Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction USAPhone.org is a service of Surge Phone Wireless LLC (“SurgePhone”) and Torch Wireless (“Torch”). The following Terms and Conditions apply to Surge Phone and Torch services, products, subsidiaries, parent company, affiliates, and mobile phones. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. By accessing or using our Site, purchasing, activating, and/or using any SurgePhone or Torch products, or services in any way, You (“You”) are agreeing to comply with these Terms and Conditions, including any policies and guidelines incorporated by reference (referred to collectively as the “Terms and Conditions”). These Terms and Conditions are a legally binding Agreement between You and SurgePhone and Torch.

Any changes or modifications to these Terms and Conditions are effective and will be binding upon You when posted on our website at USAPhone.org. Because these Terms and Conditions are subject to change at any time, You should always check our website for the most current version.

When You accept these Terms and Conditions, You represent that You are at least 18 years of age and that You meet the eligibility standards for Surge/Torch/Torch service.

2. Our Right to Make Changes These Terms and Conditions may change at any time, including the prices for SurgePhone and Torch products and/or services without notice or obligation. Unless expressly prohibited by law, we reserve the right to modify or cancel this service or your account or take corrective action at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, your violation of any provision of these Terms and Conditions without notice or obligation. Your right to use our service is subject to our business policies, practices and procedures, rates and these Terms and Conditions, which we may change at any time.

Further, we may remotely change your phone’s software, applications, or programming without notice. This could affect information stored on your phone, your phone’s programming, and how You are able to use your phone.

All aspects of the Service, including, Plan rates, offerings, features, functionality and other product specifications are subject to change without notice or obligation. Unless prohibited by law, we reserve the right to modify, change, or cancel any part of your service at any time including but not limited to rates, charges, how we calculate charges, discounts, coverage, technologies used to provide services, or your Terms and Conditions without notice or obligation.

3. Mobile Telecommunications Services Airtime may be used for domestic calling and for related services as provided in these Terms and Conditions. SurgePhone and Torch provide service for personal use only. Service may not be transferred to any third party or shared among multiple individuals.

You may not use our service in a manner that interferes with another customer’s use of our service. Our ability to provide good service may be impaired when customers place an abnormally high number of calls, send or receive an unusually high number of messages, or repeatedly place calls of unusually long duration, when compared to typical usage by other customers on similar service plans. Such atypical usage suggests that a mobile phone is being used other than for personal use in violation of these Terms and Conditions. SurgePhone and Torch has safeguards to ensure that its customers do not use the service in a manner inconsistent with personal, non-commercial use, including terminating or suspending service to the customer violating this policy. All plans and features may change or be discontinued at any time without notice.

4. UNLIMITED Services:  UNLIMITED DOES NOT MEAN UNREASONABLE USE. For any Service that includes unlimited features, “unlimited” does not mean unreasonable use. UNLIMITED voice, text, and data services are provided solely for dialog between two individuals and for normal, non-commercial use. Other uses have a disproportionate impact on network resources and our ability to manage our network efficiently and are therefore considered unreasonable. UNLIMITED services may not be used for conference calling, 3-way calling, call forwarding, monitoring services, data transmissions, transmission of broadcasts, transmission of recorded material, or other connections that do not consist of uninterrupted live dialog between two individuals. If SurgePhone and Torch finds that You are using an UNLIMITED service offering for anything other than dialog between two individuals, SurgePhone and Torch may at its option terminate your service or change your plan to one with no UNLIMITED usage components. SurgePhone and Torch reserve the right to cancel or deactivate Service without notice, in order to protect the Carrier’s network from harm due to any cause including, without limitation, the excessive and/or improper use of SurgePhone and Torch service. SurgePhone and Torch reserve the right to deny or terminate Service, without notice, to anyone SurgePhone and Torch believe is using SurgePhone and Torch service in any manner prohibited above or whose usage, in SurgePhone and Torch’s sole discretion, adversely impacts the Carrier’s network or customer service levels. SurgePhone and Torch will presume You are engaging in a prohibited use in violation of these Terms and Conditions if in SurgePhone and Torch’s sole opinion, You are placing an abnormally high number of calls, or repeatedly placing calls of unusually long duration, or if your talk, text or Mobile Web usage is harmful or disruptive to the Carrier’s network or services. If we determine, at our sole discretion, that You are using SurgePhone and/or Torch’s service in violation of the Terms and Conditions, or in any other manner that we deem to be unreasonable or excessive, then we may terminate individual calls, decline to renew your service, and/or offer You a different service plan with no unlimited usage component. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SurgePhone and Torch reserve the right to deny service, throttle, deactivate or cancel existing service to anyone for any reason at any time, in SurgePhone and Torch’s sole discretion.

You agree not to use SurgePhone and Torch service in any way that is illegal, fraudulent or abusive, as determined by SurgePhone and Torch in its sole discretion. You may not alter any of the hardware or software on your SurgePhone and Torch phone for any purpose. We may change your mobile phone’s software, applications or programming remotely and without notice. This may affect stored data or other personal information or programming of SurgePhone and Torch Surge/Torch/Torch phones may not be purchased in bulk or sold to third parties.

Local phone numbers may not be available in certain markets. Wireless services use radio transmissions and are therefore affected by technological limitations. Coverage is not available everywhere. Quality of service may be affected by conditions beyond our control, including atmospheric, geographic, or topographic conditions, or by You damaging your mobile phone. 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, and You notify SurgePhone and Torch within seven days of the interruption.

Any statements or maps provided by us, our agents, or dealers about coverage are only intended to provide high-level estimates of our coverage areas when using our service outdoors under optimal conditions and do not mean that service will be available under all circumstances, at all times or without interruption. 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 our control, may result in service interruptions, slower data speeds, or lower quality of service. You should therefore never solely rely on your mobile phone for emergency calls, such as to 911.

5. Payment Methods for Paid Service Options:  You can purchase one of our Top-Ups through one of the following payment methods: (1) credit/debit card (2) Money Gram (3) contacting customer service, or (4) buying a SurgePhone and Torch Top-Up card at any of our retail locations. Sales taxes will apply.

Taxes and surcharges are not included in our pricing for service options. SurgePhone and Torch charges state and local sales taxes. The amount of these surcharges is subject to change and may vary from time to time and by area. Third party retailers are responsible for collecting sales taxes and in certain states, regulatory fees, for Top-Up transactions that occur through such third-party retailers. Taxes and fees are subject to change without notice.

In order to authorize your credit card for recurring payments, our payment system needs to check that your credit card information is valid. It does this by lodging a $.05 holding fee on your account. After 7 days, this will be refunded to your account.

6. International Calling:  All phone plans include calls made in the 50 United States and do not include international calls. The placement of calls outside the domestic US may result in the termination of service at the sole discretion of SurgePhone and Torch.

7. Messaging:  You can send and receive text messages of up to 160 characters on your SurgePhone and Torch phone. Text messages will be valued at 1 talk minute per message sent and/or received on SurgePhone and Torch’s basic voice and broadband plans. Certain SurgePhone and Torch unlimited service plans include both unlimited voice and text messaging. Unlimited plans are not available in all areas. Call customer service at (866) 372-0619 for package pricing. Each domestic text will be deducted from the available messages in your purchased plan. You can terminate your subscription or switch to another plan by calling SurgePhone and Torch customer service. You may receive service alerts from SurgePhone and Torch for which there is no charge. If You are receiving unwanted text messages, contact the source and ask to be removed from their distribution list.

8. Unsolicited Messages: If You are found to be sending spam from your SurgePhone and Torch phone, we may terminate your service without further notice.

9. Data Services and Usage on Your Surge/Torch phone: SurgePhone and Torch, in their sole discretion, may interrupt or suspend access due to abuse, excessive use, or violations of the Terms and Conditions.

3G or higher is considered high speed data under SurgePhone and Torch. All billing and related SurgePhone and Torch services shall operate accordingly under this definition.

Data services may be throttled based on the underlying carrier providing services. Customers may experience throttled speeds when they reach a specified threshold set by the carriers. Customers may notice changes in the performance of certain applications when they are on throttled usage. In addition, SurgePhone and Torch and their underlying carriers may adjust periodically the applicable threshold for SurgePhone and Torch‘s data usage practices. Data Services are not available with all SurgePhone and Torch phones. You are responsible for all data activity from and to your device, regardless of who initiates the activity. We reserve the right to deny or terminate service without notice for any misuse or any use that adversely affects network performance. Availability of data services is subject to change.

10. Specific Terms and Restrictions Regarding Data Services:  Your relationship with companies that provide Data Content is between You and those companies. You are responsible with any information You share and it is recommended that You use good judgment and care when You communicating and interacting with any website.

Call times are rounded up to the nearest whole minute. You can switch your number to another SurgePhone and Torch phone for no additional charge by contacting customer service. Please contact customer service for additional information.

  A roaming charge will apply when making or receiving calls outside the home coverage area. We may notify You when You are roaming, but cannot guarantee we will be able to provide such notice in all cases. Dialing 411 on your keypad may affect your plan and could result in additional charges to your account. Roaming and International calls are not part of your plan and will result in charges to your account. Your service may be suspended due to any of these occurrences until charges are paid.

13. Disputed Charges:  If You think that there has been an error in any charge to your account, You must notify us immediately. Contact customer service and an account specialist will investigate your claim. If You do not notify us within a 30-day period of the error, You waive any right to dispute the charge, including in arbitration or a court proceeding. If we determine that the disputed charge was inappropriate, your account will be credited or You may receive a refund. If You agree to a credit or refund, You are in agreement that this action has settled the dispute.

If we have attempted to charge your credit card for a charge that we deem is authorized and valid under these Terms and Conditions, and the credit card company withholds such payment because the charge has been disputed (a “charge-back”), we reserve the right to suspend your access to our service for up to 30 days until the Chargeback is reversed. If the Chargeback is not resolved and reversed, your account will be deactivated at the end of the 30-day period.

14. No Refunds of Top-Up Cards and Monthly Charges: All Top-Up sales are final and nonrefundable regardless of who uses or possesses your mobile phone after You buy airtime regardless of if it is used for voice, SMS/Text Messaging or Data, and regardless of whether the mobile phone is used with your consent or knowledge. Monthly charges are non-refundable.

15. Refunds or Exchanges: If within the first seven (7) days after receiving your mobile phone that You have purchased from SurgePhone and Torch, You are not fully satisfied with the device or service, You may return the phone with the original box accessories that we provided to You, to us for a full refund of the amount You paid for the mobile phone.
