INTRODUCTION:
PC's Unlimited provides its Internet Access (totalusa.net & pcu.net)
throughout the United States and Canada, as they may exist from time
to time ("Services"), to users who pay a monthly, quarterly,
semi annual or annual service fee to subscribe to the Services ("Customers"
or "Users"). By establishing an account, you agree to be
bound by this Agreement and to use the Services in compliance with
this Agreement, our Acceptable Use Policy and other policies.
If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including any future revisions, we suggest you not use our Services.
If you are a current Customer, and you do not agree with these terms
please terminate your use of the Services under Section 6.
SUBSCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS:
Customers must be at least 18 years old. Local access dial-up numbers
may not be available in all areas. You are solely responsible for determining
if use of a particular dial-up number will cause you to incur long-distance,
toll or other charges. PC's Unlimited is not responsible for any long-distance,
toll or other telecommunications charges you incur. Current prices for
PC's Unlimited Services are posted throughout our website at http://www.totalusa.net
These rates may also be obtained by calling 435-755-5877 or 877-755-5877
8am to 6pm weekdays, Mountain Standard Time. PC's Unlimited reserves
the right to change prices and institute new fees at any time.
NETWORKS:
PC's Unlimited has provided nationwide networks to ensure maximum coverage
across the United States and Canada. The primary network service names
are PCU.NET and TOTALUSA.NET with a login for Customers as username@pcu.net
or username@totalusa.net.
DIAL UP LIMITS FOR ALL ACCOUNTS:
All standard accounts are assigned “ONE” Dial Up account
with “ONE” username and “ONE” password. Each
Dial-Up account is limited to “ONE” dial up connection.
Each dial-up account is “Non Transferable” and may not be
used to maintain a simultaneous connection. Any subscriber found abusing
this policy will result in the immediate termination of all services.
Totalusa.net/pcu.net Service By PC's Unlimited will provide an account
which is "on demand usage" . Accounts will not be billed hourly
for Internet access and may log on, and keep a connection to totalusa.net/pcu.net
while ACTIVELY BROWSING THE INTERNET up to a limit of 300 hours per
calendar month. This allows our customers on average 10 hours of
usage per day. We have found that this limitation is well above the
normal users usage per month and only affects less than 1% of our users
that typically abuse Internet services. If a user reaches the 300 hour
limit, they will not be able to access the Internet until the beginning
of the next calendar month. Accounts are not to be used for unlimited
or dedicated connections to the Internet. PC's Unlimited employes a
45 minute inactivity timer as well as a 6 hour network cutoff timer
to ensure fair access to all customers. Customers who routinely stay
online for several hours or days at a time using automated mail retrieval,
auto-dialers, or any other programs which force a continual connection
to PC's Unlimited's server and override any PC's Unlimited network management
features, are violating the intent of our access policies and are denying
access to others.
PC's Unlimited reserves the right to review usage patterns and restrict
or cancel accounts that are impeding access by using excessive system
resources.
