  118.

NEITHER REPUBLIC WIRELESS NOR BANDWIDTH.COM, INC., IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FAILURES TO CONNECT OR COMPLETE 911 CALLS OR IF INACCURATE LOCATION INFORMATION IS PROVIDED. 911 SERVICE MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE OR RELIABLE WITH THE REPUBLIC WIRELESS SERVICES AND THE ABILITY OF USERS TO RECEIVE 911 SERVICES MAY BE IMPERFECT.
  119.  
  120. UNLIKE TRADITIONAL WIRELINE SERVICE, 911 OPERATORS MAY NOT KNOW A USER'S PHONE NUMBER OR LOCATION, DEPENDING ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS. UNDER SOME CIRCUMSTANCES, AN EMERGENCY CALL MAY BE ROUTED TO A DISPATCHER OR ALTERNATIVE LOCATION SET BY LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDERS.

THE LIMITATIONS APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ARE BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, PRODUCT LIABILITY, TORT AND ANY OTHER THEORIES OF LIABILITY.

  124. 3. Service Availability. (Notice that our lawyers aren't using all caps and bold typeface anymore; read on anyway.) Notwithstanding any term or condition of these Terms of Service to the contrary, Republic Wireless cannot guarantee that the Republic Wireless Services will always function without disruptions, delay or other imperfections. The specific network coverage Users will receive will depend on Your Service Plan, Your Equipment, including, without limitation, the WiFi routers a Mobile Device can access, and/or radio transmissions a Mobile Device can pick up. By using the Republic Wireless Services, You agree to keep Your Equipment up to date, including by downloading the latest upgrades and updates of the Republic Wireless App and other software. Failure to do so can result in temporary or permanent disconnection of the Republic Wireless Services, including termination. Coverage is not available everywhere and service speeds are not guaranteed. Actual speeds will vary. Gaps in coverage exist within Republic Wireless' estimated coverage areas for radio transmissions, when applicable, that, along with other factors both within and beyond the control of Republic Wireless (network problems, network or internet congestion, software, signal strength, the Mobile Device, structures, buildings, weather, geography, topography, server speeds of the websites accessed, etc.), may result in dropped and blocked connections, slower service speeds, or otherwise impact the quality of service. Services that rely on location information, such as E911 and GPS navigation, depend on a Mobile Device's ability to acquire satellite signals (which typically are not available indoors) and network coverage. While a Mobile Device is receiving a software update, a User may be unable to use a Mobile Device in any manner until the software update is complete.
  125.

If You wish to port any existing telephone numbers from another carrier to Republic Wireless, You must complete the authorized porting process using the Electronic Tools made available to You by Republic Wireless; You agree to follow Republic Wireless' then-current Policies, as directed by Community Care. In addition to completing the authorized porting process using the Electronic Tools, Republic Wireless may also require a recent copy of Your current phone bill which contains Your billing telephone number and a record of any other telephone number(s) to be ported to Republic Wireless. Valid authorization, bill copy(ies) and/or other records may be required by Republic Wireless before Republic Wireless will initiate a port request and obtain a Confirmed Port Date. The Confirmed Port Date will be established pursuant to industry and any applicable regulatory standards; however, since the time required to port number(s) will be affected by the accuracy of information provided to Republic Wireless by You, as well as the actions of Your pre-existing voice provider, Republic Wireless makes no assurances regarding the time required to port any number(s).

  170. 9. Billing and Payment; Credit Information.
  171.  
  172. (a) Republic Wireless will bill You, and You will pay, for the Republic Wireless Services at the rates stated in Your Service Plan, as well as any other charges or amounts as described in these Terms of Service. If You cancel Your Republic Wireless Services with Republic Wireless, Your credit card will be credited promptly following Your cancellation by an amount equal to any then applicable credits (including any ?Republic Refund?, as more fully described below in this Section 9(a), to which You may be entitled) as of the effective date of Your cancellation. Bills will include all applicable federal, state, and local taxes; all such taxes, and all use, sales, commercial, gross receipts, privilege, or other similar taxes, Surcharges, license fees, surcharges and miscellaneous fees, including but not limited to regulatory fees such as Universal Service Fund (together, "Taxes" "Fees" and "Surcharges"), whether or not charged to or against Republic Wireless, will be payable by You. However, if You provide proof of Your exempt status for a specific Tax, Fee or Surcharge, Republic Wireless will not charge the applicable Tax, Fee or Surcharge due to such exemption. If applicable, You will use the Electronic Tools made available to You by Republic Wireless to supply Republic Wireless a valid and properly executed tax exemption certificate(s); You agree to follow Republic Wireless' then-current Policies, as directed by Community Care. In such cases You remain responsible for, and agree to pay, any and all remaining non-exempt Taxes and Fees; tax exemption status validation is solely Your responsibility and Republic Wireless will not be obligated to consider any retroactive tax exemption. Surcharges are not taxes and Republic Wireless is not required to assess You Surcharges; Surcharges are charges Republic Wireless chooses to collect from You, are part of Republic Wireless' rates and are retained by Republic Wireless in whole or in part; the number and type of Surcharges will be available to You and may vary depending upon the location of the billing address of the Mobile Device and can change over time; Republic Wireless determines the rate for these charges and these amounts are subject to change as are the components used to calculate these amounts. Republic Wireless will commence billing pursuant to these Terms of Service on the Activation Date or any applicable change to Your Service Plan; provided, however, Republic Wireless will bill You for Your Mobile Device on the date Republic Wireless or an Authorized Retailer ships Your Mobile Device, if earlier than the Activation Date. The charges applicable to the Republic Wireless Services for the calendar month immediately following the Activation Date (and any other amounts due pursuant to the Service Plan) will be billed on the Activation Date. Thereafter, the charges applicable to the Republic Wireless Services will be billed on or about the same day each calendar month. (If You happen to get billed between the 29th and the 31st on Your first month, do not think that You are going to get a free month in February. We love You, but we have to keep the lights on too.) Any applicable Usage charges are billed after the actual calls and Usage has occurred in accordance with the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service and Your Service Plan.
  173.  
  174. The following applies ONLY to the 1.0 Plans: If You change Your Service Plan to any 1.0 Plan that includes a higher monthly charge than Your 1.0 Plan in effect before the change, the amount due for Your changed 1.0 Plan will be calculated based on a pro rata application of amounts previously paid in connection with Your 1.0 Plan. If You change Your 1.0 Plan to a plan that includes a lower monthly charge than Your 1.0 Plan in effect before the change, You will be credited as of the date of the change of Your 1.0 Plan on a pro rata application of amounts previously paid with respect to the remaining days in Your billing cycle; You will be billed, subject to deduction for any applicable credits, the pro rata amount for any remaining days in Your billing cycle and any credits will be retained for application to subsequent billing cycle(s) as applicable. If You are using a 1.0 Plan, You may switch to a 2.0 Plan at any time as long as You are continuing to use a Legacy Mobile Device. Once You switch a Service Line Account to a 2.0 Plan, You will be able to switch that same Service Line Account back to a 1.0 Plan one time and one time only. If You were using a 2.0 Plan, switched to a 1.0 Plan and then subsequently switched back to a 2.0 Plan, the Service Line Account will remain on the 2.0 Plan and You will not be able to return that Service Line Account to a 1.0 Plan. If You have a Service Line Account that is using a 1.0 Plan and you purchase a Mobile Device that is not a Legacy Mobile Device for use with that Service Line Account, you will have to choose a 3.0 Plan for that Service Line Account. Once you change Your Service Line Account to a 3.0 Plan, You will not be eligible to return that Service Line Account to a 1.0 Plan unless (x) it is the first time Your Service Line Account has been changed to a 3.0 Plan and (y) you cancel your 3.0 Plan within the first fourteen (14) days of the Activation Date of Your 3.0 Plan (referred to herein as the ?One Time 3.0 to 1.0 Return?). To return to a 1.0 Plan, You must use a Legacy Mobile Device.
  175.  
  176. The following applies ONLY to the 2.0 Plans: At the end of each of Your billing cycles, Republic Wireless will determine, in its reasonable determination based upon customary industry practices, how much cellular data Your Legacy Mobile Device has used in the previous billing cycle (?Cellular Data Usage?). For the purpose of calculating Your Cellular Data Usage for all purposes related to these Terms of Service, unless You are notified otherwise by Republic Wireless, any cellular data that you use when roaming will be multiplied by a roaming factor of eighteen and three tenths (18.3) times. As an example, when the roaming factor is eighteen and three tenths (18.3), then, if You use 1MB of cellular data, the 1MB will count as 18.3 MB for the purpose of calculating your Cellular Data Usage. Republic Wireless reserves the right to change this roaming factor; however, so long as Republic Wireless charges fifteen U.S. Dollars ($15.00) for 1GB of cellular data, the roaming factor will not exceed eighteen and three tenths (18.3). If Your Cellular Data Usage is less than the amount of cellular data You purchased during the applicable billing cycle pursuant to Your applicable 2.0 Plan and Your applicable Legacy Mobile Device, Republic Wireless will issue You a ?Republic Refund.? Your Republic Refund will be equal to the pro-rated amount of the monthly amount You paid for the cellular data that You DID NOT use during the applicable billing cycle. Your Republic Refund, if any, will equal (i) (X) the cellular data that You purchased during the applicable billing cycle pursuant to Your applicable 2.0 Plan, minus (Y) Your Cellular Data Usage during the applicable billing cycle, calculated as described above, divided by (ii) the cellular data that You purchased during the applicable billing cycle pursuant to Your applicable 2.0 Plan, multiplied by (iii) the cost of your 2.0 Plan that exceeds $10.00 (Remember: $10.00 is the cost of a WiFi + Cell Talk & Text Service Plan that includes unlimited WiFi and cellular talk and text, but does not include cellular data or access to Data Services or Data Content if WiFi is not available. (Math is hard. Let?s consider a couple of examples to make sure everyone understands the calculation of any Republic Refund). If You purchased the $25.00 2.0 Plan that includes 1 GB of cellular data, You purchased 1 GB of cellular data for $15.00 for the applicable billing cycle ($25.00 - $10.00 cost of a WiFi + Cell Talk & Text Service Plan); if You used only 0.5 GB of cellular data in the applicable billing cycle, Republic Wireless would issue You a Republic Refund of $7.50. If You purchased the $40.00 2.0 Plan that includes 2GB of cellular data, You purchased 2 GB of cellular data for $30.00 for the applicable billing cycle ($40.00 - $10.00 cost of a WiFi + Cell Talk & Text Service Plan); if You still used only 0.5 GB of cellular data in the applicable billing cycle, Republic Wireless would issue You a Republic Refund of $22.50. Either way, if You used 0.5 GB of cellular data in this example, You will have actually paid the same $7.50 after applying the Republic Refund. Remember that the calculation of Your Cellular Data Usage also will depend upon any cellular data that you use when roaming as described above.) The Republic Refund, if any, will be in credit form only and will be automatically applied to your next billing cycle. The Republic Refund, if any, will be determined for each Legacy Mobile Device individually. If You have multiple Legacy Mobile Devices under Your account, the Republic Refund will be determined for each Legacy Mobile Device. If Your account terminates for any reason pursuant to these Terms and Conditions any earned Republic Refund not already used will be credited to You in accordance with this Section 9(a). Except for the credit contemplated in these Terms of Service, if applicable, Republic Refunds have no cash value. Republic Refunds are not transferable.
  177.  
  178. THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO USE A 1.0 PLAN AND YOU SWITCH FROM A 2.0 PLAN TO A 1.0 PLAN DURING A BILLING CYCLE: If You decide to leave a 2.0 Plan on a Legacy Mobile Device prior to the expiration of an applicable billing cycle, You will be charged the following for that Legacy Mobile Device: (X)on a pro rata basis for the WiFi + Cell Talk and Text services in the 2.0 Plan, plus (y) the amount of cellular data You purchased during the 2.0 Plan billing cycle minus any Republic Refund You are owed for Your Cellular Data Usage, that You will receive as a credit in the manner specified in this Section 9 above, plus (z) on a pro rata basis, the charges for the 1.0 Plan you switched to after you left the 2.0 Plan. As an example, if You purchased a 2.0 Plan with Wi-Fi + Cell Talk & Text plus 1GB of cellular data for $25.00 and decided half-way through Your billing cycle, after using 0.5 GB of cellular data, to leave the 2.0 Plan and return to the 1.0 Plan for Wi-Fi + Cell Talk & Text + 4G cellular data for $40.00 a month, You would be charged the following: For the 2.0 Plan: (a) $5.00 for the Wi-Fi + Cell Talk & Text portion (Wi-Fi + Cell Talk & Text costs $10.00 for the full month. Because You would have only used it for half the month, Your pro rata basis is $5.00); plus (b) $15.00 for the 1 GB of cellular data purchased for the 2.0 Plan, minus $7.50 in Republic Refund for the unused portion of that cellular data, which will be automatically repaid to You as a credit in accordance with Section 9(a); plus (c) $20.00 for the 1.0 Plan for Wi-Fi + Talk & Text + 4G cellular data (The 1.0 Plan for Wi-Fi + Talk & Text + 4G cellular data is $40.00 a month, and Your pro rata basis for half a month?s usage would be $20.00).
  179.  
  180. THE FOLLOWING APPLIES IF YOU ARE USING A 1.0 OR 2.0 PLAN AND PURCHASE A NEW MOBILE DEVICE THAT IS NOT A LEGACY MOBILE DEVICE.
  181.  
  182. If You are currently using a 1.0 or 2.0 Plan and you decide to change your Legacy Mobile Device to a non-Legacy Mobile Device, You will need to switch your Service Plan to a 3.0 Plan. When you switch in the middle of Your billing cycle, the following occurs:
  183.  
  184. When you switch from a 1.0 Plan to a 3.0 Plan: The amount due will be calculated based on a pro rata application of amount of time during the billing cycle that You were using Your respective 1.0 and 3.0 Plan.
  185.  
  186. When you switch from a 2.0 Plan to a 3.0 Plan: The amount due will be calculated based on (x) a pro rata basis for the WiFi + Cell Talk and Text services in the 2.0 Plan, plus (y) the amount of cellular data You purchased during the 2.0 Plan billing cycle minus any Republic Refund You are owed for Your Cellular Data Usage, that You will receive as a credit in the manner specified in this Section 9 above, plus (z) on a pro rata basis, the charges for the 3.0 Plan You switched to after You left the 2.0 Plan
  187.  
  188. THE FOLLOWING APPLIES IF YOU ARE USING A 3.0 PLAN AND YOU PURCHASE A LEGACY MOBILE DEVICE.
  189.  
  190. If You are currently using a 3.0 Plan and you decide to change your Mobile Device to a Legacy Mobile Device, you will need to switch your Service Plan to a 2.0 Plan unless You meet the requirements of the One Time 3.0 to 1.0 Plan Return. When you switch from a 3.0 Plan to a 2.0 Plan in the middle of Your billing cycle, the following occurs: The amount due will be calculated based on (X) a pro rata basis, the charges for the 3.0 Plan, (Y) a pro rata basis, the charges for the WiFi+ Cell Talk and Text services in the 2.0 Plan, plus (z) the amount of cellular data You purchased during the 2.0 Plan billing cycle minus any Republic Refund You are owed for Your Cellular Data Usage, that You will receive as a credit in the manner specified in this Section 9 above.
  191.  
  192. When you switch from a 3.0 Plan to a 1.0 Plan in the middle of Your billing cycle, the following occurs: The amount due will be calculated based on a pro rata application of amount of time during the billing cycle that You were using Your respective 1.0 and 3.0 Plan.
  193.  
  194. THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY TO THE 3.0 PLANS.
  195.  
  196. If You change Your 3.0 Service Plan during a monthly billing cycle to a higher priced 3.0 Service Plan, You will only be charged for the higher plan amount. If You change Your 3.0 Service Plan during a monthly billing cycle to a lower priced 3.0 Service Plan, You will only be charged for the higher plan amount. Once Your monthly billing cycle has ended, starting at the beginning of the next monthly billing cycle, Your 3.0 Service Plan will automatically be adjusted to the last 3.0 Service Plan you chose for the monthly billing cycle that just ended.
  197.  
  198. (b) You agree that all payments by You will be made to Republic Wireless via credit card or debit card. Republic Wireless may change the types of cards accepted by Republic Wireless at any time in its sole discretion. You are solely responsible for the use of the account from which payment is made. If You provide an account number that Republic Wireless accepts for payment, You authorize Republic Wireless to charge all amounts You owe, then or later, to that account and to demand immediate payment from the card issuer. You also agree to pay, pursuant to the terms of Your agreement with Your card issuer, the amounts charged to such account. Each time You or Users use the Republic Wireless Services, You reaffirm that Republic Wireless is authorized to charge Your credit or debit card. You authorize Republic Wireless to charge purchases made online to the account supplied by You to Republic Wireless. You are solely responsible to notify Republic Wireless promptly if the card information that You previously provided to Republic Wireless is no longer accurate. You acknowledge that, if Your card is rejected, or payments are disputed, Republic Wireless may terminate these Terms of Service, the Republic Wireless Services and/or Your Service Plan until payments are resumed and received or disputes have been finally resolved and You will remain solely responsible for all payments due if Your card is rejected. You acknowledge that Republic Wireless may not be able to distinguish between credit and debit cards. While Republic Wireless may send You messages about Your billing, Republic Wireless is not obligated to do so and may change or cease its messages at any time.
  199.  
  200. (c) If Republic Wireless terminates the Republic Wireless Services for You due to Default, then, in addition to any other amounts then due and payable by You to Republic Wireless, You also will be obligated to pay to Republic Wireless the fees described in these Terms of Service and/or Service Plan. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Republic Wireless may immediately limit, suspend or terminate the Republic Wireless Services for You.
  201.  
  202. (d) Republic Wireless retains the right to bill, including, without limitation, amend or correct any bill previously issued, for the Republic Wireless Services provided pursuant to these Terms of Service, for a period of up to six (6) months, commencing from the date of the provision of the Republic Wireless Services to You. Republic Wireless will retain such billing rights for such six (6) month period notwithstanding any prior billing to You for the same period(s) and regardless of any otherwise conflicting billing conditions in these Terms of Service. For the duration of such six (6) month period, Republic Wireless will not be deemed to have waived any rights with regard to billing for the Republic Wireless Services provided pursuant to these Terms of Service during such period, nor will any legal or equitable doctrines apply, including estoppel or laches. (Our lawyers tell us that they know what these words mean.) Unpaid bills and/or charges may be sent to third party collection agencies.
  203.  
  204. (e) If Republic Wireless at any time limits or suspends Your use of the Republic Wireless Services pursuant to these Terms of Service and/or Republic Wireless' Acceptable Use Policy, (i) Republic Wireless will notify You of such limitation or suspension by email or text message to Your email address(es) or phone number(s) on Republic Wireless' books and records and/or through the Electronic Tools made available to You by Republic Wireless; (ii) Republic Wireless may, in Republic Wireless' sole discretion, restore the Republic Wireless Services to You and may condition such restoration upon satisfaction of such conditions as Republic Wireless determines necessary; (iii) Republic Wireless will not bill You for any portion of any applicable billing period during which Republic Wireless has suspended Your use of the Republic Wireless Services pursuant to these Terms of Service and/or Republic Wireless' Acceptable Use Policy, but may bill You at Republic Wireless' customary rates applicable to any reduced Service Plan to which Republic Wireless has limited You; provided, however, the applicable Service Term will extend by a period of time equal to the period of Republic Wireless' suspension of Your use of the Republic Wireless Services and any amounts due and payable with respect to the applicable Service Term, as extended, will remain due and payable pursuant to these Terms of Service and Your Service Plan.

  253.  
  254. 19. Acceptable Use Policy; Usage Limitations; Off-Network Roaming; Other Usage Matters; Matters Related to Data Services.
  255.  
  256. (a) All use of the Republic Wireless Services must comply with Republic Wireless' Acceptable Use Policy, which is posted at www.republicwireless.com/legal/aup, and is incorporated herein by reference. By using the Republic Wireless Services, You agree to comply with the AUP, as modified by Republic Wireless from time to time in Republic Wireless' sole discretion. Any amendment to the AUP will be effective immediately upon the posting of the modified AUP at www.republicwireless.com/legal/aup. In addition, any SMS or MMS messages that You send (a) will not contain any material that is unlawful; (b) will not violate or infringe any copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret or right of privacy or publicity or any other personal or proprietary right of any third parties; (c) will not contain any Unauthorized Code; and (d) will not include any spamming, mail-bombing, spoofing or any fraudulent, illegal, or unauthorized use. You are solely responsible and liable for all use of the Republic Wireless Services by any User, even if such use occurs without Your permission.
  257.  
  258. (b) Your Service Plan may include limitations on Your Usage. If Your Service Plan includes cellular data Usage, Your Service Plan also will include either (i) limitations on the use of or (ii) additional conditions applicable to roaming cellular data Usage. These limitations may take the form of reducing your cellular network data speeds to slower download and upload speeds than would otherwise be available on your cellular connection based upon your Service Plan or administering device-specific methods to restrict full access to high speed cellular data to permit Republic Wireless to appropriately manage its network; if these limitations apply, Your Service Plan nonetheless will not change and amounts charged to you for any applicable billing period will be unaffected by these limitations. The limitations described in this Section 19(b) will not affect your Usage when WiFi is available.
  259.  
  260. THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS APPLY ONLY TO THE 1.0 PLANS: WiFi Only Service Plan: Except for 911 calls, You will not be able to use Your Mobile Device(s) for Usage if WiFi is not available. WiFi + Cell Talk & Text Service Plan: Includes unlimited WiFi and US Domestic cellular talk and text; You will not be able to use your Mobile Device(s) to access Data Services or Data Content if WiFi is not available.
  261.  
  262. WiFi + Cell + 3G Service Plan or WiFi + Cell + 4G Service Plan: Includes unlimited WiFi and US Domestic cellular talk and text; cellular network data speeds may be reduced from full speeds otherwise applicable under Your Service Plan for the remainder of a billing period if your monthly cellular data Usage exceeds 5GB of cellular data Usage more than once in any six (6) month period. If, in the prior six (6) months You have been an active customer of the Republic Wireless Services and Your cellular data Usage has not exceeded 5 GB, You will be granted an additional 5 GB of cellular data Usage before your data speeds are reduced. The 1.0 Plans do not include any roaming cellular data.
  263.  
  264. THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS APPLY ONLY TO THE 2.0 PLANS: If You wish to use cellular data during any applicable billing cycle, You must purchase cellular data according to, and at the then prevailing prices provided by, a 2.0 Plan. If, as determined by Republic Wireless in its reasonable determination based upon customary industry practices, You do not use all the cellular data You purchased in an applicable billing cycle, You will be eligible for a Republic Refund pursuant to Section 9 above. For the purpose of calculating Your Cellular Data Usage for all purposes related to these Terms of Service, unless otherwise notified by Republic Wireless, any cellular data that you use when roaming will be multiplied by a roaming factor of eighteen and three tenths (18.3) times. If in any applicable billing cycle, You (x) do not purchase cellular data pursuant to a 2.0 Plan, or (y) consume all the cellular data you purchased pursuant to a 2.0 Plan without purchasing additional cellular data, You will no longer have access to cellular data for the remainder of the billing cycle. (Said a different way, your cellular data ?gas tank? will be on empty.) You will still have unlimited Wi-Fi when available.
  265.  
  266. THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS APPLY ONLY TO THE 3.0 PLANS: WiFi + Cell Talk and Text Service Plan: Includes unlimited WiFi and US domestic talk and text; You will not be able to use your Mobile Device(s) to access Data Services or Data Content if WiFi is not available. WiFi + Cell Talk and Text + a specific GB amount of cellular data as included in a specific Service Plan. Includes unlimited WiFi and US domestic cellular talk and text; cellular data is the amount included in Your specific Service Plan. If You use Your allotted amount of cellular data before Your billing cycle ends, You will no longer have any cellular data until either (i) the beginning of the next billing cycle or (ii) or You purchase a Service Plan with a larger amount of cellular data within the same billing cycle. By way of example, if Your Service Plan includes 1 GB of cellular data and you use all 1 GB of cellular data before the end of Your billing cycle, You will not have any access to cellular data until the beginning of Your next billing cycle unless You purchase a Service Plan with a larger amount of cellular data, such as a Service Plan which includes 2 GB of cellular data. The 3.0 Plans do not include any roaming cellular data.
  267.  
  268. If Your Service Plan includes an amount of cellular data, and during a billing cycle you change Your Service Plan, Your cellular data limit for that particular billing cycle is the largest amount of cellular data included any of the Service Plans You chose during the billing cycle. You will also be charged for that billing cycle the cost of the Service Plan that contained the most cellular data. By way of example, if You begin the billing cycle with the $20 Service Plan that includes 1GB of cellular data and during the billing cycle, change Your plan to the $45 Service Plan with 4 GB of cellular data and before the end of the billing cycle change to the $30 Service Plan with 2 GB of cellular data, the total amount of cellular data You have access to for the entire billing cycle is 4 GB and You will be charged for the $45 Service Plan. Beginning with the next billing cycle, You will charged for Your most recent Service Plan. In this example, Your most recent Service Plan would be the $30 Service Plan with 2 GB of cellular data.
  269.  
  270. You do not carry over any unused cellular data from one billing cycle to another, even if You do not use the full amount of Your Service Plan?s allotted amount of cellular data during the billing cycle. Put another way, unused cellular data does not ?roll-over? from one billing cycle to the next. You will begin each new billing cycle with a limit of cellular data that is equal to the amount of cellular data included in Your Service Plan for that particular billing cycle. Once again, as a reminder, the 3.0 Plans do not include any roaming cellular data.
  271.  
  272. (c) In addition to those uses prohibited as illegal, improper or inappropriate pursuant to Republic Wireless' Acceptable Use Policy or otherwise, You will not (and will not permit Users to): (i) generate excessive network traffic through the continuous, unattended streaming, downloading or uploading of videos or other files or otherwise, or the operation of hosting services, each as determined by Republic Wireless in its sole discretion, (ii) maintain continuous active network connections through the use of a web camera or other machine-to-machine connections that do not involve active participation by a person; (iii) utilize excessively, as determined by Republic Wireless in its sole discretion, any community member support; (iv) utilize any Mobile Device(s) in a manner inconsistent with normal consumer usage, including, without limitation, any disassembly or modification of any Mobile Device(s) or any cabling of any Mobile Device(s) to any unaffiliated location; (v) modify any software included in any Mobile Device(s); (vi) utilize any Mobile Device(s) as a modem for computers or other equipment (or otherwise tether such Mobile Device to any such computers or other equipment), unless Republic Wireless identifies the Service Plan and/or Mobile Device provided as specifically intended for that purpose; (vii) violate or infringe any copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret or right of privacy or publicity or any other personal or proprietary right of any third parties; (viii) will not send or attempt to send any message(s) that include a virus, Trojan horse, worm, back door, trap door, time bomb, drop-dead device, timer, clock, counter or other limiting routine, as well as any other instructions, designs, software routines, or hardware components designed to: (A) disable, erase, or otherwise harm software, hardware, data, text or any other information stored in electronic form; (B) cause any of the foregoing with the passage of time; or (C) place a program or hardware under the positive control of a person other than an owner or licensee of the program or hardware; or (ix) will not send or attempt to send any message(s) that include any spamming, mail-bombing, spoofing or any fraudulent, illegal or unauthorized use.
  273.  
  274. (d) The Mobile Device(s) allow Users to access the internet, text, pictures, video, games, graphics, music, email, applications, sound and other materials ("Data Content") or send Data Content elsewhere. Some Data Content is available from Republic Wireless or Republic Wireless' vendors, while other Data Content can be accessed from others (third party websites, games, ringers, etc.). Republic Wireless makes absolutely no guarantees about the Data Content any User accesses on any Mobile Device. Data Content may be: (i) unsuitable for children/minors; (ii) unreliable or inaccurate; or (iii) offensive, indecent or objectionable. (We know that none of this surprises You, but our lawyers still tell us we have to tell You in writing.) Users are solely responsible for evaluating the Data Content accessed by Users or anyone on Your account. Data Content from third parties may also harm Mobile Device(s) or its software. To protect the network operated by Republic Wireless, services, or for other reasons, Republic Wireless may place restrictions on accessing certain Data Content (such as certain websites, applications, etc.), impose separate charges, limit throughput or the amount of data You and/or any User can transfer, or otherwise limit or terminate the Republic Wireless Services and/or these Terms of Service. You and/or Users may not be able to make or receive voice calls while using Data Services. Data Content provided by Republic Wireless' vendors or third parties is subject to cancellation or termination at any time without notice to You and You may not receive a refund for any unused portion of the Data Content.
  275.  
  276. (e) You will not use the Data Services: (1) with server devices or host computer applications, or other systems that drive continuous heavy traffic or data sessions; (2) as a substitute or backup for private lines or frame relay connections; or (3) for any other unintended use as Republic Wireless determines in its sole discretion. Republic Wireless may limit, suspend or constrain any heavy, continuous data usage that adversely impacts network performance or hinders access to the network operated by Republic Wireless (and/or any other underlying carrier's network). You (and Users) will not use any Mobile Device as a modem for computers or other equipment (or otherwise tether such Mobile Device to any such computers or other equipment), unless specifically identified and approved by Republic Wireless.
  277.  
  278. (f) In addition to any other rights or remedies that Republic Wireless may have pursuant to these Terms of Service, the Republic Wireless Service may be slowed, suspended, terminated or restricted for misuse, interference with Republic Wireless' network or Republic Wireless' ability to provide service to other customers.
  279.  
  280. (g) Except for 711 and 911, You will not be able to make other calls using 411, 511, 811 or other N11 services with the Republic Wireless Service. Your use of 911 is subject to Section 2 above and the Notice of 911 and E911 Service Limitations.
  281.  
  282. 20. Resale Prohibition. The Republic Wireless Services are provided for Your use only. You may not under any circumstances resell or offer to resell the Republic Wireless Services. Any failure by You to comply with this Section 20 will constitute a Default pursuant to these Terms of Service without any applicable cure period. In addition to any other rights or remedies that Republic Wireless may have as a result of such Default, including, without limitation, termination of these Terms of Service, You also will be liable to Republic Wireless for any additional charges and/or damages which may be incurred by Republic Wireless as a result of any unauthorized resale or offer to resell. If You resell Your Mobile Device to anyone else and Republic Wireless then permits the re-activation of the Mobile Device, the purchaser must comply with any Policies Republic Wireless then has in effect to activate Republic Wireless Services for the Mobile Device.
  283.  
  284. 21. Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties do not intend by the execution, delivery, or performance of these Terms of Service to confer any benefit, direct or incidental, upon any person or entity not a party to these Terms of Service. All references to Your mother are for amusement only; Your mother is not a third party beneficiary of these Terms of Service.
  285.  
  286. 22. Dispute Resolution Process; Governing Law. We think Republic Wireless and You will get along extraordinarily well. That being said:
  287.  
  288. (a) It is the mutual desire of the parties to promptly and fully resolve any dispute arising in connection with these Terms of Service in good faith, confidentially, and informally with minimal transaction costs; no public statement may be made by any party regarding any such dispute. If either party determines that the dispute cannot be resolved informally, then such party will initiate an escalation process by giving written notice ("Escalation Notice") to the other party. You and an authorized representative of Republic Wireless will meet in person or by conference call, together with any persons assisting them, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Escalation Notice. All negotiations conducted by You and an authorized representative of Republic Wireless are confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any state rules of evidence. You and an authorized representative of Republic Wireless will conduct such additional meetings as they deem necessary to exchange relevant information, will appoint staff to engage in resolution of any disputed facts, and will attempt to resolve the dispute. Should You and an authorized representative of Republic Wireless be unable to resolve the dispute within such fifteen (15) days, or within such additional time as the parties may otherwise agree to in writing, either party may demand mediation, whereupon the parties will, in good faith, mediate the dispute no later than thirty (30) days after such demand through the services of a mutually selected mediator, the cost of whom will be borne equally by the parties, at a date and location selected by the mediator after consultation with the parties. IF THE DISPUTE IS NOT RESOLVED AFTER APPLYING THE ESCALATION PROCEDURES SET FORTH ABOVE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, AND AGREE TO SUBMIT ALL CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS AND MATTERS OF DIFFERENCE TO ARBITRATION ACCORDING TO THE COMMERCIAL RULES AND PRACTICES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA"). Arbitration hereunder will occur within sixty (60) days of the date of submission before a single neutral arbitrator having significant experience in the subject matter of these Terms of Service and who will be selected in accordance with AAA rules. Arbitration proceedings will take place in Wake County, North Carolina. Discovery will be permitted, including the use of interrogatories, requests for admission and production of documents and depositions. If the amount claimed to be in dispute is less than $500,000, all applicable expedited procedures of the AAA will apply. The arbitrator's fees and costs of the arbitration will be borne by the party against whom the award is rendered, except that if the arbitrator issues a split decision, granting partial relief to both parties, the arbitrator will equitably allocate the arbitrator's fees and other costs. Each party will pay its attorney's fees related to any dispute related to these Terms of Service. The arbitration award will be final and binding on both parties of these Terms of Service, will not be subject to any appeal and will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  289.  
  290. (b) ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU WILL NOT BE A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
  291.  
  292. (c) These Terms of Service will be governed by, construed under and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina without reference to its choice of law principles or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. In the event any party brings a civil action or initiates judicial proceedings of any kind related to these Terms of Service (except for actions to enter or collect on judgments), the parties consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in Wake County, North Carolina and the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its costs, including reasonable attorney's fees.
  293.  
  294. 23. Notices. Any notice(s) to You pursuant to these Terms of Service, including, without limitation, any notices of material changes to these Terms of Service, will be sent to Your primary contact of record as provided by You to Republic Wireless. Notice(s) to You will be deemed to be delivered when sent via one or any combination of the following on Republic Wireless' books and records: Your email address(s) and/or posting to any Electronic Tool made available to You by Republic Wireless; Your facsimile number; and/or next-day delivery service (for example, FedEx or the United States Postal Service) to Your physical or postal address.
