RingCentral® Terms of Service

Last Updated: March 8, 2018

1. INTRODUCTION

Terms of Service (the “TOS”), together with the RingCentral privacy notice (the “Privacy Notice”) and any other supplementary documents (together, the “Agreement”), constitute the entire agreement between RingCentral Australia PTY LTD, ABN 32 611 310 948, a company registered in Australia (“RingCentral”) and you, either as an individual trader, or acting on behalf of any entity that you represent (“You” and “Your”), as the user of the Plan Services, Applications and/or Website. The Agreement governs Your use of the Plan Services, Applications and Website provided by RingCentral. These TOS were previously known as the End User License Agreement and Terms of Service; any references to the “End User License Agreement” or the “EULA TOS” in any RingCentral publications, notices, or agreements refer to these TOS.

By using or accessing the Plan Services, Applications or the Website, You confirm that You accept and will comply with the Agreement. You represent and warrant that: (i) You possess the legal right and capacity to enter into the Agreement with RingCentral and to perform all of Your obligations thereunder; (ii) You are of legal age to enter into this Agreement; (iii) You have full power and authority to execute and deliver any agreement documents and to perform all of Your obligations thereunder; (v) if You accept on behalf of an organisation, You are authorised to bind that organisation, and references to "You" in the Agreement expressly includes, without limitation, the entity You represent; and (iv) You shall be bound by the Agreement.

The text of this agreement, as well as any attending documents, including Annexes, have been drafted in both the English and French languages. However, the prevailing language for its interpretation is the English version.

Any capitalised terms set forth below not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in Section 26 (“Definitions”) below.

2. OPERATION AND LIMITATIONS OF THE RINGCENTRAL EMERGENCY 000/112 SERVICE

A. RingCentral Provides Access to Emergency Calling Services (000/112)

RingCentral provides access to emergency calling services, allowing most Users to access Emergency Services (000/112). Your access may differ depending on your location or the device you are using, and it works differently than you may have experienced using traditional wireline or mobile telephones. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS FOR PLACING EMERGENCY CALLS AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES.

RingEX Users using IP Desk Phones or Softphones can dial 000/112 directly from their IP Desk Phones or Softphone.

Emergency calls placed through the RingEX Mobile Application on a smartphone are automatically routed to the native dialer on the smartphone, and the call will be handled by your wireless service provider if wireless service is available. If your wireless service is unavailable, the call cannot be placed. The RingCentral Mobile Application cannot place emergency calls over Wi-Fi access. Emergency dialing is not available through the RingEX Mobile Application on tablets or other mobile devices without a native phone dialer and a wireless service plan.

B. How It Works

When a RingEX user dials an emergency number on an IP Desk Phone or Softphone, the RingCentral phone number and the Registered Address you have provided is sent to the local emergency responder serving your location. Your “Registered Address” is the address of the physical location where You will use Your Plan Services. In most cases, emergency operators have access to this information; however, in some cases the emergency operator answering the call may not be able to see your RingCentral telephone number or your Registered Address. That might happen if there is a problem validating a Registered Address, if the Registered Address is an international location, or if the Registered Address is in an area that is not covered by the landline emergency dialling network. You should always be prepared to provide the emergency operator with your RingCentral telephone number and Registered Address in case the call is dropped or disconnected. If you are unable to speak, the emergency operator may not be able to send help to your location and/or call you back should the call be disconnected. RingCentral does not control whether or not the emergency operator receives your telephone number and Registered Address.

C. Service Limitations

RingCentral emergency services dialling will not function in the event of an Internet or power outage, if you do not have cellular service (on the RingCentral Mobile Application), or if your broadband, ISP, or RingEX service is terminated. The RingCentral Mobile Application cannot send emergency calls over Wi-Fi access. It is possible that network congestion may delay or prevent completion of an emergency call. RingCentral emergency service dialling may not be available in all countries.

D. Registering Your Location

You agree to register with RingCentral immediately upon activation the address of the physical location where you will use the RingEX service, including each IP Desk Phone and each Softphone. This is your Registered Address. You agree that you will accurately register each individual line through the Account Administrative Portal for the applicable End User. If you or your End Users move a registered device to a new location, you agree to immediately update the Registered Address with the new physical location of the device with RingCentral through the Administrative Portal or in your account settings. You also may update the Registered Address at any time through https://service.ringcentral.com.au. You acknowledge that if you do not update the Registered Address, any emergency calls made from the device may be sent to the wrong emergency response center and will not transmit your current location information to emergency responders, delaying emergency assistance to you. The address update may not take effect immediately. Customers with more than one line or extension are solely responsible for ensuring that an accurate and up-to-date Registered Address is maintained for each line, and that their End Users are aware of how the Registered Address can be changed.

E. Notification of Employees, Guests, or Other Users

You agree to notify any employees, contractors, guests, or persons who may place calls using the Office Services or may be present at the physical location where the Office Services may be used, of the limitations of RingCentral emergency service dialing from Your RingEX IP phone, Softphone, or other equipment. You agree to affix a RingCentral-provided sticker warning that emergency dialing service may be limited or unavailable in a readily visible place on each piece of equipment that might be used to access or use the Office Services. You and Your End Users should always have an alternative means for placing emergency dialing calls and/or sending text messages to emergency numbers.

F. Disclaimer of Liability for Emergency Call Response

You acknowledge and agree that your use, and use by your employees and/or guests or other third parties, of RingCentral’s emergency services dialling are subject to the limitations described herein. The availability of certain features, such as transmission of a Registered Address or your RingCentral telephone number, depends on whether local emergency response centers support those features, and are factors outside of the RingCentral Parties’ control. RingCentral relies on third parties to assist us in routing emergency calls and text messages (where available) to local emergency response centers. RingCentral does not have control over local emergency response centers, emergency responders, or other third parties. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, you hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless the RingCentral Parties from and against any and all liability relating to or arising from any acts or omissions of such third parties or other third parties involved in the handling of or response to any emergency call. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the RingCentral Parties, and any third-party provider(s) from any and all third party claims, losses, damages, fines, or penalties arising out of (a) your provision to RingCentral of incorrect information, including physical addresses, or your failure to update your Registered Address; (b) your failure to properly notify any person who may place calls using the Office Services of the emergency calling limitations; or (c) the absence, failure, or outage of emergency service dialling using the Office Services for any reason; and (d) the inability of any user of the Office Services to be able to dial emergency services or access emergency service personnel for any reason.

B. Number Porting Policy

RingCentral will use reasonable commercial endeavours to facilitate number transfers or port requests for You, provided it is reasonably practicable to do so and that You comply with the necessary and specific procedures for porting between service providers. You acknowledge and accept that number porting depends on the co-operation of third parties outside of RingCentral’s control.

You agree to hold harmless all RingCentral Parties arising from or related to Your or any End User’s violation of the immediately preceding sentence.

8. CHARGES AND PLAN CREDITS

Please note that all prices, Taxes, surcharges, and fees are subject to change at any time. You are responsible for paying all charges for Your Account, including but not limited to (and by way of non-exhaustive examples only) free-phone, local, long distance and international minutes, additional feature charges, operator assisted charges, and directory assistance charges, and for all Taxes, surcharges, and fees imposed on You or RingCentral as a result of Your use of the Plan Services. If You have a past due balance on previous or multiple accounts, then You will be charged the full balance upon opening a new account or updating Your credit card information on file. RingCentral also reserves the right to charge termination and transfer fees consistent with, as provided in, the Agreement.

A. Charges and Plan Credits

RingCentral offers several different Plan options in connection with the provision of the Services. You may change Your Plan at any time; however, a one-time processing fee of (i) A$15 when ‘downgrading’ an existing Plan to a Plan with lower monthly fees (e.g., a plan with fewer minutes and/or features). In addition, certain Plans may entitle You to receive discounts on equipment used in connection with a particular Service. If You receive any equipment discounts associated with a Plan and subsequently change to an alternative Plan that does not offer those equipment discounts, You agree to reimburse RingCentral, and hereby authorise RingCentral to charge Your credit card on file, or invoice You, as applicable, for such equipment discounts.

B. Service Availability

You acknowledge and agree that the products and Services provided by RingCentral may not be available one hundred percent (100%) of the time. Credit allowances for interruption of the Plan Services may only be provided on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of RingCentral and shall be Your sole remedy for any Plan Services interruptions or other issues with the Plan Services.

C. Plan Credits and Minutes

Some Plans provide for a fixed number of monthly usage minutes ("Plan Credits"). If You exceed Your monthly Plan Credits during the course of a month, You may purchase additional Plan Credits as needed. RingCentral may also provide You with certain bonus credit minutes and/or other promotional incentives (e.g., ‘tell-a-friend’ credits) upon fulfilment of the applicable promotion requirements. As explained below, international calling may be charged at a different rate than domestic calling, and a Plan Credit ‘minute’ therefore will not entitle You to a minute of international calling (“International Minutes”).

D. Metered Calling Plans

RingCentral offers several monthly metered Plans for some of its products and services. Each metered calling Plan provides You with a freephone or local telephone number and a fixed number of Plan Credits each month for a monthly fee, excluding Taxes, surcharges, and fees. When You exhaust Your initial paid allotment of Plan Credits for Your metered Plan then, unless You advise RingCentral otherwise in writing, RingCentral will automatically bill Your Account for the smallest available bundle of Plan Credits for the applicable Service. Additional minute usage will be debited at the applicable per minute rate(s) for Your metered Plan. However, in some limited instances, calls placed under a metered Plan may not be counted against Your monthly allotment (e.g., calls made via a local phone number to leave or check voicemail or configure a system and calls answered on a Softphone). Please check the details of Your metered Plan to determine which calls (if any) are not counted against Your monthly minute allotment. For international calling, international rates will apply.

E. Unlimited Plan
