2. BSS shall be exclusively entitled to the data referred to in Article 5(1) and may process the data for the purposes of detecting and combating fraud, to check adherence to the acceptable use policy referred to in Article 6.9 and to derive general information from the Customer’s or End-User’s traffic figures for various (commercial or non-commercial) purposes and may also forward the data to third parties – provided such data does not trace or can not be linked to a customer of Customer or to an End-User, and if so, is anonymised, whether or not located outside the territory of the European Union, whether or not for reasons of executing the obligations under these Terms and Conditions and for arranging invoices and reporting according to these Terms and Conditions, all subject to the applicable mandatory statutory restrictions.

   personal or traffic data under this Article 5(2).

6. Suspension of Services and Use of Content

Suspension of Services

1. BSS shall have the right to suspend the relevant Service wholly or in part if: (i) the Customer fails to meet any obligation towards BSS under these Terms and Conditions, (ii) BSS notifies the Customer of such failure and (iii) Customer does not remedy such failure within a reasonable amount of time, with a maximum of 14 days, given the nature of such failure. The Service will be resumed when the Customer resumes its obligations to BSS.
   
   
2. BSS shall have the right to suspend a Service in full or in part for the purpose of routine maintenance, provided that such maintenance does not materially disrupt the Services.

   Services and locations that may be impacted.
   
   
3. BSS is also authorised to suspend the services wholly or in part based on provisions elsewhere in these General Terms and Conditions and in the law. BSS is entitled to suspend the services wholly or in part:
   
   • if the Customer repeatedly acts in such a way that this behaviour can be seen as harassment, stalking, threat or obscene towards third parties. However BSS will not do this before it has requested the Customer, on the basis of an investigation into the matter, to cease such behaviour and refrain from it in the future and the Customer has not complied with this request; or:
   
   • if BSS receives a formal request to that effect from the authorities.
   
   
4. The obligation to pay charges shall continue to exist throughout the period of suspension of services in accordance with the preceding paragraphs. The suspension will be lifted if the Customer has fulfilled all his obligations within a period specified by BSS. Reconnection costs may be charged for lifting the suspension.
   
   Use of Content
   
   
5. The Customer will duly notify End-Users that they are not allowed to use the Services to perform illegal activities or use the Services in any manner that constitutes a criminal offence or an unlawful act in relation to BSS or third parties, including but not limited to, a possible breach of any intellectual property rights held by a third party. Customer will also duly inform End-Users that they may not send unsolicited messages to other users of a Network.
   
   
6. The Customer shall indemnify BSS and hold BSS harmless from all claims and damages, arising out of a third party claim as a result of the content, publication or use of the Services by End–Users constituting a criminal offence or an unlawful act in relation to BSS or third parties.
   
   
7. The volume or rate of messages could be restricted and delay or refusal to forward messages promptly will be part of the Services due to the nature of the service or the technology used, or in order to reasonably prevent the transmission of large volumes of unsolicited messages.
   
   
8. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the use of content or information services and the possibility to send messages may be blocked, temporarily or otherwise, due to measures taken by mobile network operators in order to prevent the (further) dissemination of information that constitutes a criminal offence or may be unlawful in relation to third parties.
   
   
9. The Customer shall adhere to the acceptable use policy as prescribed by BSS’s supplier of the Services and as set forth in Annex 4.

7. SIM Cards

1. The risk of loss, theft, damage, usage, misuse and abuse of SIM cards is transferred from BSS to the Customer at the moment of shipment to the Customer's premises or when shipped to a destination decided by the Customer.
2. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the ownership of the SIM card shall either be with BSS or the relevant mobile network operator regarding the Network the SIM card is connected to.
   
   
3. The Customer shall properly protect the SIM card against unauthorised use, theft or damage. The SIM card security codes must not be disclosed to unauthorised third parties and may not be kept on or in the immediate vicinity of the SIM card. The Customer shall obey any reasonable instructions coming from BSS or its suppliers, related to the use of a SIM card, in case of alleged fraud, possible misuse etc.
   
   
4. BSS shall have the right to exchange a SIM card issued to the Customer for a new SIM card if the technical components of SIM cards are modified, or if the technical components of a particular SIM card become outdated. BSS also has the right to modify, remotely or by another method, the technical components or settings of a SIM card issued to the Customer.
   
   
5. When the Agreement is partly terminated with respect to a Connection and ownership of the SIM Card has not yet transferred to the Customer, the SIM Card related to this Connection must be returned to BSS or destroyed by or on behalf of the Customer as indicated by BSS per Territory.
   
   
6. BSS does not warrant that the SIM Cards will be uninterrupted or error free nor does it make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the SIM Cards. Except for the foregoing, the SIM Cards are provided “as is” and BSS disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
   
   
7. Ordering SIM cards has to be done via (written) purchase Order. Delivery time of a SIM card can take up to 4 (four) weeks for SIM cards with an existing profile. In case the Customer wants to receive existing SIM Cards within 4 (four) weeks, the Customer has to provide a timely forecast to BSS. Based on the forecast the SIM Cards will be made available based on a best effort obligation. When the Customer does not order the number of SIM cards mentioned in the forecast for reasons attributable to Customer, Customer shall reimburse BSS for the remaining number of SIM Cards. SIM cards with a new profile have a longer delivery time. The delivery time of SIM cards with a new profile will be discussed between Customer and BSS.
   
   
8. If during the production process the SIM card cannot be activated as a result of Dead On Arrival (DOA), BSS will replace the SIM card free of charge. BSS must be notified within one month after the DOA has been detected. If the SIM card malfunctions after the production process, BSS can replace the SIM card for a fee issuing the new SIM card.
   
   
9. In case a SIM card is continuously active on a third party mobile network, and if such behaviour is not acceptable to the associated network operator and/or local regulator, BSS shall inform Customer of this fact. If the problem cannot be remedied by BSS within a reasonable period of time, the price plan will no longer apply and a solution will be found on
   a country by country and case by case basis. Parties acknowledge that BSS cannot bear the risk of this disconnection. For the avoidance of any doubt, a continuous roaming SIM card means a SIM card that roams, or is active on the same third party mobile network, all the time that the mobile device is active.

8. Customer Hardware

1. The Customer shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any Customer Hardware and any other equipment and ancillary services needed to connect to, access or otherwise use the Services.
   
   
2. The Customer shall insure that the Customer Hardware shall meet the applicable legal requirements. The consequences, including possible financial consequences, of using devices that do not meet these requirements are at the expense and risk of the Customer. Customer Hardware can have different functionalities, which can have implications for the use of options of Services. BSS may decide that specific Customer Hardware may only be used in combination with a specific Service Concept.
   
   
3. The Customer shall also be responsible for maintaining the security of the Customer Hardware, Customer account, passwords (including but not limited to administrative and user passwords) and files, and the Customer shall be fully responsible for all uses of Services (and all associated Charges), with or without Customer’s knowledge or consent and whether or not authorised by Customer.
   
   
4. All Hardware to be used with a SIM card must be certified. BSS requires that the modem in the device is GCF certified, and will inform the Customer about further requirements regarding the device software implementation. The Customer is responsible for the certification. Uncertified hardware cannot and will not be accepted on the BSS Network. If the Hardware is not certified within 6 (six) months, Customer will pay a fee to BSS because of the relevant costs parties made and the loss in revenues of BSS. The fee will be discussed when the certification is not done within the mentioned time frame.
   
   
5. If a Connection has been terminated, Customer is responsible for the subsequent behaviour of the hardware in relation to possible traffic or (mobile)usage. If the hardware continuously attempts to reconnect to the Network, BSS shall inform Customer of this. Customer shall remedy this situation within one calendar month of the notification. Should Customer fail to remedy the situation, then BSS will be entitled to charge Customer the monthly bundle fee applicable to the connection which has been terminated. This fee will be increased with 10% per subsequent month until the situation is remedied by Customer.

9. Charges

1. The current charges and tariffs for the Services and the conditions under which these charges and tariffs are provided related to the Territory, are set out in Client Account Agreement. The applicable prices for the ordering of SIM Cards are also set out in Client Account Agreement.
   
   
2. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Customer will pay all charges in connection with the shipment of SIM Cards, including without limitation transportation charges, insurance premiums, duties, costs of compliance with export and import controls and regulations, and other governmental assessments.
   
   
3. BSS is entitled to amend the prices, charges and tariffs included in Client Account Agreement. Amendments will come into effect two weeks after the date the announcement is sent or at a later date specified in the announcement, unless in the Territory a different statutory term is required, which will be followed in that case. If the Customer refuses to accept an amendment, resulting in an increase to the charges and/or tariffs that apply to a Service it has ordered or purchased, it may terminate the Order for that Service in writing as of the date on which the new charges or tariffs take effect. The right to terminate does not apply with regard to amendments of any applicable roaming charges. The notice of termination has to be sent by the Customer by registered mail and must be received by BSS before the date on which the amendment takes effect.
   
   
4. The Customer shall be responsible for all use made of a Connection provided under an Order, provided however that the Customer will not be responsible for the use of a Connection if: (i) the Customer had previously requested the Connection to be terminated as from the applicable termination date, or (ii) as from the applicable moment detailed in the relevant Annex for the Territory or (iii) when the Customer requested the blocking of a SIM card in accordance with the procedures set out in the relevant Annex. Otherwise, all usage charges and other charges payable for the use of the Connection are for the account of the Customer
   
   
5. The Customer has been made fully aware by BSS of the applicable EU regulation concerning Roaming charges. Parties agree that in specific deviation of these regulations, Customer shall not receive:
   
   • a SMS notification when the specific SIM-card has reached 80% of €50 monthly data costs;
   • a SMS notification of the applicable roaming tariffs when crossing borders within the EU and/or outside the EU.
   
   
6. Rate plan changes during the month will go into effect at the start of the new billing month and Rate plan activations are charged on a full month basis.

10. Payment and Billing

1. The purchase of SIM cards will be invoiced upon shipment to the Customer. For all other Services, BSS will send an invoice to the Customer containing the amounts payable by the Customer under an Order that have fallen due in the preceding calendar month(s). Each invoice will specify, in reasonable detail, a description of each charge or category of charges.
   
   
2. The fees stated in the invoice will be paid by the Customer in full within seven (7) days of the invoice date, by crediting a bank account in the name of and designated by BSS.
   
   
3. If payment has not been made before or on the due date, BSS may charge the statutory interest on all outstanding amounts plus an additional annual rate of 5 % above base rate.
   
   
4. As long as payments have not been made by the Customer within seven (7) calendar days calculated as from the due date with respect to one or more Order(s), BSS is entitled to refuse any new Order placed by the Customer and BSS is entitled to suspend providing services to the Customer in accordance with article 6, Suspension of Services or dissolve the contract. BSS will send one written reminder and can disconnect Customer, without additional notification from the Service if Customer fails to pay the invoices or does not pay the undisputed part of the invoices.
   
   
5. Where applicable BSS shall provide the Customer with localised currency billing. If Customer is located in a territory other than the agreed currency territory or pays from a bank account outside such territory, Customer shall bear all bank-charges. No bank-charges can be deducted from the payment by one of the banks. BSS is entitled to receive the full amounts due.
   
   The Customer shall ensure cleared payment reaches BSS bank account on or before the agreed payment date. The Customer may pay by bank direct debit or standing order/transfer (as agreed). If the customer has provided BSS with a direct debit authorisation, BSS is entitled to use it from the date of the invoice. BSS may specify additional requirements or limitations for the payment methods, whereby BSS is entitled to charge additional costs for payment methods other than direct debit.
   
   Objections / Disputes
   
   
6. Customer may, in good faith, dispute any invoiced amount. Objections to the invoice should be submitted within a fatal term of seven (7) days of the invoice date, in absence thereof the invoice is deemed to be accepted by Customer. The submission of objections may not lead to a deferral of payment for that part of an invoice to which no objections are submitted.
   
   Guarantee of Payment
   
   
7. If required by BSS, the Customer shall execute for the benefit of BSS an irrevocable and unconditional bank guarantee, which can be called on first demand by BSS for the full amount in the event of any breach of the Agreement by the Customer.
   
   
8. The amount of the bank guarantee must at any moment at least be equal to the amounts invoiced by BSS to the Customer during the last three consecutive months that have been invoiced. For the first three months after the Effective Date, BSS shall give a reasonable indication for the required amount of the bank guarantee. If the amount of the bank guarantee no longer covers the equivalent of the invoiced amount for those three consecutive months, the Customer shall increase, upon first request of BSS and within the timeframe as indicated by BSS, the bank guarantee up to an amount covering the equivalent amount.

11. Use of Intellectual Property

1. The Parties agree that they are not entitled to use each other’s Trademarks, except and insofar as this is explicitly permitted and previously agreed in writing with regard to the Services described therein.
