Terms of Service

FOR ICAUGHTYOU.COM PHONE SERVICE

This Customer Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) sets forth all the terms and conditions associated with your use of the services offered by or through iCaughtYou.com.

Online Acceptance:

Your online acceptance of this Agreement will have the same legal effect as if you were providing a handwritten signature of acceptance.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Services Provided

iCaughtYou.com offers you, among other things, the ability to learn who is calling you before answering a call, to record calls, to have voicemails transcribed, and to block all calls from selected callers simply by configuring your phone’s call forwarding service to redirect calls to our number and making changes to your account by logging in to your account at our Website (www.iCaughtYou.com) (the “Website”). iCaughtYou service requires a monthly or annual recurring subscription and does not require you to change your current telephone number or service provider. A complete list of iCaughtYou.com services can be found on the Website. NOTE: By using the voicemail transcription feature on our paid packages that include voicemail transcriptions where we will send you a text or email of your voicemails written out so you can read your voicemails instead of listening to them, you are authorizing iCaughtYou.com and its transcribers to access your voicemail box and listen to your personal voicemails. You can remove this consent at any time simply by logging in to your account and turning the transcription portion of the service off.

2. Acceptable Conduct

You agree to use the iCaughtYou.com services only for lawful purposes. You shall not transmit any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, profane, hateful, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable material of any kind, including but not limited to any material that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law. iCaughtYou.com reserves the right to immediately and without notice suspend or terminate your Account and PIN in the event it determines that you have violated any such law or regulation, or any term or condition of this Agreement. We reserve the right to terminate your Account or use of the iCaughtYou service in the event of a violation of this policy, and to remove and discard any of your content stored within the service.

3. Legality of Call Recording

You may not use the recording capability of iCaughtYou unless you have determined that your use is legal. Before recording any call, you should check the laws of your country and state and the laws of any country or state in which a person you are calling is located in order to determine if you need the other party’s permission to record a call. Even if your state only requires the permission of one party, you may make calls to or receive calls from people located in countries and states that require the permission of both parties to record a call. If you record such a call without the knowledge and permission of the other person, you may be subject to criminal prosecution in the other state.

4. Conditional Call Forwarding, Voicemail and Other Incidental Charges

iCaughtYou.com’s technology is based on your phone’s conditional call-forwarding feature. Conditional call-forwarding operates by forwarding ALL busy and unanswered calls to iCaughtYou.com’s number for handling. By becoming a iCaughtYou.com customer, you acknowledge that the use of iCaughtYou.com’s service requires conditional-call forwarding and that iCaughtYou will use its own servers and voicemail system to record and transcribe your voicemails. In addition, depending on who your provider is, iCaughtYou may also forward your voicemails to your mobile service provider’s voicemail system. Depending on which plan you have chosen to subscribe to, iCaughtYou may also send you text alerts, such as for missed calls or voicemail transcriptions. You are solely responsible for any charges by your phone provider for using the conditional call-forwarding feature and any normal toll and/or long distance and plan minute usage or standard message and/or data rates that may apply.

5. Opening an Account

In order to become a iCaughtYou.com customer, you must complete an application form on the Website, or on our iPhone, Android, or BlackBerry mobile apps, for a iCaughtYou.com account (“Account”) and will need to provide a valid credit card number. As part of the application, you will be provided with a PIN number to access your account. iCaughtYou.com will then send you an electronic notification confirming that you have become a iCaughtYou.com customer. The electronic notification may also provide you with your unique PIN, which you must use when accessing iCaughtYou.com.

6. Personal Identification Numbers

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR PIN AND YOU AGREE TO PAY FOR ALL SERVICES CHARGED TO YOUR ACCOUNT USING YOUR PIN WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE AUTHORIZED SUCH USE. If you believe that your Account, and/or PIN are being used in an unauthorized manner, you agree to contact iCaughtYou.com within one calendar day so that appropriate action can be taken to modify your Account. Please be aware that account information will be sent to the email address that you have provided to iCaughtYou.com. Therefore, you should use a secure email address. iCaughtYou.com is not responsible for the actions of any person that accesses that email account.
