PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY

This Agreement is entered into between you as our customer ("you", "your", "Company") and Verizon Online LLC. ("Verizon", "we", "our") and includes these Terms of Service, our Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), as set forth at Acceptable Use Policy, Email Policy and other Policies, as set forth at verizon.com/terms, as well as our Privacy policies located at www.verizon.com/about/privacy/. (collectively, "Agreement"). By accepting this Agreement, you agree to comply with its terms and the specific terms of the service plan you selected (including the plan's duration and applicable early termination fee). Your acceptance of this Agreement occurs upon the earliest of: (a) submission of your order; (b) your acceptance of the Agreement electronically or in the course of installing the Software; (c) your use of the Service; or (d) your retention of the Software we provide beyond thirty (30) days following delivery.

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

1. Services and Definitions. The term "Service" shall mean any Verizon Internet access service based on digital subscriber loop (DSL) technology which includes services marketed under the High Speed Internet for Business or DSL name with or without local service (collectively "HSI Service"), any Verizon Internet access service delivered over a fiber optic transmission facility which includes services marketed under Verizon FiOS^SM Internet Service for Business ("FiOS Service") and the following "Additional Services" which may be made available to you for a separate charge or included with your HSI Service or FiOS Service: Dial-Up Mobility, Verizon Wi-Fi, Verizon Internet Security Suite ("VISS"), VISS Multi-Device Powered by McAfee, Storage Services, including service marketed as Verizon Online Backup and Sharing ("VOBS"), Verizon.net email, Verizon Business (Domain Name) EMail Service ("EM Service"), Verizon Encrypted Mail, Verizon Encrypted Docs, technical support marketed as Concierge for Business or Verizon Premium Technical Support for Business ("PTS") and Verizon Domain Names. The Service includes all Software (as defined in Section 10 below), Content, domain name server (DNS), and related services (including functionality that enables the delivery of Verizon messages to your internet browser), Verizon Web Sites and such other Verizon 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 and any sub- or secondary accounts associated with a primary account. "Content" shall mean content provided by Verizon or its third party licensors, providers or suppliers and accessible on the Service, including without limitation images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, and text, with the exception of content uploaded by and stored on behalf of users. "Verizon Web Site(s)" mean the sites located at verizon.com/smallbusiness and business.verizon.com which are comprised of various web pages, tools, information, software, Content, and features operated by Verizon. "Bundled Service(s)" means a combination or "bundle" of HSI Service or FiOS Service with one or more other eligible Verizon services, including but not limited to Verizon FiOS TV and voice telephone service.

2. Term and Termination; Changes to Service.
   1. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall be effective upon your acceptance of this Agreement, as provided above, and shall continue until you or we terminate this Agreement as permitted herein. If you subscribe to a plan with a minimum term commitment (a "Term Plan"), you agree to maintain your Service or Bundled Service for the duration of that Term Plan, including any renewal Terms, if applicable. Your Term Plan begins on the later of:  (a) the date you change your existing Service plan to a Term Plan; or (b) your Service Ready Date; for Bundled Services, your Term Plan begins once all Bundled Services have been provisioned. You will begin receiving any Term Plan or other discount associated with a Bundled Service plan once all Bundled Services have been provisioned. Depending on the plan selected, your Term Plan will either expire at the end of the initial minimum term commitment period or will automatically renew for the same number of months as the initial minimum term commitment period (a "renewal Term"). If a Term Plan expries, your Service will continue and automatically convert to month-to-month rates that may be higher than Term rates. If you subscribe to a Term Plan with automatic renewals, your Term Plan will renew after each initial and renewal Term at then-current Term rates unless you or we cancel the renewal by contacting the other within the 60 day period before or the 30 day period after the renewal date. When you select a Term Plan, the monthly rates, minimum term periods, renewal terms, early termination fee (ETF) and other terms of that plan will also apply and become part of this agreement. In the event you change Service or Bundled Service plans, your monthly rate and term commitment may change (depending on the plan you select); otherwise, the terms of this Agreement will remain in effect unless otherwise provided. We reserve the right to terminate the Service (or any part thereof) in the event we cease to offer the Service generally or to your location. If we cease offering the Service (or any part thereof), we will give you at least thirty (30) days advance notice.
   2. Changes to Service. We reserve the right to change the Service (or any part thereof), including but not limited to HSI Service, FiOS Service, Additional Services, Content or applications or features of the Service at any time with or without notice to you. If such a change materially and adversely affects your use of the Service, and we cannot reasonably mitigate the impact, then, as your sole and exclusive remedy, you may terminate the Service without further obligation.
   3. Changes to Local Voice Telephone Service. If you change or discontinue your local telephone service, we may in our discretion either terminate your Service or continue to provide Service without Verizon local voice service at the then-current rates, terms and conditions applicable to your new Service plan, and you agree to pay any new or higher monthly fee that may apply to your new Service plan. If we elect to terminate your Service under this Section 2 (c) then we reserve the right to charge any applicable early termination fees and to apply the Equipment return terms under Section 6 below.
   4. Move/Down-grade/Up-grade Order Change Activities and Associated Fees. You may down-grade speed connections within your selected Service plan or, subject to facilities availability, move your existing Service or phone line to another qualified Service or phone line for no additional charge; your Term Plan will not be altered as a result of such change order activity. In the event you up-grade to a Bundle Service plan, a new term commitment (depending on the plan you select) will apply starting on the effective date of your new Bundle Service plan. In the event you up-grade speed connections within your selected Service plan, additional charges may apply, subject to the terms and conditions for the new Service plan.
   5. Conversion from HSI Service to FiOS Service. Service is available on a limited basis based on your service address. FiOS Service uses special fiber optic transmission facilities provided by your local Verizon telephone company. When Verizon is able to provision Service utilizing fiber optic technologies, we may in our discretion terminate your HSI Service and cease offering HSI Service to your location. In such case, we will offer you FiOS Service at the then applicable rates and terms, which may differ from your previous HSI Service rates and terms. As your sole and exclusive remedy, you may terminate the Service without further obligation.
   
   
3. Prices/Billing. For any Service or Bundled Service, we will give you at least thirty (30) calendar days prior notice of a price increase in the manner set forth in Section8(e) below. Prices for Term Plan Services are guaranteed until the expiration or next renewal date of the Term Plan, as applicable, subject to the provisions of this section. A price change shall not apply to a Term Plan until the next renewal date following the notice of the price change. Your continued use of the Service or Bundled Service after a price change is effective constitutes your acceptance of the price change. If you change your Service or Bundled Service or your Term Plan, you agree to pay the applicable monthly fee that may apply to your new Term Plan. You agree to pay all charges associated with the 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) early termination fees, and j) other non recurring charges. Notwithstanding the pricing guarantee set forth above, 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 overall monthly charge. The amounts and what is included in such charges are subject to change. 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. You acknowledge that you may also incur data charges or fees from a wireless or internet service provider (which may be Verizon or a third party) for accessing online services or purchasing products and services through interactive options available through the Service. You are solely responsible for all charges or fees payable to Verizon and third parties, including all applicable taxes, and you are solely responsible for protecting the security of credit card and other personal information provided to third parties in conection with such transactions. Monthly Service and Bundled Service recurring charges will be billed one month in advance. Billing for Service will automatically begin on the date provisioning of your Service is complete ("Service Ready Date") unless you are notified otherwise by Verizon. We may, at our election, waive any fees or charges. You will begin receiving any discount associated with a Bundled Services plan once all Bundled Services have been provisioned. Verizon or its agent will bill you directly, or bill your credit or debit card or your local Verizon telephone bill (where available in selected areas only), as you request and as approved by Verizon. IF YOU ELECT TO BE BILLED FOR YOUR SERVICE ON YOUR CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD, VERIZON PHONE WILL CONTINUE TO BILL THE CARD UNTIL YOU TELL US TO CANCEL SUCH BILLING, AND YOU ALSO AGREE THAT VERIZON MAY RECEIVE UPDATED CARD INFORMATION FROM YOUR CARD ISSUER. IF YOU ELECT TO BE BILLED FOR YOUR SERVICE ON YOUR VERIZON PHONE BILL, BY USING THE SERVICES YOU AGREE TO HAVE VERIZON CHARGES INCLUDED ON YOUR PHONE BILL. IF YOU SUBSCRIBE TO A BUNDLED SERVICE PLAN, THEN ALL OF THE SERVICES INCLUDED IN THE BUNDLED SERVICE PLAN MUST BE BILLED ON YOUR PHONE BILL. If you cancel any component of a Bundled Services plan, the monthly charges for the remaining services on your account will automatically convert to the applicable existing, non-discounted month-to-month service rate. You may only take advantage of one promotional pricing offer during any consecutive twelve-month period. Eligibility for promotional offers may be contingent upon payment of all outstanding Verizon charges. If you enroll in Verizon's Paperless Billing program, you agree to view and pay your bill electronically each month and to promptly update your e-mail address with Verizon if it changes. You will no longer receive a paper bill. Instead, each month you will receive an e-mail notifying you that your bill is available online for viewing and payment at verizon.com. You must continue to pay your paper bill until you receive your first e-mail notification that your bill is available online. If your electronic payment is rejected for any reason, Verizon may charge a return item fee (where permissible), cancel your enrollment in the Paperless Billing program and resume sending you paper bills.


4. Payment, Late Fee and Consent Regarding Credit. We will invoice you monthly or on a prepaid basis, as applicable. 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. In the event Verizon utilizes a collection agency or takes legal action to recover monies due, you agree to reimburse Verizon for all expenses incurred to recover such monies (including attorney's fees). We may evaluate your credit history before modifying or providing you Service. In order to establish an account with us and/or obtain or modify Service, we may obtain a report from a credit agency or exchange information with our affiliates in connection with determining your creditworthiness. If you fail to pay your bill, we may submit a negative credit report to credit reporting agencies which will negatively affect your credit report. You may be given the option to select a prepaid service plan ("Prepaid Service Plan") which will begin on the later of (a) the date of your order, or (b) the date you change to the Prepaid Service Plan. There will be no refunds for Prepaid Service Plans. At the end of any Prepaid Service Plan, you may be given the option to select a new Prepaid Service Plan. If you do not select a new Prepaid Service Plan, your Service will automatically convert to the then then-current month-to-month rate.
5. Refundable Deposit. We may require that you provide us with a refundable deposit, which will be specified at the time of your order ("Subscriber Deposit"). We may also require an additional deposit after activation of the Service if you fail to pay any amounts when due. Within ninety (90) days after termination of your Service, we will return your Subscriber Deposit, less any unpaid amounts due on your account, including any amounts owed for unreturned or damaged Equipment. Amounts held on deposit will not accrue interest except as required by law.


6. Renewal and Cancellation; Money Back Guarantee, Early Termination Fees and Equipment Charges.
   1. Renewal or Cancellation. Upon expiration or cancellation of the Term Plan, we may continue to provide you with Service on a month-to-month basis, at our then-current monthly price. You may contact us to subscribe to another available Term Plan at then-current Term rates. If you subscribe to an automatic renewal Term Plan, your Term Plan will automatically renew at the end of the initial Term and at the end of each successive renewal Term, at the then-current Term rates, unless you contact us to cancel within 60 days before or first 30 days after the renewal date. Verizon will provide you a reminder before each renewal date. If you wish to cancel your Service or renewal, or wish to select another plan, you may do so by calling 1-800-VERIZON (800-837-4966).
   2. Money Back Guarantee, Early Termination Fee & Equipment Charges. If we provide a money-back guarantee ("MBG") for your Service, it will begin when billing for your Service starts. During this MBG period you may cancel the Service and receive a full refund of all monthly charges paid as well as any one-time charges and Equipment charges paid to Verizon (provided you return all Equipment in good working condition). An Early Termination Fee ("ETF") will not apply to Service terminated within the MBG period. If you cancel your Service prior to your billing date or within the MBG period, you will be required to return to Verizon any routers or Equipment that you rented, or that you received at no additional charge, from Verizon; Verizon will provide you with a pre-paid mailing label and instructions for the return of your Equipment. In the event you fail to return the Equipment, an additional charge for the unreturned Equipment will apply. The MBG does not apply if you change between or renew service plans. The MBG is limited to one per Company per Service type per Service address. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, if Service provided pursuant to a Term Plan is removed or terminated by you (or by us if you breach this Agreement) before you have completed the then-current initial or renewal Term, then you agree to pay Verizon the ETF set forth in the pricing plan you have chosen. In addition, if you cancel Service after any applicable MBG period, you agree to pay us all Service fees accrued as of the cancellation date, and additionally, if you terminate Service prior to the end of the first year of Service and you received Equipment at no charge from Verizon, you will be required to return the Equipment to Verizon; failure to do so will result in an additional equipment charge. We will provide you with a pre-paid mailing label and instructions for the return of your Equipment. If you terminate Service at your location, your existing Term Plan cannot be carried over to a new Service location. It is agreed that Verizon's damages, if you cancel your Service, are difficult or impossible to ascertain; therefore, the provisions of this Section are intended to establish liquidated damages in the event of cancellation and are not intended as a penalty.
   
   
7. No Warranties. ADVICE OR INFORMATION GIVEN BY VERIZON OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES SHALL NOT CREATE A WARRANTY. USE OF VERIZON TECHNICAL SUPPORT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS NOT WARRANTED. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, VERIZON AND ITS THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, PROVIDERS AND SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM, WITH RESPECT TO ALL SERVICES, ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR ARISING BY COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, DEALING, CUSTOM OR TRADE USAGE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE (EVEN IF WE KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN SUCH PURPOSE) AND NONINFRINGEMENT. YOU AGREE THAT THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS.
   
   IN ADDITION, VERIZON DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT SERVICE CAN BE PROVISIONED TO YOUR LOCATION, OR THAT PROVISIONING WILL OCCUR ACCORDING TO A SPECIFIED SCHEDULE. THE PROVISIONING AND PERFORMANCE (SPEED) OF THE SERVICE IS SUBJECT TO CIRCUIT OR OTHER NETWORK FACILITY AVAILABILITY AND OTHER FACTORS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOOP LENGTH, THE CONDITION OF YOUR TELEPHONE LINE AND WIRING INSIDE YOUR LOCATION, AND COMPUTER/DEVICE CONFIGURATION AND CAPABILITIES AND NETWORK/INTERNET CONGESTION, AMONG OTHER FACTORS. IN THE EVENT YOUR LINE IS NOT PROVISIONED FOR ANY REASON, NEITHER YOU NOR VERIZON SHALL HAVE ANY DUTIES OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (OTHER THAN YOUR OBLIGATION TO RETURN ANY VERIZON-PROVIDED EQUIPMENT). VERIZON DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR EQUIPMENT PROVIDED BY VERIZON WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS, PERFORM AT A PARTICULAR SPEED, BANDWIDTH OR DATA THROUGHPUT RATE, OR WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES, WORMS, DISABLING CODE OR CONDITIONS, OR THE LIKE.

You agree to comply with the terms of service that apply to any websites or other services you access on the Internet and agree that the third party provider of such services (and not Verizon) is solely responsible for the delivery of its services(s) to you and your use of them. Third party services include, but are not limited to, portal, music, video, auction, security, financial, gaming, storage and photography services, whether or not Verizon has made such services available to you.

    8. All title and intellectual property rights (including without limitation, copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets) in and to the Verizon Web Sites (including but not limited to, related software, images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, text, and Content), are owned by Verizon, its affiliates or licensors.

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.

Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

   1. Service Description and Scope of Support. Verizon Premium Technical Support for Business, which may also be referred to as Business Concierge Tech Support, is a service intended to address issues outside the scope of Verizon's standard technical support. PTS includes: (a) configuration troubleshooting; (b) evaluation of and attempts to correct software, operating systems and networking issues; (c) virus/spyware support; and (d) software and peripherals support for network, video and sound cards, memory, hard drives, CD/DVD reader/writers, printers, scanners and home networking equipment. All PTS services are offered in English only.
   2. Limitations of PTS.
      1. PTS does not support all software, hardware or Internet-related products, applications or features and we reserve the right to defer support issues to your equipment or software vendor. PTS does not include training on hardware or software use.
      2. PTS is not intended to replace the more advanced technical support that may be available from hardware or software manufacturers.
      3. PTS is for incident-specific troubleshooting and problem resolution, and excludes: i) computer programming; ii) software development; iii) warranty repairs or product replacement; iv) support for Windows® 95 and earlier versions of Windows; v) support of MAC operating systems earlier than OS X; vi) problems or issues arising out of any impermissible or unauthorized use or modification of a product or vii) upgrades of firmware, software, operating systems, or applications. Use of PTS does not constitute a license to use the software, applications or equipment being supported, or an upgrade thereto. You are responsible for obtaining any necessary licenses to use your software and applications.
      4. In some cases, we may not be able to diagnose or resolve a problem because of complications with your computer or its configuration. PTS is offered as a "best efforts" service and without warranty except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. We reserve the right to refuse to troubleshoot software not on our list of supported products.
      5. You understand and agree that technical problems may be the result of software or hardware errors not yet resolved by the product manufacturer, and that we may not have the ability to obtain the information necessary to resolve a specific technical problem.
   3. Your Responsibilities.
      1. In order for us to provide PTS, you must first confirm that you have: a) full access (including any required licenses) to the hardware and/or software that is the basis of the problem; and (b) completed a back-up of any data, software, information or other files stored on your computer disks and/or drives that may be impacted. Verizon is not responsible for the loss, corruption or alteration of data, software or files that may result from performance of PTS by our technicians. You also acknowledge and agree that you are the owner or authorized user of any hardware or software about which you are contacting us. PTS is only available to you and those residing at your location. PTS is not transferrable to any third party.
      2. You agree to cooperate with and follow instructions provided by Verizon and acknowledge that such cooperation by you is essential to our delivery of PTS to you.
      3. You hereby grant Verizon permission to view, access and modify your computer, computer (including registry) settings and any related software or peripheral equipment, including all data, hardware and software components, in order to perform PTS.
      4. You are responsible for any and all restoration and reconstruction of lost or altered files, data, or programs, and for ensuring that any information or data disclosed to Verizon is not confidential or proprietary to you or any third party.
   4. Support Procedures.
      1. Purchase Terms. PTS can be purchased either: (a) for an unlimited number of Incidents for a term beginning on the date you order PTS and continuing for the duration of the plan you selected ("Term Plan"); or (b) on a per-Incident basis (the "Per-Incident Service Plan"). For the Per-Incident Service Plan, Verizon will address a single Incident (as defined in Section 5 (ii) below) which shall include follow-up calls, as reasonable and necessary, regarding the Incident. Once an Incident is resolved (as set forth in Section 5 (iii) below), you may call back and obtain assistance on the same Incident for up to seventy-two (72) hours at no additional charge, after which the Incident will be considered closed. Once an Incident has been closed by Verizon, any further calls or requests for assistance will be considered a new Incident and additional fees will apply if you subscribe to our Per-Incident Service Plan. IF YOU PURCHASE PTS UNDER A TERM PLAN AND YOUR SERVICE IS TERMINATED BY YOU (OR BY US IF YOU BREACH THIS AGREEMENT) BEFORE COMPLETING YOUR TERM, THEN, UPON TERMINATION OF YOUR SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO PAY VERIZON AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE IN THE AMOUNT SET FORTH IN THE PLAN YOU HAVE CHOSEN.
      2. "Incident" means a specific, discrete problem for which Verizon will attempt to isolate its origin to a single cause. Verizon, in its sole discretion, will determine what constitutes an Incident.
      3. An Incident will be considered resolved when you receive one of the following: (a) information or advice that resolves the Incident; (b) information on how to obtain a software solution that will resolve the Incident; (c) notice that the Incident is caused by a known, unresolved issue or an incompatibility issue; (d) information that the Incident can be resolved by upgrading to a newer release of a product; (e) notice that the Incident has been identified as a hardware equipment issue; or if (f) you cannot, or elect not to, pursue the course of action we recommend.
      4. Our advice to you may include steps that you will need to take before the Incident can be resolved, such as buying cables or cords, acquiring software, etc. and we will keep your service request open for future reference when you are ready to resume the process.
   5. Third Party Warranties. Third-party equipment, software and peripheral products are covered by the warranties provided by the original manufacturer or the seller of the product. Third party warranties may vary from product to product. It is your responsibility to consult the applicable product documentation for specific warranty information. In addition, you acknowledge that certain third party equipment or software warranties may limit or void the remedies that they offer if unauthorized persons perform support service on the equipment or software. It is your responsibility to ensure that any impact that Verizon's delivery of PTS might have on third party warranties is acceptable to you.
   6. Customer Specific Service. PTS is only available to you and to persons you authorize. In either case, the terms of this Agreement will apply to the PTS services we perform.
   7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. VERIZON'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE PTS SERVICE, OR FROM VERIZON'S NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER ACTS OR OMISSIONS, IF ANY, SHALL BE LIMITED, AT VERIZON'S SOLE DISCRETION AND OPTION, (A) TO REPERFORMING THE PTS SERVICE, OR (B) AS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 18 AND 19 OF THE AGREEMENT; EXCEPT THAT, IN THE CASE OF PER-INCIDENT SERVICE PLANS, YOUR REMEDIES WILL BE LIMITED TO A REFUND OF THE CHARGES AND FEES PAID FOR THE PTS SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, IF ANY. THE REMEDIES FOR A FAILURE OR BREACH OF SUCH LIMITED WARRANTY ARE EXCLUSIVE.
