PART 1 Terms of Service

1. Requirements: AT&T Messages requires that You be an AT&T Wireless subscriber or other qualified subscriber and that You have a compatible smartphone ("Phone"). As an AT&T Messages subscriber, You will also be provisioned with AT&T's Address Book as available for Your Phone.

2. Charges: You will be charged per Your messaging plan for any Message that You send or receive. Billable messages include text messages, picture and video messages, voice text messages, and forwarded voicemails ("Messages"). Messages will be charged when sent or received, whether read or unread, solicited or unsolicited. AT&T does not guarantee delivery. The Application will temporarily interrupt any active Wi-Fi connection only when necessary to verify Your account credentials via the cellular network. During the verification process, any data that you send or receive in connection with either the Application (including for verification) or any other applications will be sent or received over the cellular data network and will count against your data plan. If Your company pays for the charges associated with AT&T Messages, such charges will be billed to Your company, unless Your company or Your company's telecom manager did not authorize AT&T Messages for You, in which case You shall be responsible for such charges.

3. Price Changes: AT&T reserves the right to change its prices or to institute a charge where there currently is no charge. We will inform You in advance of any price increase or the institution of any charge for AT&T Messages. If You do not agree to these price changes or the institution of the charge, Your sole remedy is to cancel and stop using AT&T Messages before the change takes place. If You continue to use AT&T Messages after the price change or price institution has taken effect, You will be deemed to have agreed to the price increase or price institution. You agree to pay all charges when due.

4. International: Additional charges apply when sending Messages from the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to another country over the wireless network. When roaming internationally, delivery of voicemail and voice text messages to the Application on Your Mobile Device(s) will incur international roaming data charges if data is turned "on" and You are not connected to a Wi-Fi network. Also, additional charges apply when sending Messages from foreign countries and U.S. territories other than Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands over the wireless network. In addition, if You are not connected to a Wi-Fi network and the data function on Your Mobile Device(s) is turned "on", the Application on Your Mobile Device(s) will perform certain administrative transactions, which will also incur international data roaming charges.

5. Turning Off the Data Function of Your Mobile Phone. You acknowledge that if You turn off the data function of Your Phone, You will not receive picture and video messages; and, unless Your Phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, You will also not be able to view / listen to voice text messages or voicemails from Your Phone's Application, nor will Your Phone's Application be able to sync with AT&T Messages on the web. You will also not be able to view, from the AT&T Messages User Interface on the Web, the Notifier, or on Your Mobile Device(s), any text messages that were sent to You after You turned off data on Your Phone, unless Your Phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network. Even if the data function of Your Phone is turned off, You may access the audio portion of Your voicemail from Your Phone using a Telephone User Interface. (If You are roaming, roaming rates may apply.)

6. Voicemail: For new subscribers as of September 6, 2012, please note that if you listen, read, or delete a voicemail message from the AT&T Messages application, the corresponding voicemail message will not be available to listen to via a voice call to the voicemail system. Deleting a message via a voice call to the voicemail system, will cause that voicemail to be deleted from the AT&T Messages application.

7. Storage: All Messages You send or receive, including call logs, will be stored in AT&T Messages application storage (the cloud), unless You delete them. Please realize that uninstalling the AT&T Messages application does not delete messages that have been stored in the AT&T Messages application storage (the cloud), and that You need to call AT&T Care at 1-800-331-3300 or 611 from Your Mobile Device to delete Your messages.

You acknowledge and agree that even though You delete Messages, including call logs, Your Messages and call logs may be retained on AT&T's and its suppliers', licensors' and collaborators' systems and could be produced if required by law, court order, subpoena, or other lawful process.

AT&T reserves the right to delete Messages and call logs and to establish: limits as to how many Messages and call logs can be stored, how long such Messages and call logs will be stored, and whether or not there is a charge for storing such Messages and call logs. If AT&T decides to charge for storage, AT&T will notify You prior to implementing such charges. Your continued use of AT&T Messages after such limits are established or after AT&T notifies You of such charges, constitutes Your consent to be bound by those limits or charges. If You do not consent to such limits or such charges, Your only remedy is to terminate Your use of AT&T Messages, notwithstanding any provision of these Terms or any other applicable agreement between You and AT&T.

AT&T is not obligated to store Messages, call logs, and/or other information maintained or transmitted through AT&T Messages. You agree that AT&T, its licensors, and suppliers have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the deletion or failure to store any Messages, call logs, or other information maintained or transmitted through AT&T Messages.

If a company or other entity is the responsible party for Your Messages, for example where a company or entity or other family member is responsible for paying for Your wireless charges or is otherwise liable for Your wireless charges, You authorize us to share Your account information, and all Messages, call logs, and content within AT&T Messages with the responsible party or its authorized agents.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

IF YOU ARE NOT AN AT&T WIRELESS SERVICE SUBSCRIBER, THIS LICENSE IS SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THIS SECTION 5.

Summary:

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by calling our customer service department at 1-800-331-0500. In the unlikely event that AT&T's customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint You may have to Your satisfaction (or if AT&T has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with You after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under this License will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. For any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $75,000, AT&T will pay all costs of the arbitration. Moreover, in arbitration You are entitled to recover attorneys' fees from AT&T to at least the same extent as You would be in court.

In addition, under certain circumstances (as explained below), AT&T will pay You more than the amount of the arbitrator's award and will pay Your attorney (if any) twice his or her reasonable attorneys' fees if the arbitrator awards You an amount that is greater than what AT&T has offered You to settle the dispute.

a. Arbitration Agreement.

i. AT&T and You agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:

  • claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;
  • claims that arose before this License or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
  • claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which You are not a member of a certified class; and
  • claims that may arise after the termination of this License.

For purposes of this Section 5.a only, references to "AT&T," "You," "Your" and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of this Application, or of services or devices under this License or prior agreements between us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement does not preclude You from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, including, for example, the Federal Communications Commission. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on Your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this License, You and AT&T are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This License evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this License.

ii. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to AT&T should be addressed to: Office of Dispute Resolution, AT&T, 1025 Lenox Park Blvd., Atlanta, GA 30319 ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If AT&T and You do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, You or AT&T may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by AT&T or You shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which You or AT&T is entitled. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at att.com/arbitration-forms.

iii. After AT&T receives notice at the Notice Address that You have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse You for Your payment of the filing fee, unless Your claim is for greater than $75,000. (The filing fee currently is $125 for claims under $10,000 but is subject to change by the arbitration provider. If You are unable to pay this fee, AT&T will pay it directly upon receiving a written request at the Notice Address.) The 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"), as modified by this License, 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. (You may obtain information that is designed for non-lawyers about the arbitration process at http://att.com/arbitration-information.) The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this License. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for the court to decide. Unless AT&T and You agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of Your billing address. If Your claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If Your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Except as otherwise provided for herein, AT&T will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought in the Demand 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 all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, You agree to reimburse AT&T for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise Your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if You initiate an arbitration in which You seek more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules.

iv. If, after finding in Your favor in any respect on the merits of Your claim, the arbitrator issues You an award that is greater than the value of AT&T's last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then AT&T will:

  • pay You the amount of the award or $10,000 ("the alternative payment"), whichever is greater; and
  • pay Your attorney, if any, twice the amount of attorneys' fees, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that Your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing Your claim in arbitration ("the attorney premium").

If AT&T did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, You and Your attorney will be entitled to receive the alternative payment and the attorney premium, respectively, if the arbitrator awards You any relief on the merits. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney premium at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

v. The right to attorneys' fees and expenses discussed in paragraph 5.a.iv supplements any right to attorneys' fees and expenses You may have under applicable law. Thus, if You would be entitled to a larger amount under the applicable law, this provision does not preclude the arbitrator from awarding You that amount. However, You may not recover duplicative awards of attorneys' fees or costs. Although under some laws AT&T may have a right to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in an arbitration, AT&T agrees that it will not seek such an award.

vi. 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 AT&T 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 AT&T 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. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

vii. Notwithstanding any provision in this License to the contrary, we agree that if AT&T makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) while this License is in effect, You may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the Arbitration Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, You are agreeing that You will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision.
