Mobil
Satellite Technologies SkyEdge Terms & Conditions
READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE
MOBIL SATELLITE TECHNOLOGIES SKY EDGE SERVICE.
1. AGREEMENT
This is an agreement between Mobil Satellite
Technologies and you for us to provide Mobil Satellite Technologies SkyEdge Service ("the Service"). By establishing an account,
using the Service or equipment, you agree to be bound by this Agreement
and to use the Service in compliance with the Mobil Satellite Technologies
Internet Service Agreement used to order your SkyEdge service.
2. TERM
The initial term of this agreement begins on
your account billing start date and continues for twelve (12) months.
Your account billing start date is the date your service is activated. At the conclusion of each twelve month term, this Agreement will renew for an additional 12 months unless cancelled in writing 90 day prior to the expiration of the previous 12 month term. Mobil Satellite Technologies reserves the
right to change the price of the Service at any time after the initial
term upon 30 days notice. Prices for other Mobil Satellite Technologies
services may change at any time upon 30 days notice and will be
posted on the Mobil Satellite Technologies website at: www.Mobilsat.com.
Current rates may also be obtained by calling 1-757-312-8300.
3. THE SERVICE
The Service does include one Static IP address.
The Service speed can vary depending on location,
storm activity, Internet traffic, and other factors beyond the control
of Mobil Satellite Technologies. Mobil Satellite Technologies provides
the Service on a "best effort" standard and does not guarantee
upload or download speeds.
The service is designed to provide access to the public internet,
primarily for web browsing and email. Certain applications like
VoIP, teleconferencing, and streaming media are designed to use
a constant amount of bandwidth, and as a result consume more network
resources than normal Internet access. Use of these applications may result in additional charges or reduction of
throughput levels. The service is not intended to be used to run
constant bandwidth usage.
4. CANCELLATION
If you need to cancel your Mobil Satellite Technologies SkyEdge Service after the expiration of your current 12 month term,
you may send a written request to Mobil Satellite Technologies
Customer Service by fax to (757) 282-7702. To process
your cancellation request, we require that you provide the following:
(1) Written request submitted on company letterhead by your billing
contact , (2) Your customer name as it appeared on your Order Form,
(3) Current phone number, (4) Reason for canceling service, and
(5) minimum notice of cancellation of 90
before the intended cancellation date.
Cancellation, downgrading or changing (to Dial Up, DSL, Cable, T-1,
etc.) the Service by you before the initial term of the agreement
ends will result in an early termination fee.The early termination
fee is equal to the monthly billing amount of the service plan your
service was initiated on, multiplied by the number of whole or partial
months remaining in the current 12 month term. After the completion
of the current 12 month term, if cancelled in writing in accordance
with the above portion of Section Four, cancellation will be effective
at the end of the billing cycle following the billing cycle during
which the notice of cancellation is received and processed, providing
that any applicable cancellation fees have been paid by Customer.
Cancellations
can not be accepted and processed, and the service may not be canceled
until any applicable cancellation fee has been paid. Mobil Satellite
Technologies may terminate this Agreement, your account, or your
use of the Services for any reason, including, without limitation,
if Mobil Satellite Technologies, in its sole discretion, believes
you have violated the Agreements or if you fail to pay any charges
when due. Termination notice will be by email or U.S. Mail to the
address you provided for the Service. All notices to you shall be
deemed to be received and effective on the first (1st) day following the date of the
email or on the fourth (4th) day following the date of the mailing.
