1. SERVICE PLANS AND “TOP UP” PLANS

1.1. Service Plans
Except as otherwise described in this Agreement, you must be enrolled in a Service Plan to utilize our Services. Wireless Service Plan descriptions, including rates and associated talk, text, and data allotments (collectively, “Allotments”), are available on the Surf Telecom website at www.surfusamobile.com. Service Plan availability, rates, and Allotments may vary by state and are subject to change at any time. You may not be eligible for certain Service Plans or rates. Service Plans that include allocations of voice minutes include caller ID, voicemail, call waiting, and 3-way calling. Service Plans are non-refundable, cannot be transferred to any third party (including another Surf Telecom account or customer), and may not be exchanged or resold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Surf Telecom may, from time to time, provide refunds in its sole discretion. New subscribers select a Service Plan upon enrollment and existing subscribers can contact Customer Service to change their Service Plan by dialing 611 from their Surf Telecom Device or calling toll-free at 1-866-822-SURF. Service Plan changes are usually effective at the start of the next monthly service renewal date.



1.2. “Top up” Plans
Surf Telecom wireless subscribers can purchase “Top up” Plans to receive allotments talk, text, and data by visiting the website, calling Surf Telecom Customer Services by calling toll-free 1-866-822-SURF, calling 786-658-1400 through WhatsApp, or dialing 611 from your Surf Telecom wireless Device. “Top up” Plans, including rates and associated talk, text, and data allotments, are available on the Surf Telecom website at www.surfusamobile.com. “Top up” Plan availability, rates, and Allotments may vary by state and are subject to change at any time. “Top up” Plans are non-refundable, cannot be transferred to any third party (including another Surf Telecom account or customer), and may not be exchanged or resold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Surf Telecom may, from time to time, provide refunds in its sole discretion.

1.3. Talk, Text, and Data Allotments
Talk, text, and data allotments have no cash value, are non-refundable, cannot be transferred to any third party (including another Surf Telecom account or customer), and may not be exchanged, resold, redeemed, or substituted for cash, merchandise, or services. If you terminate your service, you will forfeit and are not entitled to a full or partial refund for any unused Allotments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Surf Telecom may, from time to time, provide refunds in its sole discretion. If you use your full talk, text, or data allotment before the start of a new monthly cycle, the Service associated that allotment with be suspended for the remainder of the monthly cycle, except that you will be able to continue contacting emergency services by dialing 911 and Surf Telecom Customer Services by dialing 1-866-822-SURF or 611. Suspensions may occur while you are engaged in calls, text communications, or data usage, in which case, Surf Telecom is not responsible for any costs, losses, or damages caused by such interruptions, including to reestablish communications. You may check your Allotment balances at any time free of charge by dialing 611 from your Surf Telecom Device or calling 1-866-822-SURF. You are responsible for all usage of Allotments regardless of who uses or possesses your Device and regardless of whether the Device is used with your consent or knowledge. Unused Service Plan Allotments, including Top Up Allotments, expire on the last day of your monthly cycle and will not carry over to the next monthly cycle unless specifically provided for by the Service Plan.

1.4. Use of Voice Allotments
All incoming and outgoing voice calls on your Device, regardless of whether the call is on the network of our Underlying Carrier or roaming, use talk minute allotments, including calls to toll-free numbers but excluding 911 emergency calls, Surf Telecom Customer Service Calls to 611 and 1-866-822-SURF, and other calls specified herein. Call time is measured in one-minute increments, with a minimum time per call of one (1) minute. Partial minutes of use are rounded up to the next full minute at the end of each call. Surf Telecom does not allow free calls to other Surf Telecom subscribers. Outgoing calls begin the moment you initiate a call and incoming calls begin the moment the signal connection from the caller is established with our facilities. Calls end after you or the other party terminates the call, but not until we receive a signal that the call has disconnected. Call length information displayed on your Device may not be accurate for calculating use of voice allotments. For simultaneous calls (incoming call waiting calls and 3-ways calls), talk minutes may be deducted for each call. Call time may include ring time, incomplete calls, unanswered calls, busy signal calls, voicemail deposit and retrieval time, and time to process call transfers. Calls that begin during one monthly cycle and end in another monthly cycle are generally deducted from talk allotments from the starting monthly cycle. No credit or refund is given for dropped calls.

2. CHARGES AND PAYMENTS

2.1. Charges, Fees, and Taxes
You are responsible for paying all one-time and recurring charges that result from your commercial relationship with Surf Telecom and from the use of our Services, whether accrued by you or by another person using your Device or Services, including, but not limited to: (i) one time or recurring Service Plan charges; (ii) Device purchase, upgrade, and replacement charges; (iii) activation, reconnection, prepayment, and other administrative or customer service charges or fees; (iv) returned and late payment charges or fees; (v) roaming, network, and other surcharges; (vi) optional feature charges, such as operator and directory assistance, toll and collect calls, voicemail, and call forwarding, if applicable; (vii) Top Up Plan charges; and (viii) all required or applicable federal, state, and local taxes, surcharges, fees, and any other regulatory or governmental assessments, whether assessed directly upon you or upon Surf Telecom and billed to you for cost recovery. We do not assess early termination fees. Taxes, fees, and surcharges may vary depending on the billing address associated with your account and may vary from month-to-month based on our or the government’s calculations. We may, but are not obligated to, provide notice of such variances. Advertised rates may not include federal, state, and local taxes, fees, surcharges, and other assessments.

2.2. Billing and Payment
You may access your monthly invoice on our website or through the Surf Telecom app on your Device. You will receive your bill electronically on a monthly basis. You must prepay the balance due before receiving the allotment specified in your service plan. If you do not prepay, we may suspend your service.

You are responsible for reviewing your bills to ensure that all charges are accurate. Surf Telecom bills will distinguish (a) charges collected and retained by the carrier, including charges for Service Plans, “Top up” Plans, and features, from (b) taxes, surcharges, fees, and any other regulatory or governmental assessments collected by us and remitted to federal, state, or local governments. Cost recovery fees and charges will not be labeled as taxes. You agree to pay for all prepaid charges immediately when billed and all postpaid charges on or before your payment due date or monthly expiration date using a credit or debit card or other valid payment method. You must promptly notify us of any change in your billing address or payment method.
For prepayments: If we attempt to charge your credit card or any other payment account for a charge and the credit card company or other financial institution withholds or declines such payment because there is an insufficient balance or the charge has been disputed (a “Chargeback”), we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to our service until the payment is processed or the Chargeback is reversed.
For postpaid plans (if available): We also reserve the right to suspend your access to our service until the payment is processed or the Chargeback is reversed. Furthermore, if the non-payment or Chargeback is not resolved and reversed, your account may be deactivated after a 30-day period and Surf Telecom may assess you a termination charge equal to the balance in your account or the highest amount permitted by law. We may also charge the highest amount allowed under applicable law, when your payments are not made on or before your scheduled payment date.
By providing payment information and accepting this agreement, you authorize us or our payment service provider to charge your payment method in advance for prepaid payments to ensure that payments are received by any due date. You may cancel the automatic renewal of your Service Plan at any time. We will not, except in our sole discretion, refund, prorate, or credit any charges, fees, or taxes, including if you modify or terminate your service before or have remaining Allotments at the end of your monthly cycle. If you wish to dispute a charge, you must do so in accordance with the dispute resolution process described in Section 7.

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

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

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

3. SERVICE FEATURES, LIMITATIONS, AND NOTICES

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

3.2. International Calling and Messaging
Surf Telecom’s wireless talk and text allotments can be used for domestic calls and text messages. International calls and text messages may be included with our Service Plans or “Top up” Plans.

3.3. Wireless Coverage
The availability of Surf Telecom’s wireless Services is subject to the geographic coverage area of our Underlying Carrier and its roaming partners. Only domestic U.S. coverage is available; we do not offer international coverage. Coverage is not available everywhere in the domestic U.S., and you will not have access to our Services outside the coverage area. A coverage map reflecting the approximate geographic coverage area of our Underlying Carrier and its roaming partners can be accessed from our website, at www.surfusamobile.com, or through your Device. Areas without coverage are shown as gaps. Coverage maps are generated using generally accepted methodologies and standards but are only approximations of actual coverage. There may be locations within the estimated coverage area where actual coverage is limited and you may experience interruptions or reductions in Service quality, including due to interference from buildings and other structures, terrain, and foliage. Additionally, actual coverage at any given time may vary by Service and be affected by factors beyond our control, as described in Section 3.4. Coverage maps and any statements by us, our agents, or dealers about coverage are only intended to provide high-level estimates of our coverage area when you are using our Services outdoors under optimal conditions and do not mean that service will be available under all circumstances, at all times, or without interruption. Surf Telecom does not guarantee or warrant the coverage of the network of our Underlying Carrier or its roaming partners. Where there is no coverage, 911 calls may not reach public safety answering points. In such instances, subscribers should dial 911 from the nearest landline phone. Coverage maps may be updated periodically and without notice to reflect the current operations of our Underlying Carrier and its roaming partners.

3.4. Service Availability and Quality
In addition to factors that affect coverage, Service availability and quality may be subject to “Service Limitations,” which may depend on whether you are using wireless or landline Services. These include interruptions, delays, or reductions, due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: weather and atmospheric conditions; obstructions; electromagnetic interference; use of the Services inside a building or moving vehicle; your geographic location relative to our coverage area; your proximity to wireless cell sites; the capacity of a cell site; the number of other customers connected to the same cell site; other network capacity limitations and congestion; the capabilities and compatibility of your Device; network outages or issues on the network of our Underlying Carrier or interconnecting carriers; and priority access by National Security and Emergency Preparedness personnel in the event of a disaster or emergency. Additional factors that may affect our Services are described in our Broadband Transparency Policy, available at www.surfusamobile.com. Once identified, Surf Telecom takes reasonable steps to attempt to remedy Service Limitations that are within its control. Service Limitations may also occur as a result of network maintenance, including equipment modifications, upgrades, relocations, repairs, or similar activities necessary or proper for network operation or improvement imposed by Surf Telecom, its Underlying Carrier, or interconnecting carries. Surf Telecom will use reasonable efforts to notify you prior to the performance of such maintenance and will attempt to schedule its maintenance during non-peak hours. Service Limitations may result in dropped or blocked calls, inability to make or receive calls, inability to send or receive text messages, or inability to access the Internet and other data services. You acknowledge that the Services are provided through the nationwide wireless network of the underlying carrier of our choosing and may be subject to the service availability and quality of our Underlying Carrier. We do not guarantee or warrant the availability or quality of the Services at any given time or geographic location, we are not liable for Service Limitations, and you are not guaranteed compensation or reimbursement for Service Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your Services experiences Service Limitations for 24 or more continuous hours by a cause within our control, and you notify Surf Telecom at 1-866-822-SURF within seven (7) days of the Service Issue, we may, in our sole discretion and on a case-by-case basis, issue you a credit.

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

  1. a) discontinuing, blocking, or terminating certain categories of Services;
  2. b) restricting, reducing, or limiting the amount of usage of the Services;
  3. c) limiting data throughput speeds or quantities;
  4. d) reducing the size of data transfers;
  5. e) limiting, disabling, or preventing access to particular features;
  6. f) blocking, limiting, or disconnecting access to individual phone numbers or certain categories of phone numbers (e.g., 976, 900), countries, destinations, or providers;
  7. g) limiting the provision of Services at certain times or in certain areas, including due to changes in coverage of our Underlying Carrier or changes in roaming agreements;
  8. h) filtering or blocking certain calls, texts, and data transmissions sent through the network, including spam, unlawful and unwanted telemarketing calls and messages, and malware (we do not guarantee that you will not receive and we are not liable for such calls, text, or transmissions; if you are receiving unwanted telemarketing messages, contact the source and unsubscribe or remove your mobile phone number from the service);
  9. i) blocking calls to you at your request or to other called parties at their request;
  10. j) blocking or otherwise preventing access to third party services or other premium services, features, or content that would generate additional fees or charges billed to Surf Telecom, either directly or through your account as a result of your use of or access to the service, feature, or content;
  11. k) blocking hacking and other attempts for unauthorized access; and
  12. l) blocking or terminating usage that is indicative of uses prohibited by the Acceptable Use Policy (Section 6), including uses that result in abnormally long calls, high costs, or high usage.

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

3.6. Wireless Device Location Information
Your wireless Device may be location enabled, which means the location of your Device can be determined by using Global Positioning Satellite (“GPS”), wireless network location information, or other location technology when your Device is turned on. Your location information may be used by us, our Underlying Carrier, or third-party services, as described in our Privacy Policy, available at www.surfusamobile.com. Additionally, your location information may be used by 911 and other emergency services, as described in Section 3.7. Your location information may be unavailable if your Device is unable to acquire satellite signals and network coverage, which may prevent you, us, and other services from accessing your location. Satellite signals and network coverage may be unavailable due to a variety of factors beyond our control, as described in Sections 3.3 and 3.4. We do not warrant or guarantee that location-based services will be available at any specific time or geographic location. You may be able to configure the settings on your Device or in third-party services to restrict or disable the sharing of your location information. It is your responsibility to notify individuals who may use your Device that it may be location enabled.

3.7. 911 and Other Emergency Services
Your Device’s location information may be used to assist emergency services in finding you, but you should always be prepared to provide both your location information and phone number when contacting 911 or other emergency services. Wireless devices may not always be able to provide 911 dispatchers with your exact location or other information when you make an emergency call. Even when location information is transmitted from your wireless Device to a dispatcher, the information may not be accurate. If you attempt to make an emergency call from your wireless Device in an area where there is no wireless coverage, your call may not go through, in which case, you should try calling again from the nearest landline phone. Surf Telecom does not guarantee that your location information will be transmitted to emergency dispatchers or that any location information that is transmitted will be accurate. Nor does Surf Telecom guarantee that you will be able to contact emergency services in areas where there is limited or no wireless coverage.

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

3.9. Phone Numbers and Porting
You must accept the phone number we assign to you at the time you subscribe to Surf Telecom’s Services. We reserve the right to change your mobile phone number at any time, but we will attempt to notify you prior to any such change. You can switch your number to another Surf Telecom Device at no additional charge. Except for any legal right you may have to transfer (“port”) your phone number to or from another carrier, you have no and cannot gain any proprietary ownership or other rights to any phone number we assign to you, your Device, or your account. We do not guarantee that numbers ported to or from Surf Telecom will be successful. To request to port a phone number to or from Surf Telecom, please contact Surf Telecom Customer Service by dialing 611 from your Surf Telecom Device or calling toll-free at 1-866-822-SURF. Before you call to port a number to Surf Telecom, please have a bill from your existing wireless or wireline provider available. When you port a number to Surf Telecom from another carrier, you are solely responsible for all charges billed or incurred prior to deactivation of service with your prior carrier and for any applicable early termination fees assessed by your prior carrier; Surf Telecom will not reimburse you for these charges. Due to compatibility issues, you may be required to purchase or obtain a new Device to use our Services after you port a number to Surf Telecom, and you may be without Services until the new Device is configured. If you authorize another carrier to port a number from Surf Telecom, we will consider that a request by you to terminate all of your Services with us that are associated with that number and the termination will occur on the date the number is ported. Notwithstanding our honoring port requests, any balance due will still be owed by you to us. If your Services are terminated for any reason and you do not port your number to another provider, we may reassign the phone number you were using to another subscriber without notice. You will not be able to transfer any unused talk, text, or data allotments on your Surf Telecom account to your new provider and after the porting is completed, you will no longer be able to use our Services with that number. Under no circumstance will we refund you for any Allotments or account payments if you port out your number. If you port your phone number to or from Surf Telecom, some Services, such as 911 location services, may not be immediately available through Surf Telecom or the other carrier while the port is being processed.

4. ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY

You are only permitted to use Surf Telecom’s Devices and Services for lawful, personal, and non-commercial uses. Subject to those limitations, voice and text service is solely for live dialogue between, and initiated by, individuals. Data services are provided only for lawful, personal and non-commercial uses initiated by you, including web surfing, sending and receiving email, using messaging services for live dialogue between and initiated by individuals, sharing photographs, and the non-continuous streaming of videos, downloading files, participation in online gaming, and use of applications. Prohibited uses included those that are unlawful, harmful, or otherwise impact our ability or the ability of our Underlying Carrier to provide the Services to our or its subscribers.

Without limiting the foregoing, you may not access or use our Devices or Services in any manner for the transmission or dissemination of images containing child pornography.

  14. n) Intentional Interference: Interfering with service to any user, host, or network including, without limitation, denial-of-service attacks, mail bombing, news bombing, other flooding techniques, deliberate attempts to overload a system, and broadcast attacks.

7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
Most subscriber concerns can be resolved quickly and to the subscriber’s satisfaction by contacting Surf Telecom Customer Support by dialing 611 from your Surf Telecom Device or calling toll-free at 1-866-822-SURF. In the unlikely event that the Customer Support is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction (or if Surf Telecom has not been able to resolve a Dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), those Disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration or small claims court as described in this section.

7.1. Arbitration Agreement
WE (you and Surf Telecom) EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR DISPUTES IN ANY WAY RELATED TO OR CONCERNING THE AGREEMENT, OUR SERVICES, DEVICES OR PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ANY BILLING DISPUTES, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
This includes any claims against other parties relating to Services or Devices provided or billed to you (such as Surf Telecom’s suppliers, Dealers, or third party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding. We each also agree that the Agreement affects interstate commerce so that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply (despite the choice of THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. THE ARBITRATOR MUST FOLLOW THIS AGREEMENT AND CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES).
If the arbitration provision applies or you choose arbitration to resolve your disputes, then either you or Surf Telecom may start arbitration proceedings. You must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Surf Telecom’s registered agent (see Section 7.5) to begin arbitration. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will arbitrate all disputes. For claims of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for claims over $75,000, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Upon filing of the arbitration demand, Surf Telecom will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for claims that total less than $75,000. For claims that total more than $75,000, the payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys’ fees. In addition, for claims under $75,000 as to which you provided notice and negotiated in good faith as required above before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, Surf Telecom agrees not to seek an award of attorneys’ fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law.

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

7.3. Small Claims
You and Surf Telecom retain the right to seek remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within that court's jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator's award. This Arbitration Provision shall survive any termination, payoff or transfer of this contract. If any part of this Arbitration Provision, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. If a waiver of class action rights is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason in a case in which class action allegations have been made, the remainder of this Arbitration Provision shall be unenforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you maintain your right to file a complaint with the FCC, your state’s Public Service Commission, or any other federal or state government that may, if permitted by law, seek relief against us on your behalf.

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

8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1. Application of Tariffs
Surf Telecom may elect or be required to file informational tariffs with the appropriate regulatory body in certain states describing our terms and rates for our delivery of certain Services. To the extent that any provision of a tariff is inconsistent with the terms of the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement shall apply and the terms of the tariff shall not apply.

8.2. Consent to Receive Communications
Surf Telecom may occasionally need to communicate with you about your Services. We may do so without your consent in certain instances, for example in emergency situations or for service-related communications where you are not charged for the message. In addition, you have a right, and we have a duty, under federal law, to protect the confidentiality of CPNI. You hereby provide consent for us or our authorized agents or representatives to use your CPNI to market communications-related services to you. You may restrict our right to use CPNI for marketing purposes at any time. Denial of approval will not affect the provision of the services we provide to you. Any approval, or denial of approval for the use of CPNI outside of the service to which you already subscribe is valid until you affirmatively revoke or limit such approval or denial.
Further, you provide consent for Surf Telecom or our authorized agents or representatives to contact you using live, automated, or prerecorded messages (including artificial voice technologies) to any landline, wireless, or facsimile telephone number, including via text messages to your phone. We may contact you for service-related, informational or marketing purposes via these methods. You also provide consent to contact you, regardless of whether your number is listed on the Do-Not-Call Registry or a state equivalent registry. Consent to such contacts is not a condition of service and may be revoked at any time.
Finally, you provide consent for us to contact you for any reason, including for marketing purposes via the email address we assign you or you provide in connection with your service.
You agree that we also have the consent to contact any authorized user on your account for Service or payment-related reasons via any of the methods described above. Some of these communications may result in charges to you. Your consent to be contacted via any of the methods described above may be revoked at any time by any reasonable means. Please review our Privacy Policy, at www.surfusamobile.com, for additional information about how you may revoke consent to receive communications.

8.3. Modifications to this Agreement
We may, at any time, modify any part of this Agreement; any other terms, conditions, and policies; our rates, fees, and charges; our Service Plans, features, and products; and our coverage areas, Underlying Carrier, and provisioning technology. We will provide you with advanced notice of any modifications that have a material adverse impact on you or your use of the Services (other than changes to governmental fees, proportional charges for governmental mandates, and administrative charges). We may provide you with notice of any other modifications, as described in Section 8.4 (Notices) or as otherwise required by any applicable law, regulation, or order. If any regulatory body or a court of competent jurisdiction, issues a law, regulation, rule, or order that has the effect of materially increasing the cost to provide the Services or canceling, changing, or superseding any material term or provision of this Agreement (collectively “Regulatory Requirement”), then this Agreement shall be deemed modified in such a way as is consistent with the form, intent, and purpose of the Regulatory Requirement and otherwise as is necessary to comply with the Regulatory Requirement. Material adverse modifications become effective thirty (30) days after we deliver notice to you or as otherwise specified in the notice. All other modifications become effective when posted on the Surf Telecom website, www.surfusamobile.com, or as specified in any notice. If you continue to access, use, or purchase Surf Telecom Services on or after the effective date of such modifications, you accept those modifications. Neither the course of conduct between you and Surf Telecom nor common trade practice will act to modify any provision of this agreement.

8.4. Notices
We or our authorized agents may use any of the following methods to provide you with notices: correspondence to any physical address or e-mail addresses you have provided us; live or prerecorded calls, voice messages, or text messages delivered to your Device or any other phone number you have provided us; prerecorded messages when you attempt to place a call; in-app messages or push notifications; posting on our website; or by any other means Surf Telecom deems practicable. You are responsible for updating your contact information with us when it changes. Notices are treated as delivered when you accept a call; when delivered to a voicemail service associated with your service or an alternate telephone number you have provided to us, text messaging service, email address you have provided to us, or Device; when posted on our website or in an application; and three (3) days after mailed to your last known billing address. Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, you must provide us notice by calling or sending correspondence to us using the contact information provided in Section 9.

8.5. No Third-Party Beneficiaries
This Agreement is solely for the benefit of you, Surf Telecom, and our parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, and predecessors and successors in interest. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to confer on any third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action, or other right or benefit.

8.6. Assignment
You may not transfer or assign this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under it, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may transfer or assign all or part of this Agreement, or your debts to us, without notice. Upon our transfer or assignment of this Agreement, Surf Telecom shall be released from all liability with respect to this Agreement.

8.7. Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (excluding any payment obligations) if and to the extent that such default or delay arises out of causes beyond their reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, including weather-related phenomenon, earthquakes, and floods; fires; acts of war or terrorism; civil disorders, including riots, rebellions, and insurrections; labor disputes, including strikes, lockouts, and work stoppages; medical emergencies, including pandemics and quarantine restrictions; network problems, including cable cuts, power outages, network failures, and computers viruses; and any other catastrophes, national emergencies, or government orders or acts. The time for any performance required hereunder shall be extended by the delay incurred as a result of such force majeure event, and if either party is unable to perform as a result of such event, it shall act with diligence to correct or mitigate such event.

8.8. Enforcement and Waiver
Surf Telecom has the right, but not the obligation to, monitor, investigate, restrict, enforce, bring civil litigation, press charges, or engage in any other self-help regarding any actual, attempted, or suspected violation of this Agreement. Surf Telecom will determine, in its sole discretion, whether you violated or attempted to violate any of the provisions of this Agreement, including the Acceptable Use Policy. If we determine or suspect that you violated or attempted to violate this Agreement, we may terminate, suspend, modify, or limit your Services, as described in Section 5. Additionally, we may report actual or suspected criminal offences to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Surf Telecom will cooperate with law enforcement investigations where criminal activity is suspected, and you agree to cooperate with any such investigations. Any waiver of or failure to enforce any provision or prohibition in this Agreement in one instance shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right in another instance.

8.9. Survivability
Any rights, obligations, commitments, or provisions in this Agreement that, by their nature or context, are intended to or would logically continue to apply following termination of Services or of this Agreement survive termination of the Services and this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those relating to complaints, payment obligations, restrictions on the use of Devices, 911 and emergency communications, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution (including no class action and no jury trial).

8.10. Severability
