Maverick User Rules

BY ACCESSING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE.

1. We offer "attended unlimited" dial-up service per month, but you must be using the line to stay connected. For example: "You should not call in and then go to sleep, after starting a download." If the system catches you "idling" in such a manner, the system will automatically disconnect you from the Internet and suspend your account. Your account will only be reactivated upon calling the Bookkeeping department  and explaining your situation.

2. An E-mail will be sent out to all users around the end of each month ONLY as a reminder that payment is due on the 1st. Payment on all accounts is due upon the 1st of each month, and will be deemed late if not IN THE OFFICE by close of business (6:00 PM) on the 7th. No cash refunds. All late accounts will be charged a $5.00  fee, regardless of reason. All checks must have the User ID on the check, (simply including the invoice is not acceptable). Accounts will be suspended on the close of business (6:00 PM) on the 10th if payment is not received, regardless of reason. To suspend or stop your account with Maverick you must contact us in wrting or by phone before the ending date--no other form is acceptable. If you do not notify us of your desire to stop the service, the account will continue to accrue charges and late fees.  Invoices will not be mailed on monthly Internet access accounts. If you need an invoice to pay from for business purposes, we will gladly furnish one to you by fax or other suitable arrangements. If your account is automatically charged to your credit card on file with us, we will charge the account during the first week of each month. If the charges are declined by your credit card company, we will attempt to charge the account one more time a week later. An additional fee will be added each time we try to charge your card (this is to cover the expense the credit card company charges our company for each attempt). If the second attempt also fails you will be emailed to contact us with your payment instructions.

3. Our billing is in full month increments. If you use your account for only part of the month, and then stop, you will be charged for the entire month. Any account that is used and not paid for will be deemed theft of services and treated accordingly.
