The following terms apply to all Services (as defined below):

Services. The term “Service” shall mean Verizon Business DSL Service (“DSL Service”), Verizon Business E-Mail Service (“E-M Service”), Dial-Up Mobility Broadband Internet Service (“Mobility Service”), including all Software (as defined in Paragraph 9 below), and such other products or services as you may subscribe to with Verizon. The Service shall also include any software or hardware that we provide you in connection with the Service to which you have subscribed. Verizon Business DSL Service utilizes transport service provided by your local Verizon telephone company. If you change your local telephone company, or move your local telephone service to a wireless service provider we may in our discretion either terminate your account or continue to provide DSL service at existing rates terms and conditions. If your local Verizon telephone company provisions transport service to your location utilizing fiber optic technologies, we may in our discretion terminate your DSL Service. In cases of such termination, we will offer to you Verizon Fios Internet Service for Business and we will disclose to you applicable rates and additional terms, if any, that may differ from the DSL Service provided under this Agreement.
Term. This Agreement shall be effective upon your acceptance of this Agreement, as provided above, and shall continue for twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Initial Term”). After the Initial Term, it shall continue on a month-to-month basis until terminated by either party as permitted by this Agreement. We reserve the right to terminate the Service (or any part thereof) in the event we cease to offer the Service. If we cease offering the Service (or any part thereof), we will give you at least thirty (30) days advance notice. Billing on your account will begin following completion of provisioning of DSL Service.
Prices. Prices are guaranteed for the Initial Term of Service. For any Service offered on a month-to-month basis, we will give you at least thirty (30) calendar days prior notice of a price change. You are responsible for all charges associated with the Service and rate plan selected, including but not limited to a) applicable taxes, b) surcharges, c) Federal Universal Service Fund, tax and other recovery fees, d) telephone charges, e) activation fees, f) installation fees, g) setup fees, h) equipment charges, i) termination fees, and J) other non-recurring charges. The taxes, fees and other charges detailed in this section a) - d) may vary on a monthly basis; any variation will be reflected in your monthly charge. You also agree to pay any additional charges or fees applied to your billing account for any reason, including but not limited to interest and charges due to insufficient credit or insufficient funds.. Activation fees, installation fees, setup fees, equipment charges, and other non-recurring charges, if applicable, will be included in your first month’s bill. Monthly recurring charges will be billed one month in advance; usage charges will be billed in arrears, if applicable. Verizon or its agent will bill you directly, or bill your credit card or your local Verizon telephone bill (telephone billing available in selected areas only), as you request and as approved by Verizon. Verizon does not accept debit cards for payment of any charges of fees. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ELECT TO BE BILLED FOR YOUR DSL SERVICE ON YOUR VERIZON PHONE BILL, BY USING THE SERVICES YOU AGREE TO HAVE VERIZON CHARGES INCLUDED ON YOUR PHONE BILL.
Payment and late fee. We will invoice you monthly. Payment to Verizon is due upon receipt of invoice and shall be made in U.S. currency. A payment received thirty (30) calendar days or more after the invoice date is considered past due. If your charges are billed by your Verizon local carrier, the Late Fee will be equal to the late payment charge that the local exchange carrier applies. If your charges are not billed by your Verizon local carrier, you agree to pay interest of 1.5% for each month or part of a month (or the maximum interest allowed by law, whichever is less). Verizon may assign unpaid delinquent charges to a collection agency for action. If Verizon uses legal action to recover monies due, you agree to reimburse Verizon for all expenses incurred to recover such monies (including attorney’s fees). You also authorize Verizon to conduct a credit search which we may use to determine your credit worthiness. Verizon may cancel our order or terminate this Agreement if, in its sole opinion, the results of such credit search are deemed unacceptable.

2. 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, the 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.
3. If the negotiations do not resolve the dispute within sixty (60) calendar days of the initial written request, 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 may submit in writing to a party, and that party shall so respond, to a maximum of any combination of twenty-five (25) (none of which may have subparts) of the following: interrogatories, demands to produce documents and requests for admission. Each party is also entitled to take the oral deposition of one (1) individual representing another party. Additional discovery may be permitted upon mutual agreement of the parties. The arbitration hearing shall be commenced within sixty (60) calendar days of the demand for arbitration. The arbitration shall be held in Fairfax County of the Commonwealth of Virginia. 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. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
4. 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.

IN NO EVENT SHALL VERIZON OR ITS THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, PROVIDERS OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR (A) ANY PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO DATA ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR (B) ANY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU BY ANY THIRD PARTY.
Limitation of damages.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. IN THESE JURISDICTIONS OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Upon expiration, cancellation or termination of the Agreement or an applicable Quotation, you agree to return to us any IP addresses or address blocks assigned to you by us.

Force majeure.
