account or using the Service or equipment, Subscriber agrees to be bound
by this Agreement and to use the Service in compliance with SBWs
Acceptable Use Policy which is available by going to www.SpeedBeam.com.
2.
TERM. The term of this Agreement is for an initial term of twelve
(12) months. This Agreement will automatically renew on a month-to-month
basis after the end of the initial term unless Subscriber notifies SBW
of intent to cancel service in writing, no less than thirty (30) days in
advance of the expiration of the current term. SBW reserves the right to
change the price of the Service at any time with 30 days notice. Prices
for other SBW services may change at any time upon 30 days notice and will

THE SERVICE. The Service can vary depending on location, Internet
traffic, CPU speed, operating system configuration and other factors beyond
the control of SBW. SBW provides the service on a "best effort" basis
and does not guarantee estimated upload and download speeds. In order to
receive SBW Service Subscriber must be located near an SBW transmitter.
Trees, buildings, etc. may interfere with SBW signals and affect a home
or business, but not other nearby locations.
4.
CANCELLATION. If Subscriber is dissatisfied with the Service
or any associated terms, conditions, rules, policies, guidelines, or practices,
Subscribers sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Service, cancel
their account, and pay any cancellation fees that apply. Termination of
the Service does not release Subscriber from liability for charges due
under this Agreement. If Subscriber chooses to terminate this Agreement
before the expiration of the then current term, Subscriber will be liable
for an early termination fee of $300.00. This represents a reasonable amount
to compensate SBW for installation and SBW provided equipment. If SBW provides
equipment for use in connection with our Service, all equipment must be
returned in good condition or damage/loss charges may apply. Cancellation
of the Service after the order date and before installation of equipment
will not result in a charge, provided that all SBW owned equipment is returned
within thirty (30) days of cancellation.
Cancellation request must be mailed to SBW at Post Office Box 3765, Midway,
KY 40347. Cancellation will be effective at the end of the billing period

services will be terminated and any Subscriber data stored on SBW servers
will be deleted. SBW may terminate this Agreement, the password, the account,
or use of Services for any reason, including but not limited to: violation
of this Agreement; failure to pay service charges when due; any illegal
activity involving the Service. Termination notice will be sent by email
and by U.S. Mail to the address provided at Service initiation. All notices
to Subscriber shall be deemed effective on the first (1st) day following
the date of the email or on fourth (4th) day following the date of the
