ID Privacy, Inc. reserves the right to suspend Services immediately if Client's use threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Services, provided that ID Privacy, Inc. will, where feasible, provide prior notice and an opportunity to remedy the violation.
2.4 Third-Party Services
Client acknowledges that ID Privacy, Inc. may utilize Third-Party Services to facilitate certain aspects of the Services (e.g., messaging via Twilio, cloud hosting via AWS). Client is responsible for compliance with applicable third-party terms of service. ID Privacy, Inc. does not warrant or support Third-Party Services unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
2.5 Removal of Content or Third-Party Integrations
If ID Privacy, Inc. is required by a third party to remove Client Content or receives information that such content violates applicable law or third-party rights, ID Privacy, Inc. may notify Client, and Client shall promptly remove such content. If a Third-Party Service integrated with the Services violates applicable law or rights, ID Privacy, Inc. may disable or modify the integration.
2.6 Data Rights and PII Handling
- Client retains ownership of Client Content and grants ID Privacy, Inc. a worldwide, non-exclusive, limited-term license to host, process, and use Client Content solely to provide the Services.
- Client shall not provide PII or other sensitive data to ID Privacy, Inc. without a proper legal basis and consent from data subjects. Client is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable data protection laws regarding PII or sensitive data provided.
2.7 Data Use, Insights, and Service Acknowledgment
ID Privacy may collect, process, and analyze data generated through Client's use of the Services, including call recordings, transcripts, interaction metadata, and performance metrics, solely for the purposes of providing, maintaining, securing, and improving the Services for Client.
Client data remains logically isolated and secured and is not used to benefit or support competing or other customers. ID Privacy does not disclose Client-identifiable data to third parties or use Client data to train models made available to other customers.
ID Privacy may derive aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified insights from such data to improve system reliability, accuracy, safety, and functionality and to inform the development of enhancements and new features, provided that such insights do not reveal Client-specific, customer-identifiable, or proprietary information.
All Client data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws and ID Privacy's security and privacy practices.
2.8 Phone Number–Based Context Lookup & Service Call Flow
The Service AI Agent may use the inbound phone number as a contextual reference to retrieve existing dealership records associated with that number. This lookup is used solely to streamline service interactions and does not assume or verify caller identity.
When a matching record exists, the Agent may reference available contextual information to guide the interaction while confirming details conversationally with the caller. The Agent is designed to confirm the caller's name, service need, and applicable vehicle during the interaction and does not assume that the caller is the individual associated with the retrieved record.
Based on confirmed information, the Agent may: identify relevant vehicle records and confirm the applicable vehicle for the requested service; proceed with scheduling service appointments through the dealership's appointment scheduling system, subject to system availability and configured rules; confirm or update the email address for appointment confirmation based on caller input.
If no matching record is found, or if the caller disclaims association, the Agent will request the necessary information to proceed. Phone number–based lookup is used solely as an efficiency enhancement and not as a guaranteed identifier or authorization mechanism.
3. Fees and Payment
3.1 Fees
Client shall pay all fees detailed in the Service Order, SOW, or invoice, which may include recurring license fees, usage-based fees (e.g., per message), storage costs, or custom development charges.
3.1.1 Service Activation and Billing Definition
"Service Activation Date" means the date on which the Service AI Agent is technically enabled within the production environment to receive live inbound calls, following completion of initial configuration and validation testing.
Billing commences on the Service Activation Date, regardless of call volume, routing percentages, customer adoption, subjective satisfaction, or Client utilization decisions.
3.1.2 Termination and Billing Commitments
Fees incurred prior to termination remain payable. Service activation, once completed, is non-refundable. Early termination does not negate fees accrued during the active service period. Client may terminate service in accordance with the Agreement; however, termination does not suspend or reverse billing for any period in which the Service AI Agent was active and available to handle live calls.
Payment Terms: Any setup fees will be billed at the time of signed subscription agreement and order form. Within 48 hours of Go-Live email notification, the monthly subscription amount will be billed to the provided payment source. Subsequent payments will be collected on the 1st of each month, with invoices and/or receipts sent thereafter. Any custom development requests will be billed at an hourly rate of $250 per hour based on the scope of work associated with the project. Failed payments may result in service delays. Late balances accrue 1.5% per month. Credit card payments incur 3.5% processing surcharge.
Client must notify ID Privacy, Inc. in writing of any disputed invoice amounts within 30 days of receipt, cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute while paying all undisputed amounts.
3.3 Price Changes
ID Privacy, Inc. may change its fees upon providing Client with at least 30 days' written notice before the change takes effect.
3.4 Suspension for Non-Payment
ID Privacy, Inc. may suspend Services if payments are overdue by more than 30 days, provided Client receives at least 5 days' prior written notice. Suspension does not apply to disputed amounts being resolved in good faith.
3.5 Taxes
Fees exclude taxes, levies, or duties (collectively, "Taxes"), which Client is responsible for paying, except for taxes based on ID Privacy, Inc.'s income. If ID Privacy, Inc. is legally obligated to collect Taxes for which Client is responsible, such Taxes will be added to invoices unless Client provides a valid tax exemption certificate.
