It is forbidden to use WILDIX systems in any way in order to obtain advantages for oneself or for others, including but not limited to by means of telephone calls or SMSes sent to numbers such as mobile or fixed network numbers with so-called "auto top-up" or "reward" offers, or to "premium" or "personal number" or "shared cost" numbers in any country, which return money or credit or benefits to the holder of the number or to whoever uses it.

9.10 The CUSTOMER relieves WILDIX from any responsibility for any attacks and/or intrusions by third parties from the network through the equipment with which the service is provided. The CUSTOMER declares that he is aware that third parties can access systems via the Internet and can overcome the security of the systems to use them improperly and cause damage to third parties. In the event that WILDIX detects an intrusion attempt through the accesses and data it lawfully disposes of for the provision of the service, it may interrupt the service, without any obligation, until the CUSTOMER takes steps to implement the measures necessary to prevent the situation from persisting. The CUSTOMER shall hold harmless from any direct and/or indirect damage as well as the payment of any charge, expense, indemnity or any prejudice that may be suffered by WILDIX or the employees or collaborators of the parties or other subjects who use the services or even those who are only connected or occasioned by the execution of this contract by their employees and/or collaborators, consultants, their representatives as well as their substitutes, even on an extra-contractual basis.

ART. 10 - PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

ART. 11 - CONFIDENTIALITY OF TRANSITED INFORMATION AND MESSAGES 

11.1 Without prejudice to the provisions of the previous point, each party shall keep secret all information acquired in relation to the supply relationship. Each party takes every necessary precaution in order to safeguard the confidentiality and secrecy of such information and to prevent its disclosure to third parties, and will limit its communication only to employees and consultants who have an effective need to know it for the purposes referred to in this supply relationship in compliance with the need to know principle, undertaking not to disclose the information to third parties, not to make it public or accessible by any other means unless it is expressly permitted with written consent issued by the party making the disclosure or delivery of information; it being understood that each party will not be deemed in breach of the provisions of this article as a result of communications made in compliance with the provisions contained in any rule or regulation or order promulgated by public authorities having jurisdiction over it in relation to the execution of this Agreement and to the operations envisaged therein.

The CUSTOMER may request the publication of his personal data from the telephone directories in accordance with the relevant legislation and regulations.

11.3 The CUSTOMER appoints WILDIX responsible for the processing of the identification data of the telephone communications received by the user. WILDIX will keep such data for the time requested by the CUSTOMER. WILDIX will protect such data with the organizational and logical measures required by law.

Nevertheless, there may be situations that allow unauthorized third parties to learn the content of the same even unintentionally.

ART. 21 - HWaaS AGREEMENT 


WILDIX Unified Communications As A Service AGREEMENT

The use of SW and HW as a Service is a pillar of the future economy. End customers can enjoy a top-level experience in Unified Communications without owning assets while utilizing completely risk-free and always-updated business communications services.

Why are companies like yours are moving away from buying products to using products As A Service?

ROI and flexibility are factors, for sure, but everyone is missing the main point that is moving everything in this direction.

Theodore Levitt (1925-2006) was an American economist and a professor at Harvard Business School, and he is famous for this quote: 

People don't want to buy a quarter-inch drill, they want a quarter-inch hole.”

Levitt said this in the ‘60s, and it took 50 years for us to really understand it. There is one obvious fact about this quote and one not-so-obvious consequence:

  1. The customer is buying a hole 
  2. The vendor is not selling a hole — for 50 years they kept selling a drill

With the service economy, what you are buying (the hole) is what the vendor is selling (the hole, not the drill). 

For the first time, you have a real alignment between yourself and your provider. Your interest in the communications system is that it allows you to increase revenue and/or decrease costs. Every month you can evaluate its effectiveness, so it becomes in our primary interest that you renew the service every month.  

 Why should you use WILDIX UCC Hardware as a Service?

That’s easy: 

  • You can use it in an unlimited capacity at a fixed price
  • You will get the newest equipment with no additional costs
  • Wildix quality assurance covers broken products
  • Wildix quality assurance covers you with a fire & theft policy
  • You have no responsibilities other than to use the equipment in the right environment
  • You can enjoy this cutting-edge technology in the most convenient way possible 

Join the Hardware as a Service program and focus only on your business results; we will be at your side to ensure you reach them.

In case of theft, fire, or other events that make it impossible to read the original Equipment label information, the same is replaced by the report to the police authority that includes the events that occurred in the destruction or theft of the equipment and the serial numbers. The new product will be shipped within one working day, the defective product will be picked up by the Lessor, transport expenses will be invoiced to the Lessee at cost. 

21.18 The Lessee is NOT responsible for: 

  • Any damage to the Equipment, including that which is inflicted voluntarily or through negligence by operating personnel. 
  • Loss of the Equipment as a consequence of theft or fire, resulting in a complete loss of the Equipment and its label. (To get a replacement product, a copy of the report including product model and serial number filed to the police must be provided.)  

21.19 The Lessee is responsible for: 

  • The complete loss of the Equipment that is not the consequence of fire or theft.
  • Damage to the products caused by use in an environment they are not designed for. For example, the use of W-AIR Basic and W-AIR Office handsets is different from the use of the W-AIR LifeSaver in production environments with regard to the risk of water spills, dust, and falls.

Insurance

21.25 The insurance coverage is provided by the Lessor. The only event that is not covered is the complete loss of the Equipment.
