6. CONSENT TO RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS.

Where state law allows, if you participate in a phone call with a member of our team, we may record the call. If you are in a state that requires notification, we will notify you that your call is being recorded. By staying on the line after receiving such notification, you consent to the call recording. If you do not consent to call recording, you may end the call or ask to not be recorded.

You are solely responsible for: (i) obtaining all consents, licenses, and permissions, if any, required from data subjects (including call participants and End Users) and any third parties for its use (including, without limitation, the transmission, exchange, receipt, modification, abbreviation, truncation, display) of communications data and content of communications (“Communications Data”) in connection with our Services and as required by applicable laws and regulations; and (ii) ensuring that use of Communications Data in connection with our Services is consistent with Customer’s privacy policy, customer and vendor contracts, our privacy policy and these Terms, any other applicable privacy policy, and as required by applicable laws and regulations.

7. CHARGES FOR SERVICES.

You are responsible for paying all charges and fees for Services. You will incur the monthly charges and fees associated with the service plan you selected for each whole or partial month during which your agreement with us remains in effect, plus any applicable taxes, duties, or other additional payments required by law (your “Service Plan”). Payment is due thirty (30) days from the invoicing date for each month’s Services and if not paid within that time, or if we cannot charge the payment method you have on file with us for any reason, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to our Services.

If you exceed your Service Plan’s minutes in any given month, you will be charged for any additional minutes used during that month at the overage rate associated with your Service Plan. You acknowledge that you will be charged in whole-minute increments, and that any partial minutes will be rounded up to the nearest whole minute. For inbound calls, usage of Services is calculated starting from the time the receptionist receives the call and ending when a receptionist transfers the call through to someone, or to voicemail, or otherwise disconnects because the call is over, as well as any time a receptionist spends completing any information on your call after the caller has hung up, or we perform other work on your account. We reserve the right to change our charges or pricing plans, or adjust pricing for Services or any components thereof, in any manner and at any time.

8. TERM, CANCELLATION & ENFORCEMENT.

Your Service Plan subscription shall automatically extend on a month-to-month basis until we receive a written cancellation request from you on written notice received by us at least 1 month prior to your next invoice due date, unless you request a later date. We reserve the right to terminate your Service Plan at any time with thirty (30) days’ written notice. Services may be discontinued earlier and without any written notice if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion, that (i) continuation of Services will adversely affect service to other customers, (ii) that your advertising is causing extreme fluctuations in call volume that adversely affects service to other customers, (iii) you or your callers are abusive, disrespectful, or otherwise inappropriate to our personnel, (iv) you are in violation of any Federal Communications Commission rules, (v) a request from you or your callers constitutes or otherwise relates to fraudulent or illegal activity or to a sexual or otherwise potentially illicit encounter, (vi) the credit information furnished to us by you is inaccurate or that you are otherwise in breach of these Terms. You authorize us to furnish any information we have concerning you to law enforcement, collection and credit agencies. You consent to our response to any subpoena, court order, or other court authorized request for information served upon it without necessity to contest the request on any grounds. We have the right to investigate violations of these Terms and any conduct that affects our Services, and in response may take any action we may deem appropriate.

YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ON A MONTHLY BASIS UNLESS YOU TERMINATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION.

The subscription fees will be billed to your payment method in accordance with the above. You hereby authorize us to charge the applicable subscription fees on a recurring basis.

Subscription fees are non-refundable, and you are responsible for paying all unpaid fees through the end of the current term. In the event of an early termination, you will not be entitled to a refund for any portion of any subscription fees paid or owed.

9. AUTOMATED PAYMENTS, CREDIT CARD USE & PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION.

If you authorize automated payments (“Simplified Payment Plan” or “SPP”) to make payments to us, you are expressly authorizing us to charge the payment method on file for the balance due on your account. Cancellation of SPP requires a Written Notice of Cancellation Request emailed to billing@tigertel.com, or written notice mailed to TigerTel 240-33 Alderney Drive, Dartmouth, NS, B2Y 2N4, Canada, Attention: Billing Department.

You shall replace the information for any card that expires with information for a valid one. If your card is automatically replaced with a new card by a payment processor, you acknowledge and agree that we are authorized to deduct any charges on your account against the new card. Anyone using a card represents and warrants that they are authorized to use that card, and that any and all charges may be billed to that card and will not be rejected. If we are unable to process your card order for any reason, we will try to contact you by email and may suspend your account until your payment can be processed. Please note we do not charge a surcharge for payments made by debit cards, or check. To the extent permitted by applicable law, payments made by credit card will incur a 3.0% surcharge.

10. DEFAULT/NON-PAYMENT/RECONNECT FEES.

If you default in payment of any sum due to us or in the observance of any provision of these Terms, and we are unable to charge the payment method on file in accordance with Section 8, we may, without incurring any liability, notify you (by telephone, in writing, or transmitted message) that your Services will be temporarily discontinued. You shall pay us all amounts hereunder, plus interest on delinquent amounts at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the maximum allowed by state law), plus late charges, collection agency and attorney fees and expenses, court costs, and other expenses incurred in recovering such sums owing. Acceptance by us of any payment that is less than the sum due hereunder shall not constitute a release or an accord or satisfaction for any greater sum due, or to become due, regardless of any endorsement restriction. You agree to pay a reconnect fee determined by us at our discretion for reinstatement of a suspended account. All past amounts owing must be paid and current. We reserve the right to refuse reinstatement of any suspended account.

11. AVAILABILITY.

We cannot and do not promise that the Site or our Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. Our Services are subject to transmission limitations caused by failures in third party telephone, satellite or wireless carriers that provide service links and other elements of our Services, scheduled and emergency maintenance, atmospheric conditions and other uncontrollable interferences. You agree and understand that we are not required to notify you of any interruptions of any type, suspensions, curtailments or failures, and that we have no liability for any damages or loss therefrom.

Under no circumstance will TIGERTEL be liable for damages of any kind that result from your use of, or the inability to use, our Services.

19. ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER (the “Arbitration Provision”)

THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS; PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS.

Agreement to Arbitrate. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Arbitration Provision, TIGERTEL, and any bank or financial institution with which TIGERTEL partners, together with their parent companies, wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries, affiliates, commonly-owned companies, successors, assigns, and any of these entities’ employees, officers, directors, and agents and their successors, assigns, affiliates, and service providers (collectively, the “Transaction Parties”) and you can elect to resolve any past, present, or future dispute or claim (“Claim”) arising from or relating in any way to (i) the use of our Services, (ii) these Terms, or (iii) the relationship between you and any Transaction Party in connection with any of the foregoing that cannot be resolved directly between you and a Transaction Party, by binding arbitration under the Consumer Arbitration Rules (“the Consumer Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), rather than in court. (Solely for purposes of this Arbitration Provision, the term Transaction Parties also includes any third party providing any goods and/or services in connection with the use of the Website or any of the foregoing on behalf of a Transaction Party, if that third party is named as a defendant along with a Transaction Party in the same proceeding or a related proceeding.)

“Dispute” Defined. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Arbitration Provision, “Dispute” broadly includes, without limitation: any claims based in contract, statute, constitution, ordinance, tort, fraud, consumer rights, misrepresentation, equity, or any other legal theory; initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, and third-party claims; federal, state, and local claims; and claims which arose before the date of your use of our Services, including, but not limited to, any dispute or claim arising before the date you accessed the Website or agreed to these Terms and any dispute or claim relating to (by way of example and not limitation): (i) the use, denial, or termination of our Services and/or the events leading up thereto; (ii) any disclosure, advertisement, application, solicitation, promotion, or oral or written statement, warranty, or representation made by or on behalf of a Transaction Party; (iii) any product or service provided by or through a Transaction Party or third parties in connection with the use of our Services or the relationship between you and a Transaction Party and any associated fees; (iv) a Transaction Party’s use or failure to protect any personal information you give a Transaction Party in connection with the use of our Services or your relationship with the Transaction Party; (v) enforcement of any and all of the obligations a party may have to another party in connection with the use of our Services or agreement governing the same; or (viii) compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations.

Exceptions to “Dispute.” Notwithstanding any of the foregoing: (i) disputes or controversies about the validity, enforceability, coverage, or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any part thereof are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide; however, disputes or controversies about these Terms or your agreements governing the use of our Services or with Transaction Parties as a whole are for an arbitrator and not a court to decide; (ii) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of intellectual property rights, will not be subject to binding arbitration under this Arbitration Provision; and (iii) any party may proceed with their individual claims in small claims court (or an equivalent court) if that option is available in the applicable jurisdiction and the amount in controversy falls within the small claims court’s (or the equivalent court’s) jurisdictional limits; but if that action is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court, arbitration can be elected. Moreover, this Arbitration Provision will not apply to any Dispute that was already pending in court before this Arbitration Provision took effect.

Governing Law. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. 1 et seq., and federal arbitration law apply to this Arbitration Provision. There is no judge or jury in arbitration and court review of an arbitration award is limited, but an arbitrator can award an individual the same damages and relief as a court in an individual case and must apply and follow applicable substantive law, consistent with the FAA, and the terms of these Terms and any agreement governing the use of the Website. The arbitrator shall apply applicable statutes of limitations and honor privilege rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator will be final, subject to any appeal rights under the FAA, and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. No arbitration award involving the parties will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute involving anyone who is not a party to the arbitration, nor will an arbitration award in prior disputes involving other parties have preclusive effect in an arbitration between the parties to this Arbitration Provision.

Miscellaneous; Conflicts. Even if all parties have opted to litigate a Dispute in court, a party may elect arbitration with respect to any claim made by a new party or any claim later asserted by a party in that or any related or unrelated lawsuit (including a claim initially asserted on an individual basis but modified to be asserted on a class, representative, or multi-party basis). Nothing in that litigation shall constitute a waiver of any rights under this Arbitration Provision. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision is inconsistent with the Consumer Rules, with these Terms, or your agreements governing the use of our Services, or with an arbitration provision in any agreement with a Transaction Party, this Arbitration Provision shall govern.

Survival; Severance. This Arbitration Provision shall survive termination of the Website or these Terms or of any agreement into which you enter with a Transaction Party; and, further, you understand and agree that this Arbitration Provision applies not only to these Terms but also to any subsequent agreement (including without limitation any agreement governing the use of Website or Services) into which you enter with a Transaction Party. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision, except that: (a) if the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable with respect to a Dispute that does not seek public injunctive relief and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted, then this Arbitration Provision (except for this sentence) shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding. The parties acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be arbitrated; and (b) if a claim is brought seeking public injunctive relief and a court determines that the restrictions in the Class Action Waiver or elsewhere in this Arbitration Provision prohibiting the arbitrator from awarding relief on behalf of third parties are unenforceable with respect to such claim and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted, the claim for public injunctive relief will be determined in court and any individual claims seeking monetary relief will be arbitrated. In such a case the parties will request that the court stay the claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration award pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court. In no event will a claim for public injunctive relief be arbitrated.

Right to Opt Out: If you do not want this Arbitration Provision to apply, you must send us a signed notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the date on which you electronically submit an application for a product or service offered by a Transaction Party through the Website or Services. You must send the notice in writing (and not electronically) to 240-33 Alderney Drive, Dartmouth, NS B2Y 2N4, Canada. You must provide your name, address, telephone number, and state that you “opt out” of the Arbitration Provision. Opting out will not affect the other provisions of these Terms or any other agreement governing Website or with a Transaction Party. If you do not opt out, you will be bound by this Arbitration Provision in these Terms and any other agreement governing a Service or with a Transaction Party. Please note that if you enter an agreement with a Transaction Party that contains a different arbitration provision with a right to opt out, opting out of this Arbitration Provision is not a rejection of the arbitration provision in the other agreement. You will need to separately opt out of the arbitration provision in the other agreement if you do not want it to apply.
