9. GENERAL
A. Physical Address/Change of Address. When setting up your DISH Network account, you agree to provide us with the physical street address where your Equipment will be located and your Services provided. A post office box does not constitute a physical address and is not sufficient to meet this requirement. You agree to give us prompt notice of your change of name, mailing address, physical address where your Equipment is located, or telephone number. You may do this by notifying our Customer Service Center by telephone or in writing.
