You agree to pay all taxes, fees, and surcharges (Taxes & Fees) imposed by
the government. We may not always give advance notice of changes to these items. To
determine Taxes & Fees, we will use the street address you identified as your Place of Primary
Use (PPU). If you did not identify the correct PPU, or provided us with an address (such as a
PO box) that is not a recognized street address, does not identify the applicable taxing
jurisdictions or does not reflect the Service area associated with your telephone number, you
may be assigned a default PPU. You agree to pay all other charges we assess to recover or
defray governmental charges or costs we incur in connection with the services we provide, such
as Federal Universal Service, regulatory and administrative charges, or gross receipts taxes,
without regard to whether these governmental charges or costs fund programs that provide
benefits to you or in your location. These charges are not taxes or regulatory fees imposed
directly on you, nor required by law to be billed to you, may be kept by us in whole or in part,
and the amounts and what is included in these charges are subject to change without notice.

If we do not receive payment in full by the due date on your
bill, you may be charged a late fee of the greater of 1.5% per month (18% annually) or $5/
month, subject to the maximum allowed by law. We may use a collection agency and you agree
to pay collection agency fees we incur to collect payment. If we accept late or partial payments,
we do not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe, including late fees. If your check is
dishonored or returned, we may charge you up to $20, require another payment method, and/or
immediately suspend or cancel your Service. We will not honor limiting notations you make on
or with your checks. Deposits: We may require a deposit. You agree that only we can apply
deposits, payments, or prepayments in any order to any amounts you owe us on any account.

interest on deposits at the rate the law requires and will hold the money for you for up to 1 year,
at which time you forfeit to us any portion of the money left.

If you have a dispute regarding your bill or charges to your
account, you agree to notify us of the dispute within 60 days after the date you first receive the
disputed bill or charge (Dispute Period), unless otherwise provided by law. If you do not notify us
of your dispute in writing within this time period, you may not pursue a claim in arbitration or in
court. You must pay disputed charges until the dispute is resolved. If you accept a credit, refund
or other compensation or benefit to resolve a disputed bill or charge, you agree that the issue is
