Services ("CBS"), and Customer, as signed below. This Agreement sets forth the terms and
conditions under which CBS shall provide Internet Access Service ("Service") and related
services to Customer.
Service Provider Responsibilities
CBS is responsible for Customer's first successful computer connection to
Service. CBS shall make reasonable effort to provide continuous, uninterrupted, expedient, and
error-free Service to Customer. CBS also blocks certain ports on our
routers for security risks. CBS cannot guarantee that all harmful
content is inaccessible from Service.

give password(s) to anyone else. Customer will not allow anyone else to use Service, except
under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Customer assumes responsibility for maintaining
up-to-date virus protection, for maintaining applicable aggregate throughput (caps) as published on
CBS' website, and for maintaining Customer's data within allocated sizes of email boxes and web space.
Customer will
not use Service for any Mission Critical purposes, including without limitation, security
systems, fire alarm systems, and/or life-support systems.
Data Usage Caps and Overages
Any monthly data usage above the stated cap limit for Customer's Service Plan (as posted on CBS' website) is
subject to review
by management and could result in moving Customer to a higher tier Service Plan, in Customer paying
for data usage overages, or in limiting Customer's download speeds so that data caps are not exceeded.

conditions:

without written authorization from CBS.
Term of Agreement
The term of this Agreement will commence on the Service Startup Date and will continue for a period of one year,
unless otherwise specified here: ______ years. At the end of the initial term, this Agreement shall
automatically renew on a month-to-month basis, unless Customer delivers to CBS at least thirty (30)

Billing, Payments, and Fees
Installation Fee and first month's Base Service Rate are due in advance of Service startup.
Monthly fees for Service are due, in advance, on the first of the month. Payment will be considered
delinquent if not received by the fifth day after the due date. CBS may assign unpaid late balances to a
collection agency for appropriate action. In the event legal action is necessary to collect
balances due, Customer agrees to reimburse CBS for all expenses incurred to recover sums due,
including processing fees, attorney fees, and other legal fees.
Customer authorizes CBS to increase Base Service Rate by the amount of government taxes or fees, if these
become applicable. Other delinquency fees may be assessed to Customer,
including but not limited to returned check fees, late payment fees, and reconnection of Service fees,
as published on CBS' website.
Indemnification
CBS cannot control the content, accuracy, or quality of information available through its Service or the Internet.
Customer understands and agrees that temporary
interruptions may occur as normal events in the provision of Service. In no event
shall CBS be liable to Customer or any other persons for any special, incidental, consequential,
or punitive damages of any kind, including without limitation, refunds of fees, loss
of profits, loss of income, or cost of replacement services. Customer agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless CBS and its authorized agents from any and all claims and expenses arising from Customer's
use of Service, which damages may include Customer or any third party.
