Section 3. Subscriptions.
3.1 General. The Services are provided subject to the Service Availability set forth in Attachment A. Your sole remedy for outages is set

3.2 Minimum Service Term; Automatic Renewal. You are required to commit to a minimum service
term for each Subscription ("Minimum Service Term"). The Minimum Service Term begins on the date that the
first Terminal is activated under the Subscription ("Activation Date") and continues for a period of at
least one (1) year thereafter as set forth in a Subscription. For the purpose of
establishing the Activation Date, UTC will be used. Preferably, the creation of the Subscription should be
performed on the 1st day of the month. The Subscription automatically renews at the end of the Minimum Service
Term and continues until the Subscription is Upgraded or deactivated, until this Agreement is terminated, or until
the end of the Maximum Service Term (as defined below). The maximum service term for each Subscription shall be
three (3) years from the Activation Date (the “Maximum Service Term”), provided that the
Maximum Service Term shall automatically extend for an additional twelve (12) months (the “Renewal Term”), and
will continue to automatically renew for additional twelve (12) month terms, at the end of any Renewal Term,
unless either Party provides written notice of its desire to not renew (a “Non-Renewal Notice”)
at least ninety (90) days in advance of the end of the Maximum Service Term or Renewal Term. You
must inform Viasat at least thirty (30) days prior to the renewal of a Minimum Service Term if you are deactivating
the Subscription. If you deactivate your Subscription or terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of
a Minimum Service Term, you will owe the Early Termination Fee described below and/or any other fee
described in this Agreement applicable to the Service(s) you are receiving.
3.3 Adding Terminals into an Existing Subscription. You may add Terminals to an existing
Subscription. Activation of additional Terminals under a Subscription at a date after the Activation Date
does not change the Activation Date or alter the Minimum Service Term.
3.4 Subscription Usage Allowance. Each Subscription is assigned a usage allowance
("Subscription Usage Allowance"). Subscription Usage Allowance is either i) specified on the Plans and
Pricing Sheet for the Service Plan associated with a Subscription, or ii) calculated by pooling the usage
allowance of each Terminal’s Service Plan, as specified on the Plans and Pricing Sheet, for all Terminals
activated under the same Subscription.
3.5 Movement of a Terminal from one Subscription to Another Subscription. You are permitted to move a
Terminal from one of your active Subscriptions ("Transferring Subscription") to another of your
active
Subscriptions; however, regardless of moving the Terminal from the Transferring Subscription, the
Subscription Usage Allowance and pricing of the Transferring Subscription will remain unchanged through the
end of the Minimum Service Term.
3.6 Deactivation of a Terminal from an Active Subscription. You are permitted to deactivate a
Terminal from an active Subscription; however, regardless of deactivation, the Subscription Usage Allowance
and pricing will remain unchanged through the end of the Minimum Service Term.
3.7 Subscription Pricing Commitment. Once a Subscription has been created there will be no changes
to the pricing of that Subscription during the Minimum Service Term provided that at least one (1) Terminal
is activated under that Subscription. In the event that published service pricing changes occur during the
Minimum Service Term, said changes will go into effect at the time of renewal in accordance with
Section 7.4 Changes to Service Plans, Optional Services, and Rates.
Section 4. Term.
The Term of this Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues indefinitely unless terminated as provided
under Section 10 of this Agreement.
Section 5. Viasat Policies and Permitted Uses and Restrictions.
5.1 Network Management Practices. Viasat's Mobile Satellite Services is a shared network; at any
given time, Subscribers within a given geographic area must share available network capacity. Viasat aims to
provide each Subscriber with a fair share of that capacity, while providing all Subscribers with a
high-quality experience. To achieve these goals, Viasat is developing network management practices designed
to prevent any Subscriber from placing a disproportionate demand on network resources. Certain of these
practices will be used only when the Service is congested; others will be used more generally. Even with
these network management practices, traffic levels depend on other users and your network capacity may be
impacted based on other users' performance.
5.2 Support. Either Viasat and/or Viasat's designee(s) shall operate an online help center for the
benefit of its Service Partners in accordance with information and instructions set forth on the S&P
Portal ("Help Center"). Each Service Partner shall operate an online help center for the benefit of
its Subscribers, shall provide its Subscribers and Viasat with accurate contact information for its
customer support, and shall direct its Subscribers to exclusively use such customer support contact information
for support. In addition to (and without limitation of) the foregoing, each Service Partner shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to prevent its Subscribers from attempting to contact Viasat directly. Each
Service Partner agrees that Viasat (or its designee) may (but shall not be obligated to) direct all calls
and other inquiries received by Viasat from the Service Partner's Subscribers to the Service Partner's customer
support telephone number and/or website. If the Help Center is receiving an unreasonable number of calls or
contacts from the Service Partner's Subscribers, Viasat may charge a service fee in accordance with the Plans
and Pricing Sheet. Each Service Partner acknowledges and agrees that Viasat shall have no obligation to accept
or otherwise handle any calls or other inquiries from the Service Partner's Subscribers and shall have no
liability to a Service Partner or its Subscribers whatsoever with respect to any such calls or other inquiries.
5.3 S&P Portal. Viasat may, in its sole discretion, make the S&P Portal (or one or more
portions or pages thereof designated by Viasat from time to time in its sole discretion) available for use
by Subscribers and Service Partners. The S&P Portal and any other online tools provided by or on behalf
of Viasat in connection with this Agreement are provided on an "as is" basis with no guarantee or warranty
whatsoever, whether express or implied. Viasat may discontinue, add to or revise any or all aspects of the
S&P Portal in its sole discretion and without notice, including, without limitation, access to support
services, publications and any other products or services ancillary to the S&P Portal and/or Service. You
acknowledge and agree that by accessing and using the S&P Portal, you are agreeing to the separate Terms of
Use provided through the S&P Portal as they exist on the date of your access. If you do not agree to the
Terms of Use, you may not and should not use the S&P Portal.
5.4 Privacy. Please view our Privacy Policy, which can be found at
https://my.mss.viasat.com/legal/privacy-policy.
The Privacy Policy is drafted in compliance with domestic and international laws, rules and regulations and
explains Viasat's practices relating to the collection and use of your information through or in connection
with the Services. Viasat's use of your information is governed at all times by our Privacy Policy. You
understand that through your use of the Services you consent to the collection and use of this information
(as set forth in the Privacy Policy). If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not
use the Services.
5.5 Accuracy of Information. Whenever you provide us information regarding your Account, you agree
to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information and (b) maintain and promptly update such
information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is, or we
have reasonable grounds to suspect that the information is, untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete,
Viasat will make reasonable efforts to notify you and provide thirty (30) days’ notice to cure but reserves the right
to suspend or terminate your access to the Services and refuse any and all current or future use of the
Services (or any portion thereof) if the inaccuracy is material or if you fail to correct the inaccuracy or
submit inaccurate information again after the cure period has elapsed.
5.6 Unauthorized Use of Services or Equipment. You are considered the registered recipient of the
Service, and you will be liable for any charges or fees incurred by the use of the Service under your
Account by anyone else up to the time that we receive your notice of termination, unless otherwise provided
by applicable law. You are responsible for any misuse of the Services, or your Equipment, even if the misuse
was committed by an employee, co-worker, agent, consultant, contractor or other individual with access to your
Subscription Services Account or Subscriber and Partner Portal Account. If your Equipment is stolen or otherwise
removed from your premises without your authorization, you must notify the Service Partner from whom you purchased
the Equipment or Services or the Help Center immediately, or else you will be liable for payment for unauthorized use of
the Services or Equipment.
5.7 Security. You agree to take reasonable measures to protect the security of any devices and/or
applications you use to access the Services or use to connect to the internet through the Services,
including, without limitation, maintaining at your cost an up-to-date version of anti-virus and/or firewall
software to protect your devices from malicious code, programs or other internal components (such as a
computer virus, computer worm, computer time bomb or similar component). You expressly agree that if your
computer or an internet-connected device becomes infected and causes any of the prohibited activities listed
in the Acceptable Use Policy, Viasat may immediately suspend your access to the Services until such time as
your computer or internet-connected device is sufficiently protected to prevent further prohibited
activities. Although Viasat has no obligation to monitor the Services or its network, Viasat and its
authorized suppliers reserve the right to monitor bandwidth, usage, transmissions, and content from time to
time in order to operate the Services, identify violations of this Agreement, or protect the Viasat network
and other users of the Services. You will be fully liable for all monthly fees and other charges under this
Agreement during any period of suspension. In all cases, you are solely responsible for the security of any
device you choose to access the Services, including, without limitation, the security of any data stored or
shared on such device(s).
5.8 Restrictions.
i. Viasat makes no representation that all products, services and/or material described or
offered through the Services are appropriate or available for your use. Those who choose to utilize the
Services do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws. Viasat
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend, terminate, or otherwise deny access to the Services
if Viasat reasonably believes a Subscriber's use of the Services may result in violation of applicable laws in
which the Services may be available.
ii. Your use of the Services is subject to United States, European Union, or other sanctions and
export laws and regulations, and any applicable local laws or regulations. You represent that you are
not a prohibited end user under applicable laws, regulations, and lists including, but not limited to,
the U.S. Treasury Department list of Specially Designated Nationals or Blocked Persons and the European
Union Consolidated List of Persons, Groups and Entities subject to EU Financial Sanctions and you will not use this service in any manner that would violate applicable law.
5.9 Equipment. The terms of sale applicable to the Equipment are governed by your purchase agreement
or other documents evidencing such sale. In addition, the Equipment contains software and/or other
intellectual property which is subject to a license agreement(s). Any breach of such license agreement(s)
constitutes a breach of this Agreement.
5.10 Non-Exclusivity. Viasat reserves the right to sell Services without restriction and to appoint additional Service Partners, resellers, distributors, sales representatives, and consultants with a right to sell or offer for sale any or all of the Services.
5.11 Continued Service. In the event the Service Partner from whom you purchased the Services is no longer able to provide Services to you, Viasat or its MSS Partners will provide you with the option to (a) discontinue Service, or (b) continue receiving the Service under the then current terms, conditions, policies and rates set forth on the S&P Portal, or any successor website.
Section 6. Liability for Service Partner’s Subscribers.
Each Service Partner acknowledges and agrees that: (a) purchases made by its Subscribers on or through the
S&P Portal shall for all purposes be considered transactions between the Service Partner and its Subscribers
subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement(s) entered into between the Service Partner and its
Subscribers subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement(s) entered into between the Service Partner
and its Subscribers, (b) each Service Partner shall be responsible for all transactions, if any, effected by its
Subscribers on or through the S&P Portal, and (c) each Service Partner shall at all times take reasonable steps
to ensure that its Subscribers do not violate Viasat’s Acceptable Use Policy (attached hereto as Attachment B).
In addition to (and without limitation of) the foregoing, each Service Partner shall cooperate and implement
such response and reporting procedures as may be requested by Viasat from time to time in connection with
violations by its Subscribers of Viasat’s Acceptable Use Policy. Accordingly, each Service Partner shall
indemnify, defend, and hold Viasat, its affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, employees, partners,
shareholders, and agents, harmless from and against any and all Losses that arise out of, or are connected to,
any and all transactions described in this Section.
Section 7. Payment and Pricing.
7.1 Precedence of Other Service Partner Agreements.
Payments and pricing for Subscriptions will be subject to additional terms relating to pricing, billing, and
payment which are an integral part of your Service Partner Agreement, if any.
SUBSCRIBERS WILL BE BILLED BY THE SERVICE PARTNERS FROM WHOM THEY PURCHASED SERVICES.
7.2 Payments
i. General. You agree that we will bill your monthly Services fee (or the full amount of your Services
in the event you desire a pre-paid Service Plan) and one time charges in advance and will bill other fees
in arrears such as, for example, fees to buy more data or Overages. We will send your billing
statements to the email address or mailing address designated in your Account to receive invoices, and
you agree that this is sufficient notice for all purposes as to charges incurred and paid or to be paid
to us. You understand and agree that you will not receive a paper statement in the mail. All payments
made under this Agreement will be in US Dollars.
ii. Commencement and Due Date of Fees. You acknowledge that Subscription payments are due
at the first of each month and shall incur a late fee if not paid by the end of each month that you are a
Subscriber, beginning on the Activation Date. For clarification, monthly billing shall include the base
Subscription for the current month for all active units, any overage for said units from the previous month,
proration for activation or deactivation within the previous month, and any credits or fees applied to your account.
The billing for a Subscription, including Optional Services, if any, commences on the Activation Date. If
an additional Terminal is activated and pooled in an active Subscription after the first day of any billing
period, the Subscription Usage Allowance and Subscription price are recalculated as of the date of the new
Terminal activation, Subscription charges are prorated only for the billing period in which the Terminal
is activated based on the date of the new Terminal activation, and these adjusted Subscription charges
will appear on your next billing statement. In addition, we may bill you for some aspects of the Services
individually after they have been provided to you; these include charges to buy more data for your Services.
iii. Usage Allowance and Overages. Unused usage allowance, if any, will expire at the end of the
month and will not be carried forward to the next month. Usage in excess of the usage allowance ("Overage")
will be billed over and above the monthly Subscription fee at the price specified in the Plans and
Pricing Sheet. Overage charges are pro-rated to increments of a Byte and calculated monthly.
iv. Upgrades. Upgrade refers to a change to a Subscription from a lower-hierarchy Service Plan to
a higher-hierarchy Service Plan. The Upgrade will be performed on the 1st of the month following the
receipt of the request. There is no pro-ration of monthly Subscription fees and usage allowance (if
any). There is no administrative charge for Upgrade requests. If you Upgrade by moving some or all of
the devices from a current Subscription to a new Subscription, the new Subscription will, at Subscriber’s
option, either retain the Activation Date and remainder of the Minimum Service Term of the current
Subscription or acquire the Activation Date and Minimum Service Term of the new Subscription. If you
Upgrade by moving some or all of the devices from a current lower-hierarchy Subscription to a current
higher-hierarchy Subscription, each of the current Subscriptions will retain its Minimum Service Term. You
may not suspend or downgrade your Subscription.
v. Billing and Charges. You agree to pay, in accordance with the provisions of the Service
Plan(s) and any Optional Services to which you subscribed, any registration, activation or monthly fees
(including, without limitation, any applicable discounts), technical support, value added services, service
charges, minimum charges and other amounts charged to or incurred by you, or by users under your Account, at
the Rates in effect at the start of the billing period in which those amounts are charged or incurred. You
agree to pay all applicable foreign, national, state and local taxes, fees and surcharges related to your
use of the Services, provision of services, software or hardware or the use of the Services by users under
your Account. Viasat reserves the right to correct and charge under-billed or unbilled amounts for a period
of ninety (90) days after (i) any incorrect statement was issued or (ii) a statement should have been
issued. Payment of the outstanding balance is due in full each month.
vi. Duration of Fees. Your Account will continue until you cancel your Account in accordance
with the method or methods specified by us (unless otherwise terminated in accordance with this
Agreement). Viasat reserves the right to terminate Service for non-receipt of payment upon thirty (30) days
written notice not-withstanding any previous practice extending a payment grace period. As stated
above, you may cancel your Account at any time, subject to payment of the Early Termination Fee and/or
any other applicable fee.
vii. Overdue Amounts. All overdue amounts under this Agreement shall be subject to a late
payment charge of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month, or the legal maximum interest rate,
whichever is less, plus reasonable collection charges including attorneys' fees. You waive and forgo any
right which you may have to set off any payment obligation.
viii. Service Credits. All credits, if any, shall be determined in accordance with Attachment A
and shall be processed in as expeditious a manner as reasonably possible.
ix. Payment Authorization. All amounts payable to Viasat by you hereunder or in connection with
this Agreement may be collected either by Viasat directly or by a third-party payment processor, as
determined in Viasat's sole discretion.
x. Payment Methods. Payments shall be made in accordance with the payment instructions found at
the S&P Portal Help Center under the heading “How do I make my invoice payments to Viasat?”. The
payment instructions are available to you upon establishment of your Subscription Services Account(s)
and your S&P Portal Account(s) which you may request by calling +1-866-862-9624 or +1-760-513-6900 or
emailing billing@mss.viasat.com.
xi. EFT Payment and/or Card Payment Authorization. If you choose to pay all or any portion of your
invoice using electronic funds transfer out of your bank account (“EFT Payment”) or a credit card or debit
card (“Card Payment”), you authorize us to initiate an EFT payment or charge your credit card or debit card.
Each time you provide Viasat with an EFT Payment, you consent to Viasat verifying with a consumer reporting
agency that the bank account you have provided is valid, available and acceptable to Viasat for electronic
payments on your billing account. You must provide current, complete, and accurate information for your
billing account, and promptly update any changes (such as a change in billing address, credit card number,
credit card expiration date, bank account number) and contact email address. If you fail to provide us with
any of the foregoing information, you agree that Viasat may continue charging you for any Services provided
under your Account. In addition to administrative fees that you may owe, if we are unable to process your
EFT Payment or Card Payment at any time and we do not receive electronic payment from you by the due date,
your Account may be suspended upon thirty (30) days written notice to you and you will remain responsible for all amounts payable by you
to us. If we do not receive your payment before your next statement is issued, your Account may be terminated
and you may owe us the Early Termination Fee and/or any other applicable fee. You agree that Viasat will not
be responsible for any expenses that you may incur resulting from overdrawing your bank account or
exceeding your credit limit as a result of any charge made under this Agreement.
xii. Billing Errors, Partial Payments and Collections. If you think a charge is incorrect or you
need more information on any charges applied to your Account, you should contact us by calling Viasat at
+1-866-862-9624 or +1-760-513-6900 or emailing
billing@mss.viasat.com. You must contact us within 60
days of receiving the statement on which the error or problem appeared. We will make a statement
available to you for each billing cycle showing payments, credits, purchases and other charges. We will
not pay you interest on any overcharged amounts later refunded or credited to you. We may, but are not
required to, accept partial payments from you. If partial payments are made, they will be applied to
amounts owed by you starting with the oldest outstanding amount. If you send us checks or money orders
marked "payment in full" or otherwise labeled with a similar restrictive endorsement, we may, but are
not required to, accept them, without waiving any of our rights to collect all amounts owed by you under
this Agreement. If we choose to use a collection agency or attorney to collect money that you owe us or
to assert any other right that we may have against you, you agree to pay the reasonable costs of

commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with the MSS Partner to provide post-termination Services to

open Subscription.

11.1 Indemnification by Subscriber. You agree to indemnify,
defend and hold us harmless against all claims, liability, damages, costs and expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to any and all uses of the Services in violation of this Agreement. This
includes, without limitation, responsibility for all consequences of your breach or violation of any
representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations under this Agreement (or a violation
by any user of your Account) or placement on or over, or retrieval from or through, the Service of any
software, file, information, communication or other content and all costs incurred by us in enforcing this
Agreement against you. Further, you shall indemnify, defend and hold Viasat, its affiliated entities,

employee, agent, subcontractor or other representative of yours; (ii) any contracts, debts or obligations
of yours; and (iii) any claim brought by your Subscribers, if any.

any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action or proceeding involving a claim in respect of
which the indemnified Party ("Indemnified Party") may seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement
from the other Party ("Indemnifying Party"), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying
Party of such claim in writing. No failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve it of its
obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that it can demonstrate actual damages attributable to
such failure. The Indemnifying Party may, at its option, undertake the defense of any such claim and permit
the Indemnified Party to participate therein at its own expense. The settlement of any such claim by the
Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party's prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder with respect to the
claim so settled.
Section 12. Limitation of Damages.
12.1 Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR
ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE PROVISION OR USE OF THE

notice may be made by any commercially reasonable means, including, without limitation, e-mail or publication via the
S&P Portal. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form by Viasat
shall be admissible in judicial, arbitration, or administrative proceedings relating to or based upon this
Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records
originally generated and maintained in printed form. You must promptly notify us of any change in your
credit card information, e-mail or postal address by calling Viasat at +1-866-862-9624 or +1-760-513-6900 or
emailing billing@mss.viasat.com. For all other notices required to

(i) when actually delivered if delivered in person; (ii) one day after being deposited with a recognized

States mail, postage prepaid; or (iv) by Viasat upon e-mail transmission, with receipt verified, and/or
notice via the S&P Portal. Either Party may change its address or email address for notice purposes by
notifying the other Party in accordance with this Section 14.7. You shall provide Viasat with any change in
your address prior to the effective date of any such change.
14.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of California, USA. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a Subscriber has entered into a
separate Service Partner Agreement prior to the Effective Date, the Governing Law specified in the Service
Partner Agreement will take precedence as it relates to a dispute between the same parties to such Service
Partner Agreement.
14.9 Dispute Resolution. To expedite resolution of issues and control the cost of disputes, you and
Viasat agree that any legal or equitable claim relating to this Agreement, any addendum, or your Service
(referred to as a "Claim") will be resolved as follows: We will first try to resolve any Claim informally.
Accordingly, neither party may start a formal proceeding until at least 60 days after one of the parties
notifies the other of a Claim in writing ("Notice"). You will send your Notice to the address in Section
14.7 of this Agreement to the attention of the Viasat Legal Department and we will send our Notice to your
email address or billing address. If you and Viasat are unable to resolve the Claim within 60 days after
Notice is received, then Viasat and you agree to arbitrate any and all Claims between the parties. This
agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:
Any Claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and Viasat, whether
based in contract, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, tort, or any other legal theory;
Any Claims that arose before this Agreement or any prior agreement between you and Viasat;
Any Claims that are currently the subject of a purported class action suit in which you are not a member
of a certified class; and/or
Any Claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.
This Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local
agencies, including, for example, the Federal Communications Commission. If the law allows, these
agencies may seek relief against Viasat on your behalf. You agree that by entering into this Agreement,
you and Viasat each waive the right to participate in a class action and/or a trial by jury. This
Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs
the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This Dispute Resolution provision shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
For disputes between you and Viasat, as applicable, arbitration hearings will take place in the same
location and under the same rules specified in a Service Partner Agreement by and between you and Viasat,
respectively, entered into before the Effective Date. If there is no Service Partner Agreement that takes
precedence between you and Viasat, arbitration hearing locations and rules will be determined based on the
location of your principal place of business. If your principal place of business is located on the
continents of Asia or Australia, arbitration hearings will be be administered by the Singapore
International Arbitration Center (SIAC) under its rules in Singapore. If your principal place of business
is located on the continents of Europe or Africa, arbitration hearings will be administered by the
International Center for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) under its rules in London, England. All other
arbitrations shall take place at a location in San Diego, California, and shall be governed by the rules
of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (collectively with the aforementioned rules of the SIAC
and ICDR, the “Rules”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules
are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the address on the
first page of this Agreement to the attention of the Viasat Legal Department.
The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues shall
be for the arbitrator to decide, except issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this Dispute
Resolution provision which shall solely be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. During the
arbitration, neither party shall disclose to the arbitrator the amount of any settlement
offer made by either party, until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or
Viasat is entitled. If your claim is for $5,000 or less, you and Viasat agree that you may choose
whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis (a) of documents submitted to the
arbitrator, (b) through telephonic hearings, or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the
applicable Rules. If your claim is in excess of $5,000, the right to a hearing shall be determined by
the applicable Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator
shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficiently explaining the essential findings and conclusions
on which the award is based. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Claim or the
relief sought in your Claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the
standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees related
to the arbitration shall be governed by the applicable Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse
Viasat for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the
applicable Rules. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the
individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that
party's individual Claim. YOU AND VIASAT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR
OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR

Attachment A: Viasat MSS System Availability
Maintenance Outage Time Requirements
Viasat and its MSS Partners will endeavor to plan and perform maintenance on the System in a manner that
reasonably minimizes the Subscribers’ outage. System outages due to planned maintenance will be primarily
scheduled between midnight and 5:00 AM Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) and at such other times as may be
necessary from time to time in Viasat’s discretion. As a goal but not a requirement, Viasat and its
MSS Partners will (a) take into account the time zones in which affected beams are located and attempt to
limit the Subscribers’ outage time to within the time period midnight to 5:00 AM local time; (b) use the
first hour of the maintenance periods to prepare for any Service down-time; and (c) avoid taking the Service
down in any beams in the UTC zone before midnight UTC.
Viasat and its MSS Partners will attempt to reasonably limit maintenance periods; however, if emergency
maintenance is required to restore outages, prevent an impending outage or seriously degraded performance,
or otherwise prevent, reduce or mitigate harm to the Services, network or operations, as determined in
Viasat’s and its MSS Partners’ sole discretion, Viasat may perform emergency procedures as needed to restore
the Services.
Outage Credit
Subscribers shall be entitled to a credit for any outages when the System fails to meet the System Availability
in a given calendar month and such failure is solely and directly attributable to Viasat or its MSS Partners.
Such credit shall equal the pro rata fees due for that period of time during which an outage of the System has
occurred, as calculated under the System Availability and, in any case, shall never exceed, in the aggregate of
all such outages in a given month, the fees paid by Subscriber for the affected Services.
If a failure has occurred, the outage shall be measured as commencing from the moment such failure occurs,
provided that Viasat has received notice from the Service Partner or Subscriber, as
applicable, to Viasat or its MSS Partners, regarding such outage. Any such outage shall be deemed to have
ended upon the earlier to occur of (x) the Subscriber’s resumption of use of the System, or (y) notice from
Viasat or its MSS Partners to the Service Partner or Subscriber, as applicable, that the System meeting the
applicable performance specifications is available. Any such credit shall be applied as a credit on the invoice
to the Subscriber for the next month following the determination of that credit; provided that if there is not
another invoice, then such credit will be refunded within a reasonable period of time from settlement of the
respective account. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, THIS CREDIT SHALL BE YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR
ANY OUTAGE, DISRUPTION OR DEGRADATION IN THE SYSTEM.

Push-to-Talk Service Viasat and other third parties may offer a Push-to-Talk service consisting of
hardware and software that is integrated into devices that operate on Viasat's Mobile Satellite Service
("Push-to-Talk Service"). Subscribers to the Push-to-Talk Service ("Users") may hold near-instant voice
communications with individuals or in groups. Users must comply with all applicable privacy, consumer data and
protection laws, marketing and data best practices, and all laws that apply to collecting, accessing, storing,
processing, using, disclosing and securing user data, including any obligations to notify and obtain consents of
users regarding any of your access to users' personal information. The Push-to-Talk Service must not be used to
conduct unauthorized surveillance.
Copyright Infringement Viasat is committed to complying with copyright and related laws, and
requires all customers and users of the Service to comply with these laws. Owners of copyrighted works may take
advantage of certain provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") to report alleged
infringements. In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, it is Viasat's policy to reserve the right
to terminate the Service(s) of any user who infringes upon the intellectual property rights of another,
including repeat infringers, or who Viasat believes, in its sole discretion, is infringing upon such rights.
Copyright owners may report alleged infringements of their works that are accessed through the Service by
sending Viasat's authorized agent a notification of claimed infringement that satisfies the requirements of the
DMCA. Upon Viasat's receipt of a satisfactory notice of claimed infringement, Viasat shall notify the user
associated with the alleged infringement. If the affected customer or user believes in good faith that the
allegedly infringing works have been removed or blocked by mistake or misidentification, then that person may
send a counter-notification to Viasat. Upon Viasat's receipt of a counter-notification that satisfies the
requirements of DMCA, Viasat will provide a copy of the counter-notification to the person who sent the original
notification of claimed infringement and will follow the DMCA's procedures with respect to a
counter-notification. In all events, Viasat will not be a party to any dispute or lawsuit regarding alleged
copyright infringement.
Copyright owners may send Viasat a notification of claimed infringement to report any alleged infringement of
their works to:
Legal Department
Viasat, Inc.
6155 El Camino Real
Carlsbad, CA 92009 U.S.A.
Fax: (760) 929-3926
E-mail:Communications.Legal@Viasat.com
Copyright owners may submit a notification of claimed infringement to Viasat in a format that satisfies the
requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act. Under the DMCA, anyone who knowingly makes
misrepresentations regarding alleged copyright infringement may be liable to Viasat, the alleged infringer, and
the affected copyright owner for any damages incurred in connection with the removal, blocking, or replacement
of allegedly infringing material.
If a notification of claimed infringement has been filed against you, you may file a counter-notification with
Viasat's designated agent using the contact information shown above. Counter-notifications must satisfy the
requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act.
Enforcement and Notice Although Viasat has no obligation to monitor the Services and/or its network,
Viasat and its authorized suppliers reserve the right at any time to monitor bandwidth, usage, transmissions,
and content from time to time in order to operate the Services, to comply with laws, regulations or governmental
or legal process, orders or requests, to identify violations of this Policy or violations of your customer or
subscriber agreement, or to protect the network, the Services, Viasat and its users.
If the Services are used in a way that Viasat, in its sole discretion, believes violate this Policy or your
customer or subscriber agreement, Viasat may take any responsive actions it deems appropriate, including a
warning, suspension or termination of the Services; or refusing to transmit or post, or removing or blocking,
any information or materials, in whole or in part. Neither Viasat nor its affiliates, subsidiaries, suppliers,
officers, directors, employees or agents will have any liability for any of these responsive actions. These
actions are not Viasat's exclusive remedies and Viasat may take any other legal or technical action it deems
appropriate.
When feasible, Viasat may provide you with a notice of a Policy violation via e-mail or otherwise allowing you
to promptly correct such violation. Viasat reserves the right, however, to act immediately and without notice to
suspend or terminate affected Services in response to a court order or government notice that certain conduct
must be stopped or when Viasat reasonably determines, that the conduct may: (1) expose Viasat to sanctions,
prosecution, civil action or any other liability, (2) cause harm to or interfere with the integrity or normal
operations of Viasat's network or networks with which Viasat is interconnected, (3) interfere with another
Viasat user's use of the Services or a public or private network (4) violate any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or (5) otherwise present an imminent risk of harm to Viasat or its users.

a waiver of any right to do so at any time. You agree that if any portion of this Policy is held invalid or
unenforceable, that portion will be construed consistent with applicable law as nearly as possible, and the
remaining portions will remain in full force and effect.
