Each Paid Service Plan offers different pricing and feature options and has varying usage limits. Once you select your Paid Service Plan, Audience Access will never automatically upgrade or downgrade your account's Paid Service Plan. If you exceed your Paid Service Plan usage limits (either by exceeding your monthly pageviews or monthly texting credits for the SMS texting plans, or both), you may incur additional charges or your account may be restricted or suspended altogether (including but not limited to access to the digital program). You will always have the option to upgrade or downgrade your account to a different Paid Service Plan at any time. Changes to your Paid Service Plan, such as upgrading or downgrading, can result in prorated charges. You will be billed when you switch to a new Paid Service Plan and charged prorated amounts for the time spent on each plan. The prorated amount you will be charged for switching to a new Paid Service Plan will vary depending on the previous Paid Service Plan price and the new Paid Service Plan price, as well as when you make this change.
When you sign up for a Paid Service Plan, you agree to monthly recurring billing or annual recurring billing starting on the date you sign up. If you elect to pay monthly, billing occurs on the same day each month, based on the date that you first started paying for any recurring monthly plan. Payments are due for any month on the same or closest date to the day you made your first monthly payment (the “Pay Date”). If any part of a month is included in the Term, then payment is required for the full month. If you elect to pay annually, billing occurs on the same day each year, based on the date that you first started paying for any recurring annual plan. If you exceed your self-selected monthly usage limits for your Paid Service Plan, then you may have to pay additional charges (as described above) for the prior monthly usage cycle on or before the next Pay Date for monthly billing, and on or before the end of the subsequent month from the exceeded usage limits for annual billing, even if the Term ends or you downgrade to a Free Service Plan before that payment is otherwise due.

▪ Compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Onstage Publications abides by the federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by responding to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable laws. As part of our response, we may remove or disable access to material residing on a site that is controlled or operated by Onstage Publications and that is claimed to be infringing, in which case we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the person who submitted the affected material so that they may make a counter-notification, also in accordance with the DMCA. Onstage Publications does not control content hosted on third-party websites, and we cannot remove content from sites it does not own or control. If you are the copyright owner of content hosted on a third-party site, and you have not authorized the use of your content, please contact the administrator of that website directly to have the content removed. Before serving either a Notice of Infringing Material or a Counter-Notification, you may wish to contact a lawyer to better understand your rights and obligations under the DMCA and other applicable laws. The following notice requirements are intended to comply with Onstage Publications’ rights and obligations under the DMCA and, in particular, section 512(c). They do not constitute legal advice.
▪ Filing a Notice of Infringing Material Under the DMCA.
To file a notice of infringing material on a Site owned or controlled by Onstage Publications, please provide a notification containing the following details:
Reasonably sufficient details to enable us to identify the work claimed to be infringed or, if multiple works are claimed to be infringed, a representative list of such works (for example, the title, author, any registration or tracking number, and URL);
Reasonably sufficient detail to enable us to identify and locate the material that is claimed to be infringing (for example, a link to the page that contains the material);
Your contact information so that we can contact you (for example, your address, telephone number, or email address);
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material identified in (2) is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is alleged to be infringed.
Your physical or electronic signature.
We may request additional information before removing any allegedly infringing material. In the event we remove the allegedly infringing materials, we will immediately notify the person responsible for posting such materials that we removed or disabled access to the materials. We may also provide the responsible person with your email address so that the person may respond to your allegations.

12. Payments
Your use of our Services is contingent on your paying for such use (whether paid in advance or through the purchase of credits on the Onstage Publications Sites via stripe or through an invoice sent from Onstage Publications), in the amounts and using the methods indicated on the Onstage Publications Sites unless otherwise agreed upon and noted by both parties in a signed agreement. Your payment for the Services, Credits (as defined below in Section 14), keywords, DIDs, usage-sensitive fees, and/or plans (a portion of which also includes software maintenance and upgrades, as well as customer support) shall be deemed completed when Onstage Publications receives the full amount of payment owed for such Services, Credits, keywords, DIDs, usage-sensitive fees, and/or plans. You are responsible for paying for any message or broadcast you attempt to send to any number, regardless of whether the message is actually received by the intended recipient. As Onstage Publications is dependent on other entities for the delivery of your messages and broadcasts, our price per credit may require adjustment to account for costs that are not in our control. Accordingly, we may adjust our fees from time to time and without prior notice.
Onstage Publications will charge your indicated method of payment for the Services, Credits, keywords, DIDs, usage-sensitive fees, and/or plans immediately upon your confirming the payment method and amount. Amounts to be charged may include sales and other taxes, where applicable, and any other amounts indicated on our Sites. Onstage Publications will assess an additional charge based on the costs Onstage Publications incurs for porting each DID number assigned to you that you request to be ported within six months of the original assignment by Onstage Publications, and Onstage Publications may further restrict your ability to port telephone numbers assigned to you by Onstage Publications consistent with FCC regulations. Your account will be credited within 24 hours of Onstage Publications verifying receipt of your payment. If you have elected to make a payment by credit card and we do not receive payment from the credit card issuer, you agree to pay all amounts due immediately upon demand by Onstage Publications.
Onstage Publications cannot readily or accurately ascertain your location when you request to use the Services. You, therefore, agree that your use of the Services occurs in Ohio and is subject to any applicable Ohio taxes. To the extent that you are responsible for any additional taxes or fees beyond those collected by Onstage Publications, you agree that you will pay them to any applicable taxing authority when due, including any interest or penalties assessed.
Onstage Publications shall not be responsible for any errors or transmission failures with regard to the charging and collection of funds from your indicated payment method, nor for any actions taken by the provider of the payment method you choose (which could include refusal to authorize the charge). In addition to these Terms, any payments made by you may be subject to the agreement between you and the provider of the payment method.
As between you and Onstage Publications, you are responsible for all charges related to purchases made using your account and payment method, whether or not you authorized such purchases. Standard charges apply to any test call sent originating from your account or initiated using your API key.
In the event of accidental underbilling in favor of a Customer and a Customer’s subsequent nonpayment, Onstage Publications shall be entitled to immediately proceed with collection remedies and shall be entitled to recover any and all costs, fees, and expenses of such collection efforts, including but not limited to: collection agencies, court costs, filing and service of process fees, attorneys’ fees incurred from the counsel of Onstage Publications’ choosing, or any other costs, fees, and expenses incurred in the pursuit of collection on all customer accounts and receivables due and payable under these Terms.
13. Fee Disputes
You must notify us in writing if you dispute any portion of any fees paid or payable by you under this agreement.

21. Choice of Law
The enforceability and interpretation of Section 24 (Agreement to Arbitrate) will be determined in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9. USC §§ 1-16, as amended (the “Federal Arbitration Act”), including its procedural provisions. Apart from Section 24 (Agreement to Arbitrate), the Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive law of the State of Ohio (subject to any applicable preemption or supersedence by US federal substantive law) without regard to conflict of law principles that would cause laws of another jurisdiction to apply.
22. Agreement to Arbitrate
Most disputes can be resolved by contacting our Customer Support team. We strongly encourage you to reach out to them before you decide to bring a formal legal case.
▪ We Both Agree to Arbitrate.
If we are not able to successfully work together to resolve the dispute, you (and any of your affiliates) and Onstage Publications (and any of our affiliates) all agree to resolve any dispute arising under these Terms (including our privacy policies) or any dispute relating to our Services by binding arbitration in Dayton, Ohio.
This agreement to arbitrate applies to all claims under any legal theory, including any claim that requires the interpretation of this document, except for the exception below in subsection 24.2 (Exception to Agreement to Arbitrate). This agreement also continues to apply after you have stopped using our Services. If we have a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or whether it applies to the dispute, we all agree that the arbitrator will decide that as well. In addition, if any of us brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated or if any of us refuses to arbitrate a claim that should be arbitrated, the other of us can ask a court to force us to go to arbitration to resolve the claim (i.e., compel arbitration). Any of us can also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.
▪ Exception to Agreement to Arbitrate.
Anything in the foregoing paragraphs to the contrary notwithstanding, Onstage Publications may seek injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction over the parties to enjoin or prevent any action you take or threaten to take in violation of these Terms. Moreover, you consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.
▪ Arbitration Procedure.
The Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“Rules”) then in effect shall apply to the arbitration, except to the extent that they conflict with any express provisions in this Section 24 (Agreement to Arbitrate).
A single independent arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration. The parties shall endeavor to select the independent arbitrator by mutual agreement. The arbitrator shall be a member of a state bar engaged in the practice of law in the United States or a retired member of a state or the federal judiciary in the United States. If the dispute is one to be decided by arbitration and such agreement cannot be reached within thirty (30) days after the dispute first arose, the selection of the arbitrator shall be made in accordance with the Rules as then in effect.
Each party shall be entitled to inspect and obtain a copy of non-privileged relevant documents in the possession or control of the other party. All such discoveries shall be in accordance with procedures approved by the arbitrator. Unless otherwise provided in the award, each party shall bear its own costs of discovery.
The award of the arbitrator shall be based on the evidence admitted and shall contain an award for each issue and counterclaim. The award shall be made within thirty (30) days following the close of the final hearing and the filing of any post-hearing briefs authorized by the arbitrator. It shall set forth in writing the factual findings and legal reasoning for the award. The arbitrator may, in his/her discretion, award to any party specific performance or injunctive relief (but the foregoing is not intended to limit Onstage Publications’ access to the courts to the extent provided in subsection 24.2). The arbitrator may not change, modify, or alter any express condition, term, or provision of these Terms.
Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the arbitration award will be final and binding upon the parties, and no appeal of any kind may be taken. Judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The statute of limitations applicable under Texas law to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the commencement of arbitration hereunder.
▪ Recovery of Costs and Attorney’s Fees.
In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under these Terms, Onstage Publications and any of its affiliates will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees if we substantially prevail.
▪ Class Action Waiver.
Both you (and your affiliates) and Onstage Publications (and our affiliates) agree that any claims or controversies between us must be brought against each other only on an individual basis. Neither you (and your affiliates) nor Onstage Publications (and our affiliates) can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action. The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person or entity’s claims into a single case and cannot preside over any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding (unless we agree otherwise). Moreover, the arbitrator’s decision or award in one person or entity’s case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other Onstage Publications customers; it cannot be used to decide other disputes with other customers. If a court decides that this subsection 24.5 (Class Action Waiver) is unenforceable or invalid, then the entire Section 24 (Agreement to Arbitrate) will be null and void. But the rest of the Terms will still apply.
23. Entire Agreement
The Terms are only those stated herein, and they shall constitute the complete agreement between the parties. These Terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous proposals, statements, sales materials, presentations, and agreements, whether oral or written. No terms or conditions stated in or attached to your communications with Onstage Publications are applicable to these Terms in any way, and they are not to be considered exceptions to the provisions of these Terms.
24. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
25. No Waiver
The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by both parties to be legally binding.
26. Relationship of the Parties
You and Onstage Publications are each independent contractors in the performance of each and every part of these Terms. No agency, partnership, joint venture, franchise, or employer-employee relationship is created as a result of these Terms. You will be solely responsible for all of your employees, agents, and your labor costs and expenses arising in connection with them; Onstage Publications will be solely responsible for all of our employees, agents, and our labor costs and expenses arising in connection with them. Likewise, you will be solely responsible for any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or debts of any type that arise on account of your activities or those of your employee’s or agents in the performance of these Terms; Onstage Publications will be solely responsible for any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or debts of any type that may arise on account of our own activities or those of our employees or agents in the performance of these Terms.
