Effective January 1, 2001
Rev. February 5, 2003

1.1 This Agreement is between Shrewsbury Community Cablevision ("SCC") and the customer ("Customer"), who signs or otherwise accepts the “SCC Internet End User Agreement”. This document contains the terms and conditions of acceptable use of the Service.

1.2 This document is updated frequently. Changes to this document will be effective 30 days after their publication on the web. Each Customer agrees to review this material regularly to be aware of such changes. If any change is unacceptable, a Customer should terminate their Service as provided in the SCC Customer Agreement, Section 6.

1.3 Any violation of these Terms and Conditions of Use may lead immediately and without further notice, to the termination of Customer's access to and use of the Service. Each Customer agrees to indemnify SCC from any claims arising from Customer's use of the Service that violate these Terms and Conditions of Use.

1.4 The following factors guide the establishment and enforcement of SCC's usage policies:

• Ensuring reliable service,
• Ensuring security and privacy for individuals and networks,
• Complying with existing laws,
• Maintaining SCC's reputation as a responsible service provider,
• Encouraging responsible use of the Internet and discouraging activities which reduce the usability and value of Internet services,
• Preserving the value of Internet resources as a conduit for free expression and exchange of information.
  

1.5 SCC intends to provide each Customer with full access to the Internet. While SCC is firmly committed to the principles of free speech, certain activities are damaging to both SCC resources and the Internet and cannot be permitted under the guise of free speech. SCC's resources and the Internet's are limited, and abuse of these resources by one user negatively affects the entire community.

1.6 SCC does not routinely monitor Customer's activity except for measurements of system utilization and the preparation of billing records. However, to promote good citizenship within the Internet community, SCC will respond appropriately if SCC becomes aware of inappropriate use of the Service.

1.7 If a Customer's Service is used to violate these Terms and Conditions of Use, SCC reserves the right to remove offending materials or terminate Customer's service without notice. While SCC prefers to advise a Customer of inappropriate behavior and any necessary corrective action, flagrant violations of these Terms and Conditions of Use will result in immediate suspension or termination of the Service. SCC's failure to enforce this policy, for whatever reason, shall not be construed as a waiver of SCC's right to do so at any time.

1.8 In general, a Customer may NOT use the SCC Service:

• To violate any law or regulation;
• To violate the rules, regulations and policies of any network, server, web site, database or service provider when accessed through the SCC Service;
• To defame, defraud, deceive or offend others;
• To threaten, harass, abuse or intimidate others;
• To damage SCC's name or reputation or those of SCC's partners;
• To break or attempt to break security on any computer network, or to access any account which does not belong to the Customer; or
• To interfere with another Customer's use and enjoyment of the Internet.
  

1.9 SCC reserves sole discretion to determine whether any use of the Service is a violation of this policy.

1.10 Customer hereby authorizes SCC to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and other system administrators as necessary to enforce these Terms and Conditions of Use. As a member of the Internet community, each Customer agrees to use their Internet access responsibly. If there are any questions regarding this policy, including potential violations by other parties, please contact SCC at 100 Maple Avenue, Shrewsbury, MA 01545 Tel.508-841-8500. Please include a valid return e-mail address as well as the complete text of any message, including all headers, with which the Customer has concerns or questions.
