| Terms and Conditions Disclaimer: - Please Read Before Subscribing -
By subscribing to usenetserviceprovider.com, I am stating that I have fully read,
understood and accepted all terms and conditions listed in this agreement. If you have any
questions about anything listed in this disclaimer please direct them to
webmaster@usenetserviceprovider.com before you subscribe.
The content of all discussion groups, including without limitation, the descriptions for
discussion groups and the content within a specific article, is provided by and is the
responsibility of the creator of the discussion group or the person posting an article.
usenetserviceprovider.com has NO responsibility for such content and is merely a conduit
of articles traveling across Usenet. Usenet in general is a public forum much like the
world wide web is available to the public. usenetserviceprovider.com does not control
Usenet.
All articles on our servers are pushed to our servers via our upstream providers,
including large international corporations. usenetserviceprovider.com receives millions of
articles per day, and it is impossible for us or any other corporation running a Usenet
server to moderate newsgroups. Currently there are no state or federal laws that require
any ISP to moderate Usenet newsgroups.
By its very nature, Usenet groups may carry very offensive, harmful, inaccurate or
otherwise inappropriate material, or in some cases, postings that have been mislabeled or
are otherwise deceptive. We expect that you will use caution and common sense and exercise
proper judgment when using Usenet, as well as use the service at your own risk.
Again we must emphasize that it is impossible for us or any other Usenet service to police
hundreds of thousands of articles that pass through our servers everyday. Any article that
passes through our servers is the SOLE RESPONSIBILITY of the person who posted the article
or created the newsgroup.
usenetserviceprovider.com does not produce any content that passes through our servers.
usenetserviceprovider.com does not publish any content that passes through our servers.
What we mean when we say publish is that we DO NOT extract pictures or programs from
usenet for redistribution by various means, such as putting them on CD-ROM or making slide
shows or putting them in zip files for download.
usenetserviceprovider.com does not condone nor support people posting copyrighted or
illegal content to Usenet. If you discover an article that contains any copyrighted or
illegal content please follow the guidelines contained in our copyright policy. We will
then have the offending article removed IMMEDIATELY, and forward any and all relevant
information to the appropriate federal law enforcement authorities.
The name of a newsgroup is not illegal in nature and does not necessarily imply
inappropriate or illegal activity. However we encourage customers to exercise caution and
discretion when viewing and posting to all Usenet newsgroups. All content, without
limitation, is provided by and is the responsibility of the person posting the content. We
expect all customers to abide by Usenet etiquette, copyright laws, and civil and criminal
laws.

of any income due the owners, Corporate Officers of this site. I understand that my

CANCELING AND REFUNDS
Absolutely no refunds will be given after a username and password have been issued. If we
find a charge has been forcefully refunded or charged back, you will be in violation of
this agreement. You may cancel your membership at any time, to do so send an email to
support@usenetserviceprovider.com along with your account username and password. Your
account will then be cancelled at the end of your subscription period.Any chargebacks or
forced refunds, resulting in monies owing to usenetserviceprovider.com, will be forwarded
to collection agencies for recovery and be recorded in credit record. Legal action may be
commenced. Chargebacks or forced refunds from your account will also cause you to be
listed in an online fraud database. This will prevent you from using your credit card, or
phone number on the internet again with thousands of companies that use CCBILL. for their
online billing. If you were never assigned a username and password due to an error on the
part of usenetserviceprovider.com, we will activate your account and compensate you (with
extra time) for any lost time. We will not issue refunds for any other reason, with the
exception of fraud (read below for details). Even if you do not, or can not access our
service because you are unable to properly configure a software news reader program or any
other reason, there are still no refunds given. Even if you have just joined and
immediately cancel, full charges will still apply and your account will expire at the end
of its current term. Your IP address is recorded when subscribing. For more information,
please read our FAQ.
FRAUD
If your credit card or phone number was fraudulently used to gain access to this service,
Email a copy of the Police Report to us at webmaster@usenetserviceprovider.com. We will
have CCBILL. refund the charge and have your credit card or phone number blocked from
anyone ever using it with CCBILL. again. We will provide this information to the FBI
and/or Interpol for substantiation of criminal fraud charges. We take fraud very
seriously, and will press charges, both criminal and civil. Users who commit fraud by
gaining access to our sites and then by what ever means obtains refunds, are committing
fraud against a corporation in interstate commerce.
A Note from our billing company regarding refunds and fraud claims:
It should be noted that, with very few exceptions, every credit card refund results in
that card number being entered into CBILL's negative database. This is our in-house record
of past problem customers. Yes, it's possible for a never-before-encountered credit card
number to fraudulently buy from one CCBILLclient... once. After that, the card number is
forever blocked from purchasing anything from any CCBILL client.
Anyone who thinks about requesting a refund by falsely claiming his card was used
fraudulently had better be sure that he will never again want to use that card on
thousands of web sites. Even if the charge arrived on your statement because someone else
used your card (my son did what???), CCBILL has to assume that if it happened once it
might happen again. If someone unknown to you is placing charges on your credit card, now
would be a very good time to call your credit card issuer, cancel that card number and
start over with a new one.
