PLAN CREDITS, TAXES, CHARGES, FEES AND CHARGEBACKS.

6.1   Generally. Please note that all prices, taxes, surcharges, and fees are subject to change at any time. You are responsible for paying all charges for Your Account, including but not limited to toll -free, local, long distance, international, additional feature charges, 411 and operator assisted charges, and directory assistance charges, and for all taxes, surcharges, and fees imposed on you or us as a result of your use of the Service. Customers with a past due balance on previous or multiple accounts will be charged the full balance upon opening a new account or updating their credit card information on file. Actual Broadband LLC also reserves the right to charge termination and transfer fees consistent with each plan’s terms and conditions and as provided in this Agreement.

6.2   Taxes, Charges, and Fees. All fees for Services advertised or otherwise listed on the Website are exclusive of any federal, state, local sales, international excise, value-added, and similar taxes or fees and administrative or recovery fees or charges (collectively “Taxes and Fees”). You agree to pay all Taxes and Fees and/or similar liabilities, however denominated, that may now or hereafter be levied on the Services which are chargeable to or recoverable from customers by any federal, state, local, or international law or regulation, as well as any administrative and recovery fees and charges levied on the Services by Actual Broadband LLC, whether or not mandated by law or regulation. Should Actual Broadband LLC pay or be required to pay such liabilities (including any Taxes and Fees that were due but not charged or previously collected), You agree that Actual Broadband LLC may charge Your credit card on file for such payments upon receipt of an invoice and showing of indebtedness to Actual Broadband LLC.

 

6.3   Fraudulent Activity or Erroneous Charges. In the event of suspected fraudulent activity or erroneous charges on Your Account, You agree to contact Actual Broadband LLC as soon as possible. In many cases, Actual Broadband LLC can mitigate or correct fraudulent activity or erroneous charges without bank or credit card company intervention. If You suspect fraudulent activity or erroneous charges on Your Actual Broadband LLC Account, please contact Actual Broadband LLC customer support. When You contact customer support, please have the following information available: (a) Your name, contact information, Actual Broadband LLC Account telephone number in question, and security verification information; (b) the date that the Account in question was created; (c) the credit card account number used to open the Account; and (d) the total amount charged to the Account. If You do not contact Actual Broadband LLC within thirty (30) days after the suspected fraudulent activity or erroneous charges appear on Your Account, You waive Your rights to object to or challenge such activity or charges. Furthermore, if You request that Your bank or credit card company perform a chargeback without first contacting Actual Broadband LLC, and Actual Broadband LLC subsequently determines that the charges at issue are not erroneous, Actual Broadband LLC reserves the right to terminate Your Account immediately and take any available legal action. Notwithstanding the above, You are solely liable for any transactions or activities by You or anyone else that occur on Your Account, and in no event shall Actual Broadband LLC be liable for any unauthorized use of Your Account.

 

6.4    Discounts. From time to time in its sole discretion, Actual Broadband LLC may offer promotions or discounts. Any promotion or discount codes must be provided to Actual Broadband LLC upon purchase of the Services. You shall not be entitled to a subsequent credit for such promotions or discounts if You do not request such credit at the time of Account creation or change of service. Promotions and/or discounts may not be used cumulatively or be used for Services retroactively. If a promotion and/or discount is offered on a confidential basis, You agree not to disclose the promotion and/or discount and to assume full responsibility for any harm, direct or indirect, caused to Actual Broadband LLC by the disclosure of the promotion and/or discount.

BILLING AND PAYMENT.

Any applicable initiation charges, usage, monthly recurring charges, support charges, and other fees are billed in full in advance. Termination, international calling, equipment return fees and transfer charges, if any, are billed in arrears. Upon termination of Your Account for any reason, all unused Plan Credits, and international calling credits shall expire in their entirety on the termination date. No refund, transfer or proration shall be made of any unused Plan Credits, Additional Credits, Promotional Credits, or international calling credits or of any remaining periods/months on any Service plan.

When You subscribe to Services, You will provide us with a payment method, such as a valid credit card (including proper billing information), and, if applicable, authorize us to collect from Your payment method. Any authorization will remain valid until thirty (30) days after You terminate our authority to charge Your payment method. Upon termination, we will charge You any fees and any other outstanding charges and disconnect Your service. You agree to advise and notify us of any changes to Your payment method, such as credit card account number or expiration date changes. If the credit card or other payment method on Your Account is declined or fails for any reason, Actual Broadband LLC will use reasonable efforts to contact You and advise You of the failed billing attempts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Actual Broadband LLC reserves the right to disconnect Your Service and terminate Your Account if Your credit card on file is declined or fails for any reason, and Actual Broadband LLC reserves the right to continue to attempt charging Your credit card for any outstanding Service charges and additional fees and pursue any other legal remedies available to Actual Broadband LLC.

7.1   Time is of the essence for payment. Therefore, You agree to pay us interest at the lesser rate of (a) 18% per annum or (b) the highest rate allowed by law for any amounts unpaid as of the due date. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “Paid in Full”) shall not waive any of Actual Broadband LLC’s rights to collect the full amount due. We may assess an additional fee of the lesser of (a) fifty dollars ($50) or (b) the highest amount allowed by law for any credit card chargeback or check returned for nonpayment.

 


7.2   Billing cycle end dates may change from time to time. When a billing cycle covers less than or more than a full month, we may make reasonable adjustments and prorate the charges to Your Account.

 


You must dispute any charges for the Services in writing to Actual Broadband LLC within thirty (30) days of the date of the charge by Actual Broadband LLC. If You fail to provide a written statement explaining in reasonable detail Your reasons for disputing the charge within such time period, You hereby irrevocably waive any objection and further recourse with regard to such charges.

EQUIPMENT RETURN POLICY.

You are responsible for all return shipping charges for any hardware returned to Actual Broadband LLC for any reason, including situations in which hardware is covered under warranty. If You have purchased any hardware from us or we have otherwise provided You with any hardware and Your Account is terminated for any reason, You hereby authorize us to immediately bill your credit card the appropriate equipment return fees, as set forth below.

If You cancel Your Actual Broadband LLC Service within ninety (90) days from the date of purchase of the hardware, You may (a) keep the hardware and pay the list price minus the actual price paid for the hardware, excluding taxes, or (b) return Your hardware and receive a full refund. No returns are accepted after ninety (90) days from the date of purchase of the hardware. In addition, the following terms and charges apply to hardware returns:

 


You agree to pay all shipping and handling charges related to any hardware returns.

 


All hardware must be fully functional, include all components, manuals, peripheral devices, and all other accessories that were originally shipped with the hardware. At our discretion, we may decline Your return or charge You an additional fee of thirty dollars ($30) for each missing item or for each item that we determine is damaged or not in good working condition.

 

Before returning any hardware that has data in its memory, please transfer all files You wish to retain to another file source. Once the hardware is returned, Your files cannot be recovered and You release us of any liability for any lost, damaged, or destroyed files, data, or other information.

 

ACCOUNT OWNERSHIP.

The Account owner shall be the legal entity (e.g., corporation, partnership, individual) that signs up for the Services with Actual Broadband LLC. If no legal entity is provided upon sign-up, the Account owner shall be the owner of the credit card used to open the Account. Subsequent changes to ownership must be supported by appropriate legal documentation. Actual Broadband LLC shall not adjudicate ownership-related disputes, or any other internal business dispute. If Actual Broadband LLC is unable to determine the valid owner of the Account, Actual Broadband LLC reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Account and Services.

 


NUMBER PORTING AND AVAILABILITY.

Actual Broadband LLC will use reasonable efforts to facilitate number transfers or port requests for You, provided that You comply with the necessary and specific procedures for porting between service providers.

You acknowledge and understand that number porting depends on the cooperation of third parties outside of Actual Broadband LLC’s control. Accordingly, You agree that Actual Broadband LLC will not be liable for the failure or delay of any third party to cooperate in the porting of any telephone number, or for the allegedly unauthorized porting of any telephone number by a third party.

Actual Broadband LLC works with third party carrier(s) who, on Actual Broadband LLC’s behalf, port telephone numbers in accordance with applicable Regulatory Rules and Industry Guidelines. Actual Broadband LLC’s third-party carrier(s) require very specific and detailed information and requirements when completing a port request. Please be informed that You will be required to provide such detailed and specific information to complete a port request.

Number porting is defined and regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Visit http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/NumberPortability to learn more about number porting.

Actual Broadband LLC cannot guarantee requested telephone numbers will be available, that Your existing provider will port Your number, or that circumstances beyond Actual Broadband LLC’s control will not prevent or delay a successful port of Your number for the Services. You should not order any printed material, such as business cards or stationery, showing a telephone number, or issue any press releases or otherwise publicize any telephone number until that telephone number becomes active on Your Account. Actual Broadband LLC shall not be liable for reimbursement for press releases, business cards, and/or stationery under any conditions.

You understand and agree that Actual Broadband LLC may from time to time need to change the telephone or facsimile number assigned to You (due to an area code split or for any other reason). Actual Broadband LLC shall not be liable for any damages (including consequential, special damages or other damages) to You in the event that it needs to assign You a new telephone or facsimile number.

 


STORAGE OF USER INFORMATION.

Actual Broadband LLC is not obligated to store Your communications logs, voicemails, faxes, e-mails, or other messages and does so only as a convenience to You. You agree that Actual Broadband LLC has no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the deletion or failure to store any call log information, voicemails, faxes, e- mails, messages, and/or other communications maintained or transmitted by the Services. In addition, You specifically agree and acknowledge that to the extent that You use our HIPAA services, any stored messages will be deleted on or after thirty (30) days.  You acknowledge and agree that Actual Broadband LLC may establish limits as to the size of communications that Actual Broadband LLC transmits or stores and the duration for which Actual Broadband LLC stores any communications.

SERVICE CHANGES.

You understand and agree that Actual Broadband LLC may make upgrades or changes to the Services which will not materially diminish the functionality of the Services without prior notice to You. In the event that a change to the Services would, in Actual Broadband LLC’s reasonable discretion and judgment, permanently and materially diminish or impair the functionality of the Services (a “Change”), Actual Broadband LLC shall provide You with written notice of such Change at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the Change will take effect. If the Change is unacceptable to You, You may terminate the Services without penalty by calling Actual Broadband LLC. Any use of the Services after the effective date of Change will be deemed Your acceptance of the Change.

ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR Actual Broadband LLC VOIP SERVICE.

Actual Broadband LLC Office plans include one or more Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) lines included in Your Services.  Services for the VoIP line(s) will be referred to as “VoIP Service”, for which the following additional terms shall apply:

13.1          Grant of Rights. Actual Broadband LLC grants You a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license, and right to use each VoIP line exclusively with one user under Your Account, subject to all the other terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, if You want to allow multiple users to use the VoIP Service, You will need to purchase at least one VoIP line for each user.

13.2          Equipment. To use the VoIP Service, You may need to purchase phones, headsets, or other equipment (collectively, “Equipment”). All Equipment shipments are F.O.B. Actual Broadband LLC’s shipping distributor facility. Actual Broadband LLC’s liability for delivery shall cease, and title to such Equipment (if applicable) and all risk of loss or damage shall pass to You upon delivery to the shipping carrier.

All equipment obtained from Actual Broadband LLC in connection with VoIP Service is subject to the Equipment Return Policy above. You understand and acknowledge that if You purchase an annual service plan and You cancel the Services plan prior to the end of Your initial term, cancellation or termination fees, or phone, hardware, and other equipment fees may apply in accordance with the terms and conditions of Your plan. You hereby authorize Actual Broadband LLC to charge Your credit card, and You hereby agree to be liable for any and all such fees, costs, and charges. 

13.3          VoIP 911 Service. Actual Broadband LLC VoIP 911 Service (“VoIP 911 Service”) operates differently than traditional 911 service. We are required by the FCC to advise you of the circumstances under which 911 may not be available or may be in some way limited by comparison to traditional 911 service. Such circumstances include:

Internet Connection Failure. If the connection to the wired broadband Internet over which Your Actual Broadband LLC VoIP Service is provided is interrupted, You would not have access to Actual Broadband LLC VoIP Service during that interruption and therefore will not have access to VoIP 911 service during that interruption.

 


Number Flexibility & Service Portability. Traditional 911 service automatically sends Your 911 call to the appropriate local emergency responder, or Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”), based on Your telephone number. Traditional Enhanced 911 service (also known as E911) automatically sends Your 911 call to the appropriate PSAP along with Your registered address and telephone number. Because the Actual Broadband LLC VoIP Service permits You to obtain a telephone number that does not correspond to Your geographic location (for example, You may obtain a Actual Broadband LLC VoIP telephone number with a California area code even if You do not have a California address) and allows You to use Actual Broadband LLC VoIP Service anywhere You have wired broadband Internet, the VoIP 911 Service functions differently than traditional 911 service in certain respects:

 

Because Your address does not necessarily correspond with Your telephone number, You must provide Actual Broadband LLC with the street address(es) where You will be using Actual Broadband LLC VoIP Service (“Registered Location(s)”) when You sign up for service.

 

If You relocate any equipment (PC with softphone, IP phone, or ATA with traditional phone) that You use to access the VoIP Service, You must update Your Registered Location(s). If You do not update your Registered Location(s), any 911 calls You make using the VoIP Service will be routed based on Your previously provided Registered Location and therefore may not be routed to the appropriate PSAP for Your new location.

 

In addition, because the VoIP Service will, where possible, automatically transmit Your Registered Location to the PSAP, You must update Your Registered Location to ensure that the VoIP Service transmits accurate location information to the PSAP.

 


Once You notify us of a change in Your Registered Location, there may be a delay in making the new Registered Location available to properly route 911 calls and advise PSAPs of Your new Registered Location.

 


In some parts of the country where direct routing to PSAPs is not available for VoIP 911 Service, the Service will route Your call to the National Emergency Call Center where trained agents will ask for the name, location, and telephone number of the person calling 911 and will contact the appropriate PSAP to send help. The call center will not automatically receive Your address and telephone number. In these situations, public safety response times may be delayed. As a result, there may be an additional delay before emergency services arrive.

 

Loss of Electrical Power. Unless You have a backup system to power Your wired broadband Internet connection and any equipment (PC with softphone, IP phone, ATA with traditional phone) that You use to access Your VoIP Service, You will not have phone service or 911 service during any power outage.

13.4             Registration of Physical Locations Required.  As discussed above, You must register the Registered Location where You will be using VoIP service for each VoIP phone line You use from Actual Broadband LLC (e.g., if You purchase Actual Broadband LLC Office with three VoIP lines, You must provide a Registered Location for each of the three VoIP lines). Actual Broadband LLC will obtain Your Registered Location as part of the service initiation process and will not provide VoIP Service until you have provided Your initial Registered Location. However, You must update Your Registered Location when You use Your VoIP Service from a new location. Regardless of what address You register, in some circumstances, such as unavailability of direct routing to PSAPs or the use of portable devices to access the VoIP Service, emergency calls will be routed to the National Emergency Call Center.

 

You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete Registered Location information to Actual Broadband LLC as part of the service initiation process and to update as soon as possible Your Registered Location with true, accurate, current, and complete information whenever You use Your VoIP Service from a new location. If You provide Registered Location information that is, or that Actual Broadband LLC suspects to be, false, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, Actual Broadband LLC has the right to suspend or terminate the Services and refuse any and all current or future use of all Services, or any portion thereof. Actual Broadband LLC will not, however, disable Your ability to make a 911 call during any service suspension.

You may update Your Registered Location by calling customer support. For purposes of 911 Dialing, You may only register one Registered Location for each VoIP line.

 


13.5          Notify All Users of 911 Limitations. You should inform all business colleagues, household residents, guests, and other persons who may be present at the physical location where You utilize the VoIP Service that 911 may not be available or may be in some way limited in comparison to traditional 911 service. Actual Broadband LLC will provide subscribers to VoIP services for which E911 service is provided stickers warning that “E911 Service May Be Limited or Not Available” for use with any VoIP equipment by mailing stickers to subscribers upon Service initiation. It is Your responsibility to place these stickers on the equipment You use to access VoIP Service. If You have not received a sticker, or You require additional 911 stickers, please contact customer support at 888-898-4591.

13.6          Disclaimer of 911 Liability. Actual Broadband LLC disclaims all responsibility for the conduct of PSAPs, the National Emergency Call Center, and all other third parties involved in the provision of emergency response services. Actual Broadband LLC does not have any control over PSAPs, the National Emergency Call Center, or other third parties and is therefore not responsible for whether they answer 911 calls made using the VoIP service, how they answer these calls, or how they handle or respond to these calls. Actual Broadband LLC relies on third parties to assist it in the provision of 911 service and disclaims any and all liability for acts or omissions by third parties in the provision of Actual Broadband LLC’s 911 service.

 

13.7          711 Calling. The VoIP Service allows You to dial 711 to reach Telecommunications Relay Services (“TRS”). TRS enables persons with hearing or speech disabilities to access the public telephone system and communicate with voice telephone users through a communications assistant at a TRS relay center. Because the VoIP Service allows You to use a phone number that may not reflect Your geographic location, 711 calls made using the VoIP Service may not be routed to the appropriate TRS center for Your geographic location.

 


PUBLICITY RIGHTS.

You agree that Actual Broadband LLC may identify You as a user of the Services in its business deals; press releases; marketing materials; electronic, printed, and broadcast advertising; newsletters; mailings; tradeshows; other promotional materials; on Actual Broadband LLC’s website; or any other third-party website where Actual Broadband LLC or its designated agents may promote the Services. You hereby grant Actual Broadband LLC and its agents an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty-free license (with right to sublicense) to use, reproduce, publish, and display Your name, trademarks, service marks, designs, logos, and symbols in connection with such purpose.

NON-DISPARAGEMENT.

You agree not to directly or indirectly through a third party engage in any conduct or make any communication (public or private) that disparages Actual Broadband LLC or the Applications or Services in any way. Such communications include, but are not limited to, publishing, posting, printing, disseminating, or otherwise making such disparaging statements on or through the Internet, in any blog, or through any other form of social media. You further agree not to solicit or encourage, directly or indirectly, any such statements, comments, or communications by any third-party. In accordance with the termination provisions below, Actual Broadband LLC may terminate Your access to the Applications or Services if You breach the requirements of this section.

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

Materials may be made available via the Service by third parties not within our control. We are under no obligation to, and do not, review content transmitted, sent, or received using the Applications or Services for purposes of determining copyright infringement.
