CCI, solely, shall hold all password and authentication information necessary to operate the radio on CCI’s wireless network. Upon termination of this agreement CCI shall reset User ‘ID’s’ and passwords on all User owned equipment that CCI holds and supply the new information to User.
Actual connection speed between User and a remote server or User is dependent upon numerous factors, technologies, and systems, many of which are beyond CCI’s authority and control. CCI warrants to User, and only to User, subject to the limitations set forth in this agreement, that it will use its best efforts to maintain contracted throughput speeds, which for purposes of this warranty means the ability of the wireless network to transmit traffic at the contracted speed, measured over a rolling one-month period. Any down time over a 2 day period (based on a 30 day month) will be credited if that is a User’s sole and exclusive remedy for throughput failure. The service credits shall not apply if: (a) any CPE (customer-provided equipment) used in the connection has been subjected to physical or electrical stress, misuse, neglect, accident or abuse, or damaged by any other external causes; (b) equipment has been installed, repaired, or altered by anyone other than CCI or its subcontractors or affiliates, without CCI’s express and prior written approval: (c) the services or equipment are used in violation of applicable law or in violation of instruction furnished by CCI; (d) performance is adversely affected by scheduled maintenance.
Routine maintenance and periodic system repairs, upgrades and reconfiguration, public emergency or necessity, force majeure, restrictions imposed by law, acts of God, labor disputes and other situations, including mechanical or electronic breakdowns may result in temporary impairment or interruption of service. As a result, CCI does not guarantee continuous uninterrupted service and reserves the right from time to time to temporarily reduce or suspend service without notice. User releases CCI and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from any and all obligations, charges claims, liabilities, costs and fees incurred as the result of interruptions or omissions of service.
CCI reserves the right to monitor User activity from time to time and to deny service to an individual or business that CCI views as an excessive bandwidth user. Before installation begins CCI may require a deposit or prepayment. User may cancel this order without penalty at any time until the equipment is installed.
Should CCI have to enforce the terms of the internet contract or this agreement in court, User agrees to pay CCI’s attorney’s fees and costs of suit in addition to any damages that User may be ordered to pay to CCI by the court.
The terms of this agreement and the internet contract are particular to the User agreeing thereto and User may not assign his or her rights and remedies to a third party. If User assigns his or her rights to a third party, this agreement and the internet contract may be immediately terminated by CCI without notice to User or assignee, and no assignee shall have any rights or remedies under the internet contract or this agreement. Any assignment of the internet contract or this agreement shall not relieve the User of his or her responsibilities under this agreement.
