You are solely responsible for all access to and use of the Service through your Account including any breach of these Terms and Conditions by you or any user of your Account. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, \"you\" means you and every person you authorize to use the Service.

If you do not wish to be bound by these terms and conditions, you may not access or use the Service. Your Service Provider may modify these Terms and Conditions at any time without your consent or authorization, including modification of prices or modification or termination of the Service, or any components thereof. Your Service Provider will notify you of any changes to these Terms and Conditions by posting notice of the modified Terms and Conditions the \"Login\" or \"Registration\" page that is presented to you when you first access the Service from a \"Hotspot\". You agree to periodically review the then-current Terms and Conditions in order to be aware of any modifications and your continued use of the Service shall be deemed to be your acceptance of the modified Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to any modification of these Terms and Conditions, you agree that you will be unable to use the Service.
- Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold Your Service Provider, its affiliates, agents and suppliers harmless from all liabilities and expenses related to any violation of these Terms and Conditions by you or any user of your Account, or in connection with your or their use of the Service. While using the Service, you may not post, transmit or otherwise distribute information constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offence or give rise to civil liability, or otherwise use the Service in a manner which is contrary to law or to Your Service Provider\'s then-current policies or would serve to restrict or inhibit any other user from using or enjoying the Service or the Internet. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree not to use the Service for any commercial purpose not otherwise permitted by these Terms and Conditions.
- Fees and Charges. The Service is provided in accordance with the fees identified to you upon placing your order for the Service, or as otherwise identified to you by Your Service Provider from time to time. Rates and fees do not include applicable taxes. Fees are non-refundable under any circumstances. You agree to pay all such fees and charges, including applicable taxes, incurred in connection with the provision of and/or use of the Service in accordance with the rates and terms established by Your Service Provider for the Service. Your Service Provider reserves the right to alter its fees and rates, as outlined in Section 1 of these Terms and Conditions.

Any such use shall be at your sole risk and Your Service Provider, its affiliates and its agents shall be relieved from all liability in connection therewith. Hotspots represent additional security risks as compared with wired Internet connection because access to your 802.11b-compatible device is possible without being physically connected to your device, therefore, it is strongly recommended (and it is your responsibility to) ensure that the configuration of your computer is secure.
