Section 6B: Terms and Conditions

If you do not agree with the terms of our Privacy Policy, do not purchase or use
our Services.

Location Based Services

Our network generally knows the location of your Device when it is outdoors and
turned on. By using various technologies to locate your Device, we can provide
enhanced emergency 911 services, and optional location-sensitive services
provided by us or a third party. Environmental factors (such as structures,
buildings, weather, geography, landscape, and topography) can significantly
impact the ability to access your Device’s location information and use of
location-sensitive services. The terms and conditions of any location-sensitive
service that you purchase from us may provide more information about how
location information is used and disclosed. Use of some of location-sensitive
services may require network coverage. If any Device on your account uses a
location-sensitive service, you (the accountholder) must clearly and regularly notify the
actual user of your Device that their location may be tracked or discovered.
For
additional information on location-sensitive services, see our Privacy Policy at our
Web site.

911 Or Other Emergency Calls

Public Safety Officials advise that when making 911 or other emergency calls, you
should always be prepared to provide your location information.
Unlike traditional
wireline phones, depending on a number of factors (e.g., whether your Device is
GPS enabled, where you are, whether local emergency service providers have
upgraded their equipment, etc.), 911 operators may not know your phone
number, your location or the location of your Device. In certain circumstances, an
emergency call may be routed to a state patrol dispatcher or alternative location
set by local emergency service providers. Enhanced 911 service (“E911”), where
enabled by local emergency authorities, uses GPS technology to provide location
information. Even when available, however, E911 does not always provide
accurate location information. If your Device is indoors or for some other reason
cannot acquire a satellite signal, you may not be located. Some Devices have a
safety feature that prevents use of the keypad after dialing 911 – you should
follow voice prompts when interacting with emergency service providers
employing IVR systems to screen calls.

If Your Device Is Lost or Stolen

Call us immediately if your Device is lost or stolen because you may be responsible
for usage charges before you notify us of the alleged loss or theft. You agree to
