Also Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that he/she is entitled to log in one dial-up modem to TCP/IP connection. The use of auto-redial to maintain connection is prohibited.
The Internet service has been engineered and designed with one (1) modem for each of five (5) users on the system. Industry standard is one (1) modem for every twenty (20) users for the large system providers and twelve (12) to fifteen (15) to one (1) for small internet providers. SCSI is offering a system, which has been designed and engineered to exceed all prevailing Internet industry standards and offerings, which will allow a minimum of 20 simultaneous sessions for each 100 users. SCSI sternly prohibits the posting of substantially similar messages commonly known as “SPAM”.
Subscriber agrees that commercial posting to non-commercial news groups or postings which are directed to either inappropriate, unrelated or groups comprised of more than twenty (20) entities is prohibited. Bulk mail through SCSI’s system to more than 100 users is not permitted. Subscribers sending e-mail with more than five recipients must run consecutive mail delivery programs. Concurrent mailing to more than five recipients and unsolicited mailing to multiple recipients is strictly prohibited. As a courtesy, SCSI may offer software, which is “shareware”.

The Internet service is provided for data communication and associated functions only. Services which provide voice communications over the Internet system, are strictly forbidden. SCSI reserves the right to block access to voice network services through the Internet service offering.
If at any time, SCSI determines that a Subscriber has violated the provisions of this Agreement, or has failed to pay service charges as scheduled, Subscriber agrees that his/her service may be terminated with or without notice.
The system for the Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, has been engineered, designed, installed and priced to serve a minimum base of 600 users. SCSI and the Navy will review the offering every six months to monitor the size of user base and if the base drops below 600, SCSI reserves the right to negotiate the monthly price accordingly.
Subscriber agrees that this AIUP may be revised updated and/or modified as required by the Internet and/or ISP policies. Subscribers will be given thirty (30) days written notice of any proposed revision, updates and/or modifications.
