"Service(s)" refer to any services you have agreed to obtain from us.
"Equipment" means any equipment or accessories you purchase or lease from us or those provided by us for use in any manner in connection with your Services. For ease of reference, Services and Equipment provided by Netacom shall be referred to in this document collectively as "Services."
"Promotional Terms" mean terms that apply to special offers from time to time. Promotional terms will be specified in your first bill message. Promotional terms may include a term commitment and an early termination fee in the event the service is not installed or maintained, or in the event you disconnect service prior to the end of the term.
"Service Order" means the form (whether paper or electronic, including on-line order forms), if any, in which you apply for or make changes to Services and may include the length of time you will subscribe to a Service, rate plans, access charges, fees, taxes and surcharges, choice of long distance carrier, and the Equipment you have selected.
2. Agreement and Acceptance. This Agreement incorporates by reference and you agree to be bound by the following, in this order of priority AND INCLUDING ANY CHANGES (SEE SECTION 23 BELOW):
You accept this Agreement when you do any of the following: (a) give us your written or electronic signature, (b) tell us orally or electronically that you accept (i.e., by clicking the "I Accept" button for on-line purchases or account changes), or (c) use any Services. If you have never used the Services before and do not wish to be bound by this Agreement, do not begin using them and notify us immediately. By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge that you are 18 years of age or older, are competent to enter into a contract with us, and are authorized to obtain Services or make changes to an existing account. You may obtain a copy of these Terms and any product-specific Terms and Conditions by visiting www.Netacom.com or by calling a service representative at 888-NETACOM. This Agreement supersedes any and all statements or promises made to you by any of our employees or agents. If you are a business customer with an existing contract, those contract terms will control.
3. Charges for Services and Taxes, Fees and Surcharges. You are responsible for paying all charges applicable to Services provided to you including, but not limited to, monthly recurring charges ("MRCs"), access charges, features, changes and moves to Services, Service repair visits and no-show charges, installation charges, IP address charges, billing charges, credit card surcharges, toll, long distance, and directory assistance, and any other usage-based charges at our current rates when used. In addition to the monthly recurring and usage-based charges, taxes, fees, surcharges, assessments and other charges apply to all Services and Equipment, including how those may change in the future. In certain service areas paper bills are available for a monthly charge.
All voice and circuit services are subject to Taxes, Fees, and Surcharges. Due to the complexity and plethora of them, we have grouped them into one line item on your bill, called "Taxes and Fees". This percentange can fluctuate but as of January 2020, the rate is 19%. As a courtesy to you this percentage will never go above 20%.
As a convenience to you, Company may include charges for third party services on your monthly bill. You should always review your bill carefully and contact the Company if you are unsure about a charge on your bill. Company also offers the ability to block third party charges from your monthly bill. This service is optional and free of charge, and if you are interested in adding a third party block to your account, call a Company representative at the number found at the top right hand corner of your statement to determine if your account is eligible. The block does not apply to Services provided by Netacom or its affiliates to which you subscribe.
4. Billing and Payment; Rate Increases. We will bill you the recurring and installation rates you were quoted for Services or those associated with the Services you use or ordered, with increases on notice. All recurring charges are billed one month in advance. Billing at a location will begin upon the earlier of (i) the Installation Date (which may be the date administrative access to certain software-based Services is granted to Customer); or (ii) 30 days after delivery of the applicable facility and/or equipment to the Customer premises (if the delay in connection of the facility and/or equipment is due to Customer or its agent); however, Company may choose to bill in full monthly increments with no proration for partial service periods when service either starts or ends in the middle of a billing cycle.
We reserve the right to back-bill you for Services actually used but not previously billed.
Payment in full is due no later than the due date indicated on your bill and we may apply a late fee and interest and other charges (including, but not limited to, collection fees) up to the maximum amount permitted by law. Returned checks, payment by phone, paper bills and other fees due to your choice of payment method or billing receipt may also be subject to fees. You agree to pay costs and fees, including but not limited to attorney fees, we incur to collect an unpaid balance from you.
If payment is not received by the due date, the service could be suspended at anytime on or after the 10th past due day, and can be subject to a re-activation fee.
Company may require you to authorize payment for Services by credit card or by debiting a bank account, and no additional notice or consent is required before we invoice the credit card or debit the bank account for all amounts due to us for any reason.
5. Credits and Deposits. Our agreement to provide you Services is subject to credit approval and, as such, you authorize us to ask credit-reporting agencies for credit information about you. We may, in our discretion, require you to submit a deposit as security for payment of charges. In the future, an additional deposit may be required if either the amount or number of Services is increased or your credit rating changes. Simple interest will be paid on the cash deposit for the period it is held by us and will be refunded if satisfactory credit has been established or upon termination of service (if no balance is due). We reserve the right to apply the deposit to any amount due and unpaid but the payment of a deposit in no way relieves you of paying your bills in a timely manner.
6. Termination by You
Pre-Installation. If you are a business customer and you terminate your order prior to the installation of Services, you will be required to pay a pre-installation cancellation charge equal to the greater of (i) three (3) months of MRCs; or (ii) our costs to other providers. You agree that this charge is a reasonable measure of the administrative costs and other fees incurred by us to prepare for installation.
After Installation. If you cancel your Services or a portion thereof after installation, you remain liable for payment of all outstanding charges for all Services you used and Equipment you purchased from us prior to termination and you will be charged for the full last month of Service with no proration or credit if you terminate Services prior to the last day of your billing cycle.
Fixed-Term Agreements. When you purchased your Service(s), you may have been required to commit to a term or a minimum monthly fee. EITHER YOU OR WE MAY ELECT NOT TO RENEW YOUR SERVICE BY PROVIDING NOTICE TO THE OTHER NO LATER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF THE FIXED TERM. IF NEITHER YOU NOR WE DELIVER A TIMELY NOTICE NOT TO RENEW, THE SERVICES WILL RENEW ON A MONTH-TO-MONTH BASIS. IF YOU TERMINATE SERVICES AFTER INSTALLATION DURING THE INITIAL OR RENEWAL TERM FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE, OR WE TERMINATE FOR CAUSE PURSUANT TO SECTION 7 BELOW, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY TO US AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO 100% OF THE MONTHLY RECURRING CHARGES ("MRCS") MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF MONTHS REMAINING IN THE THEN CURRENT TERM. OR IF YOU TERMINATE OR DISCONNECT LESS THAN THE ENTIRETY OF YOUR SERVICES SUCH THAT YOUR ACTUAL USAGE AT A LOCATION FALLS BELOW ANY MINIMUM MONTHLY CHARGE ("MMC") OR MINIMUM MONTHLY FEE ("MMF") FOR THAT LOCATION, YOU AGREE TO PAY AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE MMC OR MMF FOR EVERY MONTH REMAINING IN THE THEN CURRENT TERM ("LIQUIDATED DAMAGES").
YOU AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT OF TERMINATION BY YOU, THE ACTUAL DAMAGE TO NETACOM IS DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN AND THAT THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE REPRESENTS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT A PENALTY AND IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE ACTUAL REDUCTION IN THE VALUE OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT WE WILL SUSTAIN.
Month-to-Month Agreements. If no length of time is identified on the Service Order or you were not otherwise required to commit to a term, then the term is month-to-month and you or we may terminate at any time by providing notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination. You remain liable for payment of all outstanding charges for all Services you used and Equipment you purchased from us prior to termination and you will be charged for the full last month of Service with no proration or credit if you terminate Service prior to the last day of your billing cycle.
Bundled Services. Some plans may offer a discount if you sign up for bundled services and may require a term commitment. If you sign up for bundled services, you agree to maintain the bundled services for the applicable term. If you receive bundled services and you subsequently unbundle, terminate, or disconnect any of these Services, or we disconnect any of the Services, we may adjust the rates for the remaining Service(s) to the then current price.
Change in Location. A change in your service address or the location to which any Service is provided to you may constitute, at our sole discretion, termination of the Services or result in an increase in the prices you must pay for the Services. Furthermore, there maybe a move fee associated with moving your services to the new location.
Change to Another Carrier. We may deem a request by you to port your numbers as a request by you to terminate your Agreement. If you choose to port less than all of your numbers, or you leave any Services connected, we will continue to bill you for the numbers and/or Services still connected.
7. Termination by Us. Provisioning of the Service is subject to the availability of the requisite equipment and facilities. We may limit, interrupt, terminate or refuse to provide a Service if: (a) you do not honor any provision of this Agreement; (b) you use a Service in a manner that adversely affects other customers or harasses them, our employees, or others; (c) you use Service to engage in fraud or unlawful conduct or are suspected of doing so; (d) you modify your phone or any software residing thereon from the original manufacturer specifications, including for the purpose of accessing non-Netacom services; (e) you use Service in a manner that is excessive or unreasonable when compared to the predominant usage patterns of other customers on a similar service plan in your geographic area (and we may also implement charges or change you to the appropriate rate plan consistent with such use); (f) resell any Service; (g) for any other reason set forth in the relevant tariffs and price lists or terms and conditions; (h) you do not pay any amount to us or billed by us on behalf of others, including disputed amounts that Netacom determines are valid charges on your bills; (i) facilities or property associated with providing the Services have been condemned or use has been prohibited by the government in any manner; (j) you fail to acquire and maintain the rights of way or property access necessary for installation or maintenance of Services; (k) you are insolvent, have made an assignment for the benefit of credits or you have filed or had filed against you a petition for bankruptcy; or (l) we determine in our sole discretion that facilities are not technically or economically feasible. We may restore such interrupted or terminated Service, in our sole discretion, following your correction of the violation and payment of any amounts due, including any restoration charge we assess for restoring your Service.
8. Personal Identifiers. We assign telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, IP addresses, and other personal identifiers in connection with the Services. You have no proprietary right to any such identifiers, and we reserve the right to change them upon notice to you. In the event that we allow you to transfer a personal identifier to another party to obtain any Services we provide you, we reserve the right, prior to honoring the request for transfer, to charge a fee for the transfer and to collect any money owed for Services.
9. Disputed Bills. You must review bills in a timely manner. To dispute a bill, you must comply with the dispute resolution provisions in Section 10 and submit your dispute, in writing, within 60 days after the date on the bill. You must pay any undisputed portion while your dispute is investigated. You accept all charges on your bill not disputed within 60 days and must pay those charges.
10. Dispute Resolution. By utilizing Netacom's Services and agreeing to these Terms, you agree to the following dispute resolution procedures. You and Netacom agree to waive any right to a trial by jury in a court of general jurisdiction and any right to participate in a class action or consolidated action regarding a dispute as defined below. Specifically, you and Netacom agree to waive any right to pursue a dispute by joining a disputed claim with the disputed claim of any other person or entity or to assert a disputed claim in a representative capacity on behalf of anyone else in any lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding.

If you and Netacom are unable to resolve the dispute after 60 days from the date of receipt of the written dispute, you agree that either you or Netacom shall resolve the dispute in only one of two possible ways: (1) by seeking relief in small claims court, if appropriate under the applicable court's rules, in the city or county of the billing address reflected on your bill; or (2) by arbitration. This Section does not prohibit you from submitting any issue you have with Netacom to any federal, state or local governmental agency or public service commission which may be able to seek relief from Netacom on your behalf. If the dispute is regarding the charges for Services, you agree that if you do not seek relief in small claims court or by arbitration following the 60 day dispute period, then you will immediately begin paying the disputed amount that Netacom determines is valid, plus any charges that were not paid during the 60 day dispute period, or Netacom may terminate the Services.
Regarding arbitration, you and Netacom specifically agree to finally resolve all disputes not filed in small claims court by arbitration that will be final and binding on both you and Netacom, subject to any exceptions required by applicable law.
