RESIDENTIAL SERVICE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AGREEMENT

(All Customers Other Than FTTH Customers in Virginia)

This Service Terms and Conditions Agreement (“Service Agreement”), consisting of these terms and conditions, the COS (as defined below) and all other documents referenced herein, is entered into as of the date set forth on the COS by and between Virginia Everywhere, LLC (d/b/a All Points Broadband) (“We,” “Us,” “Our,” or “Provider”) and the individual or entity named on the COS to which this Agreement is attached (“You,” “Your” or “Customer”) and sets forth the terms and conditions under which We will provide the services Customer has elected to receive (collectively, the “Service”). This Service Agreement governs both residential and business Customers. “Affiliate” means an entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Provider.

By using the Service, You agree to be bound by the terms of this Service Agreement and all documents incorporated by reference herein, including without limitation Our Privacy Policy, Open Internet Policy, Website Terms of Use Agreement and Additional Terms (terms and conditions that will govern a new service offering) as each may be amended from time to time. If there is a conflict between this Service Agreement and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms shall govern.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.

We regularly update and amend this Service Agreement, the Privacy Policy, the Open Internet Policy, the Website Terms of Use Agreement and other documents incorporated by reference in this Service Agreement. Provider will communicate any such updates or amendments to You in accordance with Section 16(g). You may obtain, at no charge, a copy of the current Service Agreement or any documents incorporated by reference herein by visiting Our website or by contacting Us.

2. Equipment and Requirements for Provision of the Service

A . Customer Equipment. To use the Service, You must have a personal computer or other Internet-capable device and other equipment meeting Provider’s most recent “Minimum Customer Equipment Specifications,” which We may modify from time to time, and which You may obtain by emailing [email protected] or on Our website. The Minimum Customer Equipment Specifications may change, and We may make reasonable efforts to support previously acceptable configurations; however, We are not obligated to continue to provide such support. Although We are under no obligation to do so, We may, and You authorize Us to, perform any updates and/or changes to Your equipment, on-site or remotely, from time to time as We deem necessary, in Our sole discretion. We do not provide technical assistance for thirdparty hardware or software except as provided for via Our IT Support Services. You will direct any questions concerning third-party hardware or software to the manufacturer. Except as set forth below with respect to Provider Equipment and Our IT Support Services as mentioned above (and in Section 10(h) herein), We have no responsibility for the operation or support, maintenance or repair of any equipment, software or services that You elect to use in connection with the Services. As set forth below and in the Device Attachment Rules in the Open Internet Policy, You are not permitted to connect any harmful equipment to the Provider Equipment (as defined below). You understand that failure to comply with this restriction may cause damage to Our network and subject You to liability for damages and/ or other liability.

You agree that the Provider Equipment was installed at a location and in a manner authorized by You. The Provider Equipment is and shall remain the property of Provider.

ii. Unless the COS indicates the Provider Equipment Assurance Plan is “Included,” beginning on the date of installation of the Service and for a one-year period thereafter, Provider provides a limited warranty against any defect in materials or workmanship in the Provider Equipment that is warranted by the manufacturer of such Provider Equipment. During this one-year period, in the event there is a problem with the Provider Equipment, that is, as determined by Provider in its sole discretion, not a result of action or inaction on the part of You, that cannot be corrected either over the telephone or onsite, Provider will, as its sole obligation and Your sole remedy for such problem, repair or replace such Provider Equipment at Provider’s expense. This warranty expressly excludes defects in the Provider Equipment caused by acts of nature (such as, but not limited to, lightning damage), damage from misuse or neglect, water damage, damage caused by Your failure to comply with Section 2(d) herein or damage or other disruption caused by Your failure to comply with the last sentence of Section 2(a) herein.

Customer understands, acknowledges and agrees that prior to Provider servicing any Customer equipment or Provider Equipment under contract with Customer, it is Customer’s responsibility to (A) back-up the data, software, information or other files stored on Customer’s computer or other device including but not limited to disk drives, peripherals, MP3 player, DVD player, camcorder, digital camera and/or on any other electronic storage device; and (B) remove all videotapes, compact disks, floppy disks, laser disks, cassettes, DVDs, film or other media from Customer’s equipment.

For purposes of clarification, Provider and its Affiliates hereby disclaim any and all responsibility and liability for any damages that may arise from Your failure to procure or install the aforementioned security or other software and/or hardware and You agree that Provider and its Affiliates shall have no liability for Your failure to do the same.

4. The Service and Privacy

A . Provider has established a Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), which governs Provider’s collection, use, disclosure, management and security related to Customer’s personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”). Customer agrees that Customer received a copy of the then-in-effect Privacy Policy at the time Customer executed this Service Agreement. Subject to, Section 16(g) herein, Provider may update or amend the Privacy Policy at any time without Customer’s prior consent. Provider will, however, provide notice of any such changes or amendments as stated in Our Privacy Policy. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Your continued use of the Service after notice of any changes or amendments have been provided will indicate Your acceptance of such changes, except where further steps are required by applicable law. All such updates or amendments shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Service Agreement.

B . Provider has no obligation to monitor content transmitted by use of, or other information related in any way to the provision or receipt of, the Service. However, Customer agrees that Provider has the right to monitor the Service and any and all information or Customer Material transmitted through the Service or by use of the Provider Equipment and information available to Provider regarding Customer’s computer and other equipment in accordance with this Agreement. Provider has the right at all times and without notice to remove, restrict access to or make unavailable any information or content residing on Provider’s or its Affiliates’ or operational service providers’ servers. Provider has the right to monitor, review, retain or disclose any content or other information in Provider’s possession about or related to Customer (including, without limitation, Customer Information), Customer’s use of the Service, or otherwise, as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, or otherwise as Provider deems necessary or appropriate in Provider’s sole discretion.

C. Customer authorizes Provider to make inquiries and to receive information about Customer’s credit history from others and to utilize such information in its decision regarding its provision of the Service to Customer.

D. Provider may require that Customer use a username and password combination or other reasonable procedures to confirm Customer’s identity when requesting or otherwise accessing account information, making changes to the Service or performing other functions related to the Service through Provider’s authorized Customer service channels. Customer may also choose to designate an authorized user of Customer’s account (an “Authorized User”), who will be permitted to access Customer’s account information and make certain changes to Customer’s account. Customer will be solely liable for any and all action or inaction by any Authorized User.

5. Passwords

A . Residential accounts are for individual use only. Business accounts are for authorized personnel only.

B . Residential Customers shall not share passwords or accounts with others. Business Customers shall only provide passwords to authorized personnel.

C . Provider may provide or obtain passwords to protect Customer’s account and Services. In the event that the security of a Customer’s account or Service is compromised, Provider will provide Customer with a new password.

D. A Customer with an insecure password may be directed to change the password to one which complies with Provider’s requirements then in effect.

6. System Security

A . Customer is solely responsible for maintaining the security of Customer’s computer(s)/device(s) and data and protection of Customer’s User ID, password and Personal Information and other data. Provider strongly recommends the use and appropriate updating of commercial anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall software, and encryption of data, to the extent feasible.

B . Customer is prohibited from utilizing the Service to compromise the security or tamper with Provider’s system resources or accounts on any of Provider’s computers, routers, switches, servers, radios, modems, or any other equipment at Provider or at any other site. Use or distribution of tools designed for compromising security is prohibited. Examples of the tools include but are not limited to password guessing programs, cracking tools, and network probing tools. Any attempt to access any of Provider’s corporate assets is strictly prohibited.

C . Provider reserves the right to release the login names of Customers involved in violating system security to system administrators at other sites, in order to assist them in resolving security incidents. Provider will also fully cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating suspected lawbreakers, subject to Provider’s Privacy Policy and applicable law.

7. Acceptable Usage And Prohibited Internet Service Activities

A . “Acceptable Usage of Internet Service” is hereby defined as the normal activities associated with the use of the Internet, including but not limited to usage of Provider’s systems and network facilities for accessing the World Wide Web, Internet Relay Chat, USENET Newsgroups, Email, and other Internet features. Depending on the account type, this may include file storage on Provider’s servers for Customer’s own personal email, web page and file access area (FTP), etc.

B. “Prohibited Internet Service Activities” specifically prohibited by Provider include but are not limited to the following:

i. Background and/or server-type applications – Including but not limited to IRC bots, HTTP servers, MUDs, and any similar processes, unless We specifically agree.

ii. Long-term storage of data – Long-term storage of data is referred to as the storage of files which are not used regularly in an account for an extended period of time. This specifically includes, but is not limited to, programs such as shareware programs which the Customer may download to their account for purposes of transferring to their home computer(s)/device(s). Such programs should be removed at such time as they are successfully transferred to the Customer’s personal system.

iii. Flooding or abuse of other users – Flooding is a fairly common occurrence on the Internet, and one which is dealt with strictly by Provider. Flooding takes place in numerous ways, including, but not limited to, ICMP flooding, mail bombing (sending large amounts of email repeatedly to a person for purposes of harassment), mass mailings to multiple addresses, MSG/CTCP flooding on IRC, as well as other, less common methods.

iv. Attempts to compromise system and/or network security – Programs such as packet sniffers, password crack programs, and similar utilities found to be running from Customer’s account are prohibited. This also includes attempts to hack into non-Provider systems.

v. Sharing of accounts – Sharing Customer’s Internet Service with another party for purposes of avoiding payment for a second Service is strictly prohibited. Customer may connect multiple computers/devices within a single location to Customer’s modem, router, and/or radio to access the Internet Service, but only through a single Provider-issued IP address.

vi. Attempts to bypass resource usage limitations – In order to provide fair service to all Customers, Provider has implemented certain resource limitations, the three most common being disk quotas on the servers, idle and session time-outs, and speed limits on broadband. Attempts to bypass disk usage quotas by any means may result in immediate loss of system privileges. Attempts to bypass the idle and session time-outs as well as speed limits are also prohibited. The current idle time-out limit is twenty minutes. The current session time-out limit is eight hours.

vii. Conducting business through a personal residential account – The residential single-Customer Internet accounts provided by Provider are designed for the home/casual Customer and may not provide the level of service, capacity or speed required for conducting business. Therefore, conducting business with an residential account is not advisable. Please contact Provider’s sales department to upgrade to a business account.

viii. Excessive use of system resources – This includes, but is not limited to, the continued use of programs or commands which take a large amount of system resources, be that processor time, memory, network bandwidth, and/or drive space on the host system. Customer may not resell Service.

ix. Email abuse – Email abuse typically comes in one of three forms, the transfer of a message to unsolicited individuals, the sending of harassing and/or threatening messages to other users, and the forging of email addresses so as to make the email appear to be from another user.

x. Other abusive behavior – Similar to email abuse, includes forging of addresses, harassment/threats, the posting of the same message to multiple newsgroups (spamming), as well as the posting of information in groups where it is not relevant and unwanted.

xi. Pyramid/money-making schemes – Such activities as the transfer of information or solicitation of persons via the Internet in an attempt to extort money or other valuables or the use of pyramid/chain letters are all prohibited.

xii. Pirated software – Pirated software is defined as the illegal exchange of software for purpose of avoiding the purchase of said software by the individuals involved. This includes most commercial applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc. Such activities are prohibited by Federal law and are thus not allowed in any form on Provider. Such prohibition also includes the unauthorized copying of copyrighted material including, but not limited to digitization and distribution of photographs from magazines, books, or other copyrighted sources and copyrighted software. The exportation of software or technical information in violation of U.S. export control laws is strictly prohibited.

xiii. High-traffic websites – Individual accounts on Provider machines are intended to provide access to individuals only. As most individual pages are fairly low-traffic, the performance for everybody on the systems is optimal. However, some individuals occasionally choose to put content on their pages which draws a large number of hits to their pages and thus degrade performance for other users’ pages. Due to this, Provider has had to implement certain limitations on the amount of traffic an individual Customer‘s home page can receive. Typically a page can safely transfer 250 MB per day without causing excessive load on the host system. Sites generating more than this must be moved to Provider’s Web Hosting service, where Provider is better able to deal with the extra traffic.

8. Penalties for Violations of Service Agreement

A . If Customer engages in any Prohibited Internet Service Activities as defined in Section 7 herein, Customer’s account will be subject to immediate termination and Customer may be subject to any and all criminal and civil penalties available under the law. The penalties imposed on Customer for such violations will vary based on the level of the offense. Typically Customer will receive a warning on the first offense. However, if the offense is severe enough, Provider reserves the right to disable the account immediately. Accounts which have been disabled for abuse will not be re-opened. It is vital for Provider to provide a quality service for all Customers, and Provider will not tolerate Customers who through their actions hinder Us in that endeavor. It is also important for Provider to have a non-intrusive presence to the rest of the Internet, and thus prohibit activities that adversely affect customers of other service providers and their associated networks. To this end, Provider reserves the right to modify and/or disable Service at any such time the Customer violates this Service Agreement.

B. Provider will not reimburse Customer when Service has been suspended or disabled due to violations of this Service Agreement.

C. If Service is disconnected for non-payment, We are not obligated to re-connect Your Service. However, if You desire re-connection, and We agree to do so, You agree to pay the then-applicable re-installment fee plus any amount past due under Your COS.

9. Software Licenses and Third Party Services

A . Provider may provide Customer software for use in connection with the Service which is owned by Provider or its third party licensors, third party suppliers, and Operational Service Providers (“Software”). Such software may be subject to an additional fee. Provider reserves the right periodically to update, upgrade, or change the Software remotely or otherwise and to make related changes to the settings and software on Customer’s computer(s)/device(s) or Equipment, and Customer agrees to permit such changes and access to Customer’s computer(s)/device(s) and Equipment. Customer may use the Software only in connection with the Service and for no other purpose.

B . Certain Software may be accompanied by an end user license agreement (“EULA”) from Provider or a third party. Provider’s use of the Software is governed by the terms of that EULA and by this Agreement, where applicable. Customer may not install or use any Software that is accompanied by or includes a EULA unless Customer first agrees to the terms of the EULA.

C . For Software not accompanied by a EULA, Customer is hereby granted a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license by Provider or its applicable third party licensor(s) or Operational Service Provider to use the Software (and any corrections, updates and upgrades thereto). Customer may not make any copies of the Software. Customer agrees that the Software is confidential information of Provider or its third party licensors/Operational Service Providers and that Customer will not disclose or use the Software except as expressly permitted herein. The Software contains copyrighted material, trade secrets, patents, and proprietary information owned by Provider or its third party licensors/Operational Service Providers. Customer may not de-compile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to discover any source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of the Software, otherwise reduce the Software to a human readable form, modify, rent, lease, loan, use for timesharing or service bureau purposes, reproduce, sublicense or distribute copies of the Software, or otherwise transfer the Software to any third party. Customer may not remove or alter any trademark, trade name, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols, or labels appearing on or in copies of the Software. Customer is not granted any title or rights of ownership in the Software. Customer acknowledges that this license is not a sale of intellectual property and that Provider or its third party licensors/Operational Service Providers continue to own all right, title and interest, including but not limited to all copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, and moral rights, to the Software and related documentation, as well as any corrections, updates and upgrades to it. The Software may be used in the United States only, and any export of the Software is strictly prohibited.

10. Your Payment Obligations

Failureto fulfill any payment obligations in a timely manner as provided herein will be considered to be a violation of this Service Agreement and Your COS.

A . Deposit. Prior to installation of the Service, You are required to pay the “Initial Deposit” set forth in the COS. At the time of installation of the Service, You are required to pay the “Installation Fee Due” and the “Partial Month Payment” set forth in the COS. Together, the Initial Deposit, the Installation Fee Due, the Partial Month Payment, and the Optional Installation Charges (if any) constitute the “Total Deposit”. You agree that the Total Deposit is to be paid in consideration of Provider’s making the Service available on the terms and conditions set forth in this Service Agreement, that Provider has earned the Total Deposit in full and that the Total Deposit is not refundable. If any portion of the Total Deposit remains unpaid at the time of execution of this Service Agreement, You will pay such amount promptly after execution of the Service Agreement.

B. You agree to pay the “Optional Installation Charges” (if any) set forth on the Supplemental Installation Order Form (if applicable), on or before the first day of Your “Monthly Billing Cycle”. Except as set forth on the COS, Your Monthly Billing Cycle begins on the first day of each month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider may modify Your Monthly Billing Cycle upon at least 15 calendar days’ advance notice to You.

C . You agree to pay the applicable “Monthly Equipment Assurance Fee” set forth on the COS, if any; provided, however, You may, on 10 calendar days’ advance notice to Provider, elect to discontinue participation in the “Equipment Assurance Plan” as then in effect, effective on the first day of Your next Monthly Billing Cycle, in which case this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended such that the COS indicates “Provider Equipment Assurance Plan Not Included”. If the COS indicates “Provider Equipment Assurance Plan Not Included,” You may, on 10 calendar days’ advance notice to Provider and payment of applicable fees, elect to commence or resume participation in the Equipment Assurance Plan as then in effect, provided, however, the Equipment Assurance Plan shall not apply, and the COS shall only be deemed not to indicate “Provider Equipment Assurance Plan Not Included” as of the first day of the second Monthly Billing Cycle commencing after such notice.

D. You agree to pay the applicable Monthly Service Fee and Monthly Equipment Assurance Fee, if any, (collectively the “Monthly Fees”), in advance, on or before the first day of the Your Monthly Billing Cycle. For each Monthly Billing Cycle with respect to which You do not pay on time (including without limitation if Your Monthly Fees are not received by Provider on or before the first day of the Monthly Billing Cycle), You agree to pay the “Billing Administrative Fee” as established by Provider from time to time. You and Provider specifically agree that the Billing Administrative Fee is not a late fee, but rather is intended to compensate provider for its additional expense incurred in processing irregular payments, and may be changed at any time without notice to You.

E. Provider shall not be obligated to provide the Service during Monthly Billing Cycles for which You have not paid the applicable Monthly Fees in advance. If at any time Your account has past due amounts or upon Your violation of this Agreement (including any documents incorporated by reference herein), Provider may, in Provider’s sole and absolute discretion, suspend provision of the Service to You and/or terminate this Agreement. Amounts are past due if not paid before the first calendar day of Your Monthly Billing Cycle. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Provider is not required to provide notice before suspending the Service and/or terminating this Agreement, and Provider will not be liable to You or any Authorized User for any such suspension or termination or any damages that may result therefrom.

E. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Provider may use various tools and techniques in order to efficiently manage its networks and to ensure compliance with Provider’s Open Internet Policy and Section 7 above (such tools and techniques, “Network Management Tools”).

13. Agreement to Arbitrate

A. YOU AND PROVIDER AGREE TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND PROVIDER. The agreement between You and Provider to arbitrate all disputes and claims between them is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between You and Provider, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising), claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which You are not a member of a certified class and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 13, references to “You” include Your subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all Authorized Users or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the Service. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND PROVIDER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

B. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice (“Arbitration Notice”). An Arbitration Notice to Provider must be addressed to Provider at the address set forth in this Service Agreement for notices. An Arbitration Notice to You must be addressed to You at Your then-current billing address. The Arbitration Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If You and Provider do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 60 calendar days after the Arbitration Notice is received, You or Provider may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Provider or You shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which You or Provider is entitled.

C. The arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and shall be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 or written request to the Provider. The arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are reserved to the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Unless You and Provider agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings shall take place in Loudoun County, Virginia. The right to a hearing shall be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The party initiating arbitration proceedings shall bear all the arbitration-related costs and expenses of both parties including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses.

D. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. YOU AND PROVIDER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both You and Provider agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

E . Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, You and Provider agree that if Provider makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the address to which an Arbitration Notice is to be sent), You may reject any such change by sending Provider written notice within 30 days of the change. By rejecting any future change, You agree that You will arbitrate any dispute between You and Provider in accordance with the language of this provision.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider, its Affiliates, Operational Service Providers, agents, third party licensors and suppliers and their respective members, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and contractors, and each of their successors and assigns (collectively, the “Provider Indemnitees”) from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and other claims brought against any Provider Indemnitee(s) related to Your use of the Service or any violation of this Service Agreement and all other documents incorporated herein by reference) including, but not limited to, claims that Your use of the Service infringed on the patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right of any third party, Your violation of any law or the rights of another and claims resulting from Your negligence. You agree to pay any attorneys’ fees incurred by Provider and/or any other Provider Indemnitee in connection with the defense of any such third-party claims. We reserve the right to assume the defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by You, in which event you will cooperate with Us in asserting any available defenses.

15. Termination of the Service

A . IF YOU CANCEL THE SERVICE OR ANY ASPECT THEREOF FOR ANY REASON, PROVIDER SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO REFUND YOU ANY PORTION OF THE MONTHLY FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE MONTH IN WHICH CANCELLATION OCCURS, UNLESS REQUIRED OTHERWISE BY STATE LAW.

B . You may terminate the Service at any time by following Provider’s then-in-effect cancellation procedures, or by calling Provider at Provider’s Customer service telephone number as set forth on Provider’s website provided, however, that Provider may take reasonable steps to verify Your identity and authority before effecting such termination, which steps may include, without limitation, requiring Your written confirmation of such termination before the same shall be effective, and provided further, that any termination request received later than the tenth calendar day before the first day of the Your Monthly Billing Cycle shall not be effective until the end of Your next full Monthly Billing Cycle. Upon termination, You agree to pay any account balance and any applicable Early Termination Fee, and to return any Provider Equipment or pay the Equipment Non-Return Fee as set forth in Section 2(b) herein.

C . The Service and all Service features are subject to availability on an ongoing basis. You understand that Provider may cease to offer the Service or any Service feature at any time, for any reason or no reason, and without notice to You. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Provider may suspend, disconnect or terminate the Service at any time without prior notice if Provider believes in its sole discretion that You have (i) failed to pay Your bill when due, (ii) threatened or harassed any Provider employee, agent or contractor or (iii) violated the AUP or any other provision of this Agreement.

D. If the Service to You is disconnected for any reason or Service is suspended in accordance with this Agreement, Provider may charge You (i) for Service during the period of disconnection or suspension in accordance with applicable federal and state law and (ii) reasonable disconnection and reconnection fees.

E . In the event that Your account is suspended, disconnected or terminated, no refund, including of fees paid by You to Provider, shall be granted. Moreover, Provider shall not be responsible for the return of data stored on Provider’s servers, including web and email servers. You agree that Provider has no obligation to visit Your home upon termination to reconfigure Your computer(s) or for any other reason.

F. Sections 3 through 7, and 10 through 16 herein shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

F. Provider’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Service Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Service Agreement shall, to any extent, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Service Agreement shall not be affected and each remaining term, covenant, condition and provision shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law or construed as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties.

G . Provider may change, amend, alter, or modify this Service Agreement at any time. Provider may notify Customer of any change either by posting that change on Provider’s website (allpointsbroadband.com), or by sending Customer an email or notification by U.S. mail. If Customer continues to use the Service after such notice has been made, Customer agrees that such continued use shall be deemed to be Customer’s acceptance of those changes. The current version of this Service Agreement, as the same may be modified by Provider from time to time, shall supersede any prior version of this Service Agreement that may have been provided to Customer at any time.

H . Except as specifically set forth in this Service Agreement, any notices under this Agreement shall be effective as follows:

I. You may not assign this Agreement, or Your rights or obligations under this Service Agreement, without Provider’s prior written consent, and any purported assignment by You without such consent shall be void. Provider may transfer or assign any portion or all of this Service Agreement at any time without notice to You, and You waive any notice that may be required by law
