Prior to the activation of the READYMODE CALL CENTER SUITE Services set forth in Subscriber’s initial Service Order, Subscriber shall pay Readymode the fees specified in the Service Order, including implementation and activation fees, as well as the Seat Subscription fees (collectively, the “Activation Fee”). Upon receipt of the Activation Fee, Readymode will activate Subscriber’s account and commence the provisioning process for the READYMODE CALL CENTER SUITE Service (the date of the initial Service Activation represents the “Service Activation or Provisioning Date”). The initial provisioning process creates the Subscriber’s unique domain within the READYMODE CALL CENTER SUITE, and enables the Subscriber to login and access the READYMODE CALL CENTER SUITE, to upload and access data, and make and receive calls. b. Subsequent Service Orders. For subsequent Service Orders, Readymode shall commence the provisioning process for the additional READYMODE CALL CENTER SUITE Service as required by such Service Orders upon receipt of the applicable Activation Fee.
- Fees, Subscriber Bill Date and Billing Cycle. Subscriber shall pay Readymode the annual fees for the READYMODE CALL CENTER SUITE Services as set forth on an applicable Service Order (“Service Fee”). Unless otherwise indicated in a Service Order or in this Agreement, Subscriber shall pay all annual Seat Subscription Fees in advance. The Subscriber’s billing cycle begins on the Service Activation Date and Subscriber shall be invoiced each year on the same date as the Service Activation Date(the “Subscriber Renewal Date”). The Subscriber Renewal Date will be the bill date for all READYMODE CALL CENTER SUITE Services ordered by Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement, and partial overages (added subscription fees) shall be pro-rated from the time of order to the Subscribers next annual Bill Date. Each invoice will include all annual or monthly Service Fees for the applicable READYMODE CALL CENTER SUITE Services in use by Subscriber and any additional recurring premium services for the, next billing period applicable, any professional services or other one-time charges for services delivered during the billing period will be billed on a monthly recurring basis.
- Payment Terms. Payment terms for Service Fees and other fees due on a given invoice are “Due upon Receipt”, unless otherwise stated on the invoice. Payment of all fees (including any Service Fees, Activation Fees, and Regulatory Fees), whether in advance of service or for services incurred, can be made by credit card to Readymode. Subscribers paying for Readymode services shall upload their credit card to Readymode’s payment partner, Stripe or any successor, which expressly authorizes Readymode to charge directly the credit card account number provided by Subscriber to pay for any and all charges incurred and invoiced under this Agreement. Subscriber shall be responsible for all taxes and regulatory fees, including sales, value-added or similar taxes, due under this Agreement. Past due balances, including past due balances resulting from returned checks or charge-backs, are subject to an interest charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, and Subscriber agrees to pay Readymode’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in collecting any amounts due from Subscriber under this Agreement that Subscriber fails to timely pay.
- Refund Policy. All prepaid fees under this Agreement are non-refundable, except as may be required by law.
- Disputed Charges and Resolution of Disputes. Subscriber agrees to pay all undisputed charges under this Agreement without counter-claim, set-off or deduction. In the event Subscriber legitimately and reasonably disputes an invoiced amount, Subscriber will provide Readymode with written notice (via e-mail at [email protected]) of the amount in dispute and the basis for the dispute within seven (7) business days of receipt of the invoice. Readymode agrees that it will work with Subscriber to reasonably and expeditiously resolve the dispute. Subscriber agrees that any undisputed amounts shall remain due and payable in accordance with the normal seven (7) day payment terms. After (7) business days if an invoice is not disputed it is deemed correct and payable to Readymode.
- No Waiver. Failure of Readymode to charge Subscriber’s credit card or to invoice Subscriber in a timely manner for any amounts due under this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by Readymode of its rights to payment for such amounts, and all outstanding amounts shall remain due and payable by Subscriber.
- Telecommunications Taxes and Fees. Subscribers in Canada are required to pay HST, GST and/or PST where applicable. US-based Subscribers agree to pay all applicable taxes and regulatory fees associated with their use of the Services, including, without limitation, any applicable porting fees, applicable state, local or municipal taxes, and any applicable regulatory fees such as Universal Service Fund (“USF”), TRS, NANP, and e911 fees, along with a regulatory recovery fee designed to collect a reasonable estimate of AM Communication’s estimated costs of legal and regulatory compliance (collectively, “Fees”).
- DID Purchase Policy. Readymode works with 3rd party providers to deliver Phone Numbers (DIDs) for use in the product. All DIDs provided are rested for between 45 and 120 days by our carriers to help ensure the reputation of the DIDs are acceptable at the time of purchase. Neither Readymode nor any provider in the marketplace can guarantee the reputation of DIDs at the time of purchase, as external factors (DID spoofing, Carrier changes, etc.) can impact the reputation of a given DID outside of Readymode or the provider’s control and knowledge. Due to this all DIDs are sold on a non-refundable basis. Further, Subscriber agrees that any DIDs assigned to it in connection with this Agreement will be used solely and exclusively through the READYMODE CALL CENTER SUITE Services, and that any use by Subscriber of Readymode-assigned DIDs as a caller ID through any other platform or service provider without Readymode’s prior written consent is a material breach of this Agreement.

Unless earlier terminated as provided in this Agreement, this Agreement commences on the Service Activation Date and shall continue for either one (1) month or one (1) year (“Initial Term”), as specified on your order, and shall automatically renew for consecutive monthly or yearly renewal periods (each a “Renewal Period” and all Renewal Periods together with the Initial Term, the “Term”) thereafter, unless either party has provided notice of its intent not to renew this Agreement in accordance with Section 4(c).

Readymode, at its sole discretion, will determine what a reasonable time is for the Subscriber to cease the unauthorized activity.

- If it is determined that your usage is excessive or abusive, you agree to pay a per-minute fee of use in excess of those levels AT THE THEN-CURRENT RATE ESTABLISHED BY Readymode, and, at Readymode’s sole option and discretion, your service will be immediately terminated. THIS OVERAGE FEE APPLIES TO ALL PLANS.
- Resumption of Service. Subscriber’s resumption of access to the READYMODE CALL CENTER SUITE Service following a suspension by Readymode for the reasons cited above will not extend the Term, nor result in an extension of the period covered by the prepaid Service Fees. Resumption of Subscriber’s account following suspension or termination by Readymode is subject to the sole discretion of Readymode. If Readymode allows Subscriber to resume using the READYMODE CALL CENTER SUITE Services, Subscriber may be subject to a reconnection fee and applicable retraining fees, and must pay in full all outstanding account balances.
- No Subscriber Initiated Suspensions of Service. Subscriber understands that it has entered into an Agreement with a specific term and that nothing contained in the Agreement conveys the right to the Subscriber to suspend service in whole or in part during the Initial Term or during subsequent Renewal Periods, nor is the Subscriber entitled to a refund of any prepaid READYMODE CALL CENTER SUITE Service Fees on the basis of requesting a suspension of service.
