Basically the lawyers are saying:
This Agreement applies to you, and you are 18 or older.
Agreement
This Agreement will begin, and a binding contract will exist between Tresta and you when you subscribe to the Services. It will continue on a month-to-month basis until terminated as set forth herein.
Basically the lawyers are saying:
Our Services are month to month until one of us decides to turn the Services off.
The Services
Tresta provides a cloud-based phone system with features such as interconnected VOIP calling, audio-bridging, call forwarding, call routing, auto attendant, SMS and MMS messaging, and more (the “Services”). The scope of Services may change with the addition or modification of features and may not be available in all areas. Services are subject to the terms and conditions outlined herein.
Calling
Geographic Scope. The Services only support calls to and from the U.S. and Canada (U.S. and Canadian phone numbers). We reserve the right, in our sole and exclusive discretion, to block access to and from specific phone numbers or geographic locations that that we deem to be fraudulent.
Fraudulent Calls. We cannot control the calls that are placed to phone numbers you provision from or port into Tresta. If you become aware of or suspect that fraudulent activity is occurring on phone numbers you have provisioned from Tresta, it is your responsibility to notify us in writing immediately so that appropriate action can be taken to minimize costs. You are solely responsible for all charges incurred on your Account whether or not they are incurred by you personally, except those incurred after a suspension of your Account due to your written notification to us of unauthorized access.
Service Interruptions. You acknowledge and agree that the Services may not be available 100% of the time. Credit allowances for interruptions of service may be provided on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of Tresta and shall be your sole remedy for any service interruptions or problems with the Services.

Messaging
Availability. Tresta offers SMS and MMS messaging to all customers utilizing the Services, however, customers are required to successfully complete a third-party verification process before Mobile Network Operators (“MNO”) such as Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T will agree to receive and send messages to/from the customer. Tresta will manage all aspects of the verification process on behalf of customers, but the final approval decision is not within the scope of Tresta’s control and Tresta shall not incur any liability if a customer’s Account cannot be approved for messaging by one or all the MNOs. Further, Tresta cannot guarantee the delivery or receipt of messages where the recipient/sender is outside of Tresta’s network as MNOs and related carriers may block messages without notice to Tresta in accordance with their own policies.
Limitations on Messaging. Tresta must follow and adhere to all guidelines and requirements of the Mobile Network Operators and related carriers, including the CTIA guidelines found here and as amended from time to time. Messaging is not a regulated telecommunications service under the FCC, and as such, MNOs frequently impose restrictions and requirements on messaging services that Tresta, and by extension its customers, must adhere to. When new requirements or restrictions are released, Tresta will use commercially reasonable means to notify and update customers as applicable, however, Tresta cannot be liable for changes to messaging requirements or availability imposed by third-party carriers outside of Tresta’s control.
Specifically, customers may be limited to the types of phone numbers (local versus toll-free) that are permitted to use messaging, the quantity of phone numbers that are permitted to use messaging, the quantity and speed of messages being sent/received, and the types of messages that customers are permitted to send. These limitations are subject to change at any time and without notice. For the most up-to-date messaging limitations, customers should reach out to our customer support team. In addition, customers must comply with the messaging requirements outlined in Tresta’s Acceptable Use Policy, found at www.tresta.com/legal/acceptable-use-policy. Customers who violate any provision in the AUP, as determined by Tresta, may have messages blocked or disabled altogether or may have Services terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Contacts
You have the option to import and store contacts on your Tresta Account. You acknowledge that some contacts may be shared with others in your Account depending on your settings and configurations, and Tresta will incur no liability for information contained in your contacts which may be shared with other users in your Account. Tresta stores your contacts for your convenience and has no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the deletion or failure to store contacts, and you acknowledge and agree that Tresta may establish limits as to the size or quantity of contacts at any time.
Phone Numbers
Ownership of Phone Numbers. Tresta provides toll-free and local phone numbers. You own any phone number provisioned through Tresta, or ported in to Tresta from a third-party provider while your Account is active. If an Account is terminated, you are no longer the owner of any phone numbers and they may no longer be available for you to use or port/transfer.
Porting In and Out. You may port (transfer) phone numbers to another carrier at no charge. You must, however, notify us of the transfer of the number so that we can assure it is added or removed from your Account accordingly.
You are responsible for all charges that accrue on your Account regardless of whether a phone number was transferred to another carrier if you don’t notify us of the transfer. If you transfer numbers to another carrier and intend to cancel your Tresta Account, you must cancel your account through the web portal or by calling us 1-844-2-TRESTA so that all charges can be terminated.
Tresta will use reasonable efforts to help you port numbers in or out of our Services. You understand, however, that the number porting process depends on third parties outside of Tresta’s control. Tresta will not be liable for any failure or delay of a third party to cooperate in the porting of a phone number, or for the allegedly unauthorized porting of a telephone number by a third party.
Termination of Account/Reassignment of Phone Numbers. After an Account is terminated for any reason, Tresta may reassign phone numbers on your Account to other customers or to a reserve inventory. The number will then be unavailable for you to transfer to another carrier, and Tresta will not be responsible for any costs which result due to the loss of a phone number. It is your responsibility to transfer numbers to other carriers prior to terminating the Tresta Account if you wish to retain those phone numbers.
Phone Number Testing. Tresta makes every effort to ensure that phone numbers provisioned to you are working immediately after purchase. There are some technical considerations, however, which are beyond Tresta’s control. Therefore, you must test any phone number provisioned by Tresta immediately after purchase to ensure it is working properly. Tresta will not be responsible for any advertising expenses or other costs which could have been avoided had you tested the phone number immediately after purchase.
Disputes over Phone Numbers. Tresta will not adjudicate disputes over ownership of an Account or phone numbers. In the event a dispute is not resolved independent of Tresta, Tresta reserves the right to terminate an Account to avoid further charges from accruing.

Spam and Call Blocking
As a convenience feature to our customers, Tresta offers the ability to automatically block calls that do not pass a “human detection test” or meet other blocking specifications as may be released or amended from time to time. Customers are responsible for configuring these settings at their discretion and may elect to “white-list” phone numbers permitted to bypass the blocking mechanisms. Customers are solely responsible for configuring and maintaining their call-blocking and white-list configurations. Tresta will not be liable for any missed calls or messages as a result of the use of call and/or spam-blocking mechanisms.
Call Recording
Availability. You have the option to have all calls placed through the Tresta platform recorded. Copies of recordings can be accessed by logging into your Account at www.tresta.com. Call recordings can also be downloaded or emailed to you via your Account or by contacting customer service.
Legal Requirements.. Significant laws govern the recording of telephone calls, and these laws vary by State. You are required to obtain consent from all participants of the call to record a conversation. You are solely responsible for complying with all federal, state and local laws in any relevant jurisdiction when using this feature. Tresta expressly disclaims all liability with respect to the recording of telephone conversations. You agree to fully, finally and forever release, discharge, hold harmless and fully indemnify Tresta from and against any damages or liabilities of any kind related to your recording of conversations using the Services.

Basically the lawyers are saying:
We work in the US and Canada. Test your Services and let us know if they don’t work or if you suspect fraud. If you want to take a phone number with you to another carrier, let us know before you cancel services or else you might lose your number. Don’t record calls without telling the other person! To use messaging, your account must be approved, and you must adhere to all guidelines as outlined in the Acceptable Use Policy.
Account Set-up and Maintenance
Customer Information. You agree to provide Tresta with true, accurate, current and complete contact information and to maintain this information accordingly. You are responsible for updating us as soon as reasonably possible of any changes to your contact details. If you provide information that is, or that Tresta suspects to be, false, inaccurate, not current, fraudulent or otherwise unlawful, Tresta has the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate the Services and refuse any and all current or future use of Services by you, your business, affiliates and all users on your Account.
Account Set-up. You shall be responsible for setting up and maintaining an Account with Tresta, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any directives from us. A credit card is required to set up an Account, and for billing purposes.
Account Ownership. The Account owner shall be the legal entity that signs up for the Services with Tresta (e.g., corporation, partnership, individual). If no legal entity is provided upon sign-up, the account owner shall be the owner of the credit card used to open the Account. Account ownership may be transferred to another individual or business upon the written request of an existing Account owner, our written approval, and the written approval of the recipient. Individuals who create an Account on behalf of a business represent and warrant that they possess the legal right, capacity and ability to enter into this Agreement with Tresta on behalf of the business. If the individual lacked the legal right, capacity and ability to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the business, the individual will be held liable for all charges on the Account.

Basically the lawyers are saying:
Keep your contact information with us up to date, and let us know if you need to transfer the ownership of an Account to someone else.
Access to Services
Administrators. You may designate specific Users to make changes to the Account by adding the User to either the “System Admin” or “Billing Admin” User Group. A User who is a member of the System Admin User Group will have permission to, and access to, modify all configurations on the Account (such as adding/removing phone numbers, adding/removing Users and configuring call routing options), but cannot view or modify information related to billing. A User who is a member of the Billing Admin User Group will have permission to, and access to, view and modify all billing-related activities (such as adding/deleting/removing credit cards, viewing statements, and cancelling the Account) but cannot modify how the Services are configured. A User may be a member of both the System Admin and Billing Admin User Group. Users must establish a verification question and answer before Tresta will permit them to access or change the Account. It is the responsibility of the System Administrators to update and maintain Users on the Account. Tresta will not be responsible for changes made on an Account pursuant to a request by a System Admin or Billing Admin.
Access to Customer’s Account. Tresta will assume that any individual that creates an Account or is a System or Billing Administrator has the legal right to set up the Account, transfer Account ownership, terminate the Account, setup or transfer phone numbers to another provider, and otherwise manage the Account. With respect to any Business Account, Tresta will make this assumption unless Tresta is otherwise notified in writing by a representative of the business who can demonstrate this legal right (typically an officer or director).
Password Protection. You are responsible for maintaining a password. Tresta is not responsible for activities that happen on the Account by the sharing of the password or the granting of access to your Account.
Transmission of Content. You are solely responsible for the content you transmit via the Services. We will not be responsible for any content sent or received by you.

Credit Card on File. It is your sole responsibility to update credit cards on file in the event a credit card is closed or expires. Time is of the essence for payment.
Billing Cycle. Your billing cycle will be on the same day each month and is determined by the date your Account was converted from a free trial to a paid Account, or by the date of re-activation if your Account was previously closed. For example, if you convert to a paid Account on the 3rd of the month, your bill cycle will run from the 3rd to the 2nd of each month. If you convert to a paid Account after the 23rd of any given month, your billing cycle will begin on the 1st day of the following month and end on the last day of each month.
Invoice Delivery. By default, billing related communications will be sent to the email addresses associated with any User who is a member of the Billing Admin User Group. You may also request that billing related communications be copied to additional addresses by configuring this in your Account or by contacting Customer Service.

Termination of Account for Non-payment. We reserve the right to terminate your Account due to failure to pay an invoice when due. You will be notified by email if your Account has been terminated.

Fees for Non-payment. If an Account balance remains unpaid, an Account may be turned over to an outside, third-party collections agency.

This fee amount is subject to change without notice.
Declined Credit Card. If a credit card payment is declined, we will attempt to recharge it on several occasions without advance notice. If we do not receive payment, either through an automated recharge or by a payment initiated by Customer, within twenty-one (21) calendar days from the statement date, the Account will be closed for non-payment. You can re-activate the Account by paying the balance due in full.
New Account Balance. Customers with a past due balance will be charged the full balance due upon opening a new Account or re-activating a closed Account.
Credits and Refunds. Tresta plans and bundled allowances may only be used for our Services, and you will not be entitled to receive any cash refund for any remaining credit or allowance unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement. Credits and allowances are not transferable, and no interest will be payable on credit balances or allowances. Credits issued on an Account will be applied toward future charges and balances and will not be refunded to a credit card except (a) in unusual circumstances as approved by a Customer Service Manager; or (b) after the termination of an Account, in which case negative balances will be refunded to a credit card five (5) calendar days after the final statement is generated.
Disputed Charges. You must notify us by e-mail to support@tresta.com of any disputed charges/debits within thirty (30) days of the statement date reflecting the disputed charge. To the extent we determine that a billing adjustment is warranted, we will credit your Account accordingly.

Tresta further reserves the right to terminate a specific subscriber’s Free Trial Offer prior to the end of that user’s Free Trial Period at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to a violation of this Agreement, including Tresta’s Acceptable Use Policy, without notice and with no liability. After such time of termination, Tresta shall not be obligated to redeem any further Free Trial Offers.

We may offer a free trial of our Services so that you can see how great our Services are without spending any money. We ask, however, that you use it fairly or else we can cancel your trial at any time. Also, your trial will automatically convert to a paid account, so let us know before that happens if you don’t want to keep the Services.
Taxes and Other Charges
Taxes and Fees. All prices are exclusive of taxes and fees. You must pay all taxes, fees, surcharges and other charges that we bill you for the Services unless you can show documentation satisfactory to us that you are exempt. We will not provide advance notice of changes to taxes, fees, surcharges and other charges, except as required by applicable law. For more information on taxes and fees, please visit www.tresta.com/legal/taxes-and-fees.
Estimates. Taxes, fees and surcharges shown during the signup process or on Bill Cycle To Date summaries represent estimated taxes only. Final taxes, fees and surcharges will be calculated when an invoice is processed and may vary due to changes in usage, tax rates or other factors.
Universal Service Charges. You will be responsible for applicable universal service charges unless you submit a valid resale exemption certificate on an annual basis on a form prescribed by Tresta. Absent a valid resale exemption certificate, Tresta will assess applicable federal universal service fund charges (“FUSF Fees”) on your Account. Similarly, Tresta reserves the right to assess state-level universal service fees (“State USF Fees”) on your Account per applicable law, unless you submit valid exemption certifications on forms prescribed by Tresta. If Tresta waives FUSF or State USF Fees for you (in whole or in part) based on information you provided, and Tresta thereafter determines that inaccuracy in the information provided resulted in a waiver of FUSF or State USF Fees with respect to charges that constitute Tresta end-user revenues (as defined by the FCC), then Tresta may bill you for the FUSF or State USF Fees that were waived as a result of such inaccuracy and, if Tresta does bill you this amount, you agree to pay. If you are reclassified as an end user with respect to any service previously exempted, Tresta may bill you for the FUSF or State USF Fees that would have applied with respect to such services in the absence of the waiver plus any applicable late fees and/or interest and, if Tresta does bill you this amount, you agree to pay. You further agree to defend Tresta against any audits, claims, actions or lawsuits resulting from your claim that you are exempt from paying the FUSF or State Fees, and you further acknowledge your responsibility to pay any resulting FUSF or State Fees, damages, expenses, fines, judgments, interest, late fees, liabilities or losses resulting from such audits, claims, actions or lawsuits.
Cost Recovery Fee. A cost recovery fee may be added to invoices containing voice communications charges to offset costs incurred by Tresta in compliance with applicable regulations and collection of federal, state and municipal taxes, fees, contributions and/or charges associated with federal and state universal service and related programs. These include the telecommunications services for the sight and hearing impaired, local number portability, North American Numbering Plan administration, and administrative costs, fees and expenditures related to compliance with Federal regulatory programs and annual FCC regulatory fee obligations and any related fees to ensure compliance. This fee is not a tax or charge required or assessed by any government, but a permissible pass-through fee. You agree to pay such fees if invoiced.
Estimates. Taxes, fees and surcharges shown during the signup process or on Bill Cycle To Date summaries represent estimated taxes only. Final taxes, fees and surcharges will be calculated when an invoice is processed and may vary due to changes in usage, tax rates or other factors.

Absent a valid resale exemption certificate, Tresta will assess applicable federal universal service fund charges (“FUSF Fees”) on your Account. Similarly, Tresta reserves the right to assess state-level universal service fees (“State USF Fees”) on your Account per applicable law, unless you submit valid exemption certifications on forms prescribed by Tresta. If Tresta waives FUSF or State USF Fees for you (in whole or in part) based on information you provided, and Tresta thereafter determines that inaccuracy in the information provided resulted in a waiver of FUSF or State USF Fees with respect to charges that constitute Tresta end-user revenues (as defined by the FCC), then Tresta may bill you for the FUSF or State USF Fees that were waived as a result of such inaccuracy and, if Tresta does bill you this amount, you agree to pay. If you are reclassified as an end user with respect to any service previously exempted, Tresta may bill you for the FUSF or State USF Fees that would have applied with respect to such services in the absence of the waiver plus any applicable late fees and/or interest and, if Tresta does bill you this amount, you agree to pay. You further agree to defend Tresta against any audits, claims, actions or lawsuits resulting from your claim that you are exempt from paying the FUSF or State Fees, and you further acknowledge your responsibility to pay any resulting FUSF or State Fees, damages, expenses, fines, judgments, interest, late fees, liabilities or losses resulting from such audits, claims, actions or lawsuits.
Cost Recovery Fee. A cost recovery fee may be added to invoices containing voice communications charges to offset costs incurred by Tresta in compliance with applicable regulations and collection of federal, state and municipal taxes, fees, contributions and/or charges associated with federal and state universal service and related programs. These include the telecommunications services for the sight and hearing impaired, local number portability, North American Numbering Plan administration, and administrative costs, fees and expenditures related to compliance with Federal regulatory programs and annual FCC regulatory fee obligations and any related fees to ensure compliance. This fee is not a tax or charge required or assessed by any government, but a permissible pass-through fee. You agree to pay such fees if invoiced.
Basically the lawyers are saying:
You have to pay your taxes and fees. Thank a politician!
