All requests for canceling services must issued via our client-login. Upon cancellation, the DSL customer is responsible to return all AW Broadband DSL equipment, only if requested to by AW Broadband. Upon cancellation, the Colocation customer is required to remove canceled service devices within the 30 day notice period. Failure to remove equipment shall result in continued normal charges for monthly service until all canceled colocated devices are removed or disposed. Canceled colocation devices must be removed during normal business hours (M-Th 9am – 5pm, F 9am – 4pm) by appointment 24 hours in advance of removal to avoid after hours support charges. There is a $25 handling fee plus the cost of packing material and the cost of shipment for shipping each colocation device from the AW Broadband data center. If canceled service devices are not removed within 60 days after last payment or notice of cancellation, AW Broadband may at it’s sole discretion take possession of the device without compensation to the client.

We will make reasonable efforts to provide at least 24 hours advance notice by e-mail for scheduled maintenance. Outages due to scheduled network maintenance are not grounds for any credits or claims for damages. The client understands that the cumulative liability of AW Broadband for any and all claims relating to the services provided, in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total amount of the basic service fees the client paid to AW Broadband for services during the period in question.
