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 well over 2 million 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.

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.

responsible for all legal fees and loss of any income due the owners, Corporate Officers
of this site. I understand that my membership will be canceled without notice or refund.

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.
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.
