In the case of a violation of national or international laws, WILDIX may, at its discretion, immediately suspend the services, without anything being owed to CUSTOMER; in particular, the CUSTOMER will have no right to a refund, not even partial, of the subscription fee. The right of WILDIX to take legal action for compensation for any damage suffered remains unaffected.

8.2 It is expressly forbidden to use WILDIX's services and systems to carry out, over telephone traffic, arbitration activities, or in general to develop telecommunications traffic by which one may obtain advantages, bonuses, credit, money or similar benefits for oneself or third parties merely by sending and/or receiving communications of any kind, even those which are received but not replied to. It is forbidden to use WILDIX systems in any way in order to obtain advantages for oneself or for others, including but not limited to by means of telephone calls or SMSes sent to numbers such as mobile or fixed network numbers with so-called "auto top-up" or "reward" offers, or to "premium" or "personal number" or "shared cost" numbers in any country, which return money or credit or benefits to the holder of the number or to whoever uses it. It is forbidden to use WILDIX services to automatically generate outbound call campaigns with or without the recipient’s response.

8.3 The CUSTOMER may not in any way transfer this contract to third parties, either free of charge or for consideration, without the prior written consent of WILDIX.

The CUSTOMER shall inform anyone who uses the WILDIX services that the CUSTOMER is allowed to review in detail the traffic carried through the service, including all the numbers which are sending calls and all numbers receiving calls.

8.5 The CUSTOMER shall use the numbering assigned to him in compliance with the regulations applicable in the country where the DIDs are assigned. WILDIX reserves the right at any time to carry out checks regarding compliance with the aforementioned rule, which may be manual or automatic, even should technical means be at its disposal. If WILDIX detects use of the numbers that does not comply with regulations, WILDIX may revoke the use of the number to the CUSTOMER and terminate the existing contract, without anything being due to him.

8.6 In the event of the development of traffic deemed anomalous by WILDIX, or in the event of the triggering of automatic or manual anti-fraud systems by WILDIX that lead to suspicion of even potential fraud, or of illicit activity or contractual violation, or in the event that technicians may put the infrastructure of WILDIX or other operators at risk, WILDIX may suspend, even selectively, the services provided to the CUSTOMER without anything being owed to the same. WILDIX will reactivate the services if verifications do not confirm the suspicions. The right of WILDIX to take legal action for compensation for any damage suffered remains unaffected.

8.7 If WILDIX detects usage of the service that does not comply with the regulatory provisions governing call center activities, it may suspend the service, even in the face of mere suspicion, and, once the abuse has been ascertained, may revoke the use of the number by the CUSTOMER and terminate the existing contract, without anything being owed to the latter.

9.10 The CUSTOMER relieves WILDIX from any responsibility for any attacks and/or intrusions by third parties from the network through the equipment with which the service is provided. The CUSTOMER declares that he is aware that third parties can access systems via the Internet and can overcome the security of the systems to use them improperly and cause damage to third parties. In the event that WILDIX detects an intrusion attempt through the accesses and data it lawfully disposes of for the provision of the service, it may interrupt the service, without any obligation, until the CUSTOMER takes steps to implement the measures necessary to prevent the situation from persisting. The CUSTOMER shall hold harmless from any direct and/or indirect damage as well as the payment of any charge, expense, indemnity or any prejudice that may be suffered by WILDIX or the employees or collaborators of the parties or other subjects who use the services or even those who are only connected or occasioned by the execution of this contract by their employees and/or collaborators, consultants, their representatives as well as their substitutes, even on an extra-contractual basis.

ART. 10 - PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

10.1 Given that the rule for the protection of personal data applies to the processing of data relating to natural persons, WILDIX indicates that personal data of employees and collaborators of the CUSTOMER are collected for the following purposes:

  • sending newsletters;
  • customer reference;
  • accounting purposes;
  • commercial information;

10.2 The CUSTOMER may modify and update his personal data by means of a written request to WILDIX.

ART. 11 - CONFIDENTIALITY OF TRANSITED INFORMATION AND MESSAGES 

11.1 Without prejudice to the provisions of the previous point, each party shall keep secret all information acquired in relation to the supply relationship. Each party takes every necessary precaution in order to safeguard the confidentiality and secrecy of such information and to prevent its disclosure to third parties, and will limit its communication only to employees and consultants who have an effective need to know it for the purposes referred to in this supply relationship in compliance with the need to know principle, undertaking not to disclose the information to third parties, not to make it public or accessible by any other means unless it is expressly permitted with written consent issued by the party making the disclosure or delivery of information; it being understood that each party will not be deemed in breach of the provisions of this article as a result of communications made in compliance with the provisions contained in any rule or regulation or order promulgated by public authorities having jurisdiction over it in relation to the execution of this Agreement and to the operations envisaged therein. Each party ensures that these commitments are also respected by its directors, statutory auditors, employees, promoters and consultants to whom such information has been communicated. The confidentiality obligations set forth herein will cease at the end of the first year from the date of termination of the effectiveness of this Agreement.

11.2 WILDIX shall not access and/or intercept the content of the messages and/or the telephone calls transmitted through its systems, and shall not communicate it to third parties, except in the cases provided for by law at the request of the Judicial and Police Authorities. Similarly, it complies with the law for the management of traffic data. The CUSTOMER may request the publication of his personal data from the telephone directories in accordance with the relevant legislation and regulations.

11.3 The CUSTOMER appoints WILDIX responsible for the processing of the identification data of the telephone communications received by the user. WILDIX will keep such data for the time requested by the CUSTOMER. WILDIX will protect such data with the organizational and logical measures required by law.

11.4 Communications Security. As part of the telecommunications service provided, adequate security measures are adopted to protect communications. Nevertheless, there may be situations that allow unauthorized third parties to learn the content of the same even unintentionally. In particular, unless encryption systems are adopted, the messages circulate on the networks in the clear and the networks prove to be easily attacked despite the adoption of up-to-date protection systems.

ART. 21 - HWaaS AGREEMENT 


WILDIX Unified Communications As A Service AGREEMENT

The use of SW and HW as a Service is a pillar of the future economy. End customers can enjoy a top-level experience in Unified Communications without owning assets while utilizing completely risk-free and always-updated business communications services.

Why are companies like yours are moving away from buying products to using products As A Service?

ROI and flexibility are factors, for sure, but everyone is missing the main point that is moving everything in this direction.

Theodore Levitt (1925-2006) was an American economist and a professor at Harvard Business School, and he is famous for this quote: 

People don't want to buy a quarter-inch drill, they want a quarter-inch hole.”

Levitt said this in the ‘60s, and it took 50 years for us to really understand it. There is one obvious fact about this quote and one not-so-obvious consequence:

  1. The customer is buying a hole 
  2. The vendor is not selling a hole — for 50 years they kept selling a drill

With the service economy, what you are buying (the hole) is what the vendor is selling (the hole, not the drill). 

For the first time, you have a real alignment between yourself and your provider. Your interest in the communications system is that it allows you to increase revenue and/or decrease costs. Every month you can evaluate its effectiveness, so it becomes in our primary interest that you renew the service every month.  

 Why should you use WILDIX UCC Hardware as a Service?

That’s easy: 

  • You can use it in an unlimited capacity at a fixed price
  • You will get the newest equipment with no additional costs
  • Wildix quality assurance covers broken products
  • Wildix quality assurance covers you with a fire & theft policy
  • You have no responsibilities other than to use the equipment in the right environment
  • You can enjoy this cutting-edge technology in the most convenient way possible 

Join the Hardware as a Service program and focus only on your business results; we will be at your side to ensure you reach them.
