Connections Optimizer
The Connections Optimizer is a tool that automatically selects the best mobile network for your phone,
including "remembered" Wi-Fi networks.
About Connections Optimizer
The Connections Optimizer helps you manage and enhance your data experience by finding and
connecting to "remembered" Wi-Fi networks on your phone. Remembered Wi-Fi networks are networks
with which you have previously chosen to connect. Active Wi-Fi connections may offer improved
performance and generally improve battery life while allowing you to talk on the phone and use data at
the same time.
The Connections Optimizer works by searching for available "remembered" Wi-Fi networks. If you do not
leave your Wi-Fi antenna on all the time, you will only notice the Connections Optimizer operating at
certain times of the day in a small number of locations on the network. Your Wi-Fi antenna will conserve
battery by scanning for connections periodically (not continuously), and if no connection is achieved, the
antennas will be turned off. You may also manually turn the antennas off during the scan period.
To facilitate quality assurance and enable feature enhancements, information is collected about your
battery levels, Wi-Fi and network connections and usage. No personal information is collected.
Enable Connections Optimizer
1. Tap > > Settings > More... > Mobile networks > Connections optimizer. You will
see a disclaimer.

Important Safety Information
This booklet contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your
phone. Failure to read and follow the information provided in this booklet may result in serious bodily
injury, death, or property damage.
General Precautions
Warning: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
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).
● 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 device, only Sprintauthorized 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-
Important Information for the LGLS751 125
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.
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.
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.
Important Information for the LGLS751 126
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
Your LGLS751 has an MX/TX rating.
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants),
users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than
others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The
wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device
users to find phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box. The ratings are not
guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user‘s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing
device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully.
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 and are likely to generate less interference
to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to
hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may
help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference
noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is
considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for best use. In the above example, if a
hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the
two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage‖ while using their
hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. ―Normal usage‖ in this context is defined as a signal quality
that‘s acceptable for normal operation. The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T
mark is intended to be marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries
Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating
and measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19
standard. To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone is maintained, secondary
transmitters such as Bluetooth and WLAN components must be disabled during a call. For information
about hearing aids and digital wireless phones, visit:

Note: HAC statement 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. It is important to try the different features of
this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if
you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for
information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult
your service provider or phone retailer.
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
sprint.com/returns for details.) More information about hearing aid compatibility may be found at: fcc.gov,
fda.gov,and accesswireless.org.
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:
3. Tap > > Settings > Display > Screen timeout.
4. 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.
Important Information for the LGLS751 128
When you‘re talking on a cell phone, it‘s recommended that you turn the BT (Bluetooth) or WLAN mode
off for HAC.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery‘s performance.

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. This power can range from 0.006 watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
130
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
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 0.39 inches
(1cm) between the user‘s body and the back of the phone. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1cm) must be maintained between the
user‘s body and the back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing
metallic components may not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1cm)
separation distance between the user‘s body and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for
typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at fcc.gov.
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)
This model phone meets the Government‘s requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless
phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
of the U.S. Government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by
scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive
reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human
body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating
can be well below the maximum value. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels to use only the power required to reach the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The
tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model.
Important Information for the LGLS751 131
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/after searching on FCC ID ZNFLS751.
To find information that pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID number
which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove
the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular
phone. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

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 will 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
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
Sprint provides a variety of Services, some of which require you to maintain Your Services on a month to
month basis or for a minimum term, usually 1 or 2 years (―Term Commitment‖). If your Agreement
contains a 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 terminate early for good reason (for example, violating the payment or other terms
of the Agreement) but such Early Termination Fee will be prorated based on your remaining Term
Commitment. Early Termination Fees are a part of our rates. Any Term Commitment, the length of the
Term Commitment, and the applicable Early Termination Fee amounts and proration 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 monthto-month basis under the then-current Terms and Conditions and
Service policies. 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.
Important Information for the LGLS751 137
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. If you lose your eligibility for a particular rate plan or if a particular rate plan is
no longer supported or available, we may change your rate plan to one for which you qualify. 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 adversely affected without incurring an Early Termination Fee only if: (a) you
call us within 30 days after the effective date of the change; (b) you specifically advise us that you
wish to cancel Services because of a material change to the Agreement that we have made; and (c)
we fail to negate the change after you notify us of your objection to it. If you do not notify us and
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) 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
Important Information for the LGLS751 138
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 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.
Important Information for the LGLS751 139
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 & Email Address
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, email 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
may have software programming lock that protects certain of the handset‘s operating parameters against
unauthorized reprogramming. If your device has a software programming lock, and 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.
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 sprint.com. 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
Important Information for the LGLS751 140
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 guarantee 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.). For information on whether roaming applies, see your service plan details.
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, 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
Important Information for the LGLS751 141
our networks‘ performance 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,
non-transferable 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.
Fees, Activation & Miscellaneous Charges
Based on our Policies, we may charge activation, prepayment, reactivation, program, or other fees to
establish, change, or maintain Services. Certain transactions may also be subject to a charge (for
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 perday 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
Important Information for the LGLS751 142
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. Call time for a single
call may be subject to a maximum duration and may be automatically terminated if the maximum duration
is exceeded. Rates that vary based on the time of access will be determined based on the location of the
network equipment providing service and not the location of your Device or your Device‘s area code (if
applicable).
Push-to-Talk Charges: Charges for push-to-talk 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 push-
totalk call and ends approximately 6 seconds after completion of a communication to which no participant
responds. Subsequent pushto-talk communications are considered new calls. Charges apply for the
entire period of time the push-to-talk call is connected to our network. Depending on your plan,
nationwide, international, or group push-to-talk calls may use the local push-to-talk minutes in your plan
and result in additional or different charges. Responses to call alert transmissions are treated as new
push-to-talk transmissions even when responding within 6 seconds of receiving the alert. Push-to-talk
billing methods are subject to change as we introduce new push-to-talk 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 KB, 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 may be subject to an additional charge.
Unless prohibited by law, other charges (for example, data Services or taxes and surcharges) will not
Important Information for the LGLS751 143
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 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 Sprint surcharges (―Surcharges‖), which may include, but are not limited to: Federal
Universal Service; Regulatory and Administrative charges; gross receipts charges, and other charges.
Surcharges are not taxes, and we are not required by law to assess them. They are part of our
rates we choose, at our discretion, to collect from you, to recover certain costs and are kept by us.
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
amount 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, because 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.
Important Information for the LGLS751 144
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 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 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 you make to us or we make to you (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 thirdparty 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
third-party applications is subject to the third party‘s terms and conditions and policies, including its
privacy policy. Be sure that you have reviewed and are comfortable with the third party‘s policies before
using its application on your device.
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
Important Information for the LGLS751 145
on your Device, including sensitive or personal information. If possible, you should remove or otherwise
safeguard any sensitive or personal information when your Device 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.
If you exchange, return, or recycle your Device through us, we typically attempt to erase all data on your
Device, but you must remove all data from your Device before you provide it to us.
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 locationenabled applications and that the Device may be located.
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 applicable 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
Important Information for the LGLS751 146
PARTICULAR PURPOSE CONCERNING YOUR SERVICES (INCLUDING YOUR DEVICE AND ANY
SOFTWARE OR APPLICATIONS ON YOUR DEVICE). WE DON‘T PROMISE UNINTERRUPTED OR
ERROR-FREE SERVICES AND DON‘T AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO MAKE WARRANTIES ON OUR
BEHALF. SPRINT PROVIDES ALL SOFTWARE AND APPLICATIONS ON AN ―AS IS‖ BASIS WITH ALL
FAULTS, ERRORS, AND DEFECTS.
You Agree That We Are Not Responsible For Certain
Problems
You agree that neither we nor our parent, subsidiary, or affiliate companies, nor our vendors, suppliers, or
licensors are responsible for any damages, delay, interruption or other failure to perform resulting from: (a)
anything done or not done by someone else; (b) providing or failing to provide Services, including, but not
limited to, deficiencies or problems with a Device or network coverage (for example, dropped, blocked,
interrupted Services, etc.); (c) traffic or other accidents, or any health-related claims relating to our
Services; (d) Data Content or information accessed while using our Services; (e) an interruption or failure
in accessing or attempting to access emergency services from a Device, including through 911,
Enhanced 911 or otherwise; (f) interrupted, failed, or inaccurate location 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, weather-related 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 That 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 AND ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY; IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS
In those rare instances where your concern is not resolved to your satisfaction through calls to our
customer care, you and Sprint each agree to try to resolve those disputes in good faith after you provide
written notice of the dispute as set forth below. If the dispute is not resolved, you and Sprint agree that the
dispute will be resolved through individual binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of courts of
general jurisdiction.
Important Information for the LGLS751 147
Mandatory Arbitration and Waiver of Class Action
Instead of suing in court, you and Sprint agree to arbitrate all Disputes (as defined below) on an
individual, non-representative, basis. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and
Sprint are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action or representative
action. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted.
In arbitration, there is no judge or jury. Instead Disputes are decided by a neutral third-party arbitrator in a
more informal process than in court. In arbitration, there is limited discovery and the arbitrator‘s decision
is subject to limited review by courts. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must honor the terms
of the Agreement and can award damages and relief, including any attorneys‘ fees authorized by law.
"Disputes" shall include, but are not limited to, 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 the claim arises after Services have terminated. Disputes
also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you or an authorized or unauthorized user of the
Services or Devices bring against our employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; (b) you bring
against a third party, such as a retailer or equipment manufacturer, that are based on, relate to, or arise
out of in any way our Services or the Agreement; or (c) that Sprint brings against you. Disputes also
include, but are not limited to, (i) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the
relationship between you and Sprint, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation,
advertising claims or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before this Agreement or out of a prior
Agreement with Sprint; (iii) claims that are subject to on-going litigation where you are not a party or class
member; and/or (iv) claims that arise after the termination of this Agreement.
Dispute Notice and Dispute Resolution Period
Before initiating an arbitration or a small claims matter, you and Sprint each agree to first provide to the
other a written notice (―Notice of Dispute‖), which shall contain: (a) a written description of the problem
and relevant documents and supporting information; and (b) a statement of the specific relief sought. A
Notice of Dispute to Sprint should be sent to: General Counsel; Arbitration Office; 12502 Sunrise Valley
Drive, Mailstop VARESA0202-2C682; Reston, Virginia 20191. Sprint will provide a Notice of Dispute to
you in accordance with the ―Providing Notice To Each Other Under The Agreement‖ section of this
Agreement. Sprint will assign a representative to work with you and try to resolve your Dispute to your
satisfaction. You and Sprint agree to make attempts to resolve the Dispute prior to commencing an
arbitration or small claims action. If an agreement cannot be reached within forty-five (45) days of receipt
of the Notice of Dispute, you or Sprint may commence an arbitration proceeding or small claims action.
Arbitration Terms, Process, Rules and Procedures
(1) Unless you and Sprint 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. The arbitration will be governed
by either: (a) rules that we mutually agree upon; or (b) the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules &
Procedures (the ―JAMS Rules‖), as modified by this agreement to arbitrate, including the rules about the
filing, administration, discovery and arbitrator fees. The JAMS rules are available on its website at
jamsadr.com. Notwithstanding any JAMS Rule to the contrary or any other provision in arbitration rules
chosen, by agreement, to govern the arbitration, we each agree that all issues regarding the Dispute are
delegated to the arbitrator to decide, except that only a court (and not the arbitrator) shall decide any
disagreements regarding the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate.
Important Information for the LGLS751 148
(2) The Federal Arbitration Act (―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. To the extent that this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer
Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards for Procedural Fairness (the ―Minimum
Standards‖), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply. However, nothing in this paragraph will
require or allow you or Sprint to arbitrate on a class-wide, representative or consolidated basis.
(3) The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking
relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party‘s individual claim. YOU
AND SPRINT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN
INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS OR
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Sprint expressly agree otherwise, the
arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person‘s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any
form of a representative or class proceeding. If any portion of this provision is found to be unenforceable,
then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
(4) We each are responsible for our respective costs, including our respective counsel, experts, and
witnesses. Sprint will pay for any filing or case management fees associated with the arbitration and the
professional fees for the arbitrator‘s services.
(5) An arbitrator‘s award will be a written statement of the disposition of each claim and will also provide a
concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions which form the basis of the award.
The arbitrator‘s decision and award is final and binding, with some limited court review under the FAA,
and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
(6) As an alternative to arbitration, we may resolve Disputes in small claims court in the county of your
most recent billing address. In addition, this arbitration agreement does not prevent you from bringing
your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the
law allows, seek relief against Sprint on your behalf.
No Trial By Jury and No Class Action
IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY
WAY PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE
CLAIM IS AN ACTION, COUTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER COURT PROCEEDING, WE EACH AGREE
THAT TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL OR CLASS
ACTION AND WE EACH UNCONDITIONALLY (1) WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND (2)
WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS, INCLUDING JOINING A
CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACTITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Sprint and our subsidiaries, affiliates, parent companies,
vendors, suppliers, and licensors 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 LGLS751 149
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 email 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.
Contacting You Regarding Billing and Collections
You expressly authorize, and specifically consent to allowing Sprint and any of Sprint‘s agents to contact
you in connection with any and all matters relating to unpaid past due charges you owe Sprint. You agree
that, for attempts to collect unpaid past due charges, Sprint and any of its agents may contact you at any
mailing address, telephone number, cellular phone number, email address, or any other electronic
address that you have provided, or may in the future provide, to Sprint. You agree and acknowledge that
any email address or any other electronic address that you provide to Sprint is your private address and
is not accessible to unauthorized third parties. For attempts to collect unpaid charges, you agree that in
addition to individual persons attempting to communicate directly with you, any type of contact described
above may be made using, among other methods, pre-recorded or artificial voice messages delivered by
an automatic telephone dialing system, pre-set email messages delivered by an automatic emailing
system, or any other pre-set electronic messages delivered by any other automatic electronic messaging
system.
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, unless we agree to the
assignment. 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.
