Access rights mean the right to construct, install, repair, maintain, inspect, replace and remove Service Components and the right to use ancillary equipment space within a building to connect a Customer’s Site to ISP’s network.  Customer must provide ISP with timely information about and access to Customers’ facilities and equipment as ISP reasonably requires in order to provide the Services, subject to reasonable security policies. Customer has the responsibility to furnish any conduit, holes, wireways, wiring, plans, equipment, space, power/utilities and other items as ISP reasonably requires for the Services and to obtain any necessary licenses, permits and consents (including easements and rights-of-way). Sites must be ready for ISP to perform its work according to the agreed upon schedules.  Sites must be free from Hazardous Materials and be reasonably suitable for the Services.  “Hazardous Materials” mean any substance or material capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety or property or whose use, transport, storage, handling, disposal or release is regulated by any law related to pollution, to protection of air, water or soil or to health and safety.

THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR ANY PORTION OF AN UNUSED MONTHLY, QUARTERLY, SEMI-ANNUAL OR ANNUAL PAYMENT UPON CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF THE SERVICES BY EITHER PARTY FOR ANY REASON UNLESS EXPLICITLY DEFINED IN THE SERVICE AGREEMENT.  ISP shall not be responsible for the payment of any telephone or other connected equipment or service charges or taxes incurred by Customer in connection with Customer's utilization of the Services, which such expenses are, and shall remain, the sole liability and responsibility of Customer. Customer acknowledges, covenants and agrees that it shall pay all of ISP's attorneys fees, court costs and expenses of litigation if ISP incurs same in enforcing this Agreement or because Customer has failed to pay any amount due hereunder on or before the due date therefore, whether or not litigation is actually commenced.
  4. Late Payment Fee Assessment —

All such rights and remedies are intended to be cumulative, and the use of any one right or remedy by ISP shall not preclude or waive its right to use all other rights and remedies.

    (e) ISP may discontinue service at any time without reason at its sole discretion. Any derogatory, inflammatory, or other type of posts on any public forum, social network, etc. that ISP believes will have a negative impact on the company or any of its affiliates will be grounds for immediate termination of service with no refund.
