The term "inactive" is defined as no usage on a specific number/service and no upcoming reservations scheduled for such number/service. The Dial-In Numbers will be reassigned to the Customer, upon request, in GCS's sole discretion only if such Dial-In Numbers continue to be available, otherwise Customer will be provided new Dial-In Numbers.

Service Security. GCS utilizes industry-accepted measures and standards to maintain the security and confidentiality of Customer's content and personally identifiable information.

Following such payment, GCS may reinstate Services to Customer only upon satisfactory assurance of Customer's ability to pay for Services, including modified payment terms such as prepayment and weekly invoicing. Such suspension shall not relieve Customer of payment liability accrued through the date of such suspension.

Taxes. All rates provided to Customer do not include taxes. Customer shall pay all applicable federal, state, county, local or other governmental taxes, fees, duties, tolls, surcharges or other charges now or hereafter imposed that are attributable to the Services.

Trademarks and Trade Names.

Despite prior approval, Customer will immediately cease using the Marks upon notice from GCS. Any use by Customer of the Marks other than as described above will constitute a breach of these Terms and Conditions for which, in additional to any other remedies available at law or in equity, GCS may terminate the Customer's accounts.

Responsibility For Your Account. Customer is responsible for all uses of the Services in association with Customer's account, whether or not authorized by Customer. Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Customer's account and owner numbers and necessary conference codes, passwords and personal identification numbers used in conjunction with the Services.

In operating the Web Site and the Services, GCS may act as a “services provider” (as defined by DMCA) and offer services as online provider of materials and GCSs to third party web sites. As a result, third party materials that GCS does not own or control may be transmitted, stored, accessed or otherwise made available using the Web Site. GCS has in place certain legally mandated procedures regarding allegations of copyright infringement occurring on the Website. GCS has adopted a policy that provides for the immediate removal of any content or the suspension of any user that is found to have infringed on the rights of GCS or of a third party, or that has otherwise violated any intellectual property laws or regulations, or any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you believe any material available via the Web Site infringes a copyright, you should notify us using the notice procedure for claimed infringement under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. Sect. 512(c)(2)). GCS will respond expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing and will follow the procedures specified in the DMCA to resolve the claim between the notifying party and the alleged infringer who provided the Content. Our designated agent (i.e., proper party for notice) to whom you should address infringement notices under the DMCA is Copyright Agent.

Please provide the following notice:

1. Identify the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed
2. Identify the material on the Site that you claim is infringing, with enough detail so that we may locate it on the Site
3. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
4. A statement by you declaring under penalty of perjury that (a) the above information in your notice is accurate, and (b) that you are the owner of the copyright interest involved or that you are authorized to act on behalf of that owner
5. Your address, telephone number, and email address; and
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

GCS may give notice to our users of any infringement notice by means of a general notice on any of our websites, electronic mail to a user's e-mail address in our records, or by written communication sent by first-class mail to a user's physical address in our records. If you receive such an infringement notice, you may provide counter-notification in writing to the designated agent that includes the information below. To be effective, the counter-notification must be a written communication that includes the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled
3. A statement from you under the penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and

Your name, physical address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of a Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your physical address is located, or if your physical address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of allegedly infringing material or an agent of such person.

Miscellaneous. Any failure of a party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be expressly waived in writing by the other party, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah and the United States without giving effect to the conflict-of-laws principles thereof that would require the application of the laws of a different state.

Such causes include (without limitation) acts of terrorism, wars, hostilities, revolutions, riots, civil commotion, national emergency, fire, flood, force of nature, explosion, embargo, accidents, acts of God, labor disputes, action of any governmental agency, a malfunction of a third party's telephone lines, equipment or services which is necessary to provide the Services, or stability or availability of the Internet, or portion thereof.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all remedies provided for in these Terms and Conditions shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either party at law, in equity, or otherwise.

Customer authorizes GCS's monitoring including recording of calls for the purposes of quality assurance and Customer further consents to GCS's to contact Customer.
