Your Responsibilities

You agree to purchase Internet Services from Calpine Wireless, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Customer Responsibility

You have certain responsibilities as a party to this agreement. Another section describes Calpine Wireless’ responsibilities. You acknowledge that you accept this Agreement on behalf of yourself, your users and all persons who use the equipment and/or service through this equipment. You have the sole responsibility for ensuring that all other users understand and comply with the terms and conditions of this agreement, whether such breach is the result of the use of the Service and/or Equipment by you or another user. You agree to use your Calpine Wireless supplied service from your own premises. You agree to provide Calpine Wireless with accurate and complete billing information, including your legal name, address, and telephone number. If your address, phone number, name or other billing information changes, you will notify us within 30 days or your service may be suspended. By ordering and paying for an Calpine Wireless service, you affirm that you are 18 years of age or older.

What happens if I break this agreement

If you default or break this agreement, Calpine Wireless may temporarily suspend or permanently close some or all of your service. Calpine Wireless alone makes this decision. Suspending or closing your service does not limit Calpine Wireless’ remedies or incur any liability to you (that is you don’t have to be credited down time as a result of you defaulting). “Default” means failure on your part to comply with this agreement. This includes getting behind on your payments and breaking the provisions of this agreement or associated policies, but is not limited to these situations. If you use your own equipment with service provided by Calpine Wireless in violation of any of the provisions of this agreement, Calpine Wireless will notify you and take such action as is necessary for the protection of the service for user by its other customers. This may include disconnecting your service. Calpine Wireless reserves the right to charge a disconnect and/or reconnect fee for any discontinued service.

Calpine Wireless’ Responsibilities

Calpine Wireless has certain responsibilities as a party to this agreement. Another section describes your responsibilities. Calpine Wireless agrees to provide you with the service and required special equipment, provided that you comply with all the terms and conditions of this agreement. Calpine Wireless also agrees to maintain the equipment provided by us. Another section details the terms over equipment. We will do our best to provide uninterrupted service. However, like any other telecommunications service provided, the service may experience temporary slowdowns or interruptions caused by: overload, abuse, equipment modifications, upgrades, relocations, or repairs, and similar activities necessary for the proper operation and supply of the service, or disasters (see “force majeure” in another section). Calpine Wireless will provide basic instructions on how to use the service. These instructions will be provided during the time of your installation by our installer. You are also entitled to technical support for the Calpine Wireless provided equipment or service via phone or e-mail. We cannot provide technical support for any hardware, software or operating systems not provided by Calpine Wireless. If an Calpine Wireless technician or representative is asked to provide support or repair for software or hardware that is not supplied by Calpine Wireless, a $50.00 labor charge may be applied to your next bill. If our technician is called out and the equipment at fault is not Calpine equipment a $50.00 labor charge will be applied to your next bill. If Calpine Wireless cannot be made to work at your location because of distance, hills, trees, or any other cause, you will be refunded 100% of any payments you have made to us, subject to this agreement. You must return the equipment in good condition. Calpine Wireless has no other liability if your location proves impossible to provide the service for.

Force Majeure (Disasters, Etc)

Neither you or Calpine Wireless is liable for any delay or failure in performance of any part of this agreement caused by any force majeure event even beyond your, or our, control and without your, or our, fault or negligence. These events include, but are not limited to, the events known legally as “Force Majeure”. Force Majeure refers to a number of situations that could affect you and Calpine Wireless in performing your, or our, obligations: acts of civil or military authority, terrorist acts, nuclear accidents, government regulations, riots, strikes, embargoes, insurrections, extended power blackouts, natural disasters, epidemics, fires, severe weather conditions, environmental disturbances, war, explosions, legal and/or regulatory constraints.

If a Force Majeure condition occurs, the party injured by the other party’s inability to perform has two options (detailed below). The injured party has 30 days to choose which one. If the injured party does not inform the other within 30 days of being notified of a Force Majeure situation, the second option goes into effect.

Option One: The injured party may terminate the agreement if such Force Majeure condition results in a delay or failure to perform which continues for more than 30 calendar days.

Option Two: The injured party may suspend the service for a duration of the delaying cause and buy a similar service. After the emergency is over, this agreement and service will continue.

Paying for your Calpine Wireless service

The price you will pay Calpine Wireless is the monthly rate and other fees and charges such as equipment leases and applicable taxes as established from time to time by Calpine Wireless. Calpine Wireless reserves the right to modify the rates, fees and charges at any time. You have the right to be notified of price changes at least 30 days before the new rate takes effect. You acknowledge that you may incur additional charges while using the service. If you make purchases over the Internet, those transactions are between you and the seller, and have nothing to do with your relationship with Calpine Wireless.

Payment

Calpine Wireless will charge your credit card periodically as agreed when you signed up for service. You will be sent a statement by postal mail, or to the e-mail address provided when you signed up for service before payment is due. Payment will be deemed made when received by Calpine Wireless.

Term

This agreement becomes effective on the date on which you order your Calpine Wireless service. Your first payment is due at the term your service is connected. This is also your start-of-service date. Your payments are due on the 10th day of every month. T

Credit for Down Time

Although we intend to maintain your service at all times, you have the right to be credited if through our negligence you lose service via Calpine Wireless for more than 24 hours. In such a case, we will credit you 1/30 of the monthly base charge for each 24 hour period from the time of notice of interruption until the service restoration. The 24 hours must be continuous. You cannot add up shorter periods. To receive credit, you must notify the Calpine Wireless office that your service is not working. Most types of outages do not qualify for credit. Please read the next section for your information.

Events that don’t qualify for credit

Most temporary service outages do not qualify for credit. You will not get credit for problems in the Service caused by your own or other’s negligence or willful act (except as provided above) or for problems caused by weather or disaster-like situations. Please see Force Majeure. “Willful acts” include system failures caused by viruses, “hacking”, “cracking”, and other forms of remote malice. You will not get credit for loss of connectivity caused by technicians working to modify or repair Calpine Wireless’ equipment. You will not get credit for loss of connectivity less than 24 hours long. Calpine Wireless may, however, issue credit on a case-by-cause basis at Calpine Wireless’ discretion. If you believe that Calpine Wireless has billed you in error, you must contact us or call within 30 days of the invoice or statement date. Refunds or adjustments will not be given for any charges more than 60 days old.

Deposit

Calpine Wireless may require a deposit to commence the supply of service.

Closing your Account

You will pay Calpine Wireless in full for your use of the Equipment and the Service up to the effective date of termination of this Agreement or the date on which the Service and Equipment have been disconnected and returned to Calpine Wireless, whichever is later.
