Payment, Billing and Service Information

Payment Information:

1. Authorization to convert your Check to an electronic funds transfer: By sending your check to us as payment, you authorize us either to use info from your check to make a one-time electronic funds transfer from your account or to process the payment as a check transaction.
2. Payment is due by the date indicated on the front of your bill. If you're a TV customer, payments not received within 15 days of the due date may be sent to collections and will be assessed a late fee if not paid within 30 days of that date. Additionally, you'll receive written notice of service interruption for non-payment. If you're not a TV customer, payments not received within 2 days of the due date will be assessed a late fee and sent to collections within 13 days of that date. You'll continue to be charged a fee of $10 on each subsequent past due bill if payment is not received by the due date indicated.
3. Payments can be made at no charge through our automated phone system by calling Customer Support. Follow the phone prompts to set up an automated payment by check or credit card. Entering your Optimum account number and zip code authorizes an ACH debit entry to your bank account that can only be revoked by speaking with a representative.
4. If your service is interrupted for non-payment, payment of the past due amount and applicable restoration charges are required before service is restored. Service interruption will affect TV, internet, and phone services. If your service is disconnected for non-payment, full outstanding balance, a re-installation fee up to $79.95, and one month's service in advance will be required before a re-connection is scheduled.
5. You're responsible for lost, damaged or unreturned equipment and will be charged the full replacement fee for each. For list of current replacement fees, visit optimum.com/pricing Other Services & Charges.
6. If your bank returns your check unpaid, you'll incur a $20 fee.

Billing Information:

1. Billing errors must be reported to us within 30 days, in writing, detailing the error and sent to the Customer Support address on your bill. We'll investigate and reply within 10 days.

4. On Demand/PPV purchases aren't subject to refund or credit. Use parental control features to avoid unwanted purchases.
5. If your monthly account balance for On Demand/PPV selections exceeds $55 ($175 for customers in good standing after 90 days), we reserve the right to limit additional On Demand/PPV orders.
6. There is an additional monthly charge for equipment, including cable boxes and remote controls. There is also a monthly fee to access premium or digital programming on additional TV sets in your home.
7. Your monthly bill includes all government fees. These fees are a percentage of your total monthly cable bill paid to your state and local governments under the terms and agreements with them to provide cable service.

TV Taxes and Fees includes payments required under Optimum's franchise agreement to support public, educational or government channels.
