By (i) the Customer's submission of an online order; (ii) Customer's acceptance of the Terms of Service electronically during registration; or (iii) Customer's use of Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, including future revisions and to use the Services in compliance with the then current Hawaii IPTV Authorized Use Policy.
2. Authorized User, Use, and Responsibility: Customer acknowledges that he or she is 18 years of age or older, and has the legal authority to enter into this Agreement and affirms that the information Customer supplied is correct and complete. Customer understands that Hawaii IPTV relies on the information Customer supplies and that providing false or incorrect information may result in provisioning or delivery delays or the suspension or termination of Customer's Services. Customer agrees to promptly notify Hawaii IPTV whenever Customer's personal or billing information changes (including for example, Customer name, address, telephone number, and credit card number and expiration date).
3. Term: This Agreement goes into effect upon Customer's acceptance of this Agreement and shall continue until canceled or terminated by either party as permitted by this Agreement. This is a 1 year service agreement from the start billing date of this agreement and will automatically be renewed on the anniversary of this agreement unless canceled by Hawaii IPTV or the Customer through proper notification. Customer will have a 30 day period (from time of purchase) to cancel service and return the equipment in working order to receive a reimbursement for the purchase price of the STB and any monthly or annual subscription fees paid during the term. Customer will not be reimbursed for the activation fee and shipping and handling fees.
4. Payment of Charges:
A. Customer will provide Hawaii IPTV with a valid major credit card as the designated form of payment at initial sign-up, and will maintain the validity of the credit card information while Customer's membership is active. Hawaii IPTV will automatically charge Customer's designated credit card for subscription fees, one-time equipment fees and deposits, applicable service fees, shipping and handling fees as may occur during the course of Customer's membership and any additional charges related to their Hawaii IPTV service. Types of fees for which credit card payment will be utilized include:
i. For Monthly Subscriptions, Hawaii IPTV will automatically charge the Customer's designated credit card a one time fee at the time of purchase for the STB and a one time fee to activate the service plus a charge each month for the balance of that month's fees. Customer will be billed monthly at the beginning of each calendar month for the Monthly Subscription Fee. In addition, Customer will be billed monthly for Video on Demand (VOD) based on actual usage or orders placed during the previous month if applicable, however, each title will be charged only once during the same calendar month. Billing for new Monthly Subscriptions will begin on the earlier of (i) seven (7) days after the date Hawaii IPTV receives and processes the new order or (ii) the date Customer starts using the Services. If the billing start date falls in the middle of the month, Customer will be charged the full monthly fee at the beginning of the next month and a pro-rated fee for the partial month subscription. Applicable sales, usage, and other taxes may apply to these transactions and will be charged in accordance with applicable state and local law. Customer agrees to pay any such taxes, in addition to the monthly balance for Services and Equipment provided. Customer must pay all undisputed monthly charges as itemized on the Hawaii IPTV monthly statement and/or notify Hawaii IPTV of disputed items within thirty (30) days of receipt, or such greater amount of time as permitted by law. Customer authorizes Hawaii IPTV to automatically debit the Customer's credit card on record each month for the balance of that month's subscription fee, any additional VOD usage fees, taxes and any other fees.
ii. For Annual Subscriptions, Hawaii IPTV will automatically charge the Customer's designated credit card the one time fee to purchase the STB and the one time activation fee plus the Annual Subscription Fee at the time the order is received, however, the billing start date will begin on the earlier of (i) seven (7) days after the date Hawaii IPTV receives and processes the new order or (ii) the date Customer starts using the Services. Hawaii IPTV will provide Customer access to the Services for the 12 consecutive month period beginning from the billing start date.. At the end of the Annual Subscription period, Customer has the option to: (a) prepay for another Annual Subscription; (b) change to a Monthly Subscription; or (c) cancel.
If Customer does not specifically elect one of the aforementioned options at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the Annual Subscription period, Customer's subscription will automatically renew for another Annual Subscription of the same package at the current price in effect at the time of renewal. Customer authorizes Hawaii IPTV to automatically debit Customer's credit card for all fees under the Annual Subscription for that package.
Hawaii IPTV Customers under Annual Subscription will be billed monthly for any applicable VOD fees for VOD orders placed during the previous month in addition to the initial Annual Subscription Fee.
iii. Shipping and Handling, and Applicable Service Fees, Hawaii IPTV will automatically charge the Customer's designated credit card for shipping and handling fees, as well as applicable service fees that Customer has pre- approved either during Customer's initial subscription order or during the course of Customer's usage of Hawaii IPTV. Customer acknowledges and agrees that ALL shipping and handling, and applicable service fees are non-refundable.
B. Hawaii IPTV is not responsible for any charges or expenses (e.g., for overdrawn accounts, exceeding credit card limits, etc.) resulting from charges billed by Hawaii IPTV. If the charge transaction against the credit card is refused by the merchant account for any reason (card expired, insufficient credit limit, etc.), Hawaii IPTV will disable access and Customer agrees to pay all amounts due upon demand by Hawaii IPTV. Customer may access and view monthly statements online through his or her Hawaii IPTV account. Every time Customer uses a Hawaii IPTV Service, Customer reaffirms that (i) Hawaii IPTV is authorized to charge Customer's designated credit card; (ii) Hawaii IPTV may submit charges incurred under Customer's account for payment; and (iii) Customer will be responsible for such charges, even if Customer's membership is canceled or terminated.
