We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time. Any updates to these Terms shall be posted on this website. You acknowledge your responsibility to review these Terms from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By continuing to use any of the Park Lane Sites or Services after we post any such changes, you accept these Terms, as modified.

2. The Services
Services described on the Park Lane Sites may or may not be available in all countries or regions of the world, may be available under different trademarks in different countries and, where applicable, may be approved or cleared by a government regulatory body for sale or use with different indications and restrictions in different countries. You agree to use the Parklane Services in accordance with all applicable guidelines as well as all state and federal laws that the Services are subject to.

The Services consist of one or more of the following: a web-based interface, access to incoming telephone number or keywords, Direct Inward Dialing Numbers (“DIDs”), messaging applications, voice broadcast applications, SMS and MMS gateway access, data encryption, data transmission, data access, data storage and, if applicable, synchronization software, as well as software maintenance and upgrades and customer support, that enable you to send SMS messages, MMS messages and/or voice broadcasts to recipients designated by you (collectively, the “Services”). We transmit messages initiated by you or sent to you by others through different routes, and the level of reliability and support for special features varies according to the route. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all computer hardware, software and communications equipment needed to access and use the Services, and for paying all access charges (e.g., ISP, telecommunications) incurred while using the Services.

Parklane only provides that the Services are processed correctly and further transmitted by Parklane to the applicable downstream network. Parklane is not responsible for the final delivery of any communication initiated by you through the Services, as this is out of our control and is the responsibility of downstream communications carriers.

Parklane transmits and receives voice, SMS, and MMS messages via other major telecommunications companies and mobile network operators, and thus Parklane’s influence over the timing of the transmission of your messages is within the technical constraints imposed upon Parklane. While Parklane shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transmit your messages and broadcasts to the applicable network for final delivery to your designated recipients as fast as possible, we cannot commit to, and do not guarantee, a specific maximum delivery time. Such times depend on various network and system-related factors among the various entities involved in the transmission of your messages across the public switched telephone network and/or Internet. You should know that communications carriers assign messages with a default lifetime and any message that cannot be delivered successfully within the lifetime assigned to it will be discarded by the communications carrier without any notice. Parklane is not liable for any loss incurred by the failure of a message to be delivered, and you acknowledge that damages for financial or other loss resulting from delivery failure cannot be claimed from Parklane for any such non-deliveries. Furthermore, you agree that message contents are deemed to have zero value.

3. Usage Policy

Parklane hereby grants a worldwide, fully paid-up, perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to you to use the Park Lane Sites and Services solely for the purpose of operating the Park Lane Sites and using the Services.

We may have copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights covering subject matter in the Services, including the web pages that are part of the Services and the Park Lane Sites. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, the availability of the Services and the Park Lane Sites does not give you any license to these patents, trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual property. All copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets and other intellectual proprietary rights contained in the Park Lane Sites are the sole property of Parklane or its licensors, each of whom reserves all rights with regard to such materials. You acknowledge and agree that you may not copy, reproduce, retransmit, modify, alter, create any derivative works, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the Services or Park Lane Sites, including any proprietary communications protocol used by the Services or the Park Lane Sites without the express written permission of Parklane. All other trademarks or trade names are the property of their respective owners, and such material may not be copied, downloaded, redistributed, modified or otherwise exploited, in whole or in part, without the permission of the owner.

Parklane abides by the federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by responding to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable laws. As part of our response, we may remove or disable access to material residing on a site that is controlled or operated by Parklane that is claimed to be infringing, in which case we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the person who submitted the affected material so that they may make a counter notification, also in accordance with the DMCA. Parklane does not control content hosted on third party websites, and cannot remove content from sites it does not own or control. If you are the copyright owner of content hosted on a third party site, and you have not authorized the use of your content, please contact the administrator of that website directly to have the content removed.

Before serving either a Notice of Infringing Material or Counter-Notification, you may wish to contact a lawyer to better understand your rights and obligations under the DMCA and other applicable laws. The following notice requirements are intended to comply with Parklane’s rights and obligations under the DMCA and, in particular, section 512(c), and do not constitute legal advice.

Notice of Infringing Material

To file a notice of infringing material on a site owned or controlled by Parklane, please provide a notification containing the following details:

Reasonably sufficient details to enable us to identify the work claimed to be infringed or, if multiple works are claimed to be infringed, a representative list of such works (for example: title, author, any registration or tracking number, URL);

8. Data Protection & Privacy
In order to ensure your compliance with these Terms and to ensure that Parklane complies with national and international laws, we may, from time to time, randomly check the messages that you send. Nonetheless, we are committed to maintaining the privacy of your information, pursuant to our Privacy Policy, located at http://www.callfire.com/legal/privacy. Except as otherwise required for your use of the Services as contemplated herein, Parklane does not want you to, and you should not, send any confidential or proprietary information to Parklane via the Park Lane Sites or the email addresses referenced on the Park Lane Sites.

You further recognize that Parklane does not want you to, and you warrant that you shall not, provide any information or materials to Parklane that is defamatory, threatening, obscene, harassing, or otherwise unlawful, or that incorporates the proprietary material of another.

9. Payments
Your use of the Services is contingent on your paying for such use (whether paid in advance or through the purchase of credits on the Park Lane Sites), in the amounts and using the methods indicated on the Park Lane Sites. Your payment for the Services, Credits (as defined below in Section 10), keywords, DIDs, usage-sensitive fees and/or plans (a portion of which also includes software maintenance and upgrades, as well as customer support) shall be deemed completed when Parklane receives the full amount of payment owed for such Services, Credits, keywords, DIDs and/or plans. You are responsible to pay for any message or broadcast you attempt to send to any number, regardless of whether the message is actually received by the intended recipient. As Parklane is dependent on other entities for the delivery of your messages and broadcasts, our price per credit may require adjustment in order to account for costs that are not in our control. Accordingly, we may adjust our prices from time to time without prior notice.

Parklane will charge your indicated method of payment for the Services, Credits, keywords, DIDs and/or plans immediately upon your confirming the payment method and amount. Amounts to be charged may include sales and other taxes where applicable and any other amounts indicated on the Site. Parklane will assess an additional charge based on the costs Parklane incurs for porting each DID number assigned to you that you request to be ported within six months of the original assignment by Parklane and Parklane may further restrict the ability to port telephone numbers assigned to you by Parklane consistent with FCC regulations. Your account will be credited within 24 hours of Parklane verifying receipt of your payment. If you have elected to make a payment by credit card and we do not receive payment from the credit card issuer, you agree to pay all amounts due immediately upon demand by Parklane.

Parklane cannot readily or accurately ascertain your location when you request to use the Services. You therefore agree that your use of the Services occurs in Illinois and is subject to any applicable Illinois taxes. To the extent that you are responsible for any additional taxes or fees beyond those collected by Parklane, you agree that you will pay them when due to any applicable taxing authority, including any interest or penalties assessed.

Parklane shall not be responsible for any errors or transmission failures with regard to the charging and collection of funds from your indicated payment method, nor for any actions taken by the provider of the payment method you choose (which could include refusal to authorize the charge). In addition to these Terms, any payments made by you may be subject to the agreement between you and the provider of the payment method.



11. No Warranty; Limitation of Liability
Parklane reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the offering of any of the Park Lane Sites or Services at any time for any reason without prior notice.

You acknowledge that your messages are transmitted unencrypted and that eavesdropping of communications by third parties is possible. Parklane recommends that you ensure sensitive and valuable information is communicated by a protected and/or encrypted method.

Parklane will not be liable for any act or omission of any other company or companies furnishing a portion of the Services (including, without limitation communications carriers or ISPs), or from any act or omission of a third party, including those vendors participating in Parklane offerings made to you, or for equipment that it does not furnish, or for damages that result from the operation of customer-provided systems, equipment, facilities or services that are interconnected with the Service.

12. User Warranties; Indemnification
You warrant and represent to Parklane that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in these Terms or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation.

You agree to cooperate as fully as reasonably required in the defense of any claim, suit, action, proceeding, governmental investigation or enforcement action, but we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter in which you are a named party and that is otherwise subject to indemnification by you. You acknowledge and agree to be held liable for any and all damages caused to Parklane by you as a direct result of a violation of local, state, national or international laws and regulations, including but not limited to those damages that may arise from your fraudulent, intentional or unintentional harm, disability, unauthorized use of, or destruction to any and all equipment, licensing and/or services provided by Parklane to you.

13. Termination, Cancellation and/or Suspension by Parklane
If at any time you breach these Terms, we may elect to suspend, terminate, and/or cancel your use of the Services and/or recover any damages from you arising from the event(s) giving rise to the suspension, termination, or cancellation. We reserve the right to suspend the Services at any stage for any reason we may deem necessary to continue to provide our Services in a way that may be hindered by your status as being our client, your financial status or the content of the messages or broadcasts originating from you.

Upon any such termination, cancellation, and/or suspension, you are still responsible for any obligations then accrued. Your obligation to pay all amounts accrued and owed by you shall continue even after any suspension or cancellation of your access to the Services (in whole or in part). Upon termination, for any reason, you agree to immediately cease using the Services and Parklane shall have no obligation to you after any termination or cancellation of these Terms.

Should such a termination take place when you still have credits in your account, you shall receive back, at our discretion, a fair monetary value of such credits, save any expenses that may be incurred by Parklane, including, without limitation, for payment of transfer duties, legal costs, third-party costs, or penalties.

The provisions regarding ownership, payments, warranties, and indemnifications will survive any suspension, termination, or cancellation of your use of the Services or Park Lane Sites.

14. Termination by the User
You are free to terminate or cancel your use of the Services at any time, and for any reason. If you are on a monthly plan or pay for monthly Keywords or DIDs, login to your account, downgrade to Pay & Go and cancel any Keyword or DID subscriptions you may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless due to a breach solely by Parklane that it fails to cure within thirty (30) days of its receipt of your notice, in no event shall Parklane be obligated to refund to you the reasonable value of any unused credits previously purchased by you.

15. Links to other Websites
The Park Lane Sites may contain links to third party websites. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by Parklane of the contents on such third-party websites. Parklane is not responsible for the content of linked third-party websites and does not make any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such third-party websites. If you decide to access linked third-party websites, you do so at your own risk.

Parklane strongly encourages you to make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or off-line transaction with any of these third parties.

Parklane consents to links to the Park Lane Sites which conform to the following: the appearance, position, and other aspects of any link to the Park Lane Sites may neither create the false appearance that an entity or its activities or products are associated with or sponsored by Parklane nor be such as to damage or dilute the goodwill associated with the name and trademarks of Parklane or its affiliates. Parklane reserves the right to revoke this consent to link at any time in its sole discretion, without notice.

16. Security Rules
You are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of the Park Lane Sites and Services and from using the Park Lane Sites and Services to violate the security of other websites by any method, including, without limitation: (a) accessing data not intended for you or logging into a server or account which you are not authorized to access; (b) attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measurers without proper authorization; (c) attempting to interfere with service to any user of the Park Lane Sites or Services, host or network, including, without limitation, via means of submitting a virus to the Park Lane Sites, overloading, “flooding,” “spamming,” “mailbombing,” or “crashing”; (d) sending unsolicited e-mail, including promotions and/or advertising of products or services; or (e) forging any Parklane packet header or any part of the header information in any e-mail, instant message, text message or newsgroup posting.

17. Force Majeure
Parklane shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations hereunder, which such failure or delay is caused by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of war, insurrection, terrorism, strike, failure or downtime of any telecommunications line and/or unavailability of any telecommunications or Internet facilities, power failure, governmental restrictions, any court order, compliance with any law, regulation, or order of any governmental authority, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Parklane. In addition, Parklane shall be so excused in the event it is unable to acquire from its usual sources, and on terms it deems to be reasonable, any material necessary for the performance of the Services.

18. Choice of Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois notwithstanding its laws governing conflicts of laws. Except as hereinafter provided, any dispute arising under these Terms shall be settled and determined by binding arbitration in Santa Monica, Illinois in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9. U.S.C. §§1-16, as amended (the “Federal Arbitration Act”), to the exclusion of state laws inconsistent therewith. The terms of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”) then in effect shall apply except to the extent they conflict with the express provisions of this paragraph. A single independent arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration. The parties shall endeavor to select the independent arbitrator by mutual agreement. If such agreement cannot be reached within thirty (30) days after a dispute has arisen which is to be decided by arbitration, the selection of the arbitrator shall be made in accordance with the Rules as then in effect. The arbitrator shall be a member of a state bar engaged in the practice of law in the United States or a retired member of a state or the federal judiciary in the United States. The award of the arbitrator shall be based on the evidence admitted and the substantive law of the State of Illinois (subject to any applicable preemption or supersedence by U.S. federal substantive law) and shall contain an award for each issue and counterclaim. The award shall be made within thirty (30) days following the close of the final hearing and the filing of any post-hearing briefs authorized by the arbitrator, and such award shall set forth in writing the factual findings and legal reasoning for such award. The arbitrator may, in his/her discretion, award to any party specific performance or injunctive relief (the foregoing is not intended to limit Parklane’s access to the courts to the extent provided below). The arbitrator may not change, modify, or alter any express condition, term, or provision of these Terms or the extent the scope of their authority is expressly limited. Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the arbitration award will be final and binding upon the parties and no appeal of any kind may be taken. Judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall be entitled to inspect and obtain a copy of non-privileged relevant documents in the possession or control of the other party. All such discovery shall be in accordance with procedures approved by the arbitrator. Unless otherwise provided in the award, each party shall bear its own costs of discovery. The statute of limitations applicable under Illinois law to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the commencement of arbitration hereunder.

Anything in the foregoing paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, Parklane may seek injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction over the parties to enjoin or prevent any action you take or threaten to take in violation of these Terms.

These Terms are only those stated herein, which shall constitute the complete agreement between the parties. No terms and conditions stated in or attached to your communications to Parklane are applicable to these Terms in any way and are not to be considered your exceptions to the provisions of these Terms.

19. Miscellaneous
The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Parklane in any respect whatsoever. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under these Terms, Parklane will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys' fees if it substantially prevails.

All notices required hereunder shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; and upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Parklane may give notice to you by means of a general notice on the Park Lane Sites or Services, electronic mail to your e-mail address on record in Parklane’s account information, or by written communication sent by personal delivery, fax, overnight courier, or certified or registered mail to your address on record in Parklane's account information.
