Terms of Service Agreement
1. Real/Time’s Internet
Access Service (“Service”) consists of computing and information services
provided by Real/Time. In addition, third parties provide information,
software and other content (collectively “Third Party Content”) which
may be accessed over the Service. This agreement and our Acceptable
Use Policy (“AUP”) constitute the entire and only agreement (collectively,
the “Agreement”) between Real/Time and the account holder ("User”) with
respect to the Service and supersedes all other communications and agreements
with regard to the subject matter hereof. The term “User” includes any
individual accessing the service supplied to or in behalf of the primary
account holder.
2. User agrees to pay Real/Time for the all services user requests or
uses. If, for any reason, User terminates this Agreement or materially
breaches any of its terms, the balance (calculated by determining the
number of unpaid months in the agreement period and multiplying that
by the monthly amount) shall become immediately due. After the agreement
period, the agreement will continue on a month-to-month basis. User
must notify company in writing 30 days prior to terminating the agreement.
If user terminates the agreement, but continues to use the service after
the termination date, month to month rates will apply that may be higher
than the rates in this agreement. Throughout the agreement period, and
thereafter, all terms of this Agreement shall remain in force.
3. Unless otherwise
agreed, a User’s right to use the Service or to designate others to
use the service is not transferable and is subject to any limits established
by Real/Time, and by the User’s credit card company if billing is through
a credit card.
4. User agrees to
indemnify and shall hold harmless (including payment of reasonable attorney’s
fees) Real/Time, its corporate affiliates, and any employee or agent
thereof (each of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to individually
as “Indemnified Party”) against all liability to third parties arising
from or in connection with the provision of services to User described
in this agreement, or any acts or omissions of User in relation to its
dealings with third parties in connection to the performed services
under this agreement including causes of action brought against the
Indemnified Party in relation to the Services. These claims include,
but are not limited to, those related to alleged copyright infringement,
defamation, products liability, the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices
Act, fraud, or based in whole or in part on any negligent or grossly
negligent act or omission of the Indemnified Party, its officers, agents
or employees. User’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party will
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement by either party
for any reason. User shall pay for the defense of any such third party
action arising as described herein unless the Indemnified Party and
User shall mutually agree that the Indemnified Party will pay for the
defense. The parties expressly agree that this indemnification only
governs those claims arising from or in connection with the acts or
omissions of User.
5. User is responsible
for and must provide all telephone service, computer hardware, computer
software, and other equipment and services necessary to access the Service.
6. User shall pay,
in accordance with the provisions of the relevant billing arrangement
selected by User, any registration or monthly fees, connect time charges,
minimum charges and other charges incurred by User at the rates in effect
for the billing period in which those charges are incurred (as set out
in paragraph 2 above). User shall pay all applicable taxes relating
to use of the Service by User. User shall be responsible for all use
of the Service accessed through User’s password(s) and account(s). User
also agrees to pay for additional labor as required to terminate the
account and clean up after AUP violations.
7. User expressly
agrees that use of the Service is at User’s sole risk. Neither Real/Time
nor any of its information providers, licensors, employees, or agents
warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error free; nor does
Real/Time or any of its information providers, licensors, employees
or agents make any warranty as to the results to be obtained from use
of the service. THE SERVICE IS DISTRIBUTED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OTHER THAN THOSE WARRANTIES WHICH
ARE IMPLIED BY AND INCAPABLE OF EXCLUSION, RESTRICTION OR MODIFICATION
UNDER THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO THIS AGREEMENT. Neither Real/Time nor anyone
else involved in creating, producing or delivering the service shall
be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential
damages arising out of use of the Service or inability to use the Service
or out of any breach of any warranty. User expressly acknowledges that
the provision of this paragraph shall also apply to the Third Party
Content.
8. Except as expressly
permitted in the Acceptable Use Policy, a User may not reproduce, redistribute,
retransmit, publish or otherwise transfer, or commercially exploit any
information, software or other content which User receives through the
Service, except where the User has explicit authority from the owner
of said material to do so.
9. The Service stores
and facilitates the transmission of private electronic communications
pursuant to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (18 U.S.C.
2510, et. seq.). Electronic communications on this system are private,
and only under situations where explicitly required or allowed by law
will they be accessed, intercepted, disclosed, or used without the consent
of at least one of the parties to the communication.
10. Real/Time has
no control over the Third Party Content which may be transmitted through,
stored on, or accessed via the Service. User agrees that it assumes
all responsibility for such Third Party Content. User expressly agrees
not to use the Service to store, acquire, solicit, transfer, exchange
or otherwise be involved with any illegal or illicit material, including,
but not limited to: materials which constitute copyright infringement,
materials deemed legally obscene or child pornography, materials which
constitute illegally acquired proprietary information or trade secrets,
materials which facilitate the commission of a crime, and material which
constitutes actionable defamation.
11. User agrees
not to allow any individual under the age of 18 to use the Service in
such a way as to be exposed to indecent sexually explicit materials.
User accepts full responsibility for monitoring the activities of individuals
using the Service with User’s permission who are under 18 years of age.
12. This agreement
is, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law
of the State of Texas applicable to agreements, made and performed in
Texas. Any cause of action of a User with respect to the Service must
be instituted within one year after the claim or cause of action has
arisen or be barred.
13. Notwithstanding
any acknowledgement of a User purchase order by Real/Time, any provision
or condition in any purchase order, voucher, or other memorandum of
the User which is in any way inconsistent with, or adds to, the provisions
of this agreement is null and void. Neither the course of conduct between
parties nor trade practice shall act to modify the provisions of this
Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid,
all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
