1. AGREEMENT. This is an agreement between Vortex Wireless (“VW”) a division of Holt Enterprises, LLC and the customer (“Subscriber”) to provide wireless Internet Service ("the Service"). By establishing an account or using the Service or equipment, Subscriber agrees to be bound by this Agreement and to use the Service in compliance with VW’s Acceptable Usage Policy which is available by going to www.VortexWireless.com.

2. TERM. The term of this Agreement is for an initial term of twelve (24) months

 This Agreement will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis after the end of the initial term unless Subscriber notifies VW of intent to cancel service in writing, no less than thirty (30) days in advance of the expiration of the current term. VW reserves the right to change the price of the Service at any time with 30 days notice. Prices for other VW services may change at any time upon 30 days notice and will be posted on the VW homepage: www.VortexWireless.com. Current rates may also be obtained by calling (270) 866-9477.

3. THE SERVICE. The Service can vary depending on location, Internet traffic, CPU speed, operating system configuration and other factors beyond the control of VW. VW provides the service on a "best effort" basis and does not guarantee estimated upload and download speeds. In order to receive VW Service Subscriber must be located near an VW transmitter. Trees, buildings, etc. may interfere with VW signals and affect a home or business, but not other nearby locations.

4. CANCELLATION. If Subscriber is dissatisfied with the Service or any associated terms, conditions, rules, policies, guidelines, or practices, Subscriber’s sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Service, cancel their account, and pay any cancellation fees that apply. Termination of the Service does not release Subscriber from liability for charges due under this Agreement. If Subscriber chooses to terminate this Agreement before the expiration of the then current term, Subscriber will be liable for an early termination fee of $150.00. This represents a reasonable amount to compensate VW for installation and VW provided equipment. If VW provides equipment for use in connection with our Service, all equipment must be returned in good condition or damage/loss charges may apply. Cancellation of the Service after the order date and before installation of equipment will not result in a charge, provided that all VW owned equipment is returned within thirty (30) days of cancellation. Cancellation request must be mailed to VW at Post Office Box 429, Russell Springs, KY 42642. Cancellation will be effective at the end of the billing period during which notice of cancellation is received. Upon cancellation, all services will be terminated and any Subscriber data stored on VW servers will be deleted. VW may terminate this Agreement, the password, the account, or use of Services for any reason, including but not limited to: violation of this Agreement; failure to pay service charges when due; any illegal activity involving the Service. Termination notice will be sent by email and by U.S. Mail to the address provided at Service initiation. All notices to Subscriber shall be deemed effective on the first (1st) day following the date of the email or on fourth (4th) day following the date of the mailing. Sections 1, 4,6,10, 11 and 12 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.
