In this document, "we" refers to Demon Internet Ltd and "you" refers to the subscriber of the Standard Dial-Up Account.
1. These Conditions of Use apply to the Demon Internet Standard Dial-Up Account, irrespective of the country of issue. They may be revised at any time and without notice at the sole discretion of Demon Internet. The use of a Standard Dial-Up Account is taken to be your agreement to adhere to the current Conditions of Use at any given time.
2. You are required to adhere to these Conditions of Use. You are also required to adhere to the Acceptable Use Policies ("AUPs") that we publish from time to time for those components of the service that you use. If you breach them, we have the right at our sole discretion to suspend or terminate your account without notice or refund, to make an additional charge for the misuse, or to block access to the relevant component of the service.
3. You have subscribed to our service on an annual basis with automatic renewal. We require payment in advance of service, and therefore you must pay for each year of service at the start of that year. If we wish, we may offer you the concession of paying monthly at the start of each month of service. Please note that no invoice or receipt will be sent if you opt for this concession. All products and services are made as a single supply; your account may be suspended or closed if any sum due for a product or service is unpaid or is in arrears.
4. You may cancel the service at any time, provided that you give us notice at least 7 days before the date you wish your service to stop; if a payment falls due during those 7 days, we will still require payment.
5. Except where stated otherwise, you must send us notice in one of
the following ways:
- by post,
- by fax,
- by email from your Dial-Up Account, or
- by email from elsewhere or by telephone, in which case you must quote
your Security Phrase.
We will not accept proof of sending as proof that we have received your
notice. You must ensure that you have received acknowledgement from
us.
6. You may only access the machines and the specific ports listed in the current List of Service Machines. Any other use of Demon Internet equipment is unauthorised and is a criminal offence under current UK Law.

8. Demon Internet reserves the right to suspend or cancel any account at its sole discretion.
9. You are required to keep the contact details that you provided us up to date. We may send notices or other information to you at the address you gave us. We will not pass these details to other companies.
10. We will use our reasonable endeavours to maintain all our services. You will not be eligible for any compensation because you cannot use the service or because of a failure, suspension or withdrawal of all or part of the service. We may change the service at any time.
11. Regardless of anything else in these Conditions of Use, our liability shall not exceed the proportionate amount of your subscription.
