GCT has found it necessary to adopt this policy because some companies in our industry have had claims made against them by people who allege that a company used an idea, even though the company had received only the most general of concepts. Since the employees of GCT are constantly working on a number of ideas in many areas, some of which might be similar to an idea Client may seek to send to GCT, we cannot accept any outside submissions or the risks associated with these submissions.

If Client sends GCT any Information despite our request that it not do so, Client agrees that any and all such Information it sends to GCT is in the public domain, is not confidential or secret and is sent by Client for use by GCT without payment or compensation to Client or acknowledgement of the source. For any such Information Client submits to GCT, Client grants GCT a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up and non-exclusive license(s) to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, transmit, distribute, and adapt such Information (or any part of such Information) for the sole benefit of GCT in any form, medium, or technology known now or later developed with the right for GCT to sublicense any or all such rights. GCT makes no warranty to Client, whether express or implied, regarding its use of any Information it may submit to GCT.

MISCELLANEOUS.
1. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of the TOU, the applicable Master Services Agreement, access to the Website, or use of the Services, and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.

2. Compliance with Applicable Laws.
Client agrees to abide by U.S. and other applicable export control laws and not to transfer, by electronic transmission or otherwise, any content or software subject to restrictions under such laws to a national destination prohibited under such laws, without first obtaining (at your own expense), and then complying with, any requisite government authorization. Client further agrees not to upload to the Website any data or software that cannot be exported without prior written government authorization, including, but not limited to, certain types of encryption software. This assurance and commitment shall survive termination of the TOU and of the applicable Master Services Agreement. Client agrees not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit for any commercial purposes any portion of the Website or Service. Any GCT Content, GCT Materials, GCT software, or Service may not be downloaded or otherwise provided or made available, either directly or indirectly, to any country subject to United States trade sanctions, to individuals or entities controlled by such countries, or to national or residents of such countries other than national who are lawfully admitted permanent resident of countries not subject to such sanctions; or to persons listed by the United States Treasury Department as “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” or by the United States Commerce Department in its “Table of Denial Orders.” By agreeing to the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement, you represent and warrant that you and the Client on whose behalf you are acting, if applicable, are not located in, under the control of, or a national or residence of, any such country; or a person on the “Specially Designated nationals and Blocked Persons” or “Table of Denial Orders” lists.
GCT’s enhanced telephony services are not intended to be Client’s primary access to telecommunications services. Therefore, Client acknowledges GCT’s service cannot be used to access United States 911 or E-911 services, or comparable international emergency services numbers. Client acknowledges it has communicated this limitation to its employees and agrees to indemnify and hold GCT harmless from any damages claimed or assessed against GCT for the inability to access 911 or E-911 services, or comparable international emergency services.

3. Headings. The section titles in the TOU and applicable Master Services Agreement are solely used for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance.

4. Limitation of Liability. Neither GCT nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or other representatives will be held liable for errors contained herein, or for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, incidental, or consequential damages such as, but not limited to, loss of data, loss of profits or revenues, loss of business, loss of reputation, or any economic loss arising out of, or in connection, the furnishing, access, use, or inability to access or use the Website or the Services, or reliance on any of the information provided or materials contained in the Website or provided through the Services even if advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event will GCT nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or other representatives be held liable for or in connection with any Client Content or Client Data posted, transmitted, exchanged, or received by or on behalf of you, any user, or other person on or through the Website or the Services.

The aggregate liability of GCT and any of its directors, officers, employees, or other representatives to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract or tort, including negligence) arising from the TOU and applicable Master Services Agreement or your use of the Website or the Services will not exceed, in the aggregate, the amount, if any, paid by you to GCT for your use of the Website or purchase and use of the Services. Certain jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages; therefore, the above limited or exclusion may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

5. Term and Termination. The TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement is effective upon your acceptance and will continue in full force until terminated. You may terminate the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement at any time by immediately discontinuing all access to the Services, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Master Services Agreement. Termination or cancellation of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement will not affect any right or relief to which we may be entitled at law or in equity. We reserve the right to terminate the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement at any time and for any reason without prior notice to you, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Master Services Agreement. Further, you agree that we will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination or suspension of your access to the Website or the Services or any part thereof. GCT may, at its sole option, terminate or restrict without notice your access to the Website or the Services without prejudice to GCT’s right to claim for indemnification of damages in case of termination for breach of the TOU or the applicable Master Services Agreement. If you are an employee of a Client, your right to access and use the Services will immediately terminate in the event the Master Services Agreement is terminated or expires.

6. Independent Contractor Relationship. You understand and expressly agree that you and GCT are independent contractors and not agents or employees of the other party. Neither you nor GCT has any right, power, or authority to act or create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party.

7. Consent to Do Business Electronically. We use and rely upon electronic records and electronic signatures for the execution and delivery of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement and any other agreements, undertakings, notices, disclosures or other documents, communications or information of any type sent or received in accordance with the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement and in performing our obligations and exercising our rights under the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement. Neither you nor GCT will prevent or inhibit in any way the other party from printing, saving, or otherwise storing electronic records sent or otherwise made available to the other party. You agree not to contest the authorization for, or validity or enforceability of, electronic records and electronic signatures, or the admissibility of copies thereof, under any applicable law relating to whether certain agreements, files, or electronic records are to be in writing or signed by you to be bound thereby. You will bear your own costs and expenses in conducting business electronically, and will undertake all steps necessary, including software, hardware, and other equipment upgrades and purchases, unless otherwise agreed to in writing or pursuant to the applicable Master Services Agreement, in order to be able to conduct business electronically.

8. Equitable Relief. You agree that breach of the provisions of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement would cause irreparable harm and significant injury to us which would be both difficult to ascertain and which would not be compensable by damages alone. As such, you agree that we have the right to enforce the provisions of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement by injunction (without necessity of posting bond), specific performance, or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies we may have for your breach of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement.

9. Entire Agreement. The TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement constitute the entire agreement between you and GCT with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, both oral and written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. We may revise and update the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement from time to time, and will post the updated the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement to the Portal, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Master Services Agreement. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE AMENDED VERSION OF THE TOU AND APPLICABLE MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT, ANY CHANGES TO SAME WILL APPLY IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING. Although we are not obligated to provide you with notice of any changes, any changes to the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement will not apply retroactively to events that occurred prior to such changes, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Master Services Agreement. Your continued use of the Services will constitute your agreement to any new provisions within the revised the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement.

10. Waiver; Severability. Our failure to enforce any provision of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of our right to enforce them. If any term or provision of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement will be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term or provision will be deemed not to be part of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement.

11. Assignment. You may not assign, transfer, or sell (voluntarily or by operation of law) your rights or obligations under the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement, nor delegate your duties hereunder to any other person, without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment without our consent will be void and will constitute a breach of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement. We may assign the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement or delegate or subcontract our obligations under the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement at any time.

12. Survival. The provisions of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement that by their content are intended to survive the expiration or termination of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement, including, without limitation, provisions governing ownership and use of intellectual property, representations, disclaimers, warranties, liability, indemnification, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, remedies, rights after termination, and interpretation of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement, will survive the expiration or termination of the TOU and the applicable Master Services Agreement for their full statutory period.

To the extent feasible, the parties desire to resolve any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of or access to the Website, Services, GCT Materials, the TOU, and/or the applicable Master Services Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of same, including the determination of the scope or applicability of same (a “Dispute”) through discussions and negotiations between GCT and the Client. The parties agree to attempt to resolve any Disputes by negotiation with the other party (by phone, electronic correspondence, or written correspondence). Any Dispute which cannot be resolved through discussion and negotiation between GCT and the Client giving rise to a legal action or claim will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Maine and the federal courts sitting in Portland, Maine.
