The FAX SERVICE

The fax service provides you with the capability to send and receive fax documents using electronic mail (“email”) pursuant to the terms set forth herein (the “Fax Service”).  As part of the registration process, you shall be required to provide an email address.  You are responsible for (1) maintaining the confidentiality of your password, fax service number and account information, (2) for all individual end users who access and/or use the Fax Service through your account, and (3) any activities that occur through your account.  Your right to use the Fax Service is personal to you and you agree not to resell the use of the Fax Service.

The Fax Service is provided to you by j2 Cloud Services, Inc. and/or j2 Global Ireland Limited, (individually and collectively, “j2”).  All parties to this agreement agree that j2 shall be and is hereby named an express third-party beneficiary of this agreement, and this agreement confers rights and remedies upon j2.  Nitel, Inc. and j2 are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Service Providers”.  Each Service Provider reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Fax Service at any time.  Service Providers shall not be liable to you or any third party should any Service Provider exercise its right to modify or discontinue the Fax Service.  Upon termination of the Fax Service or this agreement, your right to use the Fax Service immediately ceases and Service Providers will have no obligation to forward any unread or unsent messages.

THE FAX SERVICE USAGE TERMS

You may receive and send up to 100 total fax pages within any monthly billing period, regardless of whether you are issued a local or a toll-free eFax Number. Faxes received or sent in excess of the 100 total page limit are charged at $0.10 (or the local currency equivalent) per page.  For sending only, the 100 total fax pages and the per page usage fees set forth above apply only to faxes sent within the 50 United States.  For faxes sent outside the 50 United States, pricing varies based on location as set forth on the pricing page of the eFax.com website.

Most fax pages take less than sixty (60) seconds to transmit. However, for each transmission, the number of pages sent or received is calculated based on the greater of the actual number of pages or the number of full and partial 60-second increments of transmission or connection time, whether or not the transmission occurs or is completed (such as instances when someone answers the call or transmission is interrupted before completion). For example, a one-page fax with a transmission duration of 30 seconds is recognized as one page; and a one-page fax with a transmission duration of one minute and six seconds is recognized as two pages.

Unused inbound or outbound fax pages are valid in the month issued and expire at the conclusion of each applicable monthly billing period. Inbound or outbound fax pages have no cash value. Unused fax pages do not roll over to the next monthly billing period, and you will receive no cash refund in the event any unused fax pages remain in your account upon termination or closure of your account.

FAX STORAGE

If you elect to have storage for your Fax Service, j2 will store fax messages received through your eFax Number. The Administrator has the ability to set the retention period for stored faxes, measured from the date of receipt of such fax. You may access these faxes through the online eFax Message Center. You acknowledge that the Service Providers may change its practices and limitations concerning storage of fax messages, including without limitation, the maximum number of days that fax messages will be retained, the maximum number of messages stored at any one time, and the maximum storage space that will be allotted on j2’s servers on your behalf, at any time. You further agree that, subject to applicable law, the Service Providers have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the storage, deletion of, or failure to store any fax messages and/or other communications maintained or transmitted by the Fax Service.

You further agree not to use the Fax Service to store (1) any “protected health information” (as such term is used in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-191), or (2) any other type of information that imposes independent obligations upon j2.

FAX SEARCH

If you have elected to have storage for your Fax Service, j2 will scan, perform optical character recognition and index the text of fax messages received through your eFax Number. The indexed text of these faxes will be searchable through the online eFax Corporate Message Center for as long as the faxes are stored there. The Service Providers may also offer other features and functionality from time to time. You acknowledge that the Service Providers may change its practices and limitations concerning the search and indexing capabilities of fax messages, including without limitation, the features and functionality, at any time. You further agree that, subject to applicable law, the Service Providers have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the searching or indexing of or failure to search or index any fax messages and/or other communications maintained or transmitted by the Fax Service.

However, Service Providers reserve the right to take any action with respect to the Fax Service that Service Providers deem necessary or appropriate in Service Providers’ sole discretion if Service Providers believe you or your information may create liability for Service Providers, compromise or disrupt the Fax Service for you or other subscribers to the Fax Service, or may cause Service Providers to lose (in whole or in part) the services of the ISPs or other suppliers of Service Providers.
