7. Your Wireless Device & Compatibility with Other Networks. Your Chat Mobility Device may not be compatible with the network and services provided by another service provider. You may buy a Device from us or bring your own Device, but it must, as solely determined by Chat Mobility, be compatible with, and not potentially harm, our network. Some Chat Mobility features will be available only on Chat Mobility Devices purchased from us. A Chat Mobility Device is designed to be used only with Chat Mobility Service. You may be eligible to have your Chat Mobility Device reprogrammed to work with another carrier, but you must contact us to do so.

Chat Mobility reserves the right to prevent your Device from being used on our network. At times we may remotely change software, systems, applications, features or programming on your Device without notice to you for security, safety, or network purposes. These changes will modify your Device and may affect or erase data you have stored on your Device, your Device programming, or the way you use your Device. We may offer you changes to systems, applications, features or programming remotely to your Device; you will not be able to use your Device during the installation of the changes.
   
   
8. Service Availability. Coverage maps only approximate our anticipated wireless coverage area outdoors; actual Service area, coverage and quality may vary and change without notice depending on a variety of factors including network capacity, terrain and weather. Outages and interruptions in Service may occur, and speed of Service varies. You agree we are not liable for problems relating to Service availability or quality.
   
   
9. Important Emergency and 9-1-1 Information and Emergency Alerts. When making a 9-1-1 call, always state the nature of your emergency and provide both your location and phone number, as the operator may not automatically receive this information. Chat Mobility is not responsible for failures to connect or complete 9-1-1 calls or if inaccurate location information is provided. 9-1-1 service may not be available or reliable and your ability to receive emergency services may be impeded.

10. You agree to pay all Charges we bill you or that were accepted or processed through your Device. For disputed Charges, see Section 15. You agree to provide us with accurate and complete billing information and to report all changes within 30 days of the change. We round up any fraction of a minute to the next full minute. Unless otherwise specified in your Rate Plan, the rate for a call is determined by the time the call starts, and that rate applies to the entire call. For some products, such as Prepaid Service, each minute of a call will be billed according to the time or day applicable to that minute. You may be charged for more than one call/message when you use certain features resulting in multiple inbound or outbound calls/messages (such as call forwarding, call waiting, voicemail, conference calling, and multi-party messaging). Most usage and Charges incurred during a billing cycle will be included in your bill for that cycle. Some usage and Charges may be delayed to a later billing cycle, which may cause you to exceed Rate Plan Allotments in a later billing cycle. Unused Rate Plan Allotments expire at the end of your billing cycle. Airtime usage applies to all calls processed through your Device, including toll-free, operator-assisted, voice mail, call forwarding and calling card calls. You may be billed additional Charges or fees for certain features and services such as operator or directory assistance, data calls or transfers, messaging, internet access and applications. Data Usage and Messaging: Depending upon your Rate Plan, data usage may be rounded at the end of each data session, at the end of your billing cycle, and/or at the time you switch data plans. See www.chatmobility.com for your Rate Plan details. You will be charged for text, instant or picture messages, and email whether read or unread, sent or received, solicited or unsolicited.
    
    
11. Data Plans and Other Features. Your Device may not be able to access data, or you may be charged for data usage on a pay per use basis, unless data Service is included in your Rate Plan.  Tethering your Device to other lawful devices is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions and allotments of your Data Plan. Protective Measures: To provide the best possible experience for the most possible customers and minimize capacity issues and degradation in network performance, we may take certain steps to manage our network. Chat Mobility constantly works to improve network performance and capacity, but there are physical and technical limits on how much capacity is available, and in constrained locations the frequency of heavy loading in relation to available capacity may be greater than in other locations. When network loading goes down or the customer moves to a location that is less heavily loaded in relation to available capacity, the customer's speeds will likely improve. If you use your Data Plan in a manner that could interfere with other customers service, affect our ability to allocate network capacity among customers, or degrade service quality for other customers, we may suspend, terminate, or switch you to a more appropriate Data Plan. Downloadable Content and Applications: Content or Applications (Content & Apps) that you can purchase with your Device may not be sold by Chat Mobility. For third-party purchases, Chat Mobility is not responsible for the Content & Apps, including download, installation, use, transmission failure, interruption, or delay, or any content or website you may be able to access through the Content & Apps. Unless otherwise stated, any support questions for these Content & Apps should be directed to the third-party seller. When you use, download or install Content & Apps sold by a third-party seller, you may be subject to license terms between you and third parties. Whether purchased from a third party, any Content & Apps you purchase are licensed for personal, lawful, non-commercial use on your Device only. You may not transfer, copy, or reverse engineer any Content & Apps, or alter, disable or circumvent any digital rights management security features embedded in the Content & Apps. Content & Apps may not be transferable from one Device to another Device. Some Devices or Content & Apps may continue to have contact with our network without your knowledge, which may result in additional Charges. Chat Mobility is not responsible for any third-party content, advertisements, or websites you may be able to access using your Device. Refer to the Contents or Apps creator/owners privacy policy for information regarding their use of information collected when you download, install, or use any third-party Content & Apps. We are not responsible for any transmission failure, interruption, or delay related to Content & Apps, or any content or website you may be able to access through the Content & Apps. Wi-Fi Calling: You acknowledge and agree that your use of any Wi-Fi network is permissible and that you (and not Chat Mobility) are solely responsible for your use. Cell Broadcasts, Emergency Alerts, and Wireless Priority Service (WPS) may not be available with Wi-Fi Calling.
    
    
12. PRESERVING HIGH SPEED DATA ON UNLIMITED DATA PLANS Data on your Unlimited+ or Unlimited Plan’s line of service will automatically shift to 128 kilobits per second (128 Kbps) when you’ve exhausted your high-speed allotment of 30GB or 22GB. The 128 Kbps rate will continue until the end of the bill cycle where it will be restored to its original speed. Normal applications like email or basic web browsing should perform well at this rate. However, activities such as high definition video streaming or transferring large files are better experienced at higher data speeds. To help avoid a reduction in high-speed data and reduce mobile data consumption, customer(s) may choose to connect to a secure Wi-Fi data source whenever possible.
    
    
13. Roaming. Your device may connect to another providers network (Off-Net) even when you are in Chat Mobility's home coverage area. There may be extra charges (including long distance, toll, data usage) and higher rates for Off-Net usage. These added charges only pertain to certain rate plans prior October 1, 2017.
    
    Chat Mobility charges $.99 per minute roaming fee while in Canada. And, if you call Canada from anywhere within the United States, you will be charged $.25 per minute. All partial minutes are rounded to the next whole minute. You must use your Device predominantly within the Chat Mobility owned network coverage area. If you exceed your Rate Plan or Data Plan Off-Net domestic Allotments for voice usage, data usage or messaging usage, you may be alerted and your access to service may be suspended, terminated or denied. We may also limit or terminate your Service in our discretion and without prior notice if you no longer reside in a Chat Mobility-owned network coverage area, if more than 50% of your voice and/or data usage is Off-Net and if your Off-Net usage makes it uneconomical for Chat Mobility to provide Service to you.
    
    
14. Taxes, Fees, and Surcharges. Taxes and Fees. You agree to pay all taxes and fees imposed by governments or governmental entities. We may not give advance notice of changes to taxes & fees. To determine taxes & fees, we will use the street address you identified as your Place of Primary Use (PPU). If you did not identify the correct PPU, or if you provided an address (such as a PO box) that is not a recognized street address, does not identify the applicable taxing jurisdictions or does not reflect the Service area associated with your telephone number, you may be assigned a default location for tax purposes. In the event of a disputed tax jurisdiction location or with respect to any disagreement regarding the taxes and fees assessed on your bill, you must request a tax refund within 60 days of our notification to you that the tax has been assessed. Surcharges. You agree to pay all Surcharges. The components and amounts of these Charges are subject to change without notice. Surcharges include, but are not limited to, charges, costs, fees and certain taxes Chat Mobility incurs to provide Services. Examples include general and administrative fees as well as governmental-related Surcharges. Surcharges will apply whether or not you benefit from the programs, activities or services included in the Surcharge. You can find the Surcharges in either the Taxes, Fees & Surcharges or the Other Charges section of your bill.
    
    
15. Payments, Administrative Fees, Deposits, and Credit Checks. If we do not receive payment in full by the due date on your bill, you may be charged, and agree to pay, a $7.50/month administrative fee. The new fee will take effect on 2/15/21. We may use a collection agency and you agree to pay collection agency fees. If we accept late or partial payments, we do not waive our right to collect all amounts you owe, including late fees. If your check, electronic funds transfer payment, including debit or Automated Clearing House payment, or any other payment is dishonored or returned, we may charge you $35, or the maximum amount allowed under applicable law. We may also require you to use another payment method, and/or immediately suspend or cancel your Service. We will not honor limiting notations you make on or with your checks. Late payment, non-payment or collection agency fees are liquidated damages intended to be a reasonable advance estimate of our costs resulting from late payments and non-payments by our customers; these costs are not readily ascertainable and are difficult to predict or calculate at the time that these fees are set. Credit Checks: You authorize us to obtain information about your credit history from credit-reporting agencies at any time. You understand that a credit inquiry could adversely affect your credit rating.
    
    
16. Your Right to Dispute Charges.
