Terms and Conditions of Service
Service Venues
DirecTV and programmers have certain programming restrictions and various rate schedules for different service venues. University Baseline Service is based upon providing standard type basic services (i.e. no Premium, Sports Season Tickets, or PPV programming). Furthermore, University Baseline Service may not be delivered to venues that use such service in part to produce direct or indirect revenue as a result of having programming available (i.e. a sports bar). Campus Televideo and DirecTV reserve the right to make the sole determination as to whether the University Baseline Service offering is appropriate to the specific service locations requested. If it is determined that a particular location is not eligible for University Baseline Service, the Campus Televideo or DirecTV will determine which programming package and rate structure (if any) is appropriate.
Service Charges
Baseline service in Standard Definition (SD) is available to university departments for $19.24 per month per receiver. Baseline Service in High Definition (HD) is available for $26.23 per month per receiver. These subscriptions require that the subscriber purchase each receiver used. See Ownership of Equipment below.
Billing
Billing for Institutional Accounts is done on a calendar quarterly basis. The account may be paid either by credit card or by check. University Baseline Service for multiple locations must combined to a single departmental account. Billing is pro-rated for service start date, but not pro-rated for termination date.
Ownership of Equipment
In order to subscribe to services, you must use a special DirecTV IP enabled receiver. These can be purchased at the time of order. The current cost for this equipment is $100 for the standard definition set-top box; $200 for the HD-DVR set-top box. The equipment has a one year warranty. If you have acquired the equipment from former subscribers, it may be re-used; however re-use of equipment may require a replacement of the conditional access card in the receiver for $25. Equipment charges that apply will be placed on your first service invoice.
Minimum Commitment Period
A minimum of a one-year commitment is required to avoid early cancellation fees. Termination of service to any location before the one-year minimum commitment period may result in an early termination fee of $100 per location. If service to a location is terminated by Campus Televideo or DirecTV for any reason (i.e. determination of improper service venue), then the Minimum Commitment Period provisions of these terms will be waived.
