If you have subscribed to Proximiti's Business services, the Service is provided to you as a business user.   This means that you agree not to, and may not, sell, resell or transfer the Service to any other person for any purpose, or make any charge for the use of the Service, without the prior express written permission from Proximiti.   You agree that the Proximiti Business Plan does not confer the right to use the Service for auto-dialing, call center activities, continuous or extensive call forwarding, call relaying, telemarketing, fax broadcasting or fax blasting, and that you may not use the Service for those purposes.   Additionally, Significant deviations from statistically average business usage as measured by Proximiti from time to time may result is disqualification from unlimited usage plans.   In this case, bundled and metered usage plans are available.   Proximiti reserves the right to (1) immediately terminate or modify the Service, and (2) charge an administrative fee of US$100.00 per day of service during which Customer engaged in prohibited activities, if Proximiti determines, in its sole discretion that Customer's Service is/was being used for such prohibited activities or in any other manner prohibited by this Agreement.  

2. Credit Approval - Each Service Proposal will be subject to credit approval by Proximiti.   Customer will comply with all of Proximiti's credit approval policies and procedures.   Proximiti will have the right to withhold implementation of the Service under this Agreement pending satisfactory credit approval, which approval may be conditioned upon specific terms required by Proximiti, including an advance payment, in an amount determined by Proximiti based upon commercially reasonable standards such as credit ratings and history, financial statement analysis, payment history, and number of years in business.   If Customer's account is subject to a credit limit, Proximiti may require payment of any amount in excess of such limit within 24 hours after Proximiti receives notice that the credit limit has been exceeded.   If at any time there is a material adverse change in Customer's creditworthiness or financial position as reasonably determined by Proximiti, then in addition to any other remedies available to Proximiti, Proximiti may elect, in its sole discretion, to request reasonable assurance of payment from Customer, including, among other things, an advanced payment for services.   A material adverse change in Customer's creditworthiness or financial position will include (i) Customer's default of any material obligation to Proximiti under this or any other agreement with Proximiti that remains uncured after the expiration of any applicable cure period; (ii) failure of Customer to make full payment of undisputed charges due hereunder on or before the due date on 3 or more occasions during any period of 12 months; (iii) acquisition of Customer by an entity which is (a) insolvent or is subject to bankruptcy, (b) owes past due amounts to Proximiti or any Proximiti affiliate that are undisputed or (c) is a materially greater credit risk than Customer; (iii) Customer's being subject to or having filed for bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and (iv) the legal insolvency of Customer.   If Customer does not provide Proximiti with assurance satisfactory to Proximiti within 3 days of Proximiti's delivery of notice of demand for such assurance, then, in addition to any other remedies available to Proximiti, Proximiti will have the option, in its sole discretion, to exercise one or more of the following remedies: (a) cause the start of any Service described in any previously executed Service proposal or Service Order to be delayed pending receipt of satisfactory assurance; or (b) decline to accept a Service Order or other requests from Customer to provide Service; or (c) suspend all or any portion of the Services then being provided after giving Customer 2 days prior written notice.   If Customer provides satisfactory assurance during the 2 day notice period, Proximiti will not suspend any of the Services.

In addition to charges for the Services, Customer will pay Proximiti for all excise, sales, use or other taxes, fees or charges applicable to the Services, all of which will be paid by Customer in addition to other amounts owing.   Such taxes, fees and charges will be separately stated in the applicable monthly invoice.   Proximiti may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, impose a late payment charge of 1.5% per month on any amount not paid within such 30-day period.  

Customer will provide a single payment to Proximiti each month covering all lines and locations.

Termination - Proximiti may terminate this Agreement, or any Service Proposal or Service Order, in whole or in part, or suspend any or all of the Services, without incurring any liability, at any time upon written notice of (a) any failure of Customer to pay any undisputed amounts due hereunder (which includes amounts disputed not in good faith); (b) any material breach by Customer of any provision of this Agreement; (c) any insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment of a trustee or receiver or similar event with respect to Customer; or (d) any governmental prohibition concerning the providing of, or any required alteration of, the Services or any violation of applicable law, rule or regulation resulting from the Services.   No such termination will relieve Customer of its obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to make payments for the Services provided prior to termination.

Changes in Fees - Proximiti pricing is dependent upon Proximiti being the sole and exclusive provider of the Services to Customer for the entire Initial Term or the period set forth in a Service Proposal or Service Order, as applicable.   Except in conjunction with month-to-month renewals of this Agreement under Section 4 or as otherwise permitted in this Section, Proximiti's fees and charges are as presented in the applicable Service Proposal or Service Order.   Charges for international service are as stated on Proximiti’s web site at the time of service delivery.
