7.3 You represent and warrant: (i) that You are solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of Your Application and for Your Content, including without limitation, the accuracy, appropriateness and completeness of Your Content and all product-related materials and descriptions; (ii) that You have the necessary rights and licenses, consents, permissions, waivers and releases to use and display Your Application and Your Content; (iii) that neither Your Application nor Your Content (a) violates, misappropriates or infringes any rights of us or any third party, (b) constitutes defamation, invasion of privacy or publicity, or otherwise violates any rights of any third party, or (c) is designed for use in any illegal activity or promotes illegal activities, including, without limitation, in a manner that might be libelous or defamatory or otherwise malicious, illegal or harmful to any person or entity, or discriminatory based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age; (iv) that neither Your Application nor Your Content contains any harmful components; and (v) to the extent to which You use any of the CallerReady Marks, that You will conduct Your business in a professional manner and in a way that reflects favorably on the goodwill and reputation of CallerReady. You also represent and warrant that You are responsible for any charges incurred by virtue of Your use of the Application, no matter whether the Application acted in error.

7.4 You further understand and agree that You will have use of the telephone number(s) that are provided as part of the services only until the end of the term of Your Agreement with CallerReady or until CallerReady no longer provides You with Service. You understand and agree that CallerReady is the customer of record for all telephone number(s) provided as part of the Services and, therefore, CallerReady has certain rights with respect to porting of the number(s) (“Porting” is causing or attempting to cause number(s) to be transferred, switched, or otherwise moved to any other service provider, telephone carrier, or any other person or entity). As the customer of record for the telephone number(s), CallerReady owns the telephone number(s) assigned to you. CallerReady generally ports a telephone number at the request of a customer. CallerReady reserves the right to refuse to port any telephone number(s) in its sole discretion.

7.4.1 If You “ported in” any telephone number(s) in connection with Your use of Services, CallerReady assigned You one or more toll free telephone numbers, You are entitled to “port out” a telephone number under non-U.S. law, or CallerReady has agreed to port out any telephone number(s), You may “port out” such number(s) only if You satisfy the following requirements: (1) You provide written notice to CallerReady of Your intent to “port out” such number(s) no later than thirty (30) days after providing CallerReady notice of Your intent to terminate this Agreement (the “Porting Notice Period”); (2) Your new telephone carrier provides CallerReady’s telephone carrier a duly executed porting request prior to the expiration of the Porting Notice Period; (3) You have paid CallerReady for all Services provided to You prior to the date You provide CallerReady notice of Your intent to terminate this Agreement; and (4) You have paid CallerReady any administrative fees associated with processing the port. You hereby authorize CallerReady to charge Your account in the applicable amount for the administrative fees in subsection (4) above or to otherwise arrange to make this payment to CallerReady within the Porting Notice Period. The porting process can be lengthy; if You would like to maintain Your account with the company during the porting process, You must maintain Your account in an active status and not terminate Your account until the porting out is complete. Regardless of when the port out is complete, You will continue to be responsible to pay all applicable account fees with respect to the telephone numbers until You formally terminate this Agreement. If You fail to satisfy any of the foregoing requirements, CallerReady remains the customer of record over the number(s) and You are expressly prohibited from causing or attempting to cause such number(s) to be transferred to any other service provider, telephone carrier or any other person or entity. CallerReady also retains the right to reclaim the number(s) from You after the number(s) are ported out in contravention with these requirements and authorize CallerReady to charge Your account or take any other measures to collect the costs associated with causing the number(s) to be returned to CallerReady. You understand and agree that even if You satisfy the requirements set forth in this section, technical or procedural difficulties or interruptions may occur when attempting to port out these numbers and such difficulties or interruptions may prevent Your new carrier from porting the numbers. CallerReady is not responsible for such technical or procedural difficulties or interruptions.

7.4.2 You understand and agree that following the termination of this Agreement for any reason, your number(s) may be re-assigned to another customer. You agree that CallerReady will not be liable for damages (including consequential or special damages) arising out of any such re-assignment and You hereby waive any claims with respect to any such re-assignment, whether based on contractual, tort or other grounds, even if CallerReady has been advised of the possibility of damages.

7.4.3 You understand and agree that CallerReady may need to change the telephone number(s) assigned to You. You agree that CallerReady will not be liable for damages (including consequential or special damages) arising out of any such change in the telephone number(s) assigned to You and You hereby waive any claims with respect to any such change, whether based on contractual, tort or other grounds, even if CallerReady has been advised of the possibility of damages.

7.5 You represent and warrant that You have read and understood the Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy and General Terms and Conditions, and You agree to abide by their terms, where applicable, including as incorporated by reference herein. You further agree to abide by all applicable local, state, national, foreign and international laws and regulations and that You will be solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur under Your account or password, including the content of Your transmissions through the Service. By way of example, and not as a limitation, You agree not to violate any provisions of the Acceptable Use Policy.

7.6 You represent and warrant that without CallerReady’s express written consent You will not use, and will not authorize any third party to use, any Public Software (as defined below) in connection with the Services in any manner that requires, pursuant to the license applicable to such Public Software, that any CallerReady Properties or Services be (a) disclosed or distributed in source code form, (b) made available free of charge to recipients, or (c) modifiable without restriction by recipients.

8.1 You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us, our affiliates and licensors, each of our and their business partners (including third party sellers on websites operated by or on behalf of us) and each of our and their respective employees, officers, directors and representatives, harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), arising out of or in connection with any claim arising out of (i) Your use of the Services, CallerReady Properties and/or CallerReady Marks in a manner not authorized by this Agreement, and/or in violation of the applicable restrictions, the Acceptable Use Policy, and/or applicable law, (ii) Your Application, Your Content, or the combination of either with other applications, content or processes, including but not limited to any claim involving infringement or misappropriation of third-party rights and/or the use, development, design, manufacture, production, advertising, promotion and/or marketing of Your Application and/or Your Content, (iii) Your violation of any term or condition of this Agreement, the Acceptable Use Policy or any applicable additional policies, including without limitation, Your representations and warranties, or (iv) You or Your employees’ or personnel’s negligence or willful misconduct.

At our option, You will have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of Your own choosing (subject to our written consent) and to settle such claim as You deem appropriate, provided that You shall not enter into any settlement without our prior written consent and provided that we may, at any time, elect to take over control of the defense and settlement of the claim.

  1. Disputes

9.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we may seek injunctive or other relief in any state, federal, or national court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or alleged infringement of CallerReady’s or any third party’s intellectual property rights and/or proprietary rights. You further acknowledge that our rights in the CallerReady Services, CallerReady Properties and the CallerReady Marks are of a special, unique, extraordinary character, giving them peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be readily estimated and may not be adequately compensated for in monetary damages.

9.2 By using the Services, You agree that the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws, will govern this Agreement and any dispute of any sort that might arise between You and us.

9.3 Arbitration. YOU AND CALLERREADY BOTH AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES ONLY BY ARBITRATION. THERE’S NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND THE PROCEDURES MAY BE DIFFERENT, BUT AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD YOU THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF, AND MUST HONOR THE SAME TERMS IN THIS AGREEMENT, AS A COURT WOULD. IF THE LAW ALLOWS FOR AN AWARD OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THEM TOO. YOU AND CALLERREADY ALSO BOTH AGREE THAT:

9.3.1 THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY DISPUTE THAT IN ANY WAY RELATES TO OR ARISES OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR FROM ANY SERVICES YOU RECEIVE FROM US WILL BE RESOLVED BY ONE OR MORE NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS BEFORE THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”). YOU CAN ALSO BRING ANY ISSUES YOU MAY HAVE TO THE ATTENTION OF FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND IF THE LAW ALLOWS, THEY CAN SEEK RELIEF AGAINST US FOR YOU.

9.3.2 UNLESS YOU AND CALLERREADY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. YOU CAN GET PROCEDURES, RULES AND FEE INFORMATION FROM THE AAA (WWW.ADR.ORG) OR FROM US.

9.3.3 THIS AGREEMENT DOESN’T ALLOW CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ARBITRATIONS EVEN IF THE AAA PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD MONEY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL THEORIES OF LIABILITY OR PRAYERS FOR RELIEF MAY BE MAINTAINED IN ANY ARBITRATION HELD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

9.3.4 IF EITHER YOU OR CALLERREADY INTENDS TO SEEK ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTY SEEKING ARBITRATION MUST FIRST NOTIFY THE OTHER PARTY OF THE DISPUTE IN WRITING AT LEAST 30 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF INITIATING THE ARBITRATION. NOTICE TO CALLERREADY SHOULD BE SENT AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT. THE NOTICE MUST DESCRIBE THE NATURE OF THE CLAIM AND THE RELIEF BEING SOUGHT. IF YOU AND CALLERREADY ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE OUR DISPUTE WITHIN 30 DAYS, EITHER PARTY MAY THEN PROCEED TO FILE A CLAIM FOR ARBITRATION.

9.3.5 AN ARBITRATION AWARD AND ANY JUDGMENT CONFIRMING IT APPLY ONLY TO THAT SPECIFIC CASE; IT CAN’T BE USED IN ANY OTHER CASE EXCEPT TO ENFORCE THE AWARD ITSELF.

9.3.6 IF FOR SOME REASON THE PROHIBITION ON CLASS ARBITRATIONS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION (3) CANNOT BE ENFORCED, THEN THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WILL NOT APPLY.

9.3.7 IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND CALLERREADY AGREE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND CALLERREADY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY WAY. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS PARAGRAPH MAY BE FILED TO SHOW A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. YOU AND CALLERREADY ALSO AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER SHALL BE ADJUDICATED IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY IN PENNSYLVANIA, AND YOU CONSENT TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN SUCH COURTS.
