CommandIQ Application Terms & Conditions

This IMU Fiber CommandIQ Mobile Application End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a binding agreement between you (“End User,” “Subscriber,” or “you”) and Indianola Municipal Utilities (“IMU”), doing business as IMU Fiber (“IMU Fiber”). This Agreement governs your use of the IMU Fiber CommandIQ Mobile Application through the Apple App Store, including all related documentation, (the “Application”). The Application is licensed, not sold, to you.

BY CLICKING THE “ACCEPT” BUTTON, CHECKING “I ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS,” OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE APPLICATION, YOU (A) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT; (B) REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO A BINDING AGREEMENT; AND (C) ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY BOUND BY ITS TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE APPLICATION.

This Agreement supplements, and is subject to, the IMU Communications Utility Policy (the “Communications Utility Policy”), which governs your IMU Fiber internet service and is available at www.indianola.com or upon request from IMU’s Customer Service Office at 210 W 2nd Ave, Indianola, Iowa 50125. Your use of the Application is subject to both this Agreement and the Communications Utility Policy. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the Communications Utility Policy, the Communications Utility Policy shall control.

 

1. Application Description and Functionality. CommandIQ is a mobile application that allows Subscribers to manage and monitor their home Wi-Fi network through the IMU Fiber internet service. The Application’s features may include, but are not limited to, viewing connected devices, managing network settings, creating user or device profiles, receiving network-related notifications, running speed tests, and accessing other IMU Fiber-supported network management features made available through the Application from time to time.

 

2. Network Performance and Prioritization

IMU Fiber uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with a reliable and high-quality internet connection. However, the Application’s features, including any network traffic prioritization, bandwidth allocation, or device management tools, manage how your available bandwidth is distributed among devices and applications on your home network. These features do not increase the total bandwidth available to your connection and cannot overcome performance limitations caused by factors outside IMU Fiber’s control.

Your actual network experience may be affected by factors outside IMU Fiber’s reasonable control, including without limitation: (i) the performance, age, configuration, or compatibility of your personal devices, routers, or other subscriber-owned equipment; (ii) the number of devices simultaneously connected to your home network; (iii) Wi-Fi signal degradation caused by physical obstructions, distance from the ONT, building construction materials, or radio frequency interference from neighboring networks or household electronics; (iv) congestion, outages, or performance limitations on third-party networks, Internet backbone infrastructure, or content delivery platforms beyond IMU Fiber’s network boundary; (v) throttling, geo-restrictions, server-side limitations, or capacity constraints imposed by third-party application or content providers; and (vi) any other conditions or circumstances beyond IMU Fiber’s reasonable control.

Your internet service, including connection speed, data throughput, and service availability, is subject to the terms and limitations of the IMU Communications Utility Policy, including without limitation Sections 4.8 and 4.10 thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any service-level commitment, performance guarantee, or standard of service beyond what is provided in the Communications Utility Policy.

 

3. License Grant. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, IMU Fiber grants you a limited, non-exclusive, and nontransferable license to download, install, and use the Application for your personal, non-commercial use on a mobile device owned or otherwise controlled by you (“Mobile Device”) and through IMU Fiber-provided ONT hardware, strictly in accordance with the Application’s documentation.
