About Data Services & Content
Our data Services and your Device may allow you to access the internet, text,
pictures, video, games, graphics, music, email, sound and other materials (“Data
Content”) or send Data Content elsewhere. Some Data Content is available from
us or our vendors, while other Data Content can be accessed from others (third
party Web sites, games, ringers, etc.). We make absolutely no guarantees about
the Data Content you access on your Device. Data Content may be: (1) unsuitable for
children/minors; (2) unreliable or inaccurate; or (3) offensive, indecent or objectionable.
You’re solely responsible for evaluating the Data Content accessed by you or anyone on
your account. We strongly recommend you monitor data usage by children/minors.
Data Content from third parties may also harm your Device or its software. To
protect our network, Services, or for other reasons, we may place restrictions on
accessing certain Data Content (such as certain Web sites, applications, etc.),
impose separate charges, limit throughput or the amount of data you can transfer,
or otherwise limit or terminate Services. If we provide you storage for Data
Content you have purchased, we may delete the Data Content with notice or place
restrictions/limits on the use of storage areas. You may not be able to make or
receive voice calls while using data Services.
Specific Terms & Restrictions On Using Data Services
In addition to the rules for using all of our other Services, unless we identify the
Service or Device you have selected as specifically intended for that purpose (for
example, wireless routers, Data Link, etc.), you can’t use our data Services: (1) with
server devices or host computer applications, or other systems that drive
continuous heavy traffic or data sessions; and (2) as a substitute or backup for
private lines or frame relay connections. We reserve the right to limit or suspend
any heavy, continuous data usage that adversely impacts our network
performance or hinders access to our network. If your Services include unlimited
Web or data access, you also can’t use your Device as a modem for computers or
other equipment, unless we identify the Service or Device you have selected as
specifically intended for that purpose (for example, with “phone as modem”
plans, Sprint Mobile Broadband card plans, wireless router plans, etc.).
Activation & Miscellaneous Charges
Based on our Policies, we may charge activation, prepayment, reactivation,
program or other fees to establish or maintain Services. Certain transactions may
also be subject to a charge (for example, convenience payment, changing phone
