SPITWSPOTS RESIDENTIAL services are considered "unlimited bandwidth," meaning SPITwSPOTS does not charge customers based on the amount of data they actually transfer. Residential accounts are meant for attended use by an individual or family. Commercial grade accounts are meant for similar attended use, but by larger groups of users and with the addition of commercial, revenue-generating activities. SPITWSPOTS residential and commercial grade services are not meant for continuous or automated high-volume data transfers.
You acknowledge that your use of a SPITwSPOTS account shall not be deemed to convey any property interest in the resources of SPITwSPOTS, in the login name(s), the email address(s), or any other element of an SPITwSPOTS account. SPITwSPOTS may at its discretion terminate your account at any time, with or without cause, and may thereafter re-issue the login name(s), email address(s) and any other element the account, and may do so in whatever fashion it deems best.

SPITWSPOTS manages its network for the benefit of its users. To maintain the quality and performance of the SPITWSPOTS network, SPITWSPOTS reviews the overall statistics of its user community and identifies those accounts with usage in excess of expected ranges. Normal use and occasional heavy use should not cause usage patterns to exceed the expected range. Activities that involve extended, high-volume continuous data transfer might cause your activity to exceed expected ranges. Examples of such activities might include, but are not limited to: extensive use of peer-to-peer file sharing programs, game hosting applications, or streaming video. The hosting of a server of any kind, including for personal use, is prohibited. If your usage pattern is excessive, you will be notified to either upgrade your service plan or reduce your usage pattern. If you choose neither of these options, SPITWSPOTS reserves the right to terminate your service and/or account.
Pricing for SPITwSPOTS accounts is established separately from these terms and conditions. Your failure to pay for use of a SPITwSPOTS account in accordance with pricing established by SPITwSPOTS shall result in immediate suspension of your account. SPITwSPOTS may, at its sole discretion, require you to pay a deposit to be held by SPITwSPOTS as a guarantee of payment of the charges we require for service. The fact that a deposit has been made does not relieve you of from the requirement to make prompt payment for service, and does not affect SPITwSPOTS’ right to discontinue service for your failure to pay SPITwSPOTS for services you consume.
