Cable Television Subscriber Agreement Terms and Conditions  

The following terms and conditions constitute the Agreement between Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc. d/b/a NuVisions Television (“NuVisions”) and Subscriber regarding the provision of NuVisions' cable television services:

  1. Payment of Charges: Subscriber will be billed monthly in advance for services to be received, plus pro-rata charges, if any, for periods not previously billed. Subscriber will be billed monthly for Pay Per View, On Demand or other services ordered where charges are based on actual usage or on orders placed during the previous month. Payment is due upon receipt. Failure to pay charges invoiced within 30 days of the invoice date may result in discontinuance of service, the removal of all equipment delivered and/or the imposition of a late payment or service charge. Late charges can be avoided by prompt payment of the Subscriber invoice. An additional charge may be imposed if a check is not honored due to insufficient funds. In the event collection activities are required, an additional collection charge and/or attorney's fees may be imposed. Subscriber must notify NuVisions of disputed items within 30 days of the invoice date, or such greater amount of time as required by law.
  2. Rates: All rates are subject to change from time to time.
  3. NuVisions Property: All equipment, including but not limited to, any cables, wires, amplifiers, any decoder or cable box, access card, remotes, and keyboards distributed to and/or installed for use in the Subscriber's home by or on behalf of NuVisions ("Equipment") remains the property of NuVisions. None of the Equipment shall become a fixture. Subscriber must return all Equipment upon substitution of use or termination of service. Failure to do so will result in a charge to be determined with reference to NuVisions' then current schedule, which amount shall be due immediately. Subscriber agrees to pay such charge whether such Equipment is lost (through theft or otherwise) or destroyed. Subscriber is subject to a $50 charge in the event NuVisions must retrieve its Equipment.
  4. Equipment Installation: NuVisions' standard installation includes installation at the Subscriber's premises of a decoder(s) and necessary fittings and connections. NuVisions may charge in excess of its standard installation fee for installations requiring more than twenty five feet of coaxial cable; fishing of walls; or more than one hour of installation time.
  5. Disruption of Service: In no event shall NuVisions be liable for any failure or interruption of program transmissions or service resulting in part or entirely from circumstances beyond NuVisions' reasonable control. Subject to applicable law, credit will be given for qualifying outages. In any event, if there is a known program or service interruption in excess of 24 consecutive hours (or in excess of such lesser time period pursuant to state law), NuVisions, upon prompt notification of such failure or interruption from Subscriber, will either provide Subscriber with a pro-rata credit relating to such failure or interruption or, at its discretion, in lieu of the credit provide alternative programming during any program interruption. NuVisions shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages.
  6. Repair of NuVisions Equipment: NuVisions will repair and/or replace defective equipment (excluding the replacement of batteries) as long as such damage was not caused by misuse or other improper operations or handling by Subscriber. NuVisions is not responsible for the maintenance or repair of Subscriber provided equipment, including but not limited to television sets, VCRs or other video equipment, remote controls, keyboards, stereos or other audio equipment, telephones or A/B switches. A service charge may be imposed if damage to NuVisions Equipment is due to negligent use or abuse or if no fault is discovered in NuVisions' system or Equipment.

NuVisions makes no warranties, with respect to equipment or service provided by NuVisions or with respect to the Equipment's compatibility with any Subscriber owned equipment.

Any alteration, tampering, removal, etc. or the use of equipment which permits the receipt of services without authorization or the receipt of services to an unauthorized number of outlets, or to unauthorized locations constitutes theft of service and is prohibited.
  12. Access to Subscriber Premises: Subscriber agrees to provide NuVisions' representatives with access at reasonable times to Subscriber's premises to install, inspect, maintain and/or repair the Equipment supplied by NuVisions and, upon the termination of service, to remove the same from the premises.

  13. Assignment or Transfer: This Agreement and the equipment supplied by NuVisions are not assignable or otherwise transferable by Subscriber.
  14. Termination for Bankruptcy: NuVisions may terminate its service immediately in the event that Subscriber makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a voluntary or involuntary petition is filed by or against Subscriber under any law having for its purpose the adjudication of Subscriber as a bankrupt or the reorganization of Subscriber.
  15. Termination by NuVisions . NuVisions may terminate this Agreement immediately should Subscriber violate any of the terms of this Agreement. NuVisions may also terminate the Service for any other reason at any time by providing Subscriber with written notice of such termination no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date of termination.

  21. Parental Control: A Parental Control feature is available for you if you want to keep children from watching certain programming. You can place channels under Parental Control by blocking out channel number, and/or by program rating. Please check the manual provided with your service for instructions on how to implement and monitor the Parental Control features. Should you deactivate the Parental Control feature on the traditional cable box, even for one channel or event, this will deactivate the Parental Control feature for all other channels that were previously locked out. You will then have to reactivate the Parental Control to again block out the desired channels. It is recommended that you occasionally verify that your Parental Control feature is activated and operational.
  22. Limitation of Liability: Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, NuVisions will not be liable to the Subscriber or to any third party for:
