By subscribing to our plans, you are agreeing to become a Member of the Rural Canada Wireless (or “RCW”) community. You (“you” or “Member”) are being provided an Internet access service (“Service”) through the RCW community.
-
We are not involved in the creation or the provisioning of the Service. The Provider provides the Service over its wireless network, using cell sites and frequencies licensed by the IC. The Service is not available in all locations and will only be able within the operating range of the Provider’s network, which may change from time in the sole discretion of the Provider and RCW.
-
The Service may be disrupted or unavailable from time to time due to maintenance, emergencies, inclement weather or other factors outside of our control, or any of our partner’s control, including, but not limited to: natural disasters, network management policies, frequency mismatch, and geopolitical events. The Service and the related equipment needed to use the Service (“Equipment”) may not function in the event of a power failure or disruption, and you may be required to reset or reconfigure your modem or other hardware in order to use the Service thereafter. We assume no liability with regard to any failure or lack of performance of the Service.
-
Use of the Service is subject to the Provider’s then-current acceptable use policy (the “Provider AUP”) and incorporated herein by reference; and end user terms and conditions (the “Provider T&C”). The Provider reserves the right to change its AUP or T&C at any time.
Device Attachment Rules
The equipment used to access Service must be the original equipment provided by us to be used during the duration of Membership. The device does not need to be returned upon the end of Membership. Membership constitutes ownership of membership and not ownership of any provided equipment (device) or carrier account and/or Service that the provided line is on.

Upon becoming a member, you are responsible for paying the first month of Service prior to receiving the equipment. Membership will renew one month after membership start-date, where membership dues will automatically be charged to the credit card on file. Credit card and membership Renewal Date may be changed at member’s request. None of our memberships include a contract and may be cancelled at any time.
