1. Intellectual Property
Skymesh respects the intellectual property rights of third parties, including those granted under U.S. copyright laws, and the interests of its subscribers and content providers on the Internet.

Therefore, you may not store material of any type or in any format on, or disseminate such material over Skymesh’s Network in any manner that constitutes an infringement of third party intellectual property rights, including rights granted under U.S. copyright laws.

Skymesh expressly reserves the right to terminate or suspend the Service of any Customer or account holder if Skymesh, in its sole judgment, believes that circumstances relating to the infringement of third party intellectual property rights warrant such action.
