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.
