The Service.
We are providing you with the Service, subject to this Agreement and the Acceptable Use Policy. By accepting the Service you are entering into this Agreement and you agree to be bound by its terms and the terms of the Acceptable Use Policy. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Provider grants to User a limited, personal, non-transferable, and non-exclusive right to use the Internet service (the “Service”) during the term of this Agreement. The Service provides internet through outdoor antennas we install on your property in line-of-sight with one of our relay stations, fiber links or through other network services offered. User’s use of the Services shall be in accordance with this Agreement and Provider’s Acceptable Use Policy which is made a part of this Agreement. User is responsible for providing and maintaining all computer equipment and software and telecommunications services necessary to access the Service. Nothing in this Agreement grants or transfers to you any ownership rights in the Service, including the software and other intellectual property rights related to the Service.

The Equipment. The “Equipment” means all equipment and devices installed by Provider for the Services including, without limitation, servers, server software, VoIP enabled desktop devices (phones), wiring, POE (Power Over Ethernet) switches, and routers. You may not use the Services with any Equipment other than Equipment approved and received from Provider or retailers approved by Provider. You will own the Equipment (not including the Radio and smart adapter designated CPE by Provider) and bear all the risk of loss, theft, or damage regardless of the payment plan selected for the services. Equipment purchased from Provider will be covered by their respective factory warranties only. Provider does not offer any warranty in addition to, or in replacement of any factory warranties unless specified on an installed project and service plan. Unless expressly authorized to do so by Provider, you shall not tamper with the Equipment, modify its configuration or try to directly access it in any way. You agree not to change the electronic serial number or equipment identifier, or to perform a factory reset of the Equipment without express permission from Provider. Provider reserves the right to terminate your Service should you tamper with the Equipment, leaving you responsible for the full month’s charges to the end of the current term, including without limitation unbilled charges, plus a disconnect fee, all of which immediately become due and payable. You agree not to hack or disrupt the service or to make any use of the Service that is inconsistent with its intended purpose or to attempt to do so. Equipment sold to Customer will not be deemed fixtures in any way part of the premises where they are located. You may not sell, lease or give away the Equipment, or permit any other provider of high-speed internet or telephone services to use the Equipment. YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IF YOU ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR USE THE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES AT A LOCATION OTHER THAN THE PREMISES, THE SERVICES MAY FAIL TO FUNCTION OR MAY FUNCTION IMPROPERLY.

Access to Your Premises and Equipment. We have the right to enter your property to install, maintain, upgrade, repair or replace the Service or the Equipment.  You warrant you are the owner of the property and give us the right to access your property.  If you are not the owner of the property, you are responsible for obtaining any necessary approval from the owner for us to access the property. You agree to allow us and our agents the right to enter your property at which the Service(s) and/or the Equipment will be provided (the “Premises”) at reasonable times, for purposes of installing, configuring, maintaining, inspecting, upgrading, replacing and removing the Service(s) and/or the Equipment used to receive any of the Service(s). You warrant that you are either the owner of the Premises or that you have the authority to give us access to the Premises. If you are not the owner of the Premises, you are responsible for obtaining any necessary approval from the owner to allow us and our agents into the Premises to perform the activities specified above. In addition, you agree to supply us or our agent, if we ask, the owner’s name, address, and phone number and/or evidence that the owner has authorized you to grant access to us and our agents to the Premises.

Service Fees and Taxes.a. Fees. You agree to pay a fee for the Service based on the Plan Description you have signed up for. After the initial term, we may change the rates and fees for the Service. Customer agrees to pay the fee amounts set forth in the applicable Plan Description which is further described in Provider’s Order Form and/or Quote to Customer. Rates will be in effect for the Initial Term and may be changed by Provider thereafter by giving you written or emailed notice of the new rates at least thirty (30) days before their effective date. The basic fee shall be charged to Customer whether Customer uses the Service or not. One-time activation fees and any other installation fees that may apply are specified on the Web site and vary by product and plan chosen. b.  Taxes. You are responsible for all taxes and governmental fees associated with the Service. These fees and taxes are in addition to our service fee under the Payment Plan. Customer is responsible for, and shall pay any applicable federal, state, municipal, local or other governmental sales, use, excise, universal service fees, value-added, personal property, public utility and other taxes, fees and charges now in force or enacted in the future, that arise from or as a result of Customer’s subscription or use or payment for the Service. Such amounts are in addition to payment for the Service and will be billed to you. If Customer is exempt from payment of such taxes, you will provide Provider with an original government-issued certificate attesting to tax-exempt status. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date Provider receives such certificate.

Billing, Payment and Collection. a.  Billing. Our fees for the Service are billed in advance, generally for the following month’s service. Bills for the Service are emailed to an email address you provide to us. We will charge you in advance for each term of service. When you subscribe to the Service, you must give us a valid email address. We reserve the right to stop accepting your payment method or your payments. You must advise us at once if your payment method expires, you close your account, your billing address changes, your email address changes, or your payment method is canceled and replaced on account of loss or theft. Except for usage-based charges, we will bill in advance to your payment method all charges, fees, taxes, and surcharges for each service term. We will bill monthly as due immediately usage-based charges and any other charges which we decide to bill as due immediately. Bills will be posted to the customer portal and emailed to the email address on record. b.  Payment. When you subscribe to the Service, you authorize us to collect from your payment method. This authorization will remain valid until thirty (30) days after you terminate our authority to charge your payment method. YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT ACCOUNT FOR ALL AMOUNTS DUE TO US WITHOUT ADDITIONAL NOTICE OR CONSENT. If Provider does not receive payment from your payment account or its agents, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand. If you make payment by check, you authorize Provider to collect your check electronically. You agree that you may not amend or modify this Agreement with any restrictive endorsements (such as “paid in full”), or other statements or releases on or accompanying checks or other payments accepted by Provider and any such notations shall have no legal effect. c.  Delinquent Account. Our service bills are due upon receipt. If you fail to pay within 7 days, you will be assessed a late fee of 10%. If you fail to pay within 14 days, your service will be disconnected and a reactivation fee will apply. Monthly service invoices are due on receipt. Initial installation invoices are due in 15 days of receipt. All payments will be considered late after seven (7) days and delinquent within fourteen (14) days. If your payment is late, we may charge a late fee of 10% per month for any payment amount that has not been paid in full. IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS DELINQUENT, YOUR SERVICE WILL BE DISCONNECTED. A $25 reactivation fee will apply in addition to the delinquent balance as well as any monthly service charges that became due during a connection suspension. If your account is habitually suspended, the reactivation fee will double each time thereafter. The reactivation fee may be changed by Provider at any time without notice. If your check is returned with insufficient funds to cover the payment, you will be charged a fee to cover our transaction costs, currently set at $40 (but subject to change without notice). Provider does not anticipate that you will fail to pay for the Service(s) on a timely basis, and we do not extend credit to customers. Any fees, charges, and assessments due to late payment or nonpayment are liquidated damages intended to be a reasonable advance estimate of our costs resulting from late payments and non-payments. These costs will be difficult to calculate or to predict when we set such fees, charges, and assessments, because we cannot know in advance: (a) whether you will pay for the Service(s) on a timely basis, if ever; (b) if you do pay late, when you will actually pay; and (c) what costs we will incur because of your late payment or non-payment. d. Collection. Even if we disconnect your Service due to non-payment or late payment, you are still obligated to pay for all fees incurred under this Agreement.  If we are forced to initiate collection proceedings, you will be responsible for all our costs associated with such collection, including our attorney’s fees. If we disconnect the Service, you will remain liable to us for all charges under this Agreement and all the costs we incur to collect these charges, including, without limitation, collection costs and attorney’s fees.  You also agree to pay any additional charges or fees applied to your billing account for any reason, including but not limited to, interest and charges due to insufficient credit. e. Billing Disputes. You must notify us within 60 days if you dispute any charge or fee.  If you fail to object within this timeframe, your objection will be waived. Subject to applicable law, if you intend to dispute a charge or request a billing credit, you must contact Provider within sixty (60) days of the date on the bill. You waive any disputes or credits that you do not report within sixty (60) days. f. No Credit for Interruption of Services. We do not provide credits or refunds for interruptions (even prolonged interruptions) in the Service. The Service is provided on a best-efforts basis. As discussed in this Agreement, there are limitations on the Service and we cannot guarantee, amongst other things, uninterrupted Service. We will not give you credit for any interruption of Service. If you are dissatisfied with the Service, your sole remedy is to terminate this Agreement.

Revision to Terms and Pricing. We may amend or change this Agreement and/or the Acceptable Use Policy at any time without notice. We may also change the pricing for the Service, but only after the Initial Term. We will post these changes to our Website, but we are not otherwise required to notify you of these changes. Your continued use of the Service will indicate your acceptance of any such changes. From time to time, we may revise the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any of the policies incorporated by reference) and the pricing (except during the Initial Term) for the Service. Notice of revisions to the Agreement or pricing will be posted on the Provider’s website (“the Website”) and deemed given and effective on the date posted to the Website. If you do not agree to the revision(s), you must terminate your Service immediately, subject to the Termination provisions provided in this Agreement. By continuing to use the Service after revision(s) are in effect, you thereby accept and agree to all such revisions. Subject to applicable law, we have the right to change our Service(s), Equipment and rates or charges at any time with or without notice. We also may rearrange, delete, add to, or otherwise change programming or features or offerings contained in the Service(s), including, but not limited to, content, functionality, hours of availability, customer equipment requirements, speed, and upstream and downstream rate limitations. If we do give you notice, it may be provided on your monthly bill, as a bill insert, email, in a newspaper or other communication permitted under applicable law. If you find a change in the Service(s) unacceptable, you have the right to cancel your Service(s). However, if you continue to receive Service(s) after the change, this will constitute your acceptance of the change.

Term of Service. a. Initial Term. When you sign up for the Service, it will be for an Initial Term as provided in your Service plan. Provider will provide the Service for the term you have signed up for (“Initial Term”). The Initial Term of this Agreement shall commence upon the date Service is activated or the date we successfully process your payment, whichever is later. If Provider cannot successfully deliver the Service, this Agreement will automatically terminate without penalty or cost. b. Automatic Renewal. After the Initial Term, either you or we may cancel this Agreement at any time on 30 days written notice. Unless canceled, this Agreement will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis. At the end of the Initial Term, Provider will automatically renew the Service on a month-to-month basis (each a “Renewal Term”), unless you cancel the Service before the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal term. After the Initial Term, either party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice.c. Provider’s Right to Disconnect. If you fail to pay your bill, violate the Acceptable Use Policy, or otherwise use the Service in an inappropriate manner, we may disconnect the Service and ultimately terminate this Agreement. We have the right to suspend or discontinue service generally, or to disconnect the Service, at any time. In addition, we reserve the right to immediately disconnect the Service at any time without notice due to non-payment or unlawful or inappropriate use of the Service. If the payment default is not cured or you do not correct the use violation within ten (10) days after Service has been disconnected, we may permanently terminate this Agreement without further notice. For purposes of this section, inappropriate use of the Service occurs if we determine, in our sole discretion that use of the Service: (i) violates the Acceptable Use Policy; (ii) violates any laws, regulations, court orders, or other governmental requests or order which requires immediate action; (iii) violates any intellectual property rights of Provider or a third party; (iv) is disruptive or causes a malfunction of the Service; or (iv) may expose Provider to potential legal liability. All charges owed at the time of disconnection will be immediately payable. We will pursue collection for unpaid amounts on disconnected accounts and may report these unpaid charges to credit bureaus.

Use of Services. The Service is to be used for personal, non-commercial use. The Service may not be used for any unlawful purpose. You agree to comply with our Acceptable Use Policy. You are responsible for any person who uses the Service or Equipment provided to you. a. In General.

You agree and represent that you will not resell or permit another to resell the Service(s) in whole or in part.

Service Limitations. There are limitations on the Service which may affect our ability to either provide the Service or provide the Service at certain speeds. Some of these limitations are beyond our control. By agreeing to accept the Service and by entering into this Agreement, you assume the risk of these limitations. a. Service Disruptions. The Service is not fail-safe and should not be used in situations requiring fail-safe performance. You assume the risk of interruptions in Service. The Service(s) are not fail-safe and are not designed or intended for use in situations requiring fail-safe performance or in which an error or interruption in the Service(s) could lead to severe injury to business, persons, property, or environment (“High Risk Activities”). These High Risk Activities may include, without limitation, vital business, or personal communications, or activities where absolutely accurate data or information is required. You expressly assume the risks of any damages resulting from High Risk Activities. b. Rural Service Provider. We use our best-efforts to provide the Service. However, due to the rural locations of our customers, it is possible the Service may be unavailable, even for prolonged times. We are not responsible for any outages or the unavailability of the Service. Provider operates the Service in rural conditions, and as such the Service could be subject to extended outages that could last days or weeks. The Service is provided on a best-efforts basis but Provider is not responsible for any outages in the Service. No credit or refund will be given in the event of a Service outage. If you are dissatisfied with the Service because of outages, your sole remedy is to terminate this Agreement upon the giving of 30 days prior written notice to Provider. c. Power Outages; Things beyond Provider’s Control. There are things beyond our control which may affect the Service. We are not responsible if the Service is disrupted or unavailable due to things beyond our control. Things and events beyond Provider’s control may affect the Service, such as power outages and fluctuations in the internet. You acknowledge and understand that the Service does not function in the event of power failure. Should there be an interruption in the power supply, the Service will not function until power is restored or the ISP outage is cured. A power failure or disruption may require you to reset or reconfigure equipment prior to utilizing the Service. Power disruptions will also prevent VOIP dialing to emergency service numbers including the 911 calling feature. PROVIDER DOES NOT AND CANNOT GUARANTEE UNINTERRUPTED USABILITY, QUALITY OR CONNECTIVITY OF SERVICES. CUSTOMER MAY EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT, PARTIAL OR COMPLETE INTERRUPTION IN USABILITY, QUALITY OR CONNECTIVITY OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED. d. Speed Claims and Disclaimers. We make no warranty or guarantee about Internet speeds. Internet speed depends on a number of variables beyond our control. Actual internet speeds vary based on the amount of traffic on the Internet, content on a particular website, or by the overall performance and configuration of your computer and/or your local network configuration and performance. Stated speeds and uninterrupted use of service are not guaranteed. Actual speeds will likely be lower than the maximum speeds during peak hours. e. Third Party Products. We are not responsible for any third party products or services which can also cause disruptions or outages in the Service. Provider is not responsible for any third party products or services, or for problems in the Service caused by your third party products or services. Provider will not contact any third party provider on your behalf. f. Suspension or Termination. If we disconnect or terminate your Service, your Service will not function until it is restored (which requires payment of past due fees and other charges). Should Provider suspend or terminate your Service, the Service will not function until such time as Provider restores your Service (which may require payment of all invoices and reconnection fees owed by you or cure of any breach by you of this Agreement). g. Incompatibility with Other Services. The Service may be incompatible with other equipment and services. We are not responsible for such incompatibility and you assume the risk the Service is incompatible with other equipment and services. h. Non-Voice Equipment. You acknowledge and understand that the Service is not compatible with certain other equipment, including but not limited to, some home and office security systems that are set up to make automatic phone calls, emergency phones in elevators, some aspects of satellite TV systems, digital entertainment systems, fax machines, modems and medical monitoring devices. By accepting this Agreement, you waive any claim you may have against Provider for interference with or disruption of such systems due to the Service. ii. Certain Broadband, Cable Modem and Other Services. There may also be other services with which our Service may be incompatible. Some providers of broadband service may provide modems that prevent the transmission of communications using the Service. We do not warrant that the Service will be compatible with all broadband services and expressly disclaim any express or implied warranties regarding the compatibility of the Service with any particular broadband service. i. Security. We do not guarantee the security of the Service or your use of the Internet. The Service utilizes the public internet and third party providers. Provider cannot guarantee the Service is completely secure. j. Eavesdropping. The Internet is a public place used by numerous people. Some of these people may be able to access and/or monitor your use of the Internet. We are not responsible for such eavesdropping and you assume the risk of such eavesdropping. The public Internet is used by numerous persons or entities including, without limitation, other subscribers to Valley Internet. As is the case with all shared networks like the public Internet, there is a risk that you could be subject to “eavesdropping.” This means that other persons or entities may be able to access and/or monitor your use of the Internet. If you post, store, transmit, or disseminate any sensitive or confidential information, you do so at your sole risk. NEITHER PROVIDER NOR ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, OR AGENTS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES, ACTIONS, DAMAGES, SUITS, OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO SUCH ACTIONS BY YOU. You acknowledge that software programs are commercially available that claim to be capable of encryption or anonymization. We make no representation or warranty regarding the effectiveness of these programs.

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP). We do not prohibit the use of internet telephony (VOIP), but such VOIP service cannot be used exclusively and should not be relied upon for 911 emergency services. There are important limitations relating to VOIP usage in connection with the Service. We are not responsible for any failure of your VOIP usage, including such usage for emergency 911 services. PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW ABOUT 911 DIALING CAREFULLY. BY USING AND PAYING FOR THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO ALL OF THE INFORMATION BELOW REGARDING 911 EMERGENCY DIALING AND THE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN SUCH SERVICE AND TRADITIONAL 911 OR ENHANCED 911 CALLS. AS DESCRIBED HEREIN, THIS 911-TYPE DIALING CURRENTLY IS NOT THE SAME AS TRADITIONAL 911 OR E911 DIALING, AND AT THIS TIME, DOES NOT NECESSARILY INCLUDE ALL OF THE CAPABILITIES OF TRADITIONAL 911 DIALING. Some, but not necessarily all of the differences are described in this Agreement. a. Routing of 911 Calls. When you dial 911 using the Service, your call may be routed to a different dispatcher than traditional 911 dialing. IF YOU DO NOT CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THE ACTUAL CURRENT AND CORRECT PHYSICAL STREET ADDRESS LOCATION WHERE YOU ARE LOCATED, 911 COMMUNICATIONS MAY BE MISDIRECTED TO AN INCORRECT LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDER. If you move the Equipment to another location, you must register your new physical location. You are responsible to register your physical location. b. Power Outages and Other Things Affecting 911 Calling. 911 services will not function if the Equipment or other equipment fails or is not configured correctly or if the Service is not functioning for any reason, including, without limitation, a loss of power or power outage, a broadband service outage, or suspension or disconnection of your Service or your broadband service. If there is a power outage, the Service and 911 dialing will not function until power is restored and you may be required to reset or reconfigure the Equipment prior to being able to use your Service, including for 911 purposes. c. Network Congestion. There may be a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 call made utilizing the Service as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks. Provider does not have any control over whether (or the manner in which) calls using the 911 service are answered or addressed by any local emergency response center. d. DISCLAIMER. PROVIDER DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONDUCT OF LOCAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTERS AND THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY CALLING CENTER. PROVIDER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY IN THE EVENT SUCH THIRD PARTY DATA USED TO ROUTE CALL IS INCORRECT OR YIELDS AN ERRONEOUS RESULT. PROVIDER DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY SERVICE OUTAGE AND/OR THE INABILITY TO DIAL 911 USING YOUR SERVICE OR TO ACCESS EMERGENCY PERSONNEL DUE TO THE 911 DIALING CHARACTERISTICS AND LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. IF CUSTOMER IS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE LIMITATIONS OF THE 911 DIALING SERVICE, ARRANGEMENTS SHOULD BE MADE TO HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF ACCESSING 911 SERVICES.
