THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE GOVERNING YOUR USE OF JUMPFIBER INTERNET SERVICE INCLUDE A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR JUMPFIBER RESIDENTIAL SERVICES, WHICH INCLUDES A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND PROVISIONS FOR OPTING OUT OF ARBITRATION.

JumpFiber Communications, Inc. on behalf of itself and its affiliates and subsidiaries authorized to provide the services set forth herein (“JumpFiber”) will provide its Internet access service (the “Internet Service”) to You (“Subscriber”) in accordance with these terms and conditions, which terms and conditions incorporate and include the Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), the General Terms and Conditions for JumpFiber Residential Services and the JumpFiber Privacy Policy, as they may be changed from time to time (collectively, the “Terms of Service”), all of which may be found at www.JumpFiber.com, under “Terms of Service/Policies” and “Your Privacy Rights.”

Terms that are initially capitalized but not defined, will have the defined meaning given to them in the other documents referenced above. This is a binding legal document (the “Agreement”).

JumpFiber regularly updates and amends Terms of Service. Subscriber should consult www.JumpFiber.com to be sure Subscriber remains in compliance.

1. Equipment: To use the Internet Service, Subscriber must meet minimum computer, device, and system requirements as identified by JumpFiber.

a. Computer Equipment: The personal computer or device that Subscriber uses to access the Internet Service must meet minimum configuration standards. Please refer to JumpFiber’s System Requirements for the current specifications. The minimum configuration standards may change, and JumpFiber will make reasonable efforts to support previously acceptable configurations; however, JumpFiber is not obligated to continue to provide such support. JumpFiber may supply equipment such as modems, gateways, routers, or wireless cards, for a fee, to operate the Internet Service. Subscriber acknowledges that such equipment may require updates and/or changes to the software resident in the equipment and that Subscriber may be required to perform such updates and/or changes. Notwithstanding, Subscriber hereby authorizes JumpFiber to perform updates and/or changes, on-site or remotely from time to time as JumpFiber deems necessary, in JumpFiber’s sole discretion.

b. JumpFiber does not provide technical assistance for third-party hardware or software, including but not limited to home networks or gaming systems. Any questions concerning third-party hardware or software should be directed to the manufacturer of that product. JumpFiber is not responsible for the operation or support, maintenance or repair of any equipment, software or services that Subscriber elects to use in connection with the Internet Service.

c. Subscriber will not connect any equipment, other than equipment authorized by JumpFiber. Subscriber understands that failure to comply with this restriction may cause damage to the JumpFiber network and subject Subscriber to liability for damages and/or criminal prosecution. Subscriber may not alter, modify or tamper with the Equipment or the Internet Service, or permit any other person, not authorized by JumpFiber, to do the same.

2. JumpFiber Equipment: Subscriber may obtain a router from JumpFiber or may purchase a compliant router from a third party retailer. The minimum specifications for routers approved for use with JumpFiber’s network, systems and services are set forth at Compliant Routers on JumpFiber’s Network. JumpFiber reserves the right to provide service only to users with JumpFiber-approved compliant routers. Subscriber must return routers and any other equipment leased from JumpFiber at the end of the lease period.

3. Security: Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that when using the Internet Service to access the Internet or any other online network or service, there are certain risks that may enable other Internet users to gain access to or use of Subscriber’s equipment. Subscriber is responsible for taking and should take all appropriate security measures when using the Internet Service. Subscriber assumes sole responsibility for Subscriber’s equipment used in conjunction with the Internet Service and for providing and configuring any “firewall” or security measures for use with the Internet Service to prevent damage from viruses, malware, or other similar malicious items, and Subscriber, not JumpFiber, shall be solely responsible in any manner for the effectiveness of these blocking and filtering technologies. JumpFiber does not warrant that others will be unable to gain access to Subscriber’s computer(s) and/or data even if Subscriber utilizes blocking and filtering technologies, nor does JumpFiber warrant that the data or files will be free from computer viruses or other harmful components. JumpFiber has no responsibility and assumes no liability for the protections Subscriber may employ nor for any damages that may arise from accessing the Internet.

Subscriber shall not permit or enable any use of Subscriber’s account or account passwords by any person not a member of Subscriber’s household. Subscriber is responsible for any misuse of the Internet Service that occurs through Subscriber’s account whether by a member of Subscriber’s household or unauthorized third-party.

4. Cookies: Subscriber may access their JumpFiber e-mail account at www.spectrum.net, or by using the user’s software application (e.g. Outlook, Outlook Express, Incredimail, and Apple Mail). When accessing e-mail at www.spectrum.net, Subscriber must have their browser configured to accept cookies. www.Spectrum.net will notify the user, if their browser is not configured to accept cookies.

5. Monitoring the Internet Service and Privacy: JumpFiber takes the protection of our Subscribers’ privacy seriously. JumpFiber has no obligation to monitor content; however, Subscriber agrees that JumpFiber has the right to monitor the Internet Service (including but not limited to, content and Subscriber equipment as it may affect the Internet Service from time to time) in accordance with this Agreement, the AUP and JumpFiber’s Privacy Policy.

For content residing on JumpFiber’s servers, JumpFiber reserves the right at all times and without notice to remove, restrict access to, or make unavailable, and to monitor, review, retain and/or disclose any content or other information in JumpFiber’s possession about or related to Subscriber, Subscriber’s use of the Internet Service or otherwise as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, or otherwise to preserve the security of the System or JumpFiber subscribers’ information.

For more information on JumpFiber’s approach to Subscriber’s privacy, please refer to the JumpFiber Residential Subscriber Privacy Policy.
