C Spire does not guarantee network availability or performance. Service may be changed, slowed, suspended, terminated, and/or restricted based upon usage, location, roaming, interference with our network or ability to provide quality service to other users, or for any reason in C Spire's sole discretion. Data usage and Service quality varies by device, apps, available network speeds, roaming, file sizes and/or as a result of settings. Actual download and upload speeds can depend on Device characteristics, network, network availability and coverage levels, tasks, file characteristics, applications and other factors. Performance may also be impacted by transmission limitations, terrain, in-building/in-vehicle use and capacity constraints.

The Service purchased under your Account and this Service Agreement may be provided by C Spire or any of its affiliates. If you are purchasing multiple categories of Service under this Service Agreement or another agreement, i.e. wireless Service and VoIP Service, then your “Customer Proprietary Network Information” (as defined in 47 U.S.C. § 222(h)(1)) will be shared between C Spire and its affiliates as necessary to provide all categories of Service ordered by you as permitted by 47 C.F.R. § 64.2005(a)(1).

5.         Permissible and Prohibited Uses of Your Service:

If you have subscribed to commercial or custom Service, the foregoing uses are permitted only to the extent they are explicitly allowed under the terms of such Service.

You agree not to use the Service in any manner or for any purpose that is, or we reasonably determine may be, harmful to C Spire, its network, or other users including, but not limited to: (a) any activity that adversely affects the ability of other people or systems to access or use either our wireless Service or other parties' Internet-based resources; (b) attempted hacking of our network or any other user's Device; (c) intentionally uploading or sending viruses, worms, malware, corrupt files, Trojan horses, time bombs, or any other similar data, applications, or software which may harm another user, another user's Device, or C Spire's network; (d) denial of service attacks; or (e) the connection or use of any Devices which have the potential to harm or degrade C Spire’s network or Service, except as may be specifically allowed by federal law.

The Service may be used only for lawful purposes. You will not use or allow others to use the Service in any manner that is in violation of any applicable federal, state, local or international laws or regulations or to promote, engage in, or enable illegal activity or conduct that violates or infringes upon the rights of any person. Transmission or distribution of any material in violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. This includes, without limitation, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property right used without proper authorization, and material that is obscene, illegal, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws. C Spire may block calls or data transmissions that are made to, or received from, certain countries, cities, or telephone exchanges, or that use certain authorization codes if, in its sole discretion, C Spire deems it reasonably necessary to prevent non-standard, excessive, unlawful, or fraudulent use of the Service. Furthermore, use of the Service to impersonate a person or entity or to engage in fraudulent activities is not permitted.

C Spire RESERVES THE RIGHT AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION TO IMMEDIATELY SUSPEND, TERMINATE, OR RESTRICT USE OF SERVICE WITHOUT NOTICE IF SUCH USE VIOLATES THE RESTRICTIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH.

6.         Your Agreement with C Spire’s Network Management:

C Spire's Service is provided to you over a network with finite capacity that is shared with C Spire's other users. As a consequence, we may engage in network management to ensure that all users have reasonable and equitable access to our network. For example, the Service is not intended to provide full-time connections and the connection may be discontinued after a significant period of inactivity. Your Service may be changed, slowed, suspended, terminated and/or restricted based on usage, location, roaming, and/or interference with C Spire’s network or the ability to provide Service to other users, as determined by C Spire in its sole discretion.  Further, C Spire reserves the right to limit throughput speed or amount of data transferred at times of network congestion.

7.         Features and Limitations of Your Device:

Your Device must comply with Federal Communications Commission regulations, be certified for use on, and be compatible with the network on which C Spire provides the Service..

Devices purchased from C Spire may include pre-installed applications or Software that manages wireless connections. C Spire may change a Device's Software, applications, or programming remotely, with or without notice to you. This could affect how you have programmed your Device or your use of the Device. By activating any Service that uses a SIM card (whether physical or electronic), you agree C Spire owns the intellectual property and software in the SIM card, that C Spire may change the Software or other data in the SIM card without notice, and that C Spire may utilize any capacity in the SIM card for administrative, network, business, and/or commercial purposes..

If you purchased a Device from C Spire, it may have been programmed with a Device or SIM lock which will prevent it from operating with other wireless network operators' services. You acknowledge and agree that your Device may include one or more features which prevent your use of the Device as a customer of other wireless carriers and that C Spire has no obligation to deactivate this feature or make any change to the Device to allow you to use it as a customer of another wireless carrier in the event that you deactivate C Spire’s Service.  C Spire’s Device Locking Policy is available at https://www.cspire.com/web/legal/terms-of-use#DLP.  The Device uses radio transmissions to access the Service. If your Device is not in range of a transmission signal, the Service may not work. Accordingly, actual speeds of the Service will vary. Service that relies on location information depends on a Device's ability to acquire satellite signals (typically not available indoors) and network coverage. You may be unable to use your Device in any manner, including to call 911, while the Device is receiving a Software update until the Software update is complete. Your Device may automatically connect to other Wi-Fi hotspots, including the Wi-Fi network in your home that is connected to your home Internet service or available third-party Wi-Fi hotspots. When your Device is connected to the Wi-Fi network in your home that is connected to your home Internet service, the Device is not utilizing C Spire’s Service and is subject to the terms and conditions of your home Internet service. Connection of a Device to other third-party Wi-Fi hotspots is subject to the terms and conditions associated with the operator of the hotspots.  Disabling the automatic Wi-Fi connection feature may limit the performance and enhanced coverage C Spire provides and may increase your monthly Service data usage. Some Device settings may allow and/or default to Voice over Wi-Fi (“VoWi-Fi”) calling.  Devices with VoWi-Fi calling allow you to enter an address that may be used for the purpose of routing emergency services if an emergency call is made from the Device over Wi-Fi.  You are responsible for keeping this information up to date on your Device.

C Spire is not responsible for any defects, acts, omissions, or other problems with a Device. Device performance may vary based on Device specifications (for example, a Device's Software, memory, and storage) and Device performance may impact access to C Spire’s Service.

You are responsible for the security of any Device connected to the Service, including any data stored on the Device, and maintaining virus and other Internet security protections when accessing third-party products or services. At your own risk, you are free to download and use content and applications on the Device that are not provided by C Spire.

8.         Your Use of C Spire’s Data Service:

Your Service and Device may allow you, among other things, to access the Internet, email, text, take pictures and video, use C Spire’s Wi-Fi, download, view, send or play games, video, music, graphics, sound, applications, and other materials. Video resolution may be reduced to standard definition depending on the amount of your usage or Service.  Subject to network management practices of C Spire, C Spire does not control the content that you access or create on a Device. Content may be: (1) unsuitable for children/minors; (2) unreliable or inaccurate; or (3) offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You are solely responsible for evaluating the content accessed or created by you or anyone else through the Device and/or the Service.

Content from third parties may also harm a Device or its Software. C Spire is not responsible for any content, or any damage caused by any content, that you access or create through the Service, that you load on a Device, or that you request that C Spire’s representatives access and load on a Device.

Content from third parties, including any applications that you download, may also be subject to additional terms of service. Policies regarding intellectual property, privacy, and other terms of use may differ from C Spire’s, and you may be bound by such policies or terms when you visit such third-party sites, download from them, or use their services. It is your responsibility to read the rules or service agreements with each content or service provider. Any information you involuntarily or voluntarily provide to third parties is governed by their policies or terms of service.

9.         Coverage Map:

You will find a coverage map on our website.  The map is for general information purposes only and depicts the general coverage areas of C Spire.  C Spire does not guarantee coverage or Service availability and the coverage map is not a guarantee of coverage.  Coverage is not available everywhere.  The coverage map displays only the predicted and approximate optimal coverage while outdoors, including the coverage areas of the network’s roaming partners, if applicable.  The coverage areas shown do not guarantee service availability and may include locations with limited or no coverage.  Within coverage areas, there may be significant limitations or interruptions in coverage that may impact Service and result in dropped and blocked connections, slower data speeds or no data connectivity, and call interference.  Some features on your Device may not operate when roaming on the network of a network roaming partner.  If you travel outside of your coverage area, your phone will not work.  The coverage depicted on the C Spire coverage map is based on information provided by other carriers and public sources and we cannot guarantee their accuracy.  Your coverage will also vary based upon the Service that you select.

10.  Roaming Charges:

Domestic roaming charges for your Service may be charged when outside C Spire’s wireless network.  Service originated or received while outside of your plan’s coverage area is subject to roaming charges.  Use of Service is dependent upon a roaming carrier’s support of applicable network technology and functionality.  C Spire does not guarantee your ability to roam.  Roaming may be discontinued or changed at any time without notice.  If your domestic roaming usage of Service on other carriers’ networks exceeds 50% of your total usage of Service on C Spire’s network during a monthly wireless plan cycle, C Spire reserves the right to terminate your Service, deny your continued use of other carriers’ networks, change your Service to one imposing usage charges for roaming, or change your Service as necessary, based on the sole discretion of C Spire.    International roaming charges are governed by the International Roaming Terms of Service.  

11.      Your Non-Transferable Software License:

C Spire reserves the right through remote or other means to periodically update, monitor, upgrade, change or discontinue the Software used to support a Device or Service and to make related changes to the settings and Software on the Device.  You agree to permit such changes and access to your Device(s).  You may use the Software only in connection with the Service and for no other purpose. 

Certain Software may be accompanied by an end-user license agreement (“EULA”) from us or a third party.  Your use of the Software is governed by the terms of that EULA and this Service Agreement, where applicable.  You may not install or use any Software that is accompanied by or includes a EULA unless you first agree to the terms of the EULA, including any updates to the EULA.  To the extent that any terms of a given EULA directly conflict with the terms of this Service Agreement, the terms of the EULA will apply.

For Software provided in relation to the Service but not accompanied by a EULA, C Spire grants you a non-exclusive and non-transferable license or sublicense to use the Software, in accordance with the applicable Software licensing terms. No rights are granted to source code. A Device's Software is licensed to you by C Spire for your personal, lawful, noncommercial use on your Device only.

Except as permitted by applicable law, you may not assign, transfer, sublicense, copy, reproduce, redistribute, resell, modify, decompile, attempt to derive the source code of, or reverse engineer all or any part of the Software, or alter, disable, or circumvent any digital rights management security features embedded in the Software. The Software may not be transferred from one Device to another Device. You may not create derivative works of all or any part of the Software. You agree that the Software contains proprietary content and information owned by C Spire, its licensors, and/or other third parties. C Spire, its licensors, and such other third parties reserve the right to change, suspend, terminate, remove, impose limits on the use or access to, or disable access to, the Software at any time without notice and will have no liability for doing so.

Third-party operating system Software and pre-installed Software not provided by C Spire are subject to the licensing agreements of such parties.

12.      Your Agreement to Pay C Spire’s Monthly Service Charge:

You agree to pay the monthly service charge for the Service which is comprised of various fees, taxes, and governmental or regulatory surcharges, such as administrative fees and universal service fund surcharges. C Spire reserves the right to increase or decrease any fee for the Service offered. Taxes and fees are subject to change. Your Service shall be terminated in the event you do not timely pay the amounts due and owning on the Account. Depending on your Service, charges for additional services may include operator and directory assistance, voicemail, call forwarding, data calls, texts, and Internet access.

Upon activation of your Service, billing for the Service will begin automatically.  Your first bill will reflect a pro-rated charge for the current month plus the monthly charge for the following calendar month. The pro-rated charge for the month in which Service was activated is calculated as follows: the monthly charge for your Service multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days from the date of Service activation until the end of the calendar month, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the particular month Service was activated. Thereafter, you are billed each month for the next month's Service in advance. The pre-paid monthly Service is not refundable.

Unless terminated by C Spire for your default or for another reason specified in this Service Agreement, we will continue to provide you Service through the end of the calendar month for which you have paid for Service.

13.      If You make Payment to C Spire by Check:

If you tender a check or like instrument in payment of any obligation under this Service Agreement or your Account, which is returned due to insufficient funds in your bank account for payment upon presentation, and C Spire is charged a fee or service charge as a result of such return, you agree that C Spire is authorized to add the amount of the fee or service charge (up to the maximum amount allowed by law) to the amount due under your Account. In event of a returned check or like instrument, you also agree to pay a $30.00 returned check charge. You further agree that C Spire is not responsible for any unauthorized payments on your Account, whether by check or otherwise.

14.      If You are Enrolled in C Spire’s AutoPay or Paperless Billing:

If you are enrolled in C Spire’s AutoPay, the amount due on your C Spire billing statement will be paid automatically each month with AutoPay.  By enrolling in AutoPay, you authorize C Spire to automatically charge your credit or debit card or withdraw funds from your bank account each month on the “Total Amount Due By” date printed on your billing statement for the total amount due and owing on your Account. You agree that each time AutoPay is used, you have made a separate and complete authorization as required by the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”) and, as applicable, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, 15 U.S.C. 1693 et. seq., and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, 12 C.F.R 205 et. seq., and applicable credit card rules.

Your enrollment in AutoPay will remain in full force and effect until C Spire receives written notification from you advising of the termination of your enrollment in such time and in such manner as to afford C Spire a reasonable opportunity to act on it.

If you are enrolled in Paperless Billing, you will receive your C Spire billing statement electronically at the email address you provide.  Please remember it is your responsibility to keep your email address on file updated in order to receive your bill and other notifications regarding your account.  You may also view your bill on your online My C Spire account by logging in on www.cspire.com or to the My C Spire app.  If you would like to opt out of Paperless Billing, you may do so by changing your preferences on your online My C Spire account.

15.      Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement:

This paragraph describes how any disputes between you and us will be resolved. YOU AND C Spire EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR DISPUTES RELATED IN ANY WAY TO OR CONCERNING THIS SERVICE AGREEMENT, YOUR ACCOUNT, OUR PRIVACY POLICY, OUR SERVICE, EQUIPMENT, DEVICES OR PRODUCTS, INCLUDING (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) ANY BILLING DISPUTES, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN A COURT HAVING EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OVER CLAIMS FOR LESS THAN $3,500 (“Small Claims Court”). This includes any claims against others relating to any Service or equipment provided or billed to you (such as our suppliers, dealers or vendors) when you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding. This Service Agreement affects interstate commerce so that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply, notwithstanding any other choice of law provision contained in this Service Agreement or any other applicable agreement. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT.  You and us each agree that if you fail to timely pay amounts due, C Spire may assign your Account for collection, and C Spire or a debt collection agency may pursue, in Small Claims Court, claims limited to the collection of past due amounts, accrued interest, and collection related costs and expenses permitted by law or this Service Agreement.  To begin arbitration, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to C Spire’s registered agent. The American Arbitration Association ("AAA") will arbitrate all disputes in accordance with the procedures contained in its Consumer Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org. Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator who will be administratively appointed by the AAA from its National Roster of Arbitrators. The arbitration shall be conducted at a location within the greater metropolitan area of Jackson, Mississippi. The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The award of the arbitrator shall be accompanied by a reasoned opinion.

*CLASS ACTION WAIVER. WE 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. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you.

*JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  IF A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND C Spire EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

16.      When You are in Default:

You will be in default of this Service Agreement or your Account if any one or more of the following occurs: (a) you fail to timely pay the amounts due and owing on your Account; (b) you die, are declared incompetent, or become insolvent (either because your liabilities exceed your assets or because you are unable to pay your debts as they become due); (c) you fail to keep any promise contained in this Service Agreement, your credit application, or any other agreement with C Spire; (d) you make any statement or provide any information to C Spire that is untrue or inaccurate at the time it was made or provided; (e) you fail to provide any additional deposit C Spire may require; (f) any legal entity (such as a partnership or corporation) that has agreed to pay for the Service merges, dissolves, reorganizes, terminates its business or existence, or a partner or majority stockholder dies or is declared incompetent; (g) any fact appears or event occurs that causes C Spire to consider itself unsecured; or (h) the prospect of your performance of the obligations under this Service Agreement is impaired, as determined in C Spire’s sole discretion.

17.       C Spire’s Remedies for Your Default:

If you default under this Service Agreement or your Account , you agree that C Spire has the following remedies: (a) C Spire may, without prior demand or notice, set-off any outstanding balances against any deposit or monies held by C Spire for your Account, or any right you have to receive money from C Spire, and you agree to indemnify and hold C Spire harmless from and against any and all claims arising out of or related to C Spire's exercise of its right to set-off; (b) C Spire may require an additional deposit or require that other parties be obligated to pay for the Service rendered under your Account or this Service Agreement (or both) as a condition of waiving, for any period of time, any other remedy C Spire may have; (c) C Spire may suspend your Service until such time as you cure your default as defined above; (d) C Spire may disable the Device(s); (e) C Spire may require you to immediately pay the entire unpaid balance of the indebtedness on your Account and all other sums for which you are liable under this Service Agreement; (f) C Spire may require you to pay costs of collection, including (but not limited to) reasonable attorneys’ fees; (g) C Spire may take possession of the Device and sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Device to satisfy some or all of indebtedness under your Account and this Service Agreement; (h) C Spire may use any remedy given to C Spire under this Service Agreement; and (i) C Spire may use any remedy available to it under applicable law. C Spire does not waive its right to later use any other remedy that C Spire may have under state or federal law by choosing any one or more of these remedies.

C Spire does not waive a default if it chooses not to use any remedy and, by electing not to use any remedy, C Spire does not waive its right to later consider the event a default and to immediately use any remedies if a default continues or occurs again. In the event C Spire attempts to collect an account in default, then C Spire may recover reasonable attorneys' fees incurred and/or collection agencies' fees and all costs of collection.

18.      Authorized Use of Your Credit Information:

We reserve the right to evaluate your credit history before providing or modifying the Service and we may review your Account to ensure that you continue to meet the terms of this Service Agreement. In order to establish and maintain an account with C Spire and/or obtain or modify the Service, you hereby: (1) agree to furnish C Spire with the information necessary for C Spire to request your consumer report from a consumer reporting agency; (2) authorize and consent to C Spire’s procurement of your consumer report from a consumer reporting agency; and (3) consent to C Spire’s use of information from your consumer report for account creation and authentication purposes.

You may terminate this Service Agreement at any time, but you will be responsible for all charges incurred through the date of termination.  If you do terminate this Service Agreement, you must notify us in writing.  Termination of this Service Agreement will result in the immediate termination of your Service. If you have entered into a Retail Installment Sales Agreement or Promotional Offer Contract with C Spire, C Spire incorporates, as if fully set forth herein, the remedies available for any default on your commitment to maintain Service for a period of time.  If you have not entered into a Retail Installment Sales Agreement or Promotional Offer Contract with C Spire, your failure to maintain Service for the time period applicable to the wireless service plan you purchased may result in an early termination fee (hereinafter, “ETF”) in addition to your responsibility for any other damage and/or loss caused by such termination. The ETF is a way to fulfill your commitment to maintain Service for a period of time if you want to cancel Service early.  If your commitment to maintain Service for a period of time is complete, you will not owe an ETF.  The ETF amount depends on how much of your time commitment for Service is left when you cancel.  If you terminate this Service Agreement before the fulfillment of the commitment period applicable to your Service and/or wireless service plan, you agree the ETF shall be one or more of the following, as applicable: (i) One Hundred and Eighty Dollars ($180) for the Promotional Wireless Device (other than smartphones, netbooks, data cards, or laptop computers) or Service, minus a pro-rated dollar amount equal to the number of full months completed on the time commitment for your Service; (ii) Three Hundred and Sixty Dollars ($360) for Promotional Wireless Devices that are smartphones, netbooks, data cards, or laptop computers, minus a pro-rated dollar amount equal to the number of full months completed on the time commitment for your Service;  (iii) If Service is provided at a promotional price or free of charge, the ETF may cumulatively increase by the dollar amount of the Service each month for period of the promotional offer, then decrement for the remaining Service term remaining on the POC; or (iv) As otherwise specified in the terms of the POC.  You agree that the ETF is a reasonable pre-estimate of the amount of damages suffered by C Spire as a result of your failure to maintain Service with C Spire for the period of your service commitment. Any Service that remains unused at the time of termination will not be refunded to you or transferred to another person. 

C Spire may terminate this Service Agreement at any time if we cease to provide Service in your area.  C Spire can, without notice, limit, suspend, cancel or terminate your Service or any agreement with you for any reason whatsoever or for no reason, including, but not limited to, if you: (a) breach any term or condition of this Service Agreement; (b) resell the Service; (c) use the Service for any unlawful, illegal or fraudulent purpose; (d) install, deploy, or use any regeneration equipment or similar mechanism (for example, a repeater) to originate, amplify, enhance, retransmit or regenerate a radio frequency signal without C Spire’s permission; (e) steal from or lie to C Spire; (f) do not timely pay the amounts due and owing on your Account; (g) incur charges larger than a required deposit or billing limit, or materially in excess of your monthly access charges (even if C Spire hasn't yet billed the charges); (h) threaten, harass, or use vulgar and/or inappropriate language towards a C Spire representative, officer, employee, or agent; (i) interfere with C Spire’s operations; (j) modify your Device from its manufacturer's specifications; or (k) use the Service in a way that adversely affects C Spire’s network or the Service.  C Spire may also temporarily limit your Service for any operational or governmental reason.
