This Master Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Telxi LTD located at Offices 102-103, 17 Tepeleniou Str, 8010, Paphos, Cyprus (“Telxi”, “we”, “our”, and “us”) and the customer identified on the signature page hereto (“Customer”, “you”, and “your”). Telxi and you may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”. The Parties hereby agree as follows:
IMPORTANT: Telxi provides its Services exclusively for businesses purposes, sole traders and other legal entities (collectively “Customers”). For the avoidance of doubt a natural person who operates as a sole trader qualifies as a Customer solely in their capacity as a business operator and not in their capacity as a consumer. Telxi does not provide Services for residential or consumer usage. All Customers are responsible for ensuring that their own end users’ use of the Services complies with this AUP and all applicable laws and regulations.
Telxi will provide you with Services (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Parties hereby agree that this Agreement shall consist of the following: (a) the Agreement; (b) any exhibit, schedule, or attachment hereto (each, an “Attachment”); (c) each applicable service order (“Service Order”) which details the specific service(s) to be offered (each Service Order constitutes a separate agreement for the purchase and sale of Service to be provided to you by Telxi, the provision and use of which will be subject to this Agreement); and (d) the Terms and Conditions of Service (the “T&C”) which may be found at Telxi.com. The T&Cs are specifically incorporated into this Agreement by reference as if copied verbatim herein. The T&Cs may be modified periodically at Telxi’s sole discretion; no such modification shall nullify the effectiveness of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict, the following order of precedence shall apply: (1) the Service Order(s); (2) the Attachment(s); (3) the Agreement; and (4) the T&Cs.
1. Term
This Master Services Agreement (“Agreement”) shall have an initial term of one (1) month (“Initial Term”) starting from the Effective Date. Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for consecutive additional periods of one (1) month each (“Renewal Term”) unless terminated by either Party. The termination notice shall be provided in writing and shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the current term in effect. The Initial Term and any Renewal Terms shall be collectively referred to as the “Term”.
Notwithstanding the above, Telxi, at its sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement by giving Customer a written notice of such election. In such event, the Effective Date of termination shall be thirty (30) days from the date of such notice. It is expressly understood that Telxi’s right to terminate this Agreement shall be in addition to any other remedies available to Telxi, whether at law or in equity and shall not prejudice or limit Telxi’s right to take any other action available to it.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
1.1 General Description
Telxi provides Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) services, which include local, nationwide, and international calling. Additionally, Telxi offers hosted billing services as a secondary service. The Services consist of a combination of software solutions, products, networks, services, and hosting facilities. Telxi may periodically add, modify, or delete features or advanced features to its Voice Services at its sole discretion.
1.2 VoIP Services
Telxi’s Voice Service is a premium voice communication service that uses Internet Protocol (“IP”) technology to carry voice communication over high-speed internet access, also known as broadband internet service. The Voice Service is distinct from standard Local, Local Toll, and Long-Distance services. Telxi’s Voice Service does not support 0+ calling, collect, third-party billing, or calling card calling. Furthermore, Telxi’s Voice Service may not support 900, e911, 911, 411, 311, 511, and/or other x11 services in one or more (or all) service areas. Telxi’s Voice Service does not connect calls to phone numbers in Area Code/Prefix combinations used by third-party Reverse Billing Services. Telxi may remotely access the Customer’s VoIP devices and network to enable compatibility with the Voice Services provided herein.
1.3 Regulatory Treatment
Telxi’s Voice Service is subject to different regulatory treatment than telephone service, and this treatment may limit or otherwise affect the Customer’s rights of redress before Federal, State, or Provincial telecommunications regulatory agencies. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Telxi is not a telephone service provider.
1.4 Service Constraints
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Services are contingent on ongoing availability. The Customer further acknowledges and agrees that Telxi reserves the right, at its sole reasonable discretion, to not offer a Service in or to any specific jurisdiction, location, or country, or to restrict Services to or from any particular jurisdiction, location, or country.
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Service: (i) is not designed to serve as a primary phone service replacing conventional landline or mobile phone service; (ii) may not be compatible with all types of communication devices; (iii) may be subject to distinct regulatory approaches compared to other similar services, which could impact Customers’ rights and responsibilities when dealing with regulatory agencies and other government entities.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Services are provided to business Customers only. Telxi does not provide Services directly to individual consumers or end users. Customers are solely responsible for any use of the Services by their end users and for ensuring such use complies with this Agreement and all applicable laws.
2. Billing and Fees
2.1 Payment Authorization

If any charges remain in dispute at the end of the 30-day period, you must pay the full amount due within 10 days, or we may exercise any available remedies for breach (without regard to any further notice requirement or opportunity for cure under this Agreement, which shall be deemed waived).
2.4 Non-Payment
If you fail to deliver full payment for all billed charges by the due date, we may restrict, suspend, or terminate your use of the services. We may also apply any deposits or other payments made by you. If we restrict, suspend, or terminate your services, we may, at our sole discretion, choose to restore your services prior to the payment of all charges due. Such restoration shall not be construed as a waiver of our right to receive full payment for all charges due or again restrict, suspend or terminate the Services at any time for non-payment of unpaid charges.
2.5 Credit Card & ACH Payment Terms
If you are paying by credit card, you authorize Telxi to charge the credit card indicated in the authorization form according to the terms outlined in this agreement.

Usage charges will be billed in increments that may be rounded up to the nearest minute, except as otherwise specified in the rate schedules.
2.8 Reselling Services
The Customer has the option to resell or rebrand the Services to its own end users (each action defined as a “Resale”). Any further resale by an end user is strictly forbidden.
In association with any Resale, the Customer shall:
- serve as the primary contact for its end users;

Telxi shall not be liable to the Customer’s end users for its performance under this Agreement. Telxi has no direct contractual relationship with the Customer’s end users.
The Customer acknowledges that, upon an end user’s request, Telxi may directly provide services to such end user, on terms similar to those offered to the Customer under this Agreement.
If Telxi ceases to provide a Service to the Customer for any reason, the Customer will be solely responsible for delivering the necessary notifications to its affected end users.
The Customer is solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining, at its own expense, all required licences, approvals, and regulatory authority for the use and operation of the Services. The Customer agrees to provide any such documentation to Telxi upon reasonable request.
3. Taxes
Customers are responsible for paying all applicable federal, state, local, or other governmental sales, use, excise, public utility, or other taxes, regulatory fees, and charges. Telxi may pass through to Customers taxes and fees owed by Telxi to the extent permissible by law. Any tax exemptions must be verified and approved by Telxi’s third-party tax consultant.

4. Fraud & Prohibited Conduct
Telxi provides SIP trunking, DID, and international voice services to business Customers. The services are accessible via the Internet using Telxi-provided credentials, and Customers are responsible for securing their credentials. Telxi is not responsible for fraudulent or unauthorized use of the services. Customers are responsible for all charges and costs associated with their accounts, and Telxi may take necessary actions to prevent fraudulent usage. The services cannot be used for any abusive, threatening, fraudulent, or illegal purposes, including but not limited to robocalling, auto-dialing, transmitting pornographic or obscene material, and violating the FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule. Customers must provide necessary security equipment and apparatuses to prevent fraudulent or unauthorized use of the services.
4.1 Prohibited Conduct
Customers and their end users are strictly prohibited from using Telxi services for any improper, criminal, or abusive purposes, including but not limited to attempts at phishing, gaining access to financial information improperly, and making calls to numbers on a government Do Not Call List. Customers and their end users are also prohibited from using the services for fraudulent purposes or to avoid paying for the services. The services cannot be used in a manner that interferes with, disrupts, or presents a risk to the services, network, software, property, or security of Telxi, its Customers, its third-party vendors, or other third parties. The services also cannot be used for illegal robocalling or autodialing, transmitting pornographic or obscene material, or violating this Agreement or Telxi’s policies.
4.2 Fraud
Customers are solely responsible for all charges incurred in connection with their accounts, whether authorised, unauthorised, fraudulent, or otherwise. Telxi has no duty to investigate the authenticity of usage charged to a Customer’s account, take action to prevent fraudulent usage, or be liable for any fraudulent usage billed to a Customer’s account. If a Customer becomes aware of stolen or fraudulently used services, it must immediately notify Telxi in writing or by calling Telxi customer care. Until stolen or fraudulent use of services is reported, Customers are responsible for all usage charges attributable to their accounts, even if incurred as the result of fraudulent or unauthorized use by third parties. Customers are solely responsible for securing all passwords and access numbers to prevent unauthorized access to the services by third parties. Telxi may take necessary actions, including blocking access to particular calling numbers or geographic areas, without notice to the Customer, to prevent fraudulent usage. Customers acknowledge and agree to save, defend, indemnify, and hold Telxi harmless from all claims, costs, liabilities, and damages arising out of such fraudulent or unauthorized use.
5. Cancellation of Services
Either Telxi or the Customer may cancel the Voice Service. Telxi may discontinue the service, block access to the Telxi network, and cancel the account without any responsibility and without notice to prevent or protect against fraud or to protect Telxi’s personnel, agents, facilities, or services. Telxi may take such action if:
(a) the Customer breaches any terms of this Agreement, including the Acceptable Use Policy; (b) the Customer’s usage of the service is against the law or disruptive, adversely impacting or causing a malfunction to the Service, Telxi’s servers or other equipment, or the use and enjoyment of other Customers; (c) the Customer acts in an abusive or menacing manner when dealing with Telxi’s technical support staff, customer service staff, or any other Telxi employees or representatives; (d) Telxi receives an order from a court of competent jurisdiction to terminate a Customer’s Service; or (e) Telxi for any reason ceases to offer the Service, then Telxi may terminate or suspend such Customer’s Service immediately without notice. For a termination in accordance with this paragraph, the Customer remains liable for all unpaid fees and other charges accrued or otherwise payable under the terms of this Agreement.
A Customer may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing Telxi with a written termination request that includes the account number, main username, date of cancellation, submitted via email to: support@telxi.com.
The thirty-day written notice period begins on the date Telxi receives the Customer’s valid written termination request. Even after termination, Services will remain in effect until the effective date of termination, and the terms of this Agreement and applicable Service Orders will continue to apply to such services. The Customer must discontinue using all Telxi services, including telephone numbers, log-ins, voicemail access numbers, or any web portal sites provided for Telxi Customers, upon termination or cancellation of Services. Cancelling the service will also result in the cancellation of any ancillary services provided by Telxi.
Telxi may refuse to accept a Customer’s application for renewal or re-subscription following the termination or suspension of such Customer’s use of the Service at Telxi’s sole discretion. Upon termination of a Customer’s use of the Service, Telxi has the right to immediately delete all data, files and other information stored in or for the Customer’s account without further notice to the Customer subject to Telxi’s obligations under Section 8.4.
6. Emergency Services and Accessibility
6.1 Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and 911 Services
VoIP services allow you to make or receive telephone calls over the Internet to or from the public switched telephone network similar to traditional telephone service, yet there are important distinctions that the Customer needs to be aware of. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that differences exist between traditional telephone service and IP-based voice services and that emergency calls may be handled differently than emergency calls placed with traditional telephone service. Customer expressly consents to the limitations of the E911/911 services, including without limitation, those described herein, and should consider alternate means for accessing traditional emergency services.
6.2 Customer Responsibilities
Customer acknowledges that the E911/911 services may not be available in the event of a power failure, fraudulent use, failure of Customer’s equipment, service outage, or network or Internet congestion or outage, and Customer accepts the responsibility of confirming that its end users have the means to make emergency calls in such circumstances. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that the E911/911 services rely on the networks, products, services and operations of third parties, including telecommunications carriers and Public Safety Answering Points (“PSAP”), and Telxi is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any such third parties. Customer also agrees to notify its end users of the nature and limitations of the E911/911 services as described herein. Telxi will not be liable for any loss or damage (financial or otherwise) where Customer fails to do so.
6.3 Provision of E911/911 Services
The provision of E911/911 shall be conditioned on Customer providing Telxi with accurate location data, call back number, valid address or any other information required and requested by Telxi in order to provide the E911/911 services. Customer shall provide this information in a timely manner and in a format required or requested by Telxi. Customer shall update this information whenever necessary to reflect changes. The Parties understand and acknowledge that should Customer fail to provide any such information, Telxi may not be able to provide the E911/911 services, in whole or in part. Customer agrees to release, indemnify and defend Telxi and all of its affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, shareholders, agents, vendors, and representatives from any and all claims that may arise from Customer’s failure to satisfy this section.
6.4 Limitation of Liability
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Telxi, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, underlying local provider(s) or other public or private agencies and any third-party providers will not be liable for any injury, death or damage to persons or property, or any other claim arising directly or indirectly out of, or relating in any way to the E911/911 services, except to the extent such claims arose from Telxi’s gross negligence, recklessness or wilful misconduct.
6.5 IP Desk Phones and Soft Phones
For E911/911 services provided in the United States of America, the Customer affirmatively acknowledges (and agrees to maintain similar affirmative acknowledgements from its end users) that Telxi does not provide traditional E911/911 services and that the services are subject to the following limitations:
- a) Emergency Service Personnel May Lack Automatic Access to Caller’s Number or Location. Unlike conventional 911 services, when a Customer’s end user contacts 911 using IP Desk Phones or Soft Phones, emergency responders may not have immediate access to the caller’s phone number or physical address.
- b) Incorrect Service Address Registration May Lead to Misdirected Emergency Calls. If a Customer or end user provides a wrong physical address, emergency calls may be directed to an inappropriate emergency service provider.
- c) Mismatched Telephone Numbers and Geographic Locations Can Result in Emergency Call Issues. Emergency service personnel cannot accurately determine a location through Telxi’s system, so it is crucial to keep the location registration up-to-date.
- d) Moving Equipment Without Updating the Registered Location May Lead to Emergency Call Issues. It is essential to accurately register the location of IP Desk Phones or Soft Phones every time they are relocated.
- e) Failure to Re-register New Location or Calling 911 Within 48 Hours of Updating the Location May Cause Problems. Location updates may take up to 48 hours to be reflected in Telxi’s records.
6.6 High-Speed Internet Connection Required
Customer understands, acknowledges, and agrees that a high-quality, high-speed internet connection is required to use the services. Telxi is not providing an internet connection to Customers. Telxi does not control and is not responsible for: the Customer’s internet connection; the quality of the Customer’s internet connection; any third-party products and/or services related to the Customer’s internet connection; or problems with the services that are caused by or related to the Customer’s internet connection.
CRITICAL E911 NOTIFICATION
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) in relation to 911 services is subject to certain limitations and differences when compared to traditional telephone services. By using VoIP services, the Customer expressly consents to these limitations and acknowledges the responsibility to confirm that its end users have the means to make emergency calls under various circumstances. The provision of E911/911 services depends on the Customer providing accurate location data, call back number, valid address, or any other information required and requested by Telxi.
911 Connection Issues may arise from: (a) malfunction of system access equipment; (b) incorrect configuration settings; (c) power outages or disruptions; (d) telecommunication carrier disruptions; (e) termination or suspension of services; (f) internet-related issues including network congestion, loss, or deterioration of Internet services. Due to the limitations of contacting 911 via VoIP, it is best practice to use a traditional phone service to call 911, where possible.
7. Fair Use Policy
The Fair Use Policy (FUP) applies to Metered Services and Unlimited Services offered by Telxi, including, but not limited to, unlimited calls or unlimited minutes or Metered Services with specific channel allowance. Telxi may enforce the FUP when, in its reasonable opinion, the Customer’s usage of Telxi’s Unlimited Services is excessive or unreasonable, as outlined below.
7.1
Fair Use excludes activities such as auto-dialing, constant call forwarding, telemarketing, and call centres as they create port-congestion and might impact every other customer of Telxi and thus they are forbidden.
7.2 Limitation of Liability
Telxi shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or any loss of revenue, profits, or data, arising in connection with the enforcement of the Fair Use Policy, whether in an action in contract or tort, even if Telxi has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
7.3
If the Customer’s usage of Unlimited Services significantly exceeds estimated usage patterns over any month or is inconsistent with typical usage patterns, the Customer’s usage will be deemed excessive or unreasonable.
7.4
If the Customer’s usage is excessive or unreasonable, Telxi will notify the Customer of a breach of the FUP. The Customer will be asked to cease or modify their usage to comply with Telxi’s Fair Use Policy or be offered an alternative per-minute plan, where the FUP does not apply.
7.5
If the Customer’s excessive or unreasonable usage persists after receiving a request to cease or modify such usage, Telxi may, without further notice, apply per-minute charges to the Customer’s account for the excessive and/or unreasonable portion of usage; suspend, modify, or restrict the Customer’s use of the Services; or revoke the Customer’s access to the Services.
