  • All accounts are set up on a postpaid basis. Payment must be received by SPARK I/T Services before any billable product or service is provided/activated.

  • All international customers must pay by credit/debit card. SPARK I/T Services does not accept international checks.
  • Subscription billing is based on availability of products and services, not based on usage. However, fax and voice broadcast service fees are usage based. Email overages are billed as an additional charge as well.
  • Customers are responsible for keeping all credit/debit card details and contact information current. This can be done online through the Customer Center. To access the Customer Center, customers should login to their SPARK I/T Services web site and click Support and submit to us via ticket any credit card /billing contact changes or updates.”
  • All recurring subscriptions are automatically invoiced and charged to the credit/debit card on file.
  • Invoice and payment receipts are available to customers upon request or through the Customer Center.

Billing Cycle

  • Credit/Debit Card Billing: All credit/debit cards are automatically charged on the customer’s specific billing cycle date. If the credit/debit card is declined, SPARK I/T Services will attempt to charge the card on file for 30 days.
  • All monthly invoices are issued on the first (1st) of each month and are due on the fifteenth (15th) of each month without exception.
  • Late Fee: All accounts more than 30 days past due may be assessed a late fee. No fewer than three attempts to contact the customer will be made before any late fee is assessed.
  • Delinquent Accounts: All accounts 30 days past due may be disabled until balances are paid in full. When disabled, all access will be suspended and data will be unavailable.
  • Deactivation: After an account is delinquent 60 days, it will be cancelled due to nonpayment. Once cancelled, the customer will not be able to recover any files until the account is current. Application data will be stored for 90 days post cancellation. After that, application data will not be available. The account record and delinquent balance will be submitted to a third-party collection service.

Fees

  • Late Fee: SPARK I/T Services may assess a $15.00 late fee for accounts 30 days past due.
  • Chargebacks: If a customer initiates a chargeback, SPARK I/T Services may assess a $50.00 processing fee for each individual chargeback.
  • Returned Checks: SPARK I/T Services may assess a $50.00 processing fee on all returned checks.
  • Collections Fee: In the event an account is submitted to a third-party collections service, a $15.00 processing fee may be assessed to the existing account balance. This fee is in addition to any other fees previously assessed on the account.
  • Interest: Any charges not paid when due are subject to interest at a rate equal to the lesser of: (i) one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month; or (ii) the maximum interest rate allowed by applicable law

Spark I/T Services – Provided Services

To help you succeed and get the most from SPARK I/T Services, The Kickstart Service package is mandatory for new SPARK I/T Services customers. Services must be used within 30 days from the date of purchase. Service fees are nonrefundable. In the event of cancellation, SPARK I/T Services will not prorate any portion of unused service fees, and all outstanding invoices must be paid in full.

Subscription Billing

Invoices are generated and payments are collected at the beginning of each billing period. Customer billing periods typically begin on the day of the month in which customers purchase their SPARK I/T Services subscription. Customers may cancel their subscriptions at any time. In the event of cancellation, customers will still have access to their applications through the end of their current billing period. SPARK I/T Services will not prorate any portion of unused subscription services. All subscription fees are nonrefundable.

Payment Methods

SPARK I/T Services accepts payments via credit/debit card. Payment by any other means, such as by check, is on a per-customer basis and must be agreed to by SPARK I/T Services. Checks must be paid in U.S. dollars and issued from a U.S. bank. Payment by check is acceptable only for prepayment of six or twelve months of subscription services. SPARK I/T Services currently accepts American Express, MasterCard, Discover, and Visa credit/debit cards. We also accept PayPal

Cancellations

Cancellations must be done verbally through an SPARK I/T Services representative. Email requests to cancel do not constitute acceptance of any cancellation. Only verbal requests made with an SPARK I/T Services representative will create a cancellation request. Customers are encouraged to keep records of all cancellation communication. Cancellations will take effect on the last day of the billing period in which the cancellation request was received.

All SPARK I/T Services VoIP Accounts require 90 days written notice to cancel. Any DID port request will be rejected unless all invoices are paid up in full to the port date.

Closing an account with SPARK I/T Services cannot be done by simply canceling the credit/debit card. SPARK I/T Services will continue to treat this as an open account and the billing cycle will continue, resulting in a past due account that may be turned over to a third-party collection service. It is imperative that account cancellation is done by speaking with an SPARK I/T Services representative to ensure account closure.

Cancellation of an account does not dismiss outstanding invoices. At the time of cancellation, any outstanding balance must be settled. All cancelled accounts with an outstanding balance may be automatically turned over to a third-party collection service.

Billing Disputes

As a current or prior customer of SPARK I/T Services, each customer agrees to provide SPARK I/T Services 30 days to attempt settlement of any billing dispute before disputing with any third-party credit/debit card company or bank. SPARK I/T Services must be the first option in billing disputes. Should SPARK I/T Services receive a chargeback from a third-party credit/debit card company or bank on the customer’s behalf before SPARK I/T Services has been given a chance to resolve the issue, SPARK I/T Services has the right to collect on the rendered services and any fees associated with those disputes. Regardless of the outcome of the chargeback, SPARK I/T Services retains the right to collect on any rendered services or fees that are due. SPARK I/T Services will submit any disputed amounts to a collection agency. Once a chargeback has been received, SPARK I/T Services will immediately suspend the account until the matter is resolved.

We use third-party advertising companies and advertising networks to serve advertisements to You on our behalf when You visit our Website, and to optimize advertisements. These, and other companies may use information (typically not including Your name, address, email address, or telephone number, but sometimes including Your company name and job title gathered from Your SPARK profile information) about Your visits to a SPARK Platform and other Websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to You, as well as to provide us with information that is intended to make our Platforms and Services better, and for other business reasons. They, or we, may do this by using cookies, pixels, and web beacons, among other things. (See, e.g.,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_beacons .) see this link ( http://www.sparkitservices.net) for additional information regarding these sites, services, technologies, and tools, their privacy policies (which we encourage You to read), and how You may opt-out of the uses of such technologies.

In the past, some advertising companies and networks have been sued for allegedly using what are called “local shared objects” or “respawning cookies” (including by using Adobe® flash cookies). Although we attempt to contractually require that these companies shall always allow the end-user (You) to easily and completely uninstall any means of tracking the end-user without regenerating the means of such tracking, we cannot assure that this will occur and, therefore, You consent to these types of practices.

In particular, You are advised that the United States of America uses a sectoral model of privacy protection that relies on a mix of legislation, governmental regulation, and self-regulation. Article 26 of the European Union’s Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC, 1995 O.J. (L 281) 31) allows for transfer of personal data from the European Union to a third country if the individual has unambiguously given his consent to the transfer of personal information, regardless of the third country’s level of protection. By agreeing to the terms of use and this privacy policy, You consent to the transfer of all such information to the United States of America, which may not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in the European Union and to the processing of that information by SPARK on its servers located in the United States of America as described in this Privacy Policy.

For sending out promotional emails, email campaigns, etc., we recommend using the Mailing Lists feature rather than using your email account. Upon detection of such mails going through the regular mailing system, such mails will get classified as spam even though the recipient might have opted in for receiving such mails. This would lead to immediate cessation of mail sending capabilities for the user or the domain name. Frequent violation would lead to permanent suspension of the domain name.

(13) Send emails with malicious content.

Certain relevant Documents, other than domain name whois details, with respect to company and domain names/website ownership will need to be presented when requested. Having the same whois details for all domain names in your Multi-Domain Hosting Order will not be enough to substantiate ownership.

(7) Store a large number of media files (audio, video, etc.), wherein the limit is at Parent’s sole discretion.

(8) Send over 100 messages per hour per user and/or 300 messages per hour for a domain name. Receive a high volume of emails, by a user or domain name, in any given period of time.

CUSTOMER’s continued use of the Services after notice of the change, shall be considered CUSTOMER’s acknowledgement and acceptance of the changes. The current version of the Terms of Service may be found at “www.sparkservices.net” under “Terms of Service/Policies.” CUSTOMER may not modify the General Terms below, the Service-specific Terms of Service, or the SPARK Services CUSTOMER Privacy Notice by making any typed, handwritten, or any other changes to it for any purpose. This is a binding legal document.

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION IN SECTION 24, WHICH INCLUDES A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND PROVISIONS FOR OPTING OUT OF ARBITRATION, WHICH AFFECTS CUSTOMER’S RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO ALL SERVICES.

1. Payment of Charges

CUSTOMER will be billed monthly in advance for Services to be received, plus pro-rata charges, if any, for periods not previously billed. CUSTOMER will be billed monthly for Services Requested where charges are based on actual usage or on Requests placed during the previous month. CUSTOMER shall pay all monthly charges and all applicable fees and taxes as listed on the SPARK Services monthly bill. CUSTOMER shall notify SPARK Services of disputed items within thirty (30) days of receipt, or longer as required by applicable law. Failure to pay charges billed (including checks returned for insufficient funds) may result in discontinuance of Service, the removal of all SPARK Services Equipment (as defined below) and/or imposition of a late payment or service charge. If the CUSTOMER has more than one account (business and/or residential) served by SPARK Services, all SPARK Services-provided Services at all locations may be subject to suspension or discontinuance of Service in the event any one account remains unpaid, and SPARK Services may apply any funds received from CUSTOMER first to such delinquent account(s). Should CUSTOMER wish to resume a Service after any suspension, CUSTOMER may be subject to a reconnection fee. Should CUSTOMER wish to resume a Service after termination of Service, SPARK Services may charge an installation fee and/or service activation fee. These fees are in addition to all past due charges and other fees. In the event collection activities are required, an additional collection charge may be imposed. The CUSTOMER’s first bill may include prorated charges for Service received. If partial payment is made of any bill and without waiving its right to collect the full balance owed, SPARK Services will apply that payment to any outstanding charges in the amounts and proportions that it determines.

2. Payment by Check; Non-Sufficient Funds/Returned Items; Third Party Processing

If CUSTOMER makes payment by check, CUSTOMER authorizes SPARK Services to collect such payment electronically. CUSTOMER may not amend or modify this Agreement with any restrictive endorsements (such as “paid in full”), releases, or other statements on or accompanying checks or other payments accepted by SPARK Services; any of which notations shall have no legal effect. If CUSTOMER’s card issuer or financial institution refuses payment for insufficient funds, closed or unauthorized accounts, or any other reason, CUSTOMER will be charged an insufficient fund charge for each instance in which such payment is refused. CUSTOMER hereby authorizes SPARK Services to collect any declined amount and the insufficient funds charge(s) electronically from the subject account. In addition, CUSTOMER’s Service may be suspended and/or terminated. This fee is in addition to any charges CUSTOMER’s financial institution may assess. If initially rejected, SPARK Services may make additional multiple attempts to execute the payment for up to thirty (30) days following the initial refusal.

Customer shall be responsible for any payment processing fees incurred when using a third party to process Customer’s payments to SPARK Services.

3. SPARK Services Refund Policy/30-Day Guarantee

New CUSTOMERs (those who have not been SPARK Services customers for 90 days prior to subscription) qualify to have all levels of subscription Service refunded/credited if not fully satisfied with the service. Current CUSTOMERs adding a new level of Service qualify to receive a refund/credit only on those newly added Services not received within the previous 90 days. Such refund is valid for customers who pay for their first month of new or upgraded monthly recurring subscription Services. Non-recurring subscription purchases are not refundable in addition to any installation fees that may apply. CUSTOMER is limited to one refund or credit per household for a maximum of 30 days of Service. Refunds/credits will be given only when request for cancellation of Service is received by SPARK Services within 45 days of installation of Service (30 days subscribing to the Service, plus 15-day grace period for formal request of refund/credit). Any equipment associated with the new subscription must be returned prior to release of refund/credit. Any state taxes, telecommunications service fees and other fees or charges that may apply are the responsibility of the CUSTOMER and will not be refunded or credited. Other restrictions per any offer may apply.

4. SPARK Services Property

All SPARK Services-provided equipment distributed to and/or installed for use in the CUSTOMER’s service location(s) by or on behalf of SPARK Services (“Equipment”) remains the property of SPARK Services. None of the Equipment shall become a fixture. SPARK Services Equipment is intended to service and reside at the specific Service location and is not to be used or relocated off premises without SPARK Services authorization. CUSTOMER must return all Equipment upon substitution of use or termination of Service. Failure to do so will result in a charge to be determined in accordance with SPARK Services then- current schedule of charges for non-returned Equipment, which amount shall be due immediately. CUSTOMER agrees to pay such charge whether the Equipment is lost (through theft or otherwise), damaged or destroyed.

5. Disruption of Service

All services provided by SPARK Services are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. In no event shall SPARK Services be liable for any failure or interruption of Service, including without limitation those failures and interruptions resulting in part or entirely from circumstances beyond SPARK Services’ reasonable control. Subject to applicable law, SPARK Services may give credit with respect to CUSTOMER’s recurring monthly subscription fee for qualifying outages of Services.

6. SPARK Services Equipment

SPARK Services will repair and/or replace defective Equipment, if any, as long as such damage was not caused by misuse or other improper operations or handling by CUSTOMER. SPARK Services shall have the right to presume misuse or other improper operations or handling by CUSTOMER in the event CUSTOMER requests repair or replacement more than twice in any twelve (12) month period, or more than three times in any twenty-four (24) month period, and shall have no obligation to fulfill any such repair or replacement. SPARK Services is not responsible for the maintenance or repair of CUSTOMER- provided equipment, including but not limited to telephones, computers, modems, monitors, or any other related CUSTOMER-provided equipment. A service charge may be imposed upon the dispatch of a technician if there is damage to SPARK Services Equipment due to negligent use or abuse or if no fault is discovered in SPARK Services’ system(s) or Equipment. SPARK Services makes no warranties, with respect to Equipment or Service provided by SPARK Services or with respect to the compatibility of the Service or the Equipment with any CUSTOMER- provided equipment.

ALL EQUIPMENT IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, AND SPARK SERVICES HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, AND FITNESS FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE.

SPARK SERVICES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST BUSINESS, REVENUE, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL) ARISING FROM THE USE, DEPLOYMENT, AND/OR FUNCTIONALITY OF ITS EQUIPMENT.

SPARK Services’ sole obligation and CUSTOMER’s sole remedy with respect to any liability or damage caused by CUSTOMER’s use or deployment of SPARK Services Equipment, shall be a refund of fees paid by CUSTOMER for such Equipment for the previous billing month/cycle.

CUSTOMER is responsible for the repair and maintenance of CUSTOMER-provided equipment and/or software.

CUSTOMER warrants that CUSTOMER is either the owner of such equipment or that CUSTOMER has the authority to give SPARK Services access to it.

8. Taxes/Fees

9. Care of SPARK Services Property and Service

CUSTOMER agrees that neither CUSTOMER nor any other person (except SPARK Services authorized personnel) will: (A) open, tamper with, service, or make any alterations to the Equipment; nor (B) remove or relocate any Equipment from the service address of initial installation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of a request by CUSTOMER, SPARK Services shall relocate the SPARK Services Equipment for CUSTOMER within CUSTOMER’s home at a time mutually agreed to by SPARK Services and CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER may incur a charge for such relocation and should consult a current SPARK Services schedule of rates and charges prior to requesting such relocation. If the CUSTOMER moves residences outside of SPARK Services’ service area, CUSTOMER shall notify SPARK Services that this Agreement shall be terminated and the provisions of Section 13 shall apply to such termination.

10. Access to CUSTOMER Premises

CUSTOMER authorizes SPARK Services and its employees, agents, contractors and representatives to access and otherwise enter the CUSTOMER’s premises to install, inspect, maintain and/or repair the Equipment and, upon the termination of Service, to remove the same from the premises. SPARK Services’ failure to remove its Equipment shall not be deemed an abandonment thereof. If the installation and maintenance of Service are requested at Premises that, in SPARK Services’ sole discretion, are or may become hazardous or dangerous to our employees, the public or property, SPARK Services may refuse to install and maintain such Service.

11. Recording of Communications

Customer acknowledges and agrees that all communications between Customer and SPARK Services may be recorded or monitored by SPARK Services for quality assurance or other purposes.

Failure of SPARK Services to remove such Equipment shall not be deemed abandonment thereof. CUSTOMER shall pay reasonable collection and/or attorney’s fees to SPARK Services in the event that SPARK Services shall, in its discretion, find it necessary to enforce collection or to preserve and protect its rights under this Agreement. SPARK Services may terminate this Agreement or SPARK Services may reject an application or block access to or use of any component of any Service provided by SPARK Services for any reason including, but not limited to, if:

e. Renewal after Cancellation or Termination: CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees that in the event of renewal after cancellation or termination of a SPARK Services Service, CUSTOMER shall be subject to the pricing, warranties, and Terms of Service as are effective at the time of such renewal.

14. Security Deposit

Any security deposit required of CUSTOMER for the Equipment or SPARK Services’ Service will be due and payable upon the first monthly billing.

15. Advance Payment

CUSTOMERs who are unable or unwilling to provide information to establish credit worthiness or who have an unsatisfactory credit rating may be required to make an advance payment. The advance payment will be equal to the applicable installation charge and one month of recurring charges, excluding taxes, fees and surcharges.

24. ARBITRATION

The following provisions are important with respect to the Agreement between CUSTOMER and SPARK Services regarding services provided by SPARK Services.
PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS EACH PROVISION. This Agreement requires the use of arbitration to resolve disputes and otherwise limits the remedies available to CUSTOMER in the event of a dispute.

Subject to the “Exclusions” paragraph below, SPARK Services and CUSTOMER agrees to arbitrate disputes and claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Services or marketing of the Services CUSTOMER has received from SPARK Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action on any matter or subject in small claims court.

THIS AGREEMENT MEMORIALIZES A TRANSACTION IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE.THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written notice of intent to arbitrate, entitled “Notice of Intent to Arbitrate” (“Notice”). The Notice to SPARK Services should be addressed to: CEO, SPARK Services, 105 North York Street, Muskogee, OK 74403 (“Arbitration Notice Address”). The Notice must: (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, CUSTOMER or SPARK Services may commence an arbitration proceeding, in which all issues are for the arbitrator to decide (including the scope of the arbitration clause), but the arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

The arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and the arbitration shall be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at “www.adr.org,” by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Arbitration Notice Address.

SPARK SERVICES SHALL BEAR THE COST OF ANY ARBITRATION FILING FEES AND ARBITRATOR’S FEES FOR CLAIMS OF UP TO $75,000. CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OTHER ADDITIONAL COSTS THAT CUSTOMER INCURS IN THE ARBITRATION INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ATTORNEYS FEES OR EXPERT WITNESS COSTS UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED OF SPARK SERVICES UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

If the arbitrator’s award exceeds $75,000, either party may appeal such award to a three- arbitrator panel administered by the AAA and selected according to the AAA Rules, by filing a written notice of appeal within 30 days after the date of entry of the arbitration award. The appealing party must provide the other party with a copy of such appeal concurrently with its submission of the appeals notice to AAA. The three-arbitrator panel must issue its decision within 120 days of the date of the appealing party’s notice of appeal. The decision of the three- arbitrator panel shall be final and binding, except for any appellate right which may exist under the Federal Arbitration Act.

The parties may agree that arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents submitted to the arbitrator, via a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by AAA rules.

CUSTOMER AGREES THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, CUSTOMER AND SPARK SERVICES ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY.

Unless SPARK Services and CUSTOMER agree otherwise in writing, all hearings conducted as part of the arbitration shall take place in the county (or parish) of CUSTOMER’s billing address.

The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the party seeking relief, only to the extent sought, and only to the extent necessary to provide the specific relief warranted by such individual’s claim.

The parties agree that the arbitrator must give effect to the terms of this Agreement.
CUSTOMER AND SPARK SERVICES AGREE THAT CLAIMS MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN CUSTOMER’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON BEHALF OF, OR AS PART OF, A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Furthermore, unless both CUSTOMER and SPARK Services agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings or more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this specific paragraph is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of these arbitration provisions shall be null and void and rendered of no further effect with respect to the specific claim at issue.

Right to Opt Out. If CUSTOMER does not wish to be bound by these arbitration provisions, CUSTOMER must notify SPARK Services in writing within 30 days of (a) the date that this arbitration provision becomes effective, if CUSTOMER is an existing customer, or (b) the date that CUSTOMER first subscribes to the Service(s). CUSTOMER may opt out by mail to the Arbitration Notice Address. CUSTOMER’s written notification to SPARK Services must include CUSTOMER’s name, address, and SPARK Services account number as well as a clear statement that CUSTOMER does not wish to resolve disputes with SPARK Services through arbitration. CUSTOMER’s decision to opt out of this arbitration provision will have no adverse effect on CUSTOMER’s relationship with SPARK Services or the delivery of Services to CUSTOMER by SPARK Services.
Severability. If any clause within these arbitration provisions is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from these arbitration provisions, and the remainder of the arbitration provisions will be given full force and effect.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, IN THE EVENT SOME OR ALL OF THESE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS IS DETERMINED TO BE UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, OR IF A CLAIM IS BROUGHT THAT IS FOUND BY A COURT TO BE EXCLUDED FROM THE SCOPE OF THESE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS, BOTH PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, ANY TRIAL BY JURY.

For purposes of the foregoing sentence only, in the event such waiver is found to be unenforceable, it shall be severed from this Agreement, rendered null and void and of no further effect without affecting the rest of the arbitration provisions set forth herein.

EXCLUSIONS. CUSTOMER AND SPARK SERVICES AGREE THAT THE FOLLOWING CLAIMS OR DISPUTES SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION:

(1) ANY INDIVIDUAL ACTION BROUGHT BY CUSTOMER OR BY SPARK SERVICES ON ANY MATTER OR SUBJECT THAT IS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF A COURT THAT IS LIMITED TO ADJUDICATING SMALL CLAIMS.

(2) ANY DISPUTE OVER THE VALIDITY OF ANY PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

(3) ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM ALLEGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH UNAUTHORIZED USE OR RECEIPT OF SERVICE.

The foregoing arbitration provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

No undertaking, representation or warranty made by an agent or representative of SPARK Services in connection with the sale, installation, maintenance or removal of SPARK Services’ Services or Equipment shall be binding on SPARK Services except as expressly included herein. CUSTOMER agrees that, if any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed consistent with applicable law as nearly as possible, and if severed or rendered null and void thereby, the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. If SPARK Services fails to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement, it does not thereby waive any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provision of this Agreement.

If Customer owns or controls the Service Location(s), Customer grants SPARK Services permission to enter the Service Location(s) for the exercise of such right. If a Service Location is not owned and/or controlled by Customer, Customer will obtain, with SPARK Services’ assistance, appropriate right of access. If such right of access for SPARK Services is not obtained by either party, then SPARK Services’ obligations with respect to such Service Location shall be considered null and void.

14. DEFAULT; SUSPENSION OF SERVICE; TERMINATION

No express or implied waiver by SPARK Services of any event of noncompliance shall in any way be a waiver of any further subsequent event of noncompliance. Nothing herein, including Termination, shall relieve Customer of its obligation to pay SPARK Services all amounts due.

(a) Default by Customer

Customer shall be in default under this Agreement if Customer does one or more of the following things (each individually to be considered a separate event of default) and Customer fails to correct each such noncompliance within 30 days of receipt of written notice (“Default”):

i. Customer is more than 30 days past due with respect to any payment required hereunder;

ii. Customer otherwise has failed to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Service Request(s) incorporated herein.

(b) Termination for Convenience

Notwithstanding any other term or provision in this Agreement, Customer shall have the right to terminate a Service Request, or this Agreement in whole or part, at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to SPARK Services, and subject to payment of all outstanding amounts due, any applicable Termination Charges, and the return of any SPARK Services Equipment.

(c) SPARK Services’ Right to Terminate and Termination Charge

If Customer is in Default, SPARK Services shall have the right, at its option, without prior notice, and in addition to any other rights of SPARK Services expressly set forth in this Agreement and any other remedies it may have under applicable law to:

i. Immediately suspend Services to Customer until such time as the underlying noncompliance has been corrected without affecting Customer’s on-going obligation to pay SPARK Services any amounts due under this Agreement (e.g., the MSFs) as if such suspension of Services had not taken place;

ii. Terminate the Services, this Agreement or the applicable Service Request(s).

If Termination is due to Customer Default or is elected/done by Customer for convenience, Customer must, upon request, pay SPARK Services a Termination charge (a “Termination Charge”), which the parties recognize as liquidated damages. This Termination Charge shall be equal to 50% of the unpaid balance of the MSFs that would have been due throughout the applicable Service Period plus 100% of (1) the outstanding balance of any and all OTCs plus (2) any and all previously waived OTCs.

(d) Default by SPARK Services

SPARK Services shall be in default under this Agreement if SPARK Services fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement and/or any or all of the applicable Service Request(s), and SPARK Services fails to remedy each such noncompliance or occurrence within 30 days of receipt of written notice from Customer describing in reasonable detail the nature, scope and extent of the default or noncompliance (“SPARK Services Default”).

(e) Customer’s Right to Terminate and Termination Charge

i. In the event Customer wishes to terminate a Service without cause, Customer shall be liable for the same Termination Charges as described above.

ii. Customer shall have the right, at its option and in addition to any other remedies it may have, to terminate any applicable Service Request(s), if the underlying event of SPARK Services Default is limited to Services provided under the applicable Service Request(s) or this Agreement, if such SPARK Services Default is not so limited.

iii. If Termination is due to SPARK Services Default, SPARK Services shall reimburse Customer for any pre-paid, unused MSFs attributable to such terminated Service Request(s). In addition, if Termination is due to SPARK Services Default within one year of the applicable Turn-Up Date, SPARK Services shall pay a Termination Charge, which the parties recognize as liquidated damages, equal to a portion of any OTC that has already been paid by Customer to SPARK Services relative to Service at the sites covered by the terminated Service Request. This Termination Charge shall be equal to the product of a) the number of months (including partial months) remaining in the initial 12 months of the initial Service Period at the time of Termination and b) a ratio in which the numerator is the total of OTCs paid to date and the denominator is 12.

Rural 4G LTE Internet Services

1. LTE INTERNET IS NOT CABLE INTERNET! Your speeds will fluctuate based on tower congestion and load balancing done by the carrier. SPARK Services has no control over this. LTE is more reliable than satellite; however, if you need a 24/7 connection, LTE internet may not be the solution for you.

2. There may be times your connection may drop out altogether. If this happens, SPARK Services will do everything we can to resolve the issue; HOWEVER, if the carrier is experiencing any kind of  outage or change of service, SPARK Services does not have any control over that.
