An online version of this Agreement will be accessible from the Road Runner Service home page under “Member Services”.
(b) Time Warner Cable-Greensboro and ServiceCo each shall have the right at any time to change or discontinue any aspect or feature of the Road Runner Service, including but not limited to content, hours of availability, Equipment and System Requirements. Either Time Warner Cable-Greensboro or Subscriber may terminate the Road Runner Service to Subscriber at any time. Time Warner Cable-Greensboro shall have the right to add to, modify or delete any provision of this Agreement, and Time Warner Cable-Greensboro and ServiceCo each have the right to add to, modify or delete any other Terms of Use at any time. Time Warner Cable-Greensboro will notify Subscriber of any change by posting notice of such change on the Road Runner Service and/or by e-mail or postal mail. Subscriber agrees that any one of the foregoing will constitute sufficient notice of such changes. Subscriber's continued use of the Road Runner Service following any notice of a change will constitute Subscriber's acceptance of such change. If Subscriber does not agree to any change, Subscriber immediately shall stop using the Road Runner Service and notify Time Warner Cable-Greensboro that he/she is terminating the subscription to the Road Runner Service.
(c) Subscriber represents and warrants that he/she is at least 18 years of age. Subscriber may, at his or her discretion, permit minors to use the Road Runner Service under adult supervision. Subscriber may wish to utilize parental control software designed to limit access to certain material on the Internet. Such software may be obtained from Time Warner Cable-Greensboro via the Road Runner Service for a fee and in the manner indicated from time to time on the Road Runner Service. Subscriber acknowledges that such software is made available without any representations or warranties under this Agreement, and that none of the Road Runner Parties endorses such products. There may be other such software more suitable to Subscriber's particular needs, and it is Subscriber's sole and exclusive responsibility to make such determination. Subscriber further acknowledges that parental control software may not prevent access to all information of the type it is intended to filter, and therefore is not a replacement for adult supervision.
(d) Subscriber is responsible in all respects (including payment obligations) for all use of Subscriber's Account, including under any screen name or password by any person, and all use by others of Subscriber's Account is subject to the terms hereof. Subscriber will ensure that all use of Subscriber's Account complies fully with the provisions of this Agreement and all Terms of Use.

3. Charges.
(a) Subscriber agrees to pay for his/her subscription to the Road Runner Service and all use of Subscriber's Account, including applicable charges for installation and all applicable local, state and federal fees and taxes. Time Warner Cable-Greensboro may require Subscriber to provide a security deposit for use of the Equipment. Charges for the Road Runner Service are set forth on a separate price list of which Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt. Both the amounts and the types (e.g., periodic, time-based, use-based) of charges for the Road Runner Service are subject to change by Time Warner Cable-Greensboro in the future. Recurring monthly Road Runner charges will be billed monthly in advance. Charges based upon actual use of the Service (including but not limited to charges based upon time or bandwidth usage, and for pay-per-view and pay-per-play offerings) will be billed in the next monthly billing cycle following such use, or as otherwise specified in the price list. All charges are payable on the due date specified on the bill.
(b) An administrative late charge may be charged on accounts for Road Runner that are past due. Payment for the Road Runner Service must be received by Time Warner Cable-Greensboro on or before the due date stated on the monthly bill. Failure to deliver payment by the due date is a breach of this Agreement. Subscriber agrees that each individual non-payment causes Time Warner Cable-Greensboro to suffer damages in an amount that is difficult to ascertain with certainty. Time Warner Cable-Greensboro has made a reasonable estimate to determine the damages caused by late payments generally and has used this estimate to set a liquidated damages late fee amount. The current late fee is listed in the list of charges or can be provided upon request. Time Warner Cable Greensboro reserves the right to change the late fee amount at any time in the future upon notice to Subscriber of the new amount.
(c) If Subscriber discontinues the Road Runner Service or the Road Runner Service is discontinued for any reason including non-payment, Subscriber may be required, in addition to payment of all outstanding balances, to pay a reconnect charge or trip charge (where applicable) before reconnection.

(f) Subscriber may access via the Road Runner
Service certain content, merchandise and services for which there are charges payable to third parties (which may include ServiceCo and entities affiliated with Time Warner Cable-Greensboro). Subscriber agrees that all such charges will be Subscriber's, and not Time Warner Cable-Greensboro's, sole and exclusive responsibility and agrees to pay the same when due, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Road Runner Parties for all liability in connection therewith.
4. Equipment and Software.
(a) The charges for the Road Runner Service include, for each Computer specified in the accompanying work order, rental of the Equipment, if necessary, to be operated at Subscriber's premises to permit connection of such Computer to the Road Runner Service, purchase from Time Warner Cable-Greensboro, if necessary, of NIC(s) for installation in Subscriber's Computer(s), and license of the Software.
b) Time Warner Cable-Greensboro or its authorized agents will install any cabling necessary to deliver the Road Runner Service to a cable modem. Time Warner Cable-Greensboro or its authorized agents will also install other necessary Equipment, NIC(s) and Software, unless Subscriber is offered and accepts a self installation option as provided on the work order. Where self installation is offered and elected, Time Warner Cable-Greensboro will provide Subscriber with any necessary Equipment and Software for Subscriber’s own installation, in accordance with Time Warner Cable-Greensboro’s procedures from time to time; provided that Subscriber will be responsible for obtaining his or her own NIC(s).
(c) Time Warner Cable-Greensboro and its authorized agents may enter Subscriber's premises and have access to Subscriber's Computer(s) periodically during the term of this Agreement and after its termination to install, connect, inspect, maintain, repair, replace or alter the Equipment or associated hardware or the Software, or to disconnect and remove the Equipment (but not the NIC).
(d) Time Warner Cable-Greensboro and ServiceCo shall have the right to upgrade, modify, enhance and replace the Equipment and Software from time to time through "downloads" from the network or otherwise. Time Warner Cable-Greensboro and ServiceCo may employ such means to limit the throughput available through individual modems whether or not provided by Time Warner Cable-Greensboro.
(e) If Subscriber is not the owner of the premises upon which Equipment and Software are to be installed, Subscriber warrants that he/she has obtained the consent of the owner of the premises for Time Warner Cable-Greensboro personnel and/or its agents to enter the premises for the purposes described in Section 4.

(i) The Equipment (but not the NIC) is and at all times shall remain the sole and exclusive personal property of Time Warner Cable-Greensboro, and Subscriber shall acquire no interest therein by virtue of the payments provided for herein or the attachment of any portion of the Equipment to the Subscriber's residence or otherwise.
(ii) Subscriber will not open, alter, misuse, tamper with or remove the Equipment as and where installed by Time
Warner Cable-Greensboro, and will not remove any markings or labels from the Equipment indicating Time Warner Cable-Greensboro ownership or serial or identity numbers.

(iii) Upon termination of the Road Runner Service, for whatever reason, Subscriber acknowledges that his/her right to possess and use the Equipment shall likewise terminate. In such event, the Equipment shall be returned to Time Warner Cable-Greensboro in the same condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Time Warner Cable-Greensboro may apply any security deposit to any such obligation of Subscriber, and collect any remaining balance from Subscriber. In the event any amount is deducted from the security deposit (other than upon termination of the Road Runner Service), Subscriber must immediately replace the amount so deducted.

(i) If Software is provided, Time Warner Cable-Greensboro grants to the Subscriber a limited, non- exclusive license to use the Software, in object code form only, solely for the purpose of connecting to the Road Runner Service the number of Computers specified on the accompanying work order. This license will permit such use by Subscriber and any person authorized by Subscriber to use the Account, under any password or screen name, provided that Subscriber shall be responsible for all use of the Account as described in Section 2(d). This license will commence upon acceptance of Subscriber's subscription for the Road Runner Service and will terminate immediately upon termination of the Road Runner Service to Subscriber for any reason. Time Warner Cable-Greensboro and/or its licensors retain all rights and interests in and to the Software.
(ii) Subscriber is permitted to make a single copy of the Software solely for back- up purposes, provided that such copy contains the same copyright notices and proprietary markings as the original Software.
