This document (the "Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions that govern your use of the services offered by or through Uncall (the "App"). Your use of any of our services will constitute acceptance of this Agreement and will have the same legal effect as if you were providing a handwritten signature of acceptance. The services are not offered and will not operate except in the United States, UK, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kon,g Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy and Portugal.
Uncall offers you, among other things, the ability to automatically block nuisance calls (robocalls, telemarketers, etc.), to forward nuisance calls and record them, to blacklist and whitelist specific numbers, and to receive detailed information about callers. Uncall tries to provide the most accurate, current, and rich data available and to only block calls that are unwanted nuisance calls, but it makes no guarantees regarding the accuracy of the results it provides.
You agree to use the Uncall services only for purposes that are lawful. You shall not use this service to transmit any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, profane, hateful, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable material of any kind, including but not limited to any material that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, gives rise to civil liability, or otherwise violates any applicable local, state, national, or foreign law. In particular, the optional Answer Bot feature of Uncall permits recording of calls, which, depending on the state or country in which you are located or the person calling you is located, may violate laws requiring a person recording a telephone conversation to obtain the consent of any other parties on the call to the recording. You may not use the recording capability of Uncall's Answer Bot feature unless you have determined that your use is legal. Before recording any call, you should check the laws of your state in order to determine if you need the other party's permission to record a call. Even if your state only requires the permission of one party, you may receive calls from people located in states that require the permission of both parties to record a call. If you record such a call without the knowledge and permission of the other person, you may be subject to civil penalties or criminal prosecution in the other state.
Uncall's service leverages two technologies to help you block nuisance calls. In order to use the service, you must enable the Call Blocking & Identification Setting for Uncall in your iPhone’s Phone Settings. If you fail to do this, Uncall will not be able to identify and block nuisance calls from numbers on its global blacklist.
In order to use several of Uncall features, the service will also walk you through a process to adjust your phone's conditional call forwarding feature, which operates by forwarding all unanswered calls to a different number. To use Uncall services, you must configure your phone's conditional call forwarding service to redirect unanswered calls to our number. Uncall will then query its own and third parties’ databases to identify the caller (if that is possible) and provide you with additional information about the caller. You are solely responsible for any charges imposed by your mobile service provider for (i) using the conditional call forwarding feature, (ii) local or long distance usage, and (iii) text message and data usage.
Uncall provides a feature that provides you the ability to see the numbers that made blocked nuisance calls to you and stores any voicemails left by those callers. Uncall encourages you to check these numbers and messages regularly to ensure that you whitelist any legitimate phone number so that it will not be blocked in the future. The App also provides you the ability to create and modify a personal whitelist and blacklist. You can use the whitelist feature to ensure that a specific number is never blocked for you by the Uncall service. When you blacklist a number, the service will play your currently selected Answer Bot to the caller. You can add or remove users from your personal blacklist and whitelist at any time through screens on the App.
Uncall also offers a feature called "Answer Bots" that answers any nuisance call that Uncall has blocked on your behalf. After it answers the call, Uncall plays back to that caller a pre-recorded interactive message known as an "Answer Bot". If you turn on the Answer Bot feature, the App makes recordings of the conversations between callers and the Answer Bot. These recordings are stored in Recents. You can turn off Answer Bots through the settings screen on the App at any time. In addition, you can record your own Answer Bots to play to nuisance callers, or choose individual or random selections of Answer Bots to play to incoming nuisance callers.
The Answer Bot feature is provided for entertainment purposes only. You are solely responsible for your creation and use of Answer Bots and for ensuring that the calls comply with federal and state laws applicable in the states in which you and the calling party are located.
Uncall also requires access to your phone's contacts list, so that whenever your phone forwards a call we can check the number against your list to confirm instantly whether the caller should be sent to your native voicemail or should instead be sent to our Answer Bots. Only the numbers in your contacts list will be saved on our servers. We do not store on our servers any other personal information about your contacts, such as name, photo, or email address.
Uncall also offers you the option to post publicly any nuisance call recordings stored in Recents.
Uncall does not upload your contacts information to or store it in any database. However, in order to provide its services, Uncall must access your mobile phone’s address book. You must give Uncall permission to do so. Without that permission, Uncall cannot provide its services to you. Uncall uses access to your contacts so that it can set a few administrative contacts to help you navigate the signup and activation process and in the process of blocking nuisance calls. Uncall is careful about protecting your privacy, especially in the context of your contacts and address book. More information is available in our privacy policy at www.uncall.me/privacy
Uncall also requires access to your phone’s notifications settings during the setup and activation process. The service uses this access to modify your phone’s settings, so the App can notify you (either by text message or by on-screen notification) when it blocks a phone call and to inform you when a call recording is available. From time to time, we may also use the process to notify you of important updates or changes to the service.
Uncall recognizes the owner of the mobile phone number on the account as the sole owner of the account.
Uncall provides a FREE TRIAL period during which you can use all features of the service for a limited period of time. You can manage or cancel the trial subscription through your App Store account.
Uncall’s services are provided through the APP STORE on a paid subscription basis. Uncall's rates for services are listed in the App and on the App Store. Uncall reserves the right to modify its rates at any time and/or to offer special promotions. Uncall does not issue refunds for services. Uncall does not send invoices to its customers. Instead, you have confidential access to your account balance information through the App Store. If you have a billing dispute, you must contact the App Store to seek a remedy.
We may from time to time introduce new features to the service or modify or delete existing features. We will notify you of any new or modified features when they become available, as well as any new or modified terms of this Agreement. Any new or modified terms will become effective for your use of the service upon the earlier of (i) your use of a new or modified feature to which the new or modified term relates or (ii) the date of your next App Store bill payment.
You may discontinue service at any time by contacting the App Store. You will not be entitled to any refund of unused balances if you discontinue service. Additionally, you will remain responsible for payment of all charges for services rendered up through the date you discontinue service. If you cancel the service, you must deactivate your account by following the instructions on the App’s Settings screen. If you fail to do this, you will not receive your voicemail messages and may experience other problems with your mobile phone service.
Uncall reserves the right, if it reasonably suspects that you are committing fraud or otherwise violating these terms of service, (a) to terminate this Agreement and your access to its services upon one (1) day’s electronic notice, (b) to refuse to allow you to recharge your account, or (c) to suspend your account immediately until further investigation takes place.
