Customer has agreed to purchase the services ('Services') selected on each individual attached Service Order (collectively, the “Service Orders” and each, a “Service Order”), or authorized telephonically by the customer subject to recorded Third Party Verification, and such additional Services as may be ordered by Customer from BULLSEYE TELECOM from time to time in the future, on these terms and conditions, and such other terms and conditions identified in the Agreement, including the terms set forth in the specific Service Terms and Conditions (“Service Terms and Conditions”), which can be found at www.bullseyetelecom.com. If Customer does not have access to the electronic version of the Service Terms and Conditions, a hard copy will be provided upon request. Customer agrees to comply with all such terms and conditions and to timely pay for all Services. Customer is responsible for verifying that all Customer information on the Service Order is complete and accurate and reflects Customer's intentions. To the extent any terms or conditions in this Master Service Agreement are inconsistent with the terms set forth in the Service Terms and Conditions, the terms set forth in the Service Terms and Conditions will govern.
