Introduction

This Agreement sets out the terms on which Vonage agrees to provide its Vonage Business Phone System service and Vonage Business Cloud service ("Service") to you. This Agreement commences on the date that Vonage first accepts your order. Vonage may accept or reject your order in its sole discretion.

This Agreement comprises (i) these Terms of Service; (ii) our Privacy Policy; (iii) your order; and (iv) our Vonage Business Phone System and Vonage Business Cloud call plans as described in your order.

The expressions, "Vonage", "we" and "us" and "our" mean Vonage Australia PTY Limited ACN 153 693 326. The expressions "you" and "your" mean you, the business customer.

1. Essential Service Information: Over the top service

By signing up to the Service you understand and agree that the Service may not offer all of the features you may expect from a traditional phone line and may sometimes be unavailable as a result of things over which we have no control, for example, power disruptions and failures of your internet service provider (ISP) or (fixed or mobile) broadband connection. You must maintain your broadband connection in order to use the Service and you shall be responsible for all charges incurred in connection with your broadband connection arising from use of the Service thereon. Your attention is specifically drawn to the Critical Information Summary on our website at vonage.com.au, which describes the Service and its limitations.

2. Essential Service Information: Emergency call services

2.1 If the Service is fully operational, 000 emergency call services to police, fire and ambulance services can be accessed from within Australia. However, you understand and acknowledge that there may be some limitations regarding use of the 000 service as set out in this clause 2.

2.2 If you use the Service outside Australia you will not be able to call emergency services in the country where you are located. A line from another communications provider will be required to call emergency services outside Australia.

2.3 If there is a Service outage for any reason, such outage may prevent access to 000 dialling.

2.4 You must register with Vonage the primary physical location where you will be using the Service. Your initial primary physical location will be registered as a part of subscribing to the Service. It is your responsibility to notify us of any changes to your primary physical location in accordance with clause 4.16. If you do not notify us of changes, it may not be possible for emergency call service operators and authorities to identify your location when you dial 000.

2.5 Only location information of your primary physical location as notified to Vonage will be available to emergency services; extension information may not be available to emergency services. When you dial 000 you will need to state your location and phone number promptly and clearly, as emergency call service operators and authorities may not have this information.

2.6 Emergency call service operators and authorities may or may not be able to identify your phone number in order to call you back if the call is unable to be completed, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak to tell them your phone number and/or if the Service is not operational for any reason. Emergency call service operators and authorities may also not be able to hold your line open in the event you hang up.

2.7 You agree to inform potential users of the Service of the limitations set out in this clause 2 and you understand and accept that you and all potential users of the Service should always have an alternative means of accessing 000 emergency services.

2.8 If Vonage suspends the Service you will still be able to dial 000.

3. Essential Service Information: Number porting

3.1 In most circumstances, it will be possible for you to port your telephone number or numbers from Vonage to another provider.

3.2 If you wish to port your telephone number or numbers from Vonage to another provider, you must not terminate this Agreement and the Service until the number port is completed. You may lose your number or numbers if you terminate this Agreement and the Service before the number port is completed. Where you are porting your telephone number or numbers away from Vonage it is your responsibility to terminate this Agreement and the Service in accordance with clause 6.2. If you do not terminate this Agreement and the Service in accordance with clause 6.2 on completion of the number port, this Agreement and the Service will continue and you will remain responsible for the payment of all fees and charges under this Agreement for the full term of this Agreement or until this Agreement is otherwise terminated.

3.3 If you have any complaints in relation to porting, please see our Customer Complaints Code.

4.7 Without limiting clause 4.6, you may not use any automated means to manipulate the Service, use the Service to violate any law, rule, regulation or any third parties' intellectual property or personal rights or use the Service in a way that causes Vonage to breach any law, rule or regulation.

4.10 Some services we provide allow for the use of additional devices and clients (such as our softphone client, personal computers, mobile phones, and mobile client phone numbers registered with Vonage or other Equipment) as part of that service. If the Service permits use of more than one device or client with the same line, your usage will be aggregated and assessed when evaluating whether your usage is outside of Permitted Business Use.

4.11 You agree that the Service is for your own use in the course of your business only. You represent and warrant that you will be the ultimate end user of the Service. You will not in any way re-sell, re-supply, license, permit or otherwise allow any third party to use the Service without obtaining Vonage's prior written consent, which may be withheld or granted on such conditions as Vonage in its sole discretion determines.

Equipment

4.12 You agree that you will use all equipment supplied by Vonage to you, the usage of which may be charged to you on a monthly or other recurring basis, for the purpose of accessing the Service ("Equipment") exclusively in connection with the Service and that Vonage will not provide any passwords, codes or other information or assistance that would enable you to use the Equipment for any other purpose.

4.13 You must not reconfigure or tamper with the Equipment. The Equipment must be kept and used in strict accordance with instructions issued by the manufacturer or us, and provided to you, and must not be used in conjunction with other equipment not approved by the manufacturer or us.

4.15 If you decide to use the Service through an interface device not provided by Vonage (which Vonage reserves the right by notice to you to prohibit in particular cases or generally), you warrant and represent that you possess all required rights, including software and/or firmware licenses, to use that interface device with the Service and you will indemnify and hold harmless Vonage from and against any and all liability arising out of your use of such interface device not provided by Vonage with the Service.

5. Charges and Payment

When we will bill you and our fees and charges

5.1 Billing will commence on the date we activate the Service. Billing will not be delayed due to your readiness to accept or use the Service.

5.2 We publish all call plans, fees and charges (including details of shipping fees, activation fees, number change fees and applicable early termination charges) at www.vonage.com.au. If, at any time, the Service is affected or unavailable you will continue to be billed for the Service.

All subscription charges will be billed monthly in advance and all usage-based charges will be billed monthly in arrears. Any other fees and charges will be billed monthly in advance or in arrears, as notified by Vonage to you.

Invoices

5.4 Invoices and reports will be emailed to the account holder monthly. Each invoice is payable by you on the due date specified in the invoice, whether or not you receive or review that invoice. Vonage will not provide reminder emails notifying you that an invoice is available for review.

Payments

5.5 The only permissible method of payment for subscription and usage charges, applicable taxes and fees is by direct debit. The methods of payment of other fees and charges accepted by Vonage are set out on our website at www.vonage.com.au. If payment is accepted by credit card, we may charge you a credit card payment processing fee. Vonage reserves the right at any time to stop accepting credit cards from one or more issuers.

5.6 Your initial order for the Service authorises Vonage to charge your debit or credit account for all fees and charges incurred under this Agreement. The authorisation will remain valid until 3 Working Days (being a day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in Melbourne) after Vonage receives a notice terminating Vonage's authority from you in accordance with clause 5.7.

5.7 If your direct debit details change you must notify us immediately by calling us on 1300108184 (or such other telephone number as may be posted on our website at www.vonage.com.au from time to time). Any such notice must be provided at least 3 Working Days before a payment is due by you under this Agreement.

5.8 You must pay all sums due to Vonage in full by the due date and you cannot set off, deduct or withhold any part of any sum you owe in respect of the Service.

Goods and services taxes

5.9 All fees and charges are, unless otherwise stated, exclusive of goods and services taxes ("GST"). If GST is imposed on the supply of the Service, you must pay us, on each date you pay us for the Service under this Agreement, an additional amount calculated by multiplying the value of the GST-exclusive amount which is payable (without any deduction of any nature) by the prevailing GST rate. We will provide, in the manner set out in clause 5.4, an electronic tax invoice showing the total amount due and the amount of GST payable.

Disputes

5.10 You must notify Vonage in writing within 7 days after the date a Vonage online statement is made available if you dispute any Vonage fees or charges included in that statement. Billing disputes must be notified to www.vonage.com.au/case or by telephone on 1300108184. Where we determine that your dispute is reasonable, we will suspend any collection processes in respect of the disputed amount until we resolve that dispute with you. If, in resolving the dispute, we determine we have debited your credit or debit account incorrectly we will refund you the disputed amount as soon as reasonably practicable.

Overdue amounts

5.11 We reserve the right to charge for reasonable administration costs incurred in recovering any sum you owe us under this Agreement and we reserve the right to employ debt collection agencies, to assign the right to collect your debt or to factor your debt to a third party for collection. Without prejudice to our other rights, we reserve the right to charge daily interest on all outstanding amounts from the due date until payment is received in full at the rate equal to 1% per annum above the Reserve Bank of Australia cash rate, as current from time to time whether before or after judgement. Interest shall continue to accrue notwithstanding termination of this Agreement for any cause whatsoever.

Special offers

5.12 If you accept an equipment upgrade, special offer, promotion or other benefit, such as a free month of service, free installation, a rebate or other incentive, there may be a term commitment associated with the benefit you accepted ("Commitment"). The Commitment will be disclosed to you before you accept the benefit. The Commitment begins on the date you activate the new equipment or accept the special offer, promotion or other benefit. If the Service is disconnected prior to the end of the Commitment period, without limiting any other amount you may be required to pay to Vonage under clause 6, you agree to pay Vonage a recovery fee in an amount equal to the difference between the price you paid and the recommended retail price of the equipment upgrade, special offer, promotion or other benefit you received.

Credit checks

For the purposes of this Agreement, "Customer Data" means any data, information or other materials of any nature whatsoever generated by you, or provided to Vonage by or through you, in the course of implementing or using the Service.

15.2 In the event that you provide Vonage with suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, proposals, documents, or other feedback with respect to the Service (collectively, "Suggestions"), you grant to Vonage and its affiliates a royalty-free, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual license to use, modify, and distribute such Suggestions in connection with efforts to improve, enhance or modify any services provided by Vonage without compensation or attribution to you of any kind.

15.3 In the event the Service and this Agreement is terminated, the Customer Data associated with your account with Vonage, including any voicemail recordings, call recordings or other similar recordings, and related ancillary services will be deleted.

15.4 There are laws in Australia governing call recording and call monitoring. You should obtain your own legal advice as to whether you are permitted to record telephone calls, and if so, what notification you are required to include on the call and what consent you must obtain.

16. Voice-to-Text and Text-to-Voice Limitations

The Service may provide a function that allows voicemails to be converted to text and vice-versa. You understand and agree that the Service's voice-to-text ("VTT") and text-to-voice ("TTV") features may not accurately transcribe voicemails or articulate text messages, respectively. You are solely responsible for checking the original message and verifying the accuracy of the message when using any VTT or TTV features. Vonage expressly disclaims all liability with respect to the VTT and TTV features of the Service.

17.2 We can record any conversations between you and our staff as permitted in accordance with applicable Australian law.

17.3 If we fail to enforce a right under this Agreement, that failure will not prevent us from enforcing other rights or the same type of right on a later occasion.

17.4 If a clause or condition of this Agreement is not legally effective, the remainder of this Agreement shall be effective. We can replace any clause or condition that is not legally effective with a clause or condition of similar meaning that is.

17.5 You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement without our prior written consent.

17.6 Vonage may use or rely on one or more vendors, suppliers, licensors, service providers, and/or equipment providers or equipment lessors whose products, equipment and/or services are provided in conjunction with, or incorporated into, the Service and/or the Software and Equipment ("Third-Party Services"). Such Third Party Services may also be provided under Vonage trademarks or otherwise branded as a Vonage Service. Each provider of such Third-Party Services (a "Third-Party Service Provider") is expressly made a third party beneficiary under this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement respecting any terms affecting such Third-Party Service Provider as if such Third-Party Service Provider were a party to this Agreement. No other third party beneficiaries of this Agreement are intended by the parties. Further, Third-Party Services may be governed by separate legal terms and conditions, which may be found or identified in documentation or on other media delivered with the Third-Party Services and which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement and shall govern the use of Third-Party Services. You agree to comply with such terms and conditions of all Third-Party Services and Third-Party Service Providers. Any non-compliance with terms and conditions of Third Party Service Providers shall be considered non-compliance with this Agreement.

17.7 Those clauses the survival of which is necessary for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms notwithstanding termination or expiry of this Agreement.

17.8 This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between us in relation to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and representations, whether written or oral. This clause shall not affect the parties' rights and remedies in respect of any fraudulent misrepresentation.

17.9 This Agreement is governed by the laws of Victoria and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.

17.10 The parties acknowledge that the provisions of this Agreement are no more extensive than the parties consider reasonable to protect each party's legitimate business interests. If any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope of this Agreement is broader than is enforceable, the parties agree that this Agreement shall be deemed modified to be only so broad as shall be enforceable.
