BILL PAYMENT.

1 You agree to pay Abbax  the then-applicable fees as set forth in any service plan in effect from time to time, if any (the “Fees”). Unless otherwise agreed in this Agreement, Abbax  may increase or add Fees upon thirty (30) days prior notice to You. All fees under these Terms of Service are irrevocable and nonrefundable.
2 If any Fees are payable, You agree to provide Abbax  with accurate billing information and with truthful, accurate and complete contact information, including Your legal name, street address, e-mail address and telephone number, and to update this information within thirty (30) days of any change to it. If the contact information You have provided is false or fraudulent, Abbax  reserves the right to terminate Your access to the Service immediately without any obligation to return Your Data.
3 For credit card payments, Your account will be considered delinquent if Your credit card company refuses for any reason to pay the amount billed to it.

4 Your access to the Service may be suspended if Your account is delinquent. Abbax  may impose a charge to restore Your Data from delinquent accounts. Abbax ’s suspension of the Service based on Your failure to make payment will not excuse You from Your obligation to make payment(s). Any account which is suspended for more than thirty (30) days will be terminated without any obligation on the part of Abbax  to maintain Your Data.

Subscriber may be required to pay monthly subscription charges, enhanced service charges, and/or usage charges in connection with the Services, as stated by Abbax . There may be additional fees if Subscriber requests a change in any Services. Depending upon the level of Services selected by Subscriber, there may be charges for calls to or from certain locations, including without limitation payphones, calls placed, and areas within extended calling zones. There may also be applicable taxes, surcharges, assessments, government fees and charges for any special or enhanced services Subscriber uses. Any of the foregoing may be billed to Subscriber when they reach a limit as Abbax  determines at its sole discretion.

Abbax  will charge Subscriber the rates in effect under Subscriber’s subscription plan, plus any enhanced service charges at the time of subscription, as such rates may be updated by Abbax  from time to time. Some charges (such as, but not limited to, surcharges) may accumulate in Subscriber’s account before Subscriber is charged for such amounts, or such amounts may be charged to Subscriber as assessed. If Subscriber has enrolled in a then-current subscription plan and chooses to change the plan, and if there are one or more days remaining on Subscriber’s current subscription, Subscriber will be credited for those days in the calculation of Subscriber’s charges. Subscriber’s billing cycle starts on the day the subscription purchase is successfully processed. If there is a change in subscription plan, there may be a resulting change in Subscriber’s billing date.

Subscriber agrees that all payments will be made to Abbax  via credit or debit card, issued by a US bank, including MasterCard, VISA®, AmericanExpress®, or Discover®. Abbax  may change the credit cards accepted at any time, at its sole discretion. Subscriber’s name and address as it appears on Subscriber’s Abbax  account must also be on the credit account from which Payment is made. If Subscriber provides a credit card number that Abbax  accepts for payment of Subscriber’s monthly bills, Subscriber is authorizing Abbax  to charge the amounts Subscriber owes, then or later, to that credit card account and to demand immediate payment from the card issuer. Subscriber also agrees to pay, under the terms of Subscriber’s agreement with the card’s issuer, the amounts charged to Subscriber’s credit card. Every time Subscriber uses Abbax  Services, Subscriber re-affirms that Abbax  is authorized to charge Subscriber’s card. Subscriber agrees to authorize Abbax  to charge purchases made online to the credit card account supplied to Abbax  when the subscription was initiated, or the card that Abbax  has on file when the purchase is made. Subscriber agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation attorney’s fees, incurred by Abbax  to collect any monies due under terms of this Agreement.

RETURNS & REPLACEMENTS.

Due to the nature of Abbax ‘s Services, returns or replacements are not always possible. Abbax  is a marketplace/search engine that aggregates phone numbers from various vendors and suppliers. Your selected phone number is secured on your behalf directly from our vendors who retain their own return policies. Not all phone numbers are available to be transferred to any carrier. Subscriber will need to confirm with their preferred carrier first if they will accept the Subscriber’s selected number(s) before purchasing.

RULES AND REGULATIONS.

Subscriber shall be solely liable for any transmissions sent through the Service. Abbax  has no control over the content of any transmission nor will it be liable for such content.

These may include, but are not limited to certain geographic locations, special services numbers, satellite telephony services, and other call forwarding services. Subscriber shall not use the Services to create or distribute any images, sounds, messages or other materials, which are obscene, harassing, racist, malicious, fraudulent infringing or libelous, nor use the Services for any activity that may be considered or are unethical, immoral, violative of any third party’s rights, or illegal.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH ABBAX .

Subscriber may provide information, including but not limited to feedback, data, answers, questions, comments, suggestions, plans and ideas to Abbax . Such information shall be deemed non-confidential and Abbax  assumes no obligation to protect such information from disclosure. The submission of such information to Abbax  shall in no way prevent the purchase, manufacture, or use of similar products, services, plans and ideas by Abbax  for any purpose whatever. Abbax  shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose and distribute such information to others without restriction. Subscribers shall have no recourse against Abbax  for alleged infringement or misappropriation in connection with any information or materials submitted to Abbax  hereunder.

USE POLICIES.

In addition, some of Abbax ‘s plans and other Services are offered on an “unlimited” basis. All unlimited plans:

• May only be used for normal personal/business use.
  • Are provided only for dialog between two individuals at one time per line.
  • Exclude international calling.
  • Are issued on a “one (1) user per line basis”, meaning that only one registered user may be assigned to use the Services for any one line.
  • Usage is monitored and capped at 2500 minutes and reviewed for potential abuse.
  Unlimited plans also may not be used for any of the following prohibited uses (which are in addition to the other prohibited uses applicable to all Services):
  • Trunking or forwarding Your Abbax number to (an)other phone number(s) capable of handling multiple simultaneous calls, or to a private branch exchange (PBX) or a key system.
  • Spamming or blasting (e.g., sending one hundred (100) or more bulk and/or junk voicemail or faxes simultaneously).
  • Bulk call-in lines (e.g., customer support or sales call centers, “hotlines”, 900 numbers, sports-line numbers, etc.).
  • Auto-dialing or “predictive” dialing (i.e., non-manual dialing or using a software program or other means to continuously dial or place out-bound calls).
  In addition, unusually high usage of the Services may impair Abbax ‘s ability to provide high quality Services to others and/or indicate unauthorized use of the Services, in which case Abbax may suspend or terminate Your Account or, upon prior notice, convert Your Account to a metered calling plan that charges significantly higher usage rates.
  PLAN CREDITS, TAXES, CHARGES, FEES AND CHARGEBACKS.
  Unlimited Plan. Abbax  offers unlimited monthly plans for some of its products and Services. An unlimited plan provides You with a local or toll-free telephone number and is subject to the terms and restrictions of the Use Policy set forth above and other restrictions described in this Agreement. If, for any reason, Abbax  believes that You are using the unlimited plan for a prohibited purpose and/or Your call usage violates the Use Policy, then Abbax  may, in its sole discretion with or without notice, either terminate Your unlimited plan or immediately convert Your unlimited plan to a metered plan, as set forth above.

NUMBER WAREHOUSING/HOARDING.

Abbax  does not warehouse, or hoard telephone numbers, as defined by the FCC.
Our search results include phone numbers that are aggregated from dozens of sources and then distilled using our proprietary search algorithm. In general, Abbax  does not own, nor hold any title to, listed telephone numbers until a bonafide subscriber establishes service through our website. Activation (setup) fees are not to be construed as the “purchase price” of a phone number; these fees cover the development and operational costs of our search engine service, as well as costs associated with service establishment through our underlying carriers/vendors.
Although it is rare, there is a chance that inventory reported herein may not be available due to database timing or other factors. Because availability is not guaranteed, you should make no assumptions about numbers that you order until we have notified you that your order is complete, and until you have placed a test call to verify operation of your new numbers. Our liability for unavailable numbers is limited to the cost paid for the number, and we are not responsible for any consequential damages such as printing or marketing costs.
Once a number is provisioned and operating properly, it becomes part of your Abbax  service, and may be used, ported away, or canceled, subject to our terms of use. As part of our commitment to control fraud, newly provisioned numbers may not be portable during the first 30 days. Telephone numbers that you cancel, or that are suspended due to non-payment, may be re-listed on our search engine, or returned to the available pool of numbers, at our sole discretion.

GENERAL.

Abbax  partners with registered carriers to terminate calls to the Public Switched Telephone Network (“PSTN”) and will audibly identify such carriers as the carrier providing such services where required by local or federal regulations. This Agreement, including any documents incorporated herein by reference, merges all prior written and oral communications and defines the entire agreement of the parties concerning the Services. In the event any portion of this Agreement shall be held illegal, void, or ineffective, the remaining portions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and such illegal, void or ineffective provisions shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by email or in writing. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Each party submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California, and irrevocably waive any right that such party may have to assert the such forum is not convenient or that any such court lacks jurisdiction. Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that any breach of the provisions regarding ownership contained in this Agreement shall cause Abbax  irreparable harm and Abbax  may obtain injunctive relief as well as seek all other remedies available to Abbax  in law and in equity. Subscriber shall not transfer or assign this Agreement or Subscriber’s rights under this Agreement. Any purported transfer or assignment in violation of this section is void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives. The failure of Abbax  to exercise its rights under this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of such rights, nor will it in any way affect the validity of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement relating to intellectual property ownership, restrictions on use or disclosure of the Services, disclaimers of warranties, limitations of liability and indemnification shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason. The U.N. Convention for the Sale of Goods shall not be applicable to this license of the Services to Subscriber.

The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users of the Service receive the following specific consumer rights notice: The Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1020 N Street, #501, Sacramento, California 95814, or by telephone at 1-916-445-1254.
