Contract Terms

Western Broadband requires a 12 month contract for service. The contract terms do not lock customers to a particular plan, just that they continue the Wireless service for a year.

There is an Early Contract Termination fee of $200, or the remainder of the contract, whichever is less, upon breaking the contract.

The specifics of the contract terms are listed below

All equipment installed (radio, wires, mounting hardware and antenna) is and will remain property of WB.

WB requires one year of service agreement from the day the service is delivered.

This agreement shall automatically renew for successive 1 month terms unless terminated by either party, in writing, at least 30 days prior to the then current date for termination. WB reserves the right to change its rates for any renewal term by notifying CUSTOMER at least 30 days in advance of the effective date of such a rate change.

WB is not responsible or liable for any of the following: Any obstruction(s) that might be erected or grow between CUSTOMER antenna and WB causing degradation or loss of service; debris or ice on an antenna; re-aiming the antenna later than 14 days after installation; installing hardware and/or software in a different computer or room after initial installation; re-configuration of network settings due to, but not limited to: tampering, re-installation of operating system, accidental removal, moving the hardware to another computer.

Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless, the Company, its agents and employees from and against any loss, cost, claim, liability, damage, or expense relating to or arising from installation of software on customers machine or installation of other equipment necessary for service including antenna(e) and cabling, without limitation, whether arising from negligence or not.

I understand that wireless Internet connectivity requires direct radio line of sight, and that any obstruction between WB and my antenna will probably block my signal.

I understand that because tree leaves hold water, they absorb the microwave signal, and that will degrade or disrupt my connectivity. By getting equipment installed during a time of year when there are little or no leaves in the trees, I run the risk of losing connectivity when the leaves come back on the trees. I may require extra hardware and setup at that time. WB shall not be held liable for any charges, nor will I be entitled to any type of refund.

If not purchased and paid in full, the wireless radio, adapter card, antenna, and cable are the property of WB, and will be returned to WB, in original working condition, within 5 days of service termination or CUSTOMER will allow WB employees to remove the hardware from CUSTOMER’S premises. If equipment is located in premises rented by CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER hereby authorizes the owner to allow entry of WB’s employee in CUSTOMER’S absence. WB shall not be liable for any holes which were made at the time of installation and those holes which may remain after the removal of equipment.

Upon termination of the service, if the equipment is not returned to WB in original working condition, CUSTOMER agrees to pay WB $650 for the equipment cost.

Loss, Damage, and/or Theft of the Equipment is the responsibility of the CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER agrees to pay WB the value of the equipment.

The first month of service will be prorated from the Activation Date, and then billed in advance each month. Payment will be due on the first of each for the following month. If payment is not received by the 9th of the month, a late fee of $10 will be assessed to your account and service will be interrupted until your account is brought current. Interruption of service due to nonpayment will not relieve you of the monthly obligation due under this contract.

If CUSTOMER terminates this Agreement anytime after implementation, but before expiration, CUSTOMER will pay the lesser of either 1), a flat fee of $200 or 2), a lump sum equal to the charges of the remainder of the then current term of the Agreement in no case greater than 1 year. If CUSTOMER is terminated by WB for violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, CUSTOMER shall pay, immediately, a lump sum equal to the charges for the remainder of the then current term of the Agreement.

CUSTOMER hereby acknowledge that the Internet is not owned, operated, managed by, or in any way affiliated by WB or any of its affiliates, and that it is a separate network of computers independent of WB.
