DigitalPath does not endorse any of these third parties and makes no representation as to them or their software.

2.2 Payment

By using DigitalPath Services, you agree to accept the fees you may incur as a result of using DigitalPath Services, including but not limited to, long distance and toll call charges, supplementary call services, fees for supplemental services such as additional bandwidth, or features and purchases made through the use of DigitalPath Services. You will be notified of any applicable fees prior to incurring liability for such fees and by providing your billing information; you agree that you are liable for payment of such fees. Billings for long distance and/or toll calls are billed in whole, one (1) minute increments. Any portion of a given minute will be rounded up to a whole minute increment and billed at the current per minute rate.

We reserve the right to change our fees or billing methods at any time and we may provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any such changes in the same manner as described above in Section 1.4 for changes to the Agreement and/or the scope of DigitalPath Services. If you do not agree with these changes, you may stop using the DigitalPath Services at any time; however, you will not be entitled to receive a refund for the charges you have already incurred and you are responsible for timely payment of such amounts (including any applicable late fees).

All DigitalPath Services are recurring in nature; as such you hereby authorize DigitalPath to charge the credit card number, or bank account you provided to DigitalPath for such fees on a recurring or automatic basis, including additional services, such as long distance and toll call charges, supplementary call services, and additional bandwidth charges. You acknowledge and agree that DigitalPath will not need to obtain any additional authorization from you for this recurring payment. DigitalPath will not be responsible for any charges from your bank or institution for insufficient funds or overdraft fees. Every time you use DigitalPath Services, or if you do not cancel your account, you re-affirm that DigitalPath is authorized to charge your bank account or credit card provided. If you have any billing-related questions or want to stop a recurring payment from being charged to your account, call our toll-free number (800-676-PATH (7284)). Some fees that you may incur using the DigitalPath Services may accumulate on your DigitalPath account before they are charged to your credit card or Bank Account. Once the charges appear on your account, you are responsible for payment of such charges. DigitalPath will assess a late fee of 1.5% per month (or the highest amount permissible by law, whichever is less) if your payment is more than thirty (30) days past due. You will be liable for any fees we incur in our efforts to collect any unpaid balances from you. Any billing problems or discrepancies must be brought to our attention by you within ninety (90) days from the date you are billed. If you do not bring them to our attention within (90) days, you agree that you waive your right to dispute such problems or discrepancies with DigitalPath.

We may suspend or terminate your use of the DigitalPath Services if you fail to provide a valid credit card number upon request, your bank payment is rejected, your check or cash are not received by the due date on your invoice, or if we are unable, for any reason, to bill your or bank account for the fees you have incurred. You may make a payment via credit card, ACH, cash or check to bring your account to a current status before we may decide to turn access to the Internet back on to your account. We may suspend and/or terminate your account if any additional charges, including but not limited to, long distance and/or toll calls accrue to an amount of greater than one hundred dollars ($100) within any billing cycle. This suspension and/or termination may be reversed at such time as payment for the balance has been made.

You are responsible for all charges incurred, including applicable taxes and purchases made by you or anyone you allow to use your account, including your children and other members of your family. This means that, unless your account, bank information or credit card information is obtained unlawfully or fraudulently by someone other than those authorized to use your account, you will be responsible for all usage and purchases under your account. We may require a police report, fraudulent activity letter to your banking facility or a letter from your credit card company in order to reverse and stop all transactions to your account.

Termination of your DigitalPath Services will not excuse you from (a) your obligation to pay any outstanding balances on your account, (b) amounts owed under your contract, (c) or any criminal or other civil liabilities that may result from your actions. If your DigitalPath Service is terminated for any reason you will be unable to access your DigitalPath account, including any undelivered email messages in your DigitalPath email account.

3.3 DigitalPath Equipment

Depending on which DigitalPath Service(s) you select, DigitalPath may provide a wireless modem, antenna and or other equipment to you. You are responsible for ensuring that no physical damage, except normal wear occurs to these devices that are owned by DigitalPath. If physical damage occurs as a result of your actions, you will be responsible to pay DigitalPath a fee of up to $950.00 USD, depending on the device placed at your facility for your services, regardless of whether you continue using DigitalPath’s Services. If the equipment provided to you fails or is damaged, for a reason other than your actions, DigitalPath will replace the equipment provided to you free of charge for the term of your DigitalPath Services. DigitalPath makes no warranties with respect to equipment provided by DigitalPath, and disclaims any and all implied warranties, including warranties of non-infringement, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or use. You shall not connect, directly or indirectly, any additional electrical or mechanical devices to DigitalPath’s equipment without the prior written consent of DigitalPath. Should any interconnected device or facility provided by you fail to comply with the technical specifications established by DigitalPath or applicable laws and regulations, DigitalPath reserves the right to immediately terminate the Services without notice to you.

Upon termination of your Service(s) with DigitalPath you agree to return or allow access for a DigitalPath employee to collect all equipment provided to you. If you fail to return or allow DigitalPath access to the equipment, you will be billed and you will be liable to pay DigitalPath for the equipment loss in the amount of up to $950.00 USD, depending on the device placed at your facility for your services. This fee will be charged to your credit card on file without further notice or further need for additional authorization. Not under any circumstances will the setup fee be applied towards equipment fees. All setup fees are to cover installation costs and provisioning costs and are non-refundable, except with respect to DigitalPath’s thirty (30) day money back guarantee as defined on DigitalPath web site. Upon removal, whether during the thirty (30) day money back guarantee or after this period, DigitalPath, will leave the cabling in place from the antenna and modem to the computer and DigitalPath will not patch any holes. This is done because some Customers may want to reactivate services at a later date.

3.4 Security

As a DigitalPath Service Customer, it is your responsibility to secure your computer and network equipment so that it is not subject to external threats such as viruses, spam, and other methods of intrusion. In all cases, you are solely responsible for the security of any device you choose to connect to the DigitalPath Services, including any data stored or shared on that device. You are responsible for any misuse of the DigitalPath Services, even if the misuse was committed without your authorization. Therefore, you must take steps to ensure that others do not use your computer or network to gain unauthorized access to the DigitalPath Services or to use the DigitalPath Service in an unauthorized manner.

3.5 Responsibility of DigitalPath Technicians

Our technicians will install your modem, antenna and analog telephone adapter in a safe, professional manner, at a location that is agreeable to you, provided however, DigitalPath is still able to deliver service at the installation location. Our technicians will comply with safety rules and regulations including, when applicable, the technician attaching a rooftop anchor system to your home or business in order to safely access the work area per OSHA requirements for fall protection. Our technicians will route a cable from the outside modem and antenna to your computer. They will not be required to access the attic, crawl under the premises or to route the cable through walls. In a typical installation environment, the cable will be routed along the outside of the house in a neat and clean fashion and go through one exterior wall to connect to the computer. In some cases, the technician may deem it best to route the cable through an attic or under the premises, however they are not required to do so, and an additional fee may apply for extraordinary installations. DigitalPath agrees to inform you of any additional fees prior of any work being started. During the installation process, damage may occur to the premises, including but not limited to, breaking of roof tiles. The technician will attempt to repair any damage at that time, including replacing of broken tiles, provided that the customer has spare tiles available. In the event that the damage cannot be repaired immediately, arrangements will be made for repairs to be completed as soon as possible if the damage was avoidable. Damage to roof tiles or other structural damage that is due to the age of a structure, and the age and condition were not communicated with the technician, will not be the responsibility of DigitalPath. If it was the decision of the customer to allow DigitalPath employees on their roof, knowing the age and condition may cause damage to the roof or building, DigitalPath will not be responsible for such damage. DigitalPath reserves the right to make any and all repairs in-house or through contracted services of Its choice. DigitalPath shall not be liable for any repairs made or billed to DigitalPath without DigitalPath’s prior written consent. DigitalPath will be responsible for returning the premises back to the original condition before the damage occurred provided you allow DigitalPath or our contractor’s technician’s access to repair such damages.

3.6 Customers' Responsibility During Installation

3.6.1 Installation Performed By DigitalPath

After scheduling an installation of DigitalPath Services, if you desire to cancel or reschedule the installation, you must notify DigitalPath customer service 24 hours before the scheduled installation. In the case that you are calling outside business hours, you must leave a voicemail stating your desire to cancel or reschedule installation. Failure to provide notification to DigitalPath customer service 24 hours prior to scheduled installation will result in a $25.00 rescheduling fee which will be charged to your credit card, or you will be invoiced if they have selected to pay by check.

3.6.2 Self-Installation

Customers who choose to perform self-installation assume all liability for damage, destruction, injury or death to any persons or property during the installation process or as a result of the installation, regardless of any advice or instruction they may have received from DigitalPath employees or representatives.

8 DISPUTE, ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

8.1 Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email at feedback@digitalpath.com or by mail at 1065 Marauder Street, Chico, CA 95973 to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the DigitalPath Services. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. You agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
8.2 Agreement to Binding Arbitration. For Customers of the DigitalPath Services that reside in North America, if we do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of sixty (60) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to Section 8.1 above, then either you or we may initiate binding arbitration. Except for any disputes excluded below in Section 8(d), all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the DigitalPath Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered on a confidential basis by JAMS, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitration shall be conducted in the Sacramento, California, and claims regarding the judgement of the arbitrator (including entry of judgment on the arbitration aware) may be brought and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal court located in Sacramento, California.

Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. The JAMS rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures. If you initiate arbitration, to the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred and Fifty U.S. Dollars ($250) and the claim is found to be non-frivolous, we will pay the additional cost. If we are required to pay the additional cost of the filing fees, you should submit a request for payment of fees to JAMS along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS. We will also be responsible for paying all other arbitration costs arising in connection with the arbitration, other than costs incurred by you for legal counsel, travel and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses not constituting fees or amounts payable to JAMS. You will not be required to pay fees and costs incurred by us if you do not prevail in arbitration. We will also pay JAMS to reimburse you for any portion of the $250 filing fee that is more than what you would otherwise have to pay to file suit in a court of law. You understand that, absent this mandatory provision, you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. You further understand that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
8.3 Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. You and we each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in our respective individual capacities only and not as a class action, and you and we each expressly waive our respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in Section 8.2 shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate Disputes.
8.4 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief (i) in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction, and (ii) any Disputes relating to intellectual property rights, obligations, or any infringement claims.
8.5 30 Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in Sections 8(b) and 8(c) by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out by emailing us at feedback@digitalpath.com. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services, or the effective date of the first set of this Agreement containing an Arbitration and Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver section otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.
8.6 Term for Cause of Action. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the DigitalPath Services or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
8.7 Exclusive Venue for Litigation. To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 8(b) do not apply or if you have opted out of arbitration, you agree that any litigation shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in Sacramento, California (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). In the event of litigation relating to this Agreement or the DigitalPath Services, you agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial, except where a jury trial waiver is not permissible under applicable law.
8.8 Governing Law and Rules. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16). In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator is not empowered to award punitive or exemplary damages, except where permitted by statute, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator may not award any incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits. The parties adopt and agree to implement the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure (as it exists on the effective date of this Agreement) with respect to any final award in an arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement.
8.9 Exception – California Privacy Attorney Generals Act (PAGA) Action. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all Disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a court of law for a claim arising under California’s Private Attorneys General Act.

12 NETWORK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

12.2 Throttling. DigitalPath does not throttle traffic. See ‘Data Allowances’ and ‘Traffic Prioritization’.
12.3 Affiliated Prioritization. DigitalPath does not prioritize traffic for the benefit of affiliates.
12.4 Paid Prioritization. See ‘Traffic Prioritization’
12.5 Congestion Management. Our congestion management practice is to build capacity into each network segment capable of handling peak customer traffic, react to congestion as it arises by proactively and reactively implementing repairs and upgrades on our network. All traffic, with the exception of VoIP traffic, is affected equally, based on the subscriber plan prioritization. The purpose of this practice is to not unfairly impact specific subscribers or specific traffic, resulting in the best possible user experience during congestion events. Criteria used in determining congestion include latency, packet loss and review of traffic and link capacity. Congestion events vary and can occur daily, weekly or monthly. Customers that exceed the usage limits in their plan may experience a reduction in speed. DigitalPath implements Radio Resource Management software and proprietary network monitoring systems as part of the management practices for managing network capacity and managing congestion.
12.6 Application-Specific Behavior. Traffic that has been identified as related to a DDOS (Denial of Service Attacks) or other types of attacks or traffic identified to contain viruses/malware is automatically or manually blocked. No other traffic is intentionally blocked with the exception of known windows ports which can be remotely compromised.
12.7 Device Attachment Rules. 802.11 devices can connect wirelessly to certain network components, other devices can be connected through an Ethernet cable. All connections require authentication through an active subscriber account. DigitalPath reserves the right at our discretion to block specific devices which might be believed to be compromised from a virus or worm, malware or other issue which could generate problems for other subscribers and the overall health of the DigitalPath Network.
12.8 Security. A basic firewall is installed on every end-user Customer’s premise equipment. VLAN’s and network segmenting provide additional security.

13 PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

13.1 Service Description. The delivery of DigitalPath Services may include 3rd party and/or DigitalPath proprietary 802.11 a, b, n, and ac wireless devices.

Latency varies between 7ms and 100ms based on location and other factors. Customers may see occasional fluctuations in subscribed speeds. Fluctuations or reductions in subscribed speeds are based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, network usage, upstream providers, data allowances, provided equipment types and environmental impacts. Signal issues or other factors beyond DigitalPath’s direct control may cause sustained reduced performance in certain situations. DigitalPath does not guarantee uptimes, speeds or latency due to the variable listed above.
