OCENS, Inc. Iridium Satellite Services Terms & Agreements
- 1. Availability of limited service: Service is generally available to satellite terminals equipped for this service when within the satellite footprint. Service is furnished to Customer or Customers authorized user. A telephone number may not appear in more than one terminal. Customer has no property right in such number.

- 3. Data Transmission Use and Dropped Calls: Due to the technical nature of data setups and the inherent sophistication of data transmission through a variety of satellites, systems and networks, OCENS makes no representation as to the success of data calls through the system. Customer agrees that all data call attempts regardless of ultimate successful transmission and termination will be paid for and no credits will be given in the event of disputes of this nature. Along with potential incorrect use (i.e., next to a building/obstruction), the Iridium system (a low earth orbiting satellite constellation) has inherent flaws and anomalies that can create dropped calls of either voice or data nature. Dropped calls will not be credited. OCENS can provide data setup technical support beyond the normal provided setup instructions at an additional charge.
