All subscribers or customers who use the Services must agree to and must comply with this AUP. Verizon Wireless may remove, block, filter, or restrict by any other means the transmission of any material or use of the Services if Verizon Wireless determines, in its sole discretion, that such transmission or use may be unlawful. Verizon Wireless will cooperate with legal authorities and/or third parties in the investigation of any suspected or alleged crime or civil wrong. In addition, violation of this AUP may result in the suspension or termination of the Services. The following constitute violations of this AUP:

h. Unauthorized access: Using the Services to access, or to attempt to access without authority, the accounts of others, or to penetrate, or attempt to penetrate, security measures of Verizon Wireless' or another entity's computer software or hardware, electronic communications system, or telecommunications system, whether or not the intrusion results in disruption of service or the corruption or loss of data.

l. Network disruptions and unfriendly activity: Using the Services for any activity that adversely affects the ability of other people or systems to use either Verizon Wireless Services or other parties' Internet-based resources. This specifically but without limitation includes excessive consumption of network or system resources whether intentional or unintentional. This also includes "denial of service" (DoS) attacks against another network host or individual user. Interference with or disruption of other network users, network services or network equipment is prohibited.

In addition, you shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Verizon Wireless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including without limitation attorney fees and costs) incurred in connection with all claims, suits, judgments and causes of action for damages arising from your breach of any provision of this Agreement.

Verizon Wireless is under no obligation to monitor your usage, bandwidth, transmissions and content of this Service. However, anyone using this Service agrees that Verizon Wireless may monitor the usage, bandwidth, transmissions and content of the Service periodically to (1) comply with any necessary laws, regulations or other governmental requests; (2) to operate the Service properly or to protect itself, its network and its users. Verizon Wireless reserves the right to modify, reject or eliminate any information residing on or transmitted to its server that it, in its sole discretion, believes is unacceptable or in violation of these terms and conditions.

The failure of Verizon Wireless to enforce this AUP, for whatever reason, shall not be construed as a waiver of any right to do so at any time. You agree that if any portion of this AUP is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed consistent with applicable law as nearly as possible, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect.

Except for trademark and copyright matters governed by the federal laws of the United States, the foregoing provisions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflict of law thereof.

Furthermore, Verizon Wireless has the right to terminate access to or use of the Services as set forth in the Customer Agreement and the BroadbandAccess/NationalAccess Terms and Conditions. All use of the Services is subject to the Customer Agreement and either the Consumer End User License Agreement or Enterprise End User License Agreement, as applicable.
