services clearly identified as being supplied by Dial-Around, Dial-Around does not operate, control or endorse any
information, products or services on the Internet in any way. Except for Dial-Around -identified information, products
or services, all information, products and services offered through the Service or on the Internet generally are offered
by third parties that are not affiliated with Dial-Around. You also understand that Dial-Around cannot and does not
guarantee or warrant that files available for downloading through the Service will be free of infection or viruses, worms,

limitation warranties of title or non-infringement, or the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular
purpose) with regard to the Service, any merchandise, information or service provided through the Service or on the Internet
generally, and Dial-Around shall not be liable for any cost or damage arising either directly or indirectly from any such
transaction. It is solely your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness and usefulness of all opinions, advice,
services, merchandise and other information provided through the Service or on the Internet generally. Dial-Around does not

from the Service, even if Dial-Around or its authorized representatives have been advised of the possibility of such damages,
or (II) any claim attributable to errors, omissions, or other inaccuracies in the Service and/or materials or information
downloaded through, or hyperlinked from, the Service. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability

limited to the greatest extent permitted by law

directors, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers and any third party information providers to the Service from and against all

provisions directly against you on its own behalf.

for any reason; provided that you may no longer use the Service after you have terminated this Agreement. The provisions of
paragraph 2 (Copyright, Licenses and Idea Submissions), 3 (Use of the Service), 4 (Indemnification), 5 (Third Party Rights)
and 7 (Miscellaneous) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

any such proceedings to be brought or heard in any other location. You consent to jurisdiction in any state or federal court
located in Dade County, Florida in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
Any claim or cause of action you may have with respect to the Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or
cause of action arises or such claim or cause of action is barred Dial-Around's failure to insist upon or enforce strict
performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course
of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provision of this Agreement. Dial-Around may assign
its rights and duties under this Agreement to any party at any time without notice to you.
Exhibit A
Operating Policies. Your participation in on-line communications occurs in real time and is
not edited, censored, or otherwise controlled by Dial-Around. Dial-Around cannot and does not screen content provided by users
of the Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dial-Around reserves the right to monitor content on the Service and to remove
content which Dial-Around, in its sole discretion, determines to be harmful, offensive or otherwise in violation of these
Operating Policies. In order to maintain an informative and valuable service that meets the needs of the users of the Service
and avoids the harm that can result from disseminating statements that are false, malicious, violate the rights of others,
or otherwise harmful, it is necessary to establish the following rules to protect against abuse:
- (a)
- Unless you are participating in an area of the Service that requires or encourages anonymity, use your real name in online
communications. You may not falsify user information provided to Dial-Around or to other users of the Service in connection with
the use of a Dial-Around Service.
- (b)
- You may not post or transmit any message which is libelous, defamatory or which discloses private or personal matters concerning
any person. You may not post or transmit any message, data, image or program which is indecent, obscene or pornographic.
- (c)
- You may not post or transmit any message, data, image or program that would violate the property rights of others, including
unauthorized copyrighted text, images or programs, trade secrets or other confidential proprietary information, and trademarks or
service marks used in an infringing fashion.
- (d)
- You may not interfere with other users use of the Service
- (e)
- You may not post or transmit any file which contains viruses, worms, "Trojan horses" or any other contaminating or destructive features
- (f)
- You may not post or transmit any message which is harmful, threatening, abusive or hateful. It is not the Service's intent to discourage
you from taking controversial positions or expressing vigorously what may be unpopular views; however, Dial-Around reserves the right to
take such action as it deems appropriate in cases where the Service is used to disseminate statements which are deeply and widely offensive
and/or harmful.
- (g)
- You may not post or transmit charity requests, petitions for signatures, chain letters or letters relating to pyramid schemes. You may
not post or transmit any advertising, promotional materials or any other solicitation of other users of the Service for goods or services
except in those areas (e.g., a classified bulletin board) that are designated for such purpose.
- (h)
- You may not send unsolicited mass emailings to ten (10) or more people if such e-mail could reasonably be expected to provoke complaints.
- (i)
- You may not use the facilities and capabilities of the Service to conduct any activity or solicit the performance of any illegal activity or
other activity which infringes the rights of others
- (j)
- You may not engage in any of the foregoing activities by using the service of another provider, but channeling such activities through
a Dial-Around account, re-mailer, or otherwise through a Dial-Around service or using a Dial-Around account as a mail drop for responses.
You may not use the services of another provider for the purpose of facilitating the foregoing activities if such use of another party's
service could reasonably be expected to adversely affect a Dial-Around service.
Dial-Around considers the above practices to constitute abuse of our service and of the recipients of any recipients of any such unsolicited
mailings and/or postings, who often bear the expense. Therefore these practices are prohibited by the terms and conditions of Dial-Around's
User Agreement. Engaging in one or more of these practices will result in termination of the offender's account and/or access to Dial-Around
services.
In addition, Dial-Around reserves the right, where feasible, to implement technical mechanisms which block multiple postings as described above
before they are forwarded or otherwise sent to their intended recipients.
Nothing contained in these Operating Policies shall be construed to limit Dial-Around's actions or remedies in any way with respect to any of
the foregoing activities, and Dial-Around to such activities, including without limitation taking action to recover the costs and expenses of
identifying offenders and removing them from the Dial-Around service, and levying cancellation charges to cover Dial-Around's costs in the event
of disconnection of dedicated access for the causes outlined above. In addition, Dial-Around reserves at all times all rights and remedies
available to it with respect to such activities at law or in equity.
