I agree and assume full responsibility for making, in advance, timely full monthly payments for Acecape services.

A. Acceptable Forms of Payment. A valid credit card account is required to place an order for Acecape ADSL service. By submitting credit card information during my subscription process, I warrant and represent that I have the authority to use such credit card account and expressly authorize Acecape to bill my credit card account periodically for all applicable services including, but not limited to, hardware that I purchase, monthly access fees, sales tax, shipping fees, late payments and other applicable charges. I understand that all charges are considered valid unless disputed, in writing, to Acecape within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which such charge has been posted to my credit card account.

I understand and agree that Acecape shall not be responsible for any charges or expenses that I may incur resulting from overdrawing my bank account or exceeding my credit card limit as a result of a charge generated by Acecape pursuant to this authority.

I understand and agree that a credit card is the ONLY acceptable form of payment for any residential Acecape ADSL account. Acecape ADSL business accounts may switch to receiving monthly statements after the second billing cycle, which statements will be due upon receipt.

B. Commencement of Charges. I understand that I will not be charged for Acecape Services until my ADSL connection is available on my telephone line, provided, however, that if I fail to report to Acecape, within one week after my scheduled activation date, that my ADSL connection is not available on my telephone line, then regardless of whether my ADSL connection is actually functioning, my Acecape ADSL account will be charged in full for Acecape Services from and after the scheduled activation date, unless and until such time as charges for Acecape Services may be abated pursuant to the provisions of "IV.c." of this Agreement.

C. Downtime Reimbursement. A proportionate downtime credit will be issued to my account for interruption of Service caused by Acecape, provided that I report such interruption of Service to Acecape and such interruption continues for seventy-two (72) consecutive hours or longer after the time such interruption is reported to Acecape customer service. No downtime credit will be issued for non-reported Service interruptions or Service interruptions created through no fault of Acecape. To report a DSL outage, I must contact Acecape customer service by telephone at the number which will be supplied to me during my account activation process.

D. Cost of Collection. In the event that I fail to pay the charges incurred under this Agreement or charges due for merchandise purchased from Acecape, I hereby agree to pay the costs incurred by Acecape to collect such outstanding charges, including, without limitation, interest on the outstanding amount at a rate of one and one-half (1.5%) percent per month, or such lower amount as may be deemed the highest lawful rate of interest allowable under the laws of the State of New York, and attorney's fees.

V. Limitation of liability

I HEREBY WAIVE, AND RELEASE AND DISCHARGE ACECAPE FROM, NY AND CLAIMS AND LIABILITY ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND AGREE THAT I SHALL MAKE NO CLAIM AGAINST ACECAPE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER LIABILITY FOR ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS TERMINATION, MY WEBSITE, MY USE OF THE SERVICES OR MY OTHER ACTIVITIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THAT ACECAPE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR LOSSES RESULTING FROM SYSTEM FAILURE OR SERVICE INTERRUPTION. I UNDERSTAND THAT SERVICE MAY BE INTERRUPTED AND THAT SUCH INTERRUPTION MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF WEBSITE CONTENT, E-MAIL TRANSMISSIONS AND/OR OTHER PROBLEMS. ACECAPE WILL MAKE REASONABLE EFFORT TO PREVENT SUCH INTERRUPTION AND/OR REPAIR LOSSES RESULTING FROM SYSTEM FAILURE, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SAME IS WITHIN ITS CONTROL, HOWEVER, I AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL ACECAPE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND IN EXCESS OF ONE ($1.00) DOLLAR.

I UNDERSTAND THAT ACECAPE DOES NOT AND CANNOT CONTROL THE FLOW OF IMAGES AND INFORMATION TO OR FROM ITS NETWORK AND OTHER PORTIONS OF THE INTERNET. SUCH FLOW DEPENDS IN LARGE PART ON THE PERFORMANCE OF INTERNET SERVICES PROVIDED OR CONTROLLED BY THIRD PARTIES. AT TIMES, ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF SUCH THIRD PARTIES CAN IMPAIR OR DISRUPT MY CONNECTIONS TO THE INTERNET (OR PORTIONS THEREOF). ACECAPE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT SUCH EVENTS WILL NOT OCCUR. ACCORDINGLY, ACECAPE DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO SUCH EVENTS.

I UNDERSTAND THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL ACECAPE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MONETARY LOSS, ARISING OUT OF VIOLATIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR MY USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE ACECAPE'S SERVICES AT ANY TIME.

VI. Indemnity

I hereby agree to indemnify and hold Acecape, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, damage, loss, liability, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, in any way related to or arising out of any violation of this Agreement on my part, or on the part of those who access Acecape's Services or the Internet through my Acecape account, including, but not limited to, unlawful behavior or the infringement of any intellectual property of a third party.

I agree that under no circumstance can I sue or recover damages from Acecape as a result of Acecape's decision to alter the scope of its services, suspend or terminate my account or take any other action during the investigation of a suspected violation of this Agreement or as a result of Acecape's conclusion that a violation has occurred.

VII. Warranty disclaimer

I ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR USE OF ACECAPE SERVICES AND THE INTERNET BY ME AND THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO ACCESS ACECAPE'S SERVICES THROUGH MY ACCOUNT. I UNDERSTAND THAT ACECAPE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS AND THAT ACECAPE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR FREE OF DEGRADATION OR ERROR. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT ACECAPE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY INFORMATION, SOFTWARE OR OTHER MATERIALS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET AND ACCESSIBLE VIA ACECAPE IS FREE OF VIRUSES, WORMS, TROJAN HORSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. I UNDERSTAND THAT ACECAPE MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR ENDORSEMENTS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE REGARDING ANY MERCHANDISE, INFORMATION OR SERVICE PROVIDED BY OR THROUGH ACECAPE OR ON THE INTERNET GENERALLY. ACECAPE MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE ACTUAL SPEED OF THE ADSL CONNECTION ON MY TELEPHONE LINES, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS TO THE CONTRARY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE VOLUME OF USERS AT MY LOCATION CAN AND DOES IMPACT THE SPEED OF ADSL SERVICE. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION GIVEN BY ACECAPE, ITS EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES OR CONTRACTORS SHALL CREATE SUCH WARRANTY.

VIII. Termination of services

I understand that Acecape reserves the right to terminate my account at any time, for reasons including, but not limited to, my failure to abide by the terms of this Agreement or my failure to pay any fees or charges when due, or for any other reason deemed appropriate, at Acecape's sole discretion.

In the event that my account is inactivated for cause, I may be required to pay re-connection charges and a prepaid deposit in order to re-activate my account. I understand that any information stored on Acecape's servers will be deleted upon inactivation. I understand that violation of certain generally accepted guidelines on Internet usage, such as restrictions on mass e-mail and mass advertising, or mass posting to news groups, may cause severe operating difficulties for Acecape, and would constitute valid and good cause for the termination of my account.

IX. Law and jurisdiction

I understand and agree that the laws of the State of New York shall govern this Service Agreement, the interpretation and enforcement of the terms contained herein, and my Acecape account. I expressly agree that exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or dispute with Acecape or relating in any way to this Agreement, my account or my use of Acecape's services, shall be in the Courts of the State of New York venued in New York County. I further agree and expressly consent to personal jurisdiction in the Courts of the State of New York in connection with any such dispute, including, but not limited to, any claim involving this Agreement or Acecape, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates.
