  1. Network and Bandwidth

WireFree manages its network to deliver the best possible service to all of our customers. This is necessary because high-speed bandwidth and network resources are not unlimited.  Additionally, if we did not manage our network, our customers would be subject to the negative effects of “spam,” viruses, security attacks, network congestion, and other risks and degradations of service.  Additionally, WireFree utilizes other means to protect its customers from illegal or fraudulent activities.  To address these risks, WireFree uses reasonable network management practices with the goal of relieving network congestion and ensuring that all customers have the opportunity to use the Service with the best available results. WireFree uses tools that it considers to be the least disruptive to the customer experience. Customer must comply with all current bandwidth, data storage, and other limitations on the Service.  It is a violation of this Policy to use the Service in excess of these limits.  In these cases, WireFree may, in its sole discretion, notify Customer of excessive use and (i) request Customer to employ corrective or self-limiting actions to comply with this provision; (ii) suspend or terminate Customer’s Service account; or (iii) request that Customer subscribe to a version of the Service for use at higher data consumption levels that align with Customer’s usage patterns.  WireFree’s determination of the data consumption for Service accounts is final. WireFree offers multiple tiers of high speed Services.  Customer acknowledge that each tier or level of WireFree’s high speed Services has limits on the maximum speed at which you may send and receive data at any time, as set forth in the Service Rate Plans.  You understand that the actual speeds you may experience at any time will vary based on a number of factors, including the capabilities of your equipment, internet congestion, the technical properties of the websites, content and applications that you access, and network management tools and techniques employed by WireFree.  Customer agrees that WireFree may use technical means, including but not limited to suspending or reducing the speed of the Services, to ensure compliance with your tier of service and to ensure that WireFree’s high speed Services operates efficiently.   Customer agrees that WireFree may change the bandwidth or other threshold limitation of any tier by amending the Service Rate Plan.  Your continued use of the Services following such a change will constitute your acceptance thereof.

  1. Right to Monitor.

Neither WireFree nor any of its affiliates, suppliers, or agents have any obligation to monitor transmissions made on the Service.  However, WireFree and its affiliates, suppliers, and agents have the right to monitor these transmissions and postings from time to time for violations of this Policy, including for purposes of management of the network and to disclose, block, or remove them in accordance with the WireFree Customer Agreement and any other applicable agreements and policies.  WireFree obtains services from and relies upon many other entities to provide the Service to our Customers.   Where Customer accesses services of other entities through the Service, Customer agrees to and shall abide by the publicized acceptable use policies of such other known entities.  The failure by WireFree or its affiliates to enforce any provision of this Policy at any given point in time shall not be construed as a waiver of any right to do so at any future time thereafter.  Customer agrees that any portion of this Acceptable Use Policy held invalid or unenforceable will as much as possible be construed consistent with the intent and applicable law; the remaining portions of this Acceptable Use Policy will remain in full force and effect.

  1. Revisions to Policy.

WireFree reserves the right to update or modify this Policy at any time and from time to time with or without prior notice.  Continued use of the Service will be deemed acknowledgment and acceptance of this Policy.  Notice of modifications to this Policy may be given by posting such changes to WireFree’s homepage (www.wirefreeus.com)  by email or by conventional mail, and will be effective immediately upon posting or sending.   Customers should regularly visit WireFree’s website and review this Policy to ensure that their activities conform to the most recent version.
