III. Network Management and Limitations on Data Consumption

Why does DSLRentals.com manage its network?

DSLRentals.com manages its network with one goal: to deliver the best possible remote DSL experience to all of its customers. High-speed bandwidth and network resources are not unlimited. Managing the network is essential as DSLRentals.com works to promote the use and enjoyment of the Internet by all of its customers. The company uses reasonable network management practices that are consistent with industry standards. DSLRentals.com tries to use tools and technologies that are minimally intrusive and, in its independent judgment guided by industry experience, among the best in class. Of course, the company’s network management
practices will change and evolve along with the uses of the Internet and the challenges and threats on the Internet.

The need to engage in network management is not limited to DSLRentals.com. In fact, all large Internet service providers manage their networks. Many of them use the same or similar tools that DSLRentals.com does. If the company didn’t manage its network, its customers would be subject to the negative effects of spam, viruses, security attacks, network congestion, and other risks and degradations of service. By engaging in responsible network management including enforcement of this Policy, DSLRentals.com can deliver the best possible remote DSL experience to all of its customers.

How does DSLRentals.com manage its network?

DSLRentals.com uses various tools and techniques to manage its network, deliver the Service, and ensure compliance with this Policy and the Subscriber Agreement. These tools and techniques are dynamic, like the network and its usage, and can and do change frequently. For example, these network management activities may include (i) identifying spam and preventing its delivery to customer e-mail accounts, (ii) detecting malicious Internet traffic and preventing the distribution of viruses or other harmful code or content, (iii) temporarily lowering the priority of traffic for users who are the top contributors to current network congestion, and (iv) using other tools and techniques that DSLRentals.com may be required to implement in order to meet its goal of delivering the best possible remote DSL experience to all of its customers.

DSLRentals.com reserves the right to resolve any issue that occurred to customers account or line within 24 hours without any refund. Each day thereafter will be calculated for unused time (depending on selected plan) and refunded to customer as a credit for our services, until that issue will be resolved. If we investigate at any time that a line or PC went down or became unresponsive, got a virus or any harmful software because of a customers activity, we reserve the right to deactivate the line and we may charge a fee of up to $100 for our repair service. If we add that fee to customers bill, it MUST be paid for the service to be restored.

Sometimes DSLRentals.com may charge a fee for trial period, and it will be applied towards customers account if they decide to order our service, otherwise we guarantee money back for paid trials. The service ready date applies from the same day when customer makes a payment, if the service gets delivered (either via online account, email or IM) before 2 pm EST. Otherwise, the service ready date will be applied for the next day. Be aware that setup of new lines orders may take up to 3 business days.

Terms of Payments and Refunds

Full upfront payment is required to obtain the service. Payment amount is defined by the plan that was chosen for the service. If payment is on hold by payment processing merchant or involved in dispute, DSLRentals.com reserves the right to suspend or terminate an account without any further refund and also might blacklist such customer from purchasing any further services. DSLRentals.com reserves the right to provide only store credit, which can be used towards future purchases of its services. No refund is provided.

Are there restrictions on data consumption that apply to the Service?

The Service is for personal and commercial use only. Therefore, DSLRentals.com reserves the right to suspend or terminate Service accounts where data consumption is not characteristic of a typical residential or commercial user of the Service as determined by the company in its sole discretion. DSLRentals.com has established a monthly data consumption threshold per DSLRentals.com Remote DSL account of 250 Gigabytes (“GB”), for 3g/4g mobile monthly data consumption of up to 4 Gigabytes on shared plan (Sprint, Verizon and Rogers), up to 20 Gigabytes on unlimited plan (AT&T and Verizon) and up to 50 Gigabytes on unlimited plan (Sprint). Use of the Service in excess of provided data consumption levels (limits) per month is excessive use and is a violation of the Policy. Common activities that may cause excessive data consumption in violation of this Policy include, but are not limited to, numerous or continuous bulk transfers of files and other high capacity traffic using (i) file transfer protocol (“FTP”), (ii) peer-to-peer applications, and (iii) newsgroups. You must also ensure that your use of the Service does not restrict, inhibit, interfere with, or degrade any other person’s use of the Service, nor represent (as determined by DSLRentals.com in its sole discretion) an overly large burden on the network. In addition, you must ensure that your use of the Service does not limit or interfere with DSLRentals.com ability to deliver and monitor the Service or any part of its network. If you use the Service in violation of the restrictions referenced above, that is a violation of this Policy. In these cases, DSLRentals.com may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate your Service account or request that you subscribe to a version of the Service (such as a commercial grade Internet service, if appropriate) if you wish to continue to use the Service at higher data consumption levels. DSLRentals.com may also provide versions of the Service with different speed and data consumption limitations, among other characteristics, subject to applicable Service plans and additional charges. DSLRentals.com determination of the data consumption for Service accounts is final.

However, if the Service is used in a way that DSLRentals.com or its suppliers, in their sole discretion, believe violates this Policy, DSLRentals.com or its suppliers may take any responsive actions they deem appropriate under the circumstances with or without notice.

Neither DSLRentals.com nor its affiliates, suppliers, or agents will have any liability for any of these responsive actions. These actions are not DSLRentals.com exclusive remedies and DSLRentals.com may take any other legal or technical actions it deems appropriate with or without notice.

DSLRentals.com reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of this Policy, including the gathering of information from the user or users involved and the complaining party, if any, and examination of material on DSLRentals.com servers and network. During an investigation, DSLRentals.com may suspend the account or accounts involved and/or remove or block material that potentially violates this Policy. You expressly authorize and consent to DSLRentals.com and its suppliers cooperating with (i) law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected legal violations, and (ii) and system administrators at other Internet service providers or other network or computing facilities in order to enforce this Policy.

The failure of DSLRentals.com or its suppliers to enforce this Policy, for whatever reason, shall not be construed as a waiver of any right to do so at any time. You agree that if any portion of this Policy is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed consistent with applicable law as nearly as possible, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless DSLRentals.com and its affiliates, suppliers, and agents against all claims and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any violation of this Policy. Your indemnification will survive any termination of the Subscriber Agreement.

DSLRentals.com reserves the right to terminate any account at any time without any refund if we investigate and find out any violation of out terms of use.
