The price, duration, and the number of phone lines on which any paid services may be installed and used will be clearly displayed to the Primary Account Holder at the time of purchase of the subscription. If you are the Primary Account Holder, your access to the paid service will start on the day that you tender payment for the paid service. If you are not the Primary Account Holder, your access to the paid service will start on the day that the Primary Account Holder adds your number to his or her list of subscribed phone lines. In either event, your access to the paid service ends at 11:59pm EST on the final day of the subscription period purchased by the Primary Account Holder (for example, a 3-month subscription purchased on January 15 will end at 11:59pm EST on March 14 for all phone lines subscribed through that account), unless you end the subscription earlier by either canceling your subscription pursuant to Subsection 4.6 or terminating the Agreements pursuant to Subsection 5.2.

The Company has the sole and exclusive discretion to determine which renewal subscription is comparable to your prior subscription; however, in the event that you are dissatisfied with the renewal option selected by the Company, you may alter the subscription during the cooling off period as discussed in Subsection 4.7. If you have signed up for automatic renewal but the payment information you have provided to the Company is no longer current at the time of your subscription renewal, your subscription will not automatically renew, but instead will expire at the end of its term as if you had not selected automatic renewal or automatic payment.
4.5

Except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Agreements the Company will not refund any subscription fees that have already been paid.

Any arbitrators not selected within the specified timeframes shall be selected by the AAA.
- Confidentiality. The existence of the arbitral proceedings and any rulings or awards shall be kept confidential except: (1) if the disclosure is required of a party to fulfill a legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings before a state court or other judicial authority; (2) if the disclosure is made to the party's accountants, attorneys, and other fiduciaries; (3) to an arbitrator or third party for use as persuasive authority in other proceedings brought pursuant to this Subsection; or (4) with the written consent of all parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, either party may disclose matters relating to the arbitration or the arbitral proceedings where necessary for the preparation of a claim or defense in such arbitration.

6.4
Time Limitations
Any claim under the Agreements shall be time-barred unless the claiming party commences arbitration (or litigation if one of the exceptions set forth in Paragraph 6.3(i) applies) with respect to such claim within one year after the basis for such claim became known or should have become known to the claiming party. If applicable law prohibits a one-year limitation period for commencing claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law. Any applicable statutes of limitations and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled upon the filing of a request for arbitration until 60 days after the issuance of the final award.
6.5
Anti-Assignment
You may not assign your rights or delegate your obligations under the Agreements to any third party. The Company may freely assign its rights and delegate its duties under the Agreements to any third party.
6.6
Amendments
The Company may amend the Agreements from time to time by posting updated Agreements to the Blockspamcalls
Website and/or within the Blockspamcalls Service. Your continued use of the Blockspamcalls Service after the
changes have been made will act as your acceptance of the revised Agreements. If you do not wish to continue to
use the BlockspamcallsService under the new version of the Agreements, you may terminate the Agreements by
following the procedures discussed in Subsections 4.6 or 5.2.
You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review the Agreements periodically to maintain
awareness of the most current terms of the Agreements. The Company is never required to alert you as to changes
to the Agreements, but the Company may choose to do so by any means reasonable under the circumstances (e.g. by
sending an e-mail or displaying a notice within the Blockspamcalls Service or on the Blockspamcalls Website).
6.7
Severability
If any provision or term of the Agreements is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreements shall remain in full force and effect, except where the construction of the Agreements without the severed provision would materially alter the economic or legal substance of the Agreements in a manner that is materially adverse to the Company, in which case the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Agreements so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible. To the extent any express or implied restrictions are not permitted by applicable laws, these express or implied restrictions shall remain in force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by such applicable laws.
6.8
Merger
Other than as stated in this Subsection or as explicitly agreed upon in writing between you and the Company, the Agreements constitute the final and exclusive agreement between you and the Company. The Agreements supersede all prior negotiations and agreements between you and the Company and there are no other terms or conditions other than those set forth in the Agreements. However, certain aspects of your use of the Blockspamcalls Service may be governed by additional agreements (for example, use of a gift card, coupon, or trial account). In those instances, you may be presented with additional terms that you must agree in order to use those aspects. If there is any irreconcilable conflict between those additional terms and the Agreements, the additional terms shall prevail.
6.9
Force Majeure
Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party will not be considered a breach of the Agreements if such delay is caused by labor dispute, shortage of materials, earthquake, flood, intervening illegality, or other event beyond the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts under the circumstances to notify the other party of the circumstances causing the delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.
6.10
Waiver
All waivers must be in writing and the Company's failure to enforce any provision of the Agreements on one or more occasions will not be deemed a waiver.
6.11
Notice
You and the Company shall provide only written notices under the Agreements and must use only the acceptable methods and contact information for notice as further discussed below, unless a different method is expressly stated in any Subsection of the Agreements (in which case, that method of delivery is acceptable only for the notice contemplated by the Subsection allowing for that type of notice).
1.
Notice to You
- If you are the Primary Account Holder, it is your responsibility to ensure that your e-mail address and other contact information is current and to advise the other users subscribed through your account of all relevant notices. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold the Company harmless against any claim that notice was not properly received by you or any individual having a phone line subscribed through your account if the notice was not received because you failed to keep your contact information current or because you failed to disclose notice to other users subscribed through your account.
- If you are not the Primary Account Holder, you understand and agree that you shall be deemed to have received notice of any communication sent to the Primary Account Holder in the same manner and effect as if it were sent directly to you.
