arbitrator(s) may award declaratory relief, preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief, and compensatory damages. The Parties further

incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. To the extent such
damages may not be so waived, if an arbitrator decides to award such

arising hereunder shall be transferable by you to any third party
without Company’s prior written consent.

FREEDOMSTARR Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI)
Policy
The information that we have relating to the (1) quantity,
technical configuration, type, destination, location, and amount of
Your use of telecommunications service, and (2) information contained
on Your invoice concerning the telecommunications services that You
receive is subject to additional privacy protections. That
information, when matched to your name, address, and telephone number
is known as "Customer Proprietary Network Information,"
CPNI. Examples of CPNI include information typically available from
details on a customer's monthly telecommunications bill -- the
type of line, technical characteristics, class of service, current
telecommunications charges, long distance and local service billing
records, directory assistance charges and usage, data and calling
patterns. (CPNI does not include Your name, address, and telephone
number, because that information is protected by the general privacy
policy described above.)
As a subscriber to our telecommunications services, you have
the right, and FreedomStarr has a duty, under federal law, to protect
the confidentiality of CPNI. FreedomStarr offers many
communications-related services, such as, for example, Internet
services. From time to time we would like to use the CPNI information
we have on file to provide you with information about our
communications-related products and services or special promotions.
Our use of CPNI may also enhance our ability to offer products and
services tailored to your specific needs. We would like Your approval
so that we, our agents, affiliates, joint venture partners, and
independent contractors may use this CPNI to let You know about
communications-related services other than those to which You
currently subscribe that we believe may be of interest to You. You do
have the right to restrict this use of CPNI. IF WE DO NOT HEAR FROM
YOU WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THIS NOTIFICATION, WE WILL ASSUME THAT YOU
APPROVE OUR USE OF YOUR CPNI FOR THE PURPOSES OF PROVIDING YOU WITH
INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER COMMUNICATIONS-RELATED SERVICES. YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT TO DISAPPROVE OUR USE OF YOUR CPNI, AND MAY DENY OR WITHDRAW OUR
RIGHT TO USE YOUR CPNI AT ANY TIME BY CALLING THE TELEPHONE NUMBER
REFLECTED ON YOUR MONTHLY BILLING STATEMENT. (We will also honor any
restrictions applied by state law, to the extent applicable.)
FreedomStarr also offers various other services that are not
related to the communications services to which you subscribe. Under
CPNI rules, some of those services, such as FreedomStarr video
services, are considered to be non-communications related services.
Occasionally, You may be asked during a telephone call with one of our
representatives for Your oral consent to FreedomStarr's use of
Your CPNI for the purpose of providing You with an offer for products
or services not related to the telecommunications services to which
You subscribe. If You provide Your oral consent for FreedomStarr to do
so, FreedomStarr may use Your CPNI for the duration of such telephone
call in order to offer You additional services.
Any action that you take to deny or restrict approval to use
Your CPNI will not affect our provision to you, now or in the future,
of any service to which you subscribe. You may disregard this notice
if you previously contacted us in response to a CPNI Notification and
denied use of Your CPNI for the purposes described above. Any denial
of approval for use of Your CPNI outside of the service to which you
already subscribe is valid until such time as your telecommunications
services are discontinued or You affirmatively revoke or limit such
approval or denial.
The CPNI Policy above may be required by law to apply to Voice
over Internet Protocol, or, IP voice services.
Notice
Before the initiation of any arbitration between the Parties,
you must first contact our Customer Care Department toll-free at
1-800-352-4340 or in writing at 7985 Santa Monica Blvd #7 Los Angeles,
