    3.3 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that messages of a advertising, marketing, and promotional nature will not be performed during the prohibited hours in the Territory.

4. Voice Services

  1. 4.1 The Voice Services under these Service Specific Terms comprise of the following: 

4.2 Audio Library is the repository on the Unifonic Console that allows the Customer to upload their Audio Files (defined below) in order to be then sent to the End User (“Audio Library”).

  1. Customers will be able to upload their audio file via MP3 upload or through text-to-Speech conversion (“Audio File”).
  2. Once the Customer has uploaded the Audio File, the Audio File will be submitted to the customer support team for approval and will then be available in the Audio Library as an approved audio file (“Approved Audio File”).
  3. For each separate Audio File the Customer must seek prior approval to the content of such Audio File, as submitted in accordance with clause 4.2(b) above, before any such Audio File is sent to the End User. 

 

4.3 Caller ID is a function allowing the Customer to provide the number of a calling party (“Caller ID”). These caller IDs are used to make or receive calls to the End User.

4.4 Unifonic offers as part of the Voice Services the following voice application programming interfaces. Application to person calls that includes: 

a. Audio ID: the Customer can include an Audio ID which corresponds to an Approved Audio File in the Audio Library. After an Audio ID API request is successfully accepted, an outgoing call is made to the required End User. The Approved Audio File is then played via the call.

    1. b. Text-to-Speech (“TTS”): TTS means the conversion of words into an Audio File. The Customer is able to provide a string of text within the Voice Services. Once the TTS text is approved by the customer support team the TTS will become an Approved Audio File. An outgoing call is then made to the End User and the corresponding Approved Audio File is played via the Connected call;
    2.  
    3. c. One-time Password (“OTP”): the Customer can include an OTP within the Voice Services. After an OTP request is successfully accepted, an outgoing call is made to the stated recipient(s) and the corresponding audio message is played via the call;
    4.  
    5. d. Outbound Interactive Voice Response (“IVR API”): The Customer can generate an outbound call which collects dual tone multi frequency (“DTMF”) responses from End Users via an IVR API. After an IVR API request is successfully accepted, an outgoing call is made to the required End User. An Accepted Audio File is commonly played via the call, and a DTMF response is expected from the End User; and 
    6.  

Inbound Interactive Voice Response (“IVR”): the Customer can receive an inbound call which collects DTMF responses from End Users. After an inbound call is received, Unifonic looks for a pre-determined inbound IVR call solution which is set-up by the Customer in the Voice Account on the Unifonic Console. If such solution can be found and successfully read, an Approved Audio File is commonly played via the call, and a DTMF response is expected from the recipient. Otherwise, the call is disconnected, (together the “Voice APIs”).


4.5 Voice Campaign: A Voice Campaign is an outbound dialling campaign (“Voice Campaign”) which allows the Customer to specify one or many End Users whom will receive the Voice Campaign. The following applications will be available for the Voice Campaign: 

  1. Audio Message: Send any pre-approved audio message found in the Audio Library;
  2. Call-to-Action: Send any Approved Audio File found in the Audio Library and expect a DTMF response from each End User;
  3. Campaign Scheduling: Schedule a Voice Campaign to take place at a later date and time; and 

Campaign Reports: Summary of Voice Campaign progress and detailed status of each End User Connected call. 


4.6 Number Masking: The Customer can pre-define a number masking session via the number masking API. After an API request is successfully accepted, the numbers attributed to the number masking will be available for twenty-four (24) hours, unless a number masking session is deleted via another API. The Customer will not be able to create multiple concurrent masking sessions for a given mobile number under the same caller ID.

4.7 SIP Redundancy: Upon activation of the Voice Services in the Unifonic Console, the Customer will get the ability to procure secondary Caller IDs on the Unifonic Console. These secondary Caller IDs will be automatically paired by default to each Voice Campaign that the Customer utilises. Every attempt to send a voice call (via an API or Voice Campaign) will include two Caller IDs, one primary Caller ID and the secondary Caller ID. If the voice gateway determines that the primary Caller ID cannot be reached, it will automatically reroute traffic via the secondary Caller ID to the secondary carrier. 

4.8 If any part of the Voice Services is deemed,  at any point in time, either in whole or in part, to be contrary to an Applicable Law, or in opposition to the orders or instructions of an Operator or any party who has regulatory authority over the Voice Services, Unifonic shall allow the Customer to allocate such Balance as may be available in the Voice Account to the other Voice Services or Unifonic shall, at the election of the Customer refund the Customer the Balance in the Voice Account. 

4.9 Caller Name: Upon activation of the Voice Services in the Unifonic Console, the Customer will get the ability to procure a caller name for the Caller IDs on the account, provided the technical prerequisites are met (“Caller Name”). The Caller Name is subject to certain regulatory approvals by the TDRA and the prevailing carrier/operator.  The aforementioned technical prerequisites revolve around the suitability of SIP connection which must be terminated from the carrier operator to the Customer premise before the interconnection with Unifonic Infrastructure.

4.10 Bring Your Own Connectivity: The Customer may interconnect Unifonic’s programmable Voice Services with their self-managed SIP network. By doing so, the customer will be able to use existing caller IDs of their own, manage their consumption, concurrency, and other related services with the carrier directly. A SIP interconnection and access control lists must be configured on the customer premise equipment (“CPE”) and Unifonic’s session border controller (“SB


4.11 C”) over the internet. 

4.12 Authenticate: is a two-factor authentication service via a one-time password (“OTP”). Verification occurs when an End User's token matches with Unifonic’s token. A token is the OTP code generated by Unifonic. A Customer will be able to verify the phone number of the End User through OTP service.
