1. THE SERVICE.

The Service consists of dial-up Internet Protocol ("IP") connectivity to the WORLD INTERNET SERVICES Network, as well as access or connectivity to any of the information sources or services which may be provided by WORLD INTERNET SERVICES or be available from other service providers participating in or connected to WORLD INTERNET SERVICES'S Service. Some of these additional services may be provided without charge to users of WORLD INTERNET SERVICES'S Service, but separate charges may be applicable to some of these other services. These charges may appear on your bill from WORLD INTERNET SERVICES, or they may be billed to you separately by the providers of such services. Some other providers may also have additional registration or eligibility requirements in order to use their services. By posting updated versions of this Agreement on the Service, WORLD INTERNET SERVICES may modify the terms of this Agreement or prices for the Service, and may discontinue or revise any or all other aspects of the Service in its sole discretion and without prior notice. All such changes shall become effective upon posting of the revised Agreement on the Service, as to Service used by you after the date of such changes. The updated, on-line version of this Agreement shall supersede any prior paper or disk based copies of this Agreement that may have been in any related materials provided by WORLD INTERNET SERVICES.

2. TERM.

This Agreement for the use of the Service will be in effect from the date your completed registration is accepted by WORLD INTERNET SERVICES. This Agreement and your use of the Service may be terminated by you at any time with 30 days advance written notice to WORLD INTERNET SERVICES, or by WORLD INTERNET SERVICES at any time with or without notice for your non-payment or other default. Cancellations via telephone will NOT be accepted. The provisions of WORLD INTERNET SERVICES'S Acceptable Use Policy and all obligations of and restrictions on you and any user of your account with respect to the Service shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

User may cancel or terminate service at any time by giving a written, 30-day notice to the provider. However, because of our relationship with our network provider, if user cancels service in one month and then continues to be active on the service during any portion of the following calendar month, the user will be charged for the entire following month's service. Likewise, if a user establishes and uses service on the last day of a calendar month, then uses service on the first day of the next calendar month, the user will be charged for two months of service.

Example: User provides cancellation notification on the 10th of January. User continues to use the service during the first week of the following month, February. User will be billed for the entire month of February. User's service will be terminated the following month, March.

Example: User signs up for and uses service on the 31st of January, then uses service on the 1st of February; the user will be charged for two months.

There will be a $15 fee to re-activate your service if you are suspended for non-payment. This fee must be paid before you can reactivate your account.
