Highlights of First Orion’s Information Security Policy areavailable at https://firstorion.com/first-orion-security-overview/.
First Orion Security Overview
Highlights of First Orion’s Security Policy v3.6
July 2025
1.0 Introduction, Scope & Applicability
This document provides a high-level overview of First Orion’s Security Policy and is intended as a vehicle for sharing information regarding our security posture and approach with partners, clients and prospects.
These policies apply to all First Orion employees, contractors, sub-contractors, vendors, and entities employed to perform work or process information on behalf of First Orion that have access to the corporate network of First Orion.
First Orion’s security program follows industry best practices and guidelines established by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publications. First Orion has also received ISO 27001:2022 certification for its Information Security Management System (ISMS).
2.0 Roles and Responsibilities
All employees and company officers must comply with the Security Policy and report any suspected policy violation.
Our Security Policy describes the roles and responsibilities of the Chief Security Officer, the Chief Privacy Officer, the Chief Legal Officer, the Chief Marketing Officer, the Chief Human Resources Officer, the Chief Technology Officer, and the Chief Information Officer.
3.0 Security and Privacy
Security and privacy are at the core of First Orion’s business, products, and solutions. When developing applications and solutions, First Orion employees, contractors, and vendors must take necessary steps to include security and privacy considerations from inception. This includes techniques to minimize attack surface area, employ appropriate defaults, apply principles of least privilege, defense in depth and design our systems to fail securely.
Our Privacy by Design approach addresses global standards for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information while complying with all legal requirements and best practices related to transparency and choice, access and control, and data minimization. This approach also complies with any applicable trans-border data flow obligations.
First Orion’s product managers, supported by the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Security Officer, perform Project Risk Impact Assessments (PRIAs). These assessments include impact assessments for privacy (a.k.a. Privacy Impact Assessments or PIAs and Data Protection Impact Assessments or DPIAs), and Security Impact Assessments or SIAs any time there is a product release, change to the product, or change in the law that results in changes to how the product collects, uses, or transfers personal information.
4.0 Cloud Services Management and Computing
Due diligence should be conducted prior to acquisition of cloud services through the vendor PRIA (Project Risk Impact Assessment) process to ensure appropriate security and privacy risks are identified, considered and addressed.
First Orion inherits the security controls pertaining to its cloud providers’ physical, environmental, media protection, and business continuity when operating inside those cloud environments. However, security and compliance are a shared responsibility and can only be achieved when First Orion also takes measures to secure its deployments in cloud-based environments.
Information regarding cloud-based security and compliance can be found in their respective Security and Compliance centers online.
First Orion employees are prohibited from using third-party software as a service, social networks, cloud services or other web applications for official First Orion business, unless authorized to do so.
5.0 Secure Email Communication
First Orion email accounts should be used primarily for First Orion business related purposes. All First Orion data contained within an email message or an attachment must be secured according to the data classifications in the Data Management Policy.
First Orion monitors all messages and utilizes methods to detect phishing, fraud, or malware on the incoming or outgoing messages. However, employees and vendors are still required to screen email and be able, through security awareness training, to discern legitimate communication from potentially hazardous communication.
6.0 Encryption and Hashing
First Orion has designated acceptable hashing algorithms for storing passwords in accordance with the Security Policy.
Acceptable protocols and encryption algorithms are also defined for client to site VPN connectivity, site to site VPN connectivity, and wireless network connectivity.
Data transport is performed using acceptable transport layer security protocols and cypher suites.
7.0 Asset Management
First Orion defines an information asset as any application, system, device, or other component of its environment that supports business critical activities. Information assets include, but are not limited to, data, software, physical and virtual assets that should be protected to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of key information.
An inventory of information assets will be maintained by First Orion with identified owners responsible for classification, security, and proper handling of assets. Classification of assets should be based on criticality. Data stored by the asset should be classified as defined by First Orion’s Data Management Policy.
Prior to disposal and destruction, information assets will first be sanitized, purged, or destroyed according to NIST guidelines.
8.0 Standard Configuration Management, Hardening, and Data Loss & Leak Prevention (DLP)
Configuration of production systems should be managed to include applicable security configurations and baselines.
System or configuration hardening occurs prior to deployment of new systems, applications, or processes, as well as periodically reviewing common system hardening templates.
First Orion may monitor the network, systems, applications, or processes for proper use of data in any state – in motion, at rest, or in use, in accordance with the Security Policy and Data Management Policy.
No computer, digital media storage device, or technology equipment may be repurposed or sold, without going through disposal or digital sanitization processes, which may include physical destruction.
Email, file transfers and portable storage devices will be monitored for data leakage. Steps to prevent data leakage or loss, such as encryption and email quarantining, will be taken.
9.0 Change Management
First Orion maintains a change management policy and process to ensure that security related releases, updates, and patches are installed on all applicable systems in a reasonable time to minimize exposure to known risk factors.
10.0 Vulnerability Management
Vulnerability Management is intended to allow First Orion to (a) identify computer system security weaknesses; (b) prioritize assets; (c) assess, report, and remediate the weaknesses; and (d) verify that they have been eliminated.
First Orion will perform periodic vulnerability assessments of production systems.
First Orion will conduct application penetration testing of all new applications prior to release into production and any applications that under-go major revisions.
First Orion will also conduct static code scanning of all new applications, code, or code changes. Static code vulnerability findings will be resolved prior to application or code release.
Source code shall be treated and classified as proprietary and its use shall be governed according to data classification policy, unless said code has been specifically classified otherwise. The Chief Technology Officer shall maintain coding standards utilized by First Orion. All employees or vendors working on source code must abide by these coding standards.
11.0 Logging and Audit Trails
First Orion maintains an audit trail on all network, security and other electronic devices, servers, and applications where technically feasible or required by law or policy. Audit and security logs are confidential business records and are treated as such. Whenever technically feasible, logs are to be encrypted or hashed at rest and in transit
12.0 Identity, Password, and Access Management
First Orion networks require users to authenticate themselves prior to allowing access using multi factor authentication. All information processing systems and networks that employ passwords are enabled to adhere to a set of minimum controls that include processes for changing the password, enforcing password standards and change requirements. All systems and applications track login and audit information.
13.0 Network & Data Security
Limited Access to Network Services
In deploying the principles of least privilege, First Orion allows only authorized access for users (or processes acting on behalf of users) which are necessary to accomplish assigned tasks. Practices are implemented that establish effective authentication processes applicable to First Orion’s private networks. Furthermore, no mechanisms or facilities may be implemented or utilized that bypass established First Orion network access facilities.
Wireless Network Security
Employees may connect to First Orion wireless networks at work and/or public or private access-points to conduct official business. Any communication data transmitted (web, email, voice, or messaging) is to be encrypted during transport regardless of wireless network encryption protocol or wireless network location.
First Orion designs and operates employee and guest wireless networks in accordance with our wireless network standards.
Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) and Internet of Things (IoT)
Personal computer, mobile, BYOD or IoT devices not owned and managed by First Orion are not allowed on First Orion corporate network. Employee-owned personal devices, such as mobile cellphones, tablets or laptop computers are allowed on the First Orion guest wireless network but must run manufacturer supported and actively patched operating systems.
14.0 Anti-Malware Protection
All employees, service providers, vendors, and subcontractors are required to have anti-malware protection on their computing devices of sufficient functional effectiveness and currency to provide protection to First Orion.
15.0 Physical Security
First Orion employees are responsible for the safety of the electronic equipment assigned to them. Workstations, laptops, tablets, and phones are secured according to the Security Policy. Certain designated software or hardware is not allowed on the First Orion network, workstations, servers, or mobile devices.
Employees must ensure that any Restricted or Confidential information in hardcopy or electronic form is secure in their work area and is locked up when the workspace is unoccupied.
Printouts containing information classified other than Public should be immediately removed from the printer. All documents destined for disposal should be placed in the locked confidential disposal bins. Whiteboards containing Restricted and/or Sensitive information should be erased.
Doors that require badged access shall not be kept open at any time. Employees must badge in at any time they cross through a controlled access point. Badge surfing or trailing behind authorized employees who badged through a door is not allowed.
All non-First Orion employees accessing First Orion property shall be considered visitors. The First Orion employee hosting the visitor shall notify reception/front desk when a visitor is scheduled to be at a First Orion site. All visitors must register with reception. Visitors must provide a valid, non-expired, government issued identification, such as driver’s license or passport. Visitors will be escorted at all times while remaining within First Orion facilities, excluding designated restrooms and areas designated for visitors.
16.0 Backup & Disaster Recovery
First Orion solutions shall be documented, and the documentation, configuration files, and programs required for the solution must be backed up to allow for disaster recovery or rapid redeployment. Documentation and deployment plans are updated annually or at any time a new version of deployment is released.
Whenever possible, hosted systems or applications shall be distributed across multiple availability zones and/or regions to allow continuous business processing without a centralized point of failure. Systems or applications that are not distributed across multiple regions or availability zones or are incapable of fault tolerance (example: losing a region or processing center) shall have a documented business continuity plan, and an assigned team performing annual business continuity testing.
In the event of a disaster, the applicable emergency response team will restore services and coordinate communication with the affected stakeholders.
17.0 Incident Management & Response
First Orion maintains various incident response teams. These teams consist of First Orion employees, vendors, and contractors tasked with investigating, containing, and managing incidents.
The Chief Security Officer is responsible for coordinating the investigation and leading the Incident Response Team, notifying, and keeping executive leadership apprised of the status of the incident, and notifying, as required by law, the appropriate authorities.
The Chief Security Officer, in conjunction with the Chief Privacy Officer, the Chief Legal Officer, and public relations team will coordinate disclosure and make necessary announcements.
18.0 Vendor Selection and Management
All vendors, contractors, subcontractors, entities, companies, or individuals hired to process data, do work on behalf of First Orion, or access First Orion’s data, network or facilities are subject to screening – which may exceed screening usually performed on First Orion’s own new hires.
Vendor review and selection will be based on the risk impact assessment process. This process must be completed and approved prior to deployment of a vendor solution, including the use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools.
Vendors, contractors, and subcontractors must comply with First Orion’s Security Policy and maintain their own security policy that matches or exceeds First Orion’s Security Policy relative to the work performed.
19.0 Security Awareness, Training & Communication
The Chief Security Officer will conduct annual security and compliance awareness training in coordination with human resources. Employees are required to review and acknowledge they have read the latest security policy and security standards at the time of hire, and yearly thereafter for the duration of their employment.
The Chief Security Officer and/or executive management will communicate the Security Policy and any policy changes to employees and applicable contractors as needed to support the ISMS program. External communication with customers or vendors for necessary security policy changes will also be the responsibility of the CISO through Security Policy Highlights.
20.0 Compliance and Exceptions
Failure to comply with the Security Policy and associated policies, standards, guidelines, and procedures may result in disciplinary actions up to and including termination of employment or contracts.

First Orion shall have no obligation to monitor or supervise the activities of any Agent and may rely on the authority of any Agent reasonably believed to be acting on behalf of the Customer.
- If an Order provides that Customer may use the Services as a business process outsourcer acting on behalf of its enterprise customers, then Customer represents and warrants that (i) it has obtained the right, title, and interest from each enterprise customers to act on its behalf in connection with the Services and (ii) Customer has a valid and binding written agreement in place with each enterprise customer that provides such right, title, and interest to Customer and requires that each enterprise customer comply with all applicable provisions of these Terms. Customer further understands and agrees that each enterprise customer is subject to any vetting and approval requirements for the provision of the Services.
5. Ownership and Reservation of Rights
As between the parties, First Orion owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in and to the Customer Portal, the Services, the Documentation, First Orion’s Confidential Information, any data that is derived from the use of the Services that does not directly or indirectly identify Customers, and any feedback or suggestions provided by or on behalf of Customer regarding the Services. As between the parties, Customer owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in and to Customer’s Confidential Information, and the Customer Data, subject to First Orion’s rights to process Customer Data in accordance with these Terms.
6. Customer Data and Usage Data
- Customer grants to First Orion and its Affiliates, during the term of any Order, the right to process Customer Data in a manner consistent with these Terms in order to (a) provide the Services; (b) mitigate fraud or other harm to customers; and (c) analyze, develop, support, monitor, and improve the Services and the Customer Portal. Customers using Branded Calling Services authorize First Orion to disclose Branded Calling Data to any applicable Distribution Partner for the purposes of (i) managing call traffic flow, (ii) observing and managing branding activity, (iii) Customer vetting, (iv) providing third tier support for the Services as needed, (v) permitting First Orion to perform the Services to the Customer and (vi) confirming compliance with applicable laws. To the extent that First Orion processes any Personal Data on your behalf as a data processor when performing its obligations under these Terms, the Data Processing Addendum (located on the Legal Dashboard) shall apply.
- First Orion will have the right to collect and analyze Usage Data and First Orion will be free (during and after the term of the Order) to use Usage Data in de-identified and aggregated form to maintain, improve, and enhance First Orion’s products or services. Examples of Usage Data include technical logs, metadata, telemetry data, and usage information about Customer Data, such as how many times it is accessed. For clarity, Usage Data excludes Customer Data itself.
7. Use and Suspension
- We may suspend all or any part of the Services if we, in good faith, determine: (a) that you are in breach of any provision of these Terms; (b) that our provision of the Services is prohibited by applicable law or regulation; (c) that there is any use of the Services by you that in our judgment threatens the security, integrity or availability of the Services; (d) that information in your account is or becomes untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or fraudulent; or (e) we reasonably believe that your use of the Services may cause material harm to First Orion, the Services, or other entities using the Services including Distribution Partners.
- The Services may also be suspended in their entirety, at an enterprise level, on a business level, or on an individual telephone number basis in connection with any request or directive by a Distribution Partner. We will notify you immediately in the event suspension is necessary including any required corrective actions if applicable.
- You agree to reasonably cooperate with First Orion in any investigation into any events that resulted in a suspension. You will remain responsible for the Fees (as defined below) during any period of suspension. However, in the event of a suspension that causes a change in the Services that materially effects the fees being charged, Customer and First Orion will meet to discuss any adjustments.
8. Term and Termination
- Term. Unless earlier terminated as provided in these Terms, the term applicable to the Services will be as set forth in the applicable Order. In the event no term is specified, the term shall be month to month, and either Customer or First Orion may terminate at any time, effective as of the end of a month.
- Termination For Convenience. Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable Order, either party may terminate these Terms for any reason upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if there is an Order(s) in effect, Customer may not terminate these Terms until such Order(s) has expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms.
- Termination for Material Breach. First Orion may terminate these Terms (including all Order(s)) in the event Customer commits any material breach of these Terms and fails to remedy such material breach within thirty (30) days of the date written notice of such material breach is provided. For the avoidance of doubt, any breach of our Acceptable Use Policy will be considered a material breach of these Terms. Customer may also terminate these Terms (including all Order(s)) in the event First Orion commits a material breach of these Terms and fails to remedy such material breach within thirty (30) days of the date written notice of such material breach is provided.
- Additional Termination Right. We may terminate all or a portion of the Services provided under an Order to the extent a Distribution Partner precludes or materially modifies our ability to provide such Services. We will provide notice of a termination under this section promptly upon becoming aware of the circumstances giving rise to the termination right.
9. Fees and Payments
- Fees. In consideration for the provision of the Services, Customer shall pay the Fees as set forth in each Order between Customer and First Orion. Unless indicated otherwise, Fees are (i) stated in US dollars and (ii) non-cancelable and non-refundable. Except as set forth in an Order, First Orion reserves the right to adjust the Fees by providing written notice to Customer at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term (and such adjusted Fees will take effect upon the applicable renewal).
- Taxes. Customer will be responsible for, and agrees to pay, all sales, use, excise, and value-added taxes, or taxes of a similar nature (excluding personal property taxes and taxes based on First Orion’s income which shall be borne by First Orion) imposed by the United States, any state or local government or other taxing authority, on the use of the Services or Fees paid by Customer under the Order (“Taxes”). Customers exempt from paying certain Taxes must provide necessary exemption information or a valid exemption certificate issued by the appropriate authority via e-mail to accounting@firstorion.com. Once the exemption request is approved, Customer will be exempt on a going-forward basis. If the appropriate authority determines, at any time, that Customer is not exempt from paying any Taxes, Customer will promptly pay such Taxes to First Orion, plus any applicable interest or penalties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, First Orion may specify Fees for Services which are all inclusive of Taxes and in such event the invoice provided to the Customer will state that the invoiced Fees are all inclusive of Taxes. If the Customer is not subject to, or exempt from, all or any portion of the Taxes, for those Fees which are all inclusive of Taxes, there will be no adjustment to the Fees.
- Billing. As part of creating a Customer Account or submitting information in connection with the use of Services, Customer agrees to provide First Orion with updated, accurate and complete billing information, and Customer authorizes First Orion (either directly or through our Affiliates or other third parties) to charge, request, and collect payment (or otherwise refund or take any other billing actions) from Customer’s payment method or designated banking account and to make any inquiries that First Orion (or its Affiliates and/or third-parties acting on its behalf) may consider necessary to validate Customer’s designated payment account or financial information to ensure prompt payment, including for the purpose of receiving updated payment details from Customer’s credit card company or banking account (e.g., updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to us by Customer’s credit card company).
- Payment.
- First Orion may specify instances in which the Customer must prepay the Fees for the Services. In addition to being able to pay for such Services by ACH, First Orion also provides for payment through a third-party payment processor to process and collect payments for Services. Customer agrees to provide all information required by the payment processor to facilitate payment and authorizes First Orion, either directly or through the payment provider, to charge Customer for the Fees when due during the term applicable to the Services.
- First Orion may also specify instances in which Fees for Services will be billed in arrears, including those based on usage or consumption criteria (e.g., per treated call). In these instances, invoices will be sent on or about the first of each calendar month. Fees for the first and last month may be pro-rated based on the Effective Date. Pro-rated fees for the first month may be included on the invoice for the following calendar month. All payments are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date (the “Due Date”). In the event an invoice is not paid by its Due Date, such invoice shall bear simple interest at the lower of the highest rate allowable by applicable law or 1.5% per month. Payments shall be made by check, Automated Clearing House (ACH), or other electronic means reasonably required by First Orion. Client may request that First Orion participate in an alternative payment or invoicing method; however, the Due Date will not be suspended during any time period during which the alternative method is being implemented. In the event Customer fails to pay the Fees in accordance with these Terms (or an applicable Order), First Orion reserves the right to try to collect payment at a later time and/or suspend or cancel the Services, without notice.
- Payment through Partner. If Customer purchased a Service through a Partner, then to the extent there is any conflict between these Terms and the agreement entered between Customer and the respective Partner, including any purchase order (“Partner Agreement”), then, as between Customer and First Orion, these Terms shall prevail. Any rights granted to Customer and/or any of its Users in such Partner Agreement which are not contained in these Terms apply only in connection with the Partner. In that case, Customer must seek redress or enforcement of such rights solely with the Partner and not First Orion. For clarity, Customer’s and its Users’ access to the Services is subject to the receipt from Partner of the payment of the applicable Fees paid by Customer to Partner. Customer hereby acknowledges that at any time, at our discretion, the billing of the Fees may be assigned to us, such that Customer shall pay us directly the respective Fees. The amounts paid to First Orion by the Partner for Customer’s use of the Services will be deemed the amount paid or payable by Customer for purposes of Section 13, Limitation of Liability.
10. Confidentiality
- Confidential Information. Either party (the “Disclosing Party”) may from time to time disclose Confidential Information to the other party (the “Recipient”). “Confidential Information” is all nonpublic information in any form that is disclosed to either party by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party concerning the business, technology, proprietary software, pricing, business plans, forecasts, marketing information, trade secrets and/or financial performance and strategies of the Disclosing Party which is conveyed to the Recipient orally or in tangible form and is either marked as “confidential” or which, due to the circumstances surrounding its disclosure or its nature or sensitivity, should have been understood by the Recipient as intended to be treated as confidential.
- Obligations. Recipient agrees to hold all Confidential Information in confidence and trust and will not disclose or disseminate, or permit any employee, agent or other party working under Recipient's direction to disclose or disseminate the existence, source, content, or substance of any Confidential Information to any other party. Recipient shall use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only as necessary for the performance of this Agreement. Recipient will employ at least the same methods and degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information as Recipient employs with respect to its own confidential trade secrets and proprietary information. Recipient's employees, independent contractors, and agents will be given access to the Confidential Information only on a need-to-know basis and under a duty to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.
- Exceptions. Confidential Information will not include information that: (i) is now generally known or available or which hereafter, through no act or failure to act on the part of Recipient, becomes generally known or available; (ii) is rightfully known to Recipient at the time of receiving such information; (iii) is furnished to Recipient by a third party without restriction on disclosure and without a breach by such third party of any confidentiality undertaking with respect thereto; or (iv) is independently developed by Recipient without the use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Recipient may also disclose Confidential Information if disclosure is required by operation of law or if required by a court, tribunal or administrative agency; provided that, unless prohibited by law, the Recipient shall give the Disclosing Party as much advance written notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances so as to permit the Disclosing Party to take commercially reasonable actions at its own expense to prevent disclosure.
- Remedies. Each party acknowledges that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information and that each party may seek, without waiving any other rights or remedies, such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction. At Disclosing Party's option, Recipient shall promptly either destroy all Confidential Information in tangible form in its possession or return all such copies to Disclosing Party, and in either event provide a written certification confirming the same, promptly upon Disclosing Party's written request.
11. Representations, Warranties, and Disclaimers

- Exclusive Remedy. This Section 12 states Indemnifying Party’s sole liability to, and Indemnified Party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any third-party claims.
13. Limitation of Liability
- LIMITATION ON INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, AND RELATED DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WLL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PUNITVE DAMAGES, WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF A PARTY’S REMEDY OTHERWISE FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

14. General
- No Waiver and Order of Preference. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right or enforcing any provision under these Terms will constitute a waiver of that right or any provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is asserted to be legally binding. Titles and headings of sections of these Terms are for convenience only and will not affect the construction of any provision of these Terms. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence will be (1) the applicable Order, (2) any applicable Service Specific Terms, (3) these Terms, (4) our Acceptable Use Policy, (5) any other terms incorporated by reference herein, and (6) the applicable Documentation.
- Assignment. You will not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer these Terms or any applicable Order(s), in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms or any applicable Order(s) without our consent will be null and void. We may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer these Terms or any applicable Order(s) in whole or in part, without your consent. Subject to this Section, these Terms and any applicable Order(s) will be binding on each party and each party’s successors and assigns.
- Relationship. The relationship of the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms is intended to create or will be construed as creating an employer-employee relationship or a partnership, agency, joint venture, or franchise. Each party will be solely responsible for its respective employees and agents and all related costs and expenses. Each party will also be solely responsible for any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or defects of any type that may arise on account of each of its respective activities, or those of its respective employees and agents, in the performance of these Terms. Neither party has the authority to commit the other party in any way and will not attempt to do so or imply that it has the right to do so.
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable and, in any event, the rest of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
- Notices and Consent to Electronic Delivery. Notices to us under these Terms will be provided via email to legal@firstorion.com. You agree that we can provide Notices regarding the Services to you through our website, through your Customer Account, or by mailing Notices to the email or physical addresses identified in your account. Notices may include notifications about your account, changes to the Services, or other information we are required to provide to you. You also agree that electronic delivery of a Notice has the same legal effect as if we provided you with a physical copy. We will consider a Notice to have been received by you within 24 hours of the time a Notice is either posted to the Customer Portal or our website or emailed to you.
- Force Majeure. No failure, delay, or default in performance of any obligation of a party will constitute an event of default or breach of these Terms to the extent that such failure to perform, delay, or default arises out of a cause, existing or future, that is beyond the control and without negligence of such party, including action or inaction of governmental, civil, or military authority, fire, strike, lockout, or other labor dispute, flood, terrorist act, war, riot, theft, earthquake or other natural disaster. The party affected by such cause will take all reasonable actions to minimize the consequences of such cause.
- Dispute Resolution. In the event of a disputed claim or controversy arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof other than for disputes, claims, or controversies related to the intellectual property of a party (“Dispute”), each party’s senior representatives will engage in good faith negotiations with the other party’s senior representatives to amicably resolve a Dispute. If parties are unable to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the first request to engage in good faith negotiations or within such other time period as the parties may agree to in writing, then either party may commence binding arbitration under Section 14(h).
- Arbitration
- Binding Arbitration. In the event that there is a dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to statutory or common law claims, the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity of any provision of these Terms, and the determination of the scope or applicability of your agreement to arbitrate any dispute, claim or controversy originating from these Terms, but specifically excluding any dispute principally related to either party’s intellectual property (which such dispute will be resolved in litigation before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas), will be determined by arbitration in Little Rock, Arkansas before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law of the State of Arkansas, exclusive of its conflict or choice of law rules. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provisions in this paragraph referencing applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) will govern any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms. Either party may commence arbitration by providing to the American Arbitration Association and the other party to the dispute a written demand for arbitration setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested.
- Service of Process. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process through personal service at their corporate headquarters, registered address, or primary address (for individuals or sole proprietors). Nothing in these Terms will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
- Class Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the parties agrees that any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim or dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to these Terms or any of the transactions contemplated between the parties.
- Provision of an Award. Subject to the limitations of liability identified in Section 13 of these Terms, the appointed arbitrators may award monetary damages and any other remedies allowed by the laws of the State of Arkansas. In making a determination, the arbitrator will not have the authority to modify any term or provision of these Terms. The arbitrator will deliver a reasoned written decision with respect to the dispute (the “Award”) to each party, who will promptly act in accordance with the Award. Any Award (including interim or final remedies) may be confirmed in or enforced by a state or federal court located in Little Rock, Arkansas. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties and will not be subject to appeal or review.
- Arbitration Fees. Each party will advance one-half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, the costs of the attendance of the arbitration reporter at the arbitration hearing, and the costs of the arbitration facility. In any arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms, the arbitrator will award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with those aspects of its claims or defenses on which it prevails, and any opposing awards of costs and legal fees awards will be offset.
- Confidentiality. The parties will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding, the hearing and the Award, except (i) as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, (ii) in connection with a court application as contemplated above for a preliminary remedy, or confirmation of an Award or its enforcement, (iii) our disclosure of the Award in confidential settlement negotiations, or (iv) as otherwise required by applicable laws. The parties, witnesses, and arbitrator will treat as confidential and will not disclose to any third person (other than witnesses or experts) any documentary or other evidence produced in any arbitration hereunder, except as required by applicable law or except if such evidence was obtained from the public domain or was otherwise obtained independently from the arbitration.
- Conflict of Rules. If any provision of this agreement to arbitrate is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be held to the minimum extent required by law and all the other provisions will remain valid and enforceable.
- Governing Law and Venue. Unless unenforceable under applicable law, these Terms will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws and principles that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply. These Terms will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services will be instituted in the courts of Pulaski County, Arkansas, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.
- Entire Agreement. Except as provided in these Terms and any exhibits or attachments, applicable Order(s), or other terms incorporated by reference into these Terms, these Terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous proposals, statements, sales materials, presentations, or agreements, oral and written. No oral or written information or advice given by us, our agents, or our employees will create a warranty or in any way increase the scope of the warranties or obligations under these Terms. Any term or condition stated in your vendor registration form or registration portal or in any purchase order document or similar document provided by you will be construed solely as evidence of your internal business processes, and the terms and conditions contained thereon will be null and void and have no effect with regard to these Terms between the parties and be non-binding against us even if accepted or signed by us after the date your accept these Terms.

The Administrator will have the capability of providing administrative privileges identical to that of the Administrator to any User, including the ability to create and maintain subsequent User Accounts and assigning and revoking access privileges. If these privileges are granted by the Administrator to a User, that User will be considered an Administrator.

Customer also agrees that the Administrator will have the authority on the Customer’s behalf to electronically accept and approve any and all agreements and amendments to agreements by and between First Orion and Customer, including these Terms. The Administrator(s) appointed for a Customer are, severally and jointly, deemed as the authorized representatives of the Customer, and any decision or action made by any Administrator is deemed a decision or action by Customer.
- Users. Any User creating a User Account in the Customer Portal will establish a User ID and password (“User Credentials”). Customer is responsible for limiting access to the Customer Portal to its authorized users and for maintaining the confidentiality of all User Credentials. Customer will require all Users to keep their password strictly confidential and to not share such information with any unauthorized person and will notify First Orion immediately of any unauthorized use. First Orion will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of any User Account. Customer is responsible for the activities of all of its Users, including Orders they may place and how Users use the Customer Data, even if those Users are not from Customer’s organization or domain. Further, Customer acknowledges that any action taken by a User of a Customer Account is deemed an authorized action by Customer.

In addition to these Terms, provisions applicable to your access and use of First Orion Preview Materials, Credentials and Developer Tools can be found in the Developer Terms.
3. Business Vetting
- Registration. To use any of the Services offered by First Orion, Customers must satisfy our vetting process by registering in the Customer Portal. The vetting process is designed to ensure that you are operating, and will continue to operate, ethically when utilizing our Services. As part of the registration process, you must provide us with information regarding Customer’s business (business name, physical address, phone number, URL, DUNS number, company registration number, and industry code), contact information (name, email address, and phone number), the business phone numbers being used, the call purpose, the call category applicable to the calls you are making, and such other information as we may reasonably require. We may also review supplemental data sources in addition to the information submitted. You must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about the Customer(s) as requested during registration, and you must keep the information true, accurate, current, and complete after registration for as long as you utilize the Services. Once you have been approved, we will share the data collected by us on you with our Distribution Partners so that they are able to accept or reject a request for you to access their Distribution according to their requirements. If Customer breaches these Terms, including, without limitation, all payment obligations, Customer will be strictly prohibited from registering new businesses until the breach has been remedied in full. We may accept or reject your registration in our sole discretion.
- Continued Right to Use Phone Numbers. You acknowledge the need for initial and ongoing accuracy with respect to the business registration information provided, including your ownership or right to use the calling party number(s) submitted for use with the Services, and you represent and warrant that you are the owner or otherwise have the right to use the numbers that you are calling from (also referenced as the calling party or A number(s)) as submitted for registration with First Orion and use with the Services. Further, you will promptly advise First Orion in writing when you no longer own or have the right to use any such A number (which may include removal of the A number(s) from registration with First Orion).

- If an Order provides that Customer may use the Services as a business process outsourcer acting on behalf of its enterprise customers, then Customer represents and warrants that (i) it has obtained the right, title, and interest from each enterprise customer to act on its behalf in connection with the Services and (ii) Customer has a valid and binding written agreement in place with each enterprise customer that provides such right, title, and interest to Customer and requires that each enterprise customer comply with all applicable provisions of these Terms. Customer further understands and agrees that each enterprise customer is subject to any vetting and approval requirements for the provision of the Services
6. Ownership and Reservation of Rights
As between the parties, First Orion owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in and to the Customer Portal, the Services, the Documentation, First Orion’s Confidential Information, any data that is derived from the use of the Services that does not directly or indirectly identify Customers, and any feedback or suggestions provided by or on behalf of Customer regarding the Services. As between the parties, Customer owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in and to Customer’s Confidential Information, and the Customer Data, subject to First Orion’s rights to process Customer Data in accordance with these Terms
7. Customer Data and Usage Data
- Customer grants to First Orion and its Affiliates the right to process Customer Data in accordance with all Data Protection Laws and in a manner consistent with these Terms in order to (a) provide the Services; (b) mitigate fraud or other harm to customers; and (c) analyze, develop, support, monitor, and improve the Services and the Customer Portal. Customers using Branded Calling Services authorize First Orion to disclose Branded Calling Data to any applicable Distribution Partner for the purposes of (i) managing call traffic flow, (ii) observing and managing branding activity, (iii) Customer vetting, (iv) providing third tier support for the Services as needed, (v) permitting First Orion to perform the Services to the Customer and (vi) confirming compliance with applicable laws.

Examples of Usage Data include technical logs, metadata, telemetry data, and usage information about Customer Data, such as how many times it is accessed. For clarity, Usage Data excludes Customer Data itself.
8. Use and Suspension
- We may suspend all or any part of the Services if we, in good faith, determine: (a) that you are in breach of any provision of these Terms; (b) that our provision of the Services is prohibited by applicable law or regulation; (c) that there is any use of the Services by you that in our judgment threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Services; (d) that information in your account is or becomes untrue, inaccurate, incomplete, or fraudulent; or (e) we reasonably believe that your use of the Services may cause material harm to First Orion, the Services, or other entities using the Services including Distribution Partners.
- The Services may also be suspended in their entirety, at an enterprise level, on a business level, or on an individual telephone number basis in connection with any request or directive by a Distribution Partner. We will notify you immediately in the event suspension is necessary including any required corrective actions if applicable.
- You agree to reasonably cooperate with First Orion in any investigation into any events that resulted in a suspension. You will remain responsible for the Fees (as defined below) during any period of suspension. However, in the event of a suspension that causes a change in the Services that materially effects the fees being charged, Customer and First Orion will meet to discuss any adjustments
9. Term and Termination
- Term. Unless earlier terminated as provided in these Terms, the term applicable to the Services will be as set forth in the applicable Order. In the event no term is specified, the term shall be month to month, and either Customer or First Orion may terminate at any time, effective as of the end of a month.
- Termination For Convenience. Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable Order, either party may terminate these Terms for any reason upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if there is an Order(s) in effect, Customer may not terminate these Terms until such Order(s) has expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms.
- Termination for Material Breach. First Orion may terminate these Terms (including all Order(s)) in the event Customer commits any material breach of these Terms and fails to remedy such material breach within thirty (30) days of the date written notice of such material breach is provided. For the avoidance of doubt, any breach of the Acceptable Use Policy will be considered a material breach of these Terms. Customer may also terminate these Terms (including all Order(s)) in the event First Orion commits a material breach of these Terms and fails to remedy such material breach within thirty (30) days of the date written notice of such material breach is provided.
- Additional Termination Right. We may terminate all or a portion of the Services provided under an Order to the extent a Distribution Partner precludes or materially modifies our ability to provide such Services. We will provide notice of a termination under this section promptly upon becoming aware of the circumstances giving rise to the termination right.
10. Fees and Payments
- Fees. In consideration for the provision of the Services, Customer shall pay the Fees as set forth in each Order between Customer and First Orion. Unless indicated otherwise, Fees are (i) stated in US dollars and (ii) non-cancelable and non-refundable. Except as set forth in an Order, First Orion reserves the right to adjust the Fees by providing written notice to Customer at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term (and such adjusted Fees will take effect upon the applicable renewal).
- Taxes. All amounts payable by Customer are exclusive of VAT and any other applicable taxes, duties, or levies, which will be payable by Customer in addition to the Fees due. First Orion will include any applicable VAT on its invoices and will provide valid VAT invoices where required by law. Customer will not be responsible for any taxes based on First Orion’s income, profits, or payroll. Customers exempt from paying certain taxes must provide necessary exemption information or a valid exemption certificate issued by the appropriate authority via e-mail to accounting@firstorion.com. Once the exemption request is approved, Customer will be exempt on a going-forward basis. If the appropriate authority determines, at any time, that Customer is not exempt from paying any taxes, Customer will promptly pay such taxes to First Orion, plus any applicable interest or penalties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, First Orion may specify Fees for Services that are all inclusive of taxes and in such event the invoice provided to the Customer will state that the invoiced Fees are all inclusive of taxes. If the Customer is not subject to, or exempt from, all or any portion of the taxes, for those Fees which are all inclusive of taxes, there will be no adjustment to the Fees.
- Billing. As part of creating a Customer Account or submitting information in connection with the use of Services, Customer agrees to provide First Orion with updated, accurate, and complete billing information, and Customer authorizes First Orion (either directly or through its Affiliates or other third-parties acting on its behalf) to charge, request, and collect payment (or otherwise refund or take any other billing actions) from Customer’s payment method or designated banking account and to make any inquiries that First Orion (or its Affiliates and/or third-parties acting on its behalf) may consider necessary to validate Customer’s designated payment account or financial information to ensure prompt payment.
- Payment. First Orion will invoice Customer on a monthly basis in arrears. Invoices will be sent on the first of each calendar month. Fees for the first and last month may be pro-rated based on the Effective Date. Pro-rated fees for the first month may be included on the invoice for the following calendar month. All payments are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date (the “Due Date”). In the event an invoice is not paid by its Due Date, such invoice shall bear simple interest at the lower of the highest rate allowable by applicable law or 1.5% per month. If an invoice is unpaid more than thirty (30) days after the Due Date, First Orion may suspend performance under these Terms by providing Customer with at least five (5) days’ prior notice. Payments shall be made by check, ACH, or other electronic means reasonably required by First Orion. Customer may request that First Orion participate in an alternative payment or invoicing method; however, the Due Date will not be suspended during any time period during which the alternative method is being implemented. As mutually agreed by First Orion and Customer, First Orion may delegate or assign invoicing, billing, and collections for the Services to a third party selected by First Orion, including a third party providing other services for Customer.
- Payment through Partner. If Customer purchases Services through a Partner, then to the extent there is any conflict between these Terms and the agreement entered between Customer and the respective Partner, including any purchase order (“Partner Agreement”), then, as between Customer and First Orion, these Terms shall prevail. Any rights granted to Customer and/or any of its Users in such Partner Agreement which are not contained in these Terms apply only in connection with the Partner. In that case, Customer must seek redress or enforcement of such rights solely with the Partner and not First Orion. For clarity, Customer’s and its Users’ access to the Services is subject to the receipt from Partner of the payment of the applicable Fees paid by Customer to Partner. Customer hereby acknowledges that at any time, at our discretion, the billing of the Fees may be assigned to us, such that Customer will pay us directly the respective Fees. The amounts paid to First Orion by the Partner for Customer’s use of the Services will be deemed the amount paid or payable by Customer for purposes of Section 14, Limitation of Liability.
11. Confidentiality
- Confidential Information. Either party (the “Disclosing Party”) may from time to time disclose Confidential Information to the other party (the “Recipient”). “Confidential Information” is all nonpublic information in any form that is disclosed to either party by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party concerning the business, technology, proprietary software, pricing, business plans, forecasts, marketing information, trade secrets and/or financial performance and strategies of the Disclosing Party which is conveyed to the Recipient orally or in tangible form and is either marked as “confidential” or which, due to the circumstances surrounding its disclosure or its nature or sensitivity, should have been understood by the Recipient as intended to be treated as confidential.
- Obligations. Recipient agrees to hold all Confidential Information in confidence and trust and will not disclose or disseminate, or permit any employee, agent or other party working under Recipient’s direction to disclose or disseminate the existence, source, content or substance of any Confidential Information to any other party. Recipient shall use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only as necessary for the performance of these Terms. Recipient will employ at least the same methods and degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information as Recipient employs with respect to its own confidential trade secrets and proprietary information. Recipient’s employees, independent contractors, and agents will be given access to the Confidential Information only on a need-to-know basis and under a duty to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.
- Exceptions. Confidential Information will not include information that: (i) is now generally known or available or which hereafter, through no act or failure to act on the part of Recipient, becomes generally known or available; (ii) is rightfully known to Recipient at the time of receiving such information; (iii) is furnished to Recipient by a third party without restriction on disclosure and without a breach by such third party of any confidentiality undertaking with respect thereto; or (iv) is independently developed by Recipient without the use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Recipient may also disclose Confidential Information if disclosure is required by operation of law or if required by a court, tribunal or administrative agency; provided that, unless prohibited by law, the Recipient shall give the Disclosing Party as much advance written notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances so as to permit the Disclosing Party to take commercially reasonable actions at its own expense to prevent disclosure.
- Remedies. Each party acknowledges that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information and that each party may seek, without waiving any other rights or remedies, such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction. At Disclosing Party’s option, Recipient shall promptly either destroy all Confidential Information in tangible form in its possession or return all such copies to Disclosing Party, and in either event provide a written certification confirming the same, promptly upon Disclosing Party’s written request.
12. Representations, Warranties, and Disclaimers
- Mutual Representations. Each party represents and warrants that: (a) it is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the place of its establishment or incorporation; and (b) it has full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Terms.

Customer represents and warrants that: (a) Customer is eligible to register and use the Services; (b) any information provided to First Orion in connection with the Customer Account and the Services is accurate and complete; (c) Customer will comply with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to Customer’s business and its use of the Services (including, without limitation, all applicable laws, rules, and regulations in any way related to calls made by Customer; (d) Customer’s employees, contractors, and agents will at all times act consistently with these Terms; and (e) Customer will not use the Services, directly or indirectly, for any fraudulent or illegal undertaking, or in any manner that interferes with the normal operation of the Services.
- DISCLAIMER. WITHOUT LIMITING A PARTY’S EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 12, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND WE MAKE NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, AND WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INTERNET AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDERS’ NETWORKS ARE INHERENTLY INSECURE. ACCORDINGLY, YOU AGREE WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CHANGES TO, INTERCEPTION OF, OR LOSS OF CUSTOMER DATA WHILE IN TRANSIT VIA THE INTERNET OR TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER’S NETWORK.
13. Indemnification

We will defend you from and against any claim, demand, suit, or proceeding made or brought against you by a third party alleging that our provision of the Services infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (“Infringement Claim”).

- Exclusive Remedy. This Section 13 states Indemnifying Party’s sole liability to, and Indemnified Party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any third-party claims.
14. Limitation of Liability

Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is asserted to be legally binding. Titles and headings of sections of these Terms are for convenience only and will not affect the construction of any provision of these Terms. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence will be (1) the applicable Order, (2) any applicable Service Specific Terms, (3) these Terms, (4) our Acceptable Use Policy, (5) any other terms incorporated by reference herein, and (6) the applicable Documentation.

Privacy Policy – US & Canada
First Orion Corp. (“First Orion,” “we,” or “our”) is a business dedicated to using technology and data to give consumers tools to recognize and manage calls they receive and to help businesses reach the right people in a compliant manner. Our mission is to provide transparency and control in communication that empowers people to trust their phones again.
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share your personal information. “Personal information” means any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. The Privacy Policy applies to information we collect in connection with our products and services.
Our products and services include various features and functionality to tell you who is calling and why, identify and block calls from businesses who are likely scammers or spammers, and have enhanced information displayed on your device about who is calling you and why.
Your Rights as a Consumer
First Orion takes the privacy of personal information about individuals seriously. Under various federal and state laws, you have certain rights related to how your personal information is collected, used, disclosed, and sold. First Orion extends these privacy rights to anyone who is a resident of the United States or Canada. In addition, these rights apply differently to each line of business as described below. A general description of your rights is provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.
First Orion’s Customer Portal
First Orion’s Customer Portal located at portal.firstorion.com is a website that collects registration information and phone number information from businesses who register in order to provide various services offered through the Customer Portal.
The registration information includes information about the business entity that owns the phone number information and how to contact the registrant. The number information includes the telephone number itself and other descriptive information about the kinds of calls made by the number such as the registrant’s industry and the reason for their calls.
First Orion may obtain other information about registrants on the Customer Portal from third parties and combine it with information provided by the registrant to create a more accurate reflection of who is calling and why.
First Orion’s Branded Communications solutions
First Orion’s INFORM® branded communication solutions provide businesses who call you with the ability to display enriched, branded, personalized information so you know more about who is calling and why they are calling. Our optional Call Authentication feature prevents a spoofed call from being branded. Call Authentication requires that the business submit the calling party number and called party numbers as part of the authentication request. Called party numbers received with the authentication request are immediately encrypted and the hashed value is stored only for the duration of the pairing. These solutions are provided through carriers and their service providers who are partners of First Orion.
Our ENRICH® solution enables businesses to send secure, branded RCS (Rich Communication Services) messages directly to mobile devices. Messages can include logos, business name, and suggested replies and actions, creating interactive, trusted experiences within the device’s native messaging app.
First Orion’s Call Security solutions
First Orion’s SENTRY® solution prevents spoofing by authenticating calls before they terminate in the carrier network. The use of SENTRY requires that the business submit the calling party number and called party numbers as part of an authentication request. Called party numbers received with the authentication request are immediately encrypted and the hashed value is stored only for the duration of the pairing. Our Protect+ risk detection solution analyzes inbound call traffic for real-time scam/nuisance detection.
First Orion’s Call Protection services provide business labels such as “Scam Likely” and “Telemarketer” to identify likely scammers and other types of callers to help you to avoid becoming a victim of phone fraud or being bothered by unwanted calls. In addition, these solutions offer various other features and functionality for you to block unwanted, private, or unknown calls, and do reverse telephone number lookups. You can access First Orion’s Call Protection features through your telecommunications carrier if they are a First Orion client. Your phone number will be used for identity validation purposes and to know who to bill for fee-based services as well as to improve the functionality of our carrier services.
To provide this service, First Orion’s data scientists analyze information from your carrier about the calls you receive and the actions you take (such as blocking a call or reporting a problem). We also collect and analyze identifying information (name, address, and phone number) about businesses from third parties, including carriers and data brokers, and publicly available government records to accurately identify business lines.
How We Use Contact Information Collected Through Our Contact Forms
We may collect personal information, including your name, email, address, phone number, and mailing address, that you choose to submit to us through the contact us form.

Privacy Policy – UK & EU
Overview
First Orion UK Limited (company number 09929064), the UK affiliate of First Orion Corp., a Delaware USA company, is a business dedicated to using technology and data to give consumers tools to recognize and manage calls they receive and to help businesses reach the right people in a compliant manner. Our mission is to provide transparency and control in communication that empowers people to trust their phones again.
This Privacy Policy provides information on how First Orion collects and processes your personal data (i.e., information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual) through your use of our branded communication services. This Privacy Policy covers the collection, use, disclosure, and sharing of your personal data and how the law protects you.
First Orion’s Branded Communication Services
First Orion’s branded communication services (the “Services”) provide companies who call you the ability to display enriched, branded, personalized information so you know more about who is calling and why they are calling so you are comfortable answering the call. First Orion is a data processor for these Services.
Our ENGAGE® service allows a richer display of information that is not limited to the caller ID field. This service is provided through our stand-alone ENGAGE App or as a feature of other Apps you may download or have on your mobile device. You can find our Engage App in the Google Play Store for Android devices or the App Store for iPhones.
Our INFORM® service allows businesses that call you to control the caller ID display on your phone (instead of the carrier controlling the display) and may include add-on services that can prevent spoofing. This service is provided through carriers through which First Orion is authorized to provide this service. The use of INFORM is limited to calls being made from and to telephone numbers under the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA).
Information we may collect from you with regard to the Services:
You may give us information when you register to use the Services or by corresponding with us by phone, email, or otherwise. This includes information you provide when you report a problem with the Services.
Information collected by the Services and how such information is used:
When you register to use our ENGAGE App, the App collects identifying information in the form of your phone number and uses it initially for identity validation purposes. We also use your phone number and other specifications about your device so we know where to deliver the enhanced information about the caller and to properly deliver the message in a compatible format.
For ENGAGE to function, you will need to allow the App to access your contacts so the ENGAGE delivery service can dynamically create a contact for incoming calls that display the enhanced information. We do NOT export any information from your contacts for any purpose. Once the enhanced call is delivered to your phone, the contact is automatically deleted.
First Orion’s Processing of Personal Data
Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data: We rely upon the following legal grounds as a basis for processing your personal data.

Whenever we transfer your personal data from the UK and EEA to the United States or any other country that has not been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission or the UK Government, we will ensure that a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by using specific appropriate safeguards approved by the European Commission and the UK Government, which are designed to give personal data the same protection it has in the EEA/UK (for example, requiring the recipient of personal data to enter into the relevant form of the so-called ‘Standard Contractual Clauses’ issued or approved from time to time).
Data Retention: Personal data processed through our Services will be kept by First Orion for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We determine the appropriate retention period for personal data on the basis of the purpose for which we process the personal data, the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal data, and whether the purposes of the processing can be achieved through other means, as well as on the basis of applicable legal requirements.

As part of the registration process, you must provide us with information regarding Customer’s business (business name, physical address, phone number, URL, DUNS number, company registration number, and industry code), contact information (name, email address, and phone number), the business phone numbers being used, the call purpose, the call category applicable to the calls you are making, and such other information as we may reasonably require. We may also review supplemental data sources in addition to the information submitted. You must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about the Customer(s) as requested during registration, and you must keep the information true, accurate, current, and complete after registration for as long as you utilize the Services. Once you have been approved, we will share the data collected by us on you with our Distribution Partners so that they are able to accept or reject a request for you to access their Distribution according to their requirements. If Customer breaches these Terms, including, without limitation, all payment obligations, Customer will be strictly prohibited from registering new businesses until the breach has been remedied in full. We may accept or reject your registration in our sole discretion.

You acknowledge the need for initial and ongoing accuracy with respect to the business registration information provided, including your ownership or right to use the calling party number(s) submitted for use with the Services, and you represent and warrant that you are the owner or otherwise have the right to use the numbers that you are calling from (also referenced as the calling party or A number(s)) as submitted for registration with First Orion and use with the Services. Further, you will promptly advise First Orion in writing when you no longer own or have the right to use any such A number (which may include removal of the A number(s) from registration with First Orion).
4. First Orion Responsibilities
- Customer Portal License. Subject to these Terms, First Orion grants Customer a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable (subject to Section 14(b)), non-sublicensable license, from the date on which Customer is provided access to the Customer Portal until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Order or (ii) the date on which the Customer Account is terminated, for Users to access and use the First Orion Customer Portal in connection with Customer’s internal business purposes.

- Agents. Customer may, from time to time, appoint one or more Agents. Any such appointment shall not relieve Customer of its obligations under these Terms. Customer represents and warrants that any Agent acting on its behalf is duly authorized to do so and shall act in accordance with the terms and conditions of these Terms. Customer shall be fully responsible and liable for all acts, omissions, representations, and conduct of its Agents as if such acts or omissions were those of Customer itself. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer remains solely responsible for compliance with these Terms and for any breach of these Terms caused by an Agent. First Orion shall have no obligation to monitor or supervise the activities of any Agent and may rely on the authority of any Agent reasonably believed to be acting on behalf of the Customer.
- If an Order provides that Customer may use the Services as a business process outsourcer acting on behalf of its enterprise customers, then Customer represents and warrants that (i) it has obtained the right, title, and interest from each enterprise customer to act on its behalf in connection with the Services and (ii) Customer has a valid and binding written agreement in place with each enterprise customer that provides such right, title, and interest to Customer and requires that each enterprise customer comply with all applicable provisions of these Terms. Customer further understands and agrees that each enterprise customer is subject to any vetting and approval requirements for the provision of the Services.
6. Ownership and Reservation of Rights
As between the parties, First Orion owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in and to the Customer Portal, the Services, the Documentation, First Orion’s Confidential Information, any data that is derived from the use of the Services that does not directly or indirectly identify Customers, and any feedback or suggestions provided by or on behalf of Customer regarding the Services. As between the parties, Customer owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in and to Customer’s Confidential Information, and the Customer Data, subject to First Orion’s rights to process Customer Data in accordance with these Terms.

Examples of Usage Data include technical logs, metadata, telemetry data, and usage information about Customer Data, such as how many times it is accessed. For clarity, Usage Data excludes Customer Data itself.
8. Use and Suspension
- We may suspend all or any part of the Services if we, in good faith, determine: (a) that you are in breach of any provision of these Terms; (b) that our provision of the Services is prohibited by applicable law or regulation; (c) that there is any use of the Services by you that in our judgment threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Services; (d) that information in your account is or becomes untrue, inaccurate, incomplete, or fraudulent; or (e) we reasonably believe that your use of the Services may cause material harm to First Orion, the Services, or other entities using the Services including Distribution Partners.
- The Services may also be suspended in their entirety, at an enterprise level, on a business level, or on an individual telephone number basis in connection with any request or directive by a Distribution Partner. We will notify you immediately in the event suspension is necessary including any required corrective actions if applicable.
- You agree to reasonably cooperate with First Orion in any investigation into any events that resulted in a suspension. You will remain responsible for the Fees (as defined below) during any period of suspension. However, in the event of a suspension that causes a change in the Services that materially affects the fees being charged, Customer and First Orion will meet to discuss any adjustments.
9. Term and Termination
- Term. Unless earlier terminated as provided in these Terms, the term applicable to the Services will be as set forth in the applicable Order. In the event no term is specified, the term shall be month to month, and either Customer or First Orion may terminate at any time, effective as of the end of a month.
- Termination For Convenience. Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable Order, either party may terminate these Terms for any reason upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if there is an Order(s) in effect, Customer may not terminate these Terms until such Order(s) has expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms.
- Termination for Material Breach. First Orion may terminate these Terms (including all Order(s)) in the event Customer commits any material breach of these Terms and fails to remedy such material breach within thirty (30) days of the date written notice of such material breach is provided. For the avoidance of doubt, any breach of the Acceptable Use Policy will be considered a material breach of these Terms. Customer may also terminate these Terms (including all Order(s)) in the event First Orion commits a material breach of these Terms and fails to remedy such material breach within thirty (30) days of the date written notice of such material breach is provided.
- Additional Termination Right. We may terminate all or a portion of the Services provided under an Order to the extent a Distribution Partner precludes or materially modifies our ability to provide such Services. We will provide notice of a termination under this section promptly upon becoming aware of the circumstances giving rise to the termination right.
10. Fees and Payments
- Fees. In consideration for the provision of the Services, Customer shall pay the Fees as set forth in each Order between Customer and First Orion. Unless indicated otherwise, Fees are (i) stated in US dollars and (ii) non-cancelable and non-refundable. Except as set forth in an Order, First Orion reserves the right to adjust the Fees by providing written notice to Customer at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term (and such adjusted Fees will take effect upon the applicable renewal).
- Taxes. All amounts payable by Customer are exclusive of VAT and any other applicable taxes, duties, or levies, which will be payable by Customer in addition to the Fees due. First Orion will include any applicable VAT on its invoices and will provide valid VAT invoices where required by law. Customer will not be responsible for any taxes based on First Orion’s income, profits, or payroll. Customers exempt from paying certain taxes must provide necessary exemption information or a valid exemption certificate issued by the appropriate authority via e-mail to accounting@firstorion.com. Once the exemption request is approved, Customer will be exempt on a going-forward basis. If the appropriate authority determines, at any time, that Customer is not exempt from paying any taxes, Customer will promptly pay such taxes to First Orion, plus any applicable interest or penalties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, First Orion may specify Fees for Services that are all inclusive of taxes and in such event the invoice provided to the Customer will state that the invoiced Fees are all inclusive of taxes. If the Customer is not subject to, or exempt from, all or any portion of the taxes, for those Fees which are all inclusive of taxes, there will be no adjustment to the Fees.
- Billing. As part of creating a Customer Account or submitting information in connection with the use of Services, Customer agrees to provide First Orion with updated, accurate, and complete billing information, and Customer authorizes First Orion (either directly or through its Affiliates or other third-parties acting on its behalf) to charge, request, and collect payment (or otherwise refund or take any other billing actions) from Customer’s payment method or designated banking account and to make any inquiries that First Orion (or its Affiliates and/or third parties acting on its behalf) may consider necessary to validate Customer’s designated payment account or financial information to ensure prompt payment.
- Payment. First Orion will invoice Customer on a monthly basis in arrears. Invoices will be sent on the first of each calendar month. Fees for the first and last month may be pro-rated based on the Effective Date. Pro-rated fees for the first month may be included on the invoice for the following calendar month. All payments are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date (the “Due Date”). In the event an invoice is not paid by its Due Date, such invoice shall bear simple interest at the lower of the highest rate allowable by applicable law or 1.5% per month. If an invoice is unpaid more than thirty (30) days after the Due Date, First Orion may suspend performance under these Terms by providing Customer with at least five (5) days’ prior notice. Payments shall be made by check, ACH, or other electronic means reasonably required by First Orion. Customer may request that First Orion participate in an alternative payment or invoicing method; however, the Due Date will not be suspended during any time period during which the alternative method is being implemented. As mutually agreed by First Orion and Customer, First Orion may delegate or assign invoicing, billing, and collections for the Services to a third party selected by First Orion, including a third party providing other services for Customer.
- Payment through Partner. If Customer purchases Services through a Partner, then to the extent there is any conflict between these Terms and the agreement entered between Customer and the respective Partner, including any purchase order (“Partner Agreement”), then, as between Customer and First Orion, these Terms shall prevail. Any rights granted to Customer and/or any of its Users in such Partner Agreement which are not contained in these Terms apply only in connection with the Partner. In that case, Customer must seek redress or enforcement of such rights solely with the Partner and not First Orion. For clarity, Customer’s and its Users’ access to the Services is subject to the receipt from Partner of the payment of the applicable Fees paid by Customer to Partner. Customer hereby acknowledges that at any time, at our discretion, the billing of the Fees may be assigned to us, such that Customer will pay us directly the respective Fees. The amounts paid to First Orion by the Partner for Customer’s use of the Services will be deemed the amount paid or payable by Customer for purposes of Section 14, Limitation of Liability.
11. Confidentiality
- Confidential Information. Either party (the “Disclosing Party”) may from time to time disclose Confidential Information to the other party (the “Recipient”). “Confidential Information” is all nonpublic information in any form that is disclosed to either party by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party concerning the business, technology, proprietary software, pricing, business plans, forecasts, marketing information, trade secrets and/or financial performance and strategies of the Disclosing Party which is conveyed to the Recipient orally or in tangible form and is either marked as “confidential” or which, due to the circumstances surrounding its disclosure or its nature or sensitivity, should have been understood by the Recipient as intended to be treated as confidential.
- Obligations. Recipient agrees to hold all Confidential Information in confidence and trust and will not disclose or disseminate, or permit any employee, agent or other party working under Recipient's direction to disclose or disseminate the existence, source, content, or substance of any Confidential Information to any other party. Recipient shall use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only as necessary for the performance of these Terms. Recipient will employ at least the same methods and degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information as Recipient employs with respect to its own confidential trade secrets and proprietary information. Recipient's employees, independent contractors, and agents will be given access to the Confidential Information only on a need-to-know basis and under a duty to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.
- Exceptions. Confidential Information will not include information that: (i) is now generally known or available or which hereafter, through no act or failure to act on the part of Recipient, becomes generally known or available; (ii) is rightfully known to Recipient at the time of receiving such information; (iii) is furnished to Recipient by a third party without restriction on disclosure and without a breach by such third party of any confidentiality undertaking with respect thereto; or (iv) is independently developed by Recipient without the use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Recipient may also disclose Confidential Information if disclosure is required by operation of law or if required by a court, tribunal or administrative agency; provided that, unless prohibited by law, the Recipient shall give the Disclosing Party as much advance written notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances so as to permit the Disclosing Party to take commercially reasonable actions at its own expense to prevent disclosure.
- Remedies. Each party acknowledges that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information and that each party may seek, without waiving any other rights or remedies, such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction. At Disclosing Party's option, Recipient shall promptly either destroy all Confidential Information in tangible form in its possession or return all such copies to Disclosing Party, and in either event provide a written certification confirming the same, promptly upon Disclosing Party's written request.
12. Representations, Warranties, and Disclaimers
- Mutual Representations. Each party represents and warrants that: (a) it is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the place of its establishment or incorporation; and (b) it has full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Terms.
- Customer Representations. Customer represents and warrants that: (a) Customer is eligible to register and use the Services; (b) any information provided to First Orion in connection with the Customer Account and the Services is accurate and complete; (c) Customer will comply with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to Customer’s business and its use of the Services (including, without limitation, all applicable laws, rules, and regulations in any way related to calls made by Customer; (d) Customer’s employees, contractors, and agents will at all times act consistently with these Terms; and (e) Customer will not use the Services, directly or indirectly, for any fraudulent or illegal undertaking, or in any manner that interferes with the normal operation of the Services.
- DISCLAIMER. WITHOUT LIMITING A PARTY’S EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 12, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND WE MAKE NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, AND WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INTERNET AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDERS’ NETWORKS ARE INHERENTLY INSECURE. ACCORDINGLY, YOU AGREE WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CHANGES TO, INTERCEPTION OF, OR LOSS OF CUSTOMER DATA WHILE IN TRANSIT VIA THE INTERNET OR TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER’S NETWORK.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in these SENTRY Terms will have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Terms.

“A number” means an outbound calling number for Customer which has been vetted and which is used by the Customer for the Sentry Service.
“B number” means the called party number of a subscriber of a Distribution Partner.

Prior to initiating a call, a Call Authentication request will be used to submit all required data, including the A number and B number pair which will create a unique hashed key. If any call made from an A number in a Sentry Program is not a Verified Call, the Distribution Partner (or its analytics provider) will be advised to block the call.
- Accuracy. Customer acknowledges and agrees that (i) Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy of the information submitted in the Authentication request, and First Orion has no liability related to the delivery of, or failure to deliver, calls made by or on behalf of Customer based on inaccurate information submitted in the Authentication request, and (ii) for A numbers Customer has designated for use with the Sentry Service, in the event a call is made from such numbers without an Authentication request (including calls for which no Authentication request is utilized), the Distribution Partner (or its analytics provider) will be advised to block such calls.
- Agents. Customer may engage a third party to provide the Call Authentication actions to be taken upon origination of a call from Customer’s A number(s). Customer will advise First Orion of the use of any such agents and Customer will be responsible for the agents integrating with First Orion’s Sentry Service so that Customer’s calls can be Authenticated as provided herein. Customer will be solely responsible for the acts or failure to act of its agents.
- Fees. For use of the Sentry Service, Customer will pay First Orion a fee per Verified Call as set forth in the applicable Order. In addition, First Orion will charge Customer a fee of $1.00 per month for each A number manually vetted as described in Section 6(b) of these SENTRY Terms.

Customers using Branded Calling Services authorize First Orion to disclose Branded Calling Data to any applicable Distribution Partner for the purposes of (i) managing call traffic flow, (ii) observing and managing branding activity, (iii) Customer vetting, (iv) providing third tier support for the Services as needed, (v) permitting First Orion to perform the Services to the Customer and (vi) confirming compliance with applicable laws.

Examples of Usage Data include technical logs, metadata, telemetry data, and usage information about Customer Data, such as how many times it is accessed. For clarity, Usage Data excludes Customer Data itself.
7. Use and Suspension
- We may suspend all or any part of the Services if we, in good faith, determine: (a) that you are in breach of any provision of these Terms; (b) that our provision of the Services is prohibited by applicable law or regulation; (c) that there is any use of the Services by you that in our judgment threatens the security, integrity or availability of the Services; (d) that information in your account is or becomes untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or fraudulent; or (e) we reasonably believe that your use of the Services may cause material harm to First Orion, the Services, or other entities using the Services including Distribution Partners.
- The Services may also be suspended in their entirety, at an enterprise level, on a business level, or on an individual telephone number basis in connection with any request or directive by a Distribution Partner. We will notify you immediately in the event suspension is necessary including any required corrective actions if applicable.
- You agree to reasonably cooperate with First Orion in any investigation into any events that resulted in a suspension. You will remain responsible for the Fees (as defined below) during any period of suspension. However, in the event of a suspension that causes a change in the Services that materially effects the fees being charged, Customer and First Orion will meet to discuss any adjustments.
8. Term and Termination
- Term. Unless earlier terminated as provided in these Terms, the term applicable to the Services will be as set forth in the applicable Order. In the event no term is specified, the term shall be month to month, and either Customer or First Orion may terminate at any time, effective as of the end of a month.
- Termination for Material Breach. First Orion may terminate these Terms (including all Order(s)) in the event Customer commits any material breach of these Terms and fails to remedy such material breach within thirty (30) days of the date written notice of such material breach is provided. For the avoidance of doubt, any breach of our Acceptable Use Policy will be considered a material breach of these Terms. Customer may also terminate these Terms (including all Order(s)) in the event First Orion commits a material breach of these Terms and fails to remedy such material breach within thirty (30) days of the date written notice of such material breach is provided.
- Additional Termination Right. We may terminate all or a portion of the Services provided under an Order to the extent a Distribution Partner precludes or materially modifies our ability to provide such Services. We will provide notice of a termination under this section promptly upon becoming aware of the circumstances giving rise to the termination right.
9. Fees and Payments
- Fees. In consideration for the provision of the Services, Customer shall pay the Fees as set forth in each Order between Customer and First Orion. Unless indicated otherwise, Fees are (i) stated in US dollars and (ii) non-cancelable and non-refundable. Except as set forth in an Order, First Orion reserves the right to adjust the Fees by providing written notice to Customer at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term (and such adjusted Fees will take effect upon the applicable renewal).
- Taxes. Customer will be responsible for, and agrees to pay, all sales, use, excise, and value-added taxes, or taxes of a similar nature (excluding personal property taxes and taxes based on First Orion’s income which shall be borne by First Orion) imposed by the United States, any state or local government or other taxing authority, on the use of the Services or Fees paid by Customer under the Order (“Taxes”). Customers exempt from paying certain Taxes must provide necessary exemption information or a valid exemption certificate issued by the appropriate authority via e-mail to accounting@firstorion.com. Once the exemption request is approved, Customer will be exempt on a going-forward basis. If the appropriate authority determines, at any time, that Customer is not exempt from paying any Taxes, Customer will promptly pay such Taxes to First Orion, plus any applicable interest or penalties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, First Orion may specify Fees for Services which are all inclusive of Taxes and in such event the invoice provided to the Customer will state that the invoiced Fees are all inclusive of Taxes. If the Customer is not subject to, or exempt from, all or any portion of the Taxes, for those Fees which are all inclusive of Taxes, there will be no adjustment to the Fees.
- Billing and Payment. Customer acknowledges that the Fees owed First Orion will be invoiced to Customer by Bandwidth in accordance with the terms of the Order and the Customer’s agreement with Bandwidth. For clarity, Customer’s and its Users’ access to the Services is subject to the receipt from Bandwidth of the payment of the applicable Fees paid by Customer to Bandwidth, and should Customer not pay Bandwidth or Bandwidth not pay First Orion, First Orion shall have the right to collect directly from Customer. Customer hereby acknowledges that at any time, at our discretion, the billing of the Fees may be assigned to us, such that Customer shall pay us directly the respective Fees. The amounts paid to First Orion by Bandwidth for Customer’s use of the Services will be deemed the amount paid or payable by Customer for purposes of Section 13, Limitation of Liability..
10. Confidentiality
- Confidential Information. Either party (the “Disclosing Party”) may from time to time disclose Confidential Information to the other party (the “Recipient”). “Confidential Information” is all nonpublic information in any form that is disclosed to either party by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party concerning the business, technology, proprietary software, pricing, business plans, forecasts, marketing information, trade secrets and/or financial performance and strategies of the Disclosing Party which is conveyed to the Recipient orally or in tangible form and is either marked as “confidential” or which, due to the circumstances surrounding its disclosure or its nature or sensitivity, should have been understood by the Recipient as intended to be treated as confidential.
- Obligations. Recipient agrees to hold all Confidential Information in confidence and trust and will not disclose or disseminate, or permit any employee, agent or other party working under Recipient's direction to disclose or disseminate the existence, source, content or substance of any Confidential Information to any other party. Recipient shall use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only as necessary for the performance of this Agreement. Recipient will employ at least the same methods and degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information as Recipient employs with respect to its own confidential trade secrets and proprietary information. Recipient's employees, independent contractors, and agents will be given access to the Confidential Information only on a need-to-know basis and under a duty to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.
- Exceptions. Confidential Information will not include information that: (i) is now generally known or available or which hereafter, through no act or failure to act on the part of Recipient, becomes generally known or available; (ii) is rightfully known to Recipient at the time of receiving such information; (iii) is furnished to Recipient by a third party without restriction on disclosure and without a breach by such third party of any confidentiality undertaking with respect thereto; or (iv) is independently developed by Recipient without the use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Recipient may also disclose Confidential Information if disclosure is required by operation of law or if required by a court, tribunal or administrative agency; provided that, unless prohibited by law, the Recipient shall give the Disclosing Party as much advance written notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances so as to permit the Disclosing Party to take commercially reasonable actions at its own expense to prevent disclosure.
- Remedies. Each party acknowledges that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information and that each party may seek, without waiving any other rights or remedies, such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction. At Disclosing Party's option, Recipient shall promptly either destroy all Confidential Information in tangible form in its possession or return all such copies to Disclosing Party, and in either event provide a written certification confirming the same, promptly upon Disclosing Party's written request.

14. General
- No Waiver and Order of Preference. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right or enforcing any provision under these Terms will constitute a waiver of that right or any provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is asserted to be legally binding. Titles and headings of sections of these Terms are for convenience only and will not affect the construction of any provision of these Terms. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence will be (1) the applicable Order, (2) any applicable Service Specific Terms, (3) these Terms, (4) our Acceptable Use Policy, (5) any other terms incorporated by reference herein, and (6) the applicable Documentation.
- Assignment. You will not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer these Terms or any applicable Order(s), in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms or any applicable Order(s) without our consent will be null and void. We may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer these Terms or any applicable Order(s) in whole or in part, without your consent. Subject to this Section, these Terms and any applicable Order(s) will be binding on each party and each party’s successors and assigns.
- Relationship. The relationship of the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms is intended to create or will be construed as creating an employer-employee relationship or a partnership, agency, joint venture, or franchise. Each party will be solely responsible for its respective employees and agents and all related costs and expenses. Each party will also be solely responsible for any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or defects of any type that may arise on account of each of its respective activities, or those of its respective employees and agents, in the performance of these Terms. Neither party has the authority to commit the other party in any way and will not attempt to do so or imply that it has the right to do so.
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable and, in any event, the rest of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
- Notices and Consent to Electronic Delivery. Notices to us under these Terms will be provided via email to legal@firstorion.com. You agree that we can provide Notices regarding the Services to you through our website, through your Customer Account, or by mailing Notices to the email or physical addresses identified in your account. Notices may include notifications about your account, changes to the Services, or other information we are required to provide to you. You also agree that electronic delivery of a Notice has the same legal effect as if we provided you with a physical copy. We will consider a Notice to have been received by you within 24 hours of the time a Notice is either posted to the Customer Portal or our website or emailed to you.
- Force Majeure. No failure, delay, or default in performance of any obligation of a party will constitute an event of default or breach of these Terms to the extent that such failure to perform, delay, or default arises out of a cause, existing or future, that is beyond the control and without negligence of such party, including action or inaction of governmental, civil, or military authority, fire, strike, lockout, or other labor dispute, flood, terrorist act, war, riot, theft, earthquake or other natural disaster. The party affected by such cause will take all reasonable actions to minimize the consequences of such cause.
- Dispute Resolution. In the event of a disputed claim or controversy arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof other than for disputes, claims, or controversies related to the intellectual property of a party (“Dispute”), each party’s senior representatives will engage in good faith negotiations with the other party’s senior representatives to amicably resolve a Dispute. If parties are unable to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the first request to engage in good faith negotiations or within such other time period as the parties may agree to in writing, then either party may commence binding arbitration under Section 14(h).
- Arbitration
- Binding Arbitration. In the event that there is a dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to statutory or common law claims, the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity of any provision of these Terms, and the determination of the scope or applicability of your agreement to arbitrate any dispute, claim or controversy originating from these Terms, but specifically excluding any dispute principally related to either party’s intellectual property (which such dispute will be resolved in litigation before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas), will be determined by arbitration in Little Rock, Arkansas before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law of the State of Arkansas, exclusive of its conflict or choice of law rules. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provisions in this paragraph referencing applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) will govern any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms. Either party may commence arbitration by providing to the American Arbitration Association and the other party to the dispute a written demand for arbitration setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested.
- Service of Process. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process through personal service at their corporate headquarters, registered address, or primary address (for individuals or sole proprietors). Nothing in these Terms will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
- Class Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the parties agrees that any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim or dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to these Terms or any of the transactions contemplated between the parties.
- Provision of an Award. Subject to the limitations of liability identified in Section 13 of these Terms, the appointed arbitrators may award monetary damages and any other remedies allowed by the laws of the State of Arkansas. In making a determination, the arbitrator will not have the authority to modify any term or provision of these Terms. The arbitrator will deliver a reasoned written decision with respect to the dispute (the “Award”) to each party, who will promptly act in accordance with the Award. Any Award (including interim or final remedies) may be confirmed in or enforced by a state or federal court located in Little Rock, Arkansas. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties and will not be subject to appeal or review.
- Arbitration Fees. Each party will advance one-half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, the costs of the attendance of the arbitration reporter at the arbitration hearing, and the costs of the arbitration facility. In any arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms, the arbitrator will award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with those aspects of its claims or defenses on which it prevails, and any opposing awards of costs and legal fees awards will be offset.
- Confidentiality. The parties will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding, the hearing and the Award, except (i) as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, (ii) in connection with a court application as contemplated above for a preliminary remedy, or confirmation of an Award or its enforcement, (iii) our disclosure of the Award in confidential settlement negotiations, or (iv) as otherwise required by applicable laws. The parties, witnesses, and arbitrator will treat as confidential and will not disclose to any third person (other than witnesses or experts) any documentary or other evidence produced in any arbitration hereunder, except as required by applicable law or except if such evidence was obtained from the public domain or was otherwise obtained independently from the arbitration.
- Conflict of Rules. If any provision of this agreement to arbitrate is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be held to the minimum extent required by law and all the other provisions will remain valid and enforceable.
- Governing Law and Venue. Unless unenforceable under applicable law, these Terms will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws and principles that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply. These Terms will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services will be instituted in the courts of Pulaski County, Arkansas, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.
- Entire Agreement. Except as provided in these Terms and any exhibits or attachments, applicable Order(s), or other terms incorporated by reference into these Terms, these Terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous proposals, statements, sales materials, presentations, or agreements, oral and written. No oral or written information or advice given by us, our agents, or our employees will create a warranty or in any way increase the scope of the warranties or obligations under these Terms. Any term or condition stated in your vendor registration form or registration portal or in any purchase order document or similar document provided by you will be construed solely as evidence of your internal business processes, and the terms and conditions contained thereon will be null and void and have no effect with regard to these Terms between the parties and be non-binding against us even if accepted or signed by us after the date your accept these Terms.
