Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold Redcliffe harmless, if Customer is ever held guilty or liable for any violation of the law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer agrees that Redcliffe has and is taking active steps to ensure the compliance of its customers, including by having Customer agree to these terms and otherwise. If Redcliffe discovers evidence that Customer has or may have violated the law, Redcliffe may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate the Customer’s use of the Service immediately. Customer agrees that Redcliffe may disclose information which relates to Customer in order to comply with a judicial order, governmental order or otherwise as required by law.

4.22 No Legal, Financial or Tax Advice Provided. No financial, legal, or tax advice or counsel is given, or shall be deemed to have been given by Redcliffe or its affiliates and contractors.

Additionally, Customer is responsible for the verification that the Number(s) provided to Customer meet the necessary requirements of Customer (i.e., such Number will be considered a local number to Customer in Customer’s area or such number is sufficiently different from a customer competitor’s number, etc.). Redcliffe will reasonably accommodate Customer with a particular number selection, prefix or sequence, as available and able to accommodate. Redcliffe accepts no responsibility or liability in the number ultimately issued or selected for the Service.

5.2 Listing. Customer’s Number will likely NOT be listed in any local or regional telephone book unless Customer has taken independent steps to pay for telephone number or business advertisement. Numbers associated with the Service are not utilized with a traditional wire line/carrier. Redcliffe makes no warranty and accepts no responsibility or liability for Customer’s Number(s) NOT being listed in telephone books or other directories.

6.1 Technical Support. Redcliffe provides technical support to Customer via telephone, web chat, and e-mail for the Service only, and support for other applications and uses is not provided or implied.

In any event, Redcliffe will not be liable (under this Agreement or any uptime service agreement) for service interruptions where maintenance is prudent to perform.

  1. TERMINATION

7.1 Customer may terminate any Service for its convenience prior to the end of the applicable Service Term, provided that Customer gives The Redcliffe Group, LLC at least 90 days prior written notice to accounting@bridge.insure of such termination and pays The Redcliffe Group, LLC an early termination fee in an amount equal to the remaining contract balance. Contract balance will be calculated by multiplying the per user rate by the largest number of users in any given month times the remaining number of months in the signed agreement as referenced in Section 1.1; plus all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by The Redcliffe Group, LLC as a result of collecting such early termination fee. Such amount will be billed to Customer in one lump sum using the Customer's last authorized payment mechanism on file; the Customer confirms and reauthorizes the withdrawal or charging of such payment.  This authorization shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest. The parties agree that in the event Customer terminates the contract for its convenience, actual damages would be difficult to determine and that these liquidated damages are a reasonable and fair estimate of the damages which may be caused by such early termination and are not a penalty.

7.2 By Redcliffe. Redcliffe reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend, terminate or change the Service without advanced notice for any reason, including without limitation, misuse of the Service in any way, Customer’s breach of this Agreement, Customer’s failure to pay any sum due hereunder, suspected fraud or other activity by Customer that adversely affects the Service, Redcliffe, Redcliffe’s network or other Customers’ use of the Service. Redcliffe reserves the right to determine, at its sole discretion, what constitutes misuse of the Service, and Customer agrees that Redcliffe’s determination is final and binding on Customer. Redcliffe may charge an activation fee to reactivate a terminated service. Additionally, in the event of termination due to a Customer breach, Customer shall remain fully obligated for the payment of all taxes, fees, and charges for Service ordered for the remainder of the billing cycle.

7.3 Termination Charges. Upon Termination, in addition to any outstanding balance incurred or due on your account, Customer shall pay the full amount of all charges for the terminated Service(s) (regardless of whether the termination date is mid-billing cycle), in addition to any additional charges incurred under this Agreement including Section 7.1. You agree that Redcliffe may charge all unpaid balances to the Payment Method on file at the time of termination and the charges are reasonable and fair and are subject to Section 3.12.

8.2.2 Redcliffe shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to any third party action alleging that the use of any Service, or any part thereof, in combination with products not supplied by Redcliffe infringes any third party intellectual property right provided that the infringement is (a) due solely to the combination and use of such products together, if the use of the Service independent of any product not supplied by Redcliffe would not have given rise to the claim; or (b) Customer is advised by Redcliffe either directly or by means of Documentation, marketing or other published materials that the use of Redcliffe Service in tandem with such products represents a risk of infringement; and (c) Customer combines and uses such products with Redcliffe’s Service in contravention of Redcliffe’s disclaimer.
