1. Definitions. "Clarity" means Clarity Wireless Communications, Inc. or its successor companies, which has offices at 200 Pleasant Grove Road, Ithaca, NY 14850 at the time of this signing.
"The Subscriber" refers to an individual, corporation or legal entity who incurs usage charges for Clarity services, for its own use or who incurs such charges on behalf of a third party user.
2. Price.
A. General. The Subscriber shall pay to Clarity the charges associated with the rate plan selected, including without limitation, deposits, setup fees, equipment purchase and/or rentals, service charges, etc., all as set forth on the attached schedule.
B. Usage Based Pricing. Clarity reserves the right to establish incremental service charges for use of Clarity's services exceeding stated thresholds as set forth from time to time on the system info page (www.clarityconnect.com/wireless_terms.html). Said usage-based pricing will be billed in arrears. For example, incremental usage above the threshold for the month of January would be billed on February's invoice. At this time Clarity has not imposed incremental service charges.
C. Changes. This subscriber agreement is subject to change at Clarity’s
discretion and will be posted under http://www.clarityconnect.com/wireless_terms.html. Any changes will not take place for 30 days after being posted for your inspection.
If you do not agree with the changes Clarity will either give you a written
exception to the change or agree to refund the balance of your subscription
according to 2(E) below. Though Clarity will attempt to email any significant
changes in this document to you, it is your responsibility to check the URL
periodically for changes.
D. Payment. With the exception of possible usage based fees, (section 2(B) above) which will be billed in arrears, payment of all charges are due and must be received by Clarity on the first day of the service period selected by the Subscriber. Service may be suspended at any time if an account is overdue. Failure to suspend an overdue account does not affect Clarity's right to suspend an account in the future for being overdue.
A $3 reconnect fee will be assessed on all disabled accounts. Accounts more than forty-five (45) days overdue will be cancelled and all Clarity owned equipment recovered. Returned checks will be charged a fee of $25.00.
E. Refunds are available for early cancellation of accounts in good standing on quarterly and yearly subscriptions based on the rate the subscriber would have paid for the service if paid monthly. For example, a yearly subscription cancelled after 99 days would be considered 4 single month's of service and would get a refund of the prepaid service less what 4 monthly payments would have been. Keep in mind that you must provide 30 days notice before a cancellation takes effect and request the refund at the time of cancellation. MONTHLY SERVICE IS NOT PRORATED.
If the Subscriber has been found to have violated the terms of this agreement in Clarity's sole judgement (for example, sending out spam), no refund will be provided.
F. Renewalsare automatically billed. The customer will receive an emailed reminder of the renewal charges. A hard copy US Mail or faxed invoice option is $3/invoice. Customer must specify they wish to receive a US Mail or faxed invoice.
G. Dial-up. Clarity will provide the subscriber with a back-up dial-up account in the event the wireless system is unavailable.
3. Term and Termination.
This agreement commences upon activation of service by Clarity and remains
in effect for the selected rate plan period and is automatically renewed for
the plan’s term (monthly, quarterly, or yearly) until terminated as herein
provided. A month is defined as 30 days, a quarter is 3 months, and a year
is 12 months.
Subscriber may terminate this agreement upon thirty days advance online notice
or other written notice. Refunds on any prepaid recurring charges are available
upon request as noted in item (2E) above.
At its discretion, Clarity shall have the right to suspend or terminate this
agreement at any time without cause and without prior notice to subscriber.
