A NOTE ABOUT PROGRAMMING

USA Connections receives programming from various broadcast and cable networks. USA Connections is not responsible for the content or schedule aired by these networks. Please contact specific cable or broadcast networks directly with your programming complaints or questions.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OUR SERVICES

In return for the timely payment of a monthly fee and other applicable service charges, USA Connections will provide to you the services that you select from the programming packages we offer. As required by federal law, you must first subscribe to our Basic Cable service to buy other optional cable television services. Subject to applicable law, we have the right at any time to change the services and equipment that we offer to you, as well as prices and fees for such services and equipment. We also may rearrange, delete, add to, or otherwise change the programming services provided by us. If the change directly affects the services you are receiving from us, we will provide you notice of the change and the effective date. The notice may be provided on your monthly bill, as a bill insert, in a newspaper or by any other permitted communication. If you find the change unacceptable, you have the right to cancel or change your service; however, if you continue to receive the service after the effective date of the change, we will consider this acceptance of the change.

FCC WAIVER REGARDING AUDIBLY ACCESSIBLE ON-SCREEN GUIDES AND MENUS

USA Connections qualifies for a waiver from the FCC that relieves USA Connections of the requirement to ensure that on-screen text menus and guides for the display or selection of multichannel video programming provided by navigation devices that it leases or sells are audibly accessible in real-time upon request by individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Therefore, customers who are blind or visually impaired using USA Connections will not be able to audibly access any of the functions in the display or selection of multichannel video programming via on-screen text menus and guides. Other television providers in your area may offer navigation devices with audibly accessible features. For more information, contact USA Connections at contactus@connectwithusa.com.

You warrant that you are either the owner of the Premises or that you have the authority to give us access to the Premises. If you are not the owner of the Premises, you are responsible for obtaining any necessary approval from the owner to allow us and our agents into the Premises to perform the activities specified above. In addition, you agree to supply us or our agent, if we ask, the owner’s name, address, and phone number, and/or evidence that the owner has authorized you to grant access to us and our agents to the Premises.

Customer Equipment

Customer Equipment means software, hardware or services that you elect to use in connection with the Service or USA Connections Equipment. You agree to allow us and our agents the rights to insert cable cards and other hardware in the Customer Equipment, send software, firmware, and/or other programs to the Customer Equipment and install, configure, maintain, inspect and upgrade the Customer Equipment and USA Connections Equipment.

CABLE HOME WIRING

Federal law defines “cable home wiring” as the internal wiring contained within your premises, which begins at the demarcation point. The “demarcation point” is defined by federal law as the point at (or about) 12 inches outside of where the wire enters the outside wall of your single family home or, in the case of an apartment building, 12 inches outside of where the cable wire enters the outside wall of your individual unit. Cable home wiring does not include any active elements such as amplifiers, digital set-top boxes, or remote control units that may be located within your premises. Cable home wiring is your property and its maintenance, repair, and replacement is your sole responsibility unless we specifically assume such responsibility in a written agreement with you.

SERVICE CHANGES AND INSTALLATION

Standard installations are generally completed within 7 business days. If you initiate a change in the services you receive, you may be subject to the applicable installation or change of service charge. You may obtain additional information about our current services, fees and prices by calling us during normal business hours. Address Transfer Fee $40.00 Outlet Relocation Fee $10.00 each Non-Cable Problem Service Call $25.00

“ADULT AT HOME” POLICY

Our company’s policy is that our installers and technicians will not enter your home to perform work if a responsible adult (aged 18 or over) is not present. We recognize that this may cause inconveniences for some of our customers, but we feel strongly that this policy is essential to protect both you and our employees.

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE CABLE SERVICE

Our cable television service is delivered by a broadband RF signal. We encode this signal with multiple visual, audio and text information. Our cable television signal may be split using conventional broadband splitters available through us or competitive sources. Directional switches or A/B switches also may be used to alternate between our RF signal and other broadband RF signals provided by competitors. Customer-owned equipment, such as cable-ready digital television sets with QAM capable tuners or cable-ready digital video recorders (DVRs) generally are capable of directly receiving the non-scrambled portions of our broadband signal. You can receive these unscrambled signals typically by selecting the appropriate channel number on a cable-ready digital television, DVR or digital set-top box. We also scramble a portion of our broadband signal, including our non-basic service tiers, premium and pay-per-view channels and our high definition and other digital video, audio, and text services, to secure it from unauthorized use. Our scrambled programming can be received with equipment that is leased from us or through equipment purchased from retail sources; however, if you purchase the equipment from a retail source, you will need to make sure that it will be capable of using a “CableCARD” security device that is leased from us to decode our scrambled broadband signal.

CHANNEL POSITIONS OF BROADCAST PROGRAMMING CARRIED ON OUR SYSTEM

Federal law requires us to inform you of any broadcast stations that cannot be viewed without a digital set-top box. The specific broadcast stations that we carry on our cable system are listed in the Basic Cable service portion of our channel line-up and each can be viewed without the use of a digital set-top box if you subscribe to the Basic Cable service.

PARENTAL LOCKS AND VIDEO/SOUND BLOCKS

A digital set-top box provided by us offers you the ability to limit viewing of certain channels through parental control options. Such options allow you to select which channels should not be viewed in your absence, through use of a customer created code, which can be enabled or disabled at your discretion. Please contact one of our Customer Service Representatives for additional details and assistance.

CHARGES AND BILLING

HOW WE WILL BILL YOU

Service is provided to you on a month-to-month basis. You will generally be billed monthly, in advance, for recurring service charges, equipment charges and fees. YOU MUST PAY, ON OR BEFORE THE DAY WE INSTALL ANY OR ALL OF THE SERVICE, THE FIRST MONTH’S SERVICE CHARGES, EQUIPMENT CHARGES, ANY DEPOSITS AND ANY INSTALLATION CHARGES. Your first bill may include pro-rated charges from the date you first begin receiving Service, as well as monthly recurring charges for the next month and charges for non-recurring services you have received. You may be billed for some Service individually after they have been provided to you; these include measured and per-call charges and charges for pay-per-view movies or events, and interactive television. If you receive Service under a promotion, after the promotional period ends, regular charges for the Service will apply. We do not waive our rights to collect the full balance owed to us by accepting partial payment. We will apply the partial payment to the outstanding charges in the amounts and proportions that we determine. For Voice Customers If you pay a flat monthly fee for your calling plan, that fee may not cover certain types of calls. You will be billed for these excluded call types on a per-call basis (e.g., operator services) or a measured basis (e.g., international calls). Our paper bills for Voice contain only a summary of charges. Detailed information is available for a limited period at a password-protected portion of our website.

CHARGES, FEES, AND TAXES YOU MUST PAY

You agree to pay all charges associated with the Service, including, but not limited to, installation/service call charges, monthly service charges, Equipment charges, measured and per call charges, applicable federal, state, and local taxes and fees (however designated), broadcaster retransmission fees, regulatory recovery fees for municipal, state and federal government fees or assessments imposed on USA Connections, permitted fees and cost recovery charges, or any programs in which USA Connections participates, including, but not limited to, public, educational and governmental access, universal service, telecom relay services for the visually/hearing impaired, rights-of-way access and programs supporting the 911/E911 system, and any fees or payment obligations imposed by governmental or quasi-governmental bodies for the sale, installation, use or provision of the Service. YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY GOVERNMENT IMPOSED FEES AND TAXES THAT BECOME APPLICABLE RETROACTIVELY. We will provide you with notice and an effective date of any change in our prices or fees, unless the change in price is related to a change in governmental or quasi-governmental taxes, fees or assessments, in which case we may elect not to provide notice except where required by applicable law. Not all fees apply to all Service.

PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD OR CHECK

If you use a credit card to pay for the Service, 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. If USA Connections does not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agents, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand. If you make payment by check, you authorize USA Connections to collect your check electronically. You agree that you may not amend or modify this Agreement with any restrictive endorsements (such as “paid in full”), or other statements or releases on or accompanying checks or other payments accepted by USA Connections and any such notations shall have no legal effect.

OUR REMEDIES IF YOU PAY LATE OR FAIL TO PAY

Late or Non-Payments

You may be billed fees, charges, and assessments related to late or non-payments if for any reason (a) USA Connections does not receive payment for the Service by the payment due date or (b) you pay less than the full amount due for the Service. YOU WILL BE ASSESSED A LATE FEE OF $15 PER MONTH FOR EACH ACCOUNT THAT HAS NOT BEEN PAID IN FULL AFTER 20 DAYS FROM THE INVOICE DATE. Late Payment Fee $15.00 Return Payment Fee $30.00

Fees Not Considered Interest or Penalties

USA Connections does not anticipate that you will fail to pay for the Service on a timely basis, and we do not extend credit to customers. Any fees, charges, and assessments due to late payment or nonpayment are liquidated damages intended to be a reasonable advance estimate of our costs resulting from late payments and non-payments. These costs will be difficult to calculate or to predict when we set such fees, charges and assessments, because we cannot know in advance: (a) whether you will pay for the Service on a timely basis, if ever; (b) if you do pay late, when you will actually pay; and (c) what costs we will incur because of your late payment or non-payment.

Collection Costs

If we use a collection agency or attorney to collect money owed by you, you agree to pay the reasonable costs of collection. These costs include, but are not limited to, any collection agency’s fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and arbitration or court costs.

Suspension/Disconnect

If you fail to pay the full amount due for any or all of the Service then USA Connections, at its sole discretion in accordance with and subject to applicable law, may suspend or disconnect any or all the Service you receive.

Reconnection Fees and Related Charges

If you resume Service after any suspension, we may require you to pay a reconnection fee. If you reinstate any or all Service after disconnection, we may require you to pay an installation fee and/or service activation fee. These fees are in addition to all past due charges and other fees. Reconnection of the Service is subject to our credit policies, this Agreement, and applicable law. Delinquent Payment Hard Reconnect Fee $50.00 Delinquent Payment Soft Reconnect Fee $25.00 Delinquent Payment Tech Collection Fee $15.00 Equipment In the event your service is terminated, the converter, remote control and any other equipment provided by us should be returned to our local business office within ten (10) days of the date on which Service is disconnected. You will continue to be billed for the equipment until it is returned. If you have lost or are otherwise unable to return the equipment you will be billed for the equipment. The following charges will be assessed for each piece of unreturned equipment**: $25 for each M card, smart card, power supply, remote, standard digital receiver $100 for each cable modem, wireless modem $100 for each wireless router $130 for each phone device $150 for each DVR $300 for each transceiver (outdoor antenna) $350 for each HD receiver and/or TiVo DVR. No refunds will be issued for credit balances on account until all equipment has been returned. ** or other damage, fees, cost, charges, and expenses designated by the USA Connections.

OUR RIGHT TO MAKE CREDIT INQUIRIES

YOU AUTHORIZE USA CONNECTIONS TO MAKE INQUIRIES AND TO RECEIVE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CREDIT EXPERIENCE FROM OTHERS, TO ENTER THIS INFORMATION IN YOUR FILE AND TO DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION CONCERNING YOU TO APPROPRIATE THIRD PARTIES FOR REASONABLE BUSINESS PURPOSES.

REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT

We may require you to pay a refundable deposit when you activate the Service, if you add Equipment and/or Service. If we disconnect your Service or are otherwise required under applicable law to refund the deposit, we shall within forty-five (45) days or as otherwise specified by applicable law return a sum equal to the deposit you paid (without interest unless otherwise required by law) minus any amounts due on your account (including without limitation, any amounts owed for the Service or for any Equipment that is damaged, altered or not returned).

A WORD ABOUT CABLE THEFT

Federal law contains both civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized use or theft of cable services and for manufacturers, suppliers and users of unauthorized devices that facilitate the theft or unauthorized use of cable services. This federal theft-of-service law supplements any existing state or local laws, and provides a remedy against any person who, without authorization, intercepts or receives any communication service which is provided over a cable system. This would include the theft of audio, video, textual data, or other service, including data transmitted to or from a customer over a system that has interactive capability. Cable theft increases our costs in delivering quality service to our customers. We prohibit tampering with our equipment or the use of any equipment to receive unauthorized broadband or other communications services. We will take action to deter theft of service, including service termination, restitution, civil actions for legal damages and, in some cases, criminal prosecution.

EQUIPMENT COMPATIBILITY

TELEVISIONS AND VCR COMPATIBILITY

Many newer television sets and videocassette recorders (“VCRs”) are labeled “cable-ready”. Typically, a cable-ready television or VCR is one which, when connected directly to cable service, can receive all unscrambled, non-premium channels (premium channels include such channels as HBO and Showtime). Older televisions and VCRs are more likely to be non-cable-ready, which means they generally receive only some numbered channels (usually channels 2-13). Even if you have an older television or VCR that was advertised as being “cable-ready” or “cable compatible,” the equipment may not perform as you expected when connected directly to our cable system. This is because there previously were no standards applicable to television set manufactures governing the reception of cable channels. According to new federal regulations, televisions and VCRs sold in the United States as of July 1997 cannot be called “cable-ready” or “cable compatible” unless they comply with the new technical requirements adopted by the FCC, including the ability to properly tune cable channels. Existing equipment may meet some but not all of these standards and connecting our cable service directly to such equipment may cause signal degradation or interference. If you are not sure whether your television or VCR is “cable-ready”, you should review the equipment manual and instructions or contact the manufacturer. If your equipment is not fully cable-ready, you can still receive all standard cable channels offering non-scrambled or non-encrypted programming by renting or purchasing a single set-top converter without descrambling or decryption capabilities. For a low monthly fee, we rent set-top converters to our customers that will be compatible with the services you purchase from us. You may also purchase set-top converters at electronic stores or other retail outlets in your area. HD Receiver $8.00/$12.00 each per month DVR Receiver $10.00/$15.00 each per month

COMPATIBILITY OF SET-TOP CONVERTERS AND CABLECARDS

Many subscribers currently rent or own set-top converters to receive our cable services. Because a set-top converter functions as the channel tuner on your television or VCR, it may prevent you from using some of the special features and functions of your television or VCR. For example, you may not be able to view one program while recording another, record two or more consecutive programs that appear on different channels, use advanced picture generation and display features such as “picture-in-picture,” channel review or use other features that necessitate channel selection by the television set or VCR. Some of these problems may be resolved by the use of A/B switches, signal splitters, and/or other supplemental equipment that can be purchased from USA Connections or at electronic stores. Please call us if you would like to discuss the type of special equipment needed to resolve individual compatibility problems or if you have any questions regarding other equipment compatibility issues. In order to enable you to utilize special features, which your television and VCR may have, we will make available, upon your request, equipment which will allow for simultaneous reception of two or more scrambled or encrypted signals and for tuning to alternative channels on a pre-programmed schedule. This equipment could include, for example, set-top converters and multiple descrambler/ decoders and/or timers (or if such devices are not available, multiple set-top devices will be provided) and signal bypass switches. If you plan to purchase cable services that we scramble or encrypt, such as premium, pay-per-view or digital services, you should make sure that any set-top converter, navigation device or digital-cable-ready television (which can receive digital cable services using a device that we must provide called a CableCARD in place of a converter) that you purchase from a retail outlet is compatible with our system. Due to device limitations, digital cable-ready retail devices using CableCARD technology only receive what is known as “one-way” cable services. Such devices cannot receive “two-way” cable services, such as USA Connections’ electronic program guide, pay-per-view, or switched digital video services. Customers with a TiVo digital cable-ready DVR can access switched digital video services by obtaining a “tuning adapter” device from USA Connections. Customers with the TiVo DVR or other digital cable-ready devices will need a digital set-top box from USA Connections to access switched digital video and other two-way cable services. Two-way digital cable-ready devices are not yet commercially available, but are expected to be available in the near future. Upon your request, we will provide you with the necessary technical parameters necessary for any set-top converter rented or acquired from retail outlets to operate with our cable system. If you see advertisements for set-top converters that have descramblers in them, you should understand that these devices may be illegal to use. Because of the need to protect our scrambled services, we will not authorize the use of any converter/descrambler that does not conform to a required signal security specifications. People who use illegal converters/descramblers may be subject to prosecution for theft of cable service. It is unlawful to alter or tamper with any device belonging to a cable operator in order to receive, intercept, or assist in receiving or intercepting any communications service offered over a cable system. People who take such actions may be subject to fines or imprisonment.

REMOTE CONTROL UNITS

We provide remote control units to subscribers to access set-top converter features remotely. Currently, we provide subscribers with set-top converters with compatible remote control units. Although we provide remote control units, subscribers may purchase compatible remotes at local electronic stores or other retail outlets. A representative list of compatible remote control models currently available from local retailers includes: MOTOROLA DRC800 4 IN 1, UR4-DCT, UR3-SR3M, UR4-DSR, UR3LSR4M, UR3SR3MMT. Although these remote control units are compatible with the set-top converters that we currently offer, these remotes may not be functional if we change the type of set-top converters we offer to subscribers. If you have any questions regarding whether a particular remote control unit would be compatible with our equipment, please contact us by calling customer service 877-773-8989.

SUBSCRIBER PRIVACY POLICY

This is a summary of the subscriber privacy policy for USA Connections (through its operating affiliates Cable Nebraska, Cable Montana, Antilles Wireless, CAP Cable, and USA Connections) (referred to herein as “USA Connections”) for cable, Internet, and voice services (the “Service”). It is provided to you pursuant to federal law which generally protects personally identifiable information that you have provided to us or that we have collected about you using our cable system. We consider the privacy of our customers to be very important, and we are committed to keeping nonpublic personal information about our customers secure and confidential. This privacy policy describes the information that USA Connections collects and how we protect it, how long we keep the information and your right to review it, to correct errors in it and to enforce your rights, as well as the steps that USA Connections takes to protect against unauthorized disclosure of Your information. With respect to our internal security procedures, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your nonpublic personal information and we take reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized access to this information.

CUSTOMER INFORMATION WE COLLECT

There are two types of information that USA Connections may collect in connection with your use of the Service — personally identifiable information and non-personal information, each of which are discussed in greater detail below. Personally identifiable information We keep regular business records that contain your personally identifiable information which may include: name, address, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, social security number, driver’s license number, bank account number, credit card number, other billing, payment and credit information service records; payment and deposit history, customer correspondence and complaint, and maintenance records. If you rent your residence, we may have a record of whether landlord permission was required prior to installing our service as well as your landlord’s name, address, and telephone number. For Cable Service Users: USA Connections may also collect the following information: the number of television sets and other devices you may have connected to our cable system and service options you subscribe to and use. For Internet Service Users: USA Connections also collects customer-provided customization settings and preferences. By using the Internet service, Customer consents to our collection of this information and other information communicated to USA Connections such as e-mails, responses to surveys or e-mails, information provided in chat sessions with us, registration information or participation in promotions or contests.

Non-personal information

Non-personal information, including aggregate information about our Customers obtained from other sources, does not identify individual Customers. Examples of non-personal information are log files, which include IP addresses, MAC addresses or other equipment identifiers, among other data. These are used by USA Connections’ website servers to record aggregate information about site usage for network administration and for aggregate tracking of site usage and to gather broad demographic information. Only anonymous and aggregated Internet usage data, which may be combined with aggregate demographic data, is provided to third parties. However, USA Connections may provide site usage information linked to your personally identifiable information to law enforcement agencies or others in response to appropriate legal processes USA Connections, or our contractors or agents, may from time to time share aggregate (non-personally identifiable) information such as the number of Service subscribers who match certain statistical profiles (for example, the number of subscribers in various parts of the country) with our advertisers, content providers, or other third parties with whom we have a relationship. In addition, we may collect anonymous and/or aggregate information using set-top boxes and other equipment. When you use our interactive or other transactional services such as pay-per-view, our systems may automatically collect certain information about your use of these services. Most of this information is not personally identifiable information, and is used, by way of example, to carry out a particular request you make using your remote control, set-top box, or other equipment. We may maintain records of research concerning customer satisfaction and viewing habits which are obtained from customer interviews and questionnaires. We may combine the personally identifiable information that we collect as part of our regular business records with personally identifiable information obtained from third parties for the purpose of creating an enhanced customer database and records. We may use aggregate and/or personally identifiable information to better understand how the Service is being used, to improve it, and for network management, bandwidth usage, maintenance, performance measurement, and security purposes, including to determine whether there are violations of any applicable policies and terms of service. USA Connections may combine this data with our business records as necessary to better serve our Customers. USA Connections transmits personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information about you over the Service when you send and receive e-mail, video mail, and instant messages; transfer and share files, make files accessible, visit Websites, or otherwise use the Service and its features. Our transmission of this information is necessary to render the Service and allow you to use the Service as you have chosen.

HOW WE USE CUSTOMER INFORMATION

We use the personally identifiable information we collect about you primarily to conduct business activities related to providing you with accurate and high quality customer service, properly deliver Your services, for billing, invoicing, and collections, to better understand how the service is being used, to improve the service, to help us detect and prosecute theft of service, to determine whether there are violations of any applicable policies and terms of service, for fraud prevention, to manage the Service network, and to configure, maintain and/or repair cable modems and/or other cable and Internet service-related devices. USA Connections retains the right to monitor its Internet service for these purposes. Generally we use this information for billing and collections, administration, customer surveys, marketing of our products and services, service delivery and customization, maintenance and operations, fraud prevention, disconnect and reconnect services, and our own tax and accounting records, statistics and demographic studies, and to otherwise comply with law. We also use this information to inform you when inquiries or changes are made with respect to your account or the services that you receive. We also collect this information so we may provide updates, upgrades, repairs, or replacements for any of the Internet service-related devices or software used in providing or receiving high-speed Internet services. We also may use this information to improve our cable television service and other services and to make programming and advertising more relevant to you without disclosing personally identifiable information about you to programmers or advertisers. Additional information also allows USA Connections to tailor our services, as well as develop and market new services, to better fit Customer’s needs.

DISCLOSURE OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

We may disclose personally identifiable information about you to a third party if (a) you consent in advance in writing or electronically; (b) disclosure is necessary to conduct a legitimate business activity related to the cable service and other services we provide to you; (c) disclosure is required by law, legal process or court order; or (d) disclosure is made to a governmental entity as authorized under Chapters 119, 121, or 206 of Title 18, United States Code, except that such disclosure shall not include records revealing subscriber selection of video programming.

We may also provide certain anonymous or aggregated information to third parties for programming, advertising, and similar purposes. We will not disclose the extent of your viewing or use of a particular service or the nature of any transaction you may make over the cable system except on an anonymous or aggregated basis.

USA Connections restricts third parties’ use of Your information to the purposes for which it is disclosed and prohibits third parties from further disclosure or use of Your personally identifiable information obtained from us whether for that third party’s own marketing purposes or otherwise. However, some of the third parties that USA Connections contracts with provide particular services, such as Internet content or software, when you use such services. You may be providing your name, specific service-related information, and other personally identifiable information directly to the third party service provider. In such instances, you may become a customer of a third party directly and accordingly be subject to such third party’s terms of service and privacy policies and USA Connections will have no control of such third party’s use of your personally identifiable information. This may occur, for example, when you link to other websites from our website. Although some of these other sites may be co-branded with USA Connections and look like USA Connections’ service offerings, USA Connections is not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites. We encourage You to be aware when You leave our website and read the privacy policies of every Website that collects personally identifiable information about You, whether the site is co-branded with USA Connections or not. As noted above, USA Connections also may disclose your personally identifiable information to governmental agencies or to comply with valid legal process. Such disclosures may be made pursuant to an administrative subpoena, warrant, court order, or in our reasonable discretion, in the event of an emergency giving rise to the threat of serious physical injury. In these situations, USA Connections may be required to disclose personally identifiable information about a Customer without Customer’s consent and without notice to the Customer. In response to a subpoena, we may be required to disclose to the government the following records: Your name and address, records of Your Internet sessions (including session times and duration), how long You have subscribed to our service (including start date and the type of service utilized), Your telephone number or other subscriber account identifying number, including any Internet or network address(es) assigned to You by our network; and the means and source of Your payment including any credit card or bank account number. In addition, if we receive a Federal or State search warrant or court order we may be required to disclose to law enforcement agencies the content of, and other records relating to, e-mail messages (including attachments to e-mail messages and records relating to Your e-mail and Internet use), without notice to You. Law enforcement agencies may, by Federal or State court order, and without notice to you, obtain the right to install a device that monitors Your Internet and e-mail use, including addresses of mail sent and received. USA Connections may also use or disclose personally identifiable information about You without Your consent to protect our customers, employees, or property, in emergency situations, to enforce our rights in court or elsewhere or directly with You, and for detection of and enforcement against violations of the Service’s terms of service and policies (including our Acceptable Use Policy).

In such circumstances, USA Connections may disclose your personal information to private individuals or to government entities.

HOW WE PROTECT THE INFORMATION

We follow standard industry practices and take such actions as are reasonably necessary to prevent unauthorized access to customers’ personally identifiable information by a person other than the customer or us. We cannot guarantee, however, that these practices will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose personally identifiable information. USA Connections takes the security of our Customers’ personally identifiable information seriously. USA Connections takes such actions as are reasonably necessary to prevent unauthorized access by entities other than USA Connections to personally identifiable information. USA Connections uses security and/or encryption technology to secure certain sensitive personally identifiable information when it collects such information over the system. USA Connections restricts access to its customer database and secures the content by use of firewalls and other security methods. USA Connections limits access to databases containing Customers’ personally identifiable information to authorized employees and agents of USA Connections and other parties identified in the disclosure section above. However, we cannot guarantee that these practices will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose personally identifiable information. Customer Proprietary Network Information Certification Statement USA Connections enforces the following procedure regarding protection for our phone customers: Customer Service Representatives are required to verify the following account information to protect the customer’s CPNI: account holder name, authorized user names, phone number, address and bill to address, last 4 digits of the account owner and authorized user’s social security number, and password verification. USA Connections also enforces the additional standards for our phone customers: We do not sell or provide any unrelated third party information regarding our customers. All customers are automatically ‘opted-out’ for consent to disclose CPNI to these unrelated third parties or to any joint venture partner or independent contractors. On-line access to CPNI is protected by a password pin number established by the customers and maintained by our carrier. The password is also setup in our billing system for each phone customer and is required before providing any information or making any change to the individual’s phone service. Notification to our customers and law enforcement is provided in instances of breaches of confidentiality. All Customer Service Representatives and Technical Support staff are trained on the above requirements. The billing manager audits our phone customers on a routine basis to determine that all phone customers have a password pin number on file. The CSR and Technical Support managers routinely listen to staff calls with customers to ensure the above procedures are maintained. All information kept on our servers are protected by our network firewalls and maintained by our Information Technology Officer. We also provide internal network security mechanisms.

HOW LONG INFORMATION IS KEPT

We will maintain information about you for as long as we provide service to you and for a longer time if necessary for related business activities. Ordinarily, we will keep records for at least seven (7) years for tax reasons. When information is no longer necessary for our purposes, we will destroy the information unless there is a court order or a pending legitimate request or governmental order to inspect or maintain the information.
