Accelstream Terms of
Use
By using the Accelstream video messaging services
available at www.Accelstream.com (or such other URL
as Accelstream , LLC (“Accelstream”) may
designate from time to time) (the “Services”),
you (“Customer”) acknowledge and agree
to the following Terms of Use, which are incorporated
by reference into the Subscription Agreement entered
into between you and Accelstream, LLC.
1. License Grant. Customer, (and each employee of Customer
who accesses the Services by means of Customer's account
and an authorized password), subject to all of the terms
and conditions of these Terms of Use, is granted a non-exclusive,
non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access
the Services via the Internet and to use the Services,
in object code form only, solely for internal business
purposes in accordance with any applicable end user documentation.
2. License Restrictions. Customer shall not, directly
or indirectly, (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble
or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying

3. Passwords/Security.
3.1 Passwords. Customer and its users are responsible
for maintaining the confidentiality of all passwords

is used only by the authorized user. Customer is entirely
responsible for any and all activities that occur under
Customer's account. Customer agrees to immediately notify
Accelstream and Reseller of any unauthorized use of Customer's
account (including each password of each user accessing
the Services by means of Customer's account) or any other
breach of security known to Customer. Accelstream and
Reseller shall have no liability for any loss or damage
arising from Customer's failure to comply with these
requirements.
3.2 Security. Accelstream maintains the Services at
a reputable third party Internet service provider and
hosting facility, where they are subject to commercially
reasonable security precautions to prevent unauthorized
access to the Services. Customer acknowledges that, notwithstanding
such security precautions, use of or connection to the
Internet provides the opportunity for unauthorized third
parties to circumvent such precautions and illegally
gain access to the Services and Customer Data (defined
below). accordingly, Accelstream AND RESELLER cannot
and do not guaranty the privacy or security of any customer
data or the authenticity of any information transmitted
over or stored in any system connected to the internet.
4. Customer Support. Customer support is provided by
Accelstream in the form of self-administered help notes
at www.Accelstream.com, email support and a live Internet
chat room. If Customer has purchased Extended Support
through Reseller, Accelstream will also provide Customer
with unlimited telephone support during Accelstream’s
regular business hours.
5. Customer Data. As between Accelstream and Customer,
Customer shall own all data, information or material
that Customer enters into the Services or has entered
on its behalf ("Customer Data"). Except as
permitted in these Terms of Use, Accelstream will not
edit, delete or disclose the contents of Customer Data
unless authorized by the Customer or unless Accelstream
is required to do so by law or in the good faith belief
that such action is necessary to: (1) conform with applicable
laws or comply with legal process served on Accelstream;
(2) protect and defend the rights or property of Accelstream;
or (3) enforce these Terms of Use. Accelstream may provide
user statistical information such as usage or traffic
patterns in aggregate form to third parties, but such
information will not include personally identifying information.
Accelstream may access Customer Data to respond to service
or technical problems with the Services. Customer is
solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity,
legality, reliability, appropriateness and copyright
of all Customer Data, and Accelstream assumes no responsibility
for the deletion, correction, destruction, loss, infringement
or failure of the Services to store any Customer Data.

amount of memory or other computer storage and a maximum
amount of Customer Data that Customer may store, post
or transmit on or through the Services. Customer shall
be responsible for maintaining an archive or back-up
copy of all Customer Data, and Accelstream and Reseller
shall have no liability for any loss of Customer Data,
whether caused by Accelstream or any third party service
provider. Customer acknowledges and agrees that pursuant

to access Customer Data and hereby permits Accelstream
to allow Reseller to access its Data and account.
