Whereas, Telava owns and operates a communications network and is in the business
of providing communications services to other entities; and
Whereas, Customer desires to purchase from Telava certain services available through
the Telava network;
Whereas, Telava is willing to sell such services to Customer according to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Conferencing Agreement;
Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the two parties agree as follows:
1. SERVICES AND PRICING.
1(a) CHARGES AND PAYMENT TERMS. Customer
agrees to pay Telava for conferencing services and solutions (“Services”) according
to the terms of service and at the listed rates as set forth in the Services and
Pricing of the Customer Sales Order Agreement (“SOA”) attached to and hereby incorporated
into this Conferencing Agreement. Charges for use of Services are invoiced at the
end of each month, and payments are due upon receipt of invoice. Past-due balances
shall be subject to an interest charge of 1.9% per month computed from the due date
of each invoice previously issued, or the maximum rate legally permitted, whichever
is less. Customer shall pay any collection costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, and other expenses incurred by Telava to collect any sums due under this Conferencing
Agreement. Customer must notify Telava of any charge disputed in good faith, with
supporting documentation, within 30 days from the date of invoice, or Customer will
be deemed to agree to such charges and no adjustments to charges or invoices will
be made. Customer remains responsible to pay undisputed charges by the due date.
1(b) CREDIT CHECKS; TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES.
The provision of Services under this Conferencing Agreement is subject to credit
verification and acceptance by Telava. Telava reserves the right, in its sole discretion,
to change or institute new or additional charges and/or fees for access to or use
of Services (including for ancillary services) at any time. Further, Telava may,
in its sole discretion, request advanced payment, in whole or in part, from Customer
or change its payment terms at any time. Telava may cancel or re-schedule orders
if Telava determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer’s financial condition
or previous payment record so warrants such change. Customer shall pay, and Telava
reserves the right to collect in arrears, all sales, use, excise or other taxes,
fees or charges of any nature whatsoever, now or hereafter imposed or assessed on
Telava, by any federal, state, county or local government authority upon or with
respect to the Services provided.
2. TERM AND TERMINATION.
2(a) TERM. Services shall commence upon
the Service Commencement Date as agreed upon by the parties, in writing, and shall
continue for a minimum term of twelve (12) months, unless a different term is specified
by the parties on the Services and Pricing of the SOA (“Initial Term”), with one
year renewal terms continuing indefinitely thereafter (each a “Renewal Term”). Either
party may terminate this Conferencing Agreement at the end of a term by providing
written notice to the other party of such termination at least 60 days prior to
the end of such term. At the commencement of any Renewal Term, the rates for Services
provided pursuant to this Conferencing Agreement shall automatically adjust to ‘Telava’
then-standard rates.
2(b) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Either party
may terminate this Conferencing Agreement at any time in the event that the other
party breaches any provision of this Conferencing Agreement in any material respect
and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after receipt of written notice of
such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Telava may terminate this Conferencing
Agreement and/or suspend the provision of Services immediately for: illegal, fraudulent
or improper use of the Services (including without limitation Customer’s use of
the Services in contravention of Section 6) or if deemed reasonably necessary by
Telava to prevent interruption or disruption to Telava’ network, its business or
other customers; if any portion of an invoice remains unpaid when due; or for breach,
not subject to cure. Telava shall not be liable to Customer or any third party should
Telava exercise its right to discontinue Services, in whole or in part, or terminate
this Conferencing Agreement pursuant to this Section 2(b).
2(c) EARLY TERMINATION BY CUSTOMER. In
the event that Customer terminates this Conferencing Agreement (not due to breach
by Telava) or if Telava terminates on account of Customer’s breach, Customer shall
pay to Telava as liquidated damages, but not as a penalty and representing a reasonable
estimate of the probable loss to Telava, a termination charge equal to the Minimum
Monthly Charge multiplied by the number of months in the term less any payments
for actual usage made by Customer during the term of this Conferencing Agreement;
provided, however, no payments over and above the Minimum Monthly Charge for any
one month shall apply to or in any way be credited against any other, past or present,
Minimum Monthly Charge or the overall shortfall amount for the term of the Conferencing
Agreement.
3. CUSTOMER COMPLIANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION.
Telava has no control over the content of information transmitted by Customer through
the Services (whether visual, written or audible) and that Telava does not examine
the use to which Customer puts the Services or the nature of the information Customer
or Customer’s users send or receive. Customer shall comply with all applicable foreign,
federal, state and local laws relating to its use of the Services under this Conferencing
Agreement (including without limitation, export and control laws and regulations).
Customer agrees not to transmit content through use of the Services that infringes
any third party’s intellectual property rights or that is unlawful, threatening,
abusive, harassing, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another’s privacy,
vulgar, obscene or otherwise contains objectionable material of any kind or nature.
Customer is responsible: (i) for any and all activities that may occur under your
account and (ii) to maintain the confidentiality and security of its Services’ access
numbers, keys and passcodes. Customer agrees to notify Telava immediately if there
has been an unauthorized use of any access numbers, keys and passcodes or any other
breach of security and Customer shall be liable for fraudulent charges until such
time as Customer has notified Telava to suspend any compromised access numbers,
keys and/or passcodes. Customer acknowledges that Telava may from time to time monitor
the Services for quality assurance and fraud detection. Further, and notwithstanding
confidentiality provisions herein, Telava may disclose information about Customer’s
use of Services to satisfy any law, regulation, government agency request, court
order, subpoena or other legal process.
Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold Telava, its officers, directors, employees,
affiliates and its suppliers harmless from any claims, losses, damages, penalties
or costs (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ or expert witness fees)
arising out of: (i) Customer’s use of the Services; (ii) Customer’s violation or
alleged violation of any applicable laws or regulations with respect to the Services;
or (iii) infringement of any intellectual property rights of any third party. The
obligations contained in this paragraph shall survive any termination or suspension
of the Services contemplated herein, the expiration or termination of this Conferencing
Agreement, and shall also survive final payment.
4. WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
All Services provided under this Conferencing Agreement are provided on an “as is”
And “AS AVAILABLE” basis, and Telava shall not have any liability to any party,
including but not limited to Customer, for the content of information transmitted
by Customer through the services or any loss, delay, interruption or inaccuracy
of such communications. Telava DISCLAIMS any AND ALL representations, warranties
or covenants, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied
warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement
regarding the Services. TELAVA MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION REGARDING THE
RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES, AND ANY MATERIAL, AND/OR
DATA DOWNLOADED, UPLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES
IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK. TELAVA, nor its suppliers, shall in any event
be liable for any special, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFIT OR OTHER MONETARY LOSS; LOSS OR INTERRUPTION OF
DATA, COMPUTER TIME OR VOICE TRANSMISSIONS; ALTERATION OR ERRONEOUS TRANSMISSION
OF DATA; ACCURACY OF DATA; UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF VOICE OR DATA PROCESSED
OR TRANSMITTED BY, TO OR THROUGH THE SERVICE; OR PROGRAM ERRORS) EVEN IF TELAVA
IS ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Telava shall not be liable
for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, its obligations under this
Conferencing Agreement caused by reasons beyond Telava’ control. In no event shall
Telava’ total liability to Customer arising under this Conferencing Agreement, whether
such theory of liability is based in contract, tort or otherwise, exceed an amount
equal to the charges by Telava to customer for the particular service performed
by Telava during the one month period immediately prior to the date of event, act
or omission giving rise to the liability.
5. COUNTERPARTS. This Conferencing Agreement
may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all
of which together will constitute one and the same document.
6. CAPTIONS AND SECTION HEADINGS. Captions
and section headings are for convenience only, are not a part of this Conferencing
Agreement and may not be used in construing it.
7. SEVERABILITY. Should any provision
of this Conferencing Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms of this Conferencing Agreement
shall not be affected or impaired thereby, and the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most
closely matches the intent of the original provision and the allocation of risk.
8. WAIVERS. Any failure by any of the
parties to comply with any of the obligations, agreements or conditions set forth
in this Conferencing Agreement may be waived by the other party, but any such waiver
must be in writing signed by the waiving party and will not be deemed a waiver of
any subsequent failures or of any other obligations, agreements or conditions contained
herein.
9. NO AGENCY. The parties’ relationship
to each other shall be that of independent contractors. Neither party shall or shall
be deemed to be an agent, employee, partner of, or joint venture with the other
party.
10. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Each
party enters into this Conferencing Agreement solely for its own benefit and purpose.
Except for Telava’ suppliers as expressly provided herein, this Conferencing Agreement
in no way confers any rights upon, or imposes obligations on either of the parties
toward, any third party, including but not limited to any recipient of content transmitted
through the Services.
11. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENT.
This Conferencing Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties' successors, legal representatives and authorized assigns. Telava may assign

now or in the future controls, is controlled by or is under common control with
Telava or as a consequence of merger, acquisition, change of control or asset sale.

shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the State of Nevada applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein, without

exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in or with responsibility
for Carson City, Nevada to resolve any disputes arising hereunder.
14. ENTIRE CONFERENCING AGREEMENT. This
Conferencing Agreement, including all Schedules attached hereto, constitutes the
final, complete and entire Conferencing Agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any previous proposals, negotiations,
agreements or arrangements, whether verbal or written made between the parties with
respect to such subject matter. There are no other verbal agreements, representations,
warranties, undertakings or other agreements between the parties. If Customer uses
or requires a purchase order in connection with any of the Services to be performed
hereunder, Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that to the extent such purchase
order contains any pre-printed or other terms and conditions, such terms and conditions,
whether in addition to or in conflict with this Conferencing Agreement, shall have
no effect whatsoever and this Conferencing Agreement shall govern the relationship
between Telava and Customer. Telava may amend at any time the provisions of this
Conferencing Agreement by, at Telava’s election: (i) posting revised terms and conditions
(“Amended Terms”) on www.telava.com (the “Telava Web Site”) or (ii) delivering the
Amended Terms to Customer at the address, fax or e-mail address provided herein
(such delivery may be included in invoices for the Services delivered to Customer).
All Amended Terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after such amendment
is posted on the Telava Web Site or delivery to Customer as provided above. Customer
agrees to BE responsible for regularly reviewing the Telava Web Site to obtain timely
notice of ANY SUCH AMENDED TERMS AND Telava’s then CURRENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
By using the Services after POSTING OR DELIVERY OF Amended Terms, Customer will
be deemed to have accepted AND BE BOUND BY such Amended Terms. No such amendment
by Telava shall serve to constitute a default or termination by Telava of this Conferencing
Agreement, nor shall such amendment serve to be a basis for Customer’s termination
of this Conferencing Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 14,
this Conferencing Agreement may only be amended or modified, in whole or in part,
by a written instrument signed by the parties to this Conferencing Agreement.
