Fees, Taxes, and Payment Terms
1. Our fees and your Rate Card.

You agree to pay the fees for using the Services that are set forth in your then-current rate card (your “Rate Card”). Unless we agree in writing otherwise or we post different rates within your Account from time to time, your Rate Card will be our then-current standard fee schedule found at [link]. You agree that we may change the fees on your Rate Card in our discretion from time to time and that your continued use of the Services after a change in fees becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed fees. All fees for the Services are stated and payable in United States Dollars.

1. Discretionary free use of the Services.

We may, at our sole option, as an introduction to the Services or otherwise, credit your Account for an amount determined by us to enable you to use the Services without cost to you up to such credited amount. If at any time your Account does not have a sufficient credit balance, you will no longer be able to use the Trial Services.

1. Taxes.

Except as otherwise stated in your Rate Card, all fees are exclusive of all taxes and other similar charges (“Taxes”). To be clear, the term “Taxes” includes sales tax, use tax, value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), and all other taxes (excluding any tax that is based on our income) or other charge of any kind or nature that is levied or imposed by any governmental authority or regulatory body in connection with the Services or these Terms of Service. You will be solely responsible for, and will pay on demand, all Taxes. We may calculate Taxes based on the Account Data you provide.

1. Your Pre-Pay Account and types of pre-payments.

Unless we configure your Account to operate on a post-pay basis (a “Post-Pay Account”), your Account will operate on a pre-pay basis (a “Pre-Pay Account”) and you must pre-pay for all fees in advance. You may configure your Pre-Pay Account in order to pre-pay fees in fixed amounts either, as elected by you, (a) on a one-time, manual basis (a “One-Time Payment”) from time to time, or (b) automatically (an “Auto-Reload Payment”) on a recurring schedule (for example, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly) or upon your Account’s credit balance decreasing to an established threshold.

1. How your Pre-Pay Account balances are calculated.

We will credit your Pre-Pay Account balance for any One-Time Payments and any Auto-Reload Payments we receive. We will deduct from (charge) your Pre-Pay Account balance (a) the applicable fees in your Rate Card as you use the Services, (b) all associated Taxes, (c) any other amounts for which you are responsible under these Terms, and (d) any amounts previously credited to your Pre-Pay Account balance, but which were later dishonored, refused, disputed, or charged-back by the issuer of the Credit Card as well as any associated costs and fees. We will make a record of such deductions/payments available to you within the Services. If at any time your Pre-Pay Account does not have a sufficient credit balance, you will not be able to access or use the Services until you pre-pay additional amounts as necessary. If for any reason your Pre-Pay Account balance is negative, then such negative amount will be immediately due and you will promptly initiate a sufficient One-Time Payment (a “Deficit Balance Amount”) to cover such deficit and hereby authorize us to charge your Credit Card for such One-Time Payment in the amount of the Deficit Balance Amount whether or not you have configured such payment in your Account.

1. You must pay via Credit Card using our outside Payment Processor.

All fees must be paid by credit card. We may use a Third Party payment processor (“Payment Processor”) to facilitate your payments. Your payments that the Payment Processor processes will be subject to that Payment Processor’s then-current terms and conditions which are in addition to these Terms. We are not responsible for any acts or omissions of the Payment Processor.

1. Credit Card Information requirements.

You agree to provide within your Account all true, accurate, current, and complete information (your “Credit Card Information”) related to a valid credit card owned by you (the “Credit Card”) necessary for us or the Payment Processor to charge and collect amounts against such Credit Card as set forth in these Terms. All Credit Card Information is also “Account Data”. You further agree to update your Credit Card Information within your Account immediately from time to time throughout the Terms Period in the event of any changes. You acknowledge that we and the Payment Processor will act based on the prior Credit Card Information until the updated Credit Card Information becomes effective, which may take an additional amount of time after you input the updated information in your Account. You authorize us to transmit your Credit Card Information to the Payment Processor, which may store such information in order to facilitate payments. You agree that you are solely responsible for any and all fees charged to you by the issuer of the Credit Card including membership and over-the-credit-limit fees.

1. YOUR CONTINUING AUTHORIZATION TO CHARGE YOUR CREDIT CARD.

You hereby authorize us and the Payment Processor to so charge your Credit Card during the Terms Period for all One-Time Payments (including any Deficit Balance Amounts) and all Auto-Reload Payments from time to time (collectively these are all “Chargeable Amounts”). If you configure your Account for Auto-Reload Payments, you agree that we or the Payment Processor will continue to charge your Credit Card for such amounts until you cancel such Auto-Reload Payments within your Account. Such cancelation will not affect Auto-Reload Payment charges submitted before we or the Payment Processor could reasonably act. Further, you authorize the issuer of the Credit Card to accept and process such Chargeable Amounts against your Credit Card. You agree that sufficient credit amounts representing the total Chargeable Amounts must be available on your Credit Card on the day the respective charge is initiated. If sufficient credit is not available upon presentation of such charge, then you will be in default under these Terms and we may take such action to collect amounts due as we deem appropriate and consistent with these Terms including resubmitting the charges to the Credit Card. Without limiting the foregoing, at any time or from time to time, you agree to cooperate with us and the Payment Processor to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as we or the Payment Processor may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the payment of the Chargeable Amounts. Your authorization will remain in full force and effect throughout these Term.

1. Your payment terms for a Post-Pay Account.

You will only able to obtain a Post-Pay Account if we execute a separate written agreement with you authorizing such Post-Pay Account. The terms of invoicing and payment and will be set forth in such separate agreement.

  2. All charges for the Services will be calculated by reference to data recorded by us.
  3. Any filtered or blocked Content will be subject to applicable fees.
  4. You may not offset any amounts against amounts payable to us for any reason.
  5. You may not withhold or deduct any amounts, including Taxes, from any amounts payable to us unless you are legally required to do so. If you are legally required to do so, then you will pay to us such amounts as are necessary to make the net amounts remaining after any required withholding or deduction equal to the stated amounts payable on the invoice.
  6. Our acceptance of any partial payment of an invoice will not waive our right to claim any further payment for that portion of the invoice not paid by you.
  7. Any amounts not paid when due may, at our discretion, bear simple interest computed on a daily basis for each day that the payment is delinquent, at the lesser of (a) one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law.
  8. You will pay all costs of collection (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) and related bank charges.
  9. You will be charged for all messages as follows: (a) for each mobile terminated message upon submission of the message to the Services; and (b) for each mobile originated message, upon receipt of the message by the Services.
  10. Any messages consisting of more than applicable maximum number of characters will be automatically split and concatenated by the Services and we will charge you for each resulting part as a separate message.
2. We do not provide refunds.

All amounts paid to us (including any Chargeable Amounts) are non-refundable, even if unused at the time of termination of these Terms. Any fees for Services that are charged based on a period of time (for example, monthly rental of a telephone number) will be charged (including by debiting your pre-paid Account balance) initially on a prorated basis for the first applicable billing period and thereafter for the full billing period without proration if the applicable Services are active at any time during such billing period.

1. Here is how you can dispute your charges.

You may dispute any amount for which we charge you (including by debiting your Pre-Pay Account balance) only by sending a notice with reasonable detail supporting your dispute to us at support@karix.io within thirty (30) days after the date we charged your Account for the disputed amount. If you do not dispute amounts as required above, then you agree that you have accepted those amounts as valid and waive any further right to dispute those amounts. We and you will work in good faith to resolve the dispute promptly. If we and you cannot resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after the date of your notice, then the matter may be presented by either you or us each for arbitration pursuant to Section 15.2. While any amount is in dispute, it will remain chargeable (including by debiting your Pre-Pay Account balance) or payable until we and you agree, or the arbitration process concludes, otherwise.

Confidentiality
1. What information is protected as Confidential Information?

“Confidential Information” refers to all information and data, whether tangible, oral or otherwise, that either you or we (“Discloser”) discloses to the other party (“Recipient”) that is either (a) labeled or designated as proprietary or confidential or (b) by the nature of the information or data or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure, should reasonably be understood to be proprietary and confidential. Our Confidential Information includes the Documentation, all technology incorporated into, and used by, the Services, and the non-public features of the Services. As between the Discloser and the Recipient, the Discloser exclusively owns and retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Discloser’s Confidential Information.

1. What information is not protected as Confidential Information?

Even if some information and data otherwise meets the above definition of Confidential Information, it will nevertheless be excluded from the definition of “Confidential Information” if such information or data: (a) was known by the Recipient without any obligation of confidentiality prior to disclosure by the Discloser; (b) is publicly available through no fault of the Recipient; (c) is disclosed to the Recipient by a Third Party legally entitled to make such disclosure without violation of any obligation of confidentiality; or (d) is independently developed by the Recipient without reference to any Confidential Information of the Discloser.

1. Restrictions on use and disclosure of Confidential Information

Except as otherwise permitted under these Terms of Service or to perform the activities contemplated by these Terms, the Recipient agrees not to use Confidential Information for any purpose and not to disclose Confidential Information to any Third Party. We may use and disclose to Third Parties your Confidential Information in connection with providing the Services.

The Recipient also agrees: (a) to take all reasonable steps necessary to protect the Confidential Information (at least as stringently as it takes to protect its own Confidential Information) from unauthorized use and disclosure; (b) to notify the Discloser promptly in the event the Recipient learns of any unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Information and to cooperate to remedy such occurrence to the extent reasonably possible; (c) upon Discloser’s request or upon termination of these Terms, the Recipient will promptly either return all copies of the Discloser’s Confidential Information to the Discloser or certify, in writing, that the Recipient has destroyed all copies of the Discloser’s Confidential Information; and (d) that its obligations under this Section 11 will survive the termination of these Terms for the maximum period allowed by Law.

Nevertheless, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information:

1. 1. To its Representatives who are bound in writing to treat such Confidential Information in accordance with these Terms and who have a “need to know” such Confidential Information in order to carry out the Recipient’s obligations under these Terms. The Recipient will be liable to the Discloser in connection with any failure of the Recipient’s Representatives to comply with the terms and conditions of this Section 11.
  2. As required by applicable Law or as required or requested in connection with any legal proceeding or by any legal or governmental authority, so long as the Recipient, if legally permitted, first gives the Discloser prompt notice of such requirement or request.
  3. If the Discloser so consents to in writing.
2. The Discloser may seek injunctive relief.

The Recipient agrees that any threatened or actual breach of this Section 11 may cause the Discloser irreparable harm for which money damages alone may not be a sufficient remedy. As a result, the Recipient agrees that in the event of any threatened or actual breach of this Section 11 by the Recipient, the Discloser will be entitled to seek injunctive relief or other similar remedy, in addition to any other remedies available, from a court of competent jurisdiction without having to prove actual damage or having to post a bond or other security.

1. Dispute resolution process including AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.

From time to time either you or we may have a dispute with, or claim against, the other party (a “Dispute”). Except for Disputes described in Section 15.3 and Section 15.4, you and we each will seek to resolve all other Disputes only as follows:

1. 1. Either you or we may give notice of a Dispute to the other party. You and we each will promptly seek to resolve such Dispute through consultation and negotiation in good faith, including escalation to appropriate management personnel.

If the Dispute is not resolved through consultation and negotiation within thirty (30) days from the date the notice is delivered, then either (a) you and we both may continue the consultation and negotiation process until an agreed resolution, or (b) any time thereafter either you or we may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration as described in Section 15.2.4 and notify the other party of the submission to arbitration.

1. 1. You must send notice of any arbitration to us at c/o Capitol Services, Inc., 1675 South State Street, Suite B, Dover, Delaware 19901 USA.

Any materials submitted in connection with arbitration proceedings will not be admissible in any other proceeding, provided, however, that this confidentiality provision will not prevent a petition to vacate or enforce an arbitral award, and will not bar disclosures strictly required by Law.
  8. The decisions, findings, and awards by the Arbitrator will be final and binding upon you and us. However, either you or we may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to vacate the Arbitrator’s award or decision on the grounds of the Arbitrator’s failure to abide by the provisions of these Terms.
  9. Judgment on any finding or any award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. These Terms are subject to the operation of the 1958 United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.
