- After the effective date of the account transfer, the incoming customer is responsible for all billed charges to the account going forward.
- Both parties must agree to these terms to complete the account transfer.

Incoming Customer
-
- If the services you are assuming are under a term agreement, you must maintain the bundled services for the rest of that term.
- A prorated early termination fee of up to $230 applies if you cancel your bundled services early.
- If you only disconnect some of the services that make up your term agreement before that contract expires, you'll likely lose any service discounts that were part of that bundle. You may also be charged an early termination fee for disconnecting those services from a contract before it expires.

Things to Note
-
- If Fios TV service is present on the account, the TV equipment being transferred to the new account owner will retain any existing settings such as parental controls. If a DVR is included on the account, any recorded content will also be retained on that device. The outgoing customer can delete the existing settings and content by resetting the Set-Top box(es). Using the established PIN on the account, the incoming customer will be able to adjust the content and settings to his liking once he assumes ownership of the account.
- For customers with internet service, reset your router to factory settings before disconnecting your service.
- Once the transfer of account ownership is complete, the incoming customer should reset the router’s username and password, and wireless password, including any passwords for a guest network. We strongly recommend that the incoming customer reset the router’s security to WPA2. If the router is not reset, the incoming customer will need the router username and password, and wireless password, from the outgoing customer or will need to reset the router by the incoming customer. The incoming customer will be responsible for the router settings at the time of account transfer and the additional security risks presented until the router settings are reset and changed after the account transfer is completed. To reset the router, use a paperclip to press and hold down the router reset button for at least 10 seconds.
- If, for any reason, the Change of Account Ownership order is canceled before the order is complete, the outgoing customer will remain financially responsible for the account and the transfer of ownership will not occur. A new order will need to be placed to re-establish the change in account ownership request.
