Fios TV Notice

Fios TV customers have access to a variety of programming packages, premium content, and On Demand and Pay Per View titles, in addition to Fios TV equipment and recording/storage options. Detailed information about these options, including pricing and conditions of subscription, is available at verizon.com/fiostv, by calling 1.800.VERIZON (1.800.837.4966) or by reviewing the Fios TV Rate Card at verizon.com/fiostvratecard. The Fios TV rate card is also available via your TV by pressing the Menu button on your Fios remote control, then selecting Customer Support, My Account and Fios TV Rate Card.

Fios TV equipment allows customers to enjoy the full potential of Fios TV, including our Interactive Media Guide (IMG), On Demand Library, Parental Controls and HD. Customers who connect to the Fios network without Fios TV equipment may not receive all Fios TV programming. CableCARD technology allows access to the encrypted HD and standard-definition digital channels on Fios TV, but does not support advanced Fios TV features. Please note that our equipment may not support certain features and functions on older televisions and recording equipment. Please see verizon.com/support for more information.

Visit Channel 131 or verizon.com/usingfios for information about your Fios TV service, including remote control and search functions, the IMG, recording functions, On Demand and Pay Per View programming, Parental and Purchase Controls and the Fios Mobile TV App. A variety of information is available in the IMG - just press Menu > Customer Support - and is available at verizon.com/support.

Fios TV Parental and Purchase Controls provide the ability to block access to programming and to On  Demand and Pay Per View purchases for each Set Top Box. Parental and Purchase Controls can be accessed in the IMG by pressing Menu > Settings > System > Parental/Purchase. Additional information is available at verizon.com/support.

Closed captioning is available through the IMG by pressing Menu >   Settings > System > Accessibility > Closed Captions. Customers with hearing disabilities may contact us via TTY at 1.800.974.6006.

You can temporarily suspend your Fios TV service for seasonal or vacation purposes in certain circumstances by visiting My Verizon and selecting Suspend My Service under Security, Support & More or by calling by calling 1.800.VERIZON (1.800.837.4966)

If you disconnect your service, please remember to return all Verizon equipment within 30 days or an unreturned equipment charge will be applied to your account. If your service is terminated before the end of a term agreement, you may be charged an early termination fee.

You may view and print your channel lineup by signing in to My Verizon and then clicking on Services > TV > Manage.

Depending on whether there may have been previous Fios service at your address, you may qualify to install your Fios TV service yourself. You may also have a Verizon technician install your service and any additional TV outlets or wiring that might be needed. For details, including rates associated with installation, contact us at 1.800.VERIZON (1.800.837.4966).

The following Service Credit information is applicable to New Jersey Fios TV customers:

In accordance with the Regulations of the Office of Cable Television and Telecommunications, a service outage is defined as the total loss of the audio or visual portion of any service, not caused by the customer, for which the customer pays a separate charge and which affects Verizon’s distribution equipment. For service outages lasting six (6) to twenty-four (24) hours, you may be eligible to receive a one- day credit, based on your monthly rates for the affected service. For service outages that extend more than twenty-four (24) hours, you may be eligible to receive a credit based upon your monthly rate for the affected service for each calendar day (or part of a calendar day if greater than six (6) hours during which such service is unavailable). Verizon may offer to provide an alternate form of compensation in lieu of a credit to compensate you for the loss of service caused by an outage. A credit may not be available if restoration of your service within six (6) hours cannot be accomplished due to factors beyond Verizon’s control, provided that service within six (6) hours after restoration of service becomes practicable. If a loss of service lasts at least twenty-four hours and is not the result of a service outage, you may be eligible to receive a credit based upon your monthly rate for the affected service for one day of service for each twenty-four (24) hour period during which the service is unavailable. Except and unless specifically provided otherwise by law, such credit (or alternate compensation in lieu of a credit in the case of a service outage) shall be your sole remedy for a service outage or other interruption of service. In order to be eligible for a credit, you must request such credit by phone or in writing to Verizon or the Office of Cable Television within thirty (30) days of the service outage. IN NO EVENT SHALL VERIZON, VERIZON ONLINE LLC, OR ANY VERIZON AFFILIATES (OR OTHER OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARENT OR SUBSIDIARIES), OR VERIZON'S THIRD- PARTY LICENSORS, PROVIDERS OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM OR THE NATURE OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION, EVEN IF VERIZON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CLAIM OR DAMAGES, OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN THE FIOS TV TERMS OF SERVICE APPLY.

As a Fios TV customer, you are entitled to notice of the rates and programming that we offer. This notice will be given to you:

• When you first subscribe to Fios TV;
• When you request any change in service;
• When you request such information;
• Semiannually; and
• When there is a change in programming, such as when a channel is removed.

In the case of certain particularly significant programming changes, we’ll give you notice 30 days prior to the change taking effect, if the change is within our control, or we will give you notice within 30 days of our learning of the change. In some cases, you may have the right to modify your service plan without charge or to receive a credit as a result of such a change.

If you are affected by any change that may trigger one of these rights, the specific criteria for determining your eligibility for one or more of these opportunities will be explained to you in detail.

Our Fios TV equipment allows customers to access the dynamic Interactive Media Guide, our extensive On Demand library, Pay Per View, easy-to-use Parental Controls and our 100% digital programming.

Customers who choose to connect their TV directly to the Fios network without a Set Top Box or digital adapter may not be able to receive all of the content to which they subscribe. Certain customer-owned equipment may also be equipped with CableCARD technology or a built-in digital tuner. These devices will allow the customer to access Fios TV content without needing a Set Top Box or digital adapter, but will not allow them access to key Fios TV features, such as the Interactive Media Guide, Pay Per View and On Demand   content, or Parental Controls.

Technology is fluid, and our equipment may not support certain features and functions on older customer-owned equipment. For example, you may not be able to view a program on one channel while simultaneously recording a program on another channel, record two or more consecutive programs that appear on different channels or use advanced display features, such as “Picture-in- Picture.”

Customers may be able to obtain other remote controls that are compatible with our equipment from retail outlets. Universal remote controls that have a General Instruments IR code set may be used to control a Fios TV Set Top Box. To learn more about Fios TV equipment options, please visit verizon.com/fiostv.
