Nextel Subscriber Agreement: General Terms and Conditions of Service 67
Terms & Conditions
may charge you, up to the highest amount permitted by law, for returned checks or other payments paid
by you and denied for any reason by a financial institution. Acceptance of payments (even if marked
“paid in full”) does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us. We may restrict your
payment methods to cashier’s check, money order, or other similar secure form of payment at any time
for good reason.
Taxes & Government Fees
You agree to pay all federal, state and local taxes, fees and other assessments that we’re required by law
to collect and remit to the government on the Services we provide to you. These charges may change
from time to time without advance notice. If you’re claiming any tax exemption, you must provide us with
a valid exemption certificate. Tax exemptions generally won’t be applied retroactively.
Surcharges
You agree to pay all surcharges (“Surcharges”), which include, but are not limited to: Federal Universal
Service, various regulatory fees, Sprint administrative charges, gross receipts charges, and charges for
the costs we incur in complying with governmental programs.
Surcharges are not taxes and are not
required by law. They are rates we choose to collect from you and are kept by us in whole or in part.
The number and type of Surcharges may vary depending upon the location of your primary billing
address and can change over time. We determine the rate for these charges and these amounts are
subject to change as are the components used to calculate these amounts.
We will provide you
notice of any changes to Surcharges in a manner consistent with this Agreement (see “Providing Notice
To Each Other Under The Agreement” section). However, since some Surcharges are based on amounts
set by the government or based on government formulas, it will not always be possible to provide
advance notice of new Surcharges or changes in the amount of existing Surcharges. Information on
Surcharges is provided during the sales transaction and is available on our website.
Disputing Charges - You Must Still Pay Undisputed Charges
Any dispute to a charge on your bill must be made within 60 days of the date of the bill that initially
contained the charge. Disputes can only be made by calling or writing us as directed on your invoice or
elsewhere. You accept all charges not properly disputed within the above time period – undisputed
charges must still be paid as stated on your bill.
Protecting Our Network & Services
We can take any action to: (1) protect our network, our rights and interests, or the rights of others; or (2)
optimize or improve the overall use of our network and Services. Some of these actions may interrupt or
