The Soracom Group will implement an organizational restructuring on October 1, 2021, which is intended to improve the efficiency of our global operations. This restructuring will consist of consolidating certain functions related to our Canadian customers that are currently handled by our United Kingdom subsidiary into our United States of America subsidiary.

Please rest assured that this restructuring will not interrupt or otherwise affect Soracom services that you are currently using. We are simply modifying relationships into North America which better reflects your business and ours.

If you have any questions regarding this procedural modification, please contact your Soracom sales representative or request a conversation through support in your console.

The outline of the United States of America company to which the transfer will be made is as follows:

Company Name: SORACOM GLOBAL, INC.
Registered Address: 800 Bellevue Way NE, 5th Floor, Bellevue, WA 98004, USA.
Company Number: 5681522 (Delaware).

*As of October 1, 2021, SORACOM GLOBAL, INC. will be moving to the above office location. The registered address until October 1, 2021 is as follows:

In accordance with this restructuring, a portion of our terms and conditions will be revised and will become effective on October 1, 2021 (hereafter the “Effective Date”). These changes will affect all Terms and Conditions for all SORACOM services. For example purposes, we provide the corresponding changes to the General Terms and Conditions for SORACOM Air Global Services (“General Air T&Cs”) below following an explanation of each change, but corresponding provisions of the other applicable Terms and Conditions listed on the SORACOM Website shall be modified in the same way.

  1.

Article 1.1 (Application of General Terms and Conditions) of the General Air T&Cs will now read as follows:“These general terms and conditions as well as the specific regulations (collectively, the “General Terms”) govern the use of SORACOM Air Global Service by customers in the USA and Canada.
