Terms and Conditions

The Agreement governs the provision by AQX to the Customer of access to the web-based service described at www.AQX.ai, as it may be updated from time to time in AQX’s sole discretion (the “AQX Service”). The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior communications and agreements. Any term not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Service Agreement. Compliance with Applicable Telemarketing and Dialing Laws Subscriber agrees that it shall comply with and abide by all applicable Federal and State laws, rules and regulations governing the use of automated or prerecorded/artificial calls or texts including but not limited to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Telemarketing Sales Rule and accompanying Do-Not-Call regulations, and, without limitation, any and all current or future equivalent state telemarketing laws regulating the use of prerecorded or automated calls/texts, state do-not-call regulations, and state telemarketer registration requirements. Subscribers shall provide accurate, correct, and truthful Caller ID information. Subscribers shall provide all disclosures required by law. Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that compliance with such laws is Subscriber’s sole responsibility. Affirmative Consent Where Required The subscriber acknowledges and understands that recipient consent is required for certain types of communications. The subscriber understands that there may be different “levels” of consent for different communications. Without limiting the foregoing sections, if Subscriber does not have either consent or a business relationship with a recipient as required by applicable law or legally valid exemption from, or legally valid exception to, such laws, Subscriber shall not make that communication. Subscriber (i) has and maintains personally or via a third-party the records to prove that Subscriber had the necessary consent, business relationship or legally valid exemption from, or legally valid exception to, such laws at the time of the communication and (ii) will provide certified copies of such records to AQX promptly on AQX’s email request. AQX Service. Access to the AQX Service. During the Term and subject to Customer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, AQX shall provide Customer with non-exclusive access to the AQX Service and grants Customer the right to access and use the AQX Service solely for its own business purposes. End Users. Access to the AQX Service is made available for the Customer only. The customer is required to maintain that each end-user (an “End-User”) has unique log-in credentials. Customer will ensure that End Users maintain the confidentiality of their log-in credentials and will be responsible for End-Users’ compliance with this Agreement. Third Party Services. AQX offers the ability to integrate the AQX Service with certain services and applications operated by various third parties (“Third Party Services”). AQX is not responsible or liable for (i) the content of the Third Parties Services, (ii) the availability or reliability of the Third Party Services, or (iii) any acts or omissions of the parties offering such Third Party Services. If Customer chooses to connect its AQX account with a Third Party Service, Customer grants AQX permission to access and use its information from that service as permitted by that Third Party Service, and to store its log-in credentials for that Third Party Service solely for the purpose of facilitating such connection. Professional Services. AQX and Customer may additionally agree upon the provision by AQX of professional services relating to the implementation or other support of Customer’s use of the AQX Service, as set forth in a Statement of Work referencing this Agreement (“Professional Services”). Billing and Payments. Pricing Structure. The pricing model for the AQX Service has the following components as set forth in the applicable Service Agreement: (i) an annual license fee (the “License Fee”); (ii) credits that, upon purchase, are applied to Customer’s account to be used as described below (“Credits”) and (iii) fees for Professional Services (“Professional Service Fees” and together with License Fees and Credits, “Fees”). Credit balances are drawn against when Customer incurs charges for items such as telephony minute usage, phone number line access fees or connection fees, as applicable. If there are no Credits available on Customer’s account at the time Customer incurs charges, Customer is billed for such charges monthly in arrears at list price. Fees charged are as-described on the applicable Service Agreement or Statement of Work and are not refundable. Credits expire at the end of the Subscription Term set forth in the Service Agreement. Modifying Your Subscription. If you choose to upgrade your plan or add Credits, any additional cost will be payable upon the date of such change.

Billing Disputes. Customer agrees that it shall notify AQX within 60 days of receipt of an invoice from AQX if it intends to dispute the amounts owed under such invoice, and that after 60 days all undisputed invoices will be deemed to have been accepted.

Confidentiality. Nondisclosure. Each party (each a “Receiving Party”) agrees that it shall use and reproduce the Confidential Information of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) only for purposes of exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement and only to the extent necessary for such purposes and shall restrict disclosure of such Confidential Information to the Receiving Party’s employees, consultants, or advisors who have a need to know and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality and nonuse at least as protective of such information as this Agreement and shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party. The foregoing obligations shall be satisfied by the Receiving Party through the exercise of at least the same degree of care used to restrict disclosure and use of its own information of like importance, but not less than reasonable care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement for the Receiving Party to disclose Confidential Information if compelled to do so under law, in a judicial or other governmental investigation or proceeding, provided that, to the extent permitted by law, the Receiving Party has given the Disclosing Party prior notice and reasonable assistance to permit the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to object to and/or limit the judicial or governmental requirement to disclosure. “Confidential Information” means all information of a party disclosed to the other party, regardless of the form of disclosure, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, including without limitation and without the need to designate as confidential, the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither party shall be liable for using or disclosing information that such party can prove: (i) was publicly known at the time it was disclosed or has become publicly known through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, at the time of disclosure, as demonstrated by files in existence at the time of disclosure; (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party; (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without any use of the Confidential Information, as demonstrated by files created at the time of such independent development; (v) becomes known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, from a source other than the Disclosing Party without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party and otherwise not in violation of the Disclosing Party’s rights; or (vi) is disclosed generally to third parties by the Disclosing Party without restrictions similar to those contained in this Agreement.

Each party represents and warrants that (i) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance hereunder will not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation (including, in the case of Customer, with respect those laws relating to call recording, telemarketing and privacy).
