Tallpath reserves the right to terminate a client's mailing program, whether provided by Tallpath or not, immediately and without notification to client if said list causes a problem, in Tallpath's sole discretion, with the e-mail services of other clients. Tallpath also reserves the right to forbid a client from utilizing any mail-sending program that jeopardizes the mail services of other clients. Due to the consumption of system resources and overloading of the e-mail server, Tallpath forbids the use of Gossamer Links program by any of its clients.

3.2 Intellectual Property. All materials, including but not limited to any computer software (in object code and source code form), data or information developed or provided by Tallpath under this Agreement, and any know-how, methodologies, equipment, or processes used by Tallpath to provide the Services to Client, including, without limitation, all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, any goodwill associated therewith, and any other proprietary rights inherent therein and appurtenant thereto (collectively "Tallpath Materials") shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Tallpath. To the extent, if any, that ownership of the Tallpath Materials does not automatically vest in Tallpath by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, Client hereby transfers and assigns to Tallpath all rights, title and interest which Client may have in and to the Tallpath Materials. Client acknowledges and agrees that Tallpath is in the business of providing Internet access services, and that Tallpath shall have the right to provide services to third parties which are the same or similar to the Services provided to Client, and to use or otherwise exploit any Tallpath Materials in providing such services.

3.3 Proprietary Rights of Client. As between Client and Tallpath, Client Content shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Client, including, without limitation, all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, and any other proprietary rights.

Client will be sent a suspension of Services e-mail which will grant Client fourteen (14) days to make payment.

4.3 Failure of Client to fully pay any fees on or before the Payment Date shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, justifying suspension of the performance of the Services by Tallpath, the immediate removal of all Client Content from the Server and will be sufficient cause for immediate termination of this Agreement by Tallpath. Any such suspension does not relieve Client from paying past due fees plus interest thereon at a rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum allowable rate under applicable law, and in the event of collection enforcement, Client shall be liable for any costs associated with such collection, including, but not limited to, legal costs, attorneys' fees, court costs and collection agency fees.
