Unless otherwise provided, charges for a GPS Service Plan are payable in advance upon execution of this Agreement.
If Service is declined by Subscriber for any reason, or if this Agreement has expired, is terminated or canceled, or if Subscriber s account is past due, BAWQ is not obligated to provide Service to Subscriber, the Vehicle, its purchaser or its occupants. Any voluntary provision of Service by BAWQ in such cases will not be considered a waiver of this provision of such voluntary Service.

Acceptances by BAWQ of advance payments by Subscriber shall not be deemed a waiver of BAWQ and/or its Authorized Reselling Agents right to modify its charges at any time and shall not relieve Subscriber of its obligation to pay such modified charges.

Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy
preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and
collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT
signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser
signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not
to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must
follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised
version of this Privacy Policy.

COOKIE
POLICY
Last
updated March 31, 2019
This Cookie Policy explains how BAWQ TELECOM ("Company",
"we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies
to recognize you when you visit our websites at www.bawq.com, ("Websites"). It explains what these technologies
are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of
them.
In some cases we may use cookies to collect
personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it
with other information.
What
are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed
on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely
used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more
efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this
case, BAWQ TELECOM) are called "first party cookies".
Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third
party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or
functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising,
interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party
cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question
and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first and third party cookies
for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order
for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or
"strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track
and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online
Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Websites for
advertising, analytics and other purposes.
What
about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize
or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from
time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or
"clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique
identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our
Websites or opened an e-mail including them. This allows us, for example,
to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to
another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have
come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party
website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail
marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on
cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their
functioning.
Do
you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your
computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Websites. These
companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in
order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may
be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the
effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies
or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites
in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of
potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does
not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details
that directly identify you unless you choose to provide
these.
How
often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from
time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or
for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit
this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and
related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy
indicates when it was last updated.

can I get further information?

cookies or other technologies, please email us at support@bawq.com or by post to:
