8. Your Account. Unless you have selected a special promotional rate plan or accepted promotional pricing, you may, upon notice to us and payment of any transfer fee we assess, change to another rate plan.

You may be charged for data sent or received by any Device you use (including, without limitation, "free" software downloads, messaging, unsolicited information and advertisements), regardless of whether the data is requested, actually or completely delivered, received or stored. In some cases data packets will be resent to ensure complete delivery; you may be billed for these resent packets. You understand that Service connection (and billing) starts at the time you log on to the Service and does not end until you properly log off and the network terminates the connection (after log off). If you (a) do not properly log off, (b) leave the coverage area during a session or (c) lose your connection for any reason, then billing will not terminate until at least several minutes after you lose your connection and you will be charged for this period. Some Devices, such as personal data assistants and other handheld devices, may require you to remove your wireless card and turn off your Device in order to properly terminate your connection. You should do so to ensure your connection is terminated. You understand that if you exceed any applicable allotment of minutes or megabytes ("Mb") under your rate plan, your service may be terminated by us without notice and without any liability on our part.
