3. Authorized TeamSpeak Host Provider (ATHP) Licensing Fees oth
|
|||
|
parties. All ATHP based licensing is 'billed in arrears'. This
|
|||
|

month for all hosting based on AVERAGE MONTHLY SLOT COUNT that
|
|||
|
occurred during the previous month, with a minimum fee of $14 for
|
|||
|
a 100 minimum slot count. All payments are due 15 days after you

|
|||
|
licensing requirements may have their ATHP license revoked and/or
|
|||
|
servers suspended.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. ATHP Examples Examples where ATHP-based licensing applies include
|
|||
|
but are not limited to the following: a) Direct Fees - If you
|
|||
|
charge a monthly rental or usage fee for a TeamSpeak server OR
|
|||
|
channel you are subject to ATHP licensing fees. b) Indirect Fees
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> If you <20>sponsor<6F> a clan and ask them to advertise for you in
|
|||
|
return for the use of a TeamSpeak server OR channel you are subject
|
|||
|
to ATHP licensing fees. c) Inclusion Fees <20> If you are a Game
|
|||
|
Server Provider (GSP) that hosts a TeamSpeak server OR channel to
|
|||
|
someone who is paying a monthly fee to rent a game server then you
|
|||
|
are subject to ATHP licensing fees **REGARDLESS** of whether or
|
|||
|
not you choose to charge for the TeamSpeak server itself.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5. Single Server Use Licensing (SSUL) Fees SSUL is for entities
|
|||
|
that wish to use TeamSpeak in a commercial environment but are not
|
|||
|
in the business of renting servers. This is a one time (non-recurring)
|
|||
|
license fee good for 1 year of free version updates as they are
|
|||
|
made available. After the 1 year period expires, you may continue
|
|||
|
using the existing version but will not be able to upgrade without
|
|||
|
an additional upgrade fee.

|||
|
|
|||
|

costs on typical long distance telephone charges. b) An ATHP that
|
|||
|
wants to use a TeamSpeak server for internal corporate communication.
|
|||
|
The TeamSpeak server MUST reside on a physical server that is not
|
|||
|
a part of the ATHPs normal customer base or server farm.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7. SSUL Upgrades TeamSpeak Systems will provide you with free
|
|||
|
upgrades for a period that begins on the purchase date and ends
|
|||
|
365 days later. Such upgrades will include any upgrades for TeamSpeak
|
|||
|
that are released by TeamSpeak Systems for general distribution to
|
|||
|
TeamSpeak licensees during the one year period for which you are
|
|||
|
entitled to receive free upgrades. TeamSpeak Systems has no obligation
|
|||
|
to provide you with any upgrades that are not released for general
|
|||
|
distribution to TeamSpeak Systems<6D>s other licensees. Nothing in
|
|||
