American Wide Broadband’s Assessment of Inappropriate Content and Transmissions
American Wide Broadband reserves the right to refuse to transmit or post, and to remove or block, any information or materials, in whole or in part, that it, in its sole discretion, deems to be in violation of this Policy, or otherwise harmful to American Wide Broadband's network or customers using the Service, regardless of whether this material or its dissemination is unlawful so long as it violates this Policy. Neither American Wide Broadband nor any of its affiliates, suppliers, or agents have any obligation to monitor transmissions or postings (including, but not limited to, e-mail, file transfer, blog, newsgroup, and instant message transmissions as well as materials available on the Personal Web Pages and Online Storage features) made on the Service. However, American Wide Broadband and its affiliates, suppliers, and agents have the right to monitor these transmissions and postings from time to time for violations of this Policy and to disclose, block, or remove them in accordance with this Policy, the Subscriber Agreement, and applicable law.
Electronic Mail Requirements
The Service may not be used to communicate or distribute e-mail or other forms of communications in violation of this Policy. American Wide Broadband uses reasonable network management tools and techniques to protect customers from receiving spam and from sending spam (often without their knowledge over an infected computer). American Wide Broadband is not responsible for deleting or forwarding any e-mail sent to the wrong e-mail address by you or by someone else trying to send e-mail to you. American Wide Broadband is also not responsible for forwarding e-mail sent to any account that has been suspended or terminated. This e-mail will be returned to the sender, ignored, deleted, or stored temporarily at American Wide Broadband's sole discretion. In the event that American Wide Broadband believes in its sole discretion that any subscriber name, account name, or e-mail address (collectively, an “identifier”) on the Service may be used for, or is being used for, any misleading, fraudulent, or other improper or illegal purpose, American Wide Broadband (i) reserves the right to block access to and prevent the use of any of these identifiers and (ii) may at any time require any customer to change his or her identifier. In addition, American Wide Broadband may at any time reserve any identifiers on the Service for American Wide Broadband's own purposes. In the event that a Service account is terminated for any reason, all e-mail associated with that account (and any secondary accounts) will be permanently deleted as well.
Instant, Video, and Audio Messages Requirements
Each user is responsible for the contents of his or her instant, video, and audio messages and the consequences of any of these messages. American Wide Broadband assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, mis-delivery, deletion, or failure to store these messages. In the event that a Service account is terminated for any reason, all instant, video, and audio messages associated with that account (and any secondary accounts) will be permanently deleted as well.
Network Management and Limitations on Data Consumption
American Wide Broadband’s Management of the Network
American Wide Broadband manages its network with the goal to deliver the best possible broadband Internet experience to all of its customers. High-speed bandwidth and network resources are not unlimited. Managing the network is essential as American Wide Broadband works to promote the use and enjoyment of the Internet by all of its customers. The company uses reasonable network management practices that are consistent with industry standards. American Wide Broadband tries to use tools and technologies that are minimally intrusive and, in its independent judgment guided by industry experience, among the best in class. The company's network management practices will change and evolve along with the uses of the Internet and the challenges and threats on the Internet.
The need to engage in network management is not limited to American Wide Broadband. Most, if not all, large Internet service providers manage their networks. Many of them use the same or similar tools that American Wide Broadband does. If the company didn't manage its network, its customers would be subject to the negative effects of spam, viruses, security attacks, network congestion, and other risks and degradations of service. By engaging in responsible network management including enforcement of this Policy, American Wide Broadband can deliver the best possible broadband Internet experience to all of its customers.
American Wide Broadband’ Management of its Network
American Wide Broadband uses various tools and techniques to manage its network, deliver the Service, and ensure compliance with this Policy and the Subscriber Agreement. These tools and techniques are dynamic, like the network and its usage, and can and do change frequently. These network management activities may include (i) identifying spam and preventing its delivery to customer e-mail accounts, (ii) detecting malicious Internet traffic and preventing the distribution of viruses or other harmful code or content, (iii) temporarily lowering the priority of traffic for users who are the top contributors to current network congestion, and (iv) using other tools and techniques that American Wide Broadband may be required to implement in order to meet its goal of delivering the best possible broadband Internet experience to all of its customers.
Restrictions on Data Consumption
The Service is for personal, residential and non-commercial use only. American Wide Broadband reserves the right to suspend or terminate Service accounts where data consumption is not characteristic of a typical residential user of the Service as determined by the company in its sole discretion. American Wide Broadband has established a monthly data consumption threshold per American Wide Broadband High-Speed Internet account of 300 Gigabytes (“GB”). Use of the Service in excess of 300GB per month is excessive use and is a violation of the Policy. Common activities that may cause excessive data consumption in violation of this Policy include, but are not limited to, numerous or continuous bulk transfers of files and other high capacity traffic using (i) file transfer protocol (“FTP”), (ii) peer-to-peer applications, and (iii) newsgroups. You must also ensure that your use of the Service does not restrict, inhibit, interfere with, or degrade any other person's use of the Service, nor represent (as determined by American Wide Broadband in its sole discretion) an overly large burden on the network. In addition, you must ensure that your use of the Service does not limit or interfere with American Wide Broadband's ability to deliver and monitor the Service or any part of its network.
If you use the Service in violation of the restrictions referenced above, that is a violation of this Policy. In these cases, American Wide Broadband may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate your Service account or request that you subscribe to a version of the Service (such as a commercial grade Internet service, if appropriate) if you wish to continue to use the Service at higher data consumption levels. American Wide Broadband may also provide versions of the Service with different speed and data consumption limitations, among other characteristics, subject to applicable Service plans. American Wide Broadband's determination of the data consumption for Service accounts is final.
Violations of this Policy
American Wide Broadband reserves the right immediately terminate or suspend the Service account if you violate the terms of this Policy. American Wide Broadband does not routinely monitor the activity of individual Service accounts for violations of this Policy, except for determining aggregate data consumption in connection with the data consumption provisions of this Policy. In the company's efforts to promote good citizenship within the Internet community, it will respond appropriately if it becomes aware of inappropriate use of the Service. American Wide Broadband has no obligation to monitor the Service and/or the network. American Wide Broadband and its suppliers reserve the right at any time to monitor bandwidth, usage, transmissions, and content in order to, among other things, operate the Service; identify violations of this Policy; and/or protect the network, the Service and American Wide Broadband users.
American Wide Broadband attempt to inform customers of inappropriate activities and give them a reasonable period of time in which to take corrective action. American Wide Broadband also prefers to have customers directly resolve any disputes or disagreements they may have with others, whether customers or not, without American Wide Broadband's intervention. However, if the Service is used in a way that American Wide Broadband or its suppliers, in their sole discretion, believe violates this Policy, American Wide Broadband or its suppliers may take any responsive actions they deem appropriate under the circumstances with or without notice. These actions include, but are not limited to, temporary or permanent removal of content, cancellation of newsgroup posts, filtering of Internet transmissions, and the immediate suspension or termination of all or any portion of the Service (including but not limited to newsgroups). Neither American Wide Broadband nor its affiliates, suppliers, or agents will have any liability for any of these responsive actions. These actions are not American Wide Broadband's exclusive remedies and American Wide Broadband may take any other legal or technical actions it deems appropriate with or without notice.
American Wide Broadband reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of this Policy, including the gathering of information from the user or users involved and the complaining party, if any, and examination of material on American Wide Broadband's servers and network. During an investigation, American Wide Broadband may suspend the account or accounts involved and/or remove or block material that potentially violates this Policy. You expressly authorize and consent to American Wide Broadband and its suppliers cooperating with (i) law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected legal violations, and (ii) and system administrators at other Internet service providers or other network or computing facilities in order to enforce this Policy. Upon termination of your Service account, American Wide Broadband is authorized to delete any files, programs, data, e-mail and other messages associated with your account (and any secondary accounts).
The failure of American Wide Broadband or its suppliers to enforce this Policy, for whatever reason, shall not be construed as a waiver of any right to do so at any time. You agree that if any portion of this Policy is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed consistent with applicable law as nearly as possible, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless American Wide Broadband and its affiliates, suppliers, and agents against all claims and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any violation of this Policy. Your indemnification will survive any termination of the Subscriber Agreement. If a user has been determined to have violated this Policy, then the user will be liable to American Wide Broadband for all costs and expenses, including incidental and consequential damages, incurred by American Wide Broadband as a result of such violation. American Wide Broadband may also assess the violating user for administrative costs and, should American Wide Broadband elect to reactivate the Services to such, a reactivation charge. The rights and remedies reserved by American Wide Broadband are not and are not intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy available to American Wide Broadband at law or in equity. Each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy reserved to American Wide Broadband under this Policy or now or hereafter legally existing upon the occurrence of a violation of this Policy. The failure of American Wide Broadband at any time or from time to time to insist, or the election by American Wide Broadband at any time or from time-to-time not to insist, upon the strict observance by any User with of any provision of this Policy, shall not impair or be deemed in any way to have modified or waived American Wide Broadband’s right to insist thereafter on the strict observance or performance of this Policy or any provision of this Policy. The failure of American Wide Broadband at any time or from time to time to exercise, or the election by American Wide Broadband at any time or from time to time not to exercise, any right or remedy available to American Wide Broadband as provided in this Policy, shall not impair or be deemed in any way to have modified or waived American Wide Broadband’s right to exercise thereafter such right or remedy. Every right and remedy available to American Wide Broadband may be exercised at any time and from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by American Wide Broadband.
