This provision requires customers to notify T-Mobile in writing of any billing dispute within 60 days of receiving the disputed bill or charge, on pain of losing the ability to pursue the claim in arbitration or court. Accepting any credit, refund, or other benefit to resolve a billing dispute operates as a full release of T-Mobile from liability for that dispute.

This provision establishes a 60-day contractual notification window for billing disputes that conditions the ability to pursue claims in arbitration or court on timely written notice. The release of liability clause triggered by acceptance of any credit or benefit to resolve a dispute is a separate mechanism that fully extinguishes the underlying claim upon acceptance.
The updated terms expand T-Mobile's authority to suspend or terminate service by explicitly including theft and unlawful conduct as grounds for suspension or service denial, beyond the previously stated prohibited uses. The agreement also clarifies that price commitments embedded in Rate Plans do not automatically extend to new technologies, features, or services unless expressly stated, meaning customers cannot assume their locked price applies if T-Mobile introduces new offerings. Additionally, the terms now state that reconnection or restoration of service after suspension may incur a fee. These changes modify the conditions under which service can be interrupted and the predictability of pricing as services evolve.

"Unless otherwise provided by law, you must notify us in writing of any dispute regarding your bill or Charges to your account within 60 days after the date you first receive the disputed bill or Charge. If you don't, you may not pursue a claim in arbitration or in court. If you accept a credit, refund, or other compensation or benefit to resolve a bill dispute or Charge, you agree that the issue is fully and finally resolved, and T-Mobile shall be released from all liability regarding the dispute.Excerpt from T-Mobile's Terms and Conditions
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Contractual shortening of dispute notification periods may interact with state consumer protection statutes that establish minimum dispute windows or non-waivable statutory rights. The FTC and state attorneys general may evaluate whether a 60-day notification window combined with a full release upon acceptance of any benefit constitutes an unfair or deceptive practice under applicable law. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The 60-day window is a commonly observed provision in wireless carrier agreements, though the combination with a full-release clause upon acceptance of any benefit creates a compounding structure that may warrant scrutiny. The clause includes a carve-out for rights provided by law, which limits its application where statutory dispute rights exist. JURISDICTION FLAGS: Puerto Rico customers are subject to a different and shorter 20-day billing dispute notification window under the Puerto Rico-specific terms, with a separate escalation path to the Puerto Rico Telecommunications Bureau. California residents and other state consumers with statutory billing dispute rights may be protected by the law carve-out in the provision. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Business accounts with high billing volumes should implement internal processes to ensure billing review and dispute notification occur within the 60-day window. Organizations should also evaluate whether acceptance of credits or adjustments by account managers constitutes a full release under these terms. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether the 60-day contractual window is enforceable in all states where T-Mobile customers are located, given variation in state consumer protection law. The full-release mechanism triggered by acceptance of any benefit should be disclosed to customer-facing teams to prevent inadvertent waiver of unresolved claims.
