4. Charges

4.1.    The applicable Charges are set out at https://www.inmarsatpartners.com, in an order form which has been accepted by Inmarsat and/or as notified to you by Inmarsat.

6.6.    Excluding Customer’s obligation to pay Charges to Inmarsat and Customer’s obligations under Clause 7.1 (b), the aggregate liability of each Party (and their respective Affiliates) to the other Party (and its Affiliates) under or in connection with this Agreement, whether in tort (including negligence), breach of contract, breach of statutory duty, misrepresentation or otherwise, shall at all times be limited to the greater of: (i) an amount equal to the total payments which have fallen due to Inmarsat under this Agreement during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the event that gave rise to the claim; and (ii) US$1,000,000 (one million United States Dollars).

6.7.    Customer acknowledges that Inmarsat cannot guarantee, and nor is it liable for, the security of information transmitted via the Inmarsat Network, and that Inmarsat does not warrant that the provision of any Product will be uninterrupted or error-free.

16.7    Relationship of Parties. The Parties intend that the relationship created between them by this Agreement shall be as independent contractors.

Until such time, Inmarsat will retain title to the Equipment and have a security interest therein. Customer will keep Equipment to which Inmarsat has retained title free from any liens, charges, claims or encumbrances and will execute all such documents as may be reasonably required by Inmarsat to evidence or perfect its security interest.

5. Inspection and Acceptance

5.1    Customer has the right to inspect Equipment that has been tendered for acceptance. Customer may require Inmarsat to repair or replace nonconforming Equipment at no additional charge. Customer must exercise its rights under this Paragraph within thirty (30) days after: (i) receipt of the Equipment; or (ii) the earlier of when a defect is discovered or should have been discovered; provided, however, that Customer must exercise the rights under this Paragraph before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the defective item, unless the change is due to the defect in the item.

Customer will bear all shipment and insurance costs related to such return shipment. Any returns must be coordinated through Customer’s Account Manager.

7. Liability for Data Use

7.1    Customer shall be fully liable for payment for any and all data charges accrued through the use of the Equipment. It is the sole obligation and responsibility of Customer to ensure that all Equipment and associated computer hardware and software are properly configured (including with respect to any services with which they are used) and that only authorized users are permitted access to the Equipment. No credits or refunds will be provided by Inmarsat for data (or voice) usage that is alleged to be accidental, inadvertent, or unauthorized.

8. Warranty

8.1    Inmarsat warrants that the Equipment will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one year.

8.3    The warranty periods referred to in Paragraphs 8.1, 8.2 and 8.6 will commence at the time of delivery of the Equipment pursuant to this Agreement.

8.4    Subject to the terms of this Schedule, Inmarsat will during the warranty period where a valid warranty claim has been raised, at its sole option either repair or replace the nonconforming Equipment containing material defects in workmanship and materials. If Inmarsat determines that neither repairing nor replacing the Equipment is commercially reasonable upon return of the Equipment to Inmarsat, refund all sums paid by Customer to Inmarsat with respect to the nonconforming Equipment. Subject to the terms of this Schedule, the remedies set out under this Paragraph 8 are Customer’s sole remedy in the event of a warranty claim.

8.5    All repairs on warrantable defects within the warranty period will be performed by Inmarsat at no charge. For the avoidance of doubt, only the parts and labour directly related to the specific warranty-covered repair shall be free of charge.

8.6    Once a warranty repair has been completed, Inmarsat shall provide a ninety (90) day warranty on such repair and shall provide repairs on any non-warranty Equipment repair where the fault is caused by the replaced or repaired part. For any repairs requested after the warranty period, Inmarsat will provide a quote for such repairs and if the quote is accepted and the work authorized by Customer, the repairs will be performed at Customer’s expense.

8.7    The warranty under this Paragraph 8 does not extend to any defect resulting from the Equipment being altered, improperly installed by a third party or which fails or is damaged after delivery due to accident, act of God, shipment or handling, or due to storage, operation, use, or maintenance in a manner or environment which does not conform to the Equipment manufacturer's instructions or specifications provided by Inmarsat to Customer from time to time.

8.8    All warranties offered by Inmarsat are a “back-to-base” warranty, such that Customer will bear the transportation cost of returning any nonconforming or defective Equipment to Inmarsat’s designated premises and also the transportation cost of returning the Equipment following a repair from Inmarsat’s designated premises to Customer’s premises.

8.9    Inmarsat’s standard warranty for Equipment is set out in this Paragraph 8. Inmarsat may offer Product specific warranties which will be set out in the relevant Product Data Sheet. In the event of any ambiguity or inconsistency between the warranty provisions, the Product specific warranty shall take precedence.

9.1    Customer shall comply with all procedures (“Procedures”) established by such third parties that supply the Equipment to Inmarsat, as may be provided and/or modified from time to time. Inmarsat shall provide Customer with the applicable Procedures upon execution of the Agreement and at any time when the Procedures are modified.

9.2    Customer shall not modify the Equipment in a manner that infringes the Procedures or would otherwise alter the transmission characteristics of the Equipment.

Customer shall request copies of any relevant performance criteria from Inmarsat prior to establishing any such connection.

9.4    Equipment Withdrawal. Notwithstanding Clause 9 of the General Terms and Conditions, Inmarsat is entitled to withdraw any Equipment without prior written notice to Customer if the Equipment manufacturer ceases to make such Equipment available to Inmarsat for resale.

11.4    Inmarsat may charge Customer and Customer will pay Inmarsat for the fair market value of the Equipment, in its reasonable determination, if Customer fails to return the Equipment to Inmarsat within thirty (30) days of the end of the rental term.

11.5    Any breach by Customer of this Paragraph 11 shall entitle Inmarsat to enter Customer’s premises where the Equipment is reasonably believed to be located, and remove such Equipment without any legal process or notice, and without being liable for trespass or damage, and to declare all amounts remaining unpaid to be immediately due and payable by Customer.

12. Equipment Installation and Maintenance

12.2    Customer shall at all times comply with the standards, operating procedures, and requirements required by Inmarsat for the Equipment installation and operating environment.

5.3  Consequences of Termination or Cancellation

5.3.1  In the event that Inmarsat terminates this Agreement or any Work Order hereunder pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, in no event will Inmarsat be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, reliance or consequential damages resulting from such termination, including without limitation, loss of business profits.

5.3.4 Within ten (10) calendar days of termination, cancellation or other expiration of this Agreement, Contractor shall return to Inmarsat all papers, written materials, properties, other materials and other information furnished to Contractor by Inmarsat under this Agreement.

5.3.5  The terms, conditions and warranties contained in this Agreement that are intended to survive the performance hereof by either or both Parties hereunder shall so survive the completion of performance, cancellation or termination of this Agreement or any Work Order hereunder.

6. Excusable Delays

Neither Party to this Agreement shall be liable for its failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder during any time period in which its, or its subcontractors' or vendors', performance is delayed by fire, flood, extreme weather conditions precluding performance, lack of availability of equipment from Inmarsat, war, embargo, strike or riot, or the intervention of any government authority (“Excusable Delay”), provided the cause of such Excusable Delay is beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of the non-performing Party, its subcontractors or vendors and further providing that the Party suffering such Excusable Delay immediately notifies the other Party of the delay. In the event of an Excusable Delay the delivery requirements for such performance shall be extended by a mutually agreed upon term in writing. Notwithstanding the above, Inmarsat may at its option, without liability other than to reimburse Contractor for actually incurred reasonable costs and expenses to the date of termination, terminate any Work Order that is delayed more than ten (10) calendar days because of any Excusable Delay.

7. Warranties

7.1 Contractor hereby warrants and represents that all Services provided hereunder shall be performed by qualified personnel promptly and with diligence, in strict accordance with the descriptions of such Services in these Terms, the SOW, or in any Work Order and to Inmarsat’s satisfaction. For a period of twelve (12) months from the applicable installation date Contractor shall remedy, repair or reinstall, as necessary and at no additional charge to Inmarsat, any Services provided under this Agreement which are found to be defective and in breach of the above warranty for said period. Further, for a period of twelve (12) months from the applicable installation date Contractor shall remedy, repair or reinstall, as necessary and at no additional charge to Inmarsat, any material provided under this Agreement which is found to be defective and in breach of the above warranty for said period.

7.2  If during the twelve (12) months after the completion of the installation performed by Contractor for Inmarsat, Inmarsat determines that there is a problem which constitutes a breach of warranty, Inmarsat will notify Contractor and Contractor shall promptly investigate such breach and advise Inmarsat of Contractor's planned corrective action after which Contractor shall promptly re-perform by providing other personnel or take such other action as may be required to correct such breach of warranty at no additional charge to Inmarsat. If such breach of warranty causes Inmarsat’s customer’s system to be affected or has/may cause some form of structural damage to Inmarsat’s customer’s premises, then Contractor will remedy such breach of warranty to Inmarsat's reasonable satisfaction within four (4) calendar days from Inmarsat's notice to Contractor.
