High-Speed Residential Internet Service Agreement

This is an Agreement between you, the "Customer", Service Electric Cablevision, Inc. ("SECV") and PenTeleData LPI ("PTD") for high-speed non-commercial access to the Internet. Your signature on this Agreement or use of the High-Speed Internet Service ("Service") indicates that you accept the rates, terms, conditions and policies contained herein and at http://www.ptd.net/policies.

1. Customer agrees to abide by the rates, terms, conditions, and policies contained herein and those found in the PenTeleData Acceptable Usage Policy listing and as they may change from time to time. The PTD Acceptable Usage Policy terms are located at http://www.ptd.net/policies. Cable modem information and pricing can be found at http://www.secv.com or by calling your local SECV office. SECV reserves the right to determine the criteria necessary to open an account for Service. High-Speed Internet Service is provided for the private, residential and non-commercial use of the Customer. Commercial use of the Service will subject the Customer to commercial terms and pricing.
2. Customer may use a leased or purchased cable modem to access the Internet in only one residential location. A separate cable connection to use the Service on the Customer's computer may be necessary. Customer shall not lease, sublease, or provide Internet access to others using the cable modem. Use of any type of server is strictly prohibited, including but not limited to file transfer protocol servers, mail servers, and web servers.
3. Additional Charges: Customer must maintain a current non-delinquent account. Customer may incur additional charges including, but not limited to, late or non-payment charges, installation charges, and the cost of a network interface card. SECV High-Speed Internet tiers can be found in Section 5 of this Agreement, or by visiting http://www.secv.com/internet.
4. PTD and SECV shall not be liable to Customer for any loss of Service or damage arising from an event that is beyond the control of PTD or SECV. Neither shall PTD or SECV be liable for indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, consequential, or any other form of money damages, including but not limited to, lost profits, or for the loss of data or information of any kind, however caused and arising out of or in connection with the performance of PTD or SECV or the provision of services or performance hereunder whether based in contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and whether or not PTD or SECV has been made aware of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall any liability exceed a refund of amounts actually paid by Customer for the then current year.
5. Customer expressly acknowledges that the bandwidth provided by PTD and SECV is shared with other users and providers. Any quoted bandwidth rating or transfer rate for the Service, including but not limited to the bandwidth and transfer rates set forth herein, are maximum rates and are not guaranteed continuously. PTD and SECV reserve the right to manage the network for “maximum efficiency.” SECV's primary methods of managing network congestion are its multiple tiers of broadband internet access which limit speeds based upon subscription level. SECV offers unlimited data plans. However, SECV does monitor data usage at all hours, and its customers have agreed to ensure that their activities do not improperly restrict, inhibit, or degrade any other user's use of the service or SECV's ability to deliver and monitor the service, or SECV network resources. If determined through data monitoring that a customer's data usage has strained the ability of the network to perform optimally for other users then SECV reserves the right granted by the FCC to deploy network management tools that may affect that customer's Internet performance for a temporary period of time. Users that repeatedly violate this policy may be upgraded to a higher level of service, or in rare circumstances have their accounts terminated or suspended. SECV also may expand capacity in response to consistent user demands by splitting nodes or deploying additional CMTS equipment.

6. Due to the demands of the Internet, the limitations of other networks that comprise the Internet, and the configuration of the Customer's equipment, the maximum speed may only be available on a “burst basis”.
7. PTD permits Internet protocol (IP) traffic only. Other protocols are prohibited without prior arrangement.
8.

9. Customers will receive either 2 dynamic public IP addresses acquirable via DHCP or may receive 2 dynamic private IPs behind Network Address Translation (NAT) via DHCP. Customers that receive NAT'd private IPs will have all inbound ports blocked that are not opened as a result of an outbound request due to the operation of NAT.

Failure to return the modem in seven (7) business days will result in the Customer being billed for the leased equipment and related costs.
15. Responsibility for Leased Equipment: Upon installation of a leased cable modem and associated equipment, Customer shall safeguard and take all necessary steps to prevent loss, theft, damage or destruction of the equipment.
