This benefit only applies to single-tail monthly subscriptions and may not be shared across fleets.

Gogo will provide you at least thirty (30) days’ notice of any planned increase in the price of Gogo’s standard data plans and you will have the opportunity to change your plan to any data plan of 1GB/month or higher prior to the effective date of the price increase. Once the price increases become effective, your price will remain locked in at the price prior to that increase for the remainder of the then-current three-year term of this Agreement. If you later choose to change your data plan, your new plan will be at the current rates. At the end of the then-current three-year term of this Agreement, the price of your data plan will be adjusted to the then-current prices for that data plan.

4. Fees and Payment Terms

4.1 Subscription Fees.

(a) The SmartShield™ subscription fee for each three-year term of this Agreement (“Fees”) are set forth in the Order Form and are payable in three equal annual installments. Each installment of the Fees will be billed prior to the start of each Contract Year and is due on the date set forth on the invoice.

(b) Gogo may also require automatic payments using your credit card or eCheck. By enabling automatic payments, you authorize Gogo to debit your credit card or bank account for all charges incurred by you under this Agreement. If at any time your credit card or bank account becomes invalid, then Gogo shall have no obligation to provide the SmartShield™ program services and may cease providing them immediately, without prior notice.

(c) If you have authorized payment by credit card, no additional notice or consent will be required for Fees charged to that credit card. Time is of the essence for payment, and YOU AGREE TO PAY US A LATE FEE OF 1.5% PER MONTH ON ANY UNDISPUTED AMOUNT NOT PAID BY THE DUE DATE shown on the invoice, or the maximum interest rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked with “paid in full” or similar words) will not waive our rights. We will charge an additional fee of $25 for any check returned unpaid. Gogo reserves the right, at its sole discretion, during the term of this Agreement to review your monthly usage and payment history and to require, as a condition of continuing to provide Services, a credit card, eCheck, deposit, pre-payment, or other means of securing payment. You must report any billing discrepancies within 60 days of our invoice date. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BILLING ERRORS OR FEES FOR UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITY WHICH HAS NOT BEEN SPECIFICALLY CALLED TO OUR ATTENTION WITHIN THIS 60-DAY PERIOD. You agree to promptly inform us of any disputed amounts upon receipt of an invoice containing such disputed amounts, and the parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to reconcile such disputes prior to the next billing cycle. In the interest of being environmentally conscious you are encouraged to take advantage of Gogo’s paperless billing options. Additionally, Gogo reserves the right to charge a nominal fee for preparation and mailing of paper invoices ($15 per month per invoice).

(d) You will be responsible for all applicable taxes and government-imposed surcharges. Tax-exempt status must be documented and presented to us prior to the use of any Service for which adjustment of taxes and surcharges is requested. If tax-exempt status is claimed, provide Gogo with your tax-exempt number, Federal TIN and 499 Filer ID. By submitting this information and executing the SSA, customer certifies under penalty of perjury that they are entitled to tax-exempt status. Regardless of tax status, the Federal Universal Support Fund tax will apply to all U.S. customers. If Services are resold to a U.S. owner/operator by a Gogo authorized reseller, the reseller is responsible for collection and payment of the Federal Universal Support Fund tax. In all other cases Gogo will pass the USF tax to the U.S. based owner/operator or designated billing agent. Gogo assesses Regulatory Cost Recovery Surcharge (RCRS) monthly to defray costs of various regulatory programs. RCRS is not a tax and is not an amount Gogo is required to collect by law. RCRS and the components used to calculate it may change from time to time.

No portion of any subscription fees paid under the SSA will be refunded but any such amounts attributable to future periods will be applied to these termination charges.
