X-synergy is concerned with the privacy of on-line communications and Web sites. In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure than other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised. As a matter of prudence, however, X-synergy urges its customers to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. X-synergy cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over X-synergy's facilities.
Customer Responsibility
Customers are required to use the X-synergy network responsibly. This includes respecting the other customers of X-synergy.

In addition, X-synergy may take action against a customer or a customer of such customer because of the activities of such customer. X-synergy anticipates that customers who offer Internet services will cooperate with X-synergy in any corrective or preventive action that X-synergy deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of X-synergy policy and X-synergy reserves the right to take any such action even though such action may affect other customers of the X-synergy customer.
Actions Taken by X-synergy
The failure by a customer to meet or follow any of the TOU is grounds for account deactivation. X-synergy will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of the TOU. X-synergy reserves the sole right to remove any account without prior notice and to refuse service to anyone at any time. Depending on the severity of the violation, X-synergy may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate a customer's account without any refunds offered and/or pursue other civil remedies.
