Member Terms & Conditions of
Use
"The Rim Internet Services" requires that all subscribers conform
to the terms and conditions of use specified here when using The Rim Internet
Services directly or when accessing any other computer system via The Rim
Internet Services. The Rim Internet Services reserves the right to modify these
terms and conditions as may be necessary or as circumstances merit. The
controlling master copy of this document is maintained at The Rim Internet
Central office in Lakeside with a current copy posted on the The Rim Internet
Services web site at http://www.therim.com. Subscriber agrees to be bound by
the terms and conditions as stated on the "master copy." Failure to comply may
result in the termination of a subscriber's account(s). If you do not agree
with these terms or conditions of use, please notify us at (928) 368-6085 or
via e-mail at support@therim.com to terminate your account(s). Usage of account
implies that the subscriber agrees with these terms and conditions.
The subscriber is solely responsible for the content of any
transmissions using the Services or any other use of the Services, by
subscriber or by any person or entity subscriber permits to access the Services
(a "User"). Subscriber agrees that it and any User will not use the Services
for illegal purposes, or to interfere with or disrupt other network users,
network services or network equipment. Disruptions include, but are not limited
to: distribution of unsolicited advertising or chain letter, propagation of
computer worms and viruses, and using the network to make unauthorized entry to
any other machine accessible via the network. (See definition and related
information on Spam below). Any transmission of information in violation of any
local, state, federal, or international regulations is prohibited. This
includes, but is not limited to: obscene, copyrighted, or threatening material
and material protected by trade secrets. The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless The Rim Internet Services for any claims that arise from the
Subscriber's use of the service. All services provided by the Subscriber in
part or in total using The Rim connections are subject to relevant local,
state, federal, and international regulations. If The Rim Internet Services or
other relevant authorities determine inappropriate usage of this service, The
Rim Internet Services reserves the right to suspend or terminate the service
immediately and without notification. Subscriber shall defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless The Rim Internet Services from and against all liabilities and
costs (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising from any and all claims by
any person based upon the content of any transmissions by Subscriber or any
User using the Services or any other use of the Services by Subscriber or any
User.
SPAM IS ILLEGAL:
The subscriber shall not participate in the distribution of
unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam) and agrees not to promote any web site
hosted by The Rim Internet Services using unsolicited commercial e-mail,
whether that e-mail originates from the The Rim Internet Services network or
not. Participation in such activities will result in termination of services
without notice. Spam can be considered as any unsolicited large amount of
e-mail (more than 10 for example) which provokes complaints to The Rim Internet
Services by any recipient; or harassment of any individuals on the Internet
after being asked to stop by those individuals and by The Rim Internet
Services; or impersonation of another individual on the Internet or
falsification and individual's name in e-mail, Usenet postings, on IRC or with
any other Internet service. This doesn't prohibit the use of nicknames or
the use of anonymous re-mailer services.
Subscriber, if a business, shall limit access to and use of the
Services to its employees (and in the case of a Subscriber that is a nonprofit
educational institution, to employees and students), shall not authorize any
person to use the Services other than for the Subscriber's business purposes,
and shall not resell or otherwise generate income by providing access to the
Services to any User.
SUBSCRIBER SHALL NOT ALLOW MULTIPLE USERS
ON MULTIPLE MACHINES TO ACCESS THE RIM INTERNET SERVICE UNDER ONE DIAL-UP
ACCOUNT. If Subscriber permits Users to access the Services, Subscriber shall
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company from and against all liabilities
and costs (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from any and all
claims by any such Users in connection with the Services, regardless of the
form of action, whether in contract, tort (including Company's active or
passive negligence), warranty, or strict liability. However, Subscriber shall
have no obligation to indemnify and defend Company against claims for direct
damages to real or tangible personal property, or for bodily injury or death,
proximately caused by White Mountain Online negligence.
"Unlimited access" is defined as access to
unlimited opportunities to connect to our service, but does not mean that
subscriber can maintain a continuous connection at all times. All users are
subject to a possible modem reset after four continuous hours of service. The
Rim Internet Services account options specify unmetered usage, but this doesn't
mean unlimited connection time. The Rim dial-up connections are configured with
time-outs, which will disconnect the line after several minutes of inactivity.
This is to prevent any subscriber from excessively using The Rim resources when
a connection is inactive. Subscriber attempts to defeat this mechanism may
result in account termination or billing for the excessive connection time.
Options for full time dial-up connections are available if this is a
requirement.
Any misuse of The Rim resources that disrupts the normal use of
the system is strictly prohibited. Such abuse may lead to termination of a
subscriber's account(s). Examples of system abuse include (but aren't limited
to) spawning processes which consume The Rims resources, consuming excessive
amounts of disk storage/main memory/CPU for extended periods of time, or spam.

be enacted by a client. The Rim Internet Services claims no responsibility over
