View Previous Versions →

Introduction

Your US Mobile Service is provided by US Mobile, Inc., including its affiliates, assigns and agents ("US Mobile," "USM," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms and Conditions ("T&Cs") are a contract under which we provide you Service. Your service Agreement with us includes: (i) these T&Cs, (ii) our Privacy Notice, (iii) our Acceptable Use Policy, (iv) our Mobile End User License Agreement, (v) any transaction materials that you sign or accept, (vi) any supplemental terms and conditions that may apply to any Service plan(s), Device(s) or other add-ons that you may purchase, (vii) any confirmation materials that we provide to you, (viii) any supplemental terms and conditions that we provide or make available to you, or (ix) any additional provisions linked to in any of the above material. In the event of a conflict between these T&Cs and any other materials that make up the Agreement, these T&Cs shall govern to resolve the conflict.
Please read these T&Cs carefully. They cover important information about the services we provide to you ("Service"); our privacy practices; any device, equipment and/or accessory for which we provide Services or which we may provide for use with our Service; any charges, taxes, fees, or other charges ("Charges") that we may bill you.
BY ACCEPTING THESE T&CS, YOU ARE AGREEING TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE WITH US THROUGH INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS DISPUTE PROCEDURES, AND YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED.

1. Acceptance

YOUR AGREEMENT WITH USM STARTS WHEN YOU ACCEPT. 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. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT, DO NOT DO ANY OF THESE THINGS.

2. Account Access

You must create an account at www.usmobile.com to purchase a plan and activate service. You are prohibited from creating and using false subscriber accounts to mask real identities. In addition, you are prohibited from creating multiple subscriber accounts to avoid USM's pricing, plans, discounts, or services. Any subscriber accounts without unique, accurate, and verifiable customer identity information are subject to immediate line suspension without refund or prior notice.

3. Activation and Assigned Phone Number

New plans must be activated within 90 days from the date of purchase, unless a shorter or longer period is offered as part of a promotion. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any plan or service that is not activated within 90 days.
The mobile phone number we provide is for your use while you are a customer. If you cancel your service or your account is deactivated, we may give your mobile phone number to another customer without notice (unless you transfer the mobile phone number to another telecommunications provider in accordance with applicable regulations). While we do not expect to change your mobile phone number, and such changes are rare, under certain circumstances, we may be required to change your mobile phone number; if we do so, however, we will notify you prior to any change.

4. Charges, Billing and AutoPay

4.1. General
You agree to pay all charges for any Service, Plan, Feature, Device, or add-on that you purchase, including Charges made by any person you permit to have direct or indirect access to your Device even if you did not authorize its use. These include, but are not limited to, (a) charges for monthly, multi-month or annual Service; (b) usage charges (if your plan includes metered usage); (c) charges for features and add-ons; (d) taxes, fees and other assessments imposed by the government that we are required to collect and remit to the government (to determine your primary place of use ("PPU") and which jurisdiction's taxes and assessments to collect, you are required to provide us with your street address; if you do not provide an address or it is outside our Service area, we will designate a PPU within the Service area for you and we may terminate your Service); (e) other fees and charges including activation, reactivation, prepayment, convenience payment, restocking, Device unlocking, SIM replacement, number change, express delivery, upgrade, program, or other fees, including specific transaction fees, relating to Services and Devices purchased from us and (f) surcharges that we collect and retain from our customers that include, but are not limited to, Federal or State Universal Service fees, regulatory charges, administrative fees, and government taxes or fees imposed on gross receipts, sales and/or property that we incur in providing Services to our customers. Surcharges are not taxes, and we are not required by the government to collect them from you. We determine the rate of these charges, and the amounts are subject to change.
4.2. Billing
USM billing cycles are measured on 30-day monthly cycles. Any products, plans, deals, or references to multi-month plans are measured and sold with the same 30-day monthly cycles including but not limited to service duration, talk, text and data allotments. A "twelve month", "annual", or "yearly" plan will be equivalent to twelve 30-day monthly cycles. Lines are required to keep Autopay on with a valid credit card on file to be provisioned for each subsequent month of service. Porting out from USM immediately forfeits any remaining days in your billing cycle. If a multi-month plan is discontinued, USM will notify you in advance so that you may select another plan.
4.3. AutoPay
You must enroll in automatic credit card billing, automatic payment, or electronic funds transfer plan and you authorize us or our agent to charge or place holds on the credit or debit card or financial institution account number you provide to us, without requiring a signed receipt. You certify you are the owner of the payment method, authorize us to store this information, and authorize us to automatically charge the amount of your monthly Service(s) each month on the date indicated in your online Account. You agree to provide us with updated credit or debit card or bank account information when needed by logging into your online Account or reaching customer care number available at www.usmobile.com/about-us. You acknowledge that, if your card-issuing bank participates in a card updater program and unless you opt out of this service, your bank may provide us with updated card numbers and expiration dates, and we will update our files with this information and continue to charge your card. You agree that we’re not responsible for any insufficient funds or other charges you might incur as a result of any attempts to charge or place holds on your credit or debit card or to transfer funds. When payment is made by credit or debit card, payment will also be subject to the terms and conditions established by the credit or debit card issuer. You can cancel your authorization for automatic credit-card billing, automatic payment, or electronic funds transfer by logging into your online Account or reaching customer care www.usmobile.com/about-us. If you cancel automatic billing, you may lose certain promotions or discounts and your account will be canceled if you do not provide a new method.
4.4. Recovery Fee
In addition to the charges for your Service, USM may impose a separate Recovery Fee ("RF") on certain plans. The RF is based on a sliding scale and can vary based on the plan selected. The RF is a discretionary fee collected and retained by USM to help recover and defray certain costs, including: 1) Federal and state regulatory fees associated with Universal Service programs, the provision of telecommunications services for the sight and hearing impaired, local number portability, and North American Numbering Plan administration; and 2) Administrative costs, fees and expenditures related to compliance with federal and state regulatory programs and annual FCC regulatory fee obligations; and 3) State and local transaction tax and 911 fee obligations associated with the provision of telecommunications services. The RF is not a government tax, or government-imposed fee.
4.5. Regulatory Activity
The charges payable by you for Services, including, without limitation any amounts due with respect to any applicable Mobile Device(s), Protection Plan or other Service Add-ons, are as provided in your service plan and these Terms of Service. Except as expressly provided in these Terms of Service or your service plan, USM may increase any applicable charges upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to you. All rates and charges are subject to change immediately if there is any Regulatory Activity. If any Regulatory Activity occurs, USM reserves the right, at any time with as much advance written notice as commercially reasonable and without liability to USM, to modify Services, charges, rates, promotions, terms and/or conditions of these Terms of Service to conform to such Regulatory Activity; or if such Regulatory Activity materially and adversely impairs the provision of Services, as determined by USM, terminate these Terms of Service.

5. Refunds

5.1. General
Subject to any applicable refund and/or return policies located on our website, you may cancel or we may terminate, suspend or adjust any Service. Except as required by applicable law and our Return Policy, you will not receive any refund of amounts paid by you to us in connection with any Service Plan. Refunds, if any, will be issued to the default payment method on file. For specific refund info, please see the Refund Policy located at www.usmobile.com/legal.
5.2. Activation Period
Unless a shorter or longer timeframe is specified in a promotion or offer, most Service Plans must be activated within 90 days. USM reserves the right to suspend or terminate any plan or service that is not activated within the applicable activation period. No refunds will be issued if you fail to activate your Service within the activation period.
5.3. Cancellation, Termination or Suspension of Service
You may cancel or we may terminate, suspend or adjust (in accordance with these T&Cs, our Acceptable Use Policy and the terms of any promotion or offer), any Service Plan that you purchase from us at any time. Except as otherwise required by law or our Return or Refund Policy, you will not receive any refund of any prepaid amounts paid to us in connection with any such Service plan.
5.4. Non-Refundable Purchases
Snooze plans, Top Ups, SIM card purchases, Starter Kits, and any Services rendered in a prior or completed billing cycle are non-refundable.

6. Service Plans

6.1. General
Your Service will operate only after you have activated your Service plan within 90 days of purchase. Your account may be canceled for: 1) any violation of these T&Cs or the Acceptable Use Policy, or 2) failure to renew your Plan for more than 90 days (which may also result in reassigning of your number if it has not been ported out).
6.2. Messaging
Your Service plan includes the ability to send and receive text (SMS), pictures or video (MMS), and/or Advanced Messaging (RCS) chat messages (collectively "Messages"). Apps that use other messaging protocols and over the top third-party messaging apps may incur data charges. USM does not guarantee delivery of Messages. Advanced Messaging will not work if messaging or data has been blocked on your line. Maximum limits on group message size apply depending on device mix and capabilities. Some elements of Messages may not be accessible, viewable, or heard due to limitations on certain wireless devices. USM reserves the right to change the Message size limit at any time without notification.
6.3. Data Usage and Plans
Data usage is rounded up to the next full-kilobyte increment at the end of each data session. Your mobile wireless data service usage includes, among other things, text, web browsing, instant or picture messages, and email whether read or unread, sent or received, solicited or unsolicited. All data purchased through a USM Service plan will expire immediately upon termination of your USM Service plan for any reason.
Our pooled data plans allow you to share a set amount of data across multiple devices and networks, for an additional fee. If you are subscribed to a USM unlimited data plan, you agree that "unlimited" means you pay a single monthly flat rate for wireless Data Service regardless of how much data you use. You further agree that "unlimited" does not mean that wireless data will be transmitted at any particular speed or that you can use USM’s wireless Data Service in any way that you choose or for any purpose that is prohibited under the Acceptable Use Policy. If you use your data plan in any manner that is prohibited, USM can limit, restrict, suspend or terminate your Data Service. USM may also reduce your data throughput speeds at any time based on the terms of your data plan, which may include times when your usage exceeds an applicable, identified data usage threshold during any monthly service period. Reduced data throughput speeds mean you may experience reduced data speeds and increased latency, which may cause websites to load more slowly and affect the performance of data-heavy activities such as video streaming. Reduced data throughput speeds apply when using Data Services at times and in areas experiencing network congestion compared to other customers using the same cell site. Standard speeds will resume once the cell site is no longer congested or when your data session moves to an uncongested cell site, and speeds will no longer be reduced during periods of network congestion at the start of your next monthly service period, unless your usage again exceeds an applicable, identified data usage threshold for that next monthly service period. There are no mobile network-related speed reductions if you use Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi data usage does not count against a monthly data usage threshold for wireless Data service.
6.4. Multi-Network Add-On
The primary and Multi-Network add-on lines must all be installed on the same device. Once activated, you may not switch the primary and Multi-Network add-on lines. The Multi-Network add-on lines must always be on a different network than the primary line. After activation, you can only perform a Network Transfer to a network that none of the existing lines are currently active on.
Each Multi-Network add-on line will be throttled once the combined data usage across primary and Multi-Network add-on line(s) is 100 GB on Unlimited Premium and 70 GB on Unlimited Starter; hotspot on each Multi-Network add-on line may be capped once combined hotspot usage across both the primary and Multi-Network add-on line(s) reaches 50 GB of usage on Unlimited Premium and 10 GB on Unlimited Starter.
International calling and roaming features that are included for free on the primary line are also included on the Multi-Network add-on line(s), with usage shared across the lines.
6.5. Permissible and Prohibited Uses
Unless you are a business customer who has purchased a business plan, your USM Service is intended only for personal activities, and not for commercial or business use, on your Device. Unless international voice or data roaming is purchased, primary use of your Service must occur in the U.S. Certain uses, including for example, tethering your Device to a personal computer or other hardware may be permitted under your data plan, but are also subject to the Acceptable Use Policy. Examples of prohibited uses can be found in Sections 13 and 15 and in our Acceptable Use Policy.

8. Service Availability; Network Coverage and Management

Speeds and Service are not guaranteed and outage and interruptions in Service may occur. Speeds and Service vary based on factors outside of USM's control, including but not limited to network congestion, cell tower performance, device performance, and weather. You agree we are not liable for problems relating to service availability or quality.
All usage remains subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, and excessive or abusive usage that negatively impacts network performance, including repeated or excessive speed tests, may result in throttling, capping, or termination of service at our discretion.
Any advertising referencing phrasing including but not limited to "never slows down", "no slowdowns", "no speed limits" strictly refers to the fact that USM will not intentionally place a throttle on lines using more than 100 GBs of regular data (except for hotspot; please see hotspot policy below) as long as they are in compliance with the Acceptable and Reasonable use policies. USM does not guarantee that speeds will not vary due to other factors.

9. International Long Distance (ILD)

We provide the ability for lines on certain plans to call select international destinations. The list of supported international destinations may change at any time without notice. Calling to certain destinations may be blocked or capped to a limited number of minutes. ILD may be terminated partially or altogether at any time without notice. We reserve the right to charge additional fees to enable ILD on any plan. Fair Usage applies to ILD Calling. For more information, please see our ILD Terms and Conditions at www.usmobile.com/legal.
ILD calling is offered via a third-party vendor, NetworkIP. By agreeing to our Terms and Conditions, you are also agreeing to NetworkIP's additional terms outlined in Appendix A.

10. Roaming

You are "roaming" whenever your wireless device connects to a network outside your coverage area or connects to another carrier's network, which could happen even within your coverage area. Your data service may be limited or slowed when roaming. Excessive roaming, whether domestically or internationally, may result in suspension or limitation of your Services. For international roaming, please visit www.usmobile.com/international-roaming-phone-plans.

11. Taxes, Fees and Surcharges

You are responsible for, and shall pay all taxes, fees and surcharges set forth 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 debit or credit card.

12. Dispute Resolution/Individual Binding Arbitration Agreement

YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, MASS, OR CONSOLIDATED 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 USM.
12.1. Claims Subject to Arbitration
You and USM agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us that arise out of, relate to, or are associated with the Services, the Sites, or USM. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to, all claims arising out of any aspect of our relationship, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, that arose either before or during this or any prior agreement, or that may arise after termination of these T&Cs, including claims and disputes concerning the T&Cs, our Services, our privacy notice, our privacy or data security practices, marketing practices, or claims involving the security, transfer, or use of data about you. It also includes claims under any state, federal or local law, unless expressly prohibited. By agreeing to resolve disputes through arbitration, you and USM each agree to unconditionally waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, representative proceeding, or private attorney general action. In addition, you may bring any issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.
12.2. Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Settlement Conference
12.2.1. If either of us intends to seek arbitration under this agreement, the party seeking arbitration must first notify the other party of the dispute in writing at least 60 days in advance of initiating the arbitration. Notice to USM should be sent to [email protected] or mailed to: US Mobile, Inc., Attn: Legal/Notice of Dispute, 295 Madison Ave, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10017. The notice must include enough information to allow us to identify your account as well as to assess and attempt to resolve your claim, including the name of the account holder, the mobile telephone number at issue, a description of the claim, the specific facts supporting the claim, the damages you claim to have suffered, and the relief you are seeking. The notice requirement is designed to allow USM to make a fair, fact-based offer of settlement if we choose to do so. You cannot proceed to arbitration unless you provide this information. You and we agree that neither of us may commence any arbitration or court proceeding unless we are unable to resolve the claim(s) within 60 days after receipt of the Notice of Dispute, provided the party who sent the Notice of Dispute has made a good faith effort to resolve the claim during that time. You may choose to be represented by an attorney or other person as part of this process, but if you do you must submit a letter authorizing us to discuss your account information with this attorney or other person.
12.2.2. During the 60-day pre-arbitration notice period, either you or USM may request an individualized discussion (by phone call or video-conference) regarding settlement ("Informal Settlement Conference"). You and USM must work together in good faith to select a mutually agreeable time for the Informal Settlement Conference (which can be after the 60-day period). You and a USM representative must personally participate, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Your and USM’s lawyers (if any) also can participate. Any applicable statute of limitations or contractual limitations period will be tolled for the claims and requested relief in the Notice during the "Informal Resolution Period." The Informal Resolution Period is the number of days between the date that the complete Notice (and Authentication and Consent, if required) is received by the other party, and the later of (1) 60 days later or (2) the date the Informal Settlement Conference is completed, if timely requested.
12.2.3. We may, but are not obligated to, make a written settlement offer any time before the arbitration hearing. The amount or terms of any settlement offer may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator issues an award on the claim
12.3. Commencing Arbitration
An arbitration may be commenced only if you and USM do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim during the Informal Resolution Period. You agree that compliance with the informal resolution process described above is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration or filing a claim in small claims court. A party’s failure to satisfy this condition precedent entitles the opposing party to seek immediate dismissal of the arbitration or litigation (where permitted) and the right to seek reimbursement for its costs. If either party elects small claims court, the Dispute will be resolved in that forum and not through arbitration. A court will have the power to enforce this Section 12.3, including the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations without you or USM first providing a fully complete Notice and participating in a timely requested Informal Settlement Conference. To avoid doubt, these requirements are not waived if the parties do not hold a timely Informal Settlement Conference.
12.4. Arbitration Procedure
12.4.1. The arbitration will be governed by the operative Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedure ("NAM Rules") of National Arbitration and Mediation ("NAM"), as modified by the provisions of these T&Cs, and will be administered by NAM (however, if NAM is unavailable or unwilling to administer arbitrations consistent with this arbitration agreement, another arbitration administrator shall be selected by the parties or, if the parties cannot agree on a provider, by the court). The NAM Rules and fee information are available from NAM online at www.namadr.com (www.namadr.com).
12.4.2. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer with at least 10 years of litigation experience or a retired judge. The parties agree to and are bound by the terms of this arbitration agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that a court must decide issues relating to whether claims can or must be arbitrated, as well as other issues that this arbitration agreement specifies that a court shall decide.
12.4.3. If your claim is for $5,000 or less, you or we may elect for the arbitration to be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator as set forth in the NAM Rules. If your claim exceeds $5,000, any hearings will take place virtually unless the parties agree otherwise, or the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary. Any in-person arbitration shall take place at a location that the parties or NAM selects in the state of your primary residence.
12.4.4. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offers must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the relief, if any, to which you or USM is entitled.
12.4.5. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties or ordered by the arbitrator, the parties agree to the discovery process as follows: no depositions and limited to the exchange of documents and 10 written interrogatories. Regardless of the way the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief that a court can award under applicable law.
12.5. Arbitration Fees
The NAM Rules will govern the payment of all fees unless applicable law requires a different allocation of fees for this arbitration agreement to be enforceable.
If you are unable to pay your share of the NAM fees, and you file an affidavit with NAM evidencing a gross monthly income of less than 200% of the federal poverty lines, or other circumstances demonstrating an inability to pay your fees, USM will pay such costs, so long as you have fully complied with the requirements in Section 12.2. Provided, however, that USM may be entitled to recover any share of the fees it has paid on your behalf if the arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or asserted in bad faith.
This Section 12.5 does not apply to fees related to Mass Arbitration, which are covered in 12.6.
12.6. Mass Arbitration
12.6.1. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and we agree that if there are twenty-five (25) or more individual arbitration demands of a substantially similar nature filed against us by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, the parties agree to resolve the claims in staged proceedings. All parties agree that arbitration demands are of a "substantially similar nature" if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario, raise the same or similar legal issues, and seek the same or similar relief.
12.6.2. In the first stage, claimants’ counsel and USM will each select 25 cases (50 cases total) to be filed in arbitration and resolved individually by different arbitrators. If feasible, the arbitrators will be from the respective claimants’ home states. If there are fewer than 50 cases, all will be filed in arbitration. In the meantime, no other cases may be filed or proceed in arbitration. You agree to this process even though it may delay the arbitration of your claim. Arbitration awards shall have no precedential effect on subsequently administered stages.
12.6.3. The arbitrators are encouraged to resolve the cases as swiftly as possible thereafter, consistent with fairness to the parties. After the first stage is completed, the parties must engage in a single mediation of all remaining cases, and USM will pay the mediation fee. If the parties cannot agree how to resolve the remaining cases after mediation, they will repeat the process of selecting and filing 50 cases to be resolved individually by different arbitrators, followed by mediation.
12.6.4. If any claims remain after the second stage, the process will be repeated until all claims are resolved, with four differences. First, a total of 100 cases may be filed in the third and later stages. Second, the cases will be randomly selected by NAM, unless the parties agree otherwise. Third, arbitrators who decided cases in the first two stages may be appointed in later stages if different arbitrators are not available. Fourth, mediation is optional at the election of counsel for the claimants.
12.6.5. Between stages, counsel will meet and confer regarding ways to improve the efficiency of the staged proceedings, including whether to increase the number of cases filed in each stage. Either party may also negotiate with NAM regarding the amount or timing of NAM fees.
12.6.6. You and we agree to cooperate in good faith with NAM to implement any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) increasing or decreasing the number of cases in each stage based on the total arbitration demands filed; (2) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; or (3) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.
12.6.7. If this subsection applies to a Notice, the Informal Resolution Period for the claims and relief set forth in that Notice will be extended (including the tolling of any applicable statute of limitations or contractual limitations period for the claims and requested relief) until that Notice is selected for a staged proceeding, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court will have the authority to enforce this subsection, including by enjoining the mass filing, or the prosecution or administration of arbitrations.
12.6.8. This subsection and each of its requirements are intended to be severable from the rest of this arbitration provision. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court decides that the staging process in this subsection is not enforceable, then the cases may be filed in arbitration and shall proceed in accordance with the NAM Rules. This provision shall not be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective, or mass arbitration or action of any kind or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances except as expressly outlined in this provision.
12.7. Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in these T&Cs to the contrary, you and USM agree that if USM makes any change to this arbitration provision during the period of time that you are receiving the Services or using the Sites (other than a change to the Notice Email Address), you may reject that change by providing USM with written notice within 14 days of the change to the Notice Address and require USM to adhere to the language in this arbitration agreement. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this arbitration agreement.
12.8. Opting Out
Existing customers who agree to this as a terms update may opt-out by sending an opt-out notice within fourteen (14) days (the "Opt Out Notice") of agreeing to such updated terms. You have two options to opt out: via email to [email protected] or mail to USM Inc., Attn: Legal/Arbitration Agreement Opt Out, 295 Madison Ave, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10017. Include your name, address, phone number(s), email address, and a statement signed by you that you wish to opt out of the arbitration provision. This is the only way to opt out of this arbitration agreement. Opting out will not affect any other aspect of the Terms, Additional Terms, or the Services, and will have no effect on any future agreements you may reach to arbitrate with us. An Opt Out that purports to opt out multiple parties will be invalid as to all such parties. No individual party (or their agent, representative, or group of agents or representatives) may effectuate an Opt Out on behalf of other individual parties.
12.9. Small Claims Court
Despite this arbitration provision, either you or USM may bring an action seeking only individualized relief in a local small claims court rather than through arbitration so long as the matter remains in small claims court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction. If a party has already submitted an arbitration demand to the arbitration provider and the claim is subject to the jurisdiction of the filing party’s local small claims court, the other party can send a written notice to the opposing party and the arbitration provider requesting that the Dispute be decided in small claims court. Upon receipt of such notice, and if all outstanding arbitration service fees have been paid, the arbitration provider shall then administratively close the case.
Nothing in this Agreement prevents you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies, including, for example, the FCC. Those agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against USM on your behalf.
12.10. Miscellaneous
This Agreement evinces a transaction in interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is determined to be unenforceable, that provision should be severed, and the rest of this arbitration agreement shall be enforced. This arbitration agreement is the complete agreement between you and USM regarding the arbitration of disputes. This arbitration agreement supersedes any prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings on the subject except for claims covered by a prior arbitration agreement that are part of pending litigation or arbitration. Finally, you or USM may, at the court’s discretion, recover attorneys’ fees and other expenses from the other party if (a) you or USM file a lawsuit in court and the non-filing party must enter an appearance and file a motion to compel or any other papers in court to enforce this arbitration agreement; and (b) the court determines that the party’s insistence on the judicial forum was objectively groundless. This arbitration provision will survive termination of this Agreement.

13. Misuse of Service or Device

You agree to use USM Service for personal use only and not for commercial and/or business uses or any other prohibited purposes including any purposes that we determine in our sole discretion may compromise network security or capacity, degrade network performance, hinder other customers' access to the network, or otherwise adversely impact network service levels or legitimate data flows. USM Service plans may only be used for the following purposes: (i) personal voice calls between two individuals; (ii) text and picture messaging; and (iii) Internet browsing and ordinary content downloads.

Some services give you the ability to access, view, listen to, interact with, record, and/or store third-party audio and visual content ("Third-Party Content"). You understand that we don't guarantee the access to or availability of any particular Third-Party Content, or the length of time any particular Third-Party Content may remain available. You also understand that Third-Party Content is the copyrighted material of the third-party that supplies it, is protected by copyright and other applicable laws, and may not be reproduced, published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed without the written permission of the third-party that supplied it, except to the extent allowed under the "fair use" provisions of the U.S. copyright laws or comparable provisions of foreign laws.
Third-Party Content may among other things be offensive, indecent, violent, pornographic, inappropriate, false and misleading, inaccurate, unreliable, and unsuitable for children and minors - you are solely responsible for any Third-Party Content accessed through our Data Services. The accuracy, appropriateness, content, completeness, timeliness, usefulness, security, safety, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, transmission or correct sequencing of any application, information or downloaded data is not guaranteed or warranted by USM or any content providers or other third party. Neither USM nor its content providers, service providers or other third parties shall be liable to you for any loss or injury arising out of or caused, in whole or in part, by your use of any information, application or content, or any information, application, or other content acquired through our Data Services.

17. Privacy and CPNI

When you agree to the T&Cs, you also agree to our Privacy Notice. This notice may change from time to time and includes important information on what data we collect about you, how we use this data and with whom we share that data. If we make changes to allow use or disclosure of personal information in a way that we determine is materially different than stated at the time the data was collected, we will provide you with notice.
During the course of providing service to you, we may collect certain information made available to us solely because of our relationship with you, including information regarding the nature and type of your service and the calls that you place and receive. We always will handle this data, which is "Customer Proprietary Network Information" ("CPNI"), in accordance with Federal Communications Commission regulations, federal consumer privacy laws and our Privacy Policy. We take reasonable steps to protect CPNI and your other personal information from unauthorized use or disclosure.

18. Emergency and 9-1-1 Information; Wi-Fi Calling

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. USM is not responsible for failures to connect or complete 9-1-1 calls for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation 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 USM nor its 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.
You understand and acknowledge that calling 9-1-1 via Wi-Fi Calling uses the internet and operates differently than calling 9-1-1 via traditional telephone services. Solely by way of example, 9-1-1 may not work during internet outages or disruptions, when attempting to call 9-1-1 via Wi-Fi Calling from any location. In addition, emergency personnel may not be able to identify your phone number to call you back, and 9-1-1 calls may otherwise be delayed or dropped due to network architecture, when dialing 9-1-1 via Wi-Fi Calling, from any location. In addition, if USM makes Wi-Fi Calling available to you, you must provide us with any update TO the physical location at which you will use Wi-Fi Calling (the "Registered Location"). If your Registered Location changes, either temporarily or permanently (e.g., when using Wi-Fi Calling at any other physical location), you must promptly update your Registered Location. You may provide us with your Registered Location at any time within the applicable device settings of a compatible Device. If you do not provide us with an accurate Registered Location and update it promptly for any and all changes in your location as described above, we or our network supplier may block your usage of certain Wi-Fi Networks. You also understand and acknowledge that if you attempt to dial 9-1-1 via Wi-Fi Calling from any location other than your Registered Location, emergency personnel may not be able to identify your location, your 9-1-1 call may not complete, and/or your 9-1-1 call may be routed to emergency personnel in a different location. You understand and acknowledge that it may take up to 2 hours for changes in address to be updated, and you should notify USM in advance of any temporary or permanent changes to your Registered Location as described above. NEITHER USM NOR ITS 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).

19. Lost or Stolen Devices

You agree to notify us if your Device is lost or stolen. Once you notify us, we will suspend your Service. 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, Fees and Surcharges. If you request that we not suspend your Service, you will remain responsible for all usage and Charges incurred and applicable Taxes, Fees 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.
