Privacy
and Security
Computer security and privacy are complex issues. It is important to understand
these points:
We
will cooperate with law enforcement officials and with other system administrators
in the legitimate investigation of suspicious activity. Intentional violations
of the privacy of other users, whether on our system or at another site,
will be grounds for immediate termination of your account and may lead
to criminal prosecution or civil penalties. We will not intentionally
disclose the contents of private files without the customer's permission
or a court order.
Copyright
Infringement And Hacking
You are responsible for determining the legal status of any intellectual
property you use or duplicate through our system. Some of the material
available on the network is copyrighted, and some of it may have been
distributed in violation of copyright laws. We cannot and do not review
the information flowing through or stored on our system. You agree not
to violate copyright laws by transferring copyrighted works through our
system or by causing them to be transferred or stored without the permission
of the copyright holder. Breaking this agreement will be grounds for account
termination.
We
consider the exchange of information about security mechanisms to be protected
speech. However, traffic in access codes, credit card numbers, or similar
information is a crime that we take seriously. We expect you to respect
the rights and privacy of all users and to use your account only for lawful
purposes.
Controversial
and Explicit Material
We cannot be and are not responsible for the contents of any of your communications
through Budgetnews. The Internet and Usenet are large communities that
regard censorship as worse than obscenity. Through our service, you will
have access to and you will at some time or another become exposed to
materials that you find offensive. Such materials include sexually explicit
text and (encoded) images, pro-religious and anti-religious debate, questionable
political views, and hateful speech. Budgetnews expressly disclaims liability
for any harm resulting from encountering such material. We however will
not be the haven for those wishing to traffic in child pornography. If
you are seeking a haven for the posting of child pornography you should
go elsewhere.
You
should know the laws that are in force in your community regarding the
legal age of consent and for the production of pornographic materials.
We are not responsible for anything that happens to anyone breaking these
laws.
Account

Budgetnews accounts are single-user accounts. This means that only one
login from your account is allowed at a time, and the owner of the account
(or their immediate family) is the only person allowed to use that account.
In
addition to our usage policies, we also have rules prohibiting the repeated
posting of inappropriate articles ("spamming") from a UNSC user
account. Violation of the usage policies or rules may result in the termination
of your Budgetnews user account.
Billing
and Settlement
Continuing Service Invoice Continuing services will be billed in advance.
Each month's invoice will be generated on or near your monthly billing
anniversary date. Payment is due upon receipt.

account will automatically be renewed at the end of each service period,
repeating the length of the previous service period, unless you specify
otherwise.
Payment

charge your credit card for any balance on your account. If the first
charge attempt for an invoice fails, service will be suspended. Service
will be resumed when you either request us to charge the card again or
give us a different card number online. If payment for an invoice fails
three (3) times, you will need to contact our billing office via email
at support@ccbill.com to reactivate your service.

submitted less than ten (10) days prior to the next billing period will
take effect after the following billing period. Budgetnews does not prorate
service. Your service, and thus your billing, is in whole month increments.
