DISCLAIMER REGARDING PROGRAMMING CONTENT OR CHANGES

The Subscriber shall not hold Cincinnati Bell responsible nor liable for programming content, 

nor for any changes, additions, or deletions in its programming or time schedule associated 

therewith. Cincinnati Bell shall give Subscriber at least thirty (30) days advance, written 

notice before removing a channel from the programming lineup except if such removal is 

caused by circumstances beyond Cincinnati Bell’s control.

SCOPE

A copy of the rates, rules and regulations under which CATV service will be supplied is open 

to inspection by the general public at the office of Cincinnati Bell. A hard copy of Cincinnati 

Bell’s rules and regulations and applicable rate schedule shall be furnished to each 

Subscriber without charge, upon request.

INTERRUPTION OR DISCONTINUANCE OF SERVICE DUE TO USE OF NON-CINCINNATI 

BELL FACILITIES

In order to provide service, Cincinnati Bell shall occasionally make use of poles owned in 

whole or in part by other utilities, both power and telephone, the continued use of which is 

in no way guaranteed. In the event the continued use of such poles is denied for any reason, 

Cincinnati Bell will make every reasonable effort to provide service over alternative routes 

and facilities. The Subscriber agrees that he will make no claims or undertake any action 

against any utility, including Cincinnati Bell, if the service provided to the Subscriber is 

interrupted or discontinued for this reason.

LOCATION OF OVERHEAD FACILITIES

Unusual circumstances to the contrary, Cincinnati Bell’s overhead CATV service drop to the 

Subscriber premises shall be located as closely to the point of electrical service attachment 

as is safe and practicable.

OUTAGES & INTERRUPTIONS

Cincinnati Bell will restore CATV service to its Subscribers within seventy-two (72) hours 

after a Subscriber reports a service interruption or other problem when such problem is 

found to be the fault of Cincinnati Bell’s system and/or equipment, provided the cause is 

not a natural disaster. If the service interruption is caused by Cincinnati Bell and lasts for 

more than four (4) hours in a given twenty-four (24) hour period, Cincinnati Bell will give the 

Subscriber a credit for each day that the Subscriber is without service.

In the event Cincinnati Bell dispatches any of its personnel to investigate any Subscriber 

complaint or outage, and the problem is determined to be caused by the Subscriber’s 

television receiver or other Subscriber-owned facilities or equipment, the Subscriber may be 

charged the cost of time and transportation, but in no event shall said charge be less than 

$14.95.

REPRODUCTION OF PROGRAMMING

The Subscriber shall not record or tape any of the programming provided by Cincinnati Bell, 

nor shall the Subscriber allow any other person to do so, except for the personal use of the 

Subscriber. Subscriber agrees that the programs and other services provided by Cincinnati 

Bell will be utilized solely for Subscriber’s personal, non-commercial use and will not be 

duplicated except in compliance with applicable law.

RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES – BINDING ARBITRATION

Please read this section carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides 

for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. 

Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This 

arbitration clause shall survive termination of this agreement.

i. Binding Arbitration

This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims 

arising out of our relationship. Any dispute or claim, including those against any of our 

subsidiary, parent, or affiliate companies, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, 

our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, or the CATV Service or any equipment used 

in connection with the CATV Service (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud , 

misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration except 

that (1) you may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a 

court, or (2) you or we may choose to pursue claims in court if the claims relate solely to the 

collection of any debts you owe to us.

ii. Arbitration Procedures

You must first present any claim or dispute to us by contacting Customer Care to allow us 

an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute 

cannot be resolved within 60 days. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be resolved 

by binding arbitration administered by JAMS (formerly known as Judicial Arbitration and 

Mediation Services, Inc.) under its rules and procedures in effect when the claim is filed. 

The rules and procedures and other information, including information on fees, may be 

obtained from JAMS’ website (www.jamsadr.com) or by calling JAMS at 949-224-1810. 

You and we agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce 

and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the 

Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any 

arbitration will take place in the county seat for the county in which your billing address is
