IMPORTANT: please read this end user license agreement carefully. It is very important that you check that you are obtaining EVAS software and/or equipment (further herein “software”) from an approved source and that you, or the entity you represent (collectively, the “Customer”) have been registered as the end user for the purposes of this EVAS end user license agreement (EULA). If you are not registered as the end user, you have no license to use the software and the limited warranty in this end user license agreement does not apply. Assuming you have obtained from an approved source, downloading, installing, or using EVAS-supplied software constitutes acceptance of this agreement.

EVAS LLC (“EVAS”) is willing to license this software to you only upon the condition that you obtained the software from an approved source and that you accept all of the terms contained in this agreement plus any additional limitations on the license set forth in supplemental license agreements, made available at the time of your order, or posted on the EVAS website at www.evas.live (collectively the “agreement”). To the extent of any conflict between the terms of this agreement and any supplemental license agreement, the supplemental license agreement shall apply. By downloading, installing, or using the software, you are representing that you obtained the software from an approved source and binding yourself to this agreement. If you do not agree to all of the terms of this agreement, then EVAS is unwilling to license the software to you and (a) you may not download, install or use the software, and (b) you may return the software (including any unopened package and any written materials), or, if the software and written materials are supplied as part of another product, you may return the entire product. Your right to return expires 30 days after obtaining from an approved source and it applies only if you are the original and registered end user. For the purposes of this agreement, an “approved source” means (a) EVAS; or (b) a distributor or systems integrator authorized by EVAS to distribute or sell EVAS software and services within your territory; or (c) a reseller authorized by any such distributor or systems integrator in accordance with the terms of the distributor’s agreement with EVAS to distribute or sell EVAS software and services within your territory.

The following terms of the agreement govern customer’s use of software, except to the extent: (a) there is a separate signed contract between customer and EVAS governing customer’s use of software, or (b) the software includes a separate “click-accept” license agreement or third-party license agreement as part of the installation or download, governing customer’s use of software. To the extent of a conflict between the provisions of the foregoing documents, the order of precedence shall be (1) the signed contract, (2) the click-accept agreement or third-party license agreement, and (3) this agreement. For the purposes of this agreement, “software” shall mean computer programs and equipment, including firmware and computer programs embedded in the equipment, as provided to customer by an approved source, and any upgrades, updates, bug fixes or modified versions thereto (collectively, “upgrades”), any of the same which has been relicensed under EVAS software transfer and the relicensing policy or backup copies of any of the foregoing.

The EVAS’s products and services may also be governed by the Terms of Service (TOS) agreement that can be found on the EVAS’s website. Any terms, whether capitalized or not, that are not otherwise defined in this EULA shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the TOS. In the event of any conflict between this EULA and the TOS, the TOS shall control.

License. Conditioned upon compliance with the terms and conditions of this agreement, EVAS grants to customer a nonexclusive and nontransferable license to use for customer’s purposes the software and documentation which customer has lawfully acquired, and where necessary, paid the required license fees to an approved source. Documentation means written information (whether contained in user or technical manuals, training materials, specifications or otherwise) pertaining to the software and made available by an approved source.

Customer’s license to use software shall be limited to, and customer shall not use the software in excess of, a single hardware chassis or card or such other limitations as set forth in the applicable supplemental license agreement or in the applicable purchase order that has been accepted by an approved source and for which, where required, customer has paid to an approved source the required license fee (the “Purchase Order”).

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the documentation or an applicable supplemental license agreement, customer shall use the software solely as embedded in, for execution on, or (where the applicable documentation permits installation on non-EVAS equipment) for communication with EVAS equipment owned or leased by customer and used for customer’s internal business purposes. No other licenses are granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise. For evaluation, beta, or else, copies for which EVAS does not charge a license fee, the above requirement to pay license fees does not apply.

General Limitations. This is a license, not a transfer of title, to software and documentation, and EVAS retains ownership of all copies of software and documentation. Customer acknowledges that software and documentation contain trade secrets of EVAS and/or its suppliers or licensors, including but not limited to the specific internal design and structure of individual programs and associated interface information. Except as otherwise expressly provided under this agreement, customer shall only use software in connection with the use of EVAS equipment and/or services purchased by customer from an approved source, and customer shall have no right, and customer specifically agrees not to:

1. transfer, assign or sublicense its license rights to any other person or entity (other than in compliance with EVAS relicensing/transfer policy then in force), or use software on EVAS equipment and/or services not obtained by the customer from an approved source or on secondhand EVAS equipment, and customer acknowledges that any attempted transfer, assignment, sublicense or use shall be void;
2. make error corrections to or otherwise modify or adapt the software or create derivative works based upon the software, or permit third parties to do the same;
3. reverse engineer or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise reduce the software to human-readable form, except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under applicable law, notwithstanding this restriction, or except to the extent that EVAS is legally required to permit such specific activity pursuant to an applicable open source license;
4. publish any results of benchmark tests on software, equipment, or services;
5. use or permit the software to be used to perform similar services for third parties, whether on a service bureau or time sharing basis or otherwise, without the express written authorization of EVAS; or
6. disclose, provide, or otherwise make available trade secrets contained within the software or documentation in any form to any third party without the prior written consent of EVAS. Customer shall implement reasonable security measures to protect such trade secrets.

 

Software, Upgrades and Additional Copies. Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement: (1) customer has no license or right to make or use any additional copies or upgrades unless customer, at the time of making or acquiring such copy or upgrade, already holds a valid license to the original software and has paid the applicable fee to an approved source for the upgrade or additional copies; (2) use of upgrades is limited to EVAS software supplied by an approved source for which customer is the original end user purchaser or lessee or otherwise holds a valid license to use the software which is being upgraded; and (3) the making and use of additional copies is limited to necessary backup purposes only.

Proprietary Notices. Customer agrees to maintain and reproduce all copyright, proprietary, and other notices on all copies, in any form, of software in the same form and manner that such copyright and other proprietary notices are included on the software. Except as expressly authorized in the agreement, customer shall not make any copies or duplicates of software without the prior written permission of EVAS.

EVAS and the EVAS logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of EVAS and/or its affiliates in the U.S. and other countries. Third-party trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. The use of the word partner does not imply a partnership relationship between EVAS and any other company.

Term and Termination. The agreement and the license granted herein shall remain effective until terminated. Customer may terminate the agreement and the license at any time by destroying all copies of software and any documentation. Customer’s rights under the agreement will terminate immediately without notice from EVAS if customer fails to comply with any provision of the agreement. Upon termination, customer shall destroy all copies of software and documentation in its possession or control. All confidentiality obligations of customer, all restrictions and limitations imposed on the customer under the section titled “General Limitations” and all limitations of liability, disclaimers, and restrictions of warranty shall survive the termination of this agreement. In addition, the provisions of the sections titled “U.S. Government End User Purchasers” and “General Terms Applicable to the Limited Warranty Statement and End User License Agreement” shall survive the termination of this agreement.

Export, Re-Export, Transfer and Use Controls. The software, documentation and technology or direct products thereof (hereafter referred to as “software and technology”), supplied by EVAS under this agreement are subject to export controls under the laws and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”). Customer shall comply with such laws and regulations governing export, re-export, import, transfer, and use of EVAS software and technology and will obtain all required U.S. and local authorizations, permits, and licenses. EVAS and customer each agree to provide the other information, support documents, and assistance as may reasonably be required by the other in connection with securing authorizations or licenses.

U.S. Government End User Purchasers. The software and documentation qualify as “commercial items,” as that term is defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in FAR 12.212. Consistent with FAR 12.212 and DoD FAR Supp. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, and notwithstanding any other FAR or other contractual clause to the contrary in any agreement into which this agreement may be incorporated, customer may provide to the Government end user or, if the agreement is direct, the Government end user will acquire, the software and documentation with only those rights as set forth in this agreement. Use of either the software or documentation or both constitutes agreement by the Government that the software and documentation are “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” and constitutes acceptance of the rights and restrictions herein.

Identified Components; Additional Terms. The software may contain or be delivered with one or more components, which may include third-party components and/or third-party click-accept (the “Identified Component(s)”) that are subject to another license agreement terms, disclaimers of warranties, limited warranties, or other terms and conditions (collectively, “Additional Terms”) than those set forth herein. By accepting terms and conditions of this agreement, customer agrees to be bound by the Additional Terms for any such Identified Component(s).

Limited Warranty. Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein, EVAS warrants that commencing from the date of shipment to customer (in the case of resale by an approved source other than EVAS), and continuing for a period of the longer of (a) ninety (90) days or (b) the warranty period (if any) expressly set forth as applicable specifically to the software in the warranty card accompanying the product of which the software is a part of (the “Product”): (a) the media on which the software is furnished will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use; and (b) the software substantially conforms to the documentation. Except for the foregoing, software is provided “AS IS”. This limited warranty extends only to software obtained from an approved source by a customer who is the registered end user. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of EVAS and its suppliers under this limited warranty will be (i) replacement of defective media and/or (ii) at EVAS’s option, repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase price of software, in both cases subject to the condition that any error or defect constituting a breach of this limited warranty is reported to the approved source supplying the software to customer, within the warranty period. EVAS or the approved source supplying software to customer may, at its option, require returning the software and documentation as a condition of the remedy. In no event does EVAS warrant that the software, equipment, and services are error free or that customer will be able to operate the software, equipment, or services without problems or interruptions. In addition, due to the continual development of new techniques for intruding upon and attacking networks, EVAS does not warrant that the software, equipment, services, systems, and networks on which or in connection with software, equipment and/or services are used, will be free of vulnerability to intrusion or attack.

Restrictions. This warranty does not apply if the software, Product or any other equipment upon which the software is authorized to be used (a) has been altered, except by EVAS or its authorized representative, (b) has not been installed, operated, repaired, or maintained in accordance with instructions supplied by EVAS, (c) has been subjected to abnormal physical or electrical stress, abnormal environmental conditions, misuse, negligence, or accident; or (d) is licensed for beta, evaluation, testing or demonstration purposes. The software warranty also does not apply to (e) any temporary software modules; (f) any software that EVAS expressly provides on an “AS IS” basis; (g) any software for which an approved source does not receive a license fee, where applicable; and (h) software supplied by a third party which is not an approved source.

Disclaimer of Warranty. Except as specified in this warranty section, all express or implied conditions, representations, and warranties including, without limitation, any implied warranty or condition of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, satisfactory quality, non-interference, accuracy of informational content, or arising from a course of dealing, law, usage, or trade practice, are hereby excluded to the extent allowed by applicable law and are expressly disclaimed by EVAS, its suppliers and licensors. To the extent that any of the same cannot be excluded, such implied condition, representation and/or warranty is limited in duration to the express warranty period referred to in the “Limited Warranty” section of this agreement. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, the above limitation may not apply in such states or regions. This warranty gives customer specific legal rights, and customer may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. This disclaimer and exclusion shall apply even if the express warranty set forth above fails of its essential purpose.

Disclaimer of Liabilities-Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything else in the agreement to the contrary, all liability of EVAS, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, suppliers and licensors collectively, to customer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of warranty or otherwise, shall not exceed the price paid by customer to any approved source for the software that gave rise to the claim; or if the software is part of another product, the price paid for such other product. This limitation of liability for software is cumulative and not per incident (i.e., the existence of two or more claims will not enlarge this limit). The foregoing exclusion shall not apply to any liability arising out of or in connection with EVAS’s liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Disclaimer of Liabilities-Waiver of Consequential Damages and Other Losses. Regardless of whether any remedy set forth herein fails of its essential purpose or otherwise, in no event will EVAS and its suppliers be liable for any lost revenue, profit, or lost or damaged data, business interruption, loss of capital, or for special, indirect, consequential, incidental, or punitive damages however caused and regardless of the theory of liability, or whether arising out of the use of or inability to use software, or otherwise, and even if EVAS or its suppliers or licensors have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow limitation or exclusion of consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. The foregoing exclusion shall not apply to any liability arising out of or in connection with EVAS’s liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that EVAS has set its prices and entered into this agreement in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same reflect an allocation of risk between the parties (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties.

Controlling Law, Jurisdiction. If you acquired the software in any country, unless expressly prohibited by local law, the agreement and warranties are controlled by and construed under the laws of the State of Virginia, United States of America, notwithstanding any conflicts of law provisions; and the state and federal courts of Virginia shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim arising under this agreement or warranties.

The parties specifically disclaim the application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek interim injunctive relief in any court of appropriate jurisdiction with respect to any alleged breach of such party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights. If any portion hereof is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this agreement and warranties shall remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly provided herein, the agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the license of the software and documentation and supersedes any conflicting or additional terms contained in any purchase order or elsewhere, all of which terms are excluded. The agreement has been written in the English language, and the parties agree that the English version will govern.

Future Changes. EVAS may change the terms of this EULA from time to time upon an electronic notice on the EVAS’s website or as otherwise required by law. You agree to carefully read and review each such notice regarding any change of this EULA. 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 EULA and become binding on You on the later of the date they are posted on the EVAS’s website, 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 (iv) making sure that EVAS communications are not blocked or rendered undeliverable by You, Your computer, or any software installed on Your computer, Your Internet service provider, or for any other reason. Continued use of EVAS products or services will constitute Your acceptance of the modified terms.

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.

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 acknowledge that the Services are not designed, manufactured, intended, or recommended to be use for any high-risk or fail-safe purposes or activity whatsoever, or in any environment where failure, interruption, malfunction, error, or unavailability could result in substantial liability or damages, physical harm or personal injury, death or dismemberment, or property or environmental damage. You represent and warrant that You and all your End Users will not use the Services, or any product or service provided by or through EVAS for any such purpose or activity, or in any such way or environment.

EVAS may change such qualifications at any time and without a notice.

Unsolicited Advertisements and TCPA Compliance. Certain communication practices, including without limitation, placing of unsolicited calls or commercial messages, sending of unsolicited facsimile, internet facsimile, SMS, and other communications; and the use of certain automated telephone equipment to place calls, are regulated in the United States by the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (“TCPA”), the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, and under a number of similar state, municipal and local laws, regulations, codes, ordinances and rules.

You agree, represent and warrant that:

1. You and/or Your End Users are creators of the content of, and solely responsible for determining the destination(s) and recipient(s) of all Your Customer Communications, and all outbound communications made using Your Services and other products and services provided by or through EVAS;
2. All content, communications, and any other data provided for transmission or storage through/in Your Services or Account will be provided solely for lawful purposes, and in no event any such content will violate any Law;
3. No unsolicited advertisements, commercial messages, solicitations, third party marketing, or the like will be transmitted or distributed through the Services or Your Account in violation of the Law.
4. At EVAS’s sole option and without further notice, EVAS may use technologies and procedures to screen and block such unsolicited communications at any time and without delivering them, or halt Your Services.
5. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from any and all Your and any third party claims, losses, damages, fines, or penalties arising: (i) out of Your violation or alleged violation of the Law; or (ii) otherwise related to any unsolicited communications that You, Your End Users, and any third party in connection with Your Account or Your Services may have sent and/or received.

Export Restrictions. You acknowledge and agree that the software, firmware, and/or hardware used in conjunction with Services may be subject to the United States and other foreign Laws and regulations governing the export, re-export, and/or transfer of technology. 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;

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. You agree, represent and warrant that all information and representations that You and/or Your End Users provide in connection with any request to port-in or port-out Digital Line numbers, including without limitation any information and representations made in any Letter of Agency, or by any party acting on Your and/or Your End Users’ behalf, or with Your direction, request, or permission will be true, accurate, and complete.

Customer Compliance with Porting Laws. You acknowledge and agree that porting Digital Line numbers is subject to telecommunications and other Laws and may be subject to third party terms and conditions. You agree, represent, and warrant that neither You or any of Your End Users, or any party acting on Your behalf, or with Your direction, request, or permission will at any time: (i) violate any applicable Law or engage in any fraudulent or deceptive conduct; (ii) engage in or facilitate fraudulent porting of any Digital Line number; or (iii) change or attempt to change anyone’s communications service provider without first obtaining a proper requisite consent and authorization; or (iv) violate contractual or other obligations existing with other service providers or other third parties.

Release of Digital Lines. You acknowledge and agree that in the event of Your Account termination or cancellation, all Digital Line numbers associated with Your Account that have not been previously ported to another service provider, will be released. Likewise, cancellation of a Digital Line may result in its release if such Digital Line number has not previously been ported to another service provider. You acknowledge and agree that it is Your responsibility to work with third party service providers if You wish to port-out any Digital Line number prior to terminating or cancelling that Digital Line or Your Account.

Customer’s Digital Line Number Publication. Neither You or any End User shall publicize, list, or communicate any Digital Line number that You or Your End User believe to be assigned to Your Account unless and until You have verified that such Digital Line number is active and functioning as desired. You shall place a test call to and from such Digital Line using both the Service and non-EVAS service to verify that the Digital Line works as expected and that fees and charges incurred are acceptable to You.

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 EVAS’s inability to provide You a Digital Line number, or EVAS’s inability to maintain an assignment of a Digital Line number to your account.

ACCOUNT DISPUTES

The Account owner shall be the legal entity that signs up for the Account with EVAS. If no legal entity is provided or permitted in the sign-up process, the Account owner shall be the individual that registers the Account. This individual shall also be the owner of the Payment Method used to open the Account. Subsequent changes to the ownership must be supported by appropriate legal documentation.

Account Disputes. You agree that in no event shall EVAS be obligated to, or shall You request that EVAS participates in, or act as the arbiter, adjudicator, or intermediary with respect to any claim or dispute relating to the ownership or control of, or rights related to any Service Plan, any Account, any Digital Line, any Account Data, any Customer Communications, or anything else related to Your Services or other products and services provided by or through EVAS (“Account Ownership Disputes”). In the event of any Account Ownership Dispute, EVAS reservices the right to take any course of action that it deems to be appropriate, including without limitation declining to take any action.

Access to Account Data and Customer Communications. As permitted or required by Law, EVAS may access, monitor, use, transmit, and disclose Your Account Data, Customer Communications, and/or personal information to: (i) comply with the Law or respond to a lawful request or legal process; (ii) protect the rights or property of EVAS, its agents, members, customers, and others; (iii) enforce agreements, policies, and this TOS; (iv) verify any information You provide in order to assure compliance with the Law; (v) respond to emergencies; (vi) initiate, render, bill, and collect a payment for products and services; or (vii) facilitate or verify the appropriate calculation of Taxes, fees, or other obligations.

You agree to release, discharge, and hold harmless EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from and against any and all liability related to or arising from EVAS’s acts, errors, and omissions related to any account ownership dispute or in seeking to comply with the Law or legal process.

SERVICE REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

Caller ID Display Limitations and Compliance. You acknowledge and agree that the disclosure and/or display of information related to the origination of calls, messages, and other communications (“Caller ID” information) may be subject to legal requirements, including those related to the accurate display of such information or the enforcement of certain privacy instructions, settings, and the like. You agree to comply with all such applicable Laws and regulations, including without limitation the Truth in Caller ID Act. EVAS has no obligation to disclose, display, or transmit any such information for or in connection with any Customer Communications. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from any and all Your, Your End Users’, and/or any third party claims, losses, damages, fines, and penalties arising out of Your or Your End Users’ breach of this section.

Advanced Security. EVAS may provide additional security features as part of Services or other products or services that may include encryption of some Customer Communications, and/or other security-related functionality (“EVAS Security”). You acknowledge and agree that: (i) any and all EVAS Security features are provided merely as a convenience and may not be sufficiently reliable, function as intended or described, be compliant, comply, or enable You to comply with standards or regulations, be free of errors and/or vulnerabilities, whether known to EVAS or not, or be suitable for Your intended use or application; (ii) no computer system can provide complete security under all conditions and configurations—therefore, it is Your responsibility to configure and deploy the Services and any other products and services provided to You by or through EVAS, in a secure and reliable manner per the best practices generally accepted information technology industry, and as recommended by EVAS, and maintain such configuration at all times, including, but not limited to administrative and technical security controls, in addition to physical security of all End Points at all times, security of applicable Services, and Your security-related procedures and processes; (iii) neither You or any of Your End Users, or any other user of Services (or other products or services) may rely on any EVAS Security as being non-circumventable or unbreakable at all times and circumstances; and (iv) You acknowledge and agree that any of Your and Your End Users’ use of EVAS Security is done at Your own/their risk, and EVAS is not liable for any unavailability, interruption, malfunction, breach, error, omission, or underperformance of EVAS Security and any cost, expense, liability, loss, damage, or harm incurred by You or any other party as a result of Your use or not use of EVAS Security. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from any and all Your and/or any third party claims, losses, damages, fines, or penalties arising out of this section.

Network Sufficiency. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) Services require a properly configured, high performance broadband IP network and connection; (ii) use of Services with any lesser capable network service may result in partial or complete unavailability, interruption, or underperformance of Services; and (iii) 4G and lower grade networks are not recommended for use with Services. Accordingly, You agree to provide and maintain at Your cost, an IP network service that meets or exceeds the foregoing standards, and all equipment that is necessary for Services to utilize such network. EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers are not responsible and not liable for any unavailability, interruption, or underperformance of Services and any other products or services that utilize Your IP network, as a result of unavailability or underperformance of Your IP network or equipment.

Use of Third Party Devices. EVAS does not guarantee or make any representation or warranty that any IP Desk Phones, software, firmware, hardware, or any other information technology products or services will work or be compatible with Services or will support its full performance, quality of service, or functionality.

Use of Network. The Services, IP Desk Phones, Softphones, and other products and services that may be provided by or through EVAS may be able to transmit information over a network and/or be configured to utilize network services, including, mobile data services, and where applicable, make and receive telephone calls and/or transmit information using Your paid data services. Since EVAS does not provide or enable access to the Internet, this may result in increased data usage costs and charges from the Internet service provider You are using. EVAS is not responsible for any such fees, charges, and costs, and all other charges that you may incur as a result of using EVAS’s products and services.

SUPPORT AND FEEDBACK

Support Channels. EVAS may provide support services to You and/or Your End Users only via the support channels designated by EVAS. Such support channels may be specified in Your Service Plan, Your Account, or accompanying documentation. In case if support channels are not specified, EVAS support shall be limited to electronic help desk, and the scope of support shall be limited to questions related to products and services of Your Service Plan and billing questions only (“Standard Support”).

Standard Support. Standard Support shall not include, and EVAS is not obligated to perform any of the following, unless EVAS expressly states otherwise in writing: (i) on-site support; (ii) implementation of any software or hardware; (iii) configuration, administration, maintenance, or cessation of any device, software, firmware, hardware, and any information technology service or product; (iv) dedicated representative support; and (v) any support on issues that EVAS at its sole discretion determines to be outside of Your Service Plan or scope of Services, or for which EVAS at such time does not provide support services. EVAS may charge You and/or Your End Users a fee for support services as may be specified in Your Service Plan or other documentation, as well as any additional costs beyond ordinary support costs that EVAS incurs as a result of providing You or Your End Users the support services (e.g., shipping, handling, translation, long distance, etc.). You agree that EVAS may charge Your Payment Method on file or invoice You, as applicable, such support fee(s) upon issuing You an invoice, showing of indebtedness to EVAS.

Support Limitations and Other Support Levels. EVAS may, in its sole discretion and without a notice, impose reasonable limits to the support services provided to You and/or Your End Users, or the amount of support services provided per Account or End User (a maximum number of open issues (tickets), phone calls per a time period, etc.). EVAS may limit the support to Account Administrators only and not offer support to End Users or limit the support services to only certain groups of Administrators and/or End Users. EVAS may provide other levels of support services on different terms and pricing than the forgoing. All support services are provided on reasonable best effort basis, provided to You by EVAS merely as a convenience; and support services, their scope, and performance are subject to availability in your country or region. All support services are provided in English language only and within EVAS’s normal business hours (Eastern Standard Time (EST)), unless EVAS expressly states otherwise in writing.

EVAS may limit the level of support that it will provide or the scope of information that will be disclosed to any inquiring End User based on the scope of his or her Account rights and permissions, or other agreements between EVAS and customer, defining the EVAS support and/or supported products and services.

Surveys. From time-to-time EVAS may send surveys, comment cards, customer satisfaction forms, or other requests to provide feedback. You hereby grant EVAS, its agents, partners, licensors, licensees, and suppliers a perpetual, unlimited, worldwide fully paid up, royalty free license to use all feedback, answers, ideas, comments, or other information that came from You, Your End Users, and all other entities and individuals that have accessed the Services or other resources in connection with You, Your End Users, or Your Account.

PRODUCT AND SERVICE CHANGES

Change Acceptarce. You acknowledge and agree that EVAS can make changes to Services, Service Plans, and any other product and service that EVAS provides now or may provide in the future (a “Change”), without a prior notice to You. Such changes may or may not materially diminish the functionality of any such products and services. In the event of such change, in EVAS’s reasonable discretion and judgment, if such change permanently and materially diminishes or impairs the functionality of any EVAS’s product or service that You use and pay for, and such Change is unacceptable to You, and EVAS does not provide a reasonable, in EVAS’s sole opinion, alternative, You may request termination of such product or service without a penalty within thirty (30) days of the Change. EVAS will then review Your request as promptly as possible and will, at its sole discretion, either approve or deny such request. You agree that any such decision made by EVAS is final. Any use of EVAS’s product or service after thirty (30) days of the Change will be deemed Your acceptance of the Change. EVAS is not responsible for any fees, charges, and costs, and all other charges that you may incur from third parties as a result of EVAS making a Change. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from any and all Your and/or any third-party claims, losses, damages, fines, or penalties arising out of this section and/or EVAS making a Change to Services, Service Plan(s), and any other product or service that EVAS may be providing to You.

ADDITIONAL TERMS OF SERVICE

The Services and other products and services may also be licensed by EVAS under certain patents. Please refer to the EVAS’s website and documentation for details.

Emergency Service Limitations. EVAS may be able to provide access to certain emergency services in some countries, such as 911 service in the United States and Canada. If such service is available, it may differ depending on Your location or the device You are using, and it works differently than You may have experienced using traditional wireline or wireless telephones. Access to emergency services in foreign countries, where available, is subject to the limitations set forth in this TOS.

Disclaimer of Liability for Emergency Services. You agree that EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers shall not be responsible or liable for, and You agree to fully, finally, and forever release, discharge, indemnify, and hold harmless EVAS, its partners, agents, service providers, licensors, resellers, and suppliers from and against any claim based on, resulting from, or relating to any acts or omissions related to the handling of, or not handling of, or response, or lack of response, to any emergency call or other communications in connection with Service or any other product or service provided by or through EVAS.
