C. Use of Third Party Devices
The Real PBX does not guarantee or make any representation or warranty that any third-party IP telephone or other device will work, or be compatible, with the Plan Services or support the Plan Services’ full performance or quality of service potential or range of features and functionalities.

You can disable 3G/4G calling by configuring the Mobile Application to make/receive calls only over a wi-fi connection. Configuring the Mobile Application to disable VoIP calling will result in The Real PBX making/receiving calls using Your voice connection from Your mobile service provider; this may result in additional voice minute usage fees from Your mobile service provider.
4. NUMBER POLICIES
A. Number Availability
The Real PBX may make available telephone and/or facsimile numbers for Your selection and assignment to Account(s). You acknowledge and agree that a The Real PBX Party’s listing of a number may be erroneous and does not constitute a representation or guarantee that such number is available for such assignment, and that the The Real PBX Parties shall be authorized to remove such number from an Account in the event that it is not available.
B. Number Publication
Neither You nor any End User may publicize, list, or communicate any number that you believe to be assigned to Your Plan Services or Account, or purchase or invest in any materials or media reflecting any such number unless and until You have verified that such number is active and functioning as desired, including, without limitation, by test calling such number from a non-The Real PBX service plan and verifying that the fees and charges that will be incurred in connection with Use of such number are acceptable to You. You agree to hold harmless all The Real PBX Parties arising from or related to Your or any End User’s violation of the immediately preceding sentence.
C. Number Porting Policy

You acknowledge and accept that number porting depends on the co-operation of third parties outside of The Real PBX’s control. Accordingly, You agree that The Real PBX will not be liable for the failure or delay of any third party to cooperate in the porting of any telephone number, or for the allegedly unauthorized porting of any telephone number by a third party.

You are responsible for paying all charges for Your Account, including but not limited to (and by way of non-exhaustive examples only) free-phone, local, long distance and international minutes, additional feature charges, operator assisted charges, and directory assistance charges, and for all Taxes, surcharges, and fees imposed on You or The Real PBX because of Your use of the Plan Services. If You have a past due balance on previous or multiple accounts, then You will be charged the full balance upon opening a new account or updating Your credit card information on file. The Real PBX also reserves the right to charge termination and transfer fees consistent with, as provided in, the Agreement.
A. Plan Credits and Minutes
Some Plans provide for a fixed number of monthly usage minutes (“Plan Credits”). If You exceed Your Monthly Plan Credits during the course of a month, You may purchase additional Plan Credits as needed. The Real PBX may also provide You with certain bonus credit minutes and/or other promotional incentives (e.g., ‘tell-a-friend’ credits) upon fulfilment of the applicable promotion requirements. As explained below, international calling may be charged at a different rate than domestic calling, and a Plan Credit ‘minute’ therefore will not entitle You to a minute of international calling (“International Minutes”).
B. Service Availability
You acknowledge and agree that the products and Services provided by The Real PBX may not be available one hundred percent (100%) of the time. Credit allowances for interruption of the Plan Services may only be provided on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of The Real PBX and shall be Your sole remedy for any Plan Services interruptions or other issues with the Plan Services.
C. Metered Calling Plans
The Real PBX offers several monthly metered Plans for some of its products and services. Each metered calling Plan provides You with a free phone or local telephone number and a fixed number of Plan Credits each month for a monthly fee, excluding Taxes, surcharges, and fees. When You exhaust Your initial paid allotment of Plan Credits for Your Metered Plan then, unless You advise The Real PBX otherwise in writing, The Real PBX will automatically bill Your Account for the smallest available bundle of Plan Credits for the applicable Service. Additional minute usage will be debited at the applicable per minute rate(s) for Your Metered Plan. However, in some limited instances, calls placed under a metered Plan may not be counted against Your monthly allotment (e.g., calls made via a local phone number to leave or check voicemail or configure a system and calls answered on a Softphone). Please check the details of Your Metered Plan to determine which calls (if any) are not counted against Your monthly minute allotment. For international calling, international rates will apply.
D. Unlimited Plan
The Real PBX offers unlimited monthly Plans for some of its products and Services. An unlimited Plan provides You with a local or free phone telephone number and is subject to the terms and restrictions of the Agreement. If, for any reason, The Real PBX believes that Your usage of the unlimited Plan and Services violates the Agreement, then The Real PBX may, in its sole discretion with or without notice, either terminate Your Unlimited Plan or immediately convert Your Unlimited Plan to a metered Plan, as described above. The unlimited plans have a Fair usage limit of 2500 minutes per month/extension. Any usage above the same may be considered excessive and may incur respective action.
E. Value, Ownership, and Expiration of Credits or Minutes
In no event shall any entitlement to free phone minutes, International Minutes, Billing Credit, Plan Credit, or any other type of credit or minute issued to You or applied to an Account (collectively “Account Credits”) have any monetary value or be exchangeable or exchanged for cash. Account Credits may be applied only to the Account for which they were purchased and/or provided, and may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or applied to any other Account, Plan, or customer. Credited free phone minutes not applied to Usage on the applicable Account during the monthly billing cycle for which they are credited shall expire at the end of such cycle and shall in no event be available for application to Usage occurring during any other period. Other Account Credits shall expire according to the terms of their purchase or provision.
F. Discounts
From time to time in its sole discretion, The Real PBX may offer promotions or discounts. Any promotion or discount codes must be provided to The Real PBX upon purchase of the Plan Services. You are not entitled to a subsequent credit for any promotions or discounts if You do not request the promotion or discount credit at the time of Account creation or change of Plan. Promotions and/or discounts may not be used cumulatively or retroactively.

2. Billing for Mid-Year or Mid-Month Transactions
   If any purchase, transaction, or event involving or resulting in an annually-incurred or monthly-incurred Plan Fee occurs subsequent to the beginning of an applicable billing cycle, The Real PBX may at that time bill You a pro-rated amount for the remainder of the then-current cycle and thereafter bill You conterminously with each subsequent cycle.
3. Late Fees
   You agree and acknowledge that time is of the essence for payment of all fees and charges. Any fees or charges not paid when due shall incur interest at a rate of the lesser of: (i) the rate provided for pursuant to the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998; or (ii) the highest rate allowed by Law. The Real PBX’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)) shall not waive, limit, or prejudice in any way The Real PBX’s rights to collect any amount due. The Real PBX may terminate the Plan Services and the Agreement for non-payment if any fees or charges are not paid within seven (7) days of the due date.
4. Form of Payment
   All fees and charges are payable to The Real PBX by cheque, credit or debit card, or direct debit. When You subscribe to Plan Services, You will provide us with a payment method, such as a valid credit card or direct debit information for invoicing (if You are pre-approved by The Real PBX in its sole discretion to be billed via invoice) and, if applicable, authorize The Real PBX to collect from the payment method provided. Any authorization to charge a provided credit card or direct debit will remain valid until seven (7) days after You withdraw the authorization, or immediately upon provision of a replacement valid credit card or direct debit information. Upon termination of the Agreement, The Real PBX will charge You any fees and any other outstanding charges and disconnect Your Plan Services. You agree to advise and notify us of any changes to Your payment method, such as credit card or debit card account number or expiration date changes. If the credit card, direct debit or other payment method on Your Account is declined or fails for any reason, The Real PBX will use reasonable efforts to contact You and advise You of the failed billing attempts.
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, The Real PBX reserves the right to disconnect Your Plan Services and terminate Your Account if Your payment method is declined or fails for any reason, or if You withdraw authorization to charge a valid credit and do not provide an alternative payment method, and The Real PBX reserves the right to continue to attempt charging Your credit card for any outstanding charges and additional fees and pursue any other legal remedies available to The Real PBX.
5. Disputed Amounts
   You will waive the right to dispute any billed amount if You do not dispute such amount within seven (7) days of the date of its billing. If You fail to provide a written statement explaining in reasonable detail Your reasons for disputing the charge within such time period, You hereby irrevocably waive any objection and further recourse with regard to such charges. If You timely dispute a billed amount and The Real PBX confirms that You were over-billed, The Real PBX shall credit the applicable Account in the amount of the over-billing (“Billing Credits”). Billing Credits shall be The Real PBX’s sole and exclusive obligation and Your sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any erroneous billing.
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if You request Your bank or credit card company to perform a chargeback or to decline to process a cheque without first contacting The Real PBX to dispute the charge, and The Real PBX subsequently determines that the charges at issue are not erroneous, The Real PBX reserves the right to terminate Your Account immediately and take any available legal action.

Any use of the Services after such date will be deemed Your acceptance of the Change.
   B. Future Changes to these TOS
   The Real PBX may change the terms of these TOS from time to time upon delivery of electronic or written notices to You. The Real PBX generally provides written notice of changes to Your Account, including these TOS and any other legal agreements, via email, electronic notice on the Website or Your Admin Portal, or on Your billing statements, or as otherwise required by applicable Law. You agree to carefully read and review each such e-mail notice, electronic notice, and billing statement from The Real PBX fully regarding any such notices of changes to Your Account.
   Subject to applicable Law, the modified terms shall replace and supersede all previously agreed to electronic and written terms, as well as any prior versions of these TOS and become binding on You on the later of the date they are posted on the Website or as otherwise indicated in the notice to You. You agree that You are solely responsible for: (i) making sure that Your registered email account is current and functional; (ii) checking Your registered email account regularly; (iii) checking the Website and the Admin Portal regularly; and (iv) making sure that The Real PBX communications are not blocked or rendered undeliverable by You, Your computer, any software installed on Your computer, Your Internet service provider, or for any other reason.

   C. Promotional Services
   You acknowledge and agree that in the event that The Real PBX offers or provides You discounts or promotional services for Your Plan Services or an Account, The Real PBX may terminate or modify the scope of such promotional services at any time without notice, unless The Real PBX specifically agrees otherwise in writing in connection with its provision of the discounts or promotional services
   10. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
   The Real PBX warrants that it shall provide the Plan Services with reasonable skill and care, within a reasonable time and substantially as described in this Agreement. To the extent permitted by law, the Plan Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” and The Real PBX makes no promises or warranties, express or implied in relation to the Plan Services. Specifically and without limiting the foregoing in any way, The Real PBX disclaims any warranty: (i) that any product or service will meet any particular requirements; (ii) that any product or service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or that any defects in any product or service will be corrected; or (iii) relating to the accuracy or reliability of the results obtained through use of your Plan Services, any Account, or any product or any user communications, data, information, or content downloaded or otherwise obtained or acquired through the use of any of the foregoing. The parties agree, and it is their intention, that in no event shall any warranty provided by Law apply unless required to apply by applicable statute notwithstanding their exclusion by contract. Without limiting the foregoing, You acknowledge and accept that certain Plan Services require You to have a stable, reliable and high-quality Internet connection at all times and The Real PBX will not be liable for Your inability to properly access or use the Plan Services resulting from no or poor Internet connectivity.
   Some jurisdictions do not permit the disclaimer of certain implied warranties, so certain of the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to You. To the extent that The Real PBX cannot disclaim any such warranty as a matter of applicable Law, the scope and duration of such warranty will be the minimum permitted under such Law.
   In its marketing, advertising, offering, and sale of the Plan Services, The Real PBX attempts to describe the Plan Services as accurately as possible. Nevertheless, fully permitted by Law, The Real PBX does not warrant that any such information about Plan Services, including related software and hardware, is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. It is possible that such may be inaccurate or out-of-date, such as listing erroneous or out-of-date pricing information or referring to services that are no longer available. Such information is provided only for customers’ convenience and is not part of these TOS or any other agreement with The Real PBX.
