Borealis will use such information solely to improve its service offering and will not share such information with other entities unless required to do so by law or court order.

13. CHANGES TO SERVICE

Should the Subscriber’s service requirements or bandwidth usage exceed the limits or guidelines for the class of service purchased, then Borealis reserves the right to adjust the service plan and pricing accordingly, with prior notice to the Subscriber.

Example 1: If a Subscriber purchases a STANDARD service plan, which is subject to oversell, but then utilizes the bandwidth continuously, thereby eliminating the oversell capability, then Borealis reserves the right to change the Subscriber’s service plan and pricing to the equivalent PREMIUM service. See the service plan descriptions for more details.

Example 2: If a Subscriber purchases a STANDARD service plan, but then resells the bandwidth to other individuals or businesses, then Borealis reserves the right to change the Subscriber’s service plan and pricing to the equivalent PREMIUM service. See the service plan descriptions for more details.

In any case, the Subscriber will receive prior notification of any change in Subscriber’s service plan. Subscriber will have the opportunity to either (1) correct the service plan violation or (2) approve the service plan change or (3) terminate this contract according to the TERMINATION AND EXPIRATION provision of this agreement.

14. TERMINATION AND EXPIRATION

Either party may terminate this contract with 30 days advanced notice to the other party unless one or more violations of any provision in this contract have occurred, in which case the termination guidelines in the corresponding provision(s) of this agreement will prevail along with the following:

If the Subscriber terminates this agreement before the scheduled termination date, then the Subscriber will be liable for 50% of the remaining payments from the actual termination date to the scheduled termination date of this agreement.

If Borealis terminates this agreement because of an uncorrected Subscriber violation of any of the provisions in this agreement, then the Subscriber will be liable for 50% of the remaining payments from the actual termination date to the scheduled termination date of this agreement.

If Borealis terminates this agreement while the Subscriber is in good standing and is not due to any violations in the provisions of this agreement, then the Subscriber is liable for none of the remaining balance of payments to the scheduled termination date of this agreement.

15. LIMITED WARRANTY
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED BY BOREALIS "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. BOREALIS DOES NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED USE OF THE SERVICE. BOREALIS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY DATA OR ANY FILES SENT BY OR TO SUBSCRIBER WILL BE TRANSMITTED IN UNCORRUPTED FORM OR WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR MERCHANTABILITY ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

16. LIABILITIES
You should be aware that there may be some Content on the Internet or otherwise available through the Service that may be offensive to some individuals, or that may not be in compliance with all local laws, regulations and other rules. Borealis assumes no responsibility for the Content contained on the Internet or otherwise available through the Service. All Content accessed by you though the Service is accessed and used by you at your own risk, and Borealis and each of its respective affiliates, subcontractors, employees and agents, shall have no liability whatsoever for any claims, losses, actions, damages, suits or proceedings arising out of or otherwise relating to access to such Content by you. Content questions or complaints should be addressed to the content provider. Borealis specifically disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy, quality and confidentiality of information obtained through the Service.

a. Eavesdropping. Borealis' transmission facilities are used by numerous Service subscribers. Because of this, there is a risk that you could be subject to "eavesdropping." This means that other Service subscribers may be able to access and/or monitor your use of the Service. This risk of eavesdropping exists not only with wired or wireless transmission facilities, but also on the Internet and other services to which access is provided by Borealis as part of the Service. Because of this risk, any sensitive or confidential information (such as credit card numbers or other personal information, financial information, medical information or trade secrets) sent by you is sent at your sole risk and Borealis shall have no liability whatsoever for any claims, losses, actions, damages, suits or proceedings arising out of or otherwise relating to such actions by you.

b. Server Setup. You should be aware that when using the Service to access the Internet or any other online service, there are certain applications, such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server and HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) server, which may be used to allow other Service users and Internet users to gain access to your computer. If you choose to run such applications, you should take the appropriate security measures. Neither Borealis nor any of its respective affiliates, subcontractors, employees or agents shall have any liability whatsoever for any claims, losses, actions, damages, suits or proceedings resulting from, arising out of or otherwise relating to the use of such applications by you, including, without limitation, damages resulting from others accessing your computer.

17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, neither Borealis nor any of its respective affiliates, subcontractors, employees or agents, will be liable to you or to any third party for:

a. any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential losses or damages, including loss of profits, loss of earnings, loss of business opportunities and personal injuries (including death), resulting directly or indirectly out of, or otherwise arising in connection with, the use of the Service by you including, without limitation, any damage resulting from or arising out of your reliance on or use of the Service, or the mistakes, omissions, interruptions, deletion of files, errors, defects, delays in operation, non-deliveries, misdeliveries, transmission, or any failure of performance of the Service; and

b. any losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or costs (including legal fees) resulting directly or indirectly out of, or otherwise arising in connection with any allegation, claim, suit or other proceeding based upon a contention that the use of the Service by you on a third party infringes the copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, confidentiality, privacy, or other intellectual property rights or contractual rights of any third party.

c. The limitations set forth in this Section 17 apply to the acts, omissions, negligence and gross negligence of Borealis and each of its respective affiliates, subcontractors, employees and agents, which, but for this provision, would give rise to a cause of action in contract, tort or any other legal doctrine.

d. Your sole and exclusive remedies under this Agreement are as expressly set out in this Agreement. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so such limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

18. MULTIPLE USERS
You acknowledge that you are executing this Agreement on behalf of all persons who use the Service with your permission or through your access line. You shall have sole responsibility for ensuring that all such other users understand and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You further acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible and liable for any and all breaches of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, whether such breach is the result of use of the Service by you or by any other user of your computer.

19. AMENDMENT

This agreement may not be changed orally, only in writing, by mutual agreement and consent of both parties. Any changes to this agreement will be added as an Appendix to this agreement. Any waiver of any term or condition stated herein shall not operate as a waiver of any such term or condition or as any continuing waiver, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision thereof operate as a waiver of such provision or any provision thereof.

20. NOTICES
Notices may be sent to you either via regular mail or email. Borealis may also provide notices of changes to this Agreement or other matters electronically by displaying notices or links to notices on the Service.

21. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Alaska. You may not bring any claim, suit or proceeding more than one (1) year after the date the cause of action arose.

22. GENERAL
