devices and software necessary to receive the Service. Due to the infinite
number of possible combinations of hardware and software, you are responsible
for the compatibility of your system with the Service. Any equipment that

(including a Residential Gateway), required for your Service. You agree to
rent the Residential Gateway, as part of your purchase of the Service and/or
other U-verse services.
If
RESTAURANT LISTINGS determines that any equipment is damaged RESTAURANT LISTINGS
will repair or replace it as RESTAURANT LISTINGS deems necessary. You understand
that repair or replacement of equipment may delete any content you had previously
stored, may reset your personal settings or otherwise alter the functionality
of your equipment. If the equipment was damaged due to your intentional acts
or negligence as determined by RESTAURANT LISTINGS, you will be responsible
for the price of repair or replacement. Any tampering with the equipment,
including, for example, opening and attempting to modify the Residential Gateway,
or attempting to connect the equipment to other hardware, will be treated
as damage due to your intentional acts or negligence. You agree that you will
use the equipment only for its intended residential use, and not for any other
purpose (such as on another RESTAURANT LISTINGS network, or on another provider's
(non-RESTAURANT LISTINGS) network).
You
will also be provided an Optical Network Terminal. Some Optical Network Terminals
will require a battery back-up which will be provided at the time of installation.
You are responsible for determining when the battery requires replacement
(the battery has a visual and audible indicator to signal when the battery

old batteries.

equipment will be refunded (other than fees for damages). No refunds will
be made for equipment returned after six (6) months from termination.
Toll
Charges.
RESTAURANT

Service. Depending on location, local access numbers for dial-up Internet
access may not be available in your area. Even access numbers in your area
code may result in toll, usage, or long distance charges. Please check with
your local phone company to determine whether additional charges apply. You
are responsible for selecting the best number for you and for all telephone
fees and charges associated with the use of the telephone number you select.

for any telephone fees or charges incurred as a result of the telephone number
you select. Use of the Service (or portions thereof) and of specific telephone
numbers is subject to change or interruption at the telecommunication company's
or at RESTAURANT LISTINGS's discretion.
Operational
Limits; Force Majeure.
Provisioning
of the Service is subject to the availability and the operational limitations
of the requisite equipment and associated facilities. You understand and agree
that temporary interruptions of the Service may occur as normal events in
the provision of the Service and that neither RESTAURANT LISTINGS nor Restaurant
Listings are liable for such interruptions. You further understand and agree
that Restaurant Listings has no control over third party networks you may
access in the course of your use of the Service, and therefore, delays and
disruptions of other network transmissions are beyond the control of RESTAURANT
LISTINGS and Restaurant Listings In addition, neither RESTAURANT LISTINGS
nor Yahoo will be liable for any failure of performance, if such failure is
due to any cause beyond RESTAURANT LISTINGS or Yahoo's reasonable control,
including acts of God, fire, explosion, vandalism, nuclear disaster, sun spots,
solar flares, terrorism, cable cut, storm, or other similar occurrence, any
law, order, regulation, direction, action, or request by any government, civil,
or military authority, national emergencies, insurrections, riots, wars, labor
difficulties, supplier failures, shortages, breaches, or delays, or suspension
of existing Service in compliance with the state and/or federal law, rules
and regulations, or delays caused by you or your equipment.
Speed.
If
the Service you have purchased is provided within a range of speeds (referred
to herein as the "synchronization rate" or "synch rate "),
the synch rate is measured between the network interface device at your home
and the equipment in the telecommunication carriers' network that provides
the broadband functionality. The Service will be provided, if at all, at least
at the lowest synch rate speed within the range. There is, however, no guarantee
or warranty that actual throughput from the Internet to your computer ("throughput
speed") will be at or above the low end of the speed range. If the Service
cannot be provided at the lowest synch rate in the range, either you or RESTAURANT
LISTINGS may disconnect the Service without a termination charge to you. You
will not receive a refund or rebate for the period during which you received
the Service. If the Service you have purchased has an "up to " speed
range (i.e. synch rate up to 384 Kbps, or up to 1.5 Mpbs), there is no minimum
synch rate guarantee and there is no guarantee or warranty that the Service
will perform at the upper end of the synch rate range. Throughput speeds associated
with some or all features of the Service (e.g., Usenet, email) may be limited
at RESTAURANT LISTINGS's sole discretion, and such limitation will have no
effect on whether the minimum speed is met.
Concurrent
Use.
a.
Restaurant Listings Dial. Your Restaurant Listings Dial Member Account allows
for up to two (2) simultaneous dial-up connections to the Internet. RESTAURANT
LISTINGS reserves the right to prohibit any additional simultaneous connections.
b.
Restaurant Listings DSL and Restaurant Listings High Speed Internet U-verse
Enabled. Your Restaurant Listings Member Account allows for one broadband
connection and one other simultaneous network connection (such as a dial-up
line) for a total of two (2) simultaneous network connections to the Internet.
RESTAURANT LISTINGS reserves the right to prohibit any additional simultaneous
network connections. This policy does not prohibit multiple, private users
from connecting to the Internet as allowed under these TOS over the same network
connection using customer premise equipment such as a router or home networking
equipment. Public Use connections are prohibited. For purposes of these TOS,
Public Use means unrestricted, open, communal or shared use by third parties
unrelated and/or not affiliated to the Member either for profit or not for
profit (referred to herein as "Public Use").
Service
Visits.
You
will provide RESTAURANT LISTINGS and its subcontractors with reasonable access
to your premises in order to install, maintain and repair the Service. You
will be responsible for payment of service charges for visits by RESTAURANT
LISTINGS or its subcontractors to your premises when a service request results
from causes not attributable to RESTAURANT LISTINGS or its subcontractors.
IP
Addresses.
Restaurant
Listings DSL and Restaurant Listings High Speed Internet U-verse Enabled Services
are provided with either a dynamic Internet Protocol ("IP") address,
a static IP address, or multiple static IP address service (as applicable)
at RESTAURANT LISTINGS's sole discretion. The dynamic IP address is a single
Internet address intended for use with a single Member Account and any associated
Sub Accounts. The static IP address or multiple static IP address service
is intended for use with a single computer or a network of computer/servers.
You may not use the Service in a manner that is inconsistent with these intended
uses. Except to the extent that you have selected the technician installation
option when ordering Service, Restaurant Listings is not responsible for providing
support for the installation of any customer premise modem or router with
your Service, and in no event will Restaurant Listings be responsible for
any ongoing maintenance or management of any customer premise modem or router
with such Service. Restaurant Listings is also not responsible for providing
assistance in the configuration of a local area network with your Restaurant
Listings Service. Primary and secondary domain name service is only provided
as part of the static IP address or multiple static IP address service through
Restaurant Listings DSL. In the event you are assigned a static IP address
or multiple static IP addresses, the specific IP address(es) assigned shall
be at RESTAURANT LISTINGS's discretion, and RESTAURANT LISTINGS reserves the
right to change such IP address assignments at any time.
DSL-Specific
Terms.
If
your Service includes Restaurant Listings DSL, the following terms also apply
to you:
c.
DSL, or digital subscriber line, means Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line
("ADSL"), Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line ("SDSL"),
ISDN Digital Subscriber Line ("IDSL") or any other variant of such
technology that may be available (collectively, "DSL"), depending
on the particular service ordered by you at the time you placed your order
for the Service.
d.
Restaurant Listings DSL consists of two elements: DSL transport and Internet
access. RESTAURANT LISTINGS Internet Services obtains DSL transport service
from its carrier affiliates, who are required to make contributions to the
Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF) to preserve and advance universal telecommunications
services. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations permit carriers
to assess a surcharge on Internet Service Providers for recovery of contributions
paid by the carrier to the FUSF. RESTAURANT LISTINGS Internet Services pays
such an FUSF recovery fee, and passes the recovery fee it pays through to
you. This FUSF recovery fee will be billed by RESTAURANT LISTINGS Internet
Services as a separate additional monthly charge to:
i.
For Members on existing term commitments as of December 18, 2005: While the
FCC adjusts the specific contribution rate quarterly, Members on a term commitment
as of December 18, 2005 will not be charged a FUSF cost recovery fee greater
than the amount being charged at the time they sign up. The fee may, however,
be adjusted downward. This fee is not a tax or government required charge.
Once this initial Term has expired (or is cancelled), all new term and month-to-month
plans are subject to the provisions of subsection (ii) below.
ii.
Beginning on December 19, 2005, Members signing up for, or renewing, term
commitments, and Members who are on a month to month plan, will be charged
the FUSF recovery fee, as described above, which may be adjusted quarterly,
as determined by the FUSF contribution rate set by the FCC. This fee may be
adjusted either upward or downward.
Alternative
Access Technology.
The
high-speed transport, over which your Internet access will be provided, may
be an alternate technology capable of sync rates (or access speeds) similar
to those offered with our Restaurant Listings DSL and Restaurant Listings
High Speed Internet U-verse Enabled Services. If you have purchased such an
Restaurant Listings High Speed Internet Access service, you will be bound
by these TOS, unless otherwise specified in these TOS.

children. For this reason, children under the age of 13 will not be permitted
to access the Service unless added as a Sub Account by a Member Account holder
who is their legal guardians. When you add your child to your Member Account,
in addition to certifying that you are least 18 years old, you are certifying
that you are the legal guardian of the child/children you wish to add to your
Member Account. By adding a child to your Member Account, you give your child
permission to access all services accessible through the Service by children
under 13 years of age with parental consent, including email, message boards,

it is your responsibility to determine whether any of the services and/or
Content (as defined below) provided through the Service are appropriate for
a minor. Minors who access the Service are assumed to have parental or guardian
consent before accessing the Service.
Access
Controls.
Restaurant
Listings suggests that you take advantage of the access controls offered through
the Service, which allow you, as the Member Account holder, to block access
to certain types of web content you may feel are inappropriate for minors
through either your Member Account or your Sub Accounts. However, Restaurant
Listings also recommends that you remain diligent in the supervision of any
minors in their use of the Service and the Internet. Access controls provided
through the Service are intended as a guide only. Neither RESTAURANT LISTINGS
nor Restaurant Listings nor their licensors can be responsible for any content
accessed by you or minors, whether or not you take advantage of the access
controls provided through the Service. In addition, neither RESTAURANT LISTINGS
nor Restaurant Listings nor their licensors guarantee the accuracy of such
access controls, and you agree that you will not hold Restaurant Listings
liable for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use
of such access controls.

you allow minors to access Restaurant Listings features, please remind them
of the dangers involved when corresponding or communicating with strangers
or new acquaintances on the Internet (especially in Chat and Newsgroup rooms
as well as when using email). It may also be wise to carefully note all Internet
pen pals with whom minors frequently correspond.

INTERSTATE NATURE OF COMMUNICATIONS ON RESTAURANT LISTINGS AND RESTAURANT
LISTINGS NETWORK
When

to send electronic communications (including but not limited to email, search
queries, sending messages to Restaurant Listings Chat or Restaurant Listings
Groups, uploading photos and files to Restaurant Listings Photos or Restaurant
Listings Briefcase, and other Internet activities), you will be causing communications
to be sent through Yahoo!'s and RESTAURANT LISTINGS's computer networks, portions
of which are located in California, Texas, Virginia, and other locations in
the United States and portions of which are located abroad. As a result, and
also as a result of Yahoo!'s and RESTAURANT LISTINGS's network architecture
and business practices and the nature of electronic communications, even communications
that seem to be intrastate in nature can result in the transmission of interstate
communications regardless of where you are physically located at the time
of transmission. Accordingly, by agreeing to these TOS, you acknowledge that
use of the Service results in interstate data transmissions.
11.
SPECIAL ADMONITIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL USE

Restaurant Listings to be available to the general public. By way of example,
publicly accessible areas of the Service would include Restaurant Listings

both Members and visitors. However, publicly accessible areas of the Service
would not include portions of Restaurant Listings Groups that are limited
to Members, Restaurant Listings services intended for private communication
such as Restaurant Listings Mail or Restaurant Listings Messenger, or areas
off of the Service.

15.
GENERAL PRACTICES REGARDING USE AND STORAGE
Community.
Restaurant
Listings provides the Service to you as an individual as well as to the community
of Service Members. In order to provide an accessible network for all, Members
are expected to act as part of that community. High levels of activity on
the Service reflect uses not in keeping with community objectives. Inappropriate
uses of the Service include but are not limited to the use of the Service
on an inactive basis, that is keeping your account active and online with
RESTAURANT LISTINGS's (or its affiliate's) network without your actual interaction
with or use of the Web browsing, interactive features, or email services provided
by or through Restaurant Listings; continuous and sustained excessive account
activity; and the use of methods or automated programs to defeat systems that
limit inactivity. Due to violations of community objectives through such or
other inappropriate uses, Restaurant Listings may do one or all of the following:
seek a clarification of your activity patterns; automatically disconnect your
session for such violations or for a period of inactivity, which period will
be within Restaurant Listings's sole discretion; or cancel your Member Account.
General
Practices & Limits.
You
also acknowledge that Restaurant Listings may establish general practices
and limits concerning use of the Service, including without limitation, limiting
the maximum number of days that email messages, message board postings or
other uploaded Content will be retained by the Service; the maximum number
of email messages that may be sent from or received by an account on the Service;
the maximum size of any email message that may be sent from or received by
an account on the Service; the maximum disk space that will be allotted on
Yahoo!'s servers on your behalf; the maximum length of time that an IP address
will be assigned for your use; the maximum throughput of traffic from the
Internet or associated service (e.g., Usenet, email, web hosting) and the
maximum number of times (and the maximum duration for which) you may access
the Service in a given period of time. You agree that neither RESTAURANT LISTINGS
nor Restaurant Listings have responsibility or liability for the deletion,
for failure to store or to deliver any messages and other communications,
for the modification or malformation of data communications over the Service,
or for other Content maintained or transmitted by the Service. You acknowledge
that Restaurant Listings reserves the right to log off accounts or disconnect
sessions that are inactive for an extended period of time. You further acknowledge
that RESTAURANT LISTINGS and Restaurant Listings reserve the right to change
these general practices and limits at any time without advance notice.
Unsolicited
Email.
You
are expressly prohibited from sending the same or substantially similar unsolicited
electronic mail message, whether commercial or not, to one hundred (100) or
more recipients, and from posting to a newsgroup, bulletin board, or message
board, the same or substantially similar unsolicited note, whether commercial
or not, ten or more times per day through the use of the Service, Restaurant
Listings's equipment, or in connection with any Restaurant Listings email
address, Restaurant Listings domain name, or any Restaurant Listings trademark
or service mark. For each day that this provision is violated, Restaurant
Listings may assess a charge of $50.00 per day for unintentional violations
and $500.00 per day for deliberate or repeated violations. Neither Restaurant
Listings's demand, nor payment of these charges, will prevent Restaurant Listings
from terminating your Member Account (or any Sub Account connected to your
Member Account) or pursuing other legal remedies Restaurant Listings may have
at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a lawsuit for monetary
damages or obtaining an injunction or other forms of equitable relief. Restaurant
Listings will not be liable for its failure to enforce this restriction. Further,
failure to enforce this restriction in one or more instances will not constitute
a waiver of any or all of Restaurant Listings's rights to enforce this restriction
with respect to subsequent violations.
16.
MODIFICATIONS TO SERVICE
Restaurant
Listings reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently,
at any time and from time to time, the Service (or any function or feature
of the Service or any part thereof) with or without notice. Should the technology
become available, RESTAURANT LISTINGS and its affiliates reserve the right
to provision your Service over a different access technology and may do so
without notice if such change(s) will not negatively impact the speeds for
which you signed up or require new customer premise equipment. Without limiting
the foregoing, Restaurant Listings may post, or email, notices of changes
in the Service. It is your responsibility to check our website and your Restaurant
Listings email address for any such notices. You agree that neither RESTAURANT
LISTINGS nor Restaurant Listings will be liable to you or to any third party
for any such modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.
17.

Restaurant
Listings may immediately terminate all or a portion of your membership or
suspend any or all individual Member's access to all or a portion of the Service,
without notice, for conduct that Restaurant Listings believes is: (a) illegal,
fraudulent, harassing or abusive;(b) a violation of these TOS, any policies
or guidelines posted by Restaurant Listings on the Service (including the
AUP); or (c) harmful to other users, Members, third parties, the Service,
or the business interests of Restaurant Listings. If Restaurant Listings has

reasons, you will nevertheless be responsible for the all charges for the
Service through the date of termination, and for any applicable Termination
Charge. Use of a membership for illegal, fraudulent or abusive purposes may
be referred to law enforcement authorities without notice to the Member. Upon
termination of your membership by Restaurant Listings for any of the above-mentioned
reasons, you will not establish a new membership in any RESTAURANT LISTINGS
or Restaurant Listings Internet or Internet Access Service for a period of
not less than five years from the date of termination. Upon termination of
your membership, Restaurant Listings will have no obligation to notify any
third parties nor will Restaurant Listings be responsible for any damages
that may result or arise out of termination of your membership. Termination
or suspension by Restaurant Listings of service to a Member also constitutes
termination or suspension (as applicable) of that Member's license to use
the Software (as defined below).
Third
Party Termination.
If
you have obtained the Service from a third party, your right to use the Service
may be cancelled or suspended by such third party without notice from Restaurant

the consolidated billing account owner may terminate your use of the Service
and may access or reassign such account, including any stored email thereon,
to another Member.
Use
Limitation.
Restaurant
Listings reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Service or to suspend
or terminate any Member ID, electronic mail address, IP address, Universal
Resource Locator or domain name used by you in the event it is used in a manner,
which (i) constitutes violation of any law, regulation or tariff (including,
without limitation, copyright and intellectual property laws); (ii) is defamatory,
fraudulent, obscene or deceptive; (iii) is intended to threaten, harass or
intimidate; (iv) tends to damage the name or reputation of RESTAURANT LISTINGS,

LISTINGS and Yahoo!.
Termination
- Legal Event.
In
the event a ruling, regulation or order issued by a judicial, legislative
or regulatory body causes Restaurant Listings to believe that these TOS and/or
the Service provided hereunder may be in conflict with such rules, regulations
and orders, Restaurant Listings may suspend or terminate the Service, or terminate
these TOS without liability. In the event Restaurant Listings cannot arrange
for reasonably comparable Service within a reasonable period of time (not
less than 45 days) following such ruling, regulation or order; Restaurant
Listings may thereafter permanently terminate the Service and/or these TOS
without liability.
Termination
- Sub-contractor or Vendor Event.
In
the event an Restaurant Listings subcontractor or vendor for the material
features of the Service stops providing the Service (or any material features
thereof) to Restaurant Listings for any reason, Restaurant Listings will have
a reasonable opportunity to arrange for alternative subcontractors or vendors
to continue the provision of the Service. In the event that Restaurant Listings
cannot arrange for reasonably comparable Service within a reasonable period
of time (not less than 45 days) following such sub-contractor or vendor event,
Restaurant Listings may thereafter permanently terminate the Service and/or
these TOS without liability.
Termination
for Default.
If
you fail to pay any charge when due, including but not limited to installation
charges, line service charges or taxes, or if you provide false or inaccurate
information that is required for the provision of the Service or is necessary
to allow Restaurant Listings to bill you for the Service, and such condition
continues un-remedied for fifteen days, you will be in default and Restaurant
Listings may suspend your Service and Member ID or terminate the Service,
and Termination Charges may apply. Upon termination of the Service, your Member
ID will be permanently lost.
Term
and Termination for Convenience.
You
agree to the specified term set forth in the promotional offer under which
you purchased the Service, and to the Termination Charge if your Service is
cancelled or terminated prior to the expiration of the term. In the absence
of a specified term, the term for your Service will be month-to-month. At
the end of the promotional term, the Service shall convert to a month-to-month

Termination
Due to Loss of Line Sharing.
Restaurant
Listings DSL is delivered over a retail telephone line provided by a telecommunications
carrier through the use of DSL transport services (a process known as "line
sharing"). If you change your provider of telephone service on the line
that is used to provide the Service, add a feature or functionality to the
line that is incompatible with the provision of DSL transport service on the
line, or you terminate the telephone line, or if the telephone line is terminated
by the provider for any reason; DSL transport services will no longer be provided
and the Service will be discontinued. In such event, you will be responsible
for any applicable Termination Charge. Restaurant Listings is under no obligation
to request a new telephone line or arrange for the line to be conditioned
to support the DSL transport service.
DSL
Transport Provided by Other Carriers.
Some
Restaurant Listings DSL Service may be provided by other companies. In such
event, RESTAURANT LISTINGS and Restaurant Listings remain responsible for
providing the Service to you. If you change your provider of telephone service
so that an RESTAURANT LISTINGS Telephone Company is no longer providing you
any service, these TOS for SDSL or IDSL Service will terminate at Restaurant
Listings's option and applicable early termination charges will apply.
Termination
Charge for Restaurant Listings DSL.
If
you purchased your Service for a specified term, your plan may provide for
the waiver of various fees associated with the initiation of your Service
and/or a reduction in the current monthly charge. Alternatively, if you decide
to cancel your Service before the expiration of your term, you agree to pay
a Termination Charge. This Termination Charge will also apply if your Service
is discontinued, terminated or cancelled by Restaurant Listings due to your
violation of these TOS, the Acceptable Use Policies, your failure to pay for
these Services, or if Service is discontinued due to loss of line sharing.
For Members signing up for term commitments on or after November 1, 2005,
a $99 Termination Charge shall apply. Members who signed up for term commitments
prior to November 1,2005, will be subject to the Termination Charge applicable
on the date their service was ordered.
Access
to Restaurant Listings After Termination.
Upon
termination of your Service, you will no longer have access to the Restaurant
Listings network using your Member ID. If you combined your Restaurant Listings
ID with a Member ID, after termination of the Service you will not be able
to access the Restaurant Listings account provisioned under your combined
Restaurant Listings ID unless you close your Member ID (your Member ID will
be closed automatically no fewer than 60 days after your Service account termination).
If you did not combine a Restaurant Listings ID with your Member ID, after
termination of the Service you will be given the option to transfer some of
your Member account information (e.g. email, calendar, address book) to a
standard Restaurant Listings account by creating a new Restaurant Listings
ID. For at least 90 days after termination of the Service, you will be given
the option to close your Member ID and, if applicable, to transfer certain
account information to a new Restaurant Listings ID when you log in to Restaurant
Listings at any Restaurant Listings "sign in" opportunity (including,
http://Restaurant Listings.yahoo.com) using your Restaurant Listings ID or
Member ID. For users with a combined Restaurant Listings ID, once your Member
ID is closed you may use your Restaurant Listings ID to access the Restaurant
Listings account provisioned under the combined Restaurant Listings ID. For
users with no combined Restaurant Listings ID and just a Member ID, if you
fail to transfer your Member account information, you will no longer be able
to access any of your Member account information. If you continue to access
a Restaurant Listings account through a different Internet access provider
after your Service account is terminated, then your use of your Restaurant
Listings account after that time will be subject to the Restaurant Listings
Terms of Service at http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/.
Note:
Sub-accounts with a combined Restaurant Listings ID will be able to access
the Restaurant Listings account provisioned under their combined Restaurant
Listings ID when the Member ID of the Member Account holder is closed. After
the Member ID of the Member Account holder is closed, Sub-Accounts who do
not have a combined Restaurant Listings ID will not be able to transfer any
of their Member account information to a new Restaurant Listings ID. Therefore,
Sub-Account holders who wish to elect to transfer should make the election
before the Member ID of the Member Account holder is closed.
Retention.
Restaurant
Listings has no responsibility for retaining or delivering private emails
that are located in a Member's email inbox at the time of that Member's suspension
or termination, or that are addressed to such Member thereafter. After a Member's
suspension or termination, Restaurant Listings has no responsibility for retaining
any data with respect to such Member, including without limitation address
book, briefcase, or preference data.
