Equipment received in poor condition by the customer: 

The satellite equipment will always be delivered to our customers by an authorized technician at the time of installation of the service, if it is determined that the equipment comes with any defect or damage from the factory at the time of inspection, we will proceed to change the unit immediately. 

Warranty: 

Our satellite equipment is guaranteed for 6 months. 

If the satellite equipment stops working in less than 8 days after installation of the service, the equipment will be replaced immediately after determining that it stopped working due to factory problems and not due to improper use by the customer. 

If the satellite equipment stops working more than 8 days and less than 6 months after the installation of the service, without being due to damage caused by the customer, the equipment will be sent to our technical service workshop through a shipment managed by the customer, where the cause of the damage to the terminal will be reviewed, proceeding to the repair or complete replacement of the unit if necessary without generating costs for the customer other than shipping. 

If the equipment is damaged after 6 months of service installation, the customer may use the services of our service workshop, but the full costs of repairing the equipment shall be borne by the customer. 

Calculation of compensation or reimbursement 

The operator shall provide the contracted service efficiently and continuously and shall apply compensation and reimbursements in the event of service degradation or interruption, except for those cases that are considered exempt from liability according to the regulations in force. 

For the purposes of compensation for interruptions, the operator/supplier will count the time of service interruption from the moment the request is received from the user or, failing that, from the moment the interruption is detected by the active monitoring of the operator's technical support team, from the moment the interruption occurs until the moment the service is fully restored and returns to its normal operating conditions. The calculation of the compensation will be made in the following manner, as established in the Service Provision and Quality Regulation:  

Where:  
Recurring rate: the recurring rate of the service corresponds to the monthly price (or billing period) of the service under optimal operating conditions, established contractually between the user and the operator, which does not include the amounts billed under the modality of consumption charges. For prepaid services, the recurring rate corresponds to the amount of the last recharge made by the user.  
Total interruption time: corresponds to the total time of service failure accumulated over the entire month or billing period of the service. This total time is expressed in hours and fractions of an hour, and the minimum unit of measurement is one minute.
Total time for the month or billing period: corresponds to the total number of hours for the month or billing period of the service.  

For the purposes of accounting in the above formula, a degradation in a telecommunications service is considered to constitute an interruption when at least one of the particular indicators defined in the RPCS for the service in question has a compliance rate equal to or lower than 40%. 

La compensación por parte del operador/proveedor deberá materializarse como un reintegro de dinero en efectivo, crédito en la facturación, bonificaciones de servicios, u otra forma de compensación siempre que sea convenida entre el operador/proveedor y el usuario afectado, y siempre que dicha compensación sea igual o superior al monto calculado utilizando el artículo 22 del presente reglamento.  

Compensation by the operator/supplier shall be made in the following billing period or within a period not exceeding 60 calendar days, both options counted from the date of occurrence of the interruption event or, failing that, from the date of filing of the user's complaint with the operator/supplier.
