Accounts are available only to adults who are at least 18 years old. By accepting this Agreement, you certify to us and all others that you are an adult. You also agree that the current privacy policy, as provided on this web site, is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

Upon your acceptance of these terms, we will automatically charge your credit card or checking account the amount of your subscription fee plus any applicable taxes we are required to collect, and by submitting such data to us you authorize us to do so. Thereafter, on the applicable anniversary of your subscription, we will charge your credit card or checking account the then-current renewal rate for your subscription period plus any applicable taxes we are required to collect, and you authorize us to do so. All charges are stated in United States Dollars. You are responsible for providing for all hardware, software, service and other costs you incur to access your Account on our servers.

We may terminate your Account (and delete all information related to your Account) immediately if you breach this agreement. In this case, no refund will be paid. We may also terminate your Account if we decide, in our sole discretion, to discontinue offering accounts, in which event we will pay a pro-rata refund.

You may not transfer or share your Account with anyone. You may not disclose your password to any third parties. There may be an additional charge to reissue lost passwords.

DO NOT use automated unattended news posting and retrieval programs with our service. Improper use of these automated unattended posting and retrieval news programs can result in termination of your account or interruption of service without notice. We will be disabling accounts of any customers that abuse the system with these (or other) commercial, automated unattended news posting and retrieval programs. Our Usenet account services are designed and priced for individual use and NOT for commercial level archiving of gigabytes of data. For purposes of this section and purposes of clarity, abuse of the system includes but is not limited to downloading more than your account limit during any calendar month. Your individual account is for personal, non commercial use -- NOT for archiving, newsfeeding, news sucking, or testing experimental software.

You understand that we are providing you with unfiltered, uncensored access to Usenet. We cannot, nor do we try to, control the content that you will receive via Usenet. By its very nature, Usenet groups may carry offensive, harmful or inaccurate material, in some cases in postings that have been mislabeled or are otherwise deceptive. We expect that you will use caution--and common sense--when using Usenet. Furthermore, you shall comply with all applicable laws regarding your access to your Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may adjust the Usenet groups carried at any time in our sole discretion.

Although privacy issues are very important to us, given the current regulatory and technical environment you should not have an expectation of privacy in your Account or any files transmitted through it. We cannot ensure that all private email will remain private.

WE PROVIDE YOUR ACCOUNT "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure service, and we are not liable if you are unable to access your Account. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights which vary from state to state.

IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR INTERRUPTED COMMUNICATIONS, LOST DATA OR LOST PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTIES IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF FEES YOU PAID IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACTION GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. Some states do not allow the limitation of liability, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.

With respect to any content you distribute through your Account:

• You are solely responsible for your content, and we act as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of your information. However, we reserve the right to remove content from our servers if we believe it may create liability for us.
  
• You represent and warrant that any content you distribute through your Account:
  a. does not infringe on any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy;
  b. does not violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including without limitation the laws and regulations governing export control);
  c. is not defamatory, trade libelous or unlawfully threatening;
  is not obscene;
  d. does not violate any laws regarding unfair competition, antidiscrimination or false advertising, or
  e. does not contain viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or other similar harmful or deleterious programming routines. You may not distribute "spam" through your Account, nor may you take any other action which imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure. We deploy automatic word and "spam" filters that may terminate your postings without delivering them.

If you violate this term and distribute such content, we may, without prior notice, ban you from any and all services, terminate your registration, delete your messages or postings, and take any other action we deem appropriate in our sole discretion.

Copyright Act And User Deletion Policy

HornyRob.net does not condone copyright infringement. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), HornyRob.net may terminate in appropriate circumstances a direct subscriber's access to our services if the direct subscriber is a repeat copyright infringer.

A direct subscriber is a repeat copyright infringer if we receive notification from a copyright owner that the direct subscriber has, on more than one occasion, posted infringing material on the same newsgroup within a one year period. Any notification from a copyright owner to HornyRob.net should comply with Section 512(c)(3)(A) of the DMCA, and should identify each infringing posting individually by its unique message identification tag, available from the "Message ID" header in the posting. The first time that HornyRob.net receives such a notification, HornyRob.net will attempt to notify the direct subscriber of this fact and will delete the infringing posting from the newsgroup. If HornyRob.net receives another such notification that a direct subscriber has posted infringing material within a one-year period, we will delete the infringing material and terminate the access of the direct subscriber's e-mail account to our services. HornyRob.net will then will attempt to notify the direct subscriber of this fact.

HornyRob.net also may terminate a direct subscriber's access to usenet services if HornyRob.net determines in its sole discretion that the direct subscriber has abused his or her privilege of posting articles on a newsgroup.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between us with respect to the subject matter hereof.
