Effective January 1, 2001
Rev. February 5, 2003
This Agreement is between the Customer (referred to as "I"
or "me" or "my") on the one hand and Shrewsbury’s
Community Cablevision (SCC) (referred to as "you" or "your")
on the other hand. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions
under which you will provide me with, and I will use and subscribe
to your Service. This Agreement includes the “SCC - Internet
Use Policy”, and the “SCC - Cable Modem Installation
Agreement”, “Residential Service Offering” which
are incorporated herein by reference.

1. THE SERVICE
1.1 You will provide me with a cable modem,
access to the Internet and its services (the "Service"),
subject to this Agreement, from the date on which I accept this
Agreement until either you or I terminate it as provided in Section
6.
1.2 You will make reasonable efforts to provide
me with continuous, uninterrupted, expedient and error-free Service.
Nonetheless, I understand that temporary interruptions of the
Service may occur as normal events in the provision of the Service
or when you perform routine maintenance to the Service and you
may modify or discontinue the Service at any time without giving
me notice. I understand that you have no control over the networks,
facilities or services of third parties, and that delays and disruptions
involving them are completely beyond your control.
1.3 I will only use the service at or from
the Service Address where the Internet service is installed. The
Service Address is defined as the house, apartment unit, office,
leased space, or building used, owned or occupied by the customer
or business whose name appears on the billing account.
Internet service accessed by way of internal network, wiring,
wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), or other wired or wireless technology
to a person, business, house, apartment unit, or location outside
of the Service Address is strictly prohibited. Prohibition includes,
but not limited to, sharing of the internal service between apartments
or separate leased or rented space within a house or building
and separate houses or buildings located on the same property
with different occupants. This unauthorized use of service is
considered theft of service and punishable in accordance with
Federal Law.
2. PAYMENT
2.1 I will pay you the charges for the Service,
including monthly rate (in advance where applicable), applicable
installation charges, and fees as listed in the Residential Service
Offerings. I understand that the charges, taxes, fees, terms and
conditions may be modified from time to time. Once I have been
notified of such a change, my continued use of the Service constitutes
my acceptance of such.
2.2 I will provide you with accurate, complete
and current information on how to bill me including updated credit
card number and expiration date, if applicable.
2.3 If I pay you after the specified late
payment date, you may charge me a monthly late charge, and the
Service may be disconnected. I may also owe you for your expenses
incurred to recover past due charges, including attorney's fees
and legal costs. I will notify you of any errors or will ask for
any refunds due within six months of when the error occurred.
2.4 If you disconnect my Service, as a result
of late payments, I may have to pay a reconnect fee and security
deposit, in addition to all past due charges before you reconnect
the Service.
2.5 I understand that I may incur charges,
including taxes, for which I am solely responsible, from other
Internet or on-line services, telecommunications service providers
or providers of other goods and services which I may purchase
or subscribe to.
3. EQUIPMENT
3.1 The Service includes the use of a cable
modem ("Modem") from you; it will be billed to me included
in the charge for the Service. I shall use the Modem in a careful
and proper manner and only for obtaining access to the Internet.
I will not open the Modem, create a safety hazard, or modify the
normal operation and use of the Modem.
3.2 I agree that if I default or breach
this Agreement I may be charged $300 for the Modem and any other
sums I owe you which are not paid when due.
3.3 I will use the Modem solely at my current
address and shall not move it from the address of record without
your prior written consent. If I ask that the Modem be relocated,
a relocation fee may apply.
3.4 Within 7 days after termination of this
Agreement, I will, at my own expense, deliver the Modem to you
at any place within the cable system you designate, in the same
condition as when delivered to me, except for reasonable wear
and tear from authorized use.
3.5 I will bear all risk of loss, damage
(beyond normal wear and tear), theft or destruction to the Modem.
You will provide any routine maintenance of the Modem not caused
or contributed to by me. You may repair any damage to the Modem
due in whole or in part to my acts or omissions in violation of
this Agreement at my cost and expense at your then standard rates
for time and materials. In the event of such loss or damage (beyond
normal wear and tear) to the Modem, I shall pay you $300 as liquidated
damages, acknowledging that the precise amount of damages is difficult
to estimate and that this amount is a reasonable forecast and
not a penalty.
3.6 This Agreement does not give me any
interest, title, or license in the user ID, electronic mail address,
Universal Resource Locator ("URL"), domain name or Modem
that I use with the Service.
4. USE AND PRIVACY
4.1 You may, as necessary, monitor the content
on the Service and may disclose any information required to comply
with any law, regulation or governmental order or to protect yourself
or other Customers. You may refuse to post, or may remove any
material or information that, in your sole discretion is unacceptable,
undesirable or in violation of this Agreement. You may suspend
or terminate the Service to me, or suspend or terminate any user
ID, electronic mail address, URL or domain name which I use in
connection with the Service, if my use of the Service (a) violates
any law, regulation or tariff, (b) is obscene, defamatory, deceptive
or fraudulent, (c) is intended to threaten, harass or intimidate,
(d) interferes with another Customer's use or enjoyment of the
Service, (e) is in any way inconsistent with your Terms and Conditions
of Use, (f) tends to damage your name or reputation, or (g) otherwise
violates this Agreement. I hereby warrant that any material or
content that I publish, transmit or distribute through the Service
complies with the provisions of this Agreement and I authorize
you to reproduce, publish, distribute and display such material
and content worldwide.
4.2 I may not assign my Service account
to anyone without your express written consent.
4.3 I will comply with the Terms and Conditions
of Use of all end-user software license agreements accompanying
any software or plug-ins, which you distribute in connection with
the Service.
4.4 I am at least 18 years old and have
the ability to sign binding contracts. I am executing this Agreement
on behalf of everyone who will use the Service, Software or Hardware
through my computer or with my account or password and I am solely
responsible for any resulting violation of this Agreement. I am
solely responsible to ensure that they understand and will comply
with this Agreement and all other SCC Service Agreements required
for use of this Service. I will not resell the Service or otherwise
charge others to use it.
5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
5.1 Unless otherwise specifically provided
in this agreement, neither you nor your affiliates, subcontractors,
employees or agents will be liable to me or to any third party
for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, consequential
or other damages, losses, allegations, claims, suits or other
proceedings, expenses, liabilities or costs (including legal fees),
including loss of profits, earnings, business opportunities or
data, inaccuracy of data, cost of procurement of substitute goods
or services or personal injury (including death), resulting from,
arising out of or in connection with, directly or indirectly,
my use of the Service or my reliance on or any other use of the
equipment or Service, including, without limitation, (a) a contention
that the use of the equipment or Service by me or a third party
infringes the copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, confidentiality,
privacy or other intellectual property or contractual right of
any third party, (b) mistakes, omissions, interruptions, deletion
of files, errors, defects, delays in operation, non-deliveries,

accuracy, quality and confidentiality of information obtained
through third parties through the Service, (d) the activities
of other Internet users or cable or Service customers in accessing
or monitoring my computer or my use of the Service, or (e) acts
or occurrences beyond your reasonable control, including, without
limitation, fire, lightning, explosion, power surge or failure,

civil or military authorities or public enemies, any law, order,
regulation or requirement of any government or legal body or representative
thereof, labor unrest, including, without limitation, strikes,
slowdowns, picketing or boycotts, inability to secure raw materials,
transportation facilities, fuel or energy shortages, or acts or
omissions of common carriers. Your liability for damages in regards
to extraordinary and unreasonable interruptions of Service, or
for mistakes, omissions, delays, errors and defects in the Service,
shall in no event exceed the pro rata charges to me for the period
during which the Service was affected. This Section 5 applies
to the acts, omissions, negligence and gross negligence of you
and each of your respective affiliates, subcontractors, employees
and agents, under any contract, tort or other legal theory.
5.2 My sole and exclusive remedies under
this Agreement are as expressly set out in this Agreement.
5.3 I will indemnify and hold you harmless
from all claims, losses, expenses, suits, attorney's fees, costs,
fees or liabilities for injuries to or death of any person or
for damages to or loss of any property which may in any way arise
out of or result from or in connection with my use of the Service,
Software or Hardware, particularly if such use (a) violates any
law, regulation or tariff, (b) is defamatory, deceptive or fraudulent,
(c) is intended to threaten, harass or intimidate, (d) interferes
with another Customer's use or enjoyment of the Service, (e) is
in any way inconsistent with your Terms and Conditions of Use,
or (f) otherwise violates this Agreement.
5.4 YOU ARE PROVIDING ME WITH THE SERVICE,
MODEM, SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE; CONDITION, QUALITY, CAPACITY
WORKMANSHIP, COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY LAW, RULE,
SPECIFICATION OR CONTRACT, PATENT INFRINGEMENT OR LATENT DEFECTS.
YOU DO NOT WARRANT (A) UNINTERRUPTED USE OF THE SERVICE, SOFTWARE
AND HARDWARE, (B) THAT ANY DATA OR ANY FILES THAT I SEND WILL
BE TRANSMITTED IN UNCORRUPTED FORM OR IN A REASONABLE TIME, (C)
THE RELIABILITY OR ACCURACY OF ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH
THE SERVICE, OR (D) ANY TRANSACTIONS EXECUTED THROUGH THE SERVICE.
YOU DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF FITNESS, MERCHANTIBILITY AND PERFORMANCE. Some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, so the
above exclusions and limitations may not apply to me.
6. TERMINATION
6.1 Either you or I may terminate this Agreement
as a whole at any time by providing the other party with at least
24 hours written notice of such termination. If I terminate, I
may be eligible for a prorated refund and I may be subject to
a cancellation charge equal to the charge for the period in which
Service is terminated. Upon termination, I will destroy any Software
that you provided me under this Agreement. This Agreement should
not be construed to limit your rights and remedies available at
law or equity.

modify, add or delete portions of this Agreement at any time.
Once you notify me of any such changes by posting them on the
Service or sending me notice via e-mail or postal mail, my continued
use will be deemed to indicate my acceptance of such changes.
If I do not agree, I will stop using the Service and terminate
this Agreement.
7.2 This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed under Massachusetts’s law.
7.3 This Agreement constitutes our entire
agreement regarding its subject matter and supersedes all prior
written and oral agreements. Your failure to insist on strict
enforcement or your course of conduct shall not be construed as
a waiver of any provision.

Agreement or the Service, I can contact you at SCC, 100 Maple
