USOL.com's Year 2000 Statement

USOL.com believes that addressing the Year 2000 issue is an integral part of providing the best possible online experience for our members and business partners, which has always been our number one priority.

USOL.com has created a Year 2000 Task Force to assess the Company's Y2K preparedness and to test all of its business and information systems.

USOL.com's network is highly complex and relies on third party hardware and software. Thus, although USOL.com has undertaken the Year 2000 Project to reduce the likelihood that its service will be adversely affected by the date change to the Year 2000, there can be no guarantee that services will not be disrupted.

Our Year 2000 Task Force will continue its efforts to prevent the millennium date change from causing any significant interruption in critical services or negative impact to our members' online experience.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Year 2000 readiness is a complex issue, and the ultimate performance of a system or application may depend upon readiness by other carriers or entities over whom USOL.com, a division of Avalon Systems, Inc., has no control. No express or implied representation(s) or warranties are intended or implied by this web site, and any express or implied warranties are hereby disclaimed to the maximum extent permitted by law. This web site is USOL.com's communication of the status of our efforts at Year 2000 readiness to the best of our ability, but the material presented here is subject to change without notice and it is not intended to induce reliance of any kind. In addition, any remedy for an outage, impairment or interruption of service arising from a Year 2000 problem shall be no different than the remedy available for an outage, impairment or interruption of service resulting from any other cause, and where applicable is limited to the scope of remedies provided under applicable agreements.
