4. Intent.
Unless produced by PogoZone, the information Customer accesses or receives by using the service or information sent to Customer by other users is provided, entered, or posted by the users and is not reviewed, controlled, examined, verified, or endorsed by PogoZone The data and information Customer sends and receives may be subject to privacy- and security-invading activities including, but not limited to, eavesdropping, electronic trespassing, “sniffing,” “spamming,” “nuking,” “hacking,” “spoofing,” imposture, breaking passwords, harassment, fraud, forgery, and system contamination including use of viruses, “worms,” and “Trojan” applications causing unauthorized, damaging, harmful access and/or retrieval of information and data on Customer’s computer and other forms of activities that may even be considered unlawful. Information and data may also not reach its destination or may reach an erroneous address or recipient.

CUSTOMER IS ADVISED NOT TO USE OR RELY ON THE SERVICE AND INFORMATION RELATED THERETO FOR “CONTENT SENSITIVE” OR “MISSION CRITICAL” APPLICATIONS AND USE. “CONTENT SENSITIVE” MEANS ANY INFORMATION OR DATA CUSTOMER DOES NOT WISH TO BE FREELY ACCESSIBLE AND GENERALLY AVAILABLE TO INTERNET USERS. “MISSION CRITICAL” APPLICATIONS AND USE ARE THOSE WHERE CONTINUOUS OPERATION IS CRITICAL TO AN INDIVIDUAL OR COMPANY AND WHERE HARM OR DAMAGE MAY BE CAUSED IF ANY DOWNTIME WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THAT INDIVIDUAL OR COMPANY.
5. Security, And File and Print Sharing.
PogoZone’s facilities are used by numerous service subscribers. As a result, there is a risk that Customer could be subject to “eavesdropping.” This means that other service subscribers may be able to access and monitor Customer’s use of the service. This risk of eavesdropping exists not only with PogoZone’s facilities, but also on the Internet and other services to which access is provided as part of the service. Because of this risk, any sensitive or confidential information sent by Customer is sent at the Customer’s sole risk, and PogoZone shall have no liability whatsoever for any claims, losses, actions, damages, suits, or proceedings arising out of or otherwise relating to such actions by Customer.
6. FTP/HTTP Service Setup.
Customer should be aware that when using the service to access the Internet or any other online network or service, there are certain applications, such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server or HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) server, which may be used to allow other service users and Internet users to gain access to Customer’s computer. If Customer chooses to run such applications, Customer should take the appropriate security measures. PogoZone shall not have any liability whatsoever for any claims, losses, actions, damages, suits, or proceedings resulting from, arising out of, or otherwise relating to the use of such applications by Customer, including without limitation, damages resulting from others accessing Customer’s computer.
7. Local Area Network (LAN) in that each Customer is a node on the network.
As such, users outside the Customer’s home may be able to access the Customer’s computer. It is important that the Customer take appropriate steps to protect their information on the computer from being accessed by others. To this end, we encourage Customers to acquire a firewall, utilize virus protection, and implement other security measures the Customer deems necessary to protect the integrity of the data on Customer’s computer. In addition, some software includes capabilities that permit other users across a network, such as the service and the Internet, to gain access to the Customer’s computer and to the software, files, and data stored on the computer. Operating systems can include file sharing and print sharing capabilities which, when enabled, will permit other users to gain access to the Customer’s computer even if the Customer is not using the service. Notwithstanding the foregoing recommendations, Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Customer’s use of the service is at the Customer’s own risk, and PogoZone shall not have any liability whatsoever for any claims, losses, actions, damages, suits, or proceedings arising out of or otherwise relating to such use by the Customer.

10. Service Eligibility.

(b) Receiving files from third parties, via any application (i.e., email) may be harmful. Before receiving any files from any user, and even if the account from which the file transfer notice is sent looks familiar to Customer, it is strongly recommended that Customer verifies that the person sending Customer these files is indeed the person Customer thinks he or she is, for example by asking for some kind of information known only to the Customer and such other person.

Customer acknowledges that PogoZone may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the service, including without limitation (i) the maximum number of days that email messages, message board postings, or other uploaded Content will be retained by the service, (ii) the maximum number of email messages that may be sent from or received by an account on the service, (iii) the maximum size of any email message that may be sent from or received by an account on the service, (iv) the maximum disk space that will be allotted on PogoZone’s servers on Customer’s behalf. Customer agrees that PogoZone has no responsibility or liability for the failure of the service and the deletion of other Content maintained or transmitted by the service. PogoZone reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the service (or any part thereof) with or without notice.
5. Third parties.
Customer agrees that PogoZone shall not be liable to Customer or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the service. Customer further acknowledges that PogoZone reserves the right to change these general practices and limits at any time, in our sole discretion, with or without notice.
6. Indemnification.
Customer agrees to indemnify and hold PogoZone, its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, co-branders or other partners harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of the Content Customer submits, posts to or otherwise transmits through the service, Customer’s use of the service and PogoZone’s equipment, Customer’s connection to the service, Customer’s violation of the Agreement, or Customer’s infringement of any intellectual property or other right of any other person or entity.
7. Enforcement.
Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, PogoZone cannot and does not confirm that each user is who they claim to be. Because PogoZone does not and cannot be involved in user-to-user dealings or control the behavior of participants on PogoZone’s service, in the event that Customer has a dispute with one or more users, PogoZone has no ability to prevent or restrict conduct, communications, or Content which might violate the Agreement prior to its transmission on or through the service, nor can PogoZone ensure prompt removal of any such communications or Content after transmission or posting. Accordingly, PogoZone does not assume responsibility to Customer or others for any failure by PogoZone to enforce the provisions contained in the Agreement.
8. Assignment.
Customer shall have no right to assign or transfer this Agreement or the associated Customer Equipment without the express prior written consent of PogoZone.
9. Governing Law and Forum Selection.
The Agreement is between Customer and PogoZone and (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. (b) International Use. Recognizing the global nature of the Internet, Customer agrees to comply with all local rules regarding online conduct and acceptable Content. Specifically, Customer agrees to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which Customer resides. (c) All suits arising out of the Agreement shall be brought in Whatcom County, Washington.
10. Time Limitation.
Customer agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to this Agreement or use of the service must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
11. Headings.
The section headings and sub-headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
VI. Miscellaneous
CUSTOMER IS REQUIRED TO MONITOR HIS/HER EMAIL ON A REGULAR BASIS AND PROVIDE PogoZone WITH PROMPT NOTICE OF ANY CHANGE TO CUSTOMER’S EMAIL ADDRESS. Customer’s use of the service following delivery of any notice to Customer from PogoZone will be deemed to be Customer’s acknowledgment and acceptance of such notice. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to notify PogoZone of his/her e-mail address to use for all notices regarding the Agreement, the Privacy Policy, the Price List, the service, and all other notifications.
1. No Relationship.
Nothing in this Agreement will create any joint venture, joint employer, franchisee- franchiser, employer-employee, or principal-agent relationship with PogoZone, nor impose upon either company any obligations for any losses, debts, or other obligations incurred by the other except as expressly set forth herein.
2. Customer’s Account, Password, and Security.
Customers may receive a user name, password, and account designation upon registration. PogoZone Customers and members of PogoZone Customers’ household or business (if a business account has been purchased) are the only authorized users of Customer’s PogoZone account and must comply with the Agreement. Customer must keep his/her password confidential so that no one else may access the service through the account. Customer must notify PogoZone within 24 hours of discovering any unauthorized use of Customer’s account. E-mail accounts exceeding Customer’s allotted web space in size may block new incoming messages. User names, passwords, and e-mail addresses are PogoZone’s property and PogoZone may alter or replace them at any time.
3. General.
The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement and supersedes and replaces any and all prior written or verbal agreements. In the event that any portion of the Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties and the remainder of the provisions shall remain in full force and effect. PogoZone’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provisions of the Agreement.
VII. Termination and Expiration
1. Termination by Customer.
Customer may only terminate the Agreement by written notice to PogoZone. The obligation of Customer to pay for the remaining service term shall survive such termination. All related charges and fees may be billed to Customer or charged to Customer’s credit card. Customer agrees and acknowledges that the payment obligations set forth herein apply to Customer’s termination of the Agreement for any reason whatsoever.
2. Customer Obligations Upon Termination.
Customer agrees that upon termination of the Agreement, PogoZone equipment must be returned in good working condition or will be subject to a $150 non-returned equipment fee.

Nothing contained in the Agreement shall be construed to limit PogoZone’s rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

5. Multiple Users.
Customer acknowledges that Customer is executing the Agreement on behalf of all persons who use PogoZone’s equipment and/or service through Customer’s computer. Customer shall have sole responsibility for ensuring that all such other users understand and comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that Customer is solely responsible and liable for any and all breaches of the terms and conditions of the Agreement, whether such breach is the result of use of the service and/or PogoZone’s equipment by Customer or by another user of Customer’s computer.
