Understanding Comcast's Contract

For more information on consumer contract basics, check out Nolo.com’s overview

• Who are the parties to the contract?
  • Consumer agreements are generally between the consumer and the company, including any subsidiaries, assignees, or agents of the company
  • In certain instances, the “consumer” label will be extended to third parties
    • For example, if a guest in your house uses your television they can also be bound by your contract with your cable provider
• How do I accept the contract?
  • Consumer agreements are typically accepted by simply using or paying for the service or product
  • The consumer is presumed to have read and understood the agreement once accepted
• What am I accepting in the contract?
  • Each consumer agreement is unique, but they commonly include these sections:
    • Services → outlines the company’s obligations towards the consumer
    • Charges → outlines the consumer’s financial obligations towards the company
    • Privacy Information → outlines the personal data that the company may collect from you, how it will be used, and any options for the consumer
    • Termination → outlines the circumstances which allow the company to end the relationship
      • Many consumer agreements allow the company to terminate the relationship at any time for any reason
    • Limitations of Liability → limits the amount of exposure a company faces in the event a claim is made by the consumer
      • Governed by applicable law and will not apply if contrary to it
      • Often limits the kind of damages the consumer can seek
      • Common terms found within this section:
        • Indemnification → in the consumer context, indemnity protects companies from harms that they did not cause

For example, it may release the company from any liability caused by the consumer or a third party.

• • • • • Statute of limitations → defines the amount of time a consumer has to bring a claim after the harm is suffered
        • Must comply with applicable law
        • Severability → if some of the terms are held to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder will still apply
    • Dispute Resolution → outlines the process that either party can take against the other to hold them legally accountable for a harm that has been suffered
      • Most consumer agreements require mandatory arbitration
      • Arbitration is a process in which the parties submit their dispute to a third-party arbitrator and they issue a decision
      • The consumer agreement will often define the mandatory arbitration process, including the rules, governing law, fee structure, and location
      • Agreeing to mandatory arbitration means a consumer waives their right to litigate the case through class action or a jury trial
      • Some consumer agreements have opt-out provisions that allow consumers to pursue claims in court if they notify the company within a certain amount of days after accepting the agreement

CHARGES AND BILLINGS

YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY GOVERNMENT IMPOSED FEES AND TAXES, WHETHER IMPOSED ON YOU OR US, THAT BECOME APPLICABLE RETROACTIVELY. We will provide you with notice of applicable pricing contemporaneous with your order and/or activation, including information regarding standard pricing applicable at the end of a promotion via our rate card or other notice. We will provide you with notice of any change in our standard prices or fees or new prices or fees, unless the change in price or new fee is related to a change in governmental or quasi-governmental taxes, fees, or assessments, in which case we may elect not to provide notice except where required by applicable law.

For Internet. Internet price information and additional terms are available at https://www.xfinity.com/policies (or an alternative site if we notify you).

For Voice. Voice price information and additional terms are available at https://www.xfinity.com/policies and https://www.xfinity.com/corporate/about/phonetermsofservice/phonetermsofservice (or an alternative site if we notify you).

For Minimum Term Agreements. If you have agreed to a minimum term agreement, your price for Service(s) will be as specified for the duration of the minimum term agreement.

b. How We Will Bill You. Unless you are subject to a minimum term, Service(s) are provided to you on a month-to-month basis. You will be billed monthly, in advance, for recurring Service charges, equipment charges, and fees. YOU MUST PAY THE FIRST MONTH’S SERVICE CHARGES, XFINITY EQUIPMENT CHARGES, DEPOSITS, ACTIVATION FEES AND INSTALLATION CHARGES ON OR BEFORE THE DAY WE INSTALL ANY OR ALL OF THE SERVICE(S). You may be billed for some Service(s) individually after they have been provided to you; these may include, but are not limited to, measured and per-call charges (as explained below) and charges for pay-per-view movies or events, interactive television, and e-commerce. If you receive Service(s) under a promotion, after the promotional period ends, regular charges for the Service(s) will apply. You should consult our rate card for standard/regular charges. We do not waive our rights to collect the full balance owed to us by accepting partial payment. We will apply the partial payment to outstanding charges in amounts and in the order we determine in our sole discretion.

For Voice. If you pay a flat monthly fee for your calling plan, that fee may not cover certain types of calls. You will be billed for these excluded call types on a per-call basis (e.g., operator services) or a measured basis (e.g., international calls). See http://www.xfinity.com/corporate/about/phonetermsofservice/phonetermsofservice for information on per-call charges and the timing of measured-call charges. If your usage charges for Voice exceed typical residential usage charges, we may: (i) require you to make advance payments for Voice, which we may offset against any unpaid balance on your account; (ii) establish a credit limit for usage charges for Voice and/or features; and/or (iii) restrict Voice or features. If you exceed your credit limit, we reserve the right to suspend Voice and require payment for usage charges assessed to your account. Our paper bills for Voice contain only a summary of charges. Detailed information is available for a limited period at a password-protected portion of our website. You may call 1-800-XFINITY for a paper copy of outbound toll call records related to your most recent bill. There may be an additional charge for these copies except where prohibited by applicable law.

c. Third-Party Charges That Are Your Responsibility. You may incur charges with third-party service providers such as for accessing on-line services, calling parties who charge for their telephone-based services, purchasing or subscribing to other offerings via the Internet or interactive options on your TV Service that are separate and apart from the amounts charged by us. You are solely responsible for all such charges payable to third parties, including all applicable taxes.

d. Alternative Billing Arrangements. We may agree to provide billing services on behalf of third parties. Any such third-party charges shall be payable pursuant to any contract or other arrangement between you and the third party. We will not be responsible for any dispute regarding these charges between you and such third party.

e. Payment by Credit Card or Check. Use of any credit card to pay for the Service(s) is governed by the applicable card issuer agreement. If we do not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agents, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand. If you pay by check, you authorize us to collect your check electronically. You agree that you may not amend or modify this Agreement with any restrictive endorsements (such as “paid in full”), or other statements or releases on or accompanying checks or other payments accepted by us and any such notations shall have no legal effect.

f. Our Remedies if You Pay Late or Fail to Pay. You may be billed fees, charges, and assessments related to late or non-payments if for any reason we do not receive payment for full amounts billed to you by the due date.

Late or Non-Payments:

For Maryland Residents. YOU WILL BE ASSESSED A LATE FEE OF 10% PER MONTH FOR ANY AMOUNT THAT HAS NOT BEEN PAID IN FULL AFTER 45 DAYS FROM THE DATE THE INVOICE WAS SENT, EXCEPT IN GARRETT AND ALLEGANY COUNTIES AND HANCOCK, MD. No more than three (3) monthly late fees will be imposed for any single payment amount that is past due, regardless of the period during which the payment remains past due.

For Garrett and Allegany County, Maryland Residents. YOU WILL BE ASSESSED A LATE FEE OF $4.95 PER MONTH FOR EACH ACCOUNT THAT HAS NOT BEEN PAID IN FULL AFTER 45 DAYS FROM THE DATE THE INVOICE WAS SENT.

For Hancock, Maryland Residents. YOU WILL BE ASSESSED A LATE FEE OF $2.00 PER MONTH FOR EACH ACCOUNT THAT HAS NOT BEEN PAID IN FULL AFTER 45 DAYS FROM THE DATE THE INVOICE WAS SENT.

Fees Not Considered Interest or Penalties: We do not anticipate that you will fail to pay on a timely basis, and we do not extend credit to customers. Any fees, charges, and assessments due to late payment or nonpayment are liquidated damages intended to be a reasonable estimate of our costs resulting from late payments and non-payments. These costs will be difficult to calculate or to predict when we set such fees, charges, and assessments, because we cannot know in advance: (a) whether you will pay on a timely basis, if ever; (b) if you do pay late, when you will actually pay; and (c) what costs we will incur because of your late payment or non-payment.

Collection Costs: If we use a collection agency or attorney to collect money owed by you, you agree to pay the reasonable costs of collection, including, but not limited to, any collection agency fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and arbitration or court costs. If you change your telephone number or other contact information without notifying us of such change, you agree that you will be responsible for all costs (including attorneys’ fees) and liabilities incurred by us or our collection agent as a result of any attempt to collect any debt through the telephone number or contact information you provided, including any costs or liabilities associated with misdirected calls.

Suspension/Disconnect: If you fail to pay the full amount due for any or all charges then we, at our sole discretion in accordance with and subject to applicable law, may suspend or disconnect any or all the Service(s) you receive without a reduction in the fee or charges for the Service(s).

g. Reconnection Fees and Related Charges. If you resume Service(s) after any suspension as described, we may require you to pay additional installation or activation fees. These fees are in addition to all past due charges and other fees. Reconnection of the Service(s) is subject to our credit policies, this Agreement and applicable law.

h. Our Right to Make Credit Inquiries. YOU AUTHORIZE US TO MAKE INQUIRIES AND TO RECEIVE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CREDIT EXPERIENCE FROM OTHERS, TO ENTER THIS INFORMATION IN YOUR FILE, AND TO DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION TO APPROPRIATE THIRD PARTIES FOR REASONABLE BUSINESS PURPOSES. We will not discriminate in the application of our credit inquiries and deposit policy on the basis of race, color, sex, creed, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, or marital status. Any risk assessments conducted by either us or by third party credit bureaus will be done in conformance with all applicable laws. We reserve the right to make credit inquiries even after having received a deposit from you with respect to our Services(s).

i. Your Responsibilities Concerning Billing Questions. Subject to applicable law, if you intend to dispute a charge or request a billing credit, you must contact us within 120 days of the date on the bill or you waive any such disputes or credits.

For Sacramento, California Customers. Billing errors or other requests for credit must be brought to our attention within 120 days of the time you receive the bill for which you are seeking correction, unless applicable law requires a longer period. We will investigate and respond to all complaints within five (5) business days of the receipt of the complaint, unless an investigation requires a search of historical records in which case we will respond within fourteen (14) business days. If a payment was not credited to your account, a copy of a cancelled check or money order may be required and the disputed amount will be set aside for up to fourteen (14) days.

REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT AND REFUNDS

Refunds shall be provided within thirty (30) days of Service disconnection and the return of all Xfinity Equipment or as otherwise specified by applicable law in an amount equal to the credit balance on your account, if any, minus any amounts due on your account (including without limitation, any amounts owed for the Service(s) or for any Xfinity Equipment that is damaged, altered, or subject to an Unreturned Equipment Fee as defined in Section 9(d)).

For Prince Georges, Maryland Customers. Refunds are issued within thirty (30) days of Service disconnection and the return of any Xfinity Equipment or your next billing cycle, whichever is earlier, in a sum equal to the credit balance on your account, if any, minus any amounts due on your account, including, any amounts owed for the Service(s) or for any Xfinity Equipment that is damaged, altered, or subject to an Unreturned Equipment Fee.

CHANGES TO SERVICES

Subject to applicable law, we have the right to change our Service(s), Xfinity Equipment, rates and charges, at any time with or without notice to you. We also may rearrange, delete, add to, or otherwise change programming or features or offerings contained in the Service(s), including, but not limited to, content, functionality, hours of availability, equipment requirements, speed, and upstream and downstream rate limitations. We may deliver any notice concerning changes to the Service(s) and our relationship with you, including notice of any change to this Agreement, in any one or more of the following ways, as determined in our sole discretion: (1) by posting it on www.xfinity.com or any other website about which you have been notified; (2) by mail or hand delivery to your Premises; (3) by e-mail to the e-mail address for your account in our records; or (4) by including the information on or with your bill for Service(s). You agree that any one of the foregoing will constitute sufficient and effective notice under this Agreement. Because we may from time to time notify you about important information regarding the Service(s) and this Agreement by these methods, you agree it is your responsibility to regularly check your postal mail, e-mail, service texts, and all postings at www.xfinity.com or any other website about which you have been notified. If any material change negatively affects your Service(s), you have the right to cancel your Service(s). Your continued receipt of the Service(s) for more than 30 days after the change, however, will constitute your acceptance of the change.

ACCESS TO YOUR PREMISES AND CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT

a. Premises. You agree to allow us and our agents the right to enter your property at which the Service(s) and/or Xfinity Equipment will be provided (the “Premises”) at reasonable times, for purposes of installing, configuring, maintaining, inspecting, upgrading, replacing and removing the Service(s) and/or Xfinity Equipment used to receive any of the Service(s). You warrant that you are either the owner of the Premises or that you have the authority to give us access to the Premises. If you are not the owner of the Premises, you are responsible for obtaining any necessary approval from the owner to allow us and our agents into the Premises to perform the activities specified above. In addition, you agree to supply us or our agent, if requested, the owner’s name, address, and phone number and/or evidence that the owner has provided such authorization.

If you are not the owner of the Customer Equipment, you are responsible for obtaining any necessary approval from the owner to allow us and our agents access to the Customer Equipment to perform the activities described in this paragraph. In addition, you agree to supply us or our agents, if we ask, the owner’s name, address and phone number and/or evidence that the owner provided such authorization. For avoidance of doubt, “Customer Equipment” does not include Xfinity Equipment for which you have paid an Unreturned Equipment Fee.

MAINTENANCE AND OWNERSHIP OF EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE

a. Xfinity Equipment. “Xfinity Equipment” means all new or reconditioned equipment that we or our agent provides or leases to you, including, but not limited to, cabling or wiring (except for Inside Wiring, as defined in Section 6(c) below) and related electronic devices, modems, routers, CableCARDs, and any other hardware and includes all software and programs contained within Xfinity Equipment or downloaded to Customer Equipment by us. You expressly agree that you will use the Xfinity Equipment exclusively in connection with the Service(s). You agree that all Xfinity Equipment belongs to us or other third parties and will not be deemed fixtures or in any way part of the Premises. We may remove or change the Xfinity Equipment at our discretion at any time the Service(s) are active or following the termination of your Service(s). You acknowledge that any addition to, removal of or change to the Xfinity Equipment may interrupt your Service(s). You may not sell, lease, abandon, or give away the Xfinity Equipment, or permit any other service provider to use the Xfinity Equipment, including Xfinity Equipment for which an Unreturned Equipment Fee has been paid. The Xfinity Equipment may only be used in the Premises unless expressly permitted by us. At your request, we may relocate the Xfinity Equipment for an additional charge. YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IF YOU ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR USE THE Xfinity EQUIPMENT OR SERVICE(S) AT A LOCATION OTHER THAN THE PREMISES OR OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED BY US, THE SERVICE(S) MAY FAIL TO FUNCTION OR MAY FUNCTION IMPROPERLY. You agree that you will not allow anyone other than us or our agents to service the Xfinity Equipment. You are responsible for loss, repair, replacement and other costs, damages, fees and charges if you do not return the Xfinity Equipment to us in an undamaged condition. For avoidance of doubt, Xfinity Equipment remains Comcast-owned equipment, and Comcast retains title to all Xfinity Equipment, at all times, including but not limited to after payment of an Unreturned Equipment Fee.

b. Customer Equipment.

Responsibility: We have no responsibility for the operation, support, maintenance or repair of any Inside Wiring or Customer Equipment including, but not limited to, Customer Equipment to which we or a third party has sent software or downloads. You agree that by using the Service(s), we, or our authorized agents and equipment manufacturers, are authorized to send code updates to the Customer Equipment, including, but not limited to, modems and digital interactive televisions with CableCARDs, at any time we determine it is necessary to do so. Such code updates may change, add or remove features or functionality of the Customer Equipment or the Service(s).

For Voice. In order to use online features of Voice where we make those features available, you are required to provide certain hardware, such as a personal computer, software, an Internet browser, and access to the Internet. CORDLESS PHONES USE THE ELECTRICAL POWER IN YOUR HOME. IF THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL POWER OUTAGE, THE CORDLESS PHONE WILL CEASE TO OPERATE DURING THE OUTAGE, PREVENTING USE OF VOICE VIA THE CORDLESS PHONE.

Non-Recommended Configurations: Customer Equipment that does not meet our minimum technical or other specifications constitutes a “Non-Recommended Configuration”, including, but not limited to, modems not currently certified by us as compatible with Internet or Voice; Customer Equipment, including, but not limited to: certain makes or models of alarm and security systems or devices, certain medical monitoring devices, personal emergency alert, and home detention devices, certain fax machines, and certain “dial-up” modems, rotary-dial phone handsets, pulse-dial phone handsets, private branch exchange (PBX) equipment, answering machines, and traditional Caller ID units. We reserve the right to deny support for the Service(s) and/or terminate Service(s) if you use a Non-Recommended Configuration. NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS OR AGENTS WARRANTS THAT A NON-RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION WILL ENABLE YOU TO SUCCESSFULLY INSTALL, ACCESS, OPERATE OR USE THE SERVICE(S). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INSTALLATION, ACCESS, OPERATION OR USE OF A NON-RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION COULD CAUSE CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT TO FAIL TO OPERATE OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT, YOU, YOUR PREMISES OR XFINITY EQUIPMENT. NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS OR AGENTS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY SUCH FAILURE OR DAMAGE.

No Unauthorized Devices or Tampering: You agree not to attach or assist any person to attach any unauthorized device to, or otherwise tamper with, our cable network, Xfinity Equipment or the Service(s) for any purpose, including, but not limited to the unauthorized reception of the Service(s). If you make or assist any person to make any unauthorized connection or modification to or otherwise tamper with Xfinity Equipment or the Service(s) or any other part of our cable network, we may terminate the Service(s) and recover damages resulting from your actions. You also agree that you will not attach anything to the Inside Wiring, Xfinity Equipment, or Customer Equipment, whether installed by you or us, which impairs the integrity of our cable network or degrades our cable network’s signal quality or strength or creates signal leakage. You agree that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to calculate precisely the lost revenue resulting from your receipt of unauthorized Service(s) or the tampering with Xfinity Equipment or our network and therefore you agree to pay us as liquidated damages, the sum of $500.00 per device used to receive the unauthorized Service(s). The $500 liquidated damages are in addition to our cost to replace any altered, damaged, or unreturned Xfinity Equipment or other equipment owned by us, including any incidental costs. The unauthorized reception of the Service(s) may result in criminal fines and/or imprisonment.

c. Inside Wiring. You may install wiring inside the Premises (“Inside Wiring”), such as additional cable wiring and outlets, provided that doing so does not interfere with the normal operations of our cable network. If you have us install, repair or maintain Inside Wiring, we will charge you for that service. Regardless of who installed it, the Inside Wiring is your property or the property of whomever owns the Premises. If you do not own the Premises, contact your landlord or building manager about the installation, repair or maintenance of Inside Wiring.

For Sacramento, California Residents. We will be responsible to repair any defects of the Inside Wiring installed by us for thirty (30) days after a new TV installation.

For Voice. Except as described below, you may use Voice with your telephone Inside Wiring, as long as we have reasonable access to it and you have the right to give us access to it. If you wish to have your modem connected to your telephone Inside Wiring, installation by our technician is recommended. We must disconnect your telephone Inside Wiring from the network of your existing telephone provider to use the telephone Inside Wiring, which may disable any services you receive from them. If your modem is connected to your telephone Inside Wiring without first disconnecting the wiring from any existing telephone provider’s network, your modem may be damaged and/or Voice may not operate properly.

d. End User Software Licenses. Software or applications may be required to use certain features of the Service(s).

YOU AGREE THAT YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS US AND OUR EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, DISTRIBUTORS, LICENSORS AND BUSINESS PARTNERS AND SHALL REIMBURSE US FOR ANY DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS) INCURRED BY US IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIMS, SUITS, JUDGMENTS, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF (a) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE(S), THE XFINITY EQUIPMENT OR THE CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT; (b) VIOLATION OR INFRINGEMENT OF CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS, PRIVACY, CONFIDENTIALITY, COPYRIGHT, PATENT, TRADEMARK, TRADE SECRET, OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE(S) OR ANY UNAUTHORIZED APPARATUS OR SYSTEM; (c) ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE LACK OF 911/E911 OR DIALING ASSOCIATED WITH A HOME SECURITY, HOME DETENTION, OR MEDICAL MONITORING SYSTEM; AND (d) YOUR BREACH OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AUP.

BINDING ARBITRATION

a. Purpose. Any Dispute involving you and us shall be resolved through individual arbitration. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and there is less discovery and appellate review than in court.

b. Definitions. This Arbitration Provision shall be broadly interpreted. “Dispute” means any claim or controversy related to us or our relationship, including but not limited to any and all: (1) claims for relief and theories of liability, whether based in contract, tort, fraud, negligence, statute, regulation, ordinance, or otherwise; (2) claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement; (3) claims that arise after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, and (4) claims that are the subject of purported class action litigation. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “us” means Comcast and any of its predecessors, successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and “you” means you and any users or beneficiaries of the Xfinity Service(s) or Equipment.

c. Exclusions. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE FOLLOWING DISPUTES WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION: (i) DISPUTES RELATING TO THE SCOPE, VALIDITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION; (ii) DISPUTES THAT ARISE BETWEEN US AND ANY STATE OR LOCAL REGULATORY AUTHORITY OR AGENCY THAT IS EMPOWERED BY FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW TO GRANT A FRANCHISE UNDER 47 U.S.C. § 522(9); AND (iii) DISPUTES THAT CAN ONLY BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE LOCAL FRANCHISE AUTHORITY UNDER THE TERMS OF THE FRANCHISE.

d. Right to Opt Out. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES, YOU MAY DECLINE TO HAVE YOUR DISPUTES WITH US ARBITRATED BY NOTIFYING US, WITHIN 30 DAYS OF YOUR FIRST XFINITY SERVICE ACTIVATION, BY VISITING WWW.XFINITY.COM/ARBITRATIONOPTOUT, OR IN WRITING BY MAIL TO COMCAST 1701 JOHN F. KENNEDY BLVD., PHILADELPHIA, PA 19103-2838, ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT/ARBITRATION. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION TO US MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS AND OUR ACCOUNT NUMBER AS WELL AS A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US THROUGH ARBITRATION. YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL HAVE NO ADVERSE EFFECT ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US OR SERVICE(S) PROVIDED BY US. IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY OPTED OUT OF ARBITRATION WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCOUNT GOVERNED BY THIS AGREEMENT, YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO SO AGAIN. YOU MUST SEPARATELY OPT OUT FOR EACH ACCOUNT UNDER WHICH YOU RECEIVE SERVICES. ANY OPTOUTS SUBMITTED AFTER THIS PERIOD WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED EFFECTIVE.

e. Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding/Selection of Arbitrator. The party initiating the arbitration proceeding may open a case with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) by visiting its website (www.adr.org) or calling its toll free number (1-800-778-7879). You may deliver any required or desired notice to us by mail to Comcast, 1701 JFK Boulevard, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2838 – ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT.

f. Right to Sue in Small Claims Court: Notwithstanding anything in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, either you or we may elect to have an action heard in a small claims court in the area where you receive(d) Service(s) from us if the claim is not aggregated with the claim of any other person and if the amount in controversy is properly within the jurisdiction of the small claims court.

g. Arbitration Procedures. This Arbitration Provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Arbitrations shall be administered by the AAA pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) as modified by the version of this Arbitration Provision that is in effect when you notify us about your Dispute. You can obtain the AAA Rules from the AAA by visiting its website (www.adr.org) or calling its toll-free number (1-800-778-7879). If there is a conflict between this Arbitration Provision and the rest of this Agreement, this Arbitration Provision shall govern. If there is a conflict between this Arbitration Provision and the AAA rules, this Arbitration Provision shall govern. If the AAA will not administer a proceeding under this Arbitration Provision as written, the parties shall agree on a substitute arbitration organization. If the parties cannot agree, the parties shall mutually petition a court of appropriate jurisdiction to appoint an arbitration organization that will administer a proceeding under this Arbitration Provision as written applying the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. A single arbitrator will resolve the Dispute. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing will take place at a location convenient to you in the area where you receive Service(s) from us. If you no longer receive Service(s) from us when you notify us of your Dispute, then any arbitration hearing will take place at a location convenient to you in the county where you reside when you notify us of your Dispute provided that we offer Service(s) in that county, or in the area where you received Service(s) from us at the time of the events giving rise to your Dispute. The arbitrator will honor claims of privilege recognized by law and will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential or proprietary information. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision that explains the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions. The arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties only if necessary for purposes of enforcing the arbitrator’s award. An arbitrator’s award that has been fully satisfied shall not be entered in any court.

h. Waiver of Class Actions and Collective Relief. THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON A CLASS ACTION, JOINT 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. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S CLAIM. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT AWARD RELIEF FOR OR AGAINST ANYONE WHO IS NOT A PARTY. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND COLLECTIVE RELIEF IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CANNOT BE SEVERED FROM IT. THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION ARE NOT ESSENTIAL PARTS OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CAN BE SEVERED FROM IT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

i. Arbitral Fees and Costs. If your claim seeks more than $75,000 in the aggregate, the payment of the AAA’s fees and costs will be governed by the AAA rules. If your claims seek less than $75,000 in the aggregate, the payment of the AAA’s fees and costs will be our responsibility. However, if the arbitrator finds that your Dispute was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), the payment of the AAA’s fees and costs shall be governed by the AAA Rules and you shall reimburse us for all fees and costs that were your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. You may hire an attorney to represent you in arbitration. You are responsible for your attorneys’ fees and additional costs and may only recover your attorneys’ fees and costs in the arbitration to the extent that you could in court if the arbitration is decided in your favor. Notwithstanding anything in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, we will pay all fees and costs that we are required by law to pay

j. Survival. This Arbitration Provision shall survive the termination of your Service(s) with us.

k. For New York Residents. You may elect to resolve a Dispute for TV through the New York Public Service Commission in accordance with NYCRR 16§890.709(a) and NYCRR 16§709(c).

GENERAL

a. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any other documents incorporated by reference constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and replace any and all prior written or verbal agreements. If any portion of this Agreement 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. We do not waive any provision or right if we fail to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement.
