current regulatory and technical environment you should not have a high expectation of
privacy in your account. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may
be forced to disclose private email to the government under certain circumstances and
third parties may unlawfully intercept your private e-mail. Therefore, we cannot
ensure that all private email will remain private.

Internet Service Providers follow to prevent abuse. Our services are Unlimited
Access which means you can access the Internet as many time as you want, but not more than
(6) hours at a time.
