2. Connection of Customer Premise Equipment and Wiring

a. Except when leased from, licensed from or otherwise provided by the Company, all premise equipment and wiring after the demarcation point is the property and responsibility of the property owner and account holder. The demarcation point may be outside or inside the premise and is typically the location where the Company’s network is terminated.

b. Customers may provide and install their own customer premise equipment and wiring after the demarcation point so long as no electronic or physical harm is caused to the Company’s network. Customer Premise Equipment and Wiring may be connected throughout the premise using coaxial, copper and fiber wiring or wireless technology.

c. Customers are not permitted to physically cut, improperly terminate, substantially alter or otherwise destroy the Company’s owned premise equipment and wiring before the demarcation point.

d. To protect the premise equipment and wiring from electronic or physical harm, signal leakage and other types of degradation, the Company may require that any premise equipment and wiring (including connectors, splitters, and other equipment used) meet reasonable technical specifications, not to exceed the technical specifications of such equipment installed by the Company. However, if the customer’s connection to, redirection of or rerouting of the premise equipment and wiring causes electronic or physical harm to the Company’s network, the Company may impose additional technical specifications to eliminate such harm.

e. The Company’s network is not represented as being adapted to the use of all customer premise equipment and wiring. The Company shall not be responsible for the through transmission of signals generated by the customer premise equipment or for the quality of or defects in, such transmission.

f. The Company shall not be responsible to the customer if changes in criteria in these Terms and Conditions or changes in any of the facilities, operations or procedures of the Company render any customer premise equipment and wiring obsolete, or requires modification of such equipment and wiring.

h. To protect the Company’s network and services furnished to the public, the customer premise equipment and wiring must comply with all applicable network protection criteria including those requirements in the National Electrical Code (NEC) and FCC regulations.

l. The Company shall not be responsible for any loss, damage, failure or impairment of service in connection with customer premise equipment and wiring. The Company’s liability is limited to that provided in these General Terms and Conditions.

m. The customer indemnifies and saves the Company harmless against claims for libel, slander, or infringement of patents arising from combining such customer premise equipment and wiring with the facilities of the Company.

n. Where the Company leases, licenses or otherwise provides equipment, such equipment is provided to customer for the term of service and solely for use in connection with lawfully receiving and using services. All such equipment remains the property of the Company. When service is cancelled or disconnected, the customer must return any such equipment to the Company during regular business hours, Monday through Friday (except holidays). The equipment must be returned to the Company in the same condition as installed or received, except for normal wear and tear. All such equipment must be returned to the Company’s business office or an alternative location designated by the Company at the time of cancelation or disconnection. If a customer is unable to travel to the Company’s business office or other designated location to return the equipment, the customer may request pick-up. Provision of pick-up service is solely at the Company’s option and the Company’s refusal or failure to provide pick-up service will not excuse the customer’s obligation to return equipment. If the Company agrees to provide pick- up service, pick-up will occur during the business week and only during regular business hours. There may be a fee for pick-up, which customer will be informed of when pick-up service is requested and will be payable at time of pick-up. If a customer fails to return equipment at the time of cancellation or disconnection of service, the customer may be liable to the Company for an equipment recovery fee as set forth in these Terms and Conditions.

o. The customer is responsible for the maintenance and safekeeping of all equipment placed in or on the customer’s premises.

2. Amount of Deposits

a. The amount of deposit required shall not be more than the maximum charge for two months service based on the average bill during the preceding twelve (12) months, or, in the case of new applicants for service, the average monthly bill for new subscribers within a similar customer class.

f. The Company will provide within ten (10) days of a customer request a receipt that contains information pertinent to that deposit.

3. Deposits and Collection Practice

a. The fact that a deposit has been made in no way relieves the applicant or customer from complying with the Company’s regulations as to advance payments and the prompt payment of bills; nor constitutes a waiver or modification of the regular practices of the Company providing for the discontinuance of service for non- payment of sums due the Company for services rendered.
