Altice makes no warranties with respect to the Equipment or Modem's compatibility with Subscriber provided equipment.
Relocating Equipment: Altice's system is highly sophisticated and sensitive. Any "break" in the integrity of the cable system will subject the system to "ingress" of radio signals, which will disrupt your service and may affect that of others. Cable modems are not "portable" and are not permitted to operate at any location other than the address that appears on the Subscriber's account. Accordingly, Subscriber agrees that Subscriber will not relocate, move or in any way tamper with or relocate the Optimum Online Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of a request by Subscriber, Altice shall relocate the Optimum Online Service for Subscriber within Subscriber's home at a time mutually agreed to by Altice and Subscriber. If the Subscriber moves residences outside of Altice's service area, Subscriber shall notify Altice that this Agreement shall be terminated and the provisions of Section 14 shall apply to such termination.

1. Altice reserves the right to protect the integrity of its network and resources by any means it deems appropriate. This includes but is not limited to: port blocking, email virus scanning, denying email from certain domains, and putting limits on bandwidth and email.
2. Subscriber is solely responsible for any misuse of the Optimum Online Service or the Services, as well as for the security of any device you choose to connect to the Optimum Online Service, including any data stored on that device, all as detailed more fully in the Acceptable Use Policy.
3. Subscriber is solely responsible for maintaining the security of Subscriber's computer(s), devices and data, including without limitation, encryption of data and protection of Subscriber's Optimum ID, password and personal and other data. If Subscriber believes his/her login credentials have been lost or stolen, or that someone has gained access to his/her account or login credentials without Subscriber's permission, please contact us at [email protected].
Arbitration: Except as noted below under "Excepted Claims," any and all disputes arising between You and Altice, including its respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, predecessors, and successors, shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis in accordance with this Arbitration Provision.
Resolving Your dispute with Altice through arbitration means You will have a fair hearing before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court before a judge or jury. YOU AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND Altice EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION.
IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU MUST NOTIFY Altice IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT BY EMAILING US AT [email protected] OR BY MAIL TO Altice RESEARCH & SUPPORT, 200 JERICHO QUADRANGLE, JERICHO, NY 11753 ATTN. ARBITRATION. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION TO Altice MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND Altice ACCOUNT NUMBER AS WELL AS A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH Altice THROUGH ARBITRATION. YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL HAVE NO ADVERSE EFFECT ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH Altice OR THE DELIVERY OF Altice SERVICES TO YOU. OPTING OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION HAS NO EFFECT ON ANY PREVIOUS, OTHER, OR FUTURE ARBITRATION AGREEMENTS THAT YOU MAY HAVE WITH Altice.
Because the Service(s) provided to You involves interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), not state arbitration law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes under this Arbitration Provision. Any state statutes pertaining to arbitration shall not be applicable. You and Altice agree that applicable state law or federal law shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, the substance of all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between You and Altice.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043, under the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, as modified by this Arbitration Provision. You may obtain copies of those rules from the AAA at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If the AAA will not enforce this Arbitration Provision as written, it cannot serve as the arbitration organization to resolve Your dispute. If this situation arises, or if the AAA for any reason cannot serve as the arbitration organization, the parties shall agree on a substitute arbitration organization or ad hoc arbitration, which will enforce this Arbitration Provision as to the dispute. If the parties are unable to agree, the parties shall mutually petition a court of appropriate jurisdiction to appoint an arbitration organization or ad hoc arbitrator that will enforce this Arbitration Provision as written. If there is a conflict between this Arbitration Provision and the AAA rules, this Arbitration Provision shall govern.
A single arbitrator will resolve the dispute between You and Altice. Participation in arbitration may result in limited discovery. The arbitrator will honor claims of privilege recognized by law and will take reasonable steps to protect confidential or proprietary information, including subscriber personally identifiable information.
All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, or the interpretation of its prohibitions of class, representative, and private attorney general proceedings and non-individualized relief shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. The Arbitrator is limited and bound by terms of this Arbitration Provision. Although the arbitrator shall be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same customer to the extent required by applicable law, the arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in other arbitrations involving different customers. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. An award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement. Unless the parties agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a location convenient to You in the area where You receive the Service(s). If the amount in dispute is less than $50,000, Altice agrees that You may choose whether the arbitration is conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by AAA rules.
If the amount in dispute exceeds $75,000 or the claim seeks any form of injunctive relief, either party may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by AAA by a written notice of appeal within thirty (30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award. An award of injunctive relief shall be stayed during any such appeal. The members of the three-arbitrator panel will be selected according to AAA rules. The three-arbitrator panel will issue its decision within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of the appealing party's notice of appeal. The decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding, subject to any right of judicial review that exists under the FAA. You agree that if You fail to notify Altice in writing within one (1) year of the date of the occurrence of the event or facts giving rise to a dispute, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, You waive the right to pursue, in any forum, including arbitration or court, a claim based upon such event, facts or dispute.
Altice will pay all arbitration filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for arbitrations that it commences. If You commence an arbitration, You will be responsible for paying a portion of arbitration fees as follows: If You are seeking relief valued at up to $1,000, Your share of such fees shall be capped at $25, and if You commence an arbitration seeking relief valued at between $1,001 and $10,000, Your share of such fees shall be capped at $100. If You commence an arbitration seeking relief valued at greater than $10,000, arbitration filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees shall be allocated in accordance with the AAA rules. If You cannot pay Your share of these fees, You may request a fee waiver from the AAA. In addition, Altice will consider reimbursing Your share of these fees if You indicate You cannot afford them and, if appropriate, will pay directly all such fees upon Your written request prior to the commencement of the arbitration. You are responsible for all additional costs and expenses that You incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys' or expert witness fees and expenses, unless the arbitrator determines that applicable law requires Altice to pay those costs and expenses.
If the arbitrator concludes that Your claim is frivolous or has been brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the AAA rules shall govern the allocation of arbitration fees, and You agree to reimburse Altice for any amounts Altice may have paid on Your behalf. In addition, in such cases, the arbitrator shall have the same discretion that a court would have to require You to pay Altice's attorneys' fees and expenses. If Altice is the claimant, the arbitrator shall have the same discretion to require Altice to pay Your attorneys' fees and expenses if the arbitrator concludes that Altice's claim is frivolous or has been brought for an improper purpose.

YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATE YOUR DISPUTE AND TO DO SO ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, AND PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATIONS AND ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. You and Altice agree that each party may bring claims against the other only in Your or its individual capacity and may not participate as a class member or serve as a named plaintiff in any purported class, representative, or private attorney general proceeding. This Arbitration Provision does not permit and explicitly prohibits the arbitration of consolidated, class, or representative disputes of any form. In addition, although the arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other Altice account holders, neither You nor Altice may seek, nor may the arbitrator award, non-individualized relief that would affect other account holders. Further, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person's claims unless all parties affirmatively agree in writing.

If any of the prohibitions in the preceding paragraph is held to be unenforceable as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and brought in court. In that instance, or any instance when a claim between You and Altice proceeds to court rather than through arbitration, You and Altice each waive the right to any trial by jury through this Agreement.
If any other portion of this Arbitration Provision is determined to be unenforceable, then the remainder of this Arbitration Provision shall be given full force and effect. The terms of the Arbitration Provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Excepted Claims" shall mean claims by either party relating to a party's intellectual property rights or to the unauthorized use, theft, or piracy of Altice products or services. In addition, either You or Altice may bring claims in small claims court in Your jurisdiction, if that court has jurisdiction over the parties and the action and the claim complies with the prohibitions on class, representative, and private attorney general proceedings and non-individualized relief discussed above. You may also bring issues to the attention of federal, state, and local executive or administrative agencies.

Additional Terms of Service for Optimum-provided Wireless Router and Wireless Access Point:
The Optimum provided wireless router ("Optimum Router") is a service available to certain Subscribers and provides wireless access to the Optimum Online Service within the Subscriber's service location ("Local Network"). Subscriber has the option of returning the Optimum Router and purchasing and using their own router. The Optimum Router comes programmed with certain default settings and configurations for the Local Network. Subscribers may modify certain of the default settings and configurations on the Optimum Router although Altice recommends maintaining the default configuration and settings. Altice does not guarantee the security of the Optimum Router and Subscriber's connection to Optimum Online Services via the Local Network. Subscriber understands and agrees that Subscriber is solely responsible for the security of his/her Local Network. The Optimum Router is preconfigured to distribute a second wireless network (i.e. an Optimum WiFi Hotspot) in addition to the Local Network. This Optimum WiFi Hotspot is separate from the Local Network and is accessible by certain authorized Optimum WiFi users. The Local Network is encrypted and has separate security settings from the Optimum WiFi Hotspot. Subscriber understands that simultaneous connections to both the Local Network and the Optimum WiFi Hotspot may not be available and that after a device is connected to the Local Network, the primary connection for the Subscriber and any devices using Subscriber's login credentials, while in the service location, is to the Local Network. Any use of bandwidth from such wireless access point by third parties, will not be considered to be use by the Subscriber for any purpose. The Optimum Router will collect and maintain certain information regarding access to and use of the Local Network, which information shall include but not be limited to device identifiers, device name, device type, applications and protocols, connections, and traffic flows. Such information will be used by Altice to provide Optimum Online Services and support as well as for Altice's internal business analytics regarding the use of the Optimum Online Services. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Altice shall have access to the password associated with the Optimum Router in order to provide support and diagnostic services. Altice reserves the right to modify the password for the Optimum Router in order to safeguard Internet security, the security and privacy of Subscriber information, where required by law, and/or for other good cause to provide, upgrade and maintain the Optimum Online Services, and protect the network, other users of the Internet, or our Subscribers. Altice shall notify Subscriber of any such password modifications. Subscriber acknowledges that the Optimum Router is Altice Equipment.
Information Regarding Smart Router Range Extenders and Fiber Gateway WiFi Extenders:
In certain circumstances, determined in Altice's sole discretion, either a Smart Router range extender ("Router Range Extender") or fiber gateway WiFi extender ("Gateway Extender) (each, an Extender") may be required to connect wirelessly to Optimum Online services. In these circumstances, Altice will professionally install an Extender connection directly to the Optimum Smart Router or Fiber Gateway, in an area appropriate for the specific service location as determined in Altice's sole discretion. Subscriber agrees to provide Altice with access to the service location to perform such installation. A monthly Extender equipment fee applies. Router Range Extender is only available to Optimum Smart Router customers. Gateway WiFi Extender is only available to Optimum Fiber Gateway customers.
Subscriber understands and agrees that where a Router Range Extender is required, the Optimum-recommended installation method is through a wired connection directly to the Optimum Smart Router. Subscriber understands and agrees that wireless Router Range Extender installations are not recommended by Altice and such wireless installations may not successfully resolve any or all wireless signal strength and/or wireless signal range-related issues (issue list not exhaustive). Altice continues to recommend a wired installation to best resolve wireless connectivity issues within your service location.
