Bee.Net's Right To Terminate Services

Bee.Net reserves the right to terminate any account at its sole discretion.  Although prepayment for services generally allows a Customer to take advantage of prepayment discounts, such prepayment does not constitute a term of service contract.  If an account is terminated for any reason other than a violation of Bee.Net's Acceptable Use Policy, the Customer will receive a prorated refund of nondisputed paid amounts.  

Bee.Net Customers who are found to be in violation of Bee.Net's Acceptable Use Policy are subject to termination of Bee.Net services, with the forfeiture of all fees paid to Bee.Net. The forfeited amount, and, additional charges, if necessary, shall be used to satisfy administrative charges at the rate of $100.00 per hour for time required to deal with third parties who have been impacted by the offending Bee.Net Customer.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The services and software and underlying systems are made available to Bee.Net's Customers "AS IS."  Bee.Net and its suppliers make no warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, regarding the services or software or underlying systems and specifically disclaim the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and against infringement.

Bee.Net's Right to Perform Maintenance Procedures

Bee.Net will normally perform scheduled maintenance during non peak operating hours.  However, Bee.Net reserves the right to perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance of its servers and network as deemed necessary in its sole discretion, and without prior notice.  If a server or servers are expected to be down or unreachable for an extended period of time, Bee.Net will provide status updates on its voicemail system, by replacing the welcome message therewith.
