Third party traffic, including UseNet News postings and electronic mail, sent via the Customer's account is expressly forbidden. No more than one dial-up connection can be used at any time for each separate account held by the Customer. Accounts which have been transferred to other parties or show other activity in violation of this paragraph, are subject to immediate cancellation.

Use of this account to violate the security of any computer network, crack passwords or security encryption codes, transfer or store illegal material including that deemed threatening or obscene, or engage in any kind of illegal activity is expressly prohibited. The Customer will abide by all the rules, regulations and policies of those networks and computer systems accessed via this account whether operated by TheWorks or not. The Customer agrees to indemnify and hold TheWorks harmless from any claims resulting from the Customer's use of the service which damages either the Customer or another party or parties.

The account holder is responsible for any and all fixed and accumulative charges for this account. The account setup fee, which is non-refundable, and your first month service fee will be charged to your account immediately. Each month, on the date of this agreement, your account will be charged the monthly access fee for the new month plus any accumulated hourly charges for the past month. Unused free hours do not accrue from one month to the next. If you are paying for your account by check, TheWorks may require a $100.00 deposit for those accounts that have hourly charges.

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CUSTOMER TO ENSURE THE NUMBER THEY ARE DIALING IS A LOCAL, TOLL FREE CALL, OR EXPECT TO PAY CHARGES FOR LONG DISTANCE.

Payments by check not made within 14 days of the billing date are to be considered delinquent and may be subject to reasonable collection and legal fees as well as interest accrued at 1.5% per month, or the state legal limit, whichever is lower.
