TERMS OF USE

Last updated on September 11th, 2017


Thank you for visiting the CarrierX Terms of Use page. CarrierX is a cloud communication company that enables our customers to connect to our network using either a self service portal or APIs (collectively "Services") so that customers can integrate telecommunication capabilities into their software applications, mobile applications, web applications and desktop applications.

These Terms of Use ("Terms" or "Agreement") apply to your access and usage of the CarrierX Services. Services means every aspect of our platform which includes, but is not limited to all programs, features, functions, reports, code samples, documentation, Application Endpoints, the CarrierX Portal, technical support and application programming interfaces (APIs).

These Terms include our Privacy Policy, our Billing Policy and our Registration Form which are available through the hyperlinks set forth below and are incorporated herein by reference.

PLEASE REVIEW THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. ONCE ACCEPTED, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY AND WILL ABIDE BY THESE TERMS, AND YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH CARRIERX. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU SHOULD NOT CLICK THE "I AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS" BUTTON PRESENTED DURING THE SIGN UP PROCESS AND YOU SHOULD NOT USE CARRIERX SERVICES.

The terminology "we," "us," "our," or "CarrierX" used in this Agreement refers to CarrierX LLC, 4300 E. Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, CA 90804. The terminology "your," "you," "Customer," or "user" refer to you. If a CarrierX account has been created by you on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to the Terms on behalf of that organization and are making a commitment to CarrierX that you have the authority to bind that organization to our Terms. If the organization has a separate commercial agreement with CarrierX then that commercial agreement will define the Terms of Use for your account.

CARRIERX DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY WARRANTIES FOR ITS SERVICES, AND THESE TERMS LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU. ALL DISPUTES RELATED TO THE CARRIERX SERVICES OR THESE TERMS MUST BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS IN ACCORDANCE TO SECTION 14.

Phone Numbers: You acknowledge and accept that CarrierX is the "customer of record" for all phone numbers available within its Services and that CarrierX has the authority to reclaim numbers in accordance to the following: (a.)

If CarrierX decides to reclaim a phone number from an active account, we will send you a notification via email with at least one (1) week notice advising you of the action, unless an applicable regulatory or government agency has prevented us from doing so.

Notifications: CarrierX does not need to provide you with any courtesy notifications in the event your account is suspended due to lack of payment, suspended due to suspected fraud or is in a trial mode.
