If Mediatel discovers you are engaging in Fraudulent Activity in relation to its services, Mediatel may immediately take any or all of the following actions:
Mediatel shall pay the Customer in respect of calls to allocated Numbers according to the Rates defined in the Order Confirmations. Payment will be made at the date set forth in the Order Confirmation.
All Rates mentioned are exclusive of value added tax (“VAT”), with the exception of the information about caller Rates, which normally are inclusive VAT.
In the case of premium rate Numbers being ordered, Mediatel will pay out the rate agreed upon. Setup costs, monthly fees, routing costs, chargebacks and other costs (if applicable) will be deducted from the monthly payment. If the payout is lower than the costs billed the Customer agrees to pay the difference within 10 days of the issue of the invoice.
Mediatel reserves the right to cut or delay the payout if there are chargebacks pending or foreseeable and to change the pricing and Rates mentioned in this document or in annexes or confirmations thirty (30) days after written notice is provided to the Customer. If retrospective price changes are implanted by the network provider that result in Mediatel having effectively overpaid the Customer, then Mediatel reserves the right to deduct amounts from subsequent payouts to address the balance of payments overpaid during the period affected by the retrospective changes.
Mediatel will not pay the Customer for Traffic which is not paid by the Carrier for any reason. For instances where this applies, appropriate written documents must be produced by Mediatel to prove this.
This Agreement shall commence from the date hereof and shall remain in force until either party submits a written notice of termination of at least ninety (90) days in advance. Either party may terminate or suspend this Agreement at any time by giving written notice to the other where either party has committed a breach of this Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within 30 days of receipt of notice requiring to do so. Mediatel may immediately terminate this Agreement if there is adverse publicity against Mediatel in connection with the Customer’s services or the Customer engages in Fraudulent Activity.
Termination, suspension, or expiry of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any of each party’s respective rights and obligations accruing up to and including the date of such termination, suspension or expiry.
Neither party shall be held to be in breach of its obligations under the Agreement nor be liable to the other party for any loss or damage that may be suffered by the other party due to force majeure.
This Agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties in relation to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior Agreement, representations or understandings by either party whether oral or written.
Failure by either party to exercise or enforce any right conferred by the Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any such right nor operate so as to bar the exercise or enforcement thereof or any other right on any later occasion.
The service, its operation, its use and the results of such use shall be performed in a workmanlike manner. To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, Mediatel disclaims all warranties express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for an particular purpose, in relation to the service, its use and the results of such use. Without limiting the foregoing, Mediatel specifically disclaims any warranty
Any notice, other document which may be given under the Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly given if left at or sent by mail to the usual or last place of business of the recipient party. This is applicable also to notices, invoices or other documents sent to the Customer’s Secured E-mail Address.
The parties’ respective Intellectual Property Rights shall remain the property of whichever creates or owns the same and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any assignment or licence of the Intellectual Property Rights of the other party, save that the Intellectual Property Rights or goodwill in the Numbers shall hereby be vested in or assigned to Mediatel.
This Agreement shall be governed by English law (except for conflict of law provisions). The exclusive forum for any actions brought in connection with this Agreement shall be in England and the Customer consents to such jurisdiction.
