2. 911 EMERGENCY DIALING
PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING 911 VERY CAREFULLY. BY ACTIVATING AND PAYING FOR THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE LIMITATIONS OF VOIP2320'™S 911 EMERGENCY DIALING SERVICE, AND UNDERSTAND THE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN SUCH SERVICE AND TRADITIONAL 911 or E911 CALLS.


VOIP2320 Basic 911 or Enhanced 911 (E911) service ("VOIP2320 911 SERVICE") is different than traditional 911 land line service.


2.1 Most of VOIP2320 customers in the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii, have access to basic 911 or Enhanced 911 (E911) service. Enhanced 911 (E911) service is available for all U.S. customers who register a valid E911 service address.


With E911 service, when you dial 911, your telephone number and registered address is simultaneously sent to the local emergency center assigned to your location, and emergency operators have access to the information they need to send help and call you back if necessary. If you live in locations where the emergency center is not equipped to receive your telephone number and address, you have basic 911. With basic 911, the local emergency operator answering the call will not have your call back number or your exact location, so you must be prepared to give them this information. Until you give the operator your phone number and location, he/she may not be able to call you back or dispatch help if the call is not completed or is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak.


As additional local emergency centers become capable of receiving our customers' telephone number and address information, customers will need to register a valid E911 service address to upgrade the service to E911. VOIP2320 will not inform you that new local emergency centers have been added. If your address is not covered by E911 service, VOIP2320 advises you to attempt to register your address periodically to determine if a new local emergency center has been added to your area.


Certain customers do not have access to either basic 911 or E911 because there are no local emergency centers in their area or they did not register for an E911 service address. If you do not have access to basic 911 or E911, your 911 call will be sent to the national emergency call center. A trained agent at the emergency call center will ask for the name, telephone number and location of the customer calling 911, and then contact the local emergency center for such customer in order to send help.


Examples of situations where 911 calls will be sent to the national emergency call center include when there is a problem validating a customer's address during 911 address registration, the customer is identified with an international location, or the customer is located in an area that is not covered by the landline 911 network.


Emergency personnel do not receive your phone number or physical location when your 911 call is routed to a national emergency call center. Therefore, you must be prepared to give the operator your phone number and location and any other information that the operator might request. For the 911 calls which are answered by a national emergency call center, the fee for the first 911 call within a 12 month period will be waived. Subsequent 911 calls answered by a national emergency call center within the 12 month period will be charged $100.00 per call even if the call was the result of a mistake such as misdialing.


You authorize the national emergency call center to disclose your name and address to the third party or parties involved with providing emergency services to you, including, without limitation, call routers, call centers and local emergency centers.

2.3 Notify All Users
You are responsible for informing any household residents, guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize the VOIP2320 911 SERVICE of the important differences in and limitations of VOIP2320 911 SERVICE as compared with traditional 911 land line or cell phone service.

2.4 Registration of Physical Location Required
For each primary phone number that you use for the Service, you must register with VOIP2320 the physical location where you will be using the Service with that phone number. When you move the Device to another location, you must register your new location. If you do not register your new location, any 911 calls you make using the VOIP2320 911 SERVICE may be sent to an emergency center near your old address. You must register your initial location of use when you subscribe to the Service.


Thereafter, you may register a new location by following the instructions from the "911" registration link in your VOIP2320 Account Portal. For purposes of the VOIP2320 911 SERVICE, you may only register one location at a time for each primary phone line you use with the Service.

2.5 Re-Registration Required if You Change Your Number or Add or Port New Numbers
VOIP2320 911 SERVICE does not function if you change your phone number or if you add or port new phone numbers to your account, unless and until you successfully register your location of use for each changed, newly added or newly ported phone number and receive confirmation from VOIP2320.

2.6 Confirmation of Activation Required
Your VOIP2320 911 SERVICE will not be activated for any phone line that you are using with the Service, unless and until you receive an email from VOIP2320 confirming that the VOIP2320 911 SERVICE has been activated for that primary phone number. The activation may take up to three days to complete.

2.7 Service Outages
Unlike traditional 911 land line service, the VOIP2320 911 SERVICE can FAIL for a number of reasons. The reasons are as follows


a. An electrical power outage.

b. Internet outage, including loss of connectivity, suspension or termination by your broadband or Internet service provider, the blocking of ports by your broadband or Internet service provider and Local Area Network issues.

c. Termination of your VOIP2320 Services/Account.

d. In addition, a local or national disaster and subsequent spike in the number of calls may result in long connection times, busy signals or failures to connect.


You acknowledge and understand that the Service and VOIP2320 911 Service does not function in the event of power failure. Should there be an interruption in the power supply, the Service and VOIP2320 911 Service will not function until power is restored. A power failure or disruption may require the Customer to reset or reconfigure the Device and other CPE equipment prior to using the Service and VOIP2320 911. You also acknowledge and understand that the Service and VOIP2320 911 Service requires a fully functional broadband connection to the Internet (which is not provided by VOIP2320) and that, accordingly, in the event of an outage of, or termination of broadband service with or by your Internet service provider ("ISP") and/or broadband provider, the Service and VOIP2320 911 Service will not function. If there is an interruption in the power supply and/or an ISP/broadband outage, the Service and VOIP2320 911 Service will not function until the power supply is restored and/or the ISP/broadband outage fixed.


You acknowledge that VOIP2320 is not responsible for any service outage related to the loss of electrical power, connectivity, suspension or termination by your broadband or Internet service provider, the blocking of ports by your broadband or Internet service provider, suspension or termination of your VOIP2320 Services/Account or any failures resulting from local or national disasters.
2.8 Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification.


You acknowledge and understand that VOIP2320 will not be liable for any Service outage and/or inability to dial 911 using the VOIP2320 Service or to access emergency service personnel due to the characteristics and limitation of the VOIP2320 Service as set forth in this document. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless VOIP2320, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to you in connection with the Service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party user of the Service relating to the failure or outage of the Service, including those related to the VOIP2320 911 SERVICE.


In addition, VOIP2320 does not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using the VOIP2320 911 SERVICE are answered or addressed by any local emergency response center. VOIP2320 disclaims all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centers and the national emergency calling center.

7. CHARGES / PAYMENTS / DEFAULT / TAXES / TERMINATION


7.1 Billing
You must give us a valid credit card number when the Service is activated. If the card expires, you close your account or your billing address changes, or the card is cancelled and replaced owing to loss or theft, you must advise VOIP2320 at once by changing your credit card information in your account portal. We will bill all charges monthly to your credit card, including but not limited to: activation fees, monthly Service fees, surcharges, applicable taxes, disconnection fees, international usage charges, advanced feature charges, equipment purchases and shipping and handling charges. VOIP2320 reserves the right to bill at more frequent intervals if the amount due at any time exceeds US$25.00. You may not pay by credit card, however, if you have five (5) or more VOIP2320 accounts, in which case you must pay by check or wire transfer into a VOIP2320 Master Account.


7.1.1 “One Time Use” or Disposable Credit Cards
VOIP2320 strictly prohibits the use of “one time use” or disposable credit cards. If you use such a card to activate the VOIP2320 Service and such use results in VOIP2320 not being able to collect charges for the Service, you will be subject to a $500.00 fee as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, plus any reasonable in-house or outside counsel attorney’s fees incurred by VOIP2320 to collect such unpaid charges and liquidated damages.


7.2 Billing Disputes
You must notify VOIP2320 in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your credit card statement or from the time funds are debited from your VOIP2320 Master Account if you dispute any VOIP2320 charges on that statement or that have been debited from your VOIP2320 Master Account, or such dispute will be deemed waived. Notification of all billing disputes shall be sent to the following address:

Lone Tree, CO 80124

7.3 Payment
VOIP2320 only accepts payments by credit card, unless you have five (5) or more accounts as explained above. Your initial use of the Service authorizes VOIP2320 to charge all amounts due VOIP2320 as stated in the Agreement on the credit card account number on file with VOIP2320, or on any other credit card provided by Customer if the original card expires or is replaced. This authorization will remain valid until 30 days after VOIP2320 receives your written notice terminating VOIP2320's authority to charge your credit card. VOIP2320 may terminate your Service at any time, in its sole discretion, if any charge to your credit card on file with VOIP2320 is declined or reversed, if your credit card expires and you have not provided VOIP2320 with a new valid and approved credit card, or in case of any other non-payment of account charges. Termination of Service for a declined or expired credit card, reversed charges or non-payment leaves you fully liable to VOIP2320 for all charges accrued before termination and for costs incurred by VOIP2320 to collect all monies owed by Customer, such as (but not limited to) collection costs and in house or outside attorneys’ fees as defined is Section 1.3.1. VOIP2320 may make billing adjustments for the Service retroactively for a period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the date a Service is rendered if they are made within two (2) months of VOIP2320’s receipt of any invoice for the payment of additional fees and charges imposed by law.


If you have five (5) or more VOIP2320 accounts, you must maintain a VOIP2320 Master Account to pay the monthly Service fees. You must maintain a minimum balance of at least 150% of the total of the monthly Service fees in your VOIP2320 Master Account. You must fund your VOIP2320 Master Account by check or by wire transfer and not by credit card. You may monitor your VOIP2320 Master Account on your VOIP2320 Master Account portal. In the event that the available funds in your VOIP2320 Master Account balance falls to within 20% of the minimum balance, VOIP2320 will take reasonable steps to email you a notice to remind you to replenish your VOIP2320 Master Account. However, you are wholly responsible for ensuring that you have adequate available funds in your VOIP2320 Master Account at all times, and VOIP2320 will not be responsible if any warning emails are not sent out or are not received. VOIP2320 may terminate your Service at any time, in its sole discretion, if you have failed to replenish your VOIP2320 Master Account with funds adequate to i) maintain the minimum balance, and ii) pay any outstanding amounts due, and iii) cover all charges for monthly Services.


7.4 Termination/Discontinuance of Service
VOIP2320 reserves the right to suspend or discontinue providing the Service generally, or to terminate your Service, at any time in its sole discretion. If VOIP2320 discontinues providing the Service generally, or terminates or suspends your Service in its discretion without a stated reason, you will only be responsible for charges accrued through the date of termination, including a pro-rated portion of the final month's charges. If your Service is terminated or suspended for any stated reason, including without limitation, violation of any terms of this Agreement, or because of any improper use of the Service or Device (such as, but not limited to, your attempts to hack, disrupt, or misuse the Service or your acts or omissions that violate any acceptable use policy of VOIP2320 or of a third party provider to which VOIP2320 is subject), you will be responsible for the full month's charges to the end of the current term, including without limitation unbilled charges, plus a disconnect fee if applicable, all of which immediately become due, payable and chargeable to your credit card.


7.5 Reactivation/Continuance of Service
If your suspended account’s Service is resumed because you cured the violation, you will not receive a credit or refund for the period during which the Service was suspended or limited.  If your Service has been terminated and then reactivated, you will be charged a $9.95 reactivation fee but $39.95 disconnect fee will be credited back to you. You will not have to pay a new Activation Fee as long as reactivation occurs within 7 days of termination.  You are responsible for a full month’s fee if the Service or feature is reactivated after the beginning of a new billing cycle.


7.6 Taxes
Customer is responsible for, and shall pay any applicable federal, state, municipal, local or other governmental sales, use, excise, Universal Service Fees, value-added, personal property, public utility and other taxes, fees and charges now in force or enacted in the future, that arise from or as a result of Customer's subscription or use or payment for the Service or a Device. Such amounts are in addition to payment for the Service or Devices and will be billed to your credit card. If Customer is exempt from payment of such taxes, it will provide VOIP2320 with an original government-issued certificate attesting to tax-exempt status. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date VOIP2320 receives such certificate.


7.7 Disconnect Fee
Customer will be charged a disconnect fee of US$39.95 per voice line upon termination of Service for any reason or for convenience of Customer, unless (1) the Customer is eligible for a full refund of the original sign up fees pursuant to the terms of the Money Back Guarantee as provided in this Agreement or (2) the Customer used the Service for more than twelve (12) consecutive months in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and has fully paid for such Service. The disconnect fee becomes due and payable immediately upon termination and will be billed directly to Customer's credit card.


7.8 Return of Device
A Device or any equipment purchased may not be returned. You own everything and cannot return it. If equipment is received and then you reverse your charges on your credit card this will be considered theft of the equipment and VOIP2320 will treat this as a theft case.


7.9 No Money Back Guarantee; Limitations and Conditions

You are liable for any and all liability that may arise out of the content transmitted by or to you or Users using the Services.

VOIP2320 reserves the right to terminate or suspend affected Services, and/or remove your or Users' content from the Services, if VOIP2320 determines that such use or content does not conform with the requirements set forth in this Agreement or interferes with VOIP2320's ability to provide Services to you or others or receives notice from anyone that Your or Users' use or Content may violate any laws or regulations. VOIP2320's actions or inaction under this Section shall not constitute review or approval of your or Users' use or Content. You will indemnify and hold harmless VOIP2320 against any and all liability arising from the content transmitted by or to you or to Users using the Services.
