Service offered
Our company provides internet access rental. Wifi internet device/router is supplied with a power plug, which will enable you to access the internet. The internet data you are subscribing to is provided through one or more telecommunication service providers we source through, and this makes it possible to access the internet through the router/device. We reserve the right to assign you a device that runs on either multiple carriers/isp or single carrier/isp.
We do not guarantee the device we issue/send to you or the internet access from the device will operate uninterrupted or without any error or interruption , or that it will meet all of your needs. We can not be held responsible for the quality, speed, reliability of the device or the internet accessed through the device we supply for accessing the internet.
The device we provide/supply relies on being able to communicate with the nearest telecommunication mast (owned or managed or associated to the telecommunication network provider your assigned device communicates with) in your location, this means if you are in an area where the telecom mast is experiencing a technical fault, your internet speed would be affected or you may not have the ability to access the internet in such situation. You agree that the further away you are to the nearest telecom mast from the data supplier/telecom carrier issued/assigned to you, the slower your internet speed would be. You agree that from time to time there can be technical faults with the telecom mast service in your area which can affect your speed, and we would not be held responsible for your internet speed being slow or slower then you prefer it to be. You agree that you are hiring a device with awareness and acceptance of the possible speed or internet access disruption.

The remaining balance would then be refunded to you. You agree to perform two or more speed test as guided by the customer service team to provide an evidence of internet speed and send the screenshot to use within our customer support email thread as instructed by any of the customer service team member so that any speed issue being experienced can be investigated by the customer service team.
