If the Customer wishes to terminate the contract as a result of the price increase, the Customer shall not be liable to pay any early termination fees.

As an exception to the above, the Customer does not have the right to terminate the Service if RINGOVER GROUP is not the cause of the increase in SMS prices or telecommunications minutes.

This will be the case, for example, when the latter results from:

  • a change in the applicable telecommunications regulations,
  • judicial and/or administrative decisions,
  • an increase in the prices of RINGOVER GROUP’s partner telephone operators.

In this case, RINGOVER GROUP will notify the Customer as soon as possible.

4. Payment and billing

4.1. Payment methods

Payment for the Service is made by bank card or direct debit only. At the time of Subscription, the Customer provides their bank details and authorises RINGOVER GROUP to automatically debit their bank account for the sums due for the Service, in accordance with these GTCS&S. The monthly instalments will be debited automatically on the anniversary date of the Subscription. If the Customer opts for payments by SEPA direct debit, they shall provide RINGOVER GROUP with a SEPA direct debit authorisation mandate. Each invoice sent to the Customer, regardless of the method of transmission (usually electronic), will specify that payment will be made by SEPA direct debit in accordance with the direct debit due date indicated on the invoice. It is expressly agreed between the Parties, in derogation of the EPC rules applicable to SEPA direct debit payments, that the Customer will be notified in advance by email at least three (3) days before the effective date of the direct debit by the RINGOVER GROUP’s direct debit service provider.

The Customer shall be notified of any changes to the UK Direct Debit arrangements at least three (3) working days prior to the said debit.

4.2. Value-added service numbers

In the event that the Customer is assigned value-added service numbers that give rise to outpayments to the Customer, the Customer must accept the terms of Lemon Way’s payment service framework contract as it appears (and as it may be modified) on Lemon Way’s website: https://www.lemonway.com/conditions-generales-dutilisation. The resulting contractual relationship is exclusively concluded between the Customer and Lemon Way and RINGOVER GROUP is not a party to this contractual relationship.

However, some special numbers cannot be routed.

In accordance with article L.224-43 of the French Consumer Code, the Customer undertakes the responsibility to provide RINGOVER GROUP with the name of the product or service accessible on the assigned value added service number, the description of the product or service, the name of the supplier, its website, if any, the supplier’s address and the address or telephone number to which the consumer may address any complaints. Any change to this information must be notified to RINGOVER GROUP as soon as possible.

RINGOVER GROUP reserves the right to suspend access to the value-added services number and to terminate the Contract in the event of a recurrence, in the following cases:

  • If one or more items of information, for example on the https://www.infosva.org, are missing, inaccurate, obsolete or incomplete;
  • If no actual product or service is associated with this number;
  • If the product or service associated with this number is one of those excluded under the AF2M VAS deontological recommendations.

4.3. Invoicing and payment terms

Invoices are payable upfront and issued monthly on the anniversary of the Subscription. If additional Users are added, the Customer may choose Access with duration commitment, in which case the corresponding subscriptions will be invoiced on a pro rata basis until the next anniversary date of subscription with the initial duration commitment, or ‘monthly’ access with no duration commitment, that may be terminated under the conditions set out in article 9.1.1 hereof. However, it is understood that the deletion of a User from an access with a duration commitment does not entail any modification in invoicing. RINGOVER GROUP reserves the right to make payment by Bank Card or direct debit (excluding SEPA direct debit or UK Direct Debit, the schemes for which are specified in article 4.1 above) within 30 days of the date of issue of the invoice. The Customer can access their invoice on their customer page on the Ringover.co.uk website.

4.4. Late penalties

Late penalties shall be due by operation of law. The interest rate applicable for the calculation of the penalties will be the semi-annual key rates of the European Central Bank in force on 1 January or 1 July, plus 10 points. A fixed indemnity of €40 will also be due for collection costs for any delay in payment in accordance with articles L. 441-10 and D. 441-5 of the French Commercial Code, it being specified that RINGOVER GROUP reserves the right to claim additional compensation in the event of recourse to a professional responsible for reminders, formal notices and, in general, for the collection of its debts. If a direct debit/SEPA/UK Direct Debit is rejected due to the Customer’s fault, an additional sum of €10 excluding tax or £10 excluding tax, depending on the direct debit method chosen, will be deducted from the Customer’s bank account on the next direct debit attempt.

4.5. Disputes

In the event of a dispute regarding the amounts invoiced by RINGOVER GROUP for the use of the Service, the Customer must send a request from https://support.ringover.com within thirty (30) days of the date of issue of the invoice, indicating the invoice number to which the dispute relates.

6.3. Exclusion of liability

RINGOVER GROUP may not be held liable for any failure to perform the Services resulting from a failure by the Customer to comply with the terms of Article 5.2 hereof or from the intervention of a third party other than a subcontractor of RINGOVER GROUP.

In the event of early termination before the then current Subscription Term, the Customer will be liable for early termination fees equal to the amount of the last invoice for the subscription multiplied by the number of months remaining until the end of the then current Subscription Term. In the event of early termination within a period of one (1) month, following an increase in rates resulting from a change at the initiative of RINGOVER GROUP, as described in article 3.2 hereof, the Client shall not be liable to pay any early termination fees.

All invoices and recurring fees must be paid up to the termination date. In the event of early termination, the Customer will be liable for early termination fees equal to the amount of the last invoice for the subscription multiplied by the number of months remaining until the end of the then current Subscription Term.

9.2. Termination for cause

9.2.1. Significant shortcomings

Either Party may terminate this Contract or a Purchase Order in the event of a material breach by the other Party of an essential obligation of this Contract upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other Party of such breach and if the breach is not remedied within such period. In particular, the obligations contained in Article 2 (Restrictions on Use) and Article 5 (Obligations of the Parties) shall be considered to be substantial obligations.

To the extent permitted by law and unless the appointed administrator decides otherwise, the Parties may also immediately and upon written notice terminate this Contract if the other Party is subject to liquidation or receivership proceedings (or any other similar proceedings).

9.2.3. Compensation

10. Portability

10.1. Inbound portability

Subject to technical eligibility, when Subscribing to the Service, the Customer may port one or more existing telephone numbers. The Customer declares that they are the legitimate owner of the telephone numbers for which they are requesting portability. The Customer declares that they are aware that the porting of their number entails the termination of their previous line as well as the cessation of the services initially associated with the number ported. RINGOVER GROUP cannot be held liable for the discontinuation of the associated services. If the Customer wishes to request a new portability to their original operator, they must inform RINGOVER GROUP before the effective date of the portability of their previous number. The Customer’s number portability request will only be initiated by RINGOVER GROUP once it has received all the documents requested when registering for the Service. Any incomplete file will make it impossible to launch the portability request. The implementation of the portability of the Customer’s number depends in part on the operator of the Customer’s line. In this respect, RINGOVER GROUP cannot be held liable if the announced portability deadlines are not met. Incoming portability is carried out from Monday to Friday on a technical schedule imposed by the infrastructure operators, which will be communicated to the Customer in advance. Any incoming portability request from the Customer outside these time slots, if accepted by RINGOVER GROUP, will be subject to additional billing to the Customer. The start date of the commitment shall be understood to be the first day of the invoiced period as indicated on the first invoice.

10.2. Outgoing portability

In the event of the closure of the Ringover account for any reason whatsoever, the Customer accepts that the telephone number may be allocated after a period of six (6) months to another Customer or for another Service. The Customer may, however, keep its Ringover Number in the event of an outgoing portability request to another operator. This request must be made by the Customer’s new operator at least thirty (30) calendar days before the end of the Subscription period. Once the Customer’s Subscription period has expired or the Subscription has been terminated, no portability request can be considered. The portability request by the new operator will result in the automatic termination of the ported line and all associated services. In order for outgoing portability of the Ringover Number to be accepted, the Customer must have provided proof of a valid local address in the geographical area of the Ringover Number concerned when the Ringover Number was activated. RINGOVER GROUP shall not be liable in the event of technical impossibility of outgoing portability of the Ringover Number or in the event of malfunctioning subsequent to outgoing portability of the Ringover Number.

Appendix 1 - Description of the RINGOVER Services

Ringover is a professional internet telephony (VoIP) service, which allows company employees to receive and make phone calls directly from a web browser (without a software to install), a mobile application or a SIP phone.

Ringover also allows calls to the Ringover Number to be automatically forwarded to a landline or mobile phone number and to receive and send faxes, under the conditions defined below.

Mobile numbers assigned by Ringover to Client can only be used via a mobile access (cell phone, 3G/4G/5G modem, etc.).

The Ringover Service may be used to make emergency calls (112) provided that the country concerned is eligible and that the Customer has provided RINGOVER GROUP with proof of their geographical location. It is understood that the emergency call service is not provided from mobile numbers.

Subject to activation, the Ringover service can be used to make local emergency calls (112, 17, 18, 115, etc.) but the Customer is reminded that emergency calls made via Ringover are specific in that these calls may not be routed if the VoIP service is interrupted and there is a risk that the call will be redirected to an inappropriate emergency call centre and that the emergency services will be sent to the wrong location, as by definition, Ringover does not know the exact location of the person dialling the emergency number.

The transfer service to an external number is charged according to the destination (e.g. on a French number 0.03 euros/min).

To use the fax service, you need a dedicated number (at 5 euros excl. tax/month) associated with your user who will receive the document on their mailbox. Sending faxes is done via the Ringover interface in the dedicated menu.

The Services are presented at: https://www.ringover.co.uk/features.

Customer service and support can be contacted by phone or email from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. CET (closed on public holidays).

The Customer can also subscribe to chargeable options, excluded from the subscription rate, directly on the Dashboard. The chosen options will be invoiced from the month following their subscription. Some options may be assigned to an Access, in this case, the option will follow the commitment period of the Access to which it is associated. Furthermore, for committed customers, when Access is removed, the option will also be terminated, for uncommitted customers, they may remove the option at any time.

For the Costumers of the SMART pack, a maximum of 500 distinct contacts per month applies for outgoing calls.

The subscription rates are available on the applicable Purchase Order or from https://www.ringover.co.uk/pricing.

1. Type of package according to the chosen Subscription

When subscribing, the Customer may, provided they are eligible, opt for an Access including unlimited calls or for an Access billed on a consumption basis:

  • In the event of a Subscription to Access with unlimited calls, all Users linked to the Customer Account by virtue of the Accesses purchased by the latter benefit from an unlimited call and fax sending package to the destinations accessible at the following URL https://www.ringover.co.uk/pricing or on the page of the Purchase Order "Calling rates" and hereafter referred to as "Zone 1" or "Included". Telephone operators in some European countries (European Economic Area and Switzerland) surcharge calls according to the country of origin of the call.
    Therefore, in order to benefit from unlimited calls to destinations in the European Economic Area Included in the package, the User must call with a telephone number from one of the member countries of the European Economic Area. If the User uses another type of telephone number to call to a destination in the European Economic Area, the call will be charged at the rate indicated at the following url: https://www.ringover.co.uk/pricing.
    Similarly, to benefit from unlimited calls to Switzerland Included in the package, the User must call with a Swiss telephone number. If the User uses another type of telephone number to call to Switzerland, the call will be charged at the rate indicated at the following url: https://www.ringover.co.uk/pricing.
    The package with unlimited calls is intended for traditional business telephony use, in the context of an interpersonal conversation between two individuals. Telecommunications professionals (telephone operators, call centres, telestores, telemarketing companies, etc.) are not eligible for the package with unlimited calls. Furthermore, for any mobile number not in the ARCEP numbering plan, only national interpersonal traffic is covered.
  • In order to make or receive calls not included in this unlimited package, the Customer must first purchase (prepaid) call credits, which can be used by all Users. These credits are valid for the Subscription Term and are non-refundable, non-exchangeable and non-transferable to another Customer Account.

The addition of any new Access and/or Ringover Number during the course of the contract will give rise to additional charges which will be calculated on the basis of the prices indicated on the Purchase Order or on the website www.ringover.fr on the page https://www.ringover.co.uk/pricing.

The deletion of a Ringover Number associated with a Ringover Account with no commitment will be free of charge. The deletion of a Ringover Number associated with a Ringover Account with a committed Subscription will result in the invoicing of an amount equal to six (6) months of prices for the said Ringover Number. However, the deletion of the Number during an assignment before its portability or during the test period will be free of charge for Customers with a Subscription with or without a commitment. Parties agree that the deletion of a Number does not entail the deletion of an Access and inversely.

2. Conditions applicable to the sending of SMS

The Service does not allow the sending of SMS+, premium SMS and SMS to international destinations. Furthermore, an SMS has a maximum length of 160 characters when composed of standard 7-bit characters, and 70 characters when composed of Unicode characters. The SMS will be charged at the rate indicated at the following URL: https://www.ringover.co.uk/pricing.

3. Exceeding the package

If the package is exceeded, calls will be charged per second, according to our current rates (for example: for France landlines: three euro cents (€0.03) excl. tax per minute). In the case of calls not included in the unlimited package, the Service will be invoiced per second from the first second, except in the case of calls to special numbers.

4. Volume commitment

The Customer undertakes not to reduce the volume of committed Accesses subscribed to during the total term of the Contract (whether this concerns the number of Accesses subscribed to on the initial purchase order or any Accesses added during the performance of the Contract).

Sharing and shared use of the User Account is not permitted. In particular, the use of the User Account as a call collection and/or termination provider is not permitted and it is notably forbidden to use the Service to receive or make calls with a telephone switch, switchboard, automatic call machine or telephony software. The User Account is limited to one simultaneous call per User. As an optional paid extra, a User can benefit from additional call channels.

When the Customer benefits from the SIP option, any abusive use of the package with unlimited calls using automated call processing devices (switch, PABX, dialler, robocalls, voicebot, etc.) is strictly prohibited and considered as fraud.

Furthermore, in the event of use of numbers contrary to applicable regulations, in particular with regard to telephone canvassing, RINGOVER GROUP reserves the right to ipso jure suspend and/or terminate the unlimited call package and/or apply penalties of up to eight cents (8 cots) per minute in addition to the nominal call rate.

As the regulations relating to the recording of telephone conversations, their transcription and their retention period vary according to the countries/geographical areas concerned, it is the responsibility of Customers and Users, when considering activating this option, to ensure that it is legal in terms of the applicable standards, it being specified that in certain countries, the User must inform his/her correspondents of the recording of their telephone conversation and of the fact that they may object to such recording at any time. The use of the recording and transcription options is the sole responsibility of the Customers and Users of the Service, who are responsible for ensuring compliance with local regulations.

The Customer acknowledges that the Services provided by RINGOVER GROUP are standardised and shared services, and not designed to support, in themselves, a critical or important function within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 or Digital Operational Resilience Act (“DORA”).

The test period will only be available to new Users and is limited to 5 Accesses. The test period includes 60 minutes of communication per User excluding premium numbers, SMS and international communications.
