Hayneville Telephone Company Broadband Services Standard Terms & Conditions
Subscriber acknowledges notice of, accepts and agrees to the terms and conditions (hereinafter the “Standard Terms and Conditions”), which are incorporated into and made a part of Subscriber’s Application for Service.
- Services. Hayneville Fiber Tranport, Inc., d/b/a Camellia Internet, (hereinafter “Camellia Internet”) will provide, and Subscriber will purchase, Internet services (“Services”) on the terms and conditions set forth in these Standard Terms and Conditions.
- Subscribers. Subscriber is responsible for his or her own end users. It is therefore the responsibility of every Subscriber to ensure that his or her end users understand and adhere to these Standard Terms and Conditions. Violations of these Standard Terms and Conditions by a third party will be considered a violation by the Subscriber of the Services.
- Initialization. The Subscriber is responsible for having a compatible computer system as set forth in the Camellia Internet Application Form prior to obtaining Services. Unless otherwise prescribed in writing, Camellia Internet’s only responsibility for initialization of the Services is the necessary Subscriber line connections in the Remote Terminals and to the Central Office equipment necessary to provide Subscriber’s Services on the Subscriber’s line. CAMELLIA INTERNET DOES NOT REPRESENT, WARRANT OR COVENANT THAT INSTALLATION BY SUBSCRIBER OR A THIRD PARTY CHOSEN BY SUBSCRIBER WILL ENABLE CUSTOMER TO SUCCESSFULLY ACCESS, OPERATE OR USE THE SERVICES, NOR THAT SUCH INSTALLATION WILL NOT CAUSE DAMAGE TO SUBSCRIBER’S COMPUTER, DATA, SOFTWARE, FILES OR PERIPHERALS. Camellia Internet does not offer computer peripheral device service or maintenance. In the event that the Subscriber insists that Camellia Internet render assistance in the installation of customer premises equipment, Subscriber acknowledges notice of, accepts and agrees to the terms and conditions set forth in Addendum A, attached hereto.
- Minimum System Requirements and Wiring. Subscriber acknowledges that its computer(s) must meet minimum requirements in order to access the Services. Subscriber also agrees and acknowledges that certain inside wiring and/or equipment (other than listed in Camellia Internet Application Form) may be necessary in order to complete installation of the Services. Any fees for such wiring and/or equipment will be billed to the Subscriber based on the prevailing hourly rate for Camellia Internet’s technicians and the cost of such equipment. Camellia Internet and its employees, agents, contractors and representatives shall have no liability whatsoever for any damage, loss or destruction occurring as a result of the installation of any inside wiring and/or equipment at Subscriber’s premises. Subscriber acknowledges that Services require a working telephone line and that Subscriber is solely responsible for the costs associated, directly or indirectly, with said line. Camellia Internet’s liability, if any, for failures in wiring and/or equipment, whether caused by the negligence of Camellia Internet, its employees, agents, contractors and/or representatives or otherwise, is expressly limited to a credit for the charges billed to Subscriber for installation of the Services. Subscriber is obligated to notify Camellia Internet immediately of any alleged failures in wiring and/or equipment installed by Camellia Internet for which a credit allowance is desired. Before giving such notice, Subscriber shall ascertain that the trouble is not being caused by any act or omission of Subscriber within Subscriber’s control, or is not in the wiring or equipment, furnished by Subscriber and connected to Camellia Internet’s facilities.
- Initial Term; Renewal Term. The initial Services term is one month, beginning on the date of the Subscriber’s execution of the Camellia Internet Application Form. Thereafter, Services provided pursuant to these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be provided automatically for successive periods of one month.
- Charges; Payment Terms. All invoices for Services are subject to payment in accordance with Camellia Internet’s prevailing schedule of prices, terms and conditions, without deduction or setoff of any kind. The recurring monthly fee is due and payable in advance of each monthly billing period for which the Subscriber has purchased Services in accordance with the terms of invoices to Subscriber. Monthly fees are non-refundable. The initial invoice will include the fee for initialization, and may include non-recurring installation charges including, but not limited to, charges for equipment and inside wiring. Payments received by Camellia Internet from Subscriber will first be applied to any unpaid interest charges and then chronologically applied to the oldest invoice. Any invoice not paid when due shall have added to the unpaid balance thereof, on a monthly basis, a late fee at one and one half percent per month (1.5%).
- Compliance. Subscriber agrees to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations in connection with its use of the Services. Subscriber agrees to adhere to Camellia Internet’s Acceptable Use Policy (see attached), as the same may be amended from time to time. A copy of such policy may be viewed at http://www.htcnet.net.
- No Resale of Services; Use of Services by Others. Services provided by Camellia Internet are for the sole use of the Subscriber and not for resale or license of any nature whatsoever without the prior written consent of Camellia Internet, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion. Subscriber is and shall be responsible for any misuse of Services, even if the inappropriate activity was committed by a friend, family member, guest, employee or any other person with access to the Subscriber’s account, regardless of whether the Subscriber authorized the use of the Services.
- Fixed Location Service. Subscriber acknowledges that this is a fixed-location service and may not be moved to a different residence (even if the phone number remains the same) or a different phone number without payment of the new connection fees. If Customer moves residences, Customer shall notify Camellia Internet.
- Termination; Default. Either party may terminate the Services effective upon written notice to the other party. Such termination will not relieve the party of any payment or indemnity obligations related to service prior to termination. Without limiting the forgoing, Camellia Internet, in addition to exercising any other rights under law, shall terminate all Services to Subscriber upon: (a) Subscriber’s breach or violation of any term or provision of these Terms and Conditions or Camellia Internet’s Acceptable Use Policy); (b) Subscriber’s use of the Service in such a way as to cause damage to or degradation of the Camellia Internet’s system; or (c) or in the event of the insolvency of Subscriber, appointment of a receiver or trustee for Subscriber, execution by Subscriber of an arrangement for the benefit of creditors or similar proceeding, or initiation by any party of any other proceeding involving Subscriber as debtor under Bankruptcy Code, as amended. Upon such termination, all amounts owed for prior Service will become immediately due and payable and all equipment belonging to Camellia Internet must be returned immediately. If Subscriber shall fail to do so, Camellia Internet shall have the right to collect from Subscriber an amount sufficient to reimburse Camellia Internet for the cost of the unreturned equipment. Following such Service termination, Camellia Internet may require payment of a reconnection fee and/or security deposit as a condition for reconnecting Service. Camellia Internet retains sole discretion as to whether to allow service to be reconnected after termination due to a breach or violation of the Standard Terms and Conditions or Acceptable Use Policy.
- Security. Subscriber is solely responsible for the security of any device Subscriber chooses to connect to the Services, including any data stored on that device. Subscriber expressly assumes any and all risks relating to the security of its communications, data and network and its potential access by others, including, but not limited to the transmission of any computer viruses or similar software which alters, disables or destroys, in whole or in part, the Subscriber’s hardware, communications, data and/or network.

4.3. Compliance with Laws and Policies. You agree to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations in connection with Your use of the Service. If you have purchased broadband services, You agree to adhere to Our Acceptable Use Policy and Fair Access Policies (see attached), as the same may be amended from time to time. A copy of such policies may be viewed at www.Hayneville Telephonecom.com/usage.htm and www.Hayneville Telephonecom.com/fair.htm, respectively.
4.4 Multiple Use of Account. Unless otherwise authorized by Us, you agree not to permit more than one high-speed Internet log-on session to be active at one time. A log-on session represents an active connection to your Internet access provider. The active session may be shared to connect multiple computers/devices within a single home or office location or within a single unit within a multiple dwelling unit (e.g., single apartment or office within an apartment or office complex) to your modem and/or router to access the Service (including the establishment of a “WiFi” hotspot), but the Service may only be used at (depending on the class of service ordered) the single home, office or commercial location (e.g., restaurant or coffee shop) or single unit within a multiple dwelling unit for which Service is provisioned by Us, unless otherwise authorized by Us. You may not use a WiFi hotspot in violation of this Agreement or in a way that circumvents our ability to provide Service to another customer (e.g., you cannot use a WiFi hotspot to provide Service outside your single home or commercial location or outside your single unit within a multiple dwelling unit and you cannot resell Service provided over a WiFi hotspot unless approved by Us in writing). You may not use more than one IP address for each log on session unless an advanced service allocating you more than one IP address has been purchased. Service may be used to host a server, personal or commercial, as long as such server is used pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to Service and not for any malicious purposes. You may not use the Service for resale or license of any nature whatsoever without Our prior consent which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion. You are responsible for: (1) all access to and use or misuse of the Service, even if the inappropriate activity was committed by a friend, family member, guest, customer, employee or any other person with access to your account or password(s), regardless of whether You authorized the use of the Services; (2) ensuring that all end users, including WiFi users, comply with all terms of Our Acceptable Use Policy. You are solely responsible for obtaining sufficient identification of users of your WiFi network. You are responsible for any fees incurred for the Service, or for software or other merchandise purchased through the Service, or any other expenses incurred in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement. Any use of the Service other than as specified above constitutes a material breach of this Agreement, regardless of whether you receive any compensation for such use, and may result in the immediate termination of the Service and the imposition of any Termination Fees, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to Us under this Agreement, at law and at equity.
4.5. Security. You are solely responsible for the security of any device You choose to connect to the Service, including any data stored on that device. You assume any and all risks relating to the security of Your communications, data and network and its potential access by others, including, but not limited to the transmission of any computer virus or similar software which alters, disables or destroys, in whole or in part, the hardware, communications, data and/or network. You acknowledge Your responsibility to take reasonable measures to protect the security of any equipment connected to the Service, including maintaining at Your cost an up-to-date version of anti-virus and/or firewall software to protect Your computers from malicious programs. We may suspend your Service until the problem is resolved in the event of a malicious program infecting your computer that causes a violation of Our Acceptable Use Policy. You will be fully liable for all monthly fees and other charges under this Agreement during any period of suspension.
4.6. E-Mail Privacy. Electronic mail passes through multiple mail servers on the Internet as it passes from source to destination and total privacy cannot be guaranteed. You agree that We may examine mail on Our own mail servers when allowed under law or as part of system maintenance or troubleshooting, for example, when investigating e-mail delivery problems or pursuant to a valid state or federal civil or investigative demand.
- Fees and Payment
5.1. Fees; Taxes; Charges; Payment Terms; Other Charges. Our bills are subject to payment in accordance with Our existing schedule of prices (“Our Price List”), subject to any pricing commitments contained in the Service Application, without deduction or setoff of any kind. Recurring monthly fees are due and payable in advance of each monthly billing period for which You have purchased Service. Monthly fees are non-refundable. The initial invoice may include the fee for installation, and may include other applicable non-recurring installation charges including, but not limited to, charges for Equipment and inside wiring.
(a) Statement. Should we offer electronic statements, you must choose to receive, either an electronic or paper bill for Services.
(b) Payment. You agree to remit a check, money order, credit card or debit card payment, or electronic funds transfer to the address We provide in your monthly statement, to any of our local business offices or to any electronic payment system We may utilize. We will first apply your payments first to any unpaid interest charges and then chronologically applied to the oldest invoice. If Your check, draft or similar instrument (collectively “check”) is returned unpaid by a bank or other financial institution to Us for any reason, we will bill you a bad check charge of twenty-five dollars ($25.00). In addition, You are responsible for replacing the returned check with a payment in cash or equivalent to cash, such as a cashier’s check, certified check or money order prior to the payment due date. In such case, the bill is not considered paid until We receive full payment in immediately available funds.
(c) Late Payment. Interest will accrue on any charges not paid when due at the lesser of one and one half percent per month (1.5%) or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If We do not receive payment by the due date We may suspend your Service or terminate this Agreement without notice. Such suspension or termination will not relieve You of your obligation for all billed and accrued charges, plus any Termination Fees. We reserve the right to correct and charge under-billed amounts for a period of ninety (90) days after the incorrect statement was issued.
5.2. Payment Authorization. If you arrange to participate in any electronic or draft payment system We may offer, We may charge Your credit card or debit card (a “Card Payment”) or initiate an electronic funds transfer out of Your bank account (“EFT Payment”) for payment of all Service fees, any Termination Fees or any other amounts payable under the Agreement. You must provide current, complete, and accurate information for Your billing account and promptly update any changes (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, credit card expiration date, bank account number). If We are unable to process and receive payment via Your credit or debit card, Your account may be immediately suspended or terminated, and You will remain responsible for all amounts owed Us under this Agreement. Your card issuer agreement governs use of Your credit or debit card payment in connection with the Service, your rights and liabilities as a cardholder, or for any charges related to your use of your charge over your credit limit or similar violations of your card issuer agreement.
5.3. Disputes and Partial Payments. We will make available to You a statement for each billing cycle showing payments, credit purchases and other charges. If You dispute the validity of a charge or need additional information regarding a charge, you must contact Us within forty (45) days of receiving the statement containing the charge. Such a dispute will not relieve you of your obligation to pay your full bill on time. We may, but are not required to, accept partial payments from You. If partial payments are accepted, they will be applied first to the oldest outstanding charges. If You send us checks or money orders marked “payment in full” or otherwise labeled with a similar restrictive endorsement, We may, but are not required to, accept them, without losing any of our rights to collect all amounts owed by You under this Agreement.
5.4. Reactivation. If Your Service is suspended or terminated due to Your default or violation of this Agreement, We may require before reactivating service: (a) an additional deposit or advance payment; (b) a reactivation fee; (c) all outstanding amounts owed for service rendered; and (d) if installation or new Equipment is required, appropriate installation or Equipment charges. Advance payments will appear on your statement as a credit, and service charges and other fees will be invoiced as described above. If You fail to pay any amount on a subsequent bill, the unpaid amount will be deducted each billing cycle from the credit amount. Such credit amounts shall not earn or accrue interest.
5.5. Credit Inquiries and Deposits. You authorize Us to make inquiries and to receive information about Your credit experience from others, including credit reporting agencies, enter this information in Your file and disclose this information concerning You to appropriate third parties for reasonable business purposes. If it is determined that you may be a credit risk based on (1) an unsatisfactory credit rating or lack of credit history; (2) a record of late payments for either present or past bills (including Our bills); or (3) prior fraudulent, illegal, or abusive use of any Our services; then as a condition of service we may require that you place a deposit with us or make an advance payment to secure payment for the Services we provide to you. Your deposit and/or advance payment will not exceed the amount of any non-recurring charges to initiate service, plus the estimated recurring monthly charges for one (1) month of Services billed in advance, plus the estimated usage charges for two (2) months of Services billed in arrears, such as long-distance service, plus any applicable equipment deposit. You will not receive interest on any advance payment, which will be applied to all subsequent bills until exhausted. You will receive interest on any deposit at the rate of seven percent (7%), which shall be added to and considered part of your deposit. If you fail to pay for the Services when due, we may, without providing you notice, apply the deposit to offset the amount you owe us. If you pay your bills by the due date for twelve (12) consecutive billing months, we will credit your account with the deposit. If there is a credit balance on your account after the deposit is applied, we will refund or credit that amount to you. Please allow up to four (4) weeks for the processing of a refunded deposit.
5.6 Credit Limits. Based on your payment history or your credit score obtained from credit reporting agencies, We may set a credit limit on your account at any time. If you exceed your credit limit, we may restrict your access to the Services we provide, such as direct-dialed and operator-assisted long-distance services and calls requiring a 900 or 976 prefix. In the case of telephone service, this restriction on your access to the Services will not affect your access to or use of 911 emergency services.
REVISING, CANCELLING OR SUSPENDING YOUR SERVICE

Upon the expiration of any such promotion or commitment, prices may be revised in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph; (3) All other price increases, or changes in non-pricing terms and conditions will be effective no sooner than thirty (30) days after we provide written notice to you. Such written notice under this paragraph may be provided in a bill insert, as a message printed in or on the Our bill, in a separate mailing, by email, or by any other reasonable method at Our discretion. If you do not accept the modified rates, charges, or terms and conditions of the Agreement, or the modified operation of the Service, you must terminate the Service and this Agreement in writing within thirty (30) days of the date of the notice. Use of the Service after the effective date of such changes or additions constitutes Your acceptance of such changes. YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY CHANGE MADE BY US IS THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY THIS DEADLINE.
6.2. Modification of the Service. We may discontinue, add to or revise any or all aspects of the Service in Our sole discretion and without notice, including access to support services, publications and any other products or services ancillary to the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, We reserve the right at Our sole discretion to modify, supplement, delete, discontinue or remove any software, file, publications, information, or other content provided to You by Us in connection with the Service. We may, but are not required, to notify You by e-mail, online via one of more of the websites within the Service or by other electronic notice at least fifteen (15) days before any material change in the Service if within Our control or as early as practical if caused by a third party. If You do not agree to such changes, then You must cancel Your subscription and stop using the Service prior to the effective date of such changes. Use of the Service after the effective date of such changes or additions constitutes Your acceptance of such changes. In addition, for Broadband customers We may take any action consistent with our Acceptable Use and Fair Access Policies, including actions to (a) prevent bulk e-mailing from entering or leaving any e-mail account or the network e-mail system, (b) delete e-mail messages if Your e-mail account has not been accessed by You within a time We may establish from time to time, (c) instruct Our system not to process e-mail or instant messages due to space limitations, (d) make available to third parties information relating to Us or our subscribers, subject to the provisions contained in Section 8 of this Agreement, (e) withdraw, change, suspend or discontinue any functionality or feature of the Service, (f) delete attachments to e-mail due to potentially harmful materials included within such attachment, and (g) limit access to the Service to prevent abusive consumption and ensure fair access for all subscribers.
6.3. Termination by You. You may you cancel your order before the first of the ordered Services is installed, without charge. Service will be considered installed when such service is activated and ready for use, regardless of whether you are actually using such Service or have connected it to any equipment inside your premises. If you cancel your order after installation, you will be responsible for all installation and connection charges, any billed or accrued, but unpaid, service charges through the date of cancellation (including for service paid in advance), any charges for damaged or unreturned Equipment and any Termination Fees. Any termination notice may be by telephone or in person during normal business hours or by email, and must be acknowledged in writing. Termination of service after installation shall be effective upon five (5) business days’ notice.
6.4. Termination or Suspension by Us. We may modify or terminate service as provided in Section 6.2. In addition to exercising any other rights under law, We may also terminate all Service upon: (a) Your breach or violation of any term or provision of the Agreement (including, if applicable, the Acceptable Use Policy and/or Fair Access Policy); (b) Your use of the Service in such a way as to cause damage to or degradation of Our Equipment or system; or (c) Your insolvency, appointment of a receiver or trustee for You, Your execution of an arrangement for the benefit of creditors or similar proceeding, or initiation by any party of any other proceeding involving You as debtor under Bankruptcy Code.
6.5. Post-Termination or Suspension Obligations. Except as provided herein, should your Service, or any portion, be terminated or suspended, all amounts owed for prior Service will become immediately due and payable, in addition to any Termination Fees, and all of Our Equipment relating to such Service must be returned immediately. You acknowledge that the Equipment has an actual value greater than its purchase price because it is a means to receive programming not otherwise available to non-subscribers, and upon termination you agree to pay us $50.00 for each modem not returned to Us and $25.00 for each surge protector not returned to Us. Charges for the non-return of other equipment shall be based on a schedule maintained by the Company. Should you fail to return the Equipment, We may automatically add charges for payment of the Equipment and draft the credit card or checking account that You have left on file with Us for payment. The failure to return any Equipment at the termination of the Service for which the Equipment was required will also result in Us withholding any deposit still in our possession, and the amount of that deposit will be credited towards the purchase price of the Equipment as those prices are set forth above. We retain sole discretion as to whether to allow Service to be reconnected after termination due to a breach or violation of the Agreement. You will remain responsible for all payment and other obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to pay any Termination Fees and other charges that may be due as a result of or in connection with such cancellation, termination or suspension. You will not, however, be responsible for any Termination Fees in the event of cancellation by Us under Section 6.2 unrelated to a breach or cancellation of this Agreement on your part or Your Termination under Section 6.1 or 6.2 due to a price or term modification that has the effect of increasing the cost of our service to you (other than a tax increase) or materially changing the Service , although you will remain liable for all other accrued, but unbilled charges through the termination date (including any charges paid in advance).Your payment and other obligations under this Agreement are not suspended or affected by a suspension of access to or use of the Service, in whole or in part, due to a violation (actual, threatened, or alleged) of this Agreement or of any law or legal obligation by You or any user of your account. You agree to pay the reasonable costs of any action We take to collect amounts not paid when due under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the costs of a collection agency, reasonable attorney’s fees, and court costs.
