Commercial advertising is an accepted and welcome use of the Internet. However, there are appropriate and inappropriate places for Internet advertising. Unsolicited commercial advertisements are not allowed in email, and will result in account suspension or cancellation and fines as stated in Additional Charges.

Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most email mailing lists. Inappropriate posting may result in account suspension or cancellation. See the newsgroup or mailing list’s charter for whether advertising is allowed or not. "Spamming", of sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unacceptable and will be treated as such. Sending a message, specially an advertisement, to more than five or six recipients, is by itself Spamming unless the individuals have specifically requested to be added to a mailing list on that topic. Email is a person-to person medium, not a broadcast medium.

You agree to abide by LSI’s policies concerning use of LSI’s Internet Services. Unsolicited advertisements via email, or via discussion groups whose charter does not explicitly allow advertisements, is specifically not an allowable use. LSI reserves the right to suspend access to service for your account(s) upon an indication of disallowed use or credit problems including delinquent payments or rejection of credit card charges. Residential and Business dialup accounts are for individual use only. Simultaneous logins on one account are not allowed. Any account with simultaneous logins may be suspended and subject to a suspension fee as outlined in the Agreement. If an account is suspended twice, it will be closed permanently.

UNLIMITED ACCESS. Unlimited dial-up accounts have no hourly charges when the account holder is wholly and exclusively engaged in personal, interactive Internet access. Personal, interactive use is approximated by LSI at 320 hours per month. Accounts may not be used for automated unsupervised use of the Internet or simultaneous connections by multiple people. Accounts may not be kept connected with a keep-alive of any sort, such as setting an email program to check mail periodically unattended. LSI may disconnect dial-up connections after extended periods of inactivity or unauthorized use.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACCOUNT USE. You are responsible for all use of your account(s) and confidentiality of password(s). LSI will suspend or change access upon notification that your password has been stolen, lost or otherwise possibly compromised. LSI is not responsible for your personal files residing online on LSI owned and controlled computers. You shall be responsible for independent backup of you data stored online.

If subscriber is less than 18 years of age, the application must be signed and these terms agreed to by a parent or legal guardian, who is responsible for all charges related to the use of subscriber’s account(s).

UNAUTHORIZED USE OF ACCOUNT. LSI will strongly react to any use or attempted use of an Internet account or computer without the owner’s authorization. Such attempts include "social engineering" (tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password cracking, security hole scanning, denial-of-service attacks (ping flooding, sending packets with an illegal packet size, UDP flooding, half-open TCP connection flooding, etc.) and the like.

Harassment or abusive use of email and other Internet services is a rare but serious misuse of Internet resources, LSI will handle incidents of harassment on a case-by-case basis, consulting with all parties involved.

Any unauthorized use of accounts or computers by a LSI customer, whether or not the attacked account or computer belongs to LSI, will result in action against the attacker, Possible actions include warnings, account suspension or cancellation, and legal action, according to the seriousness of the attack.

LIMITATIONS ON RESOURCE USAGE. LSI reserves the right to impose limits on the total amount of disk space and other resources available for your use on LSI operated computers. Dial-up account users are subject to a limit of 2MB of disk space for all their dish usage, including incoming mail files and personal Web pages, LSI reserves the right to removes files that exceed this limits. LSI reserves the right to delete without notice personal files that have not been access for more than one month.

EMAIL PRIVACY. Electronic mail passes through multiple mail servers on the Internet as it passes from source to destination. One can never be guaranteed privacy from every possible mail server; therefore, someone seeking total privacy should use some encryption scheme to render their messages unreadable by eavesdroppers, With regards to LSI’s mail servers, LSI places a high value on privacy, and will only examine users’ mail when absolutely required, rather for troubleshooting purposes or presented with a search warrant for information.

ILLEGAL MATERIAL. LSI bears certain legal liabilities for the use of its computer network and equipment. As such LSI must require that its customers do not use LSI network illegal purposes. When presented with a search warrant, LSI is obligated to release any information named therein, and will cooperate with the authorities in any criminal investigation of inappropriate Internet usage.

However, LSI recognizes that the legal status of the Internet has not yet been resolved satisfactorily, either through legislation or court precedent. Therefore LSI must make certain decisions regarding the illegality of various specific actions. Among the actions LSI considers illegal and therefore not allowed on its network are: unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material; exploitation of minors; and unauthorized use computer resources. LSI believe that the First Amendment rights of free speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of association apply to the Internet to the same degree as they do to print media, and that any attempt to infringe upon those rights is void of legitimacy.

WEB SERVICE. LSI includes Web service with residential service and hosts commercial web pages for a fee. In all cases, the Web pages reside on LSI’s computer equipment, giving LSI some ethical responsibility for the content of such pages, LSI will handle potentially inappropriate Web pages on a case-by-case basis. Examples of inappropriate information include downloadable virus code and obscenity.
