Cordless will endeavour to provide advance notice to Customer where practicable and carry out such maintenance, where possible, outside of regular business hours. The Services are designed to be available with minimal disruptions outside of regularly scheduled maintenance times. Cordless may modify, enhance and/or replace features of the Services from time to time, with or without notice or posting to the Site, provided it shall not materially reduce the key functions, features and/or the security of the Services during the Term (as defined below) without obtaining Customer’s written pre-approval except Customer’s written pre-approval shall not be required in the event such modifications, enhancements or replacements are mandated by applicable Law.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that the standard functioning of the Services is dependent on Customer maintaining adequate access to the Internet, the availability of an adequate power supply and the use of correct equipment configuration. Customer also acknowledges and agrees that a number of factors outside of Cordless’s control may impact the quality of Customer’s communications and the access and/use of the Services including Customer’s local network, public Internet lines, the public switched telephone network, Customer’s Internet service provider and/or local network hardware. Cordless takes no responsibility and shall not be liable for any disruption, interruption or delay caused by any failure in any of these items or any other item over which Cordless has no control.

Such rules and regulatory practices may change or be amended from time to time, and Cordless therefore reserves the right to modify the terms hereunder to the extent necessary to comply with such changes or amendments. Customer shall use the Cordless Numbers in compliance with any and all applicable Law including such applicable allocation requirements. Cordless reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel the subscribed Cordless Numbers for any or no reason, including in the event Customer, its Administrators and/or Users breach such applicable allocation requirements without penalty and without prejudice to its rights to claim damages therefore.

7.6 Cordless reserves the right to modify, change, or adjust the prices of the phone numbers and the rates for minutes used at any time without prior notice.

By continuing to use the services after price changes are implemented, customers agree to be bound by such changes.

During the Term of this Agreement the Confidential Information will be kept confidential by the Receiving Party and will not be disclosed to any other person, provided that each Party may disclose Confidential Information to its Affiliates, and its and their employees, agents, advisors and subcontractors who have a need to know, access and/or use the Confidential Information in order to perform or exercise such Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement and who are required to protect it against unauthorised disclosure in a manner no less protective than required under this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall use the same care and discretion, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care and discretion, to avoid disclosure as it uses with its own similar information that it does not wish to disclose, to safeguard the Confidential Information from unauthorised disclosure.
8.2 Exceptions. The term Confidential Information does not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives (as defined below) in violation of the terms hereof; (ii) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source that is not known to the Receiving Party to be prohibited by a contractual, legal, or fiduciary obligation to the Disclosing Party from disclosing such information to the Receiving Party; (iii) is independently developed, conceived, or discovered by the Receiving Party or its Representatives; or (iv) is already known to the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives prior to disclosure of the same to the Receiving Party or its Representatives by the Disclosing Party or the Disclosing Party’s Representatives.

Cordless shall engage sub-processors under a written agreement with obligations equivalent to those set out under GDPR. Cordless may engage Sub-Processors that are based outside of the United Kingdom and the European Union. In these cases, Cordless will ensure to put appropriate safeguards in place for the processing of Personal Data outside of the European Union, including the use of standard contractual clauses or similar mechanisms (e.g. a potential successor to the Privacy Shield framework).

Cordless offers a cloud-based calling system with conversation intelligence that includes call handling and that integrates with a growing list of third-party applications not affiliated with Cordless.
3. Quality, Maintenance and Accessibility
3.1 General Terms. Cordless may be required to suspend access and/or use of Services and/or the Site to enable maintenance, improvements, upgrading operations of the Services and/or Site, including in the event of an emergency. Cordless will endeavour to provide advance notice to Customer where practicable and carry out such maintenance, where possible, outside of regular business hours. The Services are designed to be available with minimal disruptions outside of regularly scheduled maintenance times. Cordless may modify, enhance and/or replace features of the Services from time to time, with or without notice or posting to the Site, provided it shall not materially reduce the key functions, features and/or the security of the Services during the Term (as defined below) without obtaining Customer’s written pre-approval except Customer’s written pre-approval shall not be required in the event such modifications, enhancements or replacements are mandated by applicable Law.
3.2 Equipment Requirements. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the standard functioning of the Services is dependent on Customer maintaining adequate access to the Internet, the availability of an adequate power supply and the use of correct equipment configuration. Customer also acknowledges and agrees that a number of factors outside of Cordless’s control may impact the quality of Customer’s communications and the access and/use of the Services including Customer’s local network, public Internet lines, the public switched telephone network, Customer’s Internet service provider and/or local network hardware. Cordless takes no responsibility and shall not be liable for any disruption, interruption or delay caused by any failure in any of these items or any other item over which Cordless has no control.
3.3. Cordless is not responsible for any breach of security caused by Customer’s failure to maintain the confidentiality and security of any of the Login Details. Customer agrees to notify Cordless immediately in the event of loss, theft or disclosure of any or all of the Login Details, if Customer believes the confidentiality or security of any or all of the Login Details has been compromised in any way or in the event of Customer learning about a possible or actual unauthorised access to and/or use of the Site and/or the Services. To the extent permissible by Law, Customer shall be liable for any and all expenses, damages, losses and costs, including reporting costs, notice costs, recovery and remediation of data security system issues, usage charges and fines, fees, civil judgments, and reasonable attorneys’ fees resulting from Customer’s failure to safeguard Customer’s Login Details and information and data as set forth herein.
4. Intellectual Property
4.1 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall cause the ownership of any Intellectual Property Rights belonging to one party to be transferred to the other.
4.2 Cordless and/or its licensors shall, as between the parties, remain the owner of all Intellectual Property Rights in Cordless's brands, trademarks and logos, the Service (including Cordless Content but excluding the Customer Data) and the Software. Except as expressly permitted between the Parties in writing, the Customer may not use any of Cordless’s Intellectual Property Rights without Cordless’s prior written consent.
4.3 Customer shall promptly bring to the attention of Cordless any improper or wrongful use of any Intellectual Property Rights of Cordless which comes to Customer’s notice. You shall assist Cordless in taking all steps to defend Cordless's Intellectual Property Rights, but not institute legal proceedings of Your own accord.
4.4 Customer shall remain the owner of all Intellectual Property Rights in the Customer Data. You grant to Cordless, free of charge, a royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to use the Customer Data only to such extent as is necessary to enable Cordless to provide the Service and to perform its obligations under these Terms and Conditions. Customer warrants that they own the Customer Data and/or are otherwise entitled to grant the foregoing licence. If these Terms and Conditions are terminated, the foregoing licence will automatically terminate.
4.5 Customer may decide in their sole discretion to integrate the Services with the Integrations. Such Integrations are not Cordless products, and all use of Integrations is solely between Customer and the applicable third party. If an Integration is enabled from Customers’ Cordless workspace, Customer should be mindful of any Customer Data and/or Customer Confidential Information that will be shared with the third party provider and the purposes for which the provider requires access. Customer warrants and represents that that it has obtained all necessary consents and licences to transfer Customer Data from the Services to the Integrations and/or from the Integrations to the Services and that it shall be solely responsible for the processing and use of such data by the Integrations in accordance with applicable laws. Cordless will not be responsible for any use, disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Data and/or Customer Confidential Information that is transmitted to, or accessed by, an Integration.
5. Permissible Use Policy

Wherever reasonably possible, Cordless will provide Customer with a written notice before taking any such action, and may allow a reasonable period to allow Customer to modify such use. The restrictions contained in this Section 5 are not exhaustive or exclusive. Cordless may impose additional restrictions upon notice or posting to the Site from time to time. Cordless may suspend or terminate the Services and/or this Agreement in Cordless’s sole discretion, Customer’s, its Users’ and/or Administrator’s use of the Services violates the terms of the PUP. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement and in addition thereto, Customer’s use of the call recording functionality must comply with any and all local laws and regulations including local notice requirements.
6. Cordless Numbers
6.1 Usage Rules. As part of the Services, Cordless may make available Cordless Numbers to Customer in multiple countries. Cordless has agreements in place with regulated providers of electronic communications which provide Cordless with phone numbers from multiple countries. The provision of Cordless Numbers is subject to the numbering rules and regulatory practices applicable in the countries where Customer, Users and/or Administrators are located as well as in the relevant country(ies) from which the Cordless Numbers were purchased. Such rules and regulatory practices may change or be amended from time to time, and Cordless therefore reserves the right to modify the terms hereunder to the extent necessary to comply with such changes or amendments. Customer shall use the Cordless Numbers in compliance with any and all applicable Law including such applicable allocation requirements. Cordless reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel the subscribed Cordless Numbers for any or no reason, including in the event Customer, its Administrators and/or Users breach such applicable allocation requirements without penalty and without prejudice to its rights to claim damages therefore.
7. Pricing & Invoicing
7.1 Free Trial. The Customer may elect to try the Services for a period agreed in the Order form from the Effective Date. At the end of the Free Trial period, Customer may purchase additional products and services not included in the Free Trial.

7.4 Adding Users. Should you add any additional user(s) to your subscription during a billing cycle, you will be charged a full month's subscription fee for each added user, regardless of when in the billing cycle the user is added.
7.5 Removal of Users. Upon the removal of a user, billing for the current month will still be applied, reflecting the user's access to the service within the period. Charges pertaining to the removed user will cease in the subsequent billing cycle, and no further fees will be incurred from the next month onwards.
7.6 Cordless reserves the right to modify, change, or adjust the prices of the phone numbers and the rates for minutes used at any time without prior notice. This may reflect changes in market conditions, cost of providing the service, or other business considerations. Customers acknowledge and agree that the prices for phone numbers and minute usage rates may vary and accept responsibility for checking the current pricing as published on our website or as notified through the service interface. By continuing to use the services after price changes are implemented, customers agree to be bound by such changes.
8. Confidentiality
8.1 Non-Disclosure. During the Term of this Agreement the Confidential Information will be kept confidential by the Receiving Party and will not be disclosed to any other person, provided that each Party may disclose Confidential Information to its Affiliates, and its and their employees, agents, advisors and subcontractors who have a need to know, access and/or use the Confidential Information in order to perform or exercise such Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement and who are required to protect it against unauthorised disclosure in a manner no less protective than required under this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall use the same care and discretion, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care and discretion, to avoid disclosure as it uses with its own similar information that it does not wish to disclose, to safeguard the Confidential Information from unauthorised disclosure.
8.2 Exceptions. The term Confidential Information does not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives (as defined below) in violation of the terms hereof; (ii) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source that is not known to the Receiving Party to be prohibited by a contractual, legal, or fiduciary obligation to the Disclosing Party from disclosing such information to the Receiving Party; (iii) is independently developed, conceived, or discovered by the Receiving Party or its Representatives; or (iv) is already known to the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives prior to disclosure of the same to the Receiving Party or its Representatives by the Disclosing Party or the Disclosing Party’s Representatives.

9.5 You agree that in order to provide the Service, Cordless may engage sub-processors from time to time. At Customer’s request, Cordless shall provide details of such sub-processors and any changes to the identity of a sub-processor. Cordless shall engage sub-processors under a written agreement with obligations equivalent to those set out under GDPR. Cordless may engage Sub-Processors that are based outside of the United Kingdom and the European Union. In these cases, Cordless will ensure to put appropriate safeguards in place for the processing of Personal Data outside of the European Union, including the use of standard contractual clauses or similar mechanisms (e.g. a potential successor to the Privacy Shield framework).

Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim. The illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms of Use will not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision.

17. General Provisions
Customer and Cordless are independent contractors and this Agreement will not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency between Customer and Cordless. Cordless’s failure or delay in exercising any right herein will not operate as a waiver, nor will any single or partial exercise preclude any other or future exercise or the exercise of any other right herein. This Agreement, together with any Order Form(s), Purchases, exhibits and/or schedules, each of which is expressly incorporated into this Agreement with this reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes and replaces any and all prior or contemporaneous understandings, proposals, representations, marketing materials, statements, or agreements, whether oral, written, or otherwise, regarding such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of an Order Form, the terms of the Order Form shall prevail. Sections 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, and 18 included shall survive termination of this Agreement. Cordless reserves the right to refuse to provide the Services at its sole discretion to any Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of Customer, each Order Form may be signed by Customer or any of its Affiliates, provided Customer will remain jointly and severally liable for any and all actions or omissions of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement. Customer may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without Cordless’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Customer may assign this Agreement to (i) its Affiliates, and (ii) an entity in which the Customer may be merged or consolidated, or which purchases all or substantially all assets or equity interest of the assigning party. The assignee or transferee will assume all of the rights and obligations of the assignor or transferor under the Agreement and will be deemed the signatory of the Agreement without any further changes or amendment.
