a. If a Valley technician makes a visit to your home and finds the problem is with the Valley equipment (outside your home), the repair will be made at no charge. If the technician determines the problem is not with the Valley equipment, then the problem most likely exists with the jacks and wiring in your home and you will be charged a $80 trouble isolation charge. If you choose to have the technician make the repair in your home, you will also be billed for time and materials. Any charges incurred will appear on your next monthly bill.

b. If you have a wire maintenance plan, there is no charge for trouble isolation or repairs made to existing jacks and wiring.

Wire Maintenance is an optional line maintenance program that covers the telephone wiring and jacks inside your home in case of damage. With wire maintenance you are not charged for service calls to repair your inside wire and jacks.

Your first bill will include a prorated charge for the partial month of service plus a full month in advance for monthly service charges. For example, if you connect service in the middle of the month, your first bill will include prorated amounts for half a month, plus the month in advance.

E-911 stands for Enhanced 911. E-911 is a North American telecommunications based system that automatically associates a physical address with the calling party's telephone number, and routes the call to the most appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for that address. The caller's address and information is displayed to the call taker immediately upon call arrival. This provides emergency responders with the location of the emergency without the person calling for help having to provide it. This is often useful in times of fires, break-ins, kidnapping and other events where communicating one's location is difficult or impossible.

Your E-911 location address is required to connect service because it gives emergency personnel a site location of your physical address.

When the agreement is due to expire, the service will be continued month to month automatically unless you have informed your provider to cancel it. After your agreement term is completed, you are entitled to cancel your service at any time.
