COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK, UNAUTHORIZED USAGE OF DEVICE, FIRMWARE OR SOFTWARE

The Service, any Devices or Equipment, and any firmware or software used to provide the Service or provided to the User in conjunction with providing the Service, or embedded in the Devices or Equipment, and all Services, information, documents and materials on KwiKom Websites are protected by trademark, copyright or other intellectual property laws and international treaty provisions. All of KwiKom’s websites, corporate names, service marks, trademarks, trade names, logos and domain names (collectively “marks”) are and will at all times remain the exclusive property of KwiKom. Nothing in this Agreement grants User the right or license to use any KwiKom marks.

User has not been granted any license to use the firmware or software used to provide the Service or provided to the User in conjunction with providing the Service, or embedded in any Devices or Equipment, other than a nontransferable, revocable license to use such firmware or software in object code form (without making any modification thereto) strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. User expressly agrees that any Device or Equipment is exclusively for use in connection with the Service and that KwiKom will not provide any passwords, codes or other information or assistance that would enable User to use such Device or Equipment for any other purpose. KwiKom reserves the right to prohibit the use of any interface equipment that KwiKom has not provided to the User. User hereby represents and warrants that User possess all required rights, including software and/or firmware licenses, to use any interface equipment that KwiKom has not provided to User. In addition, User shall indemnify and hold KwiKom harmless against any and all liability arising out of User’s use of such interface equipment with the Service. User shall not reverse compile, disassemble or reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to derive the source code from the binary code of the firmware or software.

User shall not change the electronic serial number or equipment identifier of any Device or perform a factory reset of any Device without prior written consent from KwiKom. KwiKom reserves the right to terminate User’s Service if KwiKom believes, in KwiKom’s sole and absolute discretion, that User has tampered with any Device. In the event of such termination, User will remain responsible for any termination fees as provided for in this Agreement. User shall not attempt to hack or otherwise disrupt the Service or make any use of the Service that is inconsistent with its intended purpose.

SECURITY

User can best control the risks associated with security, and are therefore solely responsible for maintaining and upholding the account security of their Service. KwiKom will not be responsible for any disruption of Service, corrupted files or viruses which affect the User of the Service. It is User’s responsibility to safeguard User’s network and equipment through appropriate means (e.g. using commercially available software), from theft, unauthorized use or system corruption. Any detriment caused to the network as a result of User’s failure to properly secure User’s network and devices may result in the immediate termination of User’s Service. User is entirely responsible for any actions, damages, or costs incurred via their account, regardless of who is using that account.

SERVICE CHARACTERISTICS

Service Availability – The Service is subject to availability as it is contingent on available KwiKom facilities and unique signal path conditions between such facilities and the User premises. Due to the nature of the Service technology, KwiKom reserves the right to deem the Service unavailable to the User up to, including, and after the installation. KwiKom assumes no liability whatsoever for any claims, damages, losses or expenses arising out of or otherwise relating to the unavailability of the Service in User’s geographical area, for any reason, even where such unavailability occurs after installation of the Service.

Service Plans – KwiKom offers a range of Service plans with different speeds and data usage. Service plans are subject to availability and may include other promotional terms and conditions. If User changes or upgrades their Service plan, any special or other promotions may be subject to discontinuance or removal.

Performance Levels – Speed is a function of the traffic experienced upon the wider network architecture of the Internet itself. KwiKom Services are provided as “up-to” speeds and KwiKom does not guarantee the maximum Service performance (throughput speeds) levels. KwiKom will make every reasonable effort to ensure that Users receive the speeds under the Service plan they signed up for throughout most of a User’s daily use and reflecting performance under ideal conditions. KwiKom is not responsible for speeds from points anywhere else on the internet and User understands that content that User may access through the Service may be subject to “caching” or several other factors that are beyond KwiKom’s control.

Throughput Volume – Depending on the Service plan signed up for, an account will have a standard quota for disk space and data usage. At KwiKom’s discretion, additional quota may be added to such an account for a recurring fee, based on KwiKom’s then-current rates. Data usage on an account above User’s limit will result in additional fees as set forth in the Additional Fee Statement (as defined herein).

Network Management – User understands, acknowledges and agrees that KwiKom may use various tools and techniques in order to efficiently and reasonably manage its networks as provided in KwiKom’s Open Internet Statement which may be updated from time to time. Consistent with its Open Internet Statement, KwiKom may employ traffic-management technology to allocate bandwidth across all of its customers and has the right at all times and without notice to remove, restrict access to or make unavailable any information or content residing on KwiKom’s servers.

IP Addresses – Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses are not portable and are not assigned for independent administration or distribution. Customer understands that IP assignments are not guaranteed, and may be modified as required by KwiKom and/or the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN).

EQUIPMENT

KwiKom Equipment – KwiKom will provide User the authorized wireless or wired Equipment for use with the KwiKom Service. Only KwiKom Consumer Premises Equipment (“CPEs”) are permitted and authorized to be connected to the Service. KwiKom will own the CPE installed at the User location, and will monitor and upgrade said CPE as KwiKom determines to be necessary and appropriate.

User Equipment – It is User’s responsibility to ensure that User’s computer system meets the current minimum system requirements stated by KwiKom as being necessary to use the Service. From time to time, the computer equipment required to access and use the Service may change. Accordingly, User’s computer equipment may cease to be adequate to access the Service. In such event, User’s sole remedy will be to upgrade computer equipment or terminate this Agreement. It is possible for hardware and software below KwiKom’s stated minimum requirements to work on KwiKom’s network. However, KwiKom does not guarantee service with hardware lower than the following requirements and the use of older software can expose User and User’s data to viruses and other security risks.

• Windows System Desktop or Laptop Microsoft Windows 7 or newer; Pentium Processor 1 GHz, or equivalent, 1 GB of memory (RAM), 16 GB of free hard drive space, 16bit colors at 1024×768 resolution, and Ethernet card (NIC) or WAN Card (WiFi).
• Macintosh System MAC OS 10.6 or newer; Intel Core 2 Duo processor or newer, 2 GB of memory (RAM), 8 GB of free hard drive space, Ethernet or WiFi Card (NIC).

CANCELLATION / TERMINATION / CHANGE IN SERVICE

If User chooses to cancel the Service at any point after the order is placed, but before the Service has been activated, User will not be invoiced and will not be charged a processing fee. If User wishes to cancel the Service before Service has been activated, the User is required to notify KwiKom of User’s intent to cancel prior to activation by calling KwiKom customer service at 888-9-KwiKom (59-4566).

User may terminate the Service at any time upon notice to KwiKom. Termination is effective on the date you contact KwiKom to cancel the Service or as of a future date designated by User or KwiKom, provided KwiKom can support such future date. HOWEVER, PAID CHARGES ARE NOT SUBJECT TO REFUND SO IF USER CANCELS SERVICE BEFORE THE END OF A BILLING CYCLE, THERE WILL BE NO PRO-RATED REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-MONTH PERIODS REMAINING AFTER THE TERMINATION DATE.

Upon a change or upgrade to a Service plan, any special or other promotions applied to User’s account may be subject to discontinuance or removal if such promotion is no longer available.

Termination of the Service does not affect User’s obligations under this Agreement, including User’s obligation to pay all fees for Services rendered prior to termination. KwiKom accounts must be paid in full before a cancellation will be considered complete.

If all Equipment provided by KwiKom is not returned within 30 days of cancellation or termination of Service, User agrees to pay KwiKom the fees as set forth in the Additional Fee Statement (as defined herein).

User authorizes KwiKom and its agents to charge to any credit/debit card or electronic check on file with KwiKom for: equipment replacement charges, fees for Services rendered prior to termination,  associated collection or late fees. If KwiKom is unable to obtain a charge authorization for the full amount due, User agrees to provide alternative payment in the form of a money order, cashier’s check, or other certified bank check within 10 days of notification of the amount due. User bears all risk of loss of, theft of, casualty to or damage to the Equipment; from the time it is shipped to the User until the time (if any) when it is returned to KwiKom in accordance with this agreement.

Upon the termination of User’s Service, KwiKom may, in its sole and absolute discretion, release to the User’s new service provider the telephone number that User ported (transferred or moved over) to KwiKom from User’s previous service provider and used in connection with User’s service if: such new service provider is able to accept such number; User’s account has been properly terminated; User’s account is completely current, including payment for all charges and applicable termination fees; and User requests the transfer upon termination of the account.

TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION BY KWIKOM

Inappropriate use or abuse of the Services by User, as determined in the sole discretion of KwiKom, may result in account suspension, termination, and/or legal action. Inappropriate use or abuse of KwiKom Services by others can be traced, documented, and reported to appropriate authorities and may be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

KwiKom may terminate your account immediately if it determines, in its sole discretion, that User has violated any of the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to KwiKom’s Broadband Internet Acceptable Use Policy. KwiKom reserves the right to unilaterally terminate or suspend an account at any time, without providing a reason.

Further, KwiKom may terminate User’s Service for any reason by providing written notice to User at least fifteen (15) days prior to the termination date.

If User’s Service is terminated by KwiKom for any reason, User will remain fully liable and responsible to pay any fees that are still owed to KwiKom pursuant to this Agreement and for all costs KwiKom incurs to collect such amounts, including, without limitation, collection costs and attorney’s fees.

FEES, PAYMENT AND BILLING

Fee Changes – User acknowledges and agrees that KwiKom has the right to change its Service fees, additional fees, or add new fees at any time, upon notice to the User.

User authorizes KwiKom, and its employees, agents, contractors, and authorized representatives to enter User’s premises in order to install, maintain, inspect, repair and remove the Equipment and/or Services. If User is not the owner of the premises, upon request, User will supply KwiKom with the owner’s name and address and written consent or other evidence that User is authorized to grant access to the premises on the owner’s behalf or KwiKom may request permission from the owner to install the Services on the premises. This Agreement is contingent upon KwiKom’s obtaining a right of entry onto the premises and KwiKom shall not have any liability if access or right of entry to the premises is denied or limited for any reason.
