2. Definitions. The term "Service" means Verizon's Fios TV for Business, including, without limitation, all Programming, Equipment, media or program guides, video recording capability, software, technical support, and other features, products and services provided as part of and included with our television service, including the On Demand service described in Exhibit B (the “On Demand Service”). The Service does not include voice telephony service or any Verizon internet services. "Equipment" means any Verizon owned asset that Verizon provides to customer for use with the Service. Equipment may be either rented by Customer or provided to Customer at no additional charge, and may include, without limitation, digital adaptors, set top boxes, digital video recorders, routers and peripheral devices along with any software contained in or downloaded to such Equipment as part of the Service. At Verizon’s option, Equipment may be required to be returned to Verizon upon termination or cancellation of Service. The Equipment provided by Verizon for use with the Services may be new or refurbished. The term “Other Devices” means devices that may be used with the Service, but which are not classified as Equipment.

The term “Retired” means any Equipment which Verizon explicitly identifies as Retired or no longer supported or required to be returned to Verizon.

3. Service Changes. Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right to change, rearrange, add, delete or otherwise modify the Service at any time, with or without prior notice to you, including changing, rearranging or otherwise modifying the Programming, the selections available in those packages, the Equipment, Other Devices, and any other features, products and services that we offer to you as part of the Service.

Not all services may be available in all areas.
4. Term. This Agreement shall be effective upon your acceptance of this Agreement, as provided above, and shall continue until you or we terminate this Agreement as permitted herein. If you subscribe to a plan with a minimum term commitment (a "Minimum Term") you agree to maintain your Service or Bundled Service for the duration of each Minimum Term or to pay the applicable termination fees if you elect to cancel early. Your Minimum Term begins on the date of a) Service installation, b) on the due date established by Verizon (after the Equipment, and any applicable Other Devices, has been delivered) if the Service is self-installed by you, or c) for already installed Service, the date your plan with a Minimum Term (a "Term Plan") begins or renews. You will begin receiving any Term Plan or other discount associated with a Bundled Service plan once all included service components have been provisioned. At the end of any Minimum Term period, depending on the Term Plan selected, your Service will either automatically renew for another Minimum Term period at the then-current Term rates or convert to a month-to-month Service plan at a monthly fee that may be higher than your current rate until terminated by either party as permitted by the applicable plan and this Agreement. When you select a Term Plan, the Minimum Term periods, monthly rates, renewal terms, early termination fee and other conditions of that plan as described in the information made available to you will also apply and are incorporated as terms of this Agreement. If you subscribe to an auto-renewal Term Plan, you may cancel any renewal by contacting Verizon within the thirty (30) day period before or the sixty (60) day period after the renewal date. In the event you change plans, your monthly rate, Minimum Term and renewal terms may change (depending on the plan you select); otherwise, the terms of this Agreement will remain in effect unless otherwise provided.

If we cease offering the Service, we will give you at least thirty (30) days advance notice.

You understand and agree that Verizon generally does not have the right to distribute pay-per-view Programming (including Programming such as sporting events) and certain premium or on-demand video services to businesses. Only Private Viewing customers (i.e., customers whose televisions are not viewable by their customers, patrons or the public) who separately agree and certify that the Service will not be viewed or viewable by patrons, customers or the public, may be able to access such pay-per-view Programming, and certain premium or on-demand video services.

You may also be required to register such device(s) through the Mobile App, and your ability to delete device(s) and add new device(s) may be restricted in our sole discretion. Internet access is required and certain functionality may require that you obtain Fios Internet from Verizon. We may also limit your ability to stream content concurrently.

You agree to ensure that all uses by you or by any other person, whether authorized by you or not, comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations. As described in more detail in Section 15 below, you agree to indemnify us in the event of any such violation by you or any other person using the Service, with or without your permission.

12. Pricing, Payment and Billing. In consideration for your receipt of the Service and use of any Equipment or Other Devices, you agree to pay us as follows:
A. Service Fees. Regular monthly rates for the Service are guaranteed for each Minimum Term, subject to the provisions of this Section and other provisions of this Agreement.
B. Exclusions from Price Guarantee. Fios TV Equipment, Other Devices, some Programming content, optional subscriptions, transactional charges and surcharges, including but not limited to the regional sports network and broadcast fees are priced separately from the price of the Service or Bundles Services plan, and are not subject to the price guarantees that may apply to a Service or Bundled Services in a Term Plan or promotional offer.
C. Term Plans. When a Term Plan is renewed, whether automatically or at your request, the applicable Service rates for the next renewal term shall be Verizon's then current monthly Term rates which may be higher and are guaranteed for that renewal term. After the expiration or cancellation of a Term Plan, you agree to pay the regular monthly Service and Equipment rates then in effect.
D. Other Fees and Charges. Regular monthly Service and Equipment charges are billed each month in advance. You agree to pay all applicable charges for Service, Equipment and Other Devices by the due date set forth in your monthly billing statement. The rates for your Service (including without limitation Equipment, Other Devices and Programming packages) may be changed by us at any time provided that prior notice of increases to your regular monthly rates will be provided as required by applicable law or by a notice on or with your bill, by email to your email address on file with us, by United States Mail to your billing address or as provided in Section 16 below. Other transactional charges, such as for On Demand or pay-per view, are billed after the applicable service or feature has been ordered or provided to you. You may also be required, based on your ordering and payment history, to provide pre-billing statement payment by credit card or such other payment method as we may designate for transactional services Rates for transactional services may change at any time. Certain Programming and Programming packages may require a minimum billing period (e.g., thirty (30) days), all as described in the information made available to you when placing your order, and you will be charged for such minimum billing period if you subscribe to such Programming and/or Programming package(s) regardless of whether you terminate such Programming and/or Programming Package(s) prior to expiration of the minimum billing period. Your continued use of the Service after such notice constitutes your acceptance of any change in rates. Your monthly billing statement may also contain certain other charges (including, without limitation, taxes and other governmental fees and charges such as franchise fees, account activation and installation charges, surcharges, reactivation fees, customized set-up fees, technician dispatch fees, interest on past-due balances, returned-payment fees and other nonrecurring charges) and you agree to pay such other charges by the due date set forth in your billing statement. The waiver of any fees or charges lies solely in the discretion of Verizon. If you cancel any component of a Bundle Service plan, the monthly charges for the remaining services on your account will automatically convert to the applicable existing non-discounted monthly service rate.
E. Third-Party Charges. You acknowledge and agree that you may incur charges with third parties that are separate and apart from the Service Fees charged by us. These may include charges resulting from accessing online services or purchasing products and services through interactive options available through the Service, and may include additional service and data charges or fees from a wireless or internet service provider (which may be a third party or a Verizon affiliate). You are solely responsible for all charges payable to third parties, including all applicable taxes. In addition, you are solely responsible for protecting the security of credit card and other personal information provided to others in connection with such transactions.
F. Late Fees. If we do not receive your payment on time, we will charge you a late fee of up to 1.5 percent per month (18 percent per year) on the unpaid balance, or a flat $10 per month, whichever is greater, if allowed by law in the state of your billing address. The fees that are applicable to your account are displayed on your monthly bill. If any portion of your bill is not paid by the due date, Verizon may also terminate or suspend your Service without notice. If Verizon uses a collection agency or legal action to recover monies due, you agree to reimburse us for all expenses we incur to recover such monies, including attorneys' fees. If you fail to pay on time and Verizon refers your account(s) to a third party for collection, a collection fee will be assessed and will be due at the time of the referral to the third party. The fee will be calculated at the maximum percentage permitted by applicable law, not to exceed 18 percent.
G. Customer Deposits. We may require that you provide us with a refundable deposit ("Customer Deposit") prior to or upon the activation or reactivation of the Service. We may also require an additional Customer Deposit after activation of the Service if you fail to pay any amounts when due. We may apply the Customer Deposit against any unpaid amounts at any time. Within ninety (90) days of termination of Service, we shall return a sum equal to the Customer Deposit, without interest unless otherwise required by law, minus any amounts due on your account including, without limitation, any amounts owed to us for unreturned or damaged Equipment.
H. Questions About Your Monthly Billing Statement. Subject to applicable law, if you intend to dispute a charge on your billing statement, you must contact Verizon within 60 days of the date you receive the statement in question.

I. Payments. Except as otherwise permitted under applicable law, you agree that you will pay your bill by check, credit or debit card, electronic funds transfer payments or such other payment method as we may designate. The outstanding balance is due in full each month. If any bank or other financial institution refuses to honor any payment, draft or instrument submitted for payment to your account, we may charge you a fee in accordance with applicable law. Based on your election and subject to our approval, Verizon or its agent will bill you directly, or bill your charge card or local Verizon telephone bill (where available).

J. Consents Regarding Credit. In order to establish an account with, and obtain the Service from us, you hereby authorize Verizon or its affiliates to obtain a report from a consumer-credit agency and to exchange information with others in connection with determining your creditworthiness. If you are delinquent in any payment to us, you also authorize us to report any late payment or nonpayment to consumer credit reporting agencies.

Eligibility for promotional offers may be contingent upon payment of all outstanding Verizon charges. If you enroll in Verizon’s Paperless Billing program, you agree to view and pay your bill electronically each month and to promptly update your e-mail address with Verizon if it changes. You will no longer receive a paper bill. Instead, each month you will receive an e-mail notifying you that your bill is available online for viewing and payment at verizon.com/business/login. You must continue to pay your paper bill until you receive your first e-mail notification that your bill is available online. If your electronic payment is rejected for any reason, Verizon may charge a return item fee (where permissible), cancel your enrollment in the Paperless Billing program and resume sending you paper bills.

14. Resolution of Disputes.
A. The parties desire to resolve disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement without litigation. Accordingly, except for action seeking a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction pending appointment of an arbitrator, or suit to compel compliance with this dispute-resolution process, the parties agree to use the following alternative dispute resolution procedure as their sole remedy with respect to any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or from any equipment, products and services Company receives from Verizon (or from any advertising for any such equipment products or services), or from any efforts by Verizon to collect amounts due for such equipment, products or services. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS AGREEMENT THEY ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THEIR RIGHTS TO HAVE DISPUTES HEARD IN COURT OR IN FRONT OF A JURY. The parties further agree that this Agreement does not permit a class arbitration, even if the procedures or rules of the American Arbitration Association (or other dispute-resolution organization or body) would otherwise permit it. NO CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL THEORIES OF LIABILITY OR PRAYERS FOR RELIEF MAY BE MAINTAINED IN ANY ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
B. At the written request of a party, each party will appoint a knowledgeable, responsible representative to meet and negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute arising under this Agreement. The parties intend that these negotiations be conducted by non-lawyer, business representatives. The location, format, frequency, duration, and conclusion of these discussions shall be left to the discretion of the representatives. Upon agreement, representatives may mutually agree to utilize other alternative dispute resolution procedures such as mediation to assist in the negotiations. Discussions and correspondence among the representatives for purposes of these negotiations shall be treated as confidential information developed for purposes of settlement, exempt from discovery and production, which shall not be admissible in the arbitration described below or in any lawsuit without the concurrence of all parties. Documents identified in or provided with such communications that are not prepared for purposes of the negotiations are not so exempted and may, if otherwise admissible, be admitted in evidence in the arbitration or lawsuit.
C. If the negotiations do not resolve the dispute within sixty (60) calendar days of the initial written request, and the amount in controversy exceeds five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or the jurisdictional limit for small claims court in the jurisdiction in which service is provided (whichever is less), the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. A party may demand such arbitration in accordance with the procedures set out in those rules. Discovery shall be controlled by the arbitrator and shall be permitted to the extent set out in this section. Each party is entitled to take a maximum of one (1) oral deposition of an individual representing another party. Additional discovery may be permitted upon mutual agreement of the parties. The arbitration hearing shall be commenced within ninety (90) calendar days from the appointment of the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be held in the County where Service is provided to you by Verizon. The arbitrator shall control the scheduling so as to process the matter expeditiously. The parties may submit written briefs. The arbitrator shall rule on the dispute by issuing a written opinion within thirty (30) calendar days after the close of hearings. The times specified in this section may be changed upon mutual agreement of the parties or by the arbitrator upon a showing of good cause. The arbitrator shall have power to award money or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent warranted by that party's individual claim and only as authorized under the laws that govern this Agreement. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive or other exemplary damages. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
D. If either you or we seek arbitration under this agreement, the party seeking arbitration must first notify the other party of the dispute in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration. Notice to Verizon should be sent to NoticeOfDispute@verizon.com or to Verizon Dispute Resolution Manager, One Verizon Way, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920. The notice must describe the nature of the claim, the relief being sought and the names of the respective representatives that negotiated to resolve the dispute pursuant to Section 14.B above. Notice from Verizon shall be provided to You, to the billing address or email address we have on file for you.
E. If the negotiations do not resolve the dispute within sixty (60) calendar days of the initial written request, and the amount in controversy does not exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or the jurisdictional limit for small-claims court in the jurisdiction in which service is provided (whichever is less), the dispute may be submitted to small-claims court in the jurisdiction in which service is provided for resolution in accordance with its rules and procedures.
F. Each party shall bear its own costs of these procedures. A party seeking discovery shall reimburse the responding party the costs of production of documents (to include reasonable search time and reproduction costs). The parties shall equally split the fees of the arbitration and the arbitrator.
IF FOR SOME REASON THE PROHIBITION ON CLASS ARBITRATIONS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION (A) CANNOT BE ENFORCED AS TO ALL OR PART OF A DISPUTE, THEN THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WILL NOT APPLY TO THAT DISPUTE OR PART OF THE DISPUTE
15. Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Verizon for any damages, costs, liabilities and attorney's fees we incur from any claim arising from the use of the Service, Equipment or Other Devices by you or others (whether or not such use is authorized by you), including without limitation, breach of any provision herein, violation of applicable laws, including, without limitation, infringement of copyrights or other proprietary or intellectual property rights, including, without limitation any copyright infringement resulting from your failure to obtain public performance licenses to the extent such licenses are needed, or the unauthorized commercial exhibition of the Service and any negligent acts, errors or omissions. In such event, you agree to conduct the defense and have control of the litigation and settlement, if any. However, you agree not to acquiesce to any judgment or enter into any settlement that adversely affects our rights or interests without Verizon's prior written consent. We agree to give you prompt notice of all claims and to cooperate in defending against the claim.
16, Notices. Notices required under this Agreement shall be provided by you by contacting us as via the methods set forth in your monthly billing statement or at www.verizon.com. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, notices by Verizon to you shall be deemed given: (a) when sent by email to your last-known email address according to our records; (b) when delivered over the cable system, including the Message Center located in the interactive media guide, where available; (c) when deposited in the United States mail addressed to you at the Service Location; (d) when included and provided with our billing statements to you; or (e) when hand-delivered to the Service Location.
17. General Provisions.
A. Survival. All obligations of the parties under this Agreement, which, by their nature, would continue beyond the termination of the Service, including without limitation, those related to limitation of liability and indemnification, shall survive such termination.
B. Publicity. You shall not use any trademark, trade name, trade dress or any name, picture or logo which is commonly identified with Verizon or its affiliates, or from which any association with Verizon or its affiliates may be inferred or implied, in any manner without the prior written permission of Verizon.
C. Assignment. You agree not to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement in whole or in part, including your rights or obligations under them. Any attempt to do so shall be invalid. Furthermore, you agree to notify us of any changes of ownership of, or occupancy in, the Service Location(s) immediately upon such transfer of ownership or change in occupancy. We may assign all or any part of this Agreement for any purpose without notice to you and you agree to make all subsequent payments as directed in your billing statement unless notified otherwise. You hereby consent to such assignment.
D. Applicable Law. You and Verizon agree that the substantive laws of the state and local area in which the Service Location is located (the "Service Jurisdiction"), without reference to its principles of conflicts of laws, will be applied to govern, construe and enforce all of the rights and duties of the parties arising from or relating in any way to the subject matter of this Agreement. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 14 OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND VERIZON CONSENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF AND VENUE IN A COURT LOCATED IN THE SERVICE JURISDICTION FOR ANY SUITS OR CAUSES OF ACTION CONNECTED IN ANY WAY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TO THE SERVICE. Except as otherwise required by law, including Service Jurisdiction laws relating to consumer transactions, any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to the Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises or such claim or cause of action is barred.
E. Waiver. Verizon's failure at any time to insist upon strict compliance with any of the provisions of this Agreement in any instance shall not be construed to be a waiver of such terms in the future. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force, and the unenforceable portion shall be construed as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties.
F. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any policies or materials that are fully incorporated into this Agreement by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Verizon with respect to the subject matter hereto and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements whether written or oral. Any changes by you to this Agreement, or any additional or different terms in your purchase or work order, acknowledgements or other documents, written or electronic, are void. No salesperson, technician or other representative is authorized to supplement or change the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall this Agreement or any other agreement with us be modified orally.

2. User Account. You must establish and/or maintain a "My Business" account at verizon.com/business/login and enable such My Business account to license On Demand Content (on a rental or unlimited basis). Your "My Business" account will then become an "On Demand Enabled Account”.

You can register up to five (5) On Demand Authorized Devices per On Demand Enabled Account, and if you subscribe to Fios TV, all of your set-top boxes within a single business will count as one of your allotted On Demand Authorized Devices. In order to register and de-register portable On Demand Authorized Devices, you need to register the device through a Verizon-provided application. You are only permitted to de-register two (2) On Demand Authorized Devices per On Demand Account per calendar year without connecting through your PC and you are only permitted to de-register and re- register the same On Demand Authorized Device two (2) times within a calendar year.

4.2. On Demand Service Requirements. Internet access is required to use the Services. You are solely responsible for compliance with any minimum system requirements, and for obtaining, installing, configuring, and maintaining suitable equipment and software, including any necessary system or software upgrades, patches or other fixes, which are or may become necessary to access the Services. Certain downloaded content may be viewed offline. Not all On Demand Content is available for download. The availability of standard definition, high definition, and ultra-high definition video programming may also vary. You acknowledge that delivery of Content is dependent on variables not under Verizon’s control, including, but not limited to, the speed and availability of your broadband or network connection. You may experience delays or technical difficulties caused by or related to such variables, as well as the technical limitations of the On Demand Authorized Device on which you view the On Demand Library Content. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will not receive a refund or credit for any Content that you are not able to view or have difficulty viewing due to such variables. You bear all responsibility for ensuring that you have the viewing capabilities to view Content in the appropriate format or at all.
4.3. The On Demand Service is intended solely for your non- transferable, non-commercial, private and personal use, and any other use or attempted use for commercial or other purposes is strictly prohibited.

However, only one of your On Demand Authorized Devices may play back the Rental Content at any one time.
4.4.3. Upon the payment of either a purchase or rental fee, Verizon grants you a limited, non- exclusive, revocable, non-transferable license to use the On Demand Content solely for your personal, non-commercial/non-public, entertainment use.
4.5. Purchased On Demand Content Availability. Once you purchase or rent On Demand Content, you bear the responsibility for completing download and/or use and for all risk of loss of the purchased and downloaded On Demand Content. Verizon encourages you to download or access your Purchased On Demand Content immediately after purchase.
4.5.1. Purchased On Demand Content may become unavailable for streaming (including streaming to your TV via a Verizon Fios TV set-top box) or re- download due to Content provider licensing and other restrictions, and Verizon will not be liable to you if Purchased On Demand Content becomes unavailable for further download, streaming and/or use.
