Such usage will result in termination of service.
h. REMOTE PC SUPPORT. ISPN offers a Remote Support Service for our customers whereby customers may request on-line assistance in resolving problems with their personal computers. In order to provide this service, ISPN must be able to log into the customer’s personal computer to diagnose the problem, perform such actions as ISPN believes are necessary to correct the problem, and/or recommend corrective actions to be performed by the customer or by third parties. By requesting Remote PC Support Services from ISPN customer agrees to the following:
i. ISPN shall be authorized to log in to the customer’s personal computer in order to perform such actions as it deems necessary to diagnose the cause and extent of the problem; perform such actions as it believes are necessary to correct the problem; and/or recommend corrective actions to be performed by the customer or by third parties.

Clear Lake Independent Telephone Company does not and will not tolerate any person or company who abuses our services to transmit unsolicited commercial email or unsolicited bulk or spam email from our email servers. In addition, maintaining on open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received, CL Tel has the discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the email recipients were from an “opt-in” email list.
i. Unsolicited Bulk Email, or UBE, is Internet mail (“email”) that is sent to a group of recipients who have not requested it. A mail recipient may have at one time asked a sender for bulk email, but then later asked that sender not to send any more email or otherwise not have indicated a desire for such additional mail; hence any bulk email sent after that request was received is also UBE.
ii. If an unsolicited commercial email or unsolicited bulk email is transmitted by any of our activated Customers, that Customer’s account will be deactivated immediately. The cost of any unused monthly services including the nonrefundable setup fee, as a result of the deactivation, will not be reimbursed.
iii. Potential customers who solely wish to use our ISP service to send out “one-time” unsolicited bulk email should not sign up for our ISP service. To report a spammer on our server, contact cltel@cltel.com.
j. WEB/FTP SITES. Acceptable use of Company’s web/FTP space does NOT include: distribution of illegal pornographic or otherwise indecent or offending materials, distribution of restricted software or materials in violation of copyrights or distribution licenses, or any other illegal activity prohibited herein.
