Taxes, Fees and Assessments - Customer shall pay all federal, state,
and local taxes and fees that are imposed on transactions subject to this
Agreement. Customer shall not be responsible for taxes and fees
imposed on Sprint’s net income or property. Customer shall be
responsible for all taxes and fees (whether imposed upon Customer or
Sprint) that are measured by gross receipts from sales made to
Customer or imposed as a per-line or per-unit charge. Applicable taxes
and fees include, but are not limited to, the following: federal, state, and
local excise taxes, sales and transaction taxes, gross receipts taxes,
utility taxes, and statutory 911 fees. If Customer is eligible for an
exemption from any tax or fee, Customer must provide Sprint with a valid
and properly executed exemption certificate for the exemption to be
effective. Customer shall provide Sprint with the Primary Place of Use
(i.e., Customer’s residential street address or primary business address)
for each unit activated on Customer’s account, and notify Sprint of any
changes in such address. Additional fees and assessments apply to
Customer’s monthly Service Plan. The charges may change and may
vary depending on where Customer is located. The charges include, but
are not limited to, a Universal Service Fund assessment and a
Telephone Relay Service Fee. Sprint also imposes a Federal Programs
Cost Recovery (“FPCR”) fee that is not a tax or government mandated,
but is kept by Sprint to recover Sprint’s costs for complying with Federal
Communications Commission (“FCC”) programs and mandates. The
FPCR fee is subject to adjustment, and Sprint will provide advance
notice to Customer through the “Sprint News” section of Customer’s bill
or a bill insert of any significant increase in the FPCR fee. Please
consult the current Sprint pricing materials, a sales consultant or visit
http://www.Sprint.com for information regarding the FPCR fee and the
current amount of the fee. Additional fees may be added to Customer’s
bill to recover Sprint’s costs for funding government programs or
initiatives.
Early Termination Component of Rate Structure - Sprint incurs a
significant cost in activating Service to Customer, including a large up-
front cost in offering Equipment to Customer. These costs are partially
recouped over the length of Customer’s Agreement with Sprint through
monthly service rate charges to Customer, which have been established
in part for this purpose. If Customer breaches this Agreement or
terminates Service for any reason (including by porting its Phone number
to another service provider), Customer understands and acknowledges
that Sprint will not receive the full benefit of its Agreement with
