Each Order Form shall govern and control in case of conflict with the Agreement, and in conjunction with this Agreement shall form a separate agreement between the parties that execute the applicable Order Form. Please read this Agreement carefully before executing an Order Form or installing, accessing, or otherwise using the Services.

We may alter, expand, or reduce the features of the Services from time to time without notice to you. Client agrees to provide information reasonably required by Provider to perform Services, including as applicable, but not limited to: hiring profiles; scripts; message content, recipient contacting information and lists, program content and materials; Client or third party databases; forecasts; current process performance statistics; Client or third party software, hardware, systems, routing and network addresses and configurations; and key contacts for problem escalation (collectively the “Client Materials”). You agree that our obligation to provide Services is conditioned upon you providing all information and assistance reasonably required to perform the Services and your compliance with standards set forth by Provider regarding hardware compatibility and installation requirements and you hereby agree to timely provide all such information, assistance and compliance.

  1. Term.

This Agreement will continue so long as the Services are installed, accessed, or otherwise used. Each Order Form may specify its duration (each an “Order Form Term”) and/or each Order Form may further specify one or more subscriptions purchased under the Order Form (each a “Subscription”). Each Subscription will specify its duration (each a “Subscription Term”). All Subscriptions begin as set forth in the Order Form or if not addressed therein, the earlier of: (a) thirty (30) days from provisioning of Client’s system access; or (b) go live of the applicable Subscription Service. For the avoidance of doubt, Client agrees to pre-pay for all usage of Services prior to the start of the Subscription.

  1. Renewal.

All Order Forms and Subscriptions shall automatically renew for yearly periods unless either party terminates the specific Order Form or Subscription in writing ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the applicable Order Form or Subscription, which termination will be effective at the expiration of the applicable Order Form or Subscription.

  1. Termination of Order Form or Subscription for Cause.

Any Order Form or Subscription may be terminated immediately by the non breaching party upon a material breach by the other party of a material provision of this Agreement, the relevant Order Form or the relevant Subscription, and such breach is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice if the breach is a payment breach or sixty (60) days after written notice for any other material breach.

  1. Effect of Termination.

The termination of any Order Form or any Subscription shall not otherwise affect the Term of this Agreement or any other Order Form or Subscription. If you terminate any Order Form or Subscription for cause: (a) you will pay for all Services rendered up to the date of termination; (b) Provider will reimburse you for any amounts prepaid by you for Services not rendered; and (c) you shall be relieved of any future payments due under such Order Form or Subscription.

Any use of the Services after termination of any Order Form or Subscription (for cause, upon expiration or otherwise) may be billed at increased non-contracted rates, at Provider’s sole discretion. The parties agree and acknowledge that Provider has made pricing concessions based on the provisions agreed to herein and that any shortfall payments due are a fair approximation of the damages that would be caused to Provider and do not constitute a penalty.

  1. Unlimited Plans

An unlimited plan allows for a practice to send an unlimited number of patient communications using SMS, voice and email over the length of their contract. The unlimited plan has a base rate and a charge for every provider added above the base rate. There is also an additional charge for each location associated with a group. Client pays a fixed amount per month for our services based upon the contracted number of providers and locations.

  1. Definition of Provider

Unless otherwise agreed to on an order form, a provider is considered any individual who has patient notifications sent using Televox services. For clarity, this definition is not limited to doctors, but would include (not limited to) mid-levels such as physician assistants, nurse practitioners, hygienists, radiology technicians, physical therapists.

  1. Right to Audit

Provider reserves the right to periodically review usage of a given unlimited account to verify that the amounts paid are in agreement with these definitions.

Such an adjustment could be made at any time without notice.

  1. Review of Unlimited Usage; Excessive Use.

Provider reserves the right to review usage of unlimited usage plans to ensure that clients are not abusing such plans. Client agrees to use unlimited plans for normal message related communications with aggregate usage that falls within the range of similarly situated business customers. In addition, Client agrees that Client will not employ methods or use devices to take advantage of unlimited plans by using the Services excessively or for means not intended by Provider. Provider may terminate service immediately if it determines, in its sole discretion, Client is abusing an unlimited plan. Provider deems usage that substantially exceeds the average volume of its other unlimited usage plan clients as abusive. If, in Provider’s sole discretion, Provider affords Client the opportunity to correct Client’s abnormal or excessive usage patterns and Client fails to immediately conform to normal use, Provider may exercise its right to (i) modify Client’s plan; (ii) increase Client’s pricing; (iii) implement other limitations or (iv) suspend or terminate Client’s service with or without notice.
