Ambient Devices, Inc. ("Ambient") will sell to Customer the messaging services on the Ambient Information Network ("Services") and the related equipment ("Equipment") offered by Ambient from time to time, subject 
to availability of Equipment and approval of Customer's credit by Ambient. Ambient will provide Services only where it is legally authorized and has the facilities to do so.

2. Bills, Payments and Prices.

Activation fees and initial Service fees, if any, must be paid at the time of activation by credit card or other means acceptable to Ambient.

Ambient will thereafter charge Customer in advance for Services (except for fees based on overcalls or the amount of usage, which will be charged in arrears), plus taxes and assessments. Customer’s payment is due 
in full, without discount or offset, (a) for billed accounts, 30 days after the invoice date, and (b) for all other accounts, on the date charged. Customer will be charged for Services, whether or not suspended, for all billing 
periods during which a telephone number or personal identification number is assigned to Customer. Customer’s payment for Equipment purchased directly from Ambient is due in full when shipped or delivered, 
whichever occurs first. Ambient may charge customer interest on any balance not paid within 30 days after the due date at the lesser of (i) 1.5% per month or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law, from the due date 
until paid. Customer waives any right to dispute any charge unless Customer notifies Ambient of the dispute within 30 days after receipt of notice of the charge. If a check is returned to Ambient marked unpaid, Cus-
tomer will pay Ambient’s then applicable returned check fee, which will be at least $20. Customer authorizes Ambient to charge delinquent payments to Customer's credit card account. Customer will pay Ambient's 
standard list prices in effect from time to time.

3. Changes in Services or Equipment.

Ambient may add, delete or modify Equipment or Services at any time, including changes that may affect the coverage area of the Services. Ambient will make information thereof available to Customer, including

For other accounts, the Services will be provided for each period for which customer is billed or charged until terminated in writing by either party no less than 30 days prior notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ambi-
ent may suspend Customer’s service without prior notice in accordance with sections 8 or 10 of this agreement. After activation, neither Ambient nor any retailer will issue Customer credit for used or unused Services 
for which payment has been received.

Ambient will repair or replace, at no cost to Customer, any Equipment that malfunctions during normal use (for reasons other than abuse or damage,  including water damage) in the first 30 days after the date of pur-
chase. Customer must notify Ambient of the malfunction within such period and deliver the Equipment to Ambient in accordance with its instructions.

7. Risk of Loss.

Customer bears all risk for lost, damaged or stolen Equipment. If offered by Ambient, Customer may enroll the Equipment in Ambient's Pager Loss Protection Program, upon Ambient's standard terms and conditions 
for the Program.

8. Default by Customer.

Customer will be in default ("Customer Default") if Customer (i) fails to make any payment by the due date; (ii) fails to perform any other obligation in this Agreement which continues for 30 days following Customer’s 
receipt of written notice of default; or (iii) terminates its existence, discontinues business, has a receiver appointed for any of its property, makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or has any proceedings 
under any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar laws commenced by or against it. Upon the occurrence of any Customer Default, Ambient may, immediately and without notice, exercise one or more of the following
