(a) Arbitration for Resolution of Disputes. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY OR THROUGH A CLASS ACTION. YOU CONTINUE TO HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS TO OBTAIN RELIEF FROM A FEDERAL OR STATE REGULATORY AGENCY.
(b) Binding Arbitration. The arbitration process established by this section is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), 9 U.S.C. 1-16. The FAA, not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between Insight regarding this Agreement and the Service. You have the right to take any dispute that qualifies to small claims court rather than arbitration. However, all other disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) must be resolved by final and binding arbitration, unless provided otherwise in this Agreement. This includes any dispute based on any product, service or advertising having a connection with this Agreement and any dispute not finally resolved by a small claims court. The arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator using the procedures described by this Section. If any portion of this Dispute Resolution Section is determined to be unenforceable, then the remainder shall be given full force and effect. The provisions of this section shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of this Agreement.
(c) The Arbitrator. A single arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). The arbitration will be conducted under the applicable procedures and rules of the AAA that are in effect on the date the arbitration is filed unless this Section is inconsistent with those procedures and rules, in which case, this Section will prevail. These procedures and rules may limit the amount of discovery available to Customer or Insight. The arbitrator will apply applicable statutes of limitation, will honor claims of privilege recognized by law, and will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential or proprietary information, including the use of protective orders to prohibit disclosure outside the arbitration, if requested to do so by Customer or Insight. The arbitrator will make any award in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Upon a request by Customer or Insight, the arbitrator will provide a brief statement of the reasons for the award. An award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties.
(d) Amount of Dispute. The arbitration of any dispute involving $10,000 or less shall be conducted in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, which are in effect on the date a dispute is submitted to the AAA. The AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules and fee schedules will apply to any disputes in excess of $10,000. You have the right to be represented by counsel in arbitration. In conducting the arbitration and making any award, the arbitrator shall be bound by and strictly enforce the terms of this Agreement and may not limit, expand, or otherwise modify its terms.
(e) No Class Action or Consolidated Proceedings. NO DISPUTE MAY BE JOINED WITH ANOTHER LAWSUIT, OR IN AN ARBITRATION WITH A DISPUTE OF ANY OTHER PERSON. All parties to the arbitration must be individually named. THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS ACTION OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC (SUCH AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL), OTHER SUBSCRIBERS, OR OTHER PERSONS SIMILARLY SITUATED. Customer understands and acknowledges that by consenting to submit claims to arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, Customer may be forfeiting his or her right to share in any class action awards. This Section will not apply to any individual claims filed by Customer in a lawsuit prior to the effective date of this Agreement, nor to the claims of a class certified prior to the effective date of this Agreement. This Section will apply to all other claims, including class claims where a class has not yet been certified, even if the facts and circumstances upon which the claims are based occurred or existed before the effective date of this Agreement.
(f) Limitation of Available Damages. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT AWARD DAMAGES THAT ARE NOT EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND SUPPORTED BY ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE, AND MAY NOT AWARD PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR ATTORNEYS' FEES, UNLESS SUCH DAMAGES ARE EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED BY A STATUTE. YOU AND INSIGHT BOTH WAIVE ANY CLAIMS FOR AN AWARD OF DAMAGES THAT ARE EXCLUDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT LIMITS THE ARBITRATOR'S AUTHORITY TO AWARD DAMAGES THAT ARE THE DIRECT RESULT OF INSIGHT'S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in this subsection, should it become necessary to resort to court proceedings to enforce a party's compliance with the dispute resolution and arbitration process set forth herein, and the court directs, orders or otherwise requires compliance herewith, then all of the costs and expenses, including its reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the party requesting such enforcement shall be reimbursed by the non-complying party to the requesting party. This Section does not prevent either party from seeking interim injunctive relief from a court in order to preserve the status quo or to protect assets until the arbitration has been commenced and the arbitrator has an opportunity to consider the matter of interim relief.
(g) Arbitration Information and Filing Procedures. Before Customer submits a dispute to arbitration or to small claims court, the Customer must first contact our customer account representatives at the customer service number on your Insight bill for the Insight Broadband High-Speed Broadband Internet Service and give us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. Similarly, before Insight takes a dispute to arbitration, we must first attempt to resolve it by contacting you. If the dispute cannot be satisfactorily resolved within sixty days from the date you or Insight is notified by the other of a dispute, then either party may then contact the AAA in writing at AAA Service Center, 335 Madison Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10017 and request arbitration of the dispute. Information about the arbitration process and the AAA's Arbitration Rules and its fees are available from the AAA on the Internet at http://www.adr.org/. The arbitration will be based only on the written submissions of the parties and the documents submitted to the AAA relating to the dispute, unless either party requests that the arbitration be conducted using the AAA's telephonic, on-line, or in-person procedures. Additional charges may apply for these procedures. Any in-person arbitration will be conducted at a location that the AAA selects in the state of your primary residence. Any arbitration shall remain confidential. Neither you nor Insight may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration or award, except as may be required by law, to confirm and enforce an award, or to the party's attorneys and/or accountants.
(h) Fees and Expenses of Arbitration. Customer must pay the applicable AAA filing fee when submitting a written request for arbitration to the AAA. The AAA's filing fee and administrative expenses for a document arbitration will be allocated according to the AAA's Rules. If you elect an arbitration process other than a document (or "desk") arbitration, you must pay your allocated share of any higher administrative fees and costs for the process you select. Unless applicable substantive law provides otherwise, each party will pay its own expenses to participate in the arbitration, including attorneys' fees and expenses for witnesses, document production and presentation of evidence. The prevailing party may, however, seek to recover the AAA's fees and the expenses of the arbitrator from the other party.
(i) Limitation of Claims. ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE DATE THE BASIS FOR THE CLAIM OR DISPUTE FIRST ARISES.
(j) Governing Law. NEW YORK LAW (EXCLUDING ITS CHOICE OF LAW RULES) WILL APPLY TO THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(k) Authorized Claims. Insight and third parties who contribute to the Insight Broadband High-Speed Broadband Internet Service may bring claims against you for violations of this Agreement.
(l) Controlling Text. The words of this Agreement, not the conduct between us or any trade practice, will control what the Agreement means.
(m) Enforcement of the Agreement. Insight's decision not to enforce a particular provision of this Agreement does not mean that we waive the right to enforce it. We will only waive such a right in writing.
(a) Termination by Customer. Customer may terminate this Agreement for any reason at any time by providing Insight with at least twenty-four hours advance notice. Customer may provide notice by calling or delivering a written termination notice to Insight's Customer Service department during normal operating hours. Disconnect and other termination fees and charges may apply depending on Customer's subscription terms, including subscriptions for fixed time or as part of a promotion or special rate. In the event of such a termination, any applicable fees and charges will accrue through the date of termination. All prepaid monthly service fees for Service not received will be refunded or applied to offset termination fees or charges owed by Customer to Insight.
(b) Termination by Insight. Insight may terminate this Agreement immediately at any time, without prior notice, if (i) Customer or a User fails to fully comply with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) Customer or a User fails to fully comply with any terms or conditions applicable to other services the Customer receives from Insight; or (iii) for any other reason (with or without cause). If Insight terminates this Agreement due to a violation of this Agreement or Insight's policies, Customer may be subject to additional fees and charges, including disconnect and termination fees, and we may also exercise other rights and remedies. In the event Insight terminates the Service for any reason other than for a violation of this Agreement or Insight's policies, any fees and charges will accrue through the date of termination and any prepaid monthly service fees for Service not received will be refunded.
(c) Customer Obligations Upon Termination. Customer agrees that upon termination of this Agreement:
(i) Customer immediately will cease use of the Service and Equipment.
(ii) Customer will pay in full for Customer's use of the Service and the Equipment up to the later of the effective date of termination of this Agreement, the date on which the Service and the Equipment have been disconnected, or the date when the Equipment has been returned to us. Customer agrees to pay on a pro-rated basis for any use by Customer of the Service for a part of a month.
(iii) Customer agrees to make prompt arrangements to return the Equipment. Service charges may continue to accrue in accordance with applicable law until all Insight Equipment is returned. Customer shall return to Insight the Equipment by any method reasonably requested by Insight, within 10 days after termination of the Agreement.
(iv) Upon Insight's request, Customer will permit Insight, its employees, agents, contractors, and/or representatives, to access Customer's premises during regular business hours to remove the Equipment. Such removal will be conducted at an agreed to time; and Customer will ensure the return of all Equipment to Insight. If any Equipment is not returned, is returned damaged or is only partially returned, Customer agrees that Insight may charge Customer the full manufacturer's suggested retail price for a replacement of any such Equipment, including any incidental costs incurred by Insight relating to the Equipment replacement, to Customer's account or Customer's credit or debit card on file with Insight (if applicable).
(d) Retention of Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to limit Insight's rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
(e) Survival. All representations, warranties, indemnifications and limitations of liability contained in this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement, as well as any other obligations of the parties hereunder which, by their terms, would be expected to survive such termination or which relate to the period prior to termination (including legal conditions, payment, dispute resolution terms, limitations on actions and our rights and the rights of others).
FURTHERMORE, THE SERVICE AND THE EQUIPMENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS, AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. NEITHER INSIGHT, ITS AFFILIATES NOR ANY THIRD PARTIES WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SERVICE WARRANT THAT ANY CONNECTION TO, TRANSMISSION OVER, OR RESULTS OF THE EQUIPMENT OR THE SERVICE WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENTS OR WILL PROVIDE UNINTERRUPTED USE OR WILL OPERATE AS REQUIRED, UNINTERUPTED OR ERROR FREE. CUSTOMER'S SOLE REMEDY FOR SERVICE INTERRUPTION SHALL BE LIMITED TO A PRORATED CREDIT UPON REQUEST ONLY IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE OF THE SERVICE DUE TO A TECHNICAL MALFUNCTION BEYOND THE CONTROL OF INSIGHT FOR TWENTY-FOUR (24) CONSECUTIVE HOURS OR MORE. TO QUALIFY FOR SUCH CREDIT, CUSTOMER MUST REQUEST THE CREDIT FROM INSIGHT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE FAILURE. CREDITS SHALL BE APPLIED ONLY AGAINST FUTURE FEES PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER FOR THE SERVICE.
NO INFORMATION, ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS, SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS OR ADVICE GIVEN OUTSIDE OF THIS AGREEMENT BY INSIGHT, ITS AFFILATES, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUPPLIERS SHALL CREATE ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY.
(b) YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY.YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AND OF YOUR SERVICE ACCOUNT.

IF YOU LIVE IN A STATE WHOSE LAWS PREVENT YOU FROM TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW. IN NO EVENT SHALL INSIGHT'S LIABILITY OR THE LIABILITY OF THIRD PARTIES WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SERVICE EXCEED (1) FOR INJURY TO PROPERTY OR PERSON CAUSED BY OUR WILLFUL OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, THE AMOUNT OF DIRECT DAMAGES TO THE PROPERTY OR PERSON, OR (2) FOR ALL OTHER CLAIMS, ACTIONS OR DAMAGES PERMITTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OUR SERVICE CHARGES DURING THE AFFECTED PERIOD.
(c) YOUR AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFICATION. MISUSE OR CERTAIN USE OF THE SERVICE MAY RESULT IN CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES AGAINST INSIGHT.

(k) SOLE REMEDY. User's sole and exclusive remedies under this Agreement are as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, and some states do not allow the limitations or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so certain of the above exclusions may not apply. In such states, the liability of Insight and its affiliates is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
(b) No Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement will create any joint venture, joint employer, franchisee-franchisor, employer-employee or principal-agent relationship between Insight and any Content, backbone, network, circuit and other technology or communications providers, software and other licensors, hardware and equipment suppliers or other third party providers of elements of the Service, nor impose upon any such companies any obligations for any losses, debts or other obligations incurred by the other.

In the event that any portion of this Agreement, and/or its components, is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties and the remainder of the provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Insight's failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provision of this Agreement.
