The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern the relationship between Pacific Admin and Management Services, LLC (“PAMS”), its principals, partners, clients, associates, supervisors, employees, directors, shareholders, agents, and assigns affiliates, and/or subsidiaries (collectively "Provider") for the benefit of a subscribing tenant of a PIP, Inc/sfrent.net, LLC managed property ("User"). Provider provides its Internet access services, as they may exist from time to time ("Services") to certain qualified Users who establish an Internet account with Provider. By establishing an Internet account or using any software provided, developed, licensed or owned by Provider (the "Software"), User agrees to be bound by this Agreement and to use the Services in compliance with this Agreement and other Provider policies posted on Provider web site.
Subscription Requirements
Users must be at least 18 years old, and must be a qualified tenant of a property managed by PIP, Inc./sfrent.net, LLC, which are authorized agents of Provider. User’s identification and contact information must fully match the authenticating information on record at PIP, Inc.sfrent.net, LLC. Access points or enabled venues may not be available in all areas. Only individuals authorized by Provider or Provider’s agent will be eligible for Internet account access. Any other persons must get express written authorization from Provider. During the testing phase, users will not be charged a fee for Services or be charged nominal fees at Provider’s sole discretion; however, at the conclusion of the testing phase Provider may charge a fee for the Services. Provider shall not be obligated to provide notice of the conclusion of the test phase to User.
Payment Obligations of User
Users will be required to (1) provide Provider and Provider’s Agent with accurate and complete personal information including legal name, e-mail address, physical address, telephone numbers and credit card/billing information, and (2) report separately to Provider and Provider’s Agent all changes to all information in (1) above within 30 days of the change.
Users having questions regarding an internet account should contact
If a User becomes delinquent on any other accounts it has with Provider or other Provider Affiliated company, the User’s internet account may be suspended or canceled at Provider's sole discretion, without refund of unused pro-rata portions.
User's Internet Account, Password and Security
Upon registration, User will receive a username and password. User is the only authorized User of User’s Provider internet account and User must comply with this Agreement. User should keep User’s password confidential so that no one else may access the Services through User’s internet account. User must notify Provider immediately upon discovering any unauthorized use of User’s internet account. In case of any unauthorized use, the account will be canceled without prior notice and any fees paid will be forfeited.
User agrees to log off if the wifi access is not actively in use. User agrees not to use any automatic method to avoid inactivity disconnect or to otherwise maintain a connection unless actively using it. User also agrees not to provide any public information services over a wireless LAN connection, or use this account for commercial purposes. This WiFi access is designed for typical email and web-surfing use, and not for media-rich applications, which will unreasonably burden the broadband capacity available to other users. Provider reserves the right to limit upload and download speeds and capacity to Users without prior notice.
User names and passwords are Provider's property and Provider may alter or replace them at any time.
Monitoring the Services
Provider has no obligation to monitor the Services, but may do so and may disclose information regarding use of the Services for any reason if Provider, in its sole discretion, believes that in doing so it will be complying with local, state, or federal laws or administrative regulations, or will be complying with any other legitimate governmental purpose, or to operate the Services properly, or to protect itself and/or its Users.
