Luminous Voice Service Agreement
This (“Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions by which MH Telecom, LLC (“MHTC”) will provide Luminous Voice Service (“Luminous Service”) to the person signing this Agreement and, if applicable, his/her spouse (collectively, the “Customer”).

Luminous Service. Luminous Service includes unlimited local calling and 200 minutes per month of MHTC long distance calling provided by MH Communications, LLC. Luminous Service is different from traditional wireline voice service because it uses the internet. Luminous Service is a fixed, non-nomadic service. This means that Luminous Service is available only at the Service Address identified below (the “Premises”). Customer may not resell or redistribute Luminous Service to others. Neither Customer nor any user (whether or not use was authorized) of the Luminous Service (“User”) may use the Luminous Service for any unlawful or improper purpose or in such a way that interferes with MHTC’s network, business operations, employees or other customers. Customer acknowledges and agrees that MHTC has no control over and is not responsible for any content transmitted to Customer through the Luminous Service. Customer agrees to use the Luminous Service in a manner consistent with all applicable local, state, federal and international laws and regulations (“Applicable Law”).

The replacement charges for unreturned or damaged Equipment are the then-current replacement costs of the same or like equipment. Customer must notify MHTC promptly of any Equipment or System failure or malfunction. MHTC shall repair or replace Equipment and the System, except that Customer shall be responsible for all costs incurred by MHTC to repair or replace the Equipment or System if such repair or replacement is caused by Customer’s or any User’s negligent or willful conduct.

Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, MHTC may without notice or demand, exercise all or any one or more of the following remedies in the event of a Default: (a) declare immediately due and payable all bills and all other sums due; (b) suspend service, in which case standard charges for the Luminous Service shall continue to accrue until the account is canceled by Customer; and (c) terminate this Agreement.
