without modification, of the terms, conditions, and notices contained in this
agreement and any operating rules, policies, and procedures that may be
published from time to time on the www.answer99.com
Website (the “Site”) by the Company (collectively, the "Terms"). 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. In the case of any violation
of these rules and regulations, the Company reserves the right to seek all
remedies available by law and in equity for such violations.
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.

User will promptly return to the disclosing Party upon request any Confidential
Information of the Company. The Company will not monitor, edit, disclose, sell,
rent, license, exchange, or release any of your personally identifiable
information without your explicit consent unless the Company has reason to
believe that disclosing this information is necessary: (a) to conform to the
edicts of law or comply with legal process served on the Company; (b) to prevent
injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the
Company rights or property, other the Company users, or anyone else that could

the Company in violation of this Agreement); (ii) is lawfully acquired by the
Company from an independent source having no obligation to maintain the confidentiality
of such information; (iii) was known to the Company prior to its disclosure
under this Agreement; (iv) was independently developed by the Company; or (v)
is required to be disclosed by governmental or judicial order.
19. Governing Law.

of the United States
shall govern. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods shall not apply to these Terms. User hereby consents to personal
jurisdiction by the state and federal courts located in Camden, New Jersey.
These Terms and any modifications hereto constitute the entire agreement
between the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersede all
prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, as to such
subject matter. Nothing contained in these Terms shall be deemed to constitute
either party as the agent or representative of the other party, or both parties
as joint ventures or partners for any purpose.
