Terms of Use
Welcome to TeleDirect Call Centers ("TeleDirect"). TeleDirect and its affiliates provide their services to you subject to the following Terms of Use. Before you may use TeleDirect's services, you must read and accept all of the following Terms of Use.
Privacy
TeleDirect is committed to the protection of our customers' privacy. For a complete description of how we collect and subsequently use our customers' personal information, including the security measures we have implemented to protect the data, please review our Privacy Policy.
Phone Numbers
TeleDirect pays all toll and monthly fees for the use of our toll free numbers and ring to numbers. After purchasing your package of customer service minutes you will select a phone number(s) to use in connection with your account. These phone numbers are and will remain the property of TeleDirect Communications Inc. All usage of these numbers is at the sole discretion of TeleDirect Communications Inc. TeleDirect will deduct minutes for unused phone numbers. You may cancel a campaign at anytime and avoid this deduction. 25 minutes will be deducted every 30 days for any phone number that has no usage. For example, if a phone number has 20 minutes of usage in 30 days, 5 minutes will be deducted from your balance of minutes.
Nonrefundable Service
The purchase of live customer service from TeleDirect Communications Inc. is non-refundable.
Seminar Edge - Fair Use
TeleDirect aims to provide a cost effective and easy to use product with Seminar Edge reservations. Each meeting includes a wait list based on 13% of the meeting size. The limit of 13% is to stop abuse by people who have used the wait list as a way to set up very small meetings and collect attendee information via the wait list. 20% of attendees to a seminar can be cancelled by our call center or from your office. Our call center will continue to cancel attendees if they call the call center after the 20% limit is reached to provide top shelf service to your potential customers. After reaching cancellations of 20% of total capacity of the seminar, the ability to cancel attendees inside your account will be disabled. This measure is to prevent repeated abuse from users who used the cancellation feature to receive free service and made the business unsustainable for TeleDirect. When you add a new meeting to an existing seminar the system will check for available capacity. Available capacity is defined as capacity bought, minus attendees scheduled, minus wait lists, minus cancellations over 10%. If there is no available capacity to add a new meeting you will have the option to purchase more. While this policy may seem complicated, Clients who are using the system as it was intended to be used will probably never notice any of these features.
Credit Card Charge Backs or Holds
The charge on your credit card statement will appear as Tele-Direct Communications. If you request a charge back of this payment from your credit card company your account will be immediately disabled and your phone number(s) will be released. To restore your account, you must have the credit card charge back or hold removed and TeleDirect will then apply a $25.00 processing fee. Once your account has been disabled and your phone number(s), there is no guarantee that you will be able to use the same phone number(s).
