Section 16
108 Terms and Conditions & Warranty Information
Invoicing
Invoicing cycles are approximately 30 days in length. Invoicing cycles and dates may
change from time to time. Except as otherwise provided in your Service Plan,
monthly recurring charges (MRCs) are invoiced one invoicing cycle in advance.
Charges for Services are usually invoiced as soon as possible after the charges accrue.
We may, however, invoice you for usage and charges occurring before the invoicing
cycle being invoiced, if they were not previously invoiced. If you are invoiced for
usage incurred during a prior invoicing cycle, those minutes will be applied to your
Service Plan minutes for the current invoicing cycle. However, if you change your
Service Plan between the time the usage was incurred and the beginning of the
current invoicing cycle, those minutes from the prior invoicing cycle will be charged
at the rate per minute for usage over included minutes provided in the Service Plan in
effect at the time the usage was incurred.
Payment
If you have authorized payment for Services or equipment by credit card or by
debiting a bank account, no additional notice or consent is required before we invoice
the credit card or debit the bank account for all amounts due to us or billed by us on
behalf of a third party. You must promptly notify us of any change in your invoicing
address or of the credit card or bank account used for payment. We reserve the right to
require payment by money order, cashier’s check or other secured form of payment. If
we take action to receive payment beyond invoicing you for charges for Services or
equipment, you must pay our costs and expenses of collection, including attorneys’
fees and expenses, the fees of any collection agency and court costs. If we act as an
invoicing agent for a third-party service provider, payments received are first applied
to amounts due and owing to us and any remaining amounts are applied to sums
due and owing to the third-party service provider. We may charge an additional fee
for any check or other negotiable instrument endorsed by you and returned unpaid
by a financial institution for any reason. You may be charged fees for certain methods
of payment.
Late Payment Charges
Payment is past due if we do not receive it by the due date shown on your invoice. Any
payment for Services and equipment not made when due accrues late charges until
paid at the rate of 1.5% per month or at the highest rate allowed by law. Late charges
are prorated daily for each day that payment is past due, but are not compounded
monthly. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “paid in full”) does
not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us.
Disputed Charges
You must raise any dispute that you have about any charges invoiced to you within 15
days of the date of the invoice or you have accepted the invoice. You may notify us of
any dispute by notifying Sprint PCS Customer Service Solutions. Calls to our sales or
general business offices are not notice of a dispute. If disputed invoice procedures are
described on the invoice, you must follow them.
Termination. Non-Term Service Plan.
If you are on a Non-Term Service Plan you may terminate Services at any time by
giving us notice. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we may terminate Services at
any time, with or without notice. We may deactivate any Number before you receive
notice of termination without liability to you. Termination by either of us may be
with or without cause.
