The purchaser acknowledges that he/she is not applying for or requesting any form of consumer credit from VMC Satellite, Inc., and that the purchase and/ or use of an installation certificate shall not create a credit grantor/ grantee relationship between VMC Satellite, Inc. and the purchaser as defined under Federal Consumer Credit Acts.

*Next Day installation is available in most cities, but not everywhere. We make every effort to offer each customer installation the very next day. However, weather, workload, and other factors may prevent us from offering you installation within 24 hours. Next Day installation may not be available in multiple-dwelling buildings such as apartments or condominiums. Your equipment will be installed by Dish Network/Echostar Communications Corp. DVR equipment is free in the first two rooms. If you want DVRs in your third and fourth rooms, a $99 upgrade fee will apply. A monthly DVR fee of $5.98 per month applies for your first two rooms with DVR service. Additional DVR equipment will incur a $5.98 fee per room. (Example: DVR in two rooms adds $5.98 per month.

"Lifetime Warranty" refers to our Digital Home Protection Plan, which is included free with a minimum 18 month commitment and at least DishFamily programming. Upfront charge to your credit card of $49.99 is automatically refunded on your first DISH Network bill when you sign up for 18 month commitment. Don't want to make an 18 month commitment? Without a commitment, you will lose the $49.99 credit on your first bill and the FREE Lifetime Warranty. However, you can still purchase the warranty for an additional $5.99 per month. **Hawaii customers may need to purchase a larger dish to receive HD programming. Please refer to the rebate form for the complete terms and conditions of this offer.

As an inducement to receive this FREE INSTALLATION OFFER from VMC Satellite, Inc., you are making an 18 month commitment to remain a Dish Network subscriber, without interruption. By placing your order by phone or via the Internet, you agree that VMC Satellite, or its agent(s), may charge you an early termination fee/non activation fee of $290 in the event that your service is never activated (or) once activated, is interrupted or terminated within the first 18 months. You must have paid for 18 months of uninterrupted service (minimum Dish Family programming) to avoid the early termination fee. VMC may, at its discretion, bill you or charge your credit card for this early termination fee plus all costs associated with collecting this fee. Your use of the services provided by VMC and Dish Network shall confirm your acknowledgment of this fee. If you choose to downgrade your service to a lower priced programming package after any initial trial periods, a one-time downgrade fee may apply (generally $5). If you move during the initial 18 month commitment, you will be eligible for DISH Network's Mover Program, which will provide free installation of your DISH Network system in your new home.

Your use of this website constitutes your agreement to contact us directly in the event you have any dispute as to the charges made to your credit card by VMC or the amounts of the charges. We ask that you contact us at 703-206-1150 and to allow us an opportunity to satisfactorily resolve any issue you have PRIOR to disputing any charge directly with your credit card company. In the event that you request a refund from us, and we later determine that a DISH Network satellite TV system was installed in your home, you agree to allow us to charge your credit card for the previously refunded amount.

In certain circumstances, customers may request a receiver configuration which requires the use of additional equipment beyond our typical installation. In such cases, equipment will still be provided free of charge, but an additional $5 monthly equipment fee may apply.
