This is the best way for us to schedule a disconnect for your service and to make arrangements for the return of Fidelity Communications’ equipment.

If you are currently under contract, additional penalties and fees may apply.
- Service Calls: If you are experiencing trouble with your service, please contact our Customer Service Department at 800-392-8070. If a customer service representative cannot resolve the problem with you over the phone, we will schedule a service technician visit. Technicians will be dispatched to address service problems on a prioritized basis. Emergencies such as fallen lines, violent storms, ice, or other weather-related problems may interfere with service. We seek to ensure consistently reliable services, but from time to time, service outages can occur. Additional truck roll fees may apply when the problem is caused by the customer or use of non-Fidelity Communications equipment.
- Access to Customer Premises: By ordering service, you agree to allow Fidelity Communications employees and agents access to your premises
at reasonable times to inspect and maintain the TV, Internet and/or phone equipment and, upon termination of service, to remove the equipment. Under no circumstances shall Fidelity Communications be deemed to have abandoned equipment that it does not remove. - Buried Drops: The“drop” represents the line connecting your building with main line cable located on a pole or pedestal (buried “drop.”) On occasion, it is necessary to temporarily place these lines on top of the ground. Fidelity will make every effort to bury these facilities with six to eight weeks of installation, weather permitting. If a drop has been inadvertently missed, please call service at 1-800-392-8070.
- Home Wiring: The FCC requires the company to provide customers the opportunity to acquire home wiring before removing it from customer’s premises upon termination of service. The FCC defines home wiring as the wiring located within the premises or dwelling unit of the customer that has been installed by the company or its contractor. Home wiring is the cable/wire itself and does not include any active hardware such as decoder boxes, remote controls units, amplifiers, or similar equipment. The FCC’s rules only cover wiring located within the customer’s premises and not the wiring outside the house or the common wiring in multiple unit dwellings. The demarcation point for the home wiring in single family homes is approximately twelve inches outside of where the wire enters the outside wall of the customer’s premises.
- The rules apply only to voluntary service terminations by customers. Involuntary service terminations that result from theft of service or nonpayment by the customer do not follow the same rules. If involuntary termination occurs, the company may remove the home wiring from the customer’s premises without first offering it to the customer, unless ownership of the wiring has already been transferred by the operator to the customer. Though the FCC rules allow a company to sell the wiring if the above conditions are met,
- Fidelity Communications has elected to transfer ownership at no charge to the customer. If renting, the customer must have written permission from his/her landlord before Fidelity Communications can install or remove any jack or wiring.
- Digging: Call your local office 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) before you dig. If you are planning to dig or diver posts, call Fidelity Communications to locate the Fidelity Communications lines. If Fidelity Communications does not receive a call, you may be responsible for repair costs.

- How Traditional TV Services Work: The programming you enjoy on cable television is delivered to you through a complex series of electronic components and many miles of fiber optic and coaxial cable installed throughout your community. For each channel that is cablecast, signals might be received via satellite, fiber, microwave, or broadcast antennas at a central collection point. These signals are then processed, modulated, and/or converted for cable distribution.

- Although Fidelity Communications does not sell traditional cable TV service any longer, some television customers
that have not switch to FidelityTV still have traditional cable TV with cable TV receivers. Fidelity Communications offered digital receivers for a monthly fee to access programming. Converter boxes lawfully purchased at retail will not have the capability to unscramble our scrambled programming. People who use illegal converter/descramblers or CableCARDs are actually stealing cable service and this practice ultimately results in increased prices to our paying subscribers. Fidelity Communications’ policy is to prosecute cable theft to the full extent allowed by law. - Remote Controls: Fidelity Communications includes a remote-control unit at no charge with each Fidelity TV Streaming Device. If you do not lease a FidelityTV Streaming Device, your smart TV or other streaming device remote will allow you to access the FidelityTV app.

Customers may choose to lease a modem from Fidelity Communications or purchase an approved model from a retailer.
E911 NOTICE
- As a component of your phone service, you will normally have access to the emergency 911 service at your registered address.

Additionally, your E911 service will not operate if there is a power outage in your home and the battery backup is not charged or does not last as long as the outage or if your service is interrupted due to network or other technical problems.
BILLING PROCEDURES
- Billing Cycle: Invoices for customers are generated each month and due in advance. The day that an invoice is generated for a current account, one without any overdue balance, is day 1 of the billing cycle for that account. Invoices are normally generated (and then mailed to a customer) at least five days in advance of the customer’s monthly service period. Because different systems may use several different billing cycles, the first day of your billing cycle could be the 1st of the month, or 28th of the month, or something in between.
- Your Monthly Statement: Your monthly statement is generated by our billing service. When you receive your statement, we recommend that you examine it carefully. The last date for which payments were posted is shown on the bill. Any payment received after that date will be reflected in your next billing statement. The balance (less any payments you made which are not yet posted) must be paid by the date indicated to avoid late fees or collection activity. The company is not responsible for payments mailed but not received on or before the due date. If you mail your payment, please allow seven business days for it to be posted to your account.
- Bill Payments: Fidelity Communications offers many
different methods of bill payment. We accept payments at www.fidelitycommunications.com/billpay/options, through the mail using the invoice from your monthly billing statement, through our automated phone system, and inside Walmart stores in the communities we offer service. Fidelity Communications also offers the ability to set up Fidelity Communications Easy Pay, a convenient monthly payment solution that will automatically debit your Credit Card, Debit Card, Checking, or Savings account for monthly payment. Fidelity Communications is no longer accepting payments at the local office. Payments made with a customer service representative over the phone will incur a $4.50 fee. A $2 processing fee will be applied for payments made inside Walmart. To avoid any fees when making a phone payment or payment in Walmart, use - our convenient and simple automated payment alternatives. Please visit us at www.fidelitycommunications.com or contact Fidelity Communications for more information about Fidelity Communications Easy Pay, and your many payment options. If you have any questions regarding your bill or disagree with any portion of your bill, immediately contact Fidelity Communications with your concerns. To make corrections or challenge a charge, you must contact us no later than 60 days from the bill’s Due By date at 1-800-392-8070. For any other billing questions, please contact Fidelity Communications by phone at 1-800-392-8070.
- Late Fees: Upon a customer’s failure to pay an invoice before the next monthly invoice is generated (on approximately day 30 of the billing cycle) Fidelity Communications may impose a late fee of $9.50 on the account, in accordance with applicable laws, and show the assessment of this late fee on the invoice. Fidelity Communications will not assess a late fee if services have already been terminated for non-payment. Fidelity Communications may terminate services on any account and require the return of its equipment on any account that has not paid its invoice by the beginning of the subsequent billing cycle. If Fidelity Communications makes a collection or disconnect attempt at the subscriber’s residence, then we may also be entitled to assess an additional charge for that home collection or disconnect effort. The late fees, collection and disconnect fees serve to benefit customers who pay in a timely fashion. Our rate schedule has been established with the anticipation that bills will be paid on time. Due to the difficulty in predicting what costs we will incur because of any specific late payments; our late fees are intended to be a reasonable estimate of our costs due to late payment. This is not an extension of credit, and the fees are not interest, a credit service charge, or a finance charge. The above late fee practices are modified in certain states to comply with applicable state or local laws, rules, or regulations.
- Disconnect Policy: A customer may request to have his TV, phone and/or Internet service(s) disconnected at any time. Billing for service will stop on the day you request the service to be discontinued, subject to billing for applicable fees and outstanding amounts due. Additionally, equipment Fidelity Communications has provided to you must be returned upon disconnection of service or appropriate charges will apply.
Reconnect/Reactivation Fee: If you do not pay your bill in full by its due date, or you at any time fail, neglect, or refuse to make timely payment for your services, we may electronically or physically disconnect or disable your services.
In such event, we will be wholly relieved from any and all of our duties and obligations under this agreement. Such disconnection or disablement will only take place after late fees have already been applied per the paragraph above. In the event you desire to reactivate your Disconnected Services, we will require you to pay, and you agree to pay, before we are required to reconnect or reactivate your services, all past due charges and all outstanding balances accrued through the date of such disconnection, plus a Reconnect Fee. - Disruption of Service: To report service outages or other problems, dial 1-800-392-8070 anytime.
- Billing Disputes: If you ever have any questions about your bill, call our Customer Service Department as soon as possible. When our representative answers your call, be as specific as you can in describing your question or problem, and no later than 60 days from the Due By date. A customer service representative will check our computer records for your account and will usually be able to answer your question while you are on the phone. Occasionally, it may be necessary for us to check records that are not immediately available. In these cases, we will ask for a telephone number where we can reach you as soon as that research has been completed. Where you have concerns regarding charges on your monthly statement, be sure to mention to the customer service representative the amount that you dispute. We encourage you to voluntarily pay any amounts not in dispute on time to avoid the assessment of applicable late fees.

CPNI includes information such as the telephone numbers called by a customer; the frequency, duration, and timing of such calls; and any optional phone features purchased by the customer, such as call waiting. We will not use, disclose, or permit access to your CPNI, except in connection with our provision of your phone service and related services, such as the publishing of directories, unless required by law or with your approval. Please note that we are permitted to use your CPNI to initiate, render, bill, and collect for our service; to protect against fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of our service; and to provide inbound telemarketing, referral, or administrative services. Additionally, there are several laws such as the Patriot Act and the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act which authorize law enforcement to override our privacy policies and through legal process, demand that we provide personal subscriber information and CPNI.

COMPLAINT RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION
- Read the following paragraphs carefully because they require the parties to arbitrate their private disputes and limit the manner in which you can seek relief from fidelity communications.
Fidelity Communications is committed to providing quality customer service, and our policies are intended to follow the Federal Communications Commission’s guidelines on customer service. Any time you have a problem with TV, internet, or phone service, please call our Customer Service Department at 800-392-8070. Our representatives are available 24/7 (billing support is available during normal weekday business hours only) and will help you or arrange for a technician to address the problem. If your problem is not resolved to your satisfaction, please contact your local system general manager, who will take corrective action. If your problem is still not handled to your satisfaction, you may contact the FCC or local regulatory authorities. By accepting service from Fidelity Communications, you and Fidelity Communications agree to binding arbitration of any disputes arising from such services or any aspect of your relationship with Fidelity Communications, except that You and Fidelity Communications are NOT required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. - Arbitration prevents you from suing Fidelity Communications in court or from having a jury trial. You and Fidelity Communications agree that you will notify Fidelity Communications of any dispute within 30 days of when it arises, that you and Fidelity Communications will attempt informal resolution prior to any demand for arbitration, that any arbitration will occur in the city of your nearest Fidelity Communications office, and that arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association by a single arbitrator selected by the parties or, if we cannot agree on an arbitrator, by the AAA. If it is necessary to file with the AAA to obtain its assistance in appointment of an arbitrator, Fidelity Communications will pay the entire filing fee and will pay all arbitrator’s fees.
- Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and Fidelity Communications will not commence against one another or seek a class action, class arbitration, or other consolidated, representative, or aggregate action or treatment, but the Arbitrator has the authority to grant any other remedy that would be available in court.
