IV. Commercial Terms

Minimum Terms

Your service order indicates whether you have agreed to a minimum service term for your service and, if so, the number of months in the term. YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE IF YOU CANCEL SERVICES BEFORE THE END OF THE MINIMUM SERVICE TERM (OR IF WE TERMINATE YOUR SERVICE EARLY FOR CAUSE UNDER THE AGREEMENT). The Early Termination Fee, as noted on your broadband agreement

• If your service plan does not include a minimum service term or, if it does and you reach the end of the minimum service term, your service term will be “month-to-month” and will not be subject to an Early Termination Fee if you cancel your service.
• If your service term is month-to-month, NCTC can change the price of your service by providing you at least one billing cycle’s notice of the change.

Changing or Canceling Service

• If you cancel your service, in addition to any applicable Early Termination Fee, you must pay for your use of the service up until the date on which you cancelled, including charges for exceeding any data cap that applied to your account, and applicable taxes.
• If, during the minimum service term, you decide to change to another NCTC service plan (for example, one with different rates or usage allowances) or to add additional services, such as international roaming, to your plan, then NCTC has the right to restart the minimum service term from the beginning of the change in plan or addition of service.
• If, during the minimum service term, NCTC changes the terms of your service and the changes are materially disadvantageous to you, you may terminate the service without paying an Early Termination Fee by providing written notice to NCTC within 30 days of the effective date of the change.
