Customer Agreement
(Para una copia de este documento en español, visite nuestro
website: verizonwireless.com/espanol)
Thanks for choosing Verizon. In this Customer Agreement
(“Agreement”), you’ll find important information about your
wireless Service, including:
• our ability to make changes to your Service or this
Agreement’s terms,
• our liability if things don’t work as planned and how any
disputes between us must be resolved in arbitration or
small claims court.
My Service
Your Service terms and conditions are part of this Agreement.
Your Plan includes your monthly allowances and features,
where you can use them (your “Coverage Area”), and their
monthly and pay-per-use charges. You can also subscribe to
several Optional Services, like international service plans or
equipment protection services. Together, your Plan, features
you use, and any Optional Services you select are your Service.
Your billing and shipping addresses, and your primary place of
use, must be within the areas served by the network Verizon
owns and operates. The current version of this Agreement and
the terms and conditions for your Service are available online
at verizonwireless.com.
By using the Service you are agreeing to every provision
of this Agreement whether or not you have read it. This
agreement also applies to all lines on your account and
anyone who uses your Service.
Cancellation
You can cancel a line of Service within 14 days of accepting
this Agreement without having to pay an early termination fee
as long as you return, within the applicable return period, any
equipment you purchased from us or one of our authorized
agents at a discount in connection with your acceptance of
this Agreement, but you’ll still have to pay for your Service
through that date. If you signed up for Prepaid Service, no
refunds will be granted after 14 days or if your account has
been activated. See vzw.com/returnpolicy for complete
details and information on returning your equipment.
My privacy
We collect personal information about you. By entering into
this Agreement, you consent to our data collection, use and
sharing practices described in our Privacy Policy. It is your
responsibility to notify people who connect devices through
your mobile hotspot, Jetpack or wireless router that we will
collect, use and share information about their device and use
of the Service in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We
provide you with choices to limit, in certain circumstances,
our use of the data we have about you. You can review these
choices at verizon.com/privacy#limits. If there are additional
specific advertising and marketing practices for which your
consent is necessary, we will seek your consent (such as
through the privacy-related notices you receive when you
purchase or use our products and services) before engaging
in those practices. You can find out how we use, share and
protect the information we collect about you in the Verizon
Privacy Policy, available at verizon.com/privacy.
If you subscribe to Service for which usage charges are billed
at the end of the billing period (“Postpay Service”), we may
investigate your credit history at any time. If you’d like the
name and address of any credit agency that gives us a credit
report about you, just ask.
Many services and applications offered through your device
may be provided by third parties. Before you use, link to or
download a service or application provided by a third party,
you should review the terms of such service or application
and applicable privacy policy. Personal information you submit
may be read, collected or used by the service or application
provider and/or other users of those forums.
You consent to allow Verizon and anyone who collects on our
behalf to contact you about your account status, including
past due or current charges, using prerecorded calls, email
and calls or messages delivered by an automatic telephone
dialing system to any wireless phone number, other contact
number or email address you provide. Verizon will treat any
email address you provide as your private email that is not
accessible by unauthorized third parties. Unless you notify
us that your wireless service is based in a different time zone,
calls will be made to your cellular device during permitted
calling hours based upon the time zone affiliated with the
mobile telephone number you provide.
1.800.256.4646verizonwireless.com
Page 9
What happens if my Postpay Service is canceled
before the end of my contract term?
If you’re signing up for Postpay Service, you’re agreeing to
subscribe to a line of Service either on a month-to-month
basis or for a minimum contract term, as shown on your
receipt or order confirmation. (If your Service is suspended
without billing or at a reduced billing rate, that time doesn’t
count toward completing your contract term.) Once you’ve
completed your contract term, you’ll automatically become a
customer on a month-to-month basis for that line of Service.
If you purchased a device on a monthly installment
agreement and cancel service, you should check that
agreement to determine if you have to immediately pay off
the balance. If your line of service has a contract term and
you cancel that line, or if we cancel it for good cause, during
that contract term, you’ll have to pay an early termination
fee. If your contract term results from your purchase of an
advanced device, your early termination fee will be $350,
which will decline by $10 per month upon completion of
months 7 – 17, $20 per month upon completion of months
18 – 22, $60 upon completion of month 23 and will be $0
upon completion of the contract term. For other contract
terms, your early termination fee will be $175, which will
decline by $5 per month upon completion of months 7 – 17,
$10 per month upon completion of months 18 – 22, $30 upon
completion of month 23 and will be $0 upon completion
of your contract term. Cancellations will become effective
on the last day of that month’s billing cycle, and you are
responsible for all charges incurred until then. Also, if you
bought your wireless device from an authorized agent or
third-party vendor, you should check whether it charges a
separate termination fee.
Can I take my wireless phone number to another
carrier?
You may be able to transfer, or “port,” your wireless phone
number to another carrier. If you port a number from us, we’ll
treat it as though you asked us to cancel your Service for that
number. After the porting is completed, you won’t be able to
use our service for that number, but you’ll remain responsible
for all fees and charges through the end of that billing cycle,
just like any other cancellation. If you’re a Prepaid customer,
you won’t be entitled to a refund of any balance on your
account. If you port a number to us, please be aware that we
may not be able to provide some services right away, such as
911 location services. You don’t have any rights to your wireless
phone number, except for any right you may have to port it.
Can I have someone else manage my Postpay
account?
No problem—just tell us by phone, in person, or in writing.
You can appoint someone to manage your Postpay account.
The person you appoint will be able to make changes to
your account, including adding new lines of Service, buying
new wireless devices, and extending your contract term.
Any changes that person makes will be treated as
modifications to this Agreement.
Can Verizon change this Agreement or my Service?
We may change prices or any other term of your Service or
this Agreement at any time, but we’ll provide notice first,
including written notice if you have Postpay Service. If you use
your Service after the change takes effect, that means you’re
accepting the change. If you’re a Postpay customer and a
change to your Plan or this Agreement has a material adverse
effect on you, you can cancel the line of Service that has been
affected within 60 days of receiving the notice with no early
termination fee if we fail to negate the change after you notify
us of your objection to it. Notwithstanding this provision, if we
make any changes to the dispute resolution provision of this
Agreement, such changes will not affect the resolution of any
disputes that arose before such change.
My wireless device
Your wireless device must comply with Federal Communications
Commission regulations, be certified for use on our network,
and be compatible with your Service. Please be aware that we
may change your wireless device’s software, applications or
programming remotely, without notice. This could affect your
stored data, or how you’ve programmed or use your wireless
device. By activating Service that uses a SIM (Subscriber
Identity Module) card, you agree we own the intellectual
property and software in the SIM card, that we may change the
software or other data in the SIM card remotely and without
notice, and we may utilize any capacity in the SIM card for
administrative, network, business and/or commercial purposes.
Internet access
If you download or use applications, services or software
provided by third parties (including voice applications), 911
or E911, or other calling functionality, may work differently
than services offered by us or may not work at all. Please
review all terms and conditions of such third-party products.
VerizonWireless is not responsible for any third-party
information, content, applications or services you access,
download or use on your device. You are responsible for
maintaining virus and other internet security protections
when accessing these third-party products or services.
For additional information, visit the Verizon Content Policy at

regarding content filters, visit verizonwireless.com/solutionsand-services/content-filters. For information about our network
management practices for our broadband internet access
services, visit verizon.com/about/our-company/open-internet.
Where and how does Verizon Service work?
Wireless devices use radio transmissions, so unfortunately
you can’t get Service if your device isn’t in range of a
transmission signal. And please be aware that even within
your Coverage Area, many things can affect the availability
and quality of your Service, including network capacity, your
device, terrain, buildings, foliage and weather.
How does Verizon calculate my charges?
You agree to pay all access, usage and other charges that
you or any other user of your wireless device incurred. If
multiple wireless devices are associated with your account,
you agree to pay all charges incurred by users of those
wireless devices. For charges based on the amount of time
used or data sent or received, we’ll round up any fraction to
the next full minute or, depending on how you’re billed for
data usage, the nex
calls, usage time starts when you first press Send or the call
connects to a network, and for incoming calls, it starts when
the call connects to a network (which may be before it rings).
Usage time may end several seconds after you press End or
after the call disconnects. For calls made on our network,
we charge only for calls that are answered, including by
machines. For Postpay Service, usage cannot always be
processed right away and may be included in a later bill, but
the usage will still count towards your allowance for the month
when the Service was used.

What charges are set by Verizon?
Our charges may also include Federal Universal Service,
Regulatory and Administrative Charges, and we may also
include other charges related to our governmental costs.
We set these charges; they aren’t taxes, they aren’t required
by law, they are not necessarily related to anything the
government does, they are kept by us in whole or in part,
and the amounts and what they pay for may change.
Government taxes, fees and surcharges
You must pay all taxes, fees and surcharges set by federal,
state and local governments. Please note that we may
not always be able to notify you in advance of changes to
these charges.
What is roaming?
You’re “roaming” whenever your wireless device connects to a
network outside your Coverage Area or connects to another
carrier’s network, which could happen even within your
Coverage Area. There may be higher rates or extra charges
(including charges for long distance, tolls or calls that don’t
connect) and your data service may be limited or slowed
when roaming.
How can I prevent unintended charges on my bill?
Many services and applications are accessible on or through
wireless devices, including purchases of games, movies, music
and other content. Some of these services are provided by
Verizon. Others are provided by third parties that may offer
the option to bill the charges to your Verizon bill or other
methods of payment. Charges may be one-time or recurring.
The amount and frequency of the charges will be disclosed
to you or the person using your device or a device associated
with your account at the time a purchase is made. If the
purchaser chooses to have the charges billed to your account,
such charges will become part of the amount due for that
billing cycle. Verizon offers tools to block or restrict these
services, and to block all billing for third-party services on
your Verizon Wireless bill, at verizonwireless.com/myverizon.
We do not support calls to 900, 976 and certain other
international premium rate numbers.
How and when can I dispute charges?
If you’re a Postpay customer, you can dispute your bill within
180 days of receiving it, but unless otherwise provided by law
or unless you’re disputing charges because your wireless
device was lost or stolen, you still have to pay all charges until
the dispute is resolved. If you’re a Prepaid customer, you can
dispute a charge within 180 days of the date the disputed
charge was incurred. YOU MAY CALL US TO DISPUTE
CHARGES ON YOUR BILL OR ANY SERVICE(S) FOR WHICH
YOU WERE BILLED, BUT IF YOU WISH TO PRESERVE YOUR
RIGHT TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS
CASE REGARDING SUCH DISPUTE, YOU MUST WRITE TO
US AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADDRESS ON YOUR
BILL, OR SEND US A COMPLETED NOTICE OF DISPUTE
FORM (AVAILABLE AT VERIZONWIRELESS.COM), WITHIN
THE 180-DAY PERIOD MENTIONED ABOVE. IF YOU DO
NOT NOTIFY US IN WRITING OF SUCH DISPUTE WITHIN
THE 180-DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL HAVE WAIVED YOUR
RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE BILL OR SUCH SERVICE(S) AND
TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE
REGARDING ANY SUCH DISPUTE.
What are my rights for dropped calls or interrupted
service?
If you drop a call in your Coverage Area, redial. If it’s answered
within 5 minutes, call us within 90 days if you’re a Postpay
customer, or within 45 days if you’re a Prepaid customer, and
we’ll give you a 1-minute airtime credit. If you’re a Postpay
customer and you lose Service in your Coverage Area for
more than 24 hours in a row and we’re at fault, call us within
180 days and we’ll give you a credit for the time lost. Please
be aware that these are your only rights for dropped calls or
interrupted Service.
Billing and payments
If you’re a Postpay customer and we don’t get your payment
on time, we will charge you a late fee of up to 1.5 percent per
month (18 percent per year) on the unpaid balance, or a flat
$5 per month, whichever is greater, if allowed by law in the
state of your billing address. (If you choose to have your
Service billed by another company (pursuant to a Verizonapproved program), late fees are set by that company and
may be higher than our late fees.) Late fees are part of the
rates and charges you agree to pay. If you fail to pay on time
and we refer your account(s) to a third party for collection, a
collection fee will be assessed and will be due at the time of
the referral to the third party. The fee will be calculated at the
maximum percentage permitted by applicable law, not to
exceed 18 percent. We may require a deposit at the time of
activation or afterward, or an increased deposit. We’ll pay
simple interest on any deposit at the rate the law requires. We
may apply deposits or payments in any order to any amounts
you owe us on any account. If your final credit balance is less
than $1, we will refund it only if you ask. If your service is
suspended or terminated, you may have to pay a fee to have
service reactivated.
If you’re a Prepaid customer, you may replenish your balance
at any time before the expiration date by providing us with
another payment. If you maintain a Prepaid account balance,
it may not exceed $1,000 and you may be prevented from
replenishing if your balance reaches $1,000. We may apply
your payments to any amounts you may owe us if your earlier
account replenishment payments had been reversed. We will
suspend service when your account reaches the expiration
date and any unused balance will be forfeited.
We may charge you up to $25 for any returned check. If you
make a payment, or make a payment arrangement, through a
call center representative, we may charge you an Agent
Assistance Fee of $7.
What if my wireless device gets lost or stolen?
We’re here to help. It’s important that you notify us right away,
so we can suspend your Service to keep someone else from
using it. If you’re a Postpay customer and your wireless device
is used after the loss or theft but before you report it, and you
want a credit for any charges for that usage, we’re happy to
review your account activity and any other information you’d
like us to consider. Keep in mind that you may be held
responsible for the charges if you delayed reporting the loss
or theft without good reason, but you don’t have to pay any
charges you dispute while they are being investigated. If you
are a California customer and we haven’t given you a courtesy
suspension of recurring monthly charges during the past year,
we’ll give you one for 30 days or until you replace or recover
your wireless device, whichever comes first.

What are Verizon’s rights to limit or end service or
end this Agreement?
We can, without notice, limit, suspend or end your Service or
any agreement with you for any good cause, including, but
not limited to: (1) if you: (a) breach this agreement; (b) resell
your Service; (c) use your Service for any illegal purpose,
including use that violates trade and economic sanctions and
prohibitions promulgated by any US governmental agency;
(d) install, deploy or use any regeneration equipment or similar
mechanism (for example, a repeater) to originate, amplify,
enhance, retransmit or regenerate an RF signal without our
permission; (e) steal from or lie to us; or, if you’re a Postpay
customer; (f) do not pay your bill on time; (g) incur charges
larger than a required deposit or billing limit, or materially in
excess of your monthly access charges (even if we haven’t
yet billed the charges); (h) provide credit information we can’t
verify; or (i) are unable to pay us or go bankrupt; or (2) if you,
any user of your device or any line of service on your account,
or any account manager on your account: (a) threaten, harass,
or use vulgar and/or inappropriate language toward our
representatives; (b) interfere with our operations; (c) “spam,”
or engage in other abusive messaging or calling; (d) modify
your device from its manufacturer’s specifications; or (e) use
your Service in a way that negatively affects our network or
other customers. We can also temporarily limit your Service
for any operational or governmental reason.
Am I eligible for special discounts?
If you’re a Postpay customer, you may be eligible for a
discount if you are and remain affiliated with an organization
that has an agreement with us. Unless your discount is
through a government employee discount program, we may
share certain information about your Service (including your
name, your wireless telephone number and your total monthly
charges) with your organization from time to time to make
sure you’re still eligible. We may adjust or remove your
discount according to your organization’s agreement with
us, and remove your discount if your eligibility ends or your
contract term expires. In any case, this won’t be considered
to have a material adverse effect on you.
Disclaimer of warranties
We make no representations or warranties, express or
implied, including, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for
a particular purpose, about your Service, your wireless
device, or any applications you access through your wireless
device. We do not warrant that your wireless device will
work perfectly or will not need occasional upgrades or
modifications, or that it will not be negatively affected by
network-related modifications, upgrades or similar activity.
Waivers and limitations of liability
You and Verizon both agree to limit claims against each other
solely to direct damages. That means neither of us will claim
any damages that are indirect, special, consequential,
incidental, treble or punitive. For example, disallowed
damages include those arising out of a Service or device
failure, unauthorized access or changes to your account or
device, or the use of your account or device to access or
make changes to an account with another entity, such as a
financial entity, without authorization. This limitation and
waiver will apply regardless of the theory of liability. It also
applies if you bring a claim against one of our suppliers, to the
extent we would be required to indemnify the supplier for the
claim. You agree we aren’t responsible for problems caused by
you or others, or by any act of God. You also agree we aren’t
liable for missed or deleted voice mails or other messages, or
for any information (like pictures) that gets lost or deleted if
we work on your device. If another wireless carrier is involved
in any problem (for example, while you’re roaming), you also
agree to any limitations of liability that it imposes.
How do I resolve disputes with Verizon?
WE HOPE TO MAKE YOU A HAPPY CUSTOMER, BUT IF
THERE’S AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, THIS
SECTION OUTLINES WHAT’S EXPECTED OF BOTH OF US.
YOU AND VERIZON BOTH AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES
ONLY BY ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS AGREEMENT YOU ARE
GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO BRING A CLAIM IN COURT OR
IN FRONT OF A JURY. WHILE THE PROCEDURES MAY BE
DIFFERENT, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD YOU THE
SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF, AND MUST HONOR THE
SAME TERMS IN THIS AGREEMENT, AS A COURT WOULD.
IF THE LAW ALLOWS FOR AN AWARD OF ATTORNEYS’
FEES, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THEM TOO. WE
ALSO BOTH AGREE THAT:
THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT APPLIES TO THIS
AGREEMENT. EXCEPT FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT
CASES, ANY DISPUTE THAT IN ANY WAY RELATES TO
OR ARISES OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR FROM ANY
EQUIPMENT, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES YOU RECEIVE
FROM US OR FROM ANY ADVERTISING FOR ANY SUCH
PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY DISPUTES
YOU HAVE WITH OUR EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, WILL BE
RESOLVED BY ONE OR MORE NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS
BEFORE THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION
“AAA” OR BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU “BBB”. YOU
CAN ALSO BRING ANY ISSUES YOU MAY HAVE TO
THE ATTENTION OF FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND IF THE LAW ALLOWS,
THEY CAN SEEK RELIEF AGAINST US FOR YOU. THIS
AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CONTINUES TO APPLY
EVEN AFTER YOU HAVE STOPPED RECEIVING SERVICE
FROM US.
UNLESS YOU AND VERIZON AGREE OTHERWISE,
THE ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE COUNTY
OF YOUR BILLING ADDRESS. FOR CLAIMS OVER ,,
THE AAA’S CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES WILL
APPLY. FOR CLAIMS OF , OR LESS, THE PARTY
BRINGING THE CLAIM CAN CHOOSE EITHER THE AAA’S
CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES OR THE BBB’S RULES
FOR BINDING ARBITRATION OR, ALTERNATIVELY,
CAN BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS
COURT. YOU CAN GET PROCEDURES, RULES AND FEE
INFORMATION FROM THE AAA WWW.ADR.ORG, THE
BBB WWW.BBB.ORG OR FROM US. FOR CLAIMS OF

PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD. NOTWITHSTANDING
UBMITTED TO THE ARBITRATOR,

ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE
ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD MONEY OR INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY

TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S
INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE OR
PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL THEORIES OF LIABILITY
OR PRAYERS FOR RELIEF MAY BE MAINTAINED IN ANY
ARBITRATION HELD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. ANY
QUESTION REGARDING THE ENFORCEABILITY OR
INTERPRETATION OF THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE
DECIDED BY A COURT AND NOT THE ARBITRATOR.
IF EITHER OF US INTENDS TO SEEK ARBITRATION
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTY SEEKING
ARBITRATION MUST FIRST NOTIFY THE OTHER PARTY
OF THE DISPUTE IN WRITING AT LEAST DAYS IN
ADVANCE OF INITIATING THE ARBITRATION. NOTICE TO
VERIZON SHOULD BE SENT TO VERIZON WIRELESS
DISPUTE RESOLUTION MANAGER, ONE VERIZON WAY,
BASKING RIDGE, NJ . THE NOTICE MUST DESCRIBE
THE NATURE OF THE CLAIM AND THE RELIEF BEING
SOUGHT. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE OUR DISPUTE
WITHIN DAYS, EITHER PARTY MAY THEN PROCEED TO
FILE A CLAIM FOR ARBITRATION. WE’LL REIMBURSE ANY
FILING FEE THAT THE AAA OR BBB CHARGES YOU FOR
ARBITRATION OF THE DISPUTE. IF YOU PROVIDE US
WITH SIGNED WRITTEN NOTICE THAT YOU CANNOT PAY
THE FILING FEE, VERIZON WILL PAY THE FEE DIRECTLY
TO THE AAA OR BBB. IF THAT ARBITRATION PROCEEDS,
WE’LL ALSO PAY ANY ADMINISTRATIVE AND
ARBITRATOR FEES CHARGED LATER.
WE ALSO OFFER CUSTOMERS THE OPTION OF

WE MAY, BUT ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO, MAKE A
WRITTEN SETTLEMENT OFFER ANYTIME BEFORE THE
ARBITRATION HEARING. THE AMOUNT OR TERMS OF
ANY SETTLEMENT OFFER MAY NOT BE DISCLOSED
TO THE ARBITRATOR UNTIL AFTER THE ARBITRATOR
ISSUES AN AWARD ON THE CLAIM. IF YOU DON’T
ACCEPT THE OFFER AND THE ARBITRATOR AWARDS
YOU AN AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT’S MORE THAN OUR
OFFER BUT LESS THAN ,, OR IF WE DON’T MAKE
YOU AN OFFER, AND THE ARBITRATOR AWARDS YOU

AWARDS YOU MORE THAN ,, THEN WE WILL PAY
YOU ONLY THAT AMOUNT.
AN ARBITRATION AWARD AND ANY JUDGMENT
CONFIRMING IT APPLY ONLY TO THAT SPECIFIC CASE; IT

ENFORCE THE AWARD ITSELF.
IF, FOR SOME REASON, THE PROHIBITION ON CLASS
ARBITRATIONS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION CANNOT
BE ENFORCED AS TO ALL OR PART OF A DISPUTE, THEN
THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WILL NOT APPLY TO
THAT DISPUTE OR PART OF THE DISPUTE.
IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT
RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND
VERIZON AGREE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY
TRIAL. YOU AND VERIZON UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE
ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF

About this Agreement
If we don’t enforce our rights under this agreement in one
instance, that doesn’t mean we won’t or can’t enforce those
rights in any other instance. You cannot assign this Agreement
or any of your rights or duties under it without our permission.
However, we may assign this Agreement or any debt you owe
us without notifying you. If you’re a Postpay customer, please
note that many notices we send to you will show up as
messages on your monthly bill. If you have online billing,
those notices will be deemed received by you when your
online bill is available for viewing. If you get a paper bill, those
notices will be deemed received by you three days after we
mail the bill to you. If we send other notices to you, they will
be considered received immediately if we send them to your
wireless device, or to any email or fax number you’ve given
us, or after three days if we mail them to your billing address.
If you need to send notices to us, please send them to the
customer service address on your latest bill.
If you’re a Prepaid customer and we send notices to you,
they will be considered received immediately if we send
them to your wireless device or to any email or fax number
you’ve given us, or if we post them as a precall notification
on your Service, or after three days if we mail them to the
most current address we have for you. If you need to send
notices to us, please send them to the Customer Service
Prepaid address at verizonwireless.com/contactus.
If any part of this agreement, including anything regarding
the arbitration process (except for the prohibition on class
arbitrations as explained in part 8 of the dispute resolution
section above), is ruled invalid, that part may be removed
from this agreement.

Data Services
VerizonWireless charges you for all data and content sent or
received using our network (including any network overhead
and/or Internet Protocol overhead associated with content
sent or received), as well as resolution of Internet Protocol
addresses from domain names. Sending or receiving data
using a virtual private network (VPN) involves additional
VPN overhead for which you will be charged. Please note
that certain applications or widgets periodically send and
receive data in the background, without any action by the
user, and you will be billed for such data use. Applications may
automatically re-initiate data sessions without your pressing
or clicking the Send or connect button. Data sessions
automatically terminate after 24 hours. A data session is
inactive when no data is being transferred. Data sessions may
seem inactive while data is actively being transferred, or may
seem active when the data is actually cached and data is not
being transferred. If you have a data-only plan and use voice
service, domestic voice calls will be billed at 25¢/minute.
We are implementing optimization and transcoding
technologies in our network to transmit data files in a more
ter, Mobile Web and
all.
efficient manner to allow available network capacity to benefit
the greatest number of users. These techniques include
caching less data, using less capacity, and sizing the video
more appropriately for the device. The optimization process
is agnostic to the content itself and to the website that
provides it. While we invest much effort to avoid changing
text, image and video files in the compression process, and
while any change to the file is likely to be indiscernible, the
optimization process may minimally impact the appearance
of the file as displayed on your device. For a further, more
detailed explanation of these techniques, please visit
verizon.com/about/our-company/open-internet.
If you subscribe to a plan other than The Verizon Plan, there
may be an additional monthly fee to use Mobile Hotspot or
any other Wi-Fi hotspot or tethering service to use your
device as a Wi-Fi hotspot or to tether it to your computer.
Data transfer amounts will vary based on application. If you
download an audio or video file, the file may be downloaded
in sections or in its entirety; data charges will apply to the
portion downloaded, regardless of whether you listen to or
watch all of it. You may access and monitor your own data
usage during a particular billing period, including during the
return period, by accessing MyVerizon online or by contacting
Customer Service.
Data Services: permitted uses
You can use our Data Services for accessing the Internet and
for such things as: (i) Internet browsing; (ii) email; (iii) intranet
access (including accessing corporate intranets, email and
individual productivity applications made available by your
company); (iv) uploading, downloading and streaming of audio,
video and games; and (v) Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
Data Services: prohibited uses
You may not use our Data Services for illegal purposes or
purposes that infringe upon others’ intellectual property
rights, or in a manner that interferes with other users’
service; that violates trade and economic sanctions and
prohibitions as promulgated by the departments of
Commerce, Treasury or any other US government agency;
that interferes with the network’s ability to fairly allocate
capacity among users or that otherwise degrades service
quality for other users. Examples of prohibited usage
include: (i) server devices or host computer applications that
are broadcast to multiple servers or recipients such that
they could enable “bots” or similar routines (as set forth in
more detail in (ii) below) or otherwise degrade network
capacity or functionality; (ii) “auto-responders,” “cancel-bots,”
or similar automated or manual routines that generate
amounts of net traffic that could disrupt net user groups or
email use by others; (iii) generating “spam” or unsolicited
commercial or bulk email (or activities that facilitate the
dissemination of such email); (iv) any activity that adversely
affects the ability of other users or systems to use either
VerizonWireless’ services or the Internet-based resources
of others, including the generation or dissemination of
viruses, malware or “denial of service” attacks; (v) accessing,
or attempting to access without authority, the information,
accounts or devices of others, or to penetrate, or attempt to
penetrate, VerizonWireless’ or another entity’s network or
systems; or (vi) running software or other devices that
maintain continuous active Internet connections when a
computer’s connection would otherwise be idle, or “keep
alive” functions, unless they adhere to VerizonWireless’
requirements for such usage, which may be changed from
time to time.

We further reserve the right to take measures to protect our
network and other users from harm, compromised c
or degradation in performance. These measures may impact
your service, and we reserve the right to deny, modify or
terminate service, with or without notice, to anyone we believe
is using data plans or add-ons in a manner that adversely
impacts our network.
We may monitor your compliance, or other subscribers’
compliance, with these terms and conditions, but we will
not monitor the content of your communications except
as otherwise expressly permitted or required by law.

Optional services terms and conditions
Messaging programs
Messaging programs use unique five- or six-digit numbers,
called “short codes.” They are provided by third parties,
and we are not responsible for any content, information or
services provided by third-party services through these
programs. The programs and opt-in requirements vary. Short
codes, whether sent or received, may be subject to standard
messaging charges.

STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE to the applicable short code. To get
more information, including contact details for the third-party
sponsor, send the word HELP to the short code. Some
programs may be subject to additional terms and conditions.
No credits or pro-rating will be applied.
Name ID
Some VerizonWireless services allow customers to determine
how their names, mobile phone numbers and other personal
information (“Name ID”) appears to the person receiving the
call. VerizonWireless does not prescreen Name ID information
that you submit when using these services. To use these
services, you must represent and warrant to VerizonWireless
that the information you provide is accurate; not intended to
offend, impersonate, misinform or mislead others; and does
not infringe or violate someone else’s rights or violate the law,
rules or regulations with regard to privacy, intellectual
property or otherwise.
Customers may also be able to download software applications
offered by unaffiliated third-party providers that manipulate or
“spoof” the Name ID that appears to the person receiving the
call. VerizonWireless does not prescreen the third-party
applications that you may download. However, you should
review any applicable third-party terms and conditions before
subscribing to or using such services.
VerizonWireless has the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse
to pass or to remove any Name ID information and to
investigate reports of misuse, abuse or other violations. Such
violations may result in your service being limited, suspended
or terminated for cause. Submitting misleading or inaccurate
information to VerizonWireless or a third-party provider, or
misuse of your wireless device, with the intent to defraud,
cause harm or wrongfully obtain anything of value may also
subject you to civil and criminal penalties.
Push to Talk Plus
Push to Talk calls take place only between VerizonWireless
subscribers with this add-on.
Best performance: For the best Push to Talk performance,
all callers on a Push to Talk session must have a device
that supports EV-DO Rev. A and receive EV-DO service.
Smartphones should be connected to LTE network for best
performance. A Push to Talk call is terminated by pressing
End or after 15 seconds of inactivity.
General use: While you are on a Push to Talk call, voice calls
will go directly to Voice Mail for 3G basic devices. When you
are on a voice call, you can’t receive a Push to Talk call. You
can’t prevent others from adding your number to their Push
to Talk contact list.
Only one person at a time can speak during Push to Talk calls.
When you use your phone keypad to make a Push to Talk call,
you must enter the 10-digit phone number of the called party.
Presence information may not be available for all Push to
Talk contacts. The accuracy of presence information may
be affected by the network registration status of a Push to
Talk contact.

registered light passenger vehicles (e.g., sedans, coupes,
motorcycles, convertibles, SUVs, light-duty pickups, etc.).
Coverage does not include service of any kind on vehicles

Important information on radio frequency emissions
and responsible driving
You can find important and useful information on radio
frequency emissions and responsible driving in our stores, in
the Important Consumer Information brochure included in your
equipment box and on our website. Visit verizonwireless.com
and click on the links at the bottom of the home page.
Location Information
Your wireless device can determine its (and your) physical,
geographical location (“Location Based Services” or LBS)
and can associate your device’s physical location with other
data. You have the ability to enable or disable access to such
services. By enabling location settings on your device, you
are permitting applications on your device to use LBS
through software, widgets or peripheral components you
choose to download, add or attach to your wireless device or
through web access, messaging capabilities or other means,
and you are authorizing Verizon Wireless to collect, use and
disclose your Location Information as appropriate to provide
you with any location services that you enabled. To limit
potential unauthorized access to your Location Information,
Verizon Wireless offers various mechanisms and settings to
manage access to location data. You should review each
application’s settings to determine whether you want to
enable LBS for that application.
FCC rules and regulations
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that
wireless phones be operated in accordance with FCC rules
and regulations and under supervision of the licensee.
FCC notice regarding transmission of Wireless
Emergency Alerts (Commercial Mobile Alert Service)
VerizonWireless has chosen to offer Wireless Emergency
Alerts within portions of its service area, as defined by the
terms and conditions of its service agreement, on Wireless
Emergency Alert-capable devices. There is no additional
charge for these Wireless Emergency Alerts. Wireless
Emergency Alerts may not be available on all devices or in
the entire service area or if a subscriber is outside of the
VerizonWireless service area. For details on the availability of
this service and Wireless Emergency Alert-capable devices,
please ask a Sales Representative or visit verizonwireless.com/
govalerts.
Security deposit
You may have been asked to leave a security deposit at the
time you activated your wireless service. You are eligible to
receive your security deposit back at the end of one year of
uninterrupted service, or upon termination of your service.
Your deposit will automatically be refunded after one year,
including interest, provided that you have kept your account
in “good standing” (this means that you paid your bill
continuously for one year in a timely manner). This refund
may take up to three billing cycles to be processed. Should
you be disconnected at any time during the first year for lack
of payment, you forfeit any interest accrued during that time
frame. If you terminate your service, but have not paid your
final bill, the deposit will be applied to your account, and you
will receive any remaining funds. If your service is terminated
after the initial 14-day return and exchange period but before
the end of your minimum term, your deposit will be applied
against the early termination fee in addition to any outstanding
balance before a check is processed.
4G LTE device not purchased from VerizonWireless
You may activate any 4G LTE device that has been certified by
VerizonWireless to be compatible with our 4G LTE network,
including devices not purchased directly from VerizonWireless.
If you did not purchase your device from VerizonWireless,
please be aware that certification of a device for use on the
VerizonWireless network does not mean that VerizonWireless
has made any determination as to the function, call quality or
other functionality provided by the device. The device provider
is solely responsible for the representations of its product
function, functionality, pricing and service agreements.
VerizonWireless does not in any way warrant that the certified
device (a) will operate or operate without error on the network
(including the network of any other carrier accessed while
roaming or otherwise) or with available VerizonWireless
branded products and services; (b) will operate without the
need for periodic upgrades or modifications to the certified
device; (c) will operate indefinitely on the network; (d) will not
be subject to service disruptions or interruptions due to
government regulation, system capacity, coverage limitations,
radio signal interference or other anomalies; or (e) will not be
adversely affected by network-related modifications, upgrades
or similar activity. Also, you should contact the device provider
from whom you purchased the device for questions about its
operations and capabilities. VerizonWireless representatives
may not be able to troubleshoot operational difficulties
encountered with devices not purchased from VerizonWireless.
You can try out our service for 14 days.
You may terminate service for any reason within 14 days of
activation. If you purchased a wireless device at a promotional
price at the time of activation, you must return that wireless
device to avoid being assessed an early termination fee of
$175, or $350 if you purchase an advanced device. You will
be responsible for all applicable usage fees, prorated access
charges, taxes, surcharges or other charges that accrued
to your account through the termination date. If you paid
a security deposit, it may take between 30 and 60 days to
process the return of your security deposit. The charges
for any service used on the account before the service
termination date may be applied against your security deposit.

about your service, please call Customer Service at
1.800.922.0204 or dial *611 from your wireless phone.
If we cannot resolve your issue, you have the option of
contacting the Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC):
If you’re having a problem with your wireless device, just
contact VerizonWireless toll-free at 1.866.406.5154 from a
landline phone. We’ll diagnose the issue with you right over
the phone. If we can’t resolve the problem and it is caused by
a manufacturing defect within the first 12 months since
original purchase from VerizonWireless or an authorized
retailer, we’ll send you a Certified Like-New Replacement
(either a like unit or one of comparable quality) right to your
door. For tablets, we will send your replacement after you
return your tablet in the shipping box we send you. Certified
Like-New Replacements will carry the remaining warranty
period from the original wireless device, or 90 days, whichever
is greater. Once you receive your replacement device, you
must return your defective device within 5 days. If you do not
return your defective device or if you return a device that has
been subjected to neglect, misuse, liquid damage, software
alterations or unreasonable wear and tear, you will be charged
up to the full retail price of your replacement device, which
may be in excess of $500. If your device has incurred damage
not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, return your
replacement device in the box it came in to avoid being
charged the value of your replacement device. If you have
equipment protection, contact your provider to discuss
replacement options for damaged devices.
These policies do not limit or supersede any existing
manufacturer’s warranties. This program may be considered
to be a “warranty” or “service contract” in certain states. In
