Globalstar has reserved the right to allocate satellite capacity among all users of the Globalstar System, including but not limited to NSI, and the Nupoint Network. The Nupoint Network is subject to transmission and reception limitations caused by: (1) service area limitations, including without limitation topographical conditions, whether man made or natural that obstruct the line of transmission between the user and the Globalstar System’s Satellites; (2) the condition of the Globalstar System equipment; (3) the condition of the NSI equipment (4) the condition of Customer’s NSI device; (5) Acts of God, including without limitation weather conditions, atmospheric conditions (i.e., space debris, solar flares, and other atmospheric anomalies or disturbances), magnetic interference, environmental and topographic conditions and other like conditions.
e) Nupoint Network Only: Customer understands and acknowledges that NSI does not provide any service other than the Nupoint Network service (subject to the terms of this Agreement). In the event that Customer elects to utilize any service other than the Nupoint Network, in connection with its use of the NSI device, Customer understands and acknowledges that NSI is not responsible for and neither warrants nor represents the quality or availability of such service and expressly disclaims any warranty regarding the interoperability of such service and the Nupoint Network.

CUSTOMER’S REMEDIES FOR ANY AND ALL WARRANTY CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO THE NSI DEVICE OR OTHER EQUIPMENT USED BY CUSTOMER IN CONNECTION WITH THE NUPOINT NETWORK SHALL BE THOSE PROVIDED BY THE RESPECTIVE MANUFACTURERS OF SUCH NSI DEVICES OR OTHER EQUIPMENT.
g) Privacy Limitations: Customer understands that because the Nupoint Network service involves radio technology, data communications transmitted over the Globalstar System may not be completely private. Also, Customer consents to NSI monitoring and recording Customer’s calls to NSI in order to ensure quality.
NSI also abides fully with the Canadian Privacy Act. NSI will provide customers billing information and or data to Canadian law enforcement agencies when NSI is lawfully requested to do so under the terms of the Privacy Act.
h) Abuse and Fraudulent Use: Neither the Nupoint Network nor any other means of communication may be used (1) to make foul or profane expressions, to impersonate another person with fraudulent or malicious intent, or to call another person so frequently or at such times of the day or in any manner so as to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass, or (2) for any purpose in violation of law, or (3) in any manner which interferes unreasonably with the use of the Nupoint Network by any other customer or with NSI’s reasonable ability to provide service to others.

i) Effect of Regulatory Authority Affecting this Agreement: Customer agrees that, to the extent the terms of this Agreement are changed to give effect to rules adopted by governmental entities, such change(s) does not constitute a repudiation or breach of this Agreement by NSI, and Customer agrees to act in conformity with such rules as they may affect his/her performance under this Agreement.
j) Telephone Numbers: A telephone number may not appear in more than one NSI device. Customer has no property right to any assigned telephone number, and none can be acquired by usage or otherwise. NSI reserves the right to assign, designate, or change any such telephone number when reasonably necessary in the conduct of its business. Any telephone number used by a Customer whose service is deactivated may be reassigned immediately upon the discontinuance of service.
k) Designation of Authorized User(s): A customer may notify NSI at any time of Customer’s choice to designate an authorized user(s) on the account. Customer gives NSI permission to (1) provide account information and services directly to such user(s) to the extent such information and services would otherwise be available to Customer, and (2) make changes to Customer’s account as may be requested by such user from time to time.

All other charges, features (even if one or more features were offered at the time of activation with no recurring monthly feature charge) and services including, but not limited to, coverage areas, and rounding practices, are subject to change or discontinuation upon reasonable notice. Customer understands and acknowledges that the rates being charged under this Agreement may include discounts in consideration of the number of Customer NSI devices in active use by the Customer. Customer agrees that NSI may discontinue such discounts should the number of NSI devices in active use by the Customer fall below the number required for the granting of such discounts. Additionally, NSI reserves the right to modify all other terms and conditions and any pricing plan at any time by written notice to Customer. Upon such notice, any changes shall automatically and without written amendment become part of this Agreement.
b) System Access Fee: NSI does not charge a system access fee.
c) Billing:
- Post paid chargeable time based plans for connections originated by a Customer’s NSI device begins when a connection is established to a Globalstar System facility and ends when the NSI device disconnects from a Globalstar System facility (i.e., a few seconds after NSI device sends an END command to the Globalstar System). In the Home Territory, Customer will not be charged for unanswered connections. Customers may be charged for busy or unanswered connections when roaming outside of the Home Territory.
- Post paid data-based plans, for connections originated by Customer’s NSI device, only charge for data passed. Any time used to connect or disconnect from a Globalstar System facility is not charged. At the end of each month NSI shall round up the data usage to the next 1K before billing the Customer. NSI reserves the right to charge for system data used to manage the NSI device data plan on behalf of the customer. In the Home Territory, Customer will not be charged for unanswered connections. Customers may be charged for busy or unanswered connection attempts when roaming outside of the Home Territory.
- Pre-paid data based plans, for connections originated by Customer’s NSI device, only charge for data passed.

Any time used to connect or disconnect from a Globalstar System facility is not charged. At the end of each month NSI shall round up the data usage to the next 1K before billing the Customer. NSI reserves the right to charge for system data used to manage the NSI device data plan on behalf of the customer. In the Home Territory, Customer will not be charged for unanswered connections. Customers may be charged for busy or unanswered connection attempts when roaming outside of the Home Territory. Once the included data, for a pre-paid plan, has been consumed the unit will revert to a monthly post-paid plan unless the Customer purchases another pre-paid plan.
- Post-paid bulk plans provide a mechanism for Customer’s to pool data for multiple units, whereby connections originated by Customer’s NSI device are only charge for data passed. Bulk plans include a per unit monthly fee for every activated unit the Customer owns. The Customer may purchase a block of data that is shared amongst the Customer’s units as required. The block of bulk data has a term after which the data expires and a new block must be purchased. Should the Customer buy a new block before the current data is used up the remaining data is combined with the new data purchased and the term changed according to the term of the new block or data. The Customer’s NSI device may consume the data allotment anyway they see fit within the pre-paid plan’s term period. Any time used to connect or disconnect from a Globalstar System facility is not charged. NSI reserves the right to utilize a portion of the data block to manage the NSI device. In the Home Territory, Customer will not be charged for unanswered connections. Customers may be charged for busy or unanswered connection attempts when roaming outside of the Home Territory.

- Bills for post paid charges payable by Customer will generally be produced monthly. Monthly billing periods do not necessarily correspond to calendar months, and they may vary in length from approximately 28 to approximately 32 days. NSI may change its billing procedures from time to time, and NSI may bill Customer more often than monthly if Customer files for (or is otherwise compelled to seek) bankruptcy protection or if NSI determines that there is a risk of Customer non-payment which may be indicated by, among other things, above-normal Customer usage of the Globalstar Service or non-payment of a prior bills when such bill was due and payable. Customer agrees to review his/her NSI invoice to verify accuracy within 90 days of receipt and notify NSI promptly of any discrepancies.

If a Customer activates on any prepaid contract plan, the customer will not be penalized for terminating their contract before the end of their contract, however they will not be reimbursed for the remaining balance on their contract. Upon non-payment of any sum due to NSI, or upon any violation of the terms, conditions, laws, rules or regulations governing the use of service, NSI may, by a notice in writing (which notice shall be deemed given 5 days after it is placed in Canada Post mail addressed to Customer’s last known address, or earlier if Customer files for, or is compelled to seek, bankruptcy protection) and without incurring any liability, either refuse, reduce or temporarily or permanently terminate service (including associated roaming, long distance and international direct dialing services) to Customer. In addition, the Nupoint Network service may be refused, reduced or temporarily or permanently terminated by NSI without notice and without incurring any liability if (1) NSI has not received and posted
Customer’s first payment by the due date on Customer’s first bill; or (2) NSI is informed that the Nupoint Network is being used by Customer in a manner which might adversely affect NSI’s service to others; or (3) NSI receives from a law enforcement agency a written finding, signed by a magistrate, that probable cause exists to believe (i) that Customer has used or will use the Nupoint Network in violation of or to violate the law, and (ii) that the character of Customer’s use of the Nupoint Network is such that immediate action is required to protect the public’s health, safety or welfare; or (4) the NSN/ESN/phone number combination utilized by Customer is determined by NSI to have been duplicated or otherwise to be associated or potentially associated with the fraudulent use of service; or (5) NSI is requested by a customer or by another service provider to deny service to a NSI device which was reported to be lost or stolen, or NSI is requested by another service provider to deny service to an NSI device determined to be associated or potentially associated with the fraudulent use of service or disconnected from service for non-payment of, or owing unpaid, service charges; or (6) NSI determines that Customer’s application for the Nupoint Network included information that was fraudulent, false or incomplete; or (7) Customer uses equipment either not authorized by or on record with NSI; or (8) occurrence of any other event of default. If Nupoint Network service is interrupted for non-payment NSI may, at its sole option, reactivate the Nupoint Network service upon payment by Customer in full of the past due amount, any penalties associated with the late payment, and a service restoration charge of $40 or NSI’s most recent restoration fee then in effect plus a deposit may be required based on the Customer’s payment history.
In addition to the rights contained herein, NSI reserves the right to pursue any other remedy at law or in equity. All rights and remedies granted to NSI are cumulative and not alternate, and NSI’s failure to exercise any right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of such right or remedy or of any future default by Customer.
