Skyway USA Terms and Conditions

General Terms:

Skyway USA service is available in the continental U.S. with an unobstructed view of the southern sky, is not available in Alaska & Hawaii, and its usage is subject to the Reasonable Use Policy. Actual speeds vary based on the amount of traffic on the Internet, content on a particular Web site, or by the overall performance and configuration of your computer. Stated speeds and uninterrupted use of service are not guaranteed. Professional Installation is suggested but not required. Monthly service fees apply. Taxes not included. Skyway USA broadband Internet and Skyway USA hardware, and installation are sold separately.

Service Commitment:

All Skyway USA Plans require a 12-month Minimum Service commitment. If you terminate service prior to the expiration of the 12-month commitment, you will owe and your credit card will be charged Termination Fees as described below.

Termination:

If you cancel your order before you receive your equipment, if you self-install or prior to installation, if you are professionally installed, you will not be charged.

When you receive your equipment, you must read the information in the packet on the front of the box marked “STOP”. The packet will inform you “DO NOT BREAK THE SEAL AND OPEN THE BOX PRIOR TO READING THE ENCLOSED INFORMATION”. The information enclosed will ask you to recheck to make sure that you have a local phone number for the connectivity path, and that you have a clean line of site for the installation of your dish, prior to opening the box.

If you break the seal on the box, and decide that you want to return the equipment, you will be charged $150 restocking fee and $50 service termination fee.

If you elect to self install the equipment, SkyWay USA’s Tech Support department will help you with the installation process. The majority of our customers have been able to get the system up and running, but if you attempt to install the equipment and cannot locate the satellite with our technical support, you will need to have a professional satellite installer come out and locate the satellite for you. SkyWay USA has numerous installers nationwide that it contracts with for the installation fulfillment process and will make every attempt to secure an installer to finish the installation process. However, in some remote areas where we do not have an installer under contract, it would be your responsibility to locate a satellite dealer or installer in your area.

If you terminate the agreement prior to the completion of the term of the agreement (12 months), you are obligated to immediately pay the balance of the remainder of the agreement and you will not be eligible to receive any refunds.

If you are professionally installed and you cancel your service, you are obligated to immediately pay the balance of the remainder of your contract, regardless of use, and you will not be eligible to receive any refunds.

Skyway USA's Privacy Policy - An Overview

Skyway USA is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of consumers of its products and its services.

Disclosure

We do not use or disclose information about your individual visits to Skyway USA or information that you may give us, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, to any outside companies. But as we mention above, we may share with our Website partners aggregated statistical "ratings" information about the use of Skyway USA services.

The purpose of this Skyway USA privacy policy is to inform you, as a welcome visitor to this site, what kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit the Skyway USA Website, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information. Finally, please note that this policy applies only to Skyway USA brand, and not to other companies' or organizations' Websites to which we link. We have clearly marked Skyway USA and these branded Websites with our logo so you know where this policy applies.

Information About All Skyway USA Visitors

In general, our service automatically gathers certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to Skyway USA and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our customers use parts of the site, so we can improve our site to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as possible. For example, Skyway USA uses a technology nicknamed "cookies" that tells us how and when pages in our site are visited, and by how many people. Skyway USA cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personally identifiable information to tell us who you are or even what your screen name or email address is. We also may provide statistical "ratings" information, never information about you personally, to our Skyway USA partners about how our subscribers, collectively, use Skyway USA. We do this so they too can understand how much people use their areas and our site in order for them to provide you with the best possible Web experience as well.

Information About You

Sometimes, we may specifically ask for information about you when you sign up to use the service. We will need certain information - such as name, Internet address or username, billing address, type of computer, credit card number - in order to provide that service or product to you. We may also use that information to let you know of additional products and services about which you might be interested. You hereby agree that we, or our partners, may send you this information. You can choose not to receive such information if you don't want to by letting us know on the registration screen when you sign up for the product or service. We may ask you for information about your interests so that both you and we can take advantage of the interactivity of the online medium, but you may always choose to respond or not.

Skyway USA Privacy Policy Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy for Skyway USA, we will post those changes on SkywayUSA.com, so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone.
