Customer Service Agreement

This Agreement describes the terms and conditions between you and Mercury Wireless, Inc. and its subsidiaries and/or affiliates and/or distribution partners referred to herein collectively and individually as (“Mercury Wireless”, “Mercury”, “Us” or “We”) applicable to the Mercury Wireless services. This agreement contains important contract rights, limitations of those rights, and obligations between you and Mercury Wireless. You may call us at (800) 354-4915 or email us at support@mercurywireless.com.

1. The Service. The Service consists of Internet access service as further described in this Agreement (the “Service”). The Service is available in various locations in the contiguous U.S. and its usage is subject to Mercury’s Acceptable Use Policies. To receive service, a Mercury authorized installer must install the Mercury customer premises equipment at your location.
2. Minimum System Requirements. Each device receiving the Service must meet certain minimum requirements. As a general rule, any device capable of supporting standard IP protocols should be able to receive the service. Ensuring devices will be capable of receiving the service will be the sole responsibility of the customer.
3. Service Commitment.
   • Service Term Commitment. If you terminate service prior to the expiration of the Service Term Commitment, you will owe (and your credit card, debit card, or bank account may be charged) the Early Termination Fee of $200.00.
   • Term and Renewal. The term of this Agreement commences on the date your Service is activated and continues for the duration of the Service Term Commitment unless terminated earlier by you or Mercury Wireless in accordance with this Agreement. After the Service Term Commitment expires, the term of this Agreement will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis until terminated by you or Mercury Wireless in accordance with this Agreement.
4. Responsibilities and Supervision.
   • Account Setup. Installation services for the Equipment will be provided by a Mercury-authorized installer and for verifying and maintaining the account, options, settings and other parameters under which the Service is used, including (without limitation) all related passwords and user identification information.
   • Multiple use of Account. The service plan you ordered does not limit the number of computers at your location that may receive services under a single billing account. However, your “location” does not include adjacent apartments, residences, offices or any type of space not associated with your home or place of business. Any use of the Service other than as specified above constitutes an unlawful and unauthorized use of the Service and a material breach of this Agreement, regardless of whether you receive any compensation for such use, and may result in the immediate termination of the Services and the imposition of the Early Termination Fee, without prejudice to any rights and remedies available to Mercury under this Agreement, at law and at equity.
   • Installation of Equipment. You represent that there are no legal, contractual or similar restrictions on the installation of the Mercury Equipment in the location you have authorized. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable building codes, zoning ordinances, homeowners’ association rules, covenants, conditions, and restrictions related to services provided under this Agreement, to pay any fees or other charges, and obtain any permits or authorizations necessary for services provided under this agreement (collectively “Legal Requirements”). You are solely responsible for any fines or similar charges for service in violation of any applicable Legal Requirements. You acknowledge and agree that Mercury or our designated service installer will be required to access your premises or system and to install and maintain the Equipment, including the antenna and its components, necessary for you to receive the Service inside and outside your location. By signing this Agreement, scheduling a service or installation visit, and permitting us or our service provider to enter your premises, you are authorizing Mercury, authorized Mercury vendor, or our service provider to perform all of the above actions. NEITHER MERCURY NOR OUR VENDORS OR SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY LOSSES RESULTING FROM INSTALLATION, REPAIR OR OTHER SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGE TO YOUR PREMISES, LOSS OF SOFTWARE, DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION FROM YOUR COMPUTER(S). You are responsible for backing up the data on your computers and we highly recommend that you do so prior to permitting access to us or one of our designated service providers. This limitation does not apply to any damages arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any installation or maintenance service provider. Timeframes for installation, if any, are not guaranteed and may vary depending on the types of services requested and other factors.
     • Subscriber Responsibility. You agree that you are responsible for all access to and use of the Service through your account or password(s) and for any fees incurred for Service, or for software or other merchandise purchased through the Service, or any other expenses incurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. You ratify and confirm any obligations a household member, employee, or any other individual with access to your account incurs or assumes. You acknowledge that (subject to any exceptions granted by us) a monthly fee payable in advance will apply for each and every month (or portion of a month) that you are a subscriber, beginning with the date your Service is activated. Your account will continue until you cancel the account in accordance with the method specified by us (unless otherwise terminated in accordance with this Agreement). The monthly subscription fee shall cease to apply for any months after the billing month in which you cancel or terminate your account in accordance with these terms and conditions.
     • Billing and Charges. You agree to pay, in accordance with the provisions of the billing option you selected, any registration, activation or monthly fees, ISP service charges, minimum charges and other amounts charged to or incurred by you, or by users of your account, at the rates in effect at the start of the billing period in which those amounts are charged or incurred. You agree to pay all applicable taxes related to your use of the Service, provision of services, software or hardware or the use of the Service by users of your account. Information on charges and surcharges (if any) that are to be paid to us and are incurred by you or by users of your account will be made available to you on the Mercury website, and you agree that this is sufficient notice for all purposes as to charges incurred and paid or to be paid to us. You understand and agree that you will not receive a paper invoice in the mail for your Service. An electronic statement will be provided to you on request. Additional terms relating to pricing, billing and payment which are an integral part of this Agreement are set forth on the Mercury Wireless Firm Order Commitment and are incorporated into this Agreement. Mercury reserves the right to correct and charge under-billed amounts for a period of 90 days after the incorrect statement was issued. Payment of the outstanding balance is due in full each month.
     • Late Payment. If we do not receive your payment before the next invoice is issued, you may be charged a late fee on the delinquent balance at the greater of 1.5%/month or $5.00/month as permitted by applicable law. If we do not receive payment from you before your next statement is issued, we have the right to suspend your Service or terminate this Agreement without notice. Termination of the Agreement by us due to your default or nonpayment will result in a Termination Fee owed by you.
   • Payment Authorization. Except where additional methods of payment are specifically required or permitted under applicable law or regulation or as otherwise agreed to by Mercury from time to time, you agree that Mercury can charge your credit card or debit card (“Card Payment”), or initiate an electronic funds transfer out of your bank account (“EFT Payment”) for payment of all Service fees, the Termination Fee or any other amounts payable under this Agreement. Additionally, you agree that Mercury will bill your monthly Service fee in advance, and automatically be collected through either a Card Payment or EFT Payment. With respect to such charges the following authorization applies: You agree that the charges described above will be billed to the credit or debit card provided by you when you applied for the Service until such time as you may authorize recurring EFT Payments. You must provide current, complete, and accurate information for your billing account, and promptly update any changes (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, credit card expiration date, bank account number). Changes to such information can be made by calling Mercury Wireless or updating them on the Mercury website. If you fail to provide us with any of the foregoing information, you agree that Mercury may continue charging you for any service provided under your account. You agree that Mercury will not be responsible for any expenses that you may incur resulting from overdrawing your bank account.
   • Disputes and Partial Payments. If you think a charge is incorrect or you need more information on any charges applied to your account, you should contact our billing department. You must contact us within 45 days of receiving the invoice on which the error or problem appeared. Mercury will not pay you interest on any overcharged amounts later refunded or credited to you. We may, but are not required to, accept partial payments from you. If partial payments are made, they will be applied to amounts owed by you starting with the oldest outstanding statement. If you send us checks or money orders marked “payment in full” or otherwise labeled with a similar restrictive endorsement, we can, but are not required to, accept them, without losing any of our rights to collect all amounts owed by you under this Agreement. If we choose to use any collection agency or attorney to collect money that you owe us or to assert any other right that we may have against you, you agree to pay the reasonable costs of collection or other action including, but not limited to, the costs of a collection agency, reasonable attorney’s fees, and court costs.
   • Reactivation. If your Service is suspended or terminated, including for failure to submit payment on time or for any other reason, in addition to payment of past due amounts, we may require a deposit before reactivating your Service. The amount of the deposit will not exceed one year of monthly fees. Amounts deposited by you will appear on your statement as a credit, and service charges and other fees will be invoiced as described above. If you fail to pay any amount on a subsequent bill, the unpaid amount will be deducted each billing cycle from the credit amount. Credit amounts shall not earn or accrue interest. If your Service is suspended or terminated for any reason, including at your request or because of your failure to pay past due amounts, and you want to reactivate the Service, you agree to pay a reactivation fee in accordance with our then current rates. In addition you must bring your account up to date through the month of reactivation by making payment in full of any outstanding balance, fees and other applicable charges.
5. Modifications, Rights of Cancellation or Suspension.
   • Modification of this Agreement. Upon notice published over the Service, we may at any time (and from time to time) modify this Agreement, including, without limitation, our pricing and billing terms.

If you do not agree to such changes or additions, then you must terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.3 and stop using the Service prior to the effective date of such modifications.

The provisions of any Sections of this Agreement, which by their nature should continue, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
    • Miscellaneous. If any term of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be construed in such a way as to eliminate the offending aspects while still giving as much effect as possible to the intentions of such term. If this cannot be done and the entire term is invalid, illegal or unenforceable and cannot be so repaired, then the term shall be considered to be stricken from this Agreement as if it had not been included from the beginning. In any such case, the balance of this Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its remaining terms notwithstanding such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term. We may enforce or decline to enforce any or all of the terms of this Agreement in our sole discretion.
