2.4 Third Party Software

2.4.1 The 2Ring Product may contain third party software which requires notices and/or additional terms and conditions.  Such required third party software notices and/or additional terms and conditions are located in a text file called “legal_notices.txt” in the installation package of the 2Ring Product and are made a part of and incorporated by reference into this Agreement (these notices can also be reviewed at www.2Ring.com/LegalNotices).  By accepting this Agreement, Subscriber is also accepting such additional terms and conditions, if any, set forth therein. If Subscriber does not agree to such additional terms and conditions, Subscriber should not download, deploy, or use the 2Ring Product.  Certain items of independent, third-party code may be included in the 2Ring Product that are subject to the GNU General Public License (“GPL”) or other open source licenses (“Open Source Software”).  Such Open Source Software is licensed under the terms of the license that accompanies such Open Source Software.  Nothing in this Agreement limits Subscriber’s rights under, or grants Subscriber rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable Subscriber license for such Open Source Software.  In particular, nothing in this Agreement restricts Subscriber’s right to copy, modify, and distribute such Open Source Software that is subject to the terms of the GPL.

Further, 2Ring makes no representations or warranties regarding the integrity of data transmitted, transferred, stored, obtained or received through any such third party’s software or APIs. 2Ring is not obligated to maintain or support any such third party’s software or APIs, or to provide Subscriber with updates, fixes, or services related thereto.  2Ring makes no representations or warranties regarding the availability, functionality, or any changes to the features or specifications, of any such third party’s software or APIs.  Subscriber assumes all risk arising from the use of any such third party’s software or APIs, including, without limitation, the risk of damage to Subscriber’s computer system, software, the corruption or loss of data, and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations (such as, but not limited to, the laws and regulations related to privacy and data protection).

2.5 License Key File. 2Ring will issue a license key file (“License Key File”) to the Subscriber to activate the 2Ring Subscription.  If Subscriber purchases or renews its Subscription for fewer than the number of 2Ring Product seat licenses purchased during the previous Subscription Term, prior to making available any new release for the 2Ring Product to Subscriber during the then-current Subscription Term, 2Ring may issue Subscriber a new License Key File for the number of 2Ring Product seat licenses for which Subscriber has purchased or renewed the Subscription.  Subscriber shall have fifteen (15) days to activate the License Key File from 2Ring’s delivery of such License Key File to Subscriber, upon which Subscriber’s License Key File shall be deemed expired and Subscriber shall no longer access or use any 2Ring Product using such expired license keys.  If Subscriber does not activate the new License Key File within the fifteen (15) day period set forth above, 2Ring may, at its option (a) terminate the Subscription and this Agreement, without further obligation or liability to Subscriber except refunding to, at 2Ring’s option, the applicable Authorized Reseller or Subscriber, any unused subscription fees paid in advance to 2Ring for the renewed Subscription Term relating to the reduced number of 2Ring Product seat licenses, or (b) subject to Subscriber’s immediate payment of applicable subscription fees based on the number of Subscriber’s 2Ring Product seat licenses under the License Key File for the previous Subscription Term, continue providing the Subscription to Subscriber under the renewed Subscription Term. 

2.6 Prior 2Ring Product Agreement. If Subscriber purchased 2Ring Product licenses under any other agreement with 2Ring (the “Prior 2Ring Product Agreement”), by accepting this Agreement, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Prior 2Ring Product Agreement, including all licenses or rights granted to Subscriber thereunder, is hereby mutually terminated by Subscriber and 2Ring, effective as of the Subscription Commencement Date, without any liability to, or obligation upon, 2Ring, and (b) the use of any 2Ring Products in Subscriber’s possession or control from the Subscription Commencement Date will be superseded by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, in accordance with Section 2.5 of this Agreement, 2Ring will issue Subscriber a new License Key File for the number of 2Ring Product seat licenses for which Subscriber has purchased the Subscription hereunder.

4.2 Support Hours. 2Ring allocates a certain number of man-hours towards providing Support under each subscription as described in the table below and set forth in the applicable order form for your Subscription accepted by 2Ring (“Support Hours”):

Upon expiration of the then-current Subscription Term, any unused Support Hours may be carried over to the next Subscription Term provided Subscriber has paid the applicable subscription fees within sixty (60) days following such expiration.  Expired or unused Support Hours are non-refundable and non-returnable. 

4.3 Fair Use Policy. In order to maintain a good level of service for all subscription customers, Support requested by, and provided to, each subscriber is subject to a fair use policy as reasonably determined by 2Ring.  The intended purpose of Support Hours is to train the Subscriber with respect to the use of the 2Ring Product and to help the Subscriber to initially configure their 2Ring Product and to keep it updated and working properly. Support Hours is not intended as outsourced labor nor does it have any value in and of itself, and Subscriber is ultimately responsible for, ongoing configurations, management, and/or use of the 2Ring Product, including its functions and features.  2Ring may limit Support or terminate the Subscription if Subscriber uses Support in an improper, abusive, or fraudulent manner such as, but not limited to, Subscriber placing a high number of calls that concern previously resolved issues, repeated requests for Support for questions to which the answer is readily found in the 2Ring Documentation, and any inquiries or requests relating to issues that are not related to Support.  

4.4 Performance. 2Ring shall not be obligated to provide any services to Subscriber, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.  Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement obligates 2Ring to provide any services on-site at Subscriber’s or its Affiliates’ premises. 2Ring will perform the services in a professional and workmanlike manner.  2Ring may utilize its Affiliates, and 2Ring’s and its Affiliates’ employees and subcontractors to perform the services.  2Ring’s entire liability, and Subscriber’s sole and exclusive remedy, for any service performance issues will be limited to the re-performance of the applicable service at no additional cost to Subscriber. Subscriber shall provide all the necessary cooperation to resolve Support requests as described in the SLA Policy for 2Ring Subscriptions.

4.5 Exclusions. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Support will not be provided for (each, an “Exclusion”): (a) any 2Ring Product which has been altered or modified by anyone other than by 2Ring; (b) any use of the 2Ring Product not in accordance with the license expressly granted to Subscriber or the 2Ring Documentation (including, without limitation, installation of the 2Ring Product on third party software or hardware not conforming to the operating environment specified in the 2Ring Documentation) or use of the 2Ring Product on a system other than the designated system for which the 2Ring Product was licensed; (c) if Subscriber fails to install and implement the most recent release of the 2Ring Product made available to it by 2Ring; (d) if Subscriber’s system or the 2Ring Product does not conform to the release level necessary to support the 2Ring Product; or (e) any issues relating to: (i) the availability and operations of any hardware in use by Subscriber; (ii) availability and operations of any third party software; (iii) network connectivity; or (iv) bandwidth between 2Ring Products and any third party software with which 2Ring Products communicate through APIs or other integration.

The subscription fee is due upfront for Subscribers who pay 2Ring directly.  Any additional license units or service levels purchased by Subscriber shall be prorated for the then-current Subscription Term and shall be subject to renewal concurrently with the renewal of the 2Ring Subscription purchased by Subscriber. Once an order form is submitted to 2Ring, it is non-cancelable and the sums paid nonrefundable, except as provided in this Agreement or in the applicable order form.  There will be no refunds for decreases in Subscription usage, whether that relates to the number of seat licenses used or the use of available Support Hours or otherwise.  If  Subscriber is unable or unwilling to abide by the Subscription usage limits, Subscriber agrees to execute an order form with 2Ring or the applicable Authorized Reseller for additional quantities of the applicable licenses or services promptly upon request, and/or pay any invoice for excess usage in accordance with the then-current overage pricing, which Subscriber may ask to review at any time.

5.2 Payments. As applicable, the Authorized Reseller may choose to bill Subscriber themselves or require Subscriber to submit credit card information to 2Ring so that 2Ring may charge Subscriber’s credit card.  If Subscriber is required to submit credit card information to 2Ring, Subscriber is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing, credit card, and contact information and notifying 2Ring of any changes to such information.  If Subscriber provides credit card information, Subscriber authorizes a charge to Subscriber’s credit card for the 2Ring Subscription, including additional service levels, Subscriber purchases as listed in the order form for the initial Subscription Term, renewal Subscription Term(s), and when Subscriber exceeds Subscription usage limits. 

5.3 Overdue Charges. If 2Ring does not receive any amount owed by the due date, then, without limiting 2Ring’s rights or remedies, those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.  If payment is late by thirty (30) days or more, 2Ring may terminate Subscriber’s 2Ring Subscription and begin collection efforts.

5.4 Taxes. Subscription fees payable to 2Ring do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any state or other taxing authority whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”).
