Sales Desk Solutions LLC Terms & Agreement For Service
These Terms and Conditions constitute an agreement (“Agreement”) between you, your employees, agents, officers, directors and other service users (“you”, “your”, “user”, “subscriber” or “Customer”), and Sales Desk Solutions LLC. (“SDS” “Service Provider”, “us”, “we” or “our”) for virtual telecommunication services, answering services, buyer call center services, and any related products or services (“Services”). This Agreement governs both the Services provided and any assigned toll-free and/or local number account used in connection with the Services.
- ORDERING THE SERVICES:
The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) commences on the date that you sign up for the Services (an “Order”) and accept these Terms and Conditions on our website or any of the salesdesksolutions.com subdomains (our “Site”). By submitting an Order for the Services you are agreeing to be bound, without limitation or qualification, by the terms of this Agreement. After we receive your electronic authorization at sign-up we will send you an email confirming our acceptance of your Order, confirming the specific Services that you have signed up for (your “Service Plan”) and the date on which we will begin to provide you with Services. This Agreement will continue in full force and effect, until terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of Section 6 below.
By accepting our Terms and Conditions, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age or the applicable state age of majority and that you possess the legal right and ability to enter into this Agreement. If you are entering this Agreement on behalf of a partnership, corporation, LLC or other similar business entity, you represent and warrant that you possess the power, authority and capacity to enter into and perform this Agreement, and further that you have taken all proper and necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
SDS reserves the right at any time to contact you to re-confirm your Order and the provision of your account in order to avoid fraud. In the event that SDS suspects the placement of a fraudulent Order (even after you have received an email confirmation of acceptance of your order and the provision of your account), we may suspend or terminate your Service Plan. In the event that SDS has reason to suspect an Order has been fraudulently obtained or that your account is being used for fraudulent or illegal activities, SDS may, immediately and it its sole discretion interrupt, suspend, restrict or terminate your account without notice to you.
- FEES:
When you submit an Order for the Services you shall be required to select a Service Plan and to agree to the Base Fee for such Service Plan. You will be charged a minimum rate (the “Base Fee”) for each calendar month (a “Billing Cycle”) depending on the Service Plan you select. Your Base Fee will cover the Services set forth in your Service Plan as well as regulatory and government fees and taxes and surcharges associated with the Services provided under your Service Plan.
In addition to the Base Fee, SDS may also charge “Supplemental Services Fees” for any calls and forms or other Supplemental Services per your Service Plan. A list of Supplemental Services and current rates is accessible from our Site and will be provided when you Order your Services.
You are solely responsible for collecting, filing notice of, and paying any taxes to the proper entities, based on sales, use or other taxes required by your State, county or municipality.
- PAYMENT
As part of your registration for our Services you are required to either (i) apply for “Credit Terms” with SDS, or (ii) to provide SDS with a valid form of payment, such as your debit card, credit card or banking information so that SDS may collect echecks from your bank account (“Electronic Payments”). All payments to SDS must be made in US Dollars and be drawn from a US bank.
On or about the first business day of each Billing Cycle SDS will provide you with an invoice that reflects your Base Fee for the upcoming Billing Cycle and accrued charges for Supplemental Services including calls and forms responded to from the preceding Billing Cycle (your “Invoice”). Your Invoice is required to be paid within 28 days of the Invoice date. All questions regarding invoices and notice of any disputes must be submitted by email to [email protected] within twenty-eight (28) days after the Invoice date or you will waive any objections.
If the cost of your Supplemental Services in any billing cycle exceed the “Threshold Amount”, you authorize us to immediately invoice you, if pre-approved for “Credit Terms” or to collect an “Electronic Payment” to pay for these Supplemental Services (“Immediate Supplemental Service Payment”). The Threshold Amount is set by SDS and may vary based on your Service Plan, payment history, and usage. You authorize us to collect Immediate Supplemental Service Payments without additional notice or consent.
Time is of the essence for all payments required hereunder. Therefore, if we are unable to collect your Base Fee or Supplemental Service Fee when due as per the terms of this Agreement, you agree to pay us interest at the lesser of (a) 18% per annum or (b) the highest amount allowed by law for any amounts unpaid as of the payment due date. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “Paid in Full”) shall not waive any of our rights to collect the full amount due under this Agreement. If your account is suspended for non-payment, we will require you to pay all past due amounts, all open balances that may not have become “past due” prior to reactivation of your account, and any new charges that may include a prorated Base Fee for the balance of that Billing Cycle and the full Base Fee for the subsequent Billing Cycle.
If using Electronic Payments you agree to advise us or update of any changes to your debit card account, credit card account or echeck account number, billing address, or expiration date. Should an Electronic Payment be declined for any reason, we will attempt to charge it again then your account will be terminated and we will notify you of such termination by email or by telephone. Notwithstanding the previous section, if your Electronic Payment is declined for a charge within 90 days of the date you opened your account, your account will be canceled immediately and the phone number on your account may be unavailable until your account is reactivated. Accounts will be terminated if we are not able to confirm an order by phone and do not receive any replies from the account holder.

- WARRANTY DISCLOSURE
SDS takes pride in the services we provide our customers. However the inherent challenges in interpersonal verbal, oral and other communication, including but not limited to poor telephonic connections, language barriers, differences in speech dialects, hearing and speech impediments make it impossible to guarantee that all messages that we receive will be perfectly transmitted to you and otherwise limit the effectiveness of the Services. In light of these challenges we make absolutely no warranties regarding the services we provide.

SDS also makes no representations or warranties that your access to and use of the Site, Materials, Content, Services and accounts (i) will be uninterrupted or error free; (ii) is free of viruses, unauthorized code, or other harmful components; (iii) is secure; or (iv) will meet your satisfaction.

WE DO NOT AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO MAKE A WARRANTY OF ANY KIND ON OUR BEHALF AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON ANY SUCH STATEMENT. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties. In such jurisdictions, the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you insofar as they relate to implied warranties. If you rely on the representations or warranties of any third persons with respect to the Services (including without limitation by dealers or resellers of the Services) beyond those made by SDS, your sole remedy for such reliance is against the third person making such representation or warranty.
