that may be available on or through the Service (e.g., newsgroups,

reserve the right at their sole discretion to remove any content
that, in ISP's judgment, does not comply with the AUP or is
otherwise harmful, objectionable, or inaccurate. ISP is not
responsible for any failure or delay in removing such content.
In addition, ISP may cooperate with legal
authorities and/or third parties in the investigation of any
suspected or alleged crime or civil wrong. Your violation of this
AUP may result in the suspension or termination of either your
access to the Service and/or your ISP account. You agree to
indemnify, defend, and hold ISP harmless from any claims resulting
from your use of this service, which damages you or another party.
At our sole discretion, we may revoke your access for inappropriate
usage. Use of any information obtained via the Service is at your
own risk. ISP is not responsible for the accuracy, quality, or
content of information obtained through the Service. This AUP should
