You shall not: (a) copy or adapt the Software or the Services for any purpose, except as specifically permitted under this Agreement; (b) use the Software or Services except in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, and except as set forth in the Documentation; (c) reverse engineer, translate, decompile, or disassemble the Software or Services; (d) use the Software or Services in any outsourcing, application service provider, time-sharing or service bureau arrangement, including, without limitation, any use to provide services or process data for the benefit of, or on behalf of, any third party other than the Customer; or (e) cause or permit the disabling or circumvention of any security mechanism contained in or associated with the Software or Services.
  2. User Responsibility. You agree that you are responsible for all use(s) related to your account.

You acknowledge that Purple Phone will be sending you information, including your Password, via e-mail over the Internet. You agree that the Internet is not a secure network and that third parties may be able to intercept, access, use or corrupt the information and telephone calls you transmit over the Internet. In order to maintain the security of your Service, you should safeguard your User IDs and Passwords, as well as the media access control (MAC) address of the Adapter. The MAC address is one of the pieces of information used by Purple Phone to authenticate customer calls and should not be shared.
  3. Use of Service and Device by Customers Outside the United States. While Purple Phone encourages use of the Service within the United States to other countries, Purple Phone does not presently offer or support the Service to customers located in any countries other than the United States. Purple Phone’s Services are only for use by persons or entities whose primary residence or business address is in the United States. Purple Phone’s Services are designed to work generally with unencumbered high-speed internet connections. However, if the high- speed internet connection you are using is outside the United States and/or your ISP places restrictions on the usage of VoIP services, Purple Phone does not represent or warrant that use of the Service by you is permitted by any other jurisdictions or by any or all the ISPs. If you remove the Device to a country other than the United States or use the Service from there, you do so at its own risk, including the risk that such activity violates local laws in the country where you do so. You will be solely responsible for any violations of local laws and regulations or violations of ISP terms of service resulting from such use. You also agree to indemnify us for any claims, damages or expenses resulting from your use of the Services outside of the United States. Purple Phone reserves the right to disconnect Services immediately if Purple Phone determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that you have used the Service or the Device in violation of applicable laws, including without limitation laws of jurisdictions outside the United States. You are solely liable for any and all use of the Service and/or Device by any person making use of the Service or Device provided to you.
  4. Account Ownership. The owner of the account under which the Services are ordered shall be the legal entity (e.g., corporation, partnership, individual) that signs up for the Services with Purple Phone. If no legal entity is provided upon sign-up, the account owner shall be the owner of the credit card used to open such account, if applicable. Subsequent changes to ownership must be supported by appropriate legal documentation. Purple Phone shall not adjudicate ownership-related disputes, or any other internal business dispute. If Purple Phone is unable to determine the valid owner of the account, Purple Phone reserves the right to suspend or terminate the account and Services.

6. LOCAL NUMBER PORTABILITY.

In the event you are transferring an existing phone number that currently is subscribed to another carrier, the following terms and conditions apply:

  1. Authorization. You hereby authorize Purple Phone to process your order for the Service and to notify your local service provider of your decision to switch your local services to Purple Phone and to transfer your telephone number, and represent that you are authorized to take these actions. You may be required to complete a letter of authorization, provide us with a copy of your most recent bill from your service provider, as well as provide us with any other information required by your service provider to port your number. Failure to provide any information requested by Purple Phone or the third party services provider will delay the porting of the number to Purple Phone. You acknowledge that the porting of your numbers is dependent upon the cooperation of you and third parties not under the control of Purple Phone. Purple Phone shall not be responsible for any delay in the port of your number and will not provide credit for any such delays.
  2. Activation. You agree and acknowledge that you must install and activate your Device prior to the date that the number switch becomes effective. You will be assigned a temporary telephone number until your transfer is completed. You may place and receive calls using this temporary number until such time as your phone number is transferred.
  3. Limitation. Purple Phone has the right to refuse to import a number if, in its sole discretion, it does not have the infrastructure to support the number.
  4. Unauthorized Port Outs. You acknowledge and agree that telephone or facsimile numbers may be ported out from your Services or your account due to acts or omissions of third parties, and it may be difficult or impossible for Purple Phone to: (i) prevent such port- outs: (ii) retrieve numbers ported-out of your account; or (iii) port such numbers back into your account. Purple Phone has no responsibility or liability due to such port- outs.

7. SERVICE DISTINCTIONS.

You acknowledge and understand that the Service is not a telephone service, and we provide it on a best efforts basis. Important distinctions exist between telephone service and the enhanced Service offering provided by Purple Phone. The Service is subject to different regulatory treatment than telephone. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before Federal and State telecommunications regulatory agencies or judicial forums. Events beyond our control may affect our service, such as power outages, fluctuations in the internet, your underlying ISP or broadband service, or maintenance. We will act in good faith to minimize disruptions to your use of and access to our service.

  1. EMERGENCY SERVICES – 911 DIALING. You acknowledge and understand that Purple Phone 911 dialing is different than traditional 911 service. See complete 911 disclosure posted on our Web site at https://www.purple-phone.com/legal.html
    1. You must provide us with a valid address that is compatible with our e911 system. If you are unable to provide a valid address, or we are unable to confirm that the address provided is a valid address in our e911 system, then we won’t be able to provide you with service and we reserve the right to terminate your account.
    2. No 0+ or Operator Assisted Calling; May Not Support X11 Calling. You acknowledge and understand that the Service does not support 0+ or operator assisted calling, including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls, 900, calling card calls or dial- around calls. Our Service may not support 311, 511, and other x11 services in one or more service areas.

    4. Incompatibility with Other Services.
      1. Non-Voice Equipment Limitations. You acknowledge and understand that the Service is not compatible with all non-voice communications equipment, including but not limited to, some home and office security systems that are set up to make automatic phone calls, emergency phones in elevators, some aspects of satellite TV systems, digital entertainment systems, fax machines, modems and medical monitoring devices. By accepting this Agreement, you waive any claim you may have against Purple Phone for interference with or disruption of such systems due to the Service.
      2. Certain Broadband, Cable Modem, and Other Services. There may also be other services with which our Service may be incompatible. Some providers of broadband service may provide modems that prevent the transmission of communications using the Service. We do not warrant that the Service will be compatible with all broadband services and expressly disclaim any express or implied warranties regarding the compatibility of the Service with any particular broadband service.
    5. Use Outside of the United States. As previously noted there are limitations with the Service’s access to 911. Purple Phone’s Service does not provide access to emergency services in any country outside of the United States. Purple Phone disclaims any obligation to provide you with access to emergency services in any jurisdiction other than the United States.

8. LENGTH OF SERVICE.

  1. Service Term. We provide the Service for the term that you have signed up for. Your term begins on the date you first ordered service (the “Subscription Date”).

You must advise us at once if your payment method expires, you close your account, your billing address changes, your email address changes, or your payment method is cancelled and replaced on account of loss or theft.

Purple Phone’s acceptance of late or partial payments (regardless of how they are marked or designated (including without limitation as ‘Paid in Full’, ‘Accord and Satisfaction’, or similarly)) will not waive, limit, or prejudice in any way Purple Phone’s rights to collect any amount due. Purple Phone may terminate the Services and this Agreement for non-payment if any fees or charges are not paid within thirty (30) days of the due date.

You also agree to indemnify us for any claims, damages or expenses resulting from providing a debit card instead of a credit card (if applicable).

  3. Discontinuation of Service for Nonpayment. The Service to you may be denied or discontinued without notice at any time in the event you fail to make payment, your credit card provider denies or discontinues providing credit to you for any reason, or you fail to provide us with a new credit card expiration date before the existing one expires. If your payment method fails for any reason during the ordering process, or any regular or monthly billing process, you will have 24 hours to provide Purple Phone your payment method, including credit card information if applicable. If the payment method is not resolved within 48 hours, Purple Phone may deactivate the Service at its sole discretion. If your new payment method is approved within 24 hours, your calling plan and billing cycle will remain unchanged. We reserve the right to modify the per minute calling plan at any time.

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND BINDING ARBITRATION.

  1. It is important that you read this entire section carefully. This section provides for resolution of disputes through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury.
  2. Arbitration. Purple Phone and you agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims between you and Purple Phone except with respect to claims for amounts owed for services rendered. Arbitration means that all disputes and claims will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of by a judge or jury in a court. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be given the broadest possible meaning under the law. It includes, but is not limited to: disputes and claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and Purple Phone, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; disputes and claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); disputes and claims that may arise after the termination of this agreement; disputes and claims that are currently the subject of individual litigation; disputes and claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and disputes and claims concerning the scope of this arbitration provision.

Customer care shall be provided with 14 days in which to research and respond to your claim. In the event your dispute or claim is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may seek to have that dispute or claim resolved as set forth below.

Formal Notice of Disputes A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other party a written “Notice of Dispute” setting forth in detail, including submission of supporting documentation, the grounds of your dispute. The Notice of Dispute to Purple Phone must be sent to Purple Phone, attention “General Counsel,” by certified mail addressed to 620 Lafayette Ave. Buffalo, NY 14222.

You and Purple Phone agree that you and Purple Phone may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You and Purple Phone agree that, unless you and Purple Phone agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s or entity’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific waiver of class actions provision, or any portion thereof, is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this dispute resolution and binding arbitration provision shall be null and void.
  7. Statute of Limitations. You must present a claim within one (1) year of the date of the occurrence of the event or facts giving rise to a dispute (except for billing disputes which are subject to section 10 and 11 of the agreement), or you waive the right to pursue a claim based upon such event, facts, or dispute.
  8. Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the obligation to arbitrate and any other provisions to the contrary herein, you and we agree that with respect to claims for unpaid invoices: (a) we may take our dispute to small claims court, if the contained dispute qualifies for hearing by such court; (b) if you fail to timely pay amounts due, we may assign your account for collection, and the collection agency may pursue in court claims limited strictly to the collection of the past due debt and any interest or cost of collection permitted by law or the Agreement; (c) you or we may take any disputes over the validity of any party’s intellectual property rights to a court of competent jurisdiction; (d) any dispute related to or arising from allegations associated with fraudulent or unauthorized use, theft, or piracy of service may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction; and (e) either you or we may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, necessary to protect the rights or property of you or Purple Phone, pending the completion of arbitration.
  9. Modification of Arbitration. If Purple Phone makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject any such change and require Purple Phone to adhere to the language in this provision.

All Orders are subject to acceptance by Purple Phone in its discretion. All purchases are final, with no right to a refund, except as expressly provided under Sections 7.3 (Termination for Cause).

Except for usage-based charges, Purple Phone will bill in advance to Customer’s payment method all charges, fees, taxes, and surcharges for each service term. Fees may also include activation fees, porting fees, early termination fees (“ETF”), reinstatement fees, and returned check fees. Purple Phone reserves the right to charge all fees to Customer’s payment method.

Any payment not made when due may be subject to a late payment fee equivalent to the lesser of (a) one and a half percent (1.5%) per month; or (b) the highest rate allowed by law. Purple Phone’s acceptance of late or partial payments (regardless of how they are marked or designated (including without limitation as ‘Paid in Full’, ‘Accord and Satisfaction’, or similarly)) will not waive, limit, or prejudice in any way Purple Phone’s rights to collect any amount due. Purple Phone may terminate the Services and this Agreement for non-payment if any fees or charges are not paid within thirty (30) days of the due date.

  3. COLLECTION. If Purple Phone disconnects the Services, Customer will remain liable for all charges under this Agreement and all the costs incurred by Purple Phone to collect these charges, including, without limitation, collection costs and attorney’s fees. Customer also agrees to pay any additional charges or fees applied to their billing account for any reason, including but not limited to, interest and charges due to insufficient credit.

Customer also agrees to indemnify Purple Phone for any claims, damages or expenses resulting from providing a debit card instead of a credit card (if applicable).

The Services provided to Customer may be denied or discontinued without notice at any time if Customer fails to make a payment, Customer’s credit card provider denies or discontinues providing credit to Customer for any reason, or Customer fails to provide Purple Phone with a new credit card expiration date before the existing one expires. If Customer’s payment method fails for any reason during the ordering process, or any regular or monthly billing process, Customer will have twenty-four (24) hours to provide Purple Phone their payment method including credit card information, if applicable.
