Public Service Internet Accounts

Okanagan.net provides a limited number of specialized Internet accounts to local community services without charge. These accounts are provided at the decision of Okanagan.net's directors, and are provided at their sole discretion. If the accounts are misused, as per the general conditions described for all Okanagan.net, they can be canceled without notice.

These accounts are provided for local organizations or service groups that need web access or web presence, but are unable to fund this service from their limited operating revenues. Often, web presence can be very useful to these groups to get their information out to the community, and to make their services available to more citizens via the net. We are pleased to offer this community service, and hope that it proves beneficial to all Okanagan Valley residents.

If you are interested in obtaining a public service account for your group or service, please send e-mail to support@okanagan.net. We will require a written request outlining your requirement, and confirmation that your group cannot afford to purchase an account.

IMPORTANT!
These accounts are provided without charge, but dial-up access is limited to the hours of 10am and 3pm for free, except as noted for extra evening download times. Hours beyond this, or other overtime, is charged at regular overtime rates.

Okanagan.net General Information
 
IMPORTANT! Okanagan.net sells only annual accounts (some alternate billing plans are available for commercial services), in order to keep user's costs as low as possible, and insure that adequate system resources are always available to support good connectivity. You have a week to evaluate the service, during which time we will provide a full refund of all charges, except for set up fees, if you are dissatisfied for any reason. We do not provide a refund after that period, so please be sure that the annual plan is best for you.

• Customers with Web sites may administer their own web sites, or it can be done for a fee. Site FTP access is provided to clients for their user area ONLY.
• NetFamily and Domained commercial accounts service multiple people with a single billing. Individual Usernames and mailboxes are provided, and one user may be designated as the master user to receive e-mail billing information, and to control access by other users, including specific site lock-outs or access times (for parental control or general office supervision).
• Regardless of account type, if you use more connection time than remains in your account for the month or day, you will be billed overtime charges at the rate of $1.59 per hour. Overtime is billed in 1 minute increments (1/60th of an hour).
• Web site content must comply with the laws of Canada, which incidentally, are considerably more restrictive than in the USA. Your site may NOT include libelous statements, material classified as pornographic (especially child pornography), hate or racist material. You may not post copyrighted software, pirated or cracked copies of software, or material that is clearly the legitimate property of others. Be aware that the RCMP IS regularly prosecuting sites which violate Canadian law. Anyone putting up a web site must sign a statement indicating their acceptance of these restrictions, and their sole responsibility for the web content. Okanagan.net reserves the right to terminate any web site on its server, without notice or compensation, that in its sole judgment, it finds violates either Canadian law or local community standards. You should be guided in your page content by the following analogy: If you can find the material in print at any publicly accessible news stand, or as part of normal corporate sales or product information, it is perfectly acceptable as web content. If it is copyrighted by others, legally restricted, sold only when plastic bagged and sealed from view, or available only at "adult" bookstores, it is NOT acceptable. Please observe these guidelines, to prevent problems for everyone on the server.
• You may not post, publish, reproduce, transmit or otherwise distribute information or material on the Site (a) constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offence or give rise to civil liability; (b) which is protected by copyright, or other intellectual property right or derivative works thereof, without obtaining permission of the copyright holder; (c) otherwise use this Site in a way that is contrary to law or which would adversely impact use of the Site or the Internet by other users including the posting or transmitting of other information or software containing viruses or other disruptive components.
• If you are using free graphics archives or elements provided by others on the web, please be sure you have indicated the correct source of these materials in your page credits as they require, and be aware that you may NOT copyright them yourself. Note that many image types have embedded author ID information.
