Billing Cycle: If you choose to purchase or upgrade your illumy service and incur a recurring subscription fee in connection with your use of the service, the length of your billing cycle will depend upon when you sign up for the service. Your billing date corresponds to the day you signed up for the service. If your billing date is scheduled for a date that does not occur in every month (e.g., the 31st), you will be billing on the last day of the month instead. Monthly subscription fees are billed at the beginning of your billing cycle. Subscription fees are fully earned upon payment. In some cases your billing date may change, for example if your Payment Method has not successfully settled or if your paid membership began on a day not contained in a given month. To view your next billing payment date, sign in to your account, click on “Settings,” and then click on “Billing,” and view the “Billing period.” We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of a subscription or other service-related charges through various methods, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register.

At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, credit, or other consideration to some or all of our subscribers (“credits”). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.
Prepaid Calling Credits: You can purchase prepaid calling credits to make calls to landline and mobile phone numbers using the illumy calling service. Prepaid calling credits are held in your illumy account and can be viewed in your prepaid calling balance by signing into your account and going to Settings > Billing. Prepaid calling credits will remain active and available in your account for a period of one- year after they have been purchased. After one year, the prepaid credits will expire.
Charges for Calling to Landline and Mobile Phone Numbers: The rates for calling landlines and mobile phone numbers from illumy are charged a per-minute rate as defined in our public price tool at https://www.illumy.com/en-us/calling-rates/. Calls are charged in one-minute increments, with fractions of a minute rounded up to the next minute. When you make a call, illumy will verify that you have enough prepaid calling credits to complete the call. If your prepaid balance is low, the system will attempt to auto-purchase prepaid credits to replenish your balance and complete the call. During your call, the system will check to ensure enough prepaid calling credits are available to continue your call. If your prepaid calling credits become low during the call, the system will attempt to auto-purchase prepaid credits to replenish your balance and continue the call. If you run out of prepaid calling credits, the call will be disconnected. If the system attempts to auto-purchase prepaid credits but is unable to successfully complete the transaction, you may run out of prepaid calling credits and the call will be disconnected. During your call, the per-minute charge amount will be deducted from your prepaid calling balance. Calling rates are subject to change at any time without notice. New rates will apply to your next phone call after the new rates have been published. Call durations lasting over 4 hours are subject to disconnect and can be re-dialed to continue a call.
Calling Plans: illumy offers recurring subscription plans that offer unlimited calling to specified calling destinations as part of the plan. These recurring subscription plans are intended for individual use only and are subject to our Fair Usage Policy to prevent fraud and misuse. These plans exclude special, premium, and non-geographic numbers or other numbers that may be excluded for any reason or no reason by illumy. To benefit from the unlimited calling feature, you are required to have a paid subscription in good order. We reserve the right to terminate your subscription for any reason or no reason based on a breach of our Fair Usage Policy. We reserve the right to change our subscription plans following notice to you. Changes in subscription plans may include the addition, modification, and deletion of specified calling destinations that are part of the plan.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.
Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. illumy expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement.

Agreement to Arbitrate This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and illumy, whether arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Terms of Service, you and illumy are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief You and illumy agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and the illumy agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s), except that you may pursue a claim for the arbitrator may award public injunctive relief under applicable law to the extent required for the enforceability of this provision.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution illumy is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at support (at) illumy (dot) com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to illumy should be sent to illumy inc., Attn: Notice of Dispute, 554 Kingsbridge Ct., San Ramon, CA 94583 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If illumy and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or illumy may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by illumy or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or illumy is entitled.
Arbitration Procedures Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Unless illumy and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, illumy agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Costs of Arbitration Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, illumy will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, illumy will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, illumy will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
Confidentiality All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement Notwithstanding any provision in this Terms of Service to the contrary, illumy agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending illumy written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
You agree that illumy, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if illumy believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Service, and may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. illumy may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this Terms of Service may be affected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that illumy may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that illumy will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Service and illumy will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. illumy reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Service.
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and illumy and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and illumy with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third party content or third-party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
