Galaxy 1 Satellite Service Terms and Conditions

Service is furnished to Customer or Customer’s authorized user. A telephone number may not appear in more than one terminal or SIM. Customer has no property right in such number. GALAXY 1 reserves the right to assign, designate, or change such number, when, in its sole discretion, such action is reasonably necessary in the conduct of its business.
(2) Data Transmission Use & Dropped Calls: Due to the technical nature of data interface and the inherent sophistication of data transmission through a variety of operating systems, GALAXY 1 makes no representation as to the success of data calls through the systems. Customer agrees that all data call attempts regardless of ultimate successful transmission and termination will be paid for and no credits will be given in the event of dispute of this nature. With the potential for incorrect use (i.e.: next to a building/obstruction), anomalies can occur that cause dropped calls of either voice or data nature. Dropped calls will not be credited. GALAXY 1 can provide data setup technical support beyond the normal provided setup instructions at an additional charge. Please consult with a sales representative for more details.
