DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION: By accepting delivery and making a call on your ReachOut Wireless™ handset you are agreeing to the condition that requires that certain disputes that may arise between you the subscriber and Nexus be resolved through Binding Arbitration instead of a court trial or in courts of general jurisdiction. The sole remedy for any dispute shall be binding arbitration on an individual basis, rather than by a jury trial or class actions. Binding Arbitration limits the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute. Binding Arbitration is on an individual basis exclusively and class arbitrations and class actions are hereby excluded as a remedy.

 

By accepting delivery and making a call on your ReachOut Wireless™ handset you agree that the parties (ReachOut Wireless™ and you the ReachOut Wireless™ subscriber) are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action and the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of any claim brought by you. This binding arbitration provision shall survive termination of your service with ReachOutWireless™ and you as the ReachOut Wireless™ subscriber agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between the parties. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to claims arising out of or based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, claims relating to advertising, or any other legal theory and claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class. 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 ReachOut Wireless™ AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING Further, unless both you and ReachOut Wireless™ 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. Either party (ReachOut Wireless™ or you the ReachOutWireless™ subscriber) who intends to seek binding arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to ReachOut Wireless™ must be sent to:
Nexus Communications, Inc., d/b/a 
ReachOut Wireless™
P.O. Box 247168
Columbus, OH 43224

 

The Notice must (1) contain a description of the facts and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) the specific relief the party is seeking. If ReachOut Wireless™ and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or ReachOutWireless™ may commence a binding arbitration proceeding. During the binding arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by either party shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which the other party is entitled. The binding arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by these terms and conditions. The only issues that are outside the scope of the arbitrator are issues, if any relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the filer's claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of any fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

Lifeline is a government assisted program that provides a monthly support that lowers the cost of monthly local wireline or wireless telephone service. An eligible customer may receive the federal Lifeline discount of $9.25 on either a wireline or wireless connection, but the discount is available for only one telephone connection per household.

STATEMENT OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR REACHOUT WIRELESSTM CALIFORNIA LIFELINE WIRELESS SERVICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

 

What is ReachOut WirelessTM California LifeLine wireless service for California residents?

 

ReachOut WirelessTM offers California LifeLine wireless service supported by the Federal Lifeline and California LifeLine Programs. These programs provide discounts on monthly telephone service to eligible households. The discounts can total up to $21.90 per month. Approval from the California LifeLine Administrator is needed before getting discounts under either of the programs.

 

Only one discount per household address is allowed, except that the California LifeLine discount will be provided on two lines to Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program participants or teletypewriter (TDD/TTY) users. Therefore, unless the special exception applies, if multiple wireless telephones are used by members of a household, the discount can only be for one of these phones. Additionally, if members of a household use both wireless telephone(s) and traditional, wireline telephone(s), the discount can either be for one of the wireless telephones or one of the traditional, wireline telephone lines, but not both.

 

What is a “household”?

 

For purposes of determining eligibility for California LifeLine telephone service, a "household" is any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. The household for which you are requesting government assisted telephone service must be your primary residence.

You may not be claimed as a dependent on another person’s income tax return.

 

How can I apply for ReachOut WirelessTM California LifeLine wireless service?

 

ReachOut WirelessTM will help you apply when you request wireless service, either at one of our retail locations or by contacting us on line at www.reachoutmobile.com or by telephone at 1-877-777-1914. You will need to provide us with certain identifying information, including the last four digits of your social security number, and if you are not already enrolled under the federal Lifeline or California LifeLine program with another service provider, you will also need to provide us with proof of eligibility. We will provide all of your information and documentation to the California LifeLine Administrator.

 

Acceptable documentation of program based eligibility includes: (1) the current or prior year's statement of benefits from a qualifying state, federal or Tribal program; (2) a notice letter of participation in a qualifying state, federal or Tribal program; (3) program participation document (such as a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) electronic benefit transfer card or Medicaid participation card, or a copy thereof with participant’s name clearly visible); and (4) another official document evidencing participation in a qualifying state, federal or Tribal program.

 

Acceptable documentation of income based eligibility includes (1) the front page of the prior year's state, federal, or Tribal tax return; (2) a current income statement from an employer or paycheck stubs for 3 consecutive months during the past 12 months; (3) a statement of benefits from Social Security, Veterans Administration, retirement/pension, or Unemployment/Worker's Compensation ; (4) federal or Tribal notice letter of participation in General Assistance, spousal support and child support orders; and (5) other official documents containing income information.

 

You may also choose to complete all or a portion of the application process without assistance from us. In that case, within a week after requesting service, you will be mailed an Application Form with a Personal Identification Number (PIN). In order to receive California LifeLine service, you must complete, sign, and submit the application to the California LifeLine Administrator along with any required income or program eligibility documents before the due date. You may also apply online. Follow the instructions in the application to apply online. Please be sure to sign your application if you are mailing it in. If you are submitting your application by mail, please be sure to send your completed and signed Application Form to:

 

California LifeLine Administrator

P.O. Box 8417

Westminster, CA 92684-8417

 

Once your application is approved, the California LifeLine Administrator will notify us and you, so that your California LifeLine wireless service can be activated.

 

How long can I keep ReachOut WirelessTM California LifeLine wireless service?

 

You will need to renew each year to keep California LifeLine wireless service. The California LifeLine Administrator will automatically send you a Renewal Form prior to the anniversary date of your service. You can remain on ReachOut WirelessTM California LifeLine wireless service by making sure you fill out and submit the Renewal Form before the due date. If you do not renew, you will lose your discounts and will be required to pay the regular, undiscounted rates for your wireless service until you reapply for California LifeLine service and your application is approved.

 

Your discounts will also be discontinued when you no longer meet the eligibility requirements. You must notify us or the California LifeLine Administrator within thirty days if you no longer meet the eligibility requirements. If you do not return the completed Renewal Form on time or we are notified by you or the California LifeLine Administrator that you are ineligible, ReachOut WirelessTM will stop providing discounted service to you. If your permanent residence changes, you must notify us within 30 days. If you are living in a temporary residence, you must notify us when you change your residence or every ninety days if your residence has not changed.

 

Can I still get California LifeLine wireless or wireline telephone service if I change providers?

 

Yes, you can keep getting California LifeLine wireless or wireline telephone service even if you change providers; however, the prices for services may differ from company to company. If you disconnect your existing service before selecting a new provider, you have 30 days after disconnecting service to let your new provider know that you want California LifeLine service. Then, the California LifeLine Administrator will simply transfer your eligibility for California LifeLine service to the new service provider and you will not need to re-apply. You do not need to notify your existing provider that you are changing to a new provider of California LifeLine service. However, unless you want to continue to receive service from your existing provider at non-discounted rates, make sure that you actually cancel your service with your existing provider after switching to a new provider.

 

When will I receive California LifeLine discounts on my ReachOut WirelessTM Service?

 

You will receive the discounts only after the California LifeLine Administrator has notified Reachout WirelessTM that you are eligible and you have completed an outbound call after having been notified of your eligibility.

 

If you are a new applicant for California LifeLine services, the California LifeLine Administrator must first determine that the Application Form is complete and correct and that your eligibility is properly verified.

 

Once you are approved to receive the discounted service, you will begin to receive the discounts as of the date of the first outbound call that you make following the eligibility determination.

 

Will the discounts be automatically applied as soon as I call ReachOut WirelessTM to begin the application process?

 

No, you will have to wait for the California LifeLine Administrator to notify ReachOut WirelessTM of your eligibility. In some cases, ReachOut WirelessTM receives notifications of eligibility almost immediately. In other cases, there may be a significant delay even after the completed application and all documentation of eligibility is submitted by ReachOut WirelessTM.

 

What are my choices of Reachout WirelessTM California LifeLine Wireless Service Plans?

 

Reachout WirelessTM offers a variety of California LifeLine wireless service plans, ranging from a free plan providing 1000 minutes of voice calling, plus 1000 text messages, per month, to plans that include, for an additional charge, unlimited voice calling and unlimited voice, and even data (Internet access). You select the plan that best meets your needs and budget, and you can change plans anytime or purchase additional voice, texting, and data usage as needed. To find out more, contact Reachout Wireless at 1-877-777-1914 or www.reachoutmobile.com.

 

What kind of handset do I get with Reachout WirelessTM California LifeLine service?

 

Reachout WirelessTM offers free handsets of varying makes and models. Handsets are refurbished and subject to a limited, thirty-day warranty. Handsets may only be used with Reachout WirelessTM service and cannot be activated with any other wireless provider. All Reachout WirelessTM subscribers may also purchase upgraded handsets, with no differentiation between LifeLine and other retail customers, in pricing or terms and conditions. To find out more, contact Reachout WirelessTM at 1-877-777-1914 or www.reachoutmobile.com.

 

What terms and conditions apply to Reachout WirelessTM California LifeLine Wireless Service and do I have to sign a contract?

 

Reachout WirelessTM offers California LifeLine wireless service on a prepaid basis, with never any requirement to sign a term service contract. You may always discontinue service for any reason at any time without penalty. Reachout WirelessTM does not require Reachout WirelessTM California LifeLine wireless customers to pay service deposits or activation fees, and does not impose early termination charges. The terms and conditions of service, which govern all aspects of Reachout WirelessTM service and your rights and obligations as a Reachout WirelessTM subscriber, are available before and after service activation on the Reachout WirelessTM website at www.reachoutmobile.com. Written copies of the terms and conditions are available before activation at retail locations where Reachout WirelessTM California LifeLine service is sold and at certain agencies or community-based organizations (CBOs) that are helping inform California residents of the availability of California LifeLine service. A written copy of the current terms and conditions are provided in writing to each subscriber at the time of service activation; however, the terms and conditions may change from time to time. Therefore, it is always important to check the Reachout WirelessTM website for the most recently-updated terms and conditions.

 

Are there any service issues related to wireless service?

 

Yes. It is very important to Reachout WirelessTM that you understand that there are potential coverage and service quality issues you may encounter if you select wireless service instead of traditional wireline (landline) service.

 

Reachout WirelessTM service uses radio transmissions and is therefore affected by various limitations. Coverage is not available everywhere. Quality of service may be affected by conditions beyond Reachout WirelessTM control, including atmospheric, geographic, or topographic conditions, or if your handset is damaged. We do not warrant or guarantee that service will be available at any specific time or geographic location, or that service will be provided without interruption. We may give credit for continuous service interruption of more than 24 hours on a case-by-case basis, if such interruption was reasonably within our control. The service coverage map is located on our website reachoutwireless.com. Please be aware however that the coverage map is an estimate of our coverage areas. Estimating wireless coverage and signal strength is not an exact science. There are gaps in coverage within our estimated coverage areas that, along with other factors both within and beyond Reachout Wireless’ control, may result in service interruptions, slower data speeds, or lower quality of service. Even when conditions are optimal, service will not always be available at all times or without interruption. For example, if a cellphone transmitter station loses commercial or back-up power, you may not be able to make a call even if your handset is fully charged and you are in your residence or another location where you can usually make calls.

 

Can I rely on wireless service in an emergency?

 

Reachout WirelessTM service includes free, unlimited access to 911 emergency services in compliance with current state and federal laws. However, you must be aware that wireless service may not always work well or even be available in an emergency.

 

If you take the handset with you when you are away from your residence, anyone who remains in your residence while you are away may not have the ability to dial 911 in an emergency.

 

Whether you are inside or outside your residence, poor mobile reception resulting from weather conditions, terrain, or gaps in service coverage may prevent you from completing an emergency 911 call. You also need to be aware that in order for your wireless service to work properly, the battery for the handset must be charged. If there is a prolonged power outage, you may not be able to keep your handset charged. Wireless subscribers are not being able to make or receive any calls if the handset is dead. If your handset battery is dead, you will not have the ability to dial 911 in an emergency.

 

Thus, there is no assurance that if you try to make a 911 call, it will be completed. Therefore you should never solely rely on your mobile phone for emergency calls, such as to 911.

 

Also, even if you complete a 911 call, emergency response personnel might not be able to determine your location. Wireless handsets can often be located using satellite signals or other special wireless technologies. However, the same types of conditions that can interfere with your ability to complete wireless calls can also interfere with these handset locating capabilities. For example, although you may be able to make an emergency call while indoors, your handset may not be able to connect to the satellite signal that is needed to locate you. Also, some emergency response agencies may not have the ability to utilize wireless locator technologies.

Therefore, you should always be prepared to provide your actual location when making an emergency call.

 

What can I do if I cannot get a good connection to wireless service in my residence or other location?

 

Reachout WirelessTM California LifeLine wireless customers are entitled to a voice-grade connection to the public telephone network. If you cannot obtain a voice-grade connection, you should notify Reachout WirelessTM immediately. We are required by California regulations to try to restore service. You may discontinue service without penalty if we cannot do so. In fact, you may discontinue service at any other time, for any reason, without penalty. However, if you discontinue service you will not be entitled to a refund for unused airtime under any plan or card.

 

Are there other potential disadvantages of wireless service?

 

While for many subscribers, Reachout WirelessTM service provides very substantial advantages over traditional wireline service, we want you to be informed of potential disadvantages of subscribing to California LifeLine wireless service instead of California LifeLine wireline service. Features that are available under wireline plans that may not be available with wireless service include the following:

 

All incoming calls are free with local wireline service. Under wireless calling plans, Inbound calls are treated the same as outbound calls. So unless an unlimited calling plan is selected, inbound calls are not free.

 

Wireline subscribers receive a free directory listing. Publicly available listings of wireless telephone numbers are not available.

 

Wireline subscribers receive a free white pages telephone directory. Wireless carriers do not provide free white pages telephone directories.

 

Wireline subscribers receive free Access to 800 or 800-like toll-free services. 800 or 800-like toll-free calls are treated the same as other calls under wireless calling plans. So, unless an unlimited calling plan is selected, 800 or 800-like toll-free calls are not free.

 

Wireline subscribers receive free access to 211, 311, 511, and 811 calling. Calls to 211, 311, 511, and 811 are treated the same as other calls under some wireless calling plans. So unless a Reachout WirelessTM 1000 minute or unlimited plan is selected, calls to 211, 311, 511, and 811 are not free.

 

Wireline subscribers may obtain free toll blocking service. This is not available with wireless service. However, wireless service provides uniform pricing for local and non-international long distance calls.

 

Wireline subscribers may obtain free access to toll control service. This is not available with wireless service. However, wireless service provides uniform pricing for local and non-international long distance calls.

 

Who can I contact in the event of a dispute regarding Reachout WirelessTM service or charges?

 

The terms and conditions for Reachout WirelessTM service govern the manner in which disputes can be raised and addressed. Unresolved questions or complaints regarding the California LifeLine program or compliance with the California LifeLine rules may be directed to:

Lifeline
Lifeline is a government subsidized program designed to help eligible low-income households receive home telephone service at a reduced rate. ReachOut Wireless™ applies the Universal Service Fund subsidy to an allotment of free airtime minutes and ReachOut Wireless™ provides the wireless handset at the company's expense. Instead of receiving a subsidized monthly telephone bill for Lifeline service, ReachOut Wireless™ converts the total amount of discounted service into minutes each month for one year.
