  1. USE OF SERVICE; COMPLIANCE WITH AUP & LAWS

You agree to comply with the Infinity Internet Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), all service specific AUPs and all applicable laws. When Infinity Internet has reason to suspect any violation of this Agreement or any statute or regulation or AUP, we may, at our sole discretion, begin an investigation or take such other action, as we deem appropriate under the circumstances. Such an investigation may include, but not be limited to, gathering information from and about the account holder, including examining the content of personal electronic communications, web pages, and any other data or files on Infinity Internet systems. By using the Services you consent to such investigation. During an investigation Infinity Internet may suspend account access, and remove or deny access to files and data, as we deem necessary. You agree to cooperate with any such investigation.

In the event that Infinity Internet, at its sole discretion, determines that a violation of this Agreement or AUP has taken place, may, but is not obligated under this agreement to, take enforcement measures. Such enforcement is at Infinity Internet’s sole discretion and may include, without limitation:

Notices and/or warnings about future violations. Suspension or termination of any or all Infinity Internet Internet accounts and Services used to violate this Agreement, the AUP, any state or federal law and/or belonging to the account holder. Infinity Internet reserves the right to discontinue any and all Services to you, at any time, and without notice when Infinity Internet determines that your account has been used to violate this agreement, the AUP or any state or federal law.
Removal of any or all messages, files and/or data stored on or transmitted via Infinity Internet systems. Filing of criminal charges or initiation of civil action, as Infinity Internet sees fit, against the account holder and/or parties known or unknown.

Requiring payment for actual costs, lost income, and other liability and/or a $250 handling charge for each event in which this Agreement, the AUP or any state or federal law was violated.

Infinity Internet reserves the right to restrict or prohibit access to any part of its system, at its sole discretion and as it sees fit, to protect its interests, the interests of the majority of its users, and to maintain consistent availability of system resources. You agree that for each violation, Infinity Internet may, at its sole discretion, bill you a handling charge for actual costs, lost income, and other liability incurred due to said violation. You agree to remit the billed amount within 30 days of receipt of such billing. You agree that, absent payment in full, Infinity Internet may bill your credit card directly or submit the billing for collection.

Infinity Internet reservation of rights does not imply nor impose on Infinity Internet any obligation to monitor or enforce your obligations under these Terms and Conditions or the AUP or your compliance with any state or federal law.

Any use of Infinity Internet software or third-party software distributed by Infinity Internet is governed by the end-user license agreement that accompanies the software. Use of such software indicates your complete agreement with and acceptance of any and all terms in any such license agreement.

  1. SERVICE & RATE CHANGES

Due to the changing nature of various factors affecting technology, telecommunications and the Internet Infinity Internet may, at its sole option, decide to change services and/or rates from time to time. Infinity Internet reserves the right to change or discontinue Services at any time upon 30 days notice. Notices may be given electronically via e-mail, by US postal mail, or by posting on the Infinity Internet website and shall be deemed given when sent.

  1. MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENTS

Infinity Internet account holders must be at least eighteen (18) years of age.

  1. BILLING/PAYMENT

You agree to provide Infinity Internet with complete and accurate billing information at the time your account is created and to update this information within 30 days of any change. Such billing information includes, without limitation, your legal name, mailing address, and telephone number(s) and any applicable e-mail addresses. Providing false billing information shall be cause for immediate and permanent termination of the account. You agree that you are responsible for making payment in full for any account you have opened.

Infinity Internet bills in cycles (the “Billing Cycle”). Charges for new accounts may be prorated. Prorated charges on new accounts will be based on the daily value of the subscribed service for the number of days required to reach a next bill date of the first of the month. Charges for terminating accounts are not prorated. Service payments may be required in advance of receiving Services.

The starting date of the billable period will be the earlier of the day we receive the electronic order form or the day a phone order is received and entered.

Unless otherwise agreed based on the Service provided and applicable fee schedule or in specific written contract signed by both parties, Payment is due upon the due date noted on the bill. The due date on the bill is the 25th of the month prior to the next billing cycle. Delinquent accounts are those that remain unpaid 10 days after the due date. Invoices with payment terms of Net 30, become delinquent if payment in full is not received by the end of the term. Delinquent accounts may incur a late charge up to the maximum amount allowed by law.

Infinity Internet reserves the right to charge a premium to recurring service fees for any service previously under contract not renewed under a term agreement.

Data Privacy Policy – Infinity Internet agrees not to use cardholder names, account numbers or other credit card transaction information embossed, encoded, or appearing in any other manner on a card for any purpose other than for the sole purpose of assisting Infinity Internet in completing the transaction, or as specifically required by law. Infinity Internet also agrees not to disclose or remit cardholder names, account numbers or other credit card transaction information embossed, encoded, or appearing in any other manner on a card or any other document or form evidencing such information to any third party other than the financial institution or its designated agent. Infinity Internet further agrees to store all materials containing cardholder names, account numbers or other credit card transaction information including, without limitation, sales drafts and credit transaction receipts in a secure area limited to selected personnel and, prior to discarding, to destroy this data in a manner rendering it unreadable.

Policy Regarding “95th Percentile” Bandwidth Utilization and Billing-
On a monthly basis, our Customers purchase a minimum amount of committed bandwidth for each Service a specified term. To account for the instances that the Customer’s traffic bursts over the minimum committed amount of bandwidth, Infinity Internet utilizes a billing method referred to as the “95th Percentile” as defined below:

  1. Infinity Internet shall invoice Customer on a monthly basis in advance for the minimum committed bandwidth at the rate set by our Service Order Form. Infinity Internet’s SNMP bandwidth monitoring will sample (record a data point reflecting how much bandwidth Customer is utilizing at that particular instance) the inbound and outbound for each Service connection every 5 minutes and store those samples for a period of one month.
  2. At the end of the month, all the data samples for the inbound and outbound are collected and sorted from highest to lowest individually. The highest 5% of each of the inbound and outbound are discarded, and the next highest remaining data sample on either the inbound or outbound is the “95thPercentile” number. This number is used as the basis for computation of any additional charges for that particular month of Service over the minimum committed bandwidth. If the 95thPercentile calculation resulted in a number less than Customer’s minimum committed bandwidth then no additional charges would occur for that month.
  3. Unless otherwise stated on the Service Order, Customer’s minimum amount of committed bandwidth is 100Mbps.

Data Security Method – Customer data is transmitted via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). To find out if your transaction is guarded by SSL, look for the picture of the unbroken key or closed lock in your browser window (both the Netscape Navigator/Communicator and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers use SSL). Either indicator means SSL is hard at work. (If you don’t see either one, or if you see a broken key or an open lock, that means SSL is definitely not hard at work protecting your transaction.) The easy way, you can tell if SSL is guarding your transaction is to check the URL of the site you are visiting. It should change from “http” to “https” when processing secure transactions.

Payment Methods:

Credit Card or Automatic Bank Withdrawal: If the payment method is credit card, the customer may obtain a copy of the invoice upon request via e-mail. Depending on the Service Infinity Internet may also automatically send you an invoice via e-mail on or prior to the billing date. You do not need to respond to this e-mail, it is for informational purposes only. Infinity Internet system will automatically charge your credit card or withdraw the amount due from the bank account for the payment. If for any reason your credit card company or bank refuses to make payment of the amount billed to your credit card or submitted for automatic withdrawal on your checking account, your account will be placed in a delinquent status, which may, at Infinity Internet sole discretion, include immediate suspension without notice. It is your responsibility to contact Infinity Internet with updated information and payment arrangements if you cancel the applicable credit card or change banks associated with the automatic withdrawal.

Checks or Money Orders: If you are set up to pay by mail in check you will be invoiced in advance of the start of the new period. This will allow you time to mail in payment to ensure your service is continued un-interrupted. You are responsible for payment for the Services regardless of if you receive an invoice. Infinity Internet reserves the right to charge a $35 service charge for each returned check and to immediately send any returned check to collection. You are responsible to ensure that payment to Infinity Internet made by check or money order is sent to:

  1. DELINQUENT OR NON-PAYMENT

Infinity Internet reserves the right to remove or suspend access to an account without notice that has an outstanding balance for monthly recurring fees, setup fees, handling charges, or any other fees and charges that may be due and also reserves the right to remove or suspend access to any other accounts, regardless of their payment status, you have in your same name until such charges are paid. Suspended accounts continue to accrue charges until restored or purged, even if the account holder does not use the account. Accounts that are delinquent by more than 30 days may be purged from the system without notice and without recourse to the account holder for any lost files or data stored on Infinity Internet systems. The balance due on any account purged from Infinity Internet system remains due and may be sent to collections if not paid in full. You agree to pay Infinity Internet all costs, including attorney fees, collectors fees, accrued interest, and court costs associated with Infinity Internet collection of your past due amounts.

Infinity Internet will not release domain names for any account holder with an outstanding balance due. Infinity Internet also reserves the right to hold any co-located servers or other equipment owned or otherwise placed and used by you on Infinity Internet premises and not allow removal of such from Infinity Internet premises until all balances due Infinity Internet are paid or if such balances are not paid Infinity Internet may take any and all legal steps to use the proceeds of such servers and/or equipment to satisfy any such balances owing.

Payment by fraudulent means for any Infinity Internet account or service will result in immediate and permanent termination of the account and may result in possible civil damages and criminal penalties. Infinity Internet prosecutes check and credit card fraud.

Infinity Internet reserves the right to charge a service reconnection fee to reinstate suspended accounts.

Infinity Internet reserves the right to require, as permitted by law, the customer to reimburse Infinity Internet for reasonable costs incurred with collecting delinquent charges. Such costs may include, but are not limited to, collection agency fees as well as the costs of internal collection resources and attorney fees.

  1. CANCELLATION/REFUND OF SERVICE

Unless subject to a term commitment, this Agreement shall be on a month-to-month basis until cancelled by you or Infinity Internet. All requests for cancellation of service of Infinity Internet accounts must be made via written notice to the Infinity Internet Customer Care Center. Written notice may be rendered by email, or in writing via US Mail, to be considered effective and enforceable. Such requests must be received by the 25th day of the month in order to be processed by the end of the month. (Infinity Internet telephone and address are available in the contact section of our website). If your monthly payment is set up via credit card or ACH withdrawal, it is your responsibility to assure that such charges or withdrawals are stopped upon termination of service as Infinity Internet responsibility for any such charges collected after the alleged termination of service shall be limited to refund of one month’s charges collected from you. Cancellations will be effective as of the end of the customer billing cycle and billed through the end of the current month. Should a cancellation be made on non-contracted services that have been pre-paid, discounts no longer apply and credit will be calculated at the current monthly rate for that service, for the duration of months the service was available.

Infinity Internet reserves the right to cancel service prior to the end of any pre-paid term at any time without notice for violations of the Acceptable Use Policy or any actions related to security of the Infinity Internet network and server infrastructure.

Infinity Internet does not provide any email forwarding for canceled accounts.

Infinity Internet does not offer partial refunds for service following the start of a new service period.

Business customers with Services subject to a term agreement should refer to their service order terms and conditions for further information with respect to this Section.

  1. EARLY TERMINATION CHARGES

If you are subject to a term commitment and cancel service prior to the end of the term liquidated damages in terms of early termination charges will apply. Please refer to your contract for further details.

You also agree that any equipment you received but were not charged for or which was discounted will be returned to Infinity Internet. You acknowledge and agree that various benefits were given to you in exchange for your agreement to enter into a term commitment contract, which benefits may have included better price terms and/or waiver of certain costs of the service and that a precise measurement of damages arising from your failure to comply with your term commitment would be extremely difficult to measure, thus you agree that the liquidated damages listed above are a just and reasonable measure of damages resulting from such non-compliance.
