WALNUT HILL will give Customer thirty (30) days’ advance notice in writing of any changes in the terms and conditions of this agreement. Customer hereby agrees to accept such future changes as amendments to this agreement.

CONTRACT PERIOD
The initial contract period shall commence on the first day that Customer receives service (date is shown under “Other Charges and Credits” in Internet section of Customer’s first bill) and shall terminate exactly 24 months (as specified on the reverse side) thereafter. If Customer discontinues service before the contract expiration date, a termination fee will apply. Termination fee includes, but is not limited to, the $185.00 Early Termination Fee, plus any charges associated with the remaining monthly recurring charges identified in the contract, and or equipment charges as applicable. After expiration of Customer’s initial contract period, Customer’s WALNUT HILL’s High-Speed Internet Service agreement will be renewed automatically on a month-by-month basis. Customer must notify WALNUT HILL Communications in writing thirty (30) days before the expiration date of the current contract period if Customer does not want the agreement to be renewed automatically for the next month.

BILLING OF SERVICE
Customer agrees to pay the amount stated on the front of this agreement by the due date shown on Customer’s monthly bill. Monthly recurring charges are billed one month in advance. The installation fee, any applicable equipment charges, prorated monthly recurring charges from date of installation, and monthly recurring charges for the first full month of service will be included in the initial billing. If Customer’s installation fee and/or recurring charges are paid in advance, that amount will be credited to Customer’s first bill. Customer is responsible for all charges within the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement.
All bills are due and payable on or before the 20th of each month. If Customer’s payment is received after that date, a delinquent notice will be mailed to Customer indicating a disconnection-of-service date. If Customer does not pay such amounts when due, Customer may be billed a late payment charge up to the maximum allowed by law. Any promotional rate (promo) or special pricing will be terminated for the remainder of the contract term due to any disconnect for non-pay.
NOTE: there will be a monthly $2.50 paper statement fee, unless customer signs up for paperless option. Ask office for details.
NOTE: please be aware any requested onsite visit will result in additional charges if issue is deemed to be originating from customer owned equipment or wiring.

DISCONNECTION OF SERVICE
Customer may discontinue service upon written notification to WALNUT HILL, after which Customer will still be subject to payment of all applicable charges. No initial charges shall be refunded once WALNUT HILL has accepted this contract. WALNUT HILL has the right to discontinue Customer’s service without notice if payment is more than approximately 30 days in arrears, if Customer fails to honor the terms of this agreement, if Customer violates the rules or regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), or if Customer uses the designated service for unlawful or prohibited purposes. If Customer’s service is disconnected for nonpayment of Customer’s bill, a reactivation fee may apply if the service is resumed. Customer will be liable for any costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to collection of the amounts owed.

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
Based upon network availability, WALNUT HILL’s High-Speed Internet Service is a “best efforts” service that can provide Downstream speeds ranging from 2 Mbps to 100 Mbps, based upon the package selected by Customer. The actual speeds experienced by customers may vary and depend on several factors, including, but not limited to, customer location, destination on the Internet, traffic on the Internet, interference with a high frequency spectrum on the customer’s telephone line, and other devices that may be attached to the same cable pair. No minimum level of speed is guaranteed.
Maximum speeds MAY require additional equipment on certain speed plans.

UNLAWFUL OR PROHIBITED SERVICE USE
Customer is personally responsible for all use of the service under Customer’s ID, even if a second party is allowed to use the ID. Enrolling or using any ID on the service under a name other than that to which the ID is assigned is prohibited. Customer agrees that WALNUT HILL’s High-Speed Internet Service and Customer’s ID will not be used for illegal, fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise prohibited purposes. If WALNUT HILL has reason to believe the service provided is being used for unlawful or prohibited purposes, WALNUT HILL may discontinue or deny the service and/or report such use to law enforcement authorities. WALNUT HILL provides High-Speed Internet Service on a retail basis to Customer. Customer agrees to utilize the service exclusively and to not provide access to third parties, either through “sharing” or “resale.” Provision to a third party of Web Page Hosting and Caching is prohibited with Customer’s WALNUT HILL’s High-Speed Internet Service connection.
