3.2.5 Regulatory Changes and Fees

3.4 Service Start Date 

46 Labs will use commercially reasonable efforts to activate the Services by the agreed-upon date specified in the applicable Service Order (SO). However, due to reliance on third parties including the Customer to complete prerequisite tasks and provide necessary information, 46 Labs cannot guarantee activation by a specific date. 

Customer obligations and considerations include: 

Service Transition – Customer is responsible for canceling any communication services that the 46 Labs Services will replace and for paying any associated fees. Customers are strongly advised not to cancel existing services until receiving written confirmation that porting has been successfully completed. 

Expedited Installation – Requests for expedited installation may accelerate order processing, but do not guarantee a specific installation date. Payments for expedited services are non-refundable, even if the requested installation date is not met. 

Rescheduling – If Customer requests a change to a scheduled service date within six (6) business days of the originally scheduled date, a rescheduling fee will apply. 

3.5 Service Availability 

Service availability is defined separately in the Service Level Agreement (SLA), meaning details like uptime commitments, service guarantees, and remedies are outlined there, not in this section. 

4  Billing and Payment Arrangements 

4.1  Form of Invoice  

46 Labs shall deliver invoices for Services by either email, web portal or surface mail. Any invoice delivered by any of these methods shall constitute a valid bill for Services. 

4.2  Payment, Due Date 

4.2.1 Payment Obligation. Services Generally. Customer shall pay for all Services ordered from 46 Labs, pursuant to the terms and rates set forth in the SO. Customer’s obligation to pay for Services and the associated MRC and NRC fees shall begin on the Start of Service Date. Customer shall timely pay the full amount invoiced less any Billing Dispute, even if Customer expects a portion of the invoiced amount to be paid or reimbursed by a future credit. Payments shall be due thirty days (net 30) from the date of the invoice. Undisputed amounts which are not paid in full when due will be past due and subject to an additional fee equal to the lesser of one-and-one-half percent (1.5%) per month late payment fee or the maximum monthly rate permitted by law. In the event of non-payment of any past due invoice due or a material breach of this Agreement, all outstanding invoices, including any unbilled usage charges shall become immediately due and payable, and Customer shall be considered in default. 

4.2.1.1  Post payment of non-recurring items and charges. For an MRC that begins after the first day of the month, such fees will be prorated for the initial billing period. Each month, 46 Labs shall bill Customer in arrears for MUCs, non-recurring and prorated monthly fees. MRCs that begin or are terminated between the Start of Service Date and the end of a billing period will be prorated. 

4.2.1.2  Prepayment of third-party fees. Unless Customer receives credit approval in writing from 46 Labs, the Customer will be invoiced for all third-party service or equipment charges on a prepaid basis.   

4.3   Customer Credit  

If Customer requests credit from 46 Labs, it agrees that 46 Labs may request credit information from third parties, and Customer authorizes the release of such information. 

4.4   Forms of Payment  

Acceptable forms of payment include ACH and wire transfers. Payment by paper check or cash is not acceptable. 46 Labs may, in its sole discretion, accept payment by credit card. A Credit Card Surcharge will be applied to the total amount paid using a credit card. If Customer pays 46 Labs by credit card, then Customer’s continued use of Services after Customer’s payment to 46 Labs appears on Customer’s credit card account, shall be construed as Customer’s acknowledgement of the validity of such as undisputed fees. Thereafter, Customer waives all rights to reverse such fees and shall be responsible for all expenses and fees 46 Labs incurs for contesting a Customer’s attempt to reverse the credit card charges. 

4.5        Taxes, Surcharges and Other Related Fees 

4.5.1    Taxes 

4.5.1.1    Service fees are exclusive of all taxes, fees, tax-related surcharges, and tax-like surcharges as enumerated below. Customer shall be responsible for, and must pay, all taxes, including, without limitation, sales, use, excise, gross receipts, value added, access, bypass, franchise, telecommunications, consumption and other taxes, fees, duties, charges, or surcharges, roaming charges, however designated, and imposed directly on 46 Labs based on the provision, sale, or use of Service. 

4.5.1.2    If Customer believes it, or the Services it receives and uses, are exempt from any tax, Customer will provide 46 Labs with a properly executed Tax Exempt Document in a form acceptable to 46 Labs that evidences the exemption claimed. Customer shall renew such certification annually and shall provide evidence of such continuing certification upon request by 46 Labs. In the event Customer fails to renew its tax-exempt certification, or if its tax-exempt certification is repealed, Customer shall be responsible to 46 Labs for all such taxes from the date Customer’s tax-exempt certification became invalid. Tax exemption will only apply to taxes incurred after the date 46 Labs receives the updated Tax Exempt Document. Customer may submit their annual Tax Exempt Document to legal@46labs.com. 

4.5.2    Cost Recovery. When an applicable service is regulated or as provided or required by law, 46 Labs may impose recovery fees for certain services to recover costs associated with regulatory compliance, administrative and network facilities costs. These will be described as cost recovery fees on the invoice for the associated service. 

4.5.3    Installation Fees. Quoted installation fees contemplate installations in normal locations under normal working conditions during regular business hours. Any installations under other circumstances including, but not limited to, hazardous locations, on an expedited basis outside of standard installation intervals will be subject to additional fees. 

4.5.4    Third Party Service Charges. If an entity other than 46 Labs imposes fees on 46 Labs in connection with the provisioning of Service to Customer such fees will be invoiced by 46 Labs at a rate of cost plus 20% of the fee. 

4.6 Liquidated Damages 

Early Termination Liability (ETL) 

If Customer terminates any Service Order prior to the expiration of its term, Customer shall pay Early Termination Liability as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty as described in section 2.11. The Parties acknowledge that actual damages resulting from early termination would be impractical or difficult to ascertain and therefore agree that the ETL constitutes a reasonable estimate of such damages. ETL shall be in addition to all outstanding NRCs or other undisputed fees, together with any applicable interest. 

4.7 Recovery of Collection Costs.  

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, Customer shall reimburse 46 Labs for any costs incurred by 46 Labs in undertaking any collection activity, including, but not limited to, the reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees. Reasonable attorney’s fees shall include the time and costs associated with 46 Labs’ in-house legal staff efforts related to the collection activity. For purposes of calculating the time and costs, the Parties stipulate that 46 Labs’ in-house legal staff’s time shall be billed at $350.00 per hour. 

4.8  Right of Offset.  

If Customer defaults on any payment obligation owed 46 Labs under any agreement for more than thirty (30) days and 46 Labs has funds that are owed the defaulting Customer, 46 Labs may offset that which it is owed by first applying such funds to the full balance due by the defaulting Customer. Any amount remaining following the offset shall be remitted to Customer in the normal course of business. 

4.9 No Rollover. 

Unused Monthly base capacities for all services, including but not limited to minutes or text bundles, do not rollover into subsequent months.  

5        Billing Disputes. 

5.1  Customer Obligation.  

Customer’s sole recourse for disputed fees shall be as outlined in this section. Any invoices issued to Customer shall be deemed correct and binding on the Customer unless Customer files a dispute according to the provisions of this Section. Customer shall timely pay the full amount invoiced subject to Billing Disputes described in this Section, even if Customer expects a portion of the invoiced amount to be paid or reimbursed in the future by a third party. Customer shall also pay any repair, telephone charges and fees for inspection, installation or repair of wiring performed on Customer’s premises for the additional fees set forth in the Customer Policies. 

5.2  Requirements for Valid Dispute.  

An invoiced fee will be deemed disputed by Customer if, and only if: (a) Customer believes in good faith that the fee was invoiced in error; (b) Customer provides 46 Labs written notice of the disputed fee no later than ten (10) days from the date of the invoice on which the fee first appeared; and (c) Customer’s notice of the disputed fee includes the amount of the disputed fee, the reason the fee is disputed, and documentation supporting the dispute, and (d) Customer provides all documents supporting each dispute. Customer shall not have the right to withhold any amount not properly disputed. If Customer does not dispute fees on the invoice within ten (10) days from the date of the invoice, then the invoice will be deemed to be correct. 

5.3 Resolution of Disputed Fees.  

46 Labs shall have the right to determine, in good faith, the merit of each dispute and Customer’s associated payment obligation. 46 Labs will investigate all billing disputes and notify Customer in writing that: (a) a credit will be issued to reverse any amount that 46 Labs determines was incorrectly billed, or (b) 46 Labs has determined that the disputed was invoiced correctly. After a billing dispute is resolved, if the dispute is resolved in 46 Labs’ favor, Customer will, within five (5) business days of such resolution, remit to 46 Labs any required payment, plus interest at the lower of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permissible under applicable state law, calculated from the due date until the date payment is received by 46 Labs. Failure to pay such amount in full within such five (5) day period shall be a breach of the Agreement and shall entitle 46 Labs, in addition to its other remedies at law or equity, to terminate all Services to Customer without notice and without liability of any kind or amount. If the dispute is resolved in Customer’s favor, and Customer withheld payment of the disputed amount, then 46 Labs will issue a credit to reverse the amount incorrectly billed. If the dispute is resolved in Customer’s favor and Customer previously paid the disputed amount, then 46 Labs will issue a credit to reverse the amount incorrectly billed and apply such credit against Customer’s next invoice(s). If Customer is no longer being invoiced by 46 Labs, 46 Labs will remit to Customer the amount of the credit in US dollars within forty-five (45) days of the date of such credit. 

6  License, Equipment, Facilities, Data Security, Customer Equipment. 

6.1  Services and Customer Equipment Supplied by 46 Labs. 

6.1.1  License to Services.  

46 Labs grants to Customer a personal, limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, license, without the right to sublicense, transfer, copy or create derivative works, to use the Services during the term of the appropriate SO solely for use with the service specified in such SO and in accordance with the Agreement. 

6.1.2 Ownership of Services.  

Either 46 Labs or other third-parties own and will continue to own the Services. Customer may not decompile, reverse engineer, or otherwise use any software code from any Services provided by 46 Labs or its suppliers. Some software necessary to fully utilize the full functionality of the Services may require Customer to accept additional terms and conditions required by the third-party providers of such services. If Customer has purchased or leased equipment from 46 Labs or its certified third-party leasing company, then the Customer must install equipment in accordance with instructions provided by 46 Labs (or its third-party vendor). Customer may not change the settings on any equipment supplied by 46 Labs or its agents without 46 Labs’ express written consent. In addition, 46 Labs-provided equipment must be used solely for the purpose of Service utilization. 46 Labs will use commercially reasonable efforts to supply and configure the equipment to allow Customer to use the Services, unless Customer is supplying its own equipment or purchasing it from a third party (including a 46 Labs authorized dealer or fulfillment partner). Customer acknowledges any equipment it leases or purchases, through 46 Labs or a recommended fulfillment partner, is only designed to work with 46 Labs’ Services. If Customer or 46 Labs terminates Services for ANY REASON, Customer will NOT be eligible for a refund, either full or partial, for any fees paid by Customer for equipment, or for third party-supplied equipment. 

6.2  Return of Equipment.  

Customer agrees to return all equipment provided 46 Labs or third-party vendors within thirty (30) days of (a) the termination of Services for any reason or (b) upon receiving replacement equipment for non-functioning equipment or as part of a Service upgrade. The equipment must be returned in the same condition as received, normal wear and tear excepted. Customer may receive a prepaid shipping label by emailing the request to support@46labs.com.

Customer’s rights regarding the unavailability or deficient performance of such facilities, services, equipment, or systems not provided by 46 Labs shall be strictly as established by the supplying entity. In all instances, the Customer shall be responsible for the security of its facilities, services, network equipment or systems interconnected, with 46 Labs’ Service.

10.1.2   Intellectual Property.

Neither party may settle any such matter without the consent of the other as to any settlement that imposes an obligation on, or requires any admission by, the other party.

11.9     Billing Errors. 46 Labs’ obligation with respect to any errors resulting in Customer overpayments for Service is limited to granting invoice credits equal to the dollar amounts erroneously billed. Under no circumstances will any billing error affect the Customer’s obligation to pay for Services rendered and used. 

11.10  Third Party. Customer is solely responsible for its interaction and relationship with any third-party provider that it may engage for any purpose. If Customer has a dispute with a third-party service provider, Customer agrees that 46 Labs is not liable for any claims or damages arising out of or connected with such dispute. 46 Labs reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor any such dispute.

13.7     Governing Law, Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without reference to its principles of conflicts of laws. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (“CISG”) shall not apply. Customer and 46 Labs both hereby irrevocably agree that any suit brought by either Party arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the State of Texas, and Customer and 46 Labs both hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. The Parties both hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which either Party may raise now, or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

In the event any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the law under which this Agreement is to be construed or if any such provision is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court with jurisdiction over the Parties to this Agreement, such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intention of the Parties in accordance with the applicable law, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement does not affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision or portion of this Agreement. 

13.10  Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties. Notwithstanding the former, 46 Labs may assign its rights, interest, or obligations to an Affiliate upon providing written notice to the Customer. Subject to the preceding, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. 

13.11  No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except to the extent explicitly provided, this Agreement and any associated SO is being executed for the sole and exclusive benefit of 46 Labs and Customer and is not for the benefit of any third parties. The execution of the Agreement and any associated SO shall not create any obligations or confirm any rights on any person or entity other than the Parties hereto.

Attachment 2 

Service Level Agreement 

This SLA is effective upon the installation of the Service. It defines the provisions and commitments for service quality between 46 Labs (“Provider”) and the Customer. The provisions of this SLA set forth the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies for any service interruptions or deficiencies. This SLA applies to all Services provided by 46 Labs. The Service will be available throughout the Term as described herein, except during periods of: 

• Scheduled Maintenance of the 46 Labs network or its underlying circuit provider’s networks. 

• 46 Labs will use reasonable efforts to provide prior notice of Scheduled Maintenance to the Customer via electronic mail. 

• 46 Labs may also interrupt its provision of Service for unscheduled Emergency Maintenance without prior notice to the Customer or the Customer’s customers. 

2        Definitions 

2.1 “Emergency Maintenance” shall mean an unplanned maintenance scheduled for a critical service issue. Notification of an Emergency Maintenance will be a minimum of four (4) hours in advance. 

2.2 “Maintenance Window” shall mean scheduled downtimes, whether for Scheduled Maintenance or Emergency Maintenance, to provide upgrades of hardware, software, or upgrades to increase service capacity. 

2.3 “Scheduled Maintenance” shall mean the planned maintenance for the Service. 46 Labs will use reasonable efforts to provide prior notification via electronic mail to Customer regarding any scheduled maintenance of the Service. 

2.4 “Service Downtime” shall mean the amount of time the Service is unavailable below the Uptime Minimum in each month subject to the limitations of Section 4 herein. 

2.5 “Uptime Minimum” shall be the measure of the Service availability and shall equal at least ninety-nine and ninety-nine one-hundredths percent (99.99%) of the time during a calendar month. 

3 Service Commitment 

46 Labs will use commercially reasonable efforts under the circumstances to maintain service quality and availability.  The quality of service provided hereunder shall be consistent with other common industry standards, government regulations and sound business practices. Whenever conditions reasonably permit, the parties will mutually agree on the scope, timing, frequency and duration of any planned service disruptions or delays and will jointly attempt to minimize any unnecessary impact on Customer’s business operations. Routine daily maintenance will be accomplished whenever possible by scheduling between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. In addition, longer maintenance will be accomplished, when possible, on weekends between the hours of 6:00 p.m. ET Saturday and 8:00 a.m. ET Monday, unless 46 Labs notifies the Customer otherwise.    

4 Service Availability 

The Service and all Customer content shall be accessible to Customer’s authorized users 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, excluding scheduled times for maintenance and updates as indicated herein. 

5  Service Redundancy, Disaster Recovery and Failover 

If the Customer has chosen a redundant Service option hosted in a 46 Labs datacenter, then if a 46 Labs’ data center is damaged or the Service is interrupted for technical reasons, at any time during the Term of this Agreement, 46 Labs will promptly and diligently seek to have such interruption resolved. If the 46 Labs data center is unable to securely deliver the Services within a reasonable amount of time, then 46 Labs shall failover the Customer’s production environment to the 46 Labs redundant facility. In such event, 46 Labs expects the recovery time for the production environment to be no more than forty-eight (48) hours, and 46 Labs’ redundant facility will support Customer’s Service at 100 percent (100%) of the production environment’s normal operating capacity.
