Last Updated: October 10, 2024

This Agreement governs the provision of the Services by Telrite Corporation d/b/a Life Wireless (“Life Wireless” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) to you (“your,” “applicant,” “customer,” “subscriber,” “participant,” or “user”) and your use of the Services and Devices. As used in this Agreement, the term: (A) “Services” means voice telephony (“talk”), text messaging (“text”), broadband Internet access services (“data”), and any other services provided to you by Life Wireless, services and devices subject to federal and state Lifeline discounts and Affordable Connectivity Program discounts, and prepaid wireless service; (B) “Device” means any phone, smartphone, accessory, or other device provided or sold to you by Life Wireless or that you activate or use with our Services (note that certain functions are only available when using a voice enabled Device; tablets provided or sold to you by Life Wireless are not voice enabled); and (C) “Underlying Carrier” means the wireless provider whose facilities we use to provide you wireless Services.

To the extent that any provision of a tariff is inconsistent with the terms of the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement shall apply and the terms of the tariff shall not apply.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY as they contain important information about your rights and obligations related to the Services and Devices we provide to you.

We may deny requests to subscribe to our Services for any lawful reason.

1. FEDERAL LIFELINE PROGRAM

1.1. Program Description

Lifeline is a government assistance program that is supported by the federal Universal Service Fund and is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”). The federal Lifeline program provides discounts on monthly communications services for eligible consumers, including voice calls, text messages, and broadband Internet access services. Discounts are applied to the retail rates of our Lifeline Service Plans (discussed in Section 3) for our eligible] subscribers. In some states, Lifeline service is also supported by discounts available from state universal service funds and may be administered by state administrators.

1.2. Application Process

To request enrollment in our Lifeline-supported services, you must complete a Lifeline service application. The application requires that you certify, under penalty of perjury, that you understand and agree to the laws, regulations, and other requirements for receiving Lifeline services. By completing an application, you consent to us or our representatives assisting you with applying for Lifeline services or doing so on your behalf and to the release of any information (e.g., name, telephone number, address, and eligibility information) necessary to process your application or for administration of Lifeline services to federal and state government entities, USAC, or other administrators of the Lifeline program. Failure to consent will result in denial of Lifeline services. This consent is ongoing while you are our Lifeline subscriber and survives any termination of this Agreement.

1.3. Eligibility

To be eligible for our Lifeline Services, you must meet the applicable eligibility standards. For the federal Lifeline program, eligibility standards are determined by federal regulation. For state-specific Lifeline programs, eligibility standards are determined by the appropriate state body and vary by state. These state and federal eligibility requirements include program-based eligibility or income-based eligibility. You must also be at least 18 years old (unless you are an emancipated minor) and must not be listed as a dependent on another person’s tax return (unless over the age of 60). Eligibility is determined when applicants enroll in federal and state eligibility databases, which may request documentation as evidence of an applicant’s eligibility. Acceptable documentation is determined by USAC and state third-party administrators and will be explained to you when such documentation is requested.

Program-Based Eligibility – Our subscribers may qualify for program-based eligibility if they participate in one or more of the following programs:

a) Programs applicable to all subscribers:

  1. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
  2. Section 8 Federal Public Housing Assistance (FPHA)
  3. Medicaid (not Medicare)
  4. Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
  5. Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit

b) Additional programs applicable to subscribers residing on Tribal lands:

  1. Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR)
  2. Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance (BIA)
  3. Tribally Administered Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
  4. Tribal Head Start (meeting income qualifying standards)

Income-Based Eligibility – You may qualify for income-based eligibility if your total gross income is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Federal regulations define “gross income” as all income actually received by all members of the household from whatever source derived, unless specifically excluded by the Internal Revenue Code.

1.4. One Per Household Rule

Under federal law, only one Lifeline benefit is permitted per household, which may be applied to wireless or landline service. For purposes of the Lifeline program, a household is defined as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. Separate households that live at the same address are eligible, including, for example, residents of homeless shelters and nursing homes. A household is not permitted to receive Lifeline benefits from multiple providers, but the Lifeline benefit associated with your household may be transferred from another provider to us.

1.5. Availability

Our Lifeline service is only available to applicants who reside in the areas in which we have been designated as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier (“ETC”). To receive our Lifeline services, an applicant’s principal and permanent residential address must be within our ETC service area. Applicants cannot apply for Lifeline service using a second home or business address. If you move to a new address, you must provide us with that new address within 30 days of moving. Visit www.lifewireless.com to check whether you reside in our ETC service area

1.6. Annual Recertification

Lifeline subscribers are required to recertify, on an annual basis from the date of their service initiation, that they continue to meet eligibility requirements and other qualifications to receive Lifeline services. Recertification is conducted or facilitated by USAC or state third-party administrators, but we may send you text messages reminding you to complete your recertification. If a subscriber fails to complete the annual recertification by the deadline, we will notify the subscriber that the subscriber will be de-enrolled from the Lifeline program. If the subscriber fails to recertify by the deadline or no longer meets eligibility requirements or other qualifications, the subscriber will be de-enrolled from the Lifeline program and the phone number the subscriber was using may be assigned to another subscriber. To continue utilizing the Services, the subscriber may re-enroll in our Lifeline Program, if eligible, or choose from any of the then available prepaid plans under the applicable terms and conditions for that plan. Upon re-enrollment, the subscriber may be assigned a new phone number.

1.7. Ongoing Eligibility Verification

You must notify us within 30 days if for any reason you no longer satisfy the criteria for receiving Lifeline services, including if (1) you no longer meet the income-based or program- based eligibility criteria, or (2) you or a member of your household begins receiving another Lifeline benefit. We may conduct checks to verify your continued eligibility for receiving Lifeline service at any time. If we determine that you no longer satisfy the criteria, we will de-enroll you from our Lifeline service and deactivate your Services.

1.8. Non-Transferable and Non-Assignable

Eligibility for Life Wireless is personal to you. Under federal law, you may not transfer to any third party any of your rights or benefits received under our Service, including, but not limited to, any voice, text, or data allotments you receive to use our Services. Similarly, you may not assign your rights or delegate any of your duties to any third party, including any individual that may be eligible to receive Lifeline service, without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment or delegation without such consent shall be void. We may assign all or part of these terms or your debts to us without notice.

1.9. Usage Requirement

To maintain our Lifeline service, FCC regulations require that, unless a subscriber has a regular billing and payment relationship with us, the subscriber must use the service every 30 days. Subscribers can “use” the Services by: (1) completing an outbound call, sending a text message, or using data; (2) purchasing minutes or data from us to add to the subscriber’s service plan; (3) answering an incoming call from a party other than us; or (4) responding to direct contact from us and confirming that the subscriber wants to continue receiving the Lifeline service. At or before 30 days of non-use, we will provide subscribers with notice that failure to use the Lifeline services within a 15-day notice period will result in de-enrollment. We may also send text messages reminding a subscriber to use the service. If a subscriber does not respond to the notice or use the service before the end of the 15-day notice period, we are required to and will de-enroll the subscriber from Lifeline service. At that time, the subscriber’s Services will be deactivated, except that the subscriber still will be able to use a voice enabled Device associated with the Services to contact 911 emergency services, provided it is charged and able to connect to a wireless network.

1.10. Fraud and Violation of Lifeline Rules

Lifeline is a federal benefit and any violation of federal or state Lifeline laws and regulations can result in fines, imprisonment, de-enrollment, or permanently being barred from the program. Willfully providing false or fraudulent information to obtain or continue to receive Lifeline benefits, violating the one-per-household limitation, or otherwise violating or failing to follow the Lifeline requirements or limitations all constitute violations of federal or state Lifeline laws or regulations. We may suspend or de-enroll you from receiving Lifeline-supported service, without notice, if we suspect or determine that you have engaged in fraud or violated any Lifeline laws or regulations.

1.11. De-enrollment

In addition to de-enrollment for any of the reasons described above, you may request to be de- enrolled from Lifeline service for any reason and at any time by contacting our Customer Service. De-enrollment requests (including name, wireless number, and identity related information) can be made by phone (dialing 611 from your Device or calling toll-free at 1-888-543-3620), physical mail (Life Wireless, P.O. Box 2840, Covington, GA 30015), or electronically (via our website at www.lifewireless.com). Upon receiving a request, you will be de-enrolled within five (5) business days. Upon de-enrollment from the Lifeline program, you will no longer receive free minutes, text messages, or data each month and will be required to re-qualify for Lifeline service if you choose to enroll in another Life Wireless Lifeline service plan. Additionally, a subscriber may be de-enrolled at the request of a federal or state government authority.

1.12. Lifeline Benefit Transfer

You may transfer your Lifeline benefit from another Lifeline provider to us or from us to another Lifeline provider. We comply with the FCC’s rules regarding transferring Lifeline benefits.

2. SERVICE PLANS AND “TOP UP” PLANS

2.1. Service Plans

Except as otherwise described in this Agreement, you must be enrolled in a Service Plan to utilize our Services. Wireless Service Plan descriptions, including rates and associated talk, text, and data allotments (collectively, “Allotments”), are available on our website at www.lifewireless.com Service Plan availability, rates, and Allotments may vary by state and are subject to change at any time. You may not be eligible for certain Service Plans or rates. Service Plans that include allocations of voice minutes include caller ID, voicemail, call waiting, and 3-way calling. Lifeline discounts are automatically applied to the retail rate of the Service Plan you select, and you must pay any additional co-pay. Service Plans are non-refundable, cannot be transferred to any third party (including another Life Wireless account or customer), and may not be exchanged or resold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, from time to time, provide refunds in its sole discretion. New subscribers select a Service Plan upon enrollment and existing subscribers can contact Customer Service to change their Service Plan by dialing 611 from their Device or calling toll-free at 1-888-543-3620. Service Plan changes are usually effective at the start of the next monthly service renewal date.

2.2. “Top up” Plans

Our wireless subscribers can purchase “Top up” Plans to receive allotments of talk, text, and data by calling our Customer Services by dialing 1-888-543-3620 or 611 from your Device. “Top up” Plans, including rates and associated talk, text, and data allotments, are available on our website at www.lifewireless.com. “Top up” Plan availability, rates, and Allotments may vary by state and are subject to change at any time. “Top up” Plans are non-refundable, cannot be transferred to any third party (including another Life Wireless account or customer), and may not be exchanged or resold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, from time to time, provide refunds in its sole discretion.

2.3. Talk, Text, and Data Allotments

Talk, text, and data allotments have no cash value, are non-refundable, cannot be transferred to any third party (including another Life Wireless account or customer), and may not be exchanged, resold, redeemed, or substituted for cash, merchandise, or services. If you terminate your service, you will forfeit and are not entitled to a full or partial refund for any unused Allotments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, from time to time, provide refunds in its sole discretion. If you use your full talk, text, or data allotment before the start of a new monthly cycle, the Service associated that allotment with be suspended for the remainder of the monthly cycle, except that you will be able to continue contacting emergency services by dialing 911 and our Customer Services by dialing 1-888-543-3620 or 611. Suspensions may occur while you are engaged in calls, text communications, or data usage, in which case, we are not responsible for any costs, losses, or damages caused by such interruptions, including to reestablish communications. You may check your Allotment balances at any time free of charge by dialing 611 from your Device or calling 1-888-543-3620. You are responsible for all usage of Allotments regardless of who uses or possesses your Device and regardless of whether the Device is used with your consent or knowledge. Unused Service Plan Allotments, including Top Up Allotments, expire on the last day of your monthly cycle and will not carry over to the next monthly cycle unless specifically provided for by the Service Plan.

2.4. Throttling

We may offer plans with data at throttled speeds. After any high-speed data allotment is used, speeds will be reduced to 256 kbps-equivalent until the end of your billing cycle. Subscribers that consume an additional 20GB of data at 256kbps speed will be further throttled down to 125kbps until the end of the billing cycle. You can upgrade your plan at any time to a plan with a higher high-speed data allotment, or you can add a data top up to your account at any time. This included allotment will be available until used or for 30 days from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. You may notice changes in the performance of certain applications when you are on throttled usage. You are responsible for all data activity to and from your device, regardless of who initiates the activity. Some tips for conserving your data usage: (1) Use Wi-Fi whenever possible; (2) Download music to the device for offline use and avoid music streaming services like Pandora when not using Wi-Fi; (3) Only stream video like YouTube and Netflix when using Wi-Fi. Otherwise, you can download the video to your device while using Wi-Fi for later offline viewing.

2.5. Use of Voice Allotments

All incoming and outgoing voice calls on your Device, regardless of whether the call is on the network of our Underlying Carrier or roaming, use talk minute allotments, including calls to toll- free numbers but excluding 911 emergency calls, our Customer Service Calls to 611 and 1-888- 543-3620, and other calls specified herein. Call time is measured in one-minute increments, with a minimum time per call of one (1) minute. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to the next full minute at the end of each call. We do not allow free calls to our other subscribers. Outgoing calls begin the moment you initiate a call and incoming calls begin the moment the signal connection from the caller is established with our facilities. Calls end after you or the other party terminates the call, but not until we receive a signal that the call has disconnected. Call length information displayed on your Device may not be accurate for calculating use of voice allotments. For simultaneous calls (incoming call waiting calls and 3-ways calls), talk minutes may be deducted for each call. Call time may include ring time, incomplete calls, unanswered calls, busy signal calls, voicemail deposit and retrieval time, and time to process call transfers. Calls that begin during one monthly cycle and end in another monthly cycle are generally deducted from talk allotments from the starting monthly cycle. No credit or refund is given for dropped calls.

2.6. Use of Data Allotments

All data usage that occurs through your wireless Device (except for data usage that occurs when your Device is connected to Wi-Fi provided by a third party) will be deducted from your data allotment, including all active and passive usage, regardless of who initiates the usage, and whether or not the data transmissions are successful. All data usage is calculated in full- kilobyte increments and actual usage is rounded up to the next full-kilobyte increment at the end of each data session. Data usage may occur whenever your Device is connected to the network of our Underlying Carrier or roaming and transmitting data, including, but not limited to: (a) sending, receiving, or downloading any type of content, including emails, documents, files, pictures, MMS messages, and any other content, (b) accessing websites, (c) downloading and using applications, (d) streaming content, or (e) requesting software updates. Data usage may also occur from normal operation of software used by the network and/or your device, including (i) for access, transport, and routing of data on the network of our Underlying Carrier, (ii) from partial or interrupted downloads and resend requests caused by network errors or when you cancel or attempt to cancel a transmission, and (iii) from unsuccessful attempts to reach websites or use applications. Some applications, content, programs, and software that you download or that come pre-installed on your Device regularly send and receive data transmissions when your Device is powered on to function properly, without you affirmatively initiating transmissions. For example, applications that provide real-time information, location- based services, or synchronization with cloud services frequently or continually send and receive updated information so that it is available to you when you want to access it. In addition, any advertisements or advertiser-related messages or data delivered to your Device, even if delivered to an application, and any messages or content that are initiated in response to an advertisement, use data. Based on several factors (e.g., the specific application, network performance, etc.) data usage may vary widely, even for the same activity. Estimates of data usage (e.g., the size of downloadable files) will not necessarily be an accurate predictor of actual usage. To prevent unintended data usage, you should connect your device to third party-provided Wi-Fi when available and supported by your Device or power off your Device when it is not in use.

3. WIRELESS DEVICES

3.1. Device Options

We may provide you with a Device free of charge, offer you a Device to purchase, or allow you to use your own Device with our Services.

These changes may result in the following: data use; modification of your Device; alteration or erasure of data stored on your Device; how you have programmed your Device; or how you are able to use your Device. We are not responsible for lost data or functionality. While your Device is receiving a software update, whether by our action or yours, you may be unable to use your Device in any manner until the software update is complete, including to contact 911 or other emergency services.

4. CHARGES AND PAYMENTS

4.1. Charges, Fees, and Taxes

You are responsible for paying all one-time and recurring charges that result from your commercial relationship with us and from the use of our Services, whether accrued by you or by another person using your Device or Services, including, but not limited to: (i) one time or recurring Service Plan charges; (ii) Device purchase, upgrade, and replacement charges; (iii) activation, reconnection, prepayment, and other administrative or customer service charges or fees; (iv) returned and late payment charges or fees; (v) roaming, network, and other surcharges; (vi) optional feature charges, such as operator and directory assistance, toll and collect calls, voicemail, and call forwarding, if applicable; (vii) Top Up Plan charges; and (viii) all required or applicable federal, state, and local taxes, surcharges, fees, and any other regulatory or governmental assessments, whether assessed directly upon you or upon us and billed to you for cost recovery. We do not assess early termination fees. Taxes, fees, and surcharges may vary depending on the billing address associated with your account and may vary from month- to-month based on our or the government’s calculations. We may, but are not obligated to, provide notice of such variances. Advertised rates may not include federal, state, and local taxes, fees, surcharges, and other assessments. With the exception of taxes or other charges that are required by law, no additional surcharges are assessed on Lifeline supported services and charges and fees associated with Lifeline supported Services are all inclusive and fully disclosed to Lifeline applicants and subscribers. All charges, fees, and taxes, once paid, are non- refundable.

4.2. Billing and Payment

You may access your monthly invoice on our website. If your service plan is not fully covered by a Lifeline and/or ACP discount, you will receive your bill electronically on a monthly basis. You must prepay the balance due before receiving the allotment specified in your service plan. If you do not prepay, we may suspend your service.

You are responsible for reviewing your bills to ensure that all charges are accurate. Our bills will distinguish (a) charges collected and retained by the carrier, including charges for Service Plans, “Top up” Plans, and features, from (b) taxes, surcharges, fees, and any other regulatory or governmental assessments collected by us and remitted to federal, state, or local governments. Cost recovery fees and charges will not be labeled as taxes. You agree to pay for all prepaid charges immediately when billed and all postpaid charges on or before your payment due date or monthly expiration date using a credit or debit card or other valid payment method. You must promptly notify us of any change in your billing address or payment method.

By providing payment information and accepting this agreement, you authorize us or our payment service provider to charge your payment method in advance for prepaid payments to ensure that payments are received by any due date. You may cancel the automatic renewal of your Service Plan at any time. We will not, except in our sole discretion, refund, prorate, or credit any charges, fees, or taxes, including if you modify or terminate your service before or have remaining Allotments at the end of your monthly cycle. If you wish to dispute a charge, you must do so in accordance with the dispute resolution process described in Section 10.

4.3. Creditworthiness

We do not condition the provision of Services on a subscriber’s credit rating, credit history, or other method of determining creditworthiness. We do not provide subscriber payment history and other account billing and charge information to any credit reporting agency or industry clearinghouse. No deposits are held or required as a condition of receiving Services, nor do we have any preset account spending limits.

4.4. Promotions and Rewards

We may, from time to time, provide you with promotional credits, promotional offers, or loyalty rewards (collectively, “Promotions and Rewards”). Promotional credits are typically courtesy account credits due to service issues, device issues, or customer inconveniences. Promotional offers are typically plan, device, and pricing offers that are available for a limited time or when you meet certain conditions. Loyalty rewards are typically rewards for being our customer. Promotions and Rewards are offered at our sole discretion. Promotions and Rewards can only be claimed and redeemed by accountholders and only will be associated with the account of the customer who was offered the Promotions and Rewards. Promotions and Rewards may not be sold or transferred to another Life Wireless account or to any other person. Promotions and Rewards have no fixed or cash value or equivalent, and may not be exchanged, transferred, resold, redeemed, or substituted for cash, merchandise, or services. If your Services are terminated for any reason, any Promotions and Rewards offered to you or associated with your account are forfeited. If you fail to make payments on your account or otherwise violate this Agreement, you may lose the ability to claim or redeem Promotions and Rewards. Promotions and Rewards are not your property and we may, in our sole discretion, change, modify, discontinue, suspend, revoke, cancel, or terminate them at any time, with or without notice. Promotions and Rewards may not be available to all subscribers, in all locations, or combinable with other Promotions and Rewards. Promotions and Rewards may be subject to additional terms and conditions as described to you when offered to you.

4.5. Third-Party Purchases

Devices associated with your Services may be used to purchase content, information, applications, and other goods and services from third parties, including in-app purchases (collectively, “Third-Party Purchases”). You are responsible for all charges resulting from Third-Party Purchases and are presumed to have provided the consent and representations required for those purchases regardless of whether the purchases were made by you or someone using a Device associated with your account, including consent for the use and disclosure of your account information to provision and bill for the purchases, consent to use location information to deliver the purchases to the Device, and representations of age for the person using the Device when a purchase is made. If you cancel or attempt to cancel a download or purchase that is in progress, or if a download or purchase is otherwise interrupted through no action on your part, you may nevertheless be charged in accordance with the terms and conditions associated with the purchase. We will not be liable for any such charges. If you believe your Services were used fraudulently to make purchases, you must notify us immediately and provide us with such documentation and information as we may request (including affidavits and police reports) as evidence of the fraudulent use. After you notify us, we will attempt to help you prevent the fraud by terminating existing Services if possible and practicable, but you will remain responsible for all charges. You agree to cooperate with us in any fraud investigation and to use any fraud prevention measures we prescribe. Failure to provide reasonable cooperation may result in your liability for all fraudulent usage and charges. We make no representations or warranties (expressed or implied), to the fullest extent permitted by law, including for merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, of Third-Party Purchases nor are we responsible for proper download, installation, functionality, or security of Third-Party Purchases.

5. SERVICE FEATURES, LIMITATIONS, AND NOTICES

5.1. Account Access

You can access your subscriber account information by contacting our Customer Service and providing necessary authentication information. You will only be able to access Customer Proprietary Network Information (“CPNI”), as defined by the FCC, see 47 CFR § 64.2003, by providing a password associated with your account. If you are not able to provide a password, we can only disclose your CPNI by sending it to your address of record or by calling you at your telephone number of record. We may, but are not obligated to, allow you to authorize other individuals to access your account. If you authorize another person to access your account or provide such person with your authentication information, those individuals may be permitted to make changes to your account. You authorize us to provide information about and make changes to your account, including changes to your Service Plan and features, upon the direction of any person able to provide your authentication information. Those changes will be binding on you and we take no responsibility for those changes. To protect the security of your CPNI, your password should be unique and complex. You should not provide your account authentication information, including your password, to third parties, and such information should be stored safely to prevent third-party access. If you believe your account authentication information was disclosed or accessed by an unauthorized person, we advise you to change the information immediately.

5.1. Account Protection Measures

You should be aware of two fraudulent practices – Port-Out Fraud and SIM Swap Fraud– that could enable threat actors to take control of your account without gaining physical control of your device.

Port-Out Fraud. Port-Out Fraud involves the threat actor opening an account with a wireless provider on your behalf and arranging for your phone number to be ported out (transferred) to the new account.

SIM Swap Fraud. Your device has a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, including a chip that identifies your phone number with that phone. SIM Swap Fraud happens when a threat actor convinces us to transfer your service from your device to the threat actor’s device.

We have implemented a number of measures to help you protect your account against Port- Out Fraud and SIM Swap Fraud.

5.1.1. Customer Notification of Port-Out and SIM Change Requests

5.1.1.1. Port-Out Requests.

Upon receiving a port-out request, and before effectuating the request, we will provide you immediate notification that a port-out request associated with your account was made, except if the port-out request was made in connection with a legitimate line separation request pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 345 and 47 CFR Part 64, Subpart II, regardless of whether the line separation is technically or operationally feasible.

5.1.1.2. SIM Change Requests.

Upon receiving a SIM change request, and before effectuating the request, we will provide immediate notification you that a SIM change request associated with your account was made, except if the SIM change request was made in connection with a legitimate line separation request pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 345 and 47 CFR Part 64, Subpart II, regardless of whether the line separation is technically or operationally feasible.

5.1.3. Process for Reporting Fraudulent Number Ports and Fraudulent SIM Changes

If you believe that you have been the victim of actual or attempted Port-Out Fraud or SIM Swap Fraud, please contact us immediately at 888-543-3620.

We will promptly investigate and take reasonable steps within our control to remediate fraudulent number ports and fraudulent SIM changes.

Upon request, we will promptly provide you with documentation of fraudulent number ports or fraudulent SIM changes involving your account.

5.2. International Calling and Messaging

Our wireless talk and text allotments can only be used for domestic calls and text messages. At this time, international calls and text messages are not included with our Service Plans or “Top up” Plans.

5.3. Wireless Coverage

The availability of our wireless Services is subject to the geographic coverage area of our Underlying Carrier and its roaming partners. Only domestic U.S. coverage is available; we do not offer international coverage. Coverage is not available everywhere in the domestic U.S., and you will not have access to our Services outside the coverage area. A coverage map reflecting the approximate geographic coverage area of our Underlying Carrier and its roaming partners can be accessed from our website, at www.lifewireless.com. Areas without coverage are shown as gaps. Coverage maps are generated using generally accepted methodologies and standards but are only approximations of actual coverage. There may be locations within the estimated coverage area where actual coverage is limited and you may experience interruptions or reductions in Service quality, including due to interference from buildings and other structures, terrain, and foliage. Additionally, actual coverage at any given time may vary by Service and be affected by factors beyond our control, as described in Section 5.4. Coverage maps and any statements by us, our agents, or dealers about coverage are only intended to provide high-level estimates of our coverage area when you are using our Services outdoors under optimal conditions and do not mean that service will be available under all circumstances, at all times, or without interruption. We do not guarantee or warrant the coverage of the network of our Underlying Carrier or its roaming partners. Where there is no coverage, 911 calls may not reach public safety answering points. In such instances, subscribers should dial 911 from the nearest landline phone. Coverage maps may be updated periodically and without notice to reflect the current operations of our Underlying Carrier and its roaming partners.

5.4. Service Availability and Quality

In addition to factors that affect coverage, Service availability and quality may be subject to “Service Limitations,” which may depend on whether you are using wireless or landline Services. These include interruptions, delays, or reductions, due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: weather and atmospheric conditions; obstructions; electromagnetic interference; use of the Services inside a building or moving vehicle; your geographic location relative to our coverage area; your proximity to wireless cell sites; the capacity of a cell site; the number of other customers connected to the same cell site; other network capacity limitations and congestion; the capabilities and compatibility of your device; network outages or issues on the network of our Underlying Carrier or interconnecting carriers; and priority access by National Security and Emergency Preparedness personnel in the event of a disaster or emergency. Additional factors that may affect our Services are described in our Broadband Transparency Policy, available at www.lifewireless.com. Once identified, We take reasonable steps to attempt to remedy Service Limitations that are within its control. Service Limitations may also occur as a result of network maintenance, including equipment modifications, upgrades, relocations, repairs, or similar activities necessary or proper for network operation or improvement imposed by us, our Underlying Carrier, or interconnecting carriers. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you prior to the performance of such maintenance and will attempt to schedule its maintenance during non-peak hours. Service Limitations may result in dropped or blocked calls, inability to make or receive calls, inability to send or receive text messages, or inability to access the Internet and other data services. You acknowledge that the Services are provided through the nationwide wireless network of the underlying carrier of our choosing and may be subject to the service availability and quality of our Underlying Carrier. We do not guarantee or warrant the availability or quality of the Services at any given time or geographic location, we are not liable for Service Limitations, and you are not guaranteed compensation or reimbursement for Service Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your Services experiences Service Limitations for 24 or more continuous hours by a cause within our control, and you notify us at 1-800-643-4926 within seven (7) days of the Service Issue, we may, in our sole discretion and on a case-by-case basis, issue you a credit.

5.5. Service Security and Optimization

We or our Underlying Carrier may, but are not obligated to, take any action we deem necessary to: (1) address security threats and otherwise protect the networks, Services, systems, and equipment from harm or degradation; (2) optimize, improve, or manage the networks, Services, systems, and equipment; (3) preserve and protect their rights and interests and those of their subscribers and third parties; and (4) otherwise ensure the activities of some users do not impair the ability of us or our Underlying Carrier to provide their subscribers with access to reliable Services provided at reasonable costs. Such actions may include, but are not limited to:

a) discontinuing, blocking, or terminating certain categories of Services; b) restricting,reducing,orlimitingtheamountofusageoftheServices; c) limiting data throughput speeds or quantities; d) reducing the size of data transfers; e) limiting, disabling, or preventing access to particular features; f) blocking, limiting, or disconnecting access to individual phone numbers or certain categories of phone numbers (e.g., 976, 900), countries, destinations, or providers; g) limiting the provision of Services at certain times or in certain areas, including due to changes in coverage of our Underlying Carrier or changes in roaming agreements; h) filtering or blocking certain calls,texts,and data transmissions sent through the network, including spam, unlawful and unwanted telemarketing calls and messages, and malware (we do not guarantee that you will not receive and we are not liable for such calls, text, or transmissions; if you are receiving unwanted telemarketing messages, contact the source and unsubscribe or remove your mobile phone number from the service); i) blocking calls to you at your request or to other called parties at their request; j) blocking or otherwise preventing access to third party services or other premium services, features, or content that would generate additional fees or charges billed to us, either directly or through your account as a result of your use of or access to the service, feature, or content; k) blocking hacking and other attempts for unauthorized access; and l) blocking or terminating usage that is indicative of uses prohibited by the Acceptable Use Policy (Section 7), including uses that result in abnormally long calls, high costs, or high usage.

Some of these actions may interrupt or prevent legitimate communications and usage, including by resulting in dropped or blocked calls, inability to make or receive calls, inability to send or receive text messages, or inability to access the Internet and other data services. For additional information about our network security practices for our data Service, please review our Broadband Transparency Policy at www.lifewireless.com

5.6. Wireless Device Location Information

Your wireless Device may be location enabled, which means the location of your Device can be determined by using Global Positioning Satellite (“GPS”), wireless network location information, or other location technology when your device is turned on. Your location information may be used by us, our Underlying Carrier, or third-party services, as described in our Privacy Policy, available at www.lifewireless.com. Additionally, your location information may be used by 911 and other emergency services, as described in Section 5.7. Your location information may be unavailable if your Device is unable to acquire satellite signals and network coverage, which may prevent you, us, and other services from accessing your location. Satellite signals and network coverage may be unavailable due to a variety of factors beyond our control, as described in Sections 5.3 and 5.4. We do not warrant or guarantee that location-based services will be available at any specific time or geographic location. You may be able to configure the settings on your Device or in third-party services to restrict or disable the sharing of your location information. It is your responsibility to notify individuals who may use your Device that it may be location enabled.

5.7. 911 and Other Emergency Services

Your Device’s location information may be used to assist emergency services in finding you, but you should always be prepared to provide both your location information and phone number when contacting 911 or other emergency services. Wireless devices may not always be able to provide 911 dispatchers with your exact location or other information when you make an emergency call. Even when location information is transmitted from your wireless Device to a dispatcher, the information may not be accurate. If you attempt to make an emergency call from your wireless Device in an area where there is no wireless coverage, your call may not go through, in which case, you should try calling again from the nearest landline phone. We do not guarantee that your location information will be transmitted to emergency dispatchers or that any location information that is transmitted will be accurate. Nor do we guarantee that you will be able to contact emergency services in areas where there is limited or no wireless coverage.

For data-only device: Your data-only device does not allow you to contact 911 or other emergency services. Please use a voice-enabled or a landline phone to contact 911 or other emergency services. We do not guarantee that your location information will be transmitted to emergency dispatchers or that any location information that is transmitted will be accurate, nor do we guarantee that you will be able to contact emergency services in areas where there is limited or no wireless coverage.

5.8. Third-Party Content and Applications

Devices may be used to access and disseminate third-party content and applications through the Services. Some content and applications may: (i) harm your Device or its software; (ii) infringe on the rights of others; (iii) be unreliable, inaccurate, or incomplete; (iv) be offensive, indecent, or objectionable; or (v) be unsuitable for minors. When you access, download, install, or use third-party content and applications, you may voluntarily or involuntarily provide information to third-party content and applications providers. You are solely responsible for evaluating the third-party content and applications accessed while using the Device and Services. By allowing a minor to use the Device and Services, you are consenting to the minor being able to access any third-party content and applications available through the Services and provide information to the third-party content and application providers; we strongly recommend that you monitor the third-party content and applications accessed by minors using the Device and Services. We do not control and are not responsible for the third-party content and applications accessed or disseminated using the Device or Services. We may, but do not have the obligation to, monitor, review, and restrict or refuse to transmit certain third- party content and applications. We are not a publisher of third-party content and applications. When you access, download, install, or use third-party content and applications, you are subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of those third-party content and applications. You may review our Privacy Policy, at www.lifewireless.com, to learn how you may provide information to third-party content and applications. For assistance with third- party content and applications, contact the third-party developers or owners directly.

5.9. Phone Numbers and Porting

You must accept the phone number we assign to you at the time you subscribe to our Services. We reserve the right to change your mobile phone number at any time, but we will attempt to notify you prior to any such change. You can switch your number to another Device at no additional charge. Except for any legal right you may have to transfer (“port”) your phone number to or from another carrier, you have no and cannot gain any proprietary ownership or other rights to any phone number we assign to you, your Device, or your account. We do not guarantee that numbers ported to or from us will be successful. To request to port a phone number to or from us, please contact our Customer Service by dialing 611 from your Device or calling toll-free at 1-800-643-4926. Before you call to port a number to us, please have a bill from your existing wireless or wireline provider available. When you port a number to us from another carrier, you are solely responsible for all charges billed or incurred prior to deactivation of service with your prior carrier and for any applicable early termination fees assessed by your prior carrier; we will not reimburse you for these charges. Due to compatibility issues, you may be required to purchase or obtain a new device to use our Services after you port a number to us, and you may be without Services until the new device is configured. If you authorize another carrier to port a number from us, we will consider that a request by you to terminate all of your Services with us that are associated with that number and the termination will occur on the date the number is ported. Notwithstanding our honoring port requests, any balance due will still be owed by you to us. If your Services are terminated for any reason and you do not port your number to another provider, we may reassign the phone number you were using to another subscriber without notice. You will not be able to transfer any unused talk, text, or data allotments on your Life Wireless account to your new provider and after the porting is completed, you will no longer be able to use our Services with that number. Under no circumstance will we refund you for any Allotments or account payments if you port out your number. If you port your phone number to or from us, some Services, such as 911 location services, may not be immediately available through us or the other carrier while the port is being processed.

9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Most subscriber concerns can be resolved quickly and to the subscriber’s satisfaction by contacting our Customer Support by dialing 611 from your Device or calling toll-free at 1-888- 543-3620. In the unlikely event that the Customer Support is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction (or if we have not been able to resolve a Dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), those Disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration or small claims court as described in this section.

9.1. Disputes.

Within 60 days of the date of any event giving rise to a dispute, you must notify us of such dispute in writing at Life Wireless, P.O. Box 2840, Covington, Georgia 30015 (or one of the other means set forth in Section 9.2.2, titled “Dispute Notice”), including a dispute over any charges and any service we provided, or you will have waived your right to dispute the charge or such services and to bring, or participate in, any legal action raising any such dispute. The 60-day limitation shall not apply to the filing of a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) or your state’s Public Service Commission. You maintain your right to file a complaint with the FCC, your state’s Public Service Commission, or an appropriate federal or state governmental agency regarding the service provided and/or charges imposed by Life Wireless. Nothing in this paragraph or this agreement in any way eliminates or abridges that right.

9.2. Arbitration Agreement

WE (you and Life Wireless) EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR DISPUTES IN ANY WAY RELATED TO OR CONCERNING THE AGREEMENT, OUR SERVICES, DEVICES OR PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ANY BILLING DISPUTES, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.

9.2.1. Mandatory, Bilateral, and Binding Arbitration.

You and Life Wireless agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to your use of Life Wireless Services, or to any products or services sold or distributed by Life Wireless or through Life Wireless websites or mobile applications, including any dispute or claim as to the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be resolved only by final and binding, bilateral arbitration, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) this agreement to arbitrate does not include your or Life Wireless’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the Choice of Law & Jurisdiction provision below, to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement and govern all questions as to whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.

THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. THE ARBITRATOR MUST FOLLOW THIS AGREEMENT AND CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES).

9.2.2. Dispute Notice.

Before initiating an arbitration, you and Life Wireless each agree to first provide the other a written notice (“Notice of Dispute”), which shall contain: (a) a written description of the problem and relevant documents and supporting information; and (b) a statement of the specific relief sought. A Notice of Dispute can be (1) mailed to Life Wireless, Bill Dispute, P.O. Box 2840, Covington, Georgia 30015 (the “Notice Address”), (2) emailed at [email protected], (3) submitted by visiting www.lifewireless.com, or (4) brought to the attention to Life Wireless Customer Service at 1-877-543-3620. Life Wireless will provide a Notice of Dispute to you via the mailing address or email address associated with your Life Wireless account. You and Life Wireless agree to make attempts to resolve the dispute prior to commencing an arbitration and not to commence and arbitration proceeding until a 45-day post-notice resolution period expires. If an agreement cannot be reached within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you or Life Wireless may commence an arbitration proceeding.

This includes any claims against other parties relating to Services or Devices provided or billed to you (such as our suppliers, Dealers, or third party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding. We each also agree that the Agreement affects interstate commerce so that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply (despite the choice of law provision in Section 9.5).

THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. THE ARBITRATOR MUST FOLLOW THIS AGREEMENT AND CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES).

9.2.3. Arbitration Process and Procedure

All disputes shall be determined by binding arbitration (1) administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective June 1, 2021 (the “JAMS Rules”), and as modified by this agreement to arbitrate, including the rules regarding filing, administration, discovery, and arbitrator fees; (2) conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator; and (3) take place telephonically, unless an in-person hearing is specifically requested by either party, in such case in-person hearings shall take place in the county where you reside. To the extent that this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness (the “Minimum Standards”), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply.

Disputes may also be referred to another arbitration organization if you and Life Wireless agree in writing, or to an arbitrator appointed pursuant to Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act. 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, or representative action.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION FOR ANY DISPUTE COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

The JAMS Rules are available on its website at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. Notwithstanding any JAMS Rules to the contrary or any other provision in the arbitration rules chosen, by agreement, to govern, you and Life Wireless each agree that all issues regarding the dispute are delegated to the arbitrator to decide, except that a court (and not the arbitrator) shall decide any disagreements regarding the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate.

To commence an arbitration, a Demand for Arbitration is required to be executed and served on Life Wireless. Service of the Demand for Arbitration on Life Wireless can be mailed to Life Wireless, P.O. Box 2840, Covington, Georgia 30015 pursuant to the instructions provided by JAMS to submit a dispute for arbitration. Service of the Demand for Arbitration on you will be sent to you via the mailing address or email address associated with your Life Wireless account. Further instructions on submitting a Demand for Arbitration can be found at https://www.jamsadr.com/files/Uploads/Documents/JAMS_Arbitration_Demand.pdf. Life Wireless will bear the cost of your initial filing fee, and Life Wireless will pay the JAMS any case management fees associated with the arbitration and the professional fees for the arbitrator’s services.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT NEITHER YOU NOR COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, OR ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE. Further, unless both you and Life Wireless expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claim. If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive our right to a jury trial.

Arbitrator Selection. Arbitration will be conducted by one neutral arbitrator selected with the participation and involvement of both Life Wireless and you pursuant to JAMS Rule 12.

Exchange of Information. The Arbitration process shall include the voluntary and informal exchange of non-privileged documents and information relevant to the dispute, pursuant to JAMS Rule 12.

An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys’ fees. If the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. We agree not to seek an award of attorneys’ fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law.

Arbitrator Award. An arbitrator’s award will consist of a written statement of the disposition of each dispute and a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusion on which the award is based. The arbitrator’s decision and award are final and binding, subject only to the limited court review permitted under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Severability. If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is held to be unenforceable by a court or agency of competent jurisdiction, that part may be severed and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

9.3. CLASS ACTION WAIVER

WE (YOU AND Life Wireless) EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, then the arbitration agreement will be void as to you.

9.4. Small Claims

You and Life Wireless retain the right to seek remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within that court's jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator's award. This Arbitration Provision shall survive any termination, payoff or transfer of this contract. If any part of this Arbitration Provision, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. If a waiver of class action rights is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason in a case in which class action allegations have been made, the remainder of this Arbitration Provision shall be unenforceable.

9.5. Governing Law, Venue and Jurisdiction, and Court Proceedings

Except to the extent preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law and as otherwise described herein, this agreement is governed by the laws of the state of Georgia, without regard to choice of law principles, conflicts of laws rules, or your actual state of residence. For any claim that proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive our right to a jury trial and any claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Unless otherwise specified herein, any Disputes of a legal nature, whether a claim, complaint, arbitration demand, or otherwise that is not subject to the mandatory arbitration provision, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located within the state of Georgia.
