Lab Nine has no control over Operator use of Customer data, and expressly disclaims any obligation to compel any Operator conduct, or to disclose any information to Customer the disclosure of which is the responsibility of the Operator. 

If you are subject to the GDPR, as defined above and in our Privacy Policy, the Operator is the “data processor” of any information actually received by, or in the possession of, an Operator. Lab Nine is not, as to such information. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) the services provided by any Operator by means of a wireless network or the Internet, are “as is”, “where is” and “when available”; (b) Lab Nine is not responsible for the availability of any Operator, or the availability and/or performance of the wireless network or the Internet; and (c) Lab Nine is not responsible for any damages or costs Customer suffers or incurs as a result of any instructions given, actions taken or omissions made by Customer.

If Lab Nine believes that Customer is in violation of its SMS messaging policy, it may, without notice, in addition to all other remedies available to it, take such action as it deems appropriate, including but not limited to the following: requiring Customer to send SMS messages via a dedicated short code; blocking the delivery of Customer SMS messages and suspending use of the Service provided.

 

 

10. Telephone “Turbo Dialer” Service Policy

Customer understands and acknowledges that Lab Nine does not and is not required to provide Emergency Service, where “Emergency Service” is defined as services that connect a user to emergency services personnel or a public safety answering point (“PSAP”), pursuant to applicable regulatory requirements. In the United States, Emergency Service is provided by dialing the digits “911” on a wired or a wireless telephone. Services provided by Lab Nine do not permit the dialing of “911” or any other emergency telephone numbers.

Lab Nine does not provide Emergency Service in conjunction with the Software Suite, the Service or any other services that may be used by Customer in connection with the Service. Lab Nine, its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, affiliates nor agents will be liable for any claim, damage, or loss arising from, or relating to, Customer’s use of any other service provided hereunder to contact a PSAP or Emergency Services personnel. Customer specifically waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all such claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to Lab Nine’s services or any other service provided hereunder to contact a PSAP or other Emergency Services personnel. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lab Nine, its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, affiliates and agents from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys fees) arising out of the fact that Lab Nine does not offer Emergency Service.

Customer agrees to comply with all federal, state and/or local law (including, without limitation, 47 USC § 227) related to or connected with providing, selling, licensing and delivering information services and telecommunications services and products. Customer assumes all liability and responsibility for use of the Service in compliance with any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations pertaining to the use of telephones, email, fax, automated telephonic equipment, automatic telephone dialing systems, artificial or prerecorded voice messages, and other telephony and telecommunications products and services. Customer’s limitations on its use of the Service may include but are not limited to: commercial solicitations; advertisements; delivering artificial or prerecorded telephonic messages to homes, businesses, hospitals, cellular phones or paging systems without the prior consent of the called party; and restrictions on the time of day in which such calls are permissible. A violation of any such laws may result in substantial penalties and other sanctions. Any person intending to use the Service for solicitation purposes and/or for any other purpose regulated by federal, state or local laws should consult with his or her own legal counsel, prior to entering into this Agreement to determine the extent of permissible activities. To assist Customer in complying with certain laws, rules, and regulations relevant to direct marketing and to help Customer determine if a particular phone number is a wireless phone number, Lab Nine may obtain and make available as part of the Services via a third party service provider standard third party wireless number lists (the “Wireless Lists”). In the event such Wireless Lists are made available by Lab Nine, Customer may submit a phone number to Lab Nine, in a manner and format to be determined by Lab Nine, to check against the Wireless Lists to determine if the number submitted matches a number on such lists. Lab Nine disclaims any obligation to conduct such checks absent a Customer request. Customer requests to check a phone number against a Wirelist List or any other list may be subject to further fees as stated on your Order Form. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Lab Nine makes no representations, warranties or covenants relating to the availability of the Wireless Lists at any particular time during the Term of this Agreement. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that, while Lab Nine may make available the Wireless Lists to assist Customer in complying with certain laws, rules, and regulations relevant to direct marketing, Customer’s use of the Wireless Lists could generate results that are not compliant with such laws due to inaccuracies or errors in the Wireless Lists as provided by their publishers. Lab Nine DOES NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE WIRELESS LISTS OR THE USE OF SUCH WIRELESS LISTS TO ENSURE CUSTOMER’S COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, Lab Nine DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THAT THE WIRELESS LISTS WILL BE ACCURATE OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE USE OF SUCH WIRELESS LISTS WILL ACCURATELY INDICATE WHETHER ANY PHONE NUMBER SUBMITTED BY CUSTOMER TO Lab Nine IS OR IS NOT A WIRELESS NUMBER. Lab Nine shall have no responsibility or liability to Customer, under this Agreement or otherwise, with respect to (x) any inaccuracies or errors in the Wireless Lists; and (y) Customer’s use of the results obtained from accessing the Wireless Lists. Customer agrees that Lab Nine will not be responsible for Customer’s use of the Service, and Customer agrees to indemnify Lab Nine for any claims, liabilities or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lab Nine based upon Customer’s use of the Service in any manner not in compliance with federal, state or local laws (including any private right of action thereunder). Customer is solely responsible for obtaining the consent of or a release from those persons or entities, to whom or to which Customer intends to send communications or Messages using the Service. Customer agrees to periodically review the list of recipients to be contacted, to contact only those persons who the Customer is legally permitted to contact from Customer Data, and only in the manner permitted, under federal, state and local law, and to delete those recipients that no longer wish to receive communications from Customer. If Customer is advised by any party that they do not wish to receive communications from Customer, then Customer agrees to promptly add those parties to its internal company-specific Do Not Call List, and thereafter refrain from calling such parties. If Lab Nine determines, in its sole discretion, that the receipt of communications via the Service is not consensual, or violates any federal, state and/or local rule and regulation, or is harassing to consumers or businesses, Lab Nine may suspend the Turbo Dialer service for Customer until Lab Nine is reasonably satisfied that the violation is cured. Such suspension does not terminate Customer’s obligations to pay any sums due under a Customer Order. 

Customer agrees that usage of Turbo Dialer will not exceed two thousand (2,000) minutes of calling time per license each month (“Reasonable Usage Limit”). In circumstances where Customer exceeds the Reasonable Usage Limit, Lab Nine may charge Customer for minutes of call time used that exceed two thousand minutes of calling time per license at five (5) cents per minute.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) Turbo Dialer is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis; (b) Lab Nine does not warrant that the Turbo Dialer service will be uninterrupted or that all communications will be delivered; (c) Lab Nine makes no warranties, expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties or merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose in relation to Turbo Dialer; and (d) Customer understands that Turbo Dialer may be inaccessible or inoperable for reasons outside of Lab Nine’s control including but not limited to (i) Customer equipment malfunctions; or (ii) service interruptions caused by independent telecommunication providers.

Turbo Dialer multi-line dialing customers agree to record and maintain a safe harbor message that complies with the Federal Trade Commission ”Telemarketing Sales Rule” by stating the name and telephone number of the seller on whose behalf a call is placed.

By using any of Lab Nine’s Services (also referred to as “CRM”) with other parts of the Service, you understand that all Contact Information will be stored in a unified database of Contacts associated with your subscription, and that all workflows you use will pull from this unified list of Contacts.

If you use our CRM, you may see fields in our company database marked with an orange dot, or highlighted in some other way. These fields are those that we let our CRM users update, to aim to keep our company database as current as possible. If you choose to submit updated information to these fields, you grant us the right to use such information in any manner that we choose (including, without limitation, publicly), without any payment or attribution to you.

We may also disable your ability, or charge you a fee, to make calls to certain countries if we choose to, even if we generally offer outbound calling to these countries. One reason we may do this is if you are making a disproportionate or excessive number of calls to these countries.

Certain features of the CRM allow you to integrate your email account with the CRM. By enabling those features, you grant us access to your incoming mail, inbox history, and contacts to enable us to identify relevant emails to be stored within the CRM.

You understand that the correspondences you track will be visible to other users on your CRM team.
