Your Sprint PCS Account Passwords

As a Sprint PCS customer, you enjoy unlimited access
to your personal account information, your voicemail
account, and your Sprint PCS Vision account. To ensure
that no one else has access to your information, you
will need to create passwords to protect your privacy.

If you are the account owner, you’ll have an account
password to sign on to www.sprintpcs.com and to use
when calling Sprint Customer Service. Your default
account password is the last four digits of your Social
Security number. If you are not the account owner (if
someone else pays for your Sprint PCS Service), you
can get a subaccount password at www.sprintpcs.com.

Finding your phone’s ESN

The ESN, or Electronic Serial Number, is an 11-digit
number written on the barcode sticker attached to
the phone. If you set up service using your Sprint PCS
Phone, the network automatically communicates the
ESN to Sprint. You’ll only need this number when
you’re calling Sprint to set up your service from a
phone other than your new Sprint PCS Phone. To nd
your phone’s ESN, remove the phone’s battery.

ESN: _________________________________________

After writing down the ESN, replace the battery and
turn your phone on by holding down the key
for a few seconds.

Warranty Information

Performance and Safety

37

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception

Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal
strength in your area. Your device informs you of the current signal
strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength
icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. If you’re
inside a building, being near a window may give you better
reception.

Understanding the Power Save Feature

If your device's phone is unable to nd a signal after 15 minutes of
searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your
phone is active, it periodically rechecks service availability, or you
can check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save
feature is activated, a message displays on the screen. When a signal
is found, your phone returns to standby mode.

Understanding How Your Device's Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s
turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals.
When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls
the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts
in digital mode.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards
described below.

In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined
in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to
human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers
and physicians from universities, government health agencies and
industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the
available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation.
In August 1996, the FCC adopted a hybrid standard consisting of the
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the
National Council of Radiation Protections and Measurements
(NCRP).

36

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.

● Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended

and over your shoulder.

● Try not to hold, bend or twist the phone’s antenna.

● Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.

● Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

● Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or

liquid spills.

For the best care of your device, only Sprint Authorized Personnel should

Tip:

service your device and accessories. Faulty service may void the
warranty.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your
Device's Phone

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD
TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY
DAMAGE.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone
without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some
jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specic restrictions. Remember that

safety always comes rst.

When using your phone in the car:

● Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed dial

and redial.

● When available, use a hands-free device.

● Position your phone within easy reach.

● Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if

necessary, suspend the call in heavy trafc or hazardous
weather conditions.

● Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.

Safety

37

● Dial sensibly and assess the trafc; if possible, place calls when

39

stationary or before pulling into trafc.

● Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may

divert your attention from the road.

● Dial 911 to report serious emergencies. It’s free from your

wireless phone.

● Use your phone to help others in emergencies.

● Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless

number when necessary.

Tip:

Purchase an optional hands-free car kit at your local Sprint Store, or call
the Sprint PCS Accessory HotlineSM at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing #
222 on your Sprint PCS Vision Smart Device.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efciently, always follow any
special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas
where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or
danger.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency
(RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect
inadequately shielded electronic equipment.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their
representative to determine if these systems are adequately
shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the
manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your
vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF signals.

38

Note:

Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission
before using the phone near medical equipment.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your device's phone before boarding any aircraft. To
prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to
have permission from a crew member to use your phone while
the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference,
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in
the air.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone
off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating
two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often
use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.

Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone
and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an
explosion or re, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These
areas are often, but not always, clearly marked.

They include:

● Fueling areas such as gas stations.

● Below deck on boats.

● Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

● Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as

grain, dust or metal powders.

● Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn

off your vehicle’s engine.

Note:

Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Safety

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone

Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as
they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or
make calls that increase your Sprint PCS Invoice.

39

Caring for the Battery

41

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.

● Use only Sprint-approved batteries and desktop chargers.

These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using
other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may
cause damage.

● In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in

temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).

● Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.

● Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

● Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

● Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

● The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a

long period of time.

● It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides

acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of
times before it needs replacing.

● Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long

periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

Less than one month:
4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

More than one month:
4° F to 113° F (-20°C to 45° C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries

For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your
nearest Sprint authorized service center.

Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some

areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may
be prohibited.

40

Note:

For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking Lilon battery.

Acknowledging Special Precautions and
the FCC Notice

FCC Notice

This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close
proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to
stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.

Vehicles using liqueed petroleum gas (propane or butane) must
comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58).
For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protections
Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269,
Attn.: Publication Sales Division.

Cautions

Any changes or modications to your phone not expressly
approved in this document could void your warranty for this
equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment.
Only use approved batteries, antennas and chargers. The use of
any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the
phone warranty if said cause damage or a defect to the phone.

Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of
equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending
or sitting on it.

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if
you wear a handset on your body, use the Sprint supplied or
approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If
you do not use a bodyworn accessory, ensure the antenna is at
least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when
transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved accessories may violate
FCC RF exposure guidelines.

For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Website
at www.fcc.gov

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless

43

Phones

The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.

The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much
RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest
value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of
a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC.
This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a
base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is
important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal
guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.

All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a
substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR
values between different model phones do not mean variations in
safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are
considered safe for use by the public.

The highest reported SAR values for the PPC6601 by Audiovox are:

AMPS mode (Part 22):

Head: 0.0926 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.0184 W/kg

PCS mode (Part 24):

Head: 0.122 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.30 W/kg

FCC Radiofrequency Emission

This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.
FCC ID number: NM8HARRIER. More information on the phone’s SAR
can be found from the following FCC Website:

basis, and that this paragraph does not apply to any increases in
such taxes, Universal Service fees or other charges.

Activating Service. Before activation, we may check your credit

and verify your identity. You must have and maintain satisfactory
credit to receive and continue to receive Services. We may charge
a nonrefundable activation fee, deposit, prepayment or other fee
to establish or maintain Services.

Term Commitments. Unless we specically tell you otherwise, our

service plans require that you maintain service for a minimum
term (“Term Service Plan”), usually 1 or 2 years. After satisfying
this minimum term, your service plan will continue on a
month-to-month basis unless you have agreed to extend the term

Using Services. You agree to not use our Services in an unlawful,

fraudulent or abusive manner. You may not resell or lease Services
to anyone. Sprint is not responsible for any opinions, advice,
statements, services applications or other information provided
by third parties and accessible through our various Services,
including the internet. Neither Sprint, its vendors or licensors
guarantees the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of
information that is obtained through these Services. You are

responsible for evaluating such content. You are also responsible for any
use of our Services through any wireless device on your account
including, but not limited to, use by children or minors. We strongly
recommend that you closely monitor any such usage.

Changing Services. Changes to Services will generally be effective

at the start of your next full invoicing cycle. In certain instances,
the changes may take place sooner, in which case your invoice
will reect pro-rated charges. Certain changes may be
conditioned upon payment of an Early Termination Fee or certain
other charges.

Conditions

Terms and

45

Termination of Services. Consistent with this Agreement: (a) we

47

may terminate Services at any time with notice to you and, in
certain instances, without notice; and (b) you may terminate
Services at any time with prior notice to us. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, IF YOU TERMINATE YOUR TERM
SERVICE PLAN EARLY, OR WE DO SO FOR GOOD CAUSE, YOU
WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY THE APPLICABLE EARLY
TERMINATION FEE ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR SERVICES. We will
not charge an Early Termination Fee for deactivations consistent
with our Return Policy or for service plans being provided on a
month-to-month basis. If any Services are terminated before the
end of your current invoicing cycle, we will not prorate charges
to the date of termination, and you will not receive a credit or
refund for any unused Services.

Wireless Devices, Numbers & E-mail Addresses. We did not

manufacture your wireless device and we are not responsible
for any defects or for the acts or omissions of the manufacturer.
The only warranties on your device are any limited warranties
extended by the manufacturer directly to you or passed on to you
through us. Your device may not accept Services directly from any
other carrier. You do not have any rights to any number, email
address or other identier we may assign to your device or
account; you may not modify, change or transfer any of these
except as we allow or as allowed for by law. In certain instances,
you may transfer your number from another carrier to us, or from
us to another carrier. We do not guarantee that transfers to or from
us will be successful. If you transfer your number away from us,
the terms of this Agreement (e.g., Early Termination Fee, etc.) still
apply. If a transfer to Sprint is not successful, you will be respon­sible for any discounts provided to you with the purchase of your
device. See our printed in-store materials or visit www.sprintpcs.com.
for additional important information on number transfers.

Coverage. Available coverage areas for Services are generally

identied in our mapping brochures and at www.sprintpcs.com. This
may include coverage on our digital network (the “Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network”) as well as coverage we make available
to you through agreements with other carriers (“off network” or
“roaming” coverage).

46

All coverage maps are high level representations of outdoor coverage and
there are gaps in coverage within areas shown as covered on the maps.
Coverage is not available everywhere, nor can we guarantee you will receive
coverage at all times, or without interruptions or delays (e.g., dropped calls,
blocked calls, etc.) in the coverage areas we identify. Actual coverage and
quality of Services may be affected by conditions within or beyond our
control, including network problems, software, signal strength, your
equipment, structures (including buildings in which you may be located),
atmospheric, geographic, or topographic conditions.

Roaming Coverage. You are roaming anytime your phone indicates

that you are roaming. Roaming coverage is only available with
certain devices and, unless included as part of your Services, will
result in additional charges. Roaming calls placed “manually”
(through an operator or with a credit card) will always incur
separate and additional charges. Depending on your phone
settings, you may automatically roam if there is a gap or
interruption in coverage within the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network coverage area and roaming coverage areas. See your
phone guide for how to adjust phone settings. Certain features and
services may not be available in roaming coverage areas (including
PCS Vision, voicemail, call waiting, call forwarding, etc.).

Charges. Carefully review the terms of your Services. You will be

assessed charges based on the terms of your Services including,
without limitation, monthly recurring charges and charges based on
actual usage (e.g., charges for long distance, roaming, call
forwarding, directory assistance, etc.). Airtime and other time based
usage charges are calculated from when your device rst initiates
contact with a network until the network connection is broken,
whether or not you were actually successful in connecting to the
intended destination. However, you will not be charged for voice
calls that ring and do not pick up, or if you get a busy signal. For
voice calls received by your device, you are charged from the time
shortly before the phone starts ringing until the call is terminated.
You are charged for an entire voice call based on the time period in
which the call is initiated. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to
the next minute.

Conditions

Terms and

47

Sprint PCS Vision Charges. Vision usage is measured in bytes, not in

49

minutes. Bytes are rounded up to kilobytes. Usage rounding
occurs at the top of each clock hour while in a session and at
the end of each session and is then charged to you based on the
terms of your Services. Depending on your Services, usage may
be charged against an allowance or on a xed price per kilobyte.
Usage charges may be rounded up to the next cent at monthly or
other intervals. In certain instances, you may not know that your
session has not ended. As long as your device is connected to our
network, you will incur data usage charges. You will be charged
for all data directed to the internet address (or “IP address”)
assigned to your device, regardless of who initiates the activity or
whether your device actually receives the data. This includes, but
is not limited to, the amount of data associated with the
particular information/item (e.g. game, ringer, email, etc.),
additional data used in accessing, transporting and routing this
information/item on our network, data from partial or
interrupted downloads, re-sent data, and data associated with
unsuccessful attempts to reach websites or use applications.
Based on these and a number of other factors (e.g., the specic
application, network performance, etc.) data used and charged to
you will vary widely, even for the same activity. Estimates of data
usage - for example, the size of downloadable les - will not be
accurate or a reliable predictor of actual usage. Your invoice will
not separately identify the number of kilobytes attributable to
your use of specic sites, sessions or services.

Taxes and Surcharges. We invoice you for taxes, fees and other

charges levied by or remitted directly to federal, state, local or
foreign governments including, without limitation, sales, gross
receipts, Universal Service, use, and excise taxes. If you claim
any tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid tax-exempt
document. Tax exemptions are not applied retroactively. We
also invoice you for surcharges that we collect and keep to pay
for the costs of complying with government programs such as
number pooling and portability, and Enhanced 911 service; these
charges are not the taxes nor government imposed assessments.

48

Invoicing & Payment. Invoicing cycles and dates may change from

time to time. Monthly recurring and related charges for Services are
generally invoiced one invoicing cycle in advance. Other charges
are invoiced soon after they are incurred. Most usage is generally
applied to the invoicing cycle in which they are incurred, but in
some instances may be applied to subsequent invoicing cycles. You
are responsible for all charges associated with any device activated
on your account, regardless of who used the device. You must pay
all charges by the due date on the invoice. Past due amounts accrue

late charges until paid at the rate of 5% per month or at the highest rate
allowed by law and may result in immediate suspension of your account. If

you agree to any autopayment option through banking or credit
account, we may initiate payment from the account for all amounts
we invoice you without additional authorization or notice. Based
on your credit or payment history, we may require certain forms
of guaranteed payment as a condition of maintaining Services. If
we invoice you for amounts on behalf of a third-party, payments
received are rst applied to amounts due to us. You may be charged
additional fees for certain methods of payment and for payments
denied by a nancial institution. Acceptance of payments (even
if marked “paid in full”) does not waive our right to collect all
amounts that you owe us.

Disputed Charges. Disputes concerning any charges invoiced must

be raised within 60 days of the date of the invoice. You accept all
charges not disputed in this time period. Disputes can only be made
by calling or writing us as directed on your invoice.

Account Spending Limit & Deposits. We may impose an account spend-

ing limit (“ASL”) on any account without notice. We will notify you
of an ASL based on your credit or payment history and may reduce
the ASL at any time with prior notice. An ASL should not be relied
on to manage usage on your account. We may suspend an account
without prior notice when the account balance reaches the ASL,
even if the account is not past due. Services can be restored upon
payment of an amount that brings the account balance below the
ASL and any past due amounts. If we require a deposit for you to
establish or maintain an account, we will hold the deposit as partial
guarantee of payment for Services. We may change the deposit

during this one-year period will not accrue interest for your
benet and are subject to a servicing fee charged against the
balance. You forfeit any portion of the money left after the one­year period.

Other Sprint PCS Vision Terms. You will not receive voice calls while

using Vision. Vision is not available for use with server devices or
host computer applications, other systems that drive continuous
heavy trafc or data sessions, or as substitutes for private lines or
frame relay connections. Unlimited Vision plans/options may not
be used with Sprint PCS phones or smart phones being used as
a modem in connection with other equipment (e.g., computers,
etc.) through use of connection kits or other
phone-to-computer/PDA accessories, or Bluetooth or other
wireless technology. We may terminate services without notice
for any misuse. You may have access to certain games, ringers,
screen savers and other items on our Vision site (“Premium
Services”) that are available for an additional charge. You will be
billed for Premium Service purchases on your Sprint PCS invoice
based on the charges as specied at purchase. Subject to the
terms of the content purchased, we may delete premium and
non-premium items downloaded to any storage areas we may
provide, including any pictures, games and other content. We may
limit the amount of Premium Services you may purchase in a
specic timeframe (month, week, day, or other time period).

Wireless Web. Wireless Web Services may be available depending

on your device and Service plan/option. This is not a Vision
service. Usage is calculated on minutes used and generally
deducts from your Service plan minutes. See our printed in-store
materials or visit www.sprintpcs.com for additional important
information on this option.

Lost or Stolen Equipment. If your device is lost or stolen, please

notify us immediately by calling 1-888-211-4PCS. You are

responsible for all charges incurred before you notify us of the loss or

50

theft. You agree to cooperate reasonably with us in investigating
suspected unlawful or fraudulent use.

Messaging. You may incur charges in accessing, sending or

receiving messages on your device. We may impose limits on the
number of voicemail, text, email or other messages that can be
retained through your account. Indicators of messages on your
device, including mailbox icons, may not always provide an up
to date indication of new messages and you may at times need
to manually reset or clear your mailbox indicator. Legitimate
messages may be interrupted by software aimed at prevention of
SPAM or similar messages.

Disclaimer of Warranties. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OF

WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (TO THE
EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
CONCERNING YOUR SERVICES OR WIRELESS DEVICE. WE DO
NOT PROMISE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICES
AND YOU AGREE TO HOLD US HARMLESS FOR ALL SUCH
PROBLEMS.

Limitation of Liability. Neither we nor our vendors, suppliers or

licensors are liable for any damages arising out of or in
connection with any: (a) act or omission by your, another person
or company; (b) providing or failing to provide Services,
including deciencies or problems with your wireless device, our
network coverage or Services (e.g., dropped, blocked,
interrupted calls/messages, etc.); (c) trafc or other accidents, or
any health-related claims allegedly arising from the use of
Services, any wireless devices or related accessories; (d) content
or information accessed while using our Services, such as
through the internet; (e) interruption or failure in accessing or
attempting to access emergency services from your phone,
including through 911, E911 or otherwise; or (f) events due to
factors beyond our control, including acts of God (including,
without limitation, weather-related phenomena, re or
earthquake), war, riot, strike, or orders of governmental authority.

Conditions

Terms and

51

In the event we are found to be responsible to you for monetary damages

53

relating to the Services (including wireless devices), you agree that any
such damages will not exceed the pro-rated monthly recurring charge for
your Services during the affected period.

NO CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES. UNDER NO

CIRCUMSTANCES ARE WE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY
NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
WITH PROVIDING OR FAILING TO PROVIDE SERVICES, PHONES
OR OTHER EQUIPMENT USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE
SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS,
LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR COST OF REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS
AND SERVICES. THIS SECTION SURVIVES TERMINATION OF
THIS AGREEMENT.

MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES. INSTEAD OF SUING IN

COURT, YOU AND SPRINT AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY AND ALL
CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES OR DISPUTES AGAINST EACH OTHER
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE SERVICES, ANY
PHONES/EQUIPMENT, OR ADVERTISING, EVEN IF IT ARISES
AFTER YOUR SERVICES HAVE TERMINATED, AND INCLUDING
CLAIMS YOU MAY BRING AGAINST SPRINT’S EMPLOYEES,
AGENTS, AFFILIATES OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, OR THAT
SPRINT MAY BRING AGAINST YOU (“CLAIMS”). THE FEDERAL
ARBITRATION ACT APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS
PROVISIONS, NOT STATE LAW, GOVERN ALL QUESTIONS OF
WHETHER A CLAIM IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. THIS
PROVISION DOES NOT PREVENT EITHER YOU OR SPRINT FROM
BRINGING APPROPRIATE CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT,
BEFORE THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION OR A
STATE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION. YOU AND SPRINT
FURTHER AGREE THAT NEITHER SPRINT NOR YOU WILL JOIN
ANY CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR
ENTITY IN A LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING;
THAT NO CLAIM EITHER SPRINT OR YOU HAS AGAINST THE
OTHER SHALL BE RESOLVED ON A CLASS-WIDE BASIS; AND
THAT NEITHER SPRINT NOR YOU WILL ASSERT A CLAIM IN A
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE. IF

52

FOR ANY REASON THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION DOES NOT
APPLY TO A CLAIM, WE AGREE TO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.

A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law will conduct
the arbitration. The arbitration will be led with and the
arbitrator will be selected according to the rules of either JAMS
or the National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”), or, alternatively, as we
may mutually agree. We agree to act in good faith in selecting an
arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by and under the
then-applicable rules of JAMS or NAF, wherever the arbitration
is led or, if the arbitrator is chosen by mutual agreement of the
parties, the then applicable rules of JAMS will apply unless the
parties agree otherwise. All expedited procedures prescribed by
the applicable rules will apply. We agree to pay our respective
arbitration costs, except as otherwise required by rules of JAMS
or NAF, as applicable, but the arbitrator can apportion these
costs as appropriate. The arbitrator’s decision and award is nal
and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any
court with jurisdiction.

If any party les a judicial or administrative action asserting a
claim that is subject to arbitration and another party successfully
stays such action or compels arbitration, the party ling that
action must pay the other party’s costs and expenses incurred in
seeking such stay or compelling arbitration, including attorneys’
fees.

If any portion of this Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes section is
determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the
Section remains in full force and effect.

Conditions

Terms and

Miscellaneous. You may notify us by calling us at 1-888-211-4 PCS,

or use that number to get our current address for written notice.
We may send you notice to your last known address in our
invoicing records, or by calling leaving you a voice message on
your wireless device or home phone. Properly addressed
written notice is effective three days after deposit in the U.S. mail,
postage prepaid. This Agreement is governed by and must be
construed under federal law and the laws of the State of Kansas,
without regard to choice of law principles. If either of us waives

53

or fails to enforce any requirement under this Agreement in any

55

one instance, that does not waive our right to later enforce that
requirement. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement remains in full force
and effect. Section headings are for descriptive, non-interpretive
purposes only. You may not assign this Agreement to any other
person or entity without our prior written approval. This
Agreement (including any referenced documents and
attachments) makes up the entire agreement between us and
replaces all prior written or spoken agreements.
