SERVICE
Term
Service is offered on a prepaid basis for REDFON accounts and any balance remaining on such accounts will expire 270 days from the date of purchase of your account or your last recharge of such account, whichever is later. Due to our verification process, all funds may not be available for immediate use.
Consumer
If you have subscribed to one of REDFON's consumer services, 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 REDFON 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 REDFON'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. REDFON reserves the right to immediately terminate or modify the Service, if REDFON determines, in its sole discretion, that your Service is being used for non-residential or commercial use.
Business
If you have subscribed to REDFON'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 REDFON in advance. You agree that the REDFON'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. REDFON reserves the right to immediately terminate or modify the Service, if REDFON determines, in its sole discretion, that your Service is being used for any of the aforementioned activities.
PAYMENT
REDFON charges you in advance for every Service. Your initial use of the Recurring Service authorizes REDFON to charge the credit card account number on file with REDFON, including any changed information given REDFON if the card expires or is replaced, for REDFON charges that accrue during the billing cycle. This authorization will remain valid until 30 days after REDFON receives your written notice terminating REDFON'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. REDFON may terminate your Service at any time in its sole discretion, if any charge to your credit card on file with REDFON 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 REDFON for ALL
CHARGES ACCRUED BEFORE TERMINATION and for charges incurred by REDFON 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 REDFON 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 REDFON 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 REDFON account may not be
available for immediate use due to our verification process. REDFON 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 REDFON suspects fraudulent use of your REDFON debit account, it may suspend or terminate your REDFON debit account without notice.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account number and/or PIN. You are responsible for all uses of your account, whether or not actually or expressly authorized by you. You agree to notify REDFON immediately, in writing or by calling the REDFON support line, if you become aware at any time that your Service is being stolen or fraudulently used.
REDFON 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 REDFON pay services, including but not limited to the use or misuse by an unauthorized third party, or any error, accidental use or loss. REDFON 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. REDFON 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.
