This agreement ("Agreement") is between MIJITELECOM
LLC. ("we," "us" or "MIJI") and the user ("you,"
"user" or "Customer") of MIJI's mijicall (North America Unlimited,
North America Unlimited Plus, China 1000, Japan 1000, Japan Mobile 400, Korea
1000, Pay-As-You-Go Package, Package 1000, Package 2000, Package 4000, Private
Beta) services and any related services ("Service"). This Agreement
governs both the Service and any devices, such as a MIJI Phone Adapter, MIJI Router
& Phone Adapter, MIJI WiFi Phone, MIJI Multiline IP Phone, or any other IP
connection device provided by for use in conjunction with the Service ("Device"
or "Equipment"). BY ENROLLING IN, ACTIVATING, USING OR PAYING FOR THE
SERVICES OR DEVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREE TO
ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT, THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE,
AND THAT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS HEREIN. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ AND UNDERSTOOD
THIS ENTIRE AGREEMENT, AND DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS, DO NOT USE THE
SERVICES OR DEVICE, AND CANCEL THE SERVICES IMMEDIATELY BY CONTACTING MIJITELECOM
VIA E-MAIL AT support@mijitelecom.com AND STATING YOUR NAME, ACCOUNT INFORMATION
AND DESIRE TO CANCEL SERVICE.
1. SERVICE 1.1 Term Service is
offered on a monthly basis for a term which begins on the date that MIJI activates
your Service and ends on the day before the same date in the following month.
Subsequent terms of this Agreement automatically renew on a monthly basis without
further action by you unless you give MIJI written e-mail notice of non-renewal
at least ten (10) days before the end of the monthly term in which the notice
is given. You are purchasing the Service for full monthly terms, meaning that
if you attempt to terminate Service prior to the end of a monthly term, you will
be responsible for the full month's charges to the end of the then-current term,
including without limitation unbilled charges, plus a disconnect fee if applicable
under the terms of this Agreement, all of which immediately become due, payable,
and chargeable to your credit card. Expiration of the term or termination of Service
does not excuse the Customer from paying all unpaid, accrued charges due in relation
to the Agreement. 1.2 Equipment Requirements The Service requires
valid and registered landline or cellular phone equipment which may be provided
by MIJI or by the Customer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Use of the
Service without such equipment is strictly prohibited. If you elect to provide
your own equipment, then you are solely responsible for maintaining it and ensuring
that it is compatible with the Service, and you agree that if it is not compatible
with, or properly configured for MIJI, MIJI may terminate the Service in its sole
discretion. 1.3.1 Residential Use of Service If you have subscribed
to MIJI's Residential services, the Service is provided to you as a single usage
(user) residential plan, for your own personal, residential, non-business and
non-professional use. This means that you agree not to use, and may not use, the
Service for any commercial activities, governmental activities, profit-making
activities, and/or non-profit activities, including but not limited to home office,
business, sales, tele-commuting, tele-marketing, auto-dialing, continuous or extensive
call forwarding, call relaying, fax broadcast, fax blasting and any other activity
that would be inconsistent with normal residential usage patterns. This also means
that you agree not to, and may not, sell, resell or transfer the Service to any
other person for any purpose, or make any charge for the use of the Service, without
the prior express written permission from MIJI. You agree that if MIJI determines
in its sole discretion that you have used the Service, and/or anyone else has
used the Service for any activities and purposes prohibited by this section it
may immediately charge you MIJI's higher rates for its Business service for all
periods, including past periods, in which you use, or used, the Service for such
prohibited activities together with a US$100.00 administrative fee for same, and
that MIJI may immediately charge such amounts on your credit card. MIJI reserves
the right to immediately terminate and subject you to the disconnect fee pursuant
to Section 7.6 or modify the Service, if MIJI determines, in its sole discretion,
that Customer's Service is being used for such prohibited activities or in any
other manner prohibited by this Agreement. In addition to and without prejudicing
or waiving any other remedies that it is entitled to, MIJI, after it has determined
in its sole discretion that you have violated this Section 1.3.1, may retroactively
charge you $.05 per minute for all US and Canadian calls made since the activation
of your account. Violations of this Section 1.3.1 regarding International calls
will likewise be retroactively billed at the then current published rates. You
agree that any payment made to MIJI pursuant to this section is made as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, because it would be difficult if not impossible
to ascertain damages. In the event that MIJI has to take legal action to enforce
the provisions of this section, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its
reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, regardless of whether in house
or outside counsel is employed. If in house counsel is employed, billing shall
be at the rate of $300.00 per hour and billed in six minute increments. 1.3.2
Business Use of Service If you have subscribed to MIJI's Business services,
the Service is provided to you as a business user. This means that you agree not
to, and may not, sell, resell or transfer the Service to any other person for
any purpose, or make any charge for the use of the Service, without the prior
express written permission from MIJI. You agree that the MIJI Business Plan does
not confer the right to use the Service for auto-dialing, call center activities,
continuous or extensive call forwarding, call relaying, telemarketing, fax broadcasting
or fax blasting, and that you may not use the Service for those purposes. MIJI
reserves the right to (1) immediately terminate or modify the Service, and (2)
charge an administrative fee of US$100.00 per day of service during which Customer
engaged in prohibited activities, if MIJI determines, in its sole discretion that
Customer's Service is/was being used for such prohibited activities or in any
other manner prohibited by this Agreement. 1.4 Prohibited Uses of Service You
agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You agree not to use the Service
for any unlawful purpose, including for example, using the Service in a way that
(1) interferes with our ability to provide Service to you or other customers,
or (2) avoids your obligation to pay for the Services. You also agree not to use
the Service for transmitting or receiving any communication or material of any
kind which would (1) constitute a criminal offense, give rise to a civil liability,
or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law
or (2) encourage conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to
a civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national
or international law. MIJI reserves the right to terminate the Service immediately
and without advance notice if MIJI, in its sole discretion, believes that you
have violated the above restrictions, leaving you responsible for the full month's
charges to the end of the current term, including without limitation unbilled
charges, plus a disconnect fee, all of which immediately become due, payable and
chargeable to your credit card. If MIJI, in its sole discretion believes that
you have violated the above restrictions, MIJI may forward the objectionable material,
as well as your communications with MIJI and your personally identifiable information
to the appropriate authorities for investigation and prosecution, and by using
the Service you thereby consent to such forwarding. 1.5 Use of Service and
Device by Customers Outside the United States MIJI allows use of the Service
inside or outside of the United States. However, if you use it outside the United
States you do so at your own risk. If you remove the Device to a country outside
the United States and/or use or attempt to use it there, you do so at your own
risk, including but not limited to the risk that such activity violates the laws
of the country where you do so, and/or violates the export laws of the United
States and/or the import laws of that other country. 1.6 Copyright / Trademark
/ Unauthorized Usage of Device, Firmware or Software The Service and Device
and any firmware or software used to provide the Service or provided to Customer
in conjunction with providing the Service, or embedded in the Device, and all
Services, information, documents and materials on MIJI's website(s) are protected
by trademark, copyright or other intellectual property laws and international
treaty provisions. All websites, corporate names, service marks, trademarks, trade
names, logos and domain names (collectively "marks") of MIJI are and
shall remain the exclusive property of MIJI and nothing in this Agreement shall
grant you the right or license to use such marks. You acknowledge that you are
not given any license to use the firmware or software used to provide the Service
or provided to Customer in conjunction with providing the Service, or embedded
in the Device, other than a nontransferable, revocable license to use such firmware
or software in object code form (without making any modification thereto) strictly
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that the Device
is exclusively for use in connection with the Service. You expressly agree that
the Device is exclusively for use in connection with the Service and that MIJI
will not provide any passwords, codes or other information or assistance that
would permit or enable you to use the Device for any other purposes. If you decide
to use the Service through an interface device not provided by MIJI, which MIJI
reserves the right to prohibit in particular cases or generally, you warrant and
represent that you possess all required rights, including software and/or firmware
licenses, to use that interface device with the Service and you will indemnify
and hold harmless MIJI against any and all liability arising out of your use of
such interface device with the Service. You agree not to reverse compile, disassemble
or reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to derive the source code from the binary
code of the firmware or software. 1.7 Tampering with the Device and Service You
agree not to change the electronic serial number, MAC or equipment identifier
of the Device, or to perform a factory reset of the Device, without express permission
from MIJI in each instance which MIJI may grant or deny in its sole discretion.
MIJI reserves the right to terminate your Service should you tamper with the Device,
leaving you responsible for the full month's charges to the end of the current
term, including without limitation unbilled charges, plus a disconnect fee, all
of which immediately become due and payable. You agree not to disrupt or hack
the Service or to make or attempt to make any use of the Service that is inconsistent
with its intended purpose. 1.8 Theft of Service or Device You agree
to notify MIJI immediately, in writing or by calling the MIJI customer support
line, if the Device is stolen or if you become aware at any time that your Service
is being stolen or fraudulently used. When you call or write, you must provide
your account number and a detailed description of the circumstances of the Device
theft or fraudulent use of Service. Failure to do so in a timely manner may result
in the termination of your Service and additional charges to you. You will be
liable for all use of the Service using a Device stolen from you and any and all
stolen Service or fraudulent use of the Service. 1.9 Number Transfer on
Service Termination MIJI may, solely at the Company's discretion, release
any telephone number that was ported in to MIJI by you and used in connection
with your Service to your new service provider, if such new service provider is
able to accept such number, upon your termination of the Service, and provided
(i) your account has been terminated; (ii) your MIJI account is completely current
including payment for all charges and disconnect fees; and (iii) you request the
transfer upon terminating your account. MIJI will not transfer or release telephone
numbers that it has assigned for use in conjunction with your Service. 1.10
Service Distinctions You acknowledge and understand that the Service is
not a telephone service. Important distinctions exist between telephone service
and the enhanced Service offering provided by MIJI. Some, but not all, of these
distinctions are described in this Agreement. The Service is subject to different
regulatory treatment than telephone service. This treatment may limit or otherwise
affect your rights of redress before Federal and State telecommunications regulatory
agencies or judicial forums. 1.11 No 900 Calls The Service does not
permit calls to 900 numbers or other pay-per-call services. 1.12 No Operator
Service The Service does not support calls to operator services. 1.13

per call charge. 1.15 Calls from a Payphone You agree that calls to
a MIJI Toll-Free Alternate Number from a Payphone will incur a US$0.30 per call
charge. 2. INDEMNIFICATION THE TERM "MIJI" AS USED IN THIS

IN THE PRICES, CHARGES, AND/OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN MADE, YOU AGREE
TO THE CHANGES. Notices will be considered given and effective on the date posted
on the MIJI website at www.mijicall.com/terms and/or the date we notify you of
changes by the following: email at the address provided by you, postcard, letter,
recorded announcement, message on your bill, an insert in your bill, newspaper
ad, or a call to your billed telephone number, whichever occurs first. 6.
CHARGES / PAYMENTS / DEFAULT / TAXES / TERMINATION 6.1 Billing You
must give us a valid credit card number when the Service is activated. If the
card expires, you close your account or your billing address changes, or the card
is cancelled and replaced owing to loss or theft, you must advise MIJI at once
by changing your credit card information in your account portal. We will bill
all charges monthly to your credit card, including but not limited to: activation
fees, monthly Service fees, surcharges, applicable taxes, disconnection fees,
international usage charges, advanced feature charges, equipment purchases and
shipping and handling charges. MIJI reserves the right to bill at more frequent
intervals if the amount due at any time exceeds US$25.00. You may not pay by credit
card, however, if you have five (5) or more MIJI accounts, in which case you must
pay by check or wire transfer into a MIJI Master Account. 6.1.1 "One
Time Use" or Disposable Credit Cards MIJI strictly prohibits the use
of "one time use" or disposable credit cards. If you use such a card
to activate the MIJI Service and such use results in MIJI not being able to collect
charges for the Service, you will be subject to a $500.00 fee as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, plus any reasonable in-house or outside counsel attorney's
fees incurred by MIJI to collect such unpaid charges and liquidated damages. 6.2
Billing Disputes You must notify MIJI in writing within seven (7) days after
receiving your credit card statement or from the time funds are debited from your
MIJI Master Account if you dispute any MIJI charges on that statement or that
have been debited from your MIJI Master Account, or such dispute will be deemed
waived. Notification of all billing disputes shall be sent to the following address: Customer
Care Billing Department MIJI TELECOM LLC. 2500 Plaza 5, Harborside Financial
Center Jersey City, NJ 07311 or support@mijitelecom.com 6.3 Payment MIJI
only accepts payments by credit card, unless you have five (5) or more accounts
as explained above. Your initial use of the Service authorizes MIJI to charge
all amounts due MIJI as stated in the Agreement on the credit card account number
on file with MIJI, or on any other credit card provided by Customer if the original
card expires or is replaced. This authorization will remain valid until 30 days
after MIJI receives your written notice terminating MIJI's authority to charge
your credit card. MIJI may terminate your Service at any time, in its sole discretion,
if any charge to your credit card on file with MIJI is declined or reversed, if
your credit card expires and you have not provided MIJI with a new valid and approved
credit card, or in case of any other non-payment of account charges. Termination
of Service for a declined or expired credit card, reversed charges or non-payment
leaves you fully liable to MIJI for all charges accrued before termination and
for costs incurred by MIJI to collect all monies owed by Customer, such as (but
not limited to) collection costs and in house or outside attorneys' fees as defined
is Section 1.3.1. MIJI may make billing adjustments for the Service retroactively
for a period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the date a Service
is rendered if they are made within two (2) months of MIJI's receipt of any invoice
for the payment of additional fees and charges imposed by law. If you have
five (5) or more MIJI accounts, you must maintain a MIJI Master Account to pay
the monthly Service fees. You must maintain a minimum balance of at least 150%
of the total of the monthly Service fees in your MIJI Master Account. You must
fund your MIJI Master Account by check or by wire transfer and not by credit card.
You may monitor your MIJI Master Account on your MIJI Master Account portal. In
the event that the available funds in your MIJI Master Account balance falls to
within 20% of the minimum balance, MIJI will take reasonable steps to email you
a notice to remind you to replenish your MIJI Master Account. However, you are
wholly responsible for ensuring that you have adequate available funds in your
MIJI Master Account at all times, and MIJI will not be responsible if any warning
emails are not sent out or are not received. MIJI may terminate your Service at
any time, in its sole discretion, if you have failed to replenish your MIJI Master
Account with funds adequate to i) maintain the minimum balance, and ii) pay any
outstanding amounts due, and iii) cover all charges for monthly Services. 6.4
Termination/Discontinuance of Service MIJI reserves the right to suspend
or discontinue providing the Service generally, or to terminate your Service,
at any time in its sole discretion. If MIJI discontinues providing the Service
generally, or terminates or suspends your Service in its discretion without a
stated reason, you will only be responsible for charges accrued through the date
of termination, including a pro-rated portion of the final month's charges. If
your Service is terminated or suspended for any stated reason, including without
limitation, violation of any terms of this Agreement, or because of any improper
use of the Service or Device (such as, but not limited to, your attempts to hack,
disrupt, or misuse the Service or your acts or omissions that violate any acceptable
use policy of MIJI or of a third party provider to which MIJI is subject), you
will be responsible for the full month's charges to the end of the current term,
including without limitation unbilled charges, plus a disconnect fee if applicable,
all of which immediately become due, payable and chargeable to your credit card. 6.5
Taxes Customer is responsible for, and shall pay any applicable federal,
state, municipal, local or other governmental sales, use, excise, Universal Service
Fees, value-added, personal property, public utility and other taxes, fees and
charges now in force or enacted in the future, that arise from or as a result
of Customer's subscription or use or payment for the Service or a Device. Such
amounts are in addition to payment for the Service or Devices and will be billed
to your credit card. If Customer is exempt from payment of such taxes, it will
provide MIJI with an original government-issued certificate attesting to tax-exempt
status. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date MIJI receives such
certificate. 7. CONTENT You are liable for any and all liability that
may arise out of the content transmitted by or to you or Users using the Services.
You shall assure that your or User's use of the Services and content will at all
times comply with all applicable laws, regulations and written and electronic
instructions for use. MIJI reserves the right to terminate or suspend affected
Services, and/or remove your or Users' content from the Services, if MIJI determines
that such use or content does not conform with the requirements set forth in this
Agreement or interferes with MIJI's ability to provide Services to you or others
or receives notice from anyone that Your or Users' use or Content may violate
any laws or regulations. MIJI's actions or inaction under this Section shall not
constitute review or approval of your or Users' use or Content. You will indemnify
and hold harmless MIJI against any and all liability arising from the content
transmitted by or to you or to Users using the Services. A "User" means
any person, whether authorized or unauthorized, using the Service and/or Device
provided to you. 8. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION IT
IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION PROVIDES
FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL
ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF BY A JUDGE, JURY, OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. YOU CONTINUE
TO HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS TO OBTAIN RELIEF FROM A FEDERAL OR STATE REGULATORY AGENCY.
THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA. 8.1 Mandatory Binding
Arbitration All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the
Service and/or the Device (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation,
or any other legal or equitable theory) must be resolved by final and binding
arbitration. This includes any dispute based on any Device, Service, advertising
or otherwise having a connection to this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted
by one arbitrator using the procedures described by this Section. If any portion
of this Resolution of Disputes by Binding Arbitration Section is determined to
be unenforceable, then the remainder shall be given full force and effect. The
arbitration of any dispute shall be conducted in accordance with the American
Arbitration Association's ("AAA") Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related
Disputes, as modified by this Agreement, which are in effect on the date a dispute
is submitted to the AAA. To the extent that such procedures differ from this Agreement,
this Agreement shall govern to the fullest extent permitted by law. You have the
right to be represented by counsel in an arbitration. In conducting the arbitration
and making any award, the arbitrator shall be bound by and strictly enforce the
terms of this Agreement and may not limit, expand, or otherwise modify its terms. NO
DISPUTE MAY BE JOINED WITH ANOTHER LAWSUIT, OR IN AN ARBITRATION WITH A DISPUTE
OF ANY OTHER PERSON, OR RESOLVED ON A CLASS WIDE BASIS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT
AWARD DAMAGES THAT ARE BARRED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT AWARD PUNITIVE DAMAGES
OR ATTORNEYS' FEES. YOU AND MIJI BOTH WAIVE ANY CLAIMS FOR AN AWARD OF DAMAGES
THAT ARE EXCLUDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. In the event that a dispute arises
out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its reasonable
expenses, including attorney's fees, regardless of whether in house or outside
counsel is employed. If in house counsel is employed, billing shall be at the
rate of $300.00 per hour and billed in six minute increments. 8.2 Arbitration
Information and Filing Procedure Before you take a dispute to arbitration
or to small claims court, you must first write to us at MIJI TELECOM LLC, 2500
Plaza 5, Harborside Financial Center, Jersey City, NJ 07311 and give us an opportunity
to resolve the dispute. Similarly, before MIJI takes a dispute to arbitration,
we must first attempt to resolve it by contacting you. If the dispute cannot be
satisfactorily resolved within sixty (60) days from the date you or MIJI is notified
by the other of a dispute, then either party may contact the AAA in writing at
AAA Service Center, 134555 Noel Road, Suite 1750, Dallas, TX 75240-6620 and request
arbitration of the dispute. Information about the arbitration process and the
AAA's Arbitration Rules and its fees are available on the Internet at www.adr.org,
or by contacting us at billing@MIJITelecom.com. The arbitration will be based
only on written submissions of the parties and the documents submitted to the
AAA relating to the dispute, unless either party requests that the arbitration
be conducted using the AAA's telephonic, online, or in-person procedures. Additional
charges may apply for these procedures. Any in-person arbitration will be conducted
at a location the AAA selects in Massachusetts in Middlesex or Norfolk Counties.
Arbitrations under this Agreement shall be confidential as permitted by federal
law. However, by filing for arbitration, you may elect to relieve both parties
to the arbitration of confidentiality obligations. 8.3 Time for Filing Claims You
agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause
of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the Agreement must
be filed with the AAA within one year after such claim or cause of action arose
or be forever barred. 9. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement and the relationship
between you and MIJI shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey
without regard to its conflict of law provisions. 10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT This
Agreement and any modifications to it pursuant to Section 6, and the rates for
Services found on MIJI's website, constitute the entire agreement between you
and MIJI and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements
between you and MIJI and any and all prior or contemporaneous statements, understandings,
writings, commitments, or representations concerning its subject matter. No changes
to this Agreement shall be binding upon either you or MIJI unless they are made
pursuant to Section 6. 11. SEVERABILITY If any part of this Agreement
is legally declared invalid or unenforceable, all other parts of this Agreement
are still valid and enforceable. Such invalidity or non-enforceability will not
invalidate or render unenforceable any other portion of this Agreement. 12.
PRIVACY MIJI Service utilizes, in whole or in part, the public Internet and
third party networks to transmit voice and other communications. You acknowledge
and understand that MIJI cannot guarantee that voice over IP communication is
completely secure. You agree that MIJI may access all features of your account
and the Services to determine whether the Services are being used fraudulently
and/or in violation of this Agreement, and for any other purposes. YOU AGREE THAT
MIJI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LACK OF PRIVACY. Please refer to our Privacy
Policy at www.mijicall.com for additional information. 13. ASSIGNMENT MIJI
