10. Billing and Payments

10.1 By requesting, accepting, and/or utilizing the Services, you agree to provide your chosen payment method (ACH, credit card, wire transfer) as a recurring payment method and authorize the billing of your account for both the initial invoice and subsequent monthly fees and usage fees (if applicable) (collectively, the “Fees”). Payment of Fees for your first and last month’s service plus any options and initial setup fee are required in order to process your order for the Services. After the first month of Services, the Fees will be automatically deducted from your payment method on a monthly basis. It is your responsibility to maintain sufficient balance on your chosen payment method to allow settlement of charges. Interruption of service will be experienced in the event that the payment method held or prepayment balances are not maintained at sufficient levels to pay the Fees as they come due. Setup fees, custom programming fee and activation fees are non-refundable.

10.2 You hereby authorize VoiceNation to charge the indicated credit card on a recurring, monthly basis as payment for the Fees based upon the Services performed on your behalf. In the event of cancellation of service, you authorize VoiceNation to subsequently charge your credit card for payment of all remaining unpaid Fees or other charges for any Services already performed on your behalf by VoiceNation prior to cancellation.

10.3 Accounts for which Fees are overdue shall be subject to temporary disconnection. In order to reactivate an account disconnected to non-payment of Fees, all overdue Fees must be paid in full, along with a $25 re-activation fee.

10.4 Long-distance or toll-free usage is billed based upon 30-second increments and said usage fees shall be rounded up to the nearest penny on a per-call basis.

10.5 Due to the high costs of delivering excellent services and the remote nature of our clients, our answering services are billed in advance. While we offer limited and brief terms to our customers so that there is no interruption of service in cases where the usage exceeds the estimated and/or pre-paid amounts, it is agreed that the monthly invoice will be adjusted such that any deficit or unpaid usage will be settled and the pre-paid monthly service fee will be adjusted to compensate for the increased usage going forward.

10.6 VoiceNation may increase the charges for the Services on an annual basis. VoiceNation shall give the Customer 30 calendar days written notice with information regarding the increase.

10.7 You are responsible for paying all Fees and other charges to your account for Services, including but not limited to, long distance and directory assistance charges, regulatory (USF) Universal Service Fund fees and government fees, and for all taxes and surcharges, including regulatory recovery fees, imposed on you or us as a result of your use of the Services.

10.8 You agree that at any time VoiceNation may require you to place a security deposit on file for monthly base fees and usage charges. This deposit may be requested at any time during the contracted service dates between the Customer and VoiceNation LLC.

10.9 It is prohibited for any subscriber or user of VoiceNation’s products or services (collectively, the “Services”) to solicit, collect, store, provide, or publish any personally identifiable healthcare information or protected health information (collectively referred to as “PHI”) about themselves or others by means of or through the use of VoiceNation’s services or on any storage media hosted or maintained by VoiceNation. It is understood and acknowledged that any such PHI solicited, collected, stored, provided, or published by any VoiceNation subscriber or user of VoiceNation’s services is a material violation of these Terms and is grounds for immediate termination of a member or user’s privileges and/or permission to make use of VoiceNation’s services. It is further agreed that any person, persons, or entity soliciting, collecting, storing, providing, publishing or otherwise transmitting PHI by means of or through the use of VoiceNation’s services hereby releases VoiceNation from any and all liability associated with the publication of said phi and agrees to unconditionally and completely identify and hold harmless VoiceNation from any liability arising from the soliciting, collecting, storing, providing, publishing or otherwise transmitting of such PHI by means of VoiceNation’s services.

10.10 Billing Policy:

Inbound Operator Minutes: Billable operator minutes are measured from the time an inbound call is connected to a live operator, through the entire duration of that call while the operator is on the phone. If the operator has instructions to transfer the caller through to someone, the time while the operator is dialing outbound is also considered billable operator time. Once the call is successfully patched through to the recipient and the operator connects the two together, that stops the billable operator time. We do not charge for the time during which an inbound call is waiting to be answered by an operator.

Wrap-up Time: In some cases, there can be billable Wrap-up Time expended by the operator. An example of this is, when an operator is on a call and collecting their information to send out a message, and then the caller hangs up before the operator has completed typing the information to be delivered. At that point, the call is no longer connected, but the VoiceNation operator is still handling the details of the call to ensure the full message is transcribed and delivered. Wrap-up Time may include but is not limited to activities such as: finishing up typing in the message and/or making notes on the account. Since Wrap-up Time can vary from call to call, we have placed a cap on the maximum Wrap-up Time for which you can be billed up to 180 seconds per call.

Outbound dialing from the mobile app: When using the VoiceNation mobile app on Android or iPhone, you have the capability to make outbound phone calls using the app. This feature does have a cost associated with it of $0.10/minute. It will be reflected on your invoice as a long-distance charge. These minutes are not shown or included on your mydashboard.voicenation.com billing minutes.

Dispatching: If your account requires dispatching, the entire time that our agents are attempting to dispatch a call or calls to you or your employees is considered billable time. An example of this would be if your account requires us to attempt to reach multiple employees until someone answers, and we have to dial out to more than one person before we successfully connect the caller, that entire leg of the dispatching attempt would be billable time at the rates applicable to your plan.

Rounding: When calculating the total billable time for a call, we add up the Inbound Operator Time, the Wrap-up Time and the Dispatching Time, then round the call time up to the nearest 30-second increment. For example, a call that lasts for 62 seconds, then has 8 seconds of Wrap-up Time, will be billed at 90 seconds. However, if the billable time is less than 15 seconds, it is rounded to 15 seconds. At the end of the invoice period, we will total up all the billable seconds and round up to the nearest minute.

11. Termination of Services

11.1 The Services provided by VoiceNation are done so on a month-to-month basis and the agreement between you and VoiceNation for the use of these Services will automatically renew on a monthly basis until canceled or otherwise terminated by you or by VoiceNation. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you will automatically be charged each month for the Services you have selected until the use of those Services are canceled or otherwise terminated. You hereby give authorization for payment for VoiceNation’s Services to be automatically charged each month to the credit card you have on file with VoiceNation. You may cancel your Services with VoiceNation at any time by giving 1 full calendar month advanced notice to VoiceNation. Since Services are billed on the first day of each month, if Services are canceled after the 1st calendar day of the month, the Customer will be responsible for payment of another full month of monthly service fees. Once your Services have been terminated, VoiceNation will not charge you for future, ongoing services unless and until you reestablish services with VoiceNation. Cancellation of your Services may be carried out through your online dashboard at mydashboard.voicenation.com (subject to state law) or by contacting VoiceNation by mail, email, fax, or phone using the following contact points:

13.2 We will use our best efforts to maintain uninterrupted service. We are not responsible for uncompleted or irretrievable messages or beeps as a result of power and/or equipment failure.

13.3 In addition, because damages cannot be calculated in advance, the Customer agrees that the maximum liability for actual proven damages for any cause whatsoever, including but not limited to, any failure or disruption of services provided hereunder, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, including negligence, shall be limited to an amount equivalent to the charges payable by the Customer under this Agreement for the Services during the period such damages occur.

13.8 Our company offers its Services for “normal and customary” business use. We do not offer services for all types of use. We do not accept customers who receive large call volume, especially in a short time frame, unless a separate written agreement is in place for high volume use. One such example is direct response for radio and television advertising. In the event a subscriber’s line receives large call volume, we may, at our sole discretion, take any and all measures we consider appropriate to maintain the integrity of our systems and the service we provide to other customers. Such measures may include, but not be limited to:

Limiting the number of calls the subscriber’s service may receive at any one time;
Changing the greeting on the mailbox and/or disconnecting the service.

“Large call volume” will be solely determined by VoiceNation or by the specific provider of VoiceNation Services when contracted to a third-party provider.
