5. Service Description:
   
   1. Providing Service. Union will provide Union Broadband Internet Service via the network infrastructure that runs directly to your location. If you do not have a Union wireline telephone line, Union may be able to provide broadband to your location by other means, subject to restrictions. If the Service you purchase includes telephony, you will be provided with a Union telephone number to use with your Service. Union will terminate your Service if you move your local telephone Service to another company, move your local telephone Service to a Service provider or otherwise terminate your Union local telephone Service. Charges may apply.
      
      
   2. Availability. Union Broadband Internet Service may not be available in all areas or at the rates or speeds generally marketed. The speed(s) available at your location are identified during the ordering process. Service speeds are “up to” and Union will provision your line at the maximum speed it qualifies for within the speed range of the Service you selected from the available options. Availability of Service depends on availability and limits of Union wire centers and facilities. Service will not be provided using unsuitable facilities or if a provision of Service creates interference with other Services. Service is offered only to location(s) qualified by Union line qualification procedures. Some lines may not qualify for Service even if an initial test qualified such lines.
      
      
   3. Best Effort Service. Union Broadband Internet Service is a Best Effort Service. That means your Service is provided on a per-line basis, and the actual throughput and connection speed of your Service depends on many factors such as Internet traffic and congestion or bandwidth, distance of your location from certain Union data equipment, viruses or spyware, server speed of the Web sites you connect to, traffic and congestion on your home network or corporate LAN, and Windows PC settings, in addition to other factors. Uninterrupted or error-free Services are not guaranteed, and Union makes no warranty that Union Broadband Internet Service will meet your requirements, or that Union Broadband Internet Service will be timely or secure. Union provides no guarantee regarding throughput speeds with Union Broadband Internet Service.
      
      
   4. Moves. If you move to another location (including a move within the same building) you are not guaranteed to have Service at the new location. Your line must be re-qualified for Service at any new location and MRCs and NRCs applicable to new Service will apply.
      
      
   5. Union Facilities and Equipment to Provide Service. Certain Union facilities and equipment used to provide you Union Broadband Internet Service may be located on your premises. These facilities and equipment are the property of Union and must be installed, relocated, rearranged, tested, inspected, and maintained only by Union. You are responsible for damage to such facilities and equipment resulting from your negligence (including failure to reasonably prevent damage by others) or willful conduct. Devices that are damaged due to customer abuse or not returned within 10 business days after service termination are subject to a onetime charge equivalent to the list price of the modem in effect at the time of the charge. Any unauthorized attachments or connections may be removed or disconnected by Union and your Service may be suspended or terminated as a result. You agree to provide Union access to your premises at reasonable hours if necessary, to terminate or cancel Service or to maintain or remove the facilities and/or equipment. If construction is required to provide Services to your physical location, you, as property owner, grant Union a right of way and easement at no cost over, above, under and through your property for purposes of construction of Union’s network to your location to provide the Services. If you are not the owner of the property subject to construction, you agree as a condition precedent to Union providing the Services, to arrange with the property owner a non-exclusive right of way and easement in favor of Union for which you accept all liability and responsibility, at no cost to Union, to provide Services to your location. If such easement rights are not granted to Union, Services cannot be provided to your location and this Agreement will terminate. Union is not liable for defacement or damage to your premises resulting from the existence of Union facilities or equipment and associated wiring, or from installation or removal thereof, when such defacement or damage is not the result of Union negligence. You may be required to provide, install, and maintain, at your expense, certain items such as appropriate space and power, and rights or licenses, to receive Broadband Internet Service if such items are not already in place. These items may include, without limitation, suitable power, power wiring and outlets, housing, heat, light, and ventilation for the operation of Union’s network facilities. All other items reasonably identified by Union as necessary to provide the Service.
      
      
   6. Non-essential underground utilities: You, the customer, are required to, and must perform, best-effort marking of non-essential underground utilities on site (e.g., and without limitation, electric dog fence, sprinkler systems, septic, etc.) prior to install to prevent breaks. When accurate marking is completed prior to install, Union will repair any unintentional breaks at no cost to you. Failure to mark non-essential underground utilities places all repair and replacement responsibility on you.
      
      
   7. Account Usage and Identification. You may choose to set up an online account, including username and password and confirm your identifying information (collectively and together with other information about your account) upon completing the registration process.
