These Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”) are part of your service agreement with the telecommunications service provider of AMERICANA CELLULAR , , UVNV, Inc. d/b/a PLUM, including its affiliates, assigns, and agents (“we,” “us, or “our”) and constitute a contract under which we provide you Service under terms and conditions that you accept. Your service agreement (“Agreement”) with us includes (i) these T&Cs, (ii) our Privacy Policy, (iii) our Acceptable Use Policy, (iv) any subscriber agreement or transaction materials that you sign or accept, (v) the service plan(s) that you choose as set forth in our written services and transaction materials that we provide or refer you to during the sales transaction (if your service plan is not specifically set forth in any printed materials, the requirements and terms set forth in the current written services and transaction materials apply, excluding plan charges and number of minutes included in your service plan), (vi) any confirmation materials that we may provide to you, (vii) the terms set forth in any applicable coverage map brochures, and (viii) any other supplemental terms and conditions that we provide or otherwise make available to you. In the event of a conflict between these T&Cs and any other materials that makeup the Agreement, these T&Cs shall govern to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.
They cover important information about our services provided to you (“Service”); your phone, handset, device, SIM card, data card, or other equipment or third party device used with our Service (“Device”); and any access and usage charges, taxes, fees, assessments, and other charges we bill you or that were accepted or processed through your Device (“Charges”). These T&Cs include terms regarding service plan changes and late payments, limitations of liability, privacy and resolution of disputes by arbitration instead of in court.
You and any authorized users on your account will have access to account information and may be able to make changes to the account. If you give your personal account validation information to someone, they can access and make changes to your account. Those changes will be binding on you. Authorized changes may require your agreement to new T&Cs.
You represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years old [twenty-one (21) years old or legally emancipated if you are a Puerto Rico customer] and you are legally authorized to enter into this Agreement. You accept your Agreement by doing any of the following: (a) giving us a written or electronic signature, or telling us orally that you accept; (b) activating Service; (c) using your Service after you make a change or addition; or (d) paying for the Service or a Device (a Device purchased from us, an authorized dealer, or other authorized retailer (“Dealer”)). IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT, DO NOT DO ANY OF THESE THINGS.
YOU AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW (AND EXCEPT AS TO PUERTO RICO CUSTOMERS), ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR DISPUTES IN ANY WAY RELATED TO OR CONCERNING THE AGREEMENT, OUR SERVICE, MARKETING PRACTICES, DEVICES OR PRODUCTS, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL, NON-REPRESENTATIVE, BASIS. This includes any claims against other parties relating to Service or Devices provided or billed to you (such as our suppliers, Dealers or third party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding. This also includes any claims brought after your service agreement with us terminates. For the avoidance of doubt, claims under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act are subject to this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Clause. You also agree that the Agreement affects interstate commerce so that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply (despite the choice of law provision in Section 22). THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. THE ARBITRATOR MUST FOLLOW THIS AGREEMENT AND CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES).
For all disputes (except for Puerto Rico customers), you must first give us an opportunity to resolve your claim by sending a written description and supporting documentation of your claim to the address set forth in Section 12 below. You agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. If You are unable to resolve the claim within sixty (60) days after we receive your claim description and supporting documentation, you may pursue your claim in arbitration. As an alternative to arbitration, we may choose to resolve billing disputes in small claims court in the county of your most recent billing address. You agree that if you fail to timely pay amounts due, we may assign your account for collection, and the collection agency may pursue, in small claims court, claims limited strictly to the collection of the past due amounts and any interest or cost of collection permitted by law or the Agreement.
Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. You must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent (see Section 12) to begin arbitration. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will arbitrate all disputes. For claims of less than Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00), the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply; for claims over Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00), the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org. Upon filing of the arbitration demand, you will share equally with us all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for claims that total less than Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00). For claims that total more than Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00), the payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys’ fees. Puerto Rico customers: Refer to Section 11 for details of the Puerto Rico Telecommunications Dispute Procedure.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Neither you, nor any other customer, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding against us.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER. If a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration,YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
You may cancel any Service plan that you pay for in advance at any time; provided that, except as otherwise required by applicable law, you will not receive any refund of amounts paid to us in connection with such Service plan (regardless of whether such plan is a 30-day Service plan or a multi-month Service plan).
This provision is subject to requirements and limitations imposed by applicable law,and will not be enforced to the extent prohibited by law. Your Service is subject to our business policies, practices, and procedures, which we can change without notice. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE OR MODIFY THESE T&Cs, OUR SERVICES, DISCOUNTS, TECHNOLOGIES (INCLUDING CHANGES TO OUR NETWORK THAT MAY IMPACT YOUR DEVICE’S COMPATIBILITY), COVERAGE, OR ANY OTHER TERMS IN THE AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL SUCH CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS ON THE EARLIER OF WHEN WE (i) POST THEM ON OUR INTERNET WEBSITE, OR (ii) SEND THEM TO YOU (ELECTRONICALLY OR OTHERWISE). BECAUSE THESE T&Cs ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK OUR WEBSITE FOR THE MOST CURRENT VERSION. IF WE CHANGE THE SERVICE FEE APPLICABLE TO YOUR SERVICE PLAN, YOU WILL HAVE 5 DAYS FROM THE DATE WE POST OR NOTIFY YOU OF THE REVISED SERVICE FEE TO TERMINATE YOUR SERVICE PLAN BY (i) contacting our customer service department at legal@ultra.me, (ii) calling (855) 785-5661, or (iii) managing your account preferences on the website [INSERT HYPERLINK]. IF YOU FAIL TO CANCEL YOUR SERVICE PLAN WITHIN THE 5 DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE RATE INCREASE. ANY INCREASE IN TAXES, REGULATORY FEES OR ASSESSMENTS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AN INCREASE IN ANY SERVICE FEE AND WILL NOT ENTITLE YOU TO EXERCISE THE FOREGOING CANCELLATION RIGHT. WE ARE NOT LIABLE TO YOU FOR CHANGES IN OPERATION, EQUIPMENT, OR TECHNOLOGY (INCLUDING THE NETWORK) THAT CAUSE YOUR DEVICE TO BE RENDERED OBSOLETE OR REQUIRE MODIFICATION.
You must use a supported, compatible Device to access the network on which the Services operate. Only certain phones and tablet computers are supported Devices. We will provide you with a list of supported Devices upon your request. Modems, bypass, gateways, automated relay devices and any other Devices used for commercial or re-direction purposes are not supported Devices and violate our Acceptable Use Policy. Failure to use a supported, compatible Device when accessing our network will result in immediate termination of your Service.
Coverage maps only approximate our anticipated wireless coverage area outdoors; actual Service area, coverage and quality may vary and change without notice depending on a variety of factors including network capacity, terrain and weather. Outages and interruptions in Service may occur, and speed of Service varies. You agree we are not liable for problems relating to Service availability or quality.
When making a 9-1-1 call, always state the nature of your emergency and provide both your location and phone number, as the operator may not automatically receive this information. We are not responsible for failures to connect or complete 9-1-1 calls or if inaccurate location information is provided. 9-1-1 service may not be available or reliable and your ability to receive emergency services may be impeded. We or our network supplier may use a variety of information and methods to determine the location of a 9-1-1 call, including Global Positioning Satellites, our network supplier’s wireless network, the street address you have provided us as your primary use location (“Primary Address”), or other information. Even with this information, an emergency operator may not be able to locate you in order to provide emergency services. Other third-party entities are involved in connecting a 9-1-1 call and neither us nor our network supplier determines the public safety agency to which your 9-1-1 call is routed. If you are porting a phone number to or from us, we may not be able to provide you with some Services, such as 9-1-1 location services, while the port is being implemented. If you are porting a phone number to us, it is your obligation and responsibility to make certain that all information forwarded from the port-out carrier is accurate and complete. If you dial 9-1-1 while outside the U.S., 9-1-1 services may not be available.
8.1 General. Your Service will operate only after you have purchased and redeemed a Service plan. Please visit our website at https://americanacellular.com for the latest information regarding our Service plans.
8.2 Charges. You agree to pay all charges we bill you or that were accepted or processed through your Device or on such other Devices connected with your account and as designated in your Service plan. For disputed charges, see Section 11. You agree to provide us with accurate and complete billing information and to immediately report to us all changes to your billing information.
8.3 Voice Usage. Our Service plans include a voice plan as part of your Service. We round up any fraction of a minute to the next full minute. Airtime usage is measured from the time the network provider begins to process a call (before the phone rings or the call is answered) through its termination of the call (after you hang up) and the network disconnects.
8.4 Data Usage and Messaging. Our Service plans include a data plan (“Data Plan”) as part of your Service. Data usage is rounded up to the next full kilobyte increment at the end of each data session. For all Service plans, 1 gigabyte of data is equivalent to 1 gigabyte of data. Your data usage includes, among other things, text, web browsing, instant or picture messages, and email whether read or unread, sent or received, solicited or unsolicited. We use filters to block spam messages, but we do not guarantee that you will not receive spam or other unsolicited messages, and we are not liable for such messages. All data purchased with a Service plan (both data that comes with a particular Service plan and any additional data you purchase as an add-on), will expire immediately upon termination of your Service plan for any reason.
8.5 Permissible and Prohibited Uses. Your Data Plan is intended for Web browsing, messaging, and similar activities on your Device. Examples of prohibited uses can be found in Section 14 of these T&Cs and in our Acceptable Use Policy.
8.6 Data Usage Level. We have set a 30-day 5G and/or 4G LTE usage level (“Usage Level”) for each of our Service plans. Our network supplier measures your upload and download data usage (“Actual Usage”) to determine if your total Actual Usage, as aggregated over the applicable 30-day period (“Usage Total”), exceeds the 30-day Usage Level for the Service plan you selected. Partial megabytes are rounded up. Please note that “Actual Usage” includes all of your requests to upload or download data, whether or not such data is actually uploaded or downloaded, as well as network overhead. For example, if you request that an image be downloaded to your Device but travel outside of your network coverage area before the download is complete, such request will be included in your Actual Usage even though the image was never downloaded to your Device. If you exceed your Service plan’s 30-day Usage Level, we will reduce the speed at which you can send and receive data over the network on which the Service operates until the end of the applicable 30-day period. The initial reduction in your data speed depends upon your Service plan and can be found in our FAQs. We may also reduce speeds during times of network congestion. If you continue to send and/or receive a substantial amount of data (as determined by us in our sole discretion) after our initial reduction of your data speed, we may further reduce your data speed. Once you begin a new 30-day period in your Service plan, your Service plan Usage Level will be reset and your upload and download speeds will be restored. For example, if a customer purchases a Service plan that includes unlimited data service, but only includes up to 1 gigabyte of high speed data at 5G and/or 4G LTE speeds during a given 30-day period, then the first gigabyte of data requested by that customer in that 30-day period will be provided at up to 5G and/or 4G LTE speeds (subject to 5G and 4G LTE network availability, a capable device and SIM card within an appropriate coverage area, and the actual network speeds of the network supplier on which the Service operates). Any data uploaded or downloaded by that customer in excess of 1 gigabyte will be provided at reduced speeds at a max of 128 kbps. Please be aware that your Usage Level is much more likely to exceed your Service plan’s 30-day Usage Level if you use it for streaming video, or if you download significant quantities of music files, movies, software applications, or engage in other high-bandwidth activities.
8.7 Protective Measures. To provide a good experience for most of our customers and minimize capacity issues and degradation in network performance, we may take measures including temporarily reducing data throughput for a subset of customers who use a disproportionate amount of bandwidth. If you use your Data Plan in a manner that could interfere with other customers’ service, affect our ability to allocate network capacity among customers, or degrade service quality for other customers, we may suspend, terminate, or restrict your data session, or switch you to a more appropriate Data Plan which may result in an increased cost. We also manage our network to facilitate the proper functioning of services that require consistent high speeds, such as video calling, which may, particularly at times and in areas of network congestion, result in reduced speeds for other services. Additionally, we may implement other network management practices, such as caching less data, using less capacity, sizing video more appropriately for a Device to transmit data files more efficiently, and deploying streaming video optimization technology, which may affect the performance and download times of data-heavy activities such as video-streaming on our unlimited plans. Streaming video optimization technology is intended to manage data usage on the network, reduce the risk of streaming video stalling and buffering, and reduce the amount of high-speed data consumption used for streaming video. Streaming video optimization improves streaming video reliability as well as makes room for other users to enjoy higher browsing speeds. Detectable video may typically stream at DVD quality or Standard Definition. The streaming video optimization process is agnostic as to the streaming video content itself and to the website that provides it. While most changes to streaming video files are likely to be indiscernible, the optimization process may minimally impact the appearance of the streaming video as displayed on your Device. These practices operate without regard to the content itself or the source of the content, and do not discriminate against offerings that might compete against those offered by us on the basis of such competition.
8.8 Wi-Fi Features. In our sole discretion, we may make available Wi-Fi voice and text messaging services, i.e., the ability to originate and terminate calls and text messages over a Wi-Fi connection (“Wi-Fi Calling”). If offered by us, Wi-Fi Calling will only be available for our customers that (i) have a Wi-Fi capable Device with Wi-Fi Calling capability supported by us, (ii) have Wi-Fi Calling service provisioned on their account, (iii) have a compatible SIM card, and (iv) are connected to functioning third-party internet service. Not all services available on our supplier’s network are available while using Wi-Fi Calling. For example, emergency alerts may not be available with Wi-Fi Calling. You acknowledge that calling 9-1-1 via Wi-Fi Calling uses the internet and operates differently than traditional 9-1-1 (see our complete 9-1-1 disclosure posted on our website at [INSERT HYPERLINK]. For example, 9-1-1 may not work during power or internet outages or disruptions, or if internet or your Service is suspended. Location information when using Wi-Fi Calling may be limited or unavailable. If we make Wi-Fi Calling available to you, you must provide us with your up-to-date, primary address. If the location at which you primarily use Wi-Fi Calling changes, either temporarily or permanently, you must promptly update your address with us. You may provide us with your primary address, or update your primary address, by contacting us at the email address, telephone number or mailing address specified in Section 12. If you do not provide us with your primary address and update it promptly as described above, we or our network supplier may block your usage of certain Wi-Fi Networks. When you call 9-1-1 over Wi-Fi away from your primary address, we and our network supplier may have no or very limited information about your location. Neither us nor our network supplier is responsible or liable for anything related to your use of or inability to use any Wi-Fi Calling MADE AVAILABLE TO you, including, without limitation, any failure of emergency calls (whether 9-1-1 calls or otherwise). Wi-Fi Calling may decrement Service plan minutes. Most devices will not transition between Wi-Fi and the wireless network. Devices using wireless connections may be vulnerable to unauthorized attempts to access data and software stored on the device.
8.9 Downloadable Content and Applications. Content or applications (e.g., downloadable or networked applications, wallpapers, ringtones, games, and productivity tools) (collectively, “Content & Apps”) that you can purchase with your Device are not sold by us. We are not responsible for the Content & Apps, including download, installation, use, transmission failure, interruption, or delay, or any content or website you may be able to access through the Content & Apps. Unless otherwise stated, any support questions for these Content & Apps may be directed to the third party seller. When you use, download or install Content & Apps sold by a third-party seller, you may be subject to license terms, terms of use, a privacy policy and/or other policies between you and that third-party. Content & Apps you purchase from third parties are licensed for personal, lawful, non-commercial use on your Device only. You may not transfer, copy, or reverse engineer any Content & Apps, or alter, disable or circumvent any digital rights management security features embedded in the Content & Apps. Content & Apps may not be transferable from one Device to another Device. Some Devices or Content & Apps may continue to have contact with our network without your knowledge, which may result in additional charges, for example, while roaming internationally. Software on your Device may automatically shut down or limit the use of Content & Apps or other features or Services without warning. We are not responsible for any third-party content, advertisements, or websites you may be able to access using your Device.
8.10 Use of Information. If you visit any third-party website or app store, or download or use any Content & Apps, the third party may access, collect, use or disclose your personal information or require the network carrier to disclose your information,[{{type}} Annotation] including location information (when applicable) to the Content & Apps provider or some other third party. If you access or use any Content & Apps through our Service, you agree and authorize us and our network carrier to provide information related to such use. You understand that your use of a third party app is subject to the third party’s terms and conditions and policies, including its privacy policy. Please refer to the Content & Apps creator/owner’s privacy policy for information regarding their use of information collected when you download, install, or use any third-party Content & Apps. We are not responsible for any transmission failure, interruption, or delay related to Content & Apps, or any content or website you may be able to access through the Content & Apps.
8.11 Roaming. Your Device may connect to another provider’s network (“Roaming”) even when you are within the coverage area. Check your Device to determine if you are Roaming. There may be extra charges (including long-distance, tolls, data usage) and higher rates for Roaming usage, and your quality and availability of service may vary significantly. Our Roaming charges and rates are subject to change at any time and any such changes are effective forty-five (45) days after the posting of same to our website. Please check our website frequently so that you are aware of our Roaming charges and rates and any changes thereto.
8.12 Suspension and Cancellation. If your account is deactivated due to nonpayment, your account will be in a suspended status for 60 days. If your account is not reactivated within the 60-day period, it will be cancelled. If your account is cancelled, your remaining balance will be forfeited, and we may reassign the phone number associated with your account. If you wish to port to a different carrier, you must have an active account.
9.1 General. All international long-distance services included in your Service are handled by a third-party and are delineated on your invoices separately from the services provided by us.
9.2 International roaming credits. Your Service plan may include international roaming credits (“Credits”) that you can use for international roaming minutes or data without additional charge. The number of Credits that you receive in connection with your Service plan may be determined by us in our sole discretion, and additional details are available on our website. We may allow you to store Credits in your account for use at a later time. When your balance of Credits is zero, unless you add Credits to your account, you will not be able to use international roaming Service. Please be aware that except as provided by these Terms and Conditions, we will be under no obligation to offer any refunds or reimbursements for Credits that you receive from us. Credits will be reclaimed by us should your account be terminated for any reason.
9.3 International texts. “Global Text” and “Unlimited Global Text” means text or unlimited text only to applicable mobile-to-mobile destinations, and excludes audio, picture, and video messaging. Data usage rates and charges may apply if you send audio, pictures, and/or video messages to an international mobile-to-mobile destination.
You are responsible for, and shall pay, the taxes, fees and surcharges set forth in Sections 10.1 – 10.5 below (“Taxes, Fees and Surcharges”) in connection with your Service account. Such Taxes, Fees and Surcharges will be included in your Service account charges (a) at the time you order the Service and (b) each time there are any further charges to your Service account. Payment of Taxes, Fees and Surcharges is in addition to payment for the Service and will be billed to your credit card.
10.1 Recovery Fee. The Recovery Fee is assessed to help recover our costs to comply with various federal and state programs, taxes and fees including, but not limited to, (i) state and federal Telecommunications Relay Service Programs, (ii) Federal Universal Service Fund Program, (iii) international, federal, state, municipal, local and/or other governmental franchise, excise, public utility and other telecommunications taxes, fees and charges now in force or enacted in the future, and (iv) other costs we incur to comply with government regulations and programs, which are not taxes or fees that local, state or federal governments require us to collect. For all Service plans, the Recovery Fee is calculated as a flat per transaction fee of $0.50 for service charges of $10.00 or less, and $1.00 for service charges of $10.01 or more. A flat fee per transaction of 2.5% will also be applied to the purchase of pre-funded SIM cards at AMERICANA CELLULAR help recover other administrative fees. Although added to the overall charge, the Recovery Fee is separate from the cost of Service and the Recovery Fee shall not result in the purchase of any additional Service time. We set the Recovery Fee, and the amount and what the Recovery Fee includes may change without notice.
10.2 Federal Universal Service Fund Fee. The Federal Universal Service Fund Fee is designed to recover our contribution to the Federal Universal Service Fund program. The Federal Universal Service Fund Fee is used to fund programs to increase access to advanced telecommunications services for consumers in rural areas at reasonable rates and provides federal program funding. Rate may change as determined by the Federal Communications Commission. The Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”) establishes a quarterly contribution factor, and we charge our customers the then-applicable rate charged to us by USAC.
10.3 State Universal Service Fund Fees. The State Universal Service Fund Fee is designed to recover our contribution to various state universal service fund programs. The State Universal Service Fund Fee is assessed as a percentage of intrastate revenues, gross revenues, or as a flat rate per line as set forth by the various state, county or municipal jurisdiction. Certain state agencies establish a quarterly, semi-annual or annual contribution factor, and we may choose to charge our customers to recoup the state universal service fund fees charged to us
10.4 Sales and Use Taxes. Sales and use taxes are assessed to allow us to recover the cost of all federal, state, municipal, local or other governmental sales and use taxes now in force or enacted in the future, that arise as a result of your subscription to, use of, or payment for the Service. To determine sales and use taxes, we will use the street address you identified as your Place of Primary Use (“PPU”). The PPU for Puerto Rico must be in Puerto Rico. If you did not identify the correct PPU, or if you provided an address (such as a PO box) that is not a recognized street address, does not identify the applicable taxing jurisdictions or does not reflect the Service area associated with your telephone number, you may be assigned a default location for tax purposes. In the event of a disputed tax jurisdiction location being assigned, any tax refund must be requested within sixty (60) days of our notification to you that the tax has been assessed.
10.5 9-1-1 Fees. Each state, city, municipality, or county has specific charges that are levied for access to 9-1-1. Determination of the applicable 9-1-1 charges depends on where you purchase the Service. We may bill its customers for 9-1-1 charges. Any such 9-1-1 charges are a monthly recurring charge assessed on a per line basis and will appear on your monthly invoice.
11.1 Unless otherwise provided by law, you agree to notify us of any dispute regarding your bill or charges to your account within sixty (60) days (twenty (20) days for Puerto Rico customers) after the date you first receive the disputed bill or charge. If you do not notify us of your dispute in writing with supporting documentation within this time period, you may not pursue a claim in arbitration or in court. Except for Puerto Rico customers and unless otherwise provided by law, you must pay disputed charges until the dispute is resolved. If you accept a credit, refund or other compensation or benefit to resolve a disputed bill or charge, you agree that the issue is fully and finally resolved. For unresolved disputes see Section 2 above. To contact or notify us, see Section 12. This paragraph is notice to Puerto Rico customers that payment of undisputed charges is due when stated on your bill, regardless of any dispute.
11.2 Puerto Rico Customers. We will provide you with a determination regarding any dispute that is presented to us in accordance with this Section 11 within fifteen (15) days after we receive it. You may appeal our determination to the Telecommunications Board of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (“Telecommunications Board”) by filing a petition for review up to thirty (30) days after the date of our determination. Your petition for review shall be made through the filing of a document containing the following information: (i) your name and address; (ii) our company name; (iii) the pertinent facts; (iv) any applicable legal provisions that you are aware of; and (v) the remedy you are requesting.

After your Service is suspended, you will not be responsible for additional usage charges incurred in excess of your Service plan charges, and applicable Taxes and Surcharges. If you request that we not suspend your Service, you will remain responsible for all usage and charges incurred and applicable Taxes and Surcharges. We may prevent a lost or stolen Device from registering on any network. California customers: For charges incurred before you notify us, you are not liable for charges you did not authorize, but the fact that your Device or account was used is some evidence of authorization. You may request that we investigate charges you believe were unauthorized. We may ask you to provide information and you may submit information to support your request. If we determine the charges were unauthorized, we will credit your account. If we determine the charges were authorized, we will inform you within thirty (30) days and you will remain responsible for the charges.

You agree not to misuse the Service or Device, including but not limited to: (a) reselling or rebilling our Service; (b) using the Service or Device to engage in unlawful activity, or in conduct that adversely affects our customers, employees, business, or any other person(s), or that interferes with our operations, network, reputation, or ability to provide quality service, including but not limited to the generation or dissemination of viruses, malware or “denial of service” attacks; (c) using the Service as a substitute or backup for private lines or dedicated data connections; (d) using the Service for continuous, mobile to mobile or mobile to landline voice calls; (e) using the Service for automated text or picture messaging to another mobile device or email address; (f) uploading, downloading or streaming of continuous video or audio; (g) tampering with or modifying your Device; (h) “spamming” or engaging in other abusive or unsolicited communications, or any other mass, automated voice or data communication for commercial or marketing purposes; (i) reselling Devices for profit, or tampering with, reprogramming or altering Devices for the purpose of reselling the Device; (j) using the Service in connection with server devices or host computer applications, including continuous Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, automated machine-to-machine connections, voice or SMS relay, or peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing; (k) accessing, or attempting to access without authority, the information, accounts or devices of others, or to penetrate, or attempt to penetrate, our’s or another entity’s network or systems; (l) running software or other devices that maintain continuously active Internet connections when a computer’s connection would otherwise be idle, or “keep alive” functions (e.g., using a Service plan for Web broadcasting, operating servers, telemetry devices and/or supervisory control and data acquisition devices); (m) using the Service to relay voice calls or text and picture messages not originated from the Device; or (n) assisting or facilitating anyone else in any of the above activities.

We reserve the right to cancel or deactivate Service or reduce data throughput speeds in order to protect its supplier’s network from harm or to protect itself from financial or other harm due to any cause including, without limitation, the excessive and/or unauthorized use of the Service. We reserve the right to limit throughput, or the amount of data transferred and to deny or terminate Service to anyone we believe is using their Service in an unauthorized manner or whose usage, in our sole discretion, adversely impacts its supplier’s network or customer service levels. We will presume you are engaging in an unauthorized use in violation of these T&Cs, if in our sole discretion, you are placing an abnormally high number of calls, or repeatedly placing calls of unusually long duration, or if your talk, text or data usage is harmful or disruptive to our supplier’s network or service levels or to our financial or other interests.

We may discontinue providing Service to you, discontinue your account, terminate data connections and/or reduce data throughput speeds if your usage, in our sole judgment: (i) appears likely to generate abnormally high call volumes or data usage and/or abnormally long average call lengths or data usage as compared to the usage of other customers of ours; or (ii) may be harmful or disruptive to, or interfere with, our supplier’s network, our service or the ability to provide quality service to other customers. By initiating Service and placing or receiving calls, you acknowledge and agree to our right to terminate your Service under these circumstances.
If we limit, suspend or terminate your Service and later reinstate your Service, you may be charged a reinstatement fee.
This paragraph constitutes notice to Puerto Rico customers that your Service may be suspended or cancelled if you engage in any of the foregoing actions in Sections 14 and 15 in accordance with the Puerto Rico Suspension Regulation 5940 of March 12, 1999, promulgated by the Telecommunications Board where applicable, or in our sole discretion.

PLEASE READ THIS DISCLOSURE CAREFULLY
The following sets forth the mobile service provider’s (“Provider”, “we”, “us”, “our”) 911 and E911 Disclosure (“Disclosure”) to its customers (“you” or “your”) when using voice over Wi-Fi.
The purpose of this Disclosure is to inform you of the limited 911 and E911 access capabilities available when using “Wi-Fi Calling,” the ability to place and receive calls and messages over a Wi-Fi network connection. Wi-Fi Calling is a feature available on only certain capable devices when connected to a functioning Wi-Fi network. For example, availability of Wi-Fi Calling may vary depending on the device manufacturer’s settings. You must set up Wi-Fi Calling through Provider.
This disclosure explains the limits of 911 emergency calling using Wi-Fi Calling as compared to the 911 access capability available with traditional telephone services (wireless or wired) including the traditional wireless telephone services offered by Provider on the Provider’s supplier’s network. It is important that you understand how these differences affect your ability to access 911 and E911 services. If a Wi-Fi network connection is lost during a call, any call may disconnect. We ask that you carefully read this Disclosure. If you have any questions or concerns about the information contained in this notice, or if you do not understand anything discussed in this notice, please contact your Provider or Provider’s customer support.
YOU MUST PROVIDE PROVIDER WITH THE MOST RECENT INFORMATION IDENTIFYING YOUR PHYSICAL LOCATION (YOUR “REGISTERED LOCATION”) WHEN SETTING UP WI-FI CALLING. THIS REGISTERED LOCATION CANNOT BE A P.O. BOX. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE AND UPDATE YOUR REGISTERED LOCATION, EMERGENCY PERSONNEL MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST YOU. FAILURE TO PROVIDE OR UPDATE YOUR REGISTERED LOCATION MAY PREVENT EMERGENCY SERVICES FROM BEING PROPERLY ROUTED TO YOUR PHYSICAL LOCATION.
When you dial 911 using the Wi-Fi 911 Service from your phone, handset, device, SIM card, data card, or other equipment or third-party device used with Wi-Fi Calling (“Device”), your call is routed from Provider’s supplier’s network to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) or local emergency operator designated for the address that you listed at the time you set up Wi-Fi calling on your Device. You acknowledge and understand that when you dial 911 from Device while utilizing the Wi-Fi 911 service, it is intended that you will be routed to the general telephone number for the PSAP or local emergency service provider (which may not be answered outside business hours in some areas) and may not be routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls using traditional 911 dialing. You acknowledge and understand that there may be a greater possibility that the general telephone number for the local service provider will be dropped, will produce a busy signal and/or will take longer to answer, as compared to those 911 calls routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls using traditional 911 dialing. Provider relies on third parties for the forwarding of underlying routing information, and Provider and its third-party provider(s) therefore disclaim any and all liability or responsibility in the event such information or routing is incorrect. You may update your Registered Location at any time through your Device’s Wi-Fi calling preferences. If you need additional assistance, please contact your Provider or Provider’s customer support.
PROVIDER’S WI-FI 911 SERVICE WILL NOT OPERATE IF YOUR WI-FI CONNECTION IS DISRUPTED. You acknowledge and understand that service outages or termination of service by your broadband provider and/or ISP or by Provider will prevent you from using Provider’s Wi-Fi calling service, including the Wi-Fi 911 Service. A service outage for any reason other than suspension of service will prevent you from using Provider’s Wi-Fi calling service, including the Wi-Fi 911 Service. Once your Wi-Fi connection and/or Wi-Fi calling service has been restored, you may be required to reset or reconfigure your Device and all other equipment before you will be able to use Provider’s Wi-Fi calling service to contact 911 and E911 services.
EMERGENCY PERSONNEL MAY NOT BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY YOUR PHONE NUMBER IN ORDER TO CALL YOU BACK WHEN USING THE WI-FI 911 SERVICE. You understand and acknowledge that it may not be possible for the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and the local emergency personnel to identify your phone number when you dial 911 using the Wi-Fi 911 Service. Provider’s system is configured in most instances to send the automated number identification information; however, one or more telephone companies route the traffic to the PSAP. The PSAP itself must be able to receive the information and pass it along properly, and the PSAPs may not be technically capable of doing so on a consistent basis. You acknowledge and understand that PSAP and emergency personnel may not be able to identify your phone number in order to call you back if the call cannot be completed, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are physically unable to tell them your phone number, and/or if your Wi-Fi 911 Service is not operational for any reason other than suspension of service.
WI-FI 911 SERVICE CALLS MAY BE DELAYED OR DROPPED DUE TO NETWORK ARCHITECTURE. You understand and acknowledge that, due to technical constraints, there is a greater possibility of network congestion, busy signals, dropped calls, delayed connection, and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 call made utilizing the E 911 Service as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks.
IN ADDITION, YOU SHOULD MAINTAIN ALTERNATE MEANS OF CONTACTING 911 AND E911 SERVICES, SUCH AS BY USING A TRADITIONAL PHONE (WIRED OR WIRELESS) WITHOUT WI-FI CALLING. You acknowledge that Provider does not offer primary line or lifeline services. You should always have an alternative means of accessing emergency response services using traditional 911 or other emergency notification services.
