Starlink-SPECIFIC Service Terms
These Starlink Service Terms (the “Starlink Terms”) govern only Customer’s purchase and use of Starlink Services and Equipment provided by Company as a part of the Customer’s Service Plan. These Starlink Terms supplement and form a part of this Agreement between the parties. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Starlink Terms and the Agreement with respect to Starlink-specific services and equipment, these Starlink Terms shall govern.
Starlink Services.
Starlink. The Service may be provided using a best-effort transmission service using the Starlink Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Network.
Service Location: In relation to service location:
Fixed Location. Service Plans supplied at a “fixed location” will be provided to the location specified by Customer in writing, using the Equipment specified in the Purchase Order. In the event the Customer requires relocation of a fixed Service to a new location, it must provide prior written notice to Company. Customer acknowledges that not all Services can be relocated. Company will respond to the request and advise, in its sole discretion, whether the Services can be relocated (which may be contingent on Network availability). Subject to the foregoing, Customer may only move a fixed Service address a maximum of one (1) time per month. In the event the Services can be relocated, a Move Add-on and Change fee may apply as well as a change to the total fee for the Service as a result of the relocation. Customer is responsible for any removal and installation of related Equipment, including any related expenses.
Mobile. Service Plans supplied with ‘mobility’ enabled will enable the Customer to relocate their Services at no extra charge. Stated speeds and uninterrupted use of the Service are not guaranteed and are highly dependent on geographical areas.
Speed and Traffic Priority.
Generally. Actual throughput may be less than the maximum speed provided. Depending on the Service Plan, a monthly volume of traffic may be prioritized above non-prioritized traffic. The volume of prioritized traffic is specified in the Service Plan. The Starlink Fair Use Policy describes how Starlink manages network traffic and allocates customer data based on Customer’s Service Plan.
Priority Service Plans. Priority Service Plans assign a set amount of “Priority” data for Customers each month, as specified in the Purchase Order and Starlink Fair Use Policy. These are for land-based fixed sites only and maximum speeds are uncapped. See the Starlink Specifications for details on the typical performance. Priority data is given network precedence over standard and mobile data, meaning users will experience faster and more consistent download and upload speeds. Unused Priority data does not rollover to the next month. If Customer has exhausted Priority data purchased in a given month, upon request Company may purchase additional Priority data on Customer’s behalf, or opt in on Customer’s behalf for automatic consumption of additional Priority Access after reaching data limits, at the rates set forth on the Purchase Order. Customer will be billed monthly for additional gigabytes (GB) purchased or used.
Mobile Priority Service Plans. Starlink Mobile Priority Service Plans allow Customers to access Services at any destination around the world where Starlink provides active coverage. It is designed for high bandwidth or in-motion users who want global land plus ocean access and maximum speeds are uncapped. The Mobile Priority Service Plans assign a set amount of “Mobile Priority” data to Customers each month. Mobile Priority data is given network precedence over Standard and Mobile data, meaning users will experience faster and more consistent download and upload speeds, as described in the Fair Use Policy. See Starlink Specifications for details on the expected performance. Stated speeds and uninterrupted use of the Service are not guaranteed and are highly dependent on geographical areas. Unused Mobile Priority data does not rollover to the next month. After a user’s Mobile Priority data is exhausted each month, behavior of the Service will depend on the where the Service is being used:
For inland coverage (including lakes and rivers), after Mobile Priority data is exhausted, users will receive unlimited Mobile data, which will result in slower speeds and degradation of bandwidth intensive applications during times of network congestion. If Customer has exhausted Mobile Priority data purchased in a given month, upon request Company may purchase additional Priority data on Customer’s behalf, or opt in on Customer’s behalf for automatic consumption of additional Priority Access after reaching data limits, at the rates set forth on the Purchase Order. Customer will be billed monthly for additional GB purchased or used.
For ocean coverage, after Mobile Priority data is exhausted, users will be unable to connect to the internet until Customer requests that Company purchase additional Mobile Priority data on Customer’s behalf, or opts in on Customer’s behalf for automatic consumption of additional Mobile Priority Access after reaching data limits, at the rates set forth on the Purchase Order. Customer will be billed monthly for additional GB purchased or used.
Equipment Field of View. Transmission Equipment (Starlink Satellite Terminals) is required to be installed with an uninterrupted field of view to the sky. Failure to install correctly may affect service performance.
IP Addresses. IP addresses (static or dynamic) for the Service are determined by Starlink. Starlink reserves the right to change their policy on IP address.
Equipment Delivery and Installation.
Delivery. Company will cause Equipment to be shipped to Customer using standard methods for packaging and shipping. All prices quoted and Equipment shipped are F.C.A. (Free Carrier). Customer shall pay all freight, handling, delivery, and insurance charges for shipment of Equipment, which may be included on an applicable invoice regardless of any estimate provided. Choice of carrier, shipping method, and route shall be at the election of Company. Any time quoted for delivery is an estimate only. Company shall not be bound to tender delivery of Equipment for which Customer has not provided delivery instructions and other required information. Customer shall take delivery of Equipment within five (5) business days of Company’s notice that Equipment has been delivered. Company reserves the right to make delivery in installments; all such installments shall be separately invoiced and paid for when due per such invoice, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Delay in delivery of any installment will not relieve Customer of its obligations to accept remaining deliveries. Claims for shortages or other errors in delivery or defects in Equipment must be made in writing to Company within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of shipment, and failure to give such notice will constitute unqualified acceptance and a waiver of all such claims by Customer.
Risk of Loss. Risk of loss for Equipment will pass to Customer upon delivery to the designated carrier. Without limiting the foregoing, if Customer fails to accept delivery of any Equipment on the date when the same have been delivered, or if the carrier is unable to deliver any Equipment because Customer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses, or authorizations: (a) risk of loss to the Equipment will remain with the Customer; (b) the Equipment will be deemed to have been delivered; (c) Company, at its option, may store the Equipment until Customer picks it up; and (d) Customer will be liable for all related costs and expenses (including storage, insurance, and additional shipping costs).
Title. Title to Equipment shall transfer to Customer once full payment for Equipment is received by Company.
No Returns. Except as otherwise agreed in a Purchase Order or under these Starlink Terms, no Equipment will be accepted for return.
Customer Self Installation. Customer is responsible for self-installation of Equipment, or for facilitating installation using third-party providers separate from Company. Company makes no guarantees about installation support provided to Customer. Customer’s responsibility includes, but is not limited to: (i) Identifying a suitable location for installation of Equipment; (ii) Performing a check for obstructions using Starlink-enabled technologies; (iii) Installing Equipment securely so that it will not become dislodged due to weather or external factors; (iv) Compliance with all applicable building codes, zoning, ordinances, business district rules, conditions, restrictions, lease obligations, and landlord/owner approvals and requirements that are applicable to the Service and installation of Equipment; (v) Paying any associated fees or other charges, and to obtaining any permits and other authorizations necessary for the Services and installation of Equipment; and (vi) If Customer requires a permanent roof mount installation, Customer acknowledges the potential risks associated with this type of installation, including with respect to any warranty that applies to penetration of Customer’s roof or roof membrane.
Kit Modifications. Modifications or alterations (including changes that are cosmetic in nature) to Equipment are subject to Section 19.5(b) (Exclusions) and may affect Service performance. Customer may not modify any Equipment in a manner that contradicts Starlink installation guides or that would otherwise alter the transmission characteristics of the Equipment. To maintain the Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty in Section 19.5(a) (Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty), all modifications made by Customer to Equipment must be approved by Company in writing. Failure to comply with these requirements may void the warranty, as determined in Company’s sole discretion, and Customer may be required to purchase replacement Equipment for continued use of the Service at Customer’s sole cost and expense.
Kit Installation for Use on Moving Vehicles. Customer must take proper precautions when installing Equipment on a moving vehicle or vessel. Customer is responsible for ensuring that any antenna mount is installed on a structurally sound, horizonal surface. Customer acknowledges that Equipment falling into the road or off of a vessel due to poor installation may cause serious accidents resulting in bodily injury or death, and Customer is solely responsible for any loss or liability associated with such poor installation. Customer must not mount Equipment on any vehicle or vessel if it is not stable or if it cannot be properly secured in accordance with applicable Starlink installation guides and with a proper mount.
In-motion use prohibited. Customer must not install or use Equipment on a moving vehicle or vessel unless Starlink has designated the specific Equipment as appropriate for in-motion use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, use or installation of Equipment on an aircraft of any kind is prohibited in all cases. Violation of these limitations will void the limited warranty set forth in Section 19.5(a) (Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty) and is grounds for termination of these Starlink Terms and Service without penalty or liability to Company.
Support. Customer may engage in self-service support utilizing the Data Usage Monitoring Service provided by the Company.
