Description of Platform
Company provides a seamless calling solution to its users, by allowing users to reduce their wait times and receive priority service when calling the IRS and such other agencies as the Company may list from time to time. Through the Platform, users shall receive an estimated wait time for all calls to the IRS and other government agencies, as applicable. Please be aware that all wait times are approximate. Company will post the pricing and other information for one or more service plans as may be available from time to time (each a “Plan”) on the Site. The Company provides only telephone access to certain departments within the IRS and such other governmental agencies as listed by the Company from time to time. The Platform is not, and does not provide a substitute for, telephone service, and cannot be used to reach end users other than the agencies identified on the Site.
You acknowledge, understand and agree that Company’s solution does not provide services equivalent to, and our services and Platform are not replacements for, telephone services. You must receive wired or mobile telephone services, or Voice over Internet Protocol services, from a third-party carrier or service provider to place calls using the Platform.

The enQ Wait Times quoted are best estimates based on past data and user activity and are for informational purposes only. As none of the wait times are exact, you agree to release us from any liability related to or associated with any wait times above the estimated enQ Wait Time. However, as we wish to provide you with excellent service, if you feel that your wait time was excessive in relation to the quoted enQ Wait Time, please contact us at support@callenq.com. You acknowledge and agree that the enQ Wait Time estimates only the approximate wait time to connect to an IRS/agency representative, and there may be an additional wait time once you are connected to the IRS/ agency representative, which is not included in the enQ Wait Time. Company cannot provide you with any estimates for any IRS or other applicable agency wait times, and will have no liability for the length of call, wait time or delays once you are connected to the IRS or other agency.

-
Trials
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, offer trials of the services provided by the Platform. Any trials may be subject to additional terms or restrictions as posted on the Site from time to time. Company reserves the right and final discretion to decide whether to continue or discontinue any trials. If you elect to upgrade to a Plan during your trial, your trial will end immediately and your credit card (which you will provide either at the time of enrolling in the trial, if required under the terms of the trial, or upon selecting a Plan) will be charged in accordance with Section 23 hereof. However, if you upgrade during your trial, your unused trial credits will convert to roll-over credits, subject to the roll-over credit cap.
-
Plans
If you are on a trial, you can upgrade to a paid Plan at any time on or before the final day of the trial period. Unless otherwise stated on the Site, each Plan that you select is month to month. Plans shall be billed and charged automatically until you terminate your Plan as set forth in Section 23 below. Each Plan listed shall have allotted credits as stated on the Plan. Monthly Plans include the ability to roll-over credits up to the roll-over cap specified in the Plan information posted on the Site. If you exceed your Plan monthly credits and any saved roll-over credits, each additional credit shall be billed to you based on the plan prorated calculation.
-
Credit Calculations
In order to continue using the Platform after any trial, you must subscribe to a Plan. Once you have subscribed to a Plan you may continue using the services via the Platform. You may make a call using the Platform at any time by calling the number provided and entering your PIN. Company shall then provide you with the estimated enQ Wait Time and credit per minute rate. If you decide to connect please follow the verbal prompts. Billed call time is measured starting from when Company connects you to the IRS or other agency line and ends when the call is disconnected. Credits are deducted from your Plan at the time of disconnection. The billed call time increment is 1 second. Your remaining Plan credits for the month and roll-over credits shall be listed in your account dashboard. If you exceed your Plan monthly credits and accrued roll-over credits, each additional credit shall be billed to you at a rate of $0.01/credit, or such other rate as then posted for your Plan. For example, if you exceed your monthly Plan by 500 credits, you will be charged an additional $5.00 for the extra credits. Plan credits, roll-over credits, and trial credits have no cash value and cannot be refunded.
-
Roll-over Credits
Company's monthly Plans includes roll-over credits capped at three times your Plan credits. At the end of your billing cycle, unused credits roll over to the following month subject to the roll-over credit cap. For example, if your monthly Plan is $300/month for 30k credits/month, you may accrue up to 90k credits. Unused roll-over credits expire 3 months after accruing them. Yearly Plans do not include roll-over credits.
-
Changing Plans
You can change your Plan at any time by logging into the website. If you are changing from a Monthly plan to another Monthly Plan, you will be able to keep your unused credits as roll-over credits subject to the roll-over credit cap on the new plan. Changing your plan from a Monthly Plan to a Yearly Plan or vice-versa will not allow you to keep roll-over credits. However, you can reach out to the Company at support@callenq.com and the Company can decide to add lost credits on a case-by-case basis.
-
Credit per Minute Rate
Company’s rate per call ("credits per minute") is dynamic and determined as function of supply and demand, as estimated by us based upon our evaluation of the factors described below. The “credit per minute rate” or “dynamic rate” may vary depending on the department called and time of day at which the call is placed. For example, the rate for a popular IRS department at 7am EST may be significantly less than the same department at noon. The rate for a low demand IRS department may be low regardless of the time of the day. Supply is defined as the quantity of agents, lines or extensions at a particular call destination and difficulty in reaching an agent at a particular department / time of day. Supply is limited as any agency answers a finite number of calls per day. In addition, reaching an IRS agent can be difficult due to the IRS' courtesy disconnects and long hold times. Demand is defined as the number of Company customers desiring to connect to the same department or extension at the same time of day.
-
Fair Usage
Our “fair usage” policy offers unlimited legitimate calls. We want to give our customers the opportunity to call again if they get disconnected for whatever reason. Nothing in the foregoing limits the application of our rates as set forth herein or on the Site, or the restrictions on use contained elsewhere in these Terms of Service or in other posted policies of Company.
-
Involuntary Disconnects
If Company determines, in its sole discretion, that your call was dropped by the recipient very soon after we connected you to the line, we may elect not to bill you for that call. Company reserves the right to define exactly what “very soon” means, but typically will mean less than a few minutes. Except as stated in this Section, Company does not compensate for dropped calls. Company does not monitor the customer's call and cannot verify the legitimacy of a dropped call claim. Calls can drop anywhere in the path between the customer to Company to the called party, and the completion of calls relies upon third-party networks and the facilities of the called party, over which Company has no control and for which Company will have no obligation or liability.
-
Subscription and Payment
Following any applicable trial period, you will be required to pay a monthly or intra-monthly (as set forth below) subscription fee or other fee as listed on the Platform. You agree to pay the fee listed on the Platform upon sign-up or upon the expiration of your trial. Charges for the credits assigned under your Plan, along with all applicable taxes and fees thereon, are charged monthly or intra-monthly (as set forth below) in advance, with overages and any other usage-based or variable charge, and any applicable taxes and fees thereon, charged monthly or intra-monthly (as set forth below) in arrears. Upon selecting a Plan, you will provide current credit card information. YOU AUTHORIZE COMPANY TO CHARGE, AND COMPANY WILL CHARGE, THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD AT THE START OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION (AS IDENTIFIED IN THE PLAN), AND ON A RECURRING BASIS THEREAFTER, UNLESS AND UNTIL YOUR AGREEMENT IS CANCELLED AS PROVIDED HEREIN. WE BILL INCREMENTALLY THROUGH THE USE OF CREDIT LIMITS. THE CREDIT LIMIT ASSOCIATED WITH A CREDIT LINE IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU CAN SPEND BEFORE WE RECEIVE A PAYMENT. IT IS NOT CREDIT OR FINANCING. THE CREDIT LIMIT SERVES AS A CAP ON THE AMOUNT OF SPEND AUTHORIZED ON YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE PAYMENT WILL BE OWED TO US. AS A RESULT, THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE YOUR ACCOUNT COULD BE BILLED INTRA-MONTHLY TO THE EXTENT YOU MEET OR EXCEED THE INCREMENTAL CREDIT LIMIT TIERS SET FORTH BELOW:

-
Price Increases

If you cancel or terminate your Plan, you will lose your credits including Plan credits, trial credits, and any roll-over credits that have accrued, and you will not be reimbursed for any such credits not used on or before the Termination Date. Upon termination you will not be entitled to any refunds or proration of any subscription fees paid except as stated in this Agreement.
