5. RINGCENTRAL’S PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

You acknowledge and agree that any and all intellectual property rights (the “IP Rights”) associated with the Service are and shall remain the exclusive property of RingCentral and/or its licensors. Nothing in this TOS intends to or shall transfer any IP Rights to, or to vest any IP Rights in you. You are only entitled to the limited use of the rights granted to you in this TOS. You will not take any action to jeopardize, limit or interfere with any IP Rights. You acknowledge and agree that any unauthorized use of the IP Rights is a violation of this TOS, as well as a violation of applicable intellectual property laws. You acknowledge and understand that all title and rights in and to any third party content that may be accessed through the Services is the property of the respective content owners and may be protected by applicable patent, copyright, or other intellectual property laws and treaties.

You may not copy, distribute, sell, resell, license, sub-license, reproduce, disclose, lend, transfer, convey, modify, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the Services and/or any of RingCentral’s technology or software for any purpose whatsoever.

6. CHARGES, PLAN CREDITS AND CHARGEBACKS

Generally. You are responsible for paying all charges for your RingCentral Account, including but not limited to any toll-free, local, long distance, and directory assistance charges encountered as a result of using the RingCentral MobileSM Service, and for all taxes and surcharges imposed on you or us as a result of your use of the Service. Customers with a past due balance on previous or multiple accounts will be charged the full balance upon opening a new account or updating their credit card information on file. The current terms and conditions for RingCentral’s service plans and pricing are available here. RingCentral reserves the right to charge termination and transfer fees consistent with each plan’s terms and conditions.

Plan Credits; Minutes of Calling. RingCentral offers several different service plans. All of the service plans provide for a fixed number of monthly credits (“Monthly Credits”). If you exceed your Monthly Credits during the course of a month, you may purchase additional credits as needed. RingCentral may also provide you certain bonus credit minutes and/or other promotional incentives (e.g., “tell-a-friend” credits) and the like. All of these credits (“Plan Credits” or “Calling Credits”) are quoted in terms of domestic minute usage, and are thus sometime referred to as “minutes.” 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 calling to some or all international points.

International Calling. Because Plan Credits are quoted for domestic minute usage, you may be charged additional Plan Credits and/or additional rates may apply if you use your Plan Credits for international calling. RingCentral’s current international rates may be found here. You are advised to refer to your specific Paid service plan details regarding all domestic and international charges and all other terms and conditions of your plan.

Value, Ownership, and Expiration of Plan Credits. Plan Credits have no monetary value. Plan Credits may only be redeemed by the holder of the RingCentral Account to which the Plan Credits have been credited, and may not be sold, transferred, or assigned, or used by another user or with another user’s RingCentral Account. Your monthly credits expire at the end of the relevant Service month and do not “roll over” to the next month. Unused purchased Plan Credits do roll-over month-to month, but expire 12 months after purchase.

Fraudulent or Erroneous Charges. RingCentral strongly encourages you to contact RingCentral directly in all cases of suspected fraud or error involving your RingCentral Account. In most cases, RingCentral can correct fraudulent or erroneous charges without bank or credit card company intervention. If you suspect fraud or discover erroneous charges on your RingCentral Account, please contact RingCentral customer support at (888) 898-4591. When you contact customer support, please have the following information available: (a) your name, contact information, and the RingCentral Account telephone number in question, (b) the date that the RingCentral Account in question was created, (c) the credit card account number used to open the RingCentral Account, and (d) the total amount charged to the RingCentral Account. If you request that your bank/credit card perform a chargeback without first contacting RingCentral and RingCentral subsequently determines that the charges at issue are not erroneous or fraudulent, RingCentral reserves the right to take any available legal action and to hold you responsible for all chargeback and other fees and charges that may apply.

7. BILLING AND PAYMENT

Any applicable initiation charges, usage and monthly recurring charges and fees are billed in full in advance. Termination and transfer charges are billed in arrears. Upon termination of your RingCentral Account for any reason, all unused Plan Credits shall expire in their entirety and no refund or proration shall be made of any unused Plan Credits or of any remaining periods/months on any pre-paid or annual service plan.

When you sign up for a service plan, you will provide us with a payment method, such as a valid credit card, and, if applicable, authorize us to collect from your payment method. Any authorization will remain valid until 30 days after you terminate our authority to charge your payment method. We will then charge you any disconnection applicable fee and any other outstanding charges and disconnect your service. You will advise us of any changes to your payment method, such as credit card account number or expiration date changes. Time is of the essence for payment. Therefore, you agree to pay us interest on the lesser of (a) 18% per annum or (b) the highest amount allowed by law for any amounts unpaid as of the due date. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “Paid in Full”) shall not waive any of our rights to collect the full amount due. We may assess an additional fee of fifty dollars ($50) for any check returned for nonpayment.

Billing cycle end dates may change from time to time. When a billing cycle covers less than or more than a full month, we may make reasonable adjustments and prorations to charges to your Account.

8. SCOPE OF LIMITED PROMOTIONAL SERVICES

From time to time, Ring Central may make Limited Promotional Services available at no cost to you. You understand and agree that RingCentral may modify the scope of the Limited Promotional Services it offers at any time without additional notice to you. You further understand and agree that Ring Central may offer Limited Promotional Services only to new customers and that you may not be eligible for some or all Limited Promotional Service offerings.

9. TERMINATION OR MODIFICATION OF THE RINGCENTRAL MOBILESM SERVICE

You may cancel your use of the RingCentral MobileSM Service with or without cause at any time by calling RingCentral at (800) 574-5290. RingCentral is available to take your call Monday-Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

You understand and agree that RingCentral may at any time, and without additional notice to you terminate, modify, suspend, disconnect, discontinue, or block access to some or all of the features of the RingCentral MobileSM Service if:

  • RingCentral determines that your use of the RingCentral MobileSM Service violates or has at any time violated this TOS or any other applicable agreement between you and RingCentral.
  • RingCentral determines that such action is necessary to maintain or improve the Services, to prevent fraud or misrepresentation by affirmative acts and/or omissions, to protect other users or third parties, or for any other good cause.
  • RingCentral chooses to discontinue or modify the scope of its Limited Promotional Services.
  • For any other reason RingCentral deems it necessary or advisable to restrict your access to the Services, including but not limited to compliance with requests by law enforcement or other government agencies.

RingCentral shall not be liable to you or any third party for any reason for terminating your use or access to the RingCentral MobileSM Service.

If you or RingCentral terminates your right to use the RingCentral MobileSM Service, you shall not be entitled to any refund or pro ration of any pre-paid amounts or credits.

10. REASONABLE USE

Unusually high usage of the RingCentral MobileSM Service attributable to individual RingCentral Accounts may impair RingCentral’s ability to provide the RingCentral MobileSM Service and/or indicate misuse of the RingCentral MobileSM Service. Accordingly, your use of the RingCentral MobileSM Service is subject to reasonable use limitations. For all RingCentral Accounts, reasonable use means that, in RingCentral’s sole and reasonable discretion, your use of the RingCentral MobileSM Service does not materially impair RingCentral’s ability to provide the RingCentral MobileSM Service to other users. Except where prohibited by law, RingCentral reserves the right to immediately disconnect, suspend or modify your RingCentral MobileSM Service if RingCentral determines that your use of the RingCentral MobileSM Service violates RingCentral’s Reasonable Use Policy.

11. NUMBER OWNERSHIP

You understand and agree that you are not the owner of any telephone number assigned to you by RingCentral. You understand and agree that RingCentral may from time to time need to change the telephone number assigned to you (due to an area code split or for any other reason). You understand that if the number assigned to you by RingCentral is available for reassignment, it may be reassigned upon termination of your Service. RingCentral will not be liable for any damages (including consequential or special damages) arising out of any such reassignment. In addition, you understand and agree that RingCentral will not be liable for the failure of any third party to port any telephone number to or from any third party service provider.

12. NUMBER AVAILABILITY

The RingCentral MobileSM Service permits you to choose a toll-free RingCentral number from among a limited selection of possible toll-free RingCentral numbers (as well as use your existing RingCentral telephone number). RingCentral will attempt to provide you with the number that you choose. However, RingCentral cannot guarantee that requested numbers will be available. You should not order any printed material, such as business cards or stationary, showing a RingCentral number, or issue any press releases or otherwise publicize any RingCentral telephone number until that number becomes active in your RingCentral Account and you have subscribed for a paid service plan (i.e., after the expiration of any free trial period). RingCentral will not be liable for reimbursement for press releases, business cards and/or stationary under any conditions.

13. STORAGE

RingCentral is not obligated to store your voicemails, sent/received calls, and/or other information maintained or transmitted by the Services, and does so only as a convenience to you. You agree that RingCentral has no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the deletion or failure to store any voicemail and/or other information maintained or transmitted by the Services.

14. UNSOLICITED ADVERTISEMENTS

The transmission of certain unsolicited calls, facsimiles, or otherwise using the Service for broadcasting or transmitting unsolicited advertisements is prohibited by federal law, including the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (http://ftp.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/unwantedfaxes.html), and a number of similar state laws. Distribution of unsolicited advertisements through the RingCentral MobileSM Service is prohibited. You shall not use the RingCentral MobileSM Service to send or transmit any unsolicited communications or advertisements and understand that, if you do, RingCentral may immediately terminate your right to use the RingCentral MobileSM Services without any liability of any kind and you may be liable and subject to monetary and other penalties related thereto.
