A much higher quality copy of the entire Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy that Grady Ward has contracted for on October 16, 1997 at the time grady@tidepool.com account was terminated without notice by Eric Wright of Northcoast.com and Tidepool.com as subsidiaries of Internet Ventures, Inc. has been posted to alt.binaries.scientology and alt.binaries.misc on October 20, 1997. This scan includes the incriminating first page which shows that the hyperlink to the freshly-minted Terms of Service at tidepool.com did *not* exist hours *after* the time of termination. If you look at the AUP page at tidepool today: http://www.tidepool.com/html/acceptable_use_policies.html if you compare the .pdf to the web page, you will notice in the first paragraph was changed to add the last sentence to link to the heretofore non-existent "Terms of Service." Now I want to know if Eric Wright and Carol Serve (sur-vey) of Northcoast.com in Eureka, California told Donald Jenke, President of Internet Ventures, Inc. http://www.perki.net/ the truth about the ex post facto contract change? Internet Ventures, Inc. 10850 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 1010 Los Angeles, CA 90024 Voice: (310) 378-5395 Fax: (310) 378-0494 Investor relations: 800-701-7020 One other note: the official date that Internet Ventures, Inc. went public with a Direct Public Offering on the Internet was Friday, October 17, 1997. If Mr. Jenke was told the truth about the breach of contract performed employees of his subsidiary, but then stonewalled Grady Ward, then potential investors and the SEC should be informed about the fraudulent business practices of Tidepool.com and Internet Ventures, Inc. There are plenty of startups to choose from that an investor need not sink money in a organization that breaches contracts with its customers and then tries to cover up its mistake when caught. Grady Ward's account was terminated when several scientologists complained about his postings that they feel insulted them and "slandered" (sic) Helena K. Kobrin, scientology attorney who is pursuing a lawsuit against Grady Ward for his criticism of the unlawful acts of the criminal cult of scientology. BTW the book value of Internet Ventures, Inc. is $0.19 a share, while they are trying to get people to buy the stock at $11.00 a share with a dilution of over $9.00 a share. A speculative investment in the best of times. -- Grady Ward grady@promisecreepers.org +1 707 826 7712 http://209.66.96.19/g/r/grady/ C168 0477 7302 C208 F3AC B8D2 33C5 7FCC 0D52 F028
