I. SERVICE AGREEMENT

1. INTRODUCTION.

Establishing an account or using services constitutes agreement to be bound by the Terms of Service and to use services in compliance with these Terms of Service. If users do not agree to the Terms of Service, including any future revisions, services may not be used and current customers must terminate use of services.

Company reserves the right to make changes to these Terms of Service at any time by posting revisions at www.internetamerica.com. Any changes or modifications will be effective upon posting of the revisions on the company website reflecting the new effective date. Continued use of service following the posting of the changes or modifications online will constitute acceptance of such changes of modifications. The Terms of Service and applicable policies should be reviewed from time to time to understand the terms that apply to use of their services.

Company Terms of Service together with the Service Order represent the entire agreement to provide services between Customer and Company. This Agreement supersedes any inconsistent or additional promises made by any company representative, agent, or dealer. If any part of these Terms of Service is found invalid, the balance remains enforceable.

2. PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS OF A CUSTOMER.

Services will be provided for an initial term as defined in the agreement signed by the customer and will continue on a month-to-month basis thereafter, unless services are upgraded and a new term established, or until terminated. After the Initial Term, either Customer or Company may terminate Service upon thirty (30) days written notice. The Initial Term begins on the day service is successfully installed at Customer's location indicated on the Service Order (the "Installation Date"). Customers accepting service with a promotion (e.g., discounted installation price, discounted service price, etc....) must maintain the same or higher service plan for the term of the agreement.

Customers must provide company with accurate and complete billing information including legal name, address, telephone number, email address, and credit card/billing information, and report to company all changes to this information within fifteen (15) days of the change. All customers must maintain a valid credit card or debit card on file. If a customer credit/debit card is lost, stolen, cancelled, or re-issued with a new number and/or expiration date, it is the customer's responsibility to notify company of the change. All accounts are automatically re-billed, depending on billing frequency, without notification.

Customer billing frequency is equal to the length of the billing cycle and is determined by the type of payment schedule selected, e.g., monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually. The cycle begins upon the day service is activated. If customer prepays for six, twelve or twenty-four months of service, customer will be provided service until the end of the prepaid term (subject to compliance with these Terms of Service). Customer will be billed for all applicable Federal, State, County and Local taxes, surcharges, fees and Universal Service Fee contributions, any of which may change from time-to-time, due on services. Fees for Service will begin on the Installation Date and, thereafter, are due and payable in advance of each Service period. All Fees are payable in U.S. dollars only.

Credit cards are billed according to the billing frequency. For example, an account with an annual billing frequency is charged once per year while it is active. Accounts are automatically re-billed without notification at the end of the billing frequency.

Auto-debits or ACH: Auto debits or ACH are billed according to the billing frequency. For example an account with an annual billing frequency is charged once per year while it is active. Accounts are automatically re-billed without notification at the end of the billing frequency. All auto-debit or ACH transactions are treated as checks and posting may be delayed ten (10) business days to allow time for the debit or ACH to clear with the bank.

 

Checks and Invoices for Businesses Only: Customers choosing the check payment option are sent an invoice promptly upon sign up. A processing fee of $4.00 will be billed monthly to all accounts with the payment method of check. Payments are due by the date shown on the invoice. Recurring invoices are sent on the customer's next billing date. Check posting may be delayed ten (10) business days to allow time for the check to clear with the bank. Pre-approval is required for businesses choosing this billing option.

Company will provide Customer a monthly invoice in an electronic e-mail format to the email address specified on the account. Monthly bill cycle begins on the same date of the completed installation. Customer has authorized payment by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover) or by any other electronic drafting/payment method and no additional notice or consent will be required for billings to that credit card or account. Company is not responsible for any charges or expenses (e.g for overdrawn accounts, exceeding credit card limits, etc.) resulting from charges billed by company. Customer is responsible for ensuring company has a current email address on file and company is not responsible for any undeliverable emails to customer.

Company reserves the right to change pricing with 30 days prior notice.


Payments are due by the due date shown on the invoice or initial attempt at credit card charge or auto-debit, as applicable. Customer must pay a late fee of $10 when the payment is 3 days past due. All charges are considered valid unless disputed in writing within fifteen (15) days of the billing date. Adjustments will not be made for charges that are more than fifteen (15) days old. Delinquent accounts may be suspended or canceled if payment is not received within eight days of the invoice date, however, charges will continue to accrue until the account is canceled. Company may bill an additional charge to reinstate a suspended account.

 

Acceptance of late or partial payments does not waive any of company's rights to collect the full amount due it. Company will charge a return check fee on any returned checks or rejected ACH payments at the maximum amount permitted by law. All amounts due, including disputed amounts, must be paid by the due date regardless of the status of any dispute. Customer agrees to pay all costs including reasonable attorneys' fees, collection fees, and court costs the company incurs in collecting amounts owed it.

All communications concerning disputed amounts owed must be sent in writing within 15 days after receipt of the invoice to:

Internet America
Payment Dispute Department
P.O. Box 690753
Houston, TX 77269-0753

If any of these requirements are not met Customer will waive any rights to dispute invoiced fees.

3. CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNT, PASSWORD, AND SECURITY.

Upon registration, Customers receive a username, password, and account designation. Customers and members of the customer's household or business, if it is a business account, are the only authorized users of the account and must comply with these Terms of Service. Customer must keep passwords confidential so that no one else may access services through the account. Customer must notify company immediately upon discovering any unauthorized use of the customers account.

Using a personal account for commercial use (e.g., revenue generation, advertising, etc.) is prohibited and will result in billing at the current prevailing commercial/business rate.

Service is provided for a single household/residence or business. Customer may not transmit the signal to another household or structure/facility (permanent or mobile). Violation of this provision will result in immediate and permanent cancellation of customer's account.

4. MONITORING THE SERVICES.

Company has no obligation to monitor services, but may do so and disclose information regarding use of services for any reason if company, in its sole discretion, believes that it is reasonable to do so, including to: satisfy laws, regulations, or governmental or legal requests; operate services properly; or protect itself and its Customers. Please see Company Privacy Policy. Company may immediately remove customer's material or information from company's servers, in whole or in part, which company, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines to infringe another's property rights or to violate the Acceptable Use Policy.

5. WIRELESS INTERNET SUBSCRIBER EQUIPMENT.

Customers agree to ensure wireless routers are encrypted to prevent unauthorized use of the system.

The company warrants all wireless Internet equipment installations for 180 days against installation defects and operational failures with the exception of damage to the equipment. Company does not cover service, maintenance, repair, addition, or replacement due to any loss resulting from usage other than normal usage and beyond company's normal control such as: damage due to misuse, abuse, insect or other infestation, fire, water, foreign substances, organic materials, windstorm, lightning, hail, earthquake, theft, terrorism/war, negligence, riot, or acts of God. The Customer acknowledges that they have been advised of the importance of connecting CPE to AC power and network cables through a proper surge suppressor.

Company warranty covers any CPE from the antenna to the wireless radio and the network cable between the radio and the internal device. Any device beyond this demarcation is the responsibility of the customer and is not warranted by the company. Services provided to customer equipment beyond this demarcation will be billed at standard onsite service rates in effect at the time services are rendered. Onsite service calls for loss of connectivity due to changes in the company network infrastructure are covered by the company and will be corrected at no charge.

Onsite visits by a technician to correct configuration changes made by the user, equipment relocation, and all other service calls not covered by the warranty above will be subject to service call fees billed at the rates in effect when services are rendered. Should a service call be necessary, the Customer account will be billed on the next billing statement unless billing frequency is other than monthly.

Company has a mandatory Lease Plus program at a fee, currently $9.95 per month that defrays the cost of service calls. Lease Plus reduces the cost of service calls from $99 to $19.99 and includes all labor charges and replacement of CPE. Service calls are under the Lease Plus program at $19.99 are limited to two in any rolling twelve (12) month period and are claims must be reported within thirty (30) days of the malfunction.

Part III. PRIVACY POLICY

Customer privacy is very important to the company. Company desires to make customers experience on the Internet as enjoyable and rewarding as possible, and company wants the customer to use the Internet's vast array of information, tools, and opportunities with complete confidence.

Company has created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate firm commitment to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how company collects information from all end users of company's services and what the company does with the information collected. Company requests that customers read this Privacy Policy carefully.

1. PERSONAL INFORMATION COMPANY COLLECTS AND HOW IT IS USED.

Company collects and maintains certain customer proprietary network information ("CPNI") in different ways from users who access the various parts of company services and the network of Web sites accessible through company services. Company generally, does not share this information with third parties. However, company may disclose personal information collected if company has received customer permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when company believes that disclosure is required by law or other special cases described below.

2. REGISTRATION.

Customers are asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up for company services including name, address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access services. The personal information collected from customers during the registration process is used to manage each customer's account (such as for billing purposes). This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances. However, in instances where company and a partner jointly promote services, company may provide the partner certain personal information, such as the name, address, and user name of persons who subscribed to services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing the company and the partner to assess the results of the promotion. In this instance, personal information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. Company may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information customers provide during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of customers).

3. RESPONSES TO EMAIL INQUIRIES.

When customers send email inquiries to company, the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry received. Company does not use the return email address for any other purpose and does not share the return email address with any third party.

4. VOLUNTARY CUSTOMER SURVEYS.

Company periodically conducts both business and individual customer surveys and encourages customers to participate in these surveys because they provide important information that helps improve the types of services offered and how they are provided. Customer personal information and responses remain strictly confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in customer surveys is voluntary.

Company takes the information received from individuals responding to Customer Surveys and combines (or aggregates) it with the responses of other customers to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). Company then uses the aggregated information to improve the quality of services to customers, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information may be shared with third parties.

5. SPECIAL CASES.

Company does not use or share the personal information about users in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing customers an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, company may disclose personal information about users or information regarding customer use of services or Web sites accessible through company services, for any reason if, in the company's sole discretion, it is reasonable to do so, including: to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating the Acceptable Use Policy or other user policies; to operate services properly; or to protect company and customers.

6. COMPANY'S COMMITMENT TO PROTECTION OF CHILDREN.

Protecting children's privacy is especially important to us. It is company policy to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and all other applicable laws. Company recommends that children ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to company, or to anyone else online.

7. COMPANY'S COMMITMENT TO DATA SECURITY.

Company takes measures to ensure the integrity and security of company network and systems, however company cannot guarantee that security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally obtaining this information.

8. HOW TO ACCESS OR MODIFY YOUR INFORMATION.

Company offers customers the opportunity to access or modify information provided during registration. To access or modify such information, contact Customer Service at 800-232-4335. Additionally, customers may modify some information online by accessing the customer portal at my.airmail.net.

I try not to freak when something does happen, but I am pretty spoiled. All your fault! (grin) I think I have had an outage for more than an hour about three times in the last five YEARS! And only one of those (this one) lasted more than 24 hours. So thank you for all of your hard work and outstanding service!"
    -Joe

    "Mike was a pleasure to work with as he corrected the problem. He has a light-hearted nature about him that kept me from feeling intimidated by his knowledge and experience. I hope that others will emulated his friendliness."
