Internet Services
Highline offers our customers Internet Services (the “Service” or “Services”) subject to these terms and conditions (the “Agreement”). For purposes of this Agreement, “you,” “your,” “Customer,” and “Member” refer to the person purchasing the Services. “We,” “our,” and “us” refer to Highline.
Activation, Cancellation or Modification. Services can be ordered, cancelled or modified by calling our Highline office at 936-327-4309. In some cases we may be able to assist you remotely over the phone or via the Internet by computer in accordance with our fee schedules. Fees apply in accordance with our fee schedules for any work performed. Certain of our fee schedules may be listed on our website at www.Highline-Texas.com and are subject to change without notice. Any fees will be added to your bill if you are a current customer of Highline, and payment will be due in the same manner as payment for other Highline services. Cancellation will be effective as of the end of the month in which notice is received, and you will remain liable for Service charges for that month. Requests for upgrades to the Services which are accepted will take effect at the beginning of the next month following receipt of the upgrade request. Requested downgrades to the Services will be subject to standard installation charges, if any.
By enrolling in, activating, using, or paying for the Services, you agree to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, including but not limited to the prices, charges, and terms and conditions provided to you in marketing and informational materials associated with the Services and on the Highline website, www.Highline-Texas.com, as amended, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to all of the aforementioned terms and conditions, do not use the Services, and cancel the Services immediately by calling Highline at the phone numbers listed above.
All use of the Services, whether or not authorized by you, shall be deemed your use. You are responsible for ensuring that all use of the Services complies with this Agreement.
Modification of Agreement. This Agreement may be updated or changed by us from time to time. You can review the most current version of the Agreement at any time at: www.Highline-Texas.com. If Highline makes a change to the Agreement and that change has a material impact on the Services, you will be provided notice of that change by contact to your current mail or email address in the records of Highline. You agree to periodically visit the aforementioned website to review any such changes. Your continued use of the Services following the sending of such notice by Highline, or the expiration of thirty (30) days following posting of the change on the Highline website, whichever occurs first, constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
Subscription for Services. Each Customer elects to subscribe to the Services for the Minimum Service Term set forth on the Customer’s enrollment form or other subscription document commencing from the date of acceptance by Highline and installation, as applicable. If no Minimum Service Term is selected for the applicable Service, then the Minimum Service Term shall be one month from the date of commencement of Service.

(v) The specific rates and charges for the Services are set forth on Highline’s price list.
Pricing Changes. Highline reserves the right where allowed by regulation to change pricing for its Services at any time without notice to you; provided that Highline will not change the basic rate for ordered Services during the Minimum Service Term commitment period applicable to you. Following expiration of a Minimum Service Term commitment, or upon any payment default by you, Highline may adjust the rates for Services to reflect any pricing increases made by Highline for the applicable Services.
Payment. Payment of each invoice for the Services is due in full, without deduction or offset, within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date at the invoice address for payment. A late fee of $15.00 will be applied to unpaid accounts twenty-two (22) days from the date of invoice. Accounts unpaid twenty-eight (28) days after the date of invoice may have their service interrupted. You agree to pay interest on any amounts past due at the rate of 1 1/2% per month (or the maximum amount required by law, whichever is less). You also agree that Highline may suspend and/or terminate the Services if any amounts due Highline are not paid by their due date. Highline may assign unpaid late balances to a collection agency for appropriate action. In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you agree to reimburse Highline for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses. You will be charged a $25.00 fee for any check or other instrument (including credit card charge backs) tendered by you and returned unpaid by a financial institution for any reason.
Any loss of Services caused by the action or inaction of the Customer, or by a defect or failure of Customer equipment, will not suspend Customer’s obligations to pay for the Services, and Customer shall remain liable for all applicable charges.
Credit Card and Credit Reporting Authorization. You may be asked to provide us with a valid email address and a credit card number from a card issuer that we accept in order to activate your Services. You hereby authorize Highline to charge and/or place a hold on your credit card with respect to any unpaid charges related to the Services. You authorize the issuer of the credit card to pay any amounts described herein without requiring a signed receipt, and you agree that this Agreement is to be accepted as authorization to the issuer of the credit card to pay all such amounts. You authorize Highline and/or any other company who bills for products or services or acts as billing agent for Highline to continue to attempt to charge and/or place holds on your credit card with respect to all sums described herein, or any portion thereof, until such amounts are paid in full.
You agree to provide Highline with updated credit card information upon Highline’s request and any time the information you previously provided is no longer valid. You are solely responsible for maintaining and updating the credit card information. Without limiting the applicability of any other provisions of this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that neither Highline nor any Highline affiliated company will have any liability whatsoever for any non-sufficient funds or other charges incurred by you as a result of such attempts to charge, and/or place holds on, your credit card. If you mistakenly provide a debit card number, instead of a credit card number, you authorize all charges described herein to be applied to such debit card unless and until you provide a credit card number. In the event you are enrolled, or later enroll, in an automatic payment or electronic funds transfer plan, you agree that all sums described herein may be charged, at Highline’s option, to the account number provided for such automatic payment or electronic funds transfer plan.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you authorize Highline to disclose your account information, including your payment history and confidential information, to credit reporting agencies or private credit reporting associations, and periodically obtain and use your credit report and other credit information from credit reporting agencies, private credit reporting associations and other sources in connection with Highline’s offering of the Services. You understand that if you fail to fulfill the terms of your obligations to Highline, Highline may report your failure to credit reporting agencies as well as pursue Highline’s other rights and remedies.
Advances or Deposits. We may require you to make deposits or advance payments for Services, which we may use to satisfy your initial bill for Services, to offset against any unpaid balance on your account, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or permitted by law. Interest will not be paid on advance payments or deposits unless required by law. We may require additional advance payments or deposits if we determine that the initial payment was inadequate. Based on your creditworthiness or for other reasons, we may establish limits and restrict service or features as we deem appropriate. If your account balance goes beyond the limit we set for you, we may immediately interrupt or suspend service until your balance is brought below the limit. Any charges you incur in excess of your limit become immediately due. Upon determination solely by Highline of satisfactory payment history or as required by law, Highline may begin refunding of the deposit or advance payment through bill credits, cash payments, or as otherwise determined solely by Highline or as required by law.
Access to Premises. You will provide Highline with reasonable access to your premises in order to install, maintain, and repair the Services, and you authorize any other adult resident or guest at your residence to grant access to your premises for these purposes. You understand and agree that Highline may drill, cut, and otherwise alter improvements on the premises. If you do not own your premises, you warrant that you have obtained permission from any necessary party, including but not limited to the owner, landlord, or building manager, to make alterations Highline deems appropriate for the work to be performed. You acknowledge that Highline may use existing wiring, including altering the wiring and removing accessories, located within your premises.
You agree that the installation, inspection, maintenance, repair, and/or removal of any equipment could result in service outages or potential damage to your equipment, computers, computer network and/or the contents thereof and/or the loss of any recorded programming. Accordingly, you agree that you are solely responsible for providing any needed back-up for your information and data or programming and that in no event will Highline or any of its employees, agents, contractors, or business associates be liable for any loss of data or programming or damage to your equipment, computers, computer network and/or the contents thereof.
You will be responsible for payment of service charges for visits by Highline or its subcontractors to your premises when a service request results from causes not attributable to Highline or its subcontractors.
Highline Equipment. Unless expressly identified as being sold to Customer, title to all hardware and/or software provided by Highline in connection with this Agreement (the “Equipment”) shall remain with Highline. Highline’s repair and maintenance obligations as to its Equipment are limited solely to ordinary wear and tear and shall not include maintenance and repair necessary as a result of any other cause, including without limitation, vandalism or intentional or negligent acts or omissions by the Customer or third parties. Maintenance and repairs related to such causes are the Customer’s sole responsibility and liability. The Customer shall provide appropriate space, power and environment for, and take reasonable care of, the Equipment. Customer agrees not to damage or misuse the Equipment. Unless expressly agreed to in writing, the Customer will be solely responsible and liable for connection of the Customer’s computers and other equipment to the Equipment. The Customer will at all times be solely responsible and liable for the maintenance and repair of Customer’s computers and Customer’s other equipment.

Password Security. Upon Highline’s acceptance of Customer’s registration for certain Services, Highline may provide Customer with a username, password and user identification number. Customer and members of Customer’s household are the only authorized users of the account and must comply with this Agreement. Customer must keep all passwords and identifications confidential so that no one else may access the Services through Customer’s account. Customer must notify Highline immediately upon discovering any unauthorized use of the account. Using a personal account for high volume or commercial use (e.g., revenue generation, advertising, etc.) is prohibited. Usernames and passwords are Highline’s property, and Highline may alter or replace them at any time.

No Services or Equipment may be transferred to another location or shared with another person who is not bound by this Agreement. You will not use the Services for telemarketing or any excessive usage inconsistent with normal residential usage patterns (or, if a commercial customer under a commercial service plan, consistent with normal usage for that plan). If Highline determines, in its sole discretion, that you are reselling or transferring Services or that you are using Services in an improper manner or other manner unduly burdensome on Highline’s network and facilities, Highline reserves the right, without advance notice, immediately to terminate or modify the Services, or to change your Service plan to a different offer on a prospective basis, and, in addition, to assess additional charges for each month in which excessive usage occurred.
Status of Internet Usage. The Customer acknowledges that the Internet is an ever-changing network not controlled by any single government or entity, but reliant upon the interconnectivity and operability of various networks. ACCORDINGLY, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, ANY INTERNET ACCESS AS WELL AS ALL SERVICES RELATED TO SUCH ACCESS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. No advice or information given by Highline or its contractors or their respective employees shall create a warranty. Highline does not warrant that service will be uninterrupted or error free or that any information, software or other material accessible through the Internet is free of viruses, cancelbot, spyware, worms, trojan horses, or other harmful components. The Customer also understands that the Internet contains unedited materials, some of which are explicit and/or offensive. Highline has no control over and accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any such materials. The Customer agrees Customer accesses such materials at Customer’s own risk.

Highline also reserves the right to terminate the Services in the event of chronic or uncured violations of the AUP as determined by Highline. Notwithstanding anything herein, Highline shall be under no obligation to monitor the compliance of Customer with the AUP.
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Notice. In operating the Services, Highline may act as a “services provider” under the DMCA and offer services as an online provider of materials and links to third party websites. As a result, third party materials that are not owned or controlled by Highline may be transmitted, stored, accessed or otherwise made available using the Service. You agree to notify Highline if and to the extent any situation arises wherein you believe any material available through the Service infringes a copyright. Any claimant must notify Highline using the notice procedure for claimed infringement under the DMCA and provide the following:
If you believe that your work has been copied and has been posted, stored or transmitted to Highline’s website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing Highline’s designated agent the following written information: (i) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; (ii) a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed upon; (iii) a specific description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the website; (iv) your address, telephone number, and email address; (v) a statement by you that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
Highline’s designated agent (the proper party for notice) to whom any copyright owner should address infringement notices under the DMCA is DMCA-Designated Agent, 701 W. Church Street, Livingston, Texas 77351, 936-327-4309, [email protected]. Highline will respond expeditiously to remove or disable access to material Highline determines may be infringing and will follow the procedures specified in the DMCA to resolve the claim between the notifying party and the alleged infringing party who provided the applicable content.
Highline also has no obligation to monitor its Services, but may do so and disclose information regarding use of the Services for any reason if Highline, in its sole discretion, believes that it is reasonable to do so, including, without limitation, to: (i) satisfy laws, regulations, or governmental or legal requests, (ii) operate the Services properly, or (iii) protect itself and its customers and users. Highline may immediately remove material or information from Highline’s servers, in whole or in part, which Highline, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines to infringe another’s property rights or to violate the AUP.
To the extent any of your Services from Highline include wireless access, wireless systems use radio channels to transmit voice and data communications over a network, and privacy cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable to Customer or any other party for any lack of privacy resulting from using any wireless services of Highline. Customer acknowledges that wireless service is inherently not secure and that wireless communications can be intercepted by equipment and software designed for that purpose. Notwithstanding efforts to enhance security with respect to the Service, Highline cannot guarantee the effectiveness of these efforts and will not be liable to Customer or any other party for any lack of security that may result from use of the Service. Customer acknowledges that Customer is responsible for taking such precautions and providing such security measures best suited for Customer’s situation and intended use of the Service. Highline strongly encourages Customer to obtain security solutions, such as virtual private networks, encryption and personal firewalls, as more fully described at https://highline-texas.com.
Miscellaneous. You acknowledge and agree that this Agreement, together with all other terms and conditions incorporated herein, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties for the provision and use of the Services and the complete and exclusive statement of the terms agreed upon, all prior agreements and understandings being merged herein. Neither this Agreement nor any interest herein of Customer may be assigned, sublet, or in any manner transferred by Customer without the prior, written consent of Highline, which consent may be withheld in Highline’s sole discretion. Any attempted assignment or transfer in contravention of the preceding sentence shall be void. A waiver by Highline of any terms herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to choice of law principles. This agreement is accepted and performed at Polk County, Texas, and venue shall be proper only in that county. No amendments or modifications to this Agreement shall be effective or binding against Highline unless expressly agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of Highline. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that they are invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be reformed and modified so that they express the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as reasonably practicable without being invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

PRIVACY POLICY:
Highline is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the information provided by Customers and other parties visiting Highline’s website.
Personal Information. Visitors can generally browse our website anonymously without providing any personal information.

When personally identifiable information is collected, you will know because you will need to provide the requested information through the completion of a form. Personally identifiable information may include a visitor’s name, address, telephone number and email address. We will not collect any personally identifiable information unless the Customer or visitor provides it to us voluntarily. If you choose not to give information we request, you can still visit our website, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services. Highline is dedicated to building a long-term relationship with all of our website visitors and customers. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Log Files. Our log tracking collects visitors’ IP addresses to analyze trends, administer our website, track visitor movement, and gather broad demographic information to help determine the type of information visitors are interested in seeing on our website. This tracking only collects IP addresses and not personally identifiable information. Visitors are not personally identifiable within our log files. Highline only uses this information for internal purposes and does not share this information with non-affiliated companies or institutions.
Cookies. A “Cookie” is a piece of information that is sent from a Highline web server to a visitor’s browser and stored on the visitor’s hard drive. Highline uses Cookies when a Customer or visitor orders a product or registers for a specific program. The Cookie stores information that allows Highline’s website to remember a Customer or visitor the next time he or she visits it. Cookies also allow us to tailor our website to better match Customers’ or other visitors’ interests and preferences. The applicable party may choose to disable Cookies by changing his or her browser settings; however, such party may not be able to access some of the information or features on our website after doing so.
Registration. In some cases, a person may be required to complete a registration form to order a product or to receive certain information. During the registration process, the person is required to give specific information such as name and email address. This information is used to contact the person regarding services offered by Highline for which the person has expressed interest.
Ordering Services. When ordering Services online, Highline will request certain information from a Customer to complete an order. The Customer’s information will include name, address, telephone number, email address, payment information and other information as may be requested by Highline in the order form. This information is used for billing purposes, fulfillment of orders, ongoing account maintenance and upgrades.
Security.

In addition, we may ask for information that will help deliver pertinent information from Highline. Persons who do not wish to receive Highline newsletters or promotional materials may opt-out of receiving these communications. Each contact the visitor receives from Highline will inform the visitor how to unsubscribe from these communications.
Sharing of Personal Information. Collected personal information is only used for the business purposes of Highline and is not shared with external, non-affiliated companies except as provided in this Privacy Policy. Highline may partner with other parties to provide specific services, such as billing solutions, which are designed to enhance the functionality of our products and services.
