II.2 Excessive number of calls

Users concur not to use the Call Button for any use which fails to conform with the purpose of the services proposed by CPM SARL.
In order to avoid Souk El Arab' advertising-supplying customers from receiving spam or unnecessary calls via the automatic Call Button, CPM SARL has established the subsequent regulations for automatic call barring, without prejudice to any legal action taken.
etc.

1. Case 1: a sole user who makes an extreme quantity of calls to Souk El Arab' advertising & suppliers customers during a given period of time may be banned from using the call button. Calls will be barred automatically.

2. Case 2: A sole user who uses numerous different telephone numbers to call Souk El Arab' advertising & suppliers-customers during a given period of time may be banned from using the call button. Calls will be barred automatically.
In the 1st and 2nd cases, call barring is provisional and will be removed automatically.
In the event of frequent misuse, CPM SARL reserves the right to lengthen the duration of call barring or make it permanent. In this case, call barring can only be removed further to a precise request made by the advertising-supplier customer or with the latter's unequivocal authorization. CPM SARL reserves the right to decline to remove call barring in the event of obvious frequent misuse.
Permanent or temporary call barring or removal of the button may not give rise to any refund of the aforementioned button/service.

II.3 Barring on the advertising-supplying customer request

Any meddling with the system, the code linked to the button or any abuse of the button by users or advertising-supplying customers for any usage other than that predetermined above will lead to automatic call barring and in certain cases its elimination by CPM SARL. In this case, removal of call barring or reintegrating the button in the ad must be specifically requested by the advertising-supplying customer. CPM SARL reserves the right to reject to remove call barring or reintegrate the button in ad in the event of apparent repeated misuse.
Permanent Temporary call barring or removal of the button/service may not give rise to any refund of the aforementioned button.
