Terms and Conditions
Your Bill
Your bill provides you notice of your charges. It reflects monthly recurring charges (usually
billed one bill cycle in advance) and usage/transaction specific charges (usually billed in the
bill cycle in which they’re incurred). Some usage charges, such as those that depend on
usage information from a third party, may be billed in subsequent bill cycles and result in
higher than expected charges for that month. Bill cycles and dates may change from time to
time.
Your bill may also include other important notices (for example, changes to this
Agreement, to your Service, legal notices, etc.). Your paper bill may not include itemized
billing detail. More specific billing information is available online. Paper bills with itemized
detail may be subject to an additional charge. Unless prohibited by law, other charges (for
example, data Services or taxes and surcharges) will not include itemized detail but will be
listed as total charges for a category. If you choose internet billing, you will not receive paper
bills.
Your Payments; Late Fees
Payment is due in full as stated on your bill. If we do not receive payment in full by the date
specified on your bill, a late payment charge, which may be charged at the highest rate
permissible by law, may be applied to the total unpaid balance. We may also charge you
any costs we pay to a collection agency to collect unpaid balances from you. If we bill you
for amounts on behalf of a third party, payments received are first applied to our charges.
You may be charged additional fees for certain methods of payment. We may charge you,
up to the highest amount permitted by law, for returned checks or other payments paid by
you and denied for any reason by a financial institution. Acceptance of payments (even if
marked “paid in full”) does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us. We
may restrict your payment methods to cashier’s check, money order, or other similar secure
form of payment at any time for good reason.
Taxes & Government Fees
You agree to pay all federal, state and local taxes, fees and other assessments that we’re
required by law to collect and remit to the government on the Services we provide to you.
These charges may change from time to time without advance notice. If you’re claiming any
tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid exemption certificate. Tax exemptions
generally won’t be applied retroactively.
Surcharges
You agree to pay all surcharges (“Surcharges”), which may include, but are not limited to:
Federal Universal Service, various regulatory charges, Sprint administrative charges, gross
receipts charges, and charges for the costs we incur in complying with governmental
programs.
Surcharges are not taxes and are not required by law. They are rates we choose to
collect from you and are kept by us in whole or in part. The number and type of Surcharges
may vary depending upon the location of the billing address of the Device and can change
over time. We determine the rate for these charges and these amounts are subject to change
as are the components used to calculate these amounts.
We will provide you notice of any
changes to Surcharges in a manner consistent with this Agreement (see “Providing Notice
To Each Other Under The Agreement” section). However, since some Surcharges are based
on amounts set by the government or based on government formulas, it will not always be
