Service Requirements.

Underlying phone or broadband service may be required to use some features of the Services. You are solely responsible for procuring, maintaining, and paying for the underlying phone or internet service.  Using CloudNumber or the FreedomVoice App requires using your own voice minutes. Fees, service charges, per message and per-minute usage and other charges may be assessed by your underlying phone service provider for any calls received through the Services. FreedomVoice is not responsible for your underlying phone service, for any calls made or messages sent across telecommunications networks which are not owned by FreedomVoice, or for problems with your underlying phone or broadband service.

You hereby authorize and grant to FreedomVoice a license to use, copy, transmit, distribute, store and cache messages and other content sent and received through your account with the Services, to sublicense those rights to its third party providers only for so long as necessary to provide the Services to you, and to disclose the same as required or permitted under applicable law.

Section 3: Payments

A. Free Trial Period

When you sign up for a free trial offer, you must provide a valid credit card on file. If you have elected to activate the Services as part of a free trial offer, any charges for the Service, any selected options, any usage in excess of the included minutes of your calling plan, and any usage in excess of the included text messages will not be billed until after the expiration of the free trial period. This free trial period begins the day the Services are activated and is subject to the duration offered.  On the day following the expiration of the free trial period, you will be billed using the credit card on file for the term of the Services, any optional features selected, sent text charges in excess of included texts, and minute charges for calls during your free trial in excess of included plan minutes or originating-from / forwarded-to locations outside of the Service’s domestic calling area.

The Customer’s initial payment for the Service will be due upon the expiration of any free trial period or the processing of the Customer’s order.  The charges will include fees for the selected calling plan, hardware costs, shipping costs, fees for any options selected not already included in the selected plan and where applicable the first month's rental fees for users. These fees are due immediately at the start of the Service.

At the time of placing an order for the CloudPBX service, the Customer’s “Service Start Date” will also be established and agreed upon by the Customer, not to exceed sixty (60) days from the placing of the order. The Service Start Date is when billing for the Service will begin. Prior to the original Service Start Date, a new Service Start Date can be selected as long as it does not exceed sixty (60) days from the placing of the order.  Any costs for new features, equipment, or services added to the CloudPBX service between the receipt of the initial payment and the Customer’s Service Start Date will be due immediately. Any bulk minute packages included with the Service (e.g. for inbound toll-free calls) are not available until the Service Start Date and applicable calls made before the Service Start Date will incur standard call charges. Any call charges incurred before the Service Start Date will be due on the first monthly statement following the Service Start Date.

C.  Ongoing Payments

On subsequent monthly intervals, the Customer will be charged for the Service’s ongoing monthly system rental fee, service fees, as well as any optional features chosen that have recurring monthly fees, and for usage (billed in 6-second increments and inclusive of calls made through the FreedomVoice mobile application) of the Service that either:
i. Exceeds the number of monthly minutes included with the Service, at a rate determined by the calling plan associated with the Service; or

iii. Taxes, duties and similar charges for both phones and the Service will be added where applicable and are payable by the Customer
iv. Overflow Trunk lines will be charged at $59 each.

vi. All prices are subject to change. Any price changes will be posted on “WebLink” or other web portal for using the Service, and the Customer’s continued use of the Service following notice of the price changes will constitute the Customer’s consent to such changes.

E.  Auto-Renewal Terms; Maintaining Account Balance

IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT YOU DO NOT EXPERIENCE AN INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF SERVICES, SERVICES THAT ARE PAID FOR VIA CREDIT CARD OR ACH, INCLUDING SERVICES ENROLLED THROUGH VIA A FREE TRIAL, ARE OFFERED ON AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. UNLESS FREEDOMVOICE STATES OTHERWISE IN WRITING, AUTOMATIC RENEWAL AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS THE APPLICABLE SERVICE UPON EXPIRATION OF THE THEN CURRENT TERM FOR A RENEWAL PERIOD EQUAL IN TIME TO THE MOST RECENT SERVICE PERIOD. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR LAST SERVICE PERIOD IS FOR ONE MONTH, YOUR RENEWAL PERIOD WILL TYPICALLY BE FOR ONE MONTH. FREEDOMVOICE WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW THE APPLICABLE SERVICE THREE (3) DAYS AFTER IT SENDS YOU AN INVOICE AND WILL TAKE PAYMENT FROM THE PAYMENT METHOD ASSOCIATED WITH THE SERVICE. RENEWALS WILL BE CHARGED AT FREEDOMVOICE’S THEN CURRENT RATES, WHICH YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE RATES FOR THE ORIGINAL SERVICE PERIOD.

IF YOU DO NOT WISH FOR ANY SERVICE TO AUTOMATICALLY RENEW, YOU MAY ELECT TO CANCEL THE SERVICE BY CALLING OUR SUPPORT NUMBER 480-463-8290 OR EMAILING SUPPORT@FREEDOMVOICE.COM. 

Monthly rental, service, and additional feature fees are payable in advance of each month’s service. Overages and any other applicable charges are billed subsequent to the end of each month’s service, except in the case that outstanding overages exceed $18.75 within a given month, whereupon these call charges will be invoiced on the next Friday. It is the Customer’s responsibility to maintain sufficient balance on the provided credit card or bank account to allow for settlement of charges.

Invoices that are not paid within 30 days may have a late fee of 1.5% per month applied to the unpaid balance, as well as a processing fee of $10 per month.

Any Customer disputes of the amounts invoiced or charged must be submitted in writing to FreedomVoice within ninety (90) days of the date of the applicable charges and, if not so disputed, the Customer waives any objection and further recourse with respect to such charges.

In the event that the Services are terminated, regardless of the reason for termination, the Customer agrees that any unpaid account balance is due immediately.  Any unpaid invoices` must be paid in full as a condition for reinstatement of the Services. If the Customer establishes or has already established one or more accounts for FreedomVoice services that remain active, FreedomVoice reserves the right to transfer any unpaid balance from the Customer’s terminated account(s) to the Customer’s active FreedomVoice account(s).

Section 4: Equipment

“FreedomVoice Equipment” means any telephone hardware (“Phones”) or other physical equipment provided, rented or sold to Customer by FreedomVoice in connection with your Services, including but not limited to the telephone, cables, handset and power supply.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that all FreedomVoice Equipment, whether included with the Service or rented, shall remain the property of FreedomVoice and that Customer acquires no ownership or other interest in any of the FreedomVoice Equipment.  FreedomVoice Equipment shall not be deemed a fixture or in any way part of the Customer’s premises. Customer shall only use FreedomVoice Equipment as part of the Services and pursuant to this Agreement.

A. Included Phones

We know that paying for phone system hardware can be difficult for new or rapidly-growing companies, so we have decided to include the necessary Phones with some of our service plans (fees may vary depending upon the service plan and Phone selected).  These included Phones are not and do not become Customer property.  While the Phones are included with some service plans, the Customer is still responsible to pay: phone upgrade charges, shipping, handling, and any applicable taxes and/or regulatory fees.

Upon request for cancellation of any or all seat/phone subscriptions, any included Phones associated with the cancellation must be returned. Return instructions will be provided by Customer Care at the time of the cancellation request. 

To continue this program, FreedomVoice must be able to reissue FreedomVoice Equipment that has been returned.  As such, all FreedomVoice Equipment must be returned in good and working condition with all components, including but not limited to the phone, cables, handset, and power supply, before we will process a cancellation.

If the associated FreedomVoice Equipment is not returned within thirty (30) days following request for cancellation, or if the FreedomVoice Equipment is deemed too damaged or to be non-working (at the sole discretion of FreedomVoice), the Customer will be responsible to pay the full retail cost for the FreedomVoice Equipment as set by FreedomVoice.  If any components are missing in the return shipment, the Customer will be responsible to pay the replacement cost for said components as set by FreedomVoice.

B.  Phone Rental Program

Customers participating in the Phone Rental Program must agree to a service term of twenty-four (24) months from the date of the initial agreement for the Services.  The Customer may cancel the Services and Rental Program at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice.  However, if such cancellation occurs within the twenty-four (24) month service term the Customer shall pay FreedomVoice a termination charge equal to the sum of: the MSRP price of all phones rented under the Phone Rental Program, and sixty (60) days of the monthly recurring charges for the Services.  This fee is in addition to all previous amounts paid.  After the initial service term the Customer may cancel the Service upon thirty (30) days written notice to FreedomVoice and return the rented phones.  Customer will be billed the MSRP price for any rental phones not returned within thirty (30) days of termination.

Customer has the option to purchase the rented phones during the service term.  The purchase price for such phones shall be equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the MSRP price, less the total rental fees paid by the customer to date.  The minimum purchase price is twenty-five percent (25%) of the MSRP price of such phones.

Customer has the option to purchase the rented phones after the completion of the initial service term.  The purchase price for such phones shall be equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the MSRP price of such phones.

The Customer’s purchase rental phones will not terminate the Services associated with such phones, and the Services will remain in effect following equipment purchase unless the Customer terminates such Services in accordance with the process outlined above.

C. Hardware Purchase

FreedomVoice Equipment purchased directly from FreedomVoice is subject to a Fifteen (15) Day Money-Back Guarantee for devices from the date the first device is activated.  If during that time the Customer is not fully satisfied with the FreedomVoice Equipment, the Customer may return the FreedomVoice Equipment and FreedomVoice will refund the cost of the FreedomVoice Equipment  less any shipping costs.  After such fifteen (15) day period, purchased FreedomVoice Equipment may not be returned for a refund.

Customers purchasing any FreedomVoice Equipment as part of the “Flex40” program agree to a service term of twenty-four (24) months from the date of the initial agreement for the Services.  The Customer may cancel the Services at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice; however, if such cancellation occurs within the twenty-four (24) month service term the Customer shall pay FreedomVoice a termination charge equal to the sum of: 40% of the MSRP price of all FreedomVoice Equipment purchased as part of the Flex40 program, and sixty (60) days of the monthly recurring charges for the Services.  This fee is in addition to all previous amounts paid.  After the initial service term, the Customer may cancel the Services upon thirty (30) days written notice to FreedomVoice.

Section 5: Number Portability

Any toll-free phone number ported in by the Customer for use with the Services may incur a one-time activation charge of $30, though some or all of this charge may be waived at the sole discretion of FreedomVoice.
Toll-free phone number(s) ported in by the Customer for use with the Services remain the property of the Customer and may be ported to another carrier of the Customer’s choosing as long as the Services remain active for the duration of the porting process. If the Customer cancels one or more ported-in toll-free phone numbers from their Services or terminates the Services in whole prior to porting toll-free phone numbers away, any canceled toll-free phone numbers may not be available to port away as they may be released to the SMS/800 pool of spare toll free phone numbers or re-assigned to new FreedomVoice customers. It is the Customer’s responsibility to complete, prior to cancellation, the porting away of any ported-in toll-free phone numbers the Customer wishes to retain as their property.

Toll-free phone numbers provided by FreedomVoice for use with the Services, however, are included as an integral component of the Services as a bundle that includes the toll-free phone number(s), virtual automated attendant, internet faxing capabilities, voicemail storage and access, call reports, and other related services. These toll-free phone numbers are controlled by third-party toll-free Responsible Organizations (“Resp Orgs”) and FreedomVoice remains both the end-user customer of said Resp Orgs and the “Toll-Free Subscriber” with respect to these toll-free phone numbers. As such, toll-free phone numbers provided by FreedomVoice for use with the Services do not become the property of the Customer and their portability is not guaranteed.

For porting in of phone numbers, you will be required to provide specific information in order for FreedomVoice to submit the porting request to your current carrier. Porting out requires that the number is associated with a non-delinquent paid account, or that the number you are porting out is a number that you previously ported into the service. For porting out phone numbers, you must contact both FreedomVoice and the carrier to which porting is to be made.. You must inform FreedomVoice by e-mail that you want to port out your number and request that your number is unlocked.  If your number has not been unlocked the port request from the porting in carrier will be denied. Furthermore, we must ensure that the information provided to us by the new carrier is a 100% match with the information associated with your FreedomVoice account before authorizing the release of the number.  You acknowledge and agree that: (i) porting in or out may be subject to an additional fee as allowed by applicable law and that you shall pay such fees as required; (ii) porting is coordinated through FreedomVoice's underlying carriers, so actual porting is not conducted by FreedomVoice. Porting of phone numbers is subject to involvement, cooperation and consent of third parties, including our underlying carriers and the carriers from whom or to whom porting is requested. As a result, the porting process may take considerable time and may not be feasible or allowed, or may be blocked or withheld by third parties and that FreedomVoice shall not have any liability to you for any actions or failures to act by such parties. AS CONDITIONS FOR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (I) ANY PORTED OUT PHONE NUMBERS SHALL BE FOR YOUR PERSONAL AND/OR BUSINESS USE AND WILL NOT BE RESOLD FOR PROFIT; AND (II) FREEDOMVOICE SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR THE INABILITY TO EITHER PORT IN OR PORT OUT A PHONE NUMBER, FOR ANY DELAY OR ERRORS IN FULFILLING A PORTING REQUEST, FOR ANY PHONE NUMBER SUBSTITUTION, OR FOR ANY LOSS, COST OR EXPENSE ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE ABOVE.  IN THE EVENT THAT WE DETERMINE YOU ARE RESELLING, BROKERING OR WAREHOUSING NUMBERS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES WE MAY IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNTS UP TO AND INCLUDING ANY, OR ALL, SERVICES PURCHASED THROUGH US OR OUR AFFILIATES. 

Section 6: Local Area Telephone Numbers

If the Customer is a using local area telephone number(s) as part of the Services, this number will be assigned according to the proximity of the account address the Customer provides to FreedomVoice. It is the Customer’s responsibility to confirm whether the number(s) are in the local calling area of their choice.  FreedomVoice does not assume responsibility for any of the Customer’s losses due to a number not being within the local area of the business or the Customer’s callers.

Section 7:  Fair Usage Policies

A.  Unlimited Calling Plans Fair Usage Policy

FreedomVoice unlimited minutes plans will have a virtually unlimited number of minutes for your use every month. Although there is no limit to the number of minutes on your FreedomVoice unlimited plan, a threshold of ten thousand (10,000) minutes every month and five (5) concurrent calls will be considered normal business use.  In the event that you exceed this threshold, FreedomVoice, in its sole discretion, may assess an additional usage charge of 3.9 ¢/minute or the current overage rate for every minute in excess of the threshold.

B. Unlimited Text Message Plans Fair Usage Policy.
 
Although there is no limit to the number of text messages you can send using the FreedomVoice App, a local unlimited plan has a threshold of two thousand (2,000) sent text messages and a toll-free unlimited plan has a threshold of ten thousand (10,000) sent text messages every month which will be considered normal use.  In the event that you exceed this threshold, FreedomVoice in its sole discretion, may assess an additional usage charge of 0.01 ¢/text message or the current overage rate for every text message in excess of the threshold.

C. Mobile Application Fair Usage Policy. 

The FreedomVoice App is offered as added value option to an authorized phone/device on our network. The application is intended to offer additional services and features on a mobile device as a complement to our other Services. Fair usage for the mobile app therefore is one instance of a mobile app per CloudPhone/CloudPBX seat or one per CloudNumber.

In the event that this fair usage policy is exceeded it could dramatically affect the cost basis for the associated service. Where possible, FreedomVoice will provide a notice of usage in violation of this policy before any suspension or termination, and, if appropriate, may offer an alternatively-priced option for continued use.

D. Voicemail Transcription Fair Usage Policy

To avoid additional costs and rate increases, it is necessary for FreedomVoice to actively prevent any fraudulent or otherwise abusive use of the voicemail transcription service by a very small subset of customers.

FreedomVoice reserves the following rights: to suspend or terminate, with or without notice, the voicemail transcription service or the Customer’s Services as a whole (if found to be willfully fraudulent or abusive) as a result of the Customer violating this policy; to take any unlawful, prohibited, abnormal, or unusual activity into account in making its determination to suspend or terminate the feature or service; to add to, modify, or amend this policy at any time, for any reason, in its sole discretion.

There is no established limit to the quantity of voicemail messages that may be transcribed with FreedomVoice’s voicemail transcription service. However, the total duration of such voicemail messages transcribed is limited to normal business use, defined as sixty (60) minutes of transcribed messages per monthly billing cycle. Usage that exceeds this amount may be found to be in violation of this policy and subject to any or all of the following: additional reasonable usage charges of 25 cents per 30 second transcription block; immediate suspension or termination of the feature; and/or immediate suspension or termination of FreedomVoice Services.

Where possible, FreedomVoice will provide a notice of usage in violation of this policy before any suspension or termination, and, if appropriate, may offer an alternatively-priced option for continued use.

Additional prohibited uses of the voicemail transcription service include (but are not limited to):

• Shared Use. The voicemail transcription service is intended to be used solely by the subscribing FreedomVoice customer and not shared amongst multiple individuals or businesses.
• Bulk Call-In Lines. Voicemail transcription service is not designed to be used for bulk support or sales call centers, voting hotlines, 900 numbers, sports or gambling hotlines, or other bulk call-in scenarios.
• Recorded Calls. FreedomVoice customers who subscribe to the Call Record feature may have recorded calls delivered and archived in a similar fashion as voicemail messages, however these recordings are not intended to be transcribed by the voicemail transcription service.
• Dictation. Voicemail transcription is not intended to be used as a dictation service.

E. Unlimited Voicemail Box Fair Usage Policy

To avoid additional costs and rate increases, it becomes necessary for FreedomVoice to actively prevent any fraudulent or otherwise abusive use of the unlimited voicemail box feature by a very small subset of customers.

FreedomVoice reserves the following rights: to suspend or terminate the Services, with or without notice (the latter if found to be willfully fraudulent or abusive) as a result of the customer violating this policy; to take any unlawful, prohibited, abnormal, or unusual activity into account in making its determination to suspend or terminate the Services; to add to, modify, or amend this policy at any time, for any reason, in its sole discretion.

Prohibited uses of the unlimited voicemail boxes feature include (but are not limited to):

• Shared Use. The Service is intended to be used solely by the subscribing FreedomVoice customer and not shared amongst multiple individuals or businesses.

The Customer is otherwise permitted to add via online interface or by request through contacting FreedomVoice, at no additional cost, additional voicemail boxes to the Services to a fair usage threshold of two thousand (2,000) such voicemail boxes per instance of the Services. Any attempt to exceed this threshold will be automatically declined by FreedomVoice, though a request for an exception to this threshold may be requested in writing. Any such request will be reviewed by FreedomVoice to determine whether the Customer’s usage pattern is fraudulent or abusive and it remains the sole discretion of FreedomVoice to permit or deny the addition of voicemail boxes above said the threshold.

Section 8: Using Call Recording Features

The Customer hereby expressly represents and agrees that, as a material condition to the use of FreedomVoice Services, at least three of the five following policies are actively in place to obtain prior employee consent to record telephone conversations using FreedomVoice Services: (1) a written phone-monitoring policy is maintained which advises employees that their telephone conversations over business phones may be monitored or recorded as a part of normal business operations; (2) Customer has obtained and maintains signed statements from employees acknowledging that they have received and reviewed the phone-monitoring policy; (3) signs or stickers are attached to business phones advising employees that phone calls may be monitored and recorded; (4) Customer maintains a zero tolerance employee policy that business phones should not be used for personal calls, and that, personal calls may be inadvertently monitored or recorded; (5) Customer maintains separate business phones that can be used for an employee's personal calls during non-work times.

The Customer further expressly represents and agrees that, as a material condition to the use of FreedomVoice Services, third-parties who may call or be called by Customer’s employees will be advised that conversations may be recorded by the following methods: (1) a verbal announcement at the beginning of incoming calls notifies all third parties of the monitoring and recording policy and of the purpose for the monitoring and recording such as for training purposes or quality assurance; (2) employees are required, trained and supervised to recite a similar announcement of the monitoring and recording policy when making outbound calls to third parties.

The Customer further expressly represents and agrees that, as a material condition to the use of FreedomVoice Services, it will observe any state or other laws that require both parties to a telephone conversation to give prior consent to the monitoring or recording of such conversation.  This includes California law, where prior consent of both parties is required even if only one party to the phone conversation is located in California.

The Customer agrees and understands that the conditions set forth above do not constitute legal advice and that the Customer is ultimately responsible for seeking appropriate legal counsel to ensure their recording of telephone conversations is in accordance with all applicable laws.

Section 9: Troubleshooting & Service Repair; Scope of Responsibility

In the event of any service issues, FreedomVoice will assist the Customer with troubleshooting the problem’s source. However, some elements key to proper performance, including LAN, wiring, power, firewall, CPE, and ISP, are beyond the scope of FreedomVoice’s responsibility to effect repairs. The sole exception to the above is in the case where FreedomVoice is providing the Customer with managed MPLS connectivity, whereupon the CPE and ISP do fall within the scope of FreedomVoice’s responsibility.

While FreedomVoice will continue to offer its assistance to the Customer in diagnosing service issues outside the direct scope of its responsibility, such as those listed above, their ultimate repair will remain the responsibility of the Customer, their Installer, and/or the Customer’s 3rd-party IT vendor.

Additionally, some WAN issues, such as poor performance by intermediary providers, are not the direct responsibility of FreedomVoice. However, in these cases, FreedomVoice will assist the Customer, their Installer, and/or the Customer’s 3rd-party IT vendor in working with any such providers to eliminate these issues.

Section 10: Referral Program

The following Terms and Conditions apply to the FreedomVoice Referral Program, wherein an existing FreedomVoice user (hereafter "Referrer") is eligible to receive rewards for referring unique, new customer(s) to sign up and maintain service in good standing with FreedomVoice.

Referrer is provided via the FreedomVoice WebLink online console a shareable link to a FreedomVoice web property that is encoded with their username information. When a prospective referred customer navigates to this link and places an order for FreedomVoice CloudNumber or CloudPhone service, or submits their information to be contacted about CloudPhone or CloudPBX service, these transactions are flagged as having originated with the Referrer.  Any resulting FreedomVoice services established by these transactions are similarly flagged as potentially warranting referral reward.

Referred customers meriting reward are limited to unique customers from the Referrer, including but not limited to a unique business name, credit card, mailing address, billing address, and email address. Any such matching information between Referrer and referred party may result in disqualification of referral eligibility. Referral rewards are issued upon the referred customer maintaining in good standing 60 days of active FreedomVoice service.  An account in good standing is deemed at the sole discretion of FreedomVoice, including but not limited to:

Active service with no scheduled cancellation date
No nonpayment holds or other account suspensions
No chargebacks issued for invoices paid

There is no limit to the number of referrals that can be made or rewarded by FreedomVoice, unless it is deemed by FreedomVoice that the Referrer is not acting in good faith to provide valid referrals.  In such cases, FreedomVoice reserves the right to suspend referral rewards for the Referrer and any other usernames on associated FreedomVoice accounts.

The association of Referrer and referred party relies on browser cookies, and rewards may not be issued in the event the referred party has disabled or otherwise removed the associated browser cookie(s).

FreedomVoice reserves the right to terminate and/or modify the Referral Program at any time without prior notice. Referral rewards are non-transferable, non-assignable, and cannot be redeemed or exchanged for cash, credit, or other merchandise. If further action is required for reward issuance, the Referrer must complete the additional action within 30 days from initial notification of the request for further action, otherwise the Referrer will forfeit the pending reward. FreedomVoice partners, resellers, or associates are not eligible to earn rewards under this program.

Referrer is responsible for any and all tax liabilities associated with participation with the referral program, including the receipt of rewards.  This Referral Program is void where prohibited by law.

Participating in the FreedomVoice Referral Program does not constitute the establishment of any form of partnership, reseller agreement, or other joint business venture between the Referrer and FreedomVoice.

By participating in this Program, Referrer agrees to release and hold harmless FreedomVoice, as the operator of the program for FreedomVoice and their affiliates and subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, consultants, and agents, and any other entity associated with marketing this program from any and all claims or damages arising out of, or in connection with the program. Referrer further agrees that the program and rewards are provided "as is where is". THERE ARE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO STATUTORY WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, THIRD PARTIES RIGHTS, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
