The conditions which apply to the BEAMplus product:

Part I contains the terms and conditions for the BEAMplus product.

Part II contains the service level offered for the BEAMplus product and additional information.

BEAMplus subscription fee

We are under no obligation to refund the subscription fees in any circumstance.  BEAMplus is a subscription-based support agreement with a duration of less than one month, and so it is not subject to any statutory right of cancellation, and is therefore non-refundable.  The available policy schedule confirms this.

Background

The Customer is of the opinion that the Onboard Technology Group has the necessary qualifications, experience, and abilities to provide services to the Customer.

The Onboard Technology Group is agreeable to providing such services to you on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement.
