ATTACHMENT NUMBER 1 TO THE
FOURTH AMENDMENT TO
COMMON SHORT CODE LICENSE AGREEMENT
CSC 2.04 FUNCTIONALITY
Overview of Features
Registry shall develop the following features by no later than thirty (30) days
following the Amendment Effective Date. The date such features are made
available to the public shall be mutually agreed by the Parties.
     A. CSC Optional Directory
Registry shall develop a directory of CSCs that shall be viewable by the general
public containing information derived from the CSC Application Form (“CSC
Directory”). In order to implement the CSC Directory, the following changes must
be made to the CSC Application Form as defined in the Assignment Guidelines:

  §
  Registry shall add a new section to the CSC Application that provides a high
level description of the opt-in directory and “value proposition” to the
applicant/content provider. The new section shall also reference via a hotlink
the new Registrant Sublicense Agreement which shall contain additional terms and
conditions with regards to the CSC Directory Service. A copy of the Registrant
Sublicense Agreement is attached as Attachment 3 to the Fourth Amendment.     §
  The Application Form shall also provide an Opt-in check-box for applicants to
opt-in to this directory. Only applicants that opt-in shall be eligible to
participate in the CSC Directory.     §   Link to additional information and a
longer explanation of the opt-in directory program

By opting into the CSC Directory, an applicant/Registrant shall consent to the
posting of the following elements contained within its Application Form:

  -   CSC     -   Call to Action (eg. Text GQ to 47624)     -   Aggregator     -
  Application Provider     -   Description

The Registrant shall have the right to edit, modify or delete any of its content
displayed within the CSC Directory upon request to the Registry. The Registrant
shall also have the right to opt-out or remove any of its content within the CSC
Directory.
As stated in the Registrant Sublicense Agreement, Registry shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to modify, edit or remove any CSC Directory entry. In
addition, Registry shall have the right to refuse the display of any campaign
which it deems in its sole discretion is (i) inappropriate, (ii) too lengthy, or
(iii) would not be in the best interests of the CSC Directory.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     B. Random CSC Selection Restrictions
Pursuant to the detailed requirements below, Registry shall implement methods
and procedures to reduce the number or CSCs that may be assigned on a random
basis, and to ensure that “premium CSCs” are only to be assigned on a selected
basis.
1. “Premium CSCs” are defined as:
     (i) any 5 digit CSC that meets any of the following conditions:

  •   The CSC contains 4 or more sequential numbers anywhere in the string
(i.e., 81234).     •   The CSC contains 2 repeating pairs anywhere in the string
(i.e., 53753).     •   The CSC contains 3 or more of the same digit in a row
anywhere in the string (i.e. 32000).

     (ii) any 6 digit CSC that meets any of the following conditions:

  •   The CSC contains 4 or more sequential numbers anywhere in the string
(i.e., 812347).     •   The CSC contains 2 or more repeating pairs anywhere in
the string (i.e., 537531).     •   The CSC contains 2 repeating triples in the
string (i.e., 254254).     •   The CSC contains 4 or more of the same digit in a
row anywhere in the string (i.e. 300006).

For the purposes of the above, when determining sequential numbers, the number 0
shall be considered sequential to 1 not 9. For example, the CSCs 50123 and
501236 will be considered desirable and therefore restricted from random
assignment while the codes 57890 and 578906 will not be restricted from random
assignment.
Nothing herein shall prevent the renewal of CSCs that are currently being leased
as random CSCs; provided however, that in the event the CSC is deleted (and not
restored), the CSC shall be removed from the pool of available random CSCs. In
addition, the above rules shall not prevent any of these codes from becoming a
Reserved CSC in the event that a Participating Carrier decides to reserve such
CSC.
     C. New Search Logic
Registry shall enable the public side website to display the search results
based on the additional criteria set forth below.

  1.   Registry shall implement functionality to allow the end user to search
which CSCs are available for registration, including those CSCs that have been
restricted from the pool of available Random CSCs.     2.   Registry shall allow
the following searches:

  i.   Easy to Remember Codes. These are CSCs that contain:

  o   For 5 digit CSCs:

  §   4 or more sequential numbers anywhere in the string (i.e., 81234)     §  
5 reverse sequential numbers anywhere in the string     §   2 repeating
consecutive pairs anywhere in the string (i.e., 53537).

Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)
March 21, 2007
Page 4 of 28

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

  §   3 or more of the same digit in a row at the beginning or end of the string
(i.e. 77775 or 57777).

  o   For 6 digit CSCs:

  §   6 sequential numbers.     §   6 reverse sequential numbers.

  o   2 or more repeating pairs if the pair appears 3 times (i.e., 535353)

  §   2 triples in the string where there are 2 sets of sequential or
nonsequtial repeating numbers (i.e., 444666 or 234234)     §   5 or 6
consecutive occurrences of the same number (i.e., 555556 or 555555)

  3.   All search results shall be displayed similarly to the current search
results displayed to an applicant requesting to purchase a CSC directly from the
search results page upon user login.

on credit/debit card payments, and payment to Registry is refused by the
applicable financial institutions, Registry shall have the right to immediately
terminate Registrant from this program. Upon such termination, payments of all
amounts owed to Registry shall be accelerated and become immediately due and
payable to Registry.

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO
COMMON SHORT CODE LICENSE AGREEMENT

THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN NEUSTAR, INC., THE COMMON SHORT CODE
(“CSC”) REGISTRY OPERATOR (“REGISTRY”), AND “YOU,” THE APPLICANT FOR A LICENSE
TO USE CSC(S) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT

1. The Service. Registry administers a method for assignment of CSCs. CSCs are a
string of numeric characters that are interoperable across communication service
providers in the United States that are participating in CSC services
(“Participating Carriers”). The Participating Carriers and other participating
members of the wireless telecommunications industry have appointed the CTIA —
The Wireless Association® (formerly Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association) (“CTIA”) to serve as their Common Short Code Administrator and
CTIA, acting in that capacity, has granted Registry a license to assign CSCs in
the manner described in this Agreement. Registry makes this Service available to
those seeking to sublicense for the term selected, a CSC. CSCs are intended for
use only in the United States. You may review frequently asked questions
regarding the Service by reviewing the CSC FAOs.

by logging into Your account . You are solely responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of Your login name and password. You must immediately notify
Registry of any unauthorized use of Your login name and You are responsible for
any unauthorized activities, charges and/or liabilities made on or through Your

lend login names to any other third party.

PRIVACY STATEMENT OF THE CSCA AND GENERALLY DESCRIBE THE COLLECTION AND USE OF
PERSONAL INFORMATION, DO NOT APPLY TO INFORMATION SUBMITTED TO REGISTRY UNDER

a way incompatible with the purposes of this Agreement. You represent and
warrant that You have provided notice to, and obtained consent from, any third
party individuals whose data You supply to us as part of the Service with regard
to: (i) the purposes for which such third party’s data has been collected,
(ii) the intended recipients or categories of recipients of the third party’s
data, (iii) which parts of the third party’s data are obligatory and which
parts, if any, are voluntary; and (iv) how the third party can access and, if
necessary, rectify the data held about them. You further agree to provide such
notice and obtain such consent with regard to any third party data You provide
in the future. Neither Registry nor CTIA are responsible for any consequences

outdated, incomplete or inaccurate information. In addition to the above, in the
event that You elect to participate in the optional CSC directory service
offered by Registry, You hereby consent to the publication of such information
on a directory that may be viewable by members of the general public.
4. Disclosure of Certain Information. In order for Registry to comply with the
rules and policies for the administration of CSCs (which may be updated from
time to time), You consent to the disclosure by Registry to CTIA or to
Participating Carriers, or those acting on behalf of CTIA or Participating
Carriers through an interactive accessible registration database or otherwise,

fields and Data that will be publicly disclosed or made available through the
Registry’s website or otherwise. You further consent to the disclosure of any
Data or other information to any governmental agency upon receipt of lawful
process or in compliance with any law, or to protect the rights or property of
Registry, CTIA, Participating Carriers, or any of their customers or users.
Further, in the event that You agree to participate in the optional CSC
directory service, and indicate such acceptance in your CSC application or
otherwise, You hereby consent to the publication of such required data in the
CSC directory. You acknowledge and agree that such data may be viewable by
members of the general public.
5. The Application.
a. CSC. In order to apply for a CSC through the Service, You must complete the
Registry’s application form for each CSC that You would like to register and pay
the requisite fees set forth in Section 8 below. For each application, the
person/entity listed in the “Content Provider details” must be the actual
Content Provider (as defined above). Once You have submitted a completed
application, Registry will send an email confirming it has received Your
application. You must retain the confirmation e-mail for each application You
submit. You also may review detailed instructions to complete and submit an
application by reviewing Registry’s INSTRUCTIONS . You agree to: (1) provide
certain true, current, complete and accurate information during the application
process; and (2) maintain and update such information according to Registry’s
modification procedures as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate.
b. Types of CSCs. All applications for CSCs are accepted by Registry on a
first-come, first-served basis. Unless You specify a specific CSC in Your
application, once Your application is deemed to be complete by the Registry, You
will be assigned a CSC on a random basis from the pool of available CSCs (a
“Random CSC”). A “Selected CSC” shall mean any CSC that You specifically request
from Registry. Selected CSCs shall also be assigned on a first-come,
first-served basis from the pool of available CSCs. Registry makes no
representation that any specific CSC will be available upon request. You
acknowledge and agree that submission of a CSC application or otherwise meeting
the eligibility requirements for registration does not guarantee that Your
application will be approved, that You will ultimately be the sublicensee of a
particular CSC, or that any Participating Carrier will accept, implement or
maintain a sublicensed CSC.
c. Right of Refusal. Registry reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
refuse to register any Random or Selected CSC. YOU AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL
REGISTRATION FEES PAID TO REGISTRY SHALL NOT BE REFUNDABLE. You agree that
neither Registry nor CTIA shall be liable for any losses or damages that may
result from a refusal to register any CSC. You acknowledge and agree that
neither Registry nor CTIA shall be liable to You or any other party in
connection with claims, damages, losses, expenses or costs incurred or suffered
by You as a result of actions taken or not taken by Participating Carriers.
d. Term of CSCs. All CSCs, whether Selected or Random, shall be available for
terms of three (3),

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

six (6) and twelve (12) months and may be renewed by You for additional three
(3), six (6) and twelve (12) month periods.
e. Activating Your CSC. REGISTERING A CSC IN NO WAY GUARANTEES YOU THE RIGHT TO
SEND OR RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS USING YOUR CSC OR THE RIGHT TO USE THE CSC IN ANY
OTHER MANNER. IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE YOUR CSC, YOU MUST OBTAIN APPROVAL FROM EACH
INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATING CARRIER IN WHICH YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRANSMIT CONTENT.
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ALL SUCH ARRANGEMENTS WITH INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATING
CARRIERS ARE AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THAT PARTICIPATING CARRIER AND SHALL NOT
IN ANY WAY INVOLVE REGISTRY. IN ADDITION, INITIAL APPROVAL OF REGISTRATION OF A
CSC IN NO WAY GUARANTEES THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RETAIN SUCH CSC PAST THE
CURRENT TERM OF YOUR REGISTRATION.
f. Expiration Grace Period. In the event that Your CSC expires, and has not been
renewed in accordance with this Agreement, You may be given an additional thirty
(30) day grace period, at the sole discretion of the Registry, in which to
re-register such CSC. In the event you do not re register such CSC within that
period, this Agreement shall be terminated, and the CSC may be made available to
the general public after an appropriate aging period.
g. Opt-in/Opt-Out of CSC Programs. In addition to the prohibitions of the
transmission of unsolicited messages elsewhere in this Agreement, each
individual program or application administered to an end user through a CSC must
be offered on an “opt-in basis,” This may be achieved through the submission of
an MO message to the program or registering to receive messages through a
website operated by the Registrant. In addition, each Registrant must also offer
a convenient, easy-to-use and conspicuous method for an end user to opt-out any
individual program or application administered through a CSC.
h. No Assignment or Transfer of the CSC. You may not transfer or assign Your
sublicense to any CSC or any of Your rights or obligations under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, You may assign Your sublicense to a CSC in
connection with the sale of all or substantially all of Your assets to a third
party successor in interest.
i. Representations. You agree that You may access and use the Service for lawful
purposes only and that You are solely responsible for the knowledge and
adherence to this Agreement, any and all laws, statutes, rules and regulations
pertaining to Your use of the Service and a CSC, including without limitation
laws related to intellectual property, defamation, publicity and privacy. You
represent that (i) You intend to use and will use each sublicensed CSC for the
purpose set forth in Your application and not for the purpose of blocking
another party from using a CSC, (ii) neither Your registration nor use of the
any sublicensed CSC nor the manner in which You intend to use such CSC will
directly or indirectly infringe or violate the legal rights of a third party,
and (iii) You have all requisite power and due authority to execute this
Agreement and to perform Your obligations hereunder. You agree that You will not
(i) use a CSC in violation of this Agreement; (ii) use a CSC to commit a
criminal offense or to encourage conduct that would constitute a criminal
offense or give rise to a civil liability, or otherwise violate any local,
state, Federal or international law or regulation; (iii) use a CSC to upload or
otherwise transmit any content that you do not have a right to transmit under
any law or contractual or fiduciary duty; (iv) interfere or infringe with any
trademark or proprietary rights of any other party; (v) interfere with the
ability of other users to access or use the Service; (vi) claim a relationship
with or to speak for any individual, business, association, institution or other
organization for which You are not authorized to claim such a relationship;
(vii) interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers or networks connected to
the Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of
networks connected to the Service; or (viii) reproduce, duplicate, copy, use,
distribute, sell, resell or otherwise exploit for

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

any commercial purposes any portion of the Service.
j. BY REGISTERING A CSC, YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR USE OF SUCH CSC IS AND
SHALL REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ABOVE. AS SUCH, YOUR CSC MAY BE SUBJECT TO
FUTURE CANCELLATION, DELETION AND/OR REMOVAL IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR USE OF THE
CSC IS DETERMINED TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
k. CSC Opt-in Directory. Registry may elect to offer a CSC directory that
provides members of the general public with certain information about Your CSC
and any programs or campaigns offered through the CSC. Participation in the CSC
directory service is optional. You shall have the right to edit, modify or
delete any of Your content displayed within the CSC Directory upon request to
the Registry. You shall also have the right to opt-out or remove any of Your
content within the CSC Directory. You understand that You, and not Registry, are
entirely responsible for all content contained within the CSC directory.
Registry does not control the content posted via the CSC directory and, as such,
does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such information. Under
no circumstances shall Registry be liable in any way for any content, including,
but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or
damage or any kind incurred as a result of the use of any content posted in the
CSC directory. You acknowledge that Registry may or may not pre-screen content
contained within the CSC directory, but that Registry and its designees shall
have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen,
refuse, edit or move any such content that is available through the CSC
directory service. Without limiting the foregoing, Registry shall have the right
to remove or edit any content that violates this Agreement. With respect to any
content you submit or make available for inclusion in the CSC directory, You
provide Registry with a worldwide, royalty-free and non-exclusive license to
use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt and publicly display such content in
the CSC directory during the term of Your participating in the CSC directory
service.
6. Registry Reservation. Registry reserves the right, but does not assume the
obligation, to strictly enforce this Agreement by, without limitation, issuing
warnings, suspending or terminating Service prior to actively investigating
violations and prosecuting them in any court or appropriate venue. Registry may
access, use and disclose transaction information about Your use of the Service,
to the extent permitted by law, in order to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful
subpoena); to enforce or apply this Agreement; to initiate, render, bill, and
collect for the Services; to protect its rights or property; or to protect users
of the Services from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of, the Service.
INDIRECT OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS OF THIS POLICY OR ANY RELATED POLICY, GUIDELINE
OR AGREEMENT, AND ACTUAL OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS BY A THIRD PARTY ON YOUR BEHALF
SHALL BE CONSIDERED VIOLATIONS OF THIS POLICY BY YOU. In addition, Registry
reserves the right to deny, cancel, transfer or otherwise make unavailable any
CSC that it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, (1) to protect the
integrity and stability of the Service; (2) to comply with any applicable laws,
government rules, policies or requirements, requests of law enforcement, in
compliance with any dispute resolution process; (3) to avoid any liability,
civil or criminal, on the part of Registry, as well as its affiliates,
subsidiaries, officers, directors, representatives, employees, and stockholders;
(4) for violations of any agreement between Registry and any third party related
to the Service; (5) to correct mistakes made by Registry, in connection with a
CSC registration.
7. Fees. As consideration for the Service, You agree to pay Registry a
non-refundable fee of $1000 per month for each “Selected CSC” and $500 per month
for each “Random CSC,” Such fees are subject to change at any time by Registry,
in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the fees in effect at the time
of submission of Your application for a CSC, or at the time of renewal of Your
CSC registration, will remain in effect with respect to such CSC registration
for the period of such initial term or renewal term, as applicable. All fees for
the entirety of the term shall be due and
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)
March 21, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

payable before assignment or renewal of the CSC. Registry may take all remedies
to collect fees owed. In the event that You dispute any fee, or take any action
to initiate a credit card chargeback for any of the fees described above, such
action may result in Your sublicense of a CSC being suspended until such time as
the dispute is resolved, at which time, depending on the outcome of the dispute,
the sublicense of the CSC may be reinstated or cancelled, whichever applicable.
In addition to the foregoing fees, You are responsible for all taxes associated
with such fees.
8. Ownership. You acknowledge that all right, title and interest in and to the
database of CSCs, each of the CSCs themselves, the underlying technology used in
connection with the Service, the CSC directory, and all software, material,
information, communications, text, graphics, links, electronic art, animations,
audio, video, photos, and other data (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”)
available within the Service are the exclusive property of either the Registry
or, in some instances, of licensors and/or third-party providers from whom
Registry has obtained a license to use their Intellectual Property. You
acknowledge that although you have a sublicense to use CSCs for the duration of
the term, you have no proprietary ownership interest in the CSCs. You agree that
You will not take any action that would cause You to acquire any trademark,
trade name or trade dress rights in the CSC. You acknowledge and agree that the
registration of a CSC does not confer immunity from objection to either the
registration or use of the CSC by a third party. Neither Registry, nor CTIA, nor
any Participating Carrier is responsible in any way for any conflict or dispute
with or any actual or threatened claim against You relating to a CSC, including
without limitation a claim that any use of a CSC interferes with or infringes a
registered or unregistered trademark, trade name, service mark or rights
relating to a name or other identifying indicium of a third party or any other
intellectual property rights or proprietary rights (including without limitation
rights of publicity) of a third party or relating to the defamation or
interference with the right of privacy of any third party. Except as expressly
authorized by Registry or as may be posted on the Service, You may not copy,
reproduce, publish, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, rent, lease,
sell, transfer, display, transmit, compile or collect in a database, or in any
manner commercially exploit any part of the Intellectual Property or the
Service, in whole or in part. You may not store any significant portion of any
Intellectual Property or the Service owned by, or licensed to Registry in any
form, whether archival files, computer-readable files, or any other medium. You
also may not “mirror” any Intellectual Property or the Service on any other
server.
9. Links. Some links on Registry’s Web site lead to sites posted by independent
site owners. Because Registry does not have control over these sites, it is not
responsible for such sites’ accessibility via the Internet. Registry does not
endorse products, services, or information provided by such sites. As such,
Registry shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any
damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with, use or
reliance on any content, goods or services available on or through any other
site. Further, the inclusion of these links does not imply that the other sites

Commonwealth of Virginia, without reference to the Convention on Contracts for
the International Sale of Goods. Except as precluded by the United Nations
Convention on the Recognition and Enforcements of Foreign Arbitral Awards, the
internal procedural and substantive laws of Virginia and the United States
Federal Arbitration Act shall govern all questions of arbitral procedure,
arbitral review, scope of arbitral authority, and arbitral enforcement. The
parties agree that the award of the arbitrators shall be the sole and exclusive
remedy between them regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings
presented or pled to the arbitrators, that the award shall be made and shall be
promptly payable in U.S. dollars, free of any tax, deduction or offset, and that
any costs, fees or taxes instant to enforcing the award shall, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, be charged against the party resisting such
enforcement. No claim may be submitted by a party to arbitration in accordance
with this Section 17 unless notified by the other party within one (1) year of
the date on which the submitting party first knew or should have known of the
existence of the facts indicating the existence of such dispute.

it hold the other party responsible for, any cessation, interruption or delay in

storm, natural disaster, act of God, war, terrorism, armed conflict, labor
strike, lockout, or boycott, provided that the party relying upon this section
(i) shall have given the other party written notice thereof promptly and, in any
event, within five (5) days of discovery thereof and (ii) shall take all steps
reasonably necessary under the circumstances to mitigate the effects of the
force majeure event upon which such notice is based; provided further, that in

in excess of thirty (30) days in the aggregate, Registry may immediately
terminate this Agreement.

Agreement at any time and from time to time. Any such revision or change will be
binding and effective upon sending notification to You by e-mail or United
States mail. If You do not agree with any revision to the Agreement, You may

1. The Service. Registry administers a method for assignment of CSCs. CSCs are a
string of numeric characters that are interoperable across communication service
providers in the United States that are participating in CSC services
(“Participating Carriers”). The Participating Carriers and other participating
members of the wireless telecommunications industry have appointed the CTIA —
The Wireless Association® (formerly Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association) (“CTIA”) to serve as their Common Short Code Administrator and
CTIA, acting in that capacity, has granted Registry a license to assign CSCs in
the manner described in this Agreement. Registry makes this Service available to
those seeking to sublicense for the term selected, a CSC. CSCs are intended for
use only in the United States. You may review frequently asked questions
regarding the Service by reviewing the CSC FAQs .
2. Registration, Password and Security. To use the Service and license a CSC, an
account will be created for You and Registry shall submit to you a login name
and initial password. You will be able to modify the password at any time. If
any information You provide is inaccurate, incomplete or not current, Registry
may suspend or terminate Your account and access to the Service. You may change
such information at any time by logging into Your account. You are solely
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Your login name and password.
You must immediately notify Registry of any unauthorized use of Your login name
and You are responsible for any unauthorized

activities, charges and/or liabilities made on or through Your login name until
Registry receives such notification. You may not transfer or lend login names to
any other third party.
3. Privacy. BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE
PRIVACY STATEMENT OF THE CSCA AND GENERALLY DESCRIBE THE COLLECTION AND USE OF
PERSONAL INFORMATION, DO NOT APPLY TO INFORMATION SUBMITTED TO REGISTRY UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT. In addition, Registry will not use the data submitted by You in
a way incompatible with the purposes of this Agreement. You represent and
warrant that You have provided notice to, and obtained consent from, any third
party individuals whose data You supply to us as part of the Service with regard
to: (i) the purposes for which such third party’s data has been collected,
(ii) the intended recipients or categories of recipients of the third party’s
data, (iii) which parts of the third party’s data are obligatory and which
parts, if any, are voluntary; and (iv) how the third party can access and, if
necessary, rectify the data held about them. You further agree to provide such
notice and obtain such consent with regard to any third party data You provide
in the future. Neither Registry nor CTIA are responsible for any consequences
resulting from Your failure to provide notice or receive consent from such
individuals nor for Your providing outdated, incomplete or inaccurate
information. In addition to the above, in the event that You elect to
participate in the optional CSC directory service offered by Registry, You
hereby consent to the publication of such information on a directory that may be
viewable by members of the general public.
4. Disclosure of Certain Information. In order for Registry to comply with the
rules and policies for the administration of CSCs (which may be updated from
time to time), You consent to the disclosure by Registry to CTIA or to
Participating Carriers, or those acting on behalf of CTIA or Participating
Carriers, through an interactive accessible registration database or otherwise,
the Data. In addition, You acknowledge that the Application identifies those
fields and Data that will be publicly disclosed or made available through the
Registry’s website or otherwise. You further consent to the disclosure of any
Data or other information to any governmental agency upon receipt of lawful
process or in compliance with any law, or to protect the rights or property of
Registry, CTIA, Participating Carriers, or any of their customers or users.
Further, in the event that You agree to participate in the optional CSC
directory service, and indicate such acceptance in your CSC application or
otherwise, You hereby consent to the publication of such required data in the
CSC directory. You acknowledge and agree that such data may be viewable by
members of the general public.
5. The Application.
a. CSC. In order to apply for a CSC through the Service, You must complete the
Registry’s application form, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, for each CSC that You
would like to register and pay the requisite fees set forth in Section 8 below.
For each application, the person/entity listed in the “Content Provider details”
must be the actual Content Provider (as defined above). Once You have submitted
a completed application, Registry will send an email confirming it has received
Your application. You must retain the confirmation e-mail for each application
You submit. You also may review detailed instructions to complete and submit an
application by reviewing Registry’s INSTRUCTIONS. You agree to: (1) provide
certain true, current, complete and accurate information during the application
process; and (2) maintain and update such information according to Registry’s
modification procedures as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate.
b. Types of CSCs. All applications for CSCs are accepted by Registry on a
first-come, first-served basis. Unless You specify a specific CSC in Your
application, once Your application is deemed to be complete by the Registry, You
will be assigned a CSC on a random basis from the pool of available
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)
March 21, 2007
Page 17 of 28

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

CSCs (a “Random CSC”). A “Selected CSC” shall mean any CSC that You specifically
request from Registry. Selected CSCs shall also be assigned on a first-come,
first-served basis from the pool of available CSCs. Registry makes no
representation that any specific CSC will be available upon request. You
acknowledge and agree that submission of a CSC application or otherwise meeting
the eligibility requirements for registration does not guarantee that Your
application will be approved, that You will ultimately be the sublicensee of a
particular CSC, or that any Participating Carrier will accept, implement or
maintain a sublicensed CSC.
c. Right of Refusal. Registry reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
refuse to register any Random or Selected CSC, YOU AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL
REGISTRATION FEES PAID TO REGISTRY SHALL NOT BE REFUNDABLE. You agree that
neither Registry nor CTIA shall be liable for any losses or damages that may
result from a refusal to register any CSC. You acknowledge and agree that
neither Registry nor CTIA shall be liable to You or any other party in
connection with claims, damages, losses, expenses or costs incurred or suffered
by You as a result of actions taken or not taken by Participating Carriers.
d. Term of CSCs. All CSCs, whether Selected or Random, shall be available for
terms of three (3), six (6) and twelve (12) months and may be renewed by You for
additional three (3), six (6) and twelve (12) month periods.
e. Activating Your CSC. REGISTERING A CSC IN NO WAY GUARANTEES YOU THE RIGHT TO
SEND OR RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS USING YOUR CSC OR THE RIGHT TO USE THE CSC IN ANY
OTHER MANNER. IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE YOUR CSC, YOU MUST OBTAIN APPROVAL FROM EACH
INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATING CARRIER IN WHICH YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRANSMIT CONTENT.
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ALL SUCH ARRANGEMENTS WITH INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATING
CARRIERS ARE AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THAT PARTICIPATING CARRIER AND SHALL NOT
IN ANY WAY INVOLVE REGISTRY. IN ADDITION, INITIAL APPROVAL OF REGISTRATION OF A
CSC IN NO WAY GUARANTEES THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RETAIN SUCH CSC PAST THE
CURRENT TERM OF YOUR REGISTRATION.
f. Expiration Grace Period. In the event that Your CSC expires, and has not been
renewed in accordance with this Agreement, You may be given an additional thirty
(30) day grace period, at the sole discretion of the Registry, in which to
re-register such CSC. In the event you do not re-register such CSC within that
period, this Agreement shall be terminated, and the CSC may be made available to
the general public after an appropriate aging period.
g. Opt-in/Opt-Out of CSC Programs. In addition to the prohibitions of the
transmission of unsolicited messages elsewhere in this Agreement, each
individual program or application administered to an end user through a CSC must
be offered on an “opt-in basis.” This may be achieved through the submission of
an MO message to the program or registering to receive messages through a
website operated by the Registrant. In addition, each Registrant must also offer
a convenient, easy-to-use and conspicuous method for an end user to opt-out any
individual program or application administered through a CSC.
h. No Assignment or Transfer of the CSC. You may not transfer or assign Your
sublicense to any CSC or any of Your rights or obligations under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, You may assign Your sublicense to a CSC in
connection with the sale of all or substantially all of Your assets to a third
party successor in interest.
i. Representations. You agree that You may access and use the Service for lawful
purposes only and that You are solely responsible for the knowledge and
adherence to this Agreement, any and all laws, statutes, rules and regulations
pertaining to Your use of the Service and a CSC, including
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

without limitation laws related to intellectual property, defamation, publicity
and privacy. You represent that (I) You intend to use and will use each
sublicensed CSC for the purpose set forth in Your application and not for the
purpose of blocking another party from using a CSC, (ii) neither Your
registration nor use of the any sublicensed CSC nor the manner in which You
intend to use such CSC will directly or indirectly infringe or violate the legal
rights of a third party, and (iii) You have all requisite power and due
authority to execute this Agreement and to perform Your obligations hereunder.
You agree that You will not (i) use a CSC in violation of this Agreement;
(ii) use a CSC to commit a criminal offense or to encourage conduct that would
constitute a criminal offense or give rise to a civil liability, or otherwise
violate any local, state, Federal or international law or regulation; (iii) use
a CSC to upload or otherwise transmit any content that You do not have a right
to transmit under any law or contractual or fiduciary duty; (iv) interfere or
infringe with any trademark or proprietary rights of any other party;
(v) interfere with the ability of other users to access or use the Service;
(vi) claim a relationship with or to speak for any individual, business,
association, institution or other organization for which You are not authorized
to claim such a relationship; (vii) interfere with or disrupt the Service or
servers or networks connected to the Service, or disobey any requirements,
procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to the Service; or
(viii) reproduce, duplicate, copy, use, distribute, sell, resell or otherwise
exploit for any commercial purposes any portion of the Service.
j. BY REGISTERING A CSC, YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR USE OF SUCH CSC IS AND
SHALL REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ABOVE, AS SUCH, YOUR CSC MAY BE SUBJECT TO
FUTURE CANCELLATION, DELETION AND/OR REMOVAL IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR USE OF THE
CSC IS DETERMINED TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
k. CSC Opt-in Directory. Registry may elect to offer a CSC directory, that
provides members of the general public with certain information about Your CSC
and any programs or campaigns offered through the CSC. Participation in the CSC
directory service is optional. You shall have the right to edit, modify or
delete any of Your content displayed within the CSC Directory upon request to
the Registry. You shall also have the right to opt-out or remove any of Your
content within the CSC Directory. You understand that You, and not Registry, are
entirely responsible for all content contained within the CSC directory.
Registry does not control the content posted via the CSC directory and, as such,
does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such information. Under
no circumstances shall Registry be liable in any way for any content, including,
but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or
damage or any kind incurred as a result of the use of any content posted in the
CSC directory. You acknowledge that Registry may or may not pre-screen content
contained within the CSC directory, but that Registry and its designees shall
have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen,
refuse, edit or move any such content that is available through the CSC
directory service. Without limiting the foregoing, Registry shall have the right
to remove or edit any content that violates this Agreement. With respect to any
content you submit or make available for inclusion in the CSC directory, You
provide Registry with a worldwide, royalty-free and non-exclusive license to
use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt and publicly display such content in
the CSC directory during the term of Your participating in the CSC directory
service.
6. Registry Reservation. Registry reserves the right, but does not assume the
obligation, to strictly enforce this Agreement by, without limitation, issuing
warnings, suspending or terminating Service prior to actively investigating
violations and prosecuting them in any court or appropriate venue. Registry may
access, use and disclose transaction information about Your use of the Service,
to the extent permitted by law, in order to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful
subpoena); to enforce or apply this Agreement; to initiate, render, bill, and
collect for the Services; to protect its rights or property; or to protect users
of the Services from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of, the Service.
INDIRECT OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS OF THIS POLICY OR ANY RELATED POLICY,
Fourth Amendment to Common Short Code License Agreement (final)
March 21, 2007
Page 19 of 28

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

GUIDELINE OR AGREEMENT, AND ACTUAL OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS BY A THIRD PARTY ON
YOUR BEHALF SHALL BE CONSIDERED VIOLATIONS OF THIS POLICY BY YOU. In addition,
Registry reserves the right to deny, cancel, transfer or otherwise make
unavailable any CSC that it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, (1) to
protect the integrity and stability of the Service; (2) to comply with any
applicable laws, government rules, policies or requirements, requests of law
enforcement, in compliance with any dispute resolution process; (3) to avoid any
liability, civil or criminal, on the part of Registry, as well as its
affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, representatives, employees, and
stockholders; (4) for violations of any agreement between Registry and any third
party related to the Service; (5) to correct mistakes made by Registry, in
connection with a CSC registration.
7. Fees. As consideration for the Service, You agree to pay Registry a
non-refundable fee of $1000 per month for each “Selected CSC” and $500 per month
for each “Random CSC.” Such fees are subject to change at any time by Registry,
in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the fees in effect at the time
of submission of Your application for a CSC, or at the time of renewal of Your
CSC registration, will remain in effect with respect to such CSC registration
for the period of such initial term or renewal term, as applicable. All fees for
the entirety of the term shall be due and payable before assignment or renewal
of the CSC. Registry may take all remedies to collect fees owed. In the event
that You dispute any fee, or take any action to initiate a credit card
chargeback for any of the fees described above, such action may result in Your
sublicense of a CSC being suspended until such time as the dispute is resolved,
at which time, depending on the outcome of the dispute, the sublicense of the
CSC may be reinstated or cancelled, whichever applicable. In addition to the
foregoing fees, You are responsible for all taxes associated with such fees.
8. Ownership. You acknowledge that all right, title and interest in and to the
database of CSCs, each of the CSCs themselves, the underlying technology used in
connection with the Service, the CSC directory, and all software, material,
information, communications, text, graphics, links, electronic art, animations,
audio, video, photos, and other data (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”)
available within the Service are the exclusive property of either the Registry
or, in some instances, of licensors and/or third-party providers from whom
Registry has obtained a license to use their Intellectual Property. You
acknowledge that although you have a sublicense to use CSCs for the duration of
the term, you have no proprietary ownership interest in the CSCs. You agree that
You will not take any action that would cause You to acquire any trademark,
trade name or trade dress rights in the CSC. You acknowledge and agree that the
registration of a CSC does not confer immunity from objection to either the
registration or use of the CSC by a third party. Neither Registry, nor CTIA, nor
any Participating Carrier is responsible in any way for any conflict or dispute
with or any actual or threatened claim against You relating to a CSC, including
