II. USER RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS
1. Authorized User:
The STATE TEL ONLINE / FASTTRAK DSL Service is an interactive computer on-line information, communication, and transaction service. This Service is only available to an authorized user for whom an account has been established. Any unauthorized use by any person, individual, or business, other than an authorized user is strictly prohibited. An authorized user who allows use of the STATE TEL ONLINE / FASTTRAK DSL Service via their account to an unauthorized user is in violation of this agreement. Any violation of this type may lead to an immediate suspension of access privileges or termination of access privileges and of this agreement.
2. Payment and Term of Agreement:
(a) The fees for the Services charged by STATE TEL ONLINE / FASTTRAK DSL are listed in its "Rate Schedule" as it appears on the State Telephone Company Web site: www.statetel.com and in informational documentation. The "Rate Schedule" will list which services are included in the standard monthly fee, and which are extra. Charges shall be invoiced monthly or by term agreement. User agrees that any taxes or surcharges are additional to their monthly recurring fees. User agrees and shall be liable for all attorney and collection fees arising from STATE TEL ONLINE / FASTTRAK DSL's attempt to collect any unpaid balance of user's account.
(b) IMPORTANT: STATE TEL ONLINE / FASTTRAK DSL, like many other service providers, bills for its service on a full month prepaid billing cycle. On your first STATE TEL ONLINE / FASTTRAK DSL bill you will see prorate charges, which are charges for used service from the date of account activation until the current billing cycle bill month, plus the current month's charges including any set-up fees. Depending on the date you sign up, you could actually receive a bill for two months worth of service. Our Internet billing cycle runs from the 1st to the end of each month with prorate charges based on a full month's billing cycle. For example, you subscribe for Internet access on October 8th, so you would receive a bill dated 11/1 for all services from 10/8 through 10/31, 11/1 through 11/30. The reason you are charged for November is that your November 1st bill is actually for your Internet access in November.
