"These are not cold calls"

When you hover over the solutions options they literally say

"Prospecting: We cold call businesses and generate new leads for you."

Fair. I was referencing the demo and the ToS makes it clear you must have an Established Business Relationship, which means I’m this case it wouldn’t be truly cold as there is a lead and permission to call involved.
"you must have an Established Business Relationship"

They say on the prospecting page:

"UPLOAD YOUR LIST: Upload a list of target businesses to call. We can help you finding one too."

It doesn't sound like you need an Established Business Relationship.

Yeah, it’s not terribly consistent what they require. I do agree they need to call it out more clearly :)
No, they say you need an EBR or other reason. In many jurisdictions, for B2B calls "it can be imagined that they might be interested in our product" is a valid legal reason to cold-call someone.
