The following Terms govern your access to and use of the Service. Your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to all such Terms.

If User is using the Service on behalf of User's employer, User represents that it is authorized to accept these Terms on its employer's behalf. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the Terms will govern the use of any new features that augment or enhance the current Services, including the release of new the Company resources and services.

2. Privacy Policy. Information collected by the Company about Users will be treated in accordance with our privacy policy.

3. Modifications to the Service. The Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue all or part of the Service, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice to User, and is not obligated to support or update the Service. The amended Terms shall be effective immediately after they are initially posted on the Site. User's continued use of the Service after the posting of the amended Terms on the Site constitutes User's affirmative: (a) acknowledgement of the Terms and its modifications; and (b) agreement to abide and be bound by the Terms, as amended. User acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not be liable to User or any third party in the event that the Company exercises its right to modify or discontinue all or part of the Service.

4. Modification of User Rates. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change User pricing upon thirty (30) days notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a User utilizes greater than the number of telephone minutes included in his/her monthly plan, the Company reserves the right to immediately charge the user for such use at a rate of 10 cents (U.S.) per minute (or whatever rate is on your Rate Plan) for all minutes over the plan minute threshold when calling destinations within the continental USA. When calling destinations outside of the continental USA, international rates apply from the first minute. Contact The Incredible $99/mo Receptionist Service customer service for current international rates. Conference calls are billed at your agreed rate per minute per participant. Voice to text transcriptions are charged at the rate of 2 cents per word.

5. Charges. By electing to purchase subscription-based services, you warrant that all information you submit is true and accurate (including without limitation your credit card number and expiration date) and you agree to pay all subscription fees you incur plus all applicable taxes.

a. Payment of your account balance is due monthly (or in some cases annually) and must be made by the credit card designated by you.

b. Charges are to be paid on a monthly (or annual) basis. If the payment method for your account is not received from the card issuer or its agents, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand. Each time you use the Service, or allow or cause the Service to be used, you agree and reaffirm that the Company is authorized to charge your designated card. Your card issuer's agreement governs your use of your designated card in connection with the Service, and you must refer to such agreement (not this Agreement) with respect to your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. You agree that the Company may (at its option) accumulate charges incurred during your monthly billing cycle and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each cycle, and that the Company may delay obtaining authorization from your card issuer until submission of the accumulated charge(s). This means that accumulated charges may appear on the statement you receive from your card issuer.

c. Your activation fee (if applicable) and recurring service fees are payable in advance and are COMPLETELY NON-REFUNDABLE. You agree that the Company may submit charges for your monthly (or annual) service fee each month (or year), without further authorization from you, until you provide prior notice that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your designated card. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice. (Note: the Company takes no responsibility for contacting you prior to charging your designated credit card for your recurring service fee.) If you have any question regarding any charges that have been applied to your account, you must contact the Company’s Customer Service Department within 30 days of the charge date. Failure to use your account will not be deemed a basis for refusing to pay any charges submitted by the Company in accordance with this Agreement.

d. All Service packages that include a toll-free number include a number of monthly telephone minutes as part of the recurring service fee. The Company reserves the right to bill subscribers for usage above and beyond the subscriber's plan's monthly minutes at a rate of 10 cents (U.S.) per minute when calling destinations within the continental USA. When calling or faxing to destinations outside of the continental USA, international rates apply from the first minute. Contact The Incredible $99/mo Receptionist Service customer service for current international rates. Faxes are charged by the page (inbound and outbound) and are typically 10 cents per page after the base pages included in your plan (which is often 100 per month).  Conference calls are billed per minute per participant at your billing plan's rate. Click-to-call calls are treated and billed as conference calls with just two participants.  Voice to text transcriptions are charged at the rate of 2 cents per word. Usage fees will be billed in arrears and charged to your credit card of record. You agree that the Company may submit these charges, without further notification or authorization from you. In the event your account is terminated, the Company has the authority to charge your credit card of record for any additional usage fees you may have accrued while still an active subscriber. Company owns the phone numbers used on the service and these numbers may not be moved away from Company without Company authorization and a one-time payment by subscriber of $200.00 per number.

e. You must promptly notify the Company of changes to: (a) the account number or expiration date of your designated card; (b) your billing address. You must also promptly notify the Company if your card is canceled (e.g., for loss or theft).

f. FREE TRIALS - The Company may offer a Free Trial month as part of some promotions. Subscribers signing up for a free trial receive a credit for one month's fee (which includes 400 toll-free minutes where applicable). The Company reserves the right to bill the subscriber's credit card for any usage above and beyond the 400 included minutes (see d. above). Activation fees (if applicable) will be charged at the beginning of the subscriber's first paid month.

6. Payment. The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Service account without notice upon rejection of any card charges or if your card issuer (or its agent or affiliate) seeks return of payments previously made to the Company when the Company believes you are liable for the charge. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal rights or remedies available to the Company.
