  2. Delivery of Services:

    (Table of Contents) This Agreement is effective as of the date Services begin and continues as long as you use our Services. Services begin when we accept the Service Order either electronically or in writing, we begin providing the Services described in the Service Order, or we begin installation for delivery of the Services described therein, whichever is earliest. This Agreement supersedes all prior oral or written agreements between Plateau and you, and Plateau will have no liability to you except with respect to its obligations described in this Agreement. In the event any aspect of your Services are terminated or changed, remaining Services will continue to be governed by this Agreement.
  3. Charges and Billing:

    (Table of Contents) By using our Services, you agree to pay all charges associated with the Services, including all applicable fees, taxes, and surcharges, as well as non-standard installation (including complex, underground, custom work, non-penetrating roof mounts, special construction and/or additional outlets), and/or equipment charges, and applicable service charges. Price information for our products is available on our website at https://www.plateautel.com/. PAYMENT FOR ANY GOVERNMENT IMPOSED FEES AND TAXES THAT BECOME APPLICABLE RETROACTIVELY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
    1. Billing. Unless otherwise specified, you will be billed monthly for recurring service charges, equipment charges, and applicable state and federal taxes and fees. Payment in full for all billed charges, including recurring service charges, any additional charges for non-recurring services, and all taxes, fees, and surcharges must be received by the due date on the bill. You acknowledge that you are liable for the payment of all Services rendered by Plateau and billed to your account. No acceptance of partial payment(s) by Plateau shall constitute a waiver of any rights to collect the full balance owed under this Agreement. If your payment is returned, we may charge a processing fee for each returned payment, to the fullest extent allowed by law. You acknowledge that writing statements to the effect of “paid in full” on any checks or other payments provided to Plateau has no legal effect. Your first bill may be for more than a single month’s service due to pro-rated charges from the date you first began receiving our Services, as well as monthly recurring charges for the next month and charges for any non-recurring services you have received. In some cases, you may be billed for Services outside of your recurring service charges. You will be responsible for any charges resulting from, but not limited to, changes in service, service calls, orders, upgrades made for your account. Additionally, certain types of calls may be billed on a measured basis including international long distance and directory assistance calling.
    2. Administrative Charges. If you fail to pay your bill by the due date on your billing statement, we may charge you an administrative charge. You will be responsible for collection agency fees and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Plateau in our collection attempts of any past due amounts not paid by you. If you fail to pay the amount owed, we may suspend or terminate any Services provided to you, and may require you to pay a suspension fee, in addition to paying all outstanding balances, prior to restoring your Services. It is your responsibility to ensure Plateau is in receipt of your payment on or prior to the due date indicated on your billing statement.
    3. Trial/Introductory Rates and Promotions. If you are receiving promotional or trial/introductory rates, you may cancel your Services at any time prior to the end of the promotional period by notifying us in writing, in person, or by telephone. Once the promotional or introductory period expires, regular charges for the Services will apply unless you notify us you would like to terminate such Services.
    4. Deposits. We may require a security deposit from you when you initiate our Services. If Services are terminated and you have an outstanding balance owed to us, we may deduct that amount from your security deposit, or, if applicable, charge that amount to the bank account you have authorized on your auto-payment.
    5. Billing Errors. Disputes concerning your bill may be directed to Plateau by telephone, in person, email, or in writing. In the event of a dispute concerning the bill, you understand you are still required to pay the undisputed portion of the bill. Your Services shall not be disconnected for nonpayment of the disputed amount. An administrative charge may be assessed upon any outstanding undisputed balance due that remains after the due date indicated on your billing statement. We limit retroactive adjustments for billing errors to ninety (90) days prior to the date the error is discovered. In the event of a billing error, you must notify us within thirty (30) calendar days of the day you receive your bill. If no notice is received, you acknowledge your waiver of any right to receive a refund or credit.
    6. Credit Card Payments. Use of a credit card to pay for Services is governed by the credit card issuer agreement. You must refer to that agreement for your responsibilities and liabilities as a cardholder. By providing us with a credit card number, you authorize us to charge the card for all charges generated under this Agreement, until its termination, or prior authorization by you to stop charging the credit card. It is your responsibility to provide Plateau with updated credit card information on a timely basis prior to the expiration or termination of the credit card on file.
    7. Taxes and Fees. Taxes and governmental fees and surcharges may be changed with or without notice, and you will be responsible for paying additional costs incurred by Plateau for providing Services due to increase in costs caused by newly adopted laws, rules, regulations, or judgments.
    8. Changes to Services, Fees, and Prices: We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify the terms in this Agreement, add to, rearrange, or discontinue any or all aspects of the Services offered (including features contained in the Services,) and/or change or impose new prices and fees. This Agreement, as revised from time to time, is accessible at our website at https://www.plateautel.com/legal/termsandconditions. The most recent version of this Agreement shall supersede any prior versions which may have been provided to you. Unless otherwise specified by applicable law, Plateau will give you thirty (30) calendar days prior notice of any material changes affecting our Services, prices, or fees, and the effective date of such changes. Notice of such changes will be included with your billing statement, by sending it via U.S. Postal Mail, by sending notice to your email address on file with Plateau, or by other lawful means. You have the right to cancel your Services if such changes are no longer acceptable to you; however, you will be considered to have accepted upon your continued use of the Services after the specified effective date.
  4. Service Issues

    (Table of Contents)
    1. Interruptions and Credits. In the event of a service interruption with your Internet, Wi-Fi, security or phone, occurring for more than twenty-four (24) consecutive hours after the earlier of being reported to Plateau or being found by Plateau to be out of order, resulting from causes solely within our reasonable control (aside from service interruptions resulting from your failure to pay amounts owed to us, any willful or negligent act by you or a third party, any Customer-owned Equipment malfunctioning, our inability to gain access to your premises, or other violations of this Agreement,) you will be issued a credit to your bill for the period of the service interruption, upon your request. Requests for credit must be made within five (5) business days following the service interruption. Unless required by law, such credit will not exceed the fixed monthly charges for the month of such Services interruption and will exclude all nonrecurring charges, one-time charges, per call or measured charges, regulatory fees and surcharges, taxes and other governmental and quasi-governmental fees. We will abide by applicable law, if such law imposes other credit requirements than described above, with respect to service interruptions. UNLESS PROHIBITED BY LAW, SUCH CREDIT WILL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR AN INTERRUPTION OF SERVICES.

Examples of problems beyond our reasonable control include acts of God, flood, fire, fiber cuts, product availability due to supply chain limitations, solar flares and those caused by storms and other natural disasters, third-party damage to access networks, failure of any signal at the transmitter, failure of a communications satellite, loss of use of utility facilities, vandalism, terrorism, unavailability of right-of-way, any law, order, regulation, or governmental act, civil disturbances, power failures, computer viruses, or strikes.
    3. Content: We exercise no control over the content of the information passing through our network and accessed through the Services. We have no duty to monitor, review, remove, or edit any material passing through or residing on our network or servers, although we reserve the right to do so. Some sites contain information that you may consider obscene or harmful. We shall not be responsible in any manner and to any extent for sites or postings that might be considered obscene, offensive, harmful, or illegal. You are responsible for your own monitoring and viewing habits, including those of minors within your household. We make no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, about the content of the information passing through our network or accessed by you through the Services. Use of any information obtained through the Services is at your sole risk. We specifically disclaim any responsibility for the accuracy or quality of information obtained through the Services. Content can be controlled by Plateau’s Wi-Fi app. You are responsible for securing your data and communications. We will not be responsible if a third-party gains access to your data or communications, the Services, or your Customer-owned Equipment. We deem all use of the Services from the location which you receive such Services, including any communications made through the Services, whether authorized by you or not, as your use (such as charges attributed to Wi-Fi Calling, Video on Demand, Pay-Per- View, etc.) All charges attributed to your account will be your sole responsibility, and you agree to indemnify Plateau from any liability which may arise relating to such charges.
  5. Equipment:

    (Table of Contents) The Plateau-supplied Equipment is, at all times, the sole and exclusive property of Plateau, regardless of payments made by you related to this Agreement. At no time will Plateau be deemed to have abandoned the Plateau-supplied Equipment in the event it is not retrieved upon termination of any Services. You are to use Plateau-supplied Equipment only for the purpose of using the Services as set forth in this Agreement. You agree not to sell, transfer, lease, assign, or encumber Plateau-supplied Equipment, in whole or in part, to a third party, or allow a third party to use your Services. You agree to allow us, or our agents or representatives on our behalf, access to the premise where the Services are provided to install, maintain, inspect, upgrade, disconnect, alter, remove, or replace Plateau-supplied Equipment. Such access will be provided during regular business hours and with reasonable notice provided. You affirm that you are the legal age of majority in your state and have the authority to provide us with access to the premise, or that you have obtained the necessary approval(s) for us to access the premise. Neither Plateau personnel, nor Plateau agents or representatives, shall enter the premise where the Services are provided to perform any work unless a responsible adult is present. You agree to provide Plateau employees and representatives with a safe working environment while on the premises. If a Plateau employee or representative deems the working environment unsafe in his or her sole discretion, you agree that Plateau may elect not to provide any Services on the premise, until such premise is deemed safe by Plateau. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless (including costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) Plateau personnel and/or our agents or representatives from any claim by the owner of the premise arising out of our performance of this Agreement. Neither Plateau, nor its agents or representatives, shall be liable for any effects of normal installation or repair workmanship, except for damages caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct by Plateau personnel, or its agents and representatives. Subject to other limitations on liability contained in this Agreement, Plateau’s liability for damages associated with the installation, maintenance, or repair of the Plateau-supplied Equipment shall not exceed an amount equal to the proportionate part of the monthly recurring charge for the Services for the period during which the Services were affected. We reserve the right to make changes to Plateau-supplied Equipment through downloads or otherwise. If we change our equipment requirements with respect to our offered Services, you acknowledge you may not be able to receive such Services with your current Plateau-supplied Equipment. Your continued use of the Services after such changes will constitute your consent to continue using the Services, as so changed. You agree not to relocate Plateau-supplied Equipment to a premise other than the premise where the Services were initiated and continue to be billed. Plateau-supplied Equipment may be moved to a different premise only when we have approved your change of residence request. When changing your Services or transferring your Services to a new location, we require that your account be in good standing, and your credits or charges from your previous premise shall be transferred to your new premise where Services will be rendered.
    1. Repair and Replacements. We shall repair and/or replace Plateau-supplied Equipment provided to you at no charge, unless such repair or replacement was a result of your or a third party’s misuse, negligence, fault, or theft. Plateau is not responsible for bringing Services to the input of Customer-owned Equipment and will not be responsible for the repair or replacement of such equipment. Any repair charges related to your or a third party’s misuse of any Plateau-supplied or Customer-owned Equipment affecting your Services will be your responsibility to pay. You agree not to allow any Plateau-supplied Equipment to be serviced by non-Plateau personnel, agents, or representatives.
    2. Plateau-supplied Equipment: If the Plateau-supplied Equipment is lost, stolen, damaged, or tampered with, you agree to pay to us the retail replacement cost of the Plateau-supplied Equipment, without deducting for depreciation or regular wear and tear. You agree to return lost or stolen Plateau-supplied Equipment that is recovered, even if you have paid Plateau for its replacement cost. See our current retail equipment costs. Our equipment and Services are being provided to you for your personal and residential use only. You agree not to resell, charge for, or redistribute all, or any portion, of the Services. Those receiving Services agree not to use our Services for commercial purposes, including for the purpose of conducting telemarketing or auto-dialing, or for any other use inconsistent with normal residential calling. You agree not to provide persons who are not members of your household with access to our Services or Plateau-supplied Equipment, including your passwords and/or usernames. You agree you will not, nor allow others, to misuse, tamper, or remove Plateau-supplied Equipment or use it contrary to this Agreement. Tampering with or altering with the network to receive unauthorized services is a federal crime punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. You are prohibited from removing, manipulating, or altering in any way our logos, markings, labels, serial numbers, or other identifying information from the Plateau-supplied Equipment. Our AUP for residential Internet is located on every Service Order (or an alternative website if we notify you). We may modify the AUP from time to time with the new version being posted as set forth above, with or without notice to you. If you knowingly access Services that you have not paid for or enable others to access such Services that they have not paid for, or cause or assist in the willful damage, alteration, or destruction of Plateau-supplied Equipment, or unauthorized reception or diversion of Services, you will be considered to have breached this Agreement, and you may be subject to statutory damages, fines, or criminal charges. The Services provided to you may differ depending on which Plateau-supplied Equipment you use. For example, Services and user experience may differ depending on whether you have our Smart Home Wi-Fi or security equipment. Not all Plateau-supplied Equipment will support all Services and certain Services may not be available in all areas.

    5. Fiber/Wireless Network. You understand and agree that the fiber/wireless devices installed or provided by Plateau will remain connected on the premise through the duration of your Services with us, as well as after termination of the Services. Fiber/wireless service is installed either underground, or aerial and will usually follow the same route as existing telephone or television cabling. You acknowledge that Plateau will need access to either your front or back yard, depending on your neighborhood power and communications utility locations. For new and existing single unit installations, the fiber/wireless devices shall become a fixture to the realty upon installation. You shall be responsible for the payment of any damages resulting from your or a third party’s negligence or misuse of the fiber/wireless network. You acknowledge and agree that you or a third party may not remove, replace, rearrange, attach to, or repair the fiber/wireless network.

  6. Software and Intellectual Property

    (Table of Contents)
    1. Software License. To facilitate your use of our Services, we may provide you with software and/or firmware. Any software or firmware provided with our Services or contained within the Plateau-supplied Equipment may only be used for non-commercial and private use to the extent necessary to use or receive the related Services. You are being granted a revocable, personal, limited, non-transferable, non-assignable, and non-exclusive license to download, install, and use the software or firmware, so long as this Agreement remains in full force and effect. Use of such software or firmware does not give you any ownership rights, and you may not sublicense, lease, rent, or assign the software or firmware. Except for your limited license to use the software or firmware, all other intellectual property rights associated with them shall remain at all times with us and/or our licensors. You agree that you shall not, nor shall you permit others, to publish, duplicate, display, modify, distribute, reverse engineer, transmit, decompile, attempt to create the source code from the object code for the software, or create derivative works from the software or firmware, in whole or in part, including any written materials provided in conjunction with them. We may, from time to time, modify the software or firmware, including through remote downloads to Plateau-supplied Equipment. If you receive a software update notification from us, it is your responsibility to promptly perform an update. Failure to do so may result in the Plateau-supplied and/or your Customer-owned Equipment no longer being compatible with our Services. You agree to take no action to interfere with such automatic upgrades, scanning, and related services.
    2. Intellectual Property. Plateau is registered under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. If you believe that material available through our Services has infringed your intellectual property rights, you may file a complaint of such claimed infringement with our designated agent. Visit our website at https://www.plateautel.com/legal to see our Procedure for Reporting Intellectual Property Infringement.
    3. Copyrights and Trademarks. Materials available on the Plateau website are protected by copyright law.
    4. Deletion of Materials: In accordance with our storage policies, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, during the term of this Agreement and upon its termination, to delete your voicemail, call details, data, files, pictures, videos and other information stored on our servers, systems, or any Plateau-supplied Equipment.

You understand and agree that we shall have no liability whatsoever for any loss or removal of such data or information.
  7. Plateau Fiber/Wireless Phone Subscribers

    (Table of Contents)
    1. Battery Backup. Our Services use electrical power in your home. If your power is interrupted, for example due to a power outage, you may not be able to make or receive calls, use 911, or home security or medical monitoring services unless you have an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) or battery backup. While you are solely responsible for purchasing a battery backup unit, Plateau offers customers the option to buy an optional battery backup. A battery backup does not guarantee you will always be able to make or receive calls or use 911 in the event of a power interruption. Calls may not be completed if there is a problem with network facilities, including network congestion, network/equipment/power failure, or any other technical or service-related issue. In such instances, you may be unable to use our phone service to call 911. Additionally, Plateau battery backup options will not provide power to any other Services except to your Plateau fiber phone. If you have a home alarm system, medical monitoring devices, or other similar equipment that utilizes your telephone line to operate, you will need a separate power supply to operate those devices during a power outage in addition to the backup battery for your Plateau Fiber Phone Services. We will not be liable for the failure of your Services during a power outage, including failure due to the lack or nonperformance of battery backup power. Please visit Plateau’s website to learn more about Plateau battery backup options and capabilities.
  8. Home Security and Medical Monitoring.

    (Table of Contents) You understand that our phone Services may not be compatible with certain home security systems or medical monitoring and personal emergency alert devices, and that we accept no responsibility for the performance of such devices and systems with our Services. If you intend to use our phone service with a third-party’s home security or medical monitoring system or device, you are responsible for making sure it works properly and for the cost of doing so. You should contact your home security or medical monitoring provider to determine whether our phone Services are compatible with its systems and to test the system’s operation.
  9. 911 Information.

    (Table of Contents) The device that we provide to you for your phone Services is linked to the address you provided to Plateau. In order for your 911 calls to be properly directed to emergency services, ensure you have provided us with your correct premise address. If you move the device to a new address without first obtaining the necessary approval from us, you will be in violation of this Agreement. Furthermore, moving the device to an unauthorized address may result in emergency personnel being unable to locate you. Ensuring we have the correct address listed with the 911 database can take several business days from the time that you subscribe to our phone Services.
  10. Directory Listing Errors.

    (Table of Contents) If we make available the option to list your name, address, and/or telephone number in a published directory or database, and fail to comply with your request regarding directory listing information (for example, we list the wrong information, fail to include information you requested be listed, or list information you requested remain unpublished,) you may be entitled to a credit under our policies, equal to one month’s Services or, if greater, an amount prescribed by applicable regulatory requirements. Please contact our office for more information. Other than these credits, we have no liability with respect to directory listings. YOU AGREE TO HOLD PLATEAU, OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, OUR AGENTS, AND ANY OTHER PROVIDER WHO FURNISHES SERVICES TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES CAUSED OR CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, ARISING FROM THE ERRORS OR OMISSIONS REFERENCED IN THIS PARAGRAPH.
  11. Unlimited Calling.

    (Table of Contents) Plateau unlimited calling applies to the continental contiguous 48 states, and Washington, DC, and is based on normal residential, non-commercial use. Unlimited calling excludes all calls made to Alaska, Hawaii, United States territories and possessions, Mexico, and all other foreign countries or protectorates and territories. Unlimited calling also excludes 900 and 900-like numbers, and entertainment phone services. Additional charges will apply for all calls outside of the contiguous 48 states and Washington, DC, directory assistance calling, and operator services.
  12. Tariffs.

    (Table of Contents) If Plateau has filed a tariff with a state Public Regulatory Commission (or similar state agency), then the tariff will govern, in whole or in part, your receipt of Plateau phone Services.
  13. Internet Service

    (Table of Contents)
    1. Service Level Limits. Each Service Experience may have a Maximum Throughput Rate or other characteristics. We can set or change the Maximum Throughput Rate or other characteristics of any Services level. If we do, we may put in place additional terms to address usage that is not consistent with the resulting Services level.
    2. Throughput Rates. The Throughput Rate will be tested to your premise. You acknowledge that you may not receive maximum throughput speeds at certain times. The Throughput Rate you experience at any time will be affected by a number of factors, including the nature of the Internet and its protocols, our facilities, the bandwidth we devote to carriage of protocol and network information, the condition and configuration of our Equipment or your Customer-owned Equipment at your location, whether you use an in-home Wi-Fi network (which can significantly limit the Throughput Rate obtained by devices attached to it), our use of data volume and congestion on our network and the Internet, the time of day you are using the Services, and the performance of the website servers you try to access.
    3. Your Transmissions. If you send or post materials through the Services, you are responsible for the material and confirm that you have all necessary rights to do so. You grant us, with no obligation to pay you, all rights we need to complete your transmission or posting. If we determine that the transmission or posting violates our Acceptable Use Policies, we may (but have no duty to) delete the materials, block access to them, or cancel your account. Plateau’s Acceptable Use Policy can be found at https://www.plateautel.com/legal/acceptableusepolicy.
    4. Addresses. Use of the Services does not give you any ownership or other rights in any Internet Protocol, email or Internet addresses that may be provided to you as part of the Services. Upon termination of your Services account, we reserve the right to permanently delete or remove any or all addresses associated with such account.
    5. Network Monitoring and Testing: Plateau monitors network traffic and uses third-party products and services to analyze data and perform speed testing to ensure quality network performance. Plateau receives federal funding to support the high cost of the network in certain areas of the market. The FCC requires anyone receiving federal universal support to test the speed and latency of the supported network. This testing is to be completed at the customer premise. Where FCC mandated speed and latency testing is required, Plateau reserves the right to place necessary equipment at the customer premise to perform required testing. FCC testing only collects data for speed and latency and does not collect or track a customer’s online activity.
