Required Contact Information, Billing Information, and Optional Information are referred to collectively as "Data About iPERFEX Customers."
As you navigate the Company's Web sites, iPERFEX may also collect information through the use of commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons ("Web Site Navigational Information"). Web Site Navigational Information includes standard information from your Web browser (such as browser type and browser language), your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, and the actions you take on the Company's Web sites (such as the Web pages viewed and the links clicked).
3. Use of Information Collected
The Company uses Data About iPERFEX Customers to perform the services requested. For example, if you fill out a "Contact Me" Web form, the Company will use the information provided to contact you about your interest in the Service.

4. Web Site Navigational Information
iPERFEX uses commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons, to collect information as you navigate the Company's Web sites ("Web Site Navigational Information") . This section describes the types of Web Site Navigational Information the Company may collect and how the Company may use this information.
Cookies
iPERFEX uses cookies to make interactions with the Company's Web sites easy and meaningful. When you visit one of the Company's Web sites, iPERFEX's servers send a cookie to your computer. Standing alone, cookies do not personally identify you. They merely recognize your Web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to iPERFEX, either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or filling out a Web form (such as a "Contact Me" or a "30 Day Free Trial" Web form), you remain anonymous to the Company.
There are two types of cookies: session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser or turn off your computer.
If you have chosen to identify yourself to iPERFEX, the Company uses session cookies containing encrypted information to allow the Company to uniquely identify you. Each time you log into the Service, a session cookie containing an encrypted, unique identifier that is tied to your account is placed your browser. These session cookies allow the Company to uniquely identify you when you are logged into the Service and to process your online transactions and requests. Session cookies are required to use the Service.
iPERFEX uses persistent cookies that only the Company can read and use to identify browsers that have previously visited the Company's Web sites. When you purchase the Service or provide the Company with personal information, a unique identifier is assigned you. This unique identifier is associated with a persistent cookie that the Company places on your Web browser. The Company is especially careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies. For example, the Company does not store account numbers or passwords in persistent cookies. If you disable your Web browser's ability to accept cookies, you will be able to navigate the Company's Web sites, but you will not be able to successfully use the Service.
iPERFEX may use information from session and persistent cookies in combination with Data About iPERFEX Customers to provide you with information about the Company and the Service.
Web Beacons
iPERFEX uses Web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about Customers and Visitors' usage of the Company's Web sites and interaction with emails from the Company. Web beacons are clear electronic images that can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as cookies, when you viewed a particular Web site tied to the Web beacon, and a description of a Web site tied to the Web beacon. For example, iPERFEX may place Web beacons in marketing emails that notify the Company when you click on a link in the email that directs you to one of the Company's Web sites. iPERFEX uses Web beacons to operate and improve the Company's Web sites and email communications. iPERFEX may use information from Web beacons in combination with Data About iPERFEX Customers to provide you with information about the Company and the Service.
IP Addresses
When you visit iPERFEX's Web sites, the Company collects your Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses to track and aggregate non-personally identifiable information. For example, iPERFEX uses IP addresses to monitor the regions from which Customers and Visitors navigate the Company's Web sites.

Third Party Cookies
From time-to-time, iPERFEX engages third parties to track and analyze non-personally identifiable usage and volume statistical information from individuals who visit the Company's Web sites. iPERFEX may also use other third-party cookies to track the performance of Company advertisements. The information provided to third parties does not include personal information, but this information may be re-associated with personal information after the Company receives it. This Privacy Statement does not cover the use of third party cookies.
5. Public Forums, Refer a Friend, and Customer Testimonials
iPERFEX may provide bulletin boards, blogs, or chat rooms on the Company's Web sites. Any personally identifiable information you choose to submit in such a forum may be read, collected, or used by others who visit these forums, and may be used to send you unsolicited messages. iPERFEX is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums.
Customers and Visitors may elect to use the Company's referral service to inform friends about the Company's Web sites. When using the referral service, the Company requests the friend's name and email address. iPERFEX will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the Company's Web sites. iPERFEX does not store this information.
iPERFEX posts a list of Customers and testimonials on the Company's Web sites that contain information such as Customer names and titles. iPERFEX obtains the consent of each Customer prior to posting any information on such a list or posting testimonials.
6. Sharing of Information Collected
iPERFEX may share Data About iPERFEX Customers with the Company's agents so that these agents can contact Customers and Visitors who have provided contact information on our behalf. iPERFEX may also share Data About iPERFEX Customers with the Company's agents to ensure the quality of information provided. iPERFEX does not share, sell, rent, or trade personally identifiable information with third parties for their promotional purposes.
iPERFEX uses a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing. This intermediary is not permitted to store, retain, or use Billing Information except for the sole purpose of credit card processing on the Company's behalf.
iPERFEX reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable information of the Company's Customers or Visitors if required by law or if the Company reasonably believes that disclosure is necessary to protect the Company's rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.

9. Customer Data
iPERFEX Customers use the Service to host data and information ("Customer Data"). iPERFEX will not review, share, distribute, or reference any such Customer Data except as may be required by law. Individual records of Customer Data may be viewed or accessed only for the purpose of resolving a problem, support issues, or suspected violation of the iPERFEX Terms of Service, or as may be required by law. Customers are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of their iPERFEX usernames and passwords.
10. Security
iPERFEX uses robust security measures to protect Customer Data from unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and help ensure the appropriate use of Customer Data. When the Service is accessed using Internet Explorer version 9.0 or later, Firefox version 2.0 or later, or Safari version 3.0 or later, Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") technology protects Customer Data using both server authentication and data encryption. These technologies help ensure that Customer Data is safe, secure, and only available to the Customer to whom the information belongs and those to whom the Customer has granted access. iPERFEX also implements an advanced security method based on dynamic data and encoded session identifications, and the Company hosts its Web sites in a secure server environment that uses firewalls and other advanced technology to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. iPERFEX also offers enhanced security features within the Service that permit Customers to configure security settings to the level they deem necessary.
Because the Company uses the Service to maintain Data About iPERFEX Customers, this information is secured in the same manner as described above for Customer Data.
11. Changes to this Privacy Statement
iPERFEX reserves the right to change this Privacy Statement. iPERFEX will provide notification of the material changes to this Privacy Statement through the Company's Web sites at least thirty (30) business days prior to the change taking effect.

TERMS OF SERVICE
1. Overview
Welcome to the family of sites provided by iPERFEX Inc. (ìiPERFEXî). This agreement applies to all of the websites on which it is posted including iPERFEX.com (collectively ìiPERFEX Sitesî). Use and access to the iPERFEX Sites (including any rebranded or white label version of the iPERFEX Sites), and the text message, hosted telemarketing, and voice broadcast services described below (the ìServicesî), are subject to these terms and conditions of use (the ìTermsî) as well as our Privacy Policy located at http://www.iPERFEX.com/legal/privacy.
We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time. Any updates to these Terms shall be posted on this website. You acknowledge your responsibility to review these Terms from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By continuing to use any of the iPERFEX Sites or Services after we post any such changes, you accept these Terms, as modified.
By accessing one of the iPERFEX Sites or our Services, you accept these Terms and certify that you have reviewed these Terms are within or have reached the age of majority or age 18 (whichever is greater) in your jurisdiction. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THESE TERMS, PLEASE LEAVE THIS WEBSITE BY CLOSING YOUR INTERNET BROWSER WINDOW NOW. IF YOU DO NOT INTEND ON USING THE SERVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS, DO NOT UTILIZE THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY iPERFEX.
2. The Services
Services described on the iPERFEX Sites may or may not be available in all countries or regions of the world, may be available under different trademarks in different countries and, where applicable, may be approved or cleared by a government regulatory body for sale or use with different indications and restrictions in different countries. You agree to use the iPERFEX Services in accordance with all applicable guidelines as well as all country, state and federal laws that the Services are subject to.
The Services consist of one or more of the following: a web-based interface, access to incoming telephone number or keywords, Direct Inward Dialing Numbers (ìDIDsî), messaging applications, voice broadcast applications, SMS gateway access, data encryption, data transmission, data access, data storage and, if applicable, synchronization software, as well as software maintenance and upgrades and customer support, that enable you to send text messages and/or voice broadcasts to recipients designated by you (collectively, the ìServicesî). We provide MT outbound messages through different routes, and the level of reliability and support for special features varies according to the route. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all computer hardware, software and communications equipment needed to access the Services, and for paying all access charges (e.g. ISP, telecommunications) incurred while using the Services. iPERFEX only provides that the Services are processed correctly and delivered by iPERFEX to the applicable network. iPERFEX is not responsible for the final delivery of any communication initiated through iPERFEXís Services, as this is out of our control and is the responsibility of the communications carrier.
iPERFEX transmits and receives text messages and voice broadcasts via major telecommunications companies and mobile network operators, and thus iPERFEXís influence over the timing of the transmission of your messages and broadcasts is within the technical constraints imposed upon iPERFEX. While iPERFEX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transmit your messages and broadcasts to the applicable network for final delivery to your designated recipients as fast as possible, we cannot commit to, and do not guarantee, a specific maximum delivery time. Such times depend on various network and system-related factors among the various entities involved in the transportation of your messages and broadcasts across the public switched telephone network and/or Internet. You should know that communications carriers assign text messages and voice broadcasts with a default lifetime and any message or broadcast that cannot be delivered successfully within the lifetime assigned to it will be discarded by the communications carrier without any notice. iPERFEX is not liable for any loss incurred by the failure of a message or broadcast to be delivered, and you acknowledge that damages for financial or other loss resulting from delivery failure cannot be claimed from iPERFEX for any such non-deliveries. Furthermore, you agree that message and broadcast contents are deemed to have zero value.
3. Usage Policy
You represent and warrant that the owners of the phone numbers you provide to iPERFEX, to which outbound messages and broadcasts are transmitted through the Services, have consented or otherwise opted-in to the receipt of such messages and broadcasts.

You further recognize that iPERFEX does not want you to, and you warrant that you shall not, provide any information or materials to iPERFEX that is defamatory, threatening, obscene, harassing, or otherwise unlawful, or that incorporates the proprietary material of another.
9. Payments
Your use of the Services is contingent on your paying for such use (whether paid in advance or through the purchase of credits on the iPERFEX Sites), in the amounts and using the methods indicated on the iPERFEX Sites. Your payment for the Services, Credits (as defined below in Section 10), keywords, DIDs, usage-sensitive fees and/or plans (a portion of which also includes software maintenance and upgrades, as well as customer support) shall be deemed completed when iPERFEX receives the full amount of payment owed for such Services, Credits, keywords, DIDs and/or plans. You are responsible to pay for any message or broadcast you attempt to send to any number, regardless of whether the message is actually received by the intended recipient. As iPERFEX is dependent on other entities for the delivery of your messages and broadcasts, our price per credit may require adjustment in order to account for costs that are not in our control. Accordingly, we may adjust our prices from time to time without prior notice.
iPERFEX will charge your indicated method of payment for the Services, Credits, keywords, DIDs and/or plans immediately upon your confirming the payment method and amount. Amounts to be charged may include sales and other taxes where applicable and any other amounts indicated on the Site. To the extent that you are responsible for any additional taxes or fees beyond those collected by iPERFEX, you agree that you will pay them when due. Your account will be credited within 24 hours of iPERFEX verifying receipt of your payment. If you have elected to make a payment by credit card and we do not receive payment from the credit card issuer, you agree to pay all amounts due immediately upon demand by iPERFEX.
iPERFEX shall not be responsible for any errors or transmission failures with regard to the charging and collection of funds from your indicated payment method, nor for any actions taken by the provider of the payment method you choose (which could include refusal to authorize the charge). In addition to these Terms, any payments made by you may be subject to the agreement between you and the provider of the payment method.
As between you and iPERFEX, you are responsible for all charges related to purchases made using your account and payment method, whether or not you authorized such purchases. Standard charges apply to any test call sent originating from your account or initiated using your API key.
In the event of accidental under billing in favor of a customer, a non-payment by customer under these Terms, iPERFEX shall be entitled to immediately proceed with collection remedies and shall be entitled to recover any and all costs, fees, and expenses of such collection efforts, including but not limited to: collection agencies, court costs, filing and service of process fees, attorneysí fees incurred from counsel of iPERFEXís choosing, or any other costs, fees, and expenses incurred in the pursuit of collection on all customer accounts and receivables due and payable under these Terms.
10. Credits
Credits are paperless vouchers that you purchase and which facilitate the transmission of the iPERFEX Services selected by you. The chosen route as well as the destination of a message or broadcast causes the amount of credits required to either increase or decrease but, in either case, will always be made known beforehand through the Pricing Page of our iPERFEX Sites. The submission of a seemingly-valid message or broadcast will cause an associated quantity of credits to be debited from your account and you can obtain the real-time status of your account at any time through the online interface.
Expiration of Credits and Prepaid Minutes
Credits purchased as a part of a package or monthly plan, and not used within the month of purchase, expire at the end of the month, unless the plan explicitly provides for roll-over of credits. Individual anytime, non-monthly plan credits purchased through your account expire after 18 months from the date of purchase (or most recent date of account recharge), at which point such credits shall expire automatically, unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase. Additionally, the value of credits may change over time as the cost of transmission changes, and thus you acknowledge that the number of credits needed to utilize the Services may change correspondingly. You may request a full refund of any unused, non-monthly plan credits within 1 business day of purchase. No other refunds will be given. Any unused value shall be forfeited upon expiration. All prices, per-minute rates, and billing increments are subject to change at any time due to fluctuations in market conditions.
11. No Warranty; Limitation of Liability
iPERFEX reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the offering of any of the iPERFEX Sites or Services at any time for any reason without prior notice. Further, while iPERFEX utilizes electronic and physical security to reduce the risk of improper access to or manipulation of data during transmission and storage, it cannot guarantee the security or integrity of the data and shall have no liability for breaches of security or integrity or third-party interception in transit, nor for any damage which may result to your computer or other property by your use of the iPERFEX Sites or Services. You acknowledge that text messages and voice broadcasts are transmitted unencrypted and that eavesdropping of communications by third parties is possible. iPERFEX recommends that you ensure sensitive and valuable information is communicated by a protected and/or encrypted method. iPERFEX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make access to the Services available through the required access protocols, but makes no warranty or guarantee that (i) the Services will be available at any particular time; or (ii) you will be able to access the Services at any particular time or from any particular location. iPERFEX will not be liable for any act or omission of any other company or companies furnishing a portion of the Services (including, without limitation communications carriers or ISPs), or from any act or omission of a third party, including those vendors participating in iPERFEX offerings made to you, or for equipment that it does not furnish, or for damages that result from the operation of customer-provided systems, equipment, facilities or services that are interconnected with the Service.

FURTHERMORE, iPERFEX MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICES OR THAT THE iPERFEX SITES OR SERVICES WILL MEET ANY OF YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OTHER THAN AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS. iPERFEX MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, OR TIMELINESS OF THE MATERIAL, SERVICE, SOFTWARE, TEXT, GRAPHICS OR LINKS, AND ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED FROM ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE. iPERFEX SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOSS OF USE OR LOST BUSINESS, LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF ACTUAL OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS, LOSS OF DAMAGE TO OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL), OR FOR ANY COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER ACTIONS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IF YOUR USE OF THE iPERFEX SITES OR SERVICES RESULTS IN THE NEED FOR SERVICING OR REPLACING EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, OR DATA, iPERFEX IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE COSTS. iPERFEX'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE iPERFEX SITES OR SERVICES FOR DIRECT DAMAGES SHALL NOT, IN THE AGGREGATE, EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE MONTHLY TRANSACTION FEE PAID BY YOU TO iPERFEX HEREUNDER.

SECTION B, RESPONSIBLE USE OF SERVICE:
The following information is provided in an effort to promote responsible use of the iPERFEX service.
The iPERFEX service places the ability to launch an entire telemarketing campaign in the hands of you the subscriber. iPERFEX respects your privacy. We will not monitor your audio messages, read or share database upload information with any third party without your expressed permission unless we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to either comply with the the law or properly enforce the iPERFEX terms of service agreement.

IN ACCEPTING THIS ONLINE AGREEMENT, YOU FORMALLY AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING USAGE TERMS:
I Agree that:

This campaign will be respectful of proper calling time restrictions that would be applicable to my specific call campaign.
I understand that I may contact iPERFEX if wish to upload an existing do not call list. In the event a recipient makes a request to be taken off my calling list, I will do so immediately and indefinitely.
I understand that allowing those on my calling list to be removed and avoiding calls to those who do not wish to be called plays a very important role with regard to responsible calling campaigns.
I will Follow Federal and State calling time rules and or restrictions.
I will clearly state the identity of the caller at the beginning of my audio message and provide proper contact information such as phone number and address during call. I will avoid strings of numbers as it is unlawful to engage two or more lines of a multi-line business.
I understand that it is unlawful to send audio messages to any emergency phone lines. For example, 911 numbers, hospital medical service lines, physicians, health care facilities, poison control centers, fire or law enforcement agencies.
I will avoid sending unsolicited audio messages to those who will incur charges. For example: beepers, pagers or cell phones unless proper prior permission has been obtain by the recipient.
I will avoid sending pre-recorded sales messages to those with whom you do not have a business relationship and to whom you haven't received permission to call.
I understand and have read the iPERFEX Terms of Service (Reachable by clicking the "Terms of Service" link at the bottom of the main page.)

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) do not call list registry rules http://www.donotcall.gov and various State laws place restrictions on certain types of phone calls.

Business to business contact.
Does not include an unsolicited advertisement, even if the call is made for commercial purpose.
