Terral Telephone Company dba 81Broadband Internet Access Service Terms of Use
Important: By signing up, using, or otherwise accessing the services provided by 81Broadband, hereinafter referred to as “internet access service”, you implicitly agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. This agreement may affect your rights, so you should read it carefully. Use of our services requires your acceptance of this agreement, and it may be modified at any time without prior notice from us.
1. Installation And Service: Terms: 81Broadband shall install or arrange installation of products and services as set forth on the 81Broadband Form. All installation fees, charges for additional hardware and recurring service fees for the first indicated period on the order form are due and must be paid at the time service installation is complete. Customer shall provide all necessary preparations required to ensure proper installation, maintenance and operation of all the circuit; and will provide 81Broadband (and its representatives and suppliers) all reasonable access to Customer’s premises and telephone equipment to perform any acts pursuant to this agreement. Customer is responsible for Professional Installation fees, and all costs of wiring beyond the point of demarcation (the “demarc”) as outfitted in 1(b), and for relocation of services once installed. Inside Wiring: The demarc will be determined in the course of installation; any wiring performed beyond this point is considered “inside wiring.” On a line-shared ADSL/VDSL or Broadband circuit, inside wiring is normally unnecessary. 81Broadband (and its representatives) will do the minimum amount of inside wiring work necessary and feasible to complete a Professional Install if one is ordered. In some cases, Customer will need to procure special permission, insurance, and/or a 3rd party contractor to complete inside wiring; any fees and costs thereof are separate from 81Broadband fees and charges, and 81Broadband will not provide any credit, reimbursement, or discount for them. Professional Install: Customer will pay a Professional Install Fee, which carries a one-time $50.00 cost, if a Six Month Contract is signed. If the Customer does not sign the Six Month Contract, the full Professional Install charge of $150 will be applied. 81Broadband exercise reasonable effort to arrange these appointments when convenient for the Customer. 81Broadband reserves the right to charge a Cancellation Fee prorated based on the time left on the One Year Contract signed.
2. Term of Agreement: This agreement shall have a term of Six Months, unless a different term is agreed upon in writing or set forth on the 81Broadband Order Form. This term shall commence on the date of installation completion and shall thereafter automatically renew for successive equivalent or monthly terms as applicable, unless terminated as set forth therein or unless written notice of non-renewal by either party is delivered to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then current term.
3. Moving: If the Customer moves during the term of this agreement and would like to relocate the service, Customer must place a relocation request with 81Broadband soon as possible. This request must contain the requested date of the service termination, plus the address and phone number of the new location if possible and the prospective move-in date. Upon receiving a written or email relocation request from Customer, 81Broadband will place a “move order” for the location. The Service must be maintained at the old address until the Service has been delivered to the new address. All applicable early-termination fees will be charged. If 81Broadband its agents are unable to provide service to Customer’s new location, the Agreement shall terminate and the Early Termination fee of $200 shall be applied, prorated based on the Six Month Contract signed.
4. Payment And Billing: Rates are as set forth on the 81Broadband DSL or Broadband price list on the date the order is placed. Billing will commence on the date Customer’s DSL or Broadband connection to 81Broadband activated. Unless otherwise agreed 81Broadband Customer in writing. Customer’s billing cycle will be determined by the initial payment amount as follows: If the initial payment covers a full year (inclusive of applicable discounts), the billing cycle will equal one year. If the initial payment covers less than one year, the billing cycle will equal one month. Initial charges shall be invoiced in advance, and are due on the activation date. Customer’s billing cycle will commence with the date of activation and subsequent payments will be due on that date each billing cycle. Charges more than 30 days overdue will subject Customer to interruption of service. Such interruption does not relieve Customer from the obligation to pay the recurring charge, and no credit will be given for interruptions of service due to late payment. 81Broadband reserves the right to levy services charges, early termination fees, and fees on accounts more than 30 days overdue.
