Does anyone have a written agreement outlining the programming and 18 month service committments for their 622 leases? I heard the terms mentioned by the tech that took my order, but I have not seen anything in writing. The installers had me sign for the installation plus the equipment they used, but again there is no mention of service level or length.

Is this type of verbal contract binding? Seems kind of questionable to me.

Looks like a valid contract, but I never saw anything like that more less signed one.

Has anyone else signed this type of agreement?
Someone in another thread said that when you upgrade to a 211, and they send it to you, it comes with a paper in the box that says that if you call and activate the reciever, you are agreeing to the 18 month contract. I'm sure it is the same with the 622...

I don't recall seeing with my 622, but I'll double check the box and see if I missed it.

I did see an "how my information can be used" insert in the box - I usually keep anything that I think is important with the users guide.
