The user is the initiator of the text messages sent and causes the texts to be sent at the time of the user’s choosing.
The text messages sent to the recipient will not appear to come from your phone number. However, PCA does not and cannot guarantee that the identity, telephone number, email address, or other personal information for the user will never be disclosed to the recipient. It is PCA’s policy to disclose such information on request from the recipient. Accordingly, you will not necessarily remain anonymous.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, PCA does not share your email address information or the recipient’s phone number you provide with third parties.
COOKIE POLICY. To enhance your experience on the Website, our web pages use “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that we place in your computer’s browser to store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your email address or other personal information unless you choose to provide this information to us through the Service. Once you choose to provide a web page with personal information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. A cookie is like an identification card. It is unique to your computer and can only be read by the server that gave it to you.

Web beacons may be used to deliver cookies that conform with this Cookie Policy.
XII. APPLICABLE LAW, VENUE, AND NOTICES
APPLICABLE LAW. By using the Service, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, govern these Terms and any dispute that might arise between you and PCA.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act shall not apply to these Terms.
VENUE. Subject to the mandatory arbitration provision below, you agree to submit to the exclusive and personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Volusia County, Florida.
NOTICES. Any notices to PCA must be sent via first class mail or overnight courier, and are deemed given upon receipt by:
Prank Calling Apps, LLC

XIII. MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTIONS WAIVER
MANDATORY ARBITRATION. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, OR TO ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD OR DISTRIBUTED BY PCA, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would.
Any arbitration proceeding will take place in Volusia County, Florida, subject to the laws of the State of Florida, and will otherwise be governed by the then-current commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the parties hereto expressly waive their rights, if any, to have any such matters heard by a court or jury, or administrative agency, whether federal or state. The parties in any arbitration to enforce this Agreement or remedy its breach will equally share the costs associated with such arbitration proceedings; provided, that, each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees. Within fourteen (14) days after the commencement of arbitration, the parties shall select one mutually-agreeable arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree upon the arbitrator, the alternative dispute resolution provider shall select the arbitrator.
Any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
CLASS ACTIONS WAIVER. WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You hereby acknowledge that class actions and class arbitrations are prohibited. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
XIV. MISCELLANEOUS
These Terms represent the complete agreement between you and PCA concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersede any prior agreements and representations, whether oral, written, or otherwise, between the parties.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be severed or reformed to the maximum extent permissible to make it enforceable and so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
A waiver by PCA of any of the Terms or of any breach by you, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other of the Terms or of any subsequent breach by you.
This Agreement and these Terms do not create any legal relationship between the parties other than as contracting parties.  These Terms shall be binding on the parties’ respective successors, assigns, heirs, and estates.
