What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Windstream Service Agreement's initial term is determined by what is specified in the Service Agreement itself. The agreement becomes effective on the date listed on the Service Agreement, referred to as the "Effective Date," and continues for the duration specified in the Service Agreement, starting from the date the services are installed, known as the "Term."
Upon completion of the initial term, the Windstream Service Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-month periods, each referred to as a "Renewal Term."

It is important to carefully review the service agreement to understand the length of the initial term and the conditions for renewal, including potential rate increases.
