3. The SEV reserves the right to deny membership to or terminate the membership of any person upon the refund of their application fee and the unused portion of any membership fee payment.

4. Subscribers may access the services made available by the SEV. Should those services be unavailable to Subscribers from time to time, for any reason, the unavailability thereof shall not be a breach of this agreement unless it continues without interruption for a period of fourteen (14) days.

5. The SEV reserves the right at any time to impose limitations on Subscriber access to the SEV services to the extent the SEV determines, in its sole discretion, that such limitations are necessary or appropriate.

6. All fees listed on the front of this application already include sales taxes.

7. Termination by the Subscriber of the authority of the SEV to charge Subscriber's MasterCard/Visa account, or failure of the Subscriber to otherwise properly pay for SEV membership, shall result in termination of Subscriber's access to the SEV at the conclusion of the annual membership term for which subscriber has paid.

8. A Subscriber obtaining a personal membership shall receive a personal E-mail address, and, upon request, may obtain additional E-mail addresses for other persons living in the Subscriber's residence. A Subscriber obtaining a business membership shall receive a business E-Mail address, and may obtain up to four additional E-mail addresses for persons employed by the business. The Subscriber may request particular E-mail addresses, but the SEV reserves the right to make the final assignment of E-mail address it deems appropriate. If any minor children living in the Subscriber's residence are assigned E-mail addresses, the SEV reserves the right to disclose the password and anything else necessary to access such addresses to the Subscriber. All E-mail addresses will be published in the SEV online directory to facilitate E-mail communications.

9. The SEV shall select and inform the Subscriber of a password which will permit access to SEV services by the Subscriber. The Subscriber shall not disclose the password to any other person, and is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password.
