By signing up or using the API or Services, you represent that you have read and agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which also include and incorporate the Terms of Service (TOS) and Privacy Policy. These terms and conditions will remain in effect throughout your use of the Services and continue after this Agreement expires, cancels or is terminated.

The terms and conditions set forth herein may be amended in our sole and absolute discretion from time to time, and such amended terms and conditions shall be effective immediately upon posting to the Website. Your continued use of the Service after such posting will constitute acceptance by you of such amendments. It is your responsibility to review these Terms of Service frequently and remain informed about any changes to them, so we encourage you to visit this page often.

You acknowledge that we may change, deprecate or republish APIs for any Service or feature of a Service from time to time, and that it is your responsibility to ensure that calls or requests you make to or via our Service are compatible with then-current APIs for the Service. Scendix will attempt to inform you of any changes with reasonable notice so you can adjust your Application, but we are under no obligation to do so.

1.3 You and any Applications that you may build, distribute, or otherwise create may make network calls or requests to the Services, or may send/receive faxes via the Service, at any time that the Services are available provided that those requests do not violate the terms of Section 10 or other terms of this Agreement.

You are solely responsible for your Applications, including any data, text, images or content contained therein.

1.6 You are personally responsible for all traffic originating from your Applications using your account credentials to the Services. As such, you should protect your authentication keys and security credentials. Actions taken using your credentials shall be deemed to be actions taken by you, with all consequences including service termination, civil and criminal penalties.

1.7 We may make available to you, for your installation, copying and/or use in connection with the Services, from time to time, a variety of software, data and other content and printed and electronic documentation (the “PamFax Properties”). Subject to your acceptance of this Agreement, ongoing compliance with its terms and conditions with respect to the subject Service, and payment if and as required for your right to use the subject Service, we hereby grant to you, without the right to sublicense, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license during the Term of this Agreement (as defined in Section 2.1), under our intellectual property or proprietary rights in the PamFax Properties, only to install, copy and use the PamFax Properties solely in connection with and as necessary for your use of such Services and solely to the extent in compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

• Specifications describing the operational and functional capabilities, use limitations, technical and engineering requirements, and testing and performance criteria relevant to the proper use of a Service and its related APIs and technology;

(b) Scendix may make available under another license agreement, such as an open source agreement, additional content or software. Any such content or software will be clearly marked with such a license indicating the usage rights available for that content or software. For such content or software released pursuant to an open license, Scendix encourages you to modify, alter, tamper with, repair and/or create derivative works consistent with such license. Such content or software may include:

• Developer tools, such as software development kits or sample code, for use in connection with the APIs;

In return you hereby grant Scendix a non-transferable, non-sublicenseable, non-exclusive license during the Term of this Agreement to display your trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names and the like for the purpose of promoting or advertising that you use the Service.

In addition to our rights to terminate or suspend Services to you as described in Section 2 above, you acknowledge that: (i) your access to and use of the Services may be suspended for the duration of any unanticipated or unscheduled downtime or unavailability of any portion or all of the Services for any reason, including as a result of power outages, system failures or other interruptions; and (ii) we shall also be entitled, without any liability to you, to suspend access to any portion or all of the Services at any time, on a Service-wide basis: (a) for scheduled downtime to permit us to conduct maintenance or make modifications to any Service; (b) in the event of a denial of service attack or other attack on the Service or other event that we determine, in our sole discretion, may create a risk to the applicable Service, to you or to any of our other customers if the Service were not suspended; or (c) in the event that we determine that any Service is prohibited by law or we otherwise determine that it is necessary or prudent to do so for legal or regulatory reasons (collectively, “Service Suspensions”). Without limitation to Section 6, we shall have no liability whatsoever for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits) or any other consequences that you may incur as a result of any Service Suspension. To the extent we are able, we will endeavor to provide you notice of any Service Suspension in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 9 below and to post updates regarding resumption of Services following any such suspension, but shall have no liability for the manner in which we may do so or if we fail to do so.

All amounts payable by you under this Agreement will be made without setoff or counterclaim and without deduction or withholding. If any deduction or withholding is required by applicable law, you shall notify us and shall pay such additional amounts to us as necessary to ensure that the net amount that we receive, after such deduction and withholding, equals the amount we would have received if no such deduction or withholding had been required. Additionally, you shall provide us with documentation that the withholding and deducted amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority.

4.4 Should you have any dispute as to fees associated with your account, please contact us at support@pamfax.biz within 30 days of the date of the activity that generated such dispute, and we will attempt to resolve the matter.
