*LEGAL NOTES

GO MD USA LLC's Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a government benefit program that offers supported services. Enrollment in ACP is only available to eligible consumers and is limited to one per household, and it is non-transferable. Proof of income or participation in a qualified program may be required to enroll. Although the program offers unlimited service, GO MD USA LLC reserves the right to terminate or modify your service if it is used in a manner that interferes with other customers' service or disproportionally uses GO MD USA LLC's network resources. GO MD USA LLC may also limit, alter, or discontinue your service if you generate unusually high call volumes, have lengthy average call times, incur abnormally high costs, or use an abnormally high amount of data compared to other customers.

Your service plan terms and conditions may limit the amount of high-speed data included in your plan and the actual speeds you achieve while using broadband services. The actual performance of your wireless data service may vary based on several factors such as reception, technology, and network traffic, and GO MD USA LLC does not guarantee the speeds of the data services provided.

Eligible households can receive one monthly service discount under the ACP. If you are already enrolled in the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, your benefits will automatically transfer to the ACP after the transition period. When the ACP program ends or GO MD USA LLC's promotional FREE ACP service offer ends, you will be notified, and you can keep your ACP service by paying the applicable undiscounted rate plus fees and taxes.
