SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONIDITION OF SERVICE
The following information supplements your Service Agreement with Answer-All Secretarial Service, Inc. (the “Company”) and is provided so that you can better understand the terms and conditions of our service. To the extent that the Terms and Conditions of the Service Agreement differ from those contained below, the Terms and Conditions of the Service Agreement shall prevail.

Retention of Messages
Messages taken on the Subscriber’s behalf are retained for a period of eighty (80) days past the invoice date after which they may not be available.

Audio Recording
All conversations and communications received and placed by the Company on Company telephone lines are recorded for quality assurance purposes. These recordings are maintained for eighty (80) days from the date of recording after which they may not be available.

Billing and Payment Terms
All statement/invoices include the upcoming base charges, and will reflect the past billing period’s charges in excess of stated allotments. Payments received after the current billing date will be posted on the next statement/invoice. All billing should be examined upon receipt. Any objections to accuracy of the bill must be communicated to us within 15 days. If we don’t hear from you within 15 days, we will consider the bill accurate and will not consider further objections.

Billing Practices
The Subscriber is billed for all basic fees and services in advance, any overcalls (calls in excess of the call unit allowance), additional minutes (time in excess of the time allowance included in the basic fee), or extra charges incurred since the last billing date. A call unit is considered to be any incoming call, any attempt to page, email, fax, text message or any other outgoing call made on the Subscriber’s behalf. The Subscriber shall reimburse the Company for telephone expenses incurred in non-local outgoing calls on its behalf. If the Subscriber is being billed in whole or in part for live operator service and/or voice mail or fax services on a time basis, then “time basis ” as used herein for live operator service means all operator time accumulated when an employee is actively working in your account. “Time basis” for voice mail or fax services means telephone connect time and/or computer disk storage time. We also bill most accounts on a per incoming call basis and this service is any call that is answered – even if there is no caller on the line, or it is a recording. The amounts quoted on your agreement for service are an estimate of the charges for your account and other periodic charges may apply. Since all customer accounts vary with the amount of time required to accept and deliver a message, your rate may be subject to change from time to time based upon actual usage.

Nonpayment Policy
Charges are due and payable to Company upon receipt. After the date of the next statement/invoice, the Company will levy a late charge which reflects the extra expense involved in collecting the charges due. In the event of non-payment, the Company may, without limiting its other rights, withhold messages, interrupt or terminate service without notice. Such interruption of service does not relieve the Subscriber of responsibility for all accrued charges. The Subscriber shall be liable for all collection fees, including interest on all unpaid amounts at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) or the highest rate permitted by law, attorney’s fees and other costs incurred in the collection of monies due to the Company.

Termination Notice
The Company will continue providing the Subscriber with the services listed on the front of this statement/invoice until cancelled in writing by either party. Cancellation shall be effective at the end of the billing cycle following the billing cycle in which written notice of cancellation is received. There will be no refunds or credits for portions of a billing cycle or unused service.

Disclaimer of Liability
THE COMPANY CANNOT AND DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHERWISE, RESULTING FROM ANY FAILURE TO RECEIVE OR DELIVER MESSAGES. EVEN WHERE SUCH A FAILURE IS A RESULT OF THE COMPANY’S NEGLIGENCE, MISCONDUCT, ERROR OR OMISSION. THE COMPANY’S LIABILITY SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE CHARGES PAYABLE BY THE SUBSCRIBER FOR THE DAYS ON WHICH SUCH ACT OR OMISSION OCCURRED. ACCORDINGLY, YOU AND YOUR INSURER SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THIS EXPRESS DISCLAIMER OF YOUR LIABILITY IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF YOUR CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY.

The Subscriber will protect, indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any claim or liability that may be asserted by anyone else, including your insurer, in the event of loss, injury, or damage to property or persons sought to be protected by this service, even if such loss, injury or damage results in or is claimed to have resulted from the Company’s negligence, misconduct or omission.
