Hello,
I just purchased a Magic Jack Plus through the 48 hour ½ off sale. I bought it primarily for the ability to use it without needed my computer on to use the Magic Jack. I have had a normal Magic Jack for about a year and a half now with no issues. I received it this afternoon and set it up on my computer first, so that I could register. I’m fairly sure that was required anyway, but I wanted to make sure to transfer my old number. I registered the Magic Jack Plus itself and transferred my old Magic Jack phone number to the new box through the registration process.
Now, whenever I try to call I cannot connect to an outside line. I can receive calls just fine, I’ve tried it with my cell phone and other phones, both landlines and cell phones, on different carriers, and I can hear others and they can hear me normally. In fact I just had a phone call with someone else for over 10 minutes long without any issue.
However whenever I try to dial out I get no luck. I do receive a dial tone, but there’s sometimes a faint clicking type of noise in the background. When I go to the Magic Jack application on my computer to dial a number, it seems to fail the call instantly, the number barely shows up on the field that has by default ‘Enter Number Here to Call’ before it’s wiped clean less than a second later, whether it’s one of my contacts, or whether I’ve typed it in, as soon as I attempt to dial, it seems to instantly try and fail. I’ve tried this with my normal phone that has worked with Magic Jack for over a year and a half, but I’ve also tried it with an old wired phone to see if that was the problem, but no luck. No matter what it seems to fail before it tries, with no ringing on the other end.
I’ve tried this with the Magic Jack plugged into the computer, and plugged directly into the wall and the router. When plugged directly into the router it will get a dial tone, but once I attempt a call it seems to fail instantly. My ISP is with Charter, the modem goes into a wireless router, which goes into a switch, I’ve plugged the Magic Jack Plus into the router, which the diagram that came with the packaging told me to. I have windows xp home with service pack 3 and all the latest updates. I have also tried disabling wireless to no avail. Also tried unintalling/reinstalling it as well.
Can anyone offer any help at all? I’ve heard less than stellar reviews of the Magic Jack support staff so I figured I’d try here first. If there’s any other information I can supply I’m more than happy to. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

1. Description of how the Services work.
The Devices, the magicApp and Associated Software enable the Services, which include a voice over Internet Protocol service feature and text messaging capability (available with the magicApp Premium Service). To enable your use of the Services you must first purchase a Device and download the Associated Software if not already installed on the Device when shipped to you, and/or download the magicApp. You may download the magicApp from the iTunes App Store and the Google Play store. Some enhanced features also require you to purchase additional services or premium plans. In addition, you may need a computer running Microsoft® Windows (7, 8 or 10) or Mac® running MAC OS Lion (10.7.x) or up with a high speed Internet connection and, if you purchase a Device, you may need an available USB port and/or a standard telephone to plug into the Device. The Device and/or Services may work with prior versions of the foregoing operating systems, but we will not be able to provide technical support for any such prior versions. Further, our ability to provide technical support will be limited for older versions of the Device that are no longer capable of receiving software updates. Bear in mind that your use of the Services may be dependent on these requirements and the failure of one may prevent the Services from working. We cannot guarantee that the Services will always function without disruptions, delay or other imperfections. There may be power outages or internet service disruptions and you may experience other disruptions unrelated to the Services, which will interfere with the quality of your Service. You are responsible for obtaining third party products and services required to use the Services (such as a computer with an appropriate operating system and port, high speed internet access and a standard telephone to plug into the Device) and for paying any fees for such third party products and services. The Services may not be compatible with certain equipment, including but not limited to, home security systems, medical monitoring equipment, fax machines, satellite television systems, or computer modems.
2. Ownership and Risk of Loss of Device
You will own the Device or Devices you purchase but not the Associated Software used to access Services with the Device or magicApp, which is provided to you by MVS for your use under this Agreement. You bear all risk of loss of, theft of, casualty to or damage to any Device you purchase from the time of purchase and/or shipment until the time (if any) when it is returned to us in accordance with this Agreement. If, within 30 days after placing your order for the Device directly from the www.magicjack.com website, you are not satisfied with your Device, you may either return it to us for a full refund of the purchase price, minus shipping and handling, or exchange it for a new Device. The full refund or exchange offer is applicable only to the purchase of your first Device. In order to receive a refund or exchange you must request and receive a magicJack RMA number by e-mail and the Device must be returned in its original packaging, and you must pay the expenses of shipping. Request your RMA here https://my.magicjack.com/returns.html. You will receive your refund or your new Device within a reasonable time frame after we receive your package; which is approximately 14 days for an exchange and 45 days for a refund. If you purchased the Device from one of our authorized agents, please contact the distributor or retailer directly to learn about their refund and exchange policy.
3. Internet Communications Feature
a) Incoming Calls:
When you first Register your Device or download the magicApp Premium, as part of the available features, you may elect to choose a unique phone number. A monthly or annual fee will apply if you choose a Premium Number, the terms of which will be disclosed to you prior to you agreeing to a Premium Number. If you are using the magicApp as a companion to your Device, your Device and magicApp will have the same phone number. YMax is the provider of your phone number and/or inbound calls. The phone number chosen by you will be allocated to you provided YMax determines that the number is available and legally permissible. If you are eligible for a phone number, it will be allocated to you as soon as reasonably possible after YMax has received your request. Premium Numbers are not permanently assigned to your account until after the first 30 days of use. YMax may use customized ringtones or ring back when completing your calls, including supplying various messages of different lengths. YMax does not guarantee that a requested phone number can be allocated to you or that you can make use of the incoming call feature. The allocation of a phone number to you does not constitute any transfer of title, ownership, license or other rights with regard to the phone number. If you transfer or port out your phone number to another service provider, your Service is terminated and you relinquish all claims for a refund of Service(s) fees paid for your then current Subscription Term. YMax may, without any liability, refuse, change or terminate any phone number at any time. If YMax changes the phone number that has been allocated to you, YMax will notify you, stating the effective date of the change and your new phone number. If you do not wish to accept this new phone number, you are entitled to cancel this Agreement; however, you will not be eligible for any refund unless you terminate the Agreement within 30 days after purchase of your Device or download of the magicApp Premium and you qualify for a refund as further described in Section 2 of this Agreement. We will not be liable for any damages resulting from the change of the phone number.
b) Outgoing Calls:
When you Register your Device, you may now elect to choose the feature allowing you to make free outgoing calls over the internet. You can make free calls to other Device or magicApp users located anywhere in the world, and to traditional telephone networks or wireless networks in the United States (other than Alaska), Canada (other than Yukon and the Northwest Territories). International calls and calls to Alaska, and the Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada to non-Device or magicApp users will require purchase of prepaid international calling service. magicjack, LP allows outbound calling capability which in turn may use YMax as the provider of outbound calling services to subscribers on traditional telephone or wireless networks in the United States and Canada, or for toll free calls, and/or for international calls. We may supply various messages of different lengths before your call is completed. Some restrictions in cost prohibitive areas may apply. You will not have the ability to call any number that would require the addition of any charges to your phone bill, such as 900 or 976 numbers or any other “fee per call” type service. Calls of long duration may be terminated to make sure the integrity of the network is kept intact, which would prevent abandoned calls.
4. What Is Free and What is Not:
A Device or magicApp allows you to receive incoming calls. If you choose outgoing service, the Device or magicApp allows you to make outgoing calls to other Device or magicApp users located anywhere in the world and to traditional telephone networks or cellular networks in the United States (other than Alaska) and Canada (other than the Yukon and Northwest Territories) for no additional charge. Outgoing calls do not include non-8YY accessed calling card, platform, conference or chat lines. We may require prepaid purchase and/or we may charge you for calls to conference lines, platforms and certain other high cost calls, or any call wherein we incur a cost from another carrier. We may provide for a fee, premium prepaid services, which may be powered by YMax, and may include some inbound, international, conference, platform and outbound calls that receive a recording and certain calls to high cost areas, and the rates for those services will be governed by listed price lists or tariffs and billed in full minute increments. Charges may apply to use the call forwarding feature, if available. MVS may make available to you, for an additional fee, enhanced versions of the Associated Software (“Upgraded Software”) that provide new features and functions. “magicApp Basic” is a free download with limited capabilities including free calls to Devices and magicApp users around the world. “magicApp Premium” is a paid download that provides you with greater calling capabilities including a dedicated U.S. phone number and texting to U.S. mobile numbers with texting capability located in the U.S.. Texting to Canadian Numbers is not available. magicApp Premium is included at no additional cost to Device users for the applicable term of Service for such Device. For each Device account, you may download magicApp Premium as a companion App to either a single iTunes account or a single Google Play account.
5. Emergency calls:
Please read carefully and understand the difference between Devices and the magicApp.
magicApp does not provide any emergency calling or texting capability.
magicApp – No Emergency Calls or Texts. magicApp does NOT support any emergency calls or texts to 911. magicApp is not a traditional telephone service or a replacement for your primary telephone service. There are important differences between traditional telephone services and the magicApp Associated Software and Service. You need to make additional arrangements to call or text 911. It is your responsibility to use the wireless 911 feature of your smart phone or purchase, elsewhere, traditional wireless or fixed line telephone services that offer access to 911. It is your responsibility to inform all users that may use the magicApp Associated Software that you have downloaded, that it is not possible to support or carry 911 calls or texts using the magicApp Associated Software and products, and that they may access emergency services via the additional arrangements that you have made available.
Device 911 calling Service – The Service is not a traditional telephone service and we are not required to provide you with access to 911, E911, or similar access to emergency services. However, when you Register your Device, you may enroll in 911 service if you register a United States 911 address for United States telephone numbers or a Canadian 911 address for Canadian Numbers. magicJack, LP may take commercially reasonable steps to provide you with emergency service calling only for your registered 911 address. If you are a new customer and you are using the Device in the United States or Canada, you must provide a valid 911 address during Registration or your Service will not be activated. If you are an existing customer you must give us a valid 911 address in your my.magicjack.com account in order for 911 service to be active. You must update this address whenever you change the location from which you place your calls. You agree that each and every time you change the physical location of where you are using a Device, you will update the Emergency Services record at my.magicjack.com and provide the new address where you are using the Device. Your 911 service may take up to seven (7) days to work after Registration but refer to your 911 status at my.magicjack.com for more details.
You understand and agree that access to 911 may be provided to you as a convenience. If you choose to use the same phone number for two or more Devices, you will have 911 emergency dialing on all Devices, but possibly only the first Device Registered with the phone number will be associated with the registered 911 address you provide. The Company will not be liable for any damages resulting from any 911 call. You understand that the 911 service will not work in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to: when you relocate your computer or Device to a new physical location without updating your registered location; if you use a non-native telephone number; if you experience broadband connection failure; if you experience loss of electrical power at your location; if delays occur in the system making updates of your registered physical location. You assume the risk that you may not obtain emergency service when you dial 911. You should always have an alternative means of accessing 911 such as a landline or mobile telephone. It is your responsibility to inform others who use your Device to make phone calls that they should be prepared to access 911 through a traditional landline or mobile telephone.
magicJack E911 services will not operate outside of the United States and Canada.
911 Billing; Additional Fees – We have agreed with certain emergency communications districts to bill you via e-mail to collect the charges imposed by them for your ability to dial 911 services. Such charges are in addition to any fees paid by you for the Device, the magicApp or the Services. It is important that you pay such charges pursuant to the instructions included in any bills you receive. If you do not pay this government-imposed charge, the emergency communications district in your jurisdiction may seek to collect any amounts from you directly. We do not profit at all from your 911 services and the funds we collect are turned over to the appropriate government authority pursuant to their requirements.
6. Proper Use; Suspicion of Fraud:
Subject to Section 27 of this Agreement, you agree that you are responsible for your own communications and for any consequences that arise from them. You agree that you will use the Services in compliance with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations and you may have to pay certain taxes or fees or surcharges. Among other things you will not, and will not authorize or encourage any third party to: (a) prevent others from using their Service, (b) use the Service for any fraudulent or inappropriate purpose, (c) remove any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notices contained in or on the Devices and/or magicApp, including those of any of our business associates, from whom we may have licensed certain components used in the Devices and/or magicApp, (d) collect or harvest any personally identifiable information, including phone number, from the Service, or use the communication systems provided by the Service for any commercial solicitation or spam purposes and/or (e) spam, or solicit for commercial purposes, any users of the Service. Violation of any of these obligations may result in immediate termination of this Agreement, and may subject you to state and federal penalties and other legal consequences. The Company reserves the right, but will have no obligation, to investigate your use of the Device, magicApp, or the Associated Software in order (a) to determine whether a violation of the Agreement has occurred or (b) to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. We may monitor your use of the Service for violations of this Agreement. We may terminate your use of the Device and/or magicApp and/or Associated Software immediately if we suspect a violation of this Agreement, or if we think it necessary to protect other customers or our respective, parents, affiliates, directors, officers, agents, and employees from harm. If we become aware of unreasonably excessive use, including but not limited to, a customer whose usage is extraordinarily greater than the average Device or magicApp customer usage, or a customer who calls more than 50 different telephone numbers per day, or a customer who forwards calls from their Device and/or magicApp to a non-Company number for longer than a two week consecutive period, or systematic or intentional misuse, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate your use of the Device and/or magicApp and/or Associated Software immediately, and you will not be entitled to get a refund of any licensing fee or any other fee you may have paid to us. We reserve the right to reclaim any telephone number that does not make a call for 90 consecutive days. In the event that we reclaim a phone number and your Service under this Agreement is still active, you may choose another phone number.
You also agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” etc. or “load testers”, including without limitation, wget, apache bench, mswebstress, httpload, blitz, Xcode Automator, Android Monkey, etc., that accesses the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the Company’s servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using the Service, and you are forbidden from ripping the content unless specifically allowed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the website for the sole purpose of creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials. The Company reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases. While we do not disallow the use of sniffers such as Ethereal, tcpdump or HTTPWatch in general, we do not permit any efforts to reverse-engineer our system, our protocols, or explore outside the boundaries of the normal requests made by Company clients. We do not permit the use of request modification tools, including without limitation, fiddler or whisker, or any other such tools activities that are meant to explore or harm, penetrate or test the site. You must secure our permission before you measure, test, health check or otherwise monitor any network equipment, servers or assets hosted on our domain.
We reserve the right to not authorize or settle any transaction you submit which we believe is in violation of this Agreement, any other agreement between you and the Company, or exposes you, other Device or magicApp users’, financial services providers, or the Company to harm or unnecessary risk, including but not limited to fraud and other criminal acts. You grant us authorization to share information with law enforcement about you, your transactions, or your Device or magicApp account if we reasonably suspect that use of your Device or magicApp account has been used for an unauthorized, illegal, or criminal purpose.
We may disclose your personal information to law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties if: (i) we are compelled to do so by subpoena, court order or other legal process; (ii) we must do so to comply with laws, statutes, rules or regulations; (iii) we believe in good faith that the disclosure is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal or unauthorized activity, or to investigate violations of this Agreement.

25. Mandatory Binding Arbitration; Forum:
This section describes what rights you and The Company possess if you and The Company have a dispute.
- Providing Notice of a Claim.
- You and the Company agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us (“Disputes or Claims”). This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:
- Disputes or Claims related in any way to the Device, magicApp, Services, Associated Software, billing, privacy, advertising, or the Company’s communications with you;
- Disputes or Claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;
- Disputes or Claims that arose before your Registration of your Device and/or Service;
- Disputes or Claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
- Disputes or Claims that may arise after the termination of your Service(s).
- A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). Notice to The Company must be sent to The Company’s customer service address at: magicJack – 931 Village Blvd, Suite 905, Box No. 386, West Palm Beach, FL 33409.
- The Notice must include (a) the nature and basis of your Dispute or Claim; (b) identification or enclosure of all relevant documents and information; and (c) a description of the specific relief that you seek from the Company.
- You and the Company agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us (“Disputes or Claims”). This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:
- Providing the Company an Opportunity to Informally Resolve Your Dispute.
- Before you may pursue or participate in any Dispute or Claim (or raise such Dispute or Claim as a defense) in small claims court or in arbitration against the Company, you must first send the Notice described above, and you must allow the Company a reasonable opportunity to resolve your Dispute or Claim.
- After the Company receives your Notice, you and the Company agree to negotiate in good faith with each other to try to resolve your Dispute or Claim.
- If you and the Company do not reach a resolution of your Dispute or Claim within thirty (30) days after the Company receives your written Notice, you may pursue your Dispute or Claim in arbitration or, solely to the extent specifically provided below, in small claims court.
- Agreement to Participate in Binding Arbitration.
- If you and the Company cannot reach an informal resolution to the Dispute or Claim within thirty (30) days after the Company’s receipt of your Notice, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding by sending an arbitration demand (“Arbitration Demand”) to the following address: magicJack – 931 Village Blvd, Suite 905, Box No. 386, West Palm Beach, FL 33409. The parties agree to arbitrate any Dispute or Claim between the parties, except to the extent either party chooses to instead pursue the Dispute or Claim in small claims court as provided below.
- Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.
- Except as otherwise provided herein, upon you or the Company filing an Arbitration Demand, the Company will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees, unless your Dispute or Claim exceeds $75,000 (exclusive of any filing, administration, arbitrator, or attorneys’ fees or other fees or expenses). If you initiate an arbitration in which you seek more than $75,000 (exclusive of any filing, administration, arbitrator, or attorneys’ fees or other fees or expenses) in damages, the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”) will govern the payment of these fees.
- The AAA Rules, as modified by these Terms of Service, will govern the arbitration. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
- If your Dispute or Claim is for $10,000 or less (exclusive of any filing, administration, arbitrator, or attorneys’ fees or other fees or expenses), the Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules. If your Dispute or Claim exceeds $10,000 (exclusive of any filing, administration, arbitrator, or attorneys’ fees or other fees or expenses), the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.
- Unless the Company and you agree otherwise in writing, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) in which your most recent billing address (as provided to the Company) is located.
- One arbitrator, who is selected under the AAA Rules and who has expertise in consumer disputes in the wireless industry, will conduct the arbitration. If no arbitrator possessing such expertise is available, then the arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who is selected by the mutual written approval of you and the Company. Except as allowed under applicable law and the AAA Rules, the decisions of the arbitrator will be binding and conclusive on all parties. Judgment upon any award of the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. This provision will be specifically enforceable in any court. THE ARBITRATOR MUST FOLLOW THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES).
- All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a court to decide.
- Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
- Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Dispute or Claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Also, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
- The Company agrees that it will not seek any award of attorneys’ fees, even if it is entitled to such fees.
- The arbitrator may make any determinations and resolve any Dispute or Claim as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, the Alternative Payment, or the Attorney Fee Premium at any time during the proceeding and within fourteen (14) days after the arbitrator’s final ruling on the merits.
- The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
- YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT:
- ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. NEITHER YOU NOR THE COMPANY SHALL BE A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL DISPUTE OR CLAIM.
- UNLESS BOTH PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S DISPUTES OR CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
- THE COMPANY DOES NOT CONSENT TO CLASS ARBITRATION. ACCORDINGLY, IF A COURT REFUSES TO ENFORCE THE ABOVE PROVISIONS REGARDING CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, THEN THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE UNENFORCEABLE AS TO YOU. WHETHER A DISPUTE OR CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
- This arbitration agreement covers any Dispute or Claim arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and the Company, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, even if the Dispute or Claim arises or may arise before or after the period(s) during which you are receiving the Company Services. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
- You or the Company must bring any Dispute or Claim arising out of or related to the Rules, or the relationship between you and the Company, within two (2) years after the Dispute or Claim arises, or the Dispute or Claim will be permanently barred. To the extent the law applicable under the Governing Law section below makes this limitations period unenforceable with respect to any Dispute(s) or Claim(s), then the statutes of limitations of the state whose laws govern the Rules under the Governing Law section below shall apply.
- The Company may make changes to this arbitration provision during the term of our services to you. You may reject any material changes by sending the Company written objection within thirty (30) days of the change to the magicJack – 931 Village Blvd, Suite 905, Box No. 386, West Palm Beach, FL 33409, Attention Legal Department. By rejecting any future material change, you are agreeing to arbitrate in accordance with the language of this provision.
- Small Claims Court. You may choose to pursue your Dispute or Claim in small claims court rather than by arbitration if your Dispute or Claim qualifies for small claims court in a location where jurisdiction and venue over you and the Company is proper. If you choose to pursue your Dispute or Claim in small claims court, the limitations of liability set forth in Section 16 of this Agreement shall apply to such Dispute or Claim.
