Virtual Direct Dial-up Terms & Conditions

1. Only one login per account at any one time is allowed. Under no circumstances may more than 1 person login to any dialup account at any one time! Users who login more than once at the same time with the same username will be subject to immediate account termination without prior warning. Such action will also negate any right to a refund of unused services. In addition, multiple simultaneous logins will be billed as separate accounts. What this means is, if you login twice at the same time with the same account, you will be billed for 2 accounts.
    
2. All accounts are subject to a 100-minute idle-time-out, with no limit to the number of sessions. At present there are no other set limits or restrictions imposed on usage times. We will contact you if your usage is abnormally high, and will offer other options if you wish to maintain your account with our service. We also reserve the right to impose other limits in the future as deemed necessary by account abuse.
    
3. You are expected to keep your password secret. Your password allows access to your private dialup account messages and billing information. We reserve the right to charge a service charge at our discretion to change your password.
