Subscribers will be given access to billing records that support charges for use of the
somebody.net.
- Payment for the services provided to you at
and/or through somebody.net may be made by automatic credit card or check debit and
you hereby authorize Company and its agents to transact such payments on your behalf. You
agree not to report as lost or stolen any credit card which you have used in conjunction
with payment to somebody.net, or as unauthorized any charge by somebody.net, for
any goods or services, including subscription, for which you do not have good reason to
believe is, in fact, lost, stolen or unauthorized. You hereby agree that any such
fraudulent reporting of a lost or stolen credit card used to obtain goods or services from
somebody.net or any fraudulent reporting of an unauthorized charge to
somebody.net on your credit card which has been made by you or anyone under your
authority, at a time when a charge or other obligation for payment for goods and/or
services to somebody.net remains outstanding at the time of such fraudulent
reporting, you shall be liable to somebody.net for liquidated damages of $25,000.00.

- Memberships
obtained from us are for your own personal use. Username sharing is
absolutely forbidden. Any members found to be engaging in username
distribution would be disabled without a notice (well, actually, being
polite, we send a notice!) and no refund would be made. You are free to
use your username from as many computers, places, ip numbers at as many
times as you want. There are no limitations. But if someone else is
using your username, we would know! Our abuse check programs run every
few days.
Please make sure no one else except you is using
your username. If there are others that need to use the service, please
guide them to subscribe to us. Our aim is not to waste our members' money, but is
to provide them a good service. We have been very tolerable to password
abuse in the past but unfortunately it has gone out of hand and we had
to take precautions. Imagine someone paying for one membership and 20
other people using the same username. This is not fair for our paying
members. Besides, and average person consumes a lot of bandwidth so our
profit is only marginal. When abuse starts, we lose money. And when we
lose money, we cannot improve the service. Members participating in
username abuse would be liable for $300.00 abuse surcharge for each
month username abuse occurs.
- Subscription to somebody.net may be
terminated at any time, and without cause, by either Company or Subscriber upon

your SUBSCRIPTION for any reason.
