3. SERVICES (a) Description of Service. OfficeSync provides the registered user with access to the OfficeSync Gateway from any System.

Service plans specify monthly usage expectations in terms of data transfers in total accumulated megabytes (MB), total number of transfers, or combination thereof, for the month. Customer may exceed the transfers specified in their plan but overage charges will apply. Please confirm that the plan for which You are registering meets Your needs. Unused MB or transfer counts can not be carried forward.
To use the Service you will need to install the OfficeSync software (“Software”) to each hand-held device or PC that you would like to transfer files to and from. Each PC that you wish to use must also maintain a connection with the Internet in order to access the service. Hand-held devices and mobile computers will automatically establish an Internet connection as required via a digital connection using the OfficeSync Field Kit (modem).
