2. LIFELINE SUPPORTED SERVICE

Easy Wireless provides Lifeline Supported Service to eligible consumers. Lifeline reduces the cost of wireless or wireline telephone Service or broadband Internet access service with a discount that appears monthly on your invoice.  The Lifeline discount is limited to one per household, defined, for purposes of the Lifeline program, as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. You may receive a Lifeline discount on wireline or wireless Service, but not on both.  Lifeline support may vary between states, but the amount of discount seen on your invoice will equal the amount Easy Wireless receives in Federal Universal Service Support. You may qualify for the Lifeline program if you participate in one of the government programs listed below, or you may qualify if your household income meets the eligibility standards defined below.  When establishing Lifeline Service with Easy Wireless, you are consenting to your name, telephone number, and address be given to the administrating body of the Lifeline Program known as the Universal Service Administrative Company, or USAC, for the purpose of verifying that you do not receive more than one Lifeline supported Service. Refusal to grant permission for USAC to obtain this information will result in a denial of Lifeline Service with Easy Wireless. You grant permission to Easy Wireless to access any records required to verify your statements and to confirm continued eligibility of the Lifeline Program. This consent is in effect for the life of the subscriber plus 3 years after any Service with Easy Wireless is terminated. If you, or any family member in your household, obtains Lifeline Service with any other provider, you are required to notify Easy Wireless immediately. Conversely, before you establish Service with Easy Wireless, all other Lifeline supported Services must be terminated.  You are responsible for notifying the other provider they have been approved for Service with Easy Wireless.

You may qualify for a Lifeline Service offering if you meet certain state and federal eligibility requirements. These requirements are determined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). These federal eligibility requirements are also based on either program or income based eligibility. Lifeline eligibility will be determined for the FCC by USAC’s National Verifier and National Lifeline Accountability Database.

There may be additional costs in acquiring new equipment. 

10. AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM BROADBAND BENEFIT

The Affordable Connectivity Benefit (ACP) is a broadband benefit program operated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that provides discounts on monthly broadband internet access service and certain connected devices. The ACP will provide a discount of up to $30 per month towards broadband service for eligible households and or up to $75 per month for households on Tribal lands, as defined by FCC rules. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price. The ACP monthly service and device discounts are non-transferable. An eligible household is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount. ACP benefits may be obtained from any participating provider of your choosing and your monthly service benefits may be transferred to another provider at any time. The ACP discount may be applied to any available Easy Wireless service plan. Consumers eligible for Lifeline are automatically eligible for ACP, however, they will be required to opt in to the program in order to enroll in ACP broadband services. The ACP plan is separate from the Lifeline Plan. Consumers will have options to combine their ACP benefit with their Lifeline benefit on one device or have their ACP benefit and Lifeline benefit on separate devices. Should the FCC announce an end to the ACP, Easy Wireless will notify consumers and their monthly service will revert to a Lifeline only service, where available and when eligible. Where Lifeline plans are not available or consumers are not eligible, consumers may keep their broadband service by paying the applicable undiscounted rate plus fees and taxes, in which case, our standard terms and conditions will apply. Lifeline customers may choose to take ACP benefits from a service provider other than their existing Lifeline provider.

11. Easy Wireless Affordable Connectivity Program Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern your participation in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), and includes required disclosures and eligibility information. Our standard terms and conditions, including the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), also apply and are available at https://easy.telcoprovider.com/. In the event the ACP Terms and Conditions and the standard terms and conditions conflict, the ACP Terms and Conditions control. If you have additional questions, call us at 1-888-792-0076 or 611 from your Easy Wireless phone. Easy Wireless is a service of Easy Telephone Service Company, Inc.

The ACP is a government benefit program operated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that provides discounts on monthly broadband Internet access service. The ACP provides discounts of up to $30 per eligible household on monthly broadband Internet access service (or up to $75 per eligible household on Tribal lands). Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price. The ACP monthly service discount cannot be transferred to another household or individual. An eligible household is limited to one monthly service discount and a single one-time device discount per household. ACP benefits may be obtained from any participating provider and your monthly service benefit may be transferred to another provider subject to regulatory restrictions. ACP service is subject to consumer eligibility, provider participation, product availability, and approval by the FCC/Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC). The ACP was launched on December 31, 2021, and replaces the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program. Complaints may be directed to us at 1-877-476-3451 or 611 from your Easy Wireless phone. Unresolved questions or complaints may be directed to the FCC’s Consumer Complaint Center.  

By applying for or subscribing to Easy Wireless’s ACP supported services, you authorize Easy Wireless and its contracted partners, for the purpose of applying for, determining eligibility, enrolling in and seeking reimbursement of ACP service and device benefits, to collect, use, share and retain your personal information, including, but not limited to, information required for the purpose of establishing eligibility for and enrolling in the Lifeline program, and including, but not limited to, full name, full residential address, date of birth, last four digits of social security number, telephone number, eligibility criteria and status, the date on which the ACP service discount was initiated and, if applicable, terminated, ACP connected device distribution date/type/make and model/status, usage status and other compliance requirements, the amount of support being sought for the service and/or connected device, and information necessary to establish identity and verifiable address. This includes sharing the information with USAC and the FCC to ensure proper administration of the ACP service and connected device benefits. Failure to provide consent will result in your being denied the ACP benefits.

If you or any member of your family unit receives ACP service benefits from any other broadband provider, you consent to have your benefit transferred to Easy Wireless when you apply for and enroll in ACP services with Easy Wireless.  The effect of an ACP benefit transfer is that your ACP benefit will be applied to Easy Wireless’s ACP service and will no longer be applied to service from your former ACP service provider. You may be subject to your former ACP provider’s undiscounted rates as a result of the transfer if you elect to maintain service from that provider.  ACP rules limit you to one ACP benefit transfer transaction per service month, with limited exceptions for situations where a subscriber seeks to reverse an unauthorized benefit transfer or is unable to receive service from a specific provider.  

You agree that any state, local, Tribal government, school, or school district may share information about your receipt of benefits that would establish eligibility for the ACP and that such information will be used only to determine ACP eligibility.

You agree that Easy Wireless and its contracted partners may contact you to validate your eligibility for or desire to participate in Easy Wireless’s ACP offers and other products and services via email, telephone, or text messaging. Text messaging and data rates may apply. Consent for calls and texts is optional and can be revoked at any time.

13. ACP Service Plans

You can apply your ACP discount to any available Easy Wireless service plan, including those that can be obtained with no co-pay after application of the ACP benefit. Service plans are posted on Easy Wireless’s website at https://easy.telcoprovider.com/. Your service plan terms and conditions may limit the amount of high-speed data included with your service plan and the actual speeds you will achieve while using our broadband services. Other factors, including your device, network availability from our underlying carrier, your proximity to cellular towers, and environmental factors may affect speeds. For additional information about broadband speeds, visit https://myeasywireless.com/broadband-transparency-disclosure/.

14. ACP and Lifeline Are Separate Programs

Customers may have one ACP and one Lifeline benefit per household. Your Lifeline benefit and ACP benefit can be combined and applied to the same service plan or applied to different service plans. In California, your ACP benefit cannot be applied to a plan on which you receive California Lifeline discounts.  You are not required to opt-in to the ACP, and you can continue to receive your Lifeline service without enrolling in the ACP. You may choose to take ACP benefits from a service provider other than your existing Lifeline provider. If you would like to have your ACP plan on a separate device with a different phone number, please call Customer Care at 1-877-476-3451 or by dialing 611 from your Easy Wireless phone.

15. ACP Account Activation and Activity Requirements

You must activate your service by placing an outbound call or sending a text (if your device is capable), using data, confirming that you want to activate your service will activate the Easy Wireless ACP service, or by other means we communicate to you. To continue receiving your ACP service with Easy Wireless, you must make or answer a voice call or send a text message (if your device is capable), use data, purchase minutes, or respond to direct contact from Easy Wireless at least once during any 30-day period.

16. Maintaining ACP Eligibility and Service

You will receive ACP service from Easy Wireless if you continually meet the ACP eligibility requirements and the program remains active. If Easy Wireless believes you are not eligible for ACP service, we will notify you that your ACP service will be cancelled and that you will be de-enrolled from the program. You will have 30 days to respond to the termination notice. If you do not demonstrate continued eligibility, you will be de-enrolled from the ACP and your service will be cancelled, you will lose any remaining services and will no longer receive service. If you no longer qualify for the ACP discount, you must notify Easy Wireless within thirty (30) days of this fact to be removed from the program.

17. ACP Discontinuance

If the FCC announces that funding for the ACP has been exhausted, we discontinue our ACP service offers, or we determine you are no longer eligible for the ACP, we will notify you and you will revert to our standard FREE Lifeline plan where available and if you are eligible. You also may choose to keep your service plan or choose another plan available at the time, but you will be subject to paying applicable rates applicable plus applicable fees and taxes. Our standard terms and conditions will apply.

18. ACCOUNT ACTIVITY REQUIREMENT

To continue receiving your Lifeline and/or ACP service with Easy Wireless, FCC regulations require that, unless a subscriber has a regular billing and payment relationship with us, the subscriber must use the service at least once 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 Easy Wireless to add to the subscriber’s service plan; (3) answering an incoming call from a party other than Easy Wireless; or (4) responding to direct contact from Easy Wireless and confirming that the subscriber wants to continue receiving the Lifeline service. At or before 30 days of non-use, subscribers will receive notice that failure to use the services within a 15-day notice period will result in de-enrollment. If a subscriber does not respond to the notice or use the service before the end of the 15-day notice period, Easy Wireless is required to and will de-enroll the subscriber from services. The subscriber still will be able to use the device associated with the services to contact 911 emergency services, provided it is charged and able to connect to a wireless network.

19. ACTIVATING AND USING YOUR EASY WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE/TELEPHONE NUMBER

An Easy Wireless Device should arrive to you in a pre-activated or “hotlined” status.  Activation may require a call to 611 to complete full activation.  An Easy Wireless telephone number is assigned to your Easy Wireless Device when you receive it, however, you will acquire no proprietary interest in any number assigned to you.  This number is “owned” by the underlying carrier and ownership will remain with the underlying carrier during time of Service.  This number can be ported to any carrier of choice as long as number remains active throughout the completion of the port.  Should the telephone number be disconnected for any reason it is immediately released to the underlying carrier network and is unable to be re-attained by Easy Wireless, even upon your request and immediate reactivation by the company. The wireless telecommunications networks used to transmit calls for the Service are owned and operated by various licensed commercial mobile radio service providers (“underlying carriers”), not Easy Wireless. Your Device can only be used through Easy Wireless, and cannot be activated with any other wireless or cellular service, except where allowable by law. Easy Wireless Services are provided at Easy Wireless’ discretion.  You may port your existing telephone number to Easy Wireless’ carrier network.  Easy Wireless is not responsible for any “termination fees” that may be imposed by another carrier that ports its number to the Easy Wireless platform.

20. INTERNATIONAL CALLS

Currently, the International call feature is blocked by Easy Wireless and its underlying carrier. In the event you successfully access an International Long Distance number, additional charges will incur on your account. International calling rates vary by country. You may call 611 if you have a specific inquiry and speak with a customer service representative. 

Any charges you incur as a result of attempts to access this feature from an Easy Wireless Device is non-refundable.  Voice minute deductions for international calls begin the moment the International Long Distance (“ILD”) access number is dialed and may apply to dropped calls, misdialed numbers and busy destination numbers. When making international calls, you may experience connection failures more frequently than calls made within the United States. Easy Wireless will not credit voice minutes deducted for unsuccessful calls. You will not be able to make or receive calls on your Easy Wireless Device when you are located outside of the United States, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands.

21. EASY WIRELESS SERVICE AND USAGE

Voice and Text Usage Charges.    Voice minutes will be deducted for all time during which your Easy Wireless Service is connected to, or using, the wireless system of any underlying carrier.  Use of a wireless system typically begins when you press the “send”, “call” or other button to initiate or answer a call and does not end until you press the “end” button or the call is otherwise terminated.  Voice minutes are deducted for all incoming and outgoing calls, including calls to toll free numbers, and calls to access your voice mail (voice minutes will be deducted for each call separately).  Voice minutes for Three-Way calls may be deducted at twice the incremental rate.  Voice minutes are NOT deducted for calls to 911, 611, or the 800# for Easy Wireless Customer Service.  For outbound calls, you may be charged voice minutes for incomplete and/or busy-no answer calls. (Although this is unlikely to occur, Easy Wireless is not able to dispute these charges and cannot refund for deducted minutes on an incomplete or busy no-answer call.)  Voice minutes are deducted in full unit increments; partial minutes are rounded up to the next minute.   No credit is given for dropped calls. Except where otherwise noted (e.g., text messages to and from Easy Wireless or unlimited plans), text messages will be billed for each incoming and outgoing text message. If you subscribe to a plan that includes federal Lifeline-supported voice service, incoming and outgoing text messages will not be billed against your voice minutes.

Calls to 900/976 or other pay-per-call Service numbers are not available to Easy Wireless subscribers. Easy Wireless will block any calls to 1-900, 1-976, some international calling, or other pay-per-call Services.  However, if any charges are received by Easy Wireless from the underlying carrier for these types of calls, these charges will be passed thru to the end user for payment. Non-payment of these charges, when billed to you, will constitute automatic disconnection of Service.

Calls placed to 800/866/877 or other toll-free numbers will incur standard minute usage of a 1:1 ratio.  Easy Wireless allows you to make or receive domestic long distance calls inside the domestic USA as long as coverage is available. Easy Wireless does not allow free calls to other subscribers using Easy Wireless Service. Easy Wireless Devices do not provide rate information of Service used to make or receive voice calls or messages. Easy Wireless does not offer free nights and weekends or free mobile-to-mobile Service. 

Data Usage.  Call data transport is billed in full­kilobyte increments, and actual transport is rounded up to the next full kilobyte increment at the end of each data session for charging purposes. Easy Wireless charges a full kilobyte of data transport for every fraction of the last kilobyte of data transport used on each data session. Network overhead, software update requests, and re­send requests caused by network errors can increase measured kilobytes. DATA TRANSPORT/USAGE OCCURS WHENEVER YOUR DEVICE IS CONNECTED TO OUR NETWORK AND IS ENGAGED IN ANY DATA TRANSMISSION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (i) SENDING OR RECEIVING EMAIL, DOCUMENTS, OR OTHER CONTENT, (ii) ACCESSING WEBSITES, OR (iii) DOWNLOADING AND USING APPLICATIONS. SOME APPLICATIONS, CONTENT, PROGRAMS, AND SOFTWARE THAT YOU DOWNLOAD OR THAT COMES PRE-LOADED ON YOUR DEVICE AUTOMATICALLY AND REGULARLY SEND AND RECEIVE DATA TRANSMISSIONS IN ORDER TO FUNCTION PROPERLY, WITHOUT YOU AFFIRMATIVELY INITIATING THE REQUEST AND WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE. FOR EXAMPLE, APPLICATIONS THAT PROVIDE REAL-TIME INFORMATION AND LOCATION-BASED APPLICATIONS CONNECT TO OUR NETWORK, AND 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, AS WELL AS ANY MESSAGES OR CONTENT THAT INITIATE IN RESPONSE TO AN ADVERTISEMENT, WILL COUNT TOWARD YOUR DATA USAGE. YOU WILL BE BILLED FOR ALL DATA TRANSPORT AND USAGE WHEN YOUR DEVICE IS CONNECTED TO OUR NETWORK, INCLUDING THAT WHICH YOU AFFIRMATIVELY INITIATE OR THAT WHICH RUNS AUTOMATICALLY IN THE BACKGROUND WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE, AND WHETHER SUCCESSFUL OR NOT. A DATA SESSION INITIATED ON THE UNDERLYING CARRIER NETWORK WILL CONTINUE ITS CONNECTION OVER THE UNDERLYING CARRIER NETWORK UNTIL THE DATA TRANSMISSION IS CONCLUDED, EVEN WHEN YOU CONNECT TO A WI-FI NETWORK DURING THE TRANSMISSION.

Easy Wireless Service is provided at the company’s discretion. Easy Wireless may change pricing or the company’s Terms and Conditions of Service, from time to time, without notice, unless expressly prohibited by law.   Easy Wireless will notify you of changes to the Terms and Conditions of Service that are determined to be materially adverse to your Service 30 days in advance of the change. Any changes or modifications to these Terms and Conditions of Service will be binding upon you once they are available on the Easy Wireless website found at www.MyEasyWireless.com. If you do not terminate Service within 30 days of receiving this notice of a change in the Terms and Conditions of Service, you agree to accept any such changes.  Your right to use Easy Wireless Service is subject to the Company’s business practices, policies, procedures, rates, and Terms and Conditions of Service.  Easy Wireless reserves the right to modify or cancel your Service, an account, or take corrective action at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, violation of any provision of these Terms and Conditions of Service.

DATA SPEEDS ARE NOT GUARANTEED. Easy Wireless does not guarantee the speeds of the data service it provides. Data speeds are dependent on many factors, including reception, tower traffic, your device’s capabilities, and other factors. Easy Wireless reserves the right to prioritize your data behind other Easy Wireless customers during periods of network congestion or high individual daily usage by throttling your data speed. Reduced speeds and increased latency may cause web sites to load more slowly or affect the performance of data-heavy activities such as video streaming or interactive gaming. Additional scenarios that vary data speeds and performance may exist in accordance with T-Mobile’s network management practices. 

Throttling: Easy Wireless may offer plans with data at a 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 your 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, the included allotment of which will be available until used or for 30 days from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. Customers may notice changes in the performance of certain applications when they 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 WiFi whenever possible; (2) Download music to the device for offline use and avoid music streaming services like Pandora when not on WiFi; (3) Only stream video like YouTube and Netflix when on WiFi. Otherwise, you can download the video to your device while on WiFi for later offline viewing.  

22. VOICE AND TEXT PERMISSIBLE USAGE

Easy Wireless voice and text Services, including unlimited voice and/or text messaging plans, are solely for live dialogue between, and initiated by, two individuals for personal use only and may not be used for any other purposes, including, but not limited to: machine-to-machine, monitoring Services, transmission of broadcasts or recorded material, telemarketing, call center Services, autodialed calls or texts, other commercial uses, or other connections that do not consist of uninterrupted live dialogue between individuals. These and other uses have the potential to disrupt reliable Service to other customers and/or have a disproportionate impact on network resources, and therefore are not permitted. We may determine at our sole discretion that non-permissible usage is taking place and reserve the right to respond by, without notice or limitation, implementing limits, adding voice or text monthly usage caps, placing you on a limited plan, or, at our sole discretion, terminating your Service.

23. DATA PERMISSIBLE USES

Easy’s data or messaging features are provided solely for purposes of non-commercial messaging, Internet browsing, e-mail access, and the non-continuous streaming of data (e.g. downloading files). Depending on your rate plan, your usage of data may be metered by Easy. Smaller data plans are available. While most common uses are permitted by our data and messaging features, there are certain uses that cause extreme network capacity issues and are therefore prohibited. Our data and messaging Services may not be used: (a) to generate excessive amounts of Internet traffic through the continuous, unattended streaming, downloading, or uploading of videos or other files, (b) to operate hosting Services including but not limited to, web or game hosting, (c) to maintain continuous active network connections to the Internet such as through a web camera or automated machine-to-machine connection or peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, (d) to disrupt e-mail use by others using automated or manual routines, including, but not limited to “auto-responders” or cancel bots or other similar routines, (e) to transmit or facilitate any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, telemarketing, promotional materials, “spam,” “junk mail,” unsolicited commercial or bulk e-mail or messaging, (f) for activities adversely affecting the ability of other people or systems to use either Easy’s wireless Services or other parties’ Internet-based resources, including, but not limited to, “denial of Service” (DoS) attacks against another network host or individual user, (g) for an activity that tethers or connects any device to personal computers or other equipment for the purpose of transmitting wireless data over the network (unless you are using a plan designated for such usage), (h) as a dedicated data connection, (i) for abnormally long data transmissions, or (j) for any other reason that, in our sole discretion, violates our policy of providing “unlimited” Services for non-commercial use.

24. ROLLOVER & FLEX CALLING OPTIONS

Easy Wireless may provide a plan with Rollover. Any monthly minute or text packages with rollover will rollover unused minutes and text month to month for ninety (90) days. Minutes and text will expire on the ninety-first (91st) day.  Minutes, texts, and data purchased as a top-up will be good for thirty (30) days from the date of purchase, expiring on the 31st day.  Top-up minutes, texts, or data purchased, with a thirty (30) day expiration, will be used before any rollover minutes are used, so that minutes that will expire first are used first.  Rollover policy is subject to change.  Unlimited minute and/or unlimited text plans will not rollover. Not all plans include rollover minutes for voice and text.  

Easy Wireless may provide a plan with Flex Calling as an additional feature on its plans.  If a call causes you to go beyond your monthly allotment of minutes, rather than have that call terminated mid conversation, Flex Calling allows you to complete your last call of the month.  The extra minutes used on that call will then be debited automatically from your next month allotment of minutes. If you add Top Up minutes to your account while an overage is in effect, the negative balance will be deducted from the Top Up purchase instead. Data is rated in near-real-time and is not included in the flex feature. Flex calling policy is subject to change.      

Easy Wireless’s plans and top-ups are available on its website, www.myeasywireless.com.

25. ACCOUNT BALANCES

Your Easy Wireless Device will only operate when you have minutes, texts or broadband data available on the Device. (This does not apply to 911 calls. These calls will go through on any Device regardless of activity and the availability of voice minutes.)  Each prepaid Service package comes with a number of minutes, texts and/or data and a Service period that begins to run from the day you add minutes, texts and/or data to your Device.  Easy Wireless minutes, texts or broadband data added to your Device will expire with active Service and Usage during a consecutive thirty (30) day period.   To keep your account active and to avoid Service interruption, 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.

Prepaid Reserve Program: Easy Wireless customers can prepay an amount of their choosing to be held on their Easy Wireless account in “reserve.” If a customer does not make a payment for his or her plan in a particular month, Easy will apply the prepaid reserve to the unpaid bill (up to the full amount of the bill, or the full amount of the prepaid reserve, whichever is lesser). Upon termination of a customer’s account, Easy will apply any remaining prepaid reserve amount to any remaining balance the customer owes to Easy Wireless, or if there is no remaining balance on the customer’s account, Easy Wireless will refund any remaining prepaid reserve amount to the customer. Easy Wireless also will refund any remaining prepaid reserve to the customer at any time, upon request. Customers that participate in the Prepaid Reserve Program may qualify for certain promotional offerings from Easy Wireless, and requesting a refund may result in forfeiture of the promotion. Additional details about Easy Wireless’s refund policy can be found in the REFUNDS section of these Terms and Conditions.

26. BILLING & COLLECTION

You are responsible for paying all charges for or resulting from Services provided under this Agreement, less any subsidies you are eligible. Charges may include, without limitation: voice minutes, data usage, roaming, recurring monthly Service, activation, administrative, returned­check and late payment charges; network and other surcharges; optional feature charges; directory assistance charges; any other charges or calls charged to your phone number; and applicable taxes, surcharges and governmental fees, whether assessed directly upon you or upon Easy Wireless. Easy Wireless may add its own charges to those charged by third parties. Payment for all charges is made in advance and there is no proration of such charges.

Easy Wireless will send an invoice via text message to you monthly notifying you of the amount due, including the amount past due, and the due date.

If you do not pay for your monthly Service, and you are a non-Lifeline customer, Easy Wireless will not renew your minutes on the next month’s plan.  In order to receive your next month of Service, you must pay for the Service in advance.

In all states, if you are a Lifeline customer, you will have the option to set up automated monthly payments by providing a credit or debit card, which Easy Wireless will use to debit the amount owed on your account each month as long as your Service remains active.  You may also opt to deposit payment for Service for one or more month(s) in advance.  The advance deposit will be applied to your Lifeline account on a monthly basis.  Should you choose to no longer avail yourself of this option or to terminate your Service with Easy Wireless, you will receive a refund of any unused advance deposit payments upon occurrence of that event.  

If you are a Lifeline customer, you also will have the $9.25 Lifeline reimbursement applied to your Service.  (Up to $25 dollars more may be applied if you are also a resident of Tribal lands.)  The remaining amount due will depend on your plan choice. While you will not be disconnected for non-payment, you are required to pay your balance in full each month. If you are paying for a higher priced plan and you do not pay your bill in full, you will be moved to the lowest priced plan.  You cannot be reinstated on the higher priced plan without paying your previous balance in full. You are also required to pay your balance in full before any top-ups can be added to your account.

If you are disconnected from Easy Wireless’ platform owing a balance, that balance will be written off as uncollected funds. Easy Wireless will not continue to seek payment on the balance.  If you would like to return to Easy Wireless, a new account will be created. For Lifeline customers, this would mean showing proof of eligibility for Lifeline Service.

45. OUR RIGHT TO TERMINATE LIFELINE SERVICE

Easy Wireless reserves the right to suspend, hotline, cancel, or terminate your Service – without notice –or account for any fraud-related reason, or upon request of any state or federal authority. Services will be terminated if it is determined that eligibility was awarded based off of inaccurate or fraudulent information, if you are non-responsive to requests for information, including requests for proof of eligibility, or if company determines a need to eliminate possible fraud/waste/and abuse of the Lifeline program. If you are a Lifeline customer, Easy Wireless must terminate your Service, upon notice to you, or move you to a non-Lifeline plan, if the company has a reasonable belief that you no longer qualify for Lifeline Service, if you fail to timely recertify or if you fail to use your Device for 30 consecutive days. Easy may terminate this Agreement at any time without notice if we cease to provide Service in your area. To maintain your Lifeline Service, you must use your Service every 30 days (unless you have a regular billing and payment relationship with us). At or before 30 days of non¬use, Easy Wireless will provide notice to you that failure to use the Lifeline Services within a 15¬-day notice period will result in de¬enrollment. You can “use” the Services by: (1) completing an outbound call or using data; (2) purchasing minutes or data from Easy Wireless to add to your plan; (3) answering an incoming call from a party other than Easy Wireless; (4) responding to direct contact from Easy Wireless and confirming that you want to continue receiving the Service; or (5) sending a text message. If you do not respond to the notice, you will be de¬enrolled. This usage policy applies only to customers who do not have a regular billing relationship with us. USAC audits that identify Service duplication in households will result in disconnection of the duplicated Service.  While, Easy will make every effort to contact you prior to interruption of Service, Easy Wireless reserves the right to disconnect your Service in its entirety. 

46. CUSTOMER INITIATED TERMINATION OF LIFELINE SERVICE

If you choose to terminate from the Lifeline program, you may notify Easy Wireless through a phone call to Customer Service, respond to a text to the company, or through notice in writing sent to the company address below.  Easy Wireless is required to disconnect Service upon request within 5 business days.  Upon termination of Lifeline Services, you will no longer receive discounted telephone Service, and will be required to re-enroll in Lifeline by showing proof of subsidy and filling out a new Self-Certification Lifeline Form.  Even though your service is terminated, your Lifeline benefit will still remain with Easy under a Port Freeze throughout a 12 month term from the date of enrollment with Easy Wireless. Filling out a new self-certification form and showing continued eligibility in a Lifeline qualifying program or showing proof of low income will restore your service with Easy Wireless so that you may continue to receive the Lifeline benefit. In certain situations, you may move your Lifeline benefit to another provider if you meet the qualifications outlined by the FCC.

48. DEVICE HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC) 

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings to assist hearing device users in finding wireless devices that may be compatible with your hearing devices. Not all wireless devices have been rated. Wireless devices that are rated will have the rating displayed on their box together with other relevant approval markings.

These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on your hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference you may not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully.  If a specific HAC device is needed due to your particular hearing device or hearing loss, that device can be requested from the company by contacting our Customer Service department at 877-476-3451 or by requesting the RMA department once a rep comes on the line.  

M-Ratings: Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than wireless devices that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

T-Ratings: Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated wireless devices. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them).

When a wireless device is used near a hearing device, such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, you may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference, and wireless devices also vary in the amount of interference they generate.

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless devices. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.  An arbitrator, however, can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief, or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms and Conditions.  

The term “Dispute” shall include any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Easy Wireless regarding or relating to any aspect of your relationship with Easy Wireless, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, or any other intentional tort), or any other legal or equitable theory.  The term “Dispute” also includes, but is not limited to, any and all claims between you and Easy Wireless in any way related to or concerning this Agreement, Easy Wireless’s services, products, any billing disputes or disputes involving or relating to telephone calls or other communications that you claim were received by you from Easy Wireless and/or a party acting on Easy Wireless’s behalf.  The term “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced.  As used in this Section, “Easy Wireless” means Easy Wireless and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents.  

2. Dispute Notice

Before initiating an arbitration, you and Easy 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 Easy Wireless, Attn: Compliance Department, P.O. Box 831478, Ocala, FL 34483-1478 (the “Notice Address”), (2) emailed at Compliance@MyEasyWireless.com, or (3) brought to the attention to Easy Wireless Customer Service at 877-476-3451.  Easy Wireless will provide a Notice of Dispute to you via mailing address or email address associated with your Easy Wireless account. 

You and Easy 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 Easy Wireless may commence an arbitration proceeding.  

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 July 1, 2014 (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 Ocala, Florida.  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 Easy Wireless agree in writing, or to an arbitrator appointed pursuant to Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act.  9 U.S.C. §1-16.   

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 EASY WIRELESS 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 http://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 Easy 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 Easy Wireless.  Service of the Demand for Arbitration on Easy Wireless can be mailed to Easy Wireless, Attn: Compliance Department, P.O.

5. Arbitrator Selection

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

6. 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.  

Neither you nor Easy Wireless shall disclose the existence, contents, or results of any arbitration except to the extent required by law.

7. Fees 

In the event you commence arbitration, after Easy Wireless receives notice that you have initiated arbitration, Easy Wireless will reimburse you upon request for your payment of the filing fee and Easy Wireless will pay the JAMS any case management fees associated with the arbitration and the professional fees for the arbitrator’s services. 

8. CHOICE OF LAW & JURISDICTION
