Shape expressly disclaims any liability for any outage, failed SMS delivery or other Message failure for any reason, including reasons directly or indirectly attributable to Operators.
For purposes of this Agreement and as a result of the operation of its Software, Shape collects some of the Data generated from the transactions including but not limited to the success or failure of the transaction. Customer acknowledges that Operators cannot guarantee the privacy of Messages, and accordingly Customer agrees that neither Shape nor the Operators will be liable to Customer or any other party for any lack of privacy or security experienced when using the Service. Customer also acknowledges that to the extent permitted by law, Operators have the right to intercept and disclose any transmissions over their facilities in order to protect their rights or property, including without limitation, to protect the efficient operation of their networks or to comply with governmental authorities. All other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Customer Agreements notwithstanding, any data privacy right, duty or obligation which is attributable to an Operator is solely the right, duty or obligation of that Operator and not of Shape. Shape has no control over Operator use of Customer data, and expressly disclaims any obligation to compel any Operator conduct, or to disclose any information to Customer the disclosure of which is the responsibility of the Operator.
If you are subject to the GDPR, as defined above and in our Privacy Policy, the Operator is the “data processor” of any information actually received by, or in the possession of, an Operator. Shape is not, as to such information.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) the services provided by any Operator by means of a wireless network or the Internet, are “as is”, “where is” and “when available”; (b) Shape is not responsible for the availability of any Operator, or the availability and/or performance of the wireless network or the Internet; and (c) Shape is not responsible for any damages or costs Customer suffers or incurs as a result of any instructions given, actions taken or omissions made by Customer.
If Shape believes that Customer is in violation of its SMS messaging policy, it may, without notice, in addition to all other remedies available to it, take such action as it deems appropriate, including but not limited to the following: requiring Customer to send SMS messages via a dedicated short code; blocking the delivery of Customer SMS messages and suspending use of the Service provided.
Customer understands and acknowledges that Shape does not and is not required to provide Emergency Service, where “Emergency Service” is defined as services that connect a user to emergency services personnel or a public safety answering point (“PSAP”), pursuant to applicable regulatory requirements. In the United States, Emergency Service is provided by dialing the digits “911” on a wired or a wireless telephone. Services provided by Shape do not permit the dialing of “911” or any other emergency telephone numbers.
Shape does not provide Emergency Service in conjunction with the Software Suite, the Service or any other services that may be used by Customer in connection with the Service. Shape, its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, affiliates nor agents will be liable for any claim, damage, or loss arising from, or relating to, Customer’s use of any other service provided hereunder to contact a PSAP or Emergency Services personnel. Customer specifically waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all such claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to Shape’s services or any other service provided hereunder to contact a PSAP or other Emergency Services personnel. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Shape, its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, affiliates and agents from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys fees) arising out of the fact that Shape does not offer Emergency Service.
Customer agrees to comply with all federal, state and/or local law (including, without limitation, 47 USC § 227) related to or connected with providing, selling, licensing and delivering information services and telecommunications services and products. Customer assumes all liability and responsibility for use of the Service in compliance with any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations pertaining to the use of telephones, email, fax, automated telephonic equipment, automatic telephone dialing systems, artificial or prerecorded voice messages, and other telephony and telecommunications products and services. Customer’s limitations on its use of the Service may include but are not limited to: commercial solicitations; advertisements; delivering artificial or prerecorded telephonic messages to homes, businesses, hospitals, cellular phones or paging systems without the prior consent of the called party; and restrictions on the time of day in which such calls are permissible. A violation of any such laws may result in substantial penalties and other sanctions. Any person intending to use the Service for solicitation purposes and/or for any other purpose regulated by federal, state or local laws should consult with his or her own legal counsel, prior to entering into this Agreement to determine the extent of permissible activities. To assist Customer in complying with certain laws, rules, and regulations relevant to direct marketing and to help Customer determine if a particular phone number is a wireless phone number, Shape may obtain and make available as part of the Services via a third party service provider standard third party wireless number lists (the “Wireless Lists”). In the event such Wireless Lists are made available by Shape, Customer may submit a phone number to Shape, in a manner and format to be determined by Shape, to check against the Wireless Lists to determine if the number submitted matches a number on such lists. Shape disclaims any obligation to conduct such checks absent a Customer request. Customer requests to check a phone number against a Wirelist List or any other list may be subject to further fees as stated on your Order Form. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Shape makes no representations, warranties or covenants relating to the availability of the Wireless Lists at any particular time during the Term of this Agreement. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that, while Shape may make available the Wireless Lists to assist Customer in complying with certain laws, rules, and regulations relevant to direct marketing, Customer’s use of the Wireless Lists could generate results that are not compliant with such laws due to inaccuracies or errors in the Wireless Lists as provided by their publishers. Shape DOES NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE WIRELESS LISTS OR THE USE OF SUCH WIRELESS LISTS TO ENSURE CUSTOMER’S COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, Shape DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THAT THE WIRELESS LISTS WILL BE ACCURATE OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE USE OF SUCH WIRELESS LISTS WILL ACCURATELY INDICATE WHETHER ANY PHONE NUMBER SUBMITTED BY CUSTOMER TO Shape IS OR IS NOT A WIRELESS NUMBER. Shape shall have no responsibility or liability to Customer, under this Agreement or otherwise, with respect to (x) any inaccuracies or errors in the Wireless Lists; and (y) Customer’s use of the results obtained from accessing the Wireless Lists. Customer agrees that Shape will not be responsible for Customer’s use of the Service, and Customer agrees to indemnify Shape for any claims, liabilities or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Shape based upon Customer’s use of the Service in any manner not in compliance with federal, state or local laws (including any private right of action thereunder). Customer is solely responsible for obtaining the consent of or a release from those persons or entities, to whom or to which Customer intends to send communications or Messages using the Service. Customer agrees to periodically review the list of recipients to be contacted, to contact only those persons who the Customer is legally permitted to contact from Customer Data, and only in the manner permitted, under federal, state and local law, and to delete those recipients that no longer wish to receive communications from Customer. If Customer is advised by any party that they do not wish to receive communications from Customer, then Customer agrees to promptly add those parties to its internal company-specific Do Not Call List, and thereafter refrain from calling such parties. If Shape determines, in its sole discretion, that the receipt of communications via the Service is not consensual, or violates any federal, state and/or local rule and regulation, or is harassing to consumers or businesses, Shape may suspend the CRM Dialer service for Customer until Shape is reasonably satisfied that the violation is cured. Such suspension does not terminate Customer’s obligations to pay any sums due under a Customer Order.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) CRM Dialer is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis; (b) Shape does not warrant that the CRM Dialer service will be uninterrupted or that all communications will be delivered; (c) Shape makes no warranties, expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties or merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose in relation to CRM Dialer; and (d) Customer understands that CRM Dialer may be inaccessible or inoperable for reasons outside of Shape’s control including but not limited to (i) Customer equipment malfunctions; or (ii) service interruptions caused by independent telecommunication providers.
CRM Dialer multi-line dialing customers agree to record and maintain a safe harbor message that complies with the Federal Trade Commission ”Telemarketing Sales Rule” by stating the name and telephone number of the seller on whose behalf a call is placed.
Customer understands and agrees that any custom software development requested by Customer (“Custom Development”) requires an existing or new annual agreement with a subscription plan covering ten (10) or more CRM Users. Charges for Custom Development will be based on an hourly rate determined by Shape, depending on the customization requested, and shall have a minimum requirement of ten (10) hours per Custom Development Request. Any changes to the scope may result in adjustments to costs.

Payment obligations not promptly disputed are deemed stipulated to by their respective obligors, who accept such payment obligations without refund, setoff, or other adjustment to payment obligations stated on the instrument creating or reciting such an obligation (such as a Customer Order). Customer must identify the specific issue that is being disputed and submit detailed data and information in support of the dispute. The written notice of dispute must be signed by an officer of Customer and include a statement warranting the dispute and accompanying detail is accurate to the best knowledge and belief of Customer and the officer submitting it. A billing dispute does not relieve Customer from paying its invoices in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Should Customer dispute a portion of its invoice, Customer shall pay all undisputed amounts in accordance with this Agreement.
