Anthem Connect will most often deliver such Communications to you in electronic form. You agree, by accepting the Services, to receive such Communications electronically and for all lawful purposes as required by the FCC or under the Telephone Communication Protection Act of 1991, and any subsequent amendments (“TCPA”).

Communications will be considered to be received by you upon delivery in any of the following manners: 

  1. posting them to your online account; 
  1. posting them on or in the Anthem Connect website; 
  1. emailing them to the email address associated with your account;

3. CONSENT TO RECEIVE TELEPHONE CALLS AND TEXT MESSAGES FROM ANTHEM CONNECT AND ITS AFFILIATES 

On occasion, Anthem Connect or its affiliates may contact you by telephone or SMS text at the landline and/or wireless phone numbers you have provided Anthem Connect. You hereby consent to such contact. These communications may be about your Anthem Connect account, responses to inquiries that you have made to us, or for other purposes, including marketing messages about other goods or services provided by Anthem Connect or its affiliates. Your consent authorizes us to do so under the TCPA.  These SMS text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system and may include prerecorded messages. Please note that you may be responsible for any charges from your telephone provider for these calls or SMS text messages. As set forth in our Online Security policy, Anthem Connect will never request your credit card information or social security number via telephone or text message.  

If you do not wish to receive these optional calls and SMS text messages, you do not have to do so. Your consent to receiving these calls and SMS text messages is not required in order to purchase or receive any Anthem Connect Services. To revoke your consent to receive telephone calls and SMS text messages, please let Anthem Connect know. The easiest way is by changing your settings in your account, or by calling Anthem Connects Customer Care Team at 1-208-677-8000.  
 

4. ELIGIBILITY FOR SERVICES  

You may apply for the Services online at www.anthemconnectus.com. Although Anthem Connect hopes to make Anthem Connect available to as many people as possible, as quickly as it can, Anthem Connect reserves the right to determine whether any Services are made available to a particular address. If Anthem Connect determines that the address at which you receive Services is not a residential address, Anthem Connect may require you to transition to another type of account in order to continue receiving the Services. This transition may include an increase in any fee for the Services.  
 

5. INSTALLATION 

You agree to provide Anthem Connect with all necessary access to the premises at the address where you sign up for Services to be installed (referred to as “your residence” below) so that the equipment necessary for you to receive the Services may be installed and configured. You agree that Anthem Connect may install equipment on the exterior and interior of your residence (including but not limited to laying underground conduit and/or affixing equipment to the outside of your residence) at any reasonable location. You also agree that Anthem Connect may use, and that you have the necessary permissions to approve Anthem Connects use of, existing facilities, including existing wiring in and around your residence, to complete the installation services and to maintain or upgrade the Services as necessary. 

If you rent or otherwise do not own your residence, you represent and warrant that you are authorized by the property owner to order Anthem Connect installation, and you acknowledge that you may be asked to provide written evidence that you have received all permissions necessary for Anthem  to perform an installation of the Services. If Anthem Connect incurs any costs or losses, including attorneys’ fees, because you did not get the necessary authorization(s) for Anthem Connect to install the equipment required for the Services, you are responsible for reimbursing Anthem Connect for those costs or losses. 

Acceptance of these Terms & Conditions does not guarantee that Anthem Connect will install or provide any Services. We may need a separate agreement or easement with you or your landlord in order to install the Services. 

Note that the Over-the-Air Reception Devices (OTARD) limits what restrictions a landlord, HOA, or other entity can place on your ability to install internet service.  

6. PAYMENT 

You agree to pay any and all applicable fees for the Services you purchase, whether ordered by you, an Authorized User, or any third party with access to the Services pursuant to your Anthem Connect account. 

  • You agree to pay all charges incurred. Charges shall be invoiced monthly and payment shall be due 20 days from the date of the invoice. 
  • You will pay all sales and use taxes, as well as duties or levies, including any long-distance phone charges arising in connection with the Services. 

If any instrument received in payment is returned to Anthem Connect unpaid, your account will be considered to be in default, and in addition to the amount past due and any late payment fees due, you will be subject to any applicable Anthem Connect returned-check charge. You will also be subject to pay Anthem Connect its reasonable expenses, including attorney fees and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights under any Anthem Connect policy.  

7. TERM 

Your contract with Anthem Connect commences upon activation of service by Anthem Connect and remains in effect for the selected rate plan period. If there is a contract in effect, after the term specified in the contract has expired, the connection for the Services will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis at the customer’s current plan rate, unless terminated in accordance with these Terms & Conditions. 

8. TERMINATION 

You may terminate your Anthem Connect services via Open Access Network partnership sites or by engaging with our Customer Experience team via phone or chat accessed by our website. If you agreed to a service plan that had a minimum term commitment and terminates prior to completion of that term, an early termination fee will be applied to the account. The termination fee will be equal to 50% of the monthly plan’s price multiplied by the number of remaining months in the agreement, or the price of installation that was waived at time of signup, whichever is less. Anthem Connect shall have the right to suspend or terminate this agreement at any time without prior notice. You also agree that Anthem Connect has the right to delete all data, files, or other information that resides or is stored on Anthem Connect’s hardware, if your account with Anthem Connect is terminated, for any reason, by either Anthem Connect or you. 

9. EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE  

  1. Anthem Connect shall install equipment and/or software for operation and maintenance of the Services at your location. The equipment and any license fees associated with software installed at your location remains the property of Anthem Connect and will be returned to Anthem Connect within (30) days of service termination. 
  1. You shall be responsible for the use and compatibility of equipment or software not provided by Anthem Connect. If your personal equipment or software impairs your use of the Services, you shall nonetheless be liable for payment of the Services. Upon notice from Anthem Connect that your personal equipment or software is causing or is likely to cause hazard, interference, or service obstruction, you shall immediately cease and desist from using such personal equipment or software. 
  1. You shall pay Anthem Connect to troubleshoot difficulties, repair, or reconfigure equipment or software not provided by Anthem Connect or for issued or damage caused by you. 
  1. You authorize Anthem Connect to install software upgrades on any equipment provided by Anthem Connect. You also agree not to use the Anthem Connect-owned equipment for any purpose other than using the Services. 

10. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF ANTHEM; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

  1. You understand that you and your Authorized Users may access the Internet through the Services.

Under no circumstances shall Anthem Connect or its affiliates or contractors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages that result in any way from your reliance on or use of information, services or merchandise provided on or through the Services.

  1. Anthem Connect has no obligation to monitor the Services. However, you agree that Anthem Connect has the right to monitor the Services electronically from time to time and to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation, or other governmental request, to operate the Services properly, or to protect itself or its customers. Anthem Connect reserves the right to refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, that, in its sole discretion, are unacceptable, undesirable, or in violation of these Terms & Conditions, or any other Anthem Connect policy. 
  1. Anthem Connect reserves the right to limit or restrict your access to the Services in accordance with the Acceptable Use and Fair Use Policy and the Network Management Policy. 
  1. Anthem Connect does not guarantee the actual speeds that customers will experience while using the Services because the actual speed depends on a variety of conditions, many of which are beyond the control of Anthem Connect. Internet speed claims contained in Anthem Connect policies, advertisements, and other sources represent only the maximum speed capabilities and may vary based on many factors. Actual Internet speeds may vary and are not guaranteed. 
  1. Anthem Connect does not guarantee that the Services will be available in every requesting customer’s residential area. Availability varies and speeds may not be available at all service addresses. 

11. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF CUSTOMER 

For purposes of this Section 11, the term “information” means material of any type capable of being posted or transmitted on or through the Services, including material in print, graphic or pictorial form. You shall not restrict or inhibit any other user from accessing and enjoying the Services. You shall not post or transmit any unlawful, obscene or pornographic information of any kind including and not limited to any transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, federal, or international law.

18. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS  

Anthem Connect will provide the Services using a commercially reasonable level of skill and care and hopes that you will enjoy using them. There are certain things that Anthem Connect does not promise about the Services.

IN ALL CASES, ANTHEM CONNECT, AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS, WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT IS NOT REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.
