h. FAIR USAGE POLICY –

If Subscriber subscribes to a Subscription Plan that does not impose limits on the amount of data that may be downloaded or uploaded during a month, such “unlimited” plans are nevertheless subject to the Fair Usage Policy. The term “unlimited” means that wi-tribe will not place a limit on how much data Subscriber uploads or downloads during a month or other particular period.

c. Termination, whether by Subscriber or by wi-tribe during the Minimum Subscription Period, shall make Subscriber liable for the Pre-termination Fee.
