InstaNet services are defined as the use by the account holder of the various telecommunications, software and information services provided by Instant Internet Corporation and others via the global Internet.

InstaNet services also include access to Usenet news groups. Some of these newsgroups contain adult language and some provide pictures intended for a mature audience. Account holders less than 18 years of age are required to get a parent or legal guardian to agree to these terms and conditions before we issue an account.

No more than one InstaNet connection may be used at a time per account. An InstaNet connection is defined as a connection between a customer’s host computer and modem and an InstaNet modem using the public switched telephone system or public data networks. The InstaNet connection is granted on an unlimited basis, which is defined as an active connection, while you are physically in front of your computer with data requests and responses being initiated by the customer, not by the computer or other "robotic" device.

The account holder agrees to maintain a secure password to the account. The account holder also agrees not to use any process, program or tool for guessing passwords. The account holder agrees not to use InstaNet services to gain unauthorized access to the systems and networks of others.

InstaNet does not warrant any connection to, transmission over, nor results or use of, any network connection or facilities provided under this agreement. InstaNet makes no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, of merchantability or fitness of this service for a particular purpose.

InstaNet assumes no responsibility for any damages suffered by the account holder, including but not limited to, loss of data, mis-deliveries, delays, non-deliveries, or service interruptions of any kind.

InstaNet has no liability for the quality, accuracy, or validity of the data/information gathered from the Internet. Use of information gathered through use of InstaNet services is at the risk of the account holder.

The account holder agrees to conform to applicable local, state and federal laws. In cases where data communications are addressed to those outside of those agencies, account holders are advised that acceptable use policies of those other networks apply and may limit use.

The account holder agrees to conform to the laws and regulations of the state of California while using InstaNet services. If an account holder resides in any state that does not allow conforming to California law, the account holder is not allowed to use the InstaNet services. Any use thereof, is a violation of California law. InstaNet assumes no responsibility for such actions.

Any use of InstaNet resources that disrupts the normal use of the system is considered abuse and will not be tolerated. A warning may be issued, followed by possible suspension of privileges, or loss of account. Such disruptions include, but are not limited to, bulk e-mailing, using copyrighted material, excessive bandwidth usage, installing unapproved (non-HTML) code on a Web site and any action that results in multiple complaints or quantities of undeliverable e-mail negatively affecting our servers.
