3. Customer Responsibilities

You are fully responsible for the contents of your transmissions through the Services. The Company simply acts as a passive conduit for you to send and receive information of your own choosing. However, the Company reserves the right to take any action with respect to the Services that the Company deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion if the Company believes you or your information may create liability for the Company, compromise or disrupt the Services for you or other customers, or cause the Company to lose (in whole or in part) the services of the Company’s ISPs or other suppliers. Your use of the Services is subject to all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations (including without limitation those governing account collection, export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising). You agree: (1) to comply with all laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from any country through the Services; (2) not to use the Services for illegal purposes; (3) not to interfere or disrupt networks connected to the Services; (4) to comply with all regulations, policies and procedures of networks connected to the Services; (5) not to use the Services to infringe any third party’s copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy; and (6) not to transmit through the Services any unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature. You further agree not to transmit any material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law or regulation. The Services make use of the Internet for you to send and receive information of your own choosing. As a result, your conduct is subject to Internet regulations, policies and procedures. You agree not to use or reference the Services for chain letters, junk fax or junk mail, spamming or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process, and further agree not to attempt to gain unauthorized access to other computer systems. You further agree not to use the Services to store (1) any “protected health information” (as such term is used in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-191), or (2) any other type of information that imposes independent obligations upon the Company. You shall not interfere with another Customer’s use and enjoyment of the Services or another entity’s use and enjoyment of similar services.

4. Unsolicited Fax Advertisements/SPAM Drop-Box Policy

The transmission of unsolicited fax advertisements is illegal in the United States under the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act and is also illegal under the laws of a number of other countries, states and provinces. Distribution of unsolicited fax advertisements through the Services is prohibited and may be considered a material violation of this Agreement. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Agreement and pursue other legal remedies available to it; or any combination of these remedies. Notwithstanding the above, the Company’s distribution of advertising to its customers is not considered unsolicited fax advertising based upon your acceptance of this Agreement.

Company understands that receipt of such faxes can impair your use of our Services. Accordingly, Company may use legally available means to prevent distribution and receipt of unsolicited fax advertisements to or by our customers. At Company’s option and without further notice, Company may use technologies and procedures, such as filters, that may terminate such unsolicited fax advertisements without delivering them. If you believe that you are in receipt of an unsolicited fax advertisement, we ask that if the fax contains a telephone number, fax number, or other contact information to “unsubscribe” from receipt of additional junk faxes, that you please do so. You hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company has any and all rights to assert any and all legal claims available against any third party as a result of your receipt of any unsolicited faxes, including but not limited to claims under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, and to the extent you do have any rights to bring any such claims, you hereby assign any and all such rights to the Company.

Because our fax numbers may be reassigned to other customers in the event your account is canceled, and to ensure the best possible service for all customers, you are not permitted to “opt in” to receive spam faxes on your fax number.

The Company does not permit its Customers to use their fax number as a “drop-box” for responses to email or fax spam offers. If you believe you are in receipt of email or fax spam that uses a fax number as a “drop-box” for responses, and if the email or fax contains an email address, telephone number, fax number, or other contact information to “unsubscribe” from receipt of additional messages, please unsubscribe accordingly. Please contact customer service if you believe your number has been used as a “drop-box.” We appreciate your assistance in enforcing and complying with these policies and look forward to continuing to make your Company experience a positive one for you.

The Company reserves the right to limit use of the Services or to terminate any account if we believe unreasonable usage has occurred on such account or if the Services are used in a manner that is not permitted by this Agreement.

11. Charges

a. Payment

You agree to pay all charges for your use of the Services at the prices then in effect. All charges will be exclusive of value added (“VAT”), sales or other taxes, except as required by law. We may amend your pricing plan, including but not limited to any charges thereto, at any time either by (a) posting pricing plan changes on the Website, or (b) sending information regarding the pricing plan changes to the email address you provided to us. You are responsible for regularly reviewing such pricing plan information. Continued use of the Services, or non-termination of your account, after changes are either posted or emailed to you constitutes your acceptance of the pricing plan as modified.

Your account balance is due monthly in the currency billed and, unless you have a qualified business account, will be charged to any of the credit or debit cards you designated to the Company. If your account is a qualified business account and is approved by the Company for corporate billing, charges will be accumulated, identified by Customer identification number and invoiced on a monthly basis.

b. Credit or Debit Card Payments

If the payment method for your account is by credit or debit card and payment is not received by the Company from the card issuer or its agents, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by the Company. Until the Services are terminated in accordance with the Company’s cancellation and verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion, you agree and reaffirm that the Company is authorized to charge your designated card. Your card issuer’s agreement governs your use of your designated card in connection with the Services, and you must refer to such agreement (not this Agreement) with respect to your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. You agree that the Company may (at its option) accumulate charges incurred during your monthly billing cycle and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each cycle, and that the Company may delay obtaining authorization from your card issuer until submission of the accumulated charge(s). This means that accumulated charges may appear on the statement you receive from your card issuer.

c. Fees

Your activation fee (also referred to as a sign-up fee), monthly service fees, usage fees, and/or storage fees are COMPLETELY NON-REFUNDABLE. You agree that the Company may submit charges for all applicable fees each month via your invoice, without further authorization from you, until the Services are terminated in accordance with the Company’s cancellation and verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion. Such termination will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice. Charges which apply in arrears will apply for the entire current billing period in which you terminate. If you have any question regarding any charges that have been applied to your account, you must contact the Company’s Customer Service Department within 30 days of the charge date. Failure to use your account will not be deemed a basis for refusing to pay any charges submitted by the Company in accordance with this Agreement.

Per page usage includes pages received or sent through the Services. For each transmission (sending or receiving), the number of pages is calculated based on the greater of the actual number of pages or the number of full or partial 60-second increments of transmission time. You agree that the Company may submit charges for such usage charges as and when such charges are incurred or by accumulating such charges (in the sole discretion of the Company), without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice (in accordance with Company’s cancellation and verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your designated card. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice. If you are using the Services from certain locations, you may also incur charges levied by your Internet service provider, online service provider and/or long distance carrier to access the Company.

With respect to the outbound faxing service, please be advised that the Company will bill you for one page for each attempt made to send the fax, such as instances when someone answers the call or transmission is interrupted before completion.

d. Annual Pricing Terms and Additional Fees

If you subscribed for the Services for a fixed number of months (e.g., an annual plan or multi-month plan), your pre-paid fees are payable in advance and are COMPLETELY NON-REFUNDABLE. In addition, your pre-paid fee for the designated period immediately following your pre-paid period will be PRE-AUTHORIZED AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD LIMIT and will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card, without further authorization from you, upon the expiration of such pre-paid period, unless you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s cancellation and verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated this authorization. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice.

Annual plan accounts may incur additional charges for usage-based services and/or storage fees in accordance with your current pricing plan/subscription. Additional charges will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card without further authorization from you, upon the expiration of such pre-paid period, unless you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s cancellation and verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion).

e. Fax Storage

While your account is active, the Company will store fax messages received through your fax number for a period of up to 30 days at no cost. Faxes stored in the web interface after 30 days will incur a charge of $.05 per fax, per month. To avoid storage fees, you can conveniently set your Account Settings on your account to automatically delete faxes after 30 days. You acknowledge that the Company may change its practices and limitations concerning storage of fax messages, including without limitation, the maximum number of days that fax messages will be retained, the maximum number of messages stored at any one time, and the maximum storage space that will be allotted on the Company’s servers on your behalf, at any time, as provided for in Section 7. You further agree that the Company has no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the deletion or failure to store any fax messages and/or other communications maintained or transmitted by the Service.

f. Free Trial Periods

(i) Credit Card or Debit Card Required If you subscribed for the Services pursuant to a special offer granting you a free trial period that required you provide credit card or debit card information, your activation fee and initial monthly service fee may be PRE-AUTHORIZED AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD LIMIT (meaning the amounts pre-authorized will not be considered available credit or debit funds in such account) and will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card, without further authorization from you, upon the expiration of such free trial period, unless the Services are terminated in accordance with the Company’s cancellation and verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion. Such termination will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice. Any usage in excess of any free pages, and any usage incurred from sending any International faxes will apply and will be immediately charged to your designated credit card, without further authorization from you.

(ii) Credit Card or Debit Card Not Required If you subscribed for the Services pursuant to a special offer granting you a free trial period that did not require you provide credit card or debit card information, the free trial period shall begin on the date you registered for the right to use the Services and continue thereafter until the earlier of (i) the expiration of a thirty day period, or (ii) your use of thirty pages (such date being the “End Date”). On the End Date the Company may suspend your Account, without prior notice, unless you have purchased the right to continue using the Services. If you do not purchase the right to continue using the Services within thirty days from the End Date, the Company may terminate your Account without prior notice.

g. Deposits

Prepaid charges and/or subscriptions require an initial deposit which is due and payable in advance by deposit of a fixed amount in accordance with the pricing plan/subscription selected. This deposit will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card without further authorization from you. Your deposit will thereafter be depleted according to the rates specified by the pricing plan/subscription you selected upon enrollment. Thereafter, each time your deposit is depleted to the minimum amount specified by the pricing plan/subscription selected, another fixed amount deposit in the same amount as the prior deposit will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card, without further authorization from you, which deposit will thereafter be depleted according to the rates specified by the pricing plan/subscription you selected upon enrollment You agree that the Company may submit charges for these deposits without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s cancellation verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your designated card. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice. Unused balances from previous deposits are not refundable.

h. Changes in Account Information

You must promptly notify the Company of changes to: (a) the account number or expiration date of your designated card; (b) your billing address; and (c) the name of each minor whom you have authorized to use your account. You must also promptly notify the Company if your card is canceled (e.g., for loss or theft). In order to avoid interruptions in the Service caused by rejected credit or debit card charges, the Company reserves the right to update your credit or debit card details (such as expiration dates) where this is not prohibited by law. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE COMPANY IS ENTITLED TO OBTAIN SUCH UPDATED CARD DETAILS, STORE THEM AND USE THEM TO BILL CHARGES.

i. Credits

Company may, from time to time, award you a gift balance, which is a non-refundable credit applicable toward usage balances only. Gift balances have no cash value. Gift balances will expire on the earlier of (i) termination of your Account or (ii) 30 days after they are issued, and are subject to any additional terms associated with the credit offer. Company reserves the right to limit gift balances to a maximum of $5 per customer. In addition, Company may offer other incentives or issue other credits from time to time, each of which is subject to the specific terms of the applicable offer or credit. Company reserves the right to modify these credits or offers at any time with or without notice.

j. Late Fees

A late fee of U.S. $4.95 (or the local currency equivalent) may be charged to your account each time full payment of your outstanding balance is not received by the payment due date. You agree that the Company may submit charges for late fees without further authorization from or notice to you, until you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated or canceled your Services, or wish to change your designated card(s). Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice.

REGARDLESS OF WHEN THE PORT OUT IS COMPLETE, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY ALL APPLICABLE ACCOUNT FEES WITH RESPECT TO THE TELEPHONE NUMBERS UNTIL YOU FORMALLY TERMINATE YOUR SERVICE. IF YOU FAIL TO SATISFY ANY OF THE FOREGOING REQUIREMENTS, THE COMPANY REMAINS THE CUSTOMER OF RECORD OVER THE NUMBER(S) AND YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM CAUSING OR ATTEMPTING TO CAUSE SUCH NUMBER(S) TO BE TRANSFERRED TO ANY OTHER SERVICE PROVIDER, TELEPHONE CARRIER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY. THE COMPANY ALSO RETAINS THE RIGHT TO RECLAIM THE NUMBER(S) FROM YOU AFTER THE NUMBER(S) ARE PORTED OUT IN CONTRAVENTION WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS AND TO CHARGE YOUR CREDIT CARD THE US$500 (OR THE EQUIVALENT IN LOCAL CURRENCY) IN LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION.

21. Agreement to Arbitrate All Disputes

a. You and the Company agree that all disputes and claims between you and the Company shall be settled by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes, but is not limited to any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Services, Company software, the Website, the Agreement or any aspect of the relationship between you and the Company. You agree that, by agreeing to the Agreement, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration provision does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, including, for example, the Federal Communications Commission. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against the Company on your behalf. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your Account.

b. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to the Company should be addressed to: Consensus Cloud Solutions, LLC, ATTN: Legal Department, 700 S. Flower St., 15th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90017, USA (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If the Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by the Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Company is entitled. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after the Company receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000.

c. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by the Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of the Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Unless the Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place by video or telephone conference. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, the Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator is not authorized to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

d. The Company may make a written settlement offer anytime before an arbitrator is selected. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of the Company’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if the Company did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then the Company will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

e. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and the Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
