Services Covered By These Ts&Cs & Additional Terms
These Ts&Cs apply to our standard wireless Services and any other Service we
offer you that references these Ts&Cs. Different terms will apply to most business
accounts. Additional terms will apply when you use certain Services, typically
those you can access online (for example, picture/video Services, online forums,
etc.). Additional terms will also apply if you activate Services as part of a bundle
with another company’s services (for example, cable services, home phone
services, etc.). The additional terms for bundled Services may either modify or
replace certain provisions in these Ts&Cs, including terms relating to activation,
invoicing/payment, and disputing charges. Also, a different dispute resolution
provision may apply to services provided by another company (the dispute
resolution provisions in this Agreement still apply to our Services). You will be
provided details on any additional terms with your selection of any bundled
Service.
Our Policies
Services are subject to our business policies, practices and procedures (“Policies”),
including, but not limited to, our Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy and
Visitor Agreement – both available at our Web site. You agree to all of our Policies
when you use our Services. Our Policies are subject to change at anytime with or
without notice.
When You Accept The Agreement
You must have the legal capacity to accept the Agreement. You accept the
Agreement when you do any of the following: (a) sign a contract with us on paper
or electronically; (b) accept Agreement through an oral or electronic statement; (c)
attempt to or in any way use the Services; (d) pay for the Services; or (e) open any
package or start any program that says you are accepting the Agreement when
doing so. If you don’t want to accept the Agreement, don’t do any of these things.
Term Commitments & Early Termination Fees
Many of the Services (for example, rate plans and Device discounts) that we offer
require you to maintain certain Services with us for a minimum term, usually 1 or
2 years (“Term Commitment”). You will be charged a fee (“Early Termination Fee”) for
each line of Service that you terminate early (i.e., prior to satisfying the Term
Commitment) or for each line of Service that we terminate early for good reason (for
example, violating the payment or other terms of the Agreement). Early Termination
Fees are a part of our rates. Your exact Term Commitment and Early Termination
