1.
Services Provided.
eCallNet
offers you, among other things, the
ability to make local toll, domestic
long distance and international telephone
calls using touch-tone telephones
by dialing various access numbers
made available on its Website www.eCallNet.com
(the “Website”), entering
a Personal Identification Number (“PIN”)
provided to you by eCallNet and dialing
the called party. These services are
provided on a pre-paid basis only
and do not require you to change your
current telephone service provider(s)
in order to use the services. A complete
list of eCallNet services can be found
on the Website. eCallNet is not responsible
for reimbursements for calls made
with another service while eCallNet
is temporarily unavailable.
2. Credit References
eCallNet may refuse to provide service
if your credit is not deemed satisfactory
which determination shall be made
at eCallNet’s sole discretion.
3. Access Numbers.
To access eCallNet’s telephone
services, you must dial either a toll
free (e.g., 800-xxx-xxxx) number or,
where available, a local access number
(provided on the Website). After dialing
an access number you must enter your
PIN, unless PINless is enabled and
compatible with your origination number,
and then the destination telephone
number, Before you use any local access
number, check with your local telephone
service provider to ensure that no
toll charges are associated with calls
to that local access number. eCallNet
will not reimburse the customer for
any extra charges assessed by your
local phone company as a result of
dialing one of eCallNet’s access
numbers.
4. Payment.
eCallNet’S SERVICES ARE PROVIDED
ON A PREPAID BASIS ONLY. As you use
eCallNet’s services, your Account
will be debited accordingly. No phone
services will be provided if your
Account does not have a sufficient
balance to cover the cost of the service.
5. Recharging Account.
In the event you want to use services
in an amount which exceeds the remaining
balance in your Account, you may access
the Website and recharge your Account
by purchasing additional service in
non-refundable, preset dollar values
(e.g., $20, $30, $50). eCallNet will
send you an electronic confirmation
of any such recharge.
6. Rates.
eCallNet’s rates are listed
on its Website and are incorporated
by reference herein. You are responsible
for checking all applicable rates/promotions
before making any call using eCallNet’s
services. Please note that the rates
for calls to certain numbers (e.g.,
mobile/special service numbers) can
be higher than rates for calls to
other numbers within the same country.
eCallNet reserves the right, at its
sole discretion, to modify those rates
at any time and/or to offer special
promotions. Rates are based on country
code and city code, not country name.
eCallNet.com's rate structure is clearly
outlined in the RATES section of the
eCallNet.com homepage. While eCallNet.com
endeavors to maintain rates that are
competitive in the market, eCallNet.com
does not guarantee that its rates
will change in any predictable fashion.
In addition, though it is not the
intent of eCallNet.com to raise its
rates at any point in the future,
should market conditions or factors
outside of eCallNet.com's control
cause its costs or wholesale rates
to some or all destinations to go
up, eCallNet.com reserves the right
to adjust its rates accordingly.
7. Toll Free Surcharges.
There is a 69-cent surcharge typically
assessed from the following locations:
(1) Payphones, (2) Hotels, (3) Dormitories,
(4) Hospitals, and (5) Other commercial
phone lines.
8. Rate Changes.
eCallNet reserves the right, at its
sole discretion, to modify its rates
and its surcharges. eCallNet is not
obligated to credit back any unused
balance in your Account so eCallNet
strongly suggests that the customer
use up the remaining balance before
terminating the Account.
9. Billing Information.
eCallNet does not send any invoices
to its customers. Instead, you have
confidential access to your billing
information - for the current month
and the prior three months only -
on the Website under “My Account”
24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. The
customer is responsible for printing
out their monthly statements, and
eCallNet will not provide monthly
billings beyond what is available
online.
10. Billing Disputes.
You must notify eCallNet by e-mail
of any disputed charges within thirty
(30) days of the charge being posted
to your Account. eCallNet will attempt
to resolve all disputes within thirty
(30) days of being notified of a dispute.
To the extent eCallNet determines,
at its sole discretion, that a billing
adjustment is warranted, your Account
will be credited accordingly. If you
fail to notify eCallNet of a billing
dispute as noted above, you will waive
all rights to bring any claim regarding
the dispute.
11. International
Calls.
Although the quality of international
telephone calls has improved greatly
in recent years, calls to certain
countries outside the United States
can be interrupted as a result of
service/network issues in those countries.
eCallNet will attempt to identify
any such issues, with the cooperation
of the customer. All necessary information
must be provided including date, time,
origination number and destination
number. However, eCallNet WILL NOT
REFUND ANY CHARGES FOR SUCH INTERRUPTED
CALLS.

may discontinue service at any time
upon notice (either electronic or
