QUICKCALL Terms of Service

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We look forward to providing you excellent services. Before getting into all of the below language our lawyers are making us provide you, we want to remind you that in order to ensure that you are not using your mobile provider’s data services in connection with our Services, you must be on Wi-Fi.  You may, however, still be allowed to use your mobile service provider’s minutes in certain countries and it is your obligation to determine if such minutes can be used.  You also should be sure to know how the roaming rules apply for your mobile provider because we cannot be responsible for paying for any of your roaming charges.

1. Parties

QuickCall is pleased to provide prepaid or postpaid telephone service (the “Service” as more fully set forth herein) to you, subject to these terms of service (the “Terms of Service”). “You” and “your” refer, as applicable, to you and every person who uses the service provided to you.

2. Responsibility for All Charges; Changes to Terms of Service

You agree to be bound by the Terms of Service (i) when you click accept in the sign-up process or otherwise agree to the Terms of Service; (ii) access QuickCall and/or such other websites that are operated by QuickCall from time to time (the “Site”); or (iii) download a QuickCall application to your mobile device (an “App”); or (iv) otherwise use the Services in any other manner. If you do not agree to the Terms of Service, you may not activate or use the Services. Once accepted the Terms of Service constitute a binding agreement between you and QuickCall. In addition, by downloading the App to your mobile device you agree to the applicable terms of the license of Apple and Google which will bind you, including their payment terms and credit policies, whenever applicable.

We may make changes to Terms of Service from time to time and will publish the changes at the Site. The changes will be effective when published. Please review the Terms of Service on a regular basis. You understand and agree that your express acceptance of the amended Terms of Service, or if you continue to use the Services after the date of publication, shall constitute your agreement to the updated Terms of Service. You agree that if you do not accept any amendment to the Terms of Service then you shall immediately stop accessing and/or using the Site, App or any other part of the Services.

All charges for your Services will be in United States Dollars (“USD”) irrespective of in which country you live.  Any refunds for your Services will be provided in USD and provided in the same manner you paid for the Service, or will be provided as an account credit.  Any currency conversion charges shall be your responsibility, including such charges as imposed by your credit or debit card company should you pay using such methodologies.

3. Services Offered; Charges

QuickCall’s calling services will allow you to make and receive calls to telephone numbers to and from around the world (subject to your contact being in an area or jurisdiction which we at the time support). The calling services enable you to place voice calls over the public switched telephone network, terminating on both fixed and mobile telephony networks, and also via data connections. In some situations, QuickCall may use virtual local landline numbers and may route parts of the call over the internet. In some cases it is possible to originate a call via wireless data, including 3G or 4G, or also WiFi. We can offer termination in several countries around the world, but we can’t guarantee that we support termination in all countries or to all phone numbers or that we always will support termination to any particular country or phone number. We make no representation that our Services are available for use in any particular location. Note that certain parts of the call or all of the call will be routed over the Internet.

Virtual Number Service:  QuickCall also offers a Virtual Number feature (“VN Service”).  The VN Service is prepaid only and requires your separate enrollment and subscription.  Once you subscribe and prepay, the amount prepaid is not refundable.  The VN Service allows you to obtain a unique virtual number assigned to you.  The virtual number directs telephone calls to your Virtual Number.  You will also be able to place outbound calls from your Virtual Number.  You will receive an unlimited allowance of free inbound calls each month, subject to Reasonable Use restrictions. You will be charged for outbound calls, and the rates for these calls will vary based on the country from which the call originates, or to which the call terminates.  To locate the rates associated with such calls, you can go to QuickCall/rates.  Your rates are all-inclusive, meaning all State and Federal Taxes (“Taxes”) and other government mandated Surcharges (wherever applicable) associated with your Services are included.  You will not have a separate line-item identifying the Taxes and Surcharges collected for your Services, and we make no assurances that amounts we collect from you for the Services include Taxes or Surcharges, unless such items are specifically line-itemed.  Instead, we defer to the advice of our tax accountants and regulatory attorneys to determine if any Taxes and Surcharges need to be collected and paid based on your jurisdiction.   In any event you will not receive a refund for amounts collected to the extent such amounts include Taxes and Surcharges, and by using the Services you agree that you waive and release the Company from any refund relating to Taxes and Surcharges.

The VN Service also will offer Voicemail.  Once available, you will be able to enroll in Voicemail and such service will be subject to these Terms of Service.

Any Virtual Number assigned to you is owned by QuickCall and, as an express condition to your use of the VN Service, you hereby agree not to claim, and expressively waive, any right, title or interest in the Virtual Number. You acknowledge and agree that you do not have any rights to transfer the Virtual Number or to use the Virtual Number separate and apart from the VN  Service.

Limitations on Use: You acknowledge and agree that: 1. The VN Services is not a replacement for any phone lines, whether wired, wireless or Internet based. 2. You will use the VN Service with your true identity, and in compliance with all applicable laws. 3. You will not send, cause to be sent or facilitate, spam using the VN Service. 4. If your Virtual Number remains inactive for thirty (30) days or more, we have the right to reclaim the Virtual Number that were assigned to you, without refunding any fee you paid in connection to the Virtual Number.

The VN Service is only available in the United States, and even though the application may be downloaded anywhere in the world, you are only authorized to use the VN Service in the United States.  The VN Service will operate over 3G and 4G networks, and you agree that your carrier rates will apply.  You may also use the VN Services over WiFi.

Any data collected by QuickCall relative to the VN Service, including call data and Voicemail data, will be stored in the United States or a cloud based server located anywhere in the world.

11. Phone numbers provided by QuickCall

QuickCall may, as part of the setup of the Services, pair you with one or more “access number” phone numbers. These access phone numbers may be shared by multiple QuickCall users. You expressly acknowledge and agree that this pairing of access phone numbers with you shall not constitute a transfer of property or sale of numbering rights by QuickCall to you. As a result, you will not be entitled to claim any such rights to these phone numbers. This means, without limitation, that you may not port-out any such phone number to any third party or otherwise away from QuickCall.

If you connect to/use the Services through an access phone number provided by QuickCall while you are in a country that is not the country associated with your fixed net or mobile phone operator or other Provider (in other words; out-of-country usage) this usage may lead to significantly higher costs in relation to your Providers than regular usage.

Express consent may be taken to be given by you where you provide: (a) written consent; (b) oral confirmation by an independent third party; (c) electronic confirmation through the use of a toll-free number; or (d) consent through other methods as long as an objective documented record of your consent is created by you or an independent third party.
