You can help us provide better service by becoming familiar with the terms and conditions described below.
THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS of YOUR RECEIPT AND PAYMENT FOR THE
PROGRAMMING SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY NPS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS, PLEASE NOTIFY NPS IMMEDIATELY AND NPS WILL CANCEL YOUR SERVICE. IF YOU RECEIVE
OUR SERVICE, IT WILL MEAN THAT YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS PRESENTED AND WILL
BE BOUND BY SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS. FOR PURPOSES HEREOF, YOU WILL BE REFERRED TO AS
THE “CUSTOMER”.
As a condition of receiving services, Customer represents & warrants that the television programming services being
provided to Customer hereunder are for private individual residential television receive-only owners in single-family
dwelling units located within the U.S. for the purpose of private noncommercial viewing solely (and for no other use or
purpose) within the individual's dwelling unit via "satellite transmission" by means of equipment owned or operated by
such individual, capable of receiving satellite television programming. NPS provides satellite services only for private,
non-commercial use, enjoyment and home viewing and such programming may not be made available to others in a
public or commercial forum, nor may you re-broadcast such programming or charge others a fee to view. If the Customer
is found to be in violation of the above representations and warranties, we reserve the right to disconnect service(s)
immediately and pursue appropriate legal remedies. NPS shall have the right to pursue all legal and equitable remedies
against Customer for violation of these Terms and Conditions or any violation by Customer of applicable laws.
Customer's decoder has been authorized to receive the services or programming which the Customer has selected or
appears on their invoice only at the address provided by Customer. Failure to notify NPS in writing of any change of
address to which service is being provided within 30 days from the date of such change, may cause cancellation of
service and/or other penalties. Service is assumed to be at the billing address shown on your notice unless a different address is indicated for service. NPS reserves the right to change, blackout, terminate or discontinue at any time and
without notice any programs or services being delivered hereunder, and/or to utilize other distribution mechanisms or
technologies. Not all programs and services are available in all locations. Certain sporting events and other programming are subject to blackouts in your reception area, which blackouts are controlled by the parties owning the rights to such programming. Programming may be subject to territory restrictions. NPS reserves the right to add, delete, or substitute services offered by NPS in any or all packages during the subscription term. Customer may change their programming selection by notifying us. A fee may apply to such changes. Some programming may be purchased in minimum blocks of one month or multiples of one month.
NPS reserves the unrestricted right to change, rearrange, add or delete our programming packages, our prices, and any
other service NPS offers, at any time. We will endeavor to notify you of any change that is within our reasonable control and its effective date. Customer may cancel their service, in whole or in part, if the Customer does not accept the changes in their service. If Customer cancels service, a cancellation fee or other charges may apply. If you do not cancel, your continued receipt of our service will constitute acceptance of the changes.
NPS reserves the right to deny access to the services it offers to Customers whose decoders have been the subject of
bad payment histories, frequent technical or reception problems or unauthorized or inappropriate use, as determined by
NPS. NPS reserves the right to share payment history and subscriber information with other third parties, and to use
Customer’s name for marketing opportunities and other purposes subject to applicable law. NPS has no liability for
hardware, reception problems or technical advice. Customers must look directly and solely to equipment retailers and/or manufacturers. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF WHATSOEVER KIND
(STATUTORY, WRITTEN, ORAL, OR OTHERWISE), ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED FROM
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. NPS makes no representations whatsoever concerning the contents of the
programming being delivered, and Customer assumes all risk and responsibility to determine the appropriateness of such
content for those viewing such content at the address the service is being provided.
Customers who elect to receive a month to month subscription shall be deemed to have ordered continuing service until
notice of cancellation is provided by Customer. Customer’s agreement with NPS shall be indefinite and service will
continue until canceled as provided herein, unless you notify us that you wish to cancel it. NPS will automatically renew service that you subscribe to on a periodic basis, including any monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual subscriptions if such programming is still offered by NPS. Customer notice is effective on the day we actually receive it. Customer will still be responsible for payment of all outstanding balances accrued through the termination date. In addition to any cancellation or change of service fees, if you terminate your service or change your service package, you may be subject to an early cancellation fee. Month to month service may be cancelled via telephone at (800) 444-3474; however cancellation of service must be confirmed in writing to the following address: National Programming Service, LLC, 7999 Knue Rd., Suite 200, Indianapolis, IN 46250.
We may cancel your service at any time if Customer fails to pay all amounts when due, subject to grace periods, or if
Customer breaches any other material provision of these Terms and Conditions. Upon termination by NPS, Customer will
still owe all outstanding balances accrued through the termination date. In addition, NPS shall have the right to terminate your service if Customer does not accept any terms modified or changed by NPS.
Charges for subscription services are billed in advance, at our rates in effect at the time, from the date of subscription and
payments are due on the due date shown on the invoice. Invoices will show: (1) purchases and any other charges to
your account (2) the amount Customer owes at such time and (3) when the payment is due. The due date refers to
current charges only, and does NOT extend the payment date for any previous billing. The full amount of any invoice is
due each month, and the failure to make full payment within any grace period may result in a disconnection of your
service. Service is subject to disconnection for past due balances. Partial payment will not prevent your services from
being disconnected if full payment is not received by payment due date. Services not disconnected prior to the start date
of any renewal will result in additional charges for the number of days the services remain active. If you think your invoice
is incorrect, or if you need more information about an item on your invoice, you may call NPS at (800) 444-3474 or you
may contact our customer service department in writing at the address indicated below. Our invoices, however, are
processed electronically and any messages you transmit with your invoice will be delayed in reaching NPS. Please,
