Terms and Conditions

Agreement. This is an agreement between Cipherkey Exchange Corporation (“CIPHERKEY) and the user (“Customer’) specifying the terms and conditions under which CIPHERKEY will provide certain Internet services (the “Service”) to the Customer. By establishing an account, or using the Service, or by signing this agreement, Customer agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions and any other applicable user policies agreements, or as may be required by statute or regulation.

Charges & Billing. Service is provided for full monthly terms. Customer agrees to pay all fees and charges associated with the use of the Service such as service fees and charges for installation and service calls and other items supplied, including applicable taxes. Monthly recurring fees are payable monthly in advance. Any other charges are payable when billed. Initial charges are due and payable prior to service activation. Initial charges include the first month subscription fee (pro-rated from install date), the second month subscription fee, and any onetime cost of setup and hardware purchases. Subsequent monthly fees will be billed or charged at the beginning of the month for a full month’s charge. Customer understands and agrees that he or she will be responsible for the full month’s charge in the event of early termination within the month’s billing cycle. Customer agrees to settle CIPHERKEY’s invoice upon receipt. Accounts are in default if payment of all amounts due is not received within thirty (30) days after date of invoice, and are subject to an interest rate on the outstanding balance at a rate of 2% per month (26.82% per year) calculated from date of invoice. CIPHERKEY may terminate or suspend service at any time at its sole discretion, for non-payment of account charges. In the case of termination for non-payment, the Customer is fully liable to CIPHERKEY for all charges accrued before termination, including, without limitation, interest charges and costs incurred by CIPHERKEY for collection costs and attorney’s fees. In the event of disconnection, Customer must pay CIPHERKEY balance due on the account in full and will be required for a new sign up before Service reactivation. Where applicable, Customer will provide CIPHERKEY with a valid exemption certificate to exempt Customer, under applicable law, from taxes that would otherwise be paid by Customer. CIPHERKEY will invoice Customer for taxes that are not covered by any tax exemption certificate filed by Customer with CIPHERKEY. Should Customer not provide CIPHERKEY with the applicable tax exemption certificate, it will be the Customer’s responsibility to obtain any tax credits directly from the agency concerned. For each occurrence, CIPHERKEY will impose a $42.50 charge for any cheque that is returned for any reason by a financial institution, or for declined pre-authorized payments by credit card or bank debit. It is the Customer’s responsibility to inform or notify CIPHERKEY of any changes of his or her credit card or banking information.

Billing Disputes: The Customer must notify CIPHERKEY in writing of any disputed charges within thirty (30) days of the date of the billing for such charges. In the absence of such dispute, charges billed are deemed correct and dispute waived. In the event that the Customer, in good faith, determines that there is a material discrepancy between CIPHERKEY’s invoiced charges and Customer’s calculation of charges owed, Customer shall be permitted to withhold payment of such disputed charges, provided that Customer pays all undisputed charges on or before due date and presents in good faith and in reasonable detail the billing discrepancy in question for the purpose of resolving the disputed charges. In the event parties fail to mutually resolve the disputed charges within a reasonable time period which will generally be within thirty (30) days of the next billing cycle, the parties shall resolve such dispute by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator appointed by agreement. CIPHERKEY reserves the right to put the disputed services on hold to avoid incurring additional costs. Billing disputes can be reported by email to accounts@CIPHERKEY.com.

Cancellations. Customer may immediately terminate the service for any reason at any time by notifying CIPHERKEY over the phone and providing account holder verification. If a Customer cancel a request for the Service after installation work has started, Customer will be charged for the installation including the cost of equipment, labour, materials and supplies incurred. Rental units not returned to CIPHERKEY in acceptable condition and complete with all components within 15 days of last day of cancelled service will be subject to the full replacement value being charged to Customers credit card or financial institution account, and subject to the maximum interest penalty allowed by law on late returns. Any term agreements cancelled prior their full term has elapsed will be immediately subject to termination fees as determined by CIPHERKEY, but not to exceed the value of the remaining months in the term multiplied by the monthly term rate.

The Service is provided for personal use of the Customer as an end-user and is not intended for resell or transfer to any other person or user for any purpose, without the express and written permission of CIPHERKEY. The Customer agrees to use the Service solely for lawful purposes and will not otherwise violate any applicable local, state, provincial, federal or international law.

Service is being provided on a “fair use” basis, meaning that the Customer is to use the service in a normal prudent and fair manner consistent with normal residential use. Unlimited bandwidth is provided under a fair use basis, and CIPHERKEY reserves the right to cancel any agreements it deems abusing the unlimited privelege. CIPHERKEY reserves the right to suspend or terminate service immediately and without advance notice if in the sole judgment of CIPHERKEY, the Customer is in violation of this condition. In the event of service termination for stated reason, the Customer will be responsible for the full month’s charges to the end of the current term, including without limitation unbilled charges, all of which become immediately due and payable. Suspension or termination of the Service does not affect Customer’s obligation to pay any amount owed to CIPHERKEY. Minimum service term is one month.

If required to then send back the equipment to CIPHERKEY for repair or replacement, customer is only responsible to pay for the shipping, and not the repair or replacement cost of the equipment.
