Terms and Conditions of Service
1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
OF USE. This website (the “Site”)
is offered to you, (the “User”), conditioned
on your acceptance without modification, of the terms,
conditions, and notices contained in this agreement
and any operating rules, policies, and procedures
that may be published from time to time on this website
by (collectively, the "Terms") Personal
Fax through Natural Data Inc. ("the Company").
The following Terms govern your access to and use
of the Site and any information, products, software,
services and features to which they refer (collectively
the “Services”). Your use of the Site
constitutes your agreement to all such Terms.
If User is using the Site or Services on behalf of
User's employer, User represents that it is authorized
to accept these Terms on its employer's behalf. Unless
explicitly stated otherwise, the Terms will govern
the use of any new features that augment or enhance
the current Services, including the release of new
the Company resources and services. In the case of
any violation of these rules and regulations, the
Company reserves the right to seek all remedies available
by law and in equity for such violations. These rules
and regulations apply to all visits to the Site, both
now and in the future.
2. PRIVACY POLICY. Information collected
by the Site about Users will be treated in accordance
with the Privacy Policy.
3. MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE. The
Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue
all or part of the Site, temporarily or permanently,
with or without notice to User, and is not obligated
to support or update the Site. The amended Terms shall
be effective immediately after they are initially
posted on this Site. User's continued use of the Site
after the posting of the amended Terms on the Site
constitutes User's affirmative: (a) acknowledgement
of the Terms and its modifications; and (b) agreement
to abide and be bound by the Terms, as amended. User
acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not
be liable to User or any third party in the event
that the Company exercises its right to modify or
discontinue all or part of the Site.
4. MODIFICATION OF USER RATES. The
Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion,
to change User pricing upon thirty (30) days notice.
5. CHARGES. By electing to purchase
subscription-based services, you warrant that all
information you submit is true and accurate (including
without limitation your credit card number and expiration
date) and you agree to pay all subscription fees you
incur plus all applicable taxes.
a. Payment of your account balance is due monthly
or annually and must be made by the credit card designated
by you.
b. Charges are to be paid on a monthly or annual basis.
If the payment method for your account is not received
from the card issuer or its agents, you agree to pay
all amounts due upon demand. Each time you use Personal
Fax, or allow or cause Personal Fax to be used, you
agree and reaffirm that Personal Fax is authorized
to charge your designated card. Your card issuer's
agreement governs your use of your designated card
in connection with Personal Fax, and you must refer
to such agreement (not this Agreement) with respect
to your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. You
agree that Personal Fax may (at its option) accumulate
charges incurred during your monthly billing cycle
and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during
or at the end of each cycle, and that Personal Fax
may delay obtaining authorization from your card issuer
until submission of the accumulated charge(s). This
means that accumulated charges may appear on the statement
you receive from your card issuer.
c. Your activation fee is payable in advance and is
COMPLETELY NON-REFUNDABLE. You agree that Personal
Fax may submit charges for your monthly (or annual)
service fee each month (or year), without further
authorization from you, until you provide prior notice
that you have terminated this authorization or wish
to change your designated card. Such notice will not
affect charges submitted before Personal Fax reasonably
could act on your notice. If you have any question
regarding any charges that have been applied to your
account, you must contact Personal Fax’s Customer
Service Department within 30 days of the charge date.
Failure to use your account will not be deemed a basis
for refusing to pay any charges submitted by Personal
Fax in accordance with this Agreement.
d. You must promptly notify Personal Fax of changes
to: (a) the account number or expiration date of your
designated card; (b) your billing address. You must
also promptly notify Personal Fax if your card is
canceled (e.g., for loss or theft).
6. PAYMENT. Personal Fax reserves
the right to suspend or terminate your Personal Fax
account without notice upon rejection of any card
charges or if your card issuer (or its agent or affiliate)
seeks return of payments previously made to Personal
Fax when Personal Fax believes you are liable for
the charge. Such rights are in addition to and not
in lieu of any other legal rights or remedies available
to Personal Fax.

with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the
Company rights or property, other the Company users,
or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities;

personal jurisdiction by the state and federal courts
located in Ontario. These Terms and any modifications
hereto constitute the entire agreement between the
parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and
supersede all prior understandings and agreements,
whether written or oral, as to such subject matter.
