Instruction on Appendix III:

 

1. The behaviors listed in the “Breach of Contract” cover possible non-performances in various types of business, unless otherwise specified in the main agreement, appendixes, or this list. But some breaches are not applicable to every type of business due to technical or business characteristics.

 

2. The “level of breach of contract” is divided into three categories: general, serious, and major, corresponding to the three type of measures for breach of contract in the main contract. The division is in principle based on the severity of the behavior, the losses or potential losses caused to Party A and/or users, and the adverse impacts on Party A and/or users. If the grade of the breach remains unclarified, for example, listing as being “normal to serious”, “serious to serious” or “normal to serious”, it shall be graded according to the nature of the behavior itself, to what degree the behavior has caused a loss to Party A and/or users, and the impacts on Party A and/or users.

 

3. Party A may also apply its business norms and management measures based on the agreement in the main contract in addition to the list. But it shall be subject to this list if the business specifications and management measures conflict with this list.

 

4. Party A has the right to revise and adjust related management specifications, rules, procedures and other documents in accordance with the actual situation of business development, or formulate new management specifications, rules, procedures and other documents to replace the original documents. The above revised or newly formulated documents shall be issued to Party B, and signed and accepted by Party B. Such documents will be an integral part of the main contract after they are issued, and shall be abided by Party B.

 

5. Explanation of relevant terms

 

1. Tricking users to subscribe or purchase paid programs: users are tricked to subscribe or purchase paid programs because of the wrong information or false propaganda released by SP in its marketing. For example: there are uplink and downlink records when users subscribe or purchase paid programs; the downlink content is not what the user wants or inconsistent with the content in promotion, while the uplink information content is normal.

 

33

 

 

2. Forcing users to subscribe or purchase paid programs: users do not take initiative to subscribe programs, but have been charged. For example:

 

(1) There are no uplink and downlink records and information content when users subscribe the services, and SP actually does not provide services to users.

 

(2) There are uplink and downlink records when the user subscribes the service, and the content of the uplink and downlink information is normal, but the subscription is concentrated on a period of time, or the number is serialized. The content to confirm the monthly service for second time is virtually the same, and the uplink command for the subscription is virtually the same. And users deny such subscription when they are visited by phone in random test.

 

(3) When users subscribe, there are uplink and downlink records with normal information, one user subscribes for one or more services for multiple times, or simulates the user to subscribe a certain service, and the user deny such subscription when they are visited by phone in random test.

 

(4) When users subscribe, there are uplink and downlink records with normal information, one user subscribes for one or more services for multiple times, the time of subscription is concentrated, and the user deny such subscription in random test and are found to use the same or multiple terminal equipment.

 

3. Malicious self-consumption: subscribe service with their own telecommunications mobile phone numbers. For example: there are almost no other fees in the user’s call bills except for business service fees and communication fees, users only subscribe to one or more SP services, the numbers for subscription are consecutive, or the numbers for subscription cannot be connected.
