Subscribers to our networks agree to the following terms:
Residential Internet Phone Subscribers
Internet Subscribers
Subscriber ("You" or "Subscriber") agree to be bound to these General Terms and Conditions of Service ("Terms of Service" or "Agreement") with respect to all Matrix Connected Fiber Services, as well as the additional terms of service applicable to the specific Matrix Connected Fiber services and/or features to which you subscribe or have access, as are set forth at www.matrixconnectedfiber.com and may be updated from time to time, including the additional terms applicable all services provided by matrix connected fiber (collectively, the "Additional Terms of Service"), which are incorporated into these Terms of Service by this reference. You further understand and agree that the Customer Privacy Notice, which governs the collection, use and disclosure of Subscriber personal information, is likewise incorporated into these Terms of Service by reference.
1. Payment of Charges. The charges for one month of Services, including any deposits, activation, installation and Equipment charges, plus pro rata charges, if any, for periods not previously billed, are due upon installation of the Services or such other date as agreed by Matrix Connected Fiber and You. Thereafter, Subscriber agrees to pay monthly recurring Service charges and Equipment charges (if any) in advance, including all applicable fees (such as restoration or experience fees), taxes, regulatory fees, franchise fees, surcharges and other government assessments no later than the date indicated on Subscriber's bill. Charges for non-recurring Services or Equipment charges will be reflected on Subscriber's subsequent bill at the then current applicable rates. All rates for Services, Equipment charges and other fees and surcharges are subject to change in accordance with applicable law.
If Subscriber elects to pay by automatic recurring credit card, debit card or automatic clearing house payments, Subscriber authorizes Matrix Connected Fiber to charge such accounts. If Subscriber elects to send a check as payment, Subscriber authorizes Matrix Connected Fiber either to use information from Subscriber's check to make a one-time electronic funds transfer from Subscriber's bank account or to process the payment as a check transaction.
Failure to receive a bill does not release Subscriber from Subscriber's obligation to pay. Failure to pay the total balance when due (including checks returned for insufficient funds) shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and may be grounds for termination of Service, removal of Equipment from Subscriber's premises and/or imposition of a late fee ("Late Fee") in accordance with applicable law. You can avoid incurring Late Fees by paying your monthly bill promptly. Any Late Fee imposed on Subscriber is intended to be a reasonable advance estimate of costs of managing past due accounts. The Late Fee is not interest, a penalty, a credit service charge or a finance charge.
If the Subscriber has more than one account (Business and/or Residential) served by Matrix Connected Fiber, all Matrix Connected Fiber provided Services at all locations may be subject to discontinuance of Service in the event any one account remains unpaid. In the event collection activities are required, an additional collection charge may be imposed.
Monthly Charges. Your monthly subscription begins on the first day following your installation date and automatically renews thereafter on a monthly basis beginning on the first day of the next billing period assigned to you until cancelled by you. The monthly service charge(s) will be billed at the beginning of your assigned billing period and each month thereafter unless and until you cancel your Service(s). PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD(S).
You may cancel Service(s) for a period up to the last day of the billing period prior to the service period that you wish to cancel, and the cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current billing period. Any request for cancellation after the commencement of a service period will be effective at the end of the then-current service period. Access to the Services will, if possible, continue to be provided at the location ordered or, if you move, to your new location if in an Matrix Connected Fiber-served area (subject to any installation charges).
2. Additional Fees. In addition to Subscriber's monthly recurring charges and any Late Fee, additional fees may be imposed, including fees for returned checks, Payment Assistance Fees for paying by phone, receiving a paper bill, charge card chargeback, early termination, reconnection and service calls. Additional charges may also be imposed if collection activities are required to recover past due balances, including attorney fees. A list of applicable fees is available at www.matrixconnectedfiber.com ("Schedule of Fees"). Matrix Connected Fiber reserves the right to amend or change the Schedule of Fees from time to time.
3. Third Party Provider Charges. In connection with Subscriber's use of the Services and Equipment, Subscriber may be able to access, subscribe to, use and/or purchase products, services, software or applications that are provided to Subscriber by third parties ("Third Party Providers"). Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber may incur charges in connection with the subscription to, purchase or use of these Third Party Provider products, services, software or applications. All such charges, including any additional fees and applicable taxes, shall be paid by Subscriber to the Third Party Provider and are not the responsibility of Matrix Connected Fiber. Credits or billing adjustments for products, services, software or applications billed by a Third Party Provider shall be subject to the stated billing practices of that Third Party Provider. Termination of a service or subscription offered for a separate charge billed directly by a Third Party Provider shall be effected in accordance with the Terms of Service or similar agreement between the Subscriber and the Third Party Provider.
4. Taxes: Subscriber agrees to pay any local, state or federal taxes imposed or levied on or with respect to the Services, the Equipment or installation or service charges incurred with respect to the same.
5. Early Termination Fees. If you cancel, terminate or downgrade the Service(s) before the completion of any required promotional term to which You agreed ("Initial Term"), you agree to pay Matrix Connected Fiber any applicable early cancellation fee plus all outstanding charges for all Services used and Equipment purchased for which you have not paid us prior to termination. You agree that early cancellation fees or any other fees may automatically be charged to your account and your credit or debit card provided to Matrix Connected Fiber and you agree to pay such fees.
6. Right to Make Credit Inquiries. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Matrix Connected Fiber may (a) verify Subscriber's credit standing, make inquiries and receive information about your credit experiences, including your credit report, from credit reporting agencies; (b) enter this information in your file, and disclose this information concerning you to appropriate third parties for reasonable business purposes; and (c) furnish information about you (including your social security number), your account(s) and your payment history to those credit reporting agencies.
7. Security Deposit. Matrix Connected Fiber may require a deposit or activation fee based on Subscriber's credit standing or past payment history with Matrix Connected Fiber. A deposit and/or activation fee does not relieve the Subscriber of the responsibility for prompt payment of bills on presentation. Any security deposit given by Subscriber for the Equipment or Matrix Connected Fiber's Service will be due and payable upon the first monthly billing. Such security deposits will be returned to Subscriber within sixty (60) days of termination of Matrix Connected Fiber's Service so long as payment has been made for all amounts due on Subscriber's account and Subscriber has returned the Matrix Connected Fiber Equipment undamaged. Security deposits paid by Subscriber for Equipment or Services may be used, to the extent permitted by law, to offset any unpaid balance or charges after termination of Service. Subscriber shall remain liable for any outstanding balances after the security deposit has been applied. Further terms and conditions of the security deposit may be contained in the deposit receipt given to Subscriber at the time the security deposit is collected.dd
8. Disputed Charges. Subscriber agrees to pay all undisputed monthly charges and all applicable fees and taxes as itemized on the Matrix Connected Fiber monthly bill and notify Matrix Connected Fiber in writing of disputed items or requests for credit within thirty (30) days of Subscriber's receipt of the bill for which correction of an error or credit is sought, or longer as provided by applicable law. The date of the dispute shall be the date Matrix Connected Fiber receives sufficient documentation to enable Matrix Connected Fiber to investigate the dispute. The date of the resolution is the date Matrix Connected Fiber completes its investigation and notifies the Subscriber of the disposition of the dispute.
9. Adjustments or Refunds. Any adjustment or refund, given in each case at Matrix Connected Fiber's sole discretion, will be accomplished by a credit on a subsequent bill for Service, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the liability of Matrix Connected Fiber, its officers, shareholders, directors, employees, affiliates, vendors, carrier partners, content providers and other persons or entities involved in providing the Services or Equipment (collectively, the "Matrix Connected Fiber Parties") for damages shall in no event, by reason of any delays, interruptions, omissions, errors, failures or defects in installation or service, exceed an amount equal to the Subscriber's Service charges and associated Equipment fees for a regular billing period ("Maximum Credit"). No credit allowance will be made for interruptions of Service that are:
a. due to the negligence of or noncompliance with the provisions of the Terms of Service by Subscriber or any person authorized by customer to use the Service;
b. due to the negligence of any person other than Matrix Connected Fiber including, but not limited to, the other common carriers connected to Matrix Connected Fiber's facilities;
c. due to the failure or malfunction of Subscriber-owned equipment or third party equipment;
d. during any period in which Matrix Connected Fiber is not given full and free access to its facilities and Equipment for the purpose of investigating and correcting interruptions;
e. during a period in which Subscriber continues to use the Service on an impaired basis;
f. during any period when the interruption is due to implementation of a Subscriber order for a change in Service arrangements; or
g. due to circumstances or causes beyond the control of Matrix Connected Fiber.
Limitation of Refund. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, in the event any amounts owed by Matrix Connected Fiber to Subscriber are not claimed by Subscriber within one year of the date on which the amount became payable to Subscriber, Subscriber shall forfeit all rights to the refund and all such amounts shall become the property of Matrix Connected Fiber.
10. Equipment and Software. Unless Matrix Connected Fiber expresses otherwise in writing, all equipment, including but not limited to, any cables, wires, amplifiers, cable boxes, access cards, remotes, cable cards, battery backup units, modems, routers, gateways, Matrix Connected Fiber One and Matrix Connected Fiber One Mini units distributed to and/or installed for use in the Subscriber's service location(s) by or on behalf of Matrix Connected Fiber ("Equipment"), network facilities, and software installed or provided by Matrix Connected Fiber remains the property of Matrix Connected Fiber, except that all wiring on the Subscriber's side of the demarcation point at Subscriber's service location, whether installed by Matrix Connected Fiber or by Subscriber, shall be Subscriber property and not Matrix Connected Fiber Equipment, and repair and maintenance for such wiring is the responsibility of Subscriber unless otherwise agreed by Subscriber and Matrix Connected Fiber. The demarcation point shall mean a point at (or about) twelve (12) inches outside of where the cable wire enters the Subscriber's service location. None of the Equipment shall become a fixture nor shall distribution, installation, and/or use of Equipment, including but not limited to cable boxes and/or set top boxes be deemed a lease of such Equipment. Subscriber will acquire no ownership or other interest in the Equipment, network facilities, and software by virtue of payments made pursuant to this Agreement or by the attachment of any portion of the Equipment or network facilities to Subscriber's residence or premises.
a. Misuse of Equipment. Matrix Connected Fiber Equipment is intended to service and reside at the specific service location and is not to be removed from the service location where it was installed or used off premises without Matrix Connected Fiber authorization. Subscriber agrees that neither Subscriber nor any other person (except Matrix Connected Fiber's authorized personnel) will open, alter, misuse, tamper with, service, or make any alterations to any Equipment. Subscriber agrees to safeguard the Equipment from loss or damage of any kind, and (except for any self installation procedures approved by Matrix Connected Fiber) will not permit anyone other than an Matrix Connected Fiber authorized representative to perform any work on the Equipment. Any misuse, alteration, tampering, or removal, or the use of equipment which permits the receipt of Services without authorization or the receipt of Services to an unauthorized number of outlets, or to unauthorized locations constitutes theft of service and is prohibited.
b. Return of Equipment. If Subscriber's Service is terminated or cancelled (for whatever reason), unless Matrix Connected Fiber expresses otherwise in writing, Subscriber agrees that Subscriber no longer has the right to keep or use the Equipment and Subscriber must promptly return the Equipment. The Equipment must be returned to Matrix Connected Fiber in the same condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Absent other instructions, if Subscriber fails to return the Equipment, Subscriber will pay any expenses Matrix Connected Fiber incurs in retrieving the Equipment. Failure of Matrix Connected Fiber to remove the Equipment does not mean that Matrix Connected Fiber has abandoned the Equipment. Matrix Connected Fiber may impose a charge for unreturned Equipment to be determined in accordance with Matrix Connected Fiber's then current schedule of charges for non-returned Equipment and/or continue to charge Subscriber a monthly Service fee every month until any remaining Equipment is returned, collected by Matrix Connected Fiber or fully paid for by Subscriber. Any charge for unreturned Equipment shall be due immediately.
c. Damaged or Lost Equipment. If the Equipment is damaged by Subscriber, destroyed, lost or stolen while in Subscriber's possession, Subscriber is responsible for the cost of repair or replacement of the Equipment.
d. Operation of Equipment. Subscriber agrees to operate any Equipment in accordance with instructions of Matrix Connected Fiber or Matrix Connected Fiber's agent. Failure to do so will relieve the Matrix Connected Fiber Parties of liability for interruption of Service and may make the Subscriber responsible for damage to Equipment.
e. Tests and Inspections. Upon reasonable notification to the Subscriber, and at a reasonable time, Matrix Connected Fiber may make such tests and inspections as may be necessary to determine that the Subscriber is complying with the requirements set forth herein.
f. Software. Subscriber agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of any software license agreement applicable to the software provided or installed by Matrix Connected Fiber ("Software"). The Software shall be used solely in connection with the Services and Subscriber will not modify, disassemble, translate or reverse engineer, the Software. All rights title and interest to the Software, including associated intellectual property rights, are and will remain with Matrix Connected Fiber and Matrix Connected Fiber?s licensors. If Subscriber's Service is terminated, Subscriber will promptly return or destroy all Software provided by Matrix Connected Fiber and any related written materials. Matrix Connected Fiber will have the right to upgrade, modify and enhance the Equipment and Software from time to time.
g. Repair. Matrix Connected Fiber will repair and/or replace defective Equipment provided such damage was not caused by misuse, neglect or other fault of Subscriber. Matrix Connected Fiber assumes no responsibility and shall have no responsibility for the operation, maintenance, condition or repair of any Subscriber-provided equipment and/or software, including, but not limited to, televisions, computer devices, remote controls or other consumer electronics, including any hardware or third party software, that may be connected to the Services ("Subscriber Equipment") except that Matrix Connected Fiber may automatically push required software or firmware updates directly to Subscriber Equipment when necessary for the provision of Matrix Connected Fiber Service(s). Subscriber is responsible for the repair and maintenance of Subscriber Equipment. Subscriber is also responsible for the repair and maintenance of inside wiring at the service location unless otherwise agreed by Subscriber and Matrix Connected Fiber. Matrix Connected Fiber is not responsible or liable for any loss or impairment of Matrix Connected Fiber's Service due in whole or in part to a malfunction, defect or otherwise caused by Subscriber Equipment. Matrix Connected Fiber makes no warranties, with respect to Equipment or Service provided by Matrix Connected Fiber or with respect to the Equipment's compatibility with any Subscriber Equipment.

This Agreement governs both the Service and any equipment, such as a Multimedia Terminal Adapter, Analog Telephone Adapter or any other IP connection Equipment, used in conjunction with the Service and it applies to all lines on each Matrix Connected Fiber account. Matrix Connected Fiber may, at its discretion and without notice, modify, change, add to or omit any terms and conditions in this Agreement without advance notice to you. Your use of this Service after one (1) full billing cycle constitutes your agreement to such changes. Upon request, Matrix Connected Fiber will mail to you a paper copy of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective the later of (i) the date it is signed by Matrix Connected Fiber) or (ii) you first begin to use the Service (the “Effective Date”).

1. EMERGENCY SERVICES - 911 DIALING
YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE SOME CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH YOUR E911 SERVICE MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN SOME WAY. EXAMPLES OF THE LIMITATIONS OF YOUR E911 SERVICE WHEN COMPARED TO A TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE SERVICE ARE LISTED IN THIS SECTION. YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THIS SECTION AND DISCUSS IT WITH YOUR MATRIX CONNECTED FIBER REPRESENTATIVE IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU FIND CONFUSING OR YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
1.1 911 Dialing. All of our customers have access to either basic 911 or Enhanced 911 (E911) service. With E911 service, when you dial 911, your telephone number and registered address are simultaneously sent to the local emergency center assigned to your location, and emergency operators have access to the information they need to send help and call you back if necessary. Customers have basic 911 in locations where the emergency center is not equipped to receive your telephone number and address. With basic 911, the local emergency operator(s) answering the call will not have your call back number or your exact location, so you must be prepared to give them this information. Until you give the operator(s) your phone number, he/she may not be able to call you back or dispatch help if the call is not completed or is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak.
You authorize us to disclose your name and address to third-parties involved with providing 911 Dialing to you, including, without limitation, call routers, call centers and local emergency centers.
1.2 Notify All Users. You should inform any CUSTOMERS, EMPLOYEES, guests OR other third persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize the Service of the important difference in, and limitations of, Matrix Connected Fiber 911 Dialing as compared with TRADITIONAL basic 911 or E911. The documentation that accompanies each piece of equipment you may purchase or lease will include a sticker concerning the potential non-availability of basic 911 or E911 (the "911 Sticker"). It is your responsibility to place the 911 Sticker as near as possible to each phone that you use with the Service. If you did not receive a 911 Sticker with your Equipment, or you require additional 911 Stickers, please contact our customer care department at 973-929-2596 for more stickers at no additional cost.
1.3 Location of Service. This Service is provided at a specific permanent address and not available as a nomadic offering. Before you move to another location, you must notify Matrix Connected Fiber to determine if service can be provided at your new permanent address. If you attempt to use the Service without notifying Matrix Connected Fiber and receiving our permission, emergency personnel may not be able to locate you to adequately respond to an emergency. Even with E911, emergency personnel may be dispatched at the address listed with us and not the address where you use the service if you fail to follow the requirements of this paragraph.
1.4 Confirmation of Activation Required. Your 911 Dialing feature will not be activated for any phone line that you are using with the Service, UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM MATRIX CONNECTED FIBER CONFIRMING THE 911 DIALING FEATURE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED FOR THAT PHONE LINE.
1.5 Service Outages.
(a) Service Outages Due to Power Failure or Disruption. Dependent upon your location, network backup power systems may be in place during the event of a power failure. The equipment provided may also provide limited battery backup. Consult with Matrix Connected Fiber to determine whether or not your equipment has battery backup.
i. Equipment with battery backup. Battery backup on qualifying equipment is limited. Excessive use during a power outage will result in shortened life of the internal battery. The equipment may provide indication of low battery voltage. Customer should contact Matrix Connected Fiber for instructions or replacement. Failure of network power backup systems or the internal backup system during a power failure or disruption will prevent all Service, including 911 dialing, from functioning.
ii. Equipment without battery backup. Equipment that does not have a battery backup cannot support 911 dialing in event of a power failure or disruption. If there is an interruption in the power supply, the Service, including 911 Dialing will not function until power is restored. Following a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or reconfigure the equipment prior to utilizing the Service, including 911 Dialing.
(b) Service Outages Due to Internet Outage or Suspension or Disconnection of Broadband Service or ISP Service. Service Outages due to Internet Outage or Suspension or Disconnect of Broadband Service or ISP will prevent all Service, including 911 dialing, from functioning. You understand you must obtain your own Internet connection, or obtain service from us (where available) to use the Service. We may not control your Internet access or the quality of your Internet connection. We are not responsible for problems caused by your Internet connection or for any third party products or service, nor will we contact any third party providers on your behalf.
(c) Service Outage Due to Disconnection of Your Matrix Connected Fiber Account. Service outages due to disconnection of your account will prevent all Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.
(d) Service Outages Due to ISP or Broadband Provider Blocking of Ports or Other Acts. Your ISP or broadband provider or other third party may intentionally or inadvertently block the ports over which the Service is provided or otherwise impede the usage of the Service. In that event, provided that you alert us to this situation, we will attempt to work with you to resolve the issue. During the period that the ports are being blocked or your Service is impeded, and unless and until the blocking or impediment is removed or the blocking or impediment is otherwise resolved, your Service, including the 911 Dialing feature, may not function. You acknowledge that Matrix Connected Fiber is not responsible for the blocking of ports by your ISP or broadband provider or any other impediment to your usage of the Service, and any loss of Service, including 911 Dialing, which may result. In the event you lose Service as a result of blocking of ports or any other impediment to your usage of the Service, you will continue to be responsible for payment of the Service charges unless and until you disconnect the Service in accordance with this Agreement.
(e) Other Service Outages. If there is a Service outage for any reason, such outage will prevent all Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning. SUCH OUTAGES MAY OCCUR FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE REASONS DESCRIBED ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT.
1.6 Network Congestion; Reduced Speed for Routing or Answering 911 Dialing Calls. There may be a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 Dialing call made utilizing the Service as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks.
1.7 Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification. We do not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using your 911 Dialing service are answered or addressed by any emergency response center. We disclaim all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centers and the national emergency calling center. We rely on third parties to assist us in routing 911 Dialing calls to local emergency response centers and to a national emergency calling center. We disclaim any and all liability or responsibility in the event such third party data used to route calls is incorrect or yields an erroneous result. NEITHER MATRIX CONNECTED FIBER NOR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, OR AGENTS MAY BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGE, OR LOSS, AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY AND ALL SUCH CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO OUR 911 DIALING SERVICE. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Matrix Connected Fiber, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to you in connection with the Service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including 911 Dialing, incorrectly routed 911 Dialing calls, and/or the inability of any user of the Service to be able to use 911 Dialing or access emergency service personnel.
1.8 Alternate 911 Arrangements. If you are not comfortable with the limitations of the 911 Dialing service, you should consider having an alternate means of accessing traditional 911 or E911 services or disconnecting the Service.
1.9 Non-exclusive, Non-transferable License; Retention of Rights. The right to use any of the Service granted to
the Customer is nonexclusive and nontransferable, and Customer shall prohibit use of the Service by any third party
other than Customer for such Customer’s internal business purposes.

2. SERVICE
2.1 Terms.
(a) Monthly Terms: Unless 2.1b applies, Service is offered on a month to month basis that begins on the date Matrix Connected Fiber activates your Service, unless activation is delayed due to circumstances beyond the customer’s control – then the term starts once the impediment to activation is removed and ends on the day before the same date in the following month; but in all events, billing will commence within six (6) months of execution of the Agreement. Should you postpone the date of activation more than one time, you will be charged two-hundred fifty dollars ($250) per location for each and every postponement after the first postponement. For purpose of clarity, the preceding sentence does not obligate us to grant a postponement of the activation date. Subsequent terms of this Agreement automatically renew on a monthly basis unless you give us written notice of non-renewal at least ten (10) days before the end of the monthly term in which the notice is given. You are purchasing the Service for full monthly terms, meaning that if you attempt to disconnect Service prior to the end of a monthly term, you will be responsible for the full month's charges to the end of the then-current term, including, without limitation, unbilled charges, plus a termination fee, if applicable, all of which will immediately become due and payable. You will also be responsible for the next full month's charges in the event that you do not provide the requisite ten-day notice of disconnection prior to the expiration of the then current term. Expiration of the term, suspension or disconnection of Service will not excuse you from paying all accrued and unpaid charges due under this Agreement.
(b) Term Agreements: Some products/services are available under a term agreement (Term). The Term starts on the day of the last billed new Service, or product (if applicable) whichever is later, and billing for Service commences when each Service is activated, unless activation is delayed due to circumstances beyond the customer’s control—then the billing starts once the impediment to activation is removed; but in all events, billing will commence within six (6) months of execution of the Agreement. Should you postpone the date of activation more than one time, you will be charged two-hundred fifty dollars ($250) per location for each and every postponement after the first postponement. For purpose of clarity, the preceding sentence does not obligate us to grant a postponement of the activation date. The Term and will automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms thereafter (in each case, a “Renewal Term”), until terminated in accordance with the remaining terms of this Agreement.
i. Either party may terminate a Term Agreement, for any reason or for no reason, at the end of the current term or any Renewal Term by providing the other party with not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice of termination.
ii. Either party may terminate a Term Agreement if the other party has committed a material breach of this Agreement, and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of the date the party in breach receives written notice of the breach.

iii. Before the end of the any term or Renewal Term, and without your breaching this Agreement, you may terminate a Term Agreement with respect to all Services by written notification to us. The Agreement shall terminate thirty (30) days thereafter, at which time you shall pay us a termination charge equal to the sum of one hundred percent (100%) of the remaining minimum monthly fees that would have been incurred for the remainder of the Term of this Agreement (the "Termination Charge"), plus all fees incurred prior to the date of termination of services.

What types of information does this Privacy Policy cover?
Matrix Connected Fiber collects various types of information about Customers and Customers’ use of the Service via the Matrix Connected Fiber Website, Help Desk and call centers, postal mail, remote kiosks, the Matrix Connected Fiber Facebook Page or other social network platforms or by other means, generally classified as Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
Generally, the Customer will be required to provide certain information to Matrix Connected Fiber and Matrix Connected Fiber will collect and use Personal Information in connection with providing the Service to Customer, including to personalize, evaluate, enhance and improve the Service and our ability to provide the Service to Customer, to contact Customer, to respond to and fulfill Customer requests regarding the Service, to troubleshoot, and to analyze how Customer uses the Service.
Matrix Connected Fiber may share Your Personal Information with its Affiliates and with other third parties business and operational reasons as described below:
What Information does Matrix Connected Fiber collect and how does Matrix Connected Fiber use this Information?
Personal Information
Personal Information is the information Customer provides to Matrix Connected Fiber voluntarily or passively through Customer’s use of the Service and/or Matrix Connected Fiber Website, and which is directly associated with or reasonably linked to a specific person, computer or device. For example, through the registration process, when the equipment to provide the Service is installed, maintained or upgraded at Customer’s premises, when Customer contacts Matrix Connected Fiber regarding the Service, and through Customer account settings, Matrix Connected Fiber may collect traditional Personal Information such as Customer name, email address, phone number, date of birth, billing address and service address. IP address and other persistent device identifiers such as cookies, plus the nature of any of Customer devices or other personal property making use of the Service, web-browsing or app usage history are traditionally classified as Non-Personal Information but could be classified as Personal Information when such information is either 1) linked to a specific person, computer or device; 2) is required by applicable law to be classified as Personal Information; or 3) is combined with other Personal Information. We use such Personal Information to provide, enhance and/or customize Our Service and communications with you. We may also collect and use additional Personal Information that is deemed to be sensitive for billing, collection and identity verification purposes, such as credit card account number or other financial account information, Social Security Number, EIN Number, and driver’s license information. Another type of Sensitive Personal Information we may collect and use for delivering and customizing the Service and/or troubleshooting is a Customer’s specific geographic location.
Matrix Connected Fiber will communicate with Customer if Customer has provided Matrix Connected Fiber the means to do so. For example, if Customer has given Matrix Connected Fiber Customer’s email address or phone number, Matrix Connected Fiber will email or call Customer about Customer use of the Service or product improvements or upgrades, and other transactional information about Customer Service.
Matrix Connected Fiber may also combine Customer Personal Information with additional Personal Information obtained from Matrix Connected Fiber Facebook Pages or other social network platforms, its Affiliates, its Operational Service Providers (third party owned companies that provide or perform services on Matrix Connected Fiber’s behalf, to help serve Customer better and to perform functions in order to support Matrix Connected Fiber businesses and operations), or other companies, such as credit bureaus, background check firms, and marketing research companies.
Some forms of Non-Personal Information as described below will be classified as Personal Information if required by applicable law or when such information is directly associated with or reasonably linked to a specific person, computer or device, or is combined with other forms of Personal Information.
Non-Personal Information
Matrix Connected Fiber Website Information, Use of Cookies and other Similar Tracking Technology
When you visit the Matrix Connected Fiber Website, Matrix Connected Fiber will collect various types of Non-Personal Information, such as information on Matrix Connected Fiber server logs from Customer’s browser or device, which may also include the type of browser and/or device you’re using to access the Service, and the page or feature Customer requested, in addition to IP Address and other persistent device identifiers like cookies. Cookies are text file identifiers Matrix Connected Fiber transfers to Customer’s browser or device that allow Matrix Connected Fiber, with web beacons (also known as pixel tags, web bugs, or clear GIFs are small objects or images embedded in a webpage or email) to recognize Customer’s browser or device and tell Matrix Connected Fiber how and when pages and features on the Matrix Connected Fiber Website are visited, by how many people, and other activity on the Matrix Connected Fiber Website. Cookies alone do not contain Personal Information unless you or a third party gives us Personal Information which may be linked to the data in the cookie. For example, we may use a cookie to remember your password and user ID when accessing your profile on the Matrix Connected Fiber Website.
A Customer can change the preferences on Customer’s browser or device to prevent or limit Customer device’s acceptance of cookies or other similar technology, but this may prevent Customer from taking advantage of some of the features on the Matrix Connected Fiber Website, or accessing certain functions and conveniences like bill payment or easy access to your profile. If Customer clicks on a link to a third party website or service, such third party may also transmit cookies to Customer. Again, this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies or other such tracking technology by any third parties, and Matrix Connected Fiber is not responsible for their privacy policies and practices.
Additional Uses of Personal Information and Non-Personal Information
Matrix Connected Fiber also uses Personal Information and Non-Personal Information to enhance and customize the Matrix Connected Fiber Website and Matrix Connected Fiber Service offerings. For example, such information can tell Matrix Connected Fiber how often visitors use a particular feature of the Matrix Connected Fiber Website and which products and services are most interesting to current and potential customers, and Matrix Connected Fiber can use that knowledge to make the Matrix Connected Fiber Website useful and interesting to as many users as possible and to enhance and refine Matrix Connected Fiber’s Service offerings. Matrix Connected Fiber will continue to conduct analytics on Matrix Connected Fiber Website performance; Customer may not opt-out of this use of cookies or other Personal Information or Non-Personal Information.
Technology is improving every day and to improve Matrix Connected Fiber’s Services, operation and function, Matrix Connected Fiber may introduce new technologies and monitoring techniques without advance notice or consent from Customer. Matrix Connected Fiber may also use third party providers to conduct such monitoring and internal analyses.
Network Information
Matrix Connected Fiber also collects Network Information, information about Customer access to, and use of, the Matrix Connected Fiber Network, which may or may not be directly associated with or reasonably linked to a specific person, computer or device. For example, Matrix Connected Fiber may collect information about the performance of the Provider Equipment installed on Customer property or at Customer premises, when Customer is using the Service, the various devices Customer is using to access the Service, the amount of data Customer is transmitting and receiving, the content of the data Customer are transmitting and receiving, the websites Customer is visiting, and any other information that is transmitted over the Matrix Connected Fiber Network. Matrix Connected Fiber may also aggregate Network Information from multiple subscribers and Matrix Connected Fiber will share such aggregated Non-Personal information about the overall performance of the Matrix Connected Fiber Service and network with other third parties. Aggregated information does not identify a specific individual, computer or device.

How is Personal Information used for marketing and advertising purposes?
Matrix Connected Fiber will use Personal Information to send Customer marketing and advertising messages related to Matrix Connected Fiber’s Service and the Matrix Connected Fiber Website using Customer’s email address, postal address, telephone number (for voice, texts, and pre-recorded calls), and/or IP Address. Matrix Connected Fiber may deliver a marketing or advertising message based on Customer visits to the Matrix Connected Fiber Website, which will be general advertising or “Contextual Advertising,” which is advertising based on the subject matter or the content of the specific website page or subject matter. Matrix Connected Fiber may also send Customer “First Party Advertising,” which is advertising that is customized or personalized based on a history of Customer’s use of our Service (possibly combined with information from our Facebook fan page or other social network platforms). First Party Advertising is based solely on a combination of information Matrix Connected Fiber collects from Customer – not from Customer’s visits to other websites across the Internet.
Customer may opt-out of First Party Advertising but not Contextual Advertising. No traditional Personal Information is used to deliver Contextual Advertising; it automatically will appear based on the content or webpage Customer is viewing. And Customer may continue to receive general advertising if Customer opts-out of First Party Advertising, it will not be customized or personalized for Customer.
Matrix Connected Fiber does not provide third party “Network Advertising,” which is advertising based on Customer’s overall Internet usage across different third party websites or online services. Multiple third party websites and online services are involved in this tailored or personalized advertising process, in essence a “network” of advertising providers.
Because Matrix Connected Fiber does not provide network ads, Matrix Connected Fiber does not recognize the “Do Not Track” settings on various Internet browsers. Matrix Connected Fiber does not engage or allow third parties to track you across the Internet and across time for advertising purposes.
Links to other websites or online services
The Matrix Connected Fiber Website and/or Facebook Pages (or other social networking platforms) may contain a variety of content and functionality and may provide links to other third party websites or online services. Despite such links, this Privacy Policy applies only to Matrix Connected Fiber. The presence of a link does not constitute or imply Matrix Connected Fiber’s endorsement, recommendation, or sponsorship of the content, goods, services, business or privacy practices on such websites or online services. Matrix Connected Fiber encourages Customers to be aware and informed when Customers leave Matrix Connected Fiber’s website and Matrix Connected Fiber’s Facebook Pages, or any other social networking platforms.
Will Matrix Connected Fiber share Customer Personal Information?
Customer’s Personal Information will only be disclosed to third parties as listed in this Privacy Policy, if Matrix Connected Fiber has received your consent at the time Matrix Connected Fiber will collect your Personal Information, prior to the disclosure of any Personal Information, or if required by law or due process. Matrix Connected Fiber reserves the right to fully use, disclose and process any Non-Personal Information collected from Customer in any manner as well as any information Customer makes public via Matrix Connected Fiber Services or Matrix Connected Fiber Website.
Matrix Connected Fiber will not rent, sell, nor disclose Personal Information to anyone not related to Matrix Connected Fiber for marketing or promotional purposes, unless Matrix Connected Fiber changes ownership via a sale, merger or a corporate restructuring. (See “For Business Transfers” below for more information.) Matrix Connected Fiber will share Customer Personal Information with other third parties as described in this section for the following reasons:
- To Our Affiliates.Matrix Connected Fiber may rely on various Affiliates in order to provide the Service to Customers.

- To Operational Service Providers: Matrix Connected Fiber and its Affiliates contract with other companies and people to perform tasks or services on Matrix Connected Fiber’s behalf and need to share Customer Personal Information to provide products or services to Customers. For example, Matrix Connected Fiber may use a payment processing company to receive and process Customer’s ACH or credit card transactions for Matrix Connected Fiber, or Matrix Connected Fiber may contract with third parties to assist Matrix Connected Fiber in optimizing Matrix Connected Fiber’s network. Unless Matrix Connected Fiber tells Customer differently, Matrix Connected Fiber does not grant its Operational Service Providers any right to use the Personal Information Matrix Connected Fiber shares with them beyond what is necessary to assist Matrix Connected Fiber.
- For Business Transfers/Restructuring:Matrix Connected Fiber may choose to buy or sell assets, or Matrix Connected Fiber may sell assets or be sold. In these types of transactions, Customer Personal Information is typically one of the business assets that would be disclosed and transferred. Also, if Matrix Connected Fiber (or Matrix Connected Fiber’s assets) are acquired, or Matrix Connected Fiber goes out of business, enters bankruptcy, or goes through some other change of control, including restructuring, re-organization or financing arrangements, Personal Information would be one of the assets disclosed, transferred to or acquired by a third party.

- When Required by Law or in Response to Legal Process: Matrix Connected Fiber reserves the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any Personal Information to which Matrix Connected Fiber has access if Matrix Connected Fiber is required by law, regulation or legal process to do so, or if Matrix Connected Fiber has a good faith belief that Matrix Connected Fiber is required by law, regulation or legal process to do so.
Is Customer Personal Information secure?
Matrix Connected Fiber endeavors to protect the privacy of Customer’s account and other Personal Information Matrix Connected Fiber holds in its records using reasonable administrative, technical and physical security measures. However, Matrix Connected Fiber cannot and will not guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of Personal Information at any time.
Customer’s account is protected by a password for Customer privacy and security. It is Customer’s responsibility to prevent unauthorized access to Customer’s account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting Customer’s password and/or other sign-on mechanism appropriately and limiting access to Customer computer, tablet or device and browser by signing off after Customer has finished accessing Customer’s account. Customer is required to notify us immediately if Customer’s password or account has been disclosed to a person whose name does not appear on Customer’s account, even if you have allowed such disclosure. Customer understands, acknowledges and agrees that Customer is solely responsible for any use of Matrix Connected Fiber Services via Customer’s username and password.
Additionally, if Customer contacts Matrix Connected Fiber, Matrix Connected Fiber will ask Customer for verification of Customer’s identification and account. Matrix Connected Fiber will not send an email or text, nor should Customer respond to any email or text communications asking for any sensitive or confidential Personal Information, such as social security number, bank account or credit card account number, or a driver’s license number. If Customer receives an email or text requesting any such information from Matrix Connected Fiber or someone that claims they are with Matrix Connected Fiber please contact our Privacy Administrator immediately: customersupport@matrixconnectedfiber.com

When Customer updates Personal Information, however, Matrix Connected Fiber may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in Matrix Connected Fiber’s records for internal security reasons and recordkeeping. Some information may remain in Matrix Connected Fiber’s records after it is modified, amended or deleted by Customer or Matrix Connected Fiber. Matrix Connected Fiber may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating Customer’s Personal Information after Customer updates or deletes it, but not in a manner that would identify Customer personally.

The information Customer can view, update, and delete may also change. If Customer has any questions about viewing or updating information Matrix Connected Fiber has on file about Customer, please contact Matrix Connected Fiber at customersupport@matrixconnectedfiber.com
What third party disclosure choices do Customers have?
Customers can always choose not to disclose Personal Information to Matrix Connected Fiber; however, certain Personal Information is necessary for Matrix Connected Fiber to provide the Service to Customer. Customer may not opt out of sharing Personal Information for business or operational purposes but may opt-out of any sharing for marketing or advertising purposes.
Customers may opt out of email marketing and advertising from Matrix Connected Fiber or its Affiliates using the “Unsubscribe” mechanism in each email. Before Matrix Connected Fiber sends Customers a text or a pre-recorded or artificial voice call that contains advertising or marketing information, Matrix Connected Fiber will secure Customer’s prior written express consent, which can be given via a voice recording, email, text message, postal mail, or telephone key press. (Non-telemarketing pre-recorded/artificial voice calls (including texts) to a wireless device or a wireline residential phone using an autodialer only require a Customer’s prior express consent). Customers understand, acknowledge and agree that such texts and pre-recorded/artificial telemarketing calls may be sent using an autodialer and are not conditioned on your purchase of the Service. Customers may opt out of receiving text messages any time by replying “STOP” or “UNSUBSCRIBE” to the text message. Customers may opt out of receiving pre-recorded/artificial voice calls by the opt-out instructions in the call. Customer can also request to be added to Matrix Connected Fiber’s company-specific Do Not Call list to opt-out of advertising and marketing calls of all types. However, Customers will continue to receive calls related to debt-collection and Customer’s current Service.

Will this Privacy Policy ever change?
Yes, Matrix Connected Fiber is constantly working to improve the Service, so Matrix Connected Fiber will need to update this Privacy Policy from time to time as Matrix Connected Fiber’s business practices change and service offerings increase, and/or there are changes in local, state or federal laws. Additionally, Matrix Connected Fiber will also make stylistic, organizational and/or grammatical changes to present Matrix Connected Fiber privacy practices in a user friendly easy to read manner. Matrix Connected Fiber will alert Customers to any such changes by placing a notice on the Matrix Connected Fiber Website with the effective date of the revised Privacy Policy, and/or by sending Customers an email, or by some other means to the extent required by law. Please note that if Customers have not provided Matrix Connected Fiber with Customer’s email address or Customer has not updated Customer contact information, those legal notices will still govern Customer use of the Service, and Customer is still responsible for reading and understanding all notices posted on the Matrix Connected Fiber Website. Customer’s continued use of the Service or the Matrix Connected Fiber Website after notice of any changes have been provided will indicate Customer’s acceptance of such changes, except where further steps are required by applicable law.

If Matrix Connected Fiber elects to use or to disclose Personal Information that identifies Matrix Connected Fiber as an individual in a manner that is materially different than that stated in the Privacy Policy in effect at the time you subscribed to the Service or visited the Matrix Connected Fiber Website, Matrix Connected Fiber will provide Customer with an opportunity to consent to such use or disclosure.
