The Unlimited attended Plan is, "a monthly (or yearly) Internet access plan that allows the user to actively accumulate as many hours of online time as they wish within a monthly period, without having to pay overtime after a certain number of hours."

Unlimited does NOT mean that you may leave your connection on for extended periods of time without actively using the account. EXAMPLE: Connecting before you go to work and leaving your system online when you are not there actively using it. The use of any program(s) to "keep alive" your connection or to automatically reconnect if the connection is dropped is prohibited. The reason for this limitation is simple: The modems you are connecting to are shared with other Nevada County Web Surfer, Inc. users. If you stay connected and are not actively using the Internet, you are keeping other users from having access to the modem you are tying up. We are sure you would not want other users keeping you from accessing the modems, so please give them the same courtesy. Nevada County Web Surfer, Inc. reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account abusing this policy. Absolutely no refunds will be given to any account suspended or terminated for abuse to the Unlimited attended Plan.

If you would prefer to have your own modem and not share it with other users, this service is called a DEDICATED LINE CONNECTION. For information on a dedicated connection, please contact your Nevada County Web Surfer, Inc. representative.

LOCAL ACCESS. Local access dialup numbers may not be available in all areas. It is your sole responsibility to determine if use of a particular Nevada County Web Surfer, Inc. dialup number will cause you to incur long-distance, toll or other charges. Nevada County Web Surfer, Inc. is not responsible for any long-distance or toll charges incurred by you through the use of this service. You are solely responsible for all telecommunications charges including local and long-distance telephone charges for connection to the service by you and those who access the service through your account.

PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS. Payment is due within 10 days of the 1st of each month. If payment is not received within 24 days of the due date, the account is in default and subject to suspension with a $5 reactivation charge. Such interruption does not relieve you from paying past due and ongoing charges. By e-mail, US Mail, or fax, ONLY A WRITTEN REQUEST TO TERMINATE YOUR SERVICE RELIEVES YOU OF YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY FURTHER ACCOUNT CHARGES. IT DOES NOT RELIEVE YOU OF PAST OBLIGATIONS AND CHARGES. If you default, you agree to pay Nevada County Web Surfer, Inc.'s reasonable expenses, including attorney and collection fees, to enforce its rights under these Terms and Conditions. Prepaid accounts are not refundable for any reason, including termination and/or cancellation.
