What You Can Expect from Us
Please also read ou r
Terms of
Email Use as
well as our
General Terms of Use.
By ordering any product or service through
the use of this Internet site, the Subscriber agrees with
SWANsat Marketing,
LLC, that the Subscriber is bound by the terms set
forth below. The terms of this agreement include terms on use of this Internet site,
terms on the purchase of products and services, and terms regarding copyright and
trademark matters.
By subscribing to a MySWANmail™
encrypted email account, in addition to entering into a renewable
agreement to subscribe to the account, you
are also entering into a non-binding agreement with
us whereby we extend to you
a non-transferable option (hereafter referred to as a "Conversion Warrant") to
convert your MySWANmail™ encrypted email
account into a 24-month subscription to a full
service
SWANsat™ account when we announce the roll out of
satellite-based
SWANsat™ services pursuant to our
license to operate the
SWANsat™ satellite system. In effect, by purchasing your
MySWANmail™ account, and by maintaining your account active until launch of the
SWANsat™ constellation of satellites, you are reserving your account number in the
SWANsat™ system in case
SWANsat™ becomes so popular that the system reaches its
maximum capacity.
SWANsat™ will report the total number of Conversion Warrants
available to various financial institutions with which
we are affiliated (or with which we are contemplating entering into affiliation or lending relationships) as one means of obtaining financing
for the design, construction, and launch of the
SWANsat™ system.
At no time will specific information
identifying you as a subscriber to our services be
reported. Only the total number of Conversion Warrants
will be reported. Current as of 1 May 2005, the
total number of possible Conversion Warrants that we
may issue is 10 million. The number of Conversion
Warrants that remain unissued and are still available
is displayed in a counter placed in the lower right
hand corner of this web page, preceded by an
identifier that reads "Subscriptions Available". This
number is an approximation only, and may not
necessarily include all possible SWANsat™
subscriptions that may be offered or operated by
SWANsat™.
IMPORTANT NOTICE #2:
Full service
SWANsat™ accounts will include a
FREE handset, but will require a 24 month contract.
Pricing for the
SWANsat™ satellite service has not been set at this time, but is expected to be approximately
USD$100.00 per month or less. You may subscribe to
the MySWANmail™ encrypted email service at this time WITHOUT entering into the 24-month contract.
Our MySWANmail™ encrypted email accounts
do not carry a 24-month commitment. The minimum subscription to our MySWANmail™ account is one year (USD$20.00),
and you can purchase up to 5 years of email services at this time. If you purchase a 5 year
subscription to a MySWANmail™ account and if you pay all five years in advance (USD$100), when SWANsat™
satellite services begin, we will waive the USD$100 activation fee, and we will waive the first month of
service on the
SWANsat™ satellite system. Each of your USD$20 annual service fee payments
will be credited toward your activation fee, should you decide to exercise your Conversion Warrant and activate your
SWANsat™ satellite
account when
SWANsat™ satellite services begin. In the event that you decide not to exercise your
Conversion Warrant and enter into a 24-month
SWANsat™ satellite service contract, your annual MySWANmail™ payments will not be
credited to your account, but you may still continue to subscribe to the MySWANmail™
128-bit encrypted email account at the rates that will be in effect at that time.
Note that
SWANsat™
satellite services are not being sold at this time as the SWANsat™
satellite services are not expected to begin until early 2011.
IMPORTANT NOTICE #3:
The primary service offered through the
SWANsat™ system at this
time is the MySWANmail™ 128-bit fully-encrypted email service. All MySWANmail™ accounts are accessible at this time by subscribers
through the subscriber's Internet connection via traditional land lines or via the user's Wi-Fi wireless connections.
SWANsat™ satellite-linked services
are NOT available at this time, and are not expected to be delivered by satellite until 2011. Accordingly,
SWANsat™
makes no representation that it is selling satellite services at this time.
Note that
SWANsat™ only represents
that it is offering MySWANmail™ 128-bit encrypted email accounts at this time, that all MySWANmail™ services
are distributed, delivered or accessible through traditional Internet land line and/or Wi-Fi systems at this time, and that
only emails and their attachments sent from the subscriber's MySWANmail™ account to another subscriber's MySWANmail™
account are guaranteed to be encrypted. No guarantee or representation about encryption is made as to email sent
from a subscriber's MySWANmail™ account to other email addresses. Further,
although your MySWANmail™ account is POP3 and web accessible, and you can
easily access your MySWANmail™ account through Thunderbird™, Eudora™, Outlook™, Outlook Express™,
or other popular email programs, encryption is guaranteed for email sent from your
MySWANmail™ account to another user's MySWANmail™ account only when your MySWANmail account is accessed through your browser.
You will lose any encryption when your emails are transferred from our servers to other email programs, so we do
recommend that you only access your MySWANmail™ through your browser for critical, sensitive emails.
IMPORTANT NOTICE #4:
By using the
MySWANmail™ 128-bit encrypted email
service, the Subscriber hereby agrees to hold SWANsat™ and its affiliates, employees, agents, and assigns
harmless from any and all incidental or consequential damages that may occur in the event that the MySWANmail™
encryption algorithms fail or are cracked by the Subscriber, by the Subscriber's message recipient,
or by any third party. Further, should any such failure or breach of the MySWANmail™
encryption algorithms compromise any message or attachment sent by the Subscriber or received by the Subscriber's
email recipient, the Subscriber does hereby hold SWANsat™ and its affiliates, employees, agents, and assigns
harmless from any and all incidental or consequential damages that may occur from any such failure or breach of the
MySWANmail™ encryption algorithms.
IMPORTANT NOTICE #5:
You MUST
have an
active and verified
PayPal™ account in order to
receive payments under the SWANsat™ Beneficiary Program. Your referral fees will be paid to you
monthly, on or about the first day of each month, but no later than the 7th of each month. Further,
you must use your MySWANmail™ email address as the primary email address on
your PayPal™ account.
If the primary email address on your PayPal™ account is not your MySWANmail™ address
(i.e., if you do not use [youraccountnumber]@myswanmail.com as your primary PayPal™ email address, or in
the event you have registered a MySWANmail™ alias such as [youralias]@myswanmail.com,
if you do not use your MySWANmail™ alias as your PayPal™ email address,
please
go to the PayPal™ website and change
your primary PayPal™ email address so that it is the same as your MySWANmail™ address
NOW!

of Terms of Service, taxation of and payment for all

SWANsat™ from
delivering its services through alternate delivery methods other than the

Anonymous
Information
In order to provide you with the information and services
that you look for from the

SWANsat™ gathers
certain types of information from you that are not personally identifiable. This is
called anonymous information and includes:
-

The screen resolution of the system you're using (in order to allow our system
to configure the HTML code we send you specifically for your computer terminal)

-
The
specific
SWANsites™ or other Internet site that you visit (swansat.com,

The anonymous information
collected is not
associated with you personally or your business. We use
this anonymous information in the aggregate to improve SWANsat, the
SWANsites™, and the
services we provide through those sites.
Some
SWANsites™ may use “cookies” to collect the
anonymous information described in this Privacy Policy. Cookies are bits of encrypted
data that are loaded by our servers onto your computer when you visit a
SWANsite™.
The server can retrieve the cookies the next time you visit a site and use them to

Agreement prohibits you from doing so, but the functionality of the

enjoyment of the Services offered through it may be impaired.
Accordingly,
SWANsat™ is not
responsible for failure to provide Services under this Agreement when you disable
cookies from your Internet browser.
Advertising companies deliver ads on some
SWANsites™.

deploy cookies to receive anonymous information about ad viewing by Internet users on
SWANsites™
and other Internet sites. This information is associated with your Web
browser, but cannot be associated with your name or e-mail address without your
permission. Therefore, advertising companies may know where your computer goes on the

SWANsat™ does not provide personally identifiable information about its
Subscribers or about SWANsite™ visitors to these advertising companies.
