be with respect to the Service provided pursuant to that Other Contract.
-
CONFIDENTIALITY: Information provided by the Customer herein will not be
publicized by Roadpost without the Customer's prior permission unless it is: 1)
used in assessing credit performance or regarding collection of overdue
payment; 2) supplied to the commissioning entity or Supplier provided that the
information is to be used for the provision of Services and disclosure is made
on a confidential basis; 3) provided to emergency personnel or search and
rescue personnel for purposes of locating Customer or its employee in an
emergency, as determined by Roadpost in its sole discretion, or 4) provided to
a law enforcement or investigative agency in connection with suspected unlawful
activities or in the case that the Customer has provided false or misleading
information to Roadpost. By placing an order with Roadpost Customer agrees that
Roadpost has permission to provide order information to other companies to
fulfill Customer’s request for a product or service, such as a shipping
company, credit card processing company, or Supplier. (Without your consent,
these companies do not have the right to use the personally identifiable
information we provide to them beyond what is necessary to assist us.) For more
details on how your personal information may be used, please refer to our
privacy policy. Information provided by Roadpost hereunder pertaining
to (i) pricing for the Services or Equipment, (ii) features and functions of
the Services or Equipment and (iii) other proprietary information of Roadpost,
shall be deemed to be confidential information of Roadpost and may not be
disclosed by Customer without Roadpost’s prior written consent.
-
RATES & PAYMENT:
-
All charges will be in accordance with Roadpost's current rate schedule for the
selected rate plan at the time of use. Roadpost reserves the right to modify
and/or add rates and charges from time to time, including loyalty rewards,
without prior notice to the Customer.
-
The Customer is charged a pre-payment at the time its order is shipped which
includes the first month's subscription charge, any hardware charges and
applicable taxes. Roadpost bills monthly subscription fees in advance,
therefore the Customer's first invoice will reflect charges for two months of
service - the current month's subscription, plus the advance charge for the
next month's subscription, as well as any hardware charges and applicable
taxes. The pre-payment charged at the time of shipping will be deducted from
the first invoice, reflecting a balance due of one month's service.
-
All applicable governmental taxes and surcharges shall be added to the usage
and rental/purchase price, unless the Customer provides an executed resale
exemption certificate to establish exempt status as a reseller of Equipment
and/or Services which meets and satisfies the requirements of the levying tax
authority in question.
-
Roadpost will provide Customer with monthly invoices (which may be delivered to
Customer’s email address or posted online for Customer’s review) reflecting
monthly recurring charges billed in advance and usage charges billed in
arrears. Calls may be billed several months after they were made due to delays
in receiving call records from partner networks.
-
If Customer has provided a credit card for payment of its invoices, all credit
card payments will be processed on or after the 18th day of every month. If the
Customer has furnished a credit card number for the payment of charges under
this Agreement, then the Customer represents that he or she is an authorized
signer on the account of such credit card.
-
All amounts on invoices not otherwise automatically and successfully paid by
credit card, as provided herein, are due 30 days after the date of the invoice,
after which time the invoice shall be considered past due.
-
A late payment charge of 1.5% interest per month, or 18% per year, is
applicable against all overdue balances. Roadpost reserves the right to suspend
or terminate Customer’s service for non-payment of an invoice, including
unbilled usage.
-
The Customer shall inform Roadpost of any disputes or disagreements with
invoiced charges within 30 days of the date of invoice. Thereafter, the
Customer shall be deemed to have waived its right to dispute charges. In
addition, the Customer agrees to assume personal responsibility for all
payments due in consideration of this Agreement.
-
Should Customer have concerns about its service performance, the Customer must
formally contact Roadpost Technical Support or Customer Care regarding the
issue during their travels. In situations where the service is deemed not to
have worked during travels, Roadpost will be unable to provide compensation, if
Roadpost was not given the opportunity to troubleshoot and resolve issues
during the service period.
-
HIGH USAGE: Roadpost reserves the right to monitor services for patterns
of high usage. High usage is determined solely by Roadpost and its network
partners. Accounts generating high service usage will be flagged in the system
and Roadpost will contact the account holder to confirm that the usage is
legitimate. In the event that Roadpost is unable to reach the account holder,
Roadpost reserves the right to suspend the service until the usage can be
confirmed. In addition to suspending services, Roadpost reserves the right to
collect an interim payment for unbilled usage prior to invoicing. The interim
payment will be used as a deposit for the unbilled usage and will be applied to
the next invoice. The size of the interim payment will be determined by
Roadpost , and the account holder will be notified by Roadpost prior to the
charge being placed. If Roadpost is unable to bill the interim payment,
Roadpost will suspend the service until payment can be made.
-
LOSS/THEFT/DAMAGE/FRAUD: The Customer must notify Roadpost immediately
regarding lost, stolen, or damaged Equipment / SIM Card / IMEI if the Customer
suspects or should reasonably suspect that the Equipment / SIM Card / IMEI is
being used in an unlawful or fraudulent manner. The Customer is responsible for
all charges incurred up until the time of said notification. Roadpost requires
evidence of alleged loss or theft in the form of a police report. Upon said
notification, or if Roadpost suspects any wrongdoing, Roadpost will terminate
or suspend the Services. The Customer is prohibited from utilizing Roadpost's
services to compromise the security of or tamper with Roadpost's system of
resources or accounts on any of Roadpost's computers, routers, terminal
servers, modems, or any other equipment at Roadpost or any other site. Use or
distribution of tools designed for compromising security is prohibited. The
Customer agrees to provide reasonable co-operation in any investigation of
unlawful use of Services or Equipment. If Loss/Theft/Damage Protection is not
purchased, the Customer will be charged the full replacement value for any
missing or damaged equipment.
-
SIM CARDS: Information contained in any SIM card(s) (the "Card")
furnished to the Customer in a rental order is the property of Roadpost. The
Customer agrees not to interfere with the information contained in the Card and
shall promptly return the Card to Roadpost upon termination of this Agreement.
Roadpost permits the use of multiple Cards per phone in pooled corporate
environments.
-
CANCELLATION OF ORDERS: An administration fee may apply if an order is
cancelled; any shipping charges incurred will be charged to the customer. There
is no refund for prepaid cards. Roadpost is not responsible for recipient not
being available to receive delivery, incorrect addresses, phone numbers, or
insufficient delivery information placed on the initial order.
