Terms of Service

2.1 Core Services

ReliaRing provides the following business communications services:

The Services are delivered through the ReliaRing web portal and the browser-based phone that runs inside it. Mobile applications for iOS and Android are made available as and when we publish them; we do not offer a desktop application. Which of the features listed above are available to you depends on the plan and products on your Account.

2.2 Service Availability

Services are available primarily to customers in Canada and the United States. Some features may not be available in all geographic areas. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any Service or feature at any time with reasonable notice to affected customers.

2.3 Third-Party Services

The Services may integrate with third-party services and applications. Your use of such third-party services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. ReliaRing is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of third-party services.

3.1 Registration Requirements

To use the Services, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information
• Maintain and promptly update your account information
• Have the authority to bind yourself or your organization to these Terms
• Maintain the security of your account credentials

3.2 Account Security

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
• Enabling multi-factor authentication when available
• Immediately notifying us of any unauthorized access or security breach
• All activities that occur under your account

4.1 Pricing

• Subscription fees are billed monthly or annually in advance, as selected during signup
• Usage-based charges (calling minutes, SMS, etc.) are billed monthly in arrears
• All prices are in Canadian Dollars (CAD) or US Dollars (USD) as specified in your account
• Prices are exclusive of applicable taxes (GST, HST, PST, or other sales taxes)

4.2 Payment Terms

• Payment is due upon invoice unless otherwise agreed in writing
• We accept credit cards, debit cards, and pre-authorized debit (PAD) for Canadian bank accounts
• You authorize us to charge your payment method for all fees incurred
• Failed payments may result in service suspension after a 7-day grace period

4.3 Late Payments

Late payments may be subject to interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law in Alberta, whichever is lower, calculated from the date payment was due.

4.4 Price Changes

We may change our prices at any time. For existing customers, price changes will take effect at the beginning of the next billing cycle following 30 days' written notice. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.

4.5 Refund Policy

Subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as expressly stated in these Terms. Unused calling credits or prepaid balances are non-refundable. Where we issue a credit at our discretion, it is applied to your account balance rather than refunded in cash.

5.2 CRTC Compliance

You agree to comply with all applicable CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) regulations, including the National Do Not Call List (DNCL) rules, unsolicited telecommunications rules, and caller ID requirements.

5.3 Call Recording Consent

If you use call recording features, you are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws regarding recording consent. In Canada, one-party consent is generally required under the Criminal Code. Some jurisdictions require all-party consent. We recommend consulting with legal counsel regarding your specific recording obligations.

5.4 Enforcement

We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations of these Terms and may suspend or terminate your account without notice for serious violations. We may also report illegal activities to appropriate law enforcement authorities.

6.1 Support Hours

Support is staffed Monday to Friday, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Mountain time, excluding statutory holidays. Outside those hours an answering service is available at all times and escalates critical system issues — a service outage affecting your ability to make or receive calls — to on-call staff. Requests that are not critical are logged by the answering service and picked up the next business day.

6.2 Support Response Targets

Every ticket is assigned a response target when it is created, measured in elapsed time from the moment you submit it. Only critical issues are worked outside the support hours above.

These are targets for our first response, not resolution times. We do not commit to a resolution deadline, and no service credit arises from a missed target.

6.3 Exclusions

These response targets do not apply to disruption caused by:

• Scheduled maintenance (with at least 48 hours notice)
• Force majeure events
• Customer's equipment, network, or actions
• Third-party service failures outside our control
• Suspension due to non-payment or Terms violations
