PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBSCRIBING.
By subscribing to
usenet-uncensored.com I am stating that I have fully read, understood and accepted all
terms and conditions listed in this agreement. If you have any questions about anything

before you subscribe. It is your responsibilty to be able to properly configure a software
news reader program.
The content of all discussion
groups, including without limitation, the descriptions for discussion groups and the
content within a specific article, is provided by and is the responsibility of the creator
of the discussion group or the person posting an article. usenet-uncensored.com has NO
responsibility for such content and is merely a conduit of articles traveling across
Usenet. Usenet in general is a public forum much like the world wide web is available to
the public. usenet-uncensored.com does not control Usenet.
All articles on our servers are
pushed to our servers via our upstream providers, including large international
corporations. usenet-uncensored.com receives millions of articles per day, and it is
impossible for us or any other corporation running a Usenet server to moderate newsgroups.
Currently there are no state or federal laws that require any ISP to moderate Usenet
newsgroups.
By its very nature, Usenet
groups may carry very offensive, harmful, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate material,
or in some cases, postings that have been mislabeled or are otherwise deceptive. We expect
that you will use caution and common sense and exercise proper judgment when using Usenet,
as well as use the service at your own risk.
Again we must emphasize that it
is impossible for us or any other Usenet service to police hundreds of thousands of
articles that pass through our servers everyday. Any article that passes through our
servers is the SOLE RESPONSIBILITY of the person who posted the article or created the
newsgroup.
usenet-uncensored.com does not
produce any content that passes through our servers.
usenet-uncensored.com does not
publish any content that passes through our servers. What we mean when we say publish is
that we DO NOT extract pictures or programs from usenet for redistribution by various
means, such as putting them on CD-ROM or making slide shows or putting them in zip files
for download.
usenet-uncensored.com does
not condone nor support people posting copyrighted or illegal content to Usenet. If you
discover an article that contains any copyrighted or illegal content please contact us
accounts via the contact page. We will then have the offending article removed
IMMEDIATELY, and forward any and all relevant information to the appropriate federal law
enforcement authorities.
The name of a
newsgroup is not illegal in nature and does not necessarily imply inappropriate or illegal
activity. However we encourage customers to exercise caution and discretion when viewing
and posting to all Usenet newsgroups. All content, without limitation, is provided by and
is the responsibility of the person posting the content. We expect all customers to abide
by Usenet etiquette, copyright laws, and civil and criminal laws.

Absolutely no refunds will be

usenet-uncensored.com, will be forwarded to collection agencies for recovery and be
recorded in credit record. Legal action may be commenced. Chargebacks or forced refunds
from your account will also cause you to be listed in an online fraud database. This will
prevent you from using your credit card, or phone number on the internet again with
thousands of companies that use CCBILL. for their online billing. If you were never
assigned a username and password due to an error on the part of usenet-uncensored.com, we
will activate your account and compensate you (with extra time) for any lost time. We will
not issue refunds for any other reason, with the exception of fraud (read below for
details). Even if you do not, or can not access our service because you are unable to
properly configure a software news reader program or any other reason, there are still no
refunds given.
FRAUD
If your credit card or phone
number was fraudulently used to gain access to this service, Email a copy of the Police
Report to us at webmaster@usenet-uncensored.com.
We will have CCBILL. refund the charge and have your credit card or phone number blocked
from anyone ever using it with CCBILL. again. We will provide this information to the FBI
and/or Interpol for substantiation of criminal fraud charges. We take fraud very
seriously, and will press charges, both criminal and civil. Users who commit fraud by
gaining access to our sites and then by what ever means obtains refunds, are committing
fraud against a corporation in interstate commerce.
A Note from our billing
company regarding refunds and fraud claims:
It should be noted that, with
very few exceptions, every credit card refund results in that card number being entered
into CBILL's negative database. This is our in-house record of past problem customers.
Yes, it's possible for a never-before-encountered credit card number to fraudulently buy
from one CCBILLclient... once. After that, the card number is forever blocked from
purchasing anything from any CCBILL client.
Anyone who thinks about
requesting a refund by falsely claiming his card was used fraudulently had better be sure
that he will never again want to use that card on thousands of web sites. Even if the
charge arrived on your statement because someone else used your card (my son did
what???),CCBILL has to assume that if it happened once it might happen again. If someone
unknown to you is placing charges on your credit card, now would be a very good time to
call your credit card issuer, cancel that card number and start over with a new one.
