The following are the main rules, regulations and conditions of this service.

* All prices and charges referred to exclude Goods and Services Tax, GST.
  10% GST is applicable and will be charged to the total of all bills.

* Cost of subscription is $ 50 +gst per Year.

* Email diversion to any email address can be arranged for free. There
are no volume fees provided that volume is not exessive in our opinion. If
the email address being diverted to is unreliable or rejects any email from
our service we may remove diversion if we deem appropriate, without refund.
So please ensure the receiving email address is continuously reliable.

* No refund for partially unused subscription. Any unused annual
subscription not used within the 1 year period is not refundable if the account
is closed for any reason.

* You should provide 1-2 months notification in writing if you wish to close 
your account. 2 months at the MOST. Do NOT provide longer notification such as
3-12 months as we will not keep track or accept responsibility over two months
for your request. 
You are of course liable for all bills including but not limited to usage and
also any due Subscription up to the time that the account is actually closed.
It is MOST important that you make SURE you ask for WRITTEN confirmation that
we have ACKNOWLEDGED receipt of your request to close your account and
CONFIRMED that we will do so accordingly. In particular, we will NOT provide
any Credit Card debited refund for any closure request received AFTER the due
resubscription date. 
To avoid any possible dispute we recommend you keep our written ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
for future reference. Unsubstantiated disputes waste everyone's time and will
be charged our usual hourly rates for us to handle.

* If you do not want your credit card to be debited for resubscription as and
when your subscription falls due it is ABSOLUTELY VITAL that you advise so in
WRI BEFORE the subscription payment falls due or the debit has been done. We
do NOT do refunds under any circumstances including but not limited to cases
where users fail to explicitly advise us to remove their car details or fail
to explicitly in writing cancel and close their account.
We will be more than happy to provide ACKNOWLEGEMENT IN WRITING which you
should retain for future reference to avoid any arguments or disputes regarding
substantiation of account closure requests.

* It is the customer's responsibility to treat their internet account seriously.
Please ensure you keep adequate funds and advise us advise us of new expiry
dates or changes to save time.

* Billing is normally done by users receiving E-Mail Invoices which they should,
but are not required, to print. Payment can be sent without hard copy of the
E-Mail invoice. But hard copy is preferred. At the very least please include
the invoice reference number or remittance advice portion with your payment 
to make it easier for us to work out who is paying it and what the payment is 
for (Don't laugh ! But a lot of cheques we receive don't have ANY information 
at all with them !). Reissuing and backtracking of invoice and billing 
information is chargeable at our normal hourly service rates (minimum of $36).

* Payment can be made in person, by postal cheque, bank deposit or Visa or
Mastercard credit cards (add 3% for credit cards). Customers can provide
credit card details for automatic billing for convenience.
Credit card authorisation for any one payment on any and all goods 
and services that we provide is also deemed to be authorisation for 
future payments, automatically, as they fall due or become overdue, 
on any or all of the customer's due debts, not just those related to the
internet service but including internet access services, purchase of goods 
and provision of labour services. We reserve the right to debit one or 
several credit cards provided to us from time to time if one card has 
insufficient funds and is declined, to meet all debts in full.

* Payment from the date of the E-Mail invoice is required within 7 days. Non
payment, declined credit card or bounced cheques can result in automatic 
access blockage to the system (nothing personal). So please do avoid late 
payments and bouncy cards and cheques ! It wastes a LOT of time and creates as 
much hassle and additional manual handling for us as what it causes bad 
feelings from you. Late payment or insufficient cheque or cards funds can 
cause embarrassment for both of us and hinders rather than benefits smooth 
running and enjoyment of the service. Keep in mind that the service aims to
run at a VERY low profit margin and therefore necessitates minimal manual 
handling on our part to keep costs down.

* Accounts which become blocked for non payment or late payment or declined
credit cards or bounced cheque etc. will attract an Unblocking/Reconnection
fee of $35. This fee is to help cover the labour time cost in handling overdue
account and is to encourage prompt payment with minimum manual intervention
on our part.

* Subscription to this service does not include the cost of any necessary
software to access or make use of it, such as terminal software, Windows
socket software, Internet browsers such as Firefox etc. It is up to the
user to obtain it if required. Most popular operating systems usually come 
with the necessary software and therefore don't need those often troublesome
software starter kits. We have "hint sheets" which we are happy to
provide to help you configure your system. Phone us for details if required.

* Subscription to this service does not include provision of any hardware
necessary to use the system. The subscriber is responsible for providing
their own terminal equipment and communications link and for ensuring system
compatibility of both their hardware and software.

* Some Shareware and Public Domain utilities, application programs and other
files may be available on this system for users to download. These utilities
often have different licensing and payment conditions and requirements
depending on the personal circumstances of individual users. It is up to the
user to meet their lawful requirements to prevent infringement of copyrights
to those licensing requirements associated with the various downloaded
files. It is essential that you read and comply with any terms and
conditions which may be associated with any downloaded files.

* We do not take responsibility for the suitability or performance for any
purpose of this service or any files downloaded from this service.

* Subscription to this service does not include support either personally or
by telephone in the event that users have problems accessing or using this
service for any reason whatsoever. Some users will find it easy to use this
service, some may not. Depending on your level of expertise. We find virtually
all users problems are problems at their end. Not our's. Users who have any 
kind of problems or difficulties requiring assistance should therefore make 
arrangements to meet their individual support requirements depending on
their level of technical expertise. We feel it would be unfair to charge 
users who don't need a lot of assistance to make up for those that do. As
always, if you have any problems using this service we will be happy to provide 
assistance at our usual service rates. It's what keeps us going. Users are 
welcome to avail themselves of this service to get their systems configured, 
any necessary tutorials, consultation, advice, demonstration etc. to get their 
systems up and running on this service as required by individual circumstances. 
Phone on 9699 8844 to make an appointment. We may provide some free
at our discretion over the phone if we feel you rproblem is quick and easy
to solve. But please do NOT expect or demand free help and consultation to 
get your problems solved.

this service. The subscriber is liable for any and all charges attributable
to that identification name.

* Users who operate a home page are specifically prohibited from using any
copyrighted material. We will not be held responsible for material displayed
on the system by users. We reserve the right to remove home page material 
without notice if such material is in our opinion suspected of being

line with the ongoing standard of our service or possibly offensive to some 
segments of the community. Our judgement will be deemed final in this regard. 
Keep in mind that this is a Christian based system which may not suit all 
users. So keep it legal and keep it clean and all will benefit and be happy.

promote other advertising mediums such as Link Exchange. Which can cause
other services on the internet to advertise themselves on OUR system.
Users are reminded that their free home page facility should not cause
more than a reasonable amount of traffic. All users end up paying for it 
through increased bandwidth cost incurred by us. Homepages which attract 
hundreds of hits per day may be charged commercial volume and traffic rates. 
So please don't waste our bandwidth resources by causing traffic just for the 
sake of it or just to get hits.
