ASSUMPTION OF SERVICE
If at any time you elect to have your Service number or Internet site assumed by some other person or entity, you are still responsible for any and all charges incurred under this Agreement up to the date your number is assumed. No assumption of Service will be effective without our consent.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
This Agreement shall take effect when we have approved your request for Service and activated your cellular RTU number. Important: Regardless of the Service Plan you select, by signing the Sales Order Form or Purchase Order Form, you agree to a minimum Service period with us (the "Minimum Term") of one (1) year, two (2) years, or three (3) years (depending on the type of Service Plan you selected). The Minimum Term starts when this Agreement takes effect. Regardless of the type of Service Plan you have selected, the Agreement shall remain in effect throughout the defined Minimum Term.

RATES AND CHARGES: You agree that as long as you subscribe to our Service, you will pay the applicable Service rates for the Service Plan you select, along with all charges properly billed to your account.

Such charges may include (but are not limited to) a one-time activation fee, charges for features, support services, applicable airtime charges, applicable late payment charges, tolls, taxes, governmental fees, and ANY APPLICABLE EARLY CANCELLATION FEES. The first year service, plus appropriate charges as described above is due at the time of sign up. Subsequent years of the term contract signed will be invoiced 60 days prior to the yearly anniversary date. Payment for the next year is required by the due date to keep the service active. At the end of the contract term this agreement will automatically renew for one-year terms; prices are subject to change.

OVERAGE CHARGES: In the event that you use more than the monthly contracted number of transmissions in any given month; you will be responsible for the over usage charges. Over usage charges are billed at the rate of $1.00 per occurrence. Data2-u will invoice these charges on an as required basis. Billing, depending on the overage volume, will take place on an as needed basis as determined by Data2-u and will occur at least once per year. Charges are due when invoiced.

LATE PAYMENTS: Payment of your Service bill is due on the date indicated on the bill. Failure to make a timely payment will result in the shutdown of your service. A reactivation fee of $150 per RTU will be charged to reactivate the service.

CHANGES: We can modify or amend this Agreement at any time by sending you notice in your yearly bill or separately. If you do not agree to the changes made to this Agreement, you must notify us in writing to cancel Service within thirty (30) days of our notice to you and pay all outstanding charges owed to us; otherwise you will be conclusively deemed to have agreed to the changes described in our notice. Such changes may include, without limitation, service rates and charges, Service Plans, billing practices, late charges and any or all other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

EARLY CANCELLATION FEE: Early Cancellation Fees vary according to the Minimum Term and Service Plan chosen. If you select any one- (1) year Service Plan and cancel Service during your Minimum Term, then you are responsible for the entire year’s service charge in addition to all other outstanding charges on your account. If you select any two- (2) year Service Plan and cancel Service during your Minimum Term, then you are responsible for two years service charges in addition to all other outstanding charges on your account. If you select any three- (3) year Service Plan and cancel Service during your Minimum Term, then you are responsible for three years service charges in addition to all other outstanding charges on your account.

RENEWALS AND/OR CHANGES: At the end of your Minimum Term your line will be renewed on the same Service Plan for successive one-year terms until you either instruct us to change your Service Plan, renew your Service Agreement, or disconnect Service.

CANCELLATION OF SERVICE: Service shall not be used for any purpose that violates the law or in any manner that interferes with the use of Service by other customers. Unlawful or interfering uses are grounds for cancellation of your Service. Furthermore, the operating characteristics of your RTU must not interfere with the Service we offer to our customers. We can also cancel your Service if you have made any false statement for purposes of inducing us to extend Services to you. We may also cancel this Agreement if cellular service ceases to be available from the Company affiliate servicing your area.

CHANGE OF SERVICE PLANS: If you change Service Plans you must complete your current Minimum Term to avoid an Early Cancellation Fee unless you change to a new Service Plan with a Minimum Term that is greater than the amount of time remaining on your current Minimum Term. If you change to a plan that requires fewer transmissions or data points anytime during your Minimum Term, a $100.00 Service Transfer Fee will be charged to your account.

DEFAULT: If you do not pay any charges owed to us or if you violate any of the terms of this Agreement, in addition to any and all rights and remedies available to us at law or equity, we have the right to discontinue or restrict any and/or all of your Service either temporarily or permanently. In either case, we shall incur no liability whatsoever. If we refer your account to an attorney or agency for collection, you agree to pay our actual collection costs, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, unless prohibited by law. For each check returned unpaid, we will impose a charge of $75.00 or the highest amount that is allowed by law, whichever is less. If any Service is interrupted, a restoring fee will apply.

CELLULAR RTU: We are not responsible for the installation, operation, quality of transmission or reception or for the maintenance of your cellular RTU. You must provide your own cellular RTU and maintain it. You must also ensure that it is technically and operationally compatible with our system and that it complies with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission.

CELLULAR NUMBER: Subject to any applicable law or regulation, you have no property right or interest in your cellular telephone number. We reserve the right to change your number or to assign it to someone else when we alone consider such a change or assignment necessary to the conduct of our business.

AVAILABILITY: We will use our best efforts to provide you with quality Service, without interruption. Service is available to working cellular RTUs when those units are within the range of cell sites located in a Cellular Geographic Service Area ("Service Area") included within our plan. Service is subject to transmission limitations caused by atmospheric and various other conditions beyond our and our service providers’ control. Service may be temporarily unavailable or limited because of the cellular system's capacity limitations. Service to any or all customers may be temporarily interrupted or curtailed because of equipment modifications, upgrades, relocations, repairs and similar activities necessary for the proper operation of Service.

Where subject to state regulations, Service is offered pursuant to tariffs on file with the local regulatory commissions. Unregulated service is offered pursuant to such terms and conditions as may be determined from time to time by local cellular service providers.

Data2-U and our Service Providers will use its best efforts to maintain Service Coverage throughout the Territory and will further use best efforts to replace any coverage that becomes unavailable for any reason.
