Access to the Internet Service is provided subject to the following Terms and Conditions:

• The Internet Service provided to the Subscriber by Maineline.net may only be used in accordance with all applicable laws, statutes, regulations and rules and solely for lawful purposes. Transmission, promulgation, theft, procurement of, communication, alteration, publication or storage of any information, protected material/property, data or material in violation of any National Law of any sovereign nation, or of International Law, the United states Annotated Code, or of any state or local law, statute, regulation or rule is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, any material, data, matter, software or software code, or intellectual property protected by copyright, trademark, privacy, or other proprietary, personal or property right, trade secret, or any other statute. It is unlawful and a violation of this Agreement to communicate, transmit, or promulgate in any manner, means or medium, any threatening, harassing, or obscene material, matter, or communications of any sort or to otherwise use the Internet Service for any illegal or unlawful purpose.
• The subscriber is solely responsible for the knowledge of and adherence to any and all laws, statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to (i) the Subscriber's use of the Internet Service, (ii) the use of any networks connected to the Internet Service, and (iii) to the communications means by which the Subscriber connects their modem, PC terminal or other equipment to the Internet service.
• The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Maineline.net, its officers, shareholders, agents and employees and its other subscribers from any and all claims, costs, expenses, judgments, causes of actions, attorneys fees, litigation and court costs resulting from the Subscriber's use of the Internet Service in any manner, whether directly, indirectly or by any act of commission or omission.
• Payment of the Internet service fee is due on the first day of the billing period of the selected service option. An Internet Service account is in default if payment of the Internet Service fee is not received within 15 days after payment is due. If the Subscriber's payment is returned to Maineline.net unpaid, the Subscriber is immediately in default and subject to a $25 fee from Maineline.net. Accounts unpaid 30 days after payment is due may have their service interrupted. Service interruption does not relieve the Subscriber from the obligation to pay the Internet Service fee. Only a written request to terminate the service relieves the Subscriber of the Subscriber's obligation to pay the monthly account charge. Accounts in default are subject to an interest charge of 1.5% per month. If the Subscriber defaults, the Subscriber is to pay Maineline.net its reasonable expenses, including attorney and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights under these Terms and Conditions. An act of default accelerates payments to be due immediately, as credit is no longer being extended.
• In the event Maineline.net is required to engage the service of an attorney because of a breach by the Subscriber of any of the terms herein contained, the Subscriber agrees to pay all of Maineline.net's reasonable attorney's fees and court costs. Upon breach of this Agreement, all of Subscriber's rights and privileges shall immediately be terminated and upon such termination all subscriber fees shall be forfeited as liquidated damages to Maineline.net. In the event of litigation both parties agree that the Law of Maine shall apply and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of the state courts of Washington County, Maine. Both parties expressly waive a jury trial.
• Either Maineline.net or the Subscriber, upon written notice sent to the other party at the addresses contained in this agreement, can cancel this agreement at any time.
