DID/telephone numbers are acquired from and assigned by our supported vendors, and therefore BatchService makes no representation, warranty or commitment regarding the availability of any such numbers.

BatchService may provide Customer with the vendor’s procedures and charges for number porting or direct Customer to the vendor’s website, at BatchService’s election, upon request. BatchService may invoice Customer for charges and costs associated with DID/telephone numbers (including on behalf of its vendors) and such charges and costs will be payable in accordance with Section 3.

 

8.4 BatchService will use best efforts to pass through to Customers whose Services include BatchDialer or other outbound-calling VoIP capabilities the 911/E911 services provided by BatchService’s vendors. 911/E911 service over VoIP, when available, is different from traditional 911 service and is subject to a number of limitations.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, BATCHSERVICE MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

 

 

10. Record Retention. BatchServices will not assume any obligation to maintain records related to the Customer’s use of the Services, including without limitation queries or searches of data or records of calls placed using the Services.

 

 

11. Termination or Suspension.

 

11.1 Termination for Convenience. CUSTOMERS THAT SIGNED BATCHDATA ANNUAL AGREEMENTS ARE EXCLUDED FROM SECTION 11.1 BatchService reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and Customer’s account hereunder at any time in its sole discretion for any or no reason whatsoever.

 

11.2 Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other Party (a) breaches any of its materials obligations hereunder and such breach, if capable of cure, is not cured within three (3) days of written notice from the non-breaching Party; or (b) files or becomes subject to any proceeding in bankruptcy or receivership, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes insolvent.

 

11.3 Suspension. BatchService may immediately suspend Service to Customer, with or without notice, and without liability to Customer, and may thereafter terminate this Agreement upon notice, in the event that:

 

(a) Customer fails to pay any amount when due.

(b) BatchService believes, in its sole discretion, that Customer or any person using or accessing the Services under its account, has violated any applicable law, any of the acceptable use provisions hereof, or any of the provisions of Section 2 related to activities prohibited under the License.

(c) BatchService receives any complaint from any individual that Customer or anyone using Customer’s account has contacted such individual without consent. Upon Customer’s cure of any cause for suspension within the period provided in Section 9.2, BatchService may require payment of a reinstatement fee prior to restoring the account and, where Customer’s account was suspended for failure to make timely payment, BatchService may require a letter of credit or other guarantee of payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event that BatchService is entitled to suspend any Service under this Agreement a second time, BatchService may terminate the Agreement immediately upon notice to Customer without opportunity to cure.

 

11.4 In the event that Customer attempts to terminate or cancel Service prior to the end of the then-current Term for any reason other than BatchService’s uncured breach, BatchService may continue to collect all amounts due for the remainder of the then-current Term.

 

11.5 Upon termination, expiration or cancellation of your Service for any reason, your account, and all data obtained and stored through the Services will be deleted and Customer shall make no further use of the Services or any software associated with the Services.

 

 

12. Indemnification. Customer will defend, indemnify and hold BatchService harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, suits, fines, forfeitures, liabilities or expenses of any kind, including without limitation court costs and attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”) arising from or related to (a) the use of the Services and the data derived therefrom by Customer or any of its Authorized Users; (b) access to or use of the Services or Customer’s account by Unauthorized Users; (c) any violation of law by Customer or any person accessing or using Customer’s account; or (d) any violation of this Agreement or the License granted hereunder by Customer or any person accessing or using Customer’s account.

 

 

13. Limitation of Liability. Except for indemnification pursuant to Section 10, neither party shall be liable for any consequential, incidental, special, punitive or indirect damages (including, but not limited to, loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible items) even if the other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages or losses. With respect to any other damages, BatchService’s liability hereunder shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the amount actually paid by Customer to BatchService for the one (1) month immediately preceding the claim being made, regardless of the basis for the claim. Customer UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT LIMITATION ON Customer’S RIGHT TO SUE BATCHSERVICE AND Customer SHOULD NOT PROCEED IF Customer DOES NOT AGREE.

 

 

14. Liquidated Damages. In the event that you violate this Agreement by (a) sub-licensing your rights to a third party; (b) permitting, intentionally or negligently, a third party to gain access to your login credentials; (c) selling any of the data that you access or receive through the Services; or (d) otherwise allowing a third party to benefit from your subscription or use of the Services, you acknowledge that damages to BatchService may be difficult to calculate, and therefore you agree that we shall have the right to elect to demand, and you agree to pay, the following amounts as liquidated damages and not as a penalty:

 

$10,000 per third party user who accesses your account;

$2 per data record obtained in violation of these Terms of Service;

$2 per data record sold by you;

You further acknowledge that BatchService (a) has the the right to collect and analyze Customer Data and other information relating to the provision, use and performance of the Services and shall be free (during and after the term hereof) to use such Customer Data and other information to develop and improve the Services and other BatchServices offerings and (b) may collect, use and share any personal information processed in connection with your use of the Services (including any personal information contained within Customer Data) in accordance with the Privacy Notice available at https://batchleads.io/privacy-policy, including to develop and improve the Services and to enhance the data provided to you and other customers through the Services.  

 

 

16. Relationship of the Parties. The parties hereto are independent contracting parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, franchise, agency, employment relationship, fiduciary relationship or any other form of legal association between the parties, unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement.

 

 

17. Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Arizona, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof. The parties agree exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all litigation under this Agreement shall be in the state and federal courts in or for Maricopa County, Arizona. Each party submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any defense that such courts lack jurisdiction or constitute an inconvenient forum.

Customer may not assign this Agreement or any of the rights granted hereunder without the prior written consent of BatchService.

 

 

19. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure in performance to the extent the delay or failure is caused by events beyond the party’s reasonable control, including without limitation, fire, flood, Act of God, explosion, war or the engagement of hostilities, strike, embargo, labor dispute, government requirement, civil disturbances, civil or military authority, and inability to secure materials, systems, subsystems, components, underlying services or transportation facilities (“Force Majeure”).

Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed properly made when delivered by email, hand delivery, overnight courier, or mailed via Certified or Registered Mail (Return Receipt Requested), if to Customer, to the address stated on the Service Contract or Order; and if to BatchService, to 4625 S Wendler Dr, Tempe, AZ 85282, Attn: BatchService Customer Support Team, Email: support@batchservice.com.

 

 

21. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, including these Terms of Service, the Service Contract and/or Order(s), and any Attachments hereto or thereto, constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement and will supersede all previous and contemporaneous communications, representations or understandings, oral and/or written, between the parties relating to that subject matter This Agreement will not be contradicted or supplemented by any prior course of dealing between the parties or any advertising, marketing, web pages or other materials released or made available by BatchService. BatchService may amend or update these Terms of Service at any time, from time to time, in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof. Except as otherwise specified in a Service Contract or Order, prices may be changed by BatchServices in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise stated herein, the Agreement may not be modified or amended unless in a written instrument signed by the parties. In the event of an actual conflict between one or more provisions of any Service Contract, Order or Attachment and any provision of these Terms of Service, these Terms of Service will control unless such Service Contract, Order or Attachment (a) explicitly states that such document supersedes one or more provisions of the Terms of Service and explicitly sets forth the provision(s) that are superseded; and (b) is signed by an officer of BatchService.

 

 

22. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is determined to be unenforceable or invalid by court decision, the Agreement will not be rendered unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and the original unenforceable provision will be changed only minimally as required for it to be enforceable and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision within the limits of applicable law.

 

 

23. No Waiver. The failure of either party to assert any of its rights under the Agreement, including, but not limited to, the right to terminate the Agreement in the event of breach or default by the other party, will not be deemed to constitute a continuing or permanent waiver by that party of its right to enforce each and every provision of the Agreement in accordance with their terms.

 

 

24. Parties; Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties to the Agreement are you and BatchService. In no event will any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of BatchService have any obligation or liability to you, under the Agreement or otherwise. The Agreement shall insure solely to the benefit of Customer and BatchService and their permitted successors and assigns; provided, that any parent, subsidiary or affiliate whose Services BatchService provides to you shall be a third party beneficiary of the Agreement.

 

 

25. Export Controls. The Services may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions. Each Party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government denied-party list. You shall not access or use any Service in a U.S.-embargoed country or in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation.

 

 

26. Interpretation. Capitalized terms defined in this Agreement will have the meanings attributed to them. Unless context clearly requires otherwise, the plural of any term will include the singular and vice versa, and terms of any gender will include all genders. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and will not affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. In the event that this Agreement requires interpretation, it shall be construed fairly in accordance with its terms and no provision hereof shall be construed more strictly against either party. In the event of an actual conflict in the provisions of any of the documents comprising the Agreement, an express provision in Trial terms, a Service Contract, Order accepted by BatchService or a Plan that explicitly supersedes or directly contradicts a provision of these Terms of Service shall control; provided that contradictory terms applicable for a Trial shall only control for the period of such Trial.
