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.
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.
Surcharges
You agree to pay all Boost 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 and may vary depending upon the location of
the transaction or the primary account address of the payment method or 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
Any dispute to a charge that we assess you must be made in writing within 60 days of the date we deduct
the charge from your account balance. You accept all charges not properly disputed within the above time
period.
About Account Balances
To keep your account active and avoid service interruptions, you must either maintain a positive account
balance at all times or pay any applicable subscription charges (depending on your service plan). Account
balances are not transferable, redeemable for cash, or refundable; that is, once you make payment on
your account, you are provided a credit on your account that can only be used to pay for our Services
during the effective period, which varies depending on your service plan. Positive account balances are
forfeited if they are not used within the effective period specified in your service plan (if you properly
replenish your account balance during the effective period, the effective period restarts).
If you do not
use your account balance during the effective period, your account balance will expire and you
will not be entitled to a refund or service credit
. Your Service will be interrupted if you fail to maintain a
positive account balance or timely pay applicable subscription charges for each effective period. When
this service interruption occurs, you will be given a period of time (which varies depending on your service
plan) to make any appropriate payments on your account.
