ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY

Last Updated: March 8, 2023

1. Telxmedia Plans. Your Telxmedia Service is provided by Telxmedia, LLC, including its affiliates, assigns and agents (“Telxmedia,” “we,” “us” or “our”). Telxmedia reserves the right to periodically review usage levels, including voice and data usage, of Telxmedia Service plans (“Telxmedia Plans”) to ensure that you are not using a Telxmedia Plan in a manner that we consider, in our sole discretion, to be in violation of this Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), and if such an abuse or violation is discovered to terminate or adjust the plan as appropriate. In addition, data speeds may be slowed and/or deprioritized for subscribers who we determine (in our sole discretion) have violated Sections 3 or 4 of this Acceptable Use Policy. You agree to use the voice portion of your Telxmedia Plan for traditional voice calls between two individuals of a duration comparable to that of the average individual customer presently utilizing a Telxmedia Plan and will not employ methods, devices or procedures to take advantage of your Telxmedia Plan by using the plan excessively or for means not intended by Telxmedia. Excessive use of the voice portion of your Telxmedia Plan is defined by Telxmedia as use that materially exceeds the average call volume or duration used by all other Telxmedia customers that have purchased a Telxmedia Plan. You further agree to use the data portion of your Telxmedia Plan for traditional Web browsing, messaging, and similar activities on the Device (as defined in the Telxmedia Plans Terms & Conditions), and will not employ methods, devices or procedures to take advantage of your Telxmedia Plan by using the plan excessively or for means not intended by Telxmedia, in violation of any of the prohibitions above or below. Telxmedia may terminate your Service or change your Service plan if, in its sole discretion, Telxmedia determines that your use of your Telxmedia Plan violates any of these prohibitions or is otherwise “unreasonable” or results in abuse of the Telxmedia Plan.
2. International Long Distance Service. Telxmedia may limit the number of unique international phone numbers your phone will be allowed to call to 20 unique international phone numbers per 30-day Service term; based on the international destinations covered by your plan. In such event, the 20 unique international numbers count will automatically reset when your next 30-day Service term begins, unless you purchase a new Telxmedia Plan prior to the start of your next Service term. Please visit the Telxmedia website to learn more about the specific features and offerings regarding any international long distance services we may provide. All international long distance services included in our Service plans are handled by a third party not affiliated with Telxmedia, and are delineated on your invoices separately from the services provided by Telxmedia.
3. We consider your use of one of our Telxmedia Plans to be “unreasonable” or “abusive” and therefore subject to immediate termination or adjustment if, among other things, we determine in our sole discretion that you have done (or, based on other types of behavior, you may do) any of the following:
   1. re-sell, re-brand, re-supply, re-market or commercially exploit a Telxmedia Plan;
   2. set up routing functionality such that only outbound long-distance traffic is sent over the Telxmedia Plan;
   3. engage in any other conduct which is fraudulent or otherwise may result in significant network congestion or degradation, or interferes with our operations, reputation or ability to provide quality service to our customers, including without limitation any number of credit card “chargebacks” and/or excessive purchases (and/or attempted purchases) of products and/or services relating to your Telxmedia Plan in any given month;
   4. engage in autodialing;
   5. engage in continuous, repetitive or extensive call forwarding;

   11. “spam” or engage in other abusive or unsolicited communications, or any other mass, automated voice or data communications for commercial or marketing purposes;
   12. use your Telxmedia Plan in connection with server devices or host computer applications, including continuous Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, automated machine to machine connections, voice or SMS relay, or peer to peer (P2P) file sharing;
   13. use your Telxmedia Plan in connection with software or other devices that maintain continuously active Internet connections when a computer’s connection would otherwise be idle, or “keep alive functions (e.g., using a Telxmedia Plan for Web broadcasting, operating servers, telemetry devices and/or supervisory control and data acquisition devices);
   14. use your Telxmedia Plan to relay voice calls and text or picture messages not originated from your Telxmedia device; or
   15. engage in any other activity that would be inconsistent with reasonable personal use patterns, causes network congestion or jeopardizes the integrity of Telxmedia’s supplier’s network.
