Terms of Service

Terms of Service: Telecom Professional User

This Terms of Services agreement (“Agreement”) governs your use of BusinessInternet.com, which has been made available to you by Centerfield BBN LLC (“Centerfield BBN”), a Delaware limited liability company and the owner of BusinessInternet.com.

By signing up for a Telecom Professional User Account on BusinessInternet.com, you (“User” or “You”) expressly agree to be bound, without modification, to this Agreement, so please read them carefully to decide if you will continue using BusinessInternet.com. If you do not or cannot agree to be bound to this Agreement, you cannot use BusinessInternet.com. If you are using BusinessInternet.com on behalf of a business, you warrant that you are authorized to bind that business to legal agreements, and as such, that business accepts this Agreement, and all of the terms of this Agreement apply to that business.

We reserve the right to change this Agreement at any time, at our sole discretion. If we make any changes, we will notify you by posting the changes here and by emailing you at the email address provided by you. You are responsible for reviewing any changes to the Agreement. Your continued use of BusinessInternet.com after posting of changes to the Agreement is your acceptance to the modified Agreement. The Agreement was last modified on October 8th, 2018.

Using BusinessInternet.com

Subject to this agreement, you have access to use BusinessInternet.com for educational and informational use, such as to search and obtain information regarding broadband availability at certain address locations. BusinessInternet.com and Centerfield BBN do not provide internet service.

Centerfield BBN may modify, change, or upgrade the functionality or appearance of BusinessInternet.com, including removal of functionality or content, at any time.

This site contains information regarding the services of third party providers. Centerfield BBN may be compensated by some of the third party providers for listing the information.

This site may link to other websites. Links are not an endorsement of the products or services available at the other websites. Centerfield BBN has no responsibility or control of content on the linked websites.

This site is not providing financial, legal, business, technical, or other professional advice.

Centerfield BBN makes every commercially reasonable attempt to manually gather relevant information helpful towards making a purchase of broadband internet and other services. However, because Centerfield BBN does not control the information, and internet providers may change their availability, speed, services, features, data centers, and pricing structures at any time, Centerfield BBN cannot and will not be held responsible for any discrepancies in availability, pricing, or other information between what is stated on BusinessInternet.com and anywhere else where you find information regarding broadband internet service, including the website of the internet providers themselves. Always verify plans, pricing, contact details, availability, speed, and other relevant information with the internet provider before starting service.

You agree to promptly notify Centerfield BBN if your BusinessInternet.com account has been subject to a security breach, including disclosure of your username or password.

The Telecom Professional User Account

Subject to the Terms of this Agreement, a Telecom Professional User will receive 50 Credits per Calendar Month, and will have access to additional professional-level features including bulk searches, the ability to purchase additional Credits, API keys, and friend invites. The 50 monthly Credits do not “carry over” from month-to-month.

From time to time, Centerfield BBN may change, modify, or upgrade the functionality or appearance of BusinessInternet.com, which may include the removal of functionality, content, features, or amounts of credits per each level of User account.

Payments

Payments may be paid via credit card via Stripe. Overdue amounts, including bounced payments or chargebacks, will be assessed a late payment charge at a monthly rate of 1.5% or the maximum provided by law, whichever is less. You may choose to enable automatic billing to refill additional Credits monthly; if so, you agree that Centerfield BBN may charge your credit card automatically on your renewal date until you cancel. You may cancel your automatic Credit refill at any time via the billing tab of your online account. Cancellations and unused Credits are not subject to refund; if you cancel your account, your remaining credits are lost. Complementary Credits have no monetary or cash value and are never subject to refund. Credits automatically expire one year from purchase. Centerfield BBN shall have the right to recover expenses including collection costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in collecting overdue amounts.

Termination

Centerfield BBN reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and User's rights by giving User email notice of termination at Centerfield BBN’s sole discretion. If Centerfield BBN terminates User’s account for good cause, User will not receive a refund for unused, purchased, unexpired Credits; however, if Centerfield BBN terminates User’s account without good cause, Centerfield BBN will refund User for unused, purchased, unexpired Credits. As stated above, upon termination, User will never receive a refund for Credits that were complementary and/or expired. The provisions of any Disclaimer and the Limitation of Liability shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
