VoIP & UC TERMS OF SERVICE

ALL TELEPHONE SERVICES

The terms and conditions of this Service Agreement (“Terms” or “Agreement”) constitute the agreement (“Agreement”) between CALLICITY (“Company”, “We”, “Us”) and the User (“You,” “Your,” “User,” or “Customer”) all of the Company’s residential and small business communications Services, and any related products or services (“Service”). This Agreement governs both the Service and the Analog Telephone Adapter or any other IP connection Device (“Device” or “Equipment”), used in conjunction with the Service.

BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND FULLY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT INCLUDES MANY IMPORTANT TERMS, INCLUDING: WARNINGS THAT YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO USE THE VOIP SERVICE FOR 911 OR OTHER EMERGENCY CALLS UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES; LIMITS AND DISCLAIMERS ON COMPANY’S LIABILITY; AND THE REQUIREMENT THAT YOU COMMIT TO A MINIMUM TERM OF SERVICE.

SERVICE

Service is offered on a monthly basis for a term that corresponds with the date your CALLICITY telephone service was activated and ends on the day before the same date in the following month. Subsequent terms of this Agreement automatically renew unless you give CALLICITY written notice of non-renewal at least ten (10) days before the end of the monthly term in which the notice is given. You are purchasing the Service for full monthly terms, meaning that if you attempt to terminate Service prior to the end of a monthly term, you will be responsible for the full month’s charges to the end of the then-current term, including, without limitation, unbilled charges, plus a termination fee equal to one-month’s service fee, if applicable, all of which will immediately become due and payable. Expiration of the term or termination of Service will not excuse you from paying all accrued and unpaid charges due under this Agreement.

If you subscribe to the Company’s Residential Services, which is defined as Service intended solely for the subscriber’s residence, or home, and not for commercial purposes (“Residential Services”), the Service and the Device are provided to you solely for such residential use. You shall not resell or transfer the Service or the Device to another party. You are prohibited from using the Service or the Device for auto-dialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, telemarketing (including, without limitation, charitable or political solicitation or polling), fax or voicemail broadcasting or fax or voicemail blasting. We reserve the right to immediately terminate or modify your Service if We determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that your use of the Service or the Device is, or at any time was, inconsistent with normal residential usage patterns. In addition, you will be required to pay our higher rates for commercial Service for all periods in which your use of the Service or the Device was inconsistent with normal residential use.

If you subscribe to the Company’s Business Services, which is defined as Service intended solely for the subscriber’s use to support commercial, for-profit or not-for-profit, non-residential enterprises (“Business Services”), the Service and Device are provided to you as a small business User. Because We have no control over your power or Internet connectivity you may experience occasional outages. You shall not resell or transfer the Service or the Device to another party. You are prohibited from using the Service or the Device for auto-dialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, telemarketing (including, without limitation, charitable or political solicitation or polling), fax or voicemail broadcasting or fax or voicemail blasting. We reserve the right to immediately terminate or modify your Service if We determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that you have at any time used the Service or the Device for any of the aforementioned or similar activities.

A business account is a metered account, unless specified otherwise on the invoice. 1,000 minutes are included for every simultaneous call licensed, minutes are calculated as a total pool of minutes. For example, a sixteen (16) simultaneous call license equals 16,000 minutes that is shared among all extensions. Extra minutes outside the total pool will be billed in 1,000 minute increments. We do not charge additional fees based on the number of extensions associated with a specific service. In addition, we reserve the right to automatically re-rate PROFESSIONAL and ENTERPRISE service customers whose toll-free origination exceeds 50% in a given billing period to the then current CONTACT CENTER rate and to continue at that rate moving forward. Calls outside the 48 contiguous states, Canada and Mexico are considered international calls and will be charged the current rate.  International calls are blocked by default, and have to be activated in order to initiate calls.

LIMITATIONS OF SERVICE

Customer acknowledges, and agrees, to the following limitations of service:

  1. Not a telecommunications service.  The Service is not a telecommunications service and the Company provides it on a best-effort basis. Important distinctions exist between telecommunications service and the Service offering that We provide. The Service is subject to different regulatory treatment than telecommunications service. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before regulatory agencies.
  2. Operator assisted calling.  The Service does not support 0+ or operator assisted calling (including, without limitation, collect calls, third-party billing calls or calling card calls). The Service may not support 311, 511 and/or other x11 (other than certain specified dialing such as 911 and 411, which are provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) Services in one or more (or all) Service areas.
  3. Phone numbers.  The phone numbers you obtain from Us for Residential Service will not be listed in any telephone directories. Phone numbers transferred from your local phone company may, however, be listed. As a result, someone with your phone number may not be able to utilize a reverse directory to look up your address.
  4. Compatibility with other devices and systems.  The Service may not be compatible with non-voice devices. All non-voice communications equipment, including but not limited to, home security systems or alarm systems that are set up to make automatic phone calls, modems, data modems, any device that relies upon a modem, or other hearing-impaired devices, and medical monitoring devices (“Non-Voice Systems”), are not considered compatible with the Service and may be interrupted or permanently disabled by installation or operation of the Service. You should maintain a telephone connection through your local exchange carrier in order to use any alarm monitoring functions for any security system installed in your home or business. You are solely responsible for the operation and use of such Non-Voice Systems with the Service, including taking any necessary steps, as permitted under your agreements with the Company, to ensure compatibility between such Non-Voice Systems and the Service.
  5. Other providers.  You authorize the Company to act on your behalf, as your agent, in moving your telephone number and related local and long-distance services from your current provider to the Company or any of its wholesale service providers. You acknowledge that the Company may change wholesale providers from time to time and may move your phone number from one wholesale carrier to another at any time. You acknowledge that the Company will become the customer of record for all phone numbers that We move or “port” to the Service.
  6. Security.  The Service relies upon portions of the public Internet, and third-party networks, to transmit voice and other communications signals. The Company cannot, and does not, guarantee that the Service is secure, or can be used in a secure manner.
  7. High-Risk Uses.  The Service is not fail-safe or designed or intended for use in situations where error-free or uninterrupted service is essential, including uses involving vital communications in which an error or interruption in the Service could lead to injury to business, persons, property, or the environment (“High-Risk Uses”).

Changes will become effective once posted, and your continued use of the Service will constitute your acceptance of any such changes. However, if you do not wish to continue Service after a change or modification in features or functionality that materially effects the Service to you, you may terminate this Service Agreement by providing written notice to the Company within seven (7) days of the effective date of the modification, and you will not be charged any Termination Fee (as defined below).

911 EMERGENCY SERVICES

Carefully read the information below.  By acceptance, and use, of the VoIP Service you acknowledge and accept any limitations of 911/E911 service, and you agree to convey these limitations to all persons who may have occasion to place calls over the VoIP service.  If you have any questions about 911/E911, call 1-240-621-8500.

LIMITATIONS ON 911 EMERGENCY SERVICE: The VoIP Service includes 911/Enhanced 911 functionality (“911/E911”) that may differ from the 911 or Enhanced 911 function furnished by other providers. As such, it may have certain limitations.  E911 service includes transmission of your telephone number, and information you provide to CALLICITY about the physical location of the equipment and facilities that are used to provide your VoIP Service (“Registered Location”).  When you dial 911, your emergency services call will be routed to the applicable Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”), or other applicable emergency services call center, or local emergency authority. If the PSAP is capable of receiving your telephone number and Registered Location (“E911 Information”), such information will also be conveyed to the PSAP when you dial 911.

REGISTERED LOCATION: USE OF THE VOIP SERVICE FROM A LOCATION OTHER THAN YOUR REGISTERED LOCATION MAY CAUSE YOUR 911 CALL OR E911 INFORMATION TO BE ROUTED TO THE WRONG PSAP, MAY CAUSE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PERSONNEL TO BE DISPATCHED TO THE WRONG ADDRESS, AND MAY RESULT IN OTHER PROBLEMS WITH ACCESSING AND OBTAINING EMERGENCY SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO YOUR INABILITY TO RECEIVE EMERGENCY SERVICES. AS A RESULT, YOU MUST UPDATE YOUR REGISTERED LOCATION WITH CALLICITY BEFORE USING THE VOIP SERVICE AT A NEW LOCATION. TO UPDATE YOUR REGISTERED LOCATION, CONTACT CALLICITY CUSTOMER CARE AT 1-240-621-8500 OR AT https://www.callicity.com

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A REGISTERED LOCATION ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER AND/OR FAIL TO UPDATE YOUR REGISTERED LOCATION WITH CALLICITY, THIS IS CLASSIFIED AS AN UNREGISTERED 911 CALL AT A COST OF $150 PER CALL.

EVEN IF YOU USE THE VOIP SERVICE FROM YOUR REGISTERED LOCATION, TRYING TO CALL 911 OR OBTAIN EMERGENCY SERVICES THROUGH A 911 CALL MAY FAIL FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, INCLUDING:

  1. POWER FAILURE – IF THERE IS A POWER OR INTERNET OUTAGE OR INTERRUPTION, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE VOIP SERVICE FOR ANY 911 OR OTHER EMERGENCY CALLS (AFTER SUCH AN EVENT, YOU ALSO MAY NEED TO RESET OR RECONFIGURE THE EQUIPMENT BEFORE YOU CAN CALL 911).
  2. TERMINATION OR SUSPENDED SERVICE – IF YOUR VOIP SERVICE OR INTERNET ACCESS SERVICE IS INTERRUPTED, SUSPENDED OR CANCELLED FOR ANY REASON (INCLUDING DUE TO TECHNICAL PROBLEMS, YOUR FAILURE TO PAY SUCCEED.NET, OR TERMINATION OF THIS VOIP SERVICE AGREEMENT), YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE VOIP SERVICE TO CALL 911;
  3. TRANSFERRED NUMBER – AS DESCRIBED FURTHER BELOW, IF YOU TRANSFER A TELEPHONE NUMBER FROM YOUR TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE SERVICE, THERE MAY BE A DELAY OR INTERRUPTION IN YOUR ABILITY TO USE THE VOIP SERVICE TO CALL 911;
  4. UPDATED LOCATION INFORMATION – AS DESCRIBED FURTHER BELOW, IF YOU USE THE VOIP SERVICE AT A NEW REGISTERED LOCATION, IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL DAYS AFTER YOU NOTIFY CALLICITY OF THE NEW REGISTERED LOCATION BEFORE 911 CALLING OR E911 FUNCTIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE; AND
  5. TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS – NETWORK CONGESTION, RADIO INTERFERENCE, WEAK WIRELESS SIGNALS, OR OTHER CAUSES OF REDUCED INTERNET ACCESS SERVICE PERFORMANCE MAY PREVENT YOU FROM USING THE VOIP SERVICE TO CALL 911 OR MAY DELAY THE ROUTING OF YOUR 911 CALL OR E911 INFORMATION. YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON THE VOIP SERVICE AS YOUR PRIMARY METHOD TO OBTAIN EMERGENCY SERVICES. IF YOU DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THESE LIMITATIONS, WE SUGGEST YOU MAKE ALTERNATIVE METHODS AVAILABLE TO CALL 911 OR OTHERWISE OBTAIN EMERGENCY SERVICES, SUCH AS THROUGH A TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE LINE OR A MOBILE PHONE.

LIABILITY: YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT CALLICITY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SERVICE OUTAGE, INABILITY TO DIAL 911, AND/OR INABILITY TO ACCESS EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL. YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS CALLICITY AND ITS ASSOCIATED PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, FINES, PENALTIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO REASONABLE ATTORNEY FEES) BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY OR USER OF THE SERVICES RELATING TO THE FAILURE OR OUTAGE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THOSE RELATED TO 911/E91YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF AND UNDERSTAND THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS AND AGREE TO ADVISE ALL PERSONS WHO MAY CONDUCT CALLS USING YOUR VOIP SERVICE OF THE SAME.

“REVERSE 911” SERVICE: “Reverse 911” service is a telephonic community notification system that may be used to deliver outbound messages in the event of an emergency. The system employs a combination of database and mapping technologies to allow emergency responders to pinpoint a specific geographic area and deliver the appropriate message to residents in the affected are. Certain systems have the ability to call both listed and unlisted phone numbers. Subscribers should contact their local public safety agencies to determine if the number used in the provision of the VoIP Service can be registered with the local public safety agency. The technical limitations associated with the provision of Reverse 911 service are due entirely to the local public safety agency’s network and systems capabilities. The Company shall not be liable for any failures, loss of service, interference, or incompatibility of the VoIP Service and any Reverse 911 service offered by local public safety agencies. Further, the Company offers no warranties, either express or implied, as to the availability of such Reverse 911 services, or their compatibility with the Service.
