Wireless Internet Service
Agreement
REVISED: January 2006
This document contains the entire
agreement between Guacamole Press, LLC (dba Yolo Wireless
Internet) and you, the Customer, and no salesperson, installer,
customer service representative, authorized retailer, reseller, or
other similarly situated individual is authorized to change the
terms set forth herein. Guacamole Press may, however, change the
terms and conditions of this Agreement in the future and will notify
you if that occurs. The terms of this Agreement, which either are
expressly stated to survive or by their nature would logically be
expected to survive termination, shall continue thereafter until
fully performed. The validity, interpretation, enforceability and
performance of this agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.
Wireless Services: the term
"Services” shall mean the wireless Internet access made available
and any other wireless services that Guacamole Press, LLC
(“Guacamole Press”) may provide to customers either now or in the
future. Service is considered established by achieving connectivity
to Guacamole Press’s installed Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). You
may not rebroadcast, transmit, share, trade, transfer, etc. your
service with another site (residence, business, etc.) without our
express, written consent. If we later determine that you utilized
your wireless Internet access equipment (including any additional
receivers) or sold, leased or otherwise gave possession of the same
to a third party who you knew or reasonably should have known
intended to use it to permit the access of the Services in a
residential or commercial establishment or any other area open to
the public, we may terminate the Services and in addition to all
other applicable fees, you agree to pay us the difference between
the price actually paid for Services and the full commercial rate
for such Services, regardless of whether we have or had the
commercial rights to such Services. The payment of that amount
and/or the termination of Services shall not prejudice our ability
to exercise any other rights and remedies we may have under this
Agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise.
Equipment Use and Responsibility:
in order to receive the Service it will be necessary for you to
purchase or lease (depending on plan availability and choice) an
approved CPE from Guacamole Press or a third-party vendor. Equipment
purchased from third-party vendors must be pre-approved by Guacamole
Press to ensure compatibility with the network. The Customer is
responsible for the safety and security of the wireless equipment.
Should leased equipment be stolen or damaged, the customer will be
required to pay for applicable equipment replacement and
installation costs beyond that of “normal” wear and tear. The
Customer is advised not to move or tamper with the Service and
equipment once the installation is completed. Line-of-sight to the
signal transmitters (towers or relays) must be maintained. Your CPE
contains certain components and software which are proprietary to
Guacamole Press and/or its vendors. You agree that you will not try
to reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble any software or
hardware contained within your wireless equipment. Such actions are
strictly prohibited and may result in the termination of your
Services and/or legal action. Guacamole Press warrants that your
wireless equipment purchased through us is free of defects in
material and workmanship for a period of one year after initial
purchase, or for the term of your contract (if leasing the
equipment). Guacamole Press does not extend or modify its warranty
period as a result of repair or replacement. Guacamole Press
reserves the right to void a warranty and/or make reasonable changes
for repair of a unit if the warranty seal is broken or the unit
displays evidence of misuse, abuse, or tampering. Whether you use
one of our routers or your own, Yolo Wireless requires access to the
router for tech support, firmware updating, etc. Remote Management
must be turned on and our office must have a record of your login.
Changes in or Cancellation of
Services: except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, you
may change your Service (upgrade or downgrade) at any time by
notifying us. A fee may apply to such changes. You have the right to
cancel your Service for any reason at any time after your agreed
term of Service is complete. There will be no penalty or other fees
imposed for cancellation of Service which occurs after your agreed
term of Service. Your subscription will be automatically renewed on
a month-to-month basis unless you contact us to cancel. Early
cancellation of Service will result in a final billing equal to the
amount owing for the balance of the initial commitment term.
Equipment purchased up-front is owned/retained by the customer,
whereas leased equipment is owned/retained by Guacamole Press and
must be returned upon cancellation of service or a $300 equipment
charge will be applied to your final bill.
Termination or Suspension of
Services: Guacamole Press has the right to terminate your
Services at any time without providing notice to you if: (1) your
account is 30 days past-due; (2) we receive confirmation that you
have received the Services, or any part of the Services without
paying for them; or (3) you otherwise violate the terms of this
Agreement. If your Service is cancelled for any reason, you are
still responsible for payment of all outstanding balances accrued,
including any applicable fees. A service reconnect fee may be due if
an account is suspended for any reason.
Billing Policy: unless you
prepay for a six (6) month subscription for Services, Guacamole
Press will bill your credit card each month, in advance, for
Services (and leased equipment, if applicable) until you cancel the
Services. Accounts unpaid 30 days after due date are in default and
will be disconnected. In order for Services to be restored, all past
due charges, a reconnect fee, and a deposit equal to a minimum of
one (1) month’s charges must be paid. Termination of Service to any
account in default does not relieve Customer of the obligation to
pay past due amounts or the monthly fees for the Services under the
agreed initial term of Service. The Customer hereby authorizes
Guacamole Press to charge the Customer’s credit card on file for any
outstanding balances owed. If the Customer’s credit card is not
sufficient to recoup costs, Customer agrees to pay though other
means in order to satisfy the debt. If we use a collection agency or
attorney to collect money owed, Customer agrees to pay all
reasonable costs of collection or other action including, but not
limited to, the costs of a collection agency, attorney's fees and
court costs.
