The FCC has adopted rules to protect your privacy with regard to telecommunications information that is personal to you. This information is called Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) and can be found in your calling and billing records. CPNI includes information such as the type of services subscribed to, current charges, calling patterns and any other information that may appear on a subscriber's bill.

In accordance with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rule FCC-15-98 known as ‘Ensuring Continuity of 911 Communications’, TrioTel Communications, Inc. is providing voice subscribers with information regarding backup battery options to ensure the availability of emergency 911 dialing during a power outage. This notification is for informational purposes only. No action is required. Backup Power for Home Phone Service during a Power Outage: For many years, your home phone would allow you to stay connected to emergency voice services during a power outage. However, with a fiber-optic connection, your home phone service now requires a backup battery power to continue functioning during an outage. To avoid a disruption of home voice service during a power outage, and to maintain the ability to connect to 911 emergency services, TrioTel has provided and installed a backup battery unit. What Your Battery Can and Can’t Do for You: TrioTel’s backup battery will allow you to make emergency calls during a power outage. Without a backup battery or alternate backup source, such as a generator, you will not be able to make any calls, including emergency calls to 911. The only way to maintain the ability to use your home phone is by using some form of backup power. During a power outage, voice calls should be limited to emergency and essential calls to conserve battery power and extend the time available to make calls. TrioTel recommends you have at least one corded telephone connected directly to an active phone jack for emergency use in the event of a power outage. The backup battery does not provide power to any services other than voice. TrioTel’s television and internet services, along with home security systems, medical monitoring devices, and other electronic equipment will not run on a home phone backup battery and will not function when power is out. Expected Backup Power Duration: The backup battery TrioTel has provided is expected to last up to 8 hours on standby power. If you feel this is not enough time, you may extend your standby power by purchasing a 24-hour backup battery unit. Purchase and Replacement Options: If you wish to purchase a 24-hour backup battery and power supply unit, please contact TrioTel for pricing. Replacement batteries may be purchased from TrioTel or online. Please contact TrioTel for information regarding specific models and requirements. Installation of the 24-hour backup battery and power supply unit is included in the price when purchased from TrioTel and installed at the time of telephone service connection. TrioTel does not supply any warranty on the backup battery units. Instructions for Proper Care and Use of Your Battery: Please follow the instructions included with your battery for proper use, storage, and care of the battery to ensure that it will function as needed during a power outage. The estimated life expectancy for the battery is 2-4 years. Environmental factors, such as temperature, power outage frequency, usage, and battery age can affect the performance and life expectancy of the battery. Batteries should be stored in locations under normal room temperatures. Please refer to your battery’s instruction manual for details on the warning indicator lights and battery replacement procedure. Please follow the battery’s instructions on testing your battery to verify both the operation of the backup battery and its condition. Make sure to plug the unit back in at the end of testing. The backup battery unit TrioTel has provided performs self-tests and is monitored for life expectancy.

I understand the TrioVision activation fee is $99.00 and includes the wiring of one jack. A $25.00 charge will apply for each additional jack; including new jacks or existing jacks that require new wiring. TV’s must be in place.

Billing Terms: All monthly charges are to be paid in advance or at the time billed by TrioTel, and no portion of such monthly charges will be refundable unless for services rendered. TrioTel will provide subscribers with a statement for each billing cycle. Statements will reflect: payments, credits, purchases, and any other charges to the account for all services received, the amount owed to TrioTel, and the date the payment is due. Payment of an outstanding balance is due in full by the date due. If we do not receive payment in full by the date due on the billing statement, TrioTel has the right to deactivate all services. Subscribers should be advised that the first bill may be larger than normal, and may include: activation/installation fees, the previous month’s prorated monthly charges along with the current month’s charges, equipment purchases, costs for labor and materials during installation, plus any other charges or miscellaneous fees.

Subscriber is responsible for all pay-per-view or video on demand purchases and will not be issued credit for duplicate programming purchases, failure to record purchased programming, interruptions due to power outages or equipment failure, or any other instance in which the outage, interruption or error was beyond the reasonable control of TrioTel. It is the subscriber’s responsibility to maintain and enforce the pay-per-view, video on demand, and parental locks on the interactive program guide. TrioTel may, based on credit score or payment history, require a deposit or payment in advance for services, limit the services available, or take other action to secure subscriber obligation to TrioTel as a condition of subscribers continued receipt of services. Fees and Charges: In addition to the amounts due for TrioVision programming services, subscriber agrees to pay the following charges, if applicable, in the amounts stated, as amended from time to time: Activation/Installation Fee $99.00: Subscriber agrees to pay the Activation/Installation Fee prior to the activation/installation of TrioVision service.

Subscriber agrees to pay the TV Jack Fee for each additional jack; including new jacks or existing jacks that require new wiring. If a set top box can be plugged into an existing jack and the TV works, no fee will apply. Vacation Fee $25.00: TrioVision service may be put on vacation for a minimum of three months. Subscriber agrees to pay the Vacation Fee when TrioVision service is restored. Late Payment Fee $2.00 or 1 ½% of the Outstanding Balance: Subscriber agrees to pay the Late Payment Fee if payment is not received by the date due on the billing statement. Subscribers on the Prompt Payment Plan will not receive a late notice, instead, services will be suspended if payment is not received by the date due on the billing statement. Restoral of Service Fee $28.00: Subscriber agrees to pay the Restoral of Service Fee if TrioVision programming service has been suspended and wishes service to be restored, in addition to bringing the account up to date by payment in full of any outstanding balances, fees, and charges. Returned Payment Fee $30.00: Subscriber agrees to pay the Returned Payment Fee if the bank or other financial institution on which payment is drawn refuses to pay TrioTel for any reason, and the check, money order, or any other instrument is returned to TrioTel unpaid. Equipment Agreement: Subscriber agrees that all equipment installed in or on the premises is the property of TrioTel; and will not deliberately alter, tamper with, or remove equipment; and will exercise reasonable care to prevent damage or loss of the equipment. If the equipment is tampered with, lost, stolen, or not returned, subscriber agrees to pay TrioTel for the repair or replacement of the equipment. If it is necessary for TrioTel to commence legal proceedings for the recovery of such damages, any amounts due under this Agreement or by law, or for the recovery of the TrioVision equipment, subscriber agrees to pay any unpaid balance due TrioTel, legal costs of collection, plus 1 1/2% interest per month. The purchase and replacement of remote batteries in the future will be the subscriber’s responsibility. If a remote is lost or damaged, replacement remotes can be purchased from TrioTel.
