Home Protection Plan

Terms and Conditions

You have selected the Blue Stream Fiber Home Protection Plan (the “Plan”) which is a comprehensive wire repair, education and isolation plan provided by Blue Stream Communications. By selecting the Plan, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. In addition, the Plan is subject to Blue Stream’s standard terms and conditions applicable to the Blue Stream Service to which you subscribe.

Under the Plan, and for as long as you subscribe to the Plan, when you notify us of a Blue Stream Service problem, Blue Stream will identify whether the problem is with the inside wire or equipment related to a Blue Stream Service (voice, video or Internet service). Unless excluded below, the Plan covers wiring located on the Customer’s side of the Demarcation Point to the telephone jack, Internet modem/ONT or video receiver in Customer’s premises. The Demarcation Point, for purpose of this Plan, is defined as the wall-mounted NIU/NID Unit on the outside/inside of the Customer’s premises. If the Plan covers the problem, Blue Stream will repair or correct the trouble at no cost to Customer consistent with industry standards. If you do not subscribe to the Plan, you will be subject to Blue Stream’s then current labor charges to isolate or repair the problem. The Plan is only available to Customers who subscribe to Blue Stream Residential Services. For Customers residing in Multiple Dwelling Units (MDU) such as apartments, condominiums, dormitory, co-op or other group facilities, the Demarcation Point is the wall jack or outlet where the Blue Stream Service enters your individual unit.

Subject to any applicable rules or laws, Blue Stream may discontinue the Plan or change any of these Terms and Conditions. Blue Stream will provide thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any material changes in the Terms and Conditions of this Plan. This notice may be included in your monthly bill.

If the Plan is cancelled within six (6) months of exercising any benefits of the Plan, Blue Stream may apply a full service charge for all service calls made during that period.
