This Agreement consists of the terms and conditions below, the specific terms of your billing plan for the Service, the EarthLink Privacy Policy and the EarthLink Acceptable Use Policy, all of which are incorporated herein.

By establishing an account with EarthLink or using the Service, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and to use the Service in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. This Agreement governs both the Service and any EarthLink-provided equipment, such as the DSL modem and filters used in connection with the Service ("EarthLink-provided Equipment").

2. TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT

The effective date of this Agreement begins on your account billing start date, as indicated on your first invoice. You are subscribing to the Service for a 12 month subscription commitment ("12 Month Commitment"); and thereafter, the Agreement and the Service will be provided on a month to month basis until the Service is canceled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the cancellation of the Service, this Agreement will terminate. Sections 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19 and 21 of this Agreement will survive termination of this Agreement.

3. THE SERVICE

The Service consists of the combination of phone service and DSL Internet access, with various other Internet-related services such as email and web space. You must use EarthLink-provided Equipment for the DSL portion of the Service and your own equipment for the phone portion of the Service. From time to time EarthLink may impose reasonable rules and regulations regarding the use of the Service.

The Service will be used in a fixed location in qualifying areas of the United States and is for residential purposes only. This is not a business service. You will not resell or transfer the Service or the EarthLink-provided Equipment to another party without the prior written consent of EarthLink. EarthLink reserves the right to immediately cancel or modify your Service if EarthLink determines, in its sole and absolute discretion that your use of the Service or the EarthLink-provided Equipment is, or at any time was, inconsistent with normal fixed residential usage patterns or for any other reason. You will use the Service and the EarthLink-provided Equipment only for lawful purposes.

The Service quality can vary depending on location, line quality, inside wiring, Internet traffic, and other factors beyond the control of EarthLink. EarthLink does not guarantee call quality or upload or download speeds and your sole remedy is to cancel the Service.

The Service may not support 0+ or operator assisted calling (including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls or calling card calls). The Service may not support 311, 511 and/or other x11 (other than certain specified dialing such as 711 and 911, which is provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) services in one or more (or all) service areas. If you obtained a phone number from EarthLink, it not be listed in any phone directories. Phone numbers transferred from your local phone company may; however, be listed if they were listed prior to porting.

The Service may not be compatible with home security systems. You are responsible for contacting your alarm monitoring company to test the compatibility of any alarm monitoring or security system with the Service.

The email storage limits for your billing plan are posted on the EarthLink website located at www.earthlink.net. If your mailbox is approaching the storage limit for your Service, it will be noted visually on your web mail. EarthLink also will send email notices to this mailbox stating you are approaching your email storage limit. When your mailbox exceeds the allotted email storage space, you will receive a second email warning from EarthLink that your email storage is over quota and then EarthLink will stop transmitting email messages to your inbox. Any incoming emails will be bounced with an error message to the sender stating that your mailbox is full. After you delete some email messages to free up some space, new messages will be accepted again. You may purchase additional storage up to a fixed limit as described at https://myaccount.earthlink.net or https://myacount.peoplepc.com.

The Service may include limited dial-up access. You are solely responsible for determining if use of a particular dial-up number will cause you to incur long-distance, toll, or any other charges, including simultaneous login charges. EarthLink is not responsible for any long-distance, toll, or other charges you incur. Toll-free (800, 888, 877), international, and simultaneous login access costs will be extra. Current prices are listed on the EarthLink homepage at www.earthlink.net. EarthLink may change its POP numbers at any time. EarthLink reserves the right to direct you to use certain numbers to access the Service or to restrict use of specific access numbers. Usernames, passwords, email addresses and IP addresses are EarthLink's property and EarthLink may alter or replace them at any time.

Your Service billing plan permits up to 20 hours per month of dial-up modem access to the Internet. In the event that two or more modem connections are logged into your account at the same time, then simultaneous usage (“Simultaneous Usage”) charges will accrue for that month. The Simultaneous Usage fee is $1.00 per hour, pro-rated to the minute, through the end of the monthly billing cycle. The Simultaneous Usage fee will be added to your monthly bill. Your primary connection to the Internet via DSL does not count directly toward the Simultaneous Usage calculations. Although some EarthLink access plans come with multiple email addresses, two or more dial-up connections from one EarthLink account at the same time to access multiple email addresses associated with that account will accrue Simultaneous Usage charges.

Certain billing plans may offer the ability to create your personal webspace with the web design tools provided by EarthLink. The maximum webspace available for such use is 10MB per email account. Limitations may include, but are not limited to, certain software and certain operating systems. You agree to use your personal webspace in compliance with the terms of the EarthLink Acceptable Use Policy. In the event that one of your personal webspace exceeds 10 MB, no additional information can be uploaded to it. If the traffic on one of your personal webspace exceeds 1 GB of webspace in a calendar month, such personal webspace will be shut down until the next calendar month. If you want more space or bandwidth for your personal webspace, you can subscribe to the EarthLink Web Hosting Service.

You represent that when you transmit, upload, post or submit any content, images or data using the Service you have the legal right to do so and that your use of such data or content does not violate the copyright or trademark laws or any other third party rights. You agree that EarthLink has no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, value or usefulness of any content, advice or opinions contained in any emails, message boards, chat rooms, social networks or online services.

21. MISCELLANEOUS

You may not assign your rights or delegate any of your duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of EarthLink, and any attempted assignment or delegation without such consent will be void. If one or more provisions of this Agreement will be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected or impaired thereby. The foregoing does not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions that is part of the arbitration provision in Section 19; if that prohibition is found to be unenforceable, the entire "DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION" provision (but only the "DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION" provision) will be null and void and the dispute will be heard by a court. EarthLink will amend or replace such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, the original objectives and intent of EarthLink as reflected in the original provision. Nothing in this Agreement or in the understanding of the parties confers upon the parties the status of agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. EarthLink may subcontract any work, obligations or other performance required of EarthLink under this Agreement without your consent. EarthLink will not be liable for delays, damages or failures in performance because of causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of a government in its sovereign capacity, acts of war, terrorism, acts of a public enemy, fires, earthquakes, acts of God, labor disputes, strikes, work slow-downs or other labor-related activity.
