The Reservation agent gives you the ability to obtain bandwidth for an extended period of time at a fixed price. The pricing is set by the seller and depends both on the quantity of bandwidth desired and the duration of the reservation. All reservations begin immediately. There is no reservation fee.
You can buy reserved bandwidth in the Reservation garage. Choose the Reservation garage when you open an agent.
You can cancel reservations any time prior to expiration, but there may be a cancellation fee based on a percentage of the remaining value of the reservation. The seller sets this percentage, which may be any value between 0% (no penalty for cancellation) to 100% (no refund on cancellation). Merkato quotes the cancellation percentage to you when you make the reservation and again when the cancellation is confirmed.
Reservation agents must be uploaded into the garage (rather than just closed) when you no longer want them displayed on your Desktop. If you don’t upload your agent you lose the last entries you made in the reservation request fields, but not the reservations you have already confirmed.
