IMPORTANT NOTICE RELATING TO THIS GUIDE AND FORMER TARIFFS

 

Prior to August 1, 2001, service was furnished under WorldCom Federal Systems Tariff FCC No. 1 filed with the Federal Communications Commission and now canceled.  Beginning August 1, 2001, service is being furnished pursuant to this Guide and any underlying written contract between the Company and the Customer.

 

Please note the following regarding this important change.

 

·        WorldCom Federal Systems Tariff FCC No. 1 was amended on June 23, 2001 to incorporate new or revised General Definitions and new or revised General Terms and Conditions of Service contained in WorldCom Tariff FCC No. 1.  Like the service in former WorldCom Federal Systems Tariff FCC No. 1, these General Definitions and General Terms and Conditions are now part of this Guide and, therefore, are part of customer service contracts.  Some of the definitions and terms and conditions contained in former WorldCom Federal Systems Tariff FCC No. 1 are reflected in the General Definitions and General Terms and Conditions of Service and, accordingly, were removed from the former tariff at the time of detariffing on July 31, 2001. This explains why there may be omissions or “gaps” in the service information previously found in WorldCom Federal Systems Tariff FCC. No. 1 and currently contained in this Guide.

 

·        Except as noted in the preceding paragraph, the text of this Guide replicates the information contained in former  WorldCom Federal Systems Tariff FCC No. 1 on July 31, 2001.

 

·        If there is an inconsistency between a General Definition or a General Term and Condition, a service-specific definition or term and condition, or a definition and term and condition contained in a written contract between the Company and the Customer, the relationship with the Customer will consist of the following, in order of precedence from (1) through (3): (1) the definition or term and condition in the written contract; (2) the service-specific definition or term and condition; and (3) the General Definition or Term and Condition.  An “inconsistency” will be deemed to include any instance in which a service-specific definition or a service-specific term and condition has no counterpart in the General Definitions or the General Terms and Conditions of Service.

 

·                    The Company may change the Guide from time to time and any change made will be binding on customers after fulfillment of the notice period set forth in Section 7.B of the General Terms and Conditions.

 

·                    Any reference to “tariff” within the text of the Guide shall mean “Guide.”

          G.   The Company shall only be liable for any defacement of or damage to the customer's premise or equipment of the customer or others resulting from the furnishing of facilities by the Company on such premises or by the installation or removal thereof, when such defacement or damage is the result of a willful act of the agents or employees of the Company.

 

          H.   The Company assumes no responsibility for the availability or performance of any cable or satellite systems or related facilities, under the control of other entities, or for other facilities provided by other entities used for service to the customer, even if the Company has acted as the customer's agent in arranging for such facilities or services, except to the extent that such nonperformance or nonavailability is the result of a willful act of the Company.  Such facilities are provided subject to such degree of protection or nonpreemptibility as may be provided by the other entities.

2.7. Cancellation of an Order for Service by the Customer

 

     2.7.1.    Generally

 

          An order for service may be canceled by the customer upon receipt of written notice directed to the Company's corporate office.  The cancellation will become effective from the date of receipt by the Company of the customer's notice except as otherwise indicated in subsequent provisions of this tariff. Cancellation penalties as outlined below will apply.

 

     2.7.2.    Cancellation Charges

 

          A.   Where the customer cancels an order for any services specified in this tariff, the full service rates specified in that section and the schedule shown below will be utilized in calculating the cancellation charge, irrespective of all special promotion rates.

 

              Less than thirty days         No recurring                     after receipt of order       charges

 

              Thirty to ninety days        One month's

              after receipt of order       recurring charges

 

              More than ninety days         Three month's

              after receipt of order       recurring charges

 

          B.   Where installation of service had begun prior to the receipt of a cancellation notice, except as otherwise indicated, the customer will be responsible for a charge equal to the non-recoverable costs incurred in the construction, such as the cost of equipment and materials, cost of installation, engineering, labor, supervision, general and administrative expenses, overhead, interest during construction, other disbursements, taxes and any other non-recoverable costs which may be incurred, less estimated net salvage.

 

          C.   Any charges imposed on the Company by any other facilities supplier as a result of cancellation of the application for service will be directly passed through to the customer.

 

          D.   Installation of special arrangement work is considered to have started when the Company incurs any cost including cancellation penalties imposed on the Company by its vendors in connection therewith or in preparation thereof which would not otherwise have been incurred, provided the customer has given the Company prior authorization to undertake the special arrangement.

 

2.8. Cancellation of Service by Customer

 

     Service may be terminated by the customer upon receipt of forty-five (45) days written notice directed to the Company's corporate office, computed from the date of receipt by the Company of the notice.

 

     Termination liability will apply as follows, whether or not the customer continues to use the service.

 

     2.8.1.    If the customer is not receiving service under a contract of specified term, the customer is liable for full payment for the remainder of the minimum service period specified in this tariff, or for forty-five (45) days, whichever is longer.  If the customer gives the company more than forty-five (45) days notice, the customer is liable for all charges until the requested discontinuance date.

 

     2.8.2.    If cancellation of service occurs anytime during a contract which is for one year or less, the customer is liable for full payment for the minimum service period specified in this tariff, or for the remaining contract value, whichever is greater.

 

     2.8.3.    Cancellation during a multi-year contract

 

          A.   Cancellation during the first year

              The customer is liable for full payment for the remainder of the first year at the one year monthly rate, plus the current monthly contract rate times the number of full unexpired years remaining in the contract.  For example, if the charge for a certain service is $1,000 per month for a five year contract, and $1,500 per month for a one year contract, and a customer contracts for five years, but cancels after six months, that customer would owe (6 x $1,500) + ($1,000 x 4) = $13,000.

 

          B.   Cancellation after the first year

              The customer is liable for the difference between the current monthly contract rate and the previous term monthly rate (as defined below), multiplied by the number of months of service actually provided; plus one month's charges at the current contract rate times the number of full unexpired years remaining in the contract.

 

          C.   Definition of "previous term monthly rate":  In those situations where the customer has signed a multi-year contract, the previous term is the available contract term for the service which directly precedes the term under which the customer contracted.  The previous term monthly rate, then, is the rate for the previous term.  For example, if a customer signs a five year contract for a service which also has rates for one and three years, and the customer cancels during the fourth year, the previous term monthly rate is the rate for a three year contract.

 

2.9. Termination by the Company for Cause or Non-Payment

 

     2.9.1.    Termination For Cause

 

          A.   The Company may immediately and without notice terminate any service or application for service if the Company deems that such action is necessary to protect against fraud or to otherwise protect its personnel, agents, facilities or services.

 

          B.   The Company may also terminate service upon written notice to the customer:

 

              1.   for any violation of any of the provisions governing the furnishing of service under this tariff.

              2.   for any violation of any law, rule,  regulation or policy of any government  authority having jurisdiction over the  service.

              3.   by reason of any order or decision of a  court or other government authority having  jurisdiction over the service which prohibits the Company from furnishing such service.

              4.   upon notification to the Company from the  customer's bank that the customer's payment  check is being returned due to "insufficient  funds."

              5.   where there has been any intentional or de facto transfer or assignment of services supplied by the Company, or a transfer of control of the customer, without the express written authorization of the Company, which  shall be deemed a fraudulent use.

              6.   where a customer's use of the service has   materially increased and a deposit has been requested by the Company, and the deposit has not been paid by the customer.

              7.   if a customer becomes the subject of a   bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding, or upon commencement of any other action  against the customer with respect to creditors in the nature of bankruptcy or insolvency.

 

     2.9.2.    Termination For Non-Payment

 

          The Company may terminate service after the longer of (i) seven (7) business days after the date of mailing of written notice to the customer of nonpayment of any sum thirty (30) days past due, or (ii) the minimum notice period required by local law, if payment is not received by the Company within the applicable time period.

 

     2.9.3.    Termination Liability

 

          Upon termination of service by the Company, the customer is responsible for payment of all sums due, including any charges that would apply under this tariff, termination liabilities or minimum service charges, and any other costs which the Company may incur as a result of service termination.

 

     2.9.4.    Restoration of Service

 

          Service may be restored to a customer only after all  violations are corrected and all payments are current  to the sole satisfaction of the Company.

 

2.10.     Service Interruption Allowance

 

     Pursuant to a customer's request, the Company will make allowance for interruption on channels in accordance with the following; provided, however, no credit will be allowed for any interruption caused by (i) the negligence of the customer, (ii) degradation or failure of the facilities or equipment furnished by the customer, including power, (iii) degradation or failure of equipment or services furnished by others, or (iv) the Company's failure to perform as delineated in Section 2.1.3 (C), preceding.

 

     2.10.1.   The interruption shall be measured from the time the customer notifies the Company of the interruption until such time as the Company makes the service available again for the customer's use.

 

     2.10.2.   No credit will be allowed for service interruptions where, after being reported by the customer, the  Company or its agent is denied access to the customer's premises or is requested by the customer to suspend the trouble isolation and repair work.

 

     2.10.3.   No credit will be allowed for an interruption associated with the implementation of the customer's own order.

 

     2.10.4.   The amount of credit will be computed as follows:

 

              A.   No credit will be given for interruptions of less than thirty (30) minutes.

 

              B.   Credit will be allowed for an interruption of one-half hour or more and will be  proportionate to the monthly recurring service  charges for each half hour or fraction thereof  of outage.  Each half hour outage amounts to 1/1440 of the monthly charge.

 

              C.   Credit allowances in any month will be made  only when the calculated amount of the credit  for an interruption amounts to ten dollars  ($10.00) or more, per channel.
