RSEGroup services according to the following terms and conditions:
-
Selection of Service Plan. Client will select one of the
service plans offered by Provider, and agrees to receive services according to the service

well as a pro rated partial month charge according to the service plan for the number of
days remaining in the calendar month from the time of initiation of service until the end
of the month in which service is initiated. On or about the first day of every month
thereafter, Client's credit card will be charged for monthly payment for services
according to Provider's published schedule. If this Agreement is terminated on some day
other than the last day of the month, Client will be obligated to pay for only the pro
rata portion of the monthly service plan charge for the month in which the service is
terminated.
-
Term. This Agreement may be
terminated by Client or Provider at any time without prior
notice and without cause. If either party is in default under
this Agreement (including nonpayment), then the nondefaulting
party may also immediately terminate the Agreement without prior
notice to the other party.
-
Compliance with Law. Client will use the services offered
by Provider in a manner consistent with all applicable local, state and federal laws and
regulations.
-

Prohibition of Publication of Certain Material. Client
shall not knowingly or unknowingly submit to Provider for publication any of the following
material (including pictures, links, or any other content):

statutory, common law or other proprietary rights of others;
(b) any material that is libelous or slanderous;
(c) any material which is or contains anything obscene or

Due to the public nature of the Internet, all material submitted
by Client for publication will be considered publicly accessible. Provider does not screen
in advance Client's material submitted to Provider for publication. Provider's publication
of material submitted by Client does not create any express or implied approval by
Provider of such material, nor does it indicate that such material complies with the terms
of this Agreement.
