2) SERVICE

Jabba Communications Inc., affiliated companies, will provide Subscriber and its Users analog or digital access to the Internet, depending upon the rate plan selected (the “Service”), subject to conditions generally beyond the control of Jabba Communications Inc., including the type and condition of the equipment (personal computer, modem, etc.) of Subscriber and/or its Users. Service may be temporarily unavailable or limited because of capacity limitations and may be temporarily interrupted or curtailed due to equipment modifications, upgrades, relocations, repairs, and similar activities necessary for the proper operation of Service.

In order to provide Subscribers with a quality service and the best possible value, Subscriber agrees that access services are not to be left unattended for extended periods using file sharing applications.
