Our Intent
This document provides a general understanding of Kalona Cooperative Telephone
Company’s policy on KCTC Internet services. Common sense and judgement are a necessary
part of any system of rules, and this guideline is no exception. Of course, flagrant
or repeated violations of this policy are viewed in a very different light than
minor infractions.
Protection of our customers and our resources, the ability to
provide quality service to our customers, conformance with existing law, and the
protection of our reputation as a service provider are all contributing factors
to decisions on violation of this TOS.
Kalona Cooperative Telephone Company does not monitor the activity
of accounts except for measurements of system utilization and billing records.
However, in our efforts to promote good citizenship within the Internet community,
if we become aware of inappropriate use of KCTC Internet services, we will respond.
If a KCTC Internet account is used to violate the TOS or User Agreement, we reserve
the right to terminate service without notice. Our preferred course of action
would be to advise the account owner of the inappropriate behavior and corrective
action necessary. However, flagrant violations of the TOS will result in immediate
termination of service.
In the event that an account is temporarily inactivated as a
result of any prohibited activities, the account may be subject to reactivation
charges and/or deposit requirements to be determined by Kalona Cooperative Telephone
Company.
