No rights are granted to the Customer hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein.
7.2. Restrictions on Use. This Agreement only allows the Customer to use the Purchased Solution for its own business, within the limitations set forth in this Agreement and applicable Appendices.
8. Terms of Payment:
8.1. All HABLAPORINTERNET will be prepaid unless the Parties specifically agree otherwise in writing. Any provision regarding payment incorporated in an Appendix to this Agreement will supersede the Terms of Payment set forth herein.
8.2. Payment conditions, payment methods. Generally, the payment methods listed below are accepted:
8.2.1. Payment via PayPal: You pay the invoice amount via online payment provider PayPal. This method requires you to already be registered or prepared to register with PayPal, to log in using your credentials and then to confirm your payment instruction to HABLAPORINTERNET. Once the invoice amount has been received in our account, the goods will be dispatched to you.
8.2.2. Payment via Amazon Pay: Amazon Pay allows you to use the customer details stored with Amazon.com to pay for your online purchase from our shop, without disclosing your payment details. You will not be charged any additional fees. If you already have an Amazon customer account, you can pay immediately using the payment method you have on file for that account, either by direct debit or credit card. Click on the “Pay with Amazon” button and log into your Amazon account. Then select one of your delivery addresses and payment methods and confirm the order. Your bank account or credit card will only be charged once delivery of your order to your delivery address has been confirmed. When you buy services from our e-shop, you receive an email message with details of service and payment confirmation. Amazon Pay will not forward the payment details stored in your Amazon customer account to us, and you do not need to provide this information for the order. Amazon Pay offers the same reliable payment guarantee and protection plan as Amazon.com.
8.3. Upon accepting the terms of this Agreement, the Customer will select a payment plan and shall pay all amounts due according to this Agreement.
8.3.1. The price to be paid by the Customer for the Purchased Solution and the frequency of payment will depend on the plan selected, according with the terms and forms listed in the corresponding Appendix for the Purchased Solution, or, in the absence of an applicable Appendix, as provided in HABLAPORINTERNET’s website or otherwise enclosed or attached in this Agreement. HABLAPORINTERNET reserves the right to modify the corresponding list of plans and prices without prior notice.
8.3.2. The Customer will pay in advance for the Purchased Solution by credit card, Amazon Payment, Paypal or wire transfer using the application provided for this purpose. By accepting the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Customer acknowledges that it is the authorized holder of the credit card, or the rightful account owner, as applicable, and authorizes that the value of the selected plan and additional fees and/or charges are applied. Some payment options, banks and Paypal may impose a “Bank fee”, or “Wire fee”, or “Transfer fee” on the Customer’s payment. This is an arbitrary fee that accrues entirely to the payment-issuing bank or money transfer service. HABLAPORINTERNET does not control these imposed fees nor does HABLAPORINTERNET derive any benefit from them, monetary or otherwise; therefore HABLAPORINTERNET is unable to accept responsibility for these fees. The Customer is liable for any “Bank fee”, or “Wire fee,” or “Transfer fee” associated with payments. If HABLAPORINTERNET receives a payment for less than the amount due the payment will be considered incomplete and the unpaid amount will be subject to interest in accordance with Article 9.
8.3.3. Dependent on the service(s) requested and subject to certain credit requirements as determined by HABLAPORINTERNET, HABLAPORINTERNET may agree to allow the Customer to pay by invoice, the amounts due hereunder in arrears. In such event, the Customer will make all of the payments due hereunder within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing. HABLAPORINTERNET’s agreement to allow the Customer to pay by invoice will only be effective if set forth in writing and will be revocable at any time at HABLAPORINTERNET’s sole discretion, with or without prior notice.
8.3.4. The Customer will be responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to HABLAPORINTERNET and notifying HABLAPORINTERNET of any changes to such information. With the first purchase of Services, HABLAPORINTERNET send a validation email message to the Customer. This verification process is essential to avoid the risk involved in online transaction. Rest assured that this is a onetime process, provided Customer uses the same payment method for all future transactions.
8.3.5. Customer acknowledges that the payment obligations are not cancellable and amounts paid are nonrefundable under any circumstances, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement or specifically agreed to by the Parties in writing.
8.4. All payments are approved manually so the customer agrees to wait until 6 labor hours after the payment is made, notified and verified. Normally all the services are delivered within those six labor hours. For off-line payments the customer must notify the payment; it means the customer must send the receipt or payment confirmation copy, to soporte@hablaporinternet.com and inform the account ID or registered email address for the customer account or service ID. For the online payments, the first time, there is a verification process where the system sends an email message to customer, asking for documents and an answer of the verification email message.
9. Overdue Charges:
In the event that the Parties agree in writing that payment will be invoiced, and any invoiced amount is not received by HABLAPORINTERNET by the due date, then without limiting HABLAPORINTERNET’s rights or remedies:
9.1. Those charges will accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month; and/or
9.2. HABLAPORINTERNET may condition future service renewals on payment terms shorter than those specified above; and/or
9.3. HABLAPORINTERNET at its sole option may choose to suspend or terminate service without notice; and/or
9.4. HABLAPORINTERNET at its sole option may choose to accelerate Customer’s unpaid fee obligations under this Agreement so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable.
10. Disputes:
10.1. The Customer shall notify HABLAPORINTERNET in writing in the event the Customer disputes any portion of any fees paid or payable by the Customer under this Agreement. The Customer shall provide such notice to HABLAPORINTERNET within sixty (60) calendar days of the applicable charge and the parties will work together to resolve the applicable dispute promptly. Disputes are to be raised in the same currency as the corresponding fees. Upon expiration of the sixty (60) day period described in this Article, the Customer will not be entitled to dispute any fees paid or payable by the Customer. HABLAPORINTERNET will endeavor to respond within thirty (30) days from receipt. If the Customer does not respond to the dispute communications within thirty (30) days from receipt, the dispute will then be closed in favor of HABLAPORINTERNET.
10.2. If any amount due under this Article has already been paid to HABLAPORINTERNET by the Customer, then the Customer will accept a credit to be deducted from future payments due.
11. Pricing Notes:
11.1. All prices are in USD.
11.2. HABLAPORINTERNET’s prices do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with his/her/its purchases hereunder. The Customer will be solely liable for and will pay upon demand all Taxes associated with their access to and use of the Services and will not deduct any such amounts, or any other withholdings, set-offs or deductions, form amounts owed to HABLAPORINTERNET. If either the Customer or HABLAPORINTERNET has the obligation to pay or collect Taxes or make such deductions or withholdings for which the Customer is responsible under this Article, then the Customer will pay the amounts due unless the Customer provides HABLAPORINTERNET with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
11.3. Prices and fees are subject to HABLAPORINTERNET’s revision. HABLAPORINTERNET reserves the right to change its prices and fees from time to time, in its sole discretion and without notice. Customer’s continued use or payment of the Services after a price revision becomes effective constitutes Customer’s agreement to pay the newly listed amount.
12. Upgrades and Downgrades:
12.1. Customer can opt to upgrade or downgrade their service plan to any other plan available for the Purchased Solution. Unless otherwise agreed to between the Parties, the Customer shall provide written notice to HABLAPORINTERNET at least thirty (30) days before the planned upgrade or downgrade.
12.2. In the event of a service downgrade, a discount credit will be issued to your Customer account for the difference in the cost of the two services if such difference has already been paid. The discount credit will be applied to future months of service with HABLAPORINTERNET, and is in no way transferable to a cash refund.
12.3. In the event of a service upgrade, Customer agrees to pay HABLAPORINTERNET the fees indicated for that service. Payments will be charged on a pre-paid basis unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties.
12.4. Unless the Customer notifies HABLAPORINTERNET before the applicable service period that Customer wants to cancel a service plan upgrade, the Customer’s service will automatically continue as is. Customer authorizes HABLAPORINTERNET to collect the then applicable service fee for such service (as well as any taxes) using any credit card or other payment mechanism that HABLAPORINTERNET has on record for the Customer.
13. IP rights:
13.1. HABLAPORINTERNET Solutions are the property of HABLAPORINTERNET. The Customer acknowledges that HABLAPORINTERNET products are protected by copyright, trademark patents and all other proprietary rights. The Customer will not use any information obtained as a result of the use of HABLAPORINTERNET products and/or services for any purpose other than the use of HABLAPORINTERNET products and/or services.
13.2. Nothing herein will confer or be deemed to confer on either Party expressly, implied or otherwise, any rights or licenses in the intellectual property of the other. Except as may be expressly agreed in writing between the Parties, neither Party is permitted to use the brand names of the other Party’s services and/or products or the other Party’s trade names and service marks without the prior written consent of the other.

15. General Disclaimers:
15.1. The Customer shall be solely responsible for the content included in any communication with third parties while using HABLAPORINTERNET. The Customer assumes all responsibility and legal liability for customer content. This includes all responsibility and legal liability for offenses, including but not limited to, such as copyright infringement; plagiarism; and making statements that are false, misleading, defamatory, libelous, offensive, threatening, prohibited, fraudulent, or in violation of any law. It is not the obligation or the policy of HABLAPORINTERNET to investigate or to make a determination as to whether the Customer has, or could, commit any of these offenses by means of the Customer’s content. The Customer is solely responsible for making such a determination. HABLAPORINTERNET reserves the right to refuse or terminate service without notice to the Customer if we have any question, doubt, or concern–however well or poorly justified–that the Customer risks committing any of these offenses. The Customer represents and warrants that the Customer owns or otherwise controls all rights to submitted materials and that submitted materials do not contain statements that are false, misleading, defamatory, libelous, offensive, threatening, prohibited, or in violation of any law.
15.2. HABLAPORINTERNET will not be liable, and shall be held harmless for any violation by Customer of proprietary or privacy rights, or for any violation of any applicable laws or regulations.
15.3. HABLAPORINTERNET will not be liable and shall be held harmless for any loss or injury caused in whole, or in part, by actions, omissions or circumstances beyond its control, or arising out of Customer’s or any Third Party’s decision, including but not limited to, Credit Card fraud, Illegal use of Content, Cyber attacks of any nature, or any type of misconduct which violates local, state, federal or international law or violates the legal rights of the Parties to this Agreement or of any Third party.
15.4. HABLAPORINTERNET will not be liable for any technical failures caused by factors beyond HABLAPORINTERNET’s control. HABLAPORINTERNET will use its best efforts to correct any such technical failures as soon as practicable.
15.5. HABLAPORINTERNET will not be liable for the Customer’s misuse of HABLAPORINTERNET. Any use of HABLAPORINTERNET which is contrary to federal or state laws or regulations may result in the immediate termination of services. The Customer agrees that any termination due to violation of such laws will result in forfeiture of any and all funds paid to HABLAPORINTERNET. HABLAPORINTERNET will assist state and/or local authorities in prosecution of those who violate the law through the use of HABLAPORINTERNET. The Customer further acknowledges that he/she/it hereby indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to defend HABLAPORINTERNET against any action against it by the FTC, FCC or other government agency pursuant to the Customer’s violation of any laws, rules or regulations related to the Customer’s use of HABLAPORINTERNET.
15.6. No Emergency Calls: by entering into this Agreement the Customer acknowledges and agrees that the HABLAPORINTERNET infrastructure does not and does not intend to support or carry emergency calls.
15.7. No Callback Calls: by entering into this Agreement the Customer acknowledges and agrees that the DID numbers provided by HABLAPORINTERNET cannot be used for callback applications.
15.8. Jurisdiction Restrictions: if the Customer is residing in a jurisdiction where it is forbidden by law to offer or use internet telephony, the Customer may not enter into this Agreement. By entering into this Agreement the Customer explicitly states that he has verified in his own jurisdiction if the use of internet telephony is allowed. The Customer shall be solely responsible, bear all costs (including reasonable lawyer’s costs) and will hold HABLAPORINTERNET harmless, if he breaches the Jurisdiction restrictions.
15.9. Customer acknowledges that the allocation of Numbers (DIDs and/or Toll-Free numbers) as part of the Service does not constitute a transfer of property or sale of numbering rights by HABLAPORINTERNET, and only constitutes a sale of right to use the Numbers exclusively as long as the Service is provided. As a result, Customer is not entitled to claim any such rights to the Numbers which will be reassigned to HABLAPORINTERNET immediately at the termination of the Service.
15.10. Service term is one or more full months, according to the service order, beginning on date that Service is activated. Service orders are renewed automatically for additional terms until cancelled.
15.11. Customer acknowledges that some services run on different platforms with different account credentials (login/password) for self-management. The main or default customer account is the VoIP customer account. Some services are renewed or activated automatically in other platforms by taking money from the main voip customer account balance. In the same way for the toll-free incoming calls and on-demand services; if the self-managed platform does not have enough balance, it will take money from the voip account in order to avoid call rejections or services blocked. The system would move money from voip customer balance to another platform account balance. When the customer decides and inform the termination of a service, he/she could ask support team for moving the unused money, from one platform to another.
16. Indemnification:
16.1. By contracting, purchasing, or ordering HABLAPORINTERNET, the Customer hereby agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify HABLAPORINTERNET, its successors and assigns, from any and all demands, claims, actions, lawsuits, judgments, whether first or third party, including but not limited to damages of any kind, costs, expenses, attorney’s fees arising from, related to and/or associated with this Agreement.

16.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HABLAPORINTERNET reserves the right to unilaterally without thirty days notice to assume complete and total control over the strategy and defense of any claim for which HABLAPORINTERNET is entitled to indemnification. The Customer agrees to pay for all of the defense related costs and fees associated with the defense on a monthly basis to the defense chosen by HABLAPORINTERNET. In such event, the Customer will not be excused of the obligations set forth in the prior subsection. In additions, Customer will provide HABLAPORINTERNET with all cooperation that is requested by HABLAPORINTERNET.

26. Confidentiality:
26.1. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential information includes, but is not limited to, the terms of this Agreement and any of its appendices, data, plans, designs, drawings, trade secrets, or any other documents including pricing, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, business processes, and other proprietary or confidential information of the other Party disclosed during the Term. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.
26.2. Neither Party will disclose the Confidential Information received from the other Party for a period of three (3) years from the date of commencement of this Agreement unless such disclosure is (i) necessary to satisfy the rules, requirements and/or regulations of any federal, state, or local government agency; (ii) otherwise required to be disclosed by law; (iii) necessary in any legal proceeding establishing rights and obligations under this Agreement; (iv) to a Party’s accountants, auditors, and attorneys which are bound by the same confidentiality obligations set forth herein. If however, the Confidential Information rises to the level of Trade Secret under applicable law, the five (5) year duration set forth above will not apply, and the Trade Secret will be kept confidential for as long as the applicable law deems enforceable.
26.3. If the Receiving Party is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or document, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to produce any Confidential information disclosed during the course of the dealings, the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the disclosing party about any such request so that the disclosing party may consider seeking an appropriate protective order.
26.4. The Receiving Party agrees to:
26.4.1. use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care);
26.4.2. refrain from using any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement; and
26.4.3. limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not less stringent than those herein, except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing party in writing.
26.5. Violation by either Party or its agents, of the foregoing provisions will entitle the other Party to seek an injunction or restraining order, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.
