SERVICES AVAILABILITY
Services are available to the Subscriber’s wireless receiving “Unit” (any device, including Equipment, Subscriber uses to receive or utilize the Services) or Equipment only when it is within the operating range of the Company’s telecommunications system. Services are not available at all times in all places. Services are subject to transmission limitations caused by conditions including but not limited to atmospheric, software limitations in and incompatibilities with Company’s system and the software in Subscriber’s Unit, environmental, buildings, wireless blockages, tower locations, or topographical conditions. Services may be temporarily refused, limited, interrupted, or curtailed without notice, due to unavailability of frequency channels, Unit problems, problems with Company’s equipment used in the provision of the Services, governmental regulations or orders, system capacity limitation, coordination and connection with other service and telecommunications providers’ systems and Carriers, or modifications, upgrades, relocations, repairs and maintenance, acts of God, acts of terrorism, problems caused by Subscriber, our business policies, practices and procedures, and similar activities necessary or appropriate for the proper operation of the Services. There are gaps in coverage within the Services area shown on Company’s coverage maps. Company may block access to certain numbers or websites in its sole discretion and may refuse to transmit any information prior to its delivery to Subscriber. Company may change Subscriber’s Unit’s software or programming remotely and without notice, which could affect data in the unit. Services are furnished for Subscriber’s own use and not for resale. Subscriber consents to the disclosure of his name and number when Subscriber uses the Services, e.g. Caller ID. Orders for activating, changing, or termination of services and this Agreement will be accepted by the Company as requested by Subscriber and will be effective when accepted by Company. Subscriber has no proprietary or ownership or other types of rights to or interest in the Services nor any telephone number, personal identification number, e-mail address or other identifier (except as allowed by applicable law) that Company assigns Subscriber, except as to the rights for Subscriber to port the phone number as allowed by applicable law, and Company shall have the right to change telephone number, e-mail address, personal identification number or other identifier assignments from time to time by giving prior notice to Subscriber. Each telephone number can only appear in one Unit and for one IMEI. Company reserves the right to impose a portage fee as permitted by applicable law. Company is not responsible for the installation, operation and quality of transmission or reception or for the maintenance of Subscriber’s Unit. Subscriber is responsible for ensuring that the Unit is technically and operationally compatible with the Company’s system and is in conformance with all applicable laws. Subscriber agrees not to use either the Unit or the Services for any unlawful or abusive purpose or in such a way as to create damage or risk to Company’s business, system, reputation, employees, facilities, third parties, to the public generally or to interfere with the Services. Subscriber accepts the Services with these limitations.
IMEI REGISTRATION
The International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) associated with the Unit or Equipment used by Subscriber will be registered as part of this Agreement. In the event such Unit or Equipment is traded or replaced, Company must be notified and the Unit or Equipment modified as may be required in order to continue the provisions of Services.
TERMS, CONDITIONS AND RATES
(a) THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SERVICES PLAN SELECTED BY SUBSCRIBER ARE A PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(b) The initial minimum term of this Agreement and the selected Services Plan (“plan”) will commence on the Activation Date (when Subscriber’s Unit first has access to the Services) and continue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Subscriber expressly agrees to maintain Services with Company for the minimum term of the selected Plan. Subscriber agrees to pay the rates for the selected Plan and all other charges for or resulting from the Services provided under this Agreement. If Subscriber changes Services or selected Plan (e.g. by accepting a promotion), Subscriber will be subject to any Company requirements including a new minimum term. The first month’s Services charge under the selected Plan, any Unit and one-time charges are payable upon Subscriber’s execution of this Agreement.
EXCESSIVE USE OUTSIDE HOME AREA
Customer acknowledges that excessive roaming usage for talk, text and/or data outside the Company’s Home Service Area as indicated by coverage maps may require cancellation of service. If Customer’s usage outside the Home Service Area is excessive, Company reserves the option to cancel Customer’s service.
PLAN TERM (LENGTH), TERMINATION AND TERMINATION FEES
For contract plans, Subscriber may terminate a Monthly Services Plan (i.e. plans that are month to month) at any time by giving written notice to Company, which shall be effective no later than the end of the monthly billing cycle in which such notice is received. In the case of all other Services Plans, Subscriber agrees to the minimum term applicable under the selected Plan. For plans other than the Monthly Services Plans, Services will automatically continue and renew at the end of the initial minimum term. Subscriber may change to any other Plan, providing, however, that Subscriber shall remain obligated under the new Plan for the original minimum term. Should this change be made during the original Plan, Subscriber agrees if this change would have affected the cost of the Unit received from the Company under the selected Plan, Subscriber will pay any difference. Some plans include usage allotments that once depleted will automatically renew for an additional charge; overage refills must be used in billing period in which allowance is provided or they will be forfeited. Subscriber may terminate this Agreement under any Plan other than the Monthly Services Plans during the initial minimum term upon payment to Company of a maximum of $99 as an EARLY TERMINATION FEE (as applicable for the selected Plan) for each individual service terminated as provided in the selected Plan, plus other changes authorized by this Agreement; Subscriber shall remain obligated under the terms of this Agreement for all outstanding charges on any terminated account, including cost of equipment. New first-time Subscriber may cancel this Agreement without payment of the early termination fee upon written notice received by Company within 14 days of the Activation Date and Subscriber returns the Unit in like-new condition in the original packaging with all accessories. A $25 restocking fee will apply. If the equipment is not returned, Customer will be charged for that equipment at Company’s retail cost. Subscriber remains responsible for payment of all usage fees and charges, taxes and fees, and prorated access fees. For no minimum month-to-month term plans, service is considered terminated if payment is not received by Company on the first day of the new billing cycle.
AIRTIME, ACCESS, USAGE, ROAMING, ROAMING CHARGES AND OTHER CHARGES AND FEES
Charges may vary depending on where the wireless is when Service is initiated or received. Roaming occurs whenever Subscriber initiates or receives Service using a transmission site outside his home rate and coverage area, or using another carrier’s transmission site; Unit may sometimes connect to and roam on another carrier’s network even when Subscriber is within Company’s rate and coverage area or local service area. Billing for Services used while off the Company’s network may be delayed, i.e. with another carrier. Delayed airtime and/or other Service charges will be applied in the month received and will be charged against that month’s allotment provided in the Subscriber’s Service Plan. If a Service is disconnected by Company’s network in Company’s home area for any reason, attempt again; if the same Service is attempted and answers within five minutes, call 611 within 90 days for a one-minute airtime credit, the Subscriber Plan charges by attempt. These are Subscriber’s only rights for dropped or similar interrupted services.
DATA USE TERMS, CONDITIONS
Company does not have specific hard limits on data transfer with Services, but Company does not allow completely unlimited consumption of metered data usage on the telecommunications services utilized and provided by the Services. Except as may otherwise be specifically permitted or prohibited for select data plans, data sessions may be conducted only for the following purposes: (i) Internet browsing; (ii) email; and (iii) intranet access. Usage that would be unreasonable or prohibited for a cellular handset includes, but is not limited to, computer tethering, server devices or host computer applications, automated machine-to-machine connections or peer-to-peer file sharing, full-time or primary data connections, “spam” or unsolicited bulk email distribution, activity that adversely affects the ability of other people or systems to use Company’s wireless services or other Internet services, accessing or attempting to penetrate security measures of Company’s or another provider’s network or system. Company monitors metered data usage and consumption patterns for all Subscribers. If Subscriber uses Services, including metered data usage, for unlawful purposes or in a manner as determined by Company in its sole discretion which causes excessive metered data usage or causes network capacity issues or affects Company’s provision of Services, operation or capacity of related equipment and software, overall network performance, or other Subscriber’s Services, Company may require in its sole discretion that Subscriber cease or alter these activities and usage. Company alone decides, in its sole discretion,
3
what constitutes an allowable use of metered data usage. Accordingly, Company reserves the right to (i) deny, disconnect, modify and/or terminate Service, without notice, to anyone it believes is using the Service in any manner prohibited or whose usage adversely impacts its wireless network or service levels or hinders access to its wireless network, including without limitation, after a significant period of inactivity or after sessions of excessive usage and (ii) otherwise protect its wireless network from harm, compromised capacity or degradation in performance, which may impact legitimate data flows.
FEMTOCELL PLAN
A femtocell must be used at all times at the address provided by Subscriber when activated. If the device is moved to a different address, Company must be informed 10 days before move to update records. All 9-1-1 services are provided by Company’s macro network and enhanced 9-1-1 services are not guaranteed using the femtocell network. Data and/or voice usage may be rated differently when using the femtocell network. Femtocells may be limited to a specific number of simultaneous data and/or voice sessions. Femtocell device must be returned to Company within 10 business days of canceling service. Failure to return device will result in cost of device billed to Subscriber’s account. Service activation may take up to 72 hours. Femtocell Service is dependent on the Subscriber-provided broadband service and the Company may not be held liable for any issues with the Subscriber-provided broadband service. All other General Terms and Conditions of the Subscriber Agreement, including but not limited to all disclaimers of warranties, limitations of liability of Company, and limitations of remedies apply.
FIXED WIRELESS
Fixed Wireless service requires a one-year contract. Payment of first month’s service charge and cost of equipment purchase or lease required to initiate service. Speeds are not guaranteed and are subject to terrain, weather and network conditions. Company reserves right to modify speeds based on time of day or network load. Unlimited usage does not mean unreasonable usage.
RIGHTS OF COMPANY TO MAKE CHANGES
Company may change or modify any terms, conditions, usage allowances or limits, rates, fees, expenses or charges regarding Services at any time, including any or all Services and Plan charges and other terms and conditions for the use of the Services, the selected Plan and this Agreement, including the geographical coverage of the Services for any reason, and Company may terminate this Agreement in Company’s sole discretion for any reason, and such changes or termination shall automatically and without written amendment or prior notice become part of this Agreement unless otherwise prohibited by law. Changes that increase the price (except as noted below) of Subscriber’s selected Plan will be effective upon disclosure to Subscriber prior to the billing cycle in which the changes would go into effect. If Company increases the charges of any of the Services beyond the limits set forth in Service Plan, or materially decreases the geographical area in which Service Plan rate applies (other than a temporary decrease for repairs or maintenance), Company will disclose the change at least one billing cycle in advance (through a notice with bill or otherwise), and Subscriber may terminate this Agreement without paying any termination fee, provided notice of termination is delivered to Company within twenty-one (21) days after the first invoice reflecting the change is mailed. Termination will be effective upon Company’s actual receipt of the notice of termination and Subscriber shall remain responsible for all charges incurred through the date of termination. Charges excluded in this right to terminate are those over which company has no control. Company may increase any applicable Federal, State or other governmental sales, use, excise, public utility or other taxes, fees and charges, plus fees or charges imposed on Company or Subscriber as a result of providing the Services or the Unit to the Subscriber without notice to Subscriber and such taxes, fees, and charges are due upon imposition by Company.

Subscriber may, at the option of Company in accordance with applicable tariffs (if any), be charged check fees and other expenses as permitted by other applicable law for each check and draft or other payment method returned not paid for any reason. Inquiries about or objections to invoices must be in writing and must be received by Company no later than the due date set forth in the invoice or such other time as required by applicable law; PROVIDED, however, all amounts due Company, including disputed amounts, must be paid Company or on before the due date set forth in the invoice unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law.
