Customers are also responsible for any use or misuse of the Service that violates this Policy by anyone else you permit to access the Service (such as, but not limited to, a friend, family member, invitee, employee, servant, patron, contractor, servicer provider or guest.)

unWired prefers to notify Customers of inappropriate activities and give Customers a reasonable period of time in which to take corrective action. unWired also prefers that Customers directly resolve any disputes or disagreements you may have with others, without unWired’s intervention. However, if the Service is used in a way that unWired, in our sole discretion, believes violates this Policy, unWired (or our agents and Operational Service Provider) may take any responsive actions we deem appropriate under the circumstances with or without notice to the Customer. These actions include, but are not limited to, temporary or permanent removal of content, filtering of Internet transmissions, and the immediate suspension or termination of all or any portion of the Service. These actions are not unWired’s exclusive remedies and unWired may take any other legal or technical actions it deems appropriate with or without advance notice to Customer.

unWired reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of this Policy, including the gathering of information from the Customer or persons involved and the complaining party, if any, and examination of Content on the unWired Network and servers. During an investigation, unWired may suspend the account or accounts involved and/or remove or block Content that potentially or allegedly violates this Policy. Customers expressly authorize and consent to unWired and its agents and Operational Service Providers cooperating with (i) regulatory and/or law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected illegal violations, and (ii) system administrators at other Internet Service Providers or other network or computing facilities in order to enforce this Policy. Upon termination of your Service or account, Customers understand, acknowledge, and agree that unWired is not responsible for the deletion of any Content associated with your account (and any third-party accounts).

Any files or devices you choose to make available for shared access on a home LAN, for example, should be protected with a strong password or as otherwise appropriate.

   In all cases, you are solely responsible for the security of any device you connect to the Service, including any Content stored or shared on that device. It is also your responsibility to secure the Customer Equipment and any other p equipment or programs not provided by unWired that connect to the Service from external threats such as viruses, spam, and other methods of intrusion.

2. Use of Prohibited Content and TransmissionsunWired reserves the right to refuse to transmit or post, and/or to remove or block any Content, in whole or in part, that it, in its sole discretion, deems to be in violation of this Policy, or otherwise harmful to the unWired Network or other Customers using the Service unWired also reserves the right to suspend and to terminate the Service at any time for any violation of this Policy. Customer understands, acknowledges, and agrees that neither unWired nor any of its affiliates, Operational Service Providers, or agents have any obligation to monitor transmissions or postings (including, but not limited to, email, file transfer, blog, newsgroup, and instant message transmissions as well as Content available on the Personal Web Features as defined below) made on the Service. However, unWired and its affiliates, Operational Service Providers, and agents have the right to monitor these transmissions and postings from time to time for violations of this Policy and to disclose, block, or remove them in accordance with this Policy, any other unWired Agreements, or applicable law.

This email will be returned to the sender, ignored, deleted, or stored temporarily at unWired’s sole discretion. If you cancel or terminate your Service account for any reason, all email associated with that account (and any third-party accounts) will be permanently deleted as well.

   If unWired believes in its sole discretion that any Customer name, account name, or email address (collectively, an “Identifier”) on the Service may be used for, or is being used for, any misleading, fraudulent, or other improper or illegal purpose, unWired (i) reserves the right to block access to and prevent the use of any of these Identifiers and (ii) may at any time require any Customer to change his or her Identifier. In addition, unWired may at any time reserve any Customer Identifiers on the Service for its own administrative and legal purposes.

4. Use of Instant, Video, and Audio Messages

   Customer is responsible for the contents of his or her instant, video, and audio messages and the consequences of any of these messages. unWired assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, mis-delivery, deletion, or failure to store these messages.

DMCA COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT NOTIFICATION POLICY

unWired is committed to complying with U.S. copyright and related laws, and requires all Customers of the Service to comply with these laws. unWired complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”).

Accordingly, you may not store any Content on, or access, share or disseminate any Content over the Service (or any part of the Service) in any manner that constitutes an infringement of third party intellectual property rights, including rights granted by U.S. copyright law. unWired provides an independent method for copyright owners to communicate information about alleged infringements to us, and for us to inform our Customers about them. Customers may receive alerts if your Service account is identified by a copyright owner as having been used in connection with acts of alleged copyright infringement.

1. What is unWired’s DMCA Notification Policy?

   Owners of copyrighted works who believe that their rights under U.S. copyright law have been infringed may take advantage of certain provisions of the DMCA to report alleged infringements. It is unWired’s policy in accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws to reserve the right to terminate the Service provided to any customer or user who is either found to infringe third party copyright or other intellectual property rights, including repeat infringers, or who unWired, in its sole discretion, believes is infringing these rights. Grounds for removal or termination include but are not limited to deleting or altering author attributes, copyright notices or other copyright management information unless expressly permitted in writing by the author or owner. unWired may terminate the Service at any time with or without notice for any affected customer or user.

2. Report Alleged Infringements to unWired under the DMCA

   Copyright owners may report alleged infringements of their works that are stored on the Service or the Personal Web Features by sending unWired’s authorized agent a notification of claimed infringement that satisfies the requirements of the DMCA. Upon unWired’s receipt of a satisfactory notice of claimed infringement for these works, unWired will respond expeditiously to either directly or indirectly (i) remove the allegedly infringing work(s) stored on the Service or the Personal Web Features or (ii) disable access to the work(s). unWired will also notify the affected customer or user of the Service of the removal or disabling of access to the work(s).

   Copyright owners may send unWired a notification of claimed infringement to report alleged infringements of their works under the DMCA (but not the Copyright Alerts System) to:

   Name/Title of Designated Agent: Director of Network Operations

   Director of Network Operations: unWired Broadband LLC

   Email Address: abuse@getunwired.com

   Copyright owners may use their own notification of claimed infringement form that satisfies the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act. Under the DMCA, anyone who knowingly makes misrepresentations regarding alleged copyright infringement may be liable to unWired, the alleged infringer, and the affected copyright owner for any damages incurred in connection with the removal, blocking, or replacement of allegedly infringing material.

3. Repeat Infringer Policy

   Under certain circumstances we will terminate the privileges, account(s) and/or membership of Customers that are repeat infringers. A person does not have to be found guilty of copyright infringement in a court to be deemed a repeat infringer. We will review the circumstances of each situation and the decision to terminate will be at the sole discretion of our Designated Agent based on the frequency and number of complaints against that Customer. Generally, we will terminate a Customer’s account, membership, or subscription when that Customer has been notified for three (3) complaints/violations over a period of four (4) months but no more than four (4) notices over a period of twelve (12) months. However, we reserve the right to terminate a Customer at any time as we deem appropriate based on the circumstances of the Customer’s actions. A complaint/violation will not be assessed against the Customer if the Customer has filed a counter-notice of infringement, and there are no further legal actions from the copyright owner or owner’s agent.

   Each Customer understands, acknowledges, and agrees that if his or her account, membership or subscription is terminated pursuant to this DMCA Notification Policy, the Customer will not attempt to establish a new account, membership, or subscription under any name, real or assumed. The Customer further understands, acknowledges, and agrees that by opening a new account, membership, or subscription after being terminated pursuant to this DMCA Notification Policy, he/she will have violated this DMCA Notification Policy and MSA and shall indemnify and hold unWired harmless for any and all liability that we may incur.

4. Counter-Notifications

   If you receive a DMCA notification of alleged infringement as described above, and you believe in good faith that the allegedly infringing works have been removed or blocked by mistake or misidentification, then you may send a counter notification to unWired. Upon unWired’s receipt of a counter notification that satisfies the requirements of the DMCA, unWired will provide a copy of the counter notification to the person who sent the original notification of claimed infringement and will follow the DMCA’s procedures with respect to a received counter notification. In all events, you expressly agree that unWired will not be a party to any disputes or lawsuits regarding alleged copyright infringement.

   If a notification of claimed infringement has been filed against you, you can file a counter notification with unWired’s designated agent using the contact information shown above. All counter notifications must satisfy the requirements of Section 512(g)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act.
