Resellers may not make representations on behalf of the Company without prior written approval.


PORTING AND OWNERSHIP

  1. Phone numbers are initially parked as landlines through various VOIP providers and made available for purchase. All sales are subject to the parking provider’s release of the number. If a number cannot be released, the Customer will receive a full refund, and the Company shall be held harmless from any liability arising from such unforeseen circumstances. Customers must not order promotional materials or advertise their new number until ownership has been confirmed.
  2. No service plan or SIM card is included with the purchase. Upon completion of a purchase, the Company will email instructions on how to initiate the port to the Customer’s current provider. Customers may port (transfer) the number to their chosen carrier, including landline, mobile, or VOIP providers. It is the Customer’s responsibility to confirm with their preferred carrier that the selected number(s) will be accepted prior to purchase.
  3. The Company does not charge a porting fee. Customers must complete the port within 30 days of purchase; failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the number. Ports typically take between 2–10 days to complete, though delays may occur. Customers should not order promotional materials or advertise their new number until ownership is confirmed.
  4. Customers may choose to leave numbers “Parked” or use “Call Forwarding.” No voicemail service is included. Customers may port out at any time; there are no hidden fees and no contract. However, if monthly fees are not paid, the number will be forfeited unless ported out.
  5. Not all numbers are transferable to all carriers. Customers must confirm carrier acceptance before purchasing. A Customer or their authorized agent (“Requesting Party”) may request that the Company port a number assigned to the Customer to a third‑party provider (“Port‑Out”). The Company will support such requests and cooperate with the Requesting Party in accordance with reasonable directions and the Company’s standard operating procedures with its carriers.
  6. Until the Port‑Out is complete and Parking or Forwarding Service is terminated, the Customer remains bound by the Terms of Service and this Addendum. Once the Port‑Out is complete, the Customer must terminate the associated Voice Services to stop incurring charges. The Customer remains responsible for all monthly service fees, taxes, governmental fees, and other charges incurred up to the date of termination.


REFUND and EXCHANGES POLICY

  • All sales of phone numbers and services through Number Shack are final. The Company does not provide refunds, returns, or exchanges under any circumstances. Any prior references to a 30‑day money‑back guarantee are void and unenforceable for purchases made on or after April 12, 2026.


NUMBER WAREHOUSING/HOARDING

  • The Company does not warehouse or hoard telephone numbers, as defined by the FCC.
  • Search results displayed by the Company include phone numbers aggregated from multiple sources and refined through our proprietary search algorithm. In general, the Company does not own or hold title to listed telephone numbers until a bona fide subscriber establishes service through our website.
  • Activation (setup) fees are not to be construed as the “purchase price” of a phone number. These fees cover the development and operational costs of our search engine service, as well as expenses associated with service establishment through our underlying carriers and vendors.
  • Although rare, inventory reported may occasionally be unavailable due to database timing or other factors. Because availability is not guaranteed, Customers should make no assumptions about numbers ordered until the Company confirms the order is complete and the Customer has placed a test call to verify operation. The Company’s liability for unavailable numbers is limited to the amount paid for the number, and the Company is not responsible for consequential damages such as printing or marketing costs.
  • Once a number is provisioned and operating properly, it becomes part of the Company’s service and may be used, ported away, or canceled, subject to our Terms of Use.
  • Telephone numbers that are canceled or suspended due to non‑payment may be re‑listed on our search engine or returned to the available pool of numbers at the Company’s sole discretion.


CREDIT CARD CHARGE-BACK

  1. If a Customer initiates a charge‑back with their credit card company for purchases made through Number Shack, the Company will treat this action as a breach of contract and will pursue all available remedies. The Customer agrees to reimburse the Company for any charge‑back fees assessed by the credit card issuer.
  2. The Customer further agrees to cover all reasonable legal and collection expenses incurred by the Company, including but not limited to attorney fees, paralegal services, collection agency costs, and court filing fees. The Company reserves the right to seek judgment in Small Claims Court to recover these amounts.


GENERAL

  1. The Customer acknowledges that any breach of the ownership provisions in this Agreement will cause the Company irreparable harm. In such cases, the Company may seek injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
  2. The Customer shall not transfer or assign this Agreement or any rights under it. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation of this section shall be void.
  3. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, permitted assigns, and legal representatives. The Company’s failure to exercise any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of those rights, nor shall it affect the validity of this Agreement.
  4. The provisions relating to intellectual property ownership, restrictions on use or disclosure of the Services, disclaimers of warranties, limitations of liability, and indemnification shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.
  5. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.
  6. Section titles are provided for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
  7. California Consumer Rights Notice 
  8. Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users of the Service are entitled to the following notice: The Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1020 N Street, #501, Sacramento, California 95814, or by telephone at 1‑916‑445‑1254.


LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

  • In no event shall the Company be liable to the Customer or any third party for special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, whether arising under contract, warranty, tort (including negligence or strict liability), or any other theory of liability.
  • The Company’s total liability for damages, regardless of the form of action, shall not exceed the license fee, if any, paid by the Customer for the Services.
  • This limitation of liability reflects the allocation of risk between the parties. The limitations set forth in this Section shall survive and remain enforceable even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is deemed to have failed of its essential purpose.
  • Certain jurisdictions do not allow specific limitations of liability; therefore, some of the foregoing limitations may not apply to the Customer.


INDEMNIFICATION

  • The Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), and damages arising out of:
  1. Any negligent acts or omissions by the Customer
  2. Any willful misconduct by the Customer
  3. The Customer’s use of the Services
  4. Any breach of this Agreement by the Customer


CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGMENT

  1. By accessing or using NumberShack.com, making a purchase, opening an account, or engaging with our customer service channels (including email, live chat, fax, phone, or text), the Customer confirms that they have read, understood, and consented to these Terms and Conditions.
  2. The Company reserves the right to modify its website, services, policies, and these Terms of Service at any time. Continued use of the Company’s services constitutes acceptance of any such modifications and binds the Customer to the updated Agreement.
  3. Customers who do not agree to these Terms of Service must refrain from using the Company’s services or making purchases.
