Plans Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”) are part of your service agreement with UVNV, Inc., including its affiliates, assigns, and agents (“Ultra Mobile,” “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.

Please read these T&Cs carefully. 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.

1. Acceptance. YOUR AGREEMENT WITH ULTRA MOBILE STARTS WHEN YOU ACCEPT. 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 an “Ultra Mobile Device” (a Device purchased from Ultra Mobile, an Ultra Mobile dealer, or other Ultra Mobile authorized retailer (“Dealer”)). IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT, DO NOT DO ANY OF THESE THINGS.
2. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. ULTRA MOBILE AND YOU EACH 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, 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. Ultra Mobile and you each 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. Ultra Mobile and you each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. If Ultra Mobile and you are unable to resolve the claim within sixty (60) days after Ultra Mobile receives your claim description and supporting documentation, you may pursue your claim in arbitration.

As an alternative to arbitration, Ultra Mobile may choose to resolve billing disputes in small claims court in the county of your most recent billing address.  Ultra Mobile and you each agree that if you fail to timely pay amounts due, Ultra Mobile 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, Ultra Mobile and you will share equally 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. ULTRA MOBILE AND YOU EACH 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 Ultra Mobile.

JURY TRIAL WAIVER. If a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, ULTRA MOBILE AND YOU EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

3. No Refunds for Your Cancellation of Service Plans. 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).
4. Our Rights to Make Changes. 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 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 support@ultraMOBILE.COM, (ii) calling (888) 777-0446, or (iii) managing your account preferences on the Ultra Mobile website.  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. 
5. Compatible Devices. You must use a supported, compatible Device to access the Ultra Mobile network. Only certain phones and tablet computers are supported Devices. Ultra Mobile 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.
6. Service Availability. 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.
7. Important Emergency and 9-1-1 Information and Emergency Alerts. 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. Ultra Mobile is 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 Ultra Mobile 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 Ultra Mobile, 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. Service Plans.

8.1 General. Your Service will operate only after you have purchased and redeemed an Ultra Mobile Service plan.  Please visit our website at www.ultramobile.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.  Ultra Mobile 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. Ultra Mobile 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 Ultra Mobile Service plans except the Ultra Flex plans, 1 gigabyte of data is equivalent to 1,024 megabytes.  For all Ultra Flex plans, 1 gigabyte of data is equivalent to 1,000 megabytes.  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 an Ultra Mobile Service plan (both data that comes with a particular Ultra Mobile Service plan and any additional data you purchase as an add-on), including Ultra Flex plan roll-over data, will expire immediately upon termination of your Ultra Mobile 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 and not on any other equipment. Other uses, including for example, using your Device as a modem or tethering your Device to a personal computer or other hardware, are not permitted. Other 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. Ultra Mobile has set a 30-day 4G data usage level (“Usage Level”) for each of its Service plans.  For purposes of these T&Cs, “4G” means minimum data speeds equal to the lesser of (i) an average of 1.0 mbps over a 30-day service term, or (ii) the average network speed in your market over a 30-day service term as dictated by Ultra Mobile’s network supplier (over which Ultra Mobile has no control).  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 4G Usage Level for the Service plan you selected. 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 purchased a Service plan that includes a finite amount of data in a 30-day Service period, your data will be suspended once you reach the 30-day data limit and reset upon the commencement of the following 30-day Service period.  If you purchased a Service plan that includes unlimited data and you exceed your Service plan’s 30-day Usage Level, Ultra Mobile will reduce the speed at which you can send and receive data over the Ultra Mobile network 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.  If you continue to send and/or receive a substantial amount of data (as determined by Ultra Mobile in its sole discretion) after our initial reduction of your data speed, we may further reduce your data speed to 64 kbps.  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 4G 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 4G speeds (subject to 4G network availability and the actual network speeds of Ultra Mobile’s network supplier).  Any data uploaded or downloaded by that customer in excess of 1 gigabyte will be provided at reduced speeds not lower than 64 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 streaming video, or if you download significant quantities of music files, movies, software applications, or engage in other high-bandwidth activities.

New and existing customers can enable a customer-controlled feature (“Data My Way”) on qualifying unlimited data plans to better optimize their Data Plan, 4G Service, and high speed data consumption. Qualifying plans that feature Data My Way allow customers to choose the maximum data upload and download speeds that will be applied to their Service when they are connected to the cellular network. For example, when Data My Way is enabled, streaming video optimization technology is automatically applied and video is delivered at lower quality (typically 480p) rather than at a higher resolution (e.g. HD) better suited for larger screens, which helps customers stretch their Data Plans by reducing the amount of high-speed data consumed for streaming video. Data speed optimization is not applied when a device is on Wi-Fi and therefore all data, including video, will be delivered at available speeds. By accessing their account preferences on the Ultra Mobile website, qualifying Data My Way customers can choose between one of three available data upload and download speed options, with delivery rates that range from up to 1.0 mbps to full network speed. When Data My Way is enabled, Ultra Mobile will apply a default data delivery rate at its sole discretion and as available Customers can switch the speed of their Data My Way Service at any time during the applicable 30-day period and may apply Data My Way to a new Data Plan, an existing Data Plan, or a Data Plan add-on.

8.7 Protective Measures. To provide a good experience for the majority 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. 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. 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.  Streaming video optimization technology is automatically applied to Data My Way Service plans based on the applicable data upload and download speed option chosen by the customer, if such options are available.

8.8 Wi-Fi Features.  Ultra Mobile, at its sole discretion, 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 Ultra Mobile, Wi-Fi Calling will only be available for Ultra Mobile customers that (i) have a Wi-Fi capable Device with Ultra Mobile supported Wi-Fi calling capability, (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 Ultra Mobile’s 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 www.ultramobile.com/911-disclosure).  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 Ultra Mobile makes 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 Ultra Mobile.  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 Ultra Mobile 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).  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 Ultra Mobile. Ultra Mobile is 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. Ultra Mobile is 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, including location information (when applicable) to the Content & Apps provider or some other third party.  If you access or use any Content & Apps through Ultra Mobile’s Service, you agree and authorize Ultra Mobile and its 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 Ultra Mobile 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 the Ultra Mobile web site.  Please check our web site frequently so that you are aware of our Roaming charges and rates and any changes thereto.

9. International Long Distance.

9.1 General. All international long distance services included in your Service are handled by PLD, LLC (“PLD”) and are delineated on your invoices separately from the services provided by Ultra Mobile.  PLD is not affiliated with Ultra Mobile.

9.2 International roaming credits. Your Ultra Mobile Service plan may include international roaming credits (“Credits”) that you can use for international roaming minutes or data without additional charge. The amount 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. Ultra Mobile 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, Ultra Mobile will be under no obligation to offer any refunds or reimbursements for Credits that you receive from Ultra Mobile. Credits will be reclaimed by us should your account be terminated for any reason.

10. Taxes, Fees and Surcharges. You are responsible for, and shall pay, the taxes, fees and surcharges set forth in Sections 10.1 – 10.5 below (“Taxes and Surcharges”) in connection with your Service account. Such Taxes 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 and Surcharges is in addition to payment for the Service and will be billed to your credit card.

10.1 Regulatory Recovery Fee. The Regulatory Recovery Fee is assessed to help recover Ultra Mobile’s 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 regulatory reporting and compliance obligations imposed upon Ultra Mobile in connection with providing the Service. For all Ultra Mobile Service plans except the Ultra Flex plans, the Regulatory 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. For Ultra Flex plans, the Regulatory Recovery Fee is calculated as a flat fee of (i) $1.00 per line credit per month, (ii) $0.50 on Ultra Flex add-ons (e.g., additional data, call anywhere credit or roaming credit) of $10.00 or less, and (iii) $1.00 on Ultra Flex add-ons of $10.01 or more; provided, however, that no additional Regulatory Recovery Fee beyond the $1.00 per line credit per month will be charged for Ultra Flex add-ons when purchased with one or more line credits.  Although added to the overall charge, the Regulatory Recovery Fee is separate from the cost of Service and the Regulatory Recovery Fee shall not result in the purchase of any additional Service time.

10.2 Federal Universal Service Fund Fee. The Federal Universal Service Fund Fee is designed to recover Ultra Mobile’s contribution to the Federal Universal Service Fund program. The Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”) establishes a quarterly contribution factor, and Ultra Mobile charges its customers the then-applicable rate charged to Ultra Mobile by USAC.

10.3 State Universal Service Fund Fees.  The State Universal Service Fund Fee is designed to recover Ultra Mobile’s contribution to various state universal service fund programs.  Certain state agencies establish a quarterly, semi-annual or annual contribution factor, and Ultra Mobile may choose to charge its customers to recoup the state universal service fund fees charged to Ultra Mobile.

10.4 Sales and Use Taxes. Sales and use taxes are assessed to allow Ultra Mobile 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 Ultra Mobile 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 Ultra Mobile Service.  Ultra Mobile 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. Your Right to Dispute Charges.

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. The document may be filed handwritten or typewritten and must be signed by you. You must send us a copy of your document to the following address: UVNV, Inc., 1550 Scenic Avenue, Suite 100, Costa Mesa, California 92626, Attn: Customer Service. You must send your petition for review to the Telecommunications Board at the following address: 500 Ave. Roberto H. Todd (Pda. 18 – Santurce), San Juan, Puerto Rico 00907-3941. The Telecommunications Board will review our determination only on appeal. You are advised of the provisions regarding suspension of Service that appear in Law 33 of July 7, 1985, Law 213 of September 12, 1996 and Regulation 5940 promulgated by the Telecommunications Board. You are also advised of Regulation 5939 of March 12, 1999 promulgated by the Telecommunications Board regarding the procedures for resolution of customer disputes.

12. Notices and Customer Communications.

12.1 Receipt of Communications.  You expressly consent to receive all communications, agreements, documents, notices and disclosures (“Notices”) from us, at the telephone number associated with your Device, or physical or electronic address you provide to us. Notices from us to you are considered delivered when we deliver them to your Device by text message or voice, or by email to any email address you provide to us, or three (3) days after mailing to your billing address.

12.2 Autodialed or Prerecorded Messages.  We may at times contact you using autodialed or prerecorded message calls or text messages at the telephone number associated with your Device. We may place such calls or texts to (i) provide notices regarding your Ultra Mobile account or account activity, (ii) investigate or prevent fraud, or (iii) collect a debt owed to us. You agree that we and our service providers may contact you using autodialed or prerecorded message calls and text messages to carry out the purposes we have identified above. We may share your phone number with service providers with whom we contract to assist us in pursuing these interests, but will not share your phone number with third parties for their own purposes without your consent. Standard telephone minute and text charges may apply. We and our service providers will not use autodialed or prerecorded message calls or texts to contact you for marketing purposes at the telephone number associated with your Device unless we receive your prior express written consent.

12.3 Revocation of Consent.  You do not have to consent to receive autodialed or prerecorded message calls or texts in order to use Ultra Mobile Service. Where Ultra Mobile is required to obtain your consent for such communications, you may choose to revoke your consent by any reasonable means, including by (i) contacting our customer service department at support@ultramobile.com, (ii) calling (888) 777-0446, (iii) writing to: UVNV, Inc., 1550 Scenic Avenue, Suite 100, Costa Mesa, California 92626, Attn: Customer Service, or (iv) managing your account preferences on the Ultra Mobile website. Written notices from you to us are considered delivered when you send an email or three (3) days after mailing to the address above.

To begin arbitration or other legal proceeding, you must serve our registered agent. Our registered agent is UVNV, Inc., and can be contacted at support@ultramobile.com or by telephone at (888) 777-0446.

13. 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 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 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 Ultra Mobile 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 Ultra Mobile Devices for profit, or tampering with, reprogramming or altering Ultra Mobile Devices for the purpose of reselling the Ultra Mobile 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, Ultra Mobile’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.

15. Our Rights to Limit or End Service or the Agreement.

15.1 WE MAY LIMIT, THROTTLE, SUSPEND OR TERMINATE YOUR SERVICE OR AGREEMENT WITHOUT NOTICE AT ANY TIME AND FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, if you, any user of your Device, or any user on your account: (a) breaches the Agreement; (b) transfer(s) Service to another person without our consent; (c) becomes insolvent, goes bankrupt or threatens bankruptcy (except as prohibited by law); (d) misuses your Service or Device as described in Section 14 above; (e) uses your Service or Device in a manner that is excessive, unusually burdensome, or unprofitable to us; or (f) are on a Service plan that we determine is no longer available to you. We may impose credit, usage or other limits to your Service, suspend your Service, or block certain types of calls, messages or sessions (such as international, 10XXX, 0+/0-, chat services, 900 or 976 calls), in our sole discretion and without notice.

Ultra Mobile reserves 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 Ultra Mobile Service. Ultra Mobile reserves the right to limit throughput or the amount of data transferred and to deny or terminate Service to anyone Ultra Mobile believes is using their Service in an unauthorized manner or whose usage, in Ultra Mobile’s sole discretion, adversely impacts its supplier’s network or customer service levels. Ultra Mobile will presume you are engaging in an unauthorized use in violation of these T&Cs, if in Ultra Mobile’s 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 Ultra Mobile’s supplier’s network or service levels or to Ultra Mobile’s financial or other interests. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you are using your Service in violation of these T&Cs or in any other manner that we deem to be unreasonable or excessive, we may terminate individual calls or data connections, terminate or reduce data throughput or terminate your Service, decline to renew your Service, or offer you a different Service plan without an unlimited usage component which may result in an increased cost to you.

Ultra Mobile may discontinue providing Service to you, discontinue your account, terminate data connections and/or reduce data throughput speeds if your usage, in the sole judgment of Ultra Mobile: (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 Ultra Mobile customers; or (ii) may be harmful or disruptive to, or interfere with, Ultra Mobile’s supplier’s network, Ultra Mobile’s service or the ability to provide quality service to other customers. By initiating Service and placing or receiving calls, you acknowledge and agree to Ultra Mobile’s 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 Ultra Mobile’s sole discretion. If your Service or account is limited, suspended or terminated and then reinstated, you may be charged a reactivation fee.

15.2 Refund Policy.  If you have purchased one of our 30-day Service plans and we terminate or suspend your Service for any reason specified in Section 15.1 or otherwise, you will not receive any refund of amounts paid to us in connection with such Service plan.  If you have purchased one of our pre-paid, multi-month Service plans and we suspend or terminate your Service for any reason specified in Section 15.1 or otherwise, we will refund a pro rata portion of your Service fee for any then-remaining 30-day Service period(s) within your Service plan, not including the 30-day Service period in which we suspend or terminate your Service.

15.3 Device Refunds and Restocking Fees. For Ultra Mobile-provided Devices, SIM Kits and accessory returns and exchanges, see the applicable return policy, which is available in the Device, SIM Kit or accessory box or packaging. Some Ultra Mobile-provided Devices and accessories may not be refunded or exchanged, and you may be required to pay a restocking fee.  Devices offered to Ultra Mobile customers, if any, will comply with the FCC’s regulations concerning hearing aid compatability.

15.4 No Future Service.  In the event Ultra Mobile terminates your Service for any reason specified in Section 15.1 or otherwise, we reserve the right to prohibit you from using  any Ultra Mobile Service plan in the future by blocking your device from our network, prohibiting you from using a new Ultra Mobile Service account that you purchase, or through other means.

16. Intellectual Property. You agree not to infringe, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of Ultra Mobile or any third party. Except for a limited license to use the Services, your purchase of Services and Ultra Mobile Devices does not grant you any license to copy, modify, reverse engineer, download, redistribute, or resell the intellectual property of Ultra Mobile or others related to the Services and Ultra Mobile Devices; this intellectual property may be used only with Ultra Mobile Service unless expressly authorized by Ultra Mobile. You agree that a violation of this section harms Ultra Mobile, which cannot be fully redressed by money damages, and that Ultra Mobile shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies available.
17. Privacy Information. Our Privacy Policy governs how we collect and use information related to your use of our Service and is available online at www.ultramobile.com/privacy-policy. We may change our Privacy Policy without notice; however, if we change our policy to allow use or disclosure of personal information in a way that, in our sole determination, is materially different from that stated in the policy at the time the data was collected, we will post notice in advance of the change. Data on your Device may automatically be stored on your SIM card, Device or our network. Your data may remain on the Device even if your SIM card is removed; the data left on your Device will be accessible to others who use your Device, and may be deleted, altered, or transferred to our or our supplier’s network servers.
18. Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN WRITING, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND DEVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THE RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE CONCERNING YOUR SERVICE OR YOUR DEVICE. WE DO NOT PROMISE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICE AND WE DO NOT AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ON OUR BEHALF. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOUR COMMUNICATIONS WILL BE PRIVATE OR SECURE.
19. Waivers and Limitations of Liability. UNLESS PROHIBITED BY LAW, OUR LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES OR OTHER MONETARY RELIEF FOR ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US IS STRICTLY LIMITED TO NO MORE THAN THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO US FOR THE SERVICE FROM WHICH THE DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY AROSE IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE WE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, TREBLE, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OUR SERVICE (INCLUDING THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SAME), ANY DEVICE, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF, OR OTHERWISE MIGHT HAVE ANTICIPATED, THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION AND WAIVER ALSO APPLIES TO ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY BRING AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY TO THE EXTENT THAT WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO INDEMNIFY THAT PARTY FOR SUCH CLAIM. YOU AGREE WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR PROBLEMS CAUSED BY YOU OR A THIRD PARTY. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN TWO (2) YEARS OF THE DATE THE CLAIM ARISES.
20. Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including taxes, fees, fines, penalties, interest, expenses of investigation and attorneys’ fees and disbursements) as incurred, arising out of or relating to use of the Service or Devices, breach of the Agreement, or violation of any laws or regulations or the rights of any third party by you or any person on your account or that you allow to use your Service or Device.
21. Enforceability and Assignment. A waiver of any part of the Agreement in one instance is not a waiver of any other part or any other instance and must be expressly provided in writing. If we do not enforce our rights under any provisions of the Agreement, we may still require strict compliance in the future. Except as provided in Section 2, if any part of the Agreement is held invalid that part may be severed from the Agreement. You cannot assign the Agreement or any of your rights or duties under it without our written consent. We may assign all or part of the Agreement or your debts to us without notice. The Agreement is the entire agreement between Ultra Mobile and you and defines all of the rights you have with respect to your Service or Ultra Mobile Device, except as provided by law, and you cannot rely on any other documents or statements by any sales or service representatives or other agents. If you purchase a Device, services or content from a third party, you may have a separate agreement with the third party; Ultra Mobile is not a party to that agreement. Any determination made by us pursuant to this Agreement, shall be in our sole reasonable discretion. Sections 2-3, 5, 8-14, and 16-22 of this Agreement continue after termination of our Agreement with you.
22. Choice of Law. This Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state in which your billing address in our records is located, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules of that state. Foreign laws (except for Puerto Rico) do not apply. Arbitration or court proceedings must be in: (a) the county and state in which your billing address in our records is located, but not outside the U.S.; or (b) in Puerto Rico if your billing address is in Puerto Rico. If any provision of the Agreement is invalid under the law of a particular jurisdiction, that provision will not apply in that jurisdiction.
23. CPNI. Customer Proprietary Network Information (“CPNI”) is information that Ultra Mobile and other telecommunications carriers obtain when providing your telecommunications services to you. CPNI includes the types of telecommunications services you currently purchase, how you use them, and the billing information related to those services, including items such as the types of local, long distance and wireless telecommunications services that you have purchased and your calling details.  Your telephone number, name and address are not considered CPNI.

 

We may use CPNI to offer you additional services of the type you already purchase from Ultra Mobile.  We may also use your CPNI to offer you products and services, packages, discounts and promotions from our affiliates, which may be different from the types of services you already purchase.

Ultra Mobile uses technology and security features and strict policy guidelines to safeguard the privacy of CPNI and protect it from unauthorized access or improper use.  Ultra Mobile does not disclose CPNI outside of Ultra Mobile, its affiliates and their respective agents without customer consent except as required by law.  When Ultra Mobile uses third parties to perform services on its behalf that require the use of CPNI, Ultra Mobile requires that they protect the CPNI consistent with this privacy policy.  Ultra Mobile does not sell CPNI to unaffiliated third-parties.

If you wish to restrict our use of your CPNI for marketing purposes, you may contact a customer service representative at the customer service phone number located on your Ultra telephone bill or in Section 12 of these T&Cs.
