Terms Of Service

Goals

TeleSouth's goals are to protect network resources, preserve the privacy and security of TeleSouth and our customers' networks, and maximize the utility of TeleSouth and the Internet, while recognizing TeleSouth's position in the Internet community as a whole.

Interpretation

The provisions of this Policy are intended as guidelines and are not meant to be exhaustive.

Generally, conduct that violates law, regulation, or the accepted norms of the Internet community, whether or not expressly mentioned in this Policy, is prohibited. TeleSouth reserves the right at all times to prohibit activities that damage its commercial reputation and goodwill.

Security

Any "denial of service" attack, any attempt to breach authentication or security measures, or any unauthorized attempt to gain access to any other account, host or network is prohibited, and will result in immediate service termination, which may be without notice.

E-mail and Usenet News

Using any TeleSouth account or server to send duplicative, unsolicited e-mail messages (commercial or otherwise), or to collect the responses from unsolicited e-mail, is prohibited.

Similarly, using any TeleSouth account or server to post advertisements or messages that violate the charter of any newsgroup or mailing list is prohibited.

TeleSouth reserves the right to make the determination whether a given message violates the newsgroup or mailing list charter. In most cases TeleSouth will defer to the judgment of the newsgroup or mailing list moderator or administrator.

Commercial messages that are appropriate under the charter of a newsgroup or mailing list, or that are expressly solicited by the recipients, are permitted.

Conduct in connection with e-mail or Usenet news that is an obvious nuisance (such as "mail bombing") or that would be unlawful in other contexts (for example, threats, harassment, defamation, obscenity, or software piracy) is prohibited.

IRC (Internet Relay Chat)

Using programs that interfere with others' use, or running an IRC robot, on any IRC server is prohibited. When logged into any IRC server, users are expected to comply with the rules and policies established by the server's administrator.

Forgery of Identity

Falsifying addressing information or otherwise modifying headers to conceal the sender's or recipient's identity, for the purpose of circumventing this Policy, is prohibited. This provision is not intended to disallow the use of aliases or anonymous remailers for any legitimate purpose.

Copyright, Privacy, and Intellectual Property

Using a TeleSouth connection to commit, aid or abet any violation of copyright or intellectual property law is prohibited.

This prohibition includes publishing a private e-mail message to third parties, by any means, without the express prior consent of the author.

The e-mail addresses of TeleSouth subscribers are not for sale or commercial distribution to third parties without the express prior consent of the subscriber.

Cooperation with Other Providers

Using TeleSouth's facilities to engage in activities that violate the Terms of Service of any other network access provider is prohibited. For example, sending unsolicited commercial e-mail through TeleSouth's facilities to the subscribers of any Internet or online service provider that disallows unsolicited commercial e-mail is prohibited.

Consequences of Violation

Violation of this Policy by a TeleSouth customer may result in temporary suspension or permanent termination of service, at TeleSouth's sole discretion.

TeleSouth does not issue service credits for any outages incurred through service disablement resulting from Policy violations.

Cancellation of Accounts

TeleSouth requires a 30 day written notification prior to the cancellation of any account. It should be sent to us via US Mail and must be signed by the responsible party or owner of the account. Cancellation notices may be sent to:

TeleSouth Network Inc
1 Bridgestone Road
Asheville, NC. 28778

This policy is to ensure the security tof a clients account and protect TeleSouth from liability should a third party attempt to disrupt service to a legitimate client. Cancellations that occur within the first three months may be invoiced for addtional services required during the setup of the client's account that were not previously invoiced. This is at the sole discretion of TeleSouth Management.

Modification

TeleSouth reserves the right to add, delete, or modify any provision of this Policy at any time without notice.
