Bellingham, WA 98226 which provides Microwave, Wireless, IP Transport, Colocation, Internet backbone connectivity, and other related Services. "The Subscriber" refers to an individual, corporation or legal entity who incurs usage charges for the Company Services, for its own use or who incurs such charges on behalf of a third party user. "The User" refers to any individual who uses the Services provided by Company with the permission of both the Subscriber and the Company.

 

2. BACKGROUND & SERVICE COMPONENTS - 2.1 The Company is in the business of providing Microwave, Wireless, IP Transport, Co-Location, Internet backbone connectivity, and other related Services. 2.2 The Service (“the Service”) to the Subscriber may consist of Internet, Layer2, bridging, or IP transit between its Network-related sites as specified under the Subscriber Agreement (“the Subscriber’s Sites(s)”), including (unless otherwise specified) the Internet Connectivity. Unless otherwise specified in the Service Order, the Company remains the sole owner of all equipment used to provide Services to the Subscriber’s premises and will be removed by Company upon termination of Services. 2.3 Unless otherwise specified in the Service Order, the Service includes the following principal components (“the Service Components”): Connectivity to the Internet using the Company as the Gateway; Port connectivity (upstream and downstream) from the Company’s access devices positioned at the Subscriber’s premises; and, Base Station facilities to backhaul the data from locations as defined in the Service Order.

 

3. SITE SURVEYS (FOR DESIGNATED “POINT-TO-POINT’ CONNECTIONS ONLY) - All designated “point-to-point” connections require a Site Survey for Service viability, determining equipment requirements and signal path coordination prior to Service Set-up at the sole cost to the Subscriber. All costs associated with a Site Survey will be determined by the Company. The Subscriber must submit a signed Service Order with the non-refundable payment prior to Site Survey being performed. Purchase and performance of a Site Survey is not a guarantee of serviceability. Should a Site Survey reveal the potential to provide Service to the Subscriber, an additional (second) Service Order will be required to commence with the actual Set-up. The Company does not guarantee Service availability upon Set-up, nor does it guarantee that the Service will remain available after a successful connection. Should a Technician determine during the Service Set-up appointment that connectivity is not available to the Subscriber, a refund will be processed for the pre-paid Service Set-up fees and first month’s Service fee only as detailed in the Service Order.

 

4. THE SERVICE - 4.1 In conjunction with the signed Service Order(s) placed with the Company by Subscriber, Subscriber shall accept the Terms and Conditions herein by signing and submitting to the Company this Subscriber Agreement which is binding to all Service Orders submitted to the Company, an incorporated therein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between a Service Order and this Subscriber Agreement, the Subscriber Agreement shall take precedence. Unless expressly stated otherwise in a Service Order, activation of a particular Service shall constitute the Company’s acceptance of the relevant Subscriber Agreement.  4.2 In order that it may continue to maintain the level and quality of the Service, the Company reserves the right to change or alter the configuration of the Service Components under the Service Order and this Subscriber Agreement. 4.3 The Service allows the Subscriber to access the Internet (if part of the Service Order). The use of the Internet Service is at risk of the Subscriber and subject to any applicable laws. The Company has no responsibility to any goods, Services, information, software or other materials that the Subscriber obtains when using the Internet. 4.4 Subscriber agrees not to share, or provide Company-owned Services to any third party who is not designated to obtain Services without the consent of the Company. 4.5 All connections will be supplied at half-duplex unless otherwise stated in the Service Order. If the Subscriber requires a full-duplex connection, the Subscriber will be required to commit to pricing for a “point-to-point’ connection provided by the Company’s Sales Department. “Point-to-point” connections are only available to Dedicated Business Connections and are subject to the terms and conditions stated in section three (3) of the Subscriber Agreement.

 

5. SUBSEQUENT SERVICE ORDERS - All subsequent Service Orders submitted by the Subscriber shall be subject to the Terms and Conditions of this Subscriber Agreement or according to any separate and unique Subscriber Agreement associated with the particular Service Order.

 

          6. SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES AND PAYMENT OF FEES - 6.1 Prior to the Service Set-up appointment being scheduled, the Subscriber shall pay to the Company the charges associated with any Service Order issued to the Subscriber by the Company, including without limitation, non-recurring Set-up fees, one full month’s Service fee, equipment rental fees, lease fees, related sales tax or regulatory fees that may apply as set forth on the Service Order. 6.2 Set-up Fees All Set-up Fees are due upon receipt of the invoice.  If after thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the invoice for Set-up Fees the Subscriber has failed to pay the Set-Up Fees, any and all quoted pricing shall be voided, the invoice shall be credited, and the Subscriber Agreement shall be terminated at no further liability to either party. No Service shall be set-up without payment in advance. Except for the first month of Service, fees are not prorated. 6.3 Usage Based Pricing – The Company shall also have the right to establish incremental Service charges for use of Company's Services exceeding stated Gigabyte thresholds as set forth in the Sales Order. Gigabyte overages, if any, will be billed in arrears. For example, incremental usage above the threshold for the month of January will be billed on February's invoice. 6.4 Changes - All fees are subject to change at Company's discretion upon thirty (30) days advance notice. All designated point-to-point connections are subject to a three percent (3%) annual increase). 6.5 Payment Monthly invoices are generated approximately thirty (30) days in advance of due date. With the exception of usage based fees, which will be billed in arrears, payment of all charges are due, including applicable taxes and/or regulatory fees, on the first (1st) day of the Service month. 6.6 Accounts five (5) days past due will be assessed a $25.00 late fee. Accounts more than ten (10) days overdue may be temporarily disabled until full payment, including late fees, is received. 6.7 A $75.00 reconnect fee will be assessed on all disabled accounts.

         7. NO-SHOW/APPOINTMENT CANCELLATION FEES - 7.1 Subscribers who are not present when a Technician arrives for a scheduled Service Set-up appointment, thereby causing a need to reschedule, agree to pre-pay an additional Truck Roll fee of $185.00 prior to rescheduling the new Set-up appointment. Subscribers who cancel a scheduled appointment with the intent not to reschedule for any reason, including but not limited to, Subscriber’s disapproval of required dish/equipment location on Subscriber’s building as determined by the on-site the Company Technician, agree to forfeit the entire pre-paid Set-up fee: the pre-paid first month of Service will be refunded in a timely manner, thereby terminating the Subscriber Agreement.  7.2 Refunds - The Company will void the Service Order and refund Service Set-up and first month’s Service fees if (a) Service speed ordered is found NOT to be available, or (b) The Service is not of an acceptable signal strength per Company specifications on the day of connection. Alternatively, while Technicians are on site, the Service Order may be revised between the Subscriber and the Company’s Sales Department with Subscriber agreeing to accept a lesser Service level (slower speeds at a quality level) whereby the Set-up may proceed. Any credits due for a reduced speed will be applied to the Subscriber’s account. Subsequent appointments for a Set-up of Service at a later date will incur a separate Set-up fee. NOTE: All appointments are considered “Intent to Install”, as no Service can be verified for certainty until StarTouch Technicians are on site and/or equipment is installed.

 

         8. TERM AND TERMINATION OF THE SERVICE BY CUSTOMER - 8.1 The Term for Services is as outlined in the Service Order. This Agreement commences upon the Subscriber's ability to receive IP packets or has received proper notification (“Welcome Letter”) from the Company's Contracts Department, and remains in effect for the selected rate plan period or until terminated as herein provided. Only the first month's Service is subject to prorating based upon turn-up date. All further months of Service will be billed in full and not subject to proration in the event of termination. 8.2 Upon the expiration of the Term set forth in the Service Order, or this Subscriber Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically renew on each Term or Anniversary date, for an additional One (1)-year Term. The initial turn-up of service and the corresponding renewal date is documented on the official “Welcome Letter” and will most often NOT be the date the Service Order/Subscriber Agreement was signed. 8.3 The Subscriber may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days advanced emailed notice to cancelmyservice@startouch.com, or other written notice mailed to StarTouch, Inc. at 454 W. Stuart Rd., Bellingham, WA 98226 prior to the renewal date.  8.4 Early Termination Buyout: Subscriber shall pay to the Company upon early discontinuance of Service the required monthly Service fee equal to the number of months remaining in the current term, in addition to any past due amounts, outstanding Gig usage fees, unrecovered equipment (at replacement value which shall be solely determined by the Company) or other related fees owing or invoiced on the account.

10. SUBSCRIBER-GENERATED SERVICE CALLS –The Service provides for free “basic diagnostic support” during normal business hours Monday through Friday. Subscriber is responsible for and agrees to pay the entire cost of Service calls including labor, materials and equipment for all failures which are not the fault of the Company including without limitation, specialized diagnostic/routing phone support or Truck Rolls to Subscriber’s premises to repair items that include, but are not limited to; damaged cables by animals, re-located dishes after Subscriber’s roofing projects, customer’s failed router or other hardware, customer’s improper internal networking procedures, trees that have grown up to block the StarTouch signal path, Subscriber-generated Radio Frequency interference, etc. Applicable fees are posted on the Support page of the Company website (www.startouch.com) and are subject to change as defined in section six (6) of the Subscriber Agreement.

11. VARIATIONS OF SPEED; SERVICE QUALITY DISCLAIMER -  The speed and bandwidth available to each computer or device connected to the Company’s network, and hence the quality of the Service, may vary for many reasons, within or beyond the control of the Company, including without limitation: (i) the number of users, computers or devices connected simultaneously to the network, and the types of usage in which they are engaged; (ii) the amount of data being transferred over the network, (iii) network signal quality; (iv) performance capabilities of your equipment and the equipment of third parties; (v) terrain and foliage; (vi) weather and atmospheric conditions; and (vii) building structure and materials. Neither the Company nor its affiliates, agents, or suppliers warrant or represent that the equipment or Service (a) will meet your requirements or (b) will be uninterrupted, without delay, error-free, or free from Service degradation.

 

12. SERVICE LIMITATIONS - This Section describes certain Service availability limitations, variations on speed and bandwidth, Service coverage, maintenance outages, how the Company manages the network. 12.1 Availability of Service. The Service may not be available at any or all times in all areas, even within designated coverage areas, and for a variety of reasons that may be beyond the Company’s reasonable control. Service availability, quality, signal strength, and network speeds may vary, be lower than advertised, or be insufficient for your desired use of the Service. 12.2 Maintenance. To provide the best possible Service to its customers, the Company periodically performs maintenance on its network. In some cases, this may require the Company to conduct either a planned or unplanned interruption of the Service. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule maintenance outages in a way that minimizes the impact on customers, but the Company cannot guarantee that your Service will not be interrupted and cannot always give advance notice of such outages. You acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not be responsible for any losses or damages (of any kind) that may be suffered by you as a result of any Service interruptions due to maintenance outages. 12.3 Network Management. The Company reserves the right to engage in reasonable network management to protect the overall integrity of its network, including detecting malicious traffic patterns and attempting to prevent the distribution of viruses or other malicious code, and through techniques such as reducing the aggregate bandwidth available to excessive bandwidth users during periods of congestion. While the determination of what constitutes excessive use depends on the specific state of the network at a particular location at any given time, excessive use will be determined primarily by resource consumption. For further information, please refer to the Company’s Acceptable Use Policy, posted at www.startouch.com, which forms a material part of, and is incorporated by reference within these Terms.

 

13. CREDITS - In the event of a reported interruption of the Service that continues for a consecutive period of twenty-four (24) hours or more, the Company will credit your account for an amount equal to the prorated charges (including any applicable taxes) for your Service during the affected period, provided that you must request the credit within fifteen (15) days of the commencement of the reported Service interruption or degradation. Such request must be made in writing to billing@startouch.com. Alternatively, the Company may elect in its sole discretion to issue credits to customers for Service problems. No credit will be available if the interruption or degradation period results from any "Excluded Causes", (Failed Equipment). Any credit that the Company issues to you pursuant to this Section may be used by you for/toward future Service that you order or purchase from the Company; provided, however, that you specifically acknowledge and understand that such credit shall not be refundable to you, in whole or in part, under any circumstances. THIS SECTION 13, AND SECTION 17.3, SET FORTH YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR ANY INTERRUPTION OR DEGRADATION OF THE SERVICE UNLESS A SEPARATE SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (SLA) IS ORDERED AS REFERENCED IN SECTION 14.  The StarTouch Billing Department may be reached at 888-733-0203, ext. 100.

 

14. SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS (SLA) – For an additional fee, a Service Level Agreement (SLA) guarantees Dedicated Business Internet Access Subscribers with specific levels of network performance associated with Service Availability and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR).
