It is Customer’s responsibility to check the MHTC home page (www.mhtc.net) for any such notices on AT LEAST a monthly basis. Any change to the Terms of Service shall become effective thirty (30) days after notice from MHTC, unless an alternative date is specified. Customer’s use of any affected Service after the effective date of any change shall constitute Customer’s acceptance and agreement to such change. If Customer does not agree to be bound by any change, Customer may terminate the affected Service as provided in the Terms of Service.

1. Customer must be at least 18 years old to apply for Services. By accepting MHTC’s Services, Customer represents to MHTC that Customer meets this age requirement.

Internet Service means all Internet related services provided by MHTC including, but not limited to, access to the Internet, anti-spam software, domain hosting, and any equipment provided by MHTC in order to connect to the Internet.

1. 1. Shared Network. Like the other networks that make up the Internet, MHTC’s network is a shared network, which means that the transmission links and other network resources used to provide Internet Service are shared among MHTC’s customers.
   2. Network Management and Testing. MHTC manages its network with the goal of delivering a fast, safe and uncompromised broadband Internet experience to all of its customers. But, high-speed bandwidth and network resources are not unlimited. Managing the network is essential for the promotion of the best possible broadband Internet experience by all of MHTC’s customers. MHTC uses reasonable network management and test practices that are consistent with industry standards. In addition, MHTC is required by the FCC to test a random set of customers for speed and latency periodically during the year. By using this service, the customer agrees to allow the MHTC to perform these tests.  MHTC tries to use tools and technologies that are minimally intrusive and, in its independent judgment guided by industry experience, among the best in class. Of course, MHTC’s network management practices will change and evolve along with the uses of the Internet and the challenges and threats on the Internet. See, MHTC’s Network Transparency Statement (http://mhtc.net/network-transparency-statement/).
   3. Transmission Speed and Conditions that May Impact Service Performance. Internet Service is provided “up to” the transmission speed identified in Customer Service Agreement, but may be lower for a variety of reasons including: the performance of Customer-owned equipment/devices; the type of connection between Customer-owned equipment/devices and the MHTC Provided Equipment; the number of users simultaneously using the Customer’s LAN network; high demand on destination websites; and Customer location.  Customer understands and agrees that MHTC does not warrant or guarantee any particular amount of bandwidth on the MHTC network or that any speed or throughput of Customer’s connection to the MHTC network will be available to Customer.
   4. Availability. Internet Service is not available in all areas, and may not be available at certain transmission speeds (or at all) at your location, even if MHTC’s initial testing indicates that your location qualifies for a particular level of service or transmission speed.
   5. Minimum Requirements. In order to use the Internet Service, Customer must meet minimum equipment, device, in-home network and system requirements as identified by MHTC.
   6. Service Changes. MHTC reserves the right to modify or discontinue its Internet Service, temporarily or permanently. If MHTC makes a change that would have a material impact on your Internet Service, MHTC will give you prior notice.
   7. Anti-Spam Software. MHTC utilizes anti-spam software. This feature of the Internet Service is intended to block unwanted e-mail/spam incoming and outgoing electronic mail. The Anti-Spam Software may not block all unwanted e-mail/spam, and may block email that is not unwanted e-mail/ spam.

TV Service is provided for your viewing, use and enjoyment. You are prohibited from charging a fee to others to listen to or view the TV Service. TV Service may not be copied, transmitted, reproduced, published, broadcast, rewritten, redistributed, or performed except as permitted by the “fair use” provisions of the U.S. copyright laws.

1. Programming. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to receive, and MHTC has no obligation to provide, any particular programming or channel as part of the TV Service and that Customer has not entered into any agreement or purchased the TV Service in reliance on an expectation, representation, or promise that any particular programming or channel, or number of channels, shall be included as part of the TV Service.

Programming and channels available to Customer as part of the TV Service or any other programming are subject to change, and customer is not guaranteed any particular channel or number of channels.

In the event particular programming or channels become unavailable, either on a temporary or permanent basis, for any reason, MHTC shall not be liable for compensation, damages, credits or refunds of fees for the missing or omitted programming or channels. Customer’s sole recourse in such an event shall be termination of the TV Service in accordance with the Terms of Service. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to programming or channels to which a Customer subscribes on an a` la carte basis (i.e. channels that are not part of a package or tier); provided, however, in that event MHTC may provide to Customer a pro rata credit of amounts pre-paid for the specific programming or channels to which Customer subscribes on an a` la carte basis.

1. 1. Digital Video Recorders (DVR). DVRs provide easy recording and playback of programming.  If a DVR should fail, the programming may not be recorded and previously recorded programming may be lost. MHTC is not responsible to recreate any non-recorded programming or the lost recordings.

1. Customer has no proprietary right or right to continued use of any Account Identifiers. MHTC assigned Account Identifiers will remain the property of MHTC and at MHTC’s sole discretion may be altered or replaced at any time.
2. Upon termination of Internet Service, Customer’s login/username and e-mail address will be disabled for a period of one-hundred eighty (180) days, at which time the login/username and e-mail address will be eligible for reassignment.
3. Upon termination of Internet Service, e-mail will not be received and will bounce back to the sender.
4. MHTC will store up to 1GB of read and unread e-mail on an active account. If after sixty (60) days a Customer’s mailbox has not been accessed via POP3, IMAP, or Webmail, the mailbox will then be deemed an “Abandoned Account“, and all e-mail associated with the Abandoned Account will be removed from the server.

1. Customer shall not permit any unauthorized persons to use the Services or access the Internet through Customer’s MHTC account.
2. Customer agrees that the Services will be used in a manner consistent with all Applicable Laws.

6. Customer is solely responsible, at Customer’s expense, for all equipment, devices and software necessary to use the Services and to connect to the Internet. Customer understands that even where MHTC Provided Equipment is provided by MHTC, additional equipment, devices and software may be necessary to use the Services. Customer shall be responsible for any such equipment, devices or software.  MHTC will not provide support for, or be responsible for maintenance of, such equipment, devices and software. Customer shall be responsible for the use and compatibility of any Customer provided equipment, devices and software with any MHTC Provided Equipment and MHTC Services.
