GENERAL:
This document and related policies may change without notice and will be updated on a regular basis. Dial-Up PPP accounts are used on an 'as needed' basis, meaning they are used only when needed and in no way are intended to be operating 24 hours a day as an ongoing connection. The account may be accessed as little or as much as a customer needs, however Nation Internet has strict definitions of how the service is used.

• PPP accounts cannot be used as a commercial avenue or connection for a dedicated server site to the Internet.
  
• PPP accounts cannot be accessed simultaneously by multiple users using the same username.
  
• Dial-Up PPP accounts do not support a static IP address.
  
• Nation Internet's Dial-Up Accounts are provided on an "as is, as available" basis. Nation Internet will not be responsible for any loss either as a result of using the service or inability to access the service.
  
• The benefits of, or rights conferred by, these Terms and Conditions are nontransferable. Use of Nation Internet's service is expressly limited to the person whose name and signature appear on the account.
  

The Internet hosts some material deemed unfit for viewing and reading by minors under the age of 18. Some sites contain information both in text and graphical formats that may be considered obscene or harmful. Customers and subscribers of Nation Internet's services will not hold Nation Internet responsible for sites and postings which could be considered obscene, lewd, offensive and/or harmful. It is Nation Internet policy that individuals are responsible for their own monitoring and viewing habits and those minors in their care. We currently do not filter or screen postings or sites on the Internet as a whole nor do we plan to in the foreseeable future. Customers and subscribers possibly offended by such material are encouraged to explore software options that block or filter sites that may be deemed unsuitable.

Abuse of any of these Terms and Conditions may result in a customer having their account disabled or terminated. Electronic means of auditing a suspected abused connection will be done by Nation Internet with respect for the customer's privacy. Continued abuse or violations of these Terms and Conditions will result in a customer's account being permanently disabled and all previous agreements rendered null and void. Nothing contained in this policy shall be construed to limit Nation Internet's actions or remedies in any way. Nation Internet reserves the right to take any and all actions it may deem appropriate under any circumstance.

REFUND POLICY:
No refunds given after initial 30 days of service on prepaid access or monthly access. NO EXCEPTIONS.

NEW CUSTOMER SALES SPECIAL POLICY:
Nation Internet new customer specials are limited to one offer per household (address and telephone number). Customers found violating this policy will be disconnected immediately and will not receive a refund of any kind.

LONG-DISTANCE RESPONSIBILITY POLICY:
Nation Internet is in no way responsible for reimbursing customers long distance phone charges incurred by the access or installation of our service. We ask that the customer check with their local phone carrier to make sure the phone number being dialed is a local call.

INACTIVITY AND DISCONNECT POLICY:
Nation Internet reserves the right to time-out a customer's connection after 20 minutes of inactivity or after 6 hours of continuous use. (If you are disconnected because of a time-out, simply log-on again. Customers who continuously remain logged on for 12 hours or more, will receive warnings to refrain from this activity.) These times are general and are subject to change. Dialup Unlimited Access customers are not permitted to operate Information Services of any type. Customers wishing to operate information services of any type are encouraged to contact the Commercial Sales Department to establish a Commercial Dedicated Account. Customers who operate servers will receive warnings to refrain from such activity. Disregard for these warnings may result in termination of the customer's account.

Electronic or mechanical means to avoid an inactivity disconnect are strictly prohibited. Electronic or mechanical means include, but are not limited to; pinging an Internet server; electronic or software autodialer features to maintain an active connection; repetitive checks for e-mail by autologin to the mail server.

ACCEPTABLE USE OF NATION INTERNET MAIL SERVERS:
Nation Internet expressly forbids all forms of mail server abuse. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Excessive POP sessions - Customers are asked to check for mail at intervals no shorter than every ten minutes. This can be set in your email client.
  
• Excessive Mail Storage - Customers are asked not to store email on our server. Instead, customers should configure their email client to delete messages once they have been read.
