As for having Sprint post past agreements, I don’t think that they have any obligation to do so. When my company supercedes a previous version of an agreement that we use in negotiations, we remove all past versions to ensure that only the current version of the agreement and the related T&Cs will be used. It’s much the same as having your bank send a flyer of new T&Cs or anything else. Why do you need the old agreement once the new one takes effect? If you as the consumer want to keep a copy, it’s your obligation to maintain your own archive. As a vendor, I would fear a risk of confusion if multiple versions were available for review by the public, since the public doesn’t always pay attention to which one is current and when another became obsolete.

If you want to obtain Sprint’s older agreements, I suggest you contact them and ask for copies. Let us know their response.

I have no problem with archiving of contracts. Indeed, I think that’s a wise solution. However, that’s not what Sprint seems to do. Their method of incorporation by mere reference to a generic URL you loses reference to specific versions and I can’t seem to see where they post old versions. Can you?

Also, the wayback machine is only so effective for determining which version of a contract is applicable at a particular time.

And, as a real solution, I just searched for the terms, attached them directly to the executed document, removed the awkward reference, and fixed them in time and place.

It’s not unusual for old versions to not be kept where people can find them for posterity’s sake – they are often retained in the Legal Department or some other location, but the company doesn’t want users to be confused with multiple versions “live”. You can always try a wayback machine to find earlier ones – or do what I do, and archive copies, marked by date, on my computer for future reference.

The real kicker is that they’re also not easily found, subject to change, and old versions don’t seem to be retained for posterities sake. Baffling.
