Terms of Service

Effective as of 10/12/2018

This Agreement governs the purchase and use of conference calling services and related products and services of Vast Communications LLC d/b/a/ Vast Conference (“Services”) and its third-party suppliers (“Third-Party Services”) (the Vast Services and Third-Party Services are referred to collectively as the “Services”). Vast Conference (“Vast”) may alter, expand, or reduce the features of the Services from time to time without notice to you. You agree that Vast’s obligation to provide Services is conditioned upon your providing all information and assistance reasonably required to perform the Services and you hereby agree to timely provide all such information and assistance. Vast reserves the right to reclaim any dial-in numbers at any time. You acknowledge that not all Services can be guaranteed from all locations including, but not limited to via mobile telephones, pay phones or satellite phones due to various in-country, carrier or other restrictions.

If you are ordering these Services on behalf of your organization, you are confirming you have authority to do so and your organization will be bound by the below Terms of Service.

Vast reserves the right to modify the Terms of Service at any time. You should check these Terms of Service periodically for changes. In case of any material change to these Terms of Service, we will replace the “Terms of Service” link on the home page of our sites with a link entitled “Updated Terms of Service” for no less than 30 days. By using Vast’s websites and/or Services after we post any changes to these Terms of Service, you agree to accept those changes, whether or not you have reviewed them. For products and services purchased or utilized from Vast or third parties through this website, the version of these Terms of Service that were posted at the time of purchase or utilization apply (including but not limited to any specific terms related to amending these Terms of Service) until the end of your applicable subscription (and any renewal or extension will be governed by the Terms of Service posted at the time of such renewal or extension). Vast’s Privacy Policy is incorporated into this Agreement and shall be considered part of these Terms of Service.

Any attempt by you to supplement or modify this Agreement will be considered an attempted material alteration of this Agreement and such attempted material alteration is therefore null and void.

Section 1: Term

The price at which the Service is offered by Vast will vary. You understand and agree that prices are subject to Service provided and location of such Services, in which pricing may vary. All stated prices are exclusive of any taxes, regulatory fees, banking costs, fees and duties, or other amounts which you may be responsible to pay. Vast shall also be entitled to recover from you any and all Universal Service Fund (USF) contributions (including any USF administrative fees) which may be imposed on Vast by any federal, state and/or local government or taxing authority in connection with your use of the Services. Vast reserves the right to modify its fees and charges and to introduce new charges at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vast may terminate or suspend services at Vast’s discretion. You agree that Vast will not be liable to you or any third-party if Vast suspends or terminates your access to the Services for any reason.

Section 2: Fees and Payment

By using the Vast Services, you agree to pay for all Service usage and subscriptions at the rates provided by Vast or its agents and resellers. Applicable fees will apply starting from the day your Services are established. All invoices will be sent electronically to your submitted primary email address and are due according to invoice terms. If payment is not received the account could be subject to a late payment fee. Services can be canceled for nonpayment of invoice. Vast reserves the right to correct and receive payment for any errors on its charges for up to two years after the date of the incorrect charge.

Section 3: Subscription Fees and Credit Card Charges

a) General: Subject to the above Terms, for any Services you pay by credit card, Vast may charge your credit card for any and all Service usage charges and send a statement to your address or email on record.

Monthly and annual subscription Service fees are charged to the subscriber’s credit card on file on the date the account was created and are non-refundable. All subscriptions are automatically renewed under the previously agreed terms, but at the then- current renewal price for the applicable Vast Conference subscription plan, except as otherwise noted in herein, unless Vast receives prior notice from you. All subscription changes and account cancellations must be completed from within your account online using the administration portal.

b) Annual Subscription Plans: The annual subscription plan fees associated with Vast’s annual subscription plans for the Services represent payment for twelve consecutive months of Service which begin on the date of the start of your initial subscription (“Annual Activation Date”) for your account. The fees for any additional or subsequent annual subscription plans added to your account will be prorated from the initial Annual Activation Date in the event of a partial contract year and will end on the next anniversary of the initial Annual Activation Date. You will be responsible for any additional charges for services or usage not covered by the plan, billed on a monthly basis. If you cancel the Service prior to the end of the annual period, you will not receive a refund or credit for the unused portion of your billing period, unless you cancel within an applicable Free Trial Period (as described below), as described herein. At the next anniversary of your Annual Activation Date, your Service will automatically renew for a subsequent twelve-month period at the then- current renewal price for the selected Vast Conference annual subscription plan, unless you choose to switch to an alternate subscription plan or cancel Service within 30 days prior to the anniversary of the Annual Activation Date.

c) Free Trial Period: From time to time, Vast may allow users to subscribe pursuant to a promotional offer granting a free trial for Service (“Free Trial”). Free Trial subscribers will receive free use of the Service solely for a limited period of time and all use of the Service shall be subject to the terms herein, plus all other restrictions, limitations and conditions identified in the specific promotional offer.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, all Free Trial subscriptions are provided solely as an accommodation to the subscriber, and Vast reserves the right, at all times in its sole discretion, to terminate any Free Trial at any time without notice. Once the Free Trial period expires, the subscriber will be ineligible to subsequently establish another Free Trial account under the same or any other identity, unless expressly permitted to do so under the terms of a specific promotional offer.

d) Vast Discretion not to renew a Subscription: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Vast reserves the right to end the automatic renewal or extension of any of its subscriptions in its sole discretion.

Section 4: Suspension of Services

In the event that payment is not received from you for Services rendered, without notice, Vast shall have the right to suspend all or any portion of Services to you. Vast may continue suspension, or at its discretion terminate you as a user, until such time as you paid all amounts due. Vast reserves the right to cancel Services, without notice to you, should Vast perceive fraud is occurring. Vast may immediately suspend all Services, in whole or in part, if Vast determines that providing such Services pursuant to this Agreement violates any local, state or federal laws or regulations.
