The activation of a User by an Account Administrator designated by Customer shall be deemed a representation and warranty by Customer that such User’s identity has been verified and such User is duly authorized by Customer, and QUICKTALK shall be permitted to rely on the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the activation of Quicktalk’s Account is left to the discretion of QUICKTALK, which specifically reserves the right not to activate the account in case of doubt of the Customer’s identity or misrepresentation on the Customer’s part, or when payment authorization is declined.

A Quicktalk Number is provided upon the creation of a User Account by means of a License. Regulatory authorities or third parties from whom QUICKTALK obtains Quicktalk Numbers may, in this context, require documentation proving the User’s identity, according to the type and area code of the telephone number entered upon Registration. If QUICKTALK requires such documentation, it must be provided by the Customer upon the creation of the User account, and no activation of Service will be possible without these documents. If this documentation is lacking, QUICKTALK reserves the right to automatically terminate any affected User Account without providing any refund. Unless prohibited by such regulatory authorities or third party providers of numbers, QUICKTALK may permit a Customer Account Administrator, who has been verified in accordance with the preceding paragraph, to register User accounts for purposes of obtaining a Quicktalk Number, and such registration shall be deemed a representation and warranty of Customer as to the User’s identity and authorization, upon which QUICKTALK shall be entitled to rely.  In case of inaccurate information provided during Registration with no rectification within 8 (eight) days of QUICKTALK providing notice, QUICKTALK reserves the right to terminate the User Account. All sums paid by Customer will be retrained by QUICKTALK. QUICKTALK reserves the right to modify its verification and authentication processes from time to time upon notice to Customer.

3.3 Call recording.

Depending on the chosen plan, Customer may activate or deactivate the automatic recording option. Regulations related to the recording of phone conversations as well as the length of time they may be stored vary according to the concerned country/geographic zone; it is thus the exclusive responsibility of Customer and Users, when considering using this option, to ensure its legality. Customer and Users of the Service commit, in case of claims related to recorded phone calls, agree to indemnify and hold QUICKTALK harmless for any and all claims by third parties relative to Customer or its Users’ use of the call recording function.  If the call recording option is activated, recorded conversations will be conserved for a period up to twelve (12) months, QUICKTALK can in no case be held liable with regard to these recordings, their content or archival. QUICKTALK will not disclose these recordings to third parties, except in the case of a valid legal request, such as a lawful subpoena.

3.6 Scope of Use/ Fair Usage. 

Customer and Users shall use the Service only as permitted in this Agreement and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to laws regarding the export of data, or software.  Customer shall use the Service only for its internal business purposes.  Customer’s use of the Service may be subject to certain restrictions and limits, including without limitation as to conference ports, number of users per subscription, and storage, which if applicable will be communicated by QUICKTALK. For each User, over the course of a determined period, the rate of use of the Service is proportional to the time during which the User is in communication with the correspondents they have called via the Service. Thus, it is on the basis of the average rate of Service use is determined. Use of a plan with unlimited calls is considered to be reasonable as long as the average rate of Service use observed among all Users associated with the Customer Account is less than five times the average rate of use of the Service as calculated on the basis of Quicktalk Customers benefiting from an unlimited call plan during the last six months. In case of inappropriate use or abuse, QUICKTALK reserves the right to cancel the unlimited call plan, pursuant to Section 22 and automatically migrate Customer and its Users to a usage-based plan without the option to revert to an unlimited call plan, and with no refund to Customer. For Customers with the SIP option, any use of a plan with unlimited calls employing automated call mechanisms (switches, PABX, dialers, etc.) is strictly forbidden and will result in termination of the unlimited call plan. The User Account of each User can be used only by the User, from the web browser of their personal computer or telephone. Sharing and mutual use of the User Account is not authorized. In particular, use of a User Account with multiple users is not permitted. It is prohibited to use the Service to receive or make calls with a telephone switch, switchboard, an automated calling machine or telephony software. The User Account is limited to a single call by the User at a time. With the paid option, a User can benefit from additional call channels. To make or receive calls not included in this unlimited plan, the Customer must buy prepaid credits, which are usable by all of the Users. These credits are valid for the duration of the Term, and are not reimbursable, exchangeable or transferable to another User Account. In eligible countries, the User may have the advantage of a mobile (or fixed with SMS capabilities) Ringover Number reserved exclusively for person-to-person use. A2P traffic (“application-to-person”) is not provided. In particular, if at any time the number of text messages sent minus the number of text messages received exceeds 100 over the last 30 days, or if the number of text messages sent exceeds 1,000, over the last 30 days, or if the number of different numbers to which SMS messages are sent exceeds 200 over the last 30 days or if the volume of calls received on a mobile number over the last 30 days exceeds 1,000 minutes, RINGOVER reserves the right to suspend access to the mobile number without warning. It is not possible to send premium text messages or text messages to overseas destinations. An SMS has a maximum length of 160 characters when composed of standard 7-bit characters, and 70 characters when composed of Unicode characters. Furthermore, for any communications from a mobile number with a foreign country code, only national person-to-person traffic from said country is covered. If RINGOVER determines that Customer has violated or is in violation of any of these Terms, RINGOVER will so notify Customer and may, in its sole discretion, terminate Customer’s Service.  In the event of such termination Customer shall remain bound by the following payment obligations: Customer shall pay the average amount of the three most recent invoices (or by default the amount of the last invoice) multiplied by the number of months remaining until the end of the Customer’s Initial Term commitment period or current Renewal Term. Customer may not transfer its Service subscription to any other company or entity.

3.7 Abnormal Usage

QUICKTALK may suspend or terminate the Service in case of:

- Mass spamming and robocalling: the Subscriber must ensure that each User does not make more than 60 outgoing calls (completed or not) per day lasting less than 15 seconds. If one or more Users reach this threshold three or more times in a month, QUICKTALK reserves the right to suspend these Users and/or terminate the Service.

- Unreasonable use of the plan: For each User, during a given period of time, the rate of use of the Service is the proportion of time during which the User is in communication with the correspondents he has called using the Service. Thus, the average rate of use of the Service is the average rate of use of the Service observed over a set of Users, during a given period of time. The use of the plan with unlimited calls is considered reasonable when the average rate of use of the Service observed on all the Users attached to the Subscriber Account is less than five times the average rate of use of the Service as observed on the Quicktalk customer base benefiting from a plan with unlimited calls over the last six months. Conversely, QUICKTALK reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate the Service.

- Shared use of the User Account: The User Account of each User can only be used by this User, from the web browser of his personal computer or from his personal IP telephone.Sharing and shared use of the User Account is not allowed. In particular, the use of the User Account as a call collection and/or termination provider is not permitted and it is notably forbidden to use the Service to receive or make calls with a telephone switch, switchboard, automatic call machine or telephony software. The User Account is limited to one simultaneous call per User.

Applicable rates are those indicated at the time of Registration and correspond to those listed at https://www.quicktalk.com/pricing.The Registration rate is based on the number of Licenses and Quicktalk Numbers requested by Customer.
