Content Disclaimer:
Cautions and Restrictions. We do not control, nor are we responsible or liable for, data, content, services or products (including software) that you access, download, receive or buy via the Service. We may, but are not obligated to, block information, transmissions or access to certain information, services, products or domains to protect us, our computer network, the public or our users. Therefore, messages and other content may be deleted before delivery. The Internet contains unedited materials, some of which may be offensive to you. We are not a publisher of third-party content accessed through the Service, and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, timeliness or delivery of any opinions, advice, statements, messages, services, graphics, data or any other information provided to or by third parties that is accessible through the Service. You are responsible for paying all fees and charges of third-party vendors whose sites, products or services you access, buy or use via the Service. If you choose to use the Service to access Web sites, services or content, or to purchase products from third parties, your personal information may be available to the third-party provider.

Privacy and Security.
Wireless systems use radio channels to transmit voice and data communications over a complex network. Privacy cannot be guaranteed, and we are not liable to you or any other party for any lack of privacy you experience while using the Service. We have the right, but not the obligation to monitor, intercept and disclose any transmissions over or using our facilities, and to provide account, or use records and related information under certain circumstances (for example, in response to lawful process, orders, subpoenas, or warrants, or to protect our rights, users or property). You acknowledge that the Service is not inherently secure and that wireless communications can be intercepted by equipment and software designed for that purpose. Notwithstanding efforts to enhance security with respect to the Service, we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of these efforts and will not be liable to you or any other party for any lack of security that may result from your use of the Service. You acknowledge that you are responsible for taking precautions and providing the security measures best suited for your situation and intended use of the Service. We strongly encourage and support certain customer-provided security solutions, such as virtual private networks, encryption and personal firewalls, but do not provide these to our users and are not responsible for their effectiveness. You agree to protect your username and password and you are responsible for any usage of your account. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or other security breach.

Severability.
All terms and provisions of these terms and conditions are independent of each other. If any term or provision of these terms and conditions is held to be inapplicable or unenforceable, then: (a) such term or provision shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties to the Agreement with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect; (b) the Agreement will not fail its essential purpose; (c) the balance of the terms and provisions shall remain unaffected and in full force and effect, unless our obligations hereunder are materially impaired, in which event we reserve the right to terminate the Agreement.
