long distance charges being billed to you by a third party even if such number was presented by AEC as an appropriate access number for your 
area.
You are solely responsible for determining whether the access number you are using is subject to any additional charges. It is your responsibility to contact your telephone company to determine whether the access number you select is subject to additional charges. You agree to pay any charges you incur by using a long distance telephone number to connect to AEC, including those that may be billed to you by 
a third party. AEC.NU will not reimburse you for any charges incurred by you as a result of selecting an access number that is subject to 
additional and/or long distance charges.

You agree that AEC.NU may (at its option) accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges and that AEC.NU may delay obtaining authorization from your Designated Account issuer until submission of the accumulated charge (s). This means that accumulated charges may appear on the statement you receive from your designated account issuer. You agree that if you want to see the components of accumulated charges, you will review your statement. You agree to pay all costs incurred in the collection of any delinquent fees due under this Agreement or the enforcement of this Agreement, including attorney fees.

Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal rights or remedies available to AEC.NU. You agree to pay a late charge to AEC.NU on all amounts due but not timely paid. The late charge will be one and one-half percent (1 ?%) (which equals eighteen per cent (18%) per annum) on the total amount due but not paid; but if such rate is in excess of any allowable rate, the late charge will be the maximum rate allowed by law. The late charge will be imposed until all of the overdue amounts are paid, but no late charge will be charged on other late charges.

The amount of e-mail and instant message storage space per member may be limited, therefore some e-mail and instant messages may not be processed due 
to space constraints. You agree that AEC.NU is not responsible or liable for the loss, deletion or failure to store or accept messages or other information. The use of any software that would prohibit AEC.NU's automatic log off system or part thereof from performing as intended is prohibited.
