1.3 Other Conditions of Use

1.3.1 Emergency Services, 911 and E911

You represent and warrant that You understand VoIP-based services – including the connection or establishment of VoIP calls to 999 – are subject to the vagaries of the Internet, and as such are inherently unreliable. To that end, You represent and warrant that You have have and will maintain at all times a traditional Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) telephone line, wireless or cellular service that will enable You to call 999 and any other applicable emergency service number. Emergency 999 services are offered by MBP on a best-effort basis as part of VBX’s VoIP phone Service and are made available to physical VoIP phones when located in the United UKs and Canada and registered with MBP’s Service (“E911-Available Device”).

You represent and warrant that You understand Emergency 999 services (including Enhanced 911 or “E911″) provided by MBP may differ in certain respects from the emergency calling services provided by a traditional wire-line telecommunications provider. These differences may have an adverse impact upon the ability or timeliness of the provisioning or dispatching of emergency services to You or others in the event of an emergency. In addition, due to limitations on technology, the location reported by VBPX to the public safety dispatcher for Your telephone may not include Your specific location within a business premise.

You are responsible for the accurate reporting and updating of the physical location where the Service is to be. Should an emergency arise, emergency services may be delayed or unable to respond to Your needs if Your Service does not have a valid 999 address on file.

You represent and warrant that You understand that in the event any E999-Available Device used to access Service via the Internet, is moved to another location with suitable Internet access, even though You will be able to use the Service without interruption it may take time to update emergency information, which could result in the failure to dispatch emergency personnel to the proper location

1.3.2 Access to the Internet and Availability of Service

When using VoIP or other Internet-based MBP Services You acknowledge You must have operational and properly configured access to the Internet and hereby agree to provide, at Your sole expense, Your own Internet service with a third party provider. You further agree to be responsible for payment of any and all Internet service fees including all equipment necessary to establish and maintain a connection to the Internet as may be required to use MBP Services.

Service availability and level(s) may vary due to conditions beyond the control of MBP, including the type and UK of the Your equipment. Service is subject to interruption or limitation due to factors including but not limited to: network capacity limitations, installation, repair, modification to the network, restrictions by MBP’s long-distance providers, MBP’s efforts to combat fraudulent use, non-payment, or other legitimate business and operational reasons.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, You represent and warrant that You understand VoIP-based services are subject to the vagaries of the Internet, and as such are inherently unreliable. You affirm MBP has no duty under this Agreement to provide insurance to Your benefit against any losses caused by interruption of Service, whether caused by disrupted access to the Internet, acts of God, scheduled maintenance windows or other reasons whether reasonably seen or unforeseen.

1.3.3 Acceptance of Financial Responsibility & Default

You are responsible for paying all charges to Your account for Services, whether said charges result from use authorised or use unauthorised by You, including but not limited to, long distance and directory assistance charges and for all taxes and surcharges imposed on You or MBP as a result of Your use of the Service. Long distance usage on each call is billed in one-minute increments and the cost is then rounded up to the nearest cent. During the Term of this Agreement, MBP reserves the right to change rates, terms, fees or taxes (as imposed by the applicable taxing authority) on, or discontinue its offering of, any feature of the Service. At the end of Your Term, or during any subsequent month-to-month period, MBP reserves the right to change or discontinue any rate plan available to You. MBP reserves the right to impose and annual 3% increase in service fees on any plan type, paid monthly, monthly with contract or annually, with no further notice to You.

Service under this Agreement is subject to sales taxes, surcharges and assessments may be changed or added in accordance with the applicable taxing authority. Should MBP be required to pay such taxes and/or fees on Your behalf as described herein, or taxes and/or fees which the liability post-dates this Agreement (e.g. future taxes and/or fees), You agree that You are liable for such taxes and/or fees and authorise the immediate charge of Your payment method on file for the full amount due.

Any applicable installation charges and annual maintenance fees are paid for by You in advance. Should You be on an annual plan You will be billed on a monthly basis for normal usage, or for any taxes and incidental charges. Should Your call traffic exceed a specified maximum amount in a given period, both of which are set at the absolute and sole discretion of MBP, at any time during Your billing cycle, MBP reserves the right to immediately and without notice, debit Your payment method for monthly traffic costs that have been thus far accrued on Your account. This policy typically applies to accounts less than 180 days old; however, the policy may be expanded should MBP deem it warranted. If You would like to know the maximum threshold on Your Service, please email accounts@mybusinessphone.com.

You shall pay all bills in full by the due date on the bill. Payment will be deemed made when received by MBP, unless payment is by means of credit card that is subsequently charged-back. You must give MBP written notice of any reasonable disputes that include clear and precise descriptions regarding the disputed charges appearing on Your bill within 30 days of the date of the disputed bill, otherwise all charges will be deemed correct and You waive any future recourse with respect to said bill and/or charges. All undisputed charges on the bill are due by or on the bill due date.

If You have authorised payment by credit card, no additional notice or consent will be required for billings to said credit card or account. You will advise MBP of any changes to Your credit card account, such as account number or expiration date changes, etc. MBP accepts credit and debit cards issued by most banks. Prepaid payment methods of any type are not accepted. Virtual/disposable credit cards are accepted from a limited list of financial institutions and subject to MBP review. MBP reserves the right to require prepaid or virtual/disposable payment methods be replaced with actual credit card within two business days of notification. Failure to replace prepaid or virtual/disposable credit cards will result in account suspension. MBP reserves the right to suspend Service for any accounts having invoices in excess of 30-days past due or upon receipt of a chargeback. In such cases, MBP will send a notification email to the Billing Administrator(s) of the account. MBP may, at its sole discretion, reinUK the Service of Your account after receiving payment of the chargeback amount, a £25.00 chargeback fee, and any other amounts/fees due. MBP reserves the right to require, at its sole discretion, a deposit in an amount up to the average of the past four billing cycles prior to reinstating any account.

If You fail to pay any bill in full by the due date set forth on said bill, You will be liable for a late payment fee of £25.00 or for interest at the rate of 1.5% per month – whichever is higher, or a lower rate as required UK law. The interest rate may be compounded as permitted by UK law. You authorise MBP to refer Your account, if past due, to solicitors and/or collection agencies for further action. If any collection action is taken, You agree to reimburse MBP for reasonable solicitors’ fees, court costs, and any other costs and fees, including collection agency fees, undertaken to collect past due bills and/or any other fees. No provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If any interest hereby provided for is adjudicated to be unlawful, the provisions of this section shall govern and neither You, nor sureties, guarantors, successors, or assigns by You shall be obligated to pay any amount of interest, or any other sum paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of money, in excess of the lawful amount. If MBP receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount as permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the amount due and owing to MBP under this or any other agreement, and if said amount has been paid in full, any remaining excess money shall forthwith be returned to You.

You affirm and authorise any and all credit card charges related to Your accounts (identified by way of example from e-mail address, credit card or billing information) with a past due balance on an open, suspended or previous account be charged any outstanding balance upon opening a new account and/or updating credit card information on file. You further acknowledge MBP has no obligation to provide You with any Services whatsoever until any and all outstanding balances related to any of Your past or current accounts have brought current.

You may, at MBP’s sole discretion, be deemed to be in default (“Default”) of this Agreement if: (a) You fail to pay the full amount billed to You under this Agreement, or any other agreement between You and MBP, within three (3) business days after the due date; (b) You have in the past established a pattern, at MBP’s sole discretion, of non-payment of amounts due MBP or our affiliate(s); (c) You cancel Service prior to the end of the Term of this Agreement; (d) You breach any representation to us or fail to perform and/or adhere to any of the terms You have affirmed in this Agreement; (e) You are subject to any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act or similar laws; (f) You engage in any activity that constitutes, at MBP’s sole and absolute discretion, illegal or unauthorised use of Service or equipment; (g) You use the Service or equipment in such a manner that it interferes with or adversely affects MBP’s ability to deliver Service to any other subscribers; (h) You have failed to respond to calls or email attempts to contact You about Your Account, or; (i) Your usage of Service is deemed by MBP, at its sole discretion, to be excessive. If You are in Default, MBP may, at MBP’s sole discretion, with or without notice, suspend or restrict Your Service and/or terminate this Agreement, in addition to all other remedies available to MBP. MBP may require reactivation charges and deposits as set forth above, to restore Service after termination or suspension. Upon termination or suspension, You are responsible for paying all amounts and charges owing and/or damages determined under this Agreement, including any applicable cancellation fee(s). You agree to pay all costs including solicitors’ fees, collection costs and court costs MBP may incur in enforcing this Agreement through any adjudication process.

1.3.4 Term of Service and Requests for Modification

The term of this Agreement begins on the date You or MBP activates Your Service. Monthly-billed Service plans will automatically renew each month, whereas annually-billed Service plans will automatically renew every twelve (12) months for another twelve (12) month term.

You acknowledge and approve modification request(s) from the following person(s) (“Approved Persons”): person(s) able to provide the Account name, unique account number, and the contact telephone number used by You under this Agreement and who is listed as a Billing Administrator in the MBP Billing portal for Your account.

You and/or Approved Persons may request cancellation of this Agreement at any time by making such in writing or by email to accounts@mybusinessphone.com. Accounts will be cancelled by MBP within a reasonable timeframe. You authorise MBP to cancel Your account at, and by the request of, Approved Persons. The effect of cancellation shall be to relieve You of the obligation to pay new fees subsequent to the date in which cancellation becomes effective. You represent and warrant that You understand said account will no longer be able to utilize any of the Services enjoyed while the account was active. You further affirm that all current fees, including those accrued but not yet billed or invoiced, are still owed and will be paid upon receipt of final invoice.

Account cancellation shall not impair or discharge any of Your obligations or liabilities for use of Services subsequent to the initial request of cancellation yet prior to the effective date of said cancellation. You shall not be entitled to any refund of any portion of the accrued charges for the month in which cancellation notice was received, up until the date that the cancellation becomes effective.

Early cancellation of an annually paid account, during its first 12 month period, will result in the billing of the number of months actually used in said period in which the account is cancelled, with no proration inside of a billing month. Billing for said months will be at the standard, non-discounted, monthly rate for the type of rate plan in use, with a minimum of four (4) months billed within the first twelve (12) months of Service. If the plan being cancelled is no longer offered at the time of cancellation, the amount billed will be based on the last price in place at the time said rate plan was available. A penalty charge of 20% of the initial annual payment amount will also be applied. All other charges, taxes and fees other than those for Basic Service will still be due. Cancellation of an annual account at any time subsequent to its initial 12-month period are subject to a penalty charge of 100% of the remaining term of the contracted period.

You and/or Approved Persons may request a change of Plan(s), which must be submitted in writing or by email to support@mybusinessphone.com. You warrant You understand that requests for change may be approved or denied at the sole discretion of MBP.

You acknowledge that approved changes to Your Service may result in charges and administration fees, including any applicable early cancellation fee(s), should such fees apply to Your current Plan. Approved Change requests will take effect at the beginning of Your next billing cycle. You may request to have Your Plan converted mid-billing cycle for a one-time fee of £25 per conversion. Expedited conversions typically take 2-4 business days. Account fees for expedited conversions will not be prorated. You are limited to three (3) plan conversions during any twelve (12) month period. Additional conversions will be assessed £50 each. If You convert to a Plan having a term which is shorter than Your previous Plan, You may remain obligated for the full term of the original Plan.

1.3.5 Marketing and other communications from MBP

From time to time MBP may send promotional or other marketing-related communications to Your email address(s) on file. These communications are intended to be informative (e.g. MBP has added a new function or service to our platform that we feel will enhance your experience) or supportive of your general use of the service. You can at any time choose to reduce or completely opt-out of these communications by selecting options available at the bottom of each email. You acknowledge that opting out of promotional or other marketing-related communications will not prevent You from receiving other email or phone communications from our support, billing or other departments for their business process-specific purposes.

You agree to hold the details of any credits and/or discounts received in the strictest of confidence. You acknowledge any violation of this clause may result in the revocation of said credits and/or discounts in question regardless of how far in the past said credits and/or discounts were approved.

If the high-speed Internet connection You are using is not within a MBP service area or Your ISP or broadband provider places restrictions on using VoIP services, MBP does not claim that Your ISP will allow You to use the Service. You will be solely responsible for any violations of local laws and regulations or violations of Your ISP and broadband provider terms of service because of Your use of the Service. All use of MBP Service to or from areas outside the UK is at Your own risk and subject to the vagaries of the Internet.

3.7 Altering or Tampering with Applications or Devices

MBP reserves the right to interrupt or restrict Service to You, without notice, if MBP suspects fraudulent or abusive activity on Your System. You agree to cooperate with MBP in any fraud investigation and to use any fraud prevention measures MBP prescribes. If You fail to notify us of suspect behaviour in a timely manner, MBP may disconnect Your Service and levy additional charges on You. Until You notify us, You will be liable for all use of the Service by a Device(s) stolen from You and any other stolen, fraudulent or unauthorised use of the Service.

3.9 Content and Regulations Governing Communications & Transmissions

You are fully responsible for the content of Your transmissions through the Service. MBP reserves the right to take any action with respect to the Service that is deemed necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, if MBP believes You, Your usage, or Your information may: create liability for MBP, compromise or disrupt MBP products or Services for You, other subscribers, or MBP suppliers, agents, or other associates. Your use of the Service is subject to all applicable local, UK, national and international laws and regulations (including without limitation those governing account collection, export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination, securities or false advertising).

You shall not interfere with another subscribers use and enjoyment of the Service or another entity’s use and enjoyment of similar services.

3.10 Number Ownership and Porting

You understand and agree that You are not the owner of any MBP-assigned telephone number (Number). All rights to, and ownership of, any such Number are retained by, and fully vested in, MBP. MBP will assign or re-assign such Numbers to You for Your use during the term of this Agreement. You agree and affirm that (a) MBP may from time to time and for various reasons need to change the Number assigned to You (by way of example, area code splits or for any other reason within or outside of MBP’s control) and (b) following the termination of Your account for any reason You will no longer have access to said Number(s). You acknowledge and affirm an understanding that said Number(s) may be immediately re-assigned to another subscriber. You further agree that MBP will not be liable for damages (including consequential or special damages) arising out of any such Number re-assignment and You hereby waive any claims with respect to any such re-assignment, whether based on contract, tort or other grounds, even if MBP has been advised of the possibility of damages.

From time to time You may port numbers into Your System, or port Numbers out of Your System.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AFFIRM THAT SHOULD YOU CANCEL YOUR MBP SERVICE PRIOR TO NUMBER(S) SUCCESSFULLY BEING ACCEPTED BY THE WINNING CARRIER, YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO PORT NUMBER(S) AWAY FROM YOUR SYSTEM, AND LOSE ANY RIGHTS TO SAID NUMBERS.

You acknowledge and affirm that Numbers on accounts suspended or terminated for any reason are not eligible for porting out, regardless whether You ported said numbers into Your System.

You acknowledge and affirm that Numbers on accounts having a past due or outstanding balance are not eligible for porting out, regardless whether You ported said numbers into Your System.

In the event that the Service associated with Your MBP Number is in the process of being cancelled, then MBP will, upon Your written request and following standard porting procedures, allow You to move Your MBP Number(s) from MBP to an alternate carrier provided that (a) the cancellation of Service is on favourable terms; that (b) all fees and charges for the Service, whether or not then due, have been paid in full.

The timing of the port completion is determined by the winning carrier. MBP is not notified by the winning carrier when the port is complete. Therefore it is Your responsibility to communicate with MBP when the number has been ported away and is fully functional on the winning carrier’s service. MBP will then remove the number from the Your system.

PORTING AWAY THE LAST NUMBER ON YOUR SERVICE WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT. It is Your responsibility to communicate with MBP when the last Number has been ported away and is fully functional on the winning carrier’s service. At that point, Approved Persons may request cancellation of this Agreement by making such request online, in writing or by email to accounts@mybusinessphone.com.

3.11 Recording of Calls

Your System includes functionality to facilitate Your recording calls. While the System provides a mechanism for automatically notifying parties when inbound calls are being recorded, no such recording ability is available for outbound calls. Regardless of whether calls being recorded are inbound or outbound, You agree and affirm that You and Your users are responsible for obeying all UK, local, and federal laws associated with the announcement and/or use of call recording. MBP accepts no responsibility for the use, or Your misuse of, call recording or the announcement of its use.
