Although Subscriber may share the Service among the computers within their residence, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it is their sole responsibility to install and maintain a means of sharing the connection and securing your home network. BAI has no such obligation, and shall not provide the equipment, knowledge, or labor to aid Subscriber in sharing their connection. BAI may refer Subscriber to independent contractors that provide in-home networking services, but BAI does not warrant or guarantee the work performed by any third party, including any independent contractors with which BAI may hold agreements.

BAI offers managed Wi-Fi service to its Subscribers via its Rover service, as well as other managed Wi-Fi solutions for (but not limited to) temporary events, venues and other commercial spaces. In order to utilize Rover, the Subscriber must also be subscribed to a BAI Broadband Internet Service plan, as Rover only operates on the BAI Network(s). Additionally, all Subscribers must be located within the coverage area of an available access point and utilize a device which meets the technical requirements for Wi-Fi service.

 

2.2(b). Performance Characteristics.

Advertised Internet speeds are not guaranteed, and the actual Internet speed observed may vary based on the computer, devices, equipment, connections, location, and other factors outside of BAI’s control. As such, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that BAI cannot and does not guarantee internet speeds, reliability or performance to any non-BAI equipment, via any non-BAI certified cabling, or over a Wi-Fi connection, as BAI cannot account for wireless interference or other obstructions which may interfere with the signal. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that by using wireless equipment to connect to the internet, Subscriber’s service may be impacted, and that such interference can affect the speed and quality of Subscriber’s service.

2.2(d). Subscriber Account. Subscriber hereby acknowledges that each account provides one connection to the Service. Although Subscriber may share the Service among the computers within their residence, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it is their sole responsibility to install and maintain a means of sharing the connection and securing your home network.

2.3. Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) Telephone Service.

 

2.3(a). Description. BAI offers VoIP technology that allows for voice calls over a broadband Internet connection.

 

2.3(b). Need for power: Subscriber acknowledges that VoIP must be installed according to BAI specifications and Subscriber may not alter the equipment or inside wiring in any way. The BAI Equipment is electrically powered, and the Telephone Service may not operate in the event of an electrical power outage. Subscriber acknowledges that, in the event of a power outage in the home, any battery in use may enable back-up service for a limited period of time or not at all, depending on the circumstances, and that the addition of a back-up battery does not ensure that Telephone Service will be available in all circumstances, and that performance of any battery is not guaranteed. Subscriber also acknowledges that, in the event of a loss of power that disrupts the local BAI system, a back-up battery will not provide service and Telephone Service will not be available. Subscriber acknowledges and understands that the BAI Equipment may not have battery back-up of another power source of its own. 

2.3(c) Need for Internet: VoIP Telephone Service is provided over the broadband Internet network. If there is an outage of this network, the VoIP Telephone Service will not be able to make 911 calls. Any 911 calls made using the VoIP Telephone Service may be subject to network congestion or reduced routing or processing speed. Call Forwarding, Do Not Disturb, Simultaneous Ring or other features programmed and in use at the time of a service interruption may not function.

2.3(d) E911 Service: For 911/E911 to work in accordance with BAI’s specifications, BAI must have a correct service address for the location of the BAI Equipment. Subscriber acknowledges that without the correct address during registration for the Telephone Service or in the case of relocation of BAI Equipment to a new address without registration of the new address with BAI, 911/E911 may fail: (i) the calls may be misdirected to the wrong emergency authorities or (ii) emergency authorities will be given the wrong address for the origin of the call. Subscriber acknowledges that authorization for Telephone Service at a new service address (if available) is required to update the service address with BAI Connect and keep E911 service location current.

2.4. DIRECTV (“DTV”) Service.

 

2.4(a). Description. BAI is an authorized reseller of DTV’s satellite television programming. As such, Subscriber acknowledges that although Subscriber is signing up for DTV’s service through BAI, the actual programming shall be provided to Subscriber by DTV; thus, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that BAI shall have no responsibility for any outages or signal related issues.

 

2.4b). DTV Protection Plan. By signing up for DTV, you understand, acknowledge, and agree that you are automatically enrolled into BAI’s DTV Protection Plan (“Protection Plan”) at a rate of $5.95 per month. This Protection Plan covers service to the centralized DTV system at your property for all related issues, as well as remote support for the equipment in Subscriber’s unit. This Protection Plan does not, however, cover on-site service calls for individual equipment, which may result in an additional fee. Enrollment in the Protection Plan is required in order for BAI to sign Subscriber up for DTV.  In the event that Subscriber fails pay the $5.95 per month charge, Subscriber hereby agrees to pay a service fee of $120 per hour, with a two (2) hour minimum charge, each time Subscriber requests any service covered under the Protection Plan.

 

2.4(c). Early Termination Fee. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that in the event that Subscriber terminates his/her contract with DTV prior to the expiration of the then-in-effect contract term, Subscriber may be subject to a cancellation fee upon termination.

3.1. Content. Subscriber acknowledges that information, communications, photographs, videos, graphics, software, music, audio and other materials may be accessible through use of the Service(s) (collectively, “Materials”).

Subscriber further acknowledges that BAI does not have the capability to monitor, review, restrict, edit or remove Materials made available to Subscriber by third-parties on the internet, and agrees that it is Subscriber’s responsibility to evaluate the Materials. Subscriber agrees to bear all risks associated with the use of any Materials, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Materials.

Subscriber agrees that the use of such Materials is governed by all applicable laws and regulations, as well as by any further restrictions placed on such Materials by their owners and licensors. Subscriber further acknowledges that the Service may be used to place Materials in certain public areas (e.g., message boards, newsgroups, forums, and public mailing lists), and that BAI is a distributor, not a publisher, of Materials disseminated by persons using the Service. Subscriber agrees that by posting, uploading or transmitting Materials to any public area, Subscriber is requesting that BAI make such Materials available to others, and acknowledges that placing such Materials in a public area will result in copies of such Material being transmitted to others. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that by posting, uploading or transmitting Materials to any public area, Subscriber: (i) grants BAI a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, distribute, display and create derivative works from such Materials (in whole or in part), and to incorporate it into other works in any form, media or technology (whether now known or later developed); and (ii) warrants that the Subscriber is either the owner of all rights in the Material, including intellectual property rights, or that the owner of any such rights in the Material, including intellectual property rights, has waived such rights and has given Subscriber the right to grant the license described above.
