Data Services: Verizon Wireless charges you for all data and content sent or
received using our network (including any network overhead and/or Internet
Protocol overhead associated with content sent or received), as well as
resolution of Internet Protocol addresses from domain names. Sending or
receiving data using a virtual private network (VPN) involves additional VPN
overhead for which you will be charged. Please note that certain applications or
widgets periodically send and receive data in the background, without any action
by the user, and you will be billed for such data use. Applications may
automatically re-initiate data sessions without you pressing or clicking the SEND
or connect button. Data sessions automatically terminate after 24 hours. A data
session is inactive when no data is being transferred. Data sessions may seem
inactive while data is actively being transferred, or may seem active when the
data is actually cached and data is not being transferred. If you have a Data Only
plan and use voice service, domestic voice calls will be billed at $0.25/minute.
Verizon Wireless is implementing optimization and transcoding technologies in
our network to transmit data files in a more efficient manner to allow available
network capacity to benefit the greatest number of users. These techniques
include caching less data, using less capacity, and sizing the video more
appropriately for the device. The optimization process is agnostic to the content
itself and to the website that provides it. While Verizon Wireless invests much
effort to avoid changing text, image, and video files in the compression process,
and while any change to the file is likely to be indiscernible, the optimization
process may minimally impact the appearance of the file as displayed on your
device. For a further, more detailed explanation of these techniques, please visit
verizonwireless.com/vzwoptimizationwww.verizonwireless.com/global
.
Verizon Wireless strives to provide customers with the best experience when
using our network, a shared resource among tens of millions of customers.
To further this objective, Verizon Wireless has implemented Network
Optimization Practices designed to ensure that the overwhelming majority of data
customers aren’t negatively impacted by the inordinate data consumption of a
few users. If you use an extraordinary amount of data and fall within the top 5%
of Verizon Wireless data users, Verizon Wireless may reduce your data
throughput speeds when connected to a congested cell site. The reduction can
last for the remainder of the current bill cycle and the immediately following bill
cycle to ensure high quality network performance for other users at locations and
times of peak demand. For a further more detailed explanation of these
techniques please visit www.verizonwireless.com/networkoptimization
.
Data transfer amounts will vary based on application. If you download an audio
or video file, the file may be downloaded in sections or in its entirety; data
charges will apply to the portion downloaded, regardless of whether you listen to
or watch all of it. You may access and monitor your own data usage during a
particular billing period, including during the Return Period, by accessing
My Verizon online or by contacting Customer Service.

they could enable “bots” or similar routines (as set forth in more detail (ii)
below) or otherwise denigrate network capacity or functionality; (ii) “auto-
responders,”“cancel-bots,” or similar automated or manual routines that
generate amounts of net traffic that could disrupt net user groups or e-mail
use by others; (iii) generating “spam” or unsolicited commercial or bulk e-
mail (or activities that facilitate the dissemination of such e-mail); (iv) any
activity that adversely affects the ability of other users or systems to use
either Verizon Wireless’ services or the Internet-based resources of
others, including the generation of dissemination of viruses, malware, or
“denial of service” attacks; (v) accessing or attempting to access without
authority, the information, accounts or devices of others, or to penetrate,
or attempt to penetrate Verizon Wireless’ or another entity’s network or
systems; or (vi) running software or other devices that maintain
continuous active Internet connections when a computer’s connection
would otherwise be idle or “any keep alive” functions, unless they adhere
to Verizon Wireless” requirements for such usage, which may be changed
from time to time.
Verizon Wireless further reserve the right to take measures to protect our
network and other users from harm, compromised capacity or degradation in
performance. These measures may impact your service, and Verizon Wireless
reserves the right to deny, modify or terminate service, with or without notice, to
anyone Verizon Wireless believes is using Data Services in a manner that
adversely impacts the Verizon Wireless network. Verizon Wireless may
monitor your compliance, or other subscribers’ compliance, with these

the communications except as otherwise expressly permitted or required
by law. [See verizonwireless.com/privacy]
