network.

work. Such materials will be removed at any time upon receiving a complaint
and or notice of copyright infringement.

it will initiate an investigation. To conduct an investigation of copyright
infringement, the Complainant must submit at least two items. First, Complainant
must submit a claim in writing with the applicable copyright or trademark
registration number and a copy of the underlying copyrighted work along
with the Customer's materials. Second, Complainant must offer a good faith
certification signed under penalty of perjury. This certification must state
that the work is the property of the Complainant, that the work has been
copied and that use of the work is not defensible. With this information
in-hand, SuccessNet,
at its discretion, may, at any time deny access to the challenged material
of Customer.
14. Use of other organizations' networks or computing resources is subject
to their respective permission and usage policies.
15. For all new domains, there is an initial InterNIC registration fee of

account is active and current. These fees will appear on your billing statement
unless prior arrangements are made with our customer service department.

hosting services could involve listing subscriber's participation in relevant
directories, and subscriber expressly grants permission for such listings.

for that plan. Customer is responsible for charges related to bandwidth
exceeding the plan's allotted data transfer.
