In order to request the porting of an Existing Number into its Business Account, the Team’s administrator shall complete all steps listed on the Platform and provide all information requested by the Company, any other relevant service provider and/or third party from time to time.The Team’s administrator agrees to provide accurate and detailed information to the Company, any other relevant service provider, and/or third party in order to port a number into the Team’s Business Account, and the Team’s administrator represents and warrants that such information is and will be at all times accurate, true and up-to-date. The Team acknowledges and agrees that as part of the porting process, the Company, any other relevant service provider and/or third party must, as part of its compliance with applicable laws and industry standards, follow certain processes and that therefore the completion of any number porting request may be delayed for reasons outside of the Company’s control. The Company must, by law, comply with all valid porting requests. Phone numbers may be ported-out of a Business Account in connection with acts or omissions of third parties and the Team acknowledges that: (i) it may be difficult or impossible for the Company to prevent such porting out of numbers from an Account; (ii) the Company may not be able to retrieve a phone number ported out of a Business Account; and (iii) the Company shall not be liable for any such porting out. Upon termination or cancellation of a Business Account, all telephone numbers associated with the Business Account may be released by the Company if such numbers have not been ported to another provider prior to such cancellation or termination. The Team acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for coordinating with its new third-party provider to port out any telephone numbers prior to termination or cancellation of its Business Account and/or termination thereof.
16. TEAM DATA AND PHONE NUMBER RETENTION
The Company shall retain each phone number under the Team’s Business Account for no more than ten (10) days after the termination or cancelation of the Business Account or if the Team’s account is delinquent.
