INTERSTATE NATURE OF COMMUNICATIONS ON JOHNSTOWN LOUNGE AND JOHNSTOWN LOUNGE NETWORK
When you register with the Service, you acknowledge that in using certain services to send electronic communications (including but not limited to email, search queries, sending messages to Johnstown Lounge Chat or Johnstown Lounge Groups, uploading photos and files to Johnstown Lounge Photos or Johnstown Lounge Briefcase, and other Internet activities), you will be causing communications to be sent through Yahoo!'s and JOHNSTOWN LOUNGE's computer networks, portions of which are located in California, Texas, Virginia, and other locations in the United States and portions of which are located abroad. As a result, and also as a result of Yahoo!'s and JOHNSTOWN LOUNGE's network architecture and business practices and the nature of electronic communications, even communications that seem to be intrastate in nature can result in the transmission of interstate communications regardless of where you are physically located at the time of transmission. Accordingly, by agreeing to these TOS, you acknowledge that use of the Service results in interstate data transmissions.

GENERAL PRACTICES REGARDING USE AND STORAGE

Community.
Johnstown Lounge provides the Service to you as an individual as well as to the community of Service Members. In order to provide an accessible network for all, Members are expected to act as part of that community. High levels of activity on the Service reflect uses not in keeping with community objectives. Inappropriate uses of the Service include but are not limited to the use of the Service on an inactive basis, that is keeping your account active and online with JOHNSTOWN LOUNGE's (or its affiliate's) network without your actual interaction with or use of the Web browsing, interactive features, or email services provided by or through Johnstown Lounge; continuous and sustained excessive account activity; and the use of methods or automated programs to defeat systems that limit inactivity. Due to violations of community objectives through such or other inappropriate uses, Johnstown Lounge may do one or all of the following: seek a clarification of your activity patterns; automatically disconnect your session for such violations or for a period of inactivity, which period will be within Johnstown Lounge's sole discretion; or cancel your Member Account.

You are expressly prohibited from sending the same or substantially similar unsolicited electronic mail message, whether commercial or not, to one hundred (100) or more recipients, and from posting to a newsgroup, bulletin board, or message board, the same or substantially similar unsolicited note, whether commercial or not, ten or more times per day through the use of the Service, Johnstown Lounge's equipment, or in connection with any Johnstown Lounge email address, Johnstown Lounge domain name, or any Johnstown Lounge trademark or service mark. For each day that this provision is violated, Johnstown Lounge may assess a charge of $50.00 per day for unintentional violations and $500.00 per day for deliberate or repeated violations. Neither Johnstown Lounge's demand, nor payment of these charges, will prevent Johnstown Lounge from terminating your Member Account (or any Sub Account connected to your Member Account) or pursuing other legal remedies Johnstown Lounge may have at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a lawsuit for monetary damages or obtaining an injunction or other forms of equitable relief. Johnstown Lounge will not be liable for its failure to enforce this restriction. Further, failure to enforce this restriction in one or more instances will not constitute a waiver of any or all of Johnstown Lounge's rights to enforce this restriction with respect to subsequent violations.

It is your responsibility to check our website and your Johnstown Lounge email address for any such notices. You agree that neither JOHNSTOWN LOUNGE nor Johnstown Lounge will be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

Termination Charge for Johnstown Lounge
If you purchased your Service for a specified term, your plan may provide for the waiver of various fees associated with the initiation of your Service and/or a reduction in the current monthly charge. Alternatively, if you decide to cancel your Service before the expiration of your term, you agree to pay a Termination Charge.

For Members signing up for term commitments on or after November 1, 2005, a $99 Termination Charge shall apply. Members who signed up for term commitments prior to November 1,2005, will be subject to the Termination Charge applicable on the date their service was ordered.
Access to Johnstown Lounge After Termination.
Upon termination of your Service, you will no longer have access to the Johnstown Lounge network using your Member ID. If you combined your Johnstown Lounge ID with a Member ID, after termination of the Service you will not be able to access the Johnstown Lounge account provisioned under your combined Johnstown Lounge ID unless you close your Member ID (your Member ID will be closed automatically no fewer than 60 days after your Service account termination). If you did not combine a Johnstown Lounge ID with your Member ID, after termination of the Service you will be given the option to transfer some of your Member account information (e.g. email, calendar, address book) to a standard Johnstown Lounge account by creating a new Johnstown Lounge ID. For at least 90 days after termination of the Service, you will be given the option to close your Member ID and, if applicable, to transfer certain account information to a new Johnstown Lounge ID when you log in to Johnstown Lounge at any Johnstown Lounge "sign in" opportunity (including, http://Johnstown Lounge.yahoo.com) using your Johnstown Lounge ID or Member ID. For users with a combined Johnstown Lounge ID, once your Member ID is closed you may use your Johnstown Lounge ID to access the Johnstown Lounge account provisioned under the combined Johnstown Lounge ID. For users with no combined Johnstown Lounge ID and just a Member ID, if you fail to transfer your Member account information, you will no longer be able to access any of your Member account information. If you continue to access a Johnstown Lounge account through a different Internet access provider after your Service account is terminated, then your use of your Johnstown Lounge account after that time will be subject to the Johnstown Lounge Terms of Service at http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/.
Note: Sub-accounts with a combined Johnstown Lounge ID will be able to access the Johnstown Lounge account provisioned under their combined Johnstown Lounge ID when the Member ID of the Member Account holder is closed. After the Member ID of the Member Account holder is closed, Sub-Accounts who do not have a combined Johnstown Lounge ID will not be able to transfer any of their Member account information to a new Johnstown Lounge ID. Therefore, Sub-Account holders who wish to elect to transfer should make the election before the Member ID of the Member Account holder is closed.
Retention.
Johnstown Lounge has no responsibility for retaining or delivering private emails that are located in a Member's email inbox at the time of that Member's suspension or termination, or that are addressed to such Member thereafter. After a Member's suspension or termination, Johnstown Lounge has no responsibility for retaining any data with respect to such Member, including without limitation address book, briefcase, or preference data.
