RS06 Terms and Conditions

Deposit
A cash deposit in the form of a Cheque, Cashier’s Order, Telegraphic Transfer (TT) or Banker's Guarantee (BG) is required. Such deposit is not an advance payment and will not be used to offset the billed amount. It is non-interest bearing, and shall be refunded within six (6) months of termination of service, subject to full settlement of all outstanding accounts with us. The deposit will be reviewed periodically and adjusted from time to time, in order to cover our liabilities to third parties. Our standard deposit rates with effect from 1st July 2005 are as follows:

Annual Fees
Annual fees will be charged as appropriate. There will be no pro-rated refund upon premature termination.

Registration Charges
Registration charges will be waived. This will translate into great savings on your communication costs.

Commission (Handling Charge)
The commission (‘handling charge’) for handling your invoices is 5% of the total charges in the bill for our Preferred Stations (i.e. Yamaguchi, Aussaguel and Eik), which is one of the lowest in the market. Higher charges will apply for all the other stations.

Invoices and Payments
RS06 shall invoice you for all radio communication and satellite charges incurred by your maritime mobile station(s) on a monthly basis. The amount due on the invoice(s) shall be payable within thirty (30) days from the date of the said invoice. The amount in the invoice shall be considered accepted if no objection is received within fourteen (14) days from the date of the said invoice.

Interest of twelve per cent (12%) per annum shall be charged on all outstanding amounts in the account if payment is not made by the due date. In such a case, a notice (reminder) shall be served to recover the arrears. Also, the service providers and the Administration concerned may be notified, as soon as it is established that we are unable to collect payment from the maritime mobile station(s).

This information will enable the service providers to cease accepting calls from the maritime mobile station(s) in order to prevent the delinquent debt (s) from ballooning.

Advance Payment
In order to minimise the exorbitant bank charges when remitting their payments for their monthly bills, customers can send us an additional, surplus amount, which will be kept by RS06 as advance payment. Such payment under the customer's account will be used to offset against the future bills. When the balance is almost depleted, customer can arrange to top up such advance payment.

In this way, the customer can save on some bank charges. Depending on the traffic, they can send us advance payments of USD500 or more. All they need to do is to check the credit balance with RS06 after offsetting the RS06 bills.
