4.
Suppression. AmeraScope Media honors the wishes of consumers
who request not to be solicited by mail or telephone. We routinely
apply the FTC’s Do Not Call (DNC) Telephone Files, as well as,
available state Do Not Call suppression lists before producing any
list for rental.
5.
FTC National Do Not Call. FTC regulations require Service
Providers (such as AmeraScope Media) to ensure that their "SELLER
CLIENTS" have registered and paid for access to the National Do Not
Call Registry prior to initiating their outbound telemarketing
efforts. The SELLER is the specific business whose products or
services are the subject of the planned solicitation. The SELLER´S
registration (and payment) must cover all Area Codes that are
covered by the requested list. In light of the foregoing, we are
providing this list or processing service with the understanding
that the SELLER either has registered (and paid) or will register
(and pay) at the first opportunity to the extent required by law.
1.
States´ Do Not Call. The following states have their own Do
Not Call laws and associated lists: Colorado, Florida, Georgia,
Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
Texas, and Wisconsin. Due to the varying publication dates of such
states´ files and the nature of compilation methods, WE CANNOT AND
DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE NAMES AND/OR TELEPHONE NUMBERS OF SUCH
SUBSCRIBERS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED OR DELETED FROM THE ORDERED LIST OR
ARE REFLECTED IN THE ORDERED SUPPRESSION PROCESSING. In addition,
the states of New York and Wisconsin require that any user of their
Do Not Call suppression files must purchase subscriptions directly
from the state. This applies to direct users, as well as, to users
who gain access to, or benefit of, the suppression data through a
third party. Compliance with the laws of individual states is
understood to be your responsibility.
13.
Client Data. AmeraScope Media shall use the same degree of
care to protect Client Data as used to protect Client’s Confidential
Information. Except as required to provide technical support
requested by Client, only the Client can enter, edit, delete, and
use Client Data during the term of this Agreement. Upon termination
of this Agreement, AmeraScope Media shall delete all Client Data.
14.
Security. AmeraScope Media uses commercially reasonable
practices, including encryption and firewalls, to ensure that Client
Data is disclosed only to Client’s authorized users. However, Client
acknowledges that the Internet is an open system and AmeraScope
Media cannot and does not warrant or guarantee that third parties
cannot or will not intercept or modify Client Data.
15.
Password. As part of the subscription and administration
process, the Client can select passwords for the Client account.
Client is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of
passwords, and agrees that AmeraScope Media has no obligations with
regard to the use of such passwords by third parties. The Client is
responsible for any and all activities in the system with the use of
Client password(s). The Client agrees to notify AmeraScope Media
immediately if Client has any reason to believe that the security of
the Client’s account has been compromised.
16.
Availability. AmeraScope Media uses commercially reasonable
efforts to maintain availability of the system twenty-four (24)
hours per day, seven (7) days per week. However, scheduled and
unscheduled interruptions may occur, and AmeraScope Media does not
warrant or guarantee uninterrupted availability of the system.
Normal software or hardware upgrades are scheduled for nights and
weekends, Central Time, and designed to cause a minimum amount of
interruption to system availability. Clients will be notified of
such interruptions in advance. In the event that an unscheduled
interruption occurs, AmeraScope Media will apply the appropriate use
of internal and external resources to resolve the problem and return
the system to availability as soon as possible. During these
scheduled and unscheduled interruptions, Clients may be unable to
transmit and receive data. Client agrees to cooperate with
AmeraScope Media during the scheduled and unscheduled interruptions.
AmeraScope Media reserves the right to modify, suspend, or
discontinue providing the system or any portion thereof at any time,
including the availability of any functional area of the system.
AmeraScope Media may also impose limits on certain features and
services or restrict Clients access to parts of the system without
notice or liability.
17.
Support. AmeraScope Media provides support to customers
through a variety of systems. AmeraScope Media strives to make the
system an easy to use software application system. AmeraScope Media
also strives to make its support tools error-free and readily
available. However, AmeraScope Media does not warrant that the
online materials will be without typographical or functional errors
or always be available.
18.
AmeraScope Media Fees. Acceptance of these terms include
acceptance of AmeraScope Media fees, and Client hereby acknowledges
receipt of AmeraScope Media current fee schedule. AmeraScope Media
reserves the right to change fees, or to institute new fees, at any
time. Clients shall be notified in advance of their effective date
of changes in fees or new fees via electronic mail. Such changes or
new fees shall become effective upon the later of the Client’s next
billing cycle or thirty (30) days from the date of notice. Client is
responsible for all charges, fees, and taxes related to its
subscription and use of the system.
19.
Third Party Fees and Costs. In addition to the charges set
forth above, Client is responsible for all expenses and charges
associated with accessing the World Wide Web and connecting to the
AmeraScope Media site, any service fees associated with such access
and connection, and for providing all equipment necessary for Client
to make the connection. USPS rates are subject to change and are not
considered apart of this Agreement. Media placement is not
considered apart of this Agreement.
20.
Billings. For Client’s account, AmeraScope Media will charge
the Client’s account at the beginning of each billing period for (a)
new InterActive service related fees, (b) InterActive fees for the
current billing period, (c) usage fees for the prior billing period,
(d) any applicable transaction charges or other fees for the prior
billing period, and (e) any applicable taxes on the above amounts.
For purpose of identification and billing, Client agrees to provide
AmeraScope Media with and maintain accurate Client information,
including, without limitation, Client legal name, address, telephone
number, e-mail address. Failure to maintain this information may, at
AmeraScope Media option; result in suspension or termination of
Client’s services provided by AmeraScope Media.
21.
Payment and Terms. Payment shall be made in US dollars to
AmeraScope Media into the account designated by AmeraScope Media or
as may otherwise be agreed in writing by the parties. Payments are
due upon presentation of invoice. If due to bank charges, transfer
fees, or the like, AmeraScope Media should receive less than its
invoice amount, AmeraScope Media will re-invoice Client for the
shortfall. Should payment in full of any invoice (aside from such
shortfalls) not be received by AmeraScope Media within fifteen (15)
days after presentation, AmeraScope Media will impose a debt service
charge amounting to three percent (3%) of the overdue balance.
Thereafter, a finance charge of three percent (3%) per month, or the
maximum percentage allowed under applicable laws, whichever is
greater, shall be applied to the overdue balance. In the event that
any amount remains unpaid forty-five (45) days after presentation of
invoice, AmeraScope Media may discontinue, withhold, or suspend
services to Client.
22.
Order Acceptance. All orders for service are subject to
acceptance by AmeraScope Media. A service order will be deemed
accepted by AmeraScope Media when written confirmation of the
service order is sent to Client. AmeraScope Media may refuse to
accept any service order or delay acceptance pending fulfillment of
conditions AmeraScope Media may choose to impose. Such refusal or
such conditions may not be unreasonable; however, and AmeraScope
Media agrees to provide Client with reasonable notice via electronic
mail or fax of any intent to delay or decline the acceptance of any
service order.
23.
DISCLAIMER OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED HEREIN, AmeraScope Media, HEREBY EXCLUDES ALL WARRANTIES,
WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY OPERATION OF LAW, COURSE OF DEALING,

NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE PARTIES BY LIABLE TO
THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGE, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING IN ANY
WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF

party may, at its option, (a) exercise any and all rights and
remedies available to it at law or in equity, (b) immediately
terminate this Agreement, and/or, (c) declare all amounts due, or to
become due, immediately due and payable, upon providing written
notice thereof to the defaulting party.

actually incurred, and necessary disbursements incurred in
connection with such action, as determined by the court.
27.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the policies
and instructions incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire
agreement between AmeraScope Media and Client with respect to the
subject matter hereof. There are no restrictions, promises,
warranties, covenants, or undertakings other than those expressly
set forth herein and therein. This Agreement supersedes all prior
negotiations, agreements, and undertakings between the parties with
respect to such matter.

court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law,
then the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect. Payment obligations, and the rights and
obligations of the parties under Sections 6, 10, 12, and 14 shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any
reason.
29.
Waiver. No delay or omission by either party to exercise any
right or power it has under this Agreement shall impair or be
construed as a waiver of such right or power. A waiver by either
party of any breach by the other party shall not be construed to be
a waiver of any succeeding breach or any other covenant by the other
party. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the party
waiving its rights.
30.
Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by one of the
parties by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written
