OPERATION AND LIMITATIONS OF THE 911 SERVICE

Access to Emergency Services (911). EVAS may provide a limited access to the emergency calling services, where available, allowing some users to access either a basic 911 or an Enhanced 911 (E911) service. Your access may differ depending on Your location or the device You are using; and emergency calling services may work differently than You have experienced previously, using the traditional wireline or wireless telecommunication devices and services. It is strongly recommended that you always have available alternative means for placing emergency calls and you do not rely on the Services for placing emergency calls.

The users of IP Desk Phones or 911-Enabled Softphones may be able, where available, to dial 911 or similar emergency services directly from their IP Desk Phones or a 911-Enabled Softphone. Emergency calls cannot be placed through Softphones and other equipment that is not 911-Enabled. Calls to emergency services placed through a Softphone on a mobile device (e.g., a smartphone) may be automatically routed, where possible, to the native dialer of a mobile device, and the call will be handled by Your wireless service provider if wireless service is available. If Your wireless service is unavailable, the 911 call cannot be placed. A Softphone cannot place emergency calls over a Wi-Fi network. Emergency dialing is not available on Softphones operating on tablet or other mobile devices without a native phone dialer and a wireless service plan that supports calls to emergency services.

How it Works. When a user dials 911 on an IP Desk Phone or a 911-Enabled Softphone, the Digital Line number and the Registered Address You have provided may be sent, where possible, to an emergency center. In some areas, emergency operators have access to this information; however, in areas where only basic 911 service is available, the emergency operator answering the call may not be able to access Your Digital Line number and/or Your Registered Address. You should always be prepared to provide the emergency operator with Your Digital Line number and Registered Address in case if the call is dropped or disconnected. If You are unable to speak, the emergency operator may not be able to send help to Your location and/or call You back should the call be disconnected. EVAS does not control whether the emergency operator receives Your Digital Line number (telephone number or caller ID) and Registered Address and does not guarantee that Your Digital Line number and/or Registered Address will be provided to emergency operator and/or Your call will be successfully routed to the emergency service operator.

Emergency dialing with Your Services works differently than emergency dialing over a traditional phone service. Oftentimes, 911 calls dialed via the Service, if available, cannot be directed to the local emergency response center, and are instead, where possible, may be directed to a National Emergency Call Center (the “NECC”). That might happen, for instance, if there is a problem validating a Registered Address, if the Registered Address is an international location, or if the Registered Address is in an area that is not covered by the landline 911 network, or in other situations. 911 calls that are directed to NECC may not include Your Digital Line number and/or Your registered address. An operator at the NECC may request Your name, location, and telephone number and may attempt to reach emergency responders in Your local area. Until You give the operator Your phone number, and location, the operator may not be able to call You back or dispatch help to Your location if the call is dropped or disconnected or else.

Service Limitations. Accessing 911 via Services will not be possible, among other reasons, in the event of an Internet or power outage, Unplanned Downtime or Maintenance of Services, a Service Plan that does not offer 911 services, a trial, beta, or other limited Services availability program, if You do not have a cellular voice service (on the device operating a 911-Enabled Softphone), or if Your broadband, ISP, or Service is terminated or otherwise unavailable, if the Softphone or other equipment does not make 911 calls over the Internet or such functionality is severely limited. It is possible that network congestion or other difficulty may delay or prevent completion of a 911 call. 911 service may not be available if You are dialing from a Digital Line that is not a United States number or if such number does not support 911 calls, or for other reasons.

Registering Your Location. You agree to register with EVAS immediately upon activation of Your Account the address of the physical location where You will use each Digital Line. This is Your Registered Address of each Digital Line. You agree that You will accurately register and maintain such registration for each individual Digital Line assigned to each End User, IP Desk Phone, 911-Enabled Softphone or any other equipment, service, entity, or individual.

If you or your end users relocate or relocate any equipment in a way that any Registered Address becomes inaccurate, erroneous, or missing, you agree and agree that this is your responsibility to immediately update the Registered Address that it becomes current, accurate, and error free. You acknowledge that if you do not update the Registered Address, any 911 calls made from the Digital Line or a device may be sent to the wrong emergency response center and will not transmit your current location information to the emergency responders, where possible, delaying or preventing the emergency assistance to you, or the 911 service may not be available at all. It may take up to several hours for the address update to take effect, and it is your responsibility to make sure that your Registered Address was updated, is accurate, and always remains accurate and up to date.

Text-to-911 Services. In some areas, emergency operators can receive text messages sent to 911 (Text-to-911). In areas where it is available and possible, Your Service may, where available, allow emergency Short Message System (SMS) messages to be transmitted using a 911-Enabled Softphone. Such messages are automatically directed to the native dialer of a mobile device (e.g., smartphone), allowing You to send a message via Your wireless service provider. If wireless service is unavailable, the message cannot be sent. The Text-to-911 is not available on tablets or other mobile devices without a native phone dialer and a wireless service subscription.

Notification of Employees, Guests, or Other Users. You agree to notify all End Users, employees, contractors, guests, subscribers, or any person who may place calls or send messages using Services or may be present at the physical location where Services are used, of the limitations of 911 when using Services. You agree to affix an EVAS-provided upon your written request, sticker-warning that 911 services may be limited or unavailable in a readily visible place on each piece of equipment that might be used to access or use the Services. You, Your End Users, and any person who may place calls or send messages using Services should always have an alternative means for placing 911 calls and/or sending messages to 911.

Access to Emergency Services Outside the U.S. Customer acknowledges that should a caller using Services from outside the continental United States to call 911, it may not be possible to place q 911 call, or a caller may be instructed to hang up and call their local 911 service. Customer shall notify all users (i.e., business colleagues, employees, guests, and other persons who may be present at the physical location where Customer uses the Services) that 911 may not be available outside the United States and that 911 service may be limited in comparison to a traditional 911 service.

Disclaimer of Liability for Emergency Call Response. You acknowledge and agree that Your use, and use by Your End Users, and/or guests, or other third parties, of 911 services and Text-to-911 services via the Services and any products or service provided by or through EVAS are subject to the availability and limitations described herein.

The availability of certain features, such as transmission of a Registered Address or Your Digital Line number (caller ID or telephone number), depends on whether emergency response centers support those features, and are factors outside of EVAS’s control. EVAS relies on third parties to assist EVAS in routing, where possible, 911 calls and messages to emergency response centers, the NECC, and other organizations. EVAS does not have control over emergency response centers, the NECC, emergency responders, or other third parties. EVAS disclaims all responsibility for the conduct of emergency response centers, the NECC, and all other third parties involved in the provision of emergency response services. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by Law, You hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless EVAS from and against any and all liability relating to or arising from any acts or omissions of such third parties, EVAS, or other third parties involved in the handling of or response to any emergency or 911 call or message. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless EVAS, and any third-party provider(s) from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, or penalties arising out of: (i) Your provision to EVAS of incorrect information, including physical addresses, or Your failure to update Your Registered Address; (ii) Your failure to properly notify any person who may place calls using Services of the 911 limitations; or (iii) the absence, failure, or outage of the emergency service dialing using Services for any reason whatsoever; and (iv) the inability of any user of Service to be able to dial or access 911 or access emergency service personnel for any reason whatsoever.

You agree, represent, covenant, and warrant that: (i) neither You nor any End User (nor any entity or person that controls You or any End User) is located in an Embargoed Area or listed on any Export Control List; or (ii) will export or re-export any EVAS software, firmware, or hardware into any Embargoed Area or to any person, entity, or organization on any Export Control List, or to any person, entity, or organization subject to economic sanctions due to ownership or control by any such person, entity, or organization, without prior authorization by license, license exception, or license exemption; and (iii) the Services and products and services provided by or through EVAS will not be used or accessed from any Embargoed Area, or used for any military or paramilitary purposes; and (iv) that You hereby represent, covenant, and warrant that it is Your responsibility to verify compliance and comply with all applicable U.S. and foreign Laws concerning the import and export of technology, including without limitation the export and import of telecommunication, encryption, and dual-purpose technologies.

Recording Communications. Certain features of Your Services may allow You and/or Your End Users to record and store recorded communications. The notification and consent requirements concerning the recording of communications may vary from state to state and country to country. You hereby represent, covenant, and warrant that You will review all applicable Laws before You use or allow Your End Users to use Services to record any communications; and You and Your End Users will comply with all applicable Laws and will always inform all participants if their communications are recorded; and You will notify all Your End Users and any third parties that they must comply with all applicable Laws relating to their use of communications recording features. Violations of the call recording Laws may be subject to criminal and civil penalties.

EVAS expressly disclaims all liability with respect to your recording of any conversations and/or any other communications. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from any and all claims, including without limitation third party claims, losses, damages, fines, and penalties arising out of your violation or alleged violation of any communications recording and privacy laws. EVAS expressly disclaims all liability and all warranties with respect to recording of any communications.

Like most of the comprehensive commercial telecommunication solutions, and similar to most of the telecommunication service providers, EVAS may be required as part of the ordinary service delivery to screen, create copies, and/or store Your Customer Communications and/or associated meta-data due to technology requirements, service features (e.g., voicemail, call record details, etc.), system design (e.g., high availability and high assurance computing infrastructure requires creating copies of all system components and data), or limitations of the enabling technology. Nevertheless, certain communications EVAS is unable to screen due to the use of strong end-to-end communication security that EVAS may provide, where available. Though, EVAS may be unable to screen Your sensitive communications protected with end-to-end security, EVAS still requires a proper consent to comply with applicable Laws; therefore:

You acknowledge and agree that EVAS may have the ability and may access, screen, store, and make copies of some of Your, Your End Users’, and any entity’s and individual’s (that access Services in connection with your account) Customer Communications as part of the normal service delivery or in connection with the Service functionality. You hereby authorize, consent, and grant EVAS, its agents and service providers a right (that survives termination of this TOS) to fully access, screen, store, make copies, and transmit all Your, Your End Users’, and any entity’s and individual’s (that access the Services in connection with your account) communications, including all data to the full extent permissible by law. You also acknowledge and agree that EVAS is not able to screen and/or legibly record communications that are protected with strong end-to-end security (as EVAS recommends you use, and, where available, provides for transmitting sensitive communications), and therefore any such protected communications and data in case of a disaster, omission, error, malfunction, or similar event may not be recoverable, and may be lost completely and permanently. EVAS expressly disclaims all liability with respect to access, screening, recording, storing, transmitting, and copying of all communications and data whatsoever. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from any and all claims, including without limitation, third party claims, losses, damages, fines, and penalties arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any communication recording or privacy laws, or any data loss, or any privacy breach whatsoever. EVAS expressly disclaims all liability and all warranties with respect to any access, recoding, screening, storing, copying, and transmitting of any communications and any data.

Prohibited Use of Services. Neither You or any of Your End Users or any entity or individual accessing the Services through Your Account may use or allow to use the Services in any of the following ways. In addition, You represent, warrant, covenant, and agree that neither You or any End User, or any entity or individual accessing the Services through Your Account will do any of the following during the Term:

1. Use Services in any manner or for any purpose that is fraudulent, malicious, deceptive, abusive, obscene, threatening, harassing, tortious, improper, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, or in violation of any Law;
2. Intentionally send or transmit unsolicited, “junk” or “spam” advertisements (commercial or otherwise) without consent, including without limitation through email, voicemail, SMS, facsimile, internet facsimile, or any other means that EVAS may provide now or in the future;
3. Harvest or otherwise collect information about others, including without limitation email addresses, personally-identifiable and non-identifiable information of any kind;
4. Intentionally engage in broadcasting of bulk communications through any means that EVAS may provide now or in the future;
5. Perform auto-dialing or “predictive” dialing (i.e., non-manual dialing via software or device to continuously place out-bound calls or transmit any other communications);
6. Transmit any communications that would violate any applicable Law, including but not limited to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, the rules governing the Do-Not-Call Registry, Canadian Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules, and others;
7. Intentionally transmit or store any material that contains malware, spyware, or any other malicious code;
8. Transmit misleading or inaccurate caller ID information with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value, including by creating a false caller ID identity, or forged email/SMS addresses, or any headers, otherwise attempting to mislead others as to the identity of the sender or the origin of any Customer Communications;
9. Infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate foreign or domestic IP Rights or proprietary right of any party, including without limitation by transmitting or storing any material that might infringe on such rights, or be misappropriate, or otherwise violate any such right;
10. Violate the right of privacy, personality, or publicity of any party, including without limitation by transmitting or storing any material that might violate any such right;
11. Interfere with or disrupt Services, hinder or intentionally affect the Services in any manner that interferes with EVAS’s ability to provide products or services;
12. Circumvent, bypass, exploit, or otherwise avoid Your obligations or the provisions, restrictions, and prohibitions set forth in this TOS;
13. Sell; resell; distribute; lease; export; import; or otherwise grant or purport to grant rights to third parties with respect to Services;
14. Display or use any EVAS Mark in any manner in violation of EVAS’s then-current policies on its trademark and logo usage, or without EVAS’s express prior written permission;
15. Undertake, direct, attempt, cause, permit, or authorize the modification, creation of derivative works, translation, reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or hacking of Services, any software, firmware, or hardware provided by or through EVAS, unless EVAS expressly authorizes You in writing.
16. Defeat, disable, or circumvent any security mechanism related to Services;
17. Intercept, capture, sniff, monitor, modify, emulate, decrypt, or redirect any communications or data in any manner, unless EVAS expressly authorizes You to do so in writing;
18. Allow any service provider or other third party, except EVAS’s authorized maintenance providers, acting with EVAS’s express authorization, to conduct maintenance or repair of Services;
19. Gain access to or use (or attempt to gain access or use) the Services in any unauthorized manner, including, without limitation, through exploitation of vulnerabilities in security controls;
20. Violate or take an action to jeopardize, limit, or interfere with EVAS’s IP Rights;

A breach of obligations in this Section constitutes a material breach of this TOS, such that EVAS at its sole discretion may suspend the Services or use of any product, terminate this TOS immediately, and take any other action that EVAS deems necessary.

CHARGES AND PLAN CREDITS

Please note that all prices, Taxes, surcharges, and fees are subject to change at any time. If EVAS does not specifically indicate other currency in the pricing documentation, all prices are in the U.S. Dollars and any payment to EVAS in any other currency, where applicable, will be converted to and settled in the U.S. Dollars. You are responsible for paying all charges for Your and Your End Users’ Services, according to Your Pricing Plan(s), and any other products and services that EVAS provides to You and Your End Users, and for all Taxes, surcharges, and fees EVAS imposes on You and/or Your End Users. Customers with a past due balance on previous or multiple accounts will be charged the full balance upon opening a new Account or at any time as EVAS deems appropriate. EVAS also reserves the right to charge termination and transfer fees consistent with the terms and conditions of this TOS.

Charges and Plan Credits. EVAS may offer one or more Service Plans, as well as supplementary free or paid features, products, and services. In many cases EVAS allows its customers to change a Service Plan after it was purchased. However, EVAS may charge You a fee for any such change when “downgrading” an existing Service Plan to a Service Plan with lower fees, such as “downgrading” from an unlimited Service Plan to a metered Service Plan. In addition, certain Service Plans may entitle You to receive discounts on equipment used with Services, if any, or other discounts, rebates, or promotional items. If You received any equipment, discounts, rebates, or promotional items associated with Your Service Plan and subsequently change that Service Plan to one that does not offer those discounts, rebates, or promotional items without completing its Term, You agree to reimburse EVAS, and hereby authorize EVAS to charge Your Payment Method on file, or invoice You, as applicable, for any such equipment, discounts, rebates, and promotional items.

Service Availability. You acknowledge and agree that the products and services, including without limitation the Services, may not be available one hundred percent (100%) of the time. EVAS or its suppliers may experience technical or other complications that may lead to unavailability or degraded performance of certain services, including some or all Services, and any associated products and services (“Unplanned Downtime”). EVAS and its suppliers may also perform scheduled or unscheduled maintenance of equipment and systems, as well as conduct training of personnel that may lead to interruptions of service, including the Services (“Maintenance”). EVAS will attempt, when possible, to notify You and Your End Users of any Maintenance ahead of time. However, it is Your responsibility to check appropriate documentation and resources, such as EVAS’s website, for any Maintenance schedules or Maintenance activity, and plan, prepare, and act accordingly. In case of an Unplanned Downtime of Services that lasts longer than fifteen (15) minutes in any calendar month, EVAS, at its sole discretion and on a case-by-case basis, may provide You a one-time discount that under no circumstances shall ten percent (10%) of Your prorated payment for that calendar month. Such discount may be applied only one time, regardless of the number of Unplanned Downtime events and their total length of time. Such discount shall be Your sole remedy for any Service interruption, deterioration, or other issues with respect to Unplanned Downtime of Services or any other services provided to You by or through EVAS.

EVAS expressly disclaims all liability with respect to any unplanned downtime, maintenance, or any other deterioration or outage of any product or service, including but not limited to the Services. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from any and all claims, including without limitation third party claims, losses, damages, fines, and penalties arising out of any unplanned downtime, maintenance, or any other degradation or outage of any product or service, including but not limited to the Services. EVAS expressly disclaims all liability and all warranties with respect to any unplanned downtime, maintenance, or any other outage or deterioration of any product or service whatsoever, and expressly disclaims all liability and all warranties with respect to any adverse consequences arising from such, and EVAS’s ability to restore or repair any products or service.

Service Plan Credits. As part of Your Service Plan or other transactions with EVAS, EVAS may provide credits, such as Domestic Minute Credit, International Minute Credit, Toll-Free Minute Credit, Billing Credit, Account Credit, and other types of credits (“Credits”). Such credits, in no event have any monetary value or be exchangeable or exchanged for cash.

Certain Service Plans may include a number of monthly (or any other period) Usage call minutes (also referred to as “minutes”), such as: Domestic Minute Credit (“Domestic Minutes”), International Minute Credit (“International Minutes”), and Toll-Free Minute Credit (“Toll-Free Minutes”). The Credits can only be applied to specific Digital Lines that they were issued for, and within an Account they were issued for, and only within the specified validity term (other conditions and limitations may apply). Certain Service Plans may allow You to purchase such additional “minutes” if You exceed the number of such “minutes” provided in Your Service Plan. In addition, international calling may be charged at a different rate than domestic calling or have additional limitations, thus, a “minute” of one “minute” type under no circumstances will entitle You to a “minute” of another “minute” type, and they are not interchangeable or convertible.

EVAS may issue You another type of Credits—Account Credits that normally apply to all Service Plan services, unless EVAS indicates otherwise, except the services where the “minutes” apply, such as Usage of Digital Line call minutes. Account Credits may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or applied to any Account or customer; except the Account they were issued for.

The Credit terms, in addition to this TOS, may be outlined in the appropriate Service Plan documentation, or could be established by EVAS’s authorized sales or support representatives. In case of discrepancies between the Service Plan documentation and information provided by an authorized EVAS representative, the information provided by the representative, unless EVAS later determines otherwise, shall prevail. EVAS may provide You with certain bonus Credits and/or other promotional incentives upon fulfillment of the applicable promotion requirements. If Credit time term is not specified in the documentation, except the Billing Credit, Credit can only be applied within thirty-one (31) days of issuance, or before the end of the current then billing cycle of the Service Plan, whichever is the least, or as determined by EVAS. All Credits shall be applied, used, and expire according to this TOS and the terms of their purchase or issuance, including additional restrictions that such terms may include. EVAS reserves the right to amend such terms on issued and new Credits at any time and without notice.

Metered Service Plan. EVAS may offer a metered Service Plan that may include or has an option for You to buy a Digital Line(s). Such Service Plan may include an allotment of “minutes” for a Digital Line and it may include other billing items. When You exhaust the “minutes” allotted or when Your billing cycle is due, EVAS will bill Your Account for products and services as specified in your Service Plan, including for any “minutes” allotment(s) or the “minutes” You have already consumed. Any specified overages will be debited at their applicable rate(s). A Service Plan may require You to prepay some or all Services, or You may be able to consume Services first and EVAS will bill Your Account within a specified period or at specified date (post pay), or as indicated in Your Service Plan. A metered Service Plan may have no “minutes” allotment, where all Usage will be debited at the applicable rate(s), as specified herein and/or in Your Service Plan. In limited instances, some Services that You consume under a metered Service Plan may not be counted against Your Service Plan “minutes” allotment and You may not be billed for (e.g., calls made via a local phone number to check a voicemail, etc.). For international calling, international rates apply at all times. You may also be required under Your metered Service Plan to provide a deposit to EVAS that will be used at the end of Your Service Plan to pay for consumed Services. Otherwise, the deposit or any remaining part thereof will be returned to You within sixty (60) days if, at EVAS’s sole discretion, EVAS determines that no disputes, debts, or charges are remaining with or related to Your Account.

Unlimited Service Plan. EVAS may offer an unlimited Service Plan that may include or has an option for You to buy a Digital Line(s). Such Service Plan may include an unlimited allotment of “minutes” for a Digital Line, and it may include other billing items. Any unlimited allotment is subject to EVAS’s reasonable and acceptable use policy and available service capacity and resources. If EVAS, at its sole discretion determines that Your Usage of the unlimited Service Plan violates this TOS, or adversely affects EVAS, the Services, or other customers, or Your or Your End Users’ Usage violates EVAS’s reasonable and acceptable use policy, as EVAS determines and amends from time to time, than EVAS may, in its sole discretion with or without a notice to You, either terminate Your unlimited Service Plan, or immediately convert Your unlimited Service Plan to a metered Service Plan, as set forth above, or decrease the availability and/or performance of Your Services. For the avoidance of doubt, no unlimited International Minutes are offered under the unlimited Service Plan. All international calls are metered, and international rates apply at all times, including the calls from/to outside the continental United States. In addition, EVAS may require that You provide a deposit to EVAS that will be used at the end of Your Service Plan Term to pay for the Services consumed. Otherwise, such deposit or any remaining part thereof will be returned to You within sixty (60) days if, at EVAS’s sole discretion, EVAS determines that no disputes, debts, or charges are remaining with or related to Your Account.

Discounts. EVAS may offer promotions, discounts, rebates, and other promotional incentives (“Discounts”). You may provide, where applicable, a Discount code to EVAS at the time of purchasing Your Service Plan. Discounts may not be used cumulatively or retroactively, unless EVAS expressly states otherwise in writing.

BILLING AND PAYMENT

Service Plan Fees. The initial order sets forth, where applicable, one-time fees and the base recurring fees for the Service Plan, the allotment of “minutes” for a Digital Line, the billing period (billing cycle), and other allotments and billable items. Any applicable provisioning charges are billed in full in advance, unless EVAS expressly states otherwise in writing; and any support service charges, subscriptions, Usage, and other recurring charges are billed as per the Service Plan billing cycle. EVAS may bill you in arrears for certain Services and/or other products and service (e.g., “minutes” under the metered Service Plan, equipment return fees, etc.). Upon termination of Your Account for any reason or, if applicable, a Digital Line, all unused “minutes,” if any, shall expire in their entirety on the termination date. No refund, transfer or proration shall be made of any unused “minutes” or any other Credits, except Billing Credits.

Taxes and Fees. All fees for services advertised or otherwise listed on the EVAS website or in other promotional material are exclusive of any Taxes, unless EVAS expressly states otherwise in writing. You agree to pay all Taxes and similar liabilities that may now or hereafter be levied on the products and services that You and/or Your End Users buy from or through EVAS. Should EVAS pay or be required to pay any such liabilities, including any Taxes that were due but not charged or previously collected, You agree that EVAS may charge Your Payment Method on file or invoice You, as applicable, for such payments upon issuing to You an invoice, showing of indebtedness to EVAS.

Billing for Mid-Term Transactions. In the event that any purchase or transaction results in an incurred additional charge, and it occurs subsequent to the beginning of a Service Plan’s then-current billing cycle, EVAS may require that You honor such charge immediately—thus, EVAS may bill Your Account at that time. EVAS may also choose to pro-rate any charge for the remainder of the Service Plan Term and bill You conterminously with each subsequent cycle. You agree that EVAS may charge Your Payment Method on file or invoice You, as applicable, for such payment(s) upon issuing You an invoice, showing of indebtedness to EVAS.

Late Fees. You acknowledge and agree that any fees or charges not paid when due shall incur an interest at a rate of the lesser of: twelve percent (12%) per annum, or the highest rate allowed by Law. In addition, a late payment fee of twenty-five US Dollars ($25.00), or one percent (1%) of the total amount overdue, or the highest rate allowed by Law, whichever is more (“Late Fee”) shall be due at each subsequent billing cycle while the overdue amount exists. EVAS’s acceptance of the late or partial payment, regardless of how it is marked or designated shall not waive, limit, or prejudice in any way EVAS’s rights to collect any amount due. EVAS may terminate Services and this TOS for non-payment if any fees or charges are not paid or otherwise settled by You to the satisfaction of EVAS, in its sole discretion, within thirty-one (31) days of the due date, or in some cases immediately, as determined by EVAS. EVAS reserves the right to cancel, halt, or downgrade any of its products and services provided to You and Your End Users at any time in case of Your non-payment to EVAS. You agree that EVAS may charge Your Payment Method on file or invoice You, as applicable, for all Late Fees, collection expenses incurred by EVAS, and all other costs, interests, and fees related to Your non-payment or delay of payment upon issuing You an invoice, showing of indebtedness to EVAS.

Form of Payment. All fees and charges can be paid to EVAS by check, credit or debit card, or a direct debit of Your bank account (“Payment Method”). You agree to be liable for all processing fees, including but not limited to foreign exchange fees and currency conversion costs, as EVAS may incur, or the maximum amount allowed by Law. For any charge attempt of Your Payment Method that was not honored by Your financial institution, EVAS may charge You a twenty US Dollars ($20.00) processing fee, or the highest amount allowed by Law. You agree that EVAS may charge Your Payment Method on file or invoice You, as applicable, for such payment(s).

When You register an Account or subscribe to a Service Plan, EVAS may require You to provide a Payment Method(s) and authorize EVAS, or its designated agent(s), to collect from the Payment Method You have provided. Any authorization to charge Your Payment Method will remain valid for at least ninety (90) days after You withdraw the authorization, or immediately upon provision of a replacement valid Payment Method. Upon termination of this TOS, EVAS will charge You any outstanding amounts and disconnect Your Services. You agree to advise and notify EVAS and/or its designated agent(s) of any changes to Your Payment Method(s), such as a new credit card number, expiration date, etc. If the Payment Method registered with Your Account is declined or fails for any reason, EVAS will use reasonable efforts to contact You and advise You of the failed Payment Method verification or failed billing attempts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, EVAS reserves the right to disconnect Your Services and terminate Your Account if Your payment method is declined or fails for any reason, or if You withdraw authorization to charge a valid Payment Method and do not provide an alternative valid Payment Method. EVAS reserves the right to continue to attempt charging Your Payment Method for any outstanding charges and pursue any other legal remedies available to EVAS.

Disputed Amounts. You will waive the right to dispute any billed amount if You do not dispute such amount within thirty-one (31) days of the date of its billing. In the event that You timely dispute a billed amount and EVAS confirms that You were over-billed, EVAS shall credit the applicable Account in the amount of the over-billing (“Billing Credits”). Billing Credits shall be EVAS’s sole and exclusive obligation and Your sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any erroneous billing, unless EVAS in its sole discretion determines otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if You request that Your financial institution performs a chargeback or decline to process a payment without first contacting EVAS to dispute the charge, and EVAS subsequently determines that the charge(s) at issue are not erroneous, EVAS reserves the right to terminate Your Account and any services immediately and take any available legal action. You are solely liable for all transactions and Usage related to Your Account, whether by You, any End User, or any other user in connection with Your Services, and in no event shall EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers be liable for any unauthorized use whatsoever of Your Account.

CUSTOMER COMMUNICATIONS AND ACCOUNT DATA

Passive Conduit Role. The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) EVAS’s role with respect to Customer Communications and the content thereof shall be that of a passive conduit; and (ii) any storage of Customer Communications and/or Account Data by EVAS shall be performed merely as a convenience to You and as a compliment to and incidental to EVAS’s core data transmission function, unless such data storage is a part of or a feature of Your Service Plan.

Disclaimer of Data Storage Responsibilities. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) EVAS shall have no obligation to store, retain, transmit, back-up, or ensure the availability of any stored Customer Communications and/or Account Data, unless such data storage is a part of or a feature of Your Service Plan; (ii) to the extent that You wish to retain any Account Data and/or Customer Communications, or other information related to Your Services, Your Account, or other EVAS’s products and service, You shall ensure that, where available, such information is downloaded, saved, and/or backed-up outside of Your Services or Account; (iii) You shall not rely on Your Services or Account as a repository for or means by which to retain, store, or back-up Your Customer Communications and/or Account Data or any other data, unless such data storage is a part of or a feature of Your Service Plan; (iv) EVAS may delete or purge any and all copies and versions of any stored Customer Communications and/or Account Data or other data at any time, without notice, including without limitation, after You delete any such information from an Account or after termination of this TOS or closure of Your Account; and (v) EVAS may, in its sole discretion and without a notice to You or Your End Users, implement reasonable limits as to the size, availability, reliability, security, and duration of storage of any Customer Communications and/or Account Data, and any other data, whether such services are part of or a feature of Your Service Plan or not.

Access to Account Data. You and Your End Users may be able to access, where available, some Account Data and stored Customer Communications only via the relevant Customer Portal or as EVAS otherwise specifies. You acknowledge and agree that EVAS will not provide You, Your End Users, or any third parties designated by You any access to Account Data or stored Customer Communications, except as otherwise set forth herein or as required by Law.

Information Gathering and Production. You acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances this TOS obligates EVAS to perform the following: (i) investigate, access, correct, alter, gather, compile, review, verify, or produce any Account Data, Customer Communications, or any other records, documents, and evidence related to You, Your End Users, Your Services, and any other products and services provided by or through EVAS, unless EVAS expressly states otherwise in writing; (ii) provision of legal or other counsel or consulting; or (iii) provide assistance with installation, tuning, administration, maintenance, repair, deployment, integration, cessation, or configuration of any system, device, or network that is outside of the EVAS’s authority or control, or that is not covered in Your Service Plan or another agreement between You and EVAS. For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided herein or required by Law, EVAS is not obligated to: (i) determine, prove, or disprove any fact or claim; (ii) pursue or defend against any claim, allegation, action, lawsuit, demand, or proceeding; (iii) substantiate any party’s compliance with any Law or Legal Process; (iv) respond to or comply with any request or demand; (v) identify any party; or (vi) conduct any surveillance.

Export of Account Data. You acknowledge and agree that any Account Data, stored Customer Communications, or other information or materials that You, where available, may export, will not be under EVAS’s control and will not be subject to EVAS’s technical and other controls. You, Your End Users and any entity or individual accessing Your Account, Your Account Data, or Your Customer Communications must comply with all applicable Laws and regulations.

Release. You hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless EVAS, its agents, partners, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from and against any and all liability relating to or arising from its acts or omissions in accordance with this Section.

HIPAA

No PHI. You acknowledge and agree that Services are not intended for use as a repository or means by which to store PHI, as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, and similar legislation in other jurisdictions, and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto (such laws and regulations, “HIPAA”; such information, “PHI”) on a non-temporary basis; and You represent and warrant that You will not use Services and any ancillary product or service that is a part thereof for such purpose without EVAS’s prior express permission.

Unless EVAS specifically states it in the applicable Service Plan documentation, EVAS makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that your Services (or the use of any of the foregoing by any party) complies or will comply with HIPAA or any other regulation or standard, or will render any party compliant with HIPAA or any other regulation, unless EVAS expressly states otherwise in writing.

HIPAA Enablement. EVAS may provide certain controls relevant to HIPAA requirements (“HIPAA Controls”) for its United States-based customers. And so, You further acknowledge and agree that:

1. Activation of HIPAA Controls may result in automatic and permanent deletion from the applicable Account(s) of Customer Communications and other data that is stored in those Account(s);
2. If any Customer Communications or other data that must be deleted is thirty (30) or more days old and currently stored in the applicable Account(s), it may be permanently deleted from such Account(s), and such deletion may occur as soon as immediately after activation of the HIPAA Controls, and thus, you authorize EVAS to permanently and irrevocably delete now and continue deleting in the future at any time any such data from your Account(s) and all parts and components of Your and Your End Users’Services, including any relevant systems and End Points, as well as anywhere within the information technology infrastructure under EVAS’s control;
3. The deletion functions described above may permanently delete Customer Communications such that they are not retained by EVAS in any form (including on any back up or disaster recovery system);
4. The HIPAA Controls may disable SMS messaging and other functionality in applicable Account(s) and on Digital Lines.

You hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from and against any and all liability relating to or arising from its acts, errors, and omissions in accordance with this section.

DIGITAL LINE NUMBER POLICIES

Digital Line Number Availability. EVAS may make available certain Digital Lines for Your and/or Your End User selection and assignment. You acknowledge and agree that EVAS’s listing of a Digital Line number (may be referred to as “number”) may be erroneous and does not constitute a representation or guarantee that such “number” is actually available for such assignment. Therefore, You and Your End Users authorize EVAS and agree that EVAS can remove any “number” from any Account(s) in the event that it is not actually available, or if EVAS in its sole discretion determines that such action is necessary.

You hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from and against any and all liability relating to or arising from its acts, errors, and omissions in accordance with this section.

Porting Law. Number porting is defined and regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”).

Number Port-In Request Procedures. In order to request the porting of a Digital Line number into an Account, the Account Administrator into which You wish the Digital Line number to be ported must provide all information that EVAS requires as part of the number port-in request process, which may include without limitation an executed Letter of Agency.

Porting Process. In order to request a port-out of a Digital Line number assigned to Your Account to another service provider, You must follow the instructions of that service provider. You acknowledge and agree that (i) porting of a Digital Line number into or out of Your Account requires You to provide certain information to EVAS and/or EVAS’s designated agent and/or a service provider; and (ii) You must complete certain procedural steps that involve, among other things, providing to EVAS sufficient proof that You have a right to request such porting. Therefore, completion of any Digital Line number porting request, and the time required for such request to be completed, depends on factors outside of EVAS’s control.

Thus, EVAS specifically makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that any Digital Line number can be ported-in or ported-out to/from Your Account, and that EVAS will be able to maintain an assignment of a Digital Line number to your account, and that EVAS, its service providers, and/or agents will be able to port any Digital Line numbers upon Your or Your End Users’ request.

Unauthorized Port-Outs. You acknowledge that Digital Line numbers may be ported out from Your Account due to acts, errors, and omissions of EVAS and/or third parties, and it may be difficult or impossible for EVAS to: (i) prevent such port-outs; (ii) retrieve Digital Line numbers ported-out of Your Account; or (iii) port such Digital Line numbers back into Your Account. EVAS has no responsibility or liability due to such erroneous port-outs. You hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from and against any and all liability relating to or arising from unauthorized or erroneous porting-in or porting-out, and inability of EVAS to port-in or port-out any Digital Line number.

Accurate Porting Information.

Electronic documents introduced as evidence in any judicial, arbitration, mediation, or administrative proceeding will, if established and maintained in the ordinary course of business, be admissible to the same extent as business records in written form that are similarly established and maintained.

Assignment. Either party may assign this TOS and any of its rights and obligations hereunder with the other party’s prior written consent (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except that EVAS may, without notice, assign the TOS and all of EVAS’s rights and obligations hereunder to: (i) an affiliate; or (ii) EVAS’s successor or surviving entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or the transfer or disposition of more than fifty percent (50%) of EVAS’s voting control or assets. Any purported transfer or assignment in violation of this section is void. Subject to the foregoing, this TOS shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, permitted assigns, and legal representatives.

Severability. If any provision or portion of the Agreement is determined to be invalid, unlawful, illegal, void, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then (i) that provision or portion shall be construed in such a manner as to render the provision or portion enforceable and, to the extent possible, to reflect the Parties’ original intent, and (ii) the remaining provisions and portions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Survival. The following provisions of this TOS will survive termination or expiration of this TOS for the maximum term allowed by Law: (i) Your payment obligations; (ii) terms relating to intellectual property ownership, customer representations, confidentiality, storage of user information, publicity rights, non-disparagement, indemnification, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, dispute resolution and arbitration, and choice of law; and (iii) all provisions that are intended by their nature to survive termination of this agreement.

Future Changes. EVAS may change the terms of this TOS from time to time upon an electronic notice on the EVAS’s website, or Your Account, or on Your billing statement, or as otherwise required by Law. You agree to carefully read and review each such notice regarding any change of this TOS. Subject to applicable Law, the modified terms shall replace and supersede all previously agreed to electronic and written terms, as well as any prior versions of this TOS and become binding on You on the later of the date they are posted on the EVAS’s website (www.evas.live), or as otherwise indicated in the notice to You. You agree that You are solely responsible for: (i) making sure that Your registered email address is current and functional: (ii) checking Your registered email regularly; (iii) checking the EVAS’s website and Your Account page regularly; and (iv) making sure that EVAS communications are not blocked or rendered undeliverable by You, Your computer, any software installed on Your computer, Your Internet service provider, or for any other reason. Continued use of Services will constitute Your acceptance of the modified terms. If the terms of this TOS are amended and You do not wish to accept the modified terms, You may terminate this TOS as provided for in the “Termination” section.
