2. TERMS OF SERVICE

"SERVICE" is defined as the Adondo® PALConnect™ service program which connects the Software to a VoIP network. This Agreement licenses you to use the Service only by means of the Software provided to you by Adondo.

2.A. TERM Service is offered on a monthly basis for a term which begins on a set day of the month that is established by Adondo and ends on the day before the same date in the following month. The first term of service will be pro-rated dependent on when Adondo activates your service. Subsequent terms of this Agreement automatically renew on a monthly basis without further action by you unless you give Adondo written notice of non-renewal at least ten (10) days before the end of the monthly term in which the notice is given. You are purchasing the Service for full monthly terms, meaning that if you attempt to terminate Service prior to the end of a monthly term, you will be responsible for the full month's charges to the end of the then-current term, including without limitation unbilled charges, all of which immediately become due and payable. Expiration of the term or termination of Service does not excuse the Customer from paying all unpaid, accrued charges due in relation to the Agreement.

2.B. USE OF SERVICE AND SOFTWARE The Service and Software are provided to you as a user. This means that you are not to resell or transfer the service or software to any other person for any purpose, without express written permission from Adondo in advance. You agree that the Service does not confer the right to use the service for auto-dialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, telemarketing (including without limitation charitable or political solicitation or polling), fax broadcasting or fax blasting. Adondo reserves the right to immediately terminate or modify the Service, if Adondo determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer's Service is being used for any of the aforementioned activities. If Adondo terminates or modifies service, a disconnect fee as outlined in Section 4.C.

2.C. PROHIBITED USES You agree to use the Service and Software only for lawful purposes. This means that you agree not to use them for transmitting or receiving any communication or material of any kind when in Adondo's sole judgment the transmission, receipt or possession of such communication or material (i) would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to a civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law or (ii) encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to a civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law. Adondo reserves the right to terminate your service immediately and without advance notice if Adondo, in its sole discretion, believes that you have violated the above restrictions, leaving you responsible for the full month's charges to the end of the current term, including without limitation unbilled charges, and a disconnect fee, all of which immediately become due and payable and may at Adondo’s discretion be immediately charged to your credit card. You are liable for any and all use of the Service and/or Software by yourself and by any person making use of the Service or Software provided to you and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Adondo against any and all liability for any such use. If Adondo, in its sole discretion believes that you have violated the above restrictions, Adondo may forward the objectionable material, as well as your communications with Adondo and your personally identifiable information to the appropriate authorities for investigation and prosecution and you hereby consent to such forwarding.

2.D. USE OF SERVICE AND SOFTWARE BY CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES While we encourage use of the Service within the United States to other countries, Adondo does not presently offer or support the Service to customers located in other countries except Canada. If you use the Service and Software in a country other than the United States or Canada, you do so at your own sole risk, including the risk that such activity violates local laws in the country where you do so. You are liable for any and all such use of the Service and/or Software by yourself or any person making use of the Service or Software provided to you and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Adondo against any and all liability for any such use. Should the removal from the United States or Canada of the Software violate any export control law or regulation, you will be solely liable for such violation and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Adondo against any and all liability for such violation. Adondo reserves the right to terminate your Service immediately and without advance notice if it determines that you are using it outside the United States or Canada.

2.E. LOSS OF SERVICE DUE TO POWER FAILURE OR INTERNET SERVICE OUTAGE OR TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION BY ADONDO You acknowledge and understand that the Service does not function in the event of power failure. You also acknowledge and understand that the Service requires a fully functional broadband connection to the Internet (which is not provided by Adondo) and that, accordingly, in the event of an outage of, or termination of service with or by, your Internet service provider ("ISP") and/or broadband provider, the Service will not function, but that you will continue to be billed for the Service unless and until you or Adondo terminate the Service in accordance with this Agreement. Should there be an interruption in the power supply or ISP outage, the Service will not function until power is restored or the ISP outage is cured. A power failure or disruption may require the Customer to close and re-launch the Software prior to utilizing the Service. Should Adondo suspend or terminate your Service, the Service will not function until such time as Adondo restores your Service (which may require payment of all invoices and reconnection fees owed by you or cure of any breach by you of this Agreement).

2.F. TAMPERING WITH THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICE You agree not to tamper with the Software. Adondo reserves the right to terminate your Service should you tamper with the Software, leaving you responsible for the full month's charges to the end of the current term, including without limitation unbilled charges, as well as a disconnect fee which immediately become due and payable. You agree not to hack or disrupt the service or to make any use of the Service that is inconsistent with its intended purpose or to attempt to do so.

2.G. THEFT OF SERVICE You agree to notify Adondo immediately, in writing or by calling the Adondo customer support line, if you become aware at any time that your Service has been stolen or is being fraudulently used. When you call or write, you must provide your Service phone number and/or Serial number and a detailed description of the circumstances of the theft or fraudulent use of Service. Failure to do so in a timely manner may result in the termination of your Service and additional charges to you. Until such time as Adondo receives notice of the theft or fraudulent use, you will be liable for all use of the Service and any and all stolen Service or fraudulent use of the Service.

2.H. SERVICE DISTINCTIONS You acknowledge and understand that the Service is not a telephone service. Important distinctions (some, but not necessarily all, of which are described in this Agreement) exist between telephone service and the enhanced Service offering provided by Adondo. The Service is subject to different regulatory treatment than telephone service. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before Federal, State or Provincial telecommunications regulatory agencies.

2.I. NO 0+ CALLING; MAY NOT SUPPORT X11 CALLING The Service does not support 0+ calling (including without limitation collect, third party billing or calling card calling). The Service may not support 311, 511 and/or other x11 services in one or more (or all) service areas. THE SERVICE DOES NOT SUPPORT 911 DIALING. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE SERVICE DOES NOT SUPPORT TRADITIONAL 911 OR E911 ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES.

4. CHARGES / PAYMENTS / DEFAULT / TAXES / TERMINATION

4.A. BILLING You must give us a valid credit card number (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express or any other issuer then-accepted by Adondo) when the Software and Service is purchased. Adondo reserves the right to stop accepting credit cards from one or more issuers. If the card expires, you close your account, your billing address changes, or the card is cancelled and replaced owing to loss or theft, you must advise Adondo at once. We will bill all charges, applicable taxes and surcharges monthly in advance (except for usage-based charges, which will be billed monthly in arrears, and any other charges which Adondo decides to bill in arrears) to your credit card, including but not limited to: activation fees, monthly Service fees, international usage charges, and advanced feature charges. Adondo reserves the right to bill at more frequent intervals if the amount due at any time exceeds $50.

billing@adondo.net

or

4.C. PAYMENT Adondo accepts payments only by credit card as set forth in Section 4.A of this agreement. Your initiation of the Service authorizes Adondo to charge the credit card account number on file with Adondo, including any changed information given Adondo if the card expires or is replaced, or if you substitute a different card, for Adondo charges as set forth in Section 4.A.

This authorization will remain valid until 30 days after Adondo receives your written notice terminating Adondo's authority to charge your credit card, whereupon Adondo will charge you any outstanding charges and terminate the Service. Adondo may terminate your Service at any time in its sole discretion, if any charge to your credit card on file with Adondo is declined or reversed, your credit card expires and you have not provided Adondo with a valid replacement credit card, or in case of any other non-payment of account charges.

Termination of Service for any reason outlined in this Agreement leaves you FULLY LIABLE to Adondo for ALL CHARGES ACCRUED BEFORE TERMINATION and for all costs incurred by Adondo in collecting such amounts, such as (but not limited to) collection costs and attorney's fees. We reserve the right to charge a disconnect fee in all such circumstances.

4.D. SERVICE TERMINATION/DISCONTINUANCE Adondo reserves the right to suspend or discontinue providing the Service generally, or to terminate your Service, at any time in its sole discretion. If Adondo discontinues providing the Service generally, or terminates your Service in its discretion without a stated reason, you will only be responsible for charges accrued through the date of termination, including a pro-rated portion of the final month's charges. If your Service is terminated for any stated reason, including without limitation violation of this Agreement, or because of any improper use of the Service or Device (such as, but not limited to, your attempts to hack, disrupt, or misuse the Service or your acts or omissions that violate any acceptable use policy of Adondo or of a third party provider to which Adondo is subject), you will be responsible for the full month's charges to the end of the current term, including without limitation unbilled charges, plus the disconnect fee set forth in Section 4.C, all of which immediately become due and payable.

4.E. TAXES You are responsible for, and shall pay, any applicable federal, state, provincial, municipal, local or other governmental sales, use, excise, value-added, personal property, public utility or other taxes, fees or charges now in force or enacted in the future, that arise from or as a result of your subscription or use or payment for the Service or Software. Such amounts are in addition to payment for the Service or Software and will be billed to your credit card as set forth in this Agreement. If you are exempt from payment of such taxes, you shall provide Adondo with an original certificate that satisfies applicable legal requirement attesting to tax-exempt status. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date Adondo receives such certificate.

5. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

This Agreement may be terminated by Adondo immediately and without notice if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement. Upon such termination, you must immediately destroy all complete and partial copies of the Software, including all backup copies. Adondo shall have the right to change or add to the terms of this Agreement at any time, and to change, discontinue or impose conditions on any aspect of the Software and Service. Such changes shall be effective upon notification by any means reasonable to give you actual or constructive notice, or upon posting such terms in the Software, and your continued use of the Software will indicate your agreement to any such change.
