2. LIABILITY: Satellite Family shall not be liable for loss or damage of any kind resulting from delay or inability to deliver, or failure to deliver caused directly or indirectly by acts of God or the public enemy, riots, accident, strikes or differences with labor, labor shortage, inability to obtain material or equipment, or transportation or fuel, explosions, epidemics, quarantine, restrictions, unusually severe weather, compliance with or the operation of any applicable governmental legislation, regulation, directive or order of any government or of the United States or of any state or other political subdivision thereof, judgments or order of any court of competent jurisdiction, order or rulings of any board, agency, commission, officer or other competent governmental authority, of any government of the United States or of any state or other political subdivision thereof, or any other thing beyond Satellite Family's absolute and unconditional control: Satellite Family shall not be required to use overtime labor, nor to expend any monies whatsoever to cure any such delay or failure to deliver. In the event of such delay, the date of delivery of this order shall be extended by a period of time approximately equal to the time lost by reason of the delays. In the event of any partial failure to deliver so caused, Satellite Family shall have the right to prorate payment for such of the merchandise as it could and did in fact deliver, whether or not delivery of the same may have been delayed.

3. WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES OF Satellite Family:

Satellite Family SHALL, IN NO EVENT, BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SUSTAINED BY BUYER ARISING OUT OF THIS TRANSACTION.

4. EARLY TERMINATION OF SERVICE FEE:
You agree to a monthly programming package which includes a minimum of the Total Choice Package programming service and agree to maintain such service, without interruption during your 12 (twelve) month service commitment. In the event that the required programming service is terminated or downgraded below the required minimum level prior to the completion of the first twelve months, you agree to pay Satellite Family an early termination fee of $195. Satellite Family may, at it's discretion, bill you or charge your credit card for this early termination fee plus all costs associated with collecting this fee. Your use of the services provided by Satellite Family and DirecTV shall confirm your acknowledgment of this fee. In the event you contest this amount or the charge is dishonored or rejected for any reason, Satellite Family shall have the right to report the matter to national credit reporting agencies and may pursue any other legal remedy as necessary. You further agree to pay any 3rd party collection costs. Note: Moving? No Problem! Just take your existing receivers with you. DirecTV will professionally install them in your new home free of charge, thus avoiding any potential early termination fee's associated with a cancellation or termination of service.
