Telephone Data Lists Agreement

It is extremely important that you actually read this entire Agreement before signing!

This data lists agreement (“Agreement”) is made by and between:

(1) Electronic Voice Services, Inc. (“EVS” or “our” or “we” or “Company”), owner of TelephoneLists.biz, on the one side, and

(2) you and any entity, agent, user, or independent contractor that you are purchasing the lists for (collectively “you,” “your”, “buyer,” or “user” or “customer”) on the other side.

THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT AND YOU AGREE TO USE THE DATA LISTS IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS. YOU INDICATE YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THESE TERMS BY ANY OF THESE WAYS:

(1) MAKING ANY USE OF THE LISTS
(2) INDICATING YOUR ELECTRONIC CONSENT ONLINE (such as SignNow® or DocuSign®)
(3) SIGNING A PRINTED WRITTEN VERSION OF THESE TERMS
(4) EMAILING YOUR CONSENT

LICENSE:

• The lists are and shall remain the intellectual property of EVS. Upon purchase of any lists from EVS, you are hereby granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to make use of the lists for your own business and marketing purposes. However, you are not permitted to relicense, sell, trade, convey or otherwise share the lists with any other third party, except as may be required to (1) perform compliance scrubbing or (2) use another individual or company for your marketing purposes or (3) fulfil requirements of a valid subpoena or civil investigative demand from a court or regulator with competent jurisdiction.

ONE TIME PURCHASES:

• If you purchase a bulk list of a state, province, or country, there are no subsequent monthly charges or updates.

MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENTS & CANCELLATIONS:

• If you are using EVS’ monthly list subscription, you will automatically be charged monthly, but you may cancel your subscription at any time. All paid subscriptions are non-refundable and no pro-rated refunds will be given. If you do not wish to be automatically charged, please be sure to cancel at least three business days before the end of your billing cycle. Once you cancel, you will still be able to enjoy the benefits of your membership through the end of your monthly subscription period. If you do not download all of your credits by the time your subscription expires, you will lose access to any remaining credits. Cancellations may be made online via the member dashboard or you may call or email EVS. If you call or email, make sure you get a confirmation by email as proof of your cancellation request. This cancellation and refund policy extends to any payments made for increased download limits.

RETURN POLICY:

• Because the lists are downloadable software files and you may request examples before purchasing, there is no refund once you have received your purchased list(s).

TYPES OF TELEPHONE NUMBERS & DATA ACCURACY:

• The lists you purchase will not be 100% accurate at the time of your purchase, download, or use. This is due to multiple reasons:

  1) Every day thousands of telephone numbers are disconnected, moved, changed, reassigned, and placed on the DNC list.

  2) Landline phone numbers can be “ported” to become cell phone numbers and vice versa, and

  3) Some of the original data supplied to EVS may be inaccurate at the time we receive it and some data (including emails) changes after EVS receives it.

• You agree to accept the data lists “as is”. Regardless of the causes or damages lost income or additional expenses incurred by any inaccuracies, you are not entitled to any refund or credit. Your sole remedy is cancellation of future service. In the event a court awards direct damages, despite the foregoing, such damages shall in no case exceed the amount of the last payment for the data lists.

DUPLICATES:

• There will be some duplicates of the same person or company because there are various demographics associated with each of the multiple people using the same telephone number.

• If you do not want duplicates (such as husband and wife with the same telephone number), you will need to identify and delete those duplicates on your own.

• To remove duplicates, you can use tools such as Microsoft Excel, CSV Editor, or OpenOffice Calc.

• Also, most dialer applications have a de-duplicator.

• Users of EVS’ online monthly subscription portal may use the duplicate scrubber provided within the solution itself or may select their own removal method.

DO NOT CALL:

• The lists have NOT been pre-scrubbed to remove cell (also known as mobile or wireless) or VoIP telephones, or numbers on any Do Not Call (“DNC”) database. Therefore, you are completely and solely responsible for determining whether your calls are subject to cell or DNC prohibitions and comply with the same.

•  If you are subject to USA or Canadian telemarketing laws, you will need to register and if in the USA get a SAN (Subscription Account Number) with the FTC (and perhaps other government agencies) at: https://telemarketing.donotcall.gov.

• Note that laws and rulings may change from time to time. Therefore, if you are not permitted by law to call Federal, State, or Province DNC or cell numbers, you are 100% responsible for assuring that the lists you acquire from www.telephonelists.biz are lawfully scrubbed against Federal and/or State Do Not Call Registry, cell phone numbers, and any other appropriate lists.

• If you purchase EVS’ lists by state, you may see a DNC Number Flag feature in one of the fields, or if you are signed up for EVS’ online monthly subscription, you may see an option to select certain DNC scrubbing features.

• Important: These DNC features are merely a courtesy and are for the purpose of your being able to narrow your list by removing numbers that were on the DNC at the time EVS updated its lists. Since government DNC records are updated daily, EVS’ lists are NOT completely up to date with DNC numbers at the time you receive or make use of our lists.

• If you are not allowed by law to call cell phone numbers or to call numbers on the DNC, EVS’ courtesy DNC feature will not be sufficient, on its own, to keep you in strict compliance with laws.

• If EVS provides you with tools to assist in cleaning your dialling lists of DNC telephone numbers, EVS cannot guarantee 100% integrity or reliability of these tools.

• If needed, there are companies that will scrub (for a fee) DNC numbers, as well as wireless numbers, from your lists. Examples: www.DoNotCallScrubber.com and www.dnc.com

TEXTING & FAXING:

• It is NOT legal to send unsolicited commercial faxes or to send text messages to wireless devices, including cell phones and pagers unless the sender gets prior express written permission from the recipient.

• Exceptions to the laws:

  • 1) Transactional or relationship types of messages – If a company has a relationship with you, it can send you things like statements or warranty information;

  • 2) Non-commercial messages – This includes political surveys, fundraising messages, and emergency notifications.

• If you send faxes or text messages (SMS or MMS) or place calls using any of EVS’ products, you must comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and CAN-SPAM Act and any other applicable laws.

• Laws, regulations, and rulings may change from time to time.

• EVS does NOT permit the use of its products to send large quantities of emails, text messages, or faxes to any type of phone number.

• Note: Sending SMS/MMS messages related to Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms, and Tobacco (also known as “S.H.A.F.T.”) is a violation of the Wireless Carriers Guidelines and can result in a $10,000 fine.

EMAILING:

• The customer agrees that any use of any product to send email messages will be in compliance with all applicable Federal and State laws, including the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and the Customer’s own privacy policies.

• Depending upon use, the Customer may be required to have advance consent before sending emails.

• If Customer uses any product to send email messages, such compliance by Customer must, at a minimum, include:

  (a) no forged, false or misleading header information;

  (b) no false or misleading subject lines;

  (c) the sender’s physical address (not a P.O. Box);

  (d) clear indemnification of the email message as an advertisement;

  (e) an opt-out notice with a functioning opt-out mechanism via email or the Internet which is operational for at least 30 days after sending the message; and

  (f) honouring opt-out notices within ten (10) business days of receipt of each opt-out request.

• Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if Customer resells, shares, rents or transfers any Product, such compliance must, at a minimum, include prohibiting reselling, sharing, renting, or transferring the email addresses of recipients who have opted out of receiving email messages.

• CUSTOMER FURTHER AGREES NOT TO SELL, SHARE, RENT OR TRANSFER DATA TO OR WITH ANY PERSON OR ENTITY THAT DOES NOT AGREE TO USE DATA IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS, INCLUDING THE CAN-SPAM ACT OF 2003, AND WITH ITS OWN PRIVACY POLICIES.

• For email data purchased from the Company which Customer chooses to deploy themselves, Customer acknowledges that they understand some third-party email deployment services do not permit deployment of purchased email data.

• It is highly recommended that the Customer checks with its internet service provider and its email deployment company, especially, but not limited to, companies such as Mail Chimp, Constant Contact and iContact (by way of example), before deploying any type of email advertisements, announcements, or other correspondence of any type regardless of its relationship with email recipients.

  • EVS will not be held liable for any issues arising as a result of Customer’s third-party email deployment service.

  • Although EVS endeavours to provide quality products and services, there shall be no liability or responsibility for the success of Customer’s email campaign due to factors beyond the reasonable control of EVS including but not limited to:

    • (A) tracking and quantifying the success of the Customer’s campaign;

      (B) the look and feel of the Customer’s creative; and

      (C) deployment strategies, etc.
