Vonage and Customer may be individually referred to as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties”. The Vonage Affiliate providing Services under a Sales Order shall be as set forth in Schedule 2 (based on Customer’s domicile), unless otherwise set forth in a Sales Order), and all references to “Vonage” shall be deemed to refer to such Vonage Affiliate. Vonage may update the applicable Vonage Affiliate (within domicile) by providing reasonable written notice in accordance with this Agreement. Country-specific terms and conditions are set forth in Schedule 3 and shall apply to Customers domiciled in those countries. Vonage provides services and equipment intended solely for business use, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and on the condition that customer Accepts a Sales Order and complies with this Agreement. By Accepting a Sales Order, Customer (a) accepts this Agreement and agrees that Customer is legally bound by its terms; and (b) represents and warrants that it has the right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the corporation, governmental organization, or other legal entity, and to bind such organization to these Service Terms. If Customer does not agree to the terms of this Agreement, Customer may not download, install, or use the Services or Vonage Equipment. 1. DEFINITIONS Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to such terms in Schedule 1 and/or in the Sales Order. 2. SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES; SALES ORDERS A. Subscription Services a. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Vonage shall provide to Customer: (i) telephony, conferencing, messaging and related subscription-based services as described in one or more Sales Order(s), and the Service Descriptions which describe the features and functionality of the Services, or other documentation Vonage may provide from time-to-time; and (ii) the set-up, installation, implementation, configuration, and other Professional Services identified in Sales Orders (if applicable) and a Statement of Work (if applicable) in connection with the Subscription Services. Customer’s use of the Subscription Services are governed by Vonage’s Acceptable Use Policy. b. Subject to Customer’s compliance with this Agreement, Vonage hereby grants Customer and its Affiliates, a limited, revocable, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license during the Service Term to: (i) provide Authorized Users access to the Services via Customer’s Account; and (ii) download, install, and use Software made available by Vonage in connection with the Services, subject to any additional terms and conditions accompanying such Software, as applicable. c. Certain Software Vonage provided to Customer may contain third-party software ("Third-Party Software"), including open source software. Use of such Third-Party Software may be governed by separate copyright notices and license provisions, which will be provided to Customer and which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Such provisions shall govern the use of Third-Party Software. Customer agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of all end user license agreements accompanying any Software (including Third-Party Software) or plug-ins to such Software distributed in connection with the Service. All end user licenses shall immediately terminate on the date that the Service expires, or this Agreement is terminated. d. To access the Services, Customer must maintain an active Account in good standing. Customer shall provide and maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information within its Account. Customer is solely responsible for the activity that occurs on its Account (which includes its sub-Accounts), and for keeping its Account credentials secure. Vonage will not be liable for losses caused by any unauthorized use of the Account; provided, however, that Customer shall not be responsible for unauthorized Charges on its Account to the extent that it took reasonable precautions and the unauthorized use is demonstrated to be solely due to Vonage’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Customer represents and warrants that it is duly authorized to do business and use the Services in all jurisdictions in which Customer operates. Customer must notify Vonage promptly of any change in Customer’s eligibility to use the Services, breach of security, or any unauthorized use of Customer’s Account. Notwithstanding closure of Customer’s Account, Vonage may retain Customer Data as reasonably necessary for compliance with applicable law. e. The foregoing licenses shall extend to Customer Affiliates, provided that such Customer Affiliates are acting via Customer’s Account (or subaccounts thereof), and provided further that Customer remains liable to Vonage for all acts and omissions of such Affiliates (or any other entities authorized by Customer to use the Services or act via Customer’s Account) as if they were Customer’s own acts or omissions, including payment for the Services. f. Vonage may use or rely on one or more licensors, service providers, and/or equipment providers or equipment lessors whose products, equipment and/or services are provided in conjunction with, or incorporated into, the Services and/or Vonage Equipment ("Third-Party Services"). Such Third-Party Services may also be provided under Vonage's trademarks or otherwise branded as a Vonage Service. Third-Party Services may be governed by Third-Party Terms, or identified in documentation or on other media delivered with the Third-Party Services and will be provided to Customer; such Third-Party Terms are incorporated by reference into this Agreement and shall govern the use of Third-Party Services. Customer agrees to comply with such terms and conditions of all Third-Party Services. Such Third-Party Terms are deemed to be between Vonage and Customer and do not create a contractual relationship between Customer and such third party. Any non-compliance with terms and conditions of Third-Party Services shall be considered non-compliance with this Agreement. B. CX Contact Center Services Terms applicable to Vonage Contact Center Services (including VCXC-CC Extension and CX Cloud Express) are set forth here. The Service Description and the scope of Professional Services for the Vonage CX Contact Center Service identified on the Sales Order is set forth here. C. Sales Order Submission and Acceptance Customer may order Subscription Services by accepting or executing one or more Sales Orders in a manner and format as required by Vonage, including via Vonage’s ordering portal. Applicable Professional Service Fees and/or installation Charges will be set forth in a Sales Order. Vonage may, in its sole discretion, accept or reject a Sales Order prior to Acceptance or execution. Once a Sales Order is accepted or executed, along with an executed SOW (if applicable), Vonage shall provision the Subscription Services and provide access credentials to the Account or applicable sub-account thereof. Customer may also order additional Subscription Services via Vonage’s online ordering portal (described below). D. Service Term and Automatic Renewal Each Sales Order shall state the Initial Term. The Initial Term will commence on the date set forth in the Sales Order as the Subscription Service Term Start Date. Sales Orders which describe delivery of Subscription Services to multiple Customer Locations will identify multiple Subscription Service Term Start Dates and Subscription Terms. The Initial Term will automatically renew for successive periods of the same length as the previous Initial Term or Renewal Term (as applicable) except where either Party provides written notice of intent not to renew at least ninety days prior to the end of the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term. Upon termination of the applicable Initial Term or Renewal Term, Vonage will not be obligated to furnish the Subscription Services to Customer; provided however, if Customer continues to use the Subscription Services after termination of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, such use shall be on a month-to-month basis and Customer shall be obligated to pay for such Subscription Services at Vonage’s then-current monthly rates. Either party may terminate such month-to-month term by providing at least thirty days advance notice. Except as expressly provided in the applicable Sales Order, renewal of promotional or one-time priced subscriptions may be, in Vonage’s discretion, at Vonage’s applicable list price in effect at the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term. E. Service Adds; Co-Term Services added to an existing Customer Location will be deemed to be part of the existing Sales Order for the purposes of determining the remaining Subscription Term for such additional Service (i.e. co-term). However, some Services require a minimum commitment term which may not be co-terminus with the Subscription Term of the existing Sales Order (e.g. Vonage Equipment and CX Contact Center Services). For any such Services, a separate Sales Order is required, and the Subscription Term will be set forth in the applicable Sales Order. Services ordered for additional Customer Locations (i.e. multi-locations) will have separate Subscription Terms as stated in the Sales Order unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise via an addendum executed by both Parties. F. Service Platform Migration When Customer migrates from the Vonage Enterprise service platform to the VBC service platform, Customer acknowledges that upon Acceptance of a VBC Sales Order, the Vonage Enterprise services and all associated agreements shall be terminated, effective upon migration of the services. G. Changes Vonage may update, upgrade, discontinue, or otherwise modify the Services or specific Services in whole or in part in accordance with this section. Vonage shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least ninety days’ notice prior to any material changes of the specific Services, subject without limitation to urgency and security issues. Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Vonage to effect modifications to the Services, including by promptly implementing all fixes, updates, upgrades, and replacements of Software as reasonably required by Vonage, and Vonage shall not be responsible for Customer’s failure to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, modifications to the Services shall not materially reduce the features, level of functionality, performance, availability, or security of the Services during the Service Term, unless Vonage makes available to Customer, at no additional cost, an alternative Service that is substantially equivalent to the modified Service; provided that Customer’s sole remedy for non-compliance with the foregoing shall be the right to terminate any affected Service within ninety days of receiving written notice of the modification. H. Reservation of Rights Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Vonage reserves the right, but is not obligated, to (i) monitor and review Customer’s use of the Services, including to ensure Customer’s compliance with the Agreement; (ii) reject, refuse to transmit, block, or remove any content (including Customer Data); and (iii) access, read, preserve, or disclose any information that Vonage reasonably believes is necessary to (a) comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or government request, (b) enforce the Agreement, including investigation of potential violations hereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, (d) respond to Customer’s support requests, or (e) protect the rights, property or safety of Vonage, its customers, its customers’ end users, and/or the public. Customer agrees to provide Vonage with any information Vonage reasonably requests to investigate and resolve issues relating to Customer’s Account. I. Required Maintenance; Customer Support a. Vonage has the right to perform repair and maintenance or to upgrade, update or enhance (collectively, the "Maintenance") its network, infrastructure, website(s), Services and/or Vonage Equipment with prior notice per the Service Level Agreement if such Maintenance would cause a partial or full disruption of the Services. b. Customer will timely report any issues, trouble or problems affecting Service to Vonage using a Customer-initiated trouble ticket (a “Trouble Ticket”). Trouble Ticket procedures and additional information for Vonage support can be found here. Calls to and from Vonage customer service, sales or other representatives may be recorded and/or monitored for quality assurance and training purposes. Customer's sole remedies for any non-performance, outages, failures to deliver or defects in Service are set forth in the applicable service level agreement and these Service Terms. J. Voice-to-Text and Text-to-Voice Limitations. Certain Vonage Services may provide a function that allows voicemails to be converted to text and vice-versa. Customer understands and agrees that Vonage’s voice-to-text ("VTT") and text-to-voice ("TTV") features may not accurately transcribe voicemails or articulate text messages, respectively. Customer is solely responsible for checking the original message and verifying the accuracy of the message when using any VTT or TTV features. Vonage expressly disclaims all liability with respect to the conversion of voicemails to text or vice-versa. K. Acceptable Use Policy Customer shall not, and shall ensure that end users and Affiliates do not, and shall not authorize, assist, or enable any other third party to, use the Services in any manner that violates the AUP. L. No Resale Customer represents and warrants that it will be the ultimate end user of the Service. Customer shall not in any way resell, license, permit nor allow any third party to use the Services without receiving Vonage's prior written consent. M. Electronic Recording Customer acknowledges that there are laws governing the electronic recording of telephone conversations and that Vonage is not liable for any illegal use of the Services. It is Customer's responsibility to determine and comply in full with its own compliance obligations. No Services or products offered by Vonage are represented or warranted to comply with electronic recording laws. Customer agrees that Vonage may, in its sole discretion, record any call between Customer and Vonage for quality control and training purposes. 3. FEES AND PAYMENT A. Invoices; Billing and Payment Terms Vonage will invoice Customer pursuant to the Subscription Services Invoicing Frequency and Customer shall pay pursuant to the Payment Terms as set forth in the Sales Order. Charges are based on Subscription Services and equipment purchased and not actual usage. Recurring charges for the Subscription Services begin on the Subscription Service Term Start Date and will continue for the Term. Payment obligations are non-cancellable, and Charges paid are non-refundable unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant Subscription Term without the imposition of the applicable early termination charges. Usage based Charges (including Charges for international calls), Marketplace Service Charges, Change Order fees, and ancillary expenses (e.g. incurred in connection with the Professional Services, if any, such as travel, hotel and subsistence expenses; such expenses to be invoiced by Vonage at cost) are payable in arrears. Equipment purchase Charges are billable upon Acceptance of a Sales Order. Professional Services provided on a fixed price basis will be billed in advance and Professional Services provided on a time and material basis will be billed as completed monthly in arrears pursuant to the Payment Terms. An invoice for Professional Services will be sent promptly following Acceptance of the Sales Order, with payment due per the Payment Terms. Invoices will be sent by email to the address specified in Customer’s Account. The foregoing shall not apply to In-App Purchases. The terms of service for the app store from which Customer downloaded the mobile application shall govern the Payment Terms and taxes and fees for the in-app Services, if any, and such terms are hereby incorporated by reference. Overdue amounts other than amounts disputed in good faith bear interest at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowed by governing law. Vonage may suspend the Subscription Services upon prior written notice if Customer’s payment on any undisputed amounts remains overdue at the end of the tenth day following such notice. Customer agrees to supply Vonage with the information necessary for Vonage to complete an initial credit evaluation prior to providing Customer with access to the Services or the Vonage Equipment. Vonage may also update its information regarding Customer’s credit rating from time to time. Vonage may limit Customer’s purchasing of additional Services or Vonage Equipment or require another form of payment such as auto-payment in its reasonable discretion based on changes in Customer’s creditworthiness or habitual payment delinquency. B. Pricing Pricing shall be set forth in the applicable Accepted Sales Order or as stated in the Vonage ordering portal and shall remain fixed until the end of the applicable Subscription Term. Upon auto-renewal of the Subscription Services, the Subscription Charges will increase by 7%. In the event Vonage continues to provide Services to Customer on a month-to-month basis following a committed term, Vonage reserves the right to increase pricing to Vonage’s then-current month-to-month pricing. C. Commitment Customer agrees it is responsible for the full value of each Sales Order effective upon Acceptance of the applicable Sales Order, subject to termination due to Vonage’s uncured default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Subscription Services are reduced or terminated other than due to a Party’s uncured default, all Charges due under the reduced or terminated Sales Order will be accelerated and Customer shall pay Vonage the sum of all unpaid amounts for Subscription Services actually provided, plus the remaining contracted Charges as of the date of termination through the end of the Subscription Term stated in the Sales Order(s), as well as any additional incurred Charges (e.g. usage, Equipment purchases, etc.); or, if such termination is prior to the Subscription Service Term Start Date, the total amount of the Sales Order, and applicable Taxes and Fees on all of the foregoing. D. Taxes and Fees Prices for Subscription Services and Equipment purchases do not include applicable Taxes, Fees, Duty and Customs charges. Customer will be solely liable for and will pay upon demand all Taxes, Fees, Duty and Customs charges associated with Customer’s purchase of Equipment, and access to or use of the Services as set forth in the applicable Invoice, and shall not deduct any such amounts, or any other withholdings, set-offs, or deductions, from owed amounts, but will not be responsible for taxes based on Vonage’s net income. Customer may present Vonage with an exemption certificate eliminating Customer’s and Vonage’s liability to pay certain Taxes. Once Vonage has approved the exemption certificate in writing, Customer shall be exempt from those Taxes on a go-forward basis. If a tax authority determines that Customer is not exempt from Taxes and assesses those Taxes, Customer shall pay those Taxes to Vonage, plus any applicable interest or penalties. Customer may be charged Taxes and Fees by a marketing partner or authorized distributor for non-Vonage products and services sold or licensed by that marketing partner or authorized distributor in connection with a Sales Order. In addition, a regulatory recovery fee for every phone number assigned to Customer's account, including toll free and virtual numbers, may be charged monthly to offset costs incurred by Vonage in complying with inquiries and obligations imposed by regulatory bodies/governments and related legal and billing expenses. This recovery fee may also include recovery of costs for legal, intellectual property, cybersecurity, compliance and other related expenses, including those related to number portability, customer privacy protection and anti-fraud protection. This fee is not a tax or charge required or assessed by any government and may be recovered by Vonage through imposition of a surcharge on the cost of the Service. E. Billing Disputes Billing disputes must be initiated within ninety days of the disputed invoice date. Upon expiration of such ninety-day period, Customer waives its right to dispute any fees paid or payable to Vonage. The Parties will work together in good faith to resolve billing disputes. A pending billing dispute shall not exempt Customer from timely paying any undisputed amounts. Other than as stated in this Agreement, fees paid are non-refundable. 4. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES A. Performance a. Vonage will provide and Customer shall pay for Professional Services (set up/installation Charges) as applicable and as specified in the Sales Order(s) and/or SOW using trained and qualified personnel, who will provide such Professional Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. b. Customer’s exclusive remedy for breach of the foregoing shall be the re-performance of such Professional Services, except where Vonage is unable to re-perform the Professional Services, in which case, Customer may recover fees paid with respect to such deficient Professional Services by written claim no later than ninety days after the claimed deficient performance. c. Professional Services are available either on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis (as determined by Vonage) as described in the relevant Sales Order and/or SOW. Professional Service Fees may be subject to change if Customer modifies the scope of the Services or delays the Services to be installed. d. A change to the scope or execution of the Professional Services shall be agreed via Change Order prior to implementation of the changes. The Change Order shall set out the proposed changes and the likely effect on the Professional Services and/or the Professional Service Charges. e. Upon completion of the Professional Services, if the Customer uses the Subscription Services or part thereof for any purpose other than for testing, such use shall constitute Acceptance of the Subscription Services. f. Vonage may subcontract the performance of, or Customer may utilize a third-party to perform any or all of the Professional Services. Any subcontract by Vonage shall not affect Vonage’s liability to the Customer for the performance of its contractual obligations, and Customer shall be solely responsible for any Professional Services performed by Customer’s third-party. B. Scheduling The Parties will mutually agree upon the scheduling of Professional Services ordered by the Customer. Vonage shall use all reasonable efforts to meet the agreed-upon schedule. In the event Customer reschedules or cancels scheduled Professional Services, Vonage shall make reasonable efforts to mitigate incurred expenses and reschedule its resources to other engagements; provided that, to the extent Vonage cannot reasonably avoid such expenses or reschedule the applicable resources, Customer shall be responsible for such losses. In addition, in the event Customer reschedules the Professional Services and the rescheduling is not due to delays caused by Vonage, the Subscription Service Term Start Date will commence on the date stated in the Sales Order unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. C. Cooperation Customer shall cooperate reasonably, timely, and in good faith with Vonage (including its subcontractors and personnel) in its performance of Professional Services, including by providing to Vonage in a timely manner and without charge (a) support as reasonably requested by Vonage; (b) information regarding health and safety rules and regulations and any other reasonable security requirements that apply at the applicable service location; (c) physical space, equipment, telephone and internet access, and access to other facilities; (d) access to appropriate and knowledgeable personnel; and (e) as applicable, permissions, consents, or authorizations reasonably necessary to activate, maintain, inspect, or repair applicable Services or Vonage Equipment, including (if applicable) the right to access and enter the applicable service location upon reasonable prior notice. D. Special Install Costs Vonage may charge, and Customer shall pay, all recurring and nonrecurring costs, Charges and expenses incurred by Vonage for Customer’s benefit in connection with non-standard installation, delivery or implementation of the Services (collectively, the “Special Install Costs”). For clarification and by way of example, standard installation does not include (and the following may comprise a portion of any Special Install Costs) core drilling, wiring extensions for excessive distances, installation of new conduit runs, installation of water proof shielding, installation of aerial circuit runs, or removal of hazard materials, as determined by Vonage Business at its sole discretion, as well as after-hours installation of Services (“Non-Standard Installation”). Non-Standard Installation will be purchased by Customer as an additional Service. Non-Standard Installation is the installation of Services Monday to Friday between 5pm to 8am (local time), any time on Saturday and/or Sunday, and holidays. Non-Standard Installation will include appointment coordination, the provisioning of the Service, basic external wiring, call tests, and remote Vonage technical support as needed. Special Install Costs will be invoiced to Customer as soon as practicable following the Subscription Service Term Start Date for the applicable Services. E. Telephone Number Porting Vonage’s policies and procedures for telephone number porting is set forth here. 5. FREE TRIAL SERVICES; BETA SERVICES A. Free Trial Services If Customer’s Sales Order or registration with Vonage includes a free trial (“Free Services”), then the applicable Services will be made available to Customer until (i) the end of the free trial period; (ii) the Subscription Service Term Start Date for Free Services, or (iii) the termination of Free Services for cause by Vonage, whichever is earlier. Any additional terms upon which the Free Services are provided as part of the trial registration process, are incorporated herein. Use of Free Services is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Customer agrees that Vonage, in its sole discretion and for any or no reason, may terminate Customer’s access to the Free Services or any part thereof. B. Beta Services Certain Services or Software may be designated or offered as a beta version ("Beta Version") of a Service or Software, which may or may not be released as a full commercial service in the future. Customer may choose to try such Beta Services or not in its sole discretion. Any use of Beta Services is subject to this Agreement. Customer agrees that Beta Versions may contain errors. The fact and existence of any Beta Version shall be deemed to be Vonage Confidential Information under this Agreement. NOTWITHSTANDING SECTION 11 (INDEMNIFICATION), VONAGE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY NOR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF ANY KIND; WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VONAGE’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO $500.00 USD. CUSTOMER WILL BE FULLY LIABLE FOR CUSTOMER’S USE OF SERVICES DURING ANY FREE TRIAL OR BETA SERVICE PERIOD, ITS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS AND ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. 6. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS; EQUIPMENT a. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that it meets the minimum hardware, Software, connectivity, and other technical requirements for accessing the Subscription Services. Vonage’s minimum technical prerequisites are available upon request. b. Customer understands, acknowledges, and agrees that: (i) Customer must have a high-quality high-speed internet connection to use the Services; and (ii) Vonage is not providing an internet connection for Customer. Vonage does not control and is not responsible for: (a) Customer's internet connection; (b) the quality of Customer's internet connection; (c) any third party products and/or services related to Customer's internet connection; or (d) problems with the Services that are caused by or related to Customer's internet connection. Vonage will not contact any of the internet providers and/or service or product providers on Customer's behalf. c. Customer understands and acknowledges that use of the Services may require the use of certain Customer Equipment, Vonage Equipment, and/or Third-Party Equipment. Vonage’s Equipment Policy is set forth here and shall apply to all equipment used, purchased or leased in connection with the Services. 7. SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS; POLICIES; APPS MARKETPLACE a. These Service Terms incorporate applicable Supplemental Terms set forth here, which shall apply to the specific Third-Party Services purchased by Customer, if any. Certain Subscription Services may be subject to other third-party terms which shall be made available to Customer prior to the purchase of such Third-Party Services, and shall supersede any conflicting terms with respect to such Subscription Services. b. These Service Terms also incorporate all additional terms, conditions and policies that are set forth in an addendum, schedule or exhibit, as well set forth in the Legal Policy Center here under the heading “Unified Communications – VBC” (collectively, the “Additional Terms”), and supersede and replace all terms and conditions set forth in any documents issued by Customer, including purchase orders and specifications not agreed to in writing by the Parties. c. Vonage may update or replace the AUP, Privacy Policy, Copyright Policy, Telephone Number Porting Policy and Emergency Services Acknowledgement (“Policies”) from time to time (a “Policy Change”), and will provide notice to Customer either via email to the address on file, or through Customer’s invoice. If such Policy Change is (a) applicable to Customer, and (b) materially and detrimentally impacts the Services, upon receipt of notice, Customer will have thirty days to notify Vonage that such changes are materially and adversely impacting, stating specifically which changes are impactful. The Parties will then attempt to reach a mutually agreeable workaround agreement. If agreement cannot be reached, Vonage may either waive or modify the requirement to Customer's reasonable satisfaction. If Vonage does neither, then Customer can either, within thirty days following Vonage’s notice of its refusal to waive or modify the requirement, accept the Policy Change or terminate those Services affected without termination liability, without the right to continue to use those Services thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer’s right to object or terminate shall not apply to Policy Changes required by applicable law, regulation or governmental authority, or to changes required to protect the security and operability of Vonage, the Services, Vonage’s other customers. d. Vonage offers third party products and services on its App Marketplace (“Third-Party Apps”). When Customer subscribes to use such Third-Party Apps, Customer shall agree separately to the required terms of use or service with such Third-Party App provider (“App Terms”), in addition to these Service Terms. Vonage is responsible for the billing and collection of amounts owed to such third-party provider and to tax and regulatory authorities, and will charge Customer’s method of payment. Charges for these services will appear on Customer’s monthly Vonage invoice. Vonage will also handle all billing questions. Customer acknowledges that Vonage is not responsible for support or technical assistance with respect to any Third-Party App and that Customer’s use of the App itself is subject to the App Terms; Customer shall direct its App questions and support requests directly to the provider of the Third-Party App at the contact email address or number set forth on the Marketplace and/or in the App Terms. However, Customer may only modify or terminate Third-Party Apps or related accounts through the App Marketplace in order to modify or terminate billing for such Third-Party Apps. Failure to do so through the App Marketplace will not modify or terminate billing, for which Customer is liable. Customer is solely responsible for its use of the Third-Party App, and will indemnify Vonage and its Affiliates against any and all claims arising from Customer’s misuse of the Third-Party App or its breach of the App Terms. e. Vonage may enter into marketing arrangements with marketing partners (each a "Marketing Partner") or resale/distribution agreements with authorized distributors (each an "Authorized Distributor") who market Vonage Services to prospective customers who then subscribe to these Service Terms. When these Service Terms are accepted by a Customer, the Customer is considered a customer of Vonage only with respect to Vonage Services. As an example, if the distributor of internet services also markets Vonage-branded solutions and a Customer subscribes to both internet services and Vonage Services with Vonage under these Service Terms, the customer is considered, with respect to Vonage Services, only a customer of Vonage. The terms, conditions and policies pursuant to a Marketing Partner or Authorized Distributor's contractual arrangement with Customer for other products and services may differ from these Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and other policies applied by Vonage to similarly situated customers, but such Marketing Partner's or Authorized Distributor's terms, conditions and policies will not apply to Vonage Services, nor supersede these Service Terms as applicable to Vonage Services. 8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; CUSTOMER DATA AND DATA DELETION A. Customer Data. As between Customer and Vonage, Customer owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in Customer Data. Customer authorizes Vonage to use the Customer Data to provide the Services and perform in accordance with the Agreement. B. Retention and Deletion of Call Recordings and Voicemails. Except as agreed by Vonage and Customer in writing, Vonage shall delete Call Recordings and Voicemails as follows: a. if CX Contact Center Services, in accordance with data storage terms set forth in the CX Service Description set forth here; b. if VBC Services, call recordings are retained until Customer deletes the data, or the Service(s) are cancelled, or until Customer utilizes all allotted storage space. Customer may download the data at any time prior to cancellation or termination of Service(s).

Confidential Information “Confidential Information” means any non-public information or data, regardless of whether it is in tangible form, disclosed by either Party that is marked or otherwise designated as confidential or proprietary or that should otherwise be reasonably understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances surrounding disclosure, including the material terms of this Agreement. The terms of the Agreement are the Confidential Information of both Parties. Neither Party may identify the other Party using its name, trademarks, and/or logos in marketing collateral, press releases, presentations, websites, and/or case studies without the other Party’s written consent. Confidential Information does not include any information which: (i) is publicly available through no fault of receiving Party, (ii) was properly known to receiving Party, without restriction, prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party, (iii) was properly disclosed to receiving Party, without restriction, by another person without violation of disclosing Party’s rights, or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without use of or reference to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. B. Restrictions Each Party agrees that it will use the Confidential Information of the other Party solely in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement (and for Vonage to provide the Services) and it will not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without the other Party’s prior written consent, except as otherwise permitted hereunder or for Vonage to provide the Services or make other uses and disclosures identified in Vonage’s Privacy Policy. Each Party agrees to exercise due care in protecting the other Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure. Each Party may also disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party to its employees, representatives, actual or potential investors, and subcontractors who have a need to know and are bound to keep such information confidential consistent with the terms of this section. In addition, Vonage may disclose the Agreement under a comparable non-disclosure agreement in response to a third-party due diligence request supporting a financing or non-ordinary course of business corporate transaction. Either Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other as required by law, legal process, or court order; provided that, subject to applicable law, it promptly notifies the other Party of such required disclosure in order to allow the other Party to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. C. Data Security Vonage agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the security of Customer Data it handles, stores, processes, or transmits within its reasonable span of control in accordance with applicable law. If Vonage discovers or is notified of a breach of security relating to Customer Data, Vonage shall promptly (a) notify Customer of such breach; and (b) if the applicable Customer Data was within the reasonable span of control of Vonage at the time of such breach, Vonage shall: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the breach; and (ii) take commercially reasonable steps to institute safeguards that are designed to prevent or attempt to prevent the recurrence of such breach. D. Personal Data Processing of personal data by Vonage on behalf of Customer shall be subject to the terms of the Vonage Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”), which is automatically incorporated into the Agreement by this reference. 10.

All settlements of indemnifiable claims under this Section shall: (i) be entered into only with the indemnified Party’s consent if such settlement requires any admission of guilt or imposes any restriction or obligation on the indemnified Party; and (ii) include an appropriate confidentiality agreement prohibiting disclosure of the terms of such settlement. 12.

CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT ASSUMES THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EMERGENCY SERVICE LIMITATIONS AS SET FORTH IN THE EMERGENCY SERVICES DISCLOSURE NOTICE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 16. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the country indicated on Schedule 2 based on Customer’s domicile, in any case without reference to conflicts of law rules, and jurisdiction and venue for all claims shall be held in accordance with Schedule 2. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall be inapplicable hereto. 17. ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION A. Management Resolution In the event either Party has a dispute or claim against the other Party, the disputing Party shall provide written notice to the other Party per Section 14 (Notices). The Parties agree to escalate disputes (other than invoice disputes) to their respective management, who will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by consulting with each other in good faith to reach an equitable resolution satisfactory to both parties within thirty days of the receipt of notice. Neither Party shall pursue or commence proceedings regarding the dispute in any court, administrative arbitral, or other adjudicative body prior to engaging in such consultations and negotiations. B. Binding Arbitration If negotiations fail to resolve the dispute within thirty days, and/or small claims court is not a valid option due to the size or nature of the claim, all disputed claims (except for claims relating to Intellectual Property Rights, indemnity, or confidentiality obligations, fraudulent or unauthorized use, theft, or piracy of service, or matters relating to injunctions or other equitable relief) must be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, in the English language. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be given the broadest possible meaning under applicable law. The initiation of an arbitration dispute shall not otherwise prevent Vonage or Customer from terminating Services in accordance with the Agreement. C. Location and Procedure A Party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other Party a written notice of dispute per Section 14 (Notices), which must describe the nature and basis of the dispute and set forth the specific relief sought. The arbitration location and arbitration organization will be according to the terms of Schedule 2, based on the principal business location of Customer. The amount of any settlement offer made by Customer or Vonage shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which Customer or Vonage is entitled. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with this Agreement. The prevailing Party in any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. D. Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver Subject to applicable law, each Party waives its right to a trial by jury for claims subject to arbitration hereunder. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual Party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that Party's individual claim. The arbitrator may not award special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential damages. CUSTOMER MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST VONAGE ONLY IN CUSTOMER’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A CLAIMANT / PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER OR GROUP ACTION IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR GROUP ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AND CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS OR GROUP ACTION SUIT. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's or entity's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. E. Equitable Relief Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be entitled to enforce its Intellectual Property Rights and seek equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction at any time. 18. MISCELLANEOUS A. Entire Agreement; Headings This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Customer and Vonage with respect to the Services, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between the Parties with respect thereto. The section and paragraph headings in the Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect their interpretation. No oral or written information or advice given by Vonage or its employees and other representatives will create any obligations or warranty on behalf of Vonage unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by an authorized Vonage representative. Any purchase orders, confirmations, payment documentation, or other terms provided by Customer, even if signed by the Parties after the date hereof, shall have no force or effect. In the event that the Parties have executed versions of the Agreement drafted in more than one language, the English language version shall govern and prevail. Customer represents that Vonage has made no commitments or promises orally or in writing with respect to delivery of any future features or functions. In relation to any future features or functions, all presentations, RFP responses, and/or product roadmap documents, information or discussions are informational only and are not the basis for, nor part of this Agreement or any Sales Order. B. Modifications and Waivers Except as expressly provided elsewhere in the Agreement, the Agreement may not be changed or modified, nor may any provisions hereof be waived, nor may any consent or confirmation be considered to have been given, except by an agreement in writing signed by the Party against whom enforcement of the change or modification is asserted, and any such modification, change, waiver, consent, or confirmation on Vonage’s behalf may only be given by an authorized signatory of Vonage. The failure of either Party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights hereunder. C. Severability If any provision of the Agreement, or any part thereof, is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be (to the minimum extent necessary) replaced by a valid and enforceable provision the effect of which comes as close as possible to the intended economic effect of the unenforceable or invalid provision, so that the Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect. D. Force Majeure Neither Party is liable for any failure of performance (other than for delay or performance in the payment of money due and payable hereunder) to the extent such failure is due to any cause or causes beyond such Party’s reasonable control, including acts of God, fire, explosion, vandalism, adverse weather conditions, governmental action, acts of terrorism, strikes and similar labor difficulties, war, pandemic, sabotage, or denial of service attacks. Neither Party’s invocation of this clause will relieve Customer of its obligation to pay for any Services actually provided or permit Customer to terminate any Services except as expressly provided herein. The affected Party shall make all reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the force majeure event on the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. E. Relationship of the Parties; No Third-Party Beneficiaries The relationship of the Parties shall not be that of partners, agents, or joint venturers for one another, and nothing contained in the Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership or agency agreement between the Parties for any purpose. Vonage and Customer are independent contractors and shall discharge their contractual obligations at their own risk subject to the terms of the Agreement. Except as explicitly stated herein, nothing in the Agreement shall confer upon any third parties any rights, benefits, or remedies. F. Assignment This Agreement inures to and is binding upon the Parties’ successors and permitted assignees. Neither Party shall assign the Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed; provided that such assigning Party may, without consent, but with reasonable prior written notice, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any parent, affiliate, or subsidiary of such assigning Party or pursuant to any merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale or transfer of all or substantially all its assets; provided, further, that with respect to an assignment by Customer, (i) the successor shall not provide services that compete with Vonage; (ii) the successor must be at least as creditworthy as Customer, as reasonably determined by Vonage; (iii) the successor shall agree in advance and in writing to assume and be bound by all provisions of the Agreement, and shall deliver to Vonage upon request fully-executed documents reasonably acceptable to Vonage establishing the terms of such an assignment; (iv) such assignment may not constitute or result in a violation of applicable trade control, export, or other law; and (v) Customer shall remain liable for all of Customer’s obligations that accrued prior to such assignment. Any assignment by a Party other than as permitted by this section shall be void and of no force or effect. G. Trade Compliance By using the Services, Customer represents and warrants that (i) its use of the Services will not violate any embargoes, sanctions, trade restrictions, or similar restrictions issued by any applicable governmental entity; and (ii) Customer, its Affiliates, and its Authorized Users have not been designated by any applicable government or any government agency as a prohibited or restricted party under any trade restrictions, export laws, or the like.

This Agreement shall become effective upon Acceptance of a Sales Order. Electronic Acceptance of Sales Orders and any other applicable documents, and the incorporation by reference of this Agreement into all applicable documents shall be deemed valid, binding and enforceable by and against both Parties. J. Basis of Bargain; Failure of Essential Purpose Customer acknowledges and agrees that Vonage has established its prices and entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the limitations and exclusions of liability and the warranty disclaimers set forth in this Agreement, and that they are an essential basis of the bargain between the parties and are material terms of this Agreement. The Parties agree that the limitations and exclusions of liability and warranty disclaimers specified in this Agreement will survive and apply even if found to have failed their essential purpose, and Customer hereby waives its right to contest the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement by reason of such failure. K. Export Compliance The Services and any derivatives thereof may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions. Each party represents that it is not named on the United States’ government denied-party list. Additionally, the Customer shall not permit its Authorized Users to access or use the Services while located in a United States embargoed country (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria or Crimea) or in violation of any United States’ export law or regulation. L. Order of Precedence In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence shall be: (a) the DPA and BAA (if applicable); (b) the Sales Order; (c) Product-Specific Terms (where relevant); (d) the Service Descriptions and Service Level Agreement (if applicable); (e) this Agreement; (f) the Statement of Work (if applicable).

Emergency operators and authorities may also not be able to hold the line open in the event that the User hangs up. 2.1.5 The Customer agrees to inform Users and potential users of the Telephony Service of the above limitations and understands and accepts that it should always have an alternative means of accessing 999/112 emergency services. 2.1.6 If the Supplier has cause to suspend the Telephony Service, a User will still be able to dial 999. 2.2 Outbound dialling to emergency services is not available if the Telephony Services are accessed via the Vonage Contact Centre contact-pad (which is the interface used by Authorized Users providing voice capabilities, features and functions). 2.2 Outbound dialing to emergency services is not available if the Telephony Services are accessed via the Vonage Contact Centre contact-pad (which is the interface used by Authorized Users providing voice capabilities, features and functions). 3.
