NetDiverse, LLC Managed Internal Broadband Service (MIBS) Service Level Agreement Service Description: Managed Internal Broadband Service ( MIB Service, MIBS, Managed WiFi, Managed WiFi/LAN, Network as a Service, and or NaaS) is a service that provides E Rate eligible internal broadband components, customized implementation, engineering, design, management, and oversight solutions for Customer s internal broadband connectivity. MIB Service is a customized solution for Customers using the Service Components listed on a Service Component Worksheet attached to a MIB Service Order or MIB Service Change Order (Order). The Service Component Worksheet shall include the Value of Service Components in terms of either Service Components per Coverage Unit OR more likely Coverage Units per Service Component. Example: 4.65 students per UAP AC Service Component (802.11ac 3x3 MIMO) The Status of the Service Components on the Service Component Worksheet indicate whether the designed MIB Service Components may be eliminated, delayed, or replaced with other Service Components, dependent on necessary design adjustments required to best meet the Service Goals as stated in a MIB Service Order. (See Service Component Adjustments Until Service Start Approved below) These Service Components are designed by NetDiverse and approved by Customer to reasonably meet a Service Goal within Total Price as defined on the Order. Pricing for NetDiverse MIB Service is based on a Price in US Dollars per Coverage Unit on an Up Front and Monthly basis. Coverage Units are the units covered by the MIB Service: students for schools and square footage for libraries and other entities. Example Pricing: Up Front Price = $90/student Monthly Price = $1.25/student Service Component Adjustments Until Service Start Approved Service Components listed on the Service Component Worksheet with a Status of Designed or Initially Approved may be exchanged, based on Value for other Service Components listed on the NetDiverse MIBS Available Service Components List available upon request. To remain in compliance with E Rate rules, these exchanges may occur if they do not alter the Service Goal or price/budget as outlined on the MIBS Service Order and all Service Components must be E Rate eligible. Customer may also eliminate or delay implementation of a Service Component from the Service Component Worksheet as long as it s status is Designed or Initially Approved and does not alter the Service Goal of the outlined MIBS 1
Service Order. Once the Status of an item on the Service Component Worksheet is Service Start Approved, then NetDiverse may invoice Customer for the Up Front portion of the Service. Upon receipt of the Customer s Up Front Payment for a Service Start Approved Service Component, NetDiverse is committed to provide these Service Component(s) through the end of the Service Term and Customer is committed to paying for all up front payments and monthly fees for the Coverage Units related to these Service Components. If Customer chooses to use E Rate Service Provider Invoicing (SPI), then NetDiverse will invoice Customer for their portion of the service and will invoice the FCC/USAC at the time service begins pursuant to FCC/USAC rules and procedures. Ownership of Hardware and other Physical Components: Customer will own the equipment upon Full Up Front Payment (by Customer and FCC/USAC) and upon Delivery of any hardware, equipment, or other physical components when the Service Component Worksheet description includes the words includes equipment purchase. However, these components are immediately considered collateral if Customer fails to perform in paying monthly fees for the related Coverage Units. As clarification, Customer will not own loaned equipment for the purpose of site surveys, remote assistance, or management tools not specifically identified as included as a purchased item.
