Services Description

This Agreement governs the purchase and use of audio, video and web conferencing services and related products and services of The Conference Group ("The Conference Group Services") and its third party suppliers ("Third Party Services") (The Conference Group Services and Third Party Services are referred to collectively as the "Services"). The Conference Group may alter, expand, or reduce the features of the Services from time to time without notice to Customer. Customer agrees that The Conference Group's obligation to provide Services is conditioned upon Customer providing all information and assistance reasonably required to perform the Services and Customer hereby agrees to timely provide all such information and assistance. If provided, The Conference Group reserves the right to reclaim any dial-in numbers. Customer acknowledges that not all Services can be guaranteed from all locations including, but not limited to landlines, mobile telephones, pay phones or satellite phones due to various in-country, carrier or other restrictions. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term contract (“Contract”) refers to any Subscription Service Agreements or Service Agreements provided by The Conference Group.

1. Term

The Term of this Agreement ("Term") shall remain in effect until terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

    1a. Termination of the Agreement

    Either Customer or The Conference Group may terminate this Agreement at any time for convenience upon notice to the other party. Termination of said Agreement in no way supersedes Terms agreed upon within a Contract between Customer and The Conference Group. The termination of any Contract shall not otherwise effect the Term of this Agreement or any other Contract.

    This Agreement may be terminated by the non breaching party upon a material breach by the other party of a material provision of this Agreement and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice or within ten (10) days after notice if the breach is a payment breach. Customer shall pay for: (a) all Services rendered up to the date of termination; and (b) any minimum shortfall or future amounts due under this Agreement.

2. Payments, Rates, Charges and Taxes

    2a. Payments and Charges

    The Conference Group will invoice Customer electronically free of charge or via paper invoice for a fee. Customer agrees to make payment for all Services upon receipt of invoice, or such later date if specified on the invoice, to the location and in the manner directed on the invoice. Invoices not paid on a timely basis may be subject to interest or late fees. Customer must notify The Conference Group of any disputed charges within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice, otherwise Customer will be deemed to agree to such charges and The Conference Group will not be subject to making adjustments to charges or invoices. Customer acknowledges and agrees that: all Services are charged the applicable rate, including all taxes, fees, and surcharges.

    2b. Price Changes

    Customer acknowledges and agrees that rates are subject to change at any time without The Conference Group providing specific notice to customer. Customer therefore agrees to carefully review each invoice prior to making payment and to notify The Conference Group of any rate disputes within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice, otherwise Customer will be deemed to agree to such rates and to have waived any rights to dispute them if not raised within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice.

    2c. Unpaid Charges

    In the event charges due are not timely paid in full for any reason, The Conference Group shall have the right to suspend Services until such time as all charges and applicable interest amounts and/or late fees have been paid. Such suspension shall not relieve Customer of any payment liability. The Conference Group reserves the right to reinstate Services only upon satisfactory assurance of Customer's ability to pay for Services. Customer agrees to reimburse The Conference Group for any costs, expenses, or fees expended by The Conference Group in connection with any collection efforts against Customer, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

In addition to the rates for the Services, Customer shall pay all applicable fees, surcharges, and taxes now or hereafter attributable to the Services and included on Customer's invoice.

If any provision(s) is found to be contrary to law, then such provision(s) will be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect. The Conference Group's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless agreed to by The Conference Group in a non-electronic writing manually signed by a duly authorized representative of The Conference Group. If there is any law, rule, regulation or policy that causes The Conference Group to be regulated or that causes the Agreement or Services to be in conflict with such law, rule, regulation or policy, The Conference Group may terminate or modify the affected Services without liability.

The occurrence of an event of force majeure shall not relieve Customer of obligation to pay The Conference Group for Services used by Customer prior to the occurrence of such event, or which may become due by Customer thereafter on account of Customers continued use of such Services after such occurrence. Failure of The Conference Group to perform under this Agreement because of the occurrence of an event of force majeure the effect of which lasts more than forty five days shall be grounds for termination of the Service(s) affected by that event, but not of the entire Agreement.
