By continuing to use the CBCC Service after revisions are effective, you accept and agree to abide by them.

Scope of Services

For so long as you subscribe to the CBCC Service, when you notify us of a Cox Service problem, Cox will identify whether the problem may be resolved by providing technology assistance via remote access.

In the event Cox determines that the problem may be resolved by providing technology assistance, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to answer your technology questions and resolve your technology problems via remote access to your computer, and/or via telephone, online chat or other means of communication offered by us.

The CBCC Service is sold on a monthly recurring subscription basis. Alternatively, Cox may offer the CBCC Service on a one-time incident basis at an amount determined by Cox. The Services may be subject to additional requirements, limitations, and restrictions depending on the level of service. Except where expressly stated, the Services are intended for, and limited to cover Customer’s business only.

As part of the CBCC Service, you may obtain CBCC Service for Customer’s business devices. Cox reserves the right to limit the maximum number of devices and/or supported business employees at its sole discretion. You will be required to designate the computers and business employees to be covered by the CBCC Service by providing such identifying information as Cox may request. You may only use the CBCC Service for the designated computers and business employees.

We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to provide the Services to you for any reason including, without limitation, if your technical needs are beyond the scope of the intended Services. The Services may not be available due to system maintenance, Internet service disruptions, availability of personnel, natural disasters or other factors outside our control. The Services do not support all possible computers, operating systems, software, hardware, peripheral devices, applications or features, and are subject to minimum system specifications, requirements and other limitations. Other than as set forth in the warranty section below, you agree that Cox has no responsibility or liability under any circumstance at any time for any loss or harm that may arise from or be related to the CBCC Service.

Modifications to the Services

Subject to this Agreement and applicable law, we reserve the right, for any reason, in our sole discretion and without notice to you, to modify, change, suspend or discontinue any and all aspects of the CBCC Service, including supported software, features and/or hours of availability.

THE SERVICES DO NOT INCLUDE DATA BACKUP OR RESTORATION SERVICES. COX MAY, BUT HAS NO OBLIGATION TO, SUPPORT YOU IN THE BACKUP PROCESS REMOTELY IF REQUESTED AND TO THE EXTENT SOLELY DETERMINED BY COX. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING AND BACKING UP ALL INFORMATION, DATA, TEXT OR OTHER MATERIALS (COLLECTIVELY "CUSTOMER DATA") AND SOFTWARE STORED ON YOUR COMPUTER AND STORAGE MEDIA BEFORE ORDERING OR USING THE CBCC SERVICE.

Use of Software and Tools

We may need to download and run software on your computer to help diagnose and resolve your technology problem (the "Software"). We use several types of Software: the first type provides computer system information to us which helps us diagnose and resolve your technology problem, the second type allows us to remotely control your computer and modify its settings or software, and the third type generally consists of utilities and other tools to improve computer performance and provide updates.

You must cooperate with us and promptly respond to our requests for information and comply with our requests to take actions to resolve your technology problem. To help resolve your technology issue, you may be required to consent to the downloading and use of Software on your computer and accept all applicable license agreements for the Software. Cox may terminate this Agreement if you do not agree to installation of the Software on your computer; or if you alter, modify or disable the Software, or its settings or configurations.

You acknowledge and agree that use of all Software and tools accessed, downloaded or otherwise provided or made available with the CBCC Service are subject to the license agreements that may appear or be referenced when you access or download the Software, and that you may not access, download or use any Software without agreeing to the terms and conditions of the license agreements without modification. You may use the Software only in connection with the Services and for no other purpose. You are not granted any title or rights of ownership in the Software. You shall not copy, modify, distribute or otherwise transfer the Software or permit others to access or use the Software. You shall not decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to discover any source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of the Software, or otherwise reduce the Software to a human readable form. You agree that we may, but are not obligated to, remove any Software downloaded to your computer during the Services after we have completed or terminated the Services.

Term, Fees and Payment

The “Initial Term” for CBCC Services ordered on a monthly recurring basis is three (3) months. After the Initial Term, the CBCC Service shall renew automatically month-to-month (“Renewal Term”). “Term” shall mean the Initial Term and Renewal Term(s), if any. Customer shall pay all applicable charges associated with the CBCC Service, including recurring service charges, any one-time incident fees, and applicable federal, state, and local taxes and fees (however designated). The applicable monthly fee for the CBCC Service will be provided to you during the ordering process and may also be set forth at the CBCC Services website. Additional and other charges may be provided at other times. Charges for the Services will be billed directly to your monthly bill (if you are an existing Cox customer)

You will generally be billed monthly, in advance, for recurring service charges and fees. Your first bill may include pro-rated charges from the date you first begin receiving your Services, as well as monthly recurring charges for the next month. The CBCC Service will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis at the then-current rate for such CBCC Service until you notify us to cancel your CBCC Service by contacting 866-864-1772. If you cancel prior to the completion of the Initial Term, Customer shall pay for all charges associated with the CBCC Service for the remainder of the Initial Term, including partial months. If you cancel in the middle of a month after the Initial Term, we will refund a pro-rata portion of any fees that you have prepaid.

Subject to applicable law, if you intend to dispute a charge or request a billing credit, you must contact Cox within sixty (60) days of the date on the bill. You waive any disputes or credits that you do not report within sixty (60) days.

Restrictions

Your use of the CBCC Service is only for your business use on your technology, and not for any other use, including personal devices. The CBCC Service shall not be used for resale or transfer to others. You may not sell, lease or rent access to or use of the CBCC Service. You may not allow manufacturers, suppliers or vendors of your technology or providers of services relating to such technology, to access or use the CBCC Service.

To receive the CBCC Service, you must at all times have current and functional antivirus software in place and running on all your supported computers. If you do not have such antivirus software, you may separately install antivirus service from Cox beforehand or when you first sign up for CBCC Service. You may also purchase antivirus software from a third party, however, you will be responsible for installing and running the software prior to initiating the CBCC Service, unless you separately request that Cox install such software for you (applicable fees may apply). If we determine that your third-party antivirus software does not meet our minimum requirements, we may require that you purchase new antivirus software prior to continuing your Services.

Termination

You may terminate this Agreement at any time upon at least thirty (30) days written notice by calling Cox Business Complete Care at 866-864-1772 or other number provided by Cox, subject to any early termination fees described herein. Cox may terminate the CBCC Service at any time by providing notice to you.

In addition to any applicable early termination fees, you will be responsible for paying for the CBCC Service received and all other charges and fees that you incur prior to your cancellation of the CBCC Service.

We reserve the right to cease providing the CBCC Service for any reason at any time and instead, as your sole and exclusive remedy, refund the fees paid for the CBCC Service for the time period for which you have pre-paid, if any, after termination of the CBCC Service. If you breach the terms of these CBCC Terms or the Agreement, no refund will be provided. Other than providing a prorated refund of any prepaid fees when we terminate for our convenience, we will not be liable to you or any third-party for termination of the CBCC Service for any reason.

You acknowledge and agree that upon termination we may immediately deactivate or delete your user account and all related information and files in your user account and/or bar any further access to the CBCC Service. Fees for CBCC Service will be pro-rated based upon the date of termination, provided termination is after the Initial Term. You understand and agree that your right to possess or use Software provided as part of the Services will terminate and such Software may cease to operate, update or function properly after termination of the CBCC Service.

Limited Warranty

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to troubleshoot, analyze, assess, correct or otherwise resolve your computer or network problems.

This limited warranty does not create an obligation for us to correct problems caused by defective products or any modifications of the completed installation set-up (example: movement or set-up or addition of more components by anyone not deployed by Cox or to assist you in the additional calibration of installation settings beyond initial set-up). No warranty is made hereunder for the hardware, software, or consumer electronic products associated with the CBCC Service. Furthermore, no warranty is made for any repeat occurrence caused by you of a virus or spyware infection that was previously removed in connection with the CBCC Service. Products shall be covered by the terms of any manufacturers' warranties or extended service plans ("Third Party Plans and Warranties") purchased by you and not by Cox. You agree to make any claims that you have related to your product warranty and any warranty period only to the providers of Third Party Plans and Warranties. No other warranties, expressed or implied, are made hereunder relating to the CBCC Service.

As set forth below, there are no other warranties for the CBCC Service.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE TIMELY, SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE, OR SUCCESSFUL IN RESOLVING YOUR QUESTION OR COMPUTER PROBLEM OR ANY OTHER REQUEST. NO ADVICE OR MATERIALS OBTAINED BY YOU FROM USE OF THE CBCC SERVICE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY OR OBLIGATION. ANY CONTENT OR SOFTWARE THAT YOU ACCESS, DOWNLOAD OR USE WITH THE CBCC SERVICE IS DONE AT YOUR SOLE DISCRETION AND RISK AND YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT RESULTS FROM SUCH ACTIVITIES.
