2.3 HIPPOCKETWIFI ENGAGEMENTS HippocketWifi shall use reasonable endeavours to provide Customer with the Services and to ensure the security of Customer’s communications at all times. However, due to the nature of mobile technology, it is impossible to provide an uninterrupted, fault-free service. HippocketWifi shall in particular not be liable, or otherwise legally responsible, where access to the Network is interrupted or limited due to a suspension (provided that this is temporary only); or downtimes of public telecommunication or power facilities; or special local conditions (e.g. use in trains or underground). HippocketWifi’s Network Partner may suspend Services: (i) in order to carry out maintenance or testing of the Network; (ii) during any technical failure of the Network, (iii) when it is necessary to safeguard the security and integrity of the Network or to reduce the incidence of fraud; (iv) where it identifies Artificially Inflated Traffic; or (iv) due to Emergency Planning Measures. HippocketWifi shall endeavour to keep all such suspensions to a minimum and shall give Customer notice of such suspensions where reasonably practicable.
2.4 CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENTS Customer shall not: a) use any Equipment or Services for any purpose that is abusive, illegal or fraudulent; or b) do anything that causes the Network to be impaired or damaged. 3.4. Customer agrees to the rental terms as stated in the Agreement. Except as otherwise provided therein, the following shall apply: Equipment will be delivered in accordance with Sec.4. Upon delivery, the Customer shall promptly inspect and test the Equipment. The Customer shall promptly notify HippocketWifi of any non-conformities detected upon such inspection or during later use. Unless Customer is a Consumer, it shall, in the absence of such notice, be deemed to have approved of such non-conformities. The Customer shall at its own cost: a) assume all responsibilities as the possessor and user of the Equipment; b) hold HippocketWifi harmless of (a) any public or private cost, fees, levies and/or taxes, arising from holding and/or using the Equipment, and (b) any claims asserted by third parties, including public authorities, in connection with its use, operation or holding of the Equipment, except to the extent that such claims are Imputable to HippocketWifi; c) maintain the Equipment free of any security interest, encumbrance, or any other third party interference, d) reasonably protect the Equipment against the risk of destruction, damage, and/or loss through fire, theft, burglary, electricity and/or water; e) maintain the technical environment for operation of the Equipment in accordance with the accompanying documentation; f) maintain the Equipment in an orderly and functional state, and arrange for repair of any damage to the Equipment which is Imputable to the Customer. Risks with respect to regular wear and tear, and/or damage or loss caused by Force Majeure or acts of third parties which are not Imputable to the Customer, will be borne by HippocketWifi, and HippocketWifi will promptly repair any such damage which materially impairs the function of the Equipment and/or replace Equipment lost due to such circumstances. 3.5. Upon termination of the Agreement, the Customer shall promptly, at its own cost and risk, return the Equipment to a delivery address within France specified by HippocketWifi. Prior to return of the Equipment, the Customer shall at its own cost, restore the original technical state of the Equipment and repair damage which is Imputable to the Customer. If Customer fails to do so, HippocketWifi may, at HippocketWifi’s option itself repair such damage and invoice the cost to the Customer. The foregoing claim shall expire unless HippocketWifi notifies the Customer of the claim in writing within four (4) weeks from return of the Equipment. 3.6. Where Customer is in breach of its obligations under this Sec. 3, HippocketWifi shall be entitled to suspend the Customer’s use of the Services. Before exercising this right, HippocketWifi shall notify the Customer of its intention to do so where this is reasonably practicable, allowing an opportunity to remedy the alleged breach (where it is capable of remedy); otherwise HippocketWifi shall notify Customer as soon as reasonably practicable after the suspension. During any period of suspension, Customer shall continue to pay all Charges due under this Agreement in respect of the suspended Services.

START, DURATION AND TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT The service contract between HippocketWifi and the customer takes place with the order at HippocketWifi website https://www.hippocketwifi.com and with the following assumptions by HippocketWifi: our mobile hotspots may be rented by the customer for a specified number of days and requires the customer to pay a daily rental fee from the date of the rental start, to the date of return. The contract ends as soon as the customer returns the rented mobile hotspot after the end of the rental period. The customer is strictly forbidden to make changes to the device or to change or remove any part of the device related to the ownership of the device by HippocketWifi.

For this purpose, HippocketWifi will ask for authority from the card issuing company for an amount equivalent to the Replacement Fee. In the events described in Sec. 4.2, HippocketWifi may use the credit card information to charge the Customer for the Equipment’s use, replacement or repair. e) The Customer shall not be entitled to set off any of its claims against claims of HippocketWifi, except where the Customer’s claims are undisputed or have been confirmed by final court judgment. Unless the Customer is a Consumer, the foregoing shall also apply to any right of retention under civil or commercial law, and in particular to any deductions from recurrent payments to HippocketWifi based on alleged non-conformities of Equipment or Services.

For any complaints regarding the late fees the customer must provide the confirmation of the return of equipment to HippocketWifi to ensure that the equipment was sent back as the customer claims.

5. DELIVERY The customer is responsible for checking that the delivery mode he chose is compatible with the date of order and the first day of rental. It is the customer responsibility to make sure that the mobile hotspot’s delivery will be accepted. If the delivery address entered by the customer during the booking phase is not his own address, it is the customer’s responsibility to warn the hotel (or office, third party…) so that they accept the delivery on his behalf. Mobile hotspots lost because of a wrong and/or incomplete address provided by the customer will be charged to the customer following the amounts defined in paragraph 4.2 (Charges for loss and damage). The shipping costs include the delivery to the designated address. The shipping costs are calculated individually and are shown separately during the online-registration and order process.

It should be postmarked no later than one business day following the specified rental end date. The HippocketWifi equipment shall be returned in working order and good physical condition. The customer assumes all risk of loss and damage from the return of all equipment to our designated address. If the customer leaves France without posting the device, it is his responsibility to ship it as soon as possible. It is then his responsibility to pay for the international return shipping charges. Device should be shipped to: HippoDev SARL 152 cours Albert Thomas 69008 Lyon – France For any complaints related to the HippocketWifi return policies the customer must be able to proof the shipment.

7. RESERVATION OF TITLE AND USAGE The HippocketWifi mobile hotspot device shall always remain the property of HippocketWifi. Any notes on the devices may not be changed or removed or be disguised. The customer is only entitled to use the device for purpose stated in this contract. Any use of the HippocketWifi mobile hotspot contrary to the purposes described herein is prohibited. It’s strictly forbidden to customer to remove or change any parts of the device. The device could not be used with any other SIM card than the provided one. On the consignment of the mobile hotspot an instruction sheet is allocated to the customer. The customer must use the device carefully. The customer must pay for damages on the devices.

8.2 DAILY QUOTA AND REDUCED SPEED Our daily quotas are pooled, and can be used whenever the client wishes during his rental period.

If the customer uses more than his quota, the speed could be drastically reduced and Customer may have very limited access to the Service.
