Sec. 1215.105  Delivery of user data.

    (a) As a standard service, NASA will provide to the user its data 
from the TDRSS as determined by NASA in the form of one or more digital 
or analog bit streams synchronized to associated clock streams at the 
NGT.
    (b) User data handling requirements beyond the NGT interface will be 
provided as a standard service to the user, to the extent that the 
requirements do not exceed NASA's planned standard communications 
system. Any additional data transport or handling requirements exceeding 
NASA's capability will be dealt with as a mission-unique service.
    (c) No storage of the user data is provided in the standard service. 
NASA will provide short-term temporary recording of data at White Sands, 
only in event of a NASA Communications Network (NASCOM) link outage.
    (d) NASA will provide TDRSS services on a ``reasonable efforts'' 
basis and, accordingly, will not be liable for damages of any kind to 
the user or third parties for any reason, including but not limited to 
failure to provide contracted-for services. The price for TDRSS services 
does not include a contingency or premium for any potential damages. The 
user will assume any risk of damages or obtain insurance to protect 
against any risk.
