VII. TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

I.  INTRODUCTION
This Residential Customer Agreement (“Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions governing the purchase and use of Veracity Networks, Inc’s and its affiliated companies’ (collectively “Veracity Networks”) products and services including, but not limited to, Veracity Networks voice, data, and video service.  This Agreement also sets forth the terms and conditions governing the rental or use of Veracity Networks equipment including, but not limited to, set-top boxes, television remote controls, video cables, power cables, uninterruptable power supplies, fiber optic home gateways, voice integrated access devices, and voice terminal adapters.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Subscriber” means the customer or consumer of Veracity Networks services.

II. TRANSFER LIMITS
Residential bandwidth transfer limits are set to 100 Gig/month.  This measures the amount of traffic sent through your connection on a monthly basis.  Once bandwidth transfers exceed the 100 Gig/month limit, Veracity Networks will bill $1.00 per Gig thereafter. top

III.    RESIDENTIAL USE OF SERVICE AND DEVICE
     If you subscribe to our residential service plans, we provide you with service and the device solely for single family, normal residential, non-commercial use. Single family refers to you and those of your immediate family members who reside in your personal residence - e.g., spouse, domestic partner, and/or children. If you subscribe to a service plan which permits use of more than one device with the same voice line, the basis for assessing such use will not change. top

IV.    INCONSISTENT WITH NORMAL USE
     If you use the service or the device in a way that is inconsistent with the normal use for your service or plan, you will be required, at Veracity Networks sole discretion, to pay the rates for the service or plan that would apply to the way you used the service or device, or terminate the plan. For example, if you subscribe to one of our residential service plans, and your usage is inconsistent with normal residential use, you may thereafter be required to pay our applicable, higher rates for commercial service for all periods in which your use of our service or the device was inconsistent with normal residential use. Unlimited voice services are provided primarily for continuous live dialog between two individuals. Lack of continuous dialog activity, unusual call patterns, excessive numbers and/or consistent excessive usage (i.e., More than 5,000 minutes per line per month for unlimited residential calling) will be considered indicators that use may be inconsistent with normal use, or that impermissible use may be occurring and may trigger an account review by us. The creation or use of related multiple accounts or excessive residential lines to circumvent these levels shall also be considered indicators that use of the service may be inconsistent with normal use for the subscribed monthly plan(s) and may trigger an account review by Veracity Networks. Failure to contact Veracity Networks in response to its notifications and/or failure to promptly correct usage activity to conform to normal use will result, in Veracity Networks sole discretion, in immediate mandatory transfer to another appropriate plan, suspension or termination of service. You acknowledge that if your service is terminated under this provision, you are subject to all applicable disconnection and device or other rebate recovery charges. Veracity Networks right to terminate your account under Section K (1) (with or no reason) is not limited by this provision. top
