Terms and Conditions


Please read this Agreement carefully before using your Wireless Service. By using the Service you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE CONSTITUTES AGREEMENT TO ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

This is an agreement ("Agreement") between you (the "Customer"), and The Sienna Group ("Sienna") for cellular radio telecommunications service ("Service"). The words "we", "us", "our" or "Sienna" refers to The Sienna Group. This Agreement is binding when Service is activated to your specific telephone number(s) (each, a "Number"). The term "Unit" means the cellular receiving and transmitting equipment which is programmed with the Number. You represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have the legal capacity to accept this Agreement.

1. TERM/TERMINATION
Cellular telephone service shall not be used in furtherance of any violation of the law or in any manner that unreasonably interferes with the use and enjoyment of such services by others. The Customer understands that Sienna may restrict, temporarily discontinue, or terminate without notice all lines of cellular service furnished to the customer and collect all monies owed to us without incurring any liability whatsoever in those instances where we determine in our sole discretion that:

a. The Customer is using or has used cellular Service to engage in illegal or undesirable activity or is otherwise interfering with another's use of cellular Service.
b. The Customer has not timely paid all of the charges owed to Sienna.
c. The Customer's usage of cellular Service exceeds levels expected or customarily incurred under the rate plan in which the Customer is enrolled.
d. The Customer has acted to defraud Sienna.
e. The Customer is engaging in, or has engaged in, abusive or harassing behavior towards the agents, employees or customers of Sienna.

The Customer may cancel this Agreement at any time for any reason. If you do cancel, you must notify us in writing. Even though the account is canceled, you are liable for all charges up to the date of cancellation. We may require a reactivation charge to resume Service after termination. You remain responsible for payment of all charges incurred under this Agreement through the date of cancellation. If you fail to perform your obligations, you will reimburse us for all expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in the enforcement of this Agreement and we may keep any charges prepaid by you. These remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all remedies provided by law. Any failure by us to strictly enforce this Agreement will not waive our right to require compliance with this Agreement.

2. MODIFYING YOUR ACCOUNT
If you would like to make changes to your Service, please contact us. Some changes may be subject to limitations and/or additional charges. We may modify this Agreement, including the Service charges or terms and conditions, upon notice. You must pay any additional charges from the date of the modification, even though you paid for the Service in advance. If you do not agree to the modifications, you may terminate this Agreement by giving us written notice. If we discontinue a rate plan or you are not eligible for a rate plan, we may change your Service to a different rate plan upon notice. If you misrepresent your eligibility for any rate plan, you agree to pay us the additional amount you would have been charged under the most favorable rate plan for which you are eligible.

3. DEPOSITS
We may require a deposit in which you grant us a security interest to secure your payment of all amounts when due. You must promptly pay your bills even if you have given us a deposit. Unless otherwise required by law, deposits may be commingled with other funds and will not earn interest. We may require an additional deposit upon reevaluation of your usage or credit. You may either (1) pay the increased deposit or (2) terminate the Agreement. When this Agreement is terminated, your deposit may be used to pay any amounts due and you are responsible for any remaining charges.

4. BILLING AND PAYMENT OF CHARGES
All billing will be monthly, payable in advance, except for local airtime, roaming, overage and toll charges. Payment of the Customer's cellular Service bill, including all applicable taxes, is due as indicated on the bill. Balances which remain unpaid on the next bill date will be subject to a late fee. In addition, if Sienna refers the Customer's account to an attorney or agency for collection, the Customer agrees to pay Sienna's cost of collection, including reasonable agent and attorney fees. You will pay all Service charges for all calls processed through the Unit or the Number. Service charges may include charges for services provided by other vendors for calls that are sent from or received by the Unit, such as toll charges for calls outside our local service area, roaming or network charges for calls that are sent from or received by the Unit when it is outside our local calling area, incoming and outgoing text messaging and any additional current or future feature charges or third-party charges (directory assistance, voice mail, etc.). You agree we may add our own charges for processing third-party charges. Any taxes, costs or charges imposed on us as a result of providing the Service or the Unit will be added to your charges. For answered calls, air time charges are from the time you press SEND until the time you press END. Recurring monthly fees and non-recurring Service charges will be billed as soon as possible, some in advance, some in arrears. The Activation fee is non-refundable.

Standard Text Messaging allows you to send text messages to, or receive text messages from, other mobile phones. Standard Text Messages are either charged per use or in a bundled plan. Premium Text Messaging allows you to send and receive text messages to participate in game shows, online promotions and/or sweepstakes for a charge determined by the sponsor. Premium Text Message rates historically vary from $0.99 - $9.99 per use. This feature is blocked by default for all mobile phones unless specifically requested by end user at which time end user is responsible for surcharges that may occur. Picture Messaging is available on select handsets and requires a data package and charge per use sending or receiving. Internet and Data activities are subject to mobile phone capabilities and applicable data charges.

Billing cycle end dates may change from time to time. If you have authorized charges to a credit card, or bank account no additional notice or consent will be required before billing. Payments of all charges, including disputed charges, must be received by the due date shown on the invoice. Disputes of charges must be in writing and received no later than the due date to: The Sienna Group, P.O. Box 531640, Cincinnati, OH 45253-1640. We will make good faith efforts to promptly resolve disputes. You agree that (1) time is of the essence for all your payments; (2) it would be impractical to fix the amount of our damages if you fail to pay promptly; and (3) if you do not pay all charges by the due date, unless prohibited by law, you shall pay us the maximum late fee allowed by law, of any balance due, payable for every month the said amount remains unpaid. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked "Paid in Full") will not waive our rights thereunder. We will assess a twenty-five dollar ($25) fee for any check returned for insufficient funds. Any remaining funds in excess of ten dollars ($10) will be returned to you at your last-known address within 90 days after termination. If the postal service returns the funds to us as undeliverable, they will become our property.

Billing of usage for calls, messages, data or other Services (such as usage when roaming on other carrier's networks) may occasionally be delayed. Such usage charges may appear in a later billing cycle, and will be deducted from Anytime or Peak monthly minutes or other Service allotments for the month when the usage is actually billed, and may result in additional charges for that month. Those minutes will be applied against your Anytime or Peak monthly minutes in the month in which the calls appear on your bill.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE IF NONPERFORMANCE IS CAUSED BY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY OTHER CARRIER, EQUIPMENT FAILURE OR MODIFICATION, ACTS OF GOD, STRIKES, FIRE, WAR, RIOT, GOVERNMENT ACTIONS, OR CAUSES BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL.
