IOvAGE High-Speed Wireless Internet Service Subscriber Agreement
IOvAGE High-Speed Wireless Wireless Wireless Internet service (the "Service") will be provided to you
("you," "your," or "Customer") on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Subscriber Agreement (the "Agreement") by the operating company subsidiary of
IOvAGE that owns and/or operates the wireless internet system in
your area pursuant to a wireless internet franchise with the local franchising
authority ("IOvAGE," "we," "us," or "our"). For purposes of this Agreement,
"affiliate" means any entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common
control with IOvAGE.
1. Equipment; Access.
- Required Equipment: You understand and agree that the Service
requires certain equipment provided by you such as a personal computer, an
Ethernet device, if required, and an appropriate operating system (the
"Customer Equipment"), as well as certain equipment provided by IOvAGE or
its designee such as software and external wiring and related electronic
equipment installed by IOvAGE up to the point twelve inches from where the
wiring enters your business or residence ("IOvAGE Equipment"). If you are leasing a wireless
client adapter, bridge, or router from us, the wireless client adapter,
bridge, or router is IOvAGE Equipment. If you have purchased a wireless
client adapter, bridge, or router (whether from us or from a third party) the wireless
client adapter, bridge, or router is Customer Equipment. IOvAGE reserves the right to
provide the Service only to the extent that you use a wireless client
adapter, bridge, or router compatible with the Service. Whether the wireless
client adapter, bridge, or router is owned by you or us, we have the unrestricted right, but
not the obligation, to upgrade or change the firmware in the wireless client
adapter, bridge, or router at any time that we, in our sole discretion, determine is
necessary or desirable. We may perform these upgrades or changes remotely or
on the Premises as we determine in our sole discretion.
- Access to Customer's Premises: You authorize IOvAGE and its
employees, agents, contractors, and representatives to enter your premises
at which the Service will be accessed (the "Premises") in order to install,
configure, maintain, inspect, repair and remove the IOvAGE Equipment, and
to install, configure and inspect the Customer Equipment. All such access
will occur during normal business hours or by appointment. You warrant that
you are the owner of, or a tenant in, the Premises, and that you have the
authority to enter into this Agreement. If you are not the owner of the
Premises, upon request, you will supply us with the owner's name and
address, evidence that you are authorized to grant access to the Premises on
the owner's behalf and (if requested by IOvAGE) written consent from the
owner of the Premises. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
IOvAGE and its affiliates, suppliers, and agents against all claims and
expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of any breach of
this Section 1(b).
- IOvAGE Equipment: The IOvAGE Equipment will at all times remain
the property of IOvAGE or its designee. You acknowledge that the IOvAGE
Equipment is merely a means through which the Service is provided by us and
may be removed or changed by us at our discretion as we deem appropriate,
including through "downloads" to your computer(s) or otherwise. You agree
not to use the IOvAGE Equipment for any purpose other than to use the
Service pursuant to this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement,
IOvAGE will repair and maintain all IOvAGE Equipment and you agree that
the IOvAGE Equipment will not be serviced by anyone other than IOvAGE
employees or agents. You shall not sell, transfer, lease, encumber or assign
all or part of the IOvAGE Equipment to any third party. You will not
relocate the IOvAGE Equipment. At your request, we may, at an additional
charge, relocate the IOvAGE Equipment within the Premises at a time agreed
to with you. If you change residences or disconnect your Service, you must
contact IOvAGE for additional information concerning disconnecting the
Service, the possibility, costs and procedures for transferring the IOvAGE
Equipment and Service to your new residence. You shall pay to IOvAGE the
full manufacturer's suggested retail price for the replacement of any lost,
stolen, unreturned, damaged, sold, transferred, leased, encumbered or
assigned IOvAGE Equipment or part thereof, together with any incidental
costs incurred by us relating to the replacement of the IOvAGE Equipment or
part thereof.
- Customer Equipment: You represent that you own the Customer
Equipment or otherwise have the right to use such equipment in connection
with the Service. IOvAGE shall have no obligation to provide, maintain or
service the Customer Equipment. The current minimum technical and other
requirements for Customer Equipment (including without limitation required
computer hardware) in connection with the Service are posted on the
Service's web site at www.IOvAGE.net
or on another web site about which you have been notified. These minimum
requirements may be revised by us from time to time. If you proceed with the
installation of or use the Service in conjunction with Customer Equipment
that does not meet the minimum requirements (a "Non-Recommended
Configuration"), you agree that (i) you will not be entitled to customer
support relating to any issues other than the quality of the signal
delivered to the cable modem or gateway/router, and (ii) the following
limitation of liability shall apply: NEITHER IOvAGE NOR ANY OF ITS
AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, OR AGENTS WARRANT THAT A NON-RECOMMENDED
CONFIGURATION WILL ENABLE YOU TO SUCCESSFULLY INSTALL, ACCESS, OPERATE, OR
USE THE SERVICE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY SUCH INSTALLATION, ACCESS,
OPERATION OR USE COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION CUSTOMER'S COMPUTER, PERIPHERALS, SOFTWARE OR DATA. NEITHER
IOvAGE NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, OR AGENTS SHALL HAVE ANY
LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY SUCH FAILURE OR DAMAGE. The foregoing
limitation of liability is in addition to and shall not limit any other
limitation of liability set forth in this Agreement.
2. Intellectual Property Rights.
- End User Licenses: You agree to comply with the terms and
conditions of all end user license agreements accompanying any software or
plug-ins to such software distributed or used in connection with the Service
including, without limitation, the IOvAGE Software License Agreement, the
current version of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A, as
these agreements may be amended from time to time. All such agreements are
incorporated in this Agreement by reference. All end user licenses will
terminate upon the termination of this Agreement, and, at such time, you
shall destroy all versions and copies of all software received by you in
connection with the Service.
- Ownership of Addresses: You acknowledge that use of the Service
does not give you any ownership or other rights in any Internet/on-line
addresses provided to you, including but not limited to Internet Protocol
("IP") addresses, e-mail addresses and web addresses. We may modify or
change these addresses at any time without notice and shall in no way be
required to compensate you for these changes.
- Authorization: IOvAGE does not claim any ownership of any
material that you publish, transmit or distribute using the Service. By
using the Service to publish, transmit or distribute material or content,
you (i) warrant that the material or content complies with the provisions of
this Agreement, (ii) consent to and authorize IOvAGE, its agents,
suppliers, and affiliates to reproduce, publish, distribute, and display the
content worldwide and (iii) warrant that you have the right to provide this
authorization. You acknowledge that material posted or transmitted using the
Service may be copied, republished or distributed by third parties, and you
agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless IOvAGE, its agents, suppliers,
and affiliates for any harm resulting from these actions.
- Copyright in the Service: Title and intellectual property rights
to the Service are owned by IOvAGE, its agents, suppliers, or affiliates or
their licensors or otherwise by the owners of such material and are
protected by copyright laws and treaties. The copying, redistribution,
reselling or publication of any part of the Service without express prior
written consent from IOvAGE or other owner of such material is prohibited.
- Material Downloaded through the Service: In addition to any
content that may be provided by us, you may access material through the
Service that is not owned by IOvAGE. Any such material may be downloaded
from the Service only for your personal, non-commercial use, and you are not
allowed to redistribute that material over any network (other than a
residential home network located in the Premises) or sell or offer for sale
that material. Unless other terms and conditions expressly apply to specific
content, you may make: (a) one machine readable copy, (b) one backup copy,
and (c) one print copy of any material downloaded from the Service; any
other copying, or any redistribution or publication of any downloaded
material, including, without limitation, posting to any other online
service, must be with the express permission of the relevant copyright
holder. In any permitted copying, redistribution or publication of
copyrighted material, any changes to or deletion of any copyright notice are
prohibited. Other terms and conditions may apply to your use of any content
or material made available through the Service that is not owned by IOvAGE.
You should read those terms and conditions to learn how they apply to you
and your use of any non-IOvAGE content.
3. Fees and Payments
- Fees and Charges: You agree to pay all charges and fees
associated with the use of the Service, which charges may include, without
limitation, monthly service fees, charges for the use of IOvAGE Equipment,
installation charges, charges for service calls and other charges. In
addition, you agree to pay all applicable federal, state and local fees and
taxes. A current applicable listing of fees and charges for the Service is
posted on the web site at www.IOvAGE.net
or on another web site about which you have been notified. IOvAGE shall
have the right to change the amount of fees and charges from time to time at
its discretion and upon reasonable advance notice. Monthly service,
equipment and other fees shall be payable monthly in advance. Installation
and other charges will be billed according to our then current billing
policies. Your IOvAGE invoice may also contain charges for other services
provided by us or our subsidiaries or affiliates. If we receive partial
payment of any such invoices, we will apply such payment in the amounts and
proportions to the outstanding charges as we determine. Our acceptance of
any partial payment by you does not mean that we waive our rights to collect
the full balance owed to us.
- Credit Card: If authorized by you, IOvAGE shall charge all
amounts payable by you to IOvAGE pursuant to this Agreement to your credit
card in accordance with the credit card information provided by you. By
providing a credit card number to us, you authorize us to continue charging
the credit card for all monthly fees (including without limitation monthly
service fees and equipment charges, as well as applicable taxes and fees)
payable to IOvAGE, and any other charges incurred by you and payable to
IOvAGE pursuant to this Agreement, until this Agreement is terminated.
Monthly service fees and equipment fees may be charged up to thirty (30)
days in advance of the first day of the month for which the charges relate.
You agree to inform us immediately of any change in credit card information
(including without limitation a change in expiration date). Your card issuer
agreement governs use of the credit card in connection with the Service, and
you must refer to that agreement with respect to your rights and liabilities
as a cardholder. If IOvAGE does not receive payment from your credit card
issuer or its agents, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by us.
- Late Payments; Failure to Pay: You agree to pay IOvAGE, as set
forth in this Agreement, for any fees or charges due to IOvAGE, including
any administrative late fee(s) and related fees, charges and assessments due
to late payments or non-payments. If IOvAGE does not receive any required
payment from you by the date on which the payment is due, or you pay less
than the full amount due IOvAGE where we provide more than one product or
service to you, you may be charged such fees, charges and assessments and
the Service may be disconnected. If the Service is disconnected, in addition
to the rights and remedies of IOvAGE under this Agreement or otherwise, you
may be required to pay a reconnect fee in addition to all past due charges
before the Service is reconnected. Any administrative late fee(s) and
related fees, charges and assessments due to late payment and nonpayment are
not penalties. Rather, they are liquidated damages intended to be a
reasonable advance estimate of our costs resulting from late payments or
non-payments by our customers. These costs will not be readily
ascertainable, and will be difficult to predict or calculate, at the time
that such administrative late fee(s) and related charges are set because it
would be difficult to know in advance: (a) whether you will pay for the
Service on a timely basis, (b) if you do pay late, when you will actually
pay, if ever, and (c) what costs we will incur because of your late payment
or non-payment. IOvAGE will inform you of the amount of these fees and
other separate or additional charges by posting notice of such charges on
the Service's web site at www.IOvAGE.net
or on another web site about which you have been notified, or by sending
notice as set forth in Section 10(b) below, prior to IOvAGE assessing any
new or changed fees. You may avoid these fees and other separate or
additional charges relating to late payment and non-payment by complying
with the payment provisions of this Agreement and by complying with
IOvAGE's current billing policies. If you fail to pay for the Service when
due (because of a failure to comply with the payment provisions of this
Agreement or for any other reason), you agree to voluntarily pay all
administrative late fee(s) and related fees, charges and assessments due to
late payment and non-payment. IOvAGE does not anticipate that you will fail
to pay for the Service on a timely basis. We do not extend credit to
customers and the administrative fee(s), related fees, charges and
assessments are not interest, a credit service charge or a finance charge.
IOvAGE's late fee practices may be revised to comply with applicable state
or local laws, rules or regulations. If we are required to use a collection
agency or attorney to collect money owed by you or to assert any other right
that we may have against you, you agree to pay the reasonable costs of
collection or other action. These costs might include, but are not limited
to, the costs of a collection agency, reasonable attorneys' fees and
arbitration or court costs.
- Additional Charges: The Service will allow you to access the
Internet, content providers, providers of services, on-line services and
other information. You acknowledge that you may incur charges on account of
such access or usage through the Service separate and apart from the amounts
charged by us. In addition, you may incur charges as a result of accessing
on-line services or purchasing or subscribing to other offerings via the
Internet or otherwise. You agree that all charges payable to third parties,
including all applicable taxes, are your sole responsibility. In addition,
you are solely responsible for protecting the security of credit card and
payment information provided in connection with such transactions.
- Alternate Billing Arrangements: In certain cases, IOvAGE may
agree to provide billing services on behalf of content providers, service
providers or other third parties. If such billing services are provided by
IOvAGE, we shall be acting as the agent of the third party. Any such third
party charges shall be payable pursuant to any contract or other arrangement
between you and the third party. We shall not be responsible for any dispute
regarding these charges between you and any third party for whom IOvAGE
bills. You must address all such disputes directly with the third party.
- Credit Inquiries: You authorize IOvAGE to make inquiries and to
receive information about your credit experience from others, enter this
information in your file, and disclose this information concerning you to
appropriate third parties for reasonable business purposes.
- Billing Errors: Subject to applicable law, you must notify us of
any billing errors or other requests for refund within sixty (60) days of
the date on which the error occurred.
- Account Access: In order to protect the privacy of your account
information, we may require that you use a security code or other method,
designated in accordance with our policies, to confirm your identity when
requesting or otherwise accessing account information, making changes to the
Service or performing other functions related to the Service.
4. Customer Information, Privacy, and Security
- Customer Privacy and Security: Your privacy interests, including
your ability to limit disclosure of certain information to third parties, is
described in the IOvAGE High-Speed Wireless Wireless Wireless Internet Privacy Statement which we
provided or made available to you at the time of the original installation
of the Service, and will provide or make available to you annually as long
as you receive the Service. You acknowledge your receipt of the IOvAGE
High-Speed Wireless Wireless Wireless Internet Privacy Statement and your express consent to the terms
of that privacy policy. To the extent that IOvAGE is expressly required to
do so by applicable law, we will provide notice to you of a breach of the
security of certain personally identifiable information about you. It is IOvAGE's information security policy to provide such notice to you in the
manner set forth in Section 10(b) below.
- Information Provided To Third Parties: The Service will allow you
to access third parties, including without limitation, content providers,
on-line services and other providers of goods, services and information.
Some of these goods, services and information may be accessible directly
from the Service, and others may be accessible from the third parties
referenced above. In connection with this third party access, you may be
requested or required to provide your name, address, telephone number,
credit card number and other personally identifiable information to such
third parties. IOvAGE is not responsible for any such information provided
by you to third parties, and this information is not subject to the privacy
provisions of this Agreement or the IOvAGE High-Speed Wireless Wireless Wireless Internet Privacy
Statement. You assume all privacy and other risks associated with providing
personally identifiable information to third parties via the Service. For a
description of the privacy protections associated with providing information
to third parties, you should refer to the privacy policies, if any, provided
by those third parties.
5. Acceptable Use Policy; Prohibited Uses of the Service
- Acceptable Use Policy: You expressly agree not to use the
Customer Equipment, IOvAGE Equipment or the Service, directly or
indirectly, to undertake or accomplish any unlawful purpose or in violation
of any posted IOvAGE policy applicable to the Service, including without
limitation any IOvAGE Acceptable Use Policy (the "AUP") or other policy
posted on the Service's web site at www.IOvAGE.net or on another web site about which you have been
notified, and that the AUP or other policy may be modified by IOvAGE from
time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
you acknowledge and agree that the terms of the AUP and any other applicable
IOvAGE policies may be put into effect or revised from time to time without
notice by posting a new version of the AUP or the other policy as set forth
above. Accordingly, you and other users of the Service should consult the

and you expressly agree to use it, solely in a private residence, living

boarding house, or the residential portion of a premises which is used for
both business and residential purposes. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Service is for personal and non-commercial use only and
you agree not to use the Service for operation as an Internet service
provider, a server site for ftp, telnet, rlogin, e-mail hosting, "web
hosting" or other similar applications, for any business enterprise, or as
an end-point on a non-IOvAGE local area network or wide area network. You
agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless IOvAGE and its affiliates,
suppliers, and agents against all claims and expenses (including reasonable
attorney fees) arising out of any breach of this Section 5(b) including, but
not limited to, any claims based on or arising out of any material violation
of any applicable law.

feature or software and it is your sole responsibility to take appropriate
precautions to protect any computer or other hardware of yours from damage
to its software, files or data as a result of any such virus or other

or any portion of the installation or operation of the Service if a virus or
other harmful feature or software is found to be present on your system. We
are not required to provide you with any assistance in removal of the virus
or other harmful feature or software. If we decide, in our sole discretion,
to install or run virus or other harmful software check software on your
computer(s), we make no representation or warranty that the check will

part of the installation process for the software and other components of
the Service, system files on your computer may be modified. IOvAGE does not
represent, warrant or covenant that these modifications will not disrupt the
normal operations of any Customer Equipment including without limitation
your computer(s), or cause the loss of files. FOR THESE AND OTHER REASONS,
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU BACK-UP ALL FILES TO ANOTHER STORAGE MECHANISM
PRIOR TO SUCH ACTIVITIES. YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE ASSOCIATED RISKS OF
ANY DECISION BY YOU NOT TO DO SO. NEITHER IOvAGE NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES,
SUPPLIERS, OR AGENTS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY DAMAGE TO
OR LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF ANY SOFTWARE, FILES OR DATA. In addition, the
opening of your computer may void warranties provided by the computer
manufacturer or other parties relating to the computer's hardware or
software. You understand that your computer may need to be opened, either by
you or by us or our agents, in connection with the installation or repair of
the Service. NEITHER IOvAGE NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, OR AGENTS
SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AS THE RESULT OF THE VOIDING OF ANY SUCH
WARRANTIES.
- Not Liable For Third Parties: You acknowledge that we may use the
services, equipment and infrastructure and content of others in providing
the Service and that third parties may provide components of the Service. We
are not responsible for the performance (or non-performance) of such
services, equipment, infrastructure or content of others whether or not they
constitute components of the Service. In addition, you understand that you
will have access to the services and content of third parties through the
Service, including without limitation that provided by content providers
(whether or not accessible directly from the Service). Services, equipment,
infrastructure and content that are not provided by us (even if they are
components of the Service) are not the responsibility of IOvAGE, and we
shall have no liability with respect to such services, equipment,
infrastructure and content. You should address questions or concerns
relating to such services, equipment, infrastructure and content to the
creators of such services, equipment, infrastructure and content. We do not
endorse or warrant any third-party products, services or content that are
distributed or advertised over the Service. No undertaking, representation
or warranty made by an agent or employee of IOvAGE or our underlying third
party providers in connection with the installation, maintenance, or
provision of the Service which is inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement shall be binding on IOvAGE. The limitations of liability set
forth in Section 8(b) apply to the acts, omissions, and negligence of
IOvAGE and its underlying third party providers and suppliers (and their
respective officers, employees, agents, contractors or representatives)
which, but for that provision, would give rise to a cause of action in
contract, tort or any other legal doctrine.
- Customer Responsibility for Content: You acknowledge that there
is some content and material on the Internet or otherwise available through
the Service which may be offensive to some individuals, may be unsuitable
for children, may violate federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations
or may violate your protected rights or those of others. We assume no
responsibility for this content or material. All content and material
accessed by you or others through the Service is accessed and used by you or
such others at their own risk, and neither IOvAGE 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 access to such content or material by you or others. Questions
or complaints regarding content or material should be addressed to the
content or material provider. You acknowledge that software programs
claiming to be capable of restricting access to sexually explicit material
on the Internet are commercially available. We make no representation or
warranty regarding the effectiveness of such programs.
- Monitoring of Postings and Transmissions: IOvAGE shall have no
obligation to monitor postings or transmissions made in connection with the
Service. However, you acknowledge and agree that IOvAGE and its agents
shall have the right to monitor any such postings and transmissions,
including without limitation e-mail, newsgroups, chat, IP audio and video,
and web space content, from time to time and to use and disclose them in
accordance with Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement, and as otherwise
required by law or government request. We reserve the right to refuse to
upload, post, publish, transmit or store any information or materials, in
whole or in part, that, in our sole discretion, is unacceptable, undesirable
or in violation of this Agreement.
- Eavesdropping: Our facilities are used by numerous persons or
entities including, without limitation, other subscribers to the Service. As
a result, 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 Service. This risk of eavesdropping exists not only with our
facilities, but also on the Internet and other services to which access is
provided as a part of the Service. Any sensitive or confidential information
posted, stored, transmitted or disseminated by you is done so at your sole
risk, and neither IOvAGE 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 claiming to be capable of
encryption are commercially available. We make no representation or warranty
regarding the effectiveness of these programs.
- FTP/HTTP Service Setup: You acknowledge that when using the
Service there are certain applications such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
or HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) which may be used by other persons or
entities to allow such other persons or entities to gain access to
Customer's Equipment. You are solely responsible for the security of the
Customer Equipment or any other equipment you choose to use in connection
with the Service, including without limitation any data stored on such
equipment. Neither IOvAGE nor its affiliates, suppliers, or agents shall
have any liability whatsoever for any claims, losses, actions, damages,
suits or proceedings resulting from, arising out of or otherwise relating to
the use of such applications by you, or the access by others to the Customer
Equipment or other equipment of yours.
- File and Print Sharing: The Service functions in some ways as a
Local Area Network (LAN) with each Customer constituting a node on the
network. As such, users outside of the Premises may be able to access the
Customer Equipment and other equipment connected in some way to the Customer
Equipment. In addition, some available software includes capabilities that
will permit other users to gain access to the Customer Equipment and other
equipment connected in some way to the Customer Equipment, and to the
software, files and data stored on such equipment. For example, operating
systems such as Windows and Macintosh include file sharing and print sharing
capabilities which, when enabled, will permit other users to gain access to
the Customer Equipment and other equipment connected in some way to the
Customer Equipment, even if you are not using the Service. Unless you are
subject to a Service plan that expressly provides otherwise, we recommend
that you connect only a single computer to the Service and that you disable
file and print sharing and other capabilities that allow outside users to
gain access to the Customer Equipment. You acknowledge that if you choose to
run these applications, you should take appropriate security measures, and
that any failure by you to follow this recommendation is at your sole risk.
Neither IOvAGE nor its affiliates, suppliers, or agents shall have any
liability whatsoever for any claims, losses, actions, damages, suits or
proceedings resulting from, arising out of or otherwise relating to access
by others of the Customer Equipment or any other equipment connected in some
way to the Customer Equipment, or to the software, files and data stored on
such equipment.
- High Risk Activities: The Service is not fail-safe and is not
designed or intended for use in situations requiring fail-safe performance
or in which an error or interruption in the Service 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.
- Facilities Allocation: IOvAGE reserves the right to determine,
in its discretion, and on an ongoing basis, the nature and extent of its
facilities allocated to support the Service, including, but not limited to,
the amount of bandwidth to be utilized and delivered in conjunction with the
Service.
- Cookies: You acknowledge that accessing certain web sites through
the Service may result in a "cookie" being placed on your computer system.
Cookies are small files stored on a computer's hard drive to simplify and
improve a user's Web experience. It is your responsibility to disable or
restrict the placement of cookies through whatever procedures are available
on your browser if you don't want them placed on your computer system.
- Sole Remedy: Your sole and exclusive remedies under this
Agreement are as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, and some states do
not allow the limitations or exclusion of incidental or consequential
damages, so certain of the above exclusions may not apply. In such states,
the liability of IOvAGE and its affiliates, suppliers, and agents is
limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
9. Binding Arbitration
- Purpose: If you have a Dispute (as defined below) with IOvAGE
that cannot be resolved through the informal dispute resolution process
described in your Welcome Kit from IOvAGE, you or IOvAGE may elect to
arbitrate that Dispute in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration
Provision rather than litigate the Dispute in court. Arbitration means you
will have a fair hearing before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court
by a judge or jury.
- Definitions: As used in this Arbitration Provision, the term
"Dispute" means any dispute, claim or controversy between you and IOvAGE
that has accrued by the effective date of this Agreement, which is the date
that the Service was first available for your use ("Effective Date") or any
dispute, claim or controversy that accrues after the Effective Date, whether
based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not
limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence or
any other intentional tort), or any other legal or equitable theory, and
includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Provision
(with the exception of the enforceability of the class action waiver clause
provided in Section 9(e)(2) below). "Dispute" is to be given the broadest
possible meaning that will be enforced. As used in this Arbitration
Provision, "IOvAGE" means IOvAGE Cable Communications, LLC, its officers,
directors, employees and agents, and all entities using the brand name
"IOvAGE," including your local cable company, its employees, authorized
agents, and its parents, subsidiaries and affiliated companies. As used in
this provision, the term "Arbitration Provision" means all the terms of this
Section 9.
- Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding/Selection of Arbitrator: If
you or IOvAGE elect to resolve your Dispute with IOvAGE through
arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Provision, the party initiating the
arbitration proceeding may select from the following arbitration
organizations, which will apply the appropriate rules for consumer claims to
arbitrate the Dispute:
- American Arbitration Association ("AAA")
335 Madison Ave., Floor 10
New York NY 10017-4605
1-800-778-7879
www.adr.org
- Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Service ("JAMS")
1920 Main Street, Suite 300
Irvine, CA 92614
(949) 224-1810
www.jamsadr.com
- National Arbitration Forum ("NAF")
P.O. Box 50191
Minneapolis, MN 55405-0191
1-800-474-2371
www.arbitration-forum.com
- Arbitration Procedures: Arbitration Procedures: Because the
service provided to you by IOvAGE concerns interstate commerce, the Federal
Arbitration Act ("FAA"), not state arbitration law, shall govern the
arbitrability of all Disputes. However, applicable federal law or the law of
the state where you receive the service from IOvAGE may apply to and govern
the substance of any Disputes.
Any state statutes pertaining to arbitration, however, shall not be
applicable under this Arbitration Provision. If there is a conflict between
this Arbitration Provision and the rules of the arbitration organization
chosen, the rules contained in this Arbitration Provision shall govern. If
there is a conflict between this Arbitration Provision and the rest of the
Subscriber Agreement, this Arbitration Provision shall govern.
You and IOvAGE agree that a single arbitrator will resolve the Dispute.
You should know that participating in arbitration may result in limited
discovery depending on the rules of the arbitration organization that is
chosen to resolve the Dispute. The arbitrator will apply applicable statutes
of limitation (as modified by this Arbitration Provision), will honor claims
of privilege recognized by law and will take reasonable steps to protect
customer account information and other confidential or proprietary
information, including the use of protective orders to prohibit disclosure
outside of the arbitration, if requested to do so by you or IOvAGE.
The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a
statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Upon a request by you or
IOvAGE, the arbitrator will provide a brief statement of the reasons for
the award. An award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction over the parties.
If an award granted by the arbitrator exceeds $75,000, either party can
appeal that award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the same
arbitration organization. The members of the three-arbitrator panel will be
selected according to the rules of the arbitration organization. The party
wishing to appeal the decision of the single arbitrator shall have thirty
(30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award to notify
the arbitration organization, through a written notice of appeal, that it is
exercising its right to appeal. The arbitration organization will then
notify the other party that the award has been appealed. The
three-arbitrator panel will issue its decision within one hundred and twenty
(120) days of the date of the appealing party's notice of appeal. The
decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding, except
for any appellate right which exists under the FAA.
- Restrictions:
(1) YOU MUST CONTACT US WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE OF THE OCCURRENCE
OF THE EVENT OR FACTS GIVING RISE TO A DISPUTE (EXCEPT FOR BILLING DISPUTES
WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO SECTION 3 OF THE AGREEMENT), OR YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO
PURSUE A CLAIM BASED UPON SUCH EVENT, FACTS OR DISPUTE.
(2) ALL PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION MUST BE INDIVIDUALLY NAMED. THERE
SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED
ON A CLASS-ACTION OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT
IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC (SUCH
AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL), OTHER SUBSCRIBERS, OR OTHER PERSONS
SIMILARLY SITUATED.
- Location of Arbitration: The arbitration will take place at a
location, convenient to you, in the area where you receive the service from
us.
- Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs: IOvAGE WILL ADVANCE ALL
ARBITRATION FILING FEES AND ARBITRATOR'S COSTS AND EXPENSES UPON YOUR
WRITTEN REQUEST. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ADDITIONAL COSTS THAT YOU INCUR
IN THE ARBITRATION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ATTORNEYS OR EXPERT
WITNESSES. IF THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING IS DECIDED IN IOvAGE'S FAVOR, YOU
SHALL REIMBURSE IOvAGE FOR THE FEES AND COSTS ADVANCED TO YOU ONLY UP TO
THE AMOUNT THAT YOU WOULD HAVE PAID TO FILE A CASE REGARDING YOUR DISPUTE
WITH IOvAGE IN THE STATE COURT WHERE YOU RECEIVE THE SERVICE FROM IOvAGE.
IF THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING IS DETERMINED IN YOUR FAVOR, YOU WILL NOT BE
REQUIRED TO REIMBURSE IOvAGE FOR ANY OF THE FEES AND COSTS ADVANCED BY
IOvAGE. IN THE EVENT A PARTY ELECTS TO APPEAL AN AWARD TO A THREE
ARBITRATOR PANEL, THE PREVAILING PARTY IN THE APPEAL SHALL BE ENTITLED TO
RECOVER ALL REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS INCURRED IN THAT APPEAL.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION,
IOvAGE WILL PAY ALL FEES AND COSTS WHICH IT IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO PAY.
- Severability: If any clause within this Arbitration Provision
(other than the class action waiver clause identified in Section 9(e)(2)
above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed
from the Arbitration Provision, and the remainder of the Arbitration
Provision will be given full force and effect. If the class action waiver
clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the entire Arbitration
Provision will be unenforceable. In the event that this entire Arbitration
Provision is determined to be illegal or unenforceable for any reason, or if
a claim is brought in a Dispute that is found by a court to be excluded from
the scope of this Arbitration Provision, you and IOvAGE have each agreed to
waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.
- Exclusions from Arbitration: YOU AND IOvAGE AGREE THAT THE
FOLLOWING WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION:
(1) ANY CLAIM FILED BY YOU OR BY IOvAGE THAT IS NOT AGGREGATED WITH THE
CLAIM OF ANY OTHER SUBSCRIBER AND WHOSE AMOUNT IN CONTROVERSY IS PROPERLY
WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF A COURT WHICH IS LIMITED TO ADJUDICATING SMALL
CLAIMS; (2) ANY DISPUTE OVER THE VALIDITY OF ANY PARTY'S INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS; (3) ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM ALLEGATIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH UNAUTHORIZED USE, THEFT OR PIRACY OF SERVICE; (4) ANY
DISPUTE THAT ARISES BETWEEN IOvAGE AND ANY STATE OR LOCAL REGULATORY
AUTHORITY OR AGENCY THAT IS EMPOWERED BY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAW TO
GRANT A FRANCHISE UNDER 47 U.S.C. ? 522(9); AND (5) ANY DISPUTE THAT YOU ARE
PERMITTED TO PURSUE BEFORE THE LOCAL FRANCHISE AUTHORITY UNDER THE TERMS OF
THE FRANCHISE.
- Continuation: This Arbitration Provision shall survive the
termination of your service with IOvAGE.
10. Miscellaneous
- Contacting Us: For any inquiries or notices required in
connection with this Agreement, you may contact us via e-mail at

IOvAGE may designate) or in writing to IOvAGE , Attn:
Customer Service, P.O. Box 180695 , Utica, MI 48318-0695.
- Notice: IOvAGE may deliver any required or desired notice to you
by posting it on the Service's web site at
www.IOvAGE.net or on another web site about which you have been
notified, or by sending notice via e-mail, first class U.S. postal mail, or
overnight mail to your physical address of record or the e-mail address on
IOvAGE's account records. You agree that any one of the foregoing will
constitute sufficient notice. Because we may from time to time notify you
about important information regarding the Service and the Agreement by these
methods, you agree to regularly check your postal mail, e-mail and all
postings on the Service's web site at www.IOvAGE.net or on another web site about which you have been
notified and bear the risk of failing to do so.
- Changes to the Service and the Agreement: IOvAGE may, in it sole
discretion, change, add to or remove portions of the Service (including
without limitation content, functionality, hours of availability, equipment
requirements, speed, and upstream and downstream rate limitations) at any
time without notice. In addition, we may amend or modify this Agreement at
any time in our sole discretion upon thirty (30) days prior notice to you.
We will notify you of any such amendments or modifications as set forth in
Section 10(b) above. You agree that any one of the foregoing will constitute
sufficient notice of these changes. Your continued use of the Service
following notice of these changes shall be deemed to be your acceptance of
any the changes. If you do not agree to any changes, you must immediately
stop using the Service and notify IOvAGE that you are terminating this
Agreement. You will then be entitled to a refund of any unused portion of
any monthly service fee for the Service that has been paid by you in advance
(less any outstanding amounts due IOvAGE for equipment or other applicable
fees and charges). You may not amend or modify this Agreement without
IOvAGE's prior written consent, which we may provide or withhold in our
sole discretion. Any attempt by you to amend or modify this Agreement by any
other means, including but not limited to, a check notation, a restrictive
endorsement, or a note with a payment, is invalid and unenforceable.
- No Relationship: Nothing in this Agreement will create any joint
venture, joint employer, franchisee-franchisor, employer-employee or
principal-agent relationship between IOvAGE, any content, backbone,
network, circuit and other technology or communications providers, software
and other licensors, hardware and equipment suppliers or other third party
providers of elements of the Service, nor impose upon any such companies any
obligations for any losses, debts or other obligations incurred by the
other.
- Assignment: IOvAGE may assign its rights and obligations under
this Agreement, without notice, to (i) any affiliate of IOvAGE, (ii) to any
party (or its affiliate) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets or
stock, by merger or otherwise, of IOvAGE or any affiliate of IOvAGE, or
(iii) to any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring the IOvAGE
system serving the Premises. This Agreement may not be assigned or
transferred by Customer without IOvAGE's prior consent.
- General: This Agreement and all exhibits hereto constitute the
entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the
subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede and replace any and all
prior written or verbal agreements. In the event that any portion of this
Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be
construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect
the original intentions of the parties and the remainder of the provisions
shall remain in full force and effect. IOvAGE's failure to insist upon or
enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be
construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of
conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any
provision of this Agreement.
