We may be required to provide certain disclosures, notices and communications (collectively “Communications”) to you in written form. We will deliver such Communications to you in electronic form. Your agreement to these Terms confirms your ability and consent to receive such Communications electronically.
You consent to receive electronically all Communications that we may provide you in connection with your FLHSI Fiber account and your use of the Services. Communications include:

- payment authorizations and transaction receipts or confirmations;

- otherwise communicating them to you via the Services.
To access and retain electronic Communications, you will need to maintain or have access to the following computer hardware and software at your own expense:
- a computer or mobile device with Internet or mobile connectivity;
- a current web browser that includes 128-bit encryption (e.g., Internet Explorer version 6.0 and above, Firefox version 2.0 and above, Chrome version 3.0 and above, or Safari 3.0 and above) with cookies enabled;

You should maintain copies of electronic Communications by printing paper copies or saving electronic copies, as applicable. Also, you may contact FLHSI Fiber to request another electronic copy of a Communication. We reserve the right to terminate your use of the Services if you decline or withdraw consent to receive electronic Communications, except that you may decline to receive telephone calls and text messages without having your service terminated, as set out in the following section.
Eligibility for FLHSI Fiber Services
Although we hope to make FLHSI Fiber available to as many people and businesses as possible as quickly as we can, FLHSI Fiber reserves the right to determine whether any Services are made available to a particular address.
If FLHSI Fiber determines that the address at which you receive Services is not a business address, FLHSI Fiber may require you to transition to another type of account in order to continue receiving the Services. This transition may include an increase in any fee for the Services.
FLHSI Fiber Installation
You agree to provide FLHSI Fiber with all necessary access to the premises at the address where you sign up for Services to be installed (referred to as “your premises” below) so that the equipment necessary for you to receive the Services may be installed and configured. You agree that FLHSI Fiber may install equipment on the exterior and interior of your premises (including but not limited to laying underground conduit and/or affixing equipment to the outside of your building or facility) at any reasonable location. You also agree that FLHSI Fiber may use, and that you have the necessary permissions to approve FLHSI Fiber’s use of, existing facilities, including existing wiring in and around your premises, to complete the installation services.
If you rent or otherwise do not own your premises, you represent and warrant that you are authorized by the property owner to order FLHSI Fiber installation, and you acknowledge that you may be asked to provide written evidence that you have received all permissions necessary for FLHSI Fiber to perform installation services. If FLHSI Fiber incurs any costs or losses, including attorneys’ fees, because you did not get the necessary authorization(s) for FLHSI Fiber to install the equipment required for the Services, you are responsible for reimbursing FLHSI Fiber for those costs or losses.
Acceptance of these Terms does not guarantee that FLHSI Fiber will install or provide any Services. We may need a separate agreement with you or your landlord in order to install the Services.
Construction and Installation Fees
Sometimes we may need to charge a fee in connection with the construction or installation of your network connection (“construction fee” or “installation fee”). We will only charge you if we notify you of a construction or installation fee in your Estimate. FLHSI Fiber may allow some users to pay construction or installation fees in installments. If you cancel or make certain changes to your Service plans, or your Services are otherwise terminated due to failure to comply with these Terms, before you have paid the entire construction or installation fee, you agree to pay the outstanding construction or installation fee balance as of the date of such change, cancellation or termination. Construction and installation fees are subject to change.
FLHSI Fiber Equipment
FLHSI Fiber may provide or rent various pieces of equipment to you in connection with the Services. In some cases, to use the provided equipment, you will need to review and agree to terms of service governing use of the equipment. If you lose or damage this equipment after installation, FLHSI Fiber may charge you a fee for replacement equipment (see Fee Schedule). Equipment fees are subject to change.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise on our website, FLHSI Fiber owns all equipment provided by FLHSI Fiber in connection with the Services. From time to time, FLHSI Fiber may offer you equipment that you may purchase in connection with the Services under separate terms to be provided with such equipment.
You authorize FLHSI Fiber to install software upgrades on any equipment provided by FLHSI Fiber. You also agree not to use the FLHSI Fiber-owned equipment for any purpose other than using the Services.
Service Commitment and Price Guarantee
When you subscribe to FLHSI Fiber for Small Business, you enter into a service commitment and as provided in your service plan. You agree to pay recurring monthly service fees in advance of the billing cycle in which you will receive the Services, so any request for cancellation will take effect at the end of the billing cycle. See the Billing and Payment and Changing and Canceling Services; Termination sections below.
Using Your Own Network Router
If you order FLHSI Fiber for Small Business we will provide you with a Network Box or you can use your own router. If you do use your own router, you are responsible for making sure that your router is used in accordance with our Terms of Service, including our Acceptable Use Policy. Although we hope to make the Service compatible with as many network routers as possible, we cannot guarantee that your router will work with the Service.

You are responsible for all activity on the Services, whether such activity is undertaken by you or someone else.
As described in the Acceptable Use Policy, you may not resell the Services directly or indirectly. You agree, for example, not to provide the Services in hotel rooms, dormitory rooms in residence halls, private hospital rooms, or shared or rented office spaces that are paid for by customers. You may, however, provide the Services in common areas on your premises, such as lobbies or waiting areas.

You agree that FLHSI Fiber is not responsible for any third party charges you may incur in connection with your FLHSI Payments account, credit card or other payment method.
Changing and Canceling Services; Termination
You may change or cancel the Services at any time, but you may be required to pay for certain construction or installation fees that may have been waived when you signed up for the Service. (As noted above, any construction fee would have been disclosed to you during sign-up.) You may also be required to return some or all of the equipment. If you do not return this equipment, you may be required to pay a replacement fee.
When you change your Service by upgrading or downgrading your package, the fees will be prorated based upon the date that your Service changes.
If you request cancellation of all your Services, your Services will be available until the cancellation date you select. Once your service is disconnected, a credit for the remaining portion of the current billing cycle will be applied towards any remaining balance. Your FLHSI Fiber account will not be terminated until all billing obligations are resolved. If there is a credit balance at the time your account is terminated, it will be refunded to the last used payment method in your FLHSI Fiber account.
FLHSI Fiber reserves the right to terminate some or all of the Services it provides to you at any time, in its sole discretion without notice.
