INTERNET SERVICES TERMS & CONDITIONS
Last Modified: January 11, 2007

INTRODUCTION:
CIS Wireless Broadband Terms of Service (“TOS”) is intended to enhance the use of the Internet by providing basic guidelines for its use. All users of CIS Wireless Broadband Internet services (the "Services")—those who access some of our Services but do not have accounts ("Visitors"), as well as those who pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Services ("Subscribers")—must comply with this TOS. We support the free flow of information and ideas over the Internet and do not actively monitor use of the Services under normal circumstances. Similarly, we do not exercise editorial control over the content of any Web site, electronic mail transmission, news group, or other material created or accessible over or through the Services. However, in accordance with this TOS, we may remove any materials that, in our sole discretion, may be illegal, may subject us to liability, or which may violate this TOS. Your violation of this TOS may result in the suspension or termination of your access to the Services and/or your CIS Wireless Broadband account or other actions as detailed in this document. 

WARRANTIES/DISCLAIMER:
CIS Wireless Broadband makes no warranties of any kind, whether expressed or implied, for the service it provides. CIS Wireless Broadband also disclaims any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. CIS Wireless Broadband will not be responsible for any damage you suffer. This includes loss of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries, misdeliveries, or service interruptions caused by its own negligence or your errors or omissions.

CONTENT DISCLAIMER:
CIS Wireless Broadband exercises no control whatsoever over the content of the information passing through it and you are warned that some information you receive may be offensive or, on occasion, obscene.  If certain language or the expression of certain ideas offends you, then by accessing this service you acknowledge that you have read this warning and will not hold CIS Wireless Broadband responsible for any language, thoughts or discussion, which may be part of information viewed by you on the Internet.  As CIS Wireless Broadband does not desire to degrade the exchange of legitimate information contained on the Internet, any information originated by you must comply with this TOS.

Use of any information obtained via the Services is at your own risk. CIS Wireless Broadband specifically denies any responsibility for the accuracy or quality of information obtained through the Services.

SUBSCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS:
Members must be at least 18 years old. Current prices for CIS Wireless Broadband services are posted throughout our website at http://www.cis-broadband.com.

BILLING POLICY:
Payments are to be made with credit card in US funds only. Accounts are invoiced and due in advance of service.  Payment is due no later than the expiration date indicated on the customer invoice.  Failing to make payments within 5 days after the first past due notice will result in the account being suspended automatically by our billing software. There will also be a $5.00 late payment fee for all delinquent accounts.

Accounts in default of payment are subject to an interruption or termination of service without notice. An interruption or termination of service due to an account being in default does not relieve the subscriber from the obligation to pay any past due account charges.

Accounts in default for more than 30 days are subject to submission to a collection agency and accruing a collection fee of $15, an interest charge of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance. If the subscriber defaults in the payment of any amounts owed thereafter, they agree to pay CIS Wireless Broadband its actual expenses, including attorney and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights under this billing policy.

CIS Wireless Broadband does not monitor accounts for inactivity. Only a phone call to 520-458-0293 or a written request via US Mail will terminate service and relieve the subscriber of the obligation to pay monthly service charges. An account in default will result in the unpaid balance plus any additional charges to be paid immediately.
