("KMA")) for all charges imposed by said governmental agencies for said registrations.
Use of the Services/Adoption of Telephone Solicitation Policy. Dealer acknowledges receipt of OneCommand's KORE Telephone Solicitation Policy (the "Policy"). Prior to using the Services, Dealer agrees to take any and all action necessary to adopt and enforce the Policy , the terms of which are hereby incorporated into this Agreement. Dealer may amend the Policy for its use in connection with the Services, but only according to terms which, upon application to the Services, would be in compliance with applicable laws and only where such amendment is more restrictive than the terms provided in the Policy and/or applicable law (whichever is more restrictive). Dealer shall provide timely written notice of any changes to the Policy to OneCommand. Dealer acknowledges that telephone solicitation is regulated pursuant to federal and state law, and any modifications made by Dealer to the Policy which are less restrictive than applicable law may be in violation of such law. Dealer agrees to comply with all applicable federal and state laws when using the Services, including laws that apply in the state where Dealer calls using the Services are made, as well as laws that apply in states where Dealer calls using the Services are received.

Dealer further agrees that all marketing and other campaigns designed for use with the Services shall be designed solely by Dealer, subject to technical support and a help line that may be available from time to time through OneCommand. Dealer shall have access to recommended best of class scripts of OneCommand in the design of Dealer's KORE consumer telephone campaign by Dealer. Dealer’s failure to strictly follow and enforce the Policy and/or failure to operate in connection with applicable law shall be grounds for termination of this Agreement by OneCommand. No Services fees shall be refundable pursuant to a termination as a result of a violation of this Section, and Dealer agrees to pay, in addition to any other damages resulting from such violation, all remaining Services fees due or to become due through the remainder of the then existing Term as defined in the Agreement. Dealer further covenants to OneCommand to promptly notify OneCommand in writing of all requests that Dealer receives from consumers to be included on Dealer's no-call list, so that the Services will not permit calls to be made to such consumer in respect of the Services. Dealer hereby agrees and acknowledges that OneCommand, or a third party designated by OneCommand, may review and evaluate digitized telephone calls arising from the Services to Dealer's Dealers for internal quality assurance or at Dealer’s request, and may utilize and publish call traffic statistics without identifying Dealer.
Dealer acknowledges and understands that there are strict legal limitations on the sending of pre-recorded or text messages to wireless phone and other wireless devices. Dealer certifies that no calls or text messages will be made to a wireless phone or other wireless device in respect of the Services, unless Dealer has first received advance written consent from each proposed consumer recipient, which consent complies with applicable law. OneCommand agrees that it shall never override the FTC's, any states' or Dealer's specific Do Not call list or KMA's do not call list in performing the Services.
E-Mail/Text Message Policies

Dealer must also provide all Message recipients with the ability to opt-out of receiving future Messages from Dealer as follows:
· by sending a Message to Dealer with “stop” (regarding Text OneCommand) or “unsubscribe" (regarding Email OneCommand), in the text; and
· via the same mechanism as the recipient consents (or opts-in) to receiving Messages from Dealer.
