I. GENERAL.
This Agreement, between you ("Customer") and Adepto Telecom
sets forth the legal rights and obligations governing Adepto Telecom
provisions of communications services to you. Adepto Telecom shall provide
Customer with communications Services ("Services") preceding
these terms and conditions. Some Services offered by Adepto Telecom
under this Agreement, including but not limited to voice Services, are
offered pursuant to applicable tariffs ("Tariffed Services")
and incorporated herein. For Tariffed Services, in the event of a conflict
between this Agreement and a tariff, the tariff shall control.
Use of Services is limited to Customer, Customer's employees, and Customer's
consultants performing work for Customer (collectively, "End Users").
Customer shall promptly notify Adepto Telecom of any errors, "bugs,"
or problems with the Services of which Customer becomes aware. Notwithstanding
any term of this Agreement, Adepto Telecom shall not be liable to Customer
for any claim arising from or based upon the combination, operation
or use of the Services with equipment, data or programming not supplied
or certified by Adepto Telecom, or arising from any alteration or modification
of the Equipment. For Tariffed Services, Adepto Telecom must be provided
notice of any Service interruption as further set forth in the Limitation
of Liability Section and as provided in applicable tariffs.
Adepto Telecom retains the right to Change, increase or decrease from
time to time, in its sole discretion and without liability to Customer,
the methods, processes and/or the suppliers by which Adepto Telecom
provides Services to Customer; as well as to change, add to or delete
service offerings with appropriate notice to Customers.
II. PAYMENT.
All services are provided on a prepaid basis pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the applicable tariff(s) if any, and this Agreement.
III. Term/Service Commencement Date.
This Agreement shall be effective upon complete execution by the parties.
Adepto Telecom will notify Customer that the Services are installed
or connected and are available for use. The date of such notice shall
be the service commencement date ("Service Commencement Date").
If the service is not provided on a pre-paid basis billing will begin
on the date on which Adepto Telecom notifies the Customer that the requested
service or facility is available for use, unless the date is extended
by the Customer's refusal in writing to accept service which does not
conform to standards set forth in this Agreement or applicable tariff,
in which case the Service Commencement Date is the date of the Customer's
acceptance of service. The parties may mutually agree upon a substitute
Service Commencement Date. If Customer notifies Adepto Telecom in writing
that it is not prepared to utilize the service or facility after Adepto
Telecom has notified the Customer that the requested service or facility
is ready for use (for reasons other than those set forth above), Adepto
Telecom may begin billing the customer on the Service Commencement date.
Adepto Telecom may bill the customer for any costs it has incurred in
preparing its service for the original due date, as well as any costs
it will incur up until the date that the customer accepts service. Adepto
Telecom shall not be liable for any damages whatsoever resulting from
delays in meeting requested or specified service dates, or inability
to provide service. Customer agrees to cooperate with Adepto Telecom
to accomplish service activation by providing access to Customer's premises
and facilitating testing and service delivery requirements.
