N T E R P A G E - Policy Statement and Terms of Service
[] Interpage's General Service Policies
Interpage reserves the right to change our posted policies at will,
although we will generally make a good faith attempt to notify all
customers of any pending changes and offer ample time for customers to
adjust their accounts with us, if necessary, prior to enactment of any
policy change.
1. BILLING: Interpage will provide its variety of service
offerings to
applicants which it feels are creditworthy and do not pose a risk of
default. All Interpage customers must agree to make timely payments of
their invoiced charges.
Interpage will bill customers with complete and accurate details of all
charges. Customers generally have at least 15 days in which to remit
payment. INSI reserves the right to assign other "net" periods if
so
stated upon account activation. If a customer chooses to pay via credit
card, Interpage will generally refrain from processing the customer's
credit card payment until a reasonable time has passed to afford the
customer the opportunity to scrutinize the bill and notify us of any
errors and/or discrepancies.
Customers from whom payment is not received within 30 days, and/or
whose credit card is denied, expired, or for some other reason unable to
be processed will be warned of this condition, and if payment arrangements
are not made, may be subject to termination after 30 days from the bill
date have passed (15 days in the case of customers in poor standing and/or those who have had one or more latenesses, delinquencies, and/or other delayed payments beyond their account's net period in the past 12 monthly billing cycles).
Interpage may also discontinue/terminate any aspect of a
customer's account prior to full suspension/termination if it feels there
is a reasonable likelihood that a customer will default, be unable to make
full payment in a timely manner, and/or if the customer refuses to pay a given
aspect of their service charges without sufficient cause grounded in
difficulties directly related to a failure of one or more of said
customer's subscription services with INSI.
A failure to receive and/or send Text Messages, SMS/MMS messages, pages,
faxes, voice messages, or any other communications which does not result from an error, failing, malfeasance, misfeasance or other internal inability of Interpage to perform a text messaging, SMS/SMS messaging, paging, faxing, voice reception and/or notification, or other communications function in accordance with a reasonable construction of aforementioned services shall not be construed as "difficulties" as they result from circumstances outside of Interpage's control, purview and thus responsibility.
A completed or sent or billable page/fax/communication shall be construed as Interpage's use of its facilities to perform said function regardless of completion of transmission to the end user, device, terminal, equipment or other destination; the attempt
by Interpage to perform the given function shall be deemed as "completed" or "sent". Additionally, certain services or componets thereof, such as, but not limited to, the OUTSYS, OUTANY, SMSGATE, DATABSE and other messaging, paging, voice, fax and general 'mailedit' or 'mail editor' or 'config' commands, which are generated and controlled solely by a given account holder/customer and/or assignee, are presumed billable upon receipt and dialout attempt by Interpage, and will be billed as billable calls/dialouts. It is the account holder/customer's sole responsibility to ensure that all dialout parameters are accurate. A failure to ensure that messages and voice messages, faxes, text/SMS/MMS messages, pages, and other communications are sent to a correct destination(s) will neverthless result in billing charges for an account holder/customer regardless of the call's, fax's, message's or in general communication's ultimate disposition/delivery to the intended or unintended recipient, for which the account holder/customer is solely responsible.
Interest, past due,
and other charges may accrue for any charge, regardless of a customer's
selected payment option, in the event that payment is not received by the
designated due date as indicated by invoice. Customers who are sent to our
collections agency or agencies and/or terminated, who wish to reinstate
service, must pay all applicable fees, including, but not limited to,
interest charges, collection charges, activation charges, past due charges
and any other charges which INSI deems reasonable and appropriate to
compensate INSI for its expenses in attempting to collect or obtain
delinquent funds from a given past due, terminated or otherwise uncollectable
account, and/or due to losses suffered as result of said delinquency.
Customers who are more than 30 days past due, that is, customers from whom
we are unable to collect payment in full in any given 30 day period
subsequent to the generation of a monthly invoice are considered
technically suspended, regardless of whether an actual account suspension
has taken place. Such a technical suspension allows Interpage (and only
Interpage) to consider, if it so chooses, void any prior agreements for
service, contracts, fee waivers, or any other agreement between Interpage
and customer OTHER THAN those terms contained in this Service Agreement.
In general, this instant provision allows Interpage to void special rate
concessions or other agreements between Interpage and customer without a
full suspension of customer's given account(s), at Interpage's sole
discretion (e.g., a customer may not void an additional agreement
automatically by not paying for over 30 days; the determination is soley
Interpage's). A multiple account customer who/which allows one account to
become past due and thus technically suspended may be subject to technical
and/or full suspension of all of said customers' accounts.
Any suspension (technical, actual, or otherwise), default, or cancellation may result in the release and/or re-assignment of domain names, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, and any/all assignments made and/or registered by Interpage to delineate and/or designate a given customer's account/service with Interpage. Generally, any (but not limited to) domain name registered by or hosted with Interpage, e-mail address, pager, DirectPage access number, FaxUp Access number, PIN, CapCode, or any other such assignment IS THE SOLE PROPERTY OF INTERPAGE and may be re-assigned subsequent to any form of suspension or similar account action, or it may retained by Interpage and not re-assigned.
Customers further agree that if paying by credit card that they will
uphold the terms of their credit card agreement. Customers who do not opt
to pay via credit card, or who opt in a given month to use an alternate
form of payment, may be subject to additional payment charges. Partial
credit card or other payments will not prevent interest, penalty, and
other charges relating to the past-due status/delinquency of an account from
being applied to a given past-due account, nor will they prevent service
suspension and/or account termination.
Interpage reserves the right to refuse stored-value cards, gift cards,
and/or any other means of payment which utilizes the Visa or Mastercard
payment fulfillment system(s), American Express Merchant clearinghouse,
Discover Payment Systems, or other similar organization, system, or
methodology which is not an actual credit card where the cardholder has
not been extended a given line of credit by the issuing bank or financial
institution. Interpage further reserves to right to refuse acceptance of
cards where the given credit limit is lower than the expected usage charges
for a given Interpage account for a period of 3 months or less.
Interpage customers who pay by credit card and who Interpage receives
more than 3 "declined" (generally, but not limited to "over
the limit")
responses in any given 12 month period during Interpage's attempts to process
the given card for payment may be subject to a 50 cent
surcharge per subsequent "declined" response for future attempts
to process said card or payment, or, should such a charge be prohibited by
customer's
bank/credit card issuer, immediate termination without further notice.
Interpage will send at least two notices of the "declined" status
(or
other status whereby we are unable to collect payment from a given credit
card or similar payment mechanism) prior to the imposition of said fees
and/or immediate termination. Should a termination occur as a result of
too many declined or other similar uncollectable responses, all penalty
and reactivation charges, as well as other charges, will apply should
customer wish to reactivate.
Certain credits, such as those for obtaining new customers, courtesy
credits in certain cases, non-resale referral credits, prorated charges,
service deposit charges, and others, may only be applied towards past,
existing, or continued service, and may not be transferred without
demonstrable approval from Interpage via authenticated e-mail, fax, or
postal notification confirming INSI's accession to such a transfer. Said
credits may take up to 3 months to be applied to a given account or paid
if said option is available to given resale agent; all credits for customer
referral will be forfeited should referral customer initiate a chargeback
and/or have a check returned for Nonsufifficient Funds of any other failure
to pay full and proper charges to Interpage in a timely manner during the
first 120 days of service with Interpage.
No credit shall be issued for service interruptions and/or difficulties
which do not directly stem or result from a deviation from the normal
operation of a given Interpage service or product, including, but not
limited to, network difficulties from a given customer's site(s) / server(s)
to Interpage, server/software/scripting or other outages and/or errors at a
given customer's servers, site, hosted service provider or any other site,
service, location, device, or network not specifically and directly under
Interpage's control,
network routing or "instability" issues, delayed delivery
of Internet traffic, telephone outages or difficulties at a given Local
Exchange Carrier or Carriers, Interexchange Carrier(s) outages or
difficulties, Domain Name Service (DNS) outages or related issues,
and Domain Name Service "Reverse Lookup" outages and related issues.
Credits for pager rental deposits (excluding early termination), unused
trial toll-charge deposits, and other equipment deposits are refundable
provided that the specific terms of each agreement, respectively, are
observed and the customer is in good standing with INSI at the time of
the credit request. All credits or service refunds will be made via check
payment in US funds within 60 days of final invoicing. Final invoicing
may be delayed for up to 60 days past the date of cancellation in order
to properly account for toll, overpage, or any/all other charges which
were not reported to the given account prior to the final date of service
and/or tentative final invoice.
Non-Refundable prepayments: Any payments made in advance, generally, but not limited to, payments made on a given account so as to precluide the need to make regular monthly payments, are non-refundable, and constitue pre-payment in anticipation of use of service. As such, customers who opt to make non-desposit, service payments may not expect to receive prorated or partial refunds should they elect to cancel service prior to billing cycle in which pre-payment funds become exhausted. Customers who are terminated or suspended for cause may not receive any pre-payment refunds, and may not utilize the pre-payment process as a means to circumvent Interpage policies with would otherwise result in a given customer's termination of service.
Billing periods are monthly (unless otherwise agreed to in writing), and customers
are billed as such. Unless special arrangements are made, Interpage does not
provide prorated cancellation charges. All service deletions to an account
or full cancellations will be completed on the last day of the billing cycle
in which a given deletion/cancellation request was made and charged accordingly.
In the event a given service is not deleted/canceled after the last day of
a given month in which the deletion/cancellation request was made and acceded
to by Interpage via demonstrable means, then the customer will not be charged
service fees for a given deleted service or canceled account past the final
day of the month/billing cycle in which the request wasmade. However, per-use
charges for service such as (but not limited to) faxing, e-mail paging and
package overpage charges, EPOS, etc., will apply, providing the customer continues
to initiate the use of or if under
standards of reasonableness and good faith observes the operation of these
services and fails to re-notify Interpage of the customer's desire to
delete a given service or cancel their subscription entirely. Special
interim statements may be issued for services where customer uses a given
per-use service above and beyond a pre-determined dollar amount. These
invoices will be due by the due date and/or charged to an authorized
credit/debit card prior to the completion of a given billing cycle to
ensure that customer is able to make payment for said services past the
pre-determined dollar amount.
BILLING DISPUTES: Customers may notify Interpage in writing within 60 days of a given invoice date if they suspect an error in charges and/or billing on the given invoice. After 60 days from a given invoice date, customer agrees that all charges are considered final and irrevocable. Note: This section shall not be construed to limit Interpage in any way from assessing and collecting unbilled charges from prior billing cycles, in any.
Additionally, Interpage does not generally retain "raw" customer billing records for more than 60 days from a given invoice date and thus can not, subsequent to 60 days, re-rate or adjust bills based on errors in a given customer's raw data/usage logs. Customers may also contact Interpage by telephone to resolve billing issues, however, only writings (via fax or postal mail, e-mail is not acceptable) within 60 days of a given invoiced date will preserve billing records past the 60 day period.
In some cases, a Research Fee of $140 per hour (billed in quarter-hour periods of $35 per quarter, there is thus a mininum of $35 per inquiry per account, including resale or sub-accounts) may apply in the event that the billing issue is not a result of an error or miscalculation with respect to Interpage's pricing, billing or other policies on the part of Interpage. The Research Fee will generally be applied when the billed party (usually, but not limited to, the customer/account holder) initiates an inquiry or inquiries which are a result of perceived accounting or other errors, questions, or inquiries promulgated by said initiator/(customer) as to any aspect of their Interpage service which was provided and in due course subsequently billed/invoiced for, which the initiator/(customer) disputes or otherwise requests post facto investigation thereof. Additionally, the Research Fee may be supplemented by a $50 PER invoice/billing period research fee for any research request above and beyond the normal course of business related inquiries or where a response is mandated by a third party billing/payment processor in furtherance of fulfillment of an account holder's billing request.
TRANSFER OF RBA: A Transfer of Responsible Billing Authority (generally
control of a given account, known as RBA) may ONLY be accomplished via an
unambiguous, clearly articulated written instrument or release signed by the
current RBA or duly authorized signatory as well as new signup or accession
materials which Interpage may deem appropriate from the new RBA indicating
that the original RBA is authorizing the release of control of a given
account, that the new RBA is accepting control and billing responsibility
for the given account, and that all charges, fees, past due charges, late
fees, interest charges, and any other fees or charges which were assessed,
incurred, or in Interpage's good faith determination properly the
responsibility of the initial RBA will be honored in full by the new RBA
unless Interpage waives such claims in writing to both the initial and new
RBA's at the time of RBA transfer. A change of RBA where charges which
have not yet accrued to the initial RBA for monthly, per-use, or other
services (eg, charges which have not been billed at the time of transfer)
may not be construed in any way to alleviate the new RBA from any of these
charges, fees, or other costs unless specifically waived in writing by
signed agreement by Interpage with both the initial and new RBAs.
Referral credits will be applied only if the referred customer(s)
remains online and in good standing with Interpage for a period of at
least one full billing cycle, or more, based on the referral requirements
of a specific Interpage product or service.
Customers who provide a credit card to Interpage and then opt for
alternate billing agree that in the event timely payment of all charges is
not made to Interpage, Interpage may authorize and/or charge their card
without prior notice for all outstanding charges.
Reactivation charges are generally billed as one month's base service
of the given suspended account in the last month/billing cycle
immediately prior to said suspension.
Customers who initiated service with a credit card but who no longer wish
to ensure payment with their credit card must notify Interpage in writing,
via postal mail or via fax (contact Interpage for delivery instructions, a
fax or letter to our general mailbox/fax in unacceptable and will be
rejected). The customer will then have the option of completing a credit
application (if said customer is an incorporated business, partnership, or
other entity registered with their local state/provincial government), and
if approved by Interpage, Interpage will no longer use said credit card to
ensure payment on the given customer's account. If the credit application
is not approved, the customer must make all future payments in advance
and bring their account up to date (if past due) or risk immediate
suspension or termination of their account, after being notified that
their application was rejected. Applications which are accepted may be
subject to additional fees and service charges, contact Interpage for
details.
Individual customers, non-incorporated businesses, or any entity which does
not fall under the section immediately above may not apply for a business
credit application, and must instead provide payment in advance for all
current and future service. Failing timely receipt of such payment,
Interpage will immediately terminate any credit card customer who no
longer wishes to make payments via credit card and declines to make full
payments in advance. Customers who opt to pay in advance may be subject
to additional fees and service charges, contact Interpage for details.
CANCELLATIONS: Cancellations may only be made via the Interpage Service Modify/Cancel Form; please contact Interpage for details on how to obtain the current version of the form. Said forms should be completed and returned to Interpage via:
-Fax to +1 (650) 292-1600
-EMail to the address indicated on the the Service Modify/Cancel Form
-Postal Mail to "INSI, Mailstop C500, Building #2, Box 4022, Hartford, CT
06147" (USA)
The Service Modify/Cancel form should be completed (as applicable) with
the given account name/userid, username (Customer Name), password, e-mail
address and postal address, and other required information indicated on
the form.
Verbal and/or e-mail cancellations (that is, e-mails which do not contain a fully completed scan of the "Interpage Service Modify/Cancel Form") are considered ineffective regardless of content and will not be honored. Modified versions of the Service Modify/Cancel form are also considered inefefective and will not be honored.
Cancellations
of accounts which include equipment rental which the customer wishes to
return shall not be deemed complete until said equipment is returned via
authenticated means (such as certified or courier mail).
"Free Trial"
cancellations for accounts activated prior to 01/01/2000 must be received
by Interpage (via any of the accepted mechanisms) within seven (7) days of
account activation, as determined by when the standard "Welcome"
message
is sent to a given customer informing them that their account is now
active, or earlier if prior notification of activation was given via
alternate means. (Free trial accounts activated subsequent to 01/01/2000 will automatically de-activate after 7 days and do not require any cancelation notice on the part of the customer).
Service set-up and other activation fees are not prorated and are non-refundable; a non-billing trial account may be obtained for most services in order to evaluate a given service; however, once an account is activated via any standard billing mechanism there shall be no credits issued for "set-up" or "prorated service fees" incident to activation.
All cancellations will receive an e-mail or fax confirmation with a unique cancellation code embedded in the confirmation message for verification; customers are requested to save this cancellation notification as it serves as the only proof of timely and effective cancellation. If within four (4) business days of cancellation a given customer has not received a cancellation confirmation e-mail (or fax), they are strongly advised to contact Interpage to obtain a cancellation confirmation to ensure that their account is properly cancelled at the end of the billing cycle in which it was received.
There are NO prorated cancellations; accounts which are properly cancelled in a given month will be cancelled on the last day of that given month. Thus, if a cancellation is received on June 10th, the respective account will be cancelled on June 30th, at the close of business, Pacific Time.
As accounts are generally billed one month behind, a final invoice for service(s) will generally be sent at the end of the month after the month of effective cancellation. If a given account to be cancelled is not current and has a past due or other balance in arrears, the account's services will be cancelled as per the above, but the account will continue to receive invoices, with applicable late, interest, and other fees, after service has been cancelled, until such point that all obligations have been satisfied for the given account.
Thus, using the example above, the chronology of cancellation would be as follows:
1. June 10th - Interpage receives effective cancellation via the Service Modify/Cancel Form.
2. June 14th - Within 4 days, Interpage will confirm cancellation via e-mail or fax. If cancellation confirmation is not received within 4 business days, customers are advised to contact Interpage to ensure their account is properly cancelled.
3. June 30th - Account is cancelled at the close of business, Pacific Time
4. July 28th - On or about July 28th, a final (providing account is current) invoice is prepared.
5. Aug 4/15 - Credit Card customers would have their final invoice charged on or about August 4th, while check and all non-credit card customers' final payment is due no later than August 15th.
TERMS: All Interpage contracts and
service agreements are month to month unless specified otherwise in a
given contract or written agreement signed by an authorized Interpage
officer, and shall in no case ever be binding for a period of more than 365 days (even if so authorized).
Under no circumstances will Interpage enter into or be bound by a
"negative option" contract, a contract which automatically renews,
or any
other contract whose term lasts or may last longer than 365 days, unless
additional and specifically enumerated consideration is made and itemized
in said contract or binding agreement to Interpage for said negative
option. A failure to provide for additional consideration for such a
provision and to specifically itemize/enumerate it in the contract will
render any such provision void in any contract entered into by Interpage
NSI.
Prospective and/or custom rate quotes, unless otherwise indicated,
are offered for a period of 60 days subsequent to submission to the prospective customer or for the legnth of a service
trial (if utilized; custom rates need to be explicitly specified in a given trial's "Welcome" message for this provision to be in effect), whichever is greater. Should a service contract not be
entered into within the 60 day period subsequent to the offering, or at the cessation of a service trial entered into as part of a given custom rate quote (whichever is greater), the custom rate quote shall be automatically withdrawn and may no longer relied upon as a valid offer.
Tier I service agreements are generally month to month and the above
TERMS apply *with the exception of*: FaxBox, EPOS,
and International Paging Gateway and other International Paging Gateway
services for a period of six (6) months, or where otherwise indicated for
a greater minimum service term, unless terminated earlier by Interpage.
Such customers are required to maintain active accounts for a 6-month (or
greater where indicated) period from the date of service initiation.
Should customer cancel prior to the end of the given 6-month (or greater)
period, a minimum $30 early termination charge will apply, or the
termination fee indicated on the rateplan itemization for that given plan,
whichever is greater. A customer who fails to pay for any reason and/or
who Interpage is unable to secure payment from after 30 days of invoicing
for a given invoice cycle during the 6-month (or greater) commitment
period will be constructively terminated and the indicated or $30 early
termination fee (whichever is greater) will apply, as well as any other
fees and charges which Interpage may levy as may be stipulated in other
any other section(s) of this agreement.
CHARGEBACKS: Any customer or subscriber account who/which undertakes
a chargeback against Interpage or its affiliates whereby they indicate to
their credit card/bank card/etc. issuer that they are questioning/disputing
a portion or all of a given charge or charges may result, due to the failure of Interpage to have effectively collected timely payment, in the immediate
suspension of service until the chargeback is remedied and funds previously
collected by Interpage, if any, are returned by the card issuer and/or clearinghouse.
Interpage may require additional writings by subscriber/cardholder and/or
additional documentation prior to re-activating an account to ensure the authenticity
of given subscriber/cardholder's payment(s) for past, current, and future
Interpage service(s). Accounts can not be cancelled and interest, late, and
other fees may accrue while any/all chargeback inquiries on that given account
and/or associated accounts/subaccounts is still pending. Customers who initiate
a chargeback and then cancel service are advised to remedy all outstanding
debts, including the disputed amount, prior to cancellation to avoid addtional
fees and penalties.
COURTESY CREDITS/CONDITIONAL CREDIT: Interpage may, at its sole discretion, award credits to certain customers for its own interests, generally, but not limited to, amicably resolving billing disputes, late payments, omnibus reconcilliation of fees, charges, and other customer account/payment costs and issues, etc. Any such credits are purely a courtesy on behalf of Interpage to a given customer and/or or for its own interests, and should not be construed as any waiver or modification of any of Interpage's Service Policies nor serve as any indication of prospective courtesies/credits going forward and are purely awarded at Interpage's discretion and for its convenience. Conditional Credits shall similarly be awarded by Interpage, and are conditioned upon subsequent full and timely payments of all invoiced amounts, for a fixed period of time, generally, but not limited to, 12 months of prompt payment. (Prompt payment being no payment arriving more than 20 days past invoice date; a chargeback, returned check, or any other event which prevents Interpage from receiving timely payment within 20 days of a given invoice's invoice date will serve to vitiate any prior prompt payment by a given customer and result in a recission of a Conditional Credit.) Should payment during any month of the conditional period not be received by Interpage as per the above, the Conditional Credit shall be rescinded and re-applied, with prejudice, to the given customer's account, due immediately, and thus subjecting the given account to additional late, interest, penalty and other fees, as well as potential termination and suspension until said account is satisfied in full, including the rescinded Conditional Credit amount.
Late Fees, Interest Charges, and other fees associated with missed, late, partial, or other similar payments where the full invoiced amount is not received within 28 days of a given invoice's date (or in the case of an account which is already late/in arears and/or not in good standing, 14 days) may be requested via the INSI Credit Request Form. The Credit Request Form should be completed and signed, and received by Interpage no later than 60 days subsequent to the invoice date for the invoice which contains the given charge for which a credit is being requested.
In no case will a credit be issued 60 days or more after a given invoice date; this includes late fees, interest charges, and other associated fees. All credits must be submitted prior to 60 days from the date of the invoice on which the charge appeared. Accounts which are not in good standing, past due, or for any other reason which are not fully in accordance with INSI's policies must bring their account into a position of good standing prior to the consideration by INSI of their written request for credits.
COLLECTION/RECOVERY: All Interpage customers agree that in
the event that Interpage is forced (by exhaustion of direct billing via normal
billing
procedures and/or a good faith effort to contact a given customer and
inform them of the delinquency of their account or other reasonable
efforts to recover balances due to Interpage) to engage in
collection/legal activities to recover past due, delinquent, or otherwise
unpaid balances, that in addition to whatever fees Interpage assesses to
past due, delinquent, or otherwise unpaid balances that any such customer
subject to collection/recovery activities will be responsible for all legal,
attorney, filing, collection, recovery, and any and all other costs, without
limitation, associated with the recovery action to obtain payments, balances
and/or monies rightfully due to Interpage.
2. SERVICE: Interpage Network Services Inc. makes reasonable
efforts to
ensure that its services are performed in a manner concomitant to those of
similarly situated service providers on the Internet and Telecommunications
industries. We endeavor to prove to be useful, efficient, and responsive to
our users at all times. However, as is the nature of the Internet and its
interconnected systems, problems such as, but not constrained to, outages,
link failures, power difficulties, telephone outages, network overload, etc.
may have an adverse affect on Interpage's services. While Interpage NSI will
generally strive to mitigate, if possible, the negative effects of such difficulties,
Interpage NSI, and its affiliated concerns, will in no way be held liable
in any manner for loss(es) suffered as a result of any such difficulty. Interpage
may at any time and for any reason suspend or cancel a given
service or set of service offerings without prior notice, and may rebrand,
rename, modify, or out-source a given service or service plan as well as
merge, alter or delete certain aspects of, or in any and all ways modify a
given service plan(s) at its sole discretion, while at no time accepting
any responsibility and at no time assuming any liability for actual or
other damages and/or incurred costs of any kind to any party as a result
of said suspension(s)/ cancellation(s). Customers additionally agree to
that no claim exists nor shall ever come to exist against Interpage as a
result of the actions of any/all of its affiliates, subordinates, and/or
resale/service providers, including, but not limited to, paging carriers,
long distance/toll-free service providers, Internet access and POP
providers and interconnect firms. Interpage will vigorously defend against
any other constructions of this waiver.
Equipment sold by Interpage will have the following warranties:
[] Refurbished Equipment: 30 days after delivery to customer
[] New Equipment: 6 months after delivery to customer
[] Recrystallized Pagers and other equipment: NO WARRANTY
Interpage may also opt to augment the warranty
period at its discretion,
but doing so may not be taken or be used to imply a waiver from or
augmentation of the warranty periods enumerated above. Customers who opt to
have Interpage re-crystal their equipment and/or who lease, loan, or
rent equipment from Interpage may be subject to minimum service term
contracts, with penalties for early termination. Consult Interpage for
details. Customers who obtain paging or other service through Interpage
who purchase new or refurbished pagers from Interpage, or who have their
pagers recrystallized by Interpage may not retain the "capcode",
pager ID
number, local telephone or 800 or "toll-free" access number, or
any other aspect of their service with Interpage other than the paging unit
or other
equipment, but not the capcode or programming code of the unit, unless
special arrangements are made with and accepted by a writing to such an
effect with Interpage. All telephone, fax, pager, and other numbers,
"ID"s, domains, sub-domains, accounts, subaccounts, resale accounts,
resale
IDs, or other designations assigned by Interpage and/or its affiliates to
customers or other parties are the sole property of Interpage and may be
changed or withdrawn at any time without prior notice. All purchased
equipment constitute a separate one-time purchase transaction and is
non-refundable barring material defects in said equipment which Interpage
may repair or replace (at its discretion). A deviation from this policy on
a case by case basis may not be construed to imply a waiver of or general
deviation from the aforementioned policy.
NO OWNERSHIP INTEREST: All telephone numbers, user ID's, access systems,
branding, domains, Web-pages and/or directory space, or any other assignment
made by Interpage to delineate and/or distinguish subscriber accounts and/or
services and/or for any other purpose, including, but not limited to, telephone
number/access assignments are the sole property of Interpage, and are being
assigned on a temporary basis and are not in any way intended and should not
be understood to construe any ownership interest with said assignment to the
customer(s) to whom these assignments are so assigned, and may be withdrawn
by Interpage without any warning at any time. Customers who transfer their
assignments to Interpage (such as 800/888 numbers, pager numbers, etc.) agree
to relinquish control and ownership of these assignments to Interpage unless
this section is specifically waived by Interpage via notarized writing.
3. PRIVACY: Interpage strongly
supports our customers' rights of privacy,

4. UNSOLICITED E-MAIL/"SPAM"/FAXES: Any unsolicited
e-mail message(s) and/or fax transmissions, commonly known as "spam",
is/are strictly prohibited on any Interpage facility, and any spam or unsolicited
faxing/mailing which in any way involves Interpage facilities will result
in the immediate termination of all Interpage services to the given
individual(s)/organization(s) responsible for such activities. There will
be no advance warnings -- suspension will be immediate and irrevocable and
will result in the immediate forfeiture of any start-up, set-up, usage,
flat-rate, monthly and any other fees set by Interpage. Interpage will
does not in any way tolerate or allow unsolicited e-mail nor fax
transmissions to be originated, transported, or intentionally stored on
any Interpage facility. (This includes any mass-mailing with an Interpage
hosted return address and/or domain or WWW/Web site or other Internet
addressable URL, IP, or other address.) Any use of Interpage's facilities
for such purposes is an acession by customer of responsbility for all
losses and damages incurred by Interpage and indicative of their agreement
as per this section to compensate Interpage in full for any and all such
losses. Non-qualified ("cold") lists are permitted in limited instances
for NON-COMMERCIAL messages ONLY, such as political action campaigns,
etc., and are not subject to the instant provision, supra., however, other
limitations may apply. Please contact Interpage for details on political
action faxing and limitations thereof.
5. ABUSIVE PRACTICES OR USE: Any customer who utilizes any
of Interpage's services and/or those of any Interpage affiliate in a manner
which can reasonably be construed as abusive will be subject to immediate
suspension and/or termination of their account(s) without any notice
whatsoever, and Interpage may not be held liable in any way for said
service suspension/termination (Regardless of the above, Interpage may
not at any time be held liable in way for service interruptions or
outages for any reason; the aforementioned "ABUSIVE PRACTICES OR USE"
section shall not be constructed to imply any liability for any reason as
a result of Interpage's performance or lack thereof.)
DIALOUT ABUSE: Interpage customers may not use the Interpage
Fax
service, the Freefax service, the Freepage service, the paging gateway
service, the Voicemail/Telephone notification service, Intertalk(SM),
Webalert(SM), LinkAlert(SM) or any other Interpage service to initiate
and/or disseminate annoyance, harrasing, or unwanted communications or
communication attempts of any kind. Upon authorized notification from a
recipient party who Interpage verifies is the authorized owner of a given
fax number, phone number, voicemail number, pager number, e-mail address or other communications mechanism or device, Interpage will unilaterally and
without notice to the initiator of said faxes, pages, voicemail,
telephone calls, e-mails or other communications cease all traffic to
that given number/device/address/other. The initiating customer will
still be responsible for all charges to that number regardless of whether
or not calls/communications to that number have been completed.
Calls to fax numbers, voice numbers (POTS, cell phones, voicemail systems,
etc), pagers (paging terminals, paging systems, alpha terminals, etc), and/or any other directly-dialable destination which may be configured or set by a given customer, which are not answered by a fax machine/end device (such as a pagers, voicemail, landline phone; collectively refered to as 'device') and are not supervised may be billed as completed calls should the number of failed (non-billable) calls exceed 50% of the total number of calls to that given number/destination in a given monthly billing cycle. Thus for example, if 100 faxes are sent to a given fax number and only 10% are successfully sent, Interpage
will nevertheless charge for the 90 faxes not sent (or a multiple thereof
based on the user's retry settings; thus, if a user account is set to 4
retry attempts per fax, the above example would yield 90 faxes tried 4
times each, or 360 billable fax attempts) to the busy/no
answer/non-supervised number in that given month so as to deter abusive
use of the Fax service and for other reasons. Dialout abuse rate calls are
billed as per your rateplan's per-minute, per-destination (or per-fax if applicable) rate; FaxUnlimited and other rateplans with no or otherwise non-applicable or non-descript per-minute/per-use charge will, for the purposes of calculating dialout abuse charges, be billed at the Tier I rate.
Additionally, customers who call (cause to be called via the use of
Interpage's services) telephone or other dialable destinations
in a manner which causes the owner of said number(s) to experience
and/or suffer adverse consequences of said calls (such as, but not limited
to, monetary loss, loss of business due to lines being tied up, 800 or
toll-free services where the caller pays for received calls, etc) agree to
assume all costs associated with any claims brought against Interpage
by said owners of dialed numbers, and to fully indemnify for all costs
which directly or indirectly result from said calls.
DIALIN ABUSE: Customers of services which allow for
dial-in via telephone, fax, or other device, generally, but not limited
to, FaxUp, DirectPage, TAP/IXO, Alarm Messaging/Industrial Controls
monitoring, Webalert, and Interpage Voicemail, are responsible for
all calls placed to their assigned telephone numbers, and said
calls will count towards usage tallies, quotas, and/or any other numeric
limit or billing plan offered by Interpage and acceded to by the given
subscriber's subscription to any such given service. All calls to said
assigned and/or general numbers may count towards said
limitations/quotas, regardless if any or all calls to the given
number result in a completed message, page, fax, or other transmission.
Customers/Accounts which receive an inordinate number of calls to a given
assigned or general use number which detrimentally affects or in any way
harms Interpage or prevents other Interpage customers from the full and
proper use of their accounts, regardless of the reason, may be subject to
immediate suspension. Unless otherwise specifically provisioned or noted in a
given account's rate basis, Interpage considers greater than 2000 dialin
attempts in any 24-hour period per se dialin abuse and grounds for immediate
account suspension. It is the customer's obligation to responsibly
divulge their account access number(s) and police it's/their use with
reasonable care and in a manner consistent with Interpage's service
policies, and all said dialin service customers agree that they will be
solely responsible for any costs and/or charges which their use and
dissemination of said numbers as per their given rateplan's policies
regarding call limits, overages, message limits, message overages, per
call charges, per message charges, and any other similar constructions
which pertain to call quotas or limits, regardless of whether a given
call or set of calls actually result in a completed or received message or
transmission.
