order to facilitate their contractual relationship the Customer and Mainstay

establish operating guidelines and acceptable standards of use of the
Internet. To
this end the parties agree as follows: Principles

the Internet and its operating principles and procedures. b)

to deny service or access
to other users, and attempts to violate security. c)
Compliance with Laws - The Customer will ensure that its use of the Internet
lies with all applicable federal, state and local law and regulation,
including but not limited to those principles of law which protect against
