The Company’s provision of Company Services to Customer for either one (1) month, one (1) quarter, or one (1) year will constitute one "Billing Cycle". Monthly billing cycles will begin on the first day, and end on the last day, of each month. All other Billing Cycles will begin on the date that payment is first received and automatically renew each subsequent period either monthly, quarterly or annually as stated on the invoice. The Billing Cycle will continue to renew each period as stated on the invoice until the Company receives a "Cancellation Request" from Customer in accordance with this TOU. The first Billing Cycle for Customer’s Account will commence on the day that the Company receives Customer’s Sign-Up Form. If the Company receives the Sign-Up Form on or after the first day of month, then the Company may pro-rate accordingly the charges and fees for that month. The Company reserves the right to modify the Billing Cycle, at any time and without prior notice, so that Customer may be billed or invoiced for Company Services more or less frequently. Any period during which Customer’s account is suspended or on hold will be included in the Billing Cycle.
    2. Payment Due. Customer must ensure that the Company receives full payment for Company Services before the beginning of each Billing Cycle, including the initial Billing Cycle. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that the Company receives payment before the applicable due date. The Company may, at its sole discretion, decide not to provide Customer with Company Services until the Company receives full payment in advance.

If Customer is paying by check or money order, the payment must be sent to the Company’s address as it appears on the Web Site. The Company will charge Customer a twenty-five U.S. dollar fee for processing each check or money order (or any other manual payment method), as well as a thirty-five U.S. dollar (US$35.00) service charge for each check that is not honored or for each credit card payment that is charged back.
    4. Overages. The Company may charge Customer for any "Overages," which includes excessive telephone sign-in use. Customer is solely responsible for preventing any and all Overages on a daily basis. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Company has no obligation to warn Customer about any pending or actual Overage.

    6. Penalties for Delinquent Customer’s Account. A Customer’s Account that is Delinquent may be put on hold and Customer may be prevented from using Customer’s Account. A Delinquent Customer’s Account that is unpaid for an entire Billing Cycle may, at the Company’s sole discretion, have any or all files archived, purged, or otherwise deleted. Customer’s Account will continue to accrue charges (including interest charges) while Customer’s Account is on hold.

Customer is solely responsible for any and all other taxes, which Customer is under a legal obligation to pay.

  9. SHIPPING AND RISKS DURING SHIPPING. When products are shipped to you by common carrier the Company's liability to you for lost or stolen shipments, breakage and/or non-delivery of the product by the common carrier will be limited by the limits of liability provided by the common carrier's terms and conditions of carriage. You may wish to purchase insurance from loss or breakage during carriage for full insurable value of the products you have ordered by making the appropriate requests when placing your order.

  10. LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY.

The rights and liabilities of both Customer and the Company (collectively "the Parties") under the TOU will bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties’ respective successors, executors, and administrators, as the case may be. However, Customer may not assign or delegate Customer’s rights or obligations under the TOU, Sign-Up Form, or other agreement for Company Services executed between the Parties, either in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Company.
    2. Bound as Principal. Customer agrees that Customer will always be bound as a principal to the TOU even if any contract or service agreement is executed by an agent of Customer.

  15. MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT
    1. Customer’s Warranty. Customer represents and warrants that Customer is at least 18 years of age.
    2. Parent or Guardian. Customer understands and acknowledges that any individual under the age of 18 years ("Minor") must have a parent or guardian accept the TOU in order for the Minor to become a Customer.
    3. Parent or Guardian Primarily Liable. A parent or guardian who accepts the TOU on behalf of a Minor will be primarily liable for ensuring complete and proper compliance with the TOU, including the timely and full payment of the charges for Company Services.
    4. Continuation of Parent or Guardian’s Liability. A parent or guardian who accepts the TOU on behalf of a Minor will continue to be primarily liable for the obligations mentioned in the TOU even when the Minor has attained the age of 18, unless the parent or guardian obtains the Company’s express written consent to the contrary.
    5. Invalid Acceptance (Null & Void). ANY ACCEPTANCE OF THE TOU BY AN INDIVIDUAL UNDER THE AGE OF 18 (MINOR) WILL BE DEEMED INVALID AND THE TOU WILL BE DEEMED NULL AND VOID AS BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE MINOR TO THE EXTENT THAT THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE IN ANY WAY AS A RESULT OF THE MINOR’S AGE OR LEGAL INCAPACITY OR THE MINOR’S USE OF THE COMPANY SERVICES.

  16. GOVERNING LAW AND SEVERABILITY
    Any agreement, including the TOU, Sign-Up Form, or other agreement for Company Services, between the Company and Customer, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada without reference to its conflicts of laws principles. Customer agrees that any litigation or arbitration between Customer and the Company will take place in such jurisdiction, and Customer consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in that jurisdiction. If any provision or portion of the agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of that agreement will continue in full force and effect.


  17. FORCE MAJEURE
    Customer understands, acknowledges, and agrees that the Company will not be liable for delays in its performance of the TOU, Sign-Up Form, or other agreement for Company Services caused by circumstances beyond the Company’s reasonable control, including acts of God, wars, insurrection, civil commotions, riots, national disasters, earthquakes, strikes, fires, floods, water damage, explosions, shortages of labor or materials, labor disputes, transportation problems, accidents, embargoes, or governmental restrictions (collectively "Force Majeure"). The Company will make reasonable efforts to reduce to a minimum and mitigate the effect of any Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere herein, lack of finances will not be considered an event of Force Majeure nor will any event of Force Majeure suspend any obligation of Customer for the payment of money due hereunder.


  18. WAIVER, MODIFICATION, & AMENDMENT
    Any waiver, modification, or amendment of any provision of the TOU, Sign-Up Form, or other agreement for Company Services, initiated by Customer, will be effective only if accepted in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company.


  19. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS
    Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as creating a partnership or relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, partnership or joint venture between the Parties. Each Party will be deemed an independent contractor at all times and will have no right or authority to assume or create any obligation on behalf of the other Party, except as may be expressly provided herein.


  20. CONSTRUCTION & INTERPRETATION
    Wherever in this TOU the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender is used, it will be construed as including all genders, and wherever the singular is used, it will be deemed to include the plural and vice versa, where the context so requires. The term "including," wherever used in any provision of the TOU, means "including but without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term." The division of the TOU into sections/paragraphs, and the insertion of headings/captions, are for convenience of reference only and will not affect the construction or interpretation of the TOU. Any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguity is to be resolved against the drafting party will not be applicable in the construction or interpretation of the TOU.


  21. COMPLETE AGREEMENT & EXCLUSIVITY
    The TOU, in addition to the Sign-Up Form and any other specific agreement for Company Services between the Company and Customer, and including the recitals contained in this TOU, constitute the complete understanding and agreement between Customer and the Company. Except when expressly agreed to the contrary in signed writing by an authorized representative of the Company, the TOU supersedes any other written (including digitized/computerized) agreement, oral agreement, and/or agreement by conduct. This TOU, the Sign-Up Form, or any other specific agreement for Company Services between the Company and Customer will each be exclusively between the Company and Customer only and will not confer any rights in any third party except as otherwise expressly provided in the TOU.


  22. INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE
    Customer represents and warrants that Customer has read this TOU thoroughly, has had sufficient opportunity to seek legal counsel or has waived such opportunity, and therefore clearly understands and agrees to all the terms and conditions contained in this TOU.

"My staff really enjoy your i-button system, they are so small and easy for them to carry around. Much better then our clumsy old swipe cards."
