SERVICE

Term
Service is offered on a prepaid basis for VoipwarePrepaid and VoipwareCallingcard accounts and any balance remaining on such accounts will expire 120 days from the date of purchase of your account or your last recharge of such account, whichever is later. Service is offered on a monthly basis for all VoipwareMonthly accounts for a term which begins on the date that Voipware activates your Service and ends 30 days later. For VoipwareMonthly accounts, subsequent terms of this Agreement automatically renew on a monthly basis without further action by you unless you give Voipware written notice of non-renewal at least ten (10) days before the end of the monthly term in which the notice is given. VoipwareMonthly accounts purchase 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. Due to our verification process, all funds may not be available for immediate use.

Consumer
If you have subscribed to one of Voipware's consumer services (VoipwareMonthly, VoipwarePrepaid, or VoipwareCallingcard), the Service is provided to you as an individual user, for your personal, non-business and non-professional use. This means that you are not using them for any commercial or governmental activities, profit-making or non-profit, including but not limited to home office, business, sales, tele-commuting, tele-marketing, autodialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, fax broadcast, fax blasting or any other activity that would be inconsistent with normal residential usage patterns. This also means that you are not to resell or transfer the Service to any other person for any purpose, or make any charge for the use of the Service, without express written permission from Voipware in advance. You agree that your use of the Service, or the use of the Service provided to you by any other person for any commercial or governmental purpose will obligate you to pay Voipware's higher rates for commercial service on account of all periods, including past periods, in which you use, or used, the Service for commercial or governmental purposes. Voipware reserves the right to immediately terminate or modify the Service, if Voipware determines, in its sole discretion, that your Service is being used for non-residential or commercial use.

Business
If you have subscribed to Voipware's Small Business services, the Service and Materials are provided to you as a small business user. This means that you are not to resell or transfer the service or Materials to any other person for any purpose, without express written permission from Voipware in advance. You agree that the Voipware's Small Business Plans do not confer the right to use the service for auto-dialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, telemarketing, fax broadcasting or fax blasting. Voipware reserves the right to immediately terminate or modify the Service, if Voipware determines, in its sole discretion, that your Service is being used for any of the aforementioned activities.

VoipwareCallingcard
The VoipwareCallingcard service is only accessible from within the continental United States and is not available from Alaska, Hawaii, other US Territories or non-US locations.

PAYMENT

Voipware charges you in advance for every Service. For VoipwareMonthly accounts and other recurring accounts ("Recurring Service") Voipware only accepts payments by credit card. Your initial use of the Recurring Service authorizes Voipware to charge the credit card account number on file with Voipware, including any changed information given Voipware if the card expires or is replaced, for Voipware charges that accrue during the billing cycle. This authorization will remain valid until 30 days after Voipware receives your written notice terminating Voipware's authority to charge your credit card. Upon payment verification, you may be required to submit additional documentation establishing your identity and place of residence in order to have your Service activated. Voipware may terminate your Service at any time in its sole discretion, if any charge to your credit card on file with Voipware is declined or reversed or in case of any other non-payment of account charges. Termination of Service for declined card, reversed charges or non-payment leaves you FULLY LIABLE to Voipware for ALL CHARGES ACCRUED BEFORE TERMINATION and for charges incurred by Voipware owing to your non-payment, such as (but not limited to) collection costs and attorney's fees.

By using the Service, you authorize that any charges incurred from the use of the Service shall be debited from your Voipware account. You hereby agree that you are responsible for payment of all applicable charges on your call detail report incurred as a result of the use of your Voipware account for the Service, including but not limited to the use or misuse by an unauthorized third party, or any error, accidental use or loss. All funds in your Voipware account may not be available for immediate use due to our verification process. Voipware will not offer any refunds or reimbursements for the purchase price of accounts for the Services. Any fraudulent action by the user to avoid payment will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.  If Voipware suspects fraudulent use of your Voipware debit account, it may suspend or terminate your Voipware debit account without notice.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account number and/or password. You are responsible for all uses of your account, whether or not actually or expressly authorized by you. You agree to notify Voipware immediately, in writing or by calling the Voipware support line, if you become aware at any time that your Service is being stolen or fraudulently used.

Voipware recommends that you routinely review your online account history to ensure its accuracy.

BILLING

If you register for one of our pay services, you agree to be responsible for payment of all applicable charges incurred as a result of your use of the Voipware pay services, including but not limited to the use or misuse by an unauthorized third party, or any error, accidental use or loss. Voipware will not offer any refunds or reimbursements for the purchase price of a calling card account. Call times for each call are rounded up to the next whole minute and billed in full minute increments. Per call charges are rounded up to the next whole cent. All calls for which we receive answer supervision shall incur a minimum one-minute charge. Voipware relies on answer supervision to determine whether and when a call has been answered. Answer supervision is a signal sent by the carrier connecting the call to indicate the start of call. Answer supervision is generally received when a call is answered; however, answer supervision may also be generated by voicemail systems, private branch exchanges, and interexchange switching equipment. You must notify us in writing of any disputed charges within sixty (60) days of the charges or you will have waived your right to dispute the charges.
