TERMS AND CONDITIONS

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE SET FORTH BY CENTRIC FIBER, LLC (COMPANY) FOR THE PERSON OR ENTITY WHO MAKES USE OF COMPANY'S INTERNET SERVICES AND / OR PRODUCTS (CUSTOMER) AND IS SUBJECT TO ACCEPTANCE BY COMPANY. CUSTOMER'S ACCEPTANCE IS LIMITED TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS OFFER.

1. SERVICE.

Company shall provide and Customer shall accept Internet
Service (all Internet related services provided by Company offered herein and
hereinafter are defined as Service or Internet Service) at the applicable rates
and charges, subject to the Terms and Conditions specified herein. Company
shall provide Customer with an Internet access account ID(s) and phone
number(s) by which Customer may use Company's Internet system. Customer shall
not have any proprietary right to the access account ID(s) and phone numbers(s)
provided to it by Company. Company reserves the right to revise, in its sole
discretion, the rates, Terms and Conditions upon at least 30 days' written
notice to Customer, such notice to be given at least 30 days' prior to the
beginning of the next billing period. Customer agrees to pay for Service
pursuant to such revised rates, Terms and Conditions, unless Customer
terminates Service in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Company
reserves the right to assign, designate or change access account ID(s) and
access phone number(s) when, in its sole discretion, such assignment
designation or change is reasonable or necessary in the conduct of its
business. Service is subject to transmission limitations caused by atmospheric,
topographical and any other like conditions. Additionally, Service may be
temporarily refused, limited, interrupted or curtailed due to government,
regulations or orders, system capacity limitations, limitations imposed by an
underlying communications carrier, or because of equipment modifications,
upgrades, repairs or reallocations or other similar activities necessary or
proper for the operation or improvement of Company's Internet system.

 

To support Company’s advanced fiber network, federal testing
regulations, and a superior customer experience, a Centric gateway is now
required for residential broadband service. 
If the gateway is unplugged or powered off, broadband service will be
interrupted.  For broadband services to
work, the Centric gateway is required to be plugged in.

 

Your broadband Internet access service performance can be
affected by a wide range of factors, many of which are beyond the control of
Centric. The capabilities of the server with which you are communicating, the
capacity of the network to which that server is attached, the distance and
number of routers (or "hops") between your device and the other
Internet end point you are contacting, and general congestion on the Internet
are common factors that can affect performance, regardless of your service
type. Other factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

Wired Services - Service performance may be affected by the
wiring inside your dwelling, the distance between your dwelling and a Centric
central office, the capabilities of your computer, and the applications you
use.

 

Wi-Fi Services – Centric makes no guarantees about Wi-Fi
service delivered with a Centric provided device.  Service performance may be affected by your
proximity to the device, the number of other users/devices connected, the
composition of the home/office where the device is located (wood, concrete,
etc.), radio frequency interference, the capabilities of your laptop, tablet or
other Wi-Fi capable device, and the applications you use.

 

Centric's Home/Commercial Wi-Fi service is designed to
provide customers with the highest speed available from the network at any
given point in time, subject to the many different factors discussed above that
can affect network performance.

 

2. USE OF SERVICE AND EQUIPMENT.

Service and equipment are furnished for use by Customer for
any lawful purpose. Customer warrants Customer is at least 18 years old.

 

3. CUSTOMER SERVICE REQUESTS BY ACCOUNT HOLDER ONLY.

A change or discontinuance of Service will be accepted only
from the account holder as shown on the application for Service.

OR MORE WILL BE CONSIDERED AN ADDITIONAL DAY. (3) THE CREDIT ALLOWANCE WILL BE
COMPUTED BY DIVIDING THE LENGTH OF THE SERVICE INTERRUPTION BY A STANDARD 30

FOR EACH INTERRUPTED ACCESS ACCOUNT ID. IN NO CASE WILL THE CREDIT EXCEED THE
FIXED MONTHLY CHARGES. (4) A CREDIT ALLOWANCE WILL NOT BE GIVEN FOR MISTAKES,
