THE COMPANY MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT ITS SERVICES AND DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE OR NONINFRINGEMENT. THE COMPANY DOES NOT AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO MAKE A WARRANTY ON THE COMPANY’S BEHALF AND YOU MAY NOT RELY ON ANY STATEMENT OF WARRANTY AS A WARRANTY BY THE COMPANY.

Credit Review and Payment Policy
Unless Customer prepays for services or provides a credit card and written authorization to automatically bill, account will initially be restricted to $75.00 of credit. Thereafter limit shall be changed at the sole discretion of the Company. Monthly payments are due on the described "Due Date," located on Customer's monthly STARFONE invoice. In the event that payment is not received by STARFONE on or before the "Due Date," STARFONE will impose a late fee on Customer's outstanding unpaid balance at a rate equal to 1.5% of such balance each month until past due amounts are paid. If Customer account is sent to collections then an additional $25.00 collection’s fee will be added to the current balance. Customer is responsible for payment of all charges associated with STARFONE's billed Service, including applicable late fees. In the event of a dispute regarding Customer's invoice, Customer must contact STARFONE to inform them of the concern. During the resolution period of such dispute, payment must be timely made on all undisputed amounts. In the event Customer's account is fully suspended by STARFONE and then reinstated, Customer will be assessed a $10.00 reinstatement fee per account. If Customer's payment is returned unpaid by its bank for insufficient funds, STARFONE may re-present Customer's check and assess Customer a $15.00 fee, not to exceed any state regulatory limitations. Payments may take up to 5 business days to reflect on your account.

Handling of Certain Specific Credits
1. If your account has been closed but has been closed for less than 12 months but has a credit balance remaining, the Company will transfer the credit to another of your accounts, if there is one, upon your request. If you do not have another account and there is a credit balance amount, the Company will mail you a check for the balance, provided that you make your request within 12 months of your account being closed. All requests made after 12 months from account closure will be denied. 2. No credit allowances will be made for: a. Interruptions caused by your negligence or the negligence of others authorized by you to use your service including the dialing of a wrong number. b. Interruptions due to the failure of power, equipment, systems, or services not provided by the Company. c. Interruptions during any period when you have released the service to the Company for maintenance or rearrangement purposes, or for the implementation of your order. d. Interruptions during periods when you elect not to release the service for testing or repair and continue to use it on an impaired basis. e. Non-completion of calls due to network busy conditions. f. Interruptions not reported to the Company. An interruption period begins when you report to the Company that the service has been interrupted and release it for testing and repair. An interruption period ends when the service is operative again. If you report the service to be inoperative but decline to release it for testing and repair, the service is deemed to be impaired, but not interrupted. If you elect to use another means of communication during the period of interruption, you must pay the charges for the alternative service used.

Rates and Charges
Pricing of Service is based on prevailing local and long distance rates or tariffs at the time pricing is proposed, and is subject to change by STARFONE at any time. In the event that any local telephone company, long distance provider, mobile phone (cellular) service provider, regulatory agency, legislative body or court modifies or creates regulations or laws regarding charges and/or fees that increase the costs for STARFONE to provide Service, STARFONE will pass such increases on to the Customer with a price increase.

For billing purposes, the length of each call is rounded to the next higher full minute. If the computed charge for a call includes a fraction of a cent, the fraction is rounded to the nearest whole cent. If the computed charges for taxes and surcharges include a fraction of a cent, the fraction is rounded to the nearest whole cent.

Charges for calls that originate from any payphone, hospital, hotel or prison in the U.S. or the U.S. territories and are carried over the Company’s network will include a $0.80 charge. This charge will be in addition to applicable basic charges and other surcharges.

Cellular Phone Charge: Charges for calls that are carried over the Company’s network and terminate on a cellular phone will include a surcharge in addition to the basic charges and Surcharges.

Taxes: All taxes, tax-like charges, and tax-related surcharges are referred to collectively as “Tax(es).” The Company may elect to impose and collect such Taxes, unless otherwise constrained by court order or direction. You agree to pay all Taxes imposed. If the Company has collected Taxes and a challenged Tax is found to have been invalid and unenforceable, the Company, in its sole discretion, will either reduce service rates for a fixed period of time in the future in order to flow-through to customers an amount equivalent to the amounts collected, or it will credit or refund such amounts to affected customers (less its reasonable administrative costs), if the amounts collected were retained by the Company or if they were delivered to the jurisdiction and returned to the Company, or it will negotiate an arrangement with the jurisdiction to provide a future benefit for customers in that jurisdiction. 1. If you provide the Company with a duly authorized tax exemption certificate, the Company will exempt you in accordance with law, effective on the date the Company receives the certificate. 2. Taxes based on the Company’s net income will be the Company’s sole responsibility. 3. If you are required by the laws of any foreign tax jurisdiction to withhold income or profit taxes from a payment, within 90 days of the withholding, you will provide the Company with official tax certificates documenting remittance of the taxes. The tax certificates will be in a form sufficient to document qualification of the taxes for the foreign tax credit allowable against the Company’s U.S. corporation income tax, and will be accompanied by an English translation. Upon receipt of the tax certificate, the Company will issue you a credit for the amounts represented thereby.

Federal Universal Service Fee (“FUSF”): 15.3% for the second quarter of 2010, this rate is determined quarterly by the Federal Communications Commission. This tax will change every quarter and needs to be checked at: http://www.FCC.gov/omd/contribution-factor.html. For further information on Federal Universal Service Fee or any Federal Taxes please call FCC at 1-888-225-5322.

Additional Surcharges: The Company may adjust its rates and charges or impose additional rates and charges in order to recover amounts it is required or permitted by governmental or quasigovernmental authorities to collect from others or pay to others in support of statutory or regulatory funds, fees, or programs (“Governmental Charges”). Examples of such Governmental Charges include, but are not limited to, Universal Service funding, utility and other fees imposed on communications providers, and compensation payable to payphone service providers for use of their payphones to access the Company’s service.
