Conditions
of Subscription to WideOpenWest
PLEASE
CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT OF TERMS AND
CONDITIONS (THE “TERMS”). THESE
TERMS IDENTIFY THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
WITH REGARD TO THE INTERNET SERVICE DELIVERED BY WIDEOPENWEST
TO ITS CUSTOMERS. IN THE AGREEMENT BELOW,
WE REFER TO WIDEOPENWEST AS THE “PROVIDER” AND YOU AS
THE “CUSTOMER.” BY ESTABLISHING AN ACCOUNT OR USING
THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND
TO USE THE SERVICE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS, ANY
ADDITIONAL ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY AND OTHER POLICIES.
1. GENERAL
A.
PROVIDER provides its Internet services,
as they may exist from time to time (“Service”), to
users who establish an authorized account (“Account”)
and pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Service
(“CUSTOMERS”). BY ESTABLISHING AN ACCOUNT OR USING THE
SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT AND
TO USE THE SERVICE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT,
ANY ADDITIONAL ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY AND OTHER POLICIES.
If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, including any future revisions, you may not
use the Service and if you are a current CUSTOMER, you
must immediately notify PROVIDER and terminate your
use of the Service.
B.
These Terms and Conditions
of Use set forth the terms and conditions that apply
to the use of the Service by CUSTOMER. No representation,
warranty, term or condition, other than as specifically
set forth in these Terms, shall be binding on PROVIDER.
C.
CUSTOMER
understands that the Service provides an uncensored
feed from the Internet and that PROVIDER does not control,
and assumes no responsibility for, content on the Internet
or posted by a CUSTOMER.
D.
PROVIDER
shall have the right at any time to change or discontinue
any aspect or feature of the Service, including but
not limited to content, hours of availability, and equipment
needed for access to and use of the Service. Either
PROVIDER or CUSTOMER may terminate the Service to CUSTOMER
at any time. PROVIDER further has the right to add to
or modify any rules, terms and conditions governing
use of the Service at any time.
E.
CUSTOMER
is responsible in all respects (including all payment
obligations) for all use of CUSTOMER'S Account in all
circumstances, including under any screen name or password
by any person. CUSTOMER will ensure that all use of
CUSTOMER'S Account complies fully with the provisions
of these Terms and any operating rules that may be promulgated
from time to time by PROVIDER, and all use by others
of CUSTOMER'S Account is subject to the terms hereof.
CUSTOMER shall be responsible for protecting the confidentiality
of CUSTOMER'S passwords.
F.
CUSTOMER represents and warrants that he or she
is at least 18 years of age. CUSTOMER may, at his or
her discretion, permit minors to use the Service under
adult supervision.
G.
CUSTOMER is prohibited from transferring his
or her Account to any other person, or to a new residence.
H. WideOpenWest turns "File Sharing" OFF by default when configuring
your system during initial installation. This means
that other customers with "File Sharing" ON
will NOT see your computer on the "Network Neighborhood"
local area network setting UNLESS you change "File
Sharing" to ON after installation. We highly recommend
that you leave File and Print Sharing services turned
off. If you leave File and Print Sharing ON, it is possible
that other users can access your machine while you are
on the Internet. This is true for Windows 95, 98, 2000,
Me, Macintosh and other operating systems. All Internet
Service Providers and all IP (Internet Protocol) communications
share this anomaly, regardless of the type of connection.
If you need to use File and Print Sharing, enable the
service only when needed and then turn it off. Consider
using passwords with file-sharing applications. Passwords
can reduce but not entirely eliminate this risk.
Any Customer who chooses to enable file sharing, print
sharing or other capabilities that would allow users
to gain access to the Customer's computer, hereby acknowledges
and agrees that the Customer does so at the Customer's
own risk, and that WideOpenWest shall have no liability
whatsoever for any claims, losses, damages, actions,
suits or proceedings arising out of or otherwise relating
to such use by the Customer.
2. CHARGES
A.
CUSTOMER must (i) provide PROVIDER with accurate
and complete billing information including legal name,
address, telephone number, and credit card/billing information,
and (ii) report to PROVIDER all changes to this information
within thirty (30) days of the change. CUSTOMERS are
responsible for any charges to their Account.
B.
CUSTOMER agrees to pay for the Service
that he or she has subscribed to, including applicable
charges for installation and all applicable local, state
or federal fees or taxes. Monthly charges for the Service
are set forth on a separate price list (“Price List”)
and are subject to change in the future. Service charges
will be billed monthly in advance and are payable on
the due date specified on the bill.
C. An administrative late charge may be charged on past
due accounts for PROVIDER Service. Payment for your
PROVIDER service must be received by PROVIDER on or
before the due date stated on your PROVIDER monthly
bill. Failure to deliver payment by the due date is
a breach of your PROVIDER subscription agreement. This
individual breach causes PROVIDER to suffer damages
in an amount that is difficult to ascertain with certainty.
PROVIDER has made a reasonable estimate to determine
the damages caused by late payments generally and has
used this estimate to set a liquidated damages late
fee amount. The current late fee is listed in the Price
List or can be provided upon request. PROVIDER reserves
the right to change the late fee amount at any time
in the future upon notice to you of the new amount.
D.
Delinquent accounts may be suspended or
canceled at PROVIDER’S sole discretion; however, charges
will continue to accrue until the account is canceled.
If CUSTOMER discontinues
the Service or the Service is discontinued for non-payment,
he/she will be required, in addition to payment of all
overdue balances, to pay a reconnect charge or trip
charge (where applicable) before reconnection.
E.
PROVIDER
may charge a service fee for all returned checks and
bankcard or charge card charge backs.
F.
CUSTOMER
will be responsible for all expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by PROVIDER in collecting
any amounts due in accordance with these Terms and unpaid
by CUSTOMER.
3. EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE.
A.
The charges for the Service include (i) rental
of a cable modem and other equipment, if necessary,
to be installed at the CUSTOMER'S premises to permit
connection of a single computer to the Service (the
“PROVIDER Equipment”), (2) purchase, if necessary, of
an Ethernet card for installation in CUSTOMER'S computer,
and (3) license of the Software. Connection of additional
Computers may require payment of additional charges.
B.
CUSTOMER understands and agrees that use
of the Service requires certain equipment provided by
the CUSTOMER such as a personal computer and an appropriate
operating system ("CUSTOMER Equipment"). CUSTOMER
represents that (s)he owns the CUSTOMER Equipment or
otherwise has the right to use it in connection with
the Service. CUSTOMER agrees to connect only PROVIDER-approved
equipment to the Service. CUSTOMER shall have sole responsibility
for protecting all CUSTOMER Equipment and software from
loss or damage including, but not limited to, power
surges, lightning, fire, flood and acts of God. The
installation, use, inspection, maintenance, repair and
removal of the PROVIDER Equipment may result in service
outages or potential damage to CUSTOMER Equipment.
CUSTOMER understands and accepts the risks associated
with failing to back-up all existing computer files
by copying them to another storage medium prior to such
activities. PROVIDER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER
FOR ANY DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF ANY SOFTWARE,
COMPUTER PERIPHERALS, FILES OR DATA.
C.
PROVIDER
will install the PROVIDER Equipment and Software. CUSTOMER
acknowledges that the use of the Service may
periodically require updates and/or changes to the Software.
PROVIDER may enter CUSTOMER'S
premises and have access to CUSTOMER'S Computer periodically
during the term hereof to install, connect, inspect,
maintain, repair or alter the PROVIDER Equipment or
associated hardware or the Software, or to disconnect
and remove the PROVIDER Equipment.
D.
PROVIDER
shall have the right to upgrade the PROVIDER Equipment
and Software from time to time through "downloads"
from the network or otherwise, to conform the PROVIDER
Equipment and Software to its current network specifications.
This may include limitations on the throughput available
through individual modems.
E.
If CUSTOMER is not the owner of the premises
upon which PROVIDER Equipment and Software are to be
installed, CUSTOMER warrants that he/she has obtained
the consent of the owner of the premises for PROVIDER
personnel or its agents to enter the premises. CUSTOMER
agrees to indemnify and hold PROVIDER harmless from
any claim resulting from a breach of this warranty.
F.
PROVIDER
Equipment. (i) With the exception of the Ethernet card, the PROVIDER
Equipment is and at all times shall remain the sole
and exclusive personal property of PROVIDER, and CUSTOMER
shall acquire no interest therein by virtue of the payments
provided for herein or the attachment of any portion
of the PROVIDER Equipment to the CUSTOMER'S residence
or otherwise. Upon installation by PROVIDER, the Ethernet
card shall become and shall remain the sole and exclusive
personal property of CUSTOMER. (ii) CUSTOMER will not open, alter,
misuse, tamper with or remove the PROVIDER Equipment
as and where installed by PROVIDER, and will not remove
any markings or labels from the PROVIDER Equipment indicating
PROVIDER ownership. CUSTOMER will safeguard the PROVIDER
Equipment from loss or damage of any kind, and will
not permit anyone other than an authorized representative
of PROVIDER to perform any work on the PROVIDER Equipment. (iii) Upon termination of the Service,
for whatever reason, CUSTOMER acknowledges that his/her
right to possess and use the PROVIDER Equipment shall
likewise terminate. In such event, the PROVIDER Equipment
shall be returned to PROVIDER in the same condition
as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted. If
the foregoing conditions are met, PROVIDER will return
to CUSTOMER his/her security deposit, if any, within
a reasonable time thereafter. (iv) If the PROVIDER Equipment is damaged, destroyed,
lost or stolen while in CUSTOMER'S possession, CUSTOMER
shall be liable for the cost of repair or replacement
of the PROVIDER Equipment. If the PROVIDER Equipment
is not returned to PROVIDER upon termination of the
Service, CUSTOMER will pay PROVIDER the replacement
cost of the PROVIDER Equipment without any reduction
for depreciation, wear and tear or the physical condition
of such PROVIDER Equipment. PROVIDER may apply any
security deposit to any such obligation of CUSTOMER,
and collect any remaining balance from CUSTOMER. In
the event any amount is deducted from the security deposit,
the CUSTOMER must replace the amount so deducted.
G.
Software. (i) PROVIDER grants to the CUSTOMER a limited, non-exclusive
license to use the Software, in object code form only,
solely for the purpose of connecting CUSTOMER'S single
Computer to the Service. This license will permit such
use by CUSTOMER and any person authorized by CUSTOMER
to use the Account, under any password or screen name,
provided that CUSTOMER shall be responsible for all
use of the Account. This license will commence upon
acceptance of CUSTOMER'S subscription for the Service
and will terminate immediately upon termination of the
Service to CUSTOMER for any reason. PROVIDER retains
all rights and interests in and to the Software. (ii) CUSTOMER is permitted to archive the Software, provided
that all such copies contain the same copyright notices
and proprietary markings as the original Software. CUSTOMER
will not engage in, and will not permit, any other copying,
or any translation, reverse engineering or reverse compiling,
disassembly or modification of, or preparation of any
derivative works based on the Software, all of which
are prohibited. (iii) CUSTOMER will destroy all Software and any related
written material together with any copies promptly upon
termination of the Service to CUSTOMER for any reason.
4. ACCEPTABLE
CUSTOMER USE.
CUSTOMER agrees at all times to adhere to the PROVIDER’S
current Acceptable Use Policy. PROVIDER, in addition
to all of its other available legal or equitable remedies,
may immediately suspend or terminate the Service upon
any violation of the Acceptable Use Policy.
5. BREACH OF AGREEMENT.
If CUSTOMER breaches this Agreement or fails to abide
by PROVIDER'S Price List, rules, regulations or policies,
PROVIDER, at its option, may discontinue the Service,
remove the PROVIDER Equipment and pursue all of its
other legal and equitable remedies against CUSTOMER.
Failure of PROVIDER to remove its Equipment shall not
be deemed abandonment thereof. CUSTOMER shall pay reasonable
collection and/or attorney's fees to PROVIDER in the
event that PROVIDER shall find it necessary to enforce
collection or to preserve and protect its rights under
this Agreement. PROVIDER may terminate its Service immediately
in the event that CUSTOMER makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or a voluntary petition is filed
by or against CUSTOMER under any law having for its
purpose the adjudication of CUSTOMER as a bankrupt or
the reorganization of CUSTOMER.
6. MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT.
A.
CUSTOMER
agrees that PROVIDER shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to monitor all content on the Service,
including chat rooms, bulletin boards, e-mail and forums,
in order to determine compliance with these Terms and
any rules now or hereafter established by PROVIDER.
B.
PROVIDER
will have the right in its sole discretion to edit,
refuse to post, request removal of, or remove any material
submitted to or posted on the Service, including personal
home pages. Without limiting the foregoing, or PROVIDER'S
other rights under this Agreement, PROVIDER shall have
the right to remove any material that PROVIDER, in its
sole discretion, finds to be in violation of the provisions
of these Terms, including any Acceptable Use Policy
or other operating rules promulgated from time to time
by PROVIDER, or otherwise to be objectionable.
C.
CUSTOMER agrees that PROVIDER has the
right to take any action PROVIDER deems appropriate
to protect the Service, its facilities for provision
of the Service, or the PROVIDER Equipment, including
but not limited to restricting or prohibiting the posting
of any material that interferes with PROVIDER ability
to provide the Service. CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees
that PROVIDER shall have the right to monitor the "bandwidth"
utilization (i.e. volume of data transmitted) arising
out of the Service provided hereunder at any time and
on an on-going basis. In its sole discretion, PROVIDER
may: (i) limit excessive use of bandwidth; (ii) suspend
or terminate a CUSTOMER’S Account for excessive use
of bandwidth; or (iii) require CUSTOMER to upgrade CUSTOMER’S service level
and pay additional fees in accordance with PROVIDER’S
Price List.

Service's Acceptable Use Policy or limits on bandwidth
utilization, PROVIDER may suspend CUSTOMER'S Account
or home page or terminate CUSTOMER'S Account without
prior notification. PROVIDER may also suspend or terminate
CUSTOMER'S Account for using the Service to post content
to the Internet that violates the Service's Acceptable
Use Policy. If CUSTOMER'S Account is suspended, CUSTOMER
will not be charged for that period of time. If CUSTOMER'S
Account is terminated, CUSTOMER will be refunded any
pre-paid fees minus any amount due PROVIDER.
E.
PROVIDER
undertakes no obligation to review or determine the
accuracy of any CUSTOMER postings.
7. USER NAME AND ADDRESS.
CUSTOMER represents that the username selected by the
CUSTOMER, when used alone or combined with a second
or third level domain name, does not interfere with
the rights of any third party and is not being selected
for any unlawful purpose. Customer acknowledges and
agrees that if such selection does interfere with the
rights of any third party or is being selected for any
unlawful purpose then PROVIDER may immediately suspend
the use of such WOW! Internet e-mail address, and
CUSTOMER will indemnify and hold PROVIDER harmless for
any claim or demand against PROVIDER that arises out
of such selection. CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees
that PROVIDER shall not be liable to CUSTOMER in the
event that PROVIDER is ordered or required, as a result
of a court order or legal settlement, to desist from
using or permitting the use of a particular domain name
as part of a WOW! Internet e-mail address. If as
a result of such action, CUSTOMER loses an e-mail address,
the CUSTOMER’S sole remedy shall be the receipt of a
replacement WOW! Internet e-mail address.
