3. Business concept
a. Business concept
We create tailored solutions for our customers based on their business and
technical requirements, modifying these solutions as our customers' needs evolve.
Unlike many other ISPs that outsource their technical support to independent call
centers; our highly reliable services are supported by our knowledgeable and
responsive network experts, some of whom are the same professionals that
implemented our network.
Our customer contracts require us to provide our services for a one-year, two-year,
or three-year term and contain, among other things, a limited service level warranty
related to the continuous availability of service on a 24-hours-per-day, seven-daysper-week basis, except for scheduled maintenance periods. This warranty provides
a credit for free service for disruptions in our Internet access services. At the end of
the term of a contract, a customer may elect to extend the contract's term on a
month-to-month basis. Any change or upgrade in service, however, typically
requires a new contract for a new term.
b. Services
Libatech is a traditional, full-service Internet Service Provider, offering dedicated
Internet access, Small Office/Home Office (SOHO), Digital Subscriber Line (DSL),
Mobile data-only access (3G), wireless residential broadband, Wi-Fi, and networkrelated professional solutions (design, installation, management, etc.). Libatech

Web without the need to hire full-time system administrators, costly high-speed
network connections, dedicated servers, and other similar expenses or expertise.
