Lord Mandelson announced plans to
temporarily disconnect the broadband of people who engage in
internet «piracy» after the government's Digital Britain paper proposed to
slow connections for offenders.
However, AAAS will not be liable for damages or refunds should the site become unavailable
temporarily or access to the site becomes
slow or incomplete due to system back - up procedures, regular maintenance (which typically occurs 8 - 10 am Pacific time each Saturday),
Internet traffic volume, upgrades, overload of requests to the servers, general network failures or delays, or any other cause beyond the control of AAAS (including, but not limited to, force majeure events, networking problems, IP address changes) which may from time to time make the site inaccessible for Authorized Users.
