Please note that services listed in this notice may not be available in all Spectrum areas, and that some of the policies, procedures, services herein are not applicable to all Spectrum Business video customers (exceptions may exist by product type).
The terms and conditions applicable to your services contain a binding arbitration provision, which includes a waiver of class actions and provisions for opting out of arbitration and affects your rights with respect to all services.
BASIC SERVICE: (Basic Tier Availability) The Basic Service Tier is our lowest level of video service. Basic Service includes off air broadcast stations and may include any franchiserequired public, educational and government access channels. All such programming varies on a community-by-community basis and is subject to change at any time, subject to applicable law. Pursuant to federal law, cable customers must subscribe to Basic Service in order to subscribe to any other cable video service.
OTHER OPTIONAL SERVICES: Where available, the following services are optional levels of service above and beyond Basic Service: Expanded Service, Digital packages & tiers, seasonal Sports Programming, Premium channels, Spectrum Receiver, Integrated Interactive Services. Remote Control, HD equipment, DVR service, Internet and Phone.
PROGRAMMING: You may view pricing, channel line-ups and additional services available in your area at www.spectrum.com/cable-tv.html. Your channel lineup is also available through your on-screen Spectrum Guide. A cable operator-issued digital receiver, CableCARD or digital adapter is required to view programming channels in All-Digital markets. A cable operator-issued digital receiver is required to view Pay-Per-View, On Demand programming (where available), and any interactive content. HD capable equipment is required to view HD programming (where available). All programming may not be available to CableCARD Customers. Spectrum receives programming from various broadcast and cable networks. Spectrum is not responsible for the content or schedule aired by these networks. Please contact specific cable or broadcast networks directly with your programming complaints or questions. Spectrum provides notice to its Customers at least thirty (30) days in advance of the deletion of any programming service (if the change is within Charter’s control), channel assignment changes or rate increases.
PAY-PER-VIEW AND ON DEMAND: Where available, Pay-Per-View and On Demand are for private, in-home viewing only, not commercial establishments open to the general public. To order one of these services, your account must be current. Customers with a Spectrum receiver may order On Demand via the Spectrum remote control. Some Customers may need to call Spectrum to order live Pay-Per-View events. To prevent unauthorized use in your household, you are responsible for setting up a PIN number, Parental Control, and/or Channel Content Rating Preferences. Without limitation, Spectrum will not give credit for the following circumstances: 1) unauthorized use, 2) if you record a Pay-Per-View event or movie and are not present to monitor the recording, 3) if you do not call to report reception problems while the movie or event you ordered is on, 4) or if you do not call to report that you did not receive the movie or event you ordered, while that movie or event is on.
INSIDE WIRING: Spectrum may offer a Wire Maintenance Plan as an optional service. Certain limitations apply to the Wire Maintenance Plan, such as the exclusion of repairs to alarm/ electrical/twisted pair wiring, Customer-caused damage or abuse, and alterations to Spectrum equipment. Please contact Spectrum for more information about the Wire Maintenance Plan. For new and existing single unit installations, the wiring inside your residential premises shall become a fixture to the realty upon installation. If you have someone other than Spectrum install the inside wiring in your home, or if you do it yourself, you are responsible for ensuring that the wiring does not interfere with the normal operation of the cable system and that it complies with applicable federal regulations, including protections against signal leakage.
CABLE COMPATIBILITY: In an “all-digital” cable system, all channels are encrypted and a cable operator-issued digital receiver or digital adapter is required on each television set to receive TV programming. A cable operator-issued digital receiver or digital adapter is required to receive encrypted and subscription-specific signals, which are delivered only to those customers who elect to have them as part of their service package. These typically include, but are not limited to, digital programming packages, premium channels, Pay-Per-View, On Demand, and on-screen Spectrum Guide. A CableCARD is an additional device available at Spectrum Stores, designed to provide some of the same functionality available with a digital receiver (i.e., view digital encrypted cable channels without using a receiver) when used with a television set or an approved retail purchased digital receiver or device that supports it. A CableCARD will not provide all services (including, but not limited to, two-way communication services such as the on-screen Spectrum Guide, On Demand, on screen ordering of Pay-Per-View). In cable systems that are not “all-digital,” “cable ready” television sets may be connected directly to the cable system and may receive limited analog signals present on the system without the use of a receiver (typically most, but not all, Limited Basic channels).
A digital receiver functions as a tuner/decoder that receives the cable channel selected by the viewer and converts it to a format that can be received by the Customer’s television set or device. This converted signal is usually displayed on the TV input the digital receiver has been connected to (e.g., Component, HDMI1, HDMI 2). Some digital receivers also provide video and audio outputs, which can be connected to the video and audio inputs of additional devices such as Home Theater systems or other edge devices (e.g., PC, sound bar). To operate your television set after it is connected to a cable operator-issued digital receiver, use the remote provided with your television (not the Spectrum remote) to tune to the corresponding TV input as needed. Older TV sets may need to be tuned to channel 3 or 4. Then, use the Spectrum remote to select each channel you wish to watch. To ensure reliable operation, confirm the receiver is plugged into a non-switched power outlet (one that is not controlled by a light switch) and that connections on the back are secure. Loss of power to the receiver may result in a temporary loss of your cable television service. Cable jumpers, signal splitters, amplifiers or A/B switches may cause signal degradation if they do not meet Spectrum’s standards. Please contact us for assistance in connecting any additional equipment to your home network, or visit www.spectrum.com/support.
COMPATIBLE REMOTE CONTROLS: Spectrum receivers may work in conjunction with universal remote controls. Spectrum may provide a universal remote, or various models can be found at retail stores. Remote control manufacturers update products frequently, so these exact models may not be available at the time of purchase. Should you have a question about the compatibility of your remote control unit, please call the remote manufacturer, contact Spectrum or visit www.spectrum.net/support.
INSTALLING YOUR DVR AND DVD: Installation of your DVR or DVD can be completed through a variety of different methods, depending upon your viewing and recording requirements. If you need assistance, please visit www.spectrum.net/support or contact your device manufacturer for help understanding how to install DVR/DVD and cable television servicecompatible entertainment components.
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: When you use Spectrum provided equipment, you may not be able to use some features on your TV, DVR/DVD or other connected equipment such as other streaming media devices, gaming consoles, personal assistants and audio equipment. For example, you may not be able to use display features (such as picture-in-picture and channel review), use a DVR/DVD to record one program while watching another, use a DVR/DVD to record consecutive programs on different channels or use your voice assistant to tune to Spectrum content. We may be able to provide you with special equipment, available for lease upon request, to enable you to use these features. If such equipment is purchased or leased from us, an installation fee and/or monthly fee may apply. This equipment may also be purchased from local retail outlets.
Bypass Switches/Splitters – This switch is installed on the input side of the receiver to permit signals to bypass the receiver and be routed directly to your television set, DVD or DVR. This may permit the simultaneous recording and viewing of different non-encrypted programs on consecutive channels. This switch may be part of your receiver or it may be a separate device.
Amplification Equipment - Spectrum’s network is designed to provide the required signal for up to four home devices. In order to comply with signal strength specifications, if five or more outlets or devices are connected to the home network, a signal amplification device may be required. Spectrum will install the amplification device.
As new technologies and services become available, additional compatibility challenges requiring other special equipment may arise. We are committed to helping you get the most out of your cable television service. Please feel free to contact us to discuss the cable setup appropriate for your needs.
A Parental Control feature is available on the cable operator-issued digital receiver to prevent children from watching certain programming. You may place channels under Parental Control by blocking out a specific channel number and/or program rating on the Spectrum receiver. The Welcome Kit provided with the Cable Service includes instructions on how to implement and monitor the Parental Control features. Should you deactivate the Parental Control feature, even for one channel or event, this will deactivate the Parental Control feature for all other channels that were previously locked out. You will then have to reactivate the Parental Control to again block out the desired channels. It is recommended that you occasionally verify that the Parental Control feature is activated and operational. Spectrum does not control or assign the specific ratings of the programming/content. For more information on ratings, please visit www.spectrum.net/support.
REQUEST FOR CONNECTION: Request for connection may be made at the local Spectrum store, via the Internet at www.spectrum.com, by mail or telephone. Customers will be advised of installation and applicable pre-payment amounts. You authorize Spectrum to make inquiries and to receive information about your credit experiences from others, to enter this information in your file, and to disclose this information concerning you to appropriate third parties for reasonable business purposes. Based on the results of a credit check, Customers may be required to provide any applicable pre-payment (based on services requested) or specific payment means as a condition of service, and applicable service restrictions may apply. Someone over eighteen (18) years of age with a government issued picture ID must be present during any installation or repair of your cable television service. Spectrum requires its employees to display identification during visits to a Customer’s service location. Unless otherwise specified, billing begins on the date of physical installation.
A Customer Service Professional is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide service for our Customers. Telephone calls, including requests for installation and service calls, will be answered promptly and are periodically monitored and/or recorded for quality assurance purposes. Installation and service call appointments are scheduled in advance. Customers will be offered a standard installation appointment within 7 business days; this may differ based on the service being requested. Up to four hour windows are available for installation and service call appointments. If we cannot meet a scheduled commitment, we will attempt to notify you and reschedule the appointment for a convenient time. Spectrum will not cancel an appointment after the close of business the day before the scheduled appointment. All installations will be completed in a prompt, courteous and competent manner.
Spectrum Equipment: Spectrum will repair and/or replace defective Equipment, if any, as long as such damage was not caused by misuse or other improper operation or handling by you. Without limitation, Spectrum shall have the right to presume misuse or other improper operation or handling by you in the event you request repair or replacement more than twice in any twelve (12) month period, or more than three times in any twenty-four (24) month period, and shall have no obligation to fulfill any such repair or replacement. Spectrum is not responsible for the maintenance or repair of Customer-provided equipment, including but not limited to telephones, computers, modems, or any other related Customer-provided equipment. A service charge may be imposed upon the dispatch of a technician if there is damage to Spectrum Equipment or Service provided by Spectrum or with respect to the Equipment’s compatibility with any Customer-provided equipment. You are responsible for any misuse of Spectrum’s Equipment, the Service, or any of the third party services that you have contracted for, even if the inappropriate activity was committed by a friend, family member, guest, employee or another person with access to your account. You agree to maintain the security and confidentiality of your user names and passwords or similar credentials that enable you to access the Cable Service. You further agree not to disclose such credentials to any third party. The Equipment, Service or third party services may not be used to breach the security of another user or to attempt to gain access to any other person’s computer, software or data, without the knowledge and consent of such person.
ALL EQUIPMENT IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, AND SPECTRUM HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, AND FITNESS FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE. SPECTRUM SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST BUSINESS, REVENUE, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL) ARISING FROM THE USE, DEPLOYMENT, AND/OR FUNCTIONALITY OF ITS EQUIPMENT.

No payment processor may use this website to effect a payment in the name of a Customer without authorization in writing from Spectrum. Any attempt to do so will be considered an unauthorized interference with the intended operation of the website or phone systems and may result in Spectrum’s failure to process or accept such payment.
PAYMENT BY CHECK; NON-SUFFICIENT FUNDS: If you make payment by check, you authorize Spectrum to collect such payment electronically. You may not amend or modify this Agreement with any restrictive endorsements (such as “paid in full”), releases, or other statements on or accompanying checks or other payments accepted by Spectrum; any of which notations shall have no legal effect. If your card issuer or financial institution refuses payment for insufficient funds, closed or unauthorized accounts, or any other reason, you will be charged an insufficient fund charge (as set forth in the applicable Video Service rate card) for each instance in which such payment is refused. You hereby authorize Spectrum to collect any declined amount and the insufficient funds charge(s) electronically from the subject account. In addition, your Service may be suspended and/or terminated. This fee is in addition to any charges your financial institution may assess. If initially rejected, Spectrum or authorized agents may make additional multiple attempts to execute the payment for up to thirty (30) days following the initial refusal. You will be responsible for any payment processing fees incurred when using a third party to process your payments to Spectrum.
TERMINATION OF SERVICE/DISCONNECTED ACCOUNT: You may terminate Service at a local Spectrum office in person, by written notice, or by telephone. Refunds or credits, if necessary, will be issued after the return of any Spectrum owned equipment.

Upon termination, Spectrum may charge additional fees on any unpaid balance and reserves any and all other rights it has under the terms and conditions of Customer’s service agreement with Spectrum and otherwise under applicable law with respect to billing for Service and unreturned Equipment. A charge for any unreturned Equipment will be posted to Customer’s account and will appear on the next available billing statement. In the event that the Equipment is destroyed, damaged, lost or stolen, or not returned to Spectrum, Customer shall be liable to Spectrum for applicable on-going rental fees and/or unreturned Equipment charges as set forth in Spectrum’s then-current schedule of charges. Further, Customer understands and agrees that Spectrum reserves the right to charge Customer’s credit card on file at termination of Service in the amount of ongoing rental fees, any outstanding balance, and/or any unreturned Equipment charges, in accordance with applicable law.
