READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY PACSWITCH SERVICE. THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN PACSWITCH AND YOU, INCLUDING ANY PACSWITCH CUSTOMER, USER, OR WEBSITE VISITOR, (collectively referred to herein as “Customer”).
Terms of Service
These Terms of Service form part of an agreement (this/the “Agreement”) between Pacswitch Globe Telecom Limited, a Hong Kong limited company, (“Pacswitch”) and Customer. This Agreement governs provision of Pacswitch’s services (the “Service”) and is effective as of the moment Customer indicates agreement at the Pacswitch website, as of the moment the two parties sign a paper version, or as of the moment Customer uses any Pacswitch website or element of the Service (whichever comes first).
1. The Service.
- Pacswitch will provide the Service pursuant to this Agreement. Customer agrees that the Service is for
business use and not for consumers, and Customer hereby affirms: (i) that it will use the Service for
business purposes and not for personal, family, or household purposes; and (ii) that it is not an
individual less than 18 years old. - The Service will include such optional features (“Optional Features”) as are
reflected
in any Pacswitch quote accepted by Customer and any other ordering records maintained by
Pacswitch
(collectively, Customer’s “Signup”). Optional Features may include: (i)
consulting or
other professional services provided by Pacswitch’s staff (including without limitation
independent
contractors operating under the Pacswitch name); and (ii) software and other products and
services
Customer acquires through Pacswitch’s online application and service store (“Pacswitch
Exchange”), provided such product or service is specifically designated “Provided
Directly
by Pacswitch.” Optional Features are subject to the same terms and conditions as other elements
of the
Service, including without limitation the disclaimers and limitations of liability in Section 8
below,
except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. Optional Features are also subject to the
terms and
conditions of any statement of work executed by authorized representatives of Customer and
Pacswitch. - The Service does not include any software, consulting service, or other product or service not provided
by Pacswitch (collectively, “Third Party Products and Services“).- Third Party Products and Services include, without limitation: (A) any third party consulting
services that assist Customer in utilizing the Service or otherwise relate to the Service,
including such services provided by third parties Pacswitch referred to Customer; and (B) any
and all software and other products and services Customer acquires through Pacswitch Exchange,
unless such product or service is specifically designated “Provided Directly by Pacswitch.” - THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE NOT PART OF THE SERVICE, AND CUSTOMER ACQUIRES THEM
DIRECTLY FROM THE THIRD PARTY PROVIDER pursuant to such contract as Customer and the third party
provider may execute. Pacswitch IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES, EVEN IF Pacswitch RECOMMENDS THE THIRD PARTY PROVIDER, EVEN IF THE THIRD PARTY
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR TO CUSTOMER’S ABILITY TO RECEIVE OR EXPLOIT
THE SERVICE, AND EVEN IF Pacswitch ACTS AS THE THIRD PARTY PROVIDER’S AGENT IN DELIVERING THE
THIRD PARTY PRODUCT OR SERVICE, IN COLLECTING PAYMENT, OR IN OTHER WAYS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE
GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, Pacswitch WILL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR MAINTENANCE,
UPDATES, OR UPGRADES OF THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OR FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
INFRINGEMENT BY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND Pacswitch PROVIDES NO WARRANTY OR
INDEMNITY RELATED TO THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. In the event that Pacswitch is held
responsible or liable for Third Party Products and Services, despite the provisions of this
Subsection 1(c)(ii), such responsibility or liability will be subject to the disclaimers and
limitations of liability in Section 8 below.
- Third Party Products and Services include, without limitation: (A) any third party consulting
- So long as Customer remains in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Pacswitch grants Customer a
license to
reproduce and use, during the term of this Agreement, such application program interface (“API”) methods
as
Pacswitch may provide through the Service. The license in the preceding sentence is contingent upon the
following:
Customer will not reproduce or use the API methods for any purpose other than to receive the Service,
and Customer
will observe all Pacswitch’s written instructions for use of the API methods. Customer may not
sublicense the rights
granted in this Subsection 1(d). Pacswitch retains all title and interest in and to the API methods, and
Customer
receives no rights other than those specifically granted in this Subsection 1(d).
2. Payment Plans & Terms.
- Customer will pay for the Service pursuant to one of the following payment plans, as listed in Customer’s
Signup:- “Pay-as-You-Go Plan“: Customer pays for such Service as it uses, and Pacswitch may
charge fees
hourly or daily (or at such times as it chooses). - “Prepaid Plan“: Customer pays monthly, or on such other prepayment period as is
listed in Customer’s
Signup, for a package of Service listed in Customer’s Signup (Customer’s “Service
Package”). Payment is due before the start of each prepayment period, including renewed
prepayment periods. Customer will pay overage fees in the event that it exceeds its Service Package
during
any hour, as calculated by Pacswitch pursuant to its standard policies, and Pacswitch may charge
overage
fees daily (or at such times as it chooses). Customer may increase (“Upgrade”) its Service Package
through
the Pacswitch customer portal,
pacswitch.net(the “Customer Portal”).
Additional charges will go into effect upon Upgrade, and Pacswitch may charge
a prorated increase in Service fees for the payment period during which the Upgrade occurs, on a
daily
basis (or at such times as it chooses). Each Prepaid Plan will renew automatically at the end of its
prepayment
period. If the prepayment period is one month or less, Customer may cancel the Prepayment Plan on 30
days’
advanced written notice. If the prepayment period exceeds one month, Customer may cancel the Prepaid
Plan
at any time during the first 30 days of a renewed prepayment period, and if Pacswitch has already
charged
Customer for such period, it will refund the fees, prorated to deduct for the time between start of
the
prepayment period and cancellation. Customer will provide notice of cancellation through the
Customer Portal.
A cancelled Prepaid Plans will automatically revert to a Pay-as-You-Go Plan (unless this Agreement
is simultaneously
terminated).
Fees for Optional Services are in addition to fees for Pay-as-You-Go Plans and for Prepaid Plans. Pacswitch
may bill Customer
separately, on a monthly or other periodic basis, for Optional Features, pursuant to Pacswitch’s standard
policies. - “Pay-as-You-Go Plan“: Customer pays for such Service as it uses, and Pacswitch may
- Customer will pay Pacswitch’s standard fees for the Service, including for Optional Features, as such fees
may be revised from time to time. However, if Customer and Pacswitch agree to alternate fees in Customer’s
Signup, or in a Statement of Work for consulting-related Optional Features, such alternate fees will apply
until the end-date specifically listed in the Signup or Statement of Work, or if no end-date is listed, for
1 year. Thereafter, alternate fees will revert to Pacswitch’s then-standard fees. Customer will pay any
set-up or other fees required pursuant to Pacswitch’s standard policies. Customer will make all payments in
U.S. dollars. Pacswitch is not required to issue refunds or credits except as specified in this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) fees for Pay-as-You-Go Plans are non-refundable, and
so are fees for Prepaid Plans, except as specifically set forth in Subsection 2(a)(ii) above; and (ii) no
credit will entitle Customer to a refund. Promotional credits and SLA credits issued by Pacswitch may not be
used to pay for Optional Features, and no credit issued by Pacswitch may be used for Third Party Products
and Services. - Customer will notify Pacswitch of any billing dispute, providing details regarding the nature of the dispute
and the amount, within 15 days of the date on the invoice in question, or waive such dispute. Any payment
not
received when due will, at Pacswitch’s option, bear interest at a rate of 1.5% per month from the date due
until paid, to compensate Pacswitch for the time-value of the unpaid fees. In addition, Pacswitch may charge
a late fee of $19.99 per week, as liquidated damages, starting on the first day after any payment is due.
Such
liquidated damages compensate Pacswitch for administrative expenses related to unpaid fees. - Service fees for Pay-as-You-Go Plan accounts and overage fees for Prepaid Plans apply regardless of the
cause
of the Service usage or overage, even if caused by hacker activity or other third party actions. Pacswitch
is not required to issue or provide a roll-over of Service (memory or data) to a future month, a credit, or
any other refund in the event that Customer under-utilizes its Service Package. - Customer will maintain a valid credit card on file at all times. Pacswitch may charge such card for Service
fees
or other fees on the first business day prior to any payment due-date. Customer will update credit card
information
as necessary in the Customer Portal. If any charge attempt is denied, Pacswitch may interrupt Service
without
advanced notice but will make reasonable efforts to provide such notice.
3. Term and Termination.
- Customer may terminate this Agreement for material breach,
effective on 30 days’ written notice specifying the nature of the breach, provided this
Agreement
will not terminate if Pacswitch cures the breach before the effective date of termination. Customer may also
terminate this Agreement for convenience. If Customer has a Pay-as-You-Go Plan, termination for convenience
will become effective on the day after such notice. If Customer has a Prepaid Plan, notice of termination
for
convenience will also constitute notice of cancellation of such plan, and such termination will become
effective
on the Prepaid Plan cancellation date pursuant to Subsection 2(a)(ii) above. Customer will provide notice of
any termination through the online cancellation form in the Customer Portal. Pacswitch is not required to
refund
any payments in the event of termination by Customer, except as specifically set forth in Subsection
2(a)(ii)
above. - Pacswitch may terminate the Service, any portion thereof, or this Agreement for material breach, including
without
limitation any breach of the provisions of the AUP or of the payment obligations set forth in Section 2,
without
advanced notice. Pacswitch is not required to refund any fees paid or prepaid after such termination.
Pacswitch
may also terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time. Pacswitch will provide 30 days’ advanced
written
notice of any termination for convenience. Upon termination for convenience, Pacswitch will refund any
amounts
prepaid for Service not yet provided.
4. Acceptable Use.
- Customer represents that it has read the AUP, and Customer will adhere to its requirements.
- Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer will not allow the Service or Pacswitch
equipment
to be used for activities prohibited by the AUP. Third party violations of the AUP using Customer’s
Service,
including any IP addresses, points of access to the Internet, systems, software, or equipment
assigned
to Customer, will be considered violations by Customer. - Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, and without limiting any of
Pacswitch’s
rights or remedies, Pacswitch may suspend Service in whole or in part in the event that Pacswitch
reasonably
suspects an AUP violation. Reasonable suspicion pursuant to the preceding sentence includes, without
limitation,
a third party notice or claim that Customer’s use of the Service infringes on third party rights.
Pacswitch
will make reasonable efforts to notify Customer before any such suspension, unless the AUP violation
calls
for immediate action to prevent injury or liability, in Pacswitch’s opinion and at its sole
discretion.
Suspension pursuant to this Subsection 4(a)(ii) may continue so long as Pacswitch reasonably
suspects an
AUP violation. Pacswitch is not liable for any Service suspension authorized by this Subsection
4(a)(ii),
or for any related loss, even if the suspected AUP violation did not occur.
- Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer will not allow the Service or Pacswitch
- Pacswitch has no obligation to monitor the Service for AUP violations or for other illegal or improper
conduct but may do so and may disclose information regarding use of the Service for any reason, including:
to satisfy laws, regulations, or governmental, legal, or law-enforcement requests; to operate the Service
properly; and to protect itself and its customers. Pacswitch may grant law enforcement agencies access to
its equipment, including equipment used to provide the Service to Customer.
5. Service Levels & Remedies.
- Pacswitch will not be liable for Service interruptions or any other Service failures except as specifically
set forth in the SLA and in this Section 5. In the event of hardware failure: (i) Pacswitch will make
reasonable efforts to recover lost data, upon Customer’s request, but data-recovery is not guaranteed; and
(ii) Pacswitch will provide such credits as are required by the SLA (if any). In the event that Customer is
dissatisfied with the Service, Customer’s sole remedies are those listed in the SLA and in this Section 5,
or termination of this Agreement as authorized pursuant to Section 3 above. Remedies listed in the SLA do
not apply to any Service interruption authorized pursuant to Section 6 or any other provision of this
Agreement, and Pacswitch will not be liable for any such interruption. - All Service features, whether or not addressed in the SLA, are provided pursuant to the provisions of
Section
8 below and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.
6. Maintenance & Security.
- Pacswitch may interrupt Service to perform maintenance on Pacswitch equipment or to address and/or mitigate
the
effects of security breaches, virus attacks, denial of service attacks, and other intentional interferences
by third parties. Pacswitch will exercise reasonable efforts to inform Customer before interrupting Service
and to repair the Service promptly. - Customer is responsible for maintaining security and for maintaining patches and disaster recovery systems,
except to the extent Pacswitch specifically accepts such responsibility by listing such service features in
Customer’s Signup (subject to the limitations of liability in Section 8 and elsewhere in this Agreement).
Whether or not Customer’s Signup calls on Pacswitch to maintain back-ups, Customer will keep a back-up copy
of all data hosted by Pacswitch. Customer will promptly report any Service failure to Pacswitch via the
online ticketing system in the Customer Portal. Pacswitch is not responsible for providing physical access
to or copies of software, data, or content stored on Pacswitch’s equipment under any circumstances and is
not required to provide network access (i) after any termination or suspension of Customer’s Service or (ii)
in the event of hardware failure, abuse by hackers or other third parties, improper administration by
Customer, or other interruption of network access. - Pacswitch is not required to reimburse any expenses Customer incurs for technology diagnosis or repair,
including
without limitation expenses for outside consultants.
7. Private and Confidential Information.
- Pacswitch will adhere to the provisions of the Privacy Policy. Pacswitch is not responsible for use or
misuse
of data by any third party, including without limitation providers of Third Party Products and Services, the
operator of any website linked to Pacswitch’s website, or any Pacswitch customer, even if Pacswitch hosts
such
customer’s Website. Customer understands that the Privacy Policy applies only to the Service and to
Pacswitch’s
website. Pacswitch may notify Customer of leaks or exposure of private data, but except to the extent
required
by law, Pacswitch is not required to provide such notification. - Customer will employ reasonable security precautions in its use of the Service, including without limitation
encryption of social security numbers, medical records, and information of similar sensitivity belonging to
Customer or to its customers or users. - Customer will not use Confidential Information (as defined below) for any purpose other than to facilitate
the
Service. Except as specifically authorized in writing in advance by Pacswitch, Customer will not disclose
Confidential
Information to any third party, and will prevent any such disclosure of Confidential Information in
Customer’s
possession or control. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer will take reasonable
precautions
to protect Confidential Information and will not disclose Confidential Information to any of its employees
or contractors who do not need to know. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may disclose Confidential
Information
as required by applicable law or by proper legal or governmental authority; provided Customer gives
Pacswitch
advanced notice reasonably sufficient to allow Pacswitch to seek a protective order or otherwise to contest
such required disclosure, and reasonably cooperates in such effort. Customer will promptly notify Pacswitch
in writing of any misuse or misappropriation of Confidential Information that comes to Customer’s attention
and will cooperate with Pacswitch in investigating any such misappropriation and in mitigating any damages
caused. Upon termination of this Agreement or upon Pacswitch’s written request, Customer will return all
Confidential
Information to Pacswitch and certify, in writing, the destruction of any copies thereof.- “Confidential Information” refers to any information Pacswitch provides to Customer
in any form
and marks “Confidential,” and any information Pacswitch discloses orally and identifies as
“Confidential”
on or before disclosure. However, Confidential Information does not include information that: (A) is
in
Customer’s possession at the time of original disclosure by Pacswitch; (B) is independently
developed by
Customer without use of or reference to information provided by Pacswitch; or (C) becomes known
publicly,
before or after disclosure, other than as a result of Customer’s improper action or inaction. - Customer agrees that breach of the provisions of this Subsection 7(c) might cause Pacswitch
irreparable injury
for which monetary relief would not provide adequate compensation, and that in addition to any other
remedies
available, Pacswitch will be entitled to preliminary, temporary, and/or permanent injunctive relief
against
such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages.
- “Confidential Information” refers to any information Pacswitch provides to Customer
8. Warranties, Disclaimers, & Limitations of Liability.

data availability (including without limitation data integrity or availability related to cloud storage
features of the Service). Except to the extent specifically provided in the SLA, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON

THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE INJURY GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. - Except to the extent specifically provided in Section 5 above, and except to the extent that applicable law
specifically forbids such limitation of liability, Pacswitch WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY

own website, Pacswitch is not responsible or liable for the content or practices of any website, including
without limitation third party websites referenced in the preceding sentence. - THE LIABILITIES LIMITED BY THIS SECTION 8 APPLY: (i) TO LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE; (ii) REGARDLESS OF THE

FORESEEABLE; AND (iv) EVEN IF CUSTOMER’S REMEDIES FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Pacswitch’s limitations
and exclusions of liability and disclaimers of warranty, set forth in this Section 8 and elsewhere in this
Agreement apply equally to Pacswitch’s officers, employees, agents, contractors, representatives, suppliers,
subsidiaries, parents, and affiliated companies. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Pacswitch has set its
prices and entered into this Agreement in reliance upon such limitations of liability, and that such
limitations of liability form an essential basis of the bargain between Pacswitch and Customer.
9. Indemnity.
- Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Pacswitch (including its officers, employees, agents,
contractors, representatives, suppliers, subsidiaries, parents, and affiliated companies) from a claim by
any of Customer’s customers or users, or any other third party, arising out of or related to Customer’s use
of, misuse of, or failure to use the Service, including without limitation: (a) alleged Customer conduct
that would breach this Agreement, including alleged infringement of intellectual property or privacy rights
and other AUP violations; (b) security breaches or other alleged faults in the Service, including without
limitation faults listed in the SLA and faults leading to the release or exposure of personally identifiable
information or other private data (whether such data belongs to Customer, to one of Customer’s customers, or
to other third parties); and (c) any action taken by Pacswitch as part of an investigation into a suspected
violation of this Agreement or as a result of its conclusion that a violation has occurred. Such Customer
obligation includes payment of losses, expenses, damages, judgments, settlements, and costs, including
without limitation attorneys’ fees.
10. Miscellaneous.
- Title and intellectual property rights to the Service and all components thereof are owned by Pacswitch and
its licensors and suppliers. All hardware and Internet protocol addresses provided by Pacswitch are licensed
to Customer temporarily and remain Pacswitch’s sole and exclusive property. This Agreement does not grant
Customer a license to any software used to provide the Service or associated with the Service (collectively,
“Software”), or to any other software, by implication, by estoppel, or otherwise. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Customer will not reproduce, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the
Software. The logos, service marks, and trademarks (collectively, “Trademarks”) displayed on Pacswitch’s
website and through the Service, whether or not registered, belong to Pacswitch and its licensors and
suppliers. Neither this Agreement nor any Pacswitch website grants a license to any Trademark, by
implication, by estoppel, or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement transfers to Pacswitch any copyright in,
trademark on, or other ownership interest in any data or content of Customer. However, Pacswitch may include
Customer’s name in any list of customers used for marketing or other purposes. - Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its usernames and passwords, and Customer
will not transfer or sell to any third party such usernames or passwords, or Customer’s access to the
Service. - Pacswitch is not obligated to sell Customer any Service feature not listed in Customer’s Signup, or to
provide more Service than required by such Signup. - During the term of this Agreement and for 180 days thereafter, Customer will not encourage or solicit any
Pacswitch employee or independent contractor to leave Pacswitch’s employ, or otherwise interfere with
Pacswitch’s employment relationships. - The parties agree that the fees listed as liquidated damages in Subsection 2(c) and elsewhere in this
Agreement do not constitute penalties and are reasonable in light of the harm that will be caused by breach,
the difficulties of proof of loss, and the inconvenience and infeasibility of otherwise obtaining an
adequate remedy. No remedy of Pacswitch provided in this Agreement for late payment, declined credit card
charges, or other breaches will limit any other right or remedy of Pacswitch at law or in equity. - All written communications to Customer will be deemed delivered if sent to the contact points provided to
Pacswitch at the time of order, or to such other contact points as Customer provides in writing. Customer
will include a valid e-mail address with such contact points. All written communications to Pacswitch will
be mailed to 360 Spear St., Suite 200, San Francisco, CA 94105, unless Pacswitch notifies Customer in
writing of alternate contact information, except to the extent that this Agreement provides that such
communication will be made through the Customer Portal. - Pacswitch may revise this Agreement from time to time by posting an amended version at the Pacswitch website
and sending Customer written notice thereof. If Customer has a Pay-as-You-Go Plan pursuant to Subsection
2(a)(i) above, such amended version of this Agreement will become effective 30 days after such notice (the
end of the “Notice Period”), and Customer’s continued use of the Service after the Notice Period will
confirm consent to such amended version. If Customer has a Prepaid Plan pursuant to Subsection 2(a)(ii)
above, such amended version of this Agreement will become effective upon the first to occur, after the
Notice Period, of: (i) the start of Customer’s next prepayment period; or (ii) the next time Customer and
Pacswitch add to the Service in Customer’s Signup in a way that increases fees. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, revisions to the AUP, SLA, or Privacy Policy will become effective upon notice thereof. This
Agreement may not be revised or amended in any other way, except through a written contract executed by
authorized representatives of both parties. Pacswitch may provide notices of amended terms via e-mail, but
no e-mail exchange will itself amend this Agreement, even if such messages purport to do so. - This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of
California without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of
any other jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of California to the rights and duties of
the parties. The parties hereby consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal
and state courts of San Francisco, California. - Customer will not use the Service in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations, including without
limitation Hong Kong Administration Region Regulations. Customer represents and warrants that it is not on
the HKSAR Gov’s list of Specially Designated National and Blocked Persons and is not otherwise a person or
entity subject to a legal rule that would prohibit Pacswitch from providing the Service. - No delay, failure, or waiver of either party’s exercise or partial exercise of any right or remedy under
this Agreement will operate to limit, impair, preclude, cancel, waive, or otherwise affect such right or
remedy. To the extent caused by force majeure, no delay, failure, or default will constitute a breach of
this Agreement. - In the event of any conflict between these Terms of Service and any other element of this Agreement, or any
ordering document or statement of work, these Terms of Service will govern. - Customer may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without Pacswitch’s
express written consent. Except to the extent forbidden in the previous sentence, this Agreement will be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties. - If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, including without limitation
as a result of unconscionability or inconsistency with public policy, such provision will be construed so as
to come as close as possible to its intended meaning, and the validity, legality, or enforceability of the
remaining provisions will in no way be impaired. - This Agreement, including those documents incorporated by reference, embodies the final, full, and exclusive
statement of the agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations,
representations, and proposals, written or oral, relating to its subject-matter.
