Provider is not responsible for the views and opinions contained in any of Client’s messages or broadcasts. Client further agrees that Provider is, under no circumstances, responsible for the contents and/or accuracy of Client’s messages or broadcasts and that Provider will only transmit them on a basis of good faith that Client uses the Service in accordance with this Agreement.
2.4. Service Level Agreement. The Service is subject to the availability, service credit and other terms set forth in the Service Level Agreement (SLA).
2.5. Technical Support. Technical support is subject to additional charge as agreed in the applicable Order. Technical support services are provided by Voximplant in accordance with Premium Technical Support Policy. Provider shall not provide Technical support free of charge.
2.6. Setup Services. Provider will perform implementation or customization services for the Service (“Setup Services”) as specified in an SOW. “SOW” means either (a) a description of such services in an Order or (b) a mutually executed statement of work that references this Agreement. Except as set forth in the relevant SOW, Client may modify or terminate any SOW with ten (10) days’ written notice to Provider. If Client terminates a SOW other than for Provider’s material breach, Client will pay Provider the fees due under the SOW for Setup Services satisfactorily completed in accordance with the SOW as of the effective date of termination.
2.7. Subcontractors. To the extent any Third Party Service Providers are authorized by Client, or to the extent any Third Party Service Providers have access to Client Data and/or Client Systems, Provider will (a) enter into a written agreement or Terms of Service that impose, at a minimum, at least materially-similar data privacy, protection and information security requirements on any such Third Party Service Providers as are imposed on Provider under this Agreement; (b) remain responsible for any such Third Party Service Provider’s actions with respect to the Client Data and/or Client Systems.
2.8. Disaster Recovery Plan. Provider will have in place a disaster recovery plan for business continuity and infrastructure redundancy (“DRP”) in the event of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be anticipated to materially and adversely affect the Service or continued operation of Provider as required under this Agreement (a “Disaster”). During the Term, Provider will (a) provide a copy of the DRP summary to Client upon written request and (b) periodically update and test the operability of the DRP. In event of any Disaster, Provider will implement the DRP and otherwise use all reasonable efforts to reinstate affected Service as quickly as possible.
2.9. Orders by Client Affiliates. Client’s Affiliates may execute their own Orders with Provider (“Affiliate Order”). Each Affiliate Order will be deemed to be a separate agreement between Client’s applicable Affiliate and Provider that incorporates all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, other than this Section 2.9, as if such Affiliate were “Client” (“Affiliate Agreement”).
2.10. Service Availability. Client acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) The Service may or may not be available in all countries or regions of the world, may be available under different trademarks in different countries, and, where applicable, may be approved or cleared by a government regulatory body for sale or use with different indications and restrictions in different countries
(b) Provider transmits messages initiated by Client or sent to Client by others through different routes, and the level of reliability and support for special features varies according to the route. Client is responsible for obtaining and maintaining all computer hardware, software, and communications equipment needed to access the Service and for paying all access charges (e.g., Internet Service Provider, telecommunications) incurred while using the Service.
(c) Provider only provides that the Service is processed correctly and, if needed, further transmitted by Provider to the applicable network. Provider is not responsible for the final delivery of any communication initiated through the Service, as this is out of Provider’s control and is the responsibility of downstream communications carriers.
2.11. Provider transmits and receives text messages and voice broadcasts via other major telecommunications companies and mobile network operators, and thus Provider’ influence over the timing of the transmission of messages and broadcasts is only within the technical constraints imposed upon Provider. While Provider shall use commercially-reasonable efforts to transmit messages and broadcasts to the applicable network for final delivery to the designated recipients as fast as possible, Provider cannot commit to, and does not guarantee, a specific maximum delivery time. Such times depend on various network and system-related factors among the various entities involved in the transmission of messages and broadcasts across the public switched telephone network and/or Internet. Communications carriers assign text messages and voice broadcasts with a default lifetime and any message or broadcast that cannot be delivered successfully within the lifetime assigned to it will be discarded by the communications carrier without any notice. Provider is not liable for any loss incurred by the failure of a message or broadcast to be delivered, and Client acknowledges that damages for financial or other loss resulting from delivery failure cannot be claimed from Provider for any such non-deliveries. Furthermore, to the full extent permitted by law, Client agrees that message and broadcast contents are deemed to have zero value.
2.12. Downtime; Security. Client’s access to and use of the Service may be suspended for the duration of any unanticipated or unscheduled downtime or unavailability of any portion or all of the Service for any reason, including as a result of power outages, system failures or other interruptions; and Provider shall also be entitled, without any liability to Client, to suspend access to any portion or all of the Service at any time (a) for scheduled downtime to permit Provider to conduct maintenance or make modifications to the Service; (b) in the event of a denial of service attack or other attack on the Service or other event that Provider determines, in its sole discretion, may create a risk to the Service, to Client or to any other customers if the Service were not suspended; or (c) in the event that Provider determines that any of the Services are prohibited by applicable law or Provider otherwise determines that it is necessary or prudent to do so for legal or regulatory reasons (collectively, “Service Suspensions”). Provider shall have no liability whatsoever for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits) or any other consequences that Client may incur as a result of any Service Suspension. To the extent Provider is able, Provider will endeavor to provide Client notice of any Service Suspension and post updates regarding resumption of Services following any such suspension, but shall have no liability for the manner in which Provider may do so or if Provider fails to do so.
2.13. No Intentional Calls to Non-RBOC Areas. Client agrees that it will not purposely route calls to high-cost non-RBOC (Regional Bell Operating Company) areas for origination or termination of telecommunications traffic on or through the Service. Calls may be monitored and reported upon each billing cycle to ensure sound traffic patterns. Provider will address any excessive routing of high-cost calls by Client, and commercially reasonable penalties may be assessed to recover excess charges from Provider’s VoIP termination companies.
3. PROVIDER SOFTWARE. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. FEEDBACK
3.1. To the extent Client receives Provider Software, this Section 3 applies. “Provider Software” means any software, agents, SDKs or other code made available by Provider to be used in connection with the Service, including any updates, upgrades or new releases. Except as otherwise specified, references to the “Service” include all Provider Software. Provider hereby grants Client a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-sublicensable, terminable worldwide right to use, copy, distribute, publicly perform and display the Provider Software as reasonably necessary for Client’s use of the Service, which may include incorporating such Provider Software into Client’s relevant websites, products, services or other Client Systems. Provider grants all licenses under all of its applicable intellectual property rights necessary for Client to exercise its rights hereunder.
3.2. All materials on the Website, including, without limitation, the Website’s design, graphics, text, sounds, pictures, and other files and the selection and arrangement thereof (collectively, “Materials”), are the property of Provider and/or its licensors, and are subject to and protected by United States and international copyright and other intellectual property laws and rights. All rights to the Service, Website, Programs and Materials not expressly granted in these Terms of Service are reserved to their respective copyright owners. The trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress and logos (collectively, “Marks”) contained or described in the Service, the Website and the Programs are the sole property of Voximplant and/or its licensors. All rights to Marks not expressly granted in these Terms of Service reserved to their respective copyright owners and therefore, such Marks may not be copied, altered or otherwise used, in whole or in part, without the prior written authorization of Provider and/or its licensors, as applicable. In addition, all page headers, custom graphics, button icons and scripts are the property of Provider and may not be copied, imitated or otherwise used, in whole or in part, without the prior written authorization of Provider. Provider reserves the right to enforce its intellectual property rights to the fullest extent of the law.
3.3. Provider encourages all customers and partners to comment on Provider’s products and services, provide suggestions for improving them, and vote on suggestions they like. Client agrees that all such comments, feedback and suggestions will be non-confidential and that Voximplant shall own all rights to use and incorporate them into the Provider’s products and services, without any obligation or payment to Client.

4.2. Remedy of Defects. If Client reports a breach of the Performance Warranty, Provider will, without charge, use commercially reasonable efforts to correct or repair the Service so that it conforms to the Performance Warranty.

4.3. Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY SOW, EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
4.4. Client Representations and Warranties. Client represents and warrants that it will not use the Services or Client Systems in a manner that violates these Terms of Service, any applicable law or third-party rights.
Client also acknowledges and understands that Provider does not currently allow Client to access any 911 or similar emergency services (no traditional 911, E911, 112 in the European Union or similar access to emergency services) unless (i) such services are expressly preapproved in writing, and (ii) Client uses Emergency Services strictly in accordance with the “Emergency Services Terms and Conditions” or enters such other agreement as Provider deems appropriate. The Service is not intended to replace any primary phone service, such as a traditional landline or mobile phone, that may be used to contact emergency services. This provision does not apply to Austria and Switzerland.
Client represents and warrants: (i) that Client is solely responsible for the development, operation, maintenance and legality of Client Systems and Content, including without limitation, the accuracy, appropriateness and completeness of the Content; (ii) that Client has the necessary rights and licenses, consents, permissions, waivers and releases to develop, use, display and/or sell Client Systems and the Content; (iii) that neither Client Systems nor Content (a) violates, misappropriates or infringes any rights of Provideror any third party, (b) constitutes defamation, invasion of privacy or publicity, or otherwise violates any rights of any third party, or (c) is designed for use in any illegal activity or promotes illegal activities, including, without limitation, in a manner that might be libelous or defamatory or otherwise malicious, illegal or harmful to any person or entity, or discriminatory based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age; (iv) that neither Client Systems nor Content contains any harmful components; and (v) that Provider is not responsible to Client for indemnification or directly to any of its customers or clients if Client offers services (including its Client Systems) based on the Service. Client also represents and warrants that Client is responsible for any charges incurred by its use of Client Systems, no matter whether Client Systems acted in error.
Client further agrees that it will have use of the telephone number(s) that are provided as part of the Service only until the end of the Term. Client understands and agrees that Provider is the customer of record for all telephone number(s) provided as part of the Service and, therefore, Provider has certain rights with respect to porting of the number(s) (“Porting” is causing or attempting to cause number(s) to be transferred, switched, or otherwise moved to any other service provider, telephone carrier, or any other person or entity). As the customer of record for the telephone number(s), Provider owns the telephone number(s) assigned to Client. Provider reserves the right to refuse to port any telephone number(s) in its sole discretion without any liability whatsoever.
If Client “ported in” any telephone number(s) in connection with its use of Service or Provider assigned Client one or more toll free telephone numbers, Client may be entitled to “port out” a telephone number under non-U.S. law. Subject to applicable law, Client may “port out” such number(s) only if it satisfies the following requirements: (1) Client provides written notice to Provider of its intent to “port out” such number(s) no later than 30 days after providing Provider notice of its intent to terminate its use of the Service (the “Porting Notice Period”); (2) Client’s new telephone carrier provides Provider’s telephone carrier a duly executed porting request prior to the expiration of the Porting Notice Period; (3) Client has paid Provider for the Service provided to Client prior to the date Client provides Provider notice of its intent to terminate its use of the Service; and (4) Client has paid Provider any administrative fees associated with processing the port. Client hereby authorizes Provider to charge its account in the applicable amount for the administrative fees in subsection (4) above or to otherwise arrange to make this payment to Provider within the Porting Notice Period. Regardless of when the port out is complete, Client will continue to be responsible to pay all applicable account fees with respect to the telephone numbers until Client formally terminates use of the Services pursuant to these Terms of Service. If Client fails to satisfy any of the foregoing requirements, Provider remains the customer of record over the number(s) and Client is 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. Provider also retains the right to reclaim the number(s) from Client after the number(s) are ported out in contravention with these requirements and authorizes Provider to charge Client’s account or take any other measures to collect the costs associated with causing the number(s) to be returned to Provider. Client understands and agrees that even if it satisfies the requirements set forth in this section, technical or procedural difficulties or interruptions may occur when attempting to port out these numbers and such difficulties or interruptions may prevent Client’s new carrier from porting the numbers. Provider is not responsible for such technical or procedural difficulties or interruptions.
Client understands and agrees that following the termination of these Terms of Service for any reason, Client’s number(s) may be re-assigned to another customer. Client agrees that Provider will not be liable for damages (including, without limitation, consequential or special damages) arising out of any such re-assignment and Client hereby waives any claims with respect to any such re-assignment, whether based on contractual, tort or other grounds, even if Provider has been advised of the possibility of damages.
Client understands and agrees that Provider may need to change the telephone number(s) assigned to Client. Client agrees that Provider will not be liable for damages (including, without limitation, consequential or special damages) arising out of any such change in the telephone number(s) assigned to Client and Client hereby waives any claims with respect to any such change, whether based on contractual, tort or other grounds, even if Provider has been advised of the possibility of damages.
Client represents and warrants that it has read and understood these Terms of Service, and Client agrees to abide by all of their terms, where applicable, including as incorporated by reference herein. Client further agrees to abide by all applicable local, state, national, foreign and international laws and regulations and that you will be solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur under Client’s account or password, including the content of Client’s transmissions through the Service.
Client represents and warrants that without Provider’s express written consent Client will not use, and will not authorize any third party to use, any Public Software (as defined below) in connection with the Service in any manner that requires, pursuant to the license applicable to such Public Software, that the Service be (a) disclosed or distributed in source code form, (b) made available free of charge to recipients, or (c) modifiable without restriction by recipients. “Public Software” means any software, documentation or other material that contains, or is derived (in whole or in part) from, any software, documentation or other material that is distributed as free software, open source software (e.g., Linux) or similar licensing or distribution models, including, but not limited to software, documentation or other material licensed or distributed under any of the following licenses or distribution models, or licenses or distribution models similar to any of the following: (i) GNU’s General Public License (GPL), Lesser/Library GPL (LGPL), or Free Documentation License, (ii) The Artistic License (e.g., PERL), (iii) the Mozilla Public License, (iv) the Netscape Public License, (v) the Sun Community Source License (SCSL), (vi) the Sun Industry Standards License (SISL), (vii) the BSD License and (viii) the Apache License.

Client represents and warrants that the owners of the phone numbers that Client initiates messages or broadcasts to, or through, the Service, have consented or otherwise opted-in to the receipt of such messages and broadcasts as required by any applicable law or regulation. Client agrees that Client will include clear opt-out/unsubscribe information in Client’s messages or broadcasts when required to do so by any applicable law or regulation, and that Client will otherwise adhere to the Consumer Best Practices Guidelines promulgated by the Mobile Marketing Association, if applicable to Client’s messages. Client further agrees that any individuals requesting Do-Not-Call (“DNC”) status shall be immediately placed on Client’s DNC accounts list and Client further agrees that Client will not initiate any further messages or broadcasts to any individuals after they request DNC status.
Client agrees to familiarize itself with and abide by all applicable local, state, national, foreign and international laws and regulations pertaining to Client’s use of the Service. Client is solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur under Client’s account, including, without limitation, the content of the messages and broadcasts that Client create and initiate through the Service, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), Federal Trade Commission and Federal Communications Commission rules, the National DNC list registry rules, and various state laws, rules, and regulations place restrictions on certain types of phone calls and text messages.

- National Do Not Call (DNC) Registry, http://www.donotcall.gov
Provider is in no way attempting to interpret any laws, rules, or regulations.

Client shall be ultimately responsible to make Client’s own informed decisions regarding Client’s messages, broadcasts, and campaigns.

All payments are due in U.S. Dollars within fifteen (15) days of Client’s receipt of an invoice which is not disputed in good faith by Client. Client may withhold amounts disputed in good faith while the parties attempt to resolve the dispute, and this will not constitute a breach. All reimbursable expenses shall be set forth in a SOW or otherwise pre-approved in writing by Client.
6.2. Taxes. In case in accordance with the legislation of a foreign jurisdiction Client has to withhold any taxes or duties withheld in such foreign jurisdiction from Provider as the recipient of income, including, in particular, VAT and income (profit) tax withheld at source and any other similar taxes that may replace or complement the existing ones, the amount to be paid to Provider shall be increased in such a manner so that the net amount received by Provider after withholding or payment of the said taxes would be equal to the amount indicated in an Order, SOW or an invoice hereto.
6.3. Unless otherwise stated, all Fees exclude any applicable Taxes, including any related interest and/or penalties, and other government duties, as well as any other costs, such as transaction costs or bank transfer fees.

Client shall receive a breakdown report with applicable Taxes review on a monthly basis.
6.5. To assure that there are sufficient funds to cover tax obligations due, Provider may reserve a certain amount of each payment for future Taxes in connection with each transaction. The amount to be reserved shall be calculated based on the applicable tax rate at the place of Client’s official registration (tax residency) and transaction type.
6.6. Provider shall credit back Client’s account with the difference between a final amount of Taxes due and a reserved amount if a reserved amount surpasses Client’s actual tax liabilities and keep reserved an amount equal to such taxes payable only.

15. MISCELLANEOUS
15.1. General. Neither party may assign this Agreement (including, without limitation, any products, services, Programs, or any terms or other agreements referenced herein) without the other party’s prior written consent, except that with prior written notice either party without such consent may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate or any other entity in connection with a reorganization, merger, consolidation, acquisition, or other restructuring involving all or substantially all of such party’s voting securities or assets. Non-permitted assignments are void. Neither party shall be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement for any failure or delay in performance (other than fees due hereunder) caused by reasons beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, strikes, communications or internet failures or unavailability, power failure, failure of suppliers, fires, floods, earthquakes, governmental restrictions, any court order, compliance with any law, regulation, order of any governmental authority, or any other force majeure event. If any provision is found to be unenforceable, it (and related provisions) will be interpreted to best accomplish the parties’ intended purpose. In this Agreement, “including” means “including without limitation” (and similar terms will be construed without limitation) and headings are for convenience only and will not affect interpretation. Amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by Provider. Waivers must be signed by the waiving party and one waiver will not imply any future waiver. This Agreement is non-exclusive; nothing herein prohibits Provider from creating or offering the Service or entering into any similar agreement with any other party.
This Agreement (which includes all Orders, Exhibits and SOWs) together with any existing nondisclosure or confidentiality agreement with Client is the Parties’ entire and only agreement regarding its subject matter and supersedes and cancels all previous agreements and communications (written or oral) relating to its subject matter.
If any provision of these Terms of Service (including all agreements and terms referenced here) are deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the invalid, void or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in effect.
The failure of the Provider’s Affiliates to insist upon strict adherence to any term of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such term and shall not be considered a waiver or limit of that party’s right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term contained in these Terms of Service. No delay in exercising any right or remedy or failure to object will be a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on one occasion will not be a waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.
Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person or entity (other than the parties hereto) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
To the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, no action arising out of this Terms of Service or Client’s use of the Service, Website or the Provider’s Programs, regardless of form or the basis of the claim, may be brought by Client more than one (1) year after the cause of action has arisen (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause arose).
