As the customer, you are responsible for all actions taken on your account, and are required to follow all applicable laws, statutes and government regulations.

Payment of NEWco Services and Fees:
By entering into any NEWco service agreement, customer accepts any charges that are charged to customer's account.
Customer is responsible for all charges that are made to customer's account, whether by customer or anyone else that may have access to customer's account information. As the account holder, customer is responsible for monitoring any minors that customer allows to use customer's account, and any related services they may access.

NEWco reserves the right to charge customer's credit card or customer provided bank account on a recurring basis for any of the services that are being used or requested by customer, as allowed by the individual customer's service agreement terms. The billing cycle is approximately 30 days. All accounts will be billed monthly for services, in advance. All invoices are due and payable upon receipt, unless prior payment arrangements otherwise have been made (such as credit card billing or automated clearing house (ACH) using the customer provided bank account, or other method). NEWco may discontinue customer's services if payment is not received within 15 days of the due date. Late payments may result in assessment of a late fee or an increase in the following month's bill.

If for any reason a customer's service is disconnected and the customer would like to reactivate customer's account, there will be a reconnection fee assessed. Late payment and reconnection fees may vary by service agreement and service region. NEWco reserves the right to bill customer's credit card or customer provided bank account for any late fees. NEWco will not charge customer's credit card or provided bank account for reconnection to service without confirmation by customer.

All returned checks will be subject to a $35.00 fee each time they are rejected by customer's bank. Customer's service may be interrupted if a dishonored check is not paid in full, along with all applicable fees, at NEWco's offices within five (5) business days of receipt notice of rejection from customer's bank.

Customer agrees to make payment in full to NEWco for all amounts due according to NEWco's invoice(s). Customer also agrees to pay NEWco, as interest, an amount equal to 1.5% per month or the maximum provided by law (whichever is less), for invoice amounts that are greater than 60 days past due. Should customer default on any such payment, NEWco shall have the right, without notice to customer, to declare all invoice amounts immediately due and payable. Customer agrees that any change in liability for any debts incurred to NEWco due to a change in customer's form of business, shall not be effective as to NEWco unless and until NEWco receives actual written notice of the change by certified mail.

In the event NEWco should commence any legal action or actions, or otherwise seek to enforce a service agreement against a customer, customer shall pay reasonable attorney(s) fees, court costs and other expenses incurred by NEWco, whether or not suit is filed. NEWco reserves the right to assess legal fees, including attorney and court fees, upon any customer who, by customer's action or inaction, directly or indirectly causes NEWco to be a defendant, co-defendant or have to testify in any civil or criminal legal action or arbitration.

Early Termination Fee; Equipment Fee; Transfer Fee:
Early termination fees will be assessed against any customer whose NEWco service agreement is prematurely terminated for any reason. Early termination will result in a charge of $200.00 for residential service, and a charge of 50 percent of the remaining contracted monthly recurring charge for commercial service, as detailed in the respective commercial agreement. If customer equipment is not returned to NEWco upon termination of a service agreement, a $299.95 equipment fee will be assessed against customer. Once NEWco equipment has been installed and a customer wishes to move or transfer the equipment to another location within the NEWco service area, a $100.00 transfer fee will be assessed against customer.

Use of Subscriber Information:
NEWco has the right to compile and store as much information about customer and customer's computer and related equipment as necessary to provide service. Customer may designate an Authorized Representative who is vested with the same authority as customer respecting customer's service account. In the event customer so appoints an Authorized Representative, NEWco has the right to compile and store as much information about customer's Authorized Representative as NEWco deems necessary to service customer's account. For customer's protection, NEWco will never release information about customer, customer's Authorized Representative or customer's account to any third parties without the prior written consent of customer or customer's Authorized Representative, except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law, the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or the valid order of a governmental agency. Customer information may be released to the NEWco marketing department and any other subsidiary of NEWco, as permitted by and in accordance with the provisions of all applicable laws and government regulations. Prior to such disclosure, NEWco will make a reasonable effort to notify customer or customer's Authorized Representative of same.

Reselling and Transferability of NEWco Services:
Customer's service agreement with NEWco is strictly confidential and is not transferable or assignable by customer without the prior written consent of NEWco. Customer's account is non-transferable and non-assignable by customer, and is strictly for use by customer.

Customer's account and services may not be copied, resold, leased, assigned or exchanged in any way. Reselling of NEWco services, equipment, expertise or information of any kind is strictly prohibited.

Restrictions on Use of Service:
By becoming a registered user of NEWco services, customer takes full responsibility for any wrongdoings that customer or a third party may commit while using customer's subscribed NEWco services or through the use of customer's NEWco equipment. The maintenance and upkeep of customer's services are the sole responsibility of customer, and not the responsibility of NEWco. NEWco may delete, block or confiscate any transmissions, posts, E-mails or attachments that NEWco feels may be of any harm or inappropriate.

NEWco may suspend or terminate customer's use of NEWco services for any reason, or for no reason whatsoever, and at any time, including if NEWco determines, in its sole discretion, that customer has failed to comply with any of the terms of NEWco's Service Agreement & Acceptable Use Policy. More specifically, NEWco reserves the right to prohibit any conduct by any customer or remove any NEWco materials or equipment from any customer transmission site or service area. NEWco also reserves the right to take or terminate the use of any NEWco user name or email address at any time.

There are no data transfer limitations for NEWco@work business customers.

Account Suspension/Cancellation Terms and Conditions:
Unless otherwise provided in a service agreement or contract, NEWco customers have the right to cancel their service agreements at any time for any reason, subject to imposition of early termination fees. A customer must cancel their service agreement at least five business days before customer's next billing period, to avoid being charged for the following month. NEWco reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel any customer account in accordance with the provisions of this Service Agreement & Acceptable Use Policy or for any reason not prohibited by law.

Customers shall be responsible for distributing, publicizing and enforcing the NEWco Service Agreement & Acceptable Use Policy at their sites. In addition, each NEWco customer shall distribute the NEWco Service Agreement & Acceptable Use Policy to appropriate administrative authorities at all sites connected to customer's site via connections not directly supported by NEWco.

Even though NEWco does not review, censor or edit the materials and information that are accessible on the NEWco network or other networks which may be connected to the NEWco network, if NEWco becomes aware that a NEWco customer is in violation of the law or this Service Agreement & Acceptable Use Policy, NEWco reserves the right to take immediate action, up to and including the expulsion of the customer from NEWco's network, termination of NEWco services, and forfeiture of all fees paid to date of customer's violation. Evidence of illegal or prohibited activities may be disclosed to law enforcement authorities.

1. INTRODUCTION.

These Terms of Service constitute the agreement between NEWco High-Speed Internet, ("NEWco", also referred to as "we," "us," "our,) and the user of NEWco's communications services (referred to as "you," "your," or "user," or "customer") and any related products or services. This agreement governs both our service and any NEWco approved or provided equipment used in association with our services. It applies to all digital voice lines on every NEWco account. NEWco is sometimes referred to as "we," "us," "our," or "NEWco" and the user is sometimes referred to as "you," "your," or "user," or "customer".
By subscribing to or by using our service, you agree to these Terms of Service.

2. EMERGENCY SERVICES - 911 DIALING.

2.1 911 Dialing.

NEWco 911 dialing is different than traditional 911 service.

2.2 NEWco 911 Disclosure Agreement.

NEWco 911 service is different from traditional wireline 911 and cellular/wireless 911, but it is a safe and reliable means of emergency dialing that may differ depending on where you are located, and the device used, when using your NEWco service.

NEWco customers have access to Enhanced 911 (E911), basic 911 or the NEWco Customer Care Department. With E911 service, when you dial 911 your NEWco phone number and the registered address you have chosen for your account is sent to the local emergency center serving your location, and emergency operators have access to this information in order to send help and call you back if necessary. With basic 911, when you dial 911, local emergency operators answering the call may not see your NEWco telephone number or your registered address. The emergency center may not be equipped to receive, capture or retain your NEWco telephone number and registered address, so you must be prepared to give them this information. Until you give the operator your phone number, he/she may not be able to call you back or dispatch help if the call is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak.

If you do not have access to either basic 911 or E911 for any reason, your 911 call will be sent to the NEWco Customer Care Center. NEWco Customer Care Center Representatives have been trained to direct your call to the closest emergency provider to your registered account address.

NEWco requires you to provide the physical address where you will be using our service for 911 purposes as part of your digital voice service setup. For E911 and basic 911, this address is used to route 911 calls to your local emergency center. When you initially provide your physical address, it can take up to 120 minutes to verify your address and activate 911 service at this address.

If you move this device to another location, you must update your address. You may register only one location at time. If you do not update your location, your 911 calls may be sent to an emergency center near your old address. When you update your location, it can take several hours to activate 911 service at the updated address.

Please note that our 911 Dialing service will not function in the event of a broadband or power outage or if your broadband, Internet Service Provider (ISP), or NEWco phone service is terminated.

3. CUSTOMER SERVICE.

We offer varying types and levels of customer service depending on a number of factors, including the service you are using and the problems you are experiencing. For more information on our customer service, please visit our web site www.newisp.net. We assume no obligation to provide support services for any third party products or services, or for problems with our service caused by third party products or services. Unless you have entered into a separate services agreement with us, we may change the customer service options at any time.

4. MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.

We offer a money back guarantee if you terminate your service within 30 days from your subscription date. The subscription date is the date you order service or the date we successfully process your payment, whichever is later. It is not the day you receive the equipment you ordered or the first day you use the service.

4.1 Residential.

Any device you purchased from retail stores is not eligible for our money back guarantee. Please refer to the return policy of the retailer where you purchased your device. Devices purchased from retail stores must be returned to that company.

Our money back guarantee does not apply to any charges for international usage, payphone calls to NEWco toll free numbers, directory assistance and any features or services not expressly included in your monthly plan fee. In addition, we may not be able to refund all of the taxes that you have paid.

Due to the nature of how NEWco bills a customer's account, you may be billed for additional charges for the time between disconnection and return of the equipment. NEWco will use reasonable efforts to refund any charges (less any amounts that you owe to us) to your account following the return of your device. If you have a billing dispute following the termination of your account, please contact us at the NEWco Customer Care Department toll free at 1-877-548-8429.

4.2 Business.

We offer a money back guarantee if you terminate your service within 30 days from your subscription date. Our money back guarantee applies only to the first-ordered line per account, not to additional or secondary lines. We will refund one credit for the activation or setup fee you paid, the service charge for the first monthly service term, initial shipping charges (if applicable), and the $39.99 disconnection fee providing your business meets the following conditions:

You have not exceeded 5,000 minutes of usage; and

You cancel your service within the first 30 days of your subscription date.

Our money back guarantee does not apply to any charges for international usage, payphone calls to NEWco toll free numbers, directory assistance calls and any features or services not expressly included in your monthly plan fee. In addition, we may not be able to refund all of the taxes that you paid.

Due to the way NEWco bills a customer's account, you may be billed for additional charges for the time between disconnection and the return of the equipment. NEWco will use commercially reasonable efforts to refund promptly any charges (less any amounts that you owe to us) to your account following the return of your device. If you have a billing dispute following the termination of your account, please contact us at 1-877-548-8429.

4.3 Right to Revocation.

We have the right to disconnect or revoke our 30 day money back guarantee for all customers at any time, without prior notice

5. SERVICE.

5.1 Service Distinctions.

Our service is not a telecommunications service, but rather a digital voice service. All services are provided on a best effort basis. There are important distinctions between a telecommunications service and our digital voice service. Our service is subject to different regulatory treatment than a telecommunications service. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before regulatory agencies. Our service requires a high-speed broadband connection to work effectively. Events beyond our control may affect our service, such as power outages, fluctuations in the Internet speed you are receiving from your provider, your ISP or broadband service provider, or maintenance. We will always act in good faith to minimize disruptions to your use of and access to our service.

NEWco Customer Care Department Representatives will have access to your account in order to identify and problem-solve technical issues with your account. NEWco Customer Care Department Representatives will only be able to answer questions relating to your digital voice services with NEWco and not questions which may relate to your broadband unless you are a NEWco Broadband subscriber. Should a problem with your Internet provider be identified by a NEWco Customer Care Department Representatives, you understand that it is your responsibility to contact this provider, and not the responsibility of NEWco.

5.2 Residential Use of Service and Device.

If you subscribe to our residential service plans, we provide you with service and the device solely for normal residential, non-commercial use. If you subscribe to a service plan which permits use of more than one device with the same voice line, the basis for assessing such use will not change.

5.3 (A) Business Plans.

If you subscribe to any of NEWco's business plans we provide our service and the device to you solely for use as a small business user or domestic business traveler. If you subscribe to a business plan, you are responsible for supplying, operating, and supporting the standard SIP based Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) for use with the service. As the subscriber and operator or administrator of this equipment, you are responsible for maintaining the security of the equipment, including but not limited to the physical and network security elements of your device.

5.3 (B) Enterprise Plans.

If you subscribe to any of NEWco's Enterprise Level plans, NEWco provides both equipment and service to your location. NEWco will act as the administrator on your phone account. NEWco is responsible for ensuring your SIP based CPE has been provisioned correctly and will work with you on an ongoing basis to ensure SIP devices are configured correctly. You understand that additional charges may be applied to your account for changes to your system after initial setup, and for ongoing maintenance which will be detailed under a separate agreement.

5.4 Inconsistent with Normal Use.

If you use the service or the device in a way that is inconsistent with the normal use for your service or plan, you will be required, at NEWco's sole discretion, to pay the rates for the service or plan that would apply to the way you used the service or device, or terminate the plan. For example, if you subscribe to one of our residential service plans, and you are notified that your usage is inconsistent with normal residential use, you may thereafter be required to pay our higher rates for business service for all periods in which your use of our service or the device was inconsistent with normal residential use. More than 5,000 minutes per line per month for unlimited residential calling and more than 10,000 minutes per line per month for unlimited business calling will not be considered normal use. The creation or use of related multiple accounts or excessive residential lines to circumvent these levels are also considered inconsistent with normal use. Usage over these levels or other inconsistent use will result, at NEWco's sole discretion, in immediate mandatory transfer to another appropriate plan, suspension or termination of service. You acknowledge that if your service is terminated under this provision, you are subject to all applicable termination charges. Here is a non-exhaustive list of examples of inconsistent service on a residential line:

(i) Commercial, not-for profit, governmental use or other similar use; or

(ii) The use of the service at a multi-residential address for more than one single residence; orr

(iii)The use of the service by others who do not reside in your personal residence primarily by reason of its unlimited feature

5.5 No 0+ or Operator Assisted Calling.

NEWco Digital Voice may not support x11 Calling. Our service does not support 0+ or operator assisted calling, including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls, 900, or calling card calls. Our service may not support 311, 511, and other x11 services in one or more service areas. Our service does support specified dialing such as 911 and 411, which are provided for elsewhere in these Terms of Service.

5.6 No Directory Listing.

The phone numbers you get from us will not be listed in any telephone directories. However, any phone numbers you transfer from your local phone company may be listed. Additionally, you may contact your local Yellow Pages to have NEWco digital voice numbers listed in the phone book as a business.

5.7 Incompatibility With Other Services.

5.7 (A) Non-Voice Equipment Limitations.

You acknowledge that our service may not be compatible with all non-voice communications equipment, including but not limited to home security systems, medical monitoring equipment, certain versions of TiVo� or other television remote recording devices, satellite television systems, PBX systems, Centrex plans from TELCOs, other private telephone networks, or computer modems. You waive any claim against NEWco for interference with or disruption of these services and their associated equipment, as well as any claim that NEWco is responsible for any disruption to your business, if applicable.

5.7 (B) Certain Broadband, Cable Modem, and Other Services.

There may also be other services with which our service may be incompatible. Some providers of broadband service may provide modems that prevent the transmission of communications using our service by means of blocking the ports our SIP services use to communicate. We do not warrant that our services will be compatible with all broadband services and expressly disclaim any express or implied warranties regarding the compatibility of our service with any particular broadband service. Customers should be aware that such incompatibility issues may not manifest themselves promptly upon connection of NEWco equipment, and furthermore such issues may in fact only manifest once NEWco's equipment has been connected to a network for a certain period, or subjected to certain usage patterns.

5.8 Passwords.

You will be asked to create a password in order to gain access to your account information on-line or when contacting a NEWco agent by phone. You agree to keep all passwords and account information confidential and are solely responsible for any liability or damages resulting from your failure to maintain that confidentiality and for all activities that occur under your password. You must immediately notify us if you suspect any breach of security such as loss, or unauthorized disclosure or use of your password and account. Should a breach occur, once notified, NEWco will provide you with a new account password and the old one will become null and void.

5.9 Changes to Service Plans.

Your service plan includes terms and conditions such as monthly service allowances and calling features, and the charges associated with those allowances and features, all as described in the materials made available to you on your subscription date. You acknowledge that your service plan is also subject to these Terms of Service. Our service is subject to our business policies, practices and procedures, which we can change at any time without notice. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, we can also change the terms and conditions of your service plan (such as features and prices) at any time, with or without notice. If we do give you notice, it may be provided on your account web page or monthly bill, in a newsletter, in a mailing, by e-mail, or other communication permitted under applicable law.

6. LENGTH OF SERVICE.

6.1 Service Term / Contract Term.

We provide our service to you indefinitely. Your service term refers to the period of time for which we will bill you periodically in advance (for example, one month or one year). The service term is the term that you selected from the options available when you signed up for our service. Your first service term begins on the subscription date, which is the date you first ordered service or the date we successfully process your payment, whichever is later.

We will disclose the length of the commitment as part of the promotion or plan.

7.4 Number Transfer or "Port" on Service Disconnection.

7.4 (A) Single-Line Accounts.

You may be able to take, or "port," your current number to another telephone or digital voice service provider. If you ask your new service provider to port a number from us, and we receive your request from the new service provider, we will terminate our service for that number upon successful completion of the port. Once your service is terminated and the port is completed, you will remain responsible for all charges and fees through the end of that billing cycle, including any cancellation fees. If a port is unsuccessful for any reason, your service and your agreement with us will not terminate, you will remain a NEWco customer, and you will continue to be responsible for all charges and fees associated with your NEWco service until a successful port can take place.

7.4 (B) Multiple-Line Accounts.

If you request your new service provider to port a number from us and you have multiple numbers assigned to your account and/or additional devices on your account, you are required to inform us of your intent to terminate all the services on your account, prior to the successful completion of the requested port or we will select the most appropriate billing plan for any remaining numbers and/or devices on your NEWco account, and you will continue to be responsible for all the charges and fees associated with the remaining services on your NEWco account. Once the port of the requested number is completed, you will remain responsible for all charges and fees through the end of that billing cycle, including any cancellation fees applicable to the ported number.

7.5 Termination of Service.

In order to terminate your service, you must contact NEWco's Customer Care Department, via telephone, at the following toll-free number: 1-877-548-8429. Our Account Management Department is available to assist you Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. \u2013 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Please note that simply returning your device to us, without notifying our Customer Care Department that you wish to terminate service, and without receiving a return authorization number from us, will not result in a termination of your service and you will remain responsible for all costs and fees associated with your account until such time as your account is terminated correctly or satisfied by payment in full.

8. DEVICES.

8.1 Devices Purchased from a Retail Provider.

8.1 (A) Return of Device.

Except as provided in the limited warranty found in Section 8.1(B) below, if you purchased your device from a retail provider, you may return your device only to that retail provider. All device returns are subject to the return policy of the retail provider and are not eligible for our money back guarantee. We will not accept any device returned to us from a retail customer. If NEWco inadvertently accepts a device purchased from a retail provider or a device belonging to a customer somehow comes into the possession of NEWco, it may be returned at the customer's sole expense.

8.1 (B) Limited Warranty from NEWco for Retail Customers Only.

We will provide a limited warranty on the device only for manufacturing defects for a period of 1 year from your subscription date. This retail customer limited warranty does not apply to any defect or failure other than a manufacturing defect. Without limiting the generality of the warranty, it does not apply to any defect caused by damage in transit, retailer handling, or your handling of your device. Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. For returns subject to this retail customer limited warranty, the following conditions must be satisfied:

We receive your device, in its original condition, reasonable wear and tear excluded, together with the original packaging, all parts, accessories, and documentation;

Before returning your device to us, and within 1 year from your subscription date, you need to obtain a valid return authorization number from our Customer Care Department, which you can reach by calling 1-877-548-8429.

You pay all costs of shipping your device back to us.

8.2 Devices Received from Us.

8.2 (A) Limited Warranty.

Except as set forth in these Terms of Service, if you received a device from us and the device included a limited warranty from another person (such as the manufacturer) at the time you received it, you should read the separate limited warranty document you got with the device for information on the limitation and disclaimer of certain warranties. We will provide a limited warranty on the device only for manufacturing defects for a period of 1 year from your subscription date. Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

8.2 (B) Repair or Replacement.

Your only remedy for any breach of any limited warranty or other breach of any duty regarding a device is to get a repaired or replacement device by following our return procedures. This limited warranty applies in place of the limited warranty included with the device if the included limited warranty is less favorable to you than this warranty.

8.2 (C) Service Cancellation.

If you cancel your service within the money back guarantee period, you may obtain a credit for the amount paid for the device, if you return your device to us according to the money back guarantee conditions.

8.2 (D) Receipt of Damaged Devices.

If you receive cartons or devices that are visibly damaged, you must note the damage on the carrier's freight bill or receipt and keep a copy. You must also keep the original carton, all packing materials, and parts in the same condition in which you received them from the carrier. You must then contact our Customer Care Department immediately at 1-877-548-8429.

8.2 (E) Ownership and Risk of Loss.

You will own your device and bear all the risk of loss, theft, or damage. This risk is from the time we ship your device to you until the time you return it to us according to this agreement.

8.3 Tampering with the Device.

You may not change the electronic serial number or equipment identifier or encryption keys or other authentication or technical data of your device or perform a factory reset of your device without first getting our written consent.

8.4 Prohibited Devices.

From time to time, NEWco may publish a list of devices which are prohibited from using our services. That list shall appear in this section.

8.5 Disclaimer.

Other than express warranties for the device in the documentation that comes with your device and the retail customer limited warranty in this agreement, following the term of the limited warranty, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, and specifically disclaim, following the term of the limited warranty, any warranty of merchantability, fitness of the device for a particular purpose, title or non-infringement, or any warranty arising by usage of trade, course of dealing, or course of performance, or any warranty that the device or any firmware or software is "error free" or will meet your requirements. This section does not limit any disclaimer or limitation of warranty in the documentation provided with your device. Device warranties do not apply to Business Plus customers.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from State to State.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND BINDING ARBITRATION.

It is important that you read this entire section carefully. This section provides for resolution of disputes through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury.

15.1 Arbitration.

NEWco and you agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims between you and NEWco. Arbitration means that all disputes and claims will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of by a judge or jury in a court. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be given the broadest possible meaning under the law. It includes, but is not limited to: disputes and claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and NEWco, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; disputes and claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); disputes and claims that may arise after the termination of this agreement; disputes and claims that are currently the subject of individual litigation; disputes and claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and disputes and claims concerning the scope of this arbitration provision. References to "NEWco," "us" and "you" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the service under this agreement or any prior agreements between you and NEWco.

15.2 Informal Resolution of Disputes.

Our Customer Care Department can resolve most customer concerns quickly and to the customer's satisfaction. If you have a dispute or claim against us, you should first contact the NEWco Customer Care Department by telephone at 1-877-548-8429. In the event your dispute or claim is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may seek to have that dispute or claim resolved as set forth below.

15.3 Formal Notice of Disputes.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute.

15.3 (A) Notification of Dispute by Customer.

A Notice of Dispute to NEWco must be sent to NEWco:

15.3 (B) Notification of Dispute by NEWco.

A Notice of Dispute to you must be sent to you:

(i) By certified mail at the last mailing address that you registered with NEWco; or

15.3 (C) Proper Format of Notice of Dispute.

The Notice of Dispute must, at a minimum, include the following:

(ii) Set forth the specific relief sought.

(iii) Provide sufficient information to uniquely and accurately identify the claimant (e.g. customer number, company name, taxpayer identification number)

15.3 (D) Progression to Arbitration.

If you and NEWco do not reach an agreement to resolve the dispute or claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is received, you or NEWco may commence an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by you or NEWco shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or NEWco is entitled.

15.4 Arbitrator and Arbitral Rules.

The arbitrator shall be a mutually agreed upon individual or entity.

15.5 Location and Procedure of Arbitration.

Arbitration shall occur at the NEWco Corporate Headquarters located at NEW High-Speed Internet, PO Box 5233, West Lebanon, NH, 03784.

15.6 Fees and Costs.

You are responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys' or expert witness fees. If the arbitration proceeding is decided in NEWco's favor, you shall reimburse NEWco for the fees and costs NEWco has expended during arbitration. If the arbitration proceeding is decided in your favor, you will not be required to reimburse NEWco for any of the fees and costs advanced by NEWco. If the party elects to appeal an award, the prevailing party in the appeal shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in that appeal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this arbitration provision, NEWco shall pay all fees and costs which it is required by law to pay.

15.7 Waiver of Jury Trial.

You and NEWco agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and NEWco are waiving the right to a trial by jury.

You and NEWco agree that the arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. You and NEWco agree that you and NEWco may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You and NEWco agree that, unless you and NEWco agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's or entity's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Despite �14.7 or any other provision in this agreement to the contrary, if this specific waiver of class actions provision, or any portion thereof, is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this dispute resolution and binding arbitration provision shall be null and void.

15.9 Statute of Limitations.

You must contact us within one (1) year of the date of the occurrence of the event or facts giving rise to a dispute (except for billing disputes which are subject to �10.5 of the agreement), or you waive the right to pursue a claim based upon such event, facts, or dispute.
