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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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

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.

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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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:
    1. American Arbitration Association ("AAA")
      335 Madison Ave., Floor 10
      New York NY 10017-4605
      1-800-778-7879
      www.adr.org
    2. Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Service ("JAMS")
      1920 Main Street, Suite 300
      Irvine, CA 92614
      (949) 224-1810
      www.jamsadr.com
    3. National Arbitration Forum ("NAF")
      P.O. Box 50191
      Minneapolis, MN 55405-0191
      1-800-474-2371
      www.arbitration-forum.com
  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Location of Arbitration: The arbitration will take place at a location, convenient to you, in the area where you receive the service from us.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.

  10. Continuation: This Arbitration Provision shall survive the termination of your service with IOvAGE.

10. Miscellaneous

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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
