As part of the Services, PowerDialer may make available PowerDialer Numbers to the Customer in multiple countries. PowerDialer has agreements in place with regulated providers of electronic communications that provide PowerDialer with phone numbers from multiple countries. The Customer acknowledges that the provision of PowerDialer Numbers is subject to the numbering rules and regulatory practices applicable in the countries where the Customer, Users, and/or Administrators are located as well as in the relevant country(ies) from which the PowerDialer Numbers were purchased.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that as part of the porting process, PowerDialer, any other relevant service provider, and/or third party must, as part of its compliance with applicable Law and industry standards, follow certain processes, and that therefore the completion of any number porting request may be delayed for reasons outside of PowerDialer’s control.

The Plan initial term starts on the date of the Purchase and will continue for the duration set forth in the Purchase (“Plan Initial Term”). Thereafter, the Plan Initial Term will automatically renew for additional periods of the same duration unless either Party provides a notice of non-renewal to the other Party no less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the current period of the Plan Term.

12.2 Termination.

Either Party may terminate this Agreement and any Services purchased hereunder in whole or part by giving written notice to the other Party if the other Party: (i) breaches any material term of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice; (ii) upon the commencement by or against the other Party of insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings; (iii) following the written recommendation of a government or regulatory agency following a change in either applicable Law. PowerDialer may terminate this Agreement and or any Order Form at any time and for any reason without any liability whatsoever. In the event such termination does not result from a breach by Customer of its obligations hereunder, PowerDialer will refund Customer for any unused portion of prepaid Fees covering the remainder of the Order Form Term from the effective date of such termination.

12.3 Effects of Termination.

Upon termination of this Agreement Customer must pay to PowerDialer immediately and without further notice, and in any case no later than thirty (30) days thereof, any accrued fees, charges, including any outstanding Fees.

12.4 Suspension.

PowerDialer may suspend Users’ and/or Administrators’ use of any Service if such use is determined by PowerDialer, in its sole but reasonable discretion, to be (i) in violation of the terms of the Agreement (including in case of non-payment on the due date) or of the Law or any policy provided or made available to Customer in writing; (ii) resulting in a degradation of the Service; (iii) otherwise damaging or likely to damage the rights or property of PowerDialer, its Affiliates or third parties, until such violation, degradation, or damage has been remedied. Except in the event legally prohibited or commercially unfeasible, PowerDialer will use reasonable endeavors to provide Customer with prior notice before any suspension detailing the causes and the expected duration of such suspension. PowerDialer reserves the right, in its sole but reasonable discretion, to delete, remove or block access to, all or part of any Customer Data that may violate or infringe the Law, the PUP, or any third-party rights, or otherwise expose or potentially expose PowerDialer or its Affiliates to civil or criminal liability. Suspension will not relieve Customer of its obligation to pay the Fees and the costs associated with the reactivation of the Services. PowerDialer is not responsible for any damages arising from the Service suspension under this Section 12.4. During the suspension period, Customer and PowerDialer will use their best endeavors to minimize any inconvenience caused by such suspension of the Services.

PowerDialer reserves the right to update/change the terms of this Agreement or any of its policies from time to time, and will provide notice to Customer at the email address associated with the Customer’s Account or via a pop-up on the Site, as decided by PowerDialer in its sole discretion. Such updates will become effective ten (10) days after such notice to Customer (such date, the “Updated Date”). If any such update would be of material detriment to Customer and is not required by Law, Customer must inform PowerDialer of Customer’s reasonable objection in writing (including reason of such objection) within ten (10) days of receiving the notice provided under this provision. If the Parties, negotiating in good faith cannot reach agreement within thirty (30) days, Customer may terminate the portion of the Services affected by the change without penalty by written notice to PowerDialer.

18. General Provisions

Customer and PowerDialer are independent contractors, and this Agreement will not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency between Customer and PowerDialer. PowerDialer’s failure or delay in exercising any right herein will not operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right herein. This Agreement, together with any Order Form(s), Purchases, Exhibits and/or Schedules, each of which is expressly incorporated into this Agreement with this reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes and replaces any and all prior or contemporaneous understandings, proposals, representations, marketing materials, statements, or agreements, whether oral, written, or otherwise, regarding such subject. In the event that the terms of this Agreement and the terms of an Order Form conflict the terms of the Order Form shall prevail. Sections 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12.3 and 18 included shall survive termination of this Agreement. PowerDialer reserves the right to refuse to provide the Services at its sole discretion to any Customer.

Each of the Parties waives its rights to a trial by jury of all claims or causes of action (including counterclaims) related to or arising out of this Agreement brought by either Party against the other. This waiver will apply to any subsequent amendments of or modifications to this Agreement. All claims between the Parties related to this Agreement will be litigated individually and Customer will not consolidate or seek class treatment for any claim with respect to the Services.

In case of any discrepancy between the English version of these Terms and Conditions and other language versions of the Terms and Conditions the English version shall prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of Customer, each Order Form may be signed by Customer or any of its Affiliates, provided Customer will remain jointly and severally liable for any and all actions or omissions of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement. Customer may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without PowerDialer’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Customer may assign this Agreement to (i) its Affiliates, and (ii) an entity in which the Customer may be merged or consolidated, or which purchases all or substantially all assets or equity interest of the assigning party. The assignee or transferee will assume all of the rights and obligations of the assignor or transferor under the Agreement and will be deemed the signatory of the Agreement without any further changes or amendment.
