FEATURES & DISCLAIMERS

Unmetered Unlimited Dial-Up 
Unlimited Dial-Up Access Account allows the customer to dial Pacific Online's Modems with their own modem. Each account is limited to 1 connection at a time, unless you are paying for Multiple accounts. If your connection is idle (no traffic) for more than 20 minutes then the Pacific Online connection server will disconnect your connection. This does not mean you can not call back and reconnect. Pacific Online has this policy in place to regain resources and reset modems that are not in use. Connection speeds are not guaranteed because Pacific Online has no control over the conditions of phone lines or phone service. Pacific Online will help you resolve problems and every reasonable attempt will be made to correct slow or bad connections. 56K service is not a Full 56K connection rather a 53Kbs Downstream connection to the calling modem and a 33.6Kbs connection upstream to Pacific Online. Most callers will typically experience connection speeds ranging from 28.8 to 43Kbs. Unmetered/Unlimited Access when used in describing the type of access Pacific Online provides, means there are no per minute or usage fees from Pacific Online (except where noted - there are also possible local telephone company charges for special ISDN or business phone lines) and there are no per megabyte traffic fees. This does not mean the connection time is unlimited to the extent of a dedicated connection or 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Pacific Online considers connections over 12 hours per day, averaged over a period of 30 days, a dedicated connection (in other words, 360 hours a month). If that type of connection is needed then a dedicated account must be used.

Unlimited Email
Unlimited E-mail accounts allow the customer to send or receive as much email as he or she desires. Unlimited Email when used in describing the type of service Pacific Online provides means there are no limits on the amount of e-mail a subscriber can send or receive. There is however a limit on the number of messages and space a mailbox can hold. Each mailbox is limited to 1000 messages and 100Mb. This limit is in place to guard against mail bombing and unchecked mailboxes or list Spaming. Unlimited however does not apply to SPAM. SPAM is the unsolicited sending or posting of messages to other internet users or mailboxes. Pacific Online does not allow sending of SPAM from its mail server or mail accounts.

Spam Policy
Pacific Online, Inc maintains and operates email filters to block and/or reject unsolicited email (SPAM) or known tested email servers operating as open relays. Without operating these filters unsolicited email would have a negative effect on Pacific Online's network and email server performance. Pacific Online, Inc does not take claim or is not liable for lost, blocked, or rejected email.

Data Transfer
Unlimited Data Transfer means there are no limits on the amount of traffic a subscriber can send or receive with his or her dial-up connection. Some ISP's have limits on dialup account and therefore charge a per byte amount. We do not. However transfer limits do apply to personal and business web sites.
