You agree to bear any additional costs incurred by KyLinTV to insure return of the Leased Equipment. Failure to timely return the Leased Equipment after the end of your subscription including whether the Equipment is lost (through theft or otherwise) or destroyed (through accident, act of God or otherwise) will result in (for each Leased Equipment not returned): (i) forfeiture of the applicable Equipment Deposit, (ii) a charge for the difference between the Equipment Charge per Equipment set with tax applicable and the Equipment Deposit you paid and (iii) KyLinTV will initiate the collection procedure and the Late Payment Charge set out in Section 8.
E. Additional Equipment: We may allow you to place up to three additional STB (Equipments) on your account in our sole discretion (the “Additional Equipment”). Each Additional Equipment will be authorized to receive the same Services as your initial Equipment. You understand that this option is only available if your initial Equipment and Additional Equipment(s) are located at the same residence registered with your account and are continuously connected to the same modem as you use for the initial Equipment; any usage outside the conditions set forth above may result in the denial of access to Services of all of the Equipments.

If you cancel the Leased Additional Equipment, you must return the Additional Equipment set(s) within ten (10) business days upon KyLinTV’s notice.
F. Care of KyLinTV Property: You agree that neither you nor any other person (except KyLinTV's authorized personnel) will open, tamper with, service, repair, maintain, make any alterations to, or remove any part from any Equipment or Application from its initial installation. Any alteration, tampering, removal, etc., or the use of Equipment or Application which permits the receipt of Services without authorization or the receipt of Services to an unauthorized number of outlet, or to an unauthorized location is regarded by KyLinTV to be theft of Services and is prohibited. During the Term of the Agreement, no right of lien and retention by third parties over the Equipment or Application is allowed.
G. You agree that, you will not try to reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble any software or hardware contained within any Equipment or Application provided by KyLinTV.

You understand that only one access from Own Devices is allowed to receive the Services at the same time under the same account. The charges of VOD by usage you order through all the Equipments and other receiving devices will be merged and listed together in your monthly statement. If you wish to have access on multiple Own Devices at the same time, you will need to register different accounts and subscribe to individual Services for each Own Device.
8. Late Payment: If you delay payment, KyLinTV will send you a reminder or call you, and may temporarily disconnect you to the Services. The Services may be reinstated after you paid in full the amount demanded by KyLinTV. If you delay your payment for one (1) month from the date of billing, or there is non-payment of fees as set out in Section 5C, KyLinTV will initiate the collection procedure and may charge you a Late Payment fee set forth in Exhibit 1. If we use an attorney or a collection agency to collect any money you owe us or to assert any other right that we may have against you, including without limitation, any breach of any agreement you may have with KyLinTV, you agree to pay the reasonable costs of such collection or other action. These costs may include, without limitation, the costs of a collection agency, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.

the terms and restrictions of the Promotional Plan(s), changing
from Prepaid Subscription to Monthly Subscription or Multi-month
Subscription or new Prepaid Subscription of a different channel package

the expiration of the existing Prepaid Subscription. At the expiration of
the existing Prepaid Subscription, you will be billed for the subscription
fee of the new Prepaid Subscription or Monthly Subscription or Multi-month
Subscription of channel package according to Section 5(D).

months within a twelve (12) months period. You must specify the suspension
start date and duration in whole months at the time of request. You will be
charged in advance the one-time non-refundable Suspension Fee at the time

from the date you specify and will be automatically reactivated at the end
of the suspension period. For clarity, the suspension period does not count
as part of a subscription period.

Subscriptions and Multi-month Subscription, there will be no
monthly subscription fee, apart from the monthly Suspension Fee, for the
number of months requested beginning with the next billing cycle following
the suspension start date; however, in the billing cycle immediately

date for any applicable VOD viewing fees for titles viewed in the prior
month.

billing cycle. In the event that your account is cancelled, fees for all
VOD movies and TV drama episodes viewed before the termination of the

You understand and agree that only one access to PC per account is permitted at the same time. The charges of VOD by usage you order through all the Equipments and PC platform will be merged and listed together in your monthly statement. You may cancel your PC Access at any time by calling KyLinTV’s customer service (as set out in Section 22).
