Inside telephone wire is defined as the wire that runs from our connection point (usually a small box on the outside of your home) to the telephone jacks or outlets inside your home that you plug your phone into. Except for inside telephone wire and jacks providing ATC DSL service, inside telephone wire and jacks does not include wire or cable serving other electronic systems such as computers or entertainment systems. It does not include distribution panels or other non-wire parts of so-called structured wire systems. “Trouble location” means that we will identify whether the problem is in you inside telephone wire and telephone jacks or your telephone set. It does not include trouble location when the trouble is in equipment connected to or used with your DSL or any other high speed computer service.

We will provide our repair work in a reasonable manner, so we may reroute wire along baseboards or some other location to avoid replacement or repair of drywall, plaster or other materials and to avoid unnecessary work.

The Plan covers repair to existing, working jacks and wiring, but not initial installation. At least one jack in your home must be working before the Plan is effective. Inside Wire Maintenance does not cover trouble that exists prior to establishing telephone service or prior to establishing the Plan.

Billing: The Plan is billed monthly, in advance, and is listed as an optional service on your monthly phone bill or as part of your package of services.

Cancellation: Subject to any initial billing, you may cancel the Plan without further charge, as of the date you call us. We will continue to provide the Plan and expect you to pay for it until you do cancel either the Plan or your telephone service. By paying for or using the Plan, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

Suspension: We may suspend or discontinue the Plan without notice if no telephone service is being provided to you or if any misuse or abuse of the Plan occurs, or if a hazard or danger to person or property exists which could prevent our technicians from performing the work in a safe manner. We may also suspend or discontinue the Plan with notification, if we do not receive payment on time.

Deposit: Subject to any applicable rules or laws, if we hold a deposit for your account, we may apply it to any unpaid balance that you owe to us when services are terminated for any reason.

Changes: Subject to any applicable rules or laws, we may stop offering the Plan, change any of these Terms and Conditions and increase the monthly charge for the Plan. When significant changes in the Terms and Conditions or increases to the monthly charge occur, we will notify you 30 days prior to the effective date of the change or increased and if applicable, new Terms and Conditions will be sent to you. The notice may be included with your monthly bill and your continued use or payment for the Plan after such a change means you agree to it. Price decreases may be made with less than 30 days notification.

Taxes: We will add any applicable sales, use and other taxes or assessments and charges to your bill.
