Important Information for the ZTE PRESTIGE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION This booklet contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your phone. Failure to read and follow the information provided in this booklet may result in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage. General Precautions There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
+ To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion of your phone where the internal antenna is located while using the phone.
+ Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
+ Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove thebattery.
+ Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended periods of time
(such as on the dashboard of a car).
+ Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
+ Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment. Note: For the best care of your device, only authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty. 2 Important Safety Information Maintaining Safe Use of and Access toYour Phone Do Not Rely on Your Phone for EmergencyCalls Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details. Using Your Phone While Driving Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first. Following Safety Guidelines To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference ordanger. Using Your Phone Near Other ElectronicDevices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment. RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Important Safety Information 3 Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment. Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air. Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives. Turn your phone off when youre in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although its rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:
+ Fueling areas such as gas stations.
+ Below deck on boats.
+ Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
+ Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
+ Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicles engine. Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains yourphone or accessories. 4 Important Safety Information Restricting Childrens Access to Your Phone Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your invoice. Using Your Phone With a Hearing AidDevice A number of Boost phones have been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearingdevice. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19 was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability rating categories for both. Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your ZTE PRESTIGE has an M3/T3 rating. These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the users hearing device and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less interference Important Safety Information 5 to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.) T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing devices telecoil (T Switch or Telephone Switch) than unrated phones. (T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.) Note: New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be newer wireless technologies
(including Wi-Fi) used in this phone that have not been tested for use with hearing aids. Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless phones and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:
+ Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.
+ Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
+ Any combined rating equal to four is consideredusable. Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for excellent use. This is synonymous for T ratings. It is further suggested you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3/
T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the store. 6 Important Safety Information More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: fcc.gov, fda.gov, and accesswireless.org. Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Phone To further minimize interference:
+ Set the phones display and keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval:
1. Touch 2. Touch Sleep to set the time interval before
> Settings
> Display.
>
the display backlight turns off; touch Navigation key light duration to turn on or off keypad backlight and set backlight duration.
+ Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.
+ Move the phone around to find the point with least interference. Caring for the Battery Protecting Your Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your batterys performance.
+ Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Boost is not aware of similar problems with Boost phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by Boost or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Boost-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories found at boostmobile.com or through your phones manufacturer. Buying theright batteries and accessories is the bestway to ensure theyre genuine and safe. Important Safety Information 7

When its turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode. Important Safety Information 9 Knowing Radio Frequency Safety The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below. In 199192, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSIs 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). from your body when Body-Worn Operation To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use a Boost-supplied or Boost-approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 10O mm transmitting. Use of non-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at fcc.gov. Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) for WirelessPhones The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset. The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the 10 Important Safety Information phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety. All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public. At the time this booklet was printed, the SAR ratings were not available. FCC Radio Frequency Emission This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines. SRQ-ZTEN9132 FCC ID :

Usage Charges The types of charges that you incur will vary depending on the Service used and your service plan. You are responsible for the Services on your account and associated charges, including charges made by a person you permit to have direct or indirect access to your device even if you 26 General Terms and Conditions of Service effective 7-1-13 did not authorize its use. Charges may include, but are not limited to, prepayment for service charges; charges for additional services; and taxes, surcharges, and fees associated with your Services. For the actual usage charges applicable to your Service, see the detailed plan or other information we provide or refer you to during the sales transaction or on our website. Depending on your Services, charges for additional services may include operator and directory assistance, voicemail, call forwarding, data calls, texts, and Web access. If you (the account holder) allow end users to access or use your Device, you authorize end users to access, download, and use Services. You will generally be charged for use of Services before or at the time of use in accordance with your service plan. In certain instances, we may charge at some point after you use the Service. Rates that vary based on the time of access will be determined based on the location of the network equipment providing service and not the location of your Device or your Devices area code (if applicable). Charges are generally deducted from your account balance
(for example, pay-per-use charges, subscription charges, etc.), though in some instances you may be able to pay for certain Services through a credit card, debit card, or other payment method. If you have incurred charges or fees that were not charged prior to your account balance reaching a zero balance, we may deduct these outstanding, unpaid charges and fees from any subsequent amounts you add to your account balance. Types of Charges We typically assess the following types of charges: (1) pay-per-use charges, which are charges assessed each time a Service is used;
(2) subscription charges, which are charges that allow you access to a Service or provide you a certain amount of use of a Service for a defined period of time. Subscription charges for Services end at 11:59 p.m., in the time zone in which your effective 7-1-13 General Terms and Conditions of Service 27 phone number is based, on the last day of your subscription period. Also, depending on your Service, certain types of subscription charges may be assessed automatically upon activation and automatically assessed for subsequent subscription periods; and (3) download charges, which are charges assessed when you download or access content, which we collect on behalf of ourselves or third-party content providers. How We Calculate Your Charges Regular Voice Calls: We round up partial minutes of use to the next full minute. Time starts when you press Talk or your Device connects to the network and stops when you press End or the network connection otherwise breaks. Youre charged for all calls that connect, even to answering machines, voicemail, or voice transcription services. You wont be charged for unanswered calls or if you get a busy signal. For incoming calls answered, youre charged from the time shortly before the Device starts ringing until you press End or the network connection otherwise breaks. Youre charged for the entire call based on the rate that applies to the time period in which the call starts. However, the types of charges actually deducted from your account balance will vary depending on your Service. Call time data displayed on your Device may be inaccurate and may not be relied upon for determining charges to your account. Call time for a single call may be limited. If the call exceeds the limit, then it may be automatically terminated. Data Usage: Depending on your Service, you may be charged for data usage. Unless we specifically tell you otherwise, data usage is measured in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytesnot in minutes/time. 1024 bytes equals 1 kilobyte (KB), 1024 KB equals 1 megabyte, and 1024 megabytes equals 1 gigabyte. Bytes are rounded up to KB, so you will be charged at least 1 KB for each data usage session (data session). Rounding occurs at the end of each data session and sometimes during 28 General Terms and Conditions of Service effective 7-1-13 a data session. Depending on your data Services, usage may be charged against an allowance or on a fixed price per KB, and you may be subject to limitations on the amount of data usage. If you are charged on a fixed price per KB, any fractional cents will be rounded up to the next cent. You are charged for all data directed to your Devices Internet address, including data sessions you did not initiate and for incomplete transfers. As long as your Device is connected to our data networks, you may incur data charges. Examples of data for which you will be charged includes the size of a requested file or Data Content (game, ringer, etc.); Web page graphics
(logos, pictures, banners, advertisement, etc.);
additional data used in accessing, transporting, and routing the file on our network; data from partial or interrupted downloads; re-sent data;
and data associated with unsuccessful attempts to reach websites or use applications. These data charges are in addition to any charges for the Data Content itself (game, ringer, etc.). Data used and charged to you will vary widely, even between identical actions or data sessions. Estimates of data usagefor example, the size of downloadable filesare not reliable predictors of actual usage. Taxes & Government Fees You agree to pay all federal, state, and local taxes, fees, and other assessments that were required by law to collect and remit to the government on the Services that we provide to you. These charges may change from time to time without advance notice. Surcharges You agree to pay all Boost surcharges
(Surcharges), which may include, but are not limited to: Federal Universal Service; Regulatory and Administrative charges; gross receipts charges, and other charges. Surcharges are not taxes, and we are not required by law to assess them. They are part of our rates we choose, at our discretion, to collect from you to recover certain effective 7-1-13 General Terms and Conditions of Service 29 costs, and are kept by us. The number and type of Surcharges will be provided and may vary depending upon the location of the transaction or the primary account address of the payment method or Device and can change over time. We determine the amount for these charges, and these amounts are subject to change as are the components used to calculate these amounts. We will provide you notice of any changes to Surcharges in a manner consistent with this Agreement (see Providing Notice To Each Other Under The Agreement section). However, because some Surcharges are based on amounts set by the government or based on government formulas, it will not always be possible to provide advance notice of new Surcharges or changes in the amount of existing Surcharges. Information on Surcharges is provided during the sales transaction and is available on our website. Disputing Charges Any dispute to a charge that we assess you must be made in writing within 60 days of the date we deduct the charge from your account balance. You accept all charges not properly disputed within the above time period. About Account Balances To keep your account active and avoid service interruptions, you must either maintain a positive account balance at all times or pay any applicable subscription charges (depending on your service plan). Account balances are not transferable, redeemable for cash, or refundable; that is, once you make payment on your account, you are provided a credit on your account that can only be used to pay for our Services during the effective period, which varies depending on your service plan. Positive account balances are forfeited if they are not used within the effective period specified in your service plan (if you properly 30 General Terms and Conditions of Service effective 7-1-13 replenish your account balance during the effective period, the effective period restarts). If you do not use your account balance during the effective period, your account balance will expire and you will not be entitled to a refund or service credit. Your Service will be interrupted if you fail to maintain a positive account balance or timely pay applicable subscription charges for each effective period. When this service interruption occurs, you will be given a period of time (which varies depending on your service plan) to make any appropriate payments on your account. If you do not make such payments within this time period, your account will be cancelled. If your account is cancelled, you will lose any phone number, identification number, or email address associated with your account. Reactivation fees will apply if you choose to restart Service after cancellation. There may be limits over which your account balance may not exceed. See the detailed plan or other information we provide or refer you to during the sales transaction (also available at boostmobile.com) for the account status rules that apply to your Service. Switching between Service Plans Unless otherwise provided in the detailed plan or other information we provide or refer you to during the sales transaction, you may switch to any current service plan. If you switch service plans, you may not receive a refund of any portion of any previously paid service charges and you may lose all of your remaining unused minutes, messages, and data allotment. Some service plans are available only on certain phones. Check boostmobile.com for details and options. No Refunds of Re-Boost and Monthly Charges We are not responsible for, nor do we refund, lost, stolen, misused, or damaged Re-Boost cards. We do not accept returns of or provide refunds for Re-Boost cards. Please ask your retailer any effective 7-1-13 General Terms and Conditions of Service 31 questions regarding its return policy. Re-Boost cards must be applied to your account within the time specified on the card. All Re-Boost sales are final and non-refundable regardless of who uses or possesses your mobile phone or Device after you purchase services, and regardless of whether the mobile phone or Device is used with your consent or knowledge. Establishing or Replenishing Account Balances Information on how you can establish and maintain an account balance will be provided at activation and is also available at boostmobile.com or through Boost Customer Care. The replenishment methods available to you will depend on the terms of your Services. A fee may apply to certain replenishment methods. Some service plans may provide for automatic account balance replenishment through, for example, automatic billing to a credit card or debit card or automatic debit from an eligible account with a financial institution. Payment through these methods may be subject to limitations, including, but not limited to, the number of times an account may be debited or charged in a particular time period; the amount that may be debited or charged from an account; or other limitations imposed by us or the financial institution that holds the account. Protecting Our Networks & Services We can take any action to: (1) protect our networks, our rights and interests, or the rights of others; or (2) optimize or improve the overall use of our networks and Services. Some of these actions may interrupt or prevent legitimate communications and usagefor example, message filtering/blocking software to prevent spam or viruses; limiting throughput; limiting access to certain websites, applications or other Data Content; prohibitions on unintended uses 32 General Terms and Conditions of Service effective 7-1-13
(for example, use as a dedicated line or use as a monitoring service); etc. For additional information on what we do to protect our customers, networks, Services and equipment, see our Acceptable Use Policy and Visitors Agreement at our website. Your Privacy Our Privacy Policy is available at boostmobile. com/privacy. This policy may change from time to time, so review it with regularity and care. Call Monitoring: To ensure the quality of our Services and for other lawful purposes, we may monitor or record calls you make to us or we make to you (for example, your conversations with our customer service or sales departments). Authentication and Contact: You (the account holder) may password protect your account information by establishing a personal identification number (PIN). You may also set a backup security question and answer in the event you forget your PIN. You agree to protect your PIN, passwords, and other account access credentials like your backup security question from loss or disclosure. You further agree that Boost may, in our sole discretion, treat any person who presents your credentials that we deem sufficient for account access as you or an authorized user on the account for disclosure of information or changes in Service. You agree that we may contact you for Service-related reasons through the contact information that you provide, through the Services or Devices to which you subscribe, or through other available means, including text message, email, fax, recorded message, mobile, residential or business phone, or mail. CPNI: As we provide telecommunications products and Services to you (the account holder), we develop information about the quantity, technical configuration, type, location, and destination of telecommunications products and Services you use, as well as some other information found on your bill (CPNI). Under federal law, you have effective 7-1-13 General Terms and Conditions of Service 33 the right, and we have a duty, to protect the confidentiality of your CPNI. For example, we implement safeguards that are designed to protect your CPNI, including authentication procedures when you contact us. For some accounts with a dedicated Boost representative, we may rely on contacting your pre-established point of contact as the standard authentication measure. Third-Party Applications: If you use a third-
party application, the application may access, collect, use, or disclose your personal information or require Boost to disclose your informationincluding location information
(when applicable)to the application provider or some other third party. If you access, use, or authorize third-party applications through the Services, you agree and authorize Boost to provide information related to your use of the Services or the application(s). You understand that your use of third-party applications is subject to the third partys terms and conditions and policies, including its privacy policy. Be sure that you have reviewed and are comfortable with the third partys policies before using its application on your device. Information on Devices: Your Device may contain sensitive or personal information (for example, pictures, videos, passwords, or stored credit card numbers). Boost is not responsible for any information on your Device, including sensitive or personal information. If possible, you should remove or otherwise safeguard any sensitive or personal information when your Device is out of your possession or control, for example, when you relinquish, exchange, return, or recycle your Device. By submitting your Device to us, you agree that our employees, contractors, or vendors may access all of the information on your Device. If you exchange, return, or recycle your Device through us, we typically attempt to erase all data on your Device, but you must remove all data from your Device before you provide it to us. 34 General Terms and Conditions of Service effective 7-1-13 Location-Enabled Services Our networks generally know the location of your Device when it is outdoors and/or turned on. By using various technologies to locate your Device, we can provide enhanced emergency 911 services and optional location-enabled services provided by us or a third party. Network coverage or environmental factors (such as structures, buildings, weather, geography, landscape, and topography) can significantly impact the ability to access your Devices location information and use of location-enabled services. You agree that any authorized user may access, use, or authorize Boost or third-party location-enabled applications through the Services. You understand that your use of such location-enabled applications is subject to the applications terms and conditions and policies, including its privacy policy. If you activate location-enabled services for devices used by other authorized users, you agree to inform the authorized user(s) of the terms of use for location-enabled applications and that the Device may be located. 911 Or Other Emergency Calls Public safety officials advise that when making 911 or other emergency calls, you should always be prepared to provide your location information. Unlike traditional wireline phones, depending on a number of factors (for example, whether your Device is GPS-enabled, where you are, whether local emergency service providers have upgraded their equipment, etc.), 911 operators may not know your phone number, your location, or the location of your Device. In certain circumstances, an emergency call may be routed to a state patrol dispatcher or alternative location set by local emergency service providers. Enhanced 911 service
(E911)where enabled by local emergency authoritiesuses GPS technology to provide effective 7-1-13 General Terms and Conditions of Service 35 location information. Even when available, however, E911 does not always provide accurate location information. If your Device is indoors or for some other reason cannot acquire a satellite signal, you may not be located. Some Devices have a safety feature that prevents use of the keypad after dialing 911you should follow voice prompts when interacting with emergency service providers employing interactive voice response systems to screen calls. If Your Device Is Lost or Stolen Call us immediately if your Device is lost or stolen so we can freeze your account. You may be responsible for usage charges before you notify us of the alleged loss or theft. You agree to cooperate if we choose to investigate the matter
(provide facts, sworn statements, etc.). We may not credit or refund any account balance if you choose to terminate Services as a result of loss or theft of your Device. If you do not either activate a new device or notify us that you have found your Device within 60 days from the date we froze your account, your account will be deactivated, we may assess a charge equal to the balance in your account (which is not refundable), and, if applicable, you will lose your phone number. Disclaimer of Warranties UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN WRITING OTHERWISE, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE CONCERNING YOUR SERVICES (INCLUDING YOUR DEVICE AND ANY SOFTWARE OR APPLICATIONS ON YOUR DEVICE). WE DONT PROMISE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICES AND DONT AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO MAKE WARRANTIES ON OUR BEHALF. BOOST PROVIDES ALL SOFTWARE 36 General Terms and Conditions of Service effective 7-1-13 AND APPLICATIONS ON AN AS IS BASIS WITH ALL FAULTS, ERRORS, AND DEFECTS. You Agree That We Are Not Responsible For Certain Problems You agree that neither we nor our parent, subsidiary, or affiliate companies, nor our vendors, suppliers, or licensors are responsible for any damages, delay, interruption or other failure to perform resulting from: (a) anything done or not done by someone else; (b) providing or failing to provide Services, including, but not limited to, deficiencies or problems with a Device or network coverage (for example, dropped, blocked, interrupted Services, etc.); (c) traffic or other accidents, or any health-related claims relating to our Services; (d) Data Content or information accessed while using our Services;
(e) an interruption or failure in accessing or attempting to access emergency services from a Device, including through 911, Enhanced 911 or otherwise; (f) interrupted, failed, or inaccurate location information services; (g) information or communication that is blocked by a spam filter;
(h) damage to your Device or any computer or equipment connected to your Device, or damage to or loss of any information stored on your Device, computer, equipment, or Boost storage space from your use of the Services or from viruses, worms, or downloads of malicious content, materials, data, text, images, video, or audio; or

You should implement appropriate safeguards to secure your Device, computer, or equipment and to backup your information stored on each. effective 7-1-13 General Terms and Conditions of Service 37 You Agree That Our Liability Is Limited
- No Consequential Damages TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, OUR LIABILITY FOR MONETARY DAMAGES FOR ANY CLAIMS THAT YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US IS LIMITED TO NO MORE THAN THE PROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF THE SERVICE CHARGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE AFFECTED PERIOD. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE WE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, MULTIPLE, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO PROVIDING OR FAILING TO PROVIDE SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH A DEVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR COST OF REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. DISPUTE RESOLUTION ANDARBITRATION PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY;
IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS In those rare instances where your concern is not resolved to your satisfaction through calls to our customer care, you and Boost each agree to try to resolve those disputes in good faith after you provide written notice of the dispute as set forth below. If the dispute is not resolved, you and Boost agree that the dispute will be resolved through individual binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of courts of general jurisdiction. Mandatory Arbitration and Waiver of Class Action Instead of suing in court, you and Boost agree to arbitrate all Disputes (as defined below) on an individual, non-representative, basis. You 38 General Terms and Conditions of Service effective 7-1-13 agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Boost are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action or representative action. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury. Instead Disputes are decided by a neutral third-
party arbitrator in a more informal process than in court. In arbitration, there is limited discovery and the arbitrators decision is subject to limited review by courts. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must honor the terms of the Agreement and can award damages and relief, including any attorneys fees authorized by law. Disputes shall include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies against each other related in any way to or arising out of in any way our Services or the Agreement, including, but not limited to, coverage, Devices, billing services and practices, policies, contract practices (including enforceability), service claims, privacy, or advertising, even if the claim arises after Services have terminated. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you or an authorized or unauthorized user of the Services or Devices bring against our employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; (b) you bring against a third party, such as a retailer or equipment manufacturer, that are based on, relate to, or arise out of in any way our Services or the Agreement; or (c) that Boost brings against you. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, (i) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the relationship between you and Boost, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before this Agreement or out of a prior Agreement with Boost; (iii) claims that are subject to on-going litigation where you are not effective 7-1-13 General Terms and Conditions of Service 39 a party or class member; and/or (iv) claims that arise after the termination of this Agreement. Dispute Notice and Dispute Resolution Period Before initiating an arbitration or a small claims matter, you and Boost each agree to first provide to 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 to Boost should be sent to: General Counsel;
Arbitration Office; 12502 Sunrise Valley Drive, Mailstop VARESA0202-2C682; Reston, Virginia 20191. Boost will provide a Notice of Dispute to you in accordance with the Providing Notice To Each Other Under The Agreement section of this Agreement. Boost will assign a representative to work with you and try to resolve your Dispute to your satisfaction. You and Boost agree to make attempts to resolve the Dispute prior to commencing an arbitration or small claims action. If an agreement cannot be reached within forty-
five (45) days of receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you or Boost may commence an arbitration proceeding or small claims action. Arbitration Terms, Process, Rules and Procedures
(1) Unless you and Boost agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and will take place in the county of the last billing address of the Service. The arbitration will be governed by either: (a) rules that we mutually agree upon; or (b) the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the JAMS Rules), as modified by this agreement to arbitrate, including the rules about the filing, administration, discovery and arbitrator fees. The JAMS rules are available on its website 40 General Terms and Conditions of Service effective 7-1-13 at jamsadr.com. Notwithstanding any JAMS Rule to the contrary or any other provision in arbitration rules chosen, by agreement, to govern the arbitration, we each agree that all issues regarding the Dispute are delegated to the arbitrator to decide, except that only a court (and not the arbitrator) shall decide any disagreements regarding the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate.
(2) The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) applies to this Agreement and arbitration provision. We each agree that the FAAs provisions not state lawgovern all questions of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration. To the extent that this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards for Procedural Fairness
(the Minimum Standards), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply. However, nothing in this paragraph will require or allow you or Boost to arbitrate on a class-wide, representative or consolidated basis.
(3) The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that partys individual claim. YOU AND BOOST AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Boost expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one persons claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If any portion of this provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
(4) We each are responsible for our respective costs, including our respective counsel, effective 7-1-13 General Terms and Conditions of Service 41 experts, and witnesses. Boost will pay for any filing or case management fees associated with the arbitration and the professional fees for the arbitrators services.
(5) An arbitrators award will be a written statement of the disposition of each claim and will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions which form the basis of the award. The arbitrators decision and award is final and binding, with some limited court review under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
(6) As an alternative to arbitration, we may resolve Disputes in small claims court in the county of your most recent billing address. In addition, this arbitration agreement does not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Boost on your behalf. No Trial By Jury and No Class Action IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY WAY PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM IS AN ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER COURT PROCEEDING, WE EACH AGREE THAT TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL OR CLASS ACTION AND WE EACH UNCONDITIONALLY
(1) WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND
(2) WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS, INCLUDING JOINING A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING. 42 General Terms and Conditions of Service effective 7-1-13 Indemnification You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Boost and our subsidiaries, affiliates, parent companies, vendors, suppliers, and licensors harmless from any claims arising out of or relating to your actions, including, but not limited to, your use of the Service and any information you submit, post, transmit, or make available via the Service;
failing to provide appropriate notices regarding location-enabled services (see Location-
Enabled Services section); failure to safeguard your passwords, backup question to your shared secret question, or other account information;
or violating this Agreement or any policy referenced in this Agreement, any applicable law or regulation, or the rights of any third party. Providing Notice To Each Other Under The Agreement Except as the Agreement specifically provides otherwise, you must deliver written notice to us by mail to Attn: Boost, NSSG SBU, 1084 Laurel Rd., London, KY 40744 or email to Boostmobilecustomerassistance@
boostmobile.com. We will provide you notice by correspondence to your last known address in our records, to any fax number or email address youve provided us, by calling you on your Device or any other phone number youve provided us, by voice message on your Device or any other phone number youve provided us, or by text message on your Device. Other Important Terms Subject to federal law or unless the Agreement specifically provides otherwise, this Agreement is governed solely by the laws of the state encompassing the area code assigned to your Device, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of that state. If either of us waives or doesnt enforce a requirement under this Agreement in an instance, we dont waive our right to later enforce effective 7-1-13 General Terms and Conditions of Service 43 Services (for example, those relating to billing, payment, 911, dispute resolution, no class action, no jury trial) survive termination of Services.
[End General Terms and Conditions of Service]
that requirement. Except as the Agreement specifically provides otherwise, if any part of the Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement remains in full force and effect. This Agreement isnt for the benefit of any third party except our corporate parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, and predecessors and successors in interest. You cant assign the Agreement or any of your rights or duties under it unless we agree to the assignment. We can assign the Agreement without notice. You cannot in any manner resell Devices or Services to another party. You cannot export any Device. The Agreement and the documents it incorporates make up the entire agreement between us and replaces all prior written or spoken agreements you cant rely on any contradictory documents or statements by sales or service representatives.
