You give us permission to make such verification and to obtain your credit information from consumer credit reporting agencies at any time.

Once you have been accepted as a VIVE customer, we will send you an electronic mail message ("e-mail") that confirms that you have become a VIVE customer and provides you with information concerning your VIVE account (your "Account").

However due to security reasons, you may still be required to enter your PIN even when dialling from your registered phone number.

Before you use any local access number, you should check with your local telephone service provider to ensure that no toll charges are associated with calls to that local access number. We will not reimburse you for any charges assessed by your local phone company as a result of your dialling one of our access numbers. Similarly, if you use a mobile phone to dial one of our access numbers, we are not responsible for any additional charges your mobile service provider may levy on your account for using the Services on your mobile phone.

5. Customer Service. If you have questions, concerns or complaints about your Service, you may contact our Customer Service Department 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by e-mail at or by phone.

II. Charges and Payment


1. Rates and Charges.
 Our rates and charges are listed on our Website and in the applicable Service Guides and are incorporated by reference herein. The rates and charges for any particular call may depend on a number of factors, including whether you are calling from a payphone, mobile, fixed or IP line. You are responsible for checking all applicable rates and charges, including payphone or other facility surcharges, before making any call using the Services.

2. Rating of Calls. Charges for telephone calls are measured in 6 second increments. Timing on calls begins when the call is answered by the called party. Timing terminates on calls when the calling party hangs up or VIVE`s network receives an "on -hook" signal from the terminating carrier. We may change the billing period or billing increment from time to time by posting any such change on our Website at least ten (10) days before they become effective, except that any change that is required by law or a governmental authority shall be effective immediately.

3. Monthly User Fee. In addition to the rates and charges, you may be assessed a monthly user fee, depending on the kind of Service plan you have enrolled in. This fee will be charged regardless of whether you use your Account to make any telephone calls in a given month.

4. Rate Changes.  We may change the rates and charges for the Services and offer special promotions from time to time. We may decrease rates or charges at any time without providing advance notice. We will post any increase in our rates or charges on our Website at least ten (10) days before they become effective.


5. Payment. You agree to pay us for the Services at the rates and charges listed in our Service Guides. You agree that we may charge all outstanding amounts in your Account to any credit, debit or charge card* number you listed in your application for the Services or provided to us subsequently irrespective of when such charges were incurred or, if the charge to your credit, debit or charge card is not accepted, bill you directly for such amounts. Alternatively, we may bill you directly for such outstanding amounts and, if you fail to pay such amounts in full within the specified period, charge such outstanding amounts or, in the case of any partial payment, the remaining balance, to your credit, debit or charge card. It is your responsibility to notify us of any changes to your credit, debit or charge card information, including the expiration date. Please note that we reserve the right to retain any credit, debit or charge card information you provide to us and to charge outstanding amounts to any such card so long as your Account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter. If the charge to your credit, debit or charge card is not accepted (e.g. the card is no longer valid or you have instructed the credit/debit/charge card company to block, reject or refuse to pay such charge) for any reason other than your disputing in good faith the validity of Service charges, we may charge you an additional fee as well as a late fee of 1.5% per month, which we will apply to that period's unpaid balance and any outstanding amounts that remain unpaid at the time of the next bill.

* At present, we are accepting Master card, Visa credit and AMEX cards only.

6. Billing Information and Monthly Statements. All VIVE customers will have confidential access to their billing or usage information on the Website under "My Account" 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. For example, if you review your billing information in April, you will be able to see your charges to date for April as well as the preceding March, February, and January. We may charge you a processing fee if you request a copy of a statement that is no longer available online.

Failure by us to include a charge in the monthly statement immediately following the date such charge was incurred does not constitute a waiver by us of our right to bill and collect such charge from you. You agree that we include charges for calls that were made in prior billing periods on any monthly statement. You also agree that we may send such monthly statement in electronic form only. We reserve the right to change the format of the monthly statement, the billing period and/or the availability of past statements online from time to time.

8. Billing Disputes. You are responsible for reviewing your monthly statements or billing information, as the case may be. If you are enrolled in a prepaid calling plan, you must notify us by e-mail or telephone us to disputed any charges within thirty (30) days of the charge being posted to your Account. To the extent we determine that a billing adjustment is warranted, we will credit your Account as provided in the applicable Service Guide. If you fail to notify us of a billing dispute as noted above, you will waive all rights to bring any claim regarding the particular charge.
VIVE will not be liable for the liabilities whatsoever resulting due to registration of hotel/hostel/public phone numbers or otherwise any claims by you or third parties.

III. Suspension and Cancellation of Services

If we have reason to believe that you or someone else is abusing the Services or using them fraudulently or unlawfully, we can immediately suspend, restrict, or cancel your Account and your ability to use the Services without advance notice. If you do not make payments for current or prior bills, including payments for late fees or any other required additional charges, by the required due date or we are unable to charge to your credit/debit/charge card (e.g. the card is no longer valid or you have instructed the credit/debit/charge card company to block, reject or refuse to pay such charge) such amounts as payable by you, we may suspend, restrict, or cancel your Account and your ability to use the Services upon two (2) days notice to you via e-mail.
