BBS 900(tm) Service Agreement
1. Description of Service.
AudioText Services, Inc., hereinafter, AUDIOTEXT, agrees to
provide 900 number service to Client to be used in conjunction
with the BBS 900 software. This shall include programming the
extension that will identify the Client's BBS. The service will
provide callers with a unique redemption code which can then be
used towards getting access time on the client's BBS.
2. Responsibilities of Client.
A. Client shall strictly adhere to the following guidelines when
advertising the 900 number:
1. Callers under 18 must get parental permission.
2. Charge for the call shall be shown at all times when the
900 number is shown.
3. Advertising in places other than the BBS must be approved
by AUDIOTEXT prior to the ad appearing.
4. All such other requirements as may be imposed by MCI or
any regulatory or governmental body.
B. Client shall provide the callers to their BBS who enter a
proper redemption code, access on that BBS for the appropriate
amount of time.
C. Client shall notify AUDIOTEXT, in writing, at least 30 days in
advance of any changes to the Client's address, telephone number,
BBS phone number(s) or if Client is no longer able to provide access
to users who call the 900 service and receive a valid redemption code
or if Client will no longer be using the BBS 900 software.
D. Client shall provide a permanent account on their BBS for
AUDIOTEXT with access to the BBS 900 software. The account shall be
named AUDIOTEXT and password of 900xxx where xxx is the BBS ID code.
3. Payments and charges.
A. Callers to the 900 service will be billed $10 for calling
900-443-4227 or $25 for calling 900-443-2279.
B. AUDIOTEXT will receive a Net Revenue payment from The Carrier.
Net Revenues are defined as the amount billed to the caller less
charges from The Carrier for billing and transport, any
applicable taxes, adjustments resulting from caller inquiry, or
any other charges. These payments are established in a standard
agreement between AUDIOTEXT and The Carrier. The client will
receive revenue as defined in attachment "A" for each call to
their extension that results in the provision of a redemption
code to the caller, subject to the provisions of 3C below.
C. The Net Payment may be further adjusted by AUDIOTEXT to account
for chargebacks. Chargebacks are defined as any adjustment from
The Carrier other than billing fees, transport and any
applicable taxes. AUDIOTEXT reserves the right to modify
the amount held as a result of chargebacks or caller abuse.
D. Remittance of Net Payment after service charges and holdbacks
will be made once per month to client and within 10 days after
receipt by AUDIOTEXT from The Carrier. Receipt of payments from
The Carrier typically occurs 60-90 days from the date the call
was made and is solely under the the control of The Carrier.
E. Client acknowledges that extensions to the 900 number will be
provided to others and that this agreement is non-exclusive. In
the event the calling detail provided to AUDIOTEXT by the
Carrier is not, in AUDIOTEXT's sole opinion, sufficient to
allocate chargebacks to specific extensions, then AUDIOTEXT
shall allocate to Client a pro rata percentage of such
chargebacks. The pro rata share shall be determined by the
ratio of Client's Net Revenue to the total net revenues for all
extensions multiplied by the amount of chargebacks to be
allocated.
4. Term.
The term of this service agreement shall be one year, after which
time it will automatically renew for one year periods thereafter.
This agreement may be terminated without cause by either party by
giving 30 days written notice to the other. AUDIOTEXT may terminate
this agreement immediately if client breaches any part of this
agreement or if The Carrier terminates or threatens to terminate
service for any reason, in which case AUDIOTEXT may withhold all
revenue for up to twelve months in accordance with the carriers
guidelines for chargebacks.
5. Indemnification and Force Majeure.
A. Each party covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the
other harmless from and against all claims (whether valid or
invalid), public or private, or otherwise, and any and all other
