Battery and Charger
Sprint-approved or LG-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or
through LG, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They‗re also available at www.sprint.com.
WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or LG-approved batteries and chargers with your
phone. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or LG-approved battery and charger
may increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode,
resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property.
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery
before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 14 hours of continuous digital talk time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are
approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone can sound an audible alert and then turn
off.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, using vibrate mode, browser use, and
other variables may reduce the battery‗s talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your phone's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of
power.
Install the Battery
► See Set Up Your Phone.
Remove the Battery
1. Make sure the power is turned off so that you don‗t lose any unsaved items.
2. Lift the back cover using the fingertip cutout located at the bottom of the phone and
remove it.
3. Lift the battery using the fingertip cutout and remove it from the phone.
WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.
Phone Basics 16
Charge the Battery
Keeping track of your battery's charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your
phone automatically turns off and you will lose any information you were just working on.
Always use a Sprint-approved or LG-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
1. Connect the charging adapter and USB cable as shown; the LG logo on the charging
adapter should face toward you.
2. Plug one end of the USB cable into the phone's Charger/Accessory Port and the other
end into an electrical outlet. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.
With the Sprint-approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes
completely drained.
Battery Temperature Protection
Though extremely rare, if the battery becomes overheated, the phone will automatically turn off.
Charge with USB
You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with the USB cable,
you need to install the necessary USB drivers on your computer first. Connect one end of the
USB cable to the Charger/Accessory Port on your phone and connect the other end to a USB
port on your computer. It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop
computer. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source.
Note: Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or bus-
powered USB hub.
The LG USB Driver is downloadable from the following site: http://www.lg.com/us/ >
Select SUPPORT. In the Search box next to SEARCH PRODUCT SUPPORT, enter the
model name or name and click SEARCH. Click the model. On the PRODUCT
SUPPORT page, click on Software Update & Drivers.
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save
unnecessary power consumption of the charger.

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe,
satisfactory service.
● To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion of your phone where the
internal antenna is located while using the phone.
● Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
● Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your phone does
get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.
● Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended periods of time (such as on the
dashboard of a car).
Important Information for the LS720 182
● Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be
broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
● Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this document
could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this
equipment.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized personnel should service your
phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Phone
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communication
(e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or
when certain network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local
service provider for details.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is
prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety
always comes first.
Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or call Sprint at 1-
866-866-7509. You can also dial # 2 2 2 on your phone.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given
area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or
danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However, RF
signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating
systems or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their
representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing
aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Important Information for the LS720 183
Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request permission before using
the phone near medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft
systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have
permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent
any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or in
other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often
use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you‗re in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Although it‗s rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include:
● Fueling areas such as gas stations.
● Below deck on boats.
● Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
● Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
● Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle‘s engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children‘s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and
others, damage the phone or make calls that increase your Sprint invoice.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device
A number of Sprint phones have been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some
wireless phones are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear
implants), users may detect a noise which can interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing
device.
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also
vary in the amount of interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19 was
Important Information for the LS720 184
developed to provide a standardized means of measuring both wireless phone and hearing
devices to determine usability rating categories for both.
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist hearing device users find phones that
may be compatible with their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for compatibility
with hearing devices. Phones that have been rated have a label located on the box. Your LS720
has an M4T3 rating. These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user‗s
hearing device and individual type and degree of hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly
vulnerable to interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still cause unacceptable
noise levels in the hearing device. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way
to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for hearing aid compatibility and
are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the
better/higher of the two ratings.)
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable
with a hearing device‗s telecoil (―T Switch” or ―Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is
the better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Note: New Technologies, Including Wi-Fi This phone has been tested and rated for use with
hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be
some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for
use with hearing aids.
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to interference noise from wireless
phones and should have ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare professional for
the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine
probable usability:
● Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers excellent use.
● Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
● Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for
―excellent use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3/T3 or
M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device. Should
you experience interference or find the quality of service unsatisfactory after purchasing your
phone, promptly return it to the store within 14 days of purchase. (A restocking fee may be
applied to exchanges. Visit http://www.sprint.com/returns for details.) More information about
hearing aid compatibility may be found at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and
www.accesswireless.org.
When you're talking over the cell phone, it's recommended you'd turn
the second transmitters such as BT (Bluetooth) or WLAN mode off for HAC.
Important Information for the LS720 185
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Phone
To further minimize interference:
● Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time
interval:
1. Tap > and tap System settings > Display > Screen timeout.
2. Tap the minimum time interval setting.
● Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.
● Move the phone around to find the point with least interference.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery‗s performance.
● Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating,
catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable
manufacturing standards. Sprint is not aware of similar problems with Sprint phones
resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by Sprint or the
manufacturer of your phone. Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved
batteries and accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your phone‗s manufacturer,
or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They‗re also available at www.sprint.com/accessories.
Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure they‗re genuine and
safe.
● In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F
to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
● Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the
bathroom.
● Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
● Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
● Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
● The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.
● It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can
be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
Important Information for the LS720 186
● Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It‗s best to
follow these storage rules:
Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest Sprint authorized service
center.
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of
batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it‗s turned on, it receives and
transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your
call controls the power level.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI‗s 1982 standard for safety levels
with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and
physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed this updated
standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC
adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines
published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body,
use a Sprint-supplied or Sprint-approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If
you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least approximately 0.40 inch
(1 centimeter) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved accessories may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Important Information for the LS720 187
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
If you are concerned about RF exposure, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your
exposure.
● Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone.
● Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between your head and the cell
phone.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a
user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation
process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at
their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can
be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors
including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is
important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do
not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety.
As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean
variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered
safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the LS720 are:
Max. Head and Body SAR:
Head: 1.09 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.29 W/kg

Basic Definitions
In this document: (1) ―we,” ―us,” ―our,” and ―Sprint” mean Sprint Solutions, Inc., as contracting
agent on behalf of the applicable Sprint affiliated entities providing the products and Services; (2)
―you,” ―your,” ―customer,” and ―user” mean an account holder or user with us; (3) ―Device”
means any phone, aircard, mobile broadband device, any other device, accessory, or other
product that we provide you, we sell to you, or is active on your account with us; and (4)
―Service” means Sprint-branded or Nextel-branded offers, rate plans, options, wireless services,
billing services, applications, programs, products, or Devices on your account with us.
―Service(s)” also includes any other product or service that we offer or provide to you that
references these General Terms and Conditions of Service (―Ts&Cs”).
The Service Agreement
These Ts&Cs are part of your service agreement with us (the ―Agreement”) and constitute a
contract under which we provide you Services under terms and conditions that you accept.
THIS CONTRACT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT
DISALLOWS CLASS ACTIONS, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION, AND A JURY
WAIVER PROVISION. In addition to these Ts&Cs, there are several parts of the Agreement,
which includes but is not limited to the following: (i) the subscriber agreement or transaction
materials that you sign or accept; (ii) the plan(s) that you chose as set forth in our written
Important Information for the LS720 192
services and transaction materials that we provide or refer you to during the sales transaction (if
your service plan is not specifically set forth in any printed materials, the requirements and
terms set forth in the current written services and transaction materials apply, excluding the
monthly charge and number of minutes included in your service plan); (iii) any confirmation
materials and invoices that we may provide to you; and (iv) the terms set forth in the coverage
map brochures. It is important that you carefully read all of the terms of the Agreement.
Additional Terms
Additional terms will apply when you use certain applications, programs, Devices, and services,
and these terms will be provided to you prior to your use of the items. Depending on who
provides the items, the terms may come from Sprint or a third party. You are subject to any
terms provided by the third party, and the terms are directly between you and that third party.
Sprint is not responsible for these third party items and associated terms. Additional terms will
also apply if you activate Services as part of a bundle with another company‗s services (for
example, cable services, home phone services, etc.). The additional terms for bundled Services
may either modify or replace certain provisions in these Ts&Cs, including terms relating to
activation, invoicing, payment, and disputing charges. Also, a different dispute resolution
provision may apply to services provided by another company (the dispute resolution provisions
in this Agreement still apply to our Services). You will be provided details on any additional
terms with your selection of any bundled Service. For employee and organization discounts, the
discount percentage may vary from month-to-month based on the terms of the agreement
between your employer, association, or other organization and Sprint. The discount will be zero
after your agreement or your organization‗s agreement with Sprint ends. Additional terms and
eligibility requirements regarding organization discounts will be provided to you.
Our Policies
Services are subject to our business policies, practices, and procedures (―Policies”). You agree
to adhere to all of our Policies when you use our Services. Our Policies are subject to change at
anytime with or without notice.
When You Accept The Agreement
You must have the legal capacity to accept the Agreement. You accept the Agreement when
you do any of the following: (a) accept the Agreement through any printed, oral, or electronic
statement, including on the web by electronically marking that you have reviewed and accepted;
(b) attempt to or in any way use the Services; (c) pay for the Services; or (d) open any package
or start any program that says you are accepting the Agreement when doing so. If you don’t
want to accept the Agreement, don’t do any of these things.
Term Commitments & Early Termination Fees
Many of the Services (for example, Device discounts) that we offer require you to maintain
certain Services with us for a minimum term, usually 1 or 2 years (―Term Commitment”). You
will be charged a fee (―Early Termination Fee”) for each line of Service that you terminate
early (i.e., prior to satisfying the Term Commitment) or for each line of Service that we
Important Information for the LS720 193
terminate early for good reason (for example, violating the payment or other terms of the
Agreement) but such Early Termination Fee may be prorated based on your remaining
Term Commitment. Early Termination Fees are a part of our rates. Your exact Term
Commitment and Early Termination Fee may vary based on the Services you select and will be
disclosed to you during the sales transaction. Carefully review any Term Commitment and
Early Termination Fee requirements prior to selecting Services. After you have satisfied
your Term Commitment, your Services continue on a month-to-month basis without any
Early Termination Fee, unless you agree to extend your Term Commitment or agree to a
new Term Commitment. Services offered on a subscription basis, as described in the ―Account
& Service Charges” section, may not require a Term Commitment and may not automatically
renew. As explained directly below, there are instances when you will not be responsible for an
Early Termination Fee for terminating Services early.
When You Don’t Have To Pay An Early Termination Fee
You aren‗t responsible for paying an Early Termination Fee when terminating Services: (a)
provided on a month-to-month basis; (b) provided on a subscription basis that do not include a
Term Commitment; (c) consistent with our published trial period return policy; or (d) in response
to a materially adverse change that we make to the Agreement as described directly below.
Our Right To Change The Agreement & Your Related Rights
We may change any part of the Agreement at any time, including, but not limited to, rates,
charges, how we calculate charges, discounts, coverage, technologies used to provide
services, or your terms of Service. We will provide you notice of material changes—and
we may provide you notice of non-material changes—in a manner consistent with this
Agreement (see ―Providing Notice To Each Other Under The Agreement” section). If a
change we make to the Agreement is material and has a material adverse effect on
Services under your Term Commitment, you may terminate each line of Service
materially affected without incurring an Early Termination Fee only if you: (a) call us
within 30 days after the effective date of the change; and (b) specifically advise us that
you wish to cancel Services because of a material change to the Agreement that we have
made. If you do not cancel Service within 30 days of the change, an Early Termination Fee will
apply if you terminate Services before the end of any applicable Term Commitment.
Our Right To Suspend Or Terminate Services
We can, without notice, suspend or terminate any Service at any time for any reason. For
example, we can suspend or terminate any Service for the following: (a) late payment; (b)
exceeding an Account Spending Limit; (c) harassing/threatening/abusing/ offending our
employees or agents; (d) providing false or inaccurate information; (e) interfering with our
operations; (f) using/suspicion of using Services in any manner restricted by or inconsistent with
the Agreement and Policies; (g) breaching, failing to follow, or abusing the Agreement or
Policies; (h) providing false, inaccurate, dated, or unverifiable identification or credit information
or becoming insolvent or bankrupt; (i) modifying a Device from its manufacturer specifications
(for example, rooting the device); (j) failing to use our Services for an extended period of time; (k)
Important Information for the LS720 194
failing to maintain an active Device in connection with our Services; or (l) if we believe the action
protects our interests, any customer‗s interests, or our networks.
Your Right To Change Services & When Changes Are Effective
The account holder can typically change Services upon request. In some instances, changes
may be conditioned on payment of an Early Termination Fee or certain other charges, or they
may require a new Term Commitment. Changes to Services are usually effective at the start of
the next full invoicing cycle. If the changes take place sooner, your invoice may reflect pro-rated
charges for your old and new Services. We may, but are not obligated to, provide you the
opportunity to authorize someone else to make changes to your Services, which will include the
authority to make changes that will extend your Term Commitment. You are responsible for any
changes to your Services made by a person you authorize, and those changes will be treated
as modifications to this Agreement.
Your Right To Terminate Services
You can terminate Services at any time by calling us and requesting that we deactivate all
Services. In addition, if you return or provide your Device to Sprint and fail to either deactivate
service on the Device or activate another Device in connection with your Service, we reserve
the right to terminate your Service, and if you are subject to a Term Commitment, you may be
charged all or part of an Early Termination Fee. You are responsible for all charges billed or
incurred prior to deactivation. If Services are terminated before the end of your invoicing cycle,
we won‗t prorate charges to the date of termination and you won‗t receive a credit or refund for
any unused Services. Except as provided above, if you are subject to an Early Termination
Fee, you must also pay the invoiced Early Termination Fee for each line of Service that
you terminate early.
Credit Checks & Credit Information
We agree to provide you Services on the condition that you have and maintain satisfactory
credit according to our standards and policies. You agree to provide information that we may
request or complete any applications that we may provide you to facilitate our review. We rely
on the credit information you furnish, credit bureau reports or other data available from
commercial credit reference services, and other information (such as payment history with us) to
determine whether to provide or continue to provide you Services. The Services we offer you
can vary based on your credit history. We may at any time, based on your credit history,
withdraw or change Services or place limits or conditions on the use of our Services. You agree
to provide us updated credit information upon request. We may provide your payment history
and other account billing/charge information to any credit reporting agency or industry
clearinghouse.
Account Spending Limits (“ASL”)
An ASL is a temporary or permanent limit (typically based on credit history, payment history, or
to prevent fraud) that we place on the amount of unpaid charges you can accumulate on your
account, regardless of when payment on those charges is due. We reserve the right to
determine which charges count toward an ASL. If you have an ASL, we may suspend your
Important Information for the LS720 195
Services without prior notice if your account balance reaches the ASL, even if your account is
not past due. We may impose or increase an ASL at any time with notice. An ASL is for our
benefit only and should not be relied on by you to manage usage.
Deposits & Returning Deposits
We may at any time require a deposit as a guarantee of payment for you to establish or
maintain Service (―Deposit”). By providing us a Deposit, you grant us a security interest for all
current or future amounts owed to us. We may change the Deposit at any time with notice. You
can‗t use a Deposit to make or delay payments. The Deposit, the length of time we hold the
Deposit, and changes to the Deposit are determined based on your credit history, payment
history, and other factors. Unless prohibited by law, we may mix Deposits with our other funds
and it won‗t earn interest, and we reserve the right to return the Deposit as a credit on your
invoice at anytime. If your Services are terminated for any reason, we may keep and apply your
Deposit to any outstanding charges. We‗ll send any remaining portion of the Deposit to your last
known address within 90 days after your final invoice— if it is returned to us, we will forward it
on to the appropriate state authorities to the extent required by law.
Restrictions On Using Services
You can‗t use our Services: (a) in a way that could cause damage or adversely affect any of our
other customers or our reputation, networks, property, or Services; or (b) in any way prohibited
by the terms of our Services, the Agreement, or our Policies. You cannot in any manner resell
the Services to another party. For additional restrictions on the use of our Services, see our
Acceptable Use Policy and Visitors Agreement, which are available on our website, and the
detailed plan or other information on Services that we provide or refer you to during the sales
transaction.
Your Device, Number & E-mail Address; Caller ID
We don‗t manufacture any Device that we might sell to you or that is associated with our
Services, and we aren‗t responsible for any defects, acts, or omissions of the manufacturer. The
only warranties on your Device are the limited warranties given to you by the
manufacturer directly or that we pass through. Device performance may vary based on
device specifications (for example, a device’s software, memory, and storage), and
device performance may impact access to all of our Services. Your Device is designed to
be activated on our networks and in other coverage areas that we may make available to you.
As programmed, it will not accept wireless service from another carrier. Except for any legal
right you may have to port/transfer your phone number to another carrier, you have no— and
cannot gain any (for example, through publication, use, etc.)—proprietary, ownership, or other
rights to any phone number, identification number, e-mail address, or other identifier that we
assign to you, your Device, or your account. We‗ll notify you if we decide to change or reassign
them. Your CDMA Sprint PCS phone has a software programming lock that protects certain of
the handset‗s operating parameters against unauthorized reprogramming. If you wish to obtain
the software program lock code for your CDMA Sprint PCS phone, please visit Sprint.com or
call 1-888-211-4727 for information and eligibility requirements.
Important Information for the LS720 196
Porting/Transferring Phone Numbers
We don‗t guarantee that number transfers to or from us will be successful. If you authorize
another carrier to transfer a number away from us, then that is considered a request by you to
us to terminate all of the Services associated with that number. You’re responsible for all
charges billed or incurred prior to deactivation and for any applicable Early Termination
Fees.
Coverage; Where Your Device Will Work; Service Speeds
Our coverage maps are available at our authorized retail locations and on our website. The
specific network coverage you get will depend on the radio transmissions your Device can pick
up and Services you‗ve chosen. Our coverage maps provide high level estimates of our
coverage areas when using Services outdoors under optimal conditions. Coverage isn’t
available everywhere. Coverage and Service speeds are not guaranteed. Coverage is
subject to change without notice. Service speeds may depend on the Service purchased.
Actual speeds will vary. Estimating wireless coverage, signal strength, and Service
speed is not an exact science. There are gaps in coverage within our estimated coverage
areas that—along with other factors both within and beyond our control (for example,
network problems, network or internet congestion, software, signal strength, your Device,
structures, buildings, weather, geography, topography, server speeds of the websites
you access, actions of third parties, etc.)—may result in dropped and blocked
connections, slower Service speeds, or otherwise impact the quality of Service. Services
that rely on location information, such as E911 and GPS navigation, depend on your
Device’s ability to acquire satellite signals (typically not available indoors) and network
coverage. While your Device is receiving a software update, you may be unable to use your
Device in any manner until the software update is complete.
Roaming
The term ―roaming” typically refers to coverage on another carrier‗s network that we may make
available to you based on our agreements with other carriers. These agreements may change
from time to time, and roaming coverage is subject to change without notice. Your ability to
receive roaming coverage depends on the radio transmissions your Device can pick up and the
availability of roaming coverage. We make no guaranty that roaming coverage will be available.
Roaming coverage may exist both within and outside our network coverage areas. Your Device
will generally indicate when you‗re roaming. Depending on your Services, separate charges or
limits on the amount of minutes used while roaming may apply. Certain Services may not be
available or work the same when roaming (for example, data Services, voicemail, call waiting,
etc.).
About Data Services & Content
Our data Services and your Device may allow you to access the internet, text, pictures, video,
games, graphics, music, email, applications, sound, and other materials (―Data Content”) or
send Data Content elsewhere. Some Data Content is available from us or our vendors, while
other Data Content can be accessed from others (for example, third party websites, games,
Important Information for the LS720 197
ringers, applications, etc.). We make absolutely no guarantees about the Data Content that you
access on your Device. Data Content may be: (1) unsuitable for children/minors; (2)
unreliable or inaccurate; or (3) offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You’re solely
responsible for evaluating the Data Content accessed by you or anyone through your
Services. We strongly recommend that you monitor data usage by children/minors. Data
Content from third parties may also harm your Device or its software. We are not responsible for
any Data Content. We are not responsible for any damage caused by any Data Content that
you access through your Services, that you load on your Device, or that you request that our
representatives access or load on your Device. To protect our networks and Services or for
other reasons, we may place restrictions on accessing certain Data Content (such as certain
websites, applications, etc.); impose separate charges; limit throughput or the amount of data
that you can transfer; or otherwise limit or terminate Services. If we provide you storage for Data
Content that you have purchased, then we may delete the Data Content without notice or place
restrictions/limits on the use of storage areas. Data Content stored on a Device, transmitted
over our networks, or stored by Sprint may be deleted, modified, or damaged. You may not be
able to make or receive voice calls while using data Services. Data Content provided by our
vendors or third parties is subject to cancellation or termination at any time without notice to you,
and you may not receive a refund for any unused portion of the Data Content.
Specific Terms & Restrictions On Using Data Services
In addition to the rules for using all of our other Services, unless we identify the Service or
Device that you have selected as specifically intended for that purpose (for example, wireless
routers, Data Link, etc.), you can‗t use our data Services: (1) with server devices or host
computer applications or other systems that drive continuous, heavy traffic or data sessions; (2)
as a substitute or backup for private lines or frame relay connections; or (3) for any other
unintended use as we determine in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to limit, suspend, or
constrain any heavy, continuous data usage that adversely impacts our networks performances
or hinders access to our networks. If your Services include web or data access, you also can‗t
use your Device as a modem for computers or other equipment, unless we identify the Service
or Device you have selected as specifically intended for that purpose (for example, with ―phone
as modem” plans, Sprint Mobile Broadband card plans, wireless router plans, etc.).
Software License
If Sprint provides you software as part of the Service and there are not software license terms
provided with the software (by Sprint or by a third party), then Sprint grants you a limited,
revocable, non-exclusive, nontransferable license to use the software to access the Services for
your own individual use. You will not sell, resell, transfer, copy, translate, publish, create
derivative works of, make any commercial use of, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or
disassemble the software. Sprint may revoke this license at any time.
Activation & Miscellaneous Charges
Based on our Policies, we may charge activation, prepayment, reactivation, program, or other
fees to establish or maintain Services. Certain transactions may also be subject to a charge (for
Important Information for the LS720 198
example, convenience payment, changing phone numbers, handset upgrades, etc.). You will be
provided notice of these types of fees before we complete the requested transaction.
Account & Service Charges
You are responsible for all charges associated with your account and the Services on
your account, no matter who adds or uses the Services. Charges include, but are not
limited to, the monthly recurring charges, usage charges, charges for additional services, taxes,
surcharges, and fees associated with your Services. These charges are described or referred to
during the sales transaction, in our marketing materials, and in confirmation materials that we
may send to you. Depending on your Services, charges for additional services may include
operator and directory assistance, voicemail, call forwarding, data calls, texts, and web access.
If you (the account holder) allow end users to access or use your Devices, you authorize end
users to access, download, and use Services. You may have the opportunity to purchase
Services on a subscription basis where we assess subscription charges that allow you access
to the Services and/or provide you a certain amount of use of the Services for a defined period
of time. Depending on your Service, certain types of subscription charges may be assessed
automatically upon activation and automatically assessed for subsequent subscription periods.
Subscription Services offered on a recurring basis do not end until terminated by you or us.
Subscription charges for recurring Services occur at the beginning of each bill cycle. Information
regarding your bill cycle for subscription Services will be provided when you order the Services.
For Services offered on a per-day basis, you will generally be charged for use before or at the
time of use. In certain instances, we may charge you at some point after you use the Services.
Unless otherwise disclosed, Services offered on a per-day basis end 24 hours after Service is
initiated.
How We Calculate Your Charges For Billing Purposes
Regular Voice Calls: We round up partial minutes of use to the next full minute. Time starts
when you press ―Talk” or your Device connects to the network and stops when you press ―End”
or the network connection otherwise breaks. You‗re charged for all calls that connect, even to
answering machines, voicemail, or voice transcription services. You won‗t be charged for
unanswered calls or if you get a busy signal. For incoming calls answered, you‗re charged from
the time shortly before the Device starts ringing until you press ―End” or the network connection
otherwise breaks. If charges vary depending on the time of day that you place or receive calls
(for example, Nights and Weekend plans), you‗re charged for the entire call based on the rate
that applies to the time period in which the call starts.
Walkie-Talkie Charges: Charges for walkie-talkie calls are billed to the person who starts the
call and calculated by multiplying the duration of the call by the applicable rate and number of
participants. You‗re charged at least 6 seconds of airtime for each call you start; subsequent
communications in the same call are rounded up to and billed to the next second. Time begins
when you press any button to start a walkie-talkie call and ends approximately 6 seconds after
completion of a communication to which no participant responds. Subsequent walkie-talkie
communications are considered new calls. Depending on your plan, nationwide, international, or
group walkie-talkie calls may use the local walkie-talkie minutes in your plan and result in
Important Information for the LS720 199
additional charges. Responses to call alert transmissions are treated as new walkie-talkie
transmissions even when responding within 6 seconds of receiving the alert. Walkie-talkie billing
methods are subject to change as we introduce new walkie-talkie Services.
Data Usage: Unless we specifically tell you otherwise, data usage is measured in bytes,
kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes—not in minutes/time. 1024 bytes equals 1 kilobyte (―KB”),
1024 KB equals 1 megabyte, and 1024 megabytes equals 1 gigabyte. Bytes are rounded up to
kilobytes, so you will be charged at least 1 KB for each data usage session (―data session”).
Rounding occurs at the end of each data session, and sometimes during a data session.
Depending on your data Services, usage may be charged against an allowance or on a fixed
price per KB, and you may be subject to limitations on the amount of data usage. If you are
charged on a fixed price per KB, any fractional cents will be rounded up to the next cent. You
are charged for all data directed to your Device‗s internet address, including data sessions you
did not initiate and for incomplete transfers. As long as your Device is connected to our data
networks, you may incur data charges. Examples of data for which you will be charged includes
the size of a requested file or Data Content (game, ringer, etc.); web page graphics (logos,
pictures, banners, advertisement, etc.); additional data used in accessing, transporting, and
routing the file on our network; data from partial or interrupted downloads; re-sent data; and
data associated with unsuccessful attempts to reach websites or use applications. These data
charges are in addition to any charges for the Data Content itself (game, ringer, etc.). Data used
and charged to you will vary widely, even between identical actions or data sessions. Estimates
of data usage—for example, the size of downloadable files—are not reliable predictors of actual
usage. Your bill won‗t separately list the number of KB attributed to a specific action/data
session.
Your Bill
Your bill provides you notice of your charges. It reflects monthly recurring charges (usually billed
one bill cycle in advance), fees, taxes, Surcharges, product and equipment charges,
subscription charges, and usage/ transaction specific charges (usually billed in the bill cycle in
which they‗re incurred). Some usage charges, such as those that depend on usage information
from a third party, may be billed in subsequent bill cycles and result in higher than expected
charges for that month. Bill cycles and dates may change from time to time. Your bill may also
include other important notices (for example, changes to your Agreement, to your
Service, legal notices, etc.). Your paper bill may not include itemized billing detail. More
specific billing information is available online. Paper bills with itemized detail may be subject to
an additional charge. Unless prohibited by law, other charges (for example, data Services or
taxes and surcharges) will not include itemized detail but will be listed as total charges for a
category. If you choose internet billing, you will not receive paper bills.
Your Payments; Late Fees
Payment is due in full as stated on your bill. If we do not receive payment in full by the date
specified on your bill, a late payment charge, which may be charged at the highest rate
permissible by law, may be applied to the total unpaid balance. We may also charge you any
costs we pay to a collection agency to collect unpaid balances from you. If we bill you for
Important Information for the LS720 200
amounts on behalf of a third party, payments received are first applied to our charges. You may
be charged additional fees for certain methods of payment. We 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 that 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 may include, but are not limited to:
Federal Universal Service; various regulatory charges; Sprint administrative charges; gross
receipts charges and certain other taxes imposed upon Sprint; or charges for the costs that we
incur and pass along to you. Surcharges are not taxes, and we are not required to assess
them by law. They are charges we choose to collect from you, are part of our rates, and
are kept by us in whole or in part. The number and type of Surcharges will be provided
on your invoice and may vary depending upon the location of the billing address of the
Device 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 networks, our rights and interests, or the rights of
others; or (2) optimize or improve the overall use of our networks and Services. Some of these
actions may interrupt or prevent legitimate communications and usage—for example, message
filtering/blocking software to prevent SPAM or viruses; limiting throughput; limiting access to
certain websites, applications, or other Data Content; prohibitions on unintended uses (for
Important Information for the LS720 201
example, use as a dedicated line, or use as a monitoring service), etc. For additional information
on what we do to protect our customers, networks, Services, and equipment, see our
Acceptable Use Policy and Visitors Agreement at our website.
Your Privacy
Our Privacy Policy is available on our website. To review the policy, visit
www.sprint.com/legal/privacy.html. This policy may change from time to time, so review it with
regularity and care.
Call Monitoring: To ensure the quality of our Services and for other lawful purposes, we may
monitor or record calls between us (for example, your conversations with our customer service
or sales departments).
Authentication and Contact: You (the account holder) may password protect your account
information by establishing a personal identification number (―PIN‖). You may also set a backup
security question and answer in the event you forget your PIN. You agree to protect your PIN,
passwords, and other account access credentials like your backup security question from loss
or disclosure. You further agree that Sprint may, in our sole discretion, treat any person who
presents your credentials that we deem sufficient for account access as you or an authorized
user on the account for disclosure of information or changes in Service. You agree that we may
contact you for Service-related reasons through the contact information that you provide,
through the Services or Devices to which you subscribe, or through other available means,
including text message, email, fax, recorded message, mobile, residential or business phone, or
mail.
CPNI: As we provide telecommunications products and Services to you (the account holder), we
develop information about the quantity, technical configuration, type, location, and destination of
telecommunications products and Services you use, as well as some other information found on
your bill (―CPNI‖). Under federal law, you have the right and we have a duty to protect the
confidentiality of your CPNI. For example, we implement safeguards that are designed to
protect your CPNI, including authentication procedures when you contact us. For some
accounts with a dedicated Sprint representative, we may rely on contacting your pre-established
point of contact as the standard authentication measure.
Third-Party Applications: If you use a third-party application, the application may access,
collect, use, or disclose your personal information or require Sprint to disclose your
information—including location information (when applicable)—to the application provider or
some other third party. If you access, use, or authorize third-party applications through the
Services, you agree and authorize Sprint to provide information related to your use of the
Services or the application(s). You understand that your use of thirdparty applications is subject
to the third party‗s terms and conditions and policies, including its privacy policy.
Information on Devices: Your Device may contain sensitive or personal information (for
example, pictures, videos, passwords, or stored credit card numbers). Sprint is not responsible
for any information on your Device, including sensitive or personal information. If possible, you
should remove or otherwise safeguard any sensitive or personal information when your Device
Important Information for the LS720 202
is out of your possession or control, for example when you relinquish, exchange, return, or
recycle your Device. By submitting your Device to us, you agree that our employees,
contractors, or vendors may access all of the information on your Device.
Location-Enabled Services
Our networks generally know the location of your Device when it is outdoors and/or turned on.
By using various technologies to locate your Device, we can provide enhanced emergency 911
services and optional location-enabled services provided by us or a third party. Network
coverage or 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-enabled services.
You agree that any authorized user may access, use, or authorize Sprint or third party location-
enabled applications through the Services. You understand that your use of such location-
enabled applications is subject to the application‗s terms and conditions and policies, including
its privacy policy. If you activate location-enabled services for devices used by other authorized
users, you agree to inform the authorized user(s) of the terms of use for location-enabled
applications and that the Device may be located. For additional information on location-enabled
services, see our Privacy Policy at our website.
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 (for example, 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 interactive voice response 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. A lost or stolen Device does not reduce
or remove your Term Commitment. You will remain liable for any monthly recurring charges
associated with the Service on your Device after you notify us of the alleged loss or theft. You
agree to cooperate if we choose to investigate the matter (provide facts, sworn statements, etc.).
We may not waive any Early Termination Fees if you choose to terminate Services as a result of
loss or theft of your Device.

Disclaimer of Warranties
UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN WRITING OTHERWISE, WE MAKE NO
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (TO THE
EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
NONINFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE CONCERNING YOUR
SERVICES (INCLUDING YOUR DEVICE). WE DON‗T PROMISE UNINTERRUPTED OR
ERROR-FREE SERVICES AND DON‗T AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO MAKE WARRANTIES ON
OUR BEHALF.
You Agree That We Are Not Responsible For Certain Problems
You agree that neither we nor our subsidiaries, affiliates, parent companies, vendors, suppliers,
or licensors are responsible for any damages resulting from: (a) anything done or not done by
someone else; (b) providing or failing to provide Services, including, but not limited to,

information services; (g) information or communication that is blocked by a spam filter; (h)
damage to your Device or any computer or equipment connected to your Device, or damage to
or loss of any information stored on your Device, computer, equipment, or Sprint storage space
from your use of the Services or from viruses, worms, or downloads of malicious content,
materials, data, text, images, video, or audio; or (i) things beyond our control, including acts of
God (for example, weatherrelated phenomena, fire, earthquake, hurricane, etc.), riot, strike, war,
terrorism, or government orders or acts. You should implement appropriate safeguards to
secure your Device, computer, or equipment and to back-up your information stored on each.
You Agree Our Liability Is Limited – No Consequential Damages.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, OUR LIABILITY FOR MONETARY DAMAGES FOR
ANY CLAIMS THAT YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US IS LIMITED TO NO MORE THAN THE
PROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF THE SERVICE CHARGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE
AFFECTED PERIOD. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE WE LIABLE FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, MULTIPLE, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY
NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO PROVIDING OR FAILING TO
PROVIDE SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH A DEVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR COST OF REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
We Each Agree To First Contact Each Other With Any Disputes
We each agree to first contact each other with any Disputes (defined below) and provide a
written description of the problem, relevant documents and supporting information, and the
Important Information for the LS720 204
proposed resolution. We agree to contact each other as described in the ―Providing Notice to
Each Other Under The Agreement” section.
Instead Of Suing In Court, We Each Agree To Arbitrate Disputes
We each agree to arbitrate all Disputes between us, on an individual basis, not on a class-wide
or consolidated basis. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. In
arbitration, there‗s no judge or jury. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must honor the
terms and limitations in the Agreement and can award damages and relief, including any
attorneys‗ fees authorized by law. The arbitrator‗s decision and award is final and binding, with
some exceptions under the Federal Arbitration Act (―FAA”), and judgment on the award may be
entered in any court with jurisdiction.
We each also agree as follows:
(1) ―Disputes” are any claims or controversies against each other related in any way to or
arising out of in any way our Services or the Agreement, including, but not limited to,
coverage, Devices, billing services and practices, policies, contract practices (including
enforceability), service claims, privacy, or advertising, even if it arises after Services
have terminated. Disputes include claims that you bring against our employees, agents,
affiliates, or other representatives or that we bring against you. It also includes but is not limited
to claims related in any way to or arising out of in any way any aspect of the relationship
between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal
theory.
(2) If either of us wants to initiate a claim to arbitrate a Dispute, we each agree to send written
notice to the other providing a description of the dispute, a description of previous efforts to
resolve the dispute, all relevant documents and supporting information, and the proposed
resolution. Notice to you will be sent as described in the ―Providing Notice to Each Other Under
The Agreement” section and notice to us will be sent to: General Counsel; Arbitration Office;
12502 Sunrise Valley Drive, Mailstop VARESA0202-2C682; Reston, Virginia 20191. We each
agree to make attempts to resolve the dispute prior to filing a claim for arbitration. If we cannot
resolve the dispute within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the notice to arbitrate, then we each
may submit the dispute to formal arbitration.
(3) The FAA applies to this Agreement and arbitration provision. We each agree that the FAA‗s
provisions—not state law—govern all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.
(4) Unless we each agree otherwise, the Arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral
arbitrator and will take place in the county of the last billing address of the Service.
(5) The arbitration will be governed and conducted by (a) a neutral third party arbitrator selected
by each of us and based upon rules mutually agreed to by each of us or (b) JAMS. The JAMS
rules, including rules about the selection of an arbitrator, filing, administration, discovery, and
arbitrator fees, will be conducted under JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures.
The JAMS rules are available on its website at www.jamsadr.com. To the extent that this
―Dispute Resolution” section conflicts with JAMS‗s minimum standards for procedural fairness,
Important Information for the LS720 205
the JAMS‗s rules or minimum standards for arbitration procedures in that regard will apply.
However, nothing in this paragraph will require or allow us or you to arbitrate on a class-wide or
consolidated basis.
(6) WE EACH AGREE THAT WE WILL ONLY PURSUE ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL
BASIS AND WILL NOT PURSUE ARBITRATION ON A CLASS-WIDE OR CONSOLIDATED
BASIS. We each agree that any arbitration will be solely between you and Sprint (not brought
on behalf of or together with another individual‘s claim). If for any reason any court or arbitrator
holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate
doesn‘t apply and the dispute must be brought in court.
(7) We each are responsible for our respective costs relating to counsel, experts, and witnesses,
as well as any other costs relating to arbitration. However, we will pay for the arbitration
administrative or filing fees, including the arbitrator fees. Otherwise the JAMS Comprehensive
Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-
Dispute Clauses, Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness regarding costs and payment
apply.
Exceptions To Our Agreement To Arbitrate Disputes
Either of us may bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, this arbitration
provision does not prevent you from bringing your dispute to the attention of any federal, state,
or local government agency that can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.
No Class Actions
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE
DISPUTES ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS; THAT IS, TO EITHER JOIN A CLAIM WITH THE
CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY LAWSUIT,
ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING.
No Trial By Jury
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Sprint and our subsidiaries, affiliates, parent
companies harmless from any claims arising out of or relating to your actions, including, but not
limited to, your use of the Service and any information you submit, post, transmit, or make
available via the Service; failing to provide appropriate notices regarding location-enabled
services (see ―Location-Enabled Services” section); failure to safeguard your passwords,
backup question to your shared secret question, or other account information; or violating this
Agreement or any policy referenced in this Agreement, any applicable law or regulation, or the
rights of any third party.
Important Information for the LS720 206
Providing Notice To Each Other Under The Agreement
Except as the Agreement specifically provides otherwise, you must provide us notice by calling
or writing us as instructed on your invoice. We will provide you notice through one or more of
the following: in your bill, correspondence to your last known billing address, to any fax number
or e-mail address you‗ve provided us, by calling you on your Device or any other phone number
you‗ve provided us, by voice message on your Device or any other phone number you‗ve
provided us, or by text message on your Device.
Other Important Terms
Subject to federal law or unless the Agreement specifically provides otherwise, this Agreement
is governed solely by the laws of the state encompassing the billing address of the Device,
without regard to the conflicts of law rules of that state. If either of us waives or doesn‗t enforce
a requirement under this Agreement in an instance, we don‗t waive our right to later enforce that
requirement. Except as the Agreement specifically provides otherwise, if any part of the
Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement remains in full force and
effect. This Agreement isn‗t for the benefit of any third party except our corporate parents,
affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, and predecessors and successors in interest. You can‗t assign
the Agreement or any of your rights or duties under it. We can assign the Agreement without
notice. You cannot in any manner resell the Services to another party. The Agreement and the
documents it incorporates make up the entire agreement between us and replaces all prior
written or spoken agreements—you can‗t rely on any contradictory documents or statements by
sales or service representatives. The rights, obligations and commitments in the Agreement
that—by their nature—would logically continue beyond the termination of Services (for example,
those relating to billing, payment, 911, dispute resolution, no class action, no jury trial) survive
termination of Services.
