Five Towns Flip Mobile Service Terms and Conditions:
Effective December 2020.
These Terms and Conditions ("T&Cs") are a legally binding agreement between you and Five Towns Flip, a New Jersey based company, including its affiliates, assignees, and agents ("Five Towns Flip"). Please read these T&Cs carefully. They cover important information about the Five Towns Flip mobile phone services provided to you (the "Service"); your phone, handset, device, SIM card, data card, or other equipment or third party device which may be used with our Service (the "Devices"); and the fees, taxes, and other charges you pay us ("Charges"). These T&Cs include, among other provisions, fees for late payments, limitations of liability, agreements regarding privacy, and resolution of disputes by arbitration instead of in court.
Five Towns Flip reserves the right to change or modify any of these T&Cs at any time and in its sole discretion. Five Towns Flip will provide 14 days notice of any material changes by posting the revised T&Cs on our website, and will also attempt to provide direct notice to you by email or text. Five Towns Flip affiliate members are subject to additional terms as provided on the Five Towns Flip affiliate pages. These T&Cs do not alter the terms of the Affiliate Member Agreement, or any other agreement the user may have with Five Towns Flip.
You and any authorized users on your account will have access to account information and may be able to make changes to the account. If you give your personal account validation information to someone, they can access and make changes to your account. Those changes will be binding on you. Authorized changes may require your agreement to new or revised T&Cs. You must provide accurate and truthful information when setting up an account, maintain security of the account and password, and you agree to notify Five Towns Flip of any security breaches associated with your account. You agree to take responsibility for all activities that occur under this account.
1. Acceptance. Your Agreement with Five Towns Flip starts when you accept. You represent that you are at least 18 years old and you are legally authorized to enter into this Agreement. You accept your Agreement by doing any of the following: (a) giving us a written or electronic signature, clicking the acceptance box during the online enrollment process or telling us orally that you accept; (b) activating Service; (c) using your Service after you make a change or addition; (d) paying for the Service; (e) opening the box or package of a Device or sim card purchased from Five Towns Flip or any of its 3rd party partners or vendors ("Five Towns Flip Device") ; or (f) failing to activate Service within 30 days after the initial purchase (a purchase of a Five Towns Flip Device, unless returned within the Cancellation Period (as defined in Section 5)). IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT, THEN DO NOT DO ANY OF THESE THINGS AND IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICE.
2. Five Towns Flip Service, Five Towns Flip is an Authorized UVNV Reseller. The Service includes wireless mobile phone service in the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). This means the following: (a) voice service includes unlimited incoming calls and unlimited outgoing calls to any domestic U.S. phone number from inside the United States; (b) unlimited incoming text messages and unlimited outgoing texts to any domestic and select international mobile numbers (included international countries are listed below) from inside the United States, and picture and video messages within the United States; and (c) no additional charges regardless of the amount of data used within the United States. The Service may be offered at differing prices under different Service Plans, depending on the data speed you desire and other factors. Rate of speeds will reduce when the amount of data used exceeds the amount allotted under your Service Plan. Speeds reduce to a 2G data experience in these situations. In addition, when roaming domestically, speeds are usually limited to up to 2G speeds (approximately 128 Kbps). Data usage is reset monthly on varied dates and does not necessarily match the monthly billing date for that line. To know when this date is for your line, contact Five Towns Flip by email, phone or chat.
3. Service Availability. Coverage maps only approximate our anticipated wireless coverage area outdoors; actual Service area, coverage and quality may vary and change without notice depending on a variety of factors including network capacity, terrain and weather. Outages and interruptions in Service may occur, and speed of Service varies. You agree that we are not liable for problems relating to Service availability or quality.
4. Monthly Fees and Payment. Five Towns Flip provides the Service for a flat fee on a monthly, pay-in-advance basis under various Service Plans. Service begins when you pay the monthly payment for the first month of Service, which includes the Five Towns Flip Mobile Service Fee and the taxes and other assessments described in Section 6 and on our website at Five Towns Flip.com. Subsequent monthly payments are due by your monthly payment date, which occurs on each monthly anniversary of the date on which the first monthly payment is made. If you fail to make your monthly payment when it is due, your Service will be suspended until the payment is received. If you fail to make your monthly payment within 30 days after it is due, your Service will be terminated and your phone number will be lost. Fees are not refunded or prorated if Service is terminated before your next payment date. If your Service is terminated, your account will be cancelled and you will lose your Five Towns Flip mobile phone number. You will be required to re-enroll as a new customer in order to resume Service. If your Service is suspended for non-payment your monthly payment date will not change (for example, if your original billing cycle started on the 1st and you reactivate Service on the 15th day of the month your billing cycle will remain on the 1st). In the event that your Account is terminated, you will be required to sign up as a new customer and we may not be able to offer you your existing number. You may change your payment method or other payment options by clicking “Edit Billing Preferences” when you log in to your fivetownsflip.com portal. Usage details for each line is available upon request.
5. Cancellation and Returns. Cancellation of Service: You can cancel a new line of Service WITHIN SEVEN DAYS of activation, or 30 days in California (the "Cancellation Period"). A partial, prorated refund will only be issued upon request, for lines cancelled within the Cancellation Period. Device Refunds and Restocking Fees: To return any Five Towns Flip Device you acquired at the time of enrollment, (excluding SIM cards which do not qualify for a refund,) you must return the device in its package with all original contents, undamaged and in good working condition with no material alterations to the device's hardware or software. If you return your device in a damaged, altered or destroyed condition, we may decline to accept the return of the device or charge you the cost of repairing the device, plus any shipping and handling charges.
6. Taxes, Fees, and Surcharges. You agree to pay all taxes, fees and surcharges (the "Fees") imposed by governments or governmental entities on you or us as a result of our providing the Service to you. We may not give advance notice of changes in Fees. To determine Fees, we will use the street address you identified as your Place of Primary Use ("PPU"). If you did not identify the correct PPU, or if you provided an address (such as a PO box) that is not a recognized street address, you may be assigned a default location for tax purposes. Any dispute of the jurisdiction assigned must be submitted within 60 days of the billing in which the Fees were assessed. Fees include (a) Government Taxes & Fees.These Fees are typically imposed by jurisdictions directly on you, the user of the telecommunication services. Such Fees include, but are not limited to, sales tax; and (b) Other Surcharges. These surcharges include, but are not limited to, taxes that Five Towns Flip incurs to provide the Service but are not government taxes or fees imposed directly on our customers that we must collect by law. Examples include, but are not limited to, federal or state Universal Service fees, regulatory fees, excise taxes and gross receipts taxes. These surcharges will apply whether or not you directly benefit from the programs, activities or services included in the surcharge. The components and amounts of the Fees are subject to change without notice.
7. Unpaid Charges. If we do not receive payment in full for a Five Towns Flip Device or sim, for the Service, or for any other amount owed to us by you (for example, in the case of a credit card chargeback in which a charge is disputed after you have received a Five Towns Flip Device from us), you may be charged a late fee of the greater of 1.5% per month (18% annually) or $5 per month, subject to the maximum allowed by law. We may use all lawful means to collect the amount owed and seek the return of any Device or service for which payment has not been received. If you fail to pay fees or any other amounts owed to Five Towns Flip under this agreement and Five Towns Flip refers your accounts(s) to a third party for collection, then Five Towns Flip will also charge you a collection fee at the maximum percentage permitted by applicable law, but not to exceed 18%, to cover Five Towns Flip' collection-related costs. If we accept late or partial payments, we do not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe, including late fees. If any payment is dishonored or returned for any reason, we may charge you the maximum amount allowed under applicable law.
8. Your Right to Dispute Charges. Unless otherwise provided by law, you agree to notify us of any dispute regarding amounts owed to us within 60 days after the date you first incur the disputed amount. If you do not notify us of your dispute in writing within this time period, you may not pursue a claim in arbitration or in court. If you accept a credit, refund or other compensation or benefit to resolve a disputed amount, you agree that the issue is fully and finally resolved. For unresolved disputes see Section 26. To contact or notify us, see Section 15.
Credit Card Chargebacks
If we have charged your registered payment method for a charge that we deem is authorized and valid under these Terms, and your credit card company or other payment provider subsequently withholds or revokes such payment to us because the charge has been disputed by you (a "Chargeback"), we reserve the right to suspend your access to the affected Services until the Chargeback is reversed or in the case of a billing dispute, the billing dispute is resolved as set forth in these Terms.
9. Our Rights to Make Changes. Your Service is subject to our business policies, practices, and procedures, which we can change without notice. AS PROVIDED ABOVE, WE CAN CHANGE ANY TERMS IN THE AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME.
10. International Long-Distance Calls. Although Five Towns Flip attempts to block all long distance calling, certain territories cannot be blocked and you are therefore fully responsible for any charges that are incurred, plus 5% taxes and fees. Five Towns Flip reserves the right to pursue as well as bill the credit card you have on file.
11. Your Phone Number, Your Device, and Compatibility with Other Networks. Except for any legal right you may have to port or transfer your phone number, you will acquire no ownership rights in any number assigned to you. The wireless telecommunications networks used to provide the Service (the "Five Towns Flip Network") are owned and operated by other licensed entities, not Five Towns Flip. Your Five Towns Flip Devices may not be compatible with the network and services provided by another service provider. Devices not purchased through Five Towns Flip or its affiliates ("Non-Five Towns Flip Devices") must be compatible with the Five Towns Flip Network or UVNV, Inc. for use with the Services, and such devices may not work on the Five Towns Flip Network. A Five Towns Flip Device is approved by Five Towns Flip only for use with Five Towns Flip Service. Please note that in order to port out your number, your account must be in active status (not closed or suspended). Lines that are in suspended status due to non payment or any other reason or not active are NOT eligible to be ported out.
Network. At times we may remotely change software, systems, applications, features or programming on your Device without notice to address security, safety or other issues that impact the Five Towns Flip network or your Device. These changes will modify your Device and may affect or erase data you have stored on your Device, the way you have programmed your Device, or the way you use your Device. We may offer you changes to systems, applications, features or programming remotely to your Device; you will not be able to use your Device during the installation of the changes even for emergencies.
12. Roaming. Your Device may connect to another provider's network ("Off-Net") even when you are within the Five Towns Flip coverage area. You must use your Device predominantly within the Five Towns Flip Network coverage area. If your Off-Net voice usage or messaging usage exceeds an acceptable level, it may be necessary to terminate your service. We may terminate your Service in our discretion and without prior notice if you no longer reside in a Five Towns Flip Network coverage area, if your Off-Net usage makes it uneconomical for Five Towns Flip to provide Service to you, or if required under Five Towns Flip’ arrangements with its service providers. For data use while roaming, the limit is 50MB. Please note that for international roaming, the origination and/or number dialed may or may not be available. This data is conveyed by 3rd party roaming partners and is not always provided. In the event that the information is NOT provided, you are still responsible for the calls made/received in terms of billing. The duration and time stamp can always be provided upon request.
13. Important Emergency and 9-1-1 Information. When making a 9-1-1 call, always state the nature of your emergency and provide both your location and phone number, as the operator may not automatically receive this information. Five Towns Flip is not responsible for failures to connect or complete 9-1-1 calls or if inaccurate location information is provided. 9-1-1 service may not be available or reliable and your ability to receive emergency services may be impeded. We may use a variety of information and methods to determine the location of a 9-1-1 call, including Global Positioning Satellites, or our wireless network. Even with this information, an emergency operator may not be able to locate you in order to provide emergency services. Other third party entities are involved in connecting a 9-1-1 call and Five Towns Flip does not determine the public safety agency to which your 9-1-1 call is routed. If you are porting a phone number to or from us, we may not be able to provide you with some Services, such as 9-1-1 location services, while the port is being implemented. Furthermore, Five Towns Flip' cloud phone service does not provide access to 911 or emergency services and therefore neither Five Towns Flip Communication nor its officers or employees may be held liable for any claim, damage, or loss (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party user of relating to the fact that Five Towns Flip' cloud phone service does not provide access to 911 or emergency services. You waive all claims or causes of action, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), or any other form of liability, arising from or relating to the fact that Five Towns Flip' cloud phone service does not provide access to 911 emergency service.
14. Data Usage and Other Features. Permissible and Prohibited Uses: The Five Towns Flip Network is managed to facilitate the proper functioning of the Network as a whole and to provide a good experience to the majority of our customers. Services that require consistent high speeds, such as video calling, may, particularly at times and in areas of network congestion, result in reduced speeds for other services. Additionally, we may implement other network management practices, such as caching less data, using less capacity, and sizing video more appropriately for a Device to transmit data files more efficiently. These practices are agnostic to the content itself and to the websites that provide it. While we avoid changing text, image, and video files in the compression process when practical, the process may impact the appearance of files as displayed on your Device. Downloadable Content and Applications: Most content or applications (e.g. downloadable or networked applications, wallpapers, ringtones, games, and productivity tools) ("Content & Apps") are not sold by Five Towns Flip, and Five Towns Flip is not responsible for the Content & Apps, including download, installation, use, transmission failure, interruption, or delay, or any content or web site you may be able to access through the Content & Apps. Unless otherwise stated, any support questions for these Content & Apps must be directed to the third party seller. Five Towns Flip has done its best to block access to premium (billable) services, however should you incur any charges, Five Towns Flip will charge the credit card on file, or collect from you, the price incurred, plus 5% taxes and fees. You may be able to restrict access and certain services by implementing controls by calling Five Towns Flip. When you use, download or install Content & Apps sold by a third party seller, you may be subject to license terms between you and third parties. When you use, download, or install Content & Apps that you purchase from Five Towns Flip, the Content & Apps are licensed to you by Five Towns Flip and may be subject to additional license terms between you and third parties. You may not transfer, copy, distribute, or reverse engineer any Content & Apps, or alter, disable or circumvent any digital rights management security features embedded in the Content & Apps. Content & Apps may not be transferable from one Device to another Device. Some Devices or Content & Apps may continue to have contact with our network without your knowledge, which may result in additional Charges. Software on your Device may automatically shut down or limit the use of Content & Apps or other features or Services without warning. Five Towns Flip is not responsible for any third party content, advertisements, or websites you may be able to access using your Device. Use of Information: You agree that Five Towns Flip may update your Content & Apps remotely, or may disable or remove any Content & Apps at any time. Refer to Five Towns Flip' Privacy Policy below, as well as the Content & Apps creator/owner's privacy policy for information regarding their use of information collected when you download, install, or use any third party Content & Apps. We are not responsible for any transmission failure, interruption, or delay related to Content & Apps, or any content or website you may be able to access through the Content & Apps.

All fees and expenses of arbitration will be divided between you and Five Towns Flip in accordance with the AAA Rules, except that Five Towns Flip will reimburse you for the amount of the filing fee in the event you prevail in the arbitration. Each party will bear the expenses of its own counsel, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of evidence. Except as otherwise provided in these T&Cs, an arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys’ fees. If for any reason this arbitration provision is deemed inapplicable or invalid, or to the extent this arbitration provision allows for litigation of disputes in court, you waive to the fullest extent permitted by law any claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Unless Five Towns Flip and you agree otherwise, the location of any arbitration shall be New Jersey. Except where prohibited by law, Five Towns Flip and you agree that no arbitrator has the authority to award punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages. Neither you nor Five Towns Flip shall disclose the existence, contents, or results of any arbitration except to the extent required by law. Judgment on the award rendered may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER. WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER. If a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
27. Enforceability and Assignment. A waiver of any part of the Agreement in one instance is not a waiver of any other part or any other instance and must be expressly provided in writing. If we don't enforce our rights under any provisions of the Agreement, we may still require strict compliance in the future. Except as provided in Section 26, if any part of the Agreement is held invalid that part may be severed from the Agreement. You may not assign the Agreement or any of your rights or duties under it without our written consent. We may assign all or part of the Agreement or your debts to us without notice. The Agreement is the entire agreement between us and defines all of the rights you have with respect to your Service or Device, except as provided by law, and you cannot rely on any other documents or statements by any sales, service representatives, Five Towns Flip Members, UVNV, Inc. or other parties. If you purchase a Device, services or content from a third party, you may have a separate agreement with the third party; Five Towns Flip is not a party to that agreement. The original version of these T&Cs is in English. To the extent there are conflicts between the English version and any other language version, the English version will control. Any determination made by us pursuant to these T&Cs, shall be in our sole reasonable discretion. The following paragraphs continue after termination of our T&Cs with you: 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28.
28. Choice of Law. These T&Cs are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of New Jersey without regard to the conflicts of laws rules of that state. Foreign laws do not apply. Arbitration or court proceedings must be in Middlesex County, New Jersey. If any provision of the T&Cs is invalid under the law of a particular jurisdiction, that provision will not apply in that jurisdiction.

Five Towns Flip Privacy Policy
Effective Date: December 2020
Five Towns Flip ("Five Towns Flip") has instituted a comprehensive set of privacy policies and procedures to ensure that its customers and website visitors' privacy is never compromised. The purpose of this privacy notice is to inform our customers and website visitors of the type of information that Five Towns Flip, or a credit card processing partner or other vendor acting on our behalf, collects, how the information is gathered, how it is utilized, how long it is retained and how customers and visitors can restrict its use or disclosure.
The primary focus of Five Towns Flip' privacy policy is to ensure that all customers and website visitors' personal information, which we term "customer identifiable information," is kept private at all times. As the term suggests, "customer identifiable information" is information which can be associated with a specific individual or entity, including, for example, a customer's name, date of birth, address, telephone number, e-mail address and sensitive information such as credit card information.
The collection of customer identifiable information is a critical element in Five Towns Flip' day-to-day operations in order to conduct business and offer services and to maintain the highest level of customer service for all customers and website visitors.
Five Towns Flip endeavors to safeguard the customer identifiable information obtained from its website users and visitors (collectively, "customers") from any unauthorized intrusions.
General
We collect personal and non-personal information from customers based upon our business relationship and the nature of the products and services we provide. The types of information we may collect include account information (such as your name, address, home or alternate telephone number), certain financial information relating to any products and/or services that you purchase directly from us (including credit card information, security code and billing address), telephone numbers you call and that have called you and your service history,
amongst other information. We also collect and maintain technical information about the equipment you use with our service including serial numbers, SIM card numbers, etc.
In some instances, Five Towns Flip may collect information that is not "customer identifiable information." Some examples of this type of information include the type of Internet browser you are using, the type of operating system you have configured on your computer, and the domain name of the website and/or Internet Service Provider from which you are linked
to our website. Five Towns Flip primarily uses this information for market research and optimizing its systems in order to deliver the best customer experience possible.
Five Towns Flip may collect and use customer identifiable information for various purposes, including but not limited to, billing purposes such as the auto-refill program, to provide or change service, to anticipate and resolve problems with your service, or to inform you of products and services that better meet your needs. This means that Five Towns Flip may use your customer identifiable information in conjunction with information available from other sources, to market new services that may be of interest to you. When
Five Towns Flip uses third parties to perform services on its behalf, such as marketing, fulfillment services and shipping to customers, Five Towns Flip will request that such third parties protect your customer identifiable information consistently with this privacy policy. Five Towns Flip will not, however, disclose your customer identifiable information to third parties who want to market products to you without your express, written or equivalent electronic consent. Five Towns Flip will not sell, trade, or disclose to third parties any customer identifiable
information derived from the registration for, or use of, a Five Towns Flip product or service -- including customer names and addresses -- without the consent of the customer.
Five Towns Flip may, however, use and/or disclose customer identifiable information to a third party:
• to investigate and help prevent potential fraud, other unlawful activity or activity that threatens the network;
• as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process;
• when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or
respond to a government request;
• to any other third party with your prior consent to do so;
• if Five Towns Flip is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via a prominent notice on our Website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.
We will retain your information only as long as needed for business, tax and/or legal
purposes. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. We will destroy your information once it is no longer needed.
Declining e-mail offers
Five Towns Flip will only send our customers e-mails regarding promotional offers or other news if a customer grants us permission to do so and provides an email address. A customer has the right to choose not to receive Five Towns Flip e-mail direct marketing communications
by opting-out or unsubscribing. A customer can opt-out or unsubscribe from our e-mail list by clicking on the unsubscribe link found at the bottom of every message or promotion delivered electronically to our customers. Upon such election, Five Towns Flip (a) will not contact that customer directly with Five Towns Flip promotional messages, and (b) will not use customer identifiable information obtained from that customer's registration to contact that customer with Five Towns Flip product or service messages.
Security
Five Towns Flip has gone to great lengths to implement technology and security features to safeguard the privacy of your customer identifiable information from unauthorized access or improper use. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Five Towns Flip, based on its judgment, will continue to enhance its security procedures as new technology becomes readily available. However, since there is no such thing as "perfect Internet security,"
Five Towns Flip cannot guarantee 100% security. If you have any questions about security on our website, you can contact us at support@farrockawayfivetownsflip.com.
