WWISP, Inc. Standard Terms and Conditions

Agreement

Customer hereby agrees to i) all the rates, terms and conditions of the Agreement for Service and/or WWISP Circuit Order Form, signed by the Customer , including these Standard Terms and Conditions incorporated therein (the "Agreement"); and/or ii) the rates, terms and conditions of the state and federal tariffs of WWISP, Inc. ("WWISP") to the extent that state and/or federal tariff do not otherwise apply, in each case as the same exist or may be modified in the future by WWISP, including limitations on WWISP's liabilities. By posting updated versions of this Agreement on the Service, WWISP may modify the terms of this Agreement, and may discontinue or revise any or all other aspects of the Service in its sole discretion and without prior notice. All such changes shall become effective upon posting of the revised Agreement on the Service, as to Service used by you after the date of such changes. The updated, on-line version of this Agreement shall supersede any prior paper or disk based copies of this Agreement that may have been in any related materials provided by WWISP. It is your responsibility to check this Agreement regularly to determine whether this Agreement has been modified. If you do not agree to any modification of this Agreement, you must immediately stop using the Service. The rates and charges for the Service shall be as set forth in your registration package or otherwise in accordance with WWISP's rate schedule as in effect from time to time, and shall be provided to you upon request. You will be billed in advance for the term of service you have chosen, one-time, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. The Service is intended only for the non-residential use of Customer, its authorized agents and employees, and may not be resold without the prior written consent of WWISP.

Initial Term and Renewal Term (together "Term")

The initial term of a Service provided under the Agreement ("Initial Term") shall commence on the date the Service first becomes available to Customer; or (ii) if Customer purchases more than one service, the date the final Service becomes available to Customer. Customer agrees to an Initial Term as indicated on the Agreement. Upon expiration of the Initial Term (if one year or longer), the Agreement shall automatically renew on the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the rates) for successive one (1) year terms (each one (1) year term, a "Renewal Term") unless either party notifies the other of its intention to terminate the Agreement at the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, which such notice (the "Notice") shall be in writing and provided to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, as the case may be. In the event of such Notice, the Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be. Customer shall notify WWISP in writing if the Customer contact person is changed. WWISP reserves the right to reject any Customer termination request received from any person other than the designated Customer contact person.

Performance

If Customer is not satisfied with any Service provided by WWISP under the Agreement, Customer shall provide written notice specifying the performance deficiency in the Service and allow WWISP twenty (20) business days ("Notice Period") to bring the deficient performance to customarily acceptable industry performance standards ("Cure"), or if not capable of Cure within such notice period, make reasonable progress toward such Cure during the Notice Period. The written notice must cite this provision and reasonably detail the deficient performance. Should the parties agree in writing that WWISP failed to Cure or make progress toward such Cure within the Notice Period, WWISP will terminate the applicable Service upon request of Customer received by WWISP at least thirty (30) days prior to the termination becoming effective and Customer shall be responsible for paying all accrued charges for any Service used by Customer through the date of termination.

Service Initiation

CUSTOMER shall provide all necessary preparations required to comply with WWISP's installation, maintenance and operational specifications; and will be responsible for all the costs of relocation of services once installed by WWISP, and/or it's vendors; and will provide WWISP and its suppliers of communication services and equipment, reasonable access to the customer's premises to perform any acts required by this agreement. IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT WWISP HAS NOT MADE ANY GUARANTEES OR PROMISES WITH REGARD TO THE EXACT DATE OF THE COMPLETE INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONAL STATUS OF CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT TERMINATE ANY OTHER NETWORK OF ALTERNATIVE SERVICE CURRENTLY IN USE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION BEING COMPLETED. In the event Service is unsuccessfully installed at the customer location, that is to say that WWISP cannot achieve synchronization with LEC facilities and WWISP network, the contract will be null and void.

Termination and Service Performance Notices

Any Customer notice of termination of the Agreement or any Service hereunder, or notice of deficient performance under the Performance provision, must be submitted by mail, registered, or certified mail, return receipt requested to WWISP, Inc., Attn: Billing, 2200 Riverchase Center, Suite 500, Birmingham, AL 35244; or by email with confirmed receipt by WWISP, to billing@wwisp.com; or by facsimile transmission, with confirmed receipt by WWISP, to 1-205-942-4040. Any Termination notice must be received by WWISP at least thirty (30) days prior to the termination becoming effective. In the event of Termination of the Agreement, WWISP may deny Customer further access to any and all services hereunder without liability on the part of WWISP to the Customer, and WWISP may enter Customer's premises and repossess all CPE and software provided to Customer. Customer will provide WWISP full and free access to the CPE and/or software for this purpose. WWISP may cancel the agreement because of any breach of the terms and conditions of this agreement as stated herein, or at any time by giving the customer 30 days advance written notification of cancellation. WWISP may cancel the service for excessive slow payment or non-payment. In the event that WWISP cancels the agreement for non-payment the customer remains obligated by the term of the agreement.

Discontinuance Charge

If Customer terminates the Agreement after execution by Customer and before the expiration date of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, even if prior to commencement of Service, Customer shall incur a Discontinuance Charge calculated as the sum of the following: (i) the total of all unpaid monthly recurring charges that could be charged under the Agreement for the remainder of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable; (ii) any waived installation charges; (iii) the cost of any Incentives (defined below); and (iv) any miscellaneous charges incurred for dedicated access, including but not limited to engineering fees, expedite fees, carrier and local exchange service order fees, change order charges, miscellaneous configuration charges, etc. ("Dedicated Access Fees"). Because damages resulting from early termination would be difficult to determine, the parties agree that the Discontinuance Charge is a reasonable approximation of such damage and shall be considered a liquidated damage and not a penalty.

Use of Service

Customer may not resell any Service without WWISP's consent or use, or attempt to use, any Service for any fraudulent, unlawful, improper, harassing, excessive, harmful, or abusive purpose ("Improper Uses"), or so as to adversely or negatively impact WWISP's customers, employees, business, ability to provide quality service, reputation, or network, or any other person. WWISP may determine on a case-by-case basis what constitutes Improper Uses. Improper Uses may include, without limitation: (a) using an automatic dialer or program; (b) sending unsolicited messages or calls; (c) attempting to interfere with the access of any user, host, or network; (d) identity theft; (e) attempting to decipher, decompile, or reverse engineer any software; (f) posting or transmitting unlawful, infringing, or objectionable content as determined by us; (g) Caller ID spoofing; (h) probing, or attempting to tamper with or harm WWISP's systems, network, or customers; or (i) reselling or attempting to resell any aspect of the Service, whether for profit or otherwise. Customer shall indemnify and hold WWISP harmless for any costs incurred by WWISP relating to such Improper Uses. If WWISP suspects a violation of this provision, WWISP may: (i) begin legal action; (ii) suspend or terminate Service immediately and without prior notice; (iii) suspend or terminate service provided to Customer under any other agreement with us; and (iv) cooperate with law enforcement in prosecuting offenders. Customer agrees to cooperate with WWISP in investigating suspected violations. WWISP may terminate Customer's Service or change Customer's rate plan at any time, with notice, if WWISP determines, in WWISP's sole discretion, that Customer's use of the Service is excessive, unusually burdensome, or unprofitable to WWISP.

Incentives

"Incentive(s)" include, but are not limited to, free or discounted services under a term discount, waiver of any fees (i.e., installation charges, loop charges), waived rental or other charges for the use of equipment, etc. If Customer cancels any Service provided under an Incentive in full or in part, then Customer shall pay any fees Customer would have incurred without the Incentive. Likewise, Customer shall pay the then current rate for any equipment received under an Incentive (i.e., data CPE: multiplexers, CSU/DSU, routers, switches, phones, etc.) and/or, at WWISP's discretion, allow WWISP to retrieve the equipment from the Customer's premise during normal business hours.

Idle Internet Circuit Charge (if applicable)

Customer shall accept the internet connection no more than ten (10) business days after the circuit has been installed or within ten (10) business days of a reasonable attempt by WWISP to install the Service. If the Service is not accepted within this time frame, an Idle Internet Circuit Charge of up to $250 will be assessed and applied to the Customer's account on a monthly basis until the Internet Service is accepted. Acceptance is denoted by the completed installation of all Internet Services ordered. Upon acceptance of the Internet Service, the monthly charge will cease.

Internet Access (if applicable)

If Customer elects to receive WWISP Internet Access and/or Email Access ("Access") as part of the Agreement, Customer covenants that none of Customer's internet content, Email content, transmission or any other internet activities will be in violation of any local, state, federal or international laws, regulations or treaties or WWISP's Acceptable Use Policy. This applies to WWISP as well as any other network WWISP may attach-to. Any such violations may be grounds for termination of the Access. Customer agrees to abide by WWISP's Acceptable Use Policy, which is available for review by Customer at http://www.WWISP.com/links/acceptable_use.htm, or any successor URL which may be located on the WWISP website.
WWISP provides no user access security with respect to any of Customer's facilities or facilities of others. Customer shall be responsible for user access security and network access. Data transmitted over wireless devices may not be secure and may be intercepted by others unless Customer takes appropriate security measures. WWISP will assist in network security breach detection or identification at WWISP's standard rate, but shall not be liable for any inability, failure, or mistake in doing so.
Viruses and other malicious code are common on the Internet and on email. WWISP cannot protect Customer's equipment against viruses and strongly recommends Customer obtain up-to-date anti-virus and firewall software to protect Customer's equipment.
WWISP does not control, nor is WWISP responsible or liable for, data, content, services, or products (including software) that Customer accesses, downloads, receives or buys via the Service. The Internet may provide access to content Customer considered harmful to minors, or otherwise offensive or inappropriate. If Customer wishes to limit access to such content, there are a number of commercially available products that can help Customer do so. WWISP may, but does not have to, block information, transmissions or access to certain information, services, products or domains to protect WWISP, its network, the public or WWISP's users. Therefore, messages and other content may be deleted before delivery. The Internet contains unedited materials, some of which may be offensive to Customer. WWISP is not a publisher of third party content accessed through the Service and is not responsible for the content, accuracy, timeliness or delivery of any opinions, advice, statements, messages, services, graphics, data or any other information provided to or by third parties as accessible through the Service.
Customer is responsible for paying all fees and charges of third party vendors whose sites, products or services Customer accesses, buys, or uses via the Service. If Customer chooses to use the Service to access web sites, services or content, or purchase products from third parties, Customer's personal information may be available to the third-party provider. How third parties handle and use Customer's personal information related to their sites and services is governed by their security, privacy and other policies (if any) and not WWISP's. WWISP has no responsibility for third party provider policies, or their compliance with them.
If Customer elects to download into Customer's equipment or otherwise enable any software, including any "client" designed to facilitate Customer's access of the Service, Customer shall be solely responsible for, and shall be deemed to have reviewed and, to the extent applicable, acknowledged, accepted or waived, any disclosures, notices or options otherwise made available to Customer for viewing as part of the log-in process for the Service. Customer agrees that sharing the Service with another party breaches the Agreement and may constitute fraud or theft, for which WWISP reserves all rights and remedies. Customer has no proprietary or ownership rights to a specific IP or other address, log-in name, or password that Customer uses on WWISP's network. WWISP may change Customer's address, log-in name or password at any time.
Customer agrees that WWISP may access Customer's devices and information stored on it (such as drivers, software, etc.) to troubleshoot issues related to the Service; enable, operate and update the Service and software; investigate activity that may be in violation of the Agreement; or to comply with law.
If Customer provides or receives services through other networks, WWISP accepts no responsibility for authorization of such networks. Use of other networks may require approval of the respective network authorities and use will be subject to any acceptable usage policies such networks establish. WWISP does not own or control networks outside of WWISP, nor is WWISP responsible for performance (or nonperformance) within or over those networks or within non-WWISP-operated interconnection points between WWISP and other networks.
WWISP shall provide to Customer technical consultation and instruction regarding network hardware, software, access techniques and commands at WWISP's standard rates. WWISP is not responsible to Customer for the cost or expense of administrative, technical, emergency, or support personnel at Customer's location necessary for dealing with WWISP and for providing and maintaining Customer's own computer equipment, or WWISP's or other network access. Consultation Services that are extended to Customer over the phone and which exceed the customer support commitments as described in this paragraph will cost $90.00 per hour; or $150.00 per hour, if performed on the Customer's site.
Customer agrees to give WWISP polling rights to its router for the duration of the Agreement. This information will be kept in confidence and used for network polling and monitoring.
WWISP warrants that the Access will pass data packets from Customer's Router to the Internet. Use of any information obtained through the Access is at Customer's risk. WWISP specifically denies any responsibility for the speed, accuracy or quality of information obtained through the Access.
WWISP is not responsible for the reliability of equipment which WWISP did not install or configure or for the Customers' local networks or other hardware. Customer is responsible for assessing its own computer and transmission network needs, and is solely responsible for the results obtained therefrom.
If WWISP is listed as the billing contact for Customer's domain name, customer hereby consents to WWISP's annual renewal of Customer domain name unless otherwise instructed.
If a WWISP point-of-presence ("POP") fails due to failure of its equipment or circuit(s) between POPs (except in the case of fire, flood or other Force Majeure event), and this failure results in disruption of the Access, then the following adjustment will be made: If the disruption is not resolved within 12 hours, WWISP will provide an additional Access day to Customer beyond the Access Term for each calendar day (or portion thereof) of the Access disruption. The foregoing represents the sole remedy available to Customer for Access disruptions.

Customer Premise Equipment (if applicable)

In the event WWISP furnishes customer premise equipment of any sort ("CPE") and to Customer for use in connection with the Services, it shall be deemed to be billed to customer with all right, title and interest remaining with WWISP. Except for the right to use such provided CPE during the term thereof, the CUSTOMER shall have no rights therein. WWISP provided CPE must be returned at the end of the term of this agreement in the same condition as it was delivered to CUSTOMER, less normal wear and tear. CUSTOMER is responsible for any damage to CPE that is not deemed "normal" wear and tear by WWISP. CUSTOMER will be responsible for reasonable repair or replacement cost of CPE is returned damaged. Should Customer return any item of CPE that has been used or taken out of its box, Customer will pay WWISP a Restocking charge, equal to 20% of the item's sale value. Customer shall provide all consumables (e.g., paper, toner, ink) used by any CPE. WWISP, through its employees or other repair personnel, will provide maintenance as required to keep CPE in good operating condition as a result of Customer's normal use. Any manufacturer's warranties or maintenance contracts will be for the benefit of WWISP. WWISP reserves the right to substitute another type of CPE of similar functionality at its discretion. Any substituted CPE or repair and replacement parts may be new or like new. Customer shall provide WWISP or other repair personnel reasonable access to the CPE. Customer agrees to assume and bear the entire risk of any partial or complete loss with respect to the CPE from any and every cause whatsoever including theft, loss, damage, (including damage caused by Acts of God, or Force Majeure), destruction or governmental taking, whether or not such loss is covered by insurance or caused by any fault or neglect of Customer. If Customer's CPE is so equipped, wireless service within Customer's premise, is available to Customer's device only when it is within the operating range of the CPE. Connection speed is an estimate and is no indication of the speed at which Customer's device or the Service sends or receives data. Actual connection speed will vary based on device configuration, compression, distance, network congestion, interference and other factors. The accuracy and timeliness of data received is not guaranteed; delays or omissions may occur. WWISP may, but does not have to, change or improve the CPE by, among other things, changing or upgrading the 802.11b/g standard. If Customer is receiving CPE as part of Service, no rental cost will be charged to Customer, and payment of such charge shall relieve Customer of liability for Acts of God, including lightning, power surge, fire, wind, flood and earthquake. Damage caused by power surge, fire, and flood, which is not the result of an Act of God, is specifically excluded from coverage. Customer agrees to give WWISP prompt notice of any damage to or loss of any CPE, or any abandonment or relocation from Customer's premise. CPE furnished by WWISP remains the property of WWISP. For WWISP-furnished CPE that cannot be recovered from Customer's site, Customer will pay WWISP the listed purchase price for such CPE. Customer shall pay any charges at WWISP's normal time and materials rates for installation of or work on any inside wiring by WWISP in Customer's premises. CUSTOMER SHALL DEFEND AND INDEMNIFY WWISP FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS FEES) ARISING OUT OF THE PURCHASE, POSSESSION, OPERATION, CONDITION, RETURN, USE OR MISUSE OF THE CPE, THE SOFTWARE OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, EXCLUDING, HOWEVER ANY OF THE FOREGOING RESULTING SOLELY AND DIRECTLY FROM THE NEGLIGENT OR WILLFUL ACTS OF WWISP TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CUSTOMER WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CONFERRED UPON CUSTOMER UNDER UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECTIONS 2A-303, 2A-401, 2A-402 AND 2A-508 THROUGH 2A-522; PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER WILL IN NO EVENT IMPAIR OR DIMINISH ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY OTHERWISE CONFERRED UPON CUSTOMERUNDER THE AGREEMENT.

In the event CUSTOMER uses hardware and/or software that impairs CUSTOMER'S use of WWISP services, CUSTOMER shall nonetheless be liable for regular payments to WWISP upon notice from WWISP, that the hardware and/or software not provided by WWISP, is causing, or, in the sole opinion of WWISP, likely to cause hazard, interference or obstruction, CUSTOMER shall eliminate the hazard, interference or obstruction at once.

WWISP has the right to refuse any such technical services at its sole opinion. ON LEASED TELEPHONE LINES, NO MATTER THE LEASING PARTY, WWISP MUST HAVE FREE AND OPEN ACCESS TO SUCH LINES.

Such interruption of Service shall not be a breach of the Agreement, and shall not afford Customer any relief outlined in the Agreement or any other document. If, after ten (10) days written notice to Customer, the invoice shall remain unpaid, WWISP, at its election, may declare Customer in default. If Customer defaults, all amounts remaining to be paid under the Term of the Agreement shall immediately become due and payable, including the Discontinuance Charge. The remedies contained in this paragraph are cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to WWISP under the Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.
