DSL & T1 TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.0 Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, OffspringNet shall provide the Services purchased by Customer (whether Customer purchases such Services on-line, on an Order Form or through OffspringNet’s TeleSales department) ("Services"). Customer shall use the Services without the right of resale or distribution, and strictly in accordance with the applicable law and the Acceptable Use Policy and the Customer Policies, which are available at www.offspring.net (collectively, “Policies” and which form a part of this Agreement). OffspringNet reserves the right to change the Policies upon notice to Customer. If Customer does not agree to the changed Policies, Customer must terminate this Agreement without penalty by providing OffspringNet with written notice within seven (7) days of receipt of the notice of the changed Policies; otherwise any continued use of the Services shall be deemed to be acceptance of the changed Policies. If Customer adds additional services on-line or on an additional Order Form, such new services will be deemed Services and shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement. If the Customer is an individual, Customer represents and warrants he or she is at least 18 years old. Customer shall be solely responsible for the safeguarding of its passwords and may be unable to access its files in the event any password is lost, forgotten or misappropriated. OffspringNet and its suppliers may, from time to time and without liability, interrupt Services for maintenance and other operational reasons, and Customer shall not receive any compensation for such interruptions. OffspringNet reserves the sole and exclusive right to determine or revise its service area, and the right to discontinue any Service or Product without liability. Customer agrees that IP addresses are not guaranteed, transferable or provided for further distribution.

2.0 Products and Customer Equipment. OffspringNet may deliver to Customer certain software, hardware and documentation, including but not limited to CPE defined below (collectively, "Products"). OffspringNet grants to Customer a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, license to use the software and documentation during the Term solely for Customer’s own internal purposes in accordance with this Agreement. OffspringNet will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply and configure the OffspringNet supplied equipment external to Customer’s personal computer and at Customer’s premises (referred to as “Customer Premises Equipment” or “CPE”) to allow Customer to use the Services, unless Customer has chosen to supply its own OffspringNet-qualified CPE subject to the Customer Provided CPE Addendum. OffspringNet is not responsible for the configuration of, or internal equipment for, Customer’s personal computer that may be necessary to make such computer compatible with the Services. For any CPE that Customer purchases through OffspringNet, OffspringNet may supply new or recertified equipment. On new and recertified equipment purchased by Customer through OffspringNet, OffspringNet will provide a one (1) year warranty from the day the Customer’s order is closed (the “Billing Start Date” as defined in the Policies),. At OffspringNet’s discretion, any equipment OffspringNet supplies as replacement equipment (e.g., for warranty purposes) may be new, recertified or refurbished. Any equipment supplied as replacement equipment will carry the remainder of the one (1) year warranty described above. If the CPE malfunction is the result of Customer’s abuse, misuse or reconfiguration of CPE or equipment, OffspringNet will charge Customer for the Field Service Technician visit at the rates set forth in the most current version of the Customer Policies and the cost of any replacement equipment. After expiration of the one (1) year warranty period, OffspringNet will replace such malfunctioning CPE, and Customer will be responsible for the cost of the CPE and the Field Service Technician visit (if applicable), each as set forth in the Customer Policies. OffspringNet may also provide any Product or CPE upgrades at no expense to Customer, and Customer shall use all such upgrades provided by OffspringNet. OffspringNet and its suppliers shall have no obligation or liability in connection with any equipment not purchased through OffspringNet and configured by OffspringNet, or for any abuse, misuse or reconfiguration (including, but not limited to, the addition of software or other devices on the CPE) of any equipment by any party other than OffspringNet.

3.0 Setup. Services are provided over a permanent virtual circuit (“Customer Circuit”) to Customer’s premises. If Customer orders TeleSpeed DSL or TeleXtend T1 services, “Installation” will be deemed to have occurred when: (i) OffspringNet can verify connectivity of the service ordered between the CPE and the OffspringNet DSLAM or other network equipment; and (ii) OffspringNet can verify Internet connectivity from a host on the Customer’s network to a host on the Internet, through a ping test or another applicable connectivity test. If Customer orders TeleSoho or TeleSurfer ADSL services, OffspringNet “Installation” will be deemed to have occurred when the Customer CPE is able to achieve synchronization with the OffspringNet DSLAM or other network equipment. If OffspringNet is unable to successfully install a Service that Customer had originally ordered, OffspringNet will allow Customer to accept a lower speed Service, if available, or Customer may decline the Customer Circuit without a Termination Fee. If Customer declines the Customer Circuit and, if Customer has ordered only that particular service, Customer and/or OffspringNet may terminate this Agreement. Customer will be responsible for any additional, unforeseen construction costs including, without limitation, inside wiring administration and special installation costs. OffspringNet shall obtain Customer’s consent before incurring any such special costs.

4.0 Monitoring. OffspringNet and its suppliers have no obligation to monitor the Services, but may do so and disclose information regarding use of the Services for any reason if OffspringNet or its suppliers, in their sole discretion, believes that it is reasonable to do so, including to: (i) satisfy laws, regulations, or governmental or legal requests; (ii) operate the Services properly; or (iii) protect itself and its other users and customers. OffspringNet may immediately remove Customer’s material or information from OffspringNet's servers, in whole or in part, if OffspringNet, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that such content infringes another party’s property rights, is illegal or that such content violates OffspringNet's Acceptable Use Policy. In addition, OffspringNet may disconnect Customer’s service if OffspringNet believes that Customer is in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy.

5.0 Fees and Payments. Customer shall pay for all Services and Products that OffspringNet furnishes to Customer at the applicable prices set forth in Customer’s order. Customer shall also pay any repair, telephone charges and charges for inspection, installation or repair of wiring performed on Customer’s premises for the additional charges set forth in the Customer Policies. Upon Installation (as defined in Section 3), Customer shall pay all upfront fees and the first month of all monthly fees for Services for which Installation has occurred. OffspringNet shall bill Customer in advance for the Services on the monthly anniversary date of the Effective Date of this Agreement (“Anniversary Date”). For the purposes of TeleSurfer and TeleSoho billing, OffspringNet will begin billing the Customer seven (7) days after OffspringNet has shipped the self-installation kit. If Customer selects either the credit card billing or electronic funds transfer option, OffspringNet will automatically debit such account on the date amounts are due. (Note: Customer may only use a credit card or electronic funds transfer to purchase TeleSurfer services). If Customer selects the invoice option, all payments are due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, and if Customer fails to pay any bill when due, OffspringNet shall have the right to: (i) debit the Customer’s credit card for the overdue amounts; or (ii) terminate the unpaid Services or the Agreement for breach if Customer has not paid the overdue amounts within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of such overdue amounts, and Customer shall be responsible for all applicable Termination Fees. For all late payments, Customer may pay interest on overdue amounts at the lesser of (i) interest at the rate of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance due; or (ii) the maximum interest charges permitted under applicable law. Returned checks may be charged a $25.00 processing fee.

Customer shall be responsible for and shall pay all applicable federal, state and local taxes, fees, charges, surcharges or other similar exaction (hereinafter called “taxes”) imposed on or with respect to the Services and/or Products that are the subject of this Agreement whether such taxes are imposed directly upon Customer or upon OffspringNet.

Either party may terminate this Agreement or a particular Service at any time by providing at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, except that if Customer terminates this Agreement prior the end of the Minimum Term for all Services or cancels a particular Service prior to the end of its Minimum Term, or if OffspringNet terminates a Service or this Agreement for cause prior to the end of the Minimum Term, Customer will be responsible for all applicable termination and/or disconnection fees as described in the Customer Policies (“Termination Fees”). The Termination Fees for TeleSurfer and TeleSoho Services are $250.00 per line, and the Termination Fees for TeleSpeed and TeleXtend Services are $500.00 per line. Modems rented through OffspringNet must be returned if service is terminated. Failure to return modem results in $200.00 charge plus tax. Customer may upgrade to a higher grade of service without an upgrade charge. However, Customer will be responsible for any additional installation and equipment charges that are necessary to effect the upgrade. Likewise, Customer may downgrade without a downgrade charge provided that Customer has met the Minimum Term . However, additional installation and equipment charges will apply if necessary to effect the downgrade request.
