In this Agreement, “you” and “your” mean the “Customer” who subscribes to and receives the Services. “Cox,” “we,” “our,” and “us” means the Cox entity that is providing you with the Services. "Services" means Cox’s pay as you go residential Internet access service known as “StraightUp Internet^SM” (which will not include access to StraightUp Internet Hotspot Pass^SM) , and Cox’s pay as you go out-of-home wireless or “wifi” Internet access service known as “StraightUp Internet Hotspot Pass^SM , which does not include access to StraightUp Internet Internet^SM residential internet service. Certain locations ("Facilities") may offer you free use of StraightUp Internet Hotspot Pass^SM ("Facility-based WiFi"). Your use of Facility-based WiFi is subject to this Agreement and any other terms and conditions made available by the Facilities ("Facility Policies"). Cox is not responsible for the Facility Policies or the actions or inactions of any Facility. You should read the Facility Policies before using Facility-based WiFi.

The Services defined in this Agreement do not include any other services provided by Cox or its affiliates (for example, Cox HomelifeSM security, phone, television, video, automation and other services) or services provided by Cox to commercial customers, which may be governed by one or more separate agreements. Subject to Section 15(g), this Agreement shall remain in effect at all times you are subscribed to and/or receive the Services, to include any changes you or Cox make to the Services you receive or to the Cox Supplied Equipment (as defined in Section 5(b)(1)), Customer Equipment (as defined in Section 5(c)(1)) or other equipment you use.

You will be bound by the terms and conditions in this Agreement with respect to your use of the Services.

The updated version of this Agreement on the Cox Website will supersede any prior version of this Agreement. Your continued use of the Services will constitute your Acceptance of this Agreement as modified.

f. Copy of Agreement or Rates:
A copy of this Agreement and the rates for the Services may be obtained by visiting the Cox Website.

g. Your Subscription
You represent to Cox that you are at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your state. Your Acceptance of this Agreement entitles you to use the Services. Your use of the Services is personal to you. If you permit other persons to use the Services, you agree that you are solely responsible and liable for any and all breaches of this Agreement, whether such breach results from your use or use by another person using the Services provided to you, Cox Supplied Equipment, or Licensed Software (as defined in Section 8(a)). You are responsible for contacting the Cox customer service number listed on your order confirmation or on the Cox Website immediately upon the occurrence of any change in the status of your account, such as, without limitation, a change in individuals authorized to use your account, any changes to your contact information such as name, email address, wireline or wireless telephone number, or if you move. You agree to keep your contact information, including email address or contact telephone number, up to date and current.

h. Consent to Contact You
In order to contact you more efficiently, Cox and our affiliates may at times contact you using autodialer technology, prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, or text messages at the telephone number(s) you have provided us. You agree that we, our affiliates and our service providers or agents may place such calls or texts to communicate with you about your account, service(s) and equipment, and service agreements, including (but not limited to): (i) providing notices related thereto, (ii) resolving technical or billing issues, (iii) informing of installation or other service appointments, (iv) data usage, and/or (v) investigating or preventing fraud (“Informational Communications”).

Applicable standard telephone minute, data and/or text charges may apply. We and our service providers or agents, however, will not use autodialer technology or texts to contact you for marketing purposes at the wireless telephone number(s) you designate nor send you prerecorded or artificial voice message marketing calls at the wireless or landline telephone number(s) you designate unless we receive your prior express written consent as required under Applicable Law. Prior express written consent is not required in order to obtain or use Cox’s products and services or to receive Informational Communications from Cox.

a. Charges, Taxes and Fees:
 

1. Charges:
   You agree to pay the applicable rates and charges for the Services and agree Cox may change the rates for the Services from time to time. Cox will post rate increases in advance of such rate increases becoming effective on the StraightUp InternetSM and StraightUp Internet Hotspot PassSM webpage(s) of the Cox Website. If you received Services under a promotion, after the promotional period ends, the then-current regular retail rate for the Services will apply. The retail rates for the Services may be found on the Cox Website, by calling your local Cox office, or visiting your local Cox Solutions Store^®.
   
   
2. Governmental Surcharges, Taxes and Fees:
   You must pay all federal, state and local taxes, franchise fees, surcharges and any other fees or payment obligations imposed by government or quasigovernmental bodies however described, levied or assessed which are applicable to the Services or Cox Supplied Equipment we provide you. Unless required by Applicable Law, we may elect not to provide notice of a change in such fees, surcharges or taxes. You will be responsible for paying any government-imposed surcharges or fees that become applicable retroactively.
   
   
3. Other Cox or Third Party Surcharges and Fees:
   You must pay all other Cox imposed surcharges and fees we may assess in connection with the Services or the Cox Supplied Equipment (collectively “Surcharges”). These Surcharges may include, but are not limited to, network interface fees and network access charges; and any other regulatory and administrative costs we incur to provide the Services and comply with governmental programs. These Surcharges are not government-mandated fees or taxes but are charges that are either allowed to be passed through by governmental agencies or are imposed by Cox in order to facilitate the provision of the Services or the Cox Supplied Equipment. A description of some or all of these Surcharges may be found on the Cox Website under Billing and Account Support. Certain Surcharges may occur or fluctuate according to amounts or limits set by the government that Cox may pass through to you. Cox may not always provide advance notice if those changes cause adjustments in the amount of the Surcharges charged to you.
   
   
4. Third-Party Charges That Are Your Responsibility:
   You acknowledge that you may incur charges with third-party providers such as for accessing online services and purchasing or subscribing to other offerings via the Internet. You are solely responsible for all such charges payable to third parties, including all applicable taxes, fees or surcharges. In addition, you are solely responsible for protecting the security of credit card, debit card, or other financial information, or other personal information provided to others in connection with such transactions.

b. Payments and Billing:
 

1. Authorized Payment Methods:
   All payments must be made in U.S. currency only and via Cox-authorized payment methods. Cox-authorized payment methods (“Payment Methods”) for StraightUp Internet^SM Services include: (i) delivering cash or money order payable to Cox, or paying by credit or debit card at a Cox Solutions Store^®; (ii) providing a credit or debit card payment to a Cox customer service representative or Cox authorized automated payment system over the telephone; or (iii) paying by credit or debit card through the Cox Website. Cox-authorized Payment Methods for StraightUp Internet Hotspot Pass^SM Services are limited to paying by credit or debit card through the Cox Website. If you use a credit or debit card to pay for any charges, taxes, fees or Surcharges, you acknowledge that use of the card is governed by the card issuer agreement, and you must refer to that agreement for your rights and liabilities as a cardholder.
   
   
2. Billing:
   (i)        StraightUp Internet^SM Services are provided to you on a month-to-month subscription basis for service periods of one contract month each (each, a “Service Period”), with the first such Service Period beginning on the date the StraightUp Internet^SM Services are activated. By way of example, if a Service Period begins on January 4th, then such Service Period will end one month later on February 3rd. The recurring charges and taxes for each Service Period are due in advance once the StraightUp Internet^SM Services are initiated. You must pay for each Service Period in advance of the expiration of the then current Service Period to avoid interruption of the Services. The StraightUp Internet^SM Services are not prorated and are charged for a full Service Period. Cox will determine and may change the billing format from time to time. If the StraightUp Internet^SM Services are interrupted as contemplated herein, additional fees may be associated with reactivation or reinstallation before the StraightUp Internet^SM Services may be reconnected or restored.
   (ii)        StraightUp Internet Hotspot Pass^SM Services are available for use on a pay per use basis, subject to the payment and billing terms in this Agreement and presented at registration. Paid use is provided on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis or such other basis as provided by Cox (each, an “Access Term”), with charges and taxes paid in advance. The Access Term begins on the date the StraightUp Internet Hotspot Pass^SM Services are activated. The charges and taxes for each Access Term are due in advance once the StraightUp Internet Hotspot Pass^SM Services are initiated. The StraightUp Internet Hotspot Pass^SM Services are not prorated and are charged for a full Access Term. Cox will determine and may change the billing format from time to time.
   
   
3. Recurring Billing and Automatic Payments:
   By designating a credit card or debit card as your Payment Method for StraightUp Internet Services, you authorize Cox to initiate recurring charges from such designated Payment Method for each Service Period unless and until you terminate your authorization by providing notice to Cox as set forth in Section 15(e) or your Services are terminated. You acknowledge that the amount billed for each Service Period may vary as set forth in Section 2(a) above and you authorize Cox to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts, which may be billed in one or more charges. Additionally, by providing a credit card or debit card as your Payment Method, you represent and warrant that you have the right and are authorized to use such Payment Method to pay fees and that the billing and related information that you provide is accurate and truthful. You must make all changes to your Payment Method information by providing notice to Cox as set forth in Section 15(e). If you do not update your Payment Method information and Cox is unable to charge the Payment Method for a Service Period, or if a payment is not successful or is otherwise returned, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, Cox may suspend, interrupt or terminate the Services in Cox’s sole discretion. Additionally, if your payment is not successful, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, Cox may charge you the amount of the payment plus any applicable returned payment fees equal to the greater of $25.00 or the maximum amount allowed by law or regulation. When payment is made by credit or debit card, the payment may also be subject to the terms and conditions required by the card issuer.
   
   
4. No Refunds or Proration:
   PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND COX WILL NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS OR PRORATE FEES FOR PARTIAL SERVICE PERIODS OR ACCESS TERMS, AS APPLICABLE. However, in the event you terminate the Services, you will continue to have access to the Services through the end of your current Service Period or Access Term, as applicable.
   
   
5. Stored Payment Methods:
   If you provide Cox with any account information, such as your credit or debit card details, we and our vendors may store that information and use it to administer your account, confirm charges, detect and prevent fraud, verify your identity, process payments to your account that you request in the future by telephone, mobile app, internet, or otherwise, and comply with applicable data security protocols, including but not limited to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Additionally, Cox may, without prior notice to you, use your stored account information to initiate credit or debit entries to your account as necessary to correct any mistakes or amendments in billing, payments, or collection.

a. YOU AND COX AGREE TO ARBITRATE — RATHER THAN LITIGATE IN COURT — any and all claims, disputes, or controversies between you and Cox, including any parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents of Cox, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, or any other intentional tort) or other legal or equitable theory (“Dispute”) that arise out of or in any way relate to this Agreement, any of the Services provided under this Agreement or any other services or products that Cox provides to you in connection with this Agreement (including but not limited to amounts that Cox charges you for Services or products provided, any alleged breach related to the collection, retention or disclosure of your personal information, and any alleged violation of our Annual Privacy Notice). You and Cox also agree to arbitrate any and all Disputes that arise out of or relate in any way to any services or products provided to you by Cox or any of its affiliated entities under any other agreement. Notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, you and Cox may bring appropriate Disputes against each other in small claims court, if the Dispute falls within the small claims court's jurisdiction, or before the Federal Communications Commission, the relevant state public utilities commission, or any other federal, state, or local government agency authorized by law to hear the Dispute.

b. Opt Out:
You may opt out of this dispute resolution provision (except for the jury trial waiver contained in Section 3(g) below) by notifying Cox of that intent during the Opt-Out Period by sending an email to Cox at ArbitrationOptOut@cox.com or a letter via U.S. mail to Cox Legal Department, Attn: Litigation Counsel, 6205B Peachtree Dunwoody Road, Atlanta, GA 30328 stating that you are opting out of this dispute resolution provision. Exercising this right, should you choose to do so, will not affect any of the other terms of this Agreement with Cox, and you may remain a Cox customer. If you opt out of the dispute resolution provision, that opt out will remain in effect if Cox modifies this section in the future or you agree to a new term of service under this Agreement. If you enter into a new agreement with Cox that includes a dispute resolution provision and you want to opt out of that provision, you will need to follow the instructions in that agreement for opting out.

c. Class Action Waiver:
You and Cox agree that all Disputes between you and Cox will be arbitrated individually, and that there will be no class, representative, or consolidated actions in arbitration. If you or Cox brings a claim in small claims court, the class action waiver will apply, and neither of us can bring a claim on a class or representative basis. Furthermore, neither you nor Cox may participate in a class or representative action as a class member if the class action asserts Disputes that would fall within the scope of this arbitration agreement if they were directly asserted by you or Cox. We both agree that this class action waiver is an essential part of our arbitration agreement and that if this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable by any court or arbitrator then the entire arbitration agreement set forth in this Section 3 will not apply to any Dispute between you and Cox, except for the provisions of Section 3(g) waiving the right to jury trial. This class action waiver may not be severed from our arbitration agreement.

d. Arbitrator Authority:
The arbitration between you and Cox will be binding. In arbitration, there is no judge and no jury. Instead, our disputes will be resolved by an arbitrator, whose authority is governed by the terms of this Agreement. You and Cox agree that an arbitrator may only award such relief as a court of competent jurisdiction could award, limited to the same extent as a court would limit relief pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. An arbitrator may award attorneys' fees and costs if a court would be authorized to do so, and may issue injunctive or declaratory relief if that relief is required or authorized by the Applicable Law, but that injunctive or declaratory relief may not extend beyond you and your dealings with Cox. Review of arbitration decisions in the courts is very limited.

e. Informal Dispute Resolution:
You and Cox agree that you will try to resolve disputes informally before resorting to arbitration. If you have a dispute, first call Cox Customer Care at the number listed on your order confirmation. If the Cox representative is unable to resolve your dispute in a timely manner, you agree to then notify Cox of the dispute by sending a written description of your claim to Cox Customer Care, ATTN: Corporate Escalation Team, 6205B Peachtree Dunwoody Road, Atlanta, GA 30328 so that Cox can attempt to resolve it with you. If Cox does not satisfactorily resolve your claim within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving written notice to Cox Customer Care of your claim, then you may pursue the claim in arbitration. Neither you nor Cox may initiate arbitration without first following the informal dispute resolution procedure provided in this paragraph and thereafter, if the dispute is still not resolved, the party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other written notice of the intent to file for arbitration. If you are sending a written notice of your intent to file for arbitration to Cox, please send such notice via U.S. mail to Cox Legal Department, Attn: Litigation Counsel, 6205B Peachtree Dunwoody Road, Atlanta, GA 30328. If Cox is sending you a written notice of our intent to file for arbitration, we will send it to the last known address of record we have on file for you.

f. Arbitration Procedures:
You and Cox agree that this Agreement and the services Cox provides to you affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act and not state arbitration laws applies for all Disputes. All arbitrations shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The AAA's rules are available on its website at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If the claim asserted in arbitration is for less than $75,000, the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply. If the claim asserted is for $75,000 or more, the Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. If there is a conflict between the AAA's rules and this dispute resolution agreement, this dispute resolution agreement shall control. To initiate arbitration, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claims to Cox at ArbitrationOptOut@cox.com or via U.S. mail to Cox Legal Department, Attn: Litigation Counsel, 6205B Peachtree Dunwoody Road, Atlanta, GA 30328. You must also comply with the AAA's rules regarding initiation of arbitration. Cox will pay all filing fees and costs for commencement of arbitration, but you will be responsible for your own attorneys' fees and costs unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or Applicable Law. Cox will not seek to recover its fees and costs from you in the arbitration, even if allowed under the law, unless your claim has been determined to be frivolous. If you are successful in the arbitration, Cox will pay your reasonable attorney's fees and costs. If you obtain an award from the arbitrator greater than Cox's last written settlement offer, Cox will pay you $5,000 in addition to what you have been awarded in the arbitration. The arbitration will be held in the county of the billing address where Cox provided you service and either party may appear either in person or by telephone.

g. Jury Trial Waiver:
If for any reason this arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, or if you opt out of this dispute resolution agreement, you and Cox expressly and knowingly WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. This means that a judge rather than a jury will decide disputes between you and Cox if, for any reason, the arbitration agreement is not enforced.

h. Survival:
This dispute resolution provision survives the termination of your Services with Cox. If you bring a claim against Cox after termination of your Services that is based in whole or in part on events or omissions that occurred while you were a Cox customer, this dispute resolution provision shall apply.

a. Access to Premises:
You agree in connection with your use of the StraightUp Internet Services to allow Cox and/or our agents to enter the property at which the StraightUp Internet Services and/or Cox Supplied Equipment will be provided to you (the “Premises”), upon your request, to install, configure, upgrade, maintain, inspect, change, repair and/or remove the StraightUp Internet Services, Cox Supplied Equipment and/or Customer Equipment. You warrant that you are either the owner of the Premises or, if you are not the owner of the Premises that you have obtained the consent of the owner for Cox or its agents to access the Premises for the purposes described. In addition, you agree to supply us or our agent, if we ask, the owner’s name, address and telephone number and/or evidence that the owner has authorized you to grant access to us and our agents to the Premises. If installation of StraightUp Internet Services or Cox Supplied Equipment by Cox at your Premises is required, Cox will schedule one or more installation and/or service appointments with you as needed and you agree to be present or to have a responsible representative, 18 years or older, present at the Premises during such appointments.

b. Support; Charges for Visits:
You will be responsible for payment of any charges assessed by Cox for visits to your Premises to install, maintain, inspect, repair or remove the StraightUp Internet Services, or any Cox Supplied Equipment or Customer Equipment, including, without limitation, in response to any difficulty caused, in whole or in part, by Customer Equipment, or other equipment, services or facilities not provided by Cox, for service calls at times other than normal business hours, and for any non-routine installation or maintenance. Without limiting the foregoing, Cox may provide routine service calls or routine installation support during normal business hours which may be subject to an additional charge. Charges for visits to your Premises can be found on the Cox Website or by calling Cox Customer Care at the number located on your order confirmation. You acknowledge and agree that in the event Cox provides service calls or installation support, Cox’s personnel and/or its agents may open or access your computer/device. You further acknowledge and agree that such access may result in the modification of your computer’s or other device’s system’s files. Additionally, Cox may periodically update the software/firmware in your modem or gateway in order to provide the Services. Cox does not represent, warrant, or covenant that such modifications and updates will not disrupt the normal operations of your computer or device. Cox’s liability for any damage resulting from such installation, use of the Licensed Software and/or file modifications or updates is limited as described in Section 13 of the Agreement. Unless Cox offers and you subscribe to service and support for in-home networks you agree that Cox has no responsibility to provide such service.

c. Safe Working Environment:
You agree to provide Cox's employees and representatives with a safe working environment while on the Premises. If a Cox employee or representative deems the working environment unsafe in his/her sole discretion, you agree that Cox may elect not to provide any services, including without limitation installation, repair, maintenance, support or training services, on the Premises until such Premises are deemed safe by Cox.

a. Taking Proper Precautions
 

1. StraightUp Internet^SM Service:
   As part of your StraightUp Internet^SM Service, Cox may provide you a modem or gateway or you may purchase a DOCSIS 3, 3.1 or higher, Cox-certified modem or gateway from a third-party provider. Cox’s current Technical Requirements (as defined in Section 5(c)(2) below) for your computer or other device, if applicable, and Cox Internet level of service, if applicable, are available on the Cox Website and you are strongly urged to check with your local Cox Customer Support or online on the Cox Website for the most current Cox certified device list. Cox reserves the right to provide StraightUp Internet^SM Services only to users with Cox-certified DOCSIS-compliant devices. If at any time your modem or gateway no longer meets Cox’s Technical Requirements you may be required to replace your device at your cost. If Cox requests that you replace or offers to replace your equipment in order to provide you with better StraightUp Internet Internet^SM Services or stronger security, and you do not do so, Cox is not responsible for any resulting loss or degradation of StraightUp Internet^SM Services or security-related loss or exposure. Certain types of DOCSIS equipment may be required to achieve advertised Internet speeds. You agree that you will not connect any unauthorized equipment to the modem or gateway outlet. Failure to comply with this restriction may cause damage to the Cox network and subject you to liability.
   
   
2. StraightUp Internet Hotspot Pass^SM:
   In order to use the StraightUp Internet Hotspot Pass^SM Service, you must have a wireless-enabled device (compliant with the IEEE 802.11g or n standards and any additional or subsequent standards set forth in this Agreement and subject to change from time to time) with a compatible web browser or its equivalent for Internet connectivity and any other equipment or software necessary to connect to the StraightUp Internet Hotspot Pass^SM Service (other than Cox provided access points).

b. Cox Supplied Equipment:

You agree to use Cox Supplied Equipment only for receiving and/or using the StraightUp Internet^SM Services pursuant to this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that the addition or removal of or change to the Cox Supplied Equipment may interrupt your StraightUp Internet^SM Services. You agree that such changes may be performed within Cox’s sole discretion at any time and in any manner. If Cox requires that you add or replace Cox Supplied Equipment and you do not do so, your StraightUp Internet^SM Services may be disconnected.
   
   
2. Unauthorized Use and Prohibition on Tampering:
   Title to and risk of loss of the Cox Supplied Equipment shall pass to you at the time the Cox Supplied Equipment is provided or otherwise made available to you. You are responsible and may be liable for all Cox Supplied Equipment on your Premises and/or in your possession. You agree that you will not and you will not permit others, including without limitation any other provider of video, telecommunications or Internet services, to use, rearrange, disconnect, abandon, remove, relocate, repair, service, alter, modify, tamper or otherwise interfere with the StraightUp Internet^SM Services, or any of the Cox Supplied Equipment including software, firmware, or code changes without Cox’s prior written consent, which Cox may withhold in its sole discretion. Such prohibition includes, without limitation, attaching or, permitting others to attach any unauthorized devices to alter the StraightUp Internet^SM Services or the Cox Supplied Equipment, altering a modem or gateway to change its downloading or uploading capacity, or altering identifying information such as serial numbers or logos. If you make or assist any person to make any unauthorized connection or modification to Cox Supplied Equipment or the StraightUp Internet^SM Services, we may terminate your StraightUp Internet^SM Services and recover such damages as may result from your actions. You also agree that we may recover damages from you for tampering with any Cox Supplied Equipment or for receiving unauthorized service(s). The unauthorized reception of the StraightUp Internet^SM Services may also result in criminal fines and/or imprisonment. You agree that you will not allow anyone other than Cox or its agents.
   
   
3. Payment for Damage to or Loss of Cox Supplied Equipment:
   In the event Cox Supplied Equipment is lost, stolen, or damaged and you need replacement Cox Supplied Equipment to access the StraightUp Internet^SM Services, you may request replacement Cox Supplied Equipment through Cox subject to an additional fee. Except as otherwise set forth herein, you agree to pay the full retail cost for the repair or replacement of any Cox Supplied Equipment or part that is lost, stolen, or damaged, together with any costs incurred by Cox in obtaining or attempting to obtain possession of any Cox Supplied Equipment. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that additional fees may be associated with repair or replacement of Cox Supplied Equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the ninety (90) day period following delivery to you of the Cox Supplied Equipment, Cox may replace defective Cox Supplied Equipment.
   
   
4. Relocation of Cox Supplied Equipment:
   The Cox Supplied Equipment may only be used in the Premises. You agree that you will not remove any Cox Supplied Equipment from the Premises. YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IF YOU ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR USE THE COX SUPPLIED EQUIPMENT OR STRAIGHTUP INTERNET^SM SERVICES AT A LOCATION OTHER THAN THE PREMISES, THE STRAIGHTUP INTERNET^SM SERVICES MAY FAIL TO FUNCTION OR MAY FUNCTION IMPROPERLY.
