This Agreement between SkyNet Canada, ("Your Service Provider") and you sets out duties and responsibilities associated with providing you and, if applicable, your employees ("Your Sponsored Users") with the Service through a single account (the "Account"). References in this Agreement to "you" shall be deemed to include Your Sponsored Users. By accessing the Service, you agree to the terms and conditions below. If you do not wish to be bound by these terms and conditions, you may not access or use the Service.
1. Use Subject to Your Service Provider's Policies (a) This Agreement entitles you to use the Services and to authorize Your Sponsored Users to do so under the Account. You are solely responsible for all access to and use of the Service through your Account including any breach of terms and conditions by Your Sponsored Users. You agree to comply and ensure Your Sponsored Users comply with Your Service Provider's policies respecting the Service as provided from time to time or to which you are directed when registering for or using the Service, and with any applicable laws ("Policies"). You agree to hold Your Service Provider, its affiliates and its agents harmless from all liabilities and expenses related to any violation of this Agreement by you, Your Sponsored Users or any user of your Account, or in connection with your or their use of the Service. (b) While using the Service, you or Your Sponsored Users may not: (i) post, transmit or otherwise distribute information constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offence or give rise to civil liability, or otherwise use the Service in a manner which is contrary to law or would serve to restrict or inhibit any other user from using or enjoying the Service or the Internet; (ii) post or transmit messages constituting "spam", which includes but is not limited to unsolicited e-mail messages, inappropriate postings to news groups, false commercial messages, mail bombing or any other abuse of e-mail or news group servers; (iii) post or transmit any information or software which contains a virus, "cancelbot", "trojan horse", "worm" or other harmful or disruptive component; or (iv) upload or download, post, publish, retrieve, transmit, or otherwise reproduce, distribute or provide access to information, software or other material which: (i) is confidential or is protected by copyright or other intellectual property rights, without prior authorization from the rights holder(s); (ii) is defamatory, obscene, child pornography or hate literature; or (iii) constitutes invasion of privacy, appropriation of personality, or unauthorized linking or framing.

2. Fees and Charges. The Service is provided in accordance with the monthly rates, installation fees, activation fee, and other fees, if any, identified to you upon placing your order for Service. Separate and additional rates may apply to the lease of the Service High Speed modem as specified by Your Service Provider and/or deposits may be required to secure any material or equipment non leased and provided by Your Service Provider in connection with your Services . Partial months will be charged on a prorated basis. Should the CRTC approve modifications to tariffs, service delivery obligations and/or components required to delivery the service, your service provider will have the right to proportionally adjust tariffs, specifications and conditions of the service in question. You agree to pay all fees and charges, including applicable taxes, incurred in connection with the provision of and/or use of and/or changes to the Service through your Account in accordance with the rates and terms established by Your Service Provider for the Service or to which you are directed to review when using the Service. In the event Your Service Provider fails to bill you or under bills you for a charge, you will not be responsible for paying the previously unbilled or under billed charge except where: (i) in the case of a recurring charge, you are correctly billed within a period of one year from the date the charge was incurred; or (ii) in the case of a non-recurring charge, you are correctly billed within a period of 150 days from the date the charge was incurred. Unless otherwise stated, any amount under this Service Agreement must be paid within 30 days of the date of the invoice. Amounts not paid when due will bear interest at the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum amount permitted by law. Your Service Provider may request that any amounts owing must be paid by credit card or by pre-authorized payment. Installation cost and first month of service fee must be payable upon completion of installation.
3. Refund/Cancellation/Termination Policies Once your order has been placed for Service you will have entered into a binding contract with Your Service Provider. If you subsequently cancel your order prior to activation of your Service you will be charged a cancellation fee as liquidated damages for preparatory services rendered by Your Service Provider. Termination charges will be applicable for early termination of fixed term contracts. Such termination charges will be equal to 100% of charges for the unexpired portion of such fixed term. If you migrate to a Comparable Service (as defined herein), the termination charges may be waived by Service Provider. A "Comparable Service" is one offered by Your Service Provider, having a duration at least as long as this Agreement, and to which the applicable monthly fees are no lower than those under this Agreement. Upon either cancellation or termination, the non-returned - material fee specified in paragraph 7 will be charged as liquidated damages. IF FIXED TERM CONTRACTS ARE NOT CANCELLED BY NOTICE (see clause 23 Miscellaneous) WITHIN 30 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRY OF THE INITIAL FIXED TERM, OR SUCCESSIVE FIXED TERMS, THE CONTRACT WILL CONTINUE TO RENEW AUTOMATICALLY FOR A PERIOD EQUAL TO THE FIXED TERM.

Your Equipment It is your responsibility to ensure that your computer system and that of each of Your Sponsored Users meets the current minimum requirements stated by Your Service Provider as being necessary to use the Service. From time to time, the computer equipment required to access and use the Service may change.

It is your responsibility, and that of Your Sponsored Users, to create data backups before the installation. You're Service Provider or its agents will not be held responsible for any loss of data.
9. Performance Levels Speed is a function of the bottlenecks experienced upon the wider network architecture of the Internet itself and environmental variables. As such Your Service Provider does not guarantee the maximum Service performance (throughput speeds) levels but will make every reasonable effort to ensure the highest possible quality of service is always delivered. You understand that any content that you or Your Sponsored Users may access through the Service may be subject to "caching" at intermediate locations on the Internet

Any detriment caused to the network as a result of your failure to properly secure your system and that of Your Sponsored Users may result in the immediate termination of your Service. Your Service Provider cannot guarantee privacy for Service users. Your messages may be the subject of unauthorized third party interception and review. Your Service Provider therefore recommends that the Service not be used for the transmission of confidential information. Any such use shall be at your, and that of Your Sponsored Users', sole risk and Your Service Provider, its affiliates and its agents shall be relieved from all liability in connection therewith.

The rates and fees charged by Your Service Provider reflect the allocation of risk herein and the limited recourse to Your Service Provider provided for in this Agreement.
