Personal information you provide to 6DC is governed by 6DC’s Privacy Policy, which is posted on the Website and is subject to change from time to time.

5. AVAILABILITY OF AND CHANGES TO SERVICE.

5.1 Service and Bandwidth Availability and Speed. The Service you select may not be available in all areas or at the rates, speeds, or bandwidth generally marketed, and some locations may not qualify for the Service even if initial testing showed that your line was qualified. We will provision Service using the maximum bandwidth rate available to your location based on our standard qualification procedures, unless you have selected a level of service with a lower maximum rate. Bandwidth is provided on a per-line (not a per-device) basis. The bandwidth available to each device connected to the network will vary depending upon the number, type and configuration of devices using the Service and the type of use (e.g., streaming media), among other factors. The speed of the Service will vary and the actual data transfer or “throughput” may be lower than your modem sync-rate based on many factors including, but not limited to, network or Internet congestion, the distance and quality of the inside wire used to extend from the network internet device (NID) to the jack location where your modem is based, the quality and distance of the Local Area Network (LAN) wired connection from the modem to your device, your device’s processing power or other limitations or configurations, the number of devices or data streams simultaneously using the connection, and spectral interference, if you are connecting to a modem using a wireless network. 6DC and 6DC’s suppliers reserve the right, at any time, with or without prior notice to you, to restrict or suspend the Service to perform maintenance activities and to maintain session control. For Customers that subscribe to the lease modem or gateway program, troubleshooting and related support is limited to diagnosing the cause or suspected cause of any modem or gateway performance issues and excludes any troubleshooting and support of your computer or other device and any wiring (whether or not directly or indirectly related to the modem or gateway). Any available technical support beyond diagnosing the cause or suspected cause is a chargeable service. In order to properly troubleshoot a modem or gateway performance issue, 6DC may require that you replace the current wiring to ensure proper compliance with the modem or gateway specifications or industry standard guidelines for optimum performance as part of the troubleshooting process and prior to any repair or replacement of a modem or wireless gateway.

5.2 Changes to Service or Features. We reserve the right to change any of the features, Content or applications of the Service at any time with or without notice to you. This includes the portal services we may make available as part of the Service or for an additional charge.

5.3 Force Majeure. If the performance of any obligation of 6DC or its suppliers or providers hereunder is interfered with by reason of any circumstance beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, labor strikes and other labor disturbances, cable cuts, power surges or interruptions or failures of electrical service, changes in laws or regulations or other actions of governmental authorities, or the act or omission of any third party, we shall be excused from such performance to the extent of such interference, provided that 6DC shall use reasonable commercial efforts under the circumstances to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance.

6. SOFTWARE LICENSES AND THIRD PARTY SERVICES.

6.1 We may provide you, for a fee or at no charge, Software for use in connection with the Service. We reserve the right periodically to update, upgrade or modify the Software remotely or otherwise and to make related changes to the settings and software on your computer, tablet or other device or your Equipment, and you agree to permit such changes and access to your device and Equipment. You may use the Software only in connection with the Service and for no other purpose.

6.2 Certain Software may be accompanied by an end user license agreement (“EULA”) from 6DC or a third party. Your use of the Software is governed by the terms of that EULA and by this Agreement, where applicable. You may not install or use any Software that is accompanied by or includes a EULA unless you first agree to the terms of the EULA. Violation of the terms or conditions of the EULA may, in our discretion, result in the termination of your Service.

6.3 For Software not accompanied by a EULA, you are hereby granted a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license by 6DC or its applicable third party licensor(s) to use the Software (and any modifications, updates and upgrades thereto). You may not make any copies of the Software. You agree that the Software is confidential information of 6DC or its third party licensors and that you will not disclose or use the Software except as expressly permitted herein. The Software contains copyrighted material, trade secrets, patents, and proprietary information owned by 6DC or its third party licensors. You may not de-compile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to discover any source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of the Software, otherwise reduce the Software to a human readable form, modify, rent, lease, loan, use for timesharing or service bureau purposes, reproduce, sublicense or distribute copies of the Software, or otherwise transfer the Software to any third party. You may not remove or alter any trademark, trade name, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols, or labels appearing on or in copies of the Software. You are not granted any title or rights of ownership in the Software. You acknowledge that this license is not a sale of intellectual property and that 6DC or its third party licensors continue to own all right, title and interest, including but not limited to all copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, and moral rights, to the Software and related documentation, as well as any modifications, updates and upgrades to it. The Software may be used in the United States only, and any export of the Software is strictly prohibited.

6.4. Your license to use the Software or any ancillary subscription services will remain in effect until terminated by 6DC or its third party licensors, or until your Service is terminated. Upon termination of your Service, you must cease all use of and immediately delete the Software from your computer or other device.

7. PRICING, CHANGES TO SERVICE PLANS AND PAYMENT.

7.1 Prices and Fees; Billing. You agree to pay the monthly fees applicable to your Service, and to pay: (a) applicable taxes, (b) surcharges, (c) recovery fees, (d) telephone charges, (e) activation fees, (f) installation fees, (g) set-up fees, (h) Equipment charges, (i) lease charges, (j) ETFs, (k) paper bill fee, where applicable, and (l) other recurring and nonrecurring charges. The taxes, fees and other charges detailed in (a)–(d) above may vary on a monthly basis. Surcharges and recovery fees are not taxes and are not required by law, but are set by us and may change. You also agree to pay any additional charges or fees applied to your account, including interest and charges due to insufficient credit or insufficient funds. Non-recurring charges such as set up, activation and installation fees and Equipment charges will be included in your first bill. Monthly Service recurring charges will be billed one month in advance and any usage charges will be billed in arrears. Promotional rates may reflect a fixed discount on the monthly base rate for the service and base rates may be subject to change during the Term. Customer shall be liable for the undepreciated list price for any unreturned Equipment. For Customers participating in a lease program, 6DC will repair or replace any damaged leased Equipment (e.g., Internet modem or wireless gateway) at no cost to you; however, 6DC does reserve the right to charge you for the undepreciated list price of the Equipment, not repair the Equipment, or terminate the Service for damaged Equipment that is caused, in 6DC’s sole discretion, by the intentional or repeated careless or negligent acts or omissions of you or a third party. All lease charges for any Equipment are per month, per device. Any Equipment received may be new, repaired, or refurbished. You must subscribe to the Service to participate in the lease modem program. Shipping charges will be incurred by you for the mailing of damaged Equipment, Equipment needing repair, or when returning Equipment, unless 6DC provides you with a pre-paid shipping label. If installation of Equipment is completed by 6DC, an installation charge will also apply to you, unless otherwise agreed to by 6DC or waived as part of a promotion or plan. Based on your election and subject to our approval, 6DC or its agent will bill you directly, or bill your charge card or local 6DC telephone bill (where available). IF YOU ELECT TO BE BILLED ON YOUR 6DC PHONE BILL, BY USING THE SERVICES YOU AGREE TO HAVE ALL SERVICE CHARGES INCLUDED ON YOUR PHONE BILL. Billing for Service will automatically begin on the date provisioning of your Service is complete (“Service Ready Date”). We may, at our election, waive any fees or charges. If you wish to cancel your Service, you may do so by emailing cancelations@6datacenter.com. Customers have the option to either purchase the 6DC modem or wireless gateway for a one-time non-recurring charge (NRC) or lease this Equipment for a monthly recurring charge (MRC). Standard pricing will be applicable at time of placing the Service order. The leased equipment is the property of 6DC. Upon cancellation of Service and unless your Service plan provides for a different period of return, the customer must return the leased 6DC modem or wireless gateway within 10 business days to avoid additional charges for the Equipment, by using the return label included with the Equipment or the return label supplied with the lease Equipment letter.

7.2 Pricing Plans with Minimum Terms. You agree to maintain your Service for the Term that applies to the plan you have selected (a “Term Plan”). Your Term Plan begins on the later of: (a) the date you change your existing Service plan to a Term Plan; or (b) your Service Ready Date. At the end of any Term Plan, you may be given the option to select a new Term Plan. If you do not select a new Term Plan, your Service will automatically convert to a month-to-month Service plan at a monthly fee that may be higher than your current rate. If you select a new Term Plan, the terms of that plan will apply.

7.3  Money Back Guarantee. If we provide a money back guarantee (“MBG”) for your Service, it will begin on your Service Ready Date. During this MBG period you may cancel your Service and receive a full refund of all monthly, one-time and Equipment charges paid to us (provided you return all Equipment as required in good working condition and without damage). If you fail to return the Equipment as required or if it is damaged, an Equipment fee will apply. Except for any unreturned or damaged Equipment, ETFs will not apply to Service terminated within the MBG period. The MBG does not apply to existing customers who change or renew their existing Service. The MBG is limited to one per Customer per Service type per Service address.

7.4 Discontinuation of Service for Nonpayment. We may discontinue Service without notice if you fail to make payment when due for either telephone or Internet Service charges, or if your payment method (i.e., personal check, credit or debit card) is refused for any reason.

7.5 Late Fees. If any portion of your bill is not paid by the due date, we may charge you a late fee on unpaid balances and may also terminate or suspend your Service without notice. If your charges are billed by your 6DC local carrier, the late fee will be equal to the late payment charge that the local exchange carrier applies. Otherwise, the late fee will be the lesser of 1.5 % per month, or the highest rate permitted by law. If we use a collection agency or legal action to recover monies due, you agree to reimburse us for all expenses we incur to recover such monies, including attorneys’ fees.

7.6 Deposits. We may require that you provide us with a refundable deposit (“Customer Deposit”) prior to the provision of Service(s). We may also require an additional deposit after activation of the Service if you fail to pay any amounts when due. Within ninety (90) days of termination of service, we shall return a sum equal to the Customer Deposit, without interest unless otherwise required by law, minus any amounts due on your account including, without limitation, any amounts owed to us for unreturned or damaged Equipment, if applicable. If you fail to pay for the Service when due, we may use the deposit to satisfy amounts due without giving you notice.

7.7 Local Telephone, Toll and Long Distance Charges. 6DC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHARGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LONG DISTANCE AND METERED LOCAL TELEPHONE, TOLL OR LONG DISTANCE CHARGES INCURRED WHEN YOU ACCESS THE SERVICE. YOU SHOULD CHECK WITH THE LOCAL PHONE COMPANY TO DETERMINE WHETHER A CELLULAR NUMBER YOU HAVE SELECTED IS A LOCAL CALL FROM YOUR LOCATION AND WHETHER ANY CHARGES APPLY. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY CELLULAR NUMBERS WE PROVIDE WILL BE A LOCAL CALL FROM YOUR LOCATION. ADDITIONAL CHARGES, WHICH MAY BE SUBSTANTIAL, APPLY TO REMOTE DIAL UP ACCESS, WHICH IS AVAILABLE FROM CERTAIN LOCATIONS ONLY. ALL INTERNATIONAL FEE’S APPLY.

8.1.2 Term Plans; Early Termination Fee. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF YOUR SERVICE IS TERMINATED BY YOU OR BY 6DC BEFORE COMPLETING YOUR TERM PLAN, THEN YOU AGREE TO PAY US THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE AS SET FORTH IN THE PRICING PLAN YOU HAVE CHOSEN.
