including, but not limited to, applicable, taxes, customer service fees, late fees and door collection fees. Monthly fees will be billed one month in advance.

If your payment is returned unpaid, you agree to pay a fee of up to $30. Returned checks may be represented electronically. 3. Pricing Policy; CableCARDs. All of our prices are subject to change. Prices and price guarantees for our services exclude taxes, fees and surcharges, however designated, including but not limited to regulatory and franchise fees, PEG fees, regulatory recovery fees (such as the Regulatory Recovery Fee and the Carrier Service Fee), Subscriber Line Charges, Line Access charges and/or Network Line Fees, carrier access fees and/or other access fees, surcharges, excises, program related fees (such as universal service, telecom relay services for the visually/hearing impaired, rights-of-way access, and programs supporting the 911/ E911 system), and separately stated cost recovery fees such as the Broadcast TV Surcharge, the Sports Surcharge and the Channel 6 Surcharge), equipment, installation, service call charges, and pay per view, VOD or other usage-based, or separately billed services and charges., additional equipment, installation, service call and repair charges, late fees and usage-based and separately billed charges (collectively, the “Separate Fees and Charges”). The applicable Subscriber Line Charge, Network Line Fee, Regulatory Recovery Fee and Carrier Service Fee for phone customers will apply and vary depending upon your service location and the phone services to which you subscribe. The Subscriber Line Charge, Network Line Fee, Regulatory Recovery Fee and Carrier Service Fee are not government mandated taxes or fees, and are subject to change. WOW! imposes a Broadcast TV Surcharge on those customers who subscribe (whether alone or as part of a bundle of services) to certain levels of WOW! cable television service. Effective August 1, 2014, WOW! also: (i) imposes a Sports Surcharge on those customers who subscribe (whether alone or as part of a bundle of services) to certain levels of WOW! cable television service. This surcharge offsets a portion of the costs that WOW! pays for sports programming; and (ii) imposes a Channel 6 Surcharge on those customers located in Lawrence, Kansas who subscribe (whether alone or as part of a bundle of services) to certain levels of WOW! cable television service. This surcharge offsets a portion of the costs that WOW! incurs in the production and delivery of Channel 6 programming. These surcharges are not government mandated taxes or fees and are subject to change. The surcharges are in addition to other charges associated with the WOW! cable television services. Customers who participate in a promotional offer with a discount on monthly service fees will revert back to the standard monthly fee for the service at the end of the promotional period, unless the customer’s service is earlier terminated for any reason. Any promotional, discounted or guaranteed price for service applies only to the price of the particular service or services identified, and excludes the Separate Fees and Charges. Not all of the Separate Fees and Charges apply to all services, or in all service locations. WOW! assesses fees for the rental of navigation devices and single and additional CableCARDs, which fees are identified on our website at www.wowway.com and may vary depending upon your service location. We offer a customer equipment discount to customers that supply their own CableCARD enabled device in connection with a “bundle” of WOW! services that combine video service and equipment into a single fee, including a bundled offer of multiple services. The discount is based upon the monthly fee that WOW!

Page 7: Knology d/b/a WOW! Internet, Cable and Phone (“WOW ... · PDF fileKnology d/b/a WOW! Internet, Cable and Phone (“WOW!”) Internet Acceptable Use Policy and Subscriber Agreement;

allocates to the lease of the WOW! equipment included in the offer and so can vary depending upon the type of navigation device and allocated fee. The equipment rental fees are also the amounts that WOW! allocates to the lease of the WOW! equipment included in qualifying bundled offers. For example, if we offer a service bundle for a single fee that includes a Digital Cable Receiver and you choose instead to use your own navigation device, you would be entitled to a customer equipment discount, but we would assess you a fee for each CableCARD that you use. The fees and discount are subject to change. Customer may be charged an additional payment convenience fee for payments made through a customer care representative or at a WOW! payment center. 4. Annual Service Plan Terms. In some areas, WOW! offers an annual service plan, which requires that you commit to purchase services for at least 12 consecutive months. The Annual Service Plan is subject to additional Annual Service Plan terms and conditions (the“ASP Terms), which ASP Terms are incorporated by reference. The complete Annual Service Plan Terms are available at wowway.com, and/or will be provided to you at the time we install your services. The Annual Service Plan is available to new residential customers who have no outstanding obligations to WOW!. You agree that: (i) the Annual Service Plan is subject to the ASP Terms and WOW!’s standard terms and conditions and service policies for the services you subscribe to; (ii) if you subscribe to and pay for the Annual Service Plan for the entire Annual Service Plan term identified in the Plan, monthly pricing for the Annual Service Plan services will not increase during the Annual Service Plan term, but changes can be made to taxes, fees and surcharges as well as prices for other services not included in the Annual Service Plan; (iii) you can terminate the Plan anytime by calling us at the contact phone number on your billing statement, but if the Annual Service Plan or a service that is part of the Plan is terminated (or in some cases, downgraded), after the first 30-days of the term of the Annual Service Plan, you agree to pay for all services that we provided to you through the date of termination plus AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE (ETF) OF UP TO $165 (the amount of the ETF will decrease monthly over the term of the Annual Service Plan). Customer agrees that WOW!’s damages for early termination would be difficult to determine and the termination charges constitute liquidated damages and are not a penalty. The term of the Annual Service Plan will start when the Annual Service Plan services are installed and activated. If you do not terminate the Annual Service Plan within 30-days, you will automatically be billed and the ASP Terms will apply; and (iv) after the Annual Service Plan term expires, WOW! will continue to provide the services to you on a month-to-month basis at our then standard, non-promotional retail pricing for the services. 5.

WOW! grants to you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable and nonassignable license to install and use WOW!'s access software (including software from third party vendors that WOW! distributes, hereinafter referred to as the "Licensed Software"), in order to access and use the Service.

9. PHONE SERVICE LIMITATIONS: FOR TELEPHONE SERVICE THAT REQUIRES A TELEPHONE CABLE MODEM TO RECEIVE TELEPHONE SERVICE, YOUR TELEPHONE SERVICE (INCLUDING ACCESS TO E911 SERVICES) WILL NOT FUNCTION IN THE EVENT OF A NETWORK OR POWER OUTAGE. YOUR SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE FOR A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME IN THE EVENT OF A POWER OUTAGE ONLY IF IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A BACKUP BATTERY OR OTHER POWER SOURCE. NEW RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS CAN AT THEIR OPTION PURCHASE A BACKUP BATTERY FROM WOW! OR A THIRD PARTY. PLEASE CALL US OR CONSULT OUR COMPLETE BACKUP POWER NOTICE THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU FOR BACKUP POWER OPTIONS. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY ALONE AND NOT WOW!’S TO OBTAIN AND INSTALL A BACKUP BATTERY OR OTHER POWER SOURCE AND REGULARLY CHECK THE BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHTS LOCATED ON YOUR EMTA AND TO IMMEDIATELY REPLACE THE BATTERY OR OTHER POWER SOURCE IN THE EVENT THE EMTA INDICATES “REPLACE BATTERY” OR “BATTERY LOW”. IF YOU PURCHASE A BACKUP BATTERY FROM WOW!, THE EXPECTED STAND-BY DURATION OF POWER IS 8 HOURS, BUT THE TALK TIME IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN THAT, SO YOU SHOULD MINIMIZE TALK TIME DURING ANY EXTENDED POWER OUTAGE. THE BATTERY WILL NOT POWER YOUR CORDLESS PHONE (OR YOUR INTERNET SERVICES). FOR BEST RESULTS, BATTERIES SHOULD BE STORED AT TEMPERATURES THAT DO NOT EXCEED 77°F (25°C). IMPROPER STORAGE WILL REDUCE BATTERY LIFE. YOU CAN MONITOR YOUR BATTERY BY CHECKING THE BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHTS ON YOUR MODEM, AND YOU SHOULD PERIODICALLY TEST THE BATTERY BY DISCONNECTING THE SERVICE POWER SOURCE AND ENSURING THAT THE SERVICE STILL FUNCTIONS. New residential customers can request a battery from WOW! when you order service, or by calling us at 1-855-496-9929. The cost is $36.99 plus taxes and any applicable shipping fees, which cost is subject to change. Other retailers may offer a lower price. THERE MAY BE A DELAY IN FULFILLMENT OF BATTERY ORDERS BY WOW!. When our technicians install your service, we will at your request assist with the installation of a battery that you have purchased from sources other than WOW!. If you elect to have backup power installed by us, there may be additional service charges for the backup power installation, and costs of equipment and labor. We provide you with a complete backup power disclosure at the time you order service, which contains additional information about backup power options.

IN ADVANCE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MOVE OR RELOCATE YOUR TELEPHONE SERVICE.

If you would like to be referred to the applicable regulatory authority, please contact us in writing at P.O. Box 756, West Point, Georgia, 31833, Attn: Legal Department. ARBITRATION: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. In the unlikely event that any complaint or problem you have concerning our service is not resolved through our Internal Procedures, described above, we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or an action in the relevant small claims court instead of courts of general jurisdiction. If you would like to be referred to the applicable small claims court, please contact us in writing at P.O. Box 756, West Point, Georgia, 31833, Attn: legal department. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. For any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $10,000, WOW! will pay all fees and administrative costs of "document only" arbitration, as described below. Other than claims pursued through small claims court, or actions for the collection of debts you owe us, all other disputes arising out of or relating to this agreement, including, without limitation, any dispute based on any service or advertising of the service related thereto, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration, which shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (the "FAA"), 9 U.S.C. �1-16 and conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). Any question regarding whether a particular controversy, or any procedural question, is subject to arbitration shall be decided by the arbitrator. You have the right to be represented by counsel in the arbitration. The arbitrator shall be bound by and strictly enforce the terms of this agreement in conducting the arbitration and making any award. The arbitration will be based solely on the written submissions of the parties and the documents submitted relating to the dispute, unless either party request that the arbitration be conducted using the telephonic, on-line, or in-person procedures of the AAA, for which additional charges may apply. Any in- person arbitration will be conducted at a location that the AAA selects in the state in which you receive our service. Arbitrations under this Agreement shall be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. The arbitration of any dispute under this Agreement shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial or consumer, as applicable, arbitration rules and fee schedule of the AAA, as modified by this agreement. The applicable AAA rules shall be those rules which govern the amount and type of dispute involved and which are in effect on the date a dispute is submitted to the AAA. A copy of the applicable arbitration rules is available by writing to us at P.O. Box 756, West Point, Georgia, 31833, Attn: Legal Department. Disputes under this Agreement may not be joined with another proceeding, including any individual or class lawsuit. The arbitrator may not award, and you and we waive any claims for awards for punitive or consequential damages or attorneys' fees or any damages that are barred by this Agreement, unless such damages are expressly authorized by a relevant statute. Any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement must be brought within two (2) years after the basis for the claim first arises, or within such other time period as may be prescribed by relevant statue. Before either party takes a dispute to arbitration, such party must first attempt to resolve the dispute through the Internal Procedures described above. If the dispute remains unresolved sixty (60) days after You notify us of the problem, either You or We may contact the AAA in writing at the AAA Service Center, 2200 Century Parkway, Suite 300, Atlanta, Georgia 30345-3203 and request arbitration.
