Account Information

Outpost 10F offers web accounts to its membership for a fee. Web accounts feature a web site under the Outpost 10F domain name, web space for storage/development, an email account/mailbox, plus much more. Web accounts are favourable to those wanting to host their own personal web site under the Outpost 10F domain, obtain advertisement through the community, and enjoy friendly and responsive techincal support. A full description of web account features and services are listed in the next section.

Each web account is treated as a fictional "room" or "personnel quarters" in our schematics interface. The schematics interface is a dynamic navigation tool for site content and contains links to community projects, pages, games, and of course, members' web accounts. Placing links to members' web accounts in the schematics ultimately provides a unique theme to our web accounts and works to highlight one's site alongside other Outpost 10F content. To purchase a web account, simply load the schematics interface, click on the personnel room you wish to rent, and then follow the instructions provided. It is recommended however that prior to purchase, one read the following document.

OUTPOST 10F

Agreement for Services
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outpost 10F ("Outpost 10F") is providing the Internet services ("Services") to you (the "Subscriber") on the basis of the Terms of Service which are set out below.  By subscribing to and using the Services, Subscriber indicates agreement to be bound by all of the Terms of Service.  The Terms of Service constitute the complete agreement between Outpost 10F and Subscriber, and replace any prior understandings and agreements.

Outpost 10F reserves the right to change the Terms of the Services or modify the Services from time to time on notification to Subscriber, by posting the changes on the account holders mail list or through other notification.  Subscriber agrees to either be bound by the changes to the Terms of Service, or to terminate use of the Services if the changes are not acceptable and a legitimate reason provided to Outpost 10F.

Subscriber may request changes in the Services plan types offered by Outpost 10F, and the Terms of Service shall be amended to reflect such plan change, only upon written notification from Outpost 10F of acceptance of plan changes.

Outpost 10F does not warrant that the available technical support number will be a local call from Subscriber's area code and exchange.
