(3) | Service Plan Uplift. |
For any Service Plan with a Minimum Service Duration less than twelve (12) months, there shall be the following uplift to the pricing for such Service Plans:
Minimum Service Duration | MRC Uplift |
At least one (1) months and less than twelve (12) months | +30.0% premium |
For example, if a Service Plan has a rate-card with an MRC of $6,000 with a Minimum Service Duration of Twelve (12) months, Distribution Partner may order such Service Plan for a Minimum Service Duration between one (1) and twelve (12) months by paying a 30% uplift on such MRC (which is $1,800 = .3*$6,000) for a total MRC after such uplift of $7,800.
B. | Additional Purchases. |
(1) | Automatic Overage. Details on automatically adding data increments to Volume Service Plans are contained in Section 4B.(1)i. of Exhibit 2. |
(2) | Additional Data Increment Purchases. Details on ordering the addition of data increments – in advance through an Accepted Order – to Volume Service Plans are contained in Section 4B.(1)ii. of Exhibit 2. |
(3) | Additional Specific Sub-Plan Purchases (Multi-Plan Static Volume Service Plans Only). Details on adding additional Specific Sub-Plans to a specific Multi-Plan Static Volume Service Plan through an Accepted Order are contained in Section 4B.(2) of Exhibit 2. |
C. | Option to Upgrade; and Right of Suspension. |
(1) | Option to Upgrade. Distribution Partner may Upgrade a Specific Service Plan for the remainder of the then current Order Term. |
(2) | Right of Suspension. Solely as it relates to any Specific Service Plan for the Service Plan Type of Mobile only but excluding Mobile Dynamic Service Plans, Distribution Partner may submit a Suspension Request to OneWeb in accordance with those requirements set forth in the table below: |
Suspension Order Date |

24 months | 48 hours | 6 months | 1 month | |||
36 months | 48 hours | 9 months | 1 month |
In a Suspension Request, the duration of a suspension (“Suspension Period”) may not be less than the Minimum Suspension Term (as indicated above).
8 | ||
Exhibit 1 OneWeb Distribution Partner Agreement Fixed Version 1.12 (05 October 2023) |
Additionally, (i) the aggregate duration of all Suspension Periods over an Order Term may not be more than the Maximum Suspension Allowance (as indicated above); and (ii) the applicable Order Term shall be extended by the aggregate duration of all Suspension Periods during such Order Term (i.e., if the applicable OneWeb Service is suspended twice for one (1) month each during the Order Term for an aggregate of two (2) months, the Order Term shall be extended by two (2) months).
The following is an example of Distribution Partner’s right to suspension: Mobile.B 100/20/100B is the Specific Service Plan for Mobile (not otherwise included in a Mobile Dynamic Volume Group) for a twelve (12) month Order Term starting January 1, 2023 with a Specific Service Plan MRC of $660 and a Specific Service Plan MRC of $300 during any applicable suspension. Suspension is requested by Distribution Partner from June 15, 2023 for 1 month and again for the entirety of October and November 2023 with each such request being made more than 48 hours in advance. As such, (a) for the foregoing June requested suspension, a Suspension Fee of $50 is payable upfront and the Specific Service Plan MRC of $300 (made up as $150 relating to June 16th to June 30th, and $150 relating to July 1st to July 15th) is payable due to the suspension instead of the Specific Service Plan MRC of $660 over this time period; (b) for the foregoing October requested suspension, a suspension fee of $50 is payable and the Specific Service Plan MRC of $300 is payable due to the suspension in October and November instead of the Specific Service Plan MRC of $660 over this time period; and (c) the twelve (12) month Order Term is extended by three (3) months to cover the foregoing suspended months meaning the original contract Order Term now ends March 31, 2024 instead of December 31, 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, had Distribution Partner requested to suspend the foregoing Specific Service Plan from June 5, 2023 through June 15, 2023 or June 25, 2023 through July 15, 2023, such suspension requests would have been denied as they would not have been for the minimum suspension term of a one (1) month period.
D. | OneWeb Approved Equipment Terminal Class. Each Service Plan shall only be used with the same relevant OneWeb Approved Equipment as identified by the Terminal Class column(s) in the applicable rate-card for a Service Plan and as further described in the OWAE List for the applicable Vertical Market. |
4. | Interconnect Service Charges |
Details on Interconnection Service Types are contained in Exhibit 2.
Interconnect Service | OneWeb PoP | Set Up Cost | MRC |
Cross Connect | Location Name | $x – charges will apply for non-standard Interconnect | |
Cross Connect | Location Name | $x – charges will apply for non-standard Interconnect |
Non-standard interconnect options shall be priced on a case-by-case basis.

A. | Traffic Prioritization. The OneWeb Network shall support the following three (3) classes of traffic prioritization, which can be combined in Service Plans as indicated in the table below: |
(1) | Expedited Forwarding (“EF”): dedicated bearer with highest priority delivery; |
4 | ||
Exhibit 2 OneWeb Distribution Partner Agreement Fixed Version 1.12 (05 October 2023) |
(2) | Assured Forwarding (“AF”): dedicated bearer with high priority delivery; and |
(3) | Standard Forwarding (“SF”): default bearer with default forwarding class (which is the lowest traffic prioritization level). |
Where the Service Plans provide multiple levels of priority, these are defined as additional Classes of Service (“CoS”). End Customers shall be responsible for marking traffic with the right CoS in both the forward and the reverse path. OneWeb shall preserve these CoS markings between the OneWeb Approved Equipment (Customer Edge handover point) and the Home PoP (Provider Edge handover point).
Service Plans support traffic prioritization in the following combinations:
SF | AF | EF | Details |
Yes | No | No | provides an End Customer with a single SF quality of service with no/equal traffic prioritization. |
Yes | No | Yes | provides the following two (2) levels of priority: (a) high priority connectivity of EF for e.g., Voice Over IP (VOIP) services; and (b) SF connectivity for all other data traffic. |
Yes | Yes | Yes | enables End Customers to connect remote business sites easily and cost effectively where multiple business critical applications and services require specific support; and (b) ensures committed quality of service with two (2) levels of priority traffic (AF, EF) in addition to SF connectivity for all other data traffic. |
B. | Network Slice. Each Service Plan must be assigned to a Network Slice and Network Slices may include various classes of traffic prioritization. OneWeb shall provide one or more Network Slices to create a logical grouping of Service Plans. |
(1) | Services Support: The following services shall be supported by OneWeb per Network Slice: |
● | Isolated IP addressing, such that overlapping ranges may be supported among different End Customer groups, each using their own Network Slice; |
● | Data pooling, such that allowances may be shared among End Customers on the same Network Slice; and |
● | Routing optimization, such that different Network Slices may be used to ‘home’ traffic for different End Customer groups to their preferred Home PoP. |
(2) | Constraints: The following constraints shall apply to each Network Slice: |
● | A Network Slice shall support one Interconnect Service Type at one Home PoP location; |
● | OneWeb shall allocate each Distribution Partner with a set number (to be agreed to during onboarding) of Network Slices that they can set-up and used for groups of End Customers; |
● | Distribution Partner may request additional Network Slices, to be considered by OneWeb on a per-request basis; and |
● | Distribution Partner shall be able to manage the configuration of each Network Slice, including logical identifiers (End Customer IP address range), quality of service, and routing requirements (such as choice of Interconnect Service Type). |
5 | ||
Exhibit 2 OneWeb Distribution Partner Agreement Fixed Version 1.12 (05 October 2023) |
(3) | Restrictions: Without limiting Distribution Partner’s other obligations in this Agreement, in no event shall Distribution Partner employ a Network Slice to derive an unfair pricing advantage or otherwise subvert the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including those terms and conditions in Exhibit 1) as determined by OneWeb in its sole discretion. |
C. | Interconnect Service Types. |
(1) | “Cross Connect” provides a physical private interconnect between OneWeb and Distribution Partner at one of OneWeb’s PoP locations across the globe for the primary purpose of routing exchange and traffic flow. Multiple Cross Connects can utilize an existing private interconnect between OneWeb and Distribution Partner once it has been installed. The characteristics of each Cross Connect will be agreed between OneWeb and Distribution Partner prior to installation of such Cross Connect. |
OneWeb Obligations. For each Cross Connect, OneWeb shall provide Distribution Partner with a letter of authorization to interconnect with OneWeb at the chosen OneWeb PoP(s) where appropriate. Once the interconnect is set up the chosen OneWeb PoP(s) become Home PoP(s) at which OneWeb shall hand traffic to Distribution Partner.
Distribution Partner Obligations. For each Cross Connect, Distribution Partner shall:
i. | advise OneWeb of its Autonomous System (AS) number; |
ii. | advise OneWeb of the chosen OneWeb PoP location(s) where they will complete a private interconnect with OneWeb, if Distribution Partner is not at one of the OneWeb PoPs then it needs to order circuits to meet OneWeb at these PoPs; |
iii. | issue the necessary letter of authorizations for the private interconnect physical demarcation points at the OneWeb PoP(s) with OneWeb; |
iv. | agree the physical specifications for the interconnect handoff inside PoP colocation facilities; |
v. | agree to the parameters necessary to establish the Border Gateway Protocol peering session with OneWeb including IPv4/IPv6 addressing and route advertisements; |
vi. | ensure the IP Packets passed across the OneWeb Network are marked with the applicable Differentiated Services Code Point (“DSCP”) markings; |
vii. | ensure the IP Packets passed through the OneWeb Approved Equipment to the OneWeb Network are marked with the applicable DSCP markings; |
viii. | ensure all Private IP Address blocks Distribution Partner intends to allocate have been agreed to with OneWeb; |
ix. | if Distribution Partner requires Public IP Addresses, bring the Public IP Address blocks for allocation to the OneWeb Approved Equipment; |
x. | provide the Domain Name Server and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Services for the OneWeb Approved Equipment; and |
xi. | for Private IP Address, be responsible for Network Address Translations in its domain. |
4. | ONEWEB SERVICE PLANS |
A. | OneWeb offers the following two (2) Service Plans: |
● | Unlimited Service Plans; |
and
6 | ||
Exhibit 2 OneWeb Distribution Partner Agreement Fixed Version 1.12 (05 October 2023) |
● | Volume Service Plans consisting of the following: |
o | Individual Volume Service Plans; |
o | Dynamic Volume Service Plans; and/or | |
o | Multi-Plan Static Volume Service Plans. |
Each of the foregoing Service Plans shall fall into one of the Service Plan Types of either Fixed or Mobile.
Example Service Plans:
Volume Allowance per Specific Service Plan |
Specific Sub- Plans sharing a Volume Allowance |
Specific Service Plans sharing a Volume Allowance |
Total Volume Allowance shared | |
Unlimited Service Plans | ||||
Unlimited Service Plan | N/A | N/A | 1 | N/A |
Volume Service Plans | ||||
Individual Volume Service Plan | e.g., 500GB | N/A | 1 | N/A |
Dynamic Volume Service Plan | e.g., 100GB | N/A | e.g., 20 (max 25), which collectively form the Dynamic Volume Group | 100GB * 20 = 2,000GB |
Multi-Plan Static Volume Service Plan | e.g., 1,000GB | e.g., minimum 5, maximum 15, each of which is a Specific Sub- Plan | n/a | 1,000GB |
B. | Volume Service Plan Specific Provisions. |
(1) | Overages and Additional Data Increment Purchases. If the maximum allowed Volume Allowance on any Volume Service Plan is reached before the end of the applicable billing cycle, OneWeb provides the following options to Distribution Partner to ensure continuation of the applicable OneWeb Services: |
i. | Automatic Agreed To Addition: Data increments are automatically added to the Volume Service Plan when the maximum allowed Volume Allowance (including any Volume Allowance generated by an Additional Data Increment Purchase, as set out below) has been reached at the size and cost of such data increments provided for in an applicable rate-card for a given Volume Service Plan in Exhibit 1. In the foregoing scenario, all Service Levels for the applicable Volume Service Plan cease to apply once the Volume Allowance has been exceeded. |
● | For example, assuming a Land Fixed Single Service Plan of “Broadband 100/20/100B” is selected with a Volume Allowance of 100GB and an Overage Charge of $25/10GB. If the data usage during the month is 104.1GB, the Overage Charge will be calculated as though the usage during the month was 110GB since the overage increment for such plan is 10GB, which results in an Overage Charge of $25. |
or
7 | ||
Exhibit 2 OneWeb Distribution Partner Agreement Fixed Version 1.12 (05 October 2023) |
ii. | Additional Data Increment Purchases (Accepted Orders Required): Data increments may be ordered in advance by Distribution Partner – at any time within a billing cycle – and added to the Volume Service Plan only after an Accepted Order is processed by OneWeb at the size and cost of such data increments provided for in an applicable rate-card for a given Volume Service Plan in Exhibit 1 and for a single calendar month as provided in such Accepted Order. For the avoidance of doubt, such calendar month may be the then current month or any future month during an Order Term. In the foregoing scenario, all Service Levels for the applicable Volume Service Plan continue to apply until such time as the use of the additional data increment purchase has been exhausted without the same being replenished through another Accepted Order. |
For the avoidance of doubt, any additional data increment purchases may be shared across (a) Specific Service Plans in a Dynamic Volume Group; and (b) Specific Sub-Plans in a Multi- Plan Static Volume Service Plan.
● | For example, Distribution Partner has ten (10) Specific Service Plans each with an individual Volume Allowance of 100GB. These Specific Service Plans have been included in a Dynamic Volume Group (as they otherwise meet all applicable requirements within this definition) and, as such, all such Specific Service Plans can share the total aggregate monthly allowance of 1,000GB. For one of these Specific Service Plans, Distribution Partner purchases an additional data increment of 50GB for the current calendar month. All 10 Specific Service Plans in the Dynamic Volume Group can now share the total aggregate monthly allowance of 1,050GB (1,000GB + 50GB) for the remainder of the month. |
● | Another example, Distribution Partner has five (5) Specific Sub-Plans all in a Land Fixed Multi-Plan Static Volume Service Plan with a Volume Allowance of 100GB. For one of these Specific Sub-Plans, Distribution Partner purchases an additional data increment of 100GB for the current calendar month. The Volume Allowance shall increase to 200GB in the Multi-Plan Static Volume Service Plan for all five (5) Specific Sub-Plans to share for the remainder of the month. |
If additional data increments are needed but not ordered by Distribution Partner, and further discussed in Section 4B.(1)i. of this Exhibit 2, OneWeb shall continue the applicable OneWeb Services and Distribution Partner shall be charged – and is responsible – until the end of the applicable billing cycle for every additional data increment used at the size and cost of such data increments provided for in an applicable rate-card for a given Volume Service Plan in Exhibit 1.
(2) | Additional Specific Sub-Plan Purchases (Multi-Plan Static Volume Service Plans Only). If the maximum allowed Specific Sub-Plans on a specific Multi-Plan Static Volume Service Plan is reached, Distribution Partner may place an order for additional Specific Sub-Plans to be added to such specific Multi-Plan Static Volume Service Plan for the remainder of the Order Term and the same shall be added only after an Accepted Order is processed by OneWeb for the cost of such additional Specific Sub-Plans provided for in an applicable rate-card for such specific Multi-Plan Static Volume Service Plan in Exhibit 1; provided that such Specific Sub-Plans on a specific Multi- Plan Static Volume Service Plan shall not exceed two hundred forty (240) Specific Sub-Plans in the aggregate. |
8 | ||
Exhibit 2 OneWeb Distribution Partner Agreement Fixed Version 1.12 (05 October 2023) |
(3) | Measurement under Volume Service Plans. The following applies for all Volume Service Plans: |
i. | Monthly data usage resets to zero at the end of a billing cycle; |
ii. | Any unused data from the maximum allowed Volume Allowance or added data increments purchased under Section 4B.(1) of this Exhibit 2 do not carry over to the next billing cycle and thereafter, such unused data / added data increments expire and are no longer usable; and |
iii. | The minimum data measurement increment is always rounded up to the nearest GB. |
5. | SERVICE LEVELS |
This Section outlines the Service Levels that OneWeb provides for the OneWeb Services purchased through Distribution Partner as further described in Exhibit 1. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, OneWeb’s deviation from the Services Levels (and/or other service issues or incidents) shall not constitute a breach or default of this Agreement, and Distribution Partner’s sole and exclusive remedy, if any, for such deviation shall be limited to those Service SLA Credits (up to the Service SLA Total Credit Cap) and termination rights for Chronic Performance Problems expressly provided for in this Section below.
A. | Service SLA and Service SLA Credits. |
(1) | CIR Service SLA and CIR Service SLA Credits: |
i. | Where CIR is defined for a given Service Plan in Exhibit 1, OneWeb commits to provide the minimum CIR per CoS as further described below in this Section (“CIR Service SLA”). |
● | CIR Service SLA Interval Measurement for each CoS: |
o | SF traffic is measured in one (1) hour intervals across a calendar month from the OneWeb service management boundary at the Specific Site where the OneWeb Services are delivered and OneWeb commits to serve the CIR component after EF and AF traffic is served in 95% of the total SF intervals per month. |
o | AF traffic is measured in five (5) minute intervals across a calendar month from the OneWeb service management boundary at the Specific Site where the OneWeb Services are delivered and OneWeb shall serve the CIR component in 95% of the total AF intervals per month. |
o | EF traffic is measured in five (5) minute intervals across a calendar month from the OneWeb service management boundary at the Specific Site where the OneWeb Services are delivered and OneWeb shall serve the CIR component in 95% of the total EF traffic intervals per month. |
● | CIR Service SLA Credit: OneWeb will provide those service credits on the CIR Service SLA as follows (the “CIR Service SLA Credit”): 1% credit on the Specific Service Plan MRC for each 1% degradation when totaling all interval measurements across all applicable CoS intervals, per Specific Service Plan and the CIR Service SLA was not met pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit 2 with any such CIR Service SLA Credit rounded down to the nearest integer; provided that (i) the maximum CIR Service SLA Credit shall not exceed the CIR Service SLA Credit Cap; and (ii) the CIR Service SLA Credit shall only apply to the affected and active OneWeb Approved Equipment that is transmitting and/or receiving mobility or fixed service-related data communications through the OneWeb Network at the time of the CIR Service SLA deviation. |
9 | ||
Exhibit 2 OneWeb Distribution Partner Agreement Fixed Version 1.12 (05 October 2023) |
● | Examples of CIR Service SLA Credit Calculations: The following are illustrative examples of the CIR Service SLA Credit for each traffic prioritization type with a monthly CIR Service SLA Credit Cap of 10% per month of the applicable Specific Service Plan MRC: |
(a) | Service Plan (SF only traffic) Example 1: The following shows an example for a Specific Service Plan with an MIR of 100Mbps and a CIR for SF traffic of 20Mbps that does not meet the required CIR Service SLA and requires a CIR Service SLA Credit: |
SF | ||||
MIR | CIR | Total 1 Hour Intervals in the Calendar Month Window |
Intervals necessary for OneWeb to achieve the CIR |
Actual Intervals OneWeb achieved the CIR |
100Mbps | 20Mbps | 720 | 95% * 720 = 684 | 660 |
In the above chart, OneWeb failed to meet the CIR Service SLA in 3% (i.e., (684-660) / 684 = 3.508% rounded down) of the total intervals. As such, and in this example, the CIR Service SLA Credits = Specific Service Plan MRC * 3%.
(b) | Service Plan (both SF and EF traffic) Example 2: The following shows an example for a Specific Service Plan with an MIR of 60Mbps, a total CIR of 12Mbps and a CIR for EF traffic of 6Mbps that meets the required CIR Service SLA and, as such, does not require a CIR Service SLA Credit: |
SF | ||||
MIR | CIR | Total 1 Hour Intervals in the Calendar Month Window |
Intervals necessary for OneWeb to achieve the CIR |
Actual Intervals OneWeb achieved the CIR |
60Mbps | 12Mbps (less EF use) | 720 | 95% * 720 = 684 | 650 |
EF | ||||
MIR | CIR | Total 5 Minute Intervals in the Calendar Month Window |
Intervals necessary for OneWeb to achieve the CIR |
Actual Intervals OneWeb achieved the CIR |
60Mbps | 6Mbps | 8,640 | 95% * 8,640 = 8,208 | 8,400 |
Total Intervals: | 9,360 | 8,892 | 9,050 |
In the above charts, OneWeb met the CIR Service SLA and there is no CIR Service SLA Credit.
10 | ||
Exhibit 2 OneWeb Distribution Partner Agreement Fixed Version 1.12 (05 October 2023) |
(c) | Service Plan (all of SF, AF and EF traffic) Example 3: The following shows an example for a Specific Service Plan with an MIR of 120Mbps, a total CIR of 36Mbps, a CIR for AF traffic of 12Mbps, and a CIR for EF traffic of 4Mbps that does not meet the required CIR Service SLA and requires a CIR Service SLA Credit (and where the CIR Service SLA Credit Cap is exceeded): |
SF | ||||
MIR | CIR | Total 1 Hour Intervals in the Calendar Month Window |
Intervals necessary for OneWeb to achieve the CIR |
Actual Intervals OneWeb achieved the CIR |
120Mbps | 36Mbps (less AF and EF use) | 720 | 95% * 720 = 684 | 600 |
AF | ||||
MIR | CIR | Total 5 Minute Intervals in the Calendar Month Window |
Intervals necessary for OneWeb to achieve the CIR |
Actual Intervals OneWeb achieved the CIR |
120Mbps | 12Mbps | 8,640 | 95% * 8,640 = 8,208 | 6,420 |
EF | ||||
MIR | CIR | Total 5 Minute Intervals in the Calendar Month Window |
Intervals necessary for OneWeb to achieve the CIR |
Actual Intervals OneWeb achieved the CIR |
120Mbps | 4Mbps | 8,640 | 95% * 8,640 = 8,208 | 8,000 |
Total Intervals: | 18,000 | 17,100 | 15,020 |
In the above charts, OneWeb failed to meet the CIR Service SLA in 12% (i.e., (17,100 – 15,020) / 17,100 = 12.2% rounded down) of the interval measurements across all applicable CoS intervals. As such, and in this example, the CIR Service SLA Credits = Specific Service Plan MRC * 10% (and not 12% per month due to the CIR Service SLA Credit Cap of 10% per month).
(2) | Maritime GB SLA and Maritime GB SLA Credits: |
i. | OneWeb commits to provide the capacity to deliver the quantity of gigabytes set out in Exhibit 1 for the Specific Service Plan for the Commercial Maritime Vertical Market, where requested, over each twenty-four (24) hour period measured each day starting from 00:00:00 (midnight) UCT (“Maritime GB SLA”). |
● | Maritime GB SLA Credit: OneWeb will provide those service credits on the Maritime GB SLA as follows (the “Maritime GB SLA Credit”): 1% of the MRC for each day when OneWeb failed to provide enough capacity to meet the Maritime GB SLA, per Specific Service Plan for the Commercial Maritime Vertical Market; provided that (i) the maximum Maritime GB SLA Credit shall not exceed the Maritime GB SLA Credit Cap; and (ii) the Maritime GB SLA Credit shall only apply to the affected and active OneWeb Approved Equipment that is transmitting and/or receiving mobility or fixed service-related data communications through the OneWeb Network at the time of the Maritime GB SLA deviation. |
11 | ||
Exhibit 2 OneWeb Distribution Partner Agreement Fixed Version 1.12 (05 October 2023) |
B. | Network Performance Metrics. OneWeb provides the following OneWeb Network metrics (collectively, the “Network Performance Metrics”): |
(1) | Link Availability: OneWeb shall maintain a minimum monthly average Link Availability of at least 99.5%. Link Availability is the percentage of time that a full or half duplex communication link (packets going back and forth) between input to the Reference OneWeb Approved Equipment and the Landing PoP is up, which is a product of the system availability and location specific effects. |
(2) | Latency: OneWeb shall maintain a Target Average Network Latency of ≤ 70 milliseconds one-way for the global average of all transmissions as measured and reported by OneWeb between the Reference OneWeb Approved Equipment and the Landing PoP hand-off point during the measured month. The Forward Link (“FL”) one-way latency is measured as the delay between the Landing PoP and the Reference OneWeb Approved Equipment. The Return Link (“RL”) one-way latency is measured as the delay between the Reference OneWeb Approved Equipment and the Landing PoP. The End-to-End latency for a given Reference OneWeb Approved Equipment is defined as the sum of the FL one-way latency and the RL one-way latency as defined above. |
(3) | Packet Error Loss Rate: OneWeb shall maintain a Target Packet/Delivery Loss of successful packet delivery of ≥ 99% as measured and reported by OneWeb between the Reference OneWeb Approved Equipment and the Landing PoP during the measured month. The Packet Error Loss Rate (“PELR”) definition shall be based on the definitions in IETF RFC 7680 (or similar). Specifically, it shall measure IP packet loss between the Reference OneWeb Approved Equipment and the Landing PoP. It shall be measured independently for both the FL and the RL. The PELR metric shall be based on standardized UDP and TCP traffic profiles. The measurement protocol shall follow the applicable definitions/recommendations found in IETF RFC 4656 and IETF RFC 5357 (or similar). |
C. | SLA Claim and Deviation Process; and SLA Exclusions. |
(1) | SLA Claim and Deviation Process: In order to receive the Service SLA Credit and/or to report a deviation from any of the other SLAs, (i) Distribution Partner must (a) notify OneWeb’s Technical Assistance Centre in writing (email sufficient) within fifteen (15) business days of the date on which it believes the particular SLA was not met with sufficient details included in such notice and (b) make a claim for such SLA by another such notice to OneWeb’s Technical Assistance Centre within fifteen (15) business days of the end of the service month; and (ii) OneWeb must confirm in writing (email being sufficient) within fifteen (15) business days of Distribution Partner’s second notice whether or not it agrees with Distribution Partner (and if OneWeb disagrees with Distribution Partner, OneWeb shall include the reasons for such disagreement in such notification). OneWeb’s records will control for the purposes of confirming whether the particular SLA was not met. The Service SLA Credits and any deviations from any of the other SLAs will be calculated in accordance with OneWeb’s records and information recorded by, or on behalf of, OneWeb. |
If OneWeb receives a valid claim for Service SLA Credit in accordance with the foregoing process, OneWeb will provide the applicable Service SLA Credit by deducting those Service SLA Credits from amounts due under an invoice within two (2) billing cycles of the final determination date of the claim being validated by OneWeb. Where the Service SLA Credit is due after termination of this Agreement and no further invoices are due to be issued by OneWeb, OneWeb will refund the Service SLA Credit to Distribution Partner within two (2) calendar months.
12 | ||
Exhibit 2 OneWeb Distribution Partner Agreement Fixed Version 1.12 (05 October 2023) |
The failure of Distribution Partner to submit a claim for (y) the Service SLA Credit and/or (z) deviation from any of the SLAs in accordance with the foregoing process will constitute a waiver of any remedy that would have otherwise resulted from such claim.
(2) | SLA Exclusions: Distribution Partner shall not be entitled to the Service SLA Credit and OneWeb shall not be deemed to have deviated from any of the other SLAs for the following reasons: |
i. | OneWeb’s failure to meet an SLA is caused by or results from (a) Distribution Partner, Sub- Distributor and/or any End Customer (including loss of data outside of the OneWeb service management boundary discussed above in Section 2 of this Exhibit 2); (b) the OneWeb Approved Equipment (including deactivation of the same); (c) degradation of the OneWeb Network, the applicable OneWeb Service, applications, and/or devices where compatibility has not been established, or where the issue is not due to failure of the applicable OneWeb Service or the OneWeb Network; and/or (d) factors outside of OneWeb’s reasonable control (including a Force Majeure Event, failure by third party providers, signal blockage due to terrain or other physical impediment, satellite sun outage or other astronomical, seismic or weather disturbances, Radio Frequency interference); |
ii. | Distribution Partner has not paid OneWeb all amounts due or is otherwise not in full compliance with this Agreement; and/or |
iii. | OneWeb is (a) conducting Emergency Maintenance or Planned Maintenance or (b) providing the OneWeb Services on a test or trial basis. |
D. | Chronic Performance Problem Termination Right. Upon Distribution Partner’s notice to OneWeb of a Chronic Performance Problem, OneWeb shall put in place a remediation plan for the affected Specific Service Plan to address the issues pertaining to the specific Chronic Performance Problems being encountered (the “Remediation Plan”). If OneWeb deviates from any of the SLAs for two more consecutive months after implementation of the Remediation Plan with respect to such Specific Service Plan, Distribution Partner may terminate the applicable Accepted Order solely for such Specific Service Plan upon thirty (30) days notice to OneWeb. |
6. | ONEWEB APPROVED EQUIPMENT |
A. | OneWeb Obligations. With respect to the OneWeb Approved Equipment, OneWeb shall (1) enable activation of or modify each OneWeb Service configuration on the OneWeb Approved Equipment as part of the OneWeb Service activation or modification process; (2) share with Distribution Partner details about the release roadmaps of routine maintenance or new feature software upgrades; (3) schedule, in coordination with Distribution Partner, appropriate support windows when routine maintenance, new feature, critical or emergency software upgrades can be pushed by OneWeb to the OneWeb Approved Equipment ensuring that disruption to each OneWeb Service is minimized; (4) make available the latest software / firmware release to Distribution Partner for Distribution Partner to manage the manual upgrade of the OneWeb Approved Equipment by approved install staff in the case where the OneWeb software / firmware directed push is deemed impractical or not viable; and (5) reserve the right to (i) push critical or emergency software / firmware upgrades to preserve integrity of the OneWeb Approved Equipment and/or (ii) without limiting any of OneWeb’s rights in this Agreement, de-activate any of the OneWeb Approved Equipment should it be identified by OneWeb (in its sole discretion) as compromising the OneWeb Network. |

Exhibit 3 OneWeb Distribution Partner Agreement Fixed Version 1.12 (05 October 2023) |
ATTACHMENT
1 TO PART II OF EXHIBIT 3
ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
(i) Fair Access Policy. To ensure that all of OneWeb’s partners, customers and End Customers have equitable access to the OneWeb Network and to avoid unfair and disruptive use of the OneWeb Network, OneWeb has implemented a Fair Access Policy, which is a part of the AUP and establishes an equitable balance in accessing and using the capacity of the OneWeb Network. OneWeb has the right to (A) measure and monitor the OneWeb Network for upload and download activity; (B) restrict applications that cause disruption of data transfer rates and poor performance of the OneWeb Services or the OneWeb Network; and (C) use other traffic management, shaping and prioritization at its discretion. OneWeb may reduce data speeds at any time if any of the OneWeb Approved Equipment data usage exceeds an identified threshold with such data usage calculated based on a combination of all inbound and outbound data from the OneWeb Approved Equipment. If any End Customer or the OneWeb Approved Equipment engages in excessive upload and download data activity and contributes to any disruption of the OneWeb Services or the OneWeb Network, OneWeb is authorized to temporarily restrict the transfer rate at which such OneWeb Approved Equipment and/or End Customer can send and receive data over the OneWeb Network without liability. In most cases, the restriction on the OneWeb Approved Equipment and/or End Customer transfer rate will last until the end of the then-current data allowance period for the OneWeb Services. If the OneWeb Approved Equipment and/or End Customer again engages in excessive upload and download data activity following the restoration of normal transfer rate after commencement of a new data allowance period, OneWeb may further temporarily restrict such transfer rate. Excessive use shall be determined by OneWeb in its sole discretion, based on the limits associated with the OneWeb Approved Equipment and/or the OneWeb Services and pro-rata allocation of network capacity across all of OneWeb’s sub-distributors and each of OneWeb’s (and its sub-distributor’s) end users simultaneously using the OneWeb Network at any point in time. Excessive use includes the use of web cameras, voice or VoIP services, peer to peer file sharing or gaming software applications, streaming media and excessively large file downloads or uploads. Restriction of the transfer rate permitted to a particular OneWeb Approved Equipment and/or End Customer as described above will reduce the speed at which such OneWeb Approved Equipment and/or End Customer can upload and download data, but will not altogether prevent the use of the OneWeb Services and the OneWeb Network by such OneWeb Approved Equipment and/or End Customer.
(ii) Content and Security. End Customer acknowledges and agrees that (A) access to the Internet and all messages/content through the OneWeb Services, the OneWeb Approved Equipment and/or the OneWeb Network is done so at End Customer’s sole risk and End Customer assumes all responsibility, risk and liability for any claims, liability or damages with respect to the OneWeb Services, the OneWeb Approved Equipment and/or the OneWeb Network (1) for the security, confidentiality and integrity of such messages/content, (2) for the application of security policies designed to prevent unwanted or unauthorized activity or access thereto and/or (3) arising from any use of and/or access to the Internet through its account by any person (even if such use was unauthorized) and, with respect to the foregoing subsections (1)-(3), End Customer shall take responsibility for the implementation of suitable data archiving or other housekeeping activities which could minimize the effect of any of the foregoing; (B) the reliability, availability, legality, performance and other aspects of resources and content accessed through the Internet are beyond OneWeb’s reasonable control and are not in any way warranted, endorsed or supported by OneWeb and accordingly OneWeb is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from sites or resources available through the OneWeb Network, the OneWeb Approved Equipment and OneWeb Services, including the absence of bugs, errors or viruses, accuracy or reliability of any material or claims contained therein; (C) safeguards related to copyright, ownership, appropriateness, reliability, legality and integrity of content may be unsuitable, insufficient or entirely absent with respect to the Internet and content accessible through it; (D) the Internet is an inherently insecure medium and understands that OneWeb does not represent, warrant, covenant and/or guarantee the security or integrity of any communications made or received using the OneWeb Services, the OneWeb Approved Equipment or OneWeb Network; and (E) it will ensure that it has the legal authority (based on copyright, trademark, contract, or other body of Law) for the transmission and duplication of any programming, content, or other materials that it transmits – directly or indirectly – over the OneWeb Services, the OneWeb Approved Equipment and/or the OneWeb Network.

(iii) Prohibited Activities. As determined by OneWeb (in its sole discretion), and in addition to the foregoing subsections (i) and (ii) above, End Customer shall not undertake, or attempt to undertake any use of the OneWeb Network, the OneWeb Approved Equipment and/or the OneWeb Services in a manner that is (A) inconsistent with the rights of other users of the OneWeb Network and/or this Service Contract; and/or (B) unethical, unlawful, abusive, excessive, fraudulent or otherwise an unacceptable use, including the following:

(8) impersonating any person or entity, including any OneWeb employee or representative;
(9) disclosing passwords or other means for accessing the OneWeb Services, operating and provisioning platforms, APIs or OneWeb Network to any third party, or otherwise facilitating unauthorized access thereto;

Exhibit 4
OneWeb Branding Guidelines
As indicated in this Exhibit 4, Distribution Partner shall submit for OneWeb’s prior written approval any promotional materials bearing the OneWeb Marks (the “Promotional Materials”) at least ten (10) business days prior to: (A) fabrication, if the OneWeb Mark is to be printed in physical form, or (B) its planned release, if the OneWeb Mark is to be distributed digitally. For the avoidance of doubt, the Promotional Materials include any materials used in public relations, social media, sponsorship, packaging, labeling, hang tags, advertising materials, product brochures, websites, events and display materials that bear the OneWeb Marks. All such Promotional Materials with details of which publication or where they are to be reproduced shall be submitted electronically to OneWeb at the following email address: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx. All properly submitted Promotional Materials shall be subject to approval by OneWeb within five (5) business days of receipt.
Distribution Partner shall not directly or indirectly (such as through its Sub-Distributors and/or End Customers) (i) use any trademarks, tradenames, service marks and/or logos confusingly similar to the OneWeb Marks; (ii) bring disrepute to or in any manner impair or damage the OneWeb Marks or the image, reputation or goodwill associated with the OneWeb Marks; or (iii) otherwise engage in any practices that may harm or be detrimental to OneWeb, OneWeb’s brand and/or the public image, reputation or goodwill of OneWeb. From time to time, and in addition to OneWeb’s rights contained in Section 12 of this Agreement, OneWeb shall have the right to review Distribution Partner’s use of the OneWeb Marks (including in the Promotional Materials) to ensure that the Guidelines are being adhered to and that the image, reputation and goodwill associated with the OneWeb Marks is not being adversely affected by Distribution Partner, its Sub-Distributors or its End Customers. At OneWeb’s request, Distribution Partner shall provide to OneWeb descriptions of such use and representative samples of Promotional Materials. If OneWeb reasonably determines that such use of the OneWeb Marks and/or the Promotional Materials are of a type or quality that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the Guidelines), or is likely to affect the image, reputation, or goodwill associated with the OneWeb Marks, then Distribution Partner shall improve such use of the OneWeb Marks and/or such Promotional Materials to a quality that is consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the Guidelines), and that does not adversely affect the image, reputation, or goodwill associated with the OneWeb Marks, as reasonably determined by OneWeb. If Distribution Partner fails to make such improvements, as reasonably determined by OneWeb, Distribution Partner must immediately and entirely discontinue its use of the OneWeb Marks and the Promotional Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distribution Partner must discontinue any particular use of the OneWeb Marks that does not comply with the terms and conditions of this Exhibit 4 within twenty-four (24) hours of a request from OneWeb to do so.
Distribution Partner shall, at all times, ensure that it markets and promotes the OneWeb Services in a commercially reasonable, ethical, and professional manner with no less than the level of care that it applies to the sale of any of its own value-added services and/or re-sale of any other third-party services.
