You agree that you have read and understand the Electronic Messaging Laws and any similar state or provincial/territorial laws, and all other applicable laws and regulations. You understand that in some cases, applicable state and local restrictions are more restrictive than the federal rules. You should review these rules with your own legal counsel to ensure that you understand and comply. Coral Messaging will not assume responsibility for ensuring that your activities meet applicable legal requirements. Coral Messaging will not assume any liability if you are ever held guilty or found liable for any violation of law, rule or regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that Coral Messaging has and is taking active steps to help support the compliance of its customers, including by having you agree to these Terms.

You understand and acknowledge that it is generally a violation of federal law, including the TCPA, to contact a consumer by phone, text or email without prior express written consent. Coral Messaging is not responsible for ensuring that you do not transmit messages to consumers, including by telephone or email in violation of the consent rules.  You and not Coral Messaging are solely responsible for the content of your messages, and its compliance with all applicable law. You acknowledge and agree that Coral Messaging acts solely as a service provider to allow the sending of your messages, but that you exercise control over the message content and destination, and must ensure your messages comply with all applicable laws.​

19. Governing Law

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed exclusively by the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules. The state and federal courts located in the State of New York, District of Manhattan, New York City, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each party also waives any right to jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to this Agreement.   

20. Fees and Payment

Fees. Unless otherwise specified on the applicable Customer Agreement, the Services are provided on an ongoing, per license subscription-basis including automatically recurring payments for periodic charges, according to the terms and conditions referenced in the Customer Agreement ("Subscription"). Client agrees to pay to Coral Messaging the fees for the Subscription to the Services ("Subscription Fees") and any additional fees (if applicable), all as set forth in the applicable Customer Agreement (collectively, the "Fees"). Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Customer Agreement, unless Client terminates a Free Access Subscription prior to the lapse of the Free Access Subscription term, such Services will convert to a paid Subscription and Client agrees to pay Coral Messaging the applicable Subscription Fees according to the terms of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Customer Agreement, payment for all Fees is due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.

Payment of Fees. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Customer Agreement, all Subscription Fees will be paid annually or monthly in advance as specified in the Customer Agreement, though overage fees (if any) may be charged in arrears, and all references to currency set forth herein will mean U.S. dollars, with all payments hereunder to be made in U.S. dollars. Subscription Fees are non-refundable and non-creditable. If the payment method selected on the applicable Customer Agreement is credit card, ACH, or direct debit, Client authorizes Coral Messaging to charge the Subscription Fees automatically, on an auto-renew basis on your Subscription Start Date (as defined below) for each subsequent Subscription Term. For the avoidance of doubt, all additional Subscription Fees for additional Services accessed by Client will be billed when the Service is first accessed by Client and automatically, on an auto-renew basis on Client’s existing Subscription Start Date. The Subscription will continue unless and until you or Coral Messaging terminate your Subscription. You must cancel your Subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fees to your account. If Client elects to pay by credit card, then you are responsible for both (a) enabling auto-recharge on your account and (b) ensuring that your account has a sufficient positive balance to cover all Fees when due. Should Coral Messaging be unable to process/receive the Fees when due and owing, payment shall be considered overdue. After payment becomes overdue, Coral Messaging shall have the right to immediately suspend Client’s access to the Services and/or seek to enforce Client’s payment obligations including through the use of third-party services.

 

Taxes. Coral Messaging’s Fees are exclusive of all taxes, and Client must pay any applicable taxes or levies, whether domestic or foreign, other than taxes based on the income of Coral Messaging. Client will make tax payments to Coral Messaging to the extent amounts are included on Coral Messaging’s invoices.

 

Fee Increase. Coral Messaging reserves the right to increase Fees for any Services, upon sixty (30) days’ prior written notice, effective on the start date of your subsequent Subscription Term.
