Calculation of Charges
● Hilltop Broadband services are paid for in advance of the service period. For example, if a customer’s billing day
is the 2nd of the month, a bill received on May 2nd is for service between May 2nd and June 1st.
● Charges will be pro-rated for monthly services when switching between active service plans. The maximum prorated changes per billing cycle is 2.
● When switching to a non-active or “Away” billing plan, a pro-rated discount for the plan rate difference between the active and non-active plan rates will be given only during the first 7 days of the billing date.
● When switching to an active plan from a non-active plan, the pro-rated charge for the remaining days in the billing cycle will be assessed.
● Customers using a non-active or “Away” plan rate are required to have 6 months of service with an active plan such as Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum.
● The 6 month minimum requirement will be reviewed twice annually. Customers not meeting the 6 month minimum will be notified and placed on an active service plan to meet this minimum.
Service or Repair Calls for Non-active Accounts.
● Customers that use non-active plans will be assessed a service call fee for any repairs or equipment upgrades.
● Customers using non-active plans should be aware that service may not work correctly after extended periods of being disconnected or powered down. When a customer anticipates returning to an active plan, Hilltop may not be able to dispatch a technician for immediate repairs. Hilltop’s standard service policy is to respond to requests for repairs within 24 hours Monday through Friday.
● In all cases repairs will be subject to availability of repair staff and receipt of required payment for repairs.

● All services are subject to a 30 day advance notice cancellation policy. An exception to this is customers in their first 30 day "money back guarantee" period.

● Credits or refunds may be subject to a processing fee or transaction fee.
● After the first 7 days of a billing cycle credits or refunds will not be offered or allowed.
