or by your activation or use of the Service through the Equipment or
otherwise.
a. Credit, Debit and Check Card Payments. Upon accepting your
Order Form, Clearwire will bill you for the Equipment (defined
below), installation fees, activation fees, and a prorated fee for

fees), and to continue such payments in advance of each subsequent
three-month period for the Service during the Initial Term and any
Renewal Term(s). Clearwire may discontinue Cash Payments for the
Service at any time in its sole discretion. Except to the extent
prohibited by law, your Deposit may be commingled with other funds
and will not earn interest. You may not use the Deposit to pay your
bills or delay payment, but Clearwire may apply the Deposit to any
fees or charges that you owe Clearwire. If Service is terminated for
any reason, any Deposit will be applied toward amounts you owe
Clearwire at or after termination. Any remaining Deposit will be
returned to you at your billing address. You are responsible for
providing correct and updated billing address information to
Clearwire. Except to the extent prohibited by law, Clearwire will

interest for your benefit), but you forfeit to us any portion of the
money left after one (1) year. You also forfeit any money that the
U.S. Mail cannot deliver and returns to us. You agree to pay all of
the fees and charges described in the Agreement. In addition to the
charges for Service, you will be responsible for all applicable
federal, state, and local taxes, surcharges and fees applicable to
the Service. Fees and charges for Service are contained in the Order
Form, and may be modified by Clearwire with thirty (30) days written
notice to you, including notice by electronic mail. Your use or
ability to use the Service for more than twenty (20) days after
notice of any modified charges constitutes your agreement to accept
the modified charges. Delinquent accounts are subject to immediate
suspension or termination of the Service at the sole discretion of
Clearwire. In the event of such suspension or termination, all fees
and charges (including Early Termination Fees) will become
immediately due and owing together with any collection costs and/or
fees incurred by Clearwire, including attorneys’ fees, and Clearwire

commercially reasonable basis in advance of suspension, termination,
and collection actions, but you agree Clearwire is not required to
make contact prior to taking such actions. To reestablish Service

error or a problem relating to the Service. Subject to applicable
law, Clearwire will resolve all billing disputes in its sole
discretion.

your Service at any time in its sole discretion, if any charge to
your Card on file with Clearwire is declined or reversed, your Card
expires and you have not provided Clearwire with a valid replacement
Card, or in case of any other non-payment of account charges,
including not receiving full and timely Cash Payments. If Clearwire
terminates your Service for a Card that is declined, canceled or
expired, reversed charges or non-payment, or for failure to make
full and timely Cash Payments, you are still fully liable to
Clearwire for all fees and charges accrued before termination and
for all costs incurred by Clearwire in collecting such amounts, such
as (but not limited to) collection costs and/or fees, including
attorneys’ fees. Charges not honored by your Card issuer or Cash
Payment not fully and timely made will be considered delinquent, and
you agree to pay a late fee equal to 1.5% or $5 per month (or
portion of a month), whichever is greater, on any past due balances
until paid, subject to the highest amount permitted by law. Except
to the extent prohibited by law, this late fee may be charged

parties for reasonable business purposes. Upon receipt of adverse
credit information about you at any time, Clearwire reserves the
right to suspend or terminate Service to you or require a deposit
for Service, at our option.
23. Initial Term and Renewal Terms/Termination/Early
Termination Fee. You will maintain Service for the duration
of any minimum Initial Term (as set forth on the Order Form). If
during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term (defined below) you
decide to change to another Clearwire plan with different rates or
features, then you agree that Clearwire may restart the Initial Term
or any Renewal Term, as applicable, from the beginning of such
change in plan. After any Initial Term, Service will automatically
continue and will renew for additional consecutive one-year periods
or such other periods as set forth on the Order Form (each a
“Renewal Term”), unless terminated as provided in these Terms. You
may terminate the Service at the end of the Initial Term or at the
end of any Renewal Term, by contacting Clearwire’s Customer Care
department as set forth at www.clearwire.com and giving notice of
termination at least sixty (60) days in advance of the next
scheduled renewal date. In order for your notice of termination to
be effective, you must provide notice in writing to Clearwire at
Clearwire LLC, Attention: Customer Care Department, 5808 Lake
Washington Blvd NE, Suite #300, Kirkland, WA 98033, or such other
addresses that Clearwire may specify. If you terminate your Service
for any reason or your Service is terminated by Clearwire for any
violation of the Agreement prior to the end of the Initial Term or
any Renewal Term, you will be liable for an early termination fee of
$180, or such other early termination fee as may be specified on
your Order Form. Upon termination of this Agreement, unless you
purchased the Equipment as provided above, you will be responsible
for the costs and risks associated with returning the Equipment to
Clearwire. You must return the rented Equipment to Clearwire in good
working order, reasonable wear and tear excepted, in accordance with
Clearwire’s return policy set forth at www.clearwire.com. If you do
not immediately return the Equipment in good working order, you
shall owe Clearwire an amount of $300, which you agree is an
appropriate charge in light of the value of the Equipment. In such
cases, you agree that Clearwire may charge your Card account (if
applicable) $300 and that you otherwise agree to pay Clearwire the
$300 if a Cash Payment customer. Upon termination or expiration of
this Agreement for any reason, Clearwire and its suppliers reserve
the right to delete all your data, files, electronic messages or
other information that is stored on Clearwire’s or its suppliers'
servers or systems. Clearwire, its Affiliates and their suppliers
will have no liability whatsoever as the result of the loss of any
such data, names or addresses.
24. Termination/Suspension/Discontinuance and
Reactivation of Service. Clearwire reserves the right to
suspend or discontinue providing the Service generally, or to
terminate your Service, either in whole or in part, at any time in
its sole discretion. If Clearwire discontinues providing the Service
generally, or terminates your Service in its discretion without a
stated reason, you will only be responsible for charges accrued
through the date of termination, including a pro-rated portion of
the final month’s charges. If your Service is terminated for any
stated reason, including without limitation violation of the
Agreement, or because of any improper use of the Service or
Equipment (such as, but not limited to, your attempts to hack,
disrupt, or misuse the Service or your acts or omissions that
violate any Policy of Clearwire or of a third party provider to
which Clearwire is subject), you will be responsible for the full
month’s charges to the end of the current term, including without
limitation unbilled charges, plus the early termination fee set
forth in these Terms, all of which immediately become due and
payable. Clearwire may, but is not required to, reactivate your
Service after Service has been suspended or terminated in accordance
with this subsection. BEFORE SERVICE MAY BE REACTIVATED, YOU MUST
PAY TO CLEARWIRE ALL PAST DUE AMOUNTS AND LATE PAYMENT FEES PLUS A
REACTIVATION CHARGE PER ACCOUNT AND APPLICABLE TAXES. Clearwire may
modify the terms of Service before reactivating your Service and may
require you to provide us with a deposit.
