Customer must correctly identify the actual physical service address where each VoIP device will be located if different from the address listed in the Service Quote and/or Proposal.

Additionally, Customer may incur additional costs, fines or other penalties, including service provider charges, resulting from improper dispatch of emergency service or calls to emergency service dispatchers where Customer has failed to correctly identify the actual service address.

Customer is solely responsible for providing up-to-date and accurate physical location information through the methods made available by Service Provider for this purpose. If Customer moves the VoIP device to another location and does not update Customer’s physical location, Customer’s 911 calls may be sent to an emergency services center associated with Customer’s old address.
LIMITATIONS OF 911 EMERGENCY DIALING. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT VOIP E911 SERVICES HAS CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, WHICH CUSTOMER MUST UNDERSTAND BEFORE ORDERING: (i)VoIP E911 Service only functions if Customer is using an approved VoIP device, equipment or software and after the Service Order has been processed and Customer has received a 911 service confirmation. If Customer uses non-approved equipment or software or attempts to access VoIP E911 Service prior to confirmation, VoIP E911 Service may fail; (ii) even though Customer may be able to make outbound calls immediately after installing the VoIP device, provisioning of VoIP E911 Service may take additional time to complete. If Customer attempts to make VoIP E911Service calls before receiving a 911 service confirmation (or prior to completion of VoIP E911 Service provisioning), calls to 911 may fail or may be forwarded to an non-public, backup emergency answering service; and (iii) after VoIP E911 Service is provisioned, emergency personnel may not have Customer’s Registered Location and/or Customer’s phone number on file, so each of Customer’s Users should be prepared to provide that information in the event Customer requires emergency service and dial “911.” VoIP E911 Service will not function if: (i) Customer’s VoIP device fails or is not configured correctly; (ii) if Customer’s service is not working for any reason, including, but not limited to, a power outage, broadband service outage, network congestion, suspension or disconnection of Customer’s Service, broadband connection, or electrical power because of non-payment or late payment; or Customer fails to meet the minimum technical service requirements. FOLLOWING A POWER OUTAGE, CUSTOMER MAY NEED TO RESET OR RECONFIGURE CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO BEING ABLE TO USE THE SERVICE, INCLUDING VOIP E911 SERVICE. In certain limited cases, Customer’s VoIP 911 call will not be routed to the “traditional” wireline 911 dispatch center, Instead, it will be routed to a wireless telephone emergency dispatch center that may not normally receive 911 calls from Customer’s Registered Location. In this case, emergency personnel will not have Customer’s registered Location and/or Customer’s phone number on file, so Customer should be prepared to provide that information in the event Customer required emergency service and dial “911.” IF THE CALL IS DISCONNECTED FOR ANY REASON, EMERGENCY PERSONNEL WILL HAVE NO WAY TO CONTACT CUSTOMER OR DETERMINE CUSTOMER’S IDENTITY OR LOCATION, SO CUSTOMER SHOULD RE-DIAL “911” IMMEDIATELY IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OCCUR: (i)”traditional” 911 of E911 services are not available in Customer’s area; (ii) Customer’s Registered location address cannot be validated; (iii) there is a failure in the underlying landline 911 network; or (iv) there is a failure in the VoIP 911 call or location processing system. If Customer’s address differs from the Registered Location, the emergency dispatch center will not have the ability to determine Customer’s location other than by asking Customer to provide Customer’s name and physical address. Only then will emergency dispatch center be able to connect the call to an administrative number of the proper emergency dispatch center. THIS MAY RESULT IN A DELAY IN HANDLING OF CUSTOMER’S EMERGENCY CALL, AND CONSEQUENTLY, MAY RESULT IN FIRE, POLICE OR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL EITHER NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND CUSTOMER’S LOCATION OR MAY SIGNIFICANTLY DELAY THEIR RESONSE TIME. FURTHER, IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT REACH EMERGENCY PERSONNEL, THEY MAY NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTACT CUSTOMER IF THE CALL IS DISCONNECTED FOR ANY REASON, SO CUSTOMER SHOULD REDIAL “911” IMMEDIATELY.
IN NO EVENT SHALL SERVICE PROVIDER BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGE, OR LOSS WHATSOEVER ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE VOIP E911 SERVICE, E911 AND/OR 911 DIALING AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY AND ALL SUCH CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING FROM OR RELATING VOIP E911 SERVICE, E911 AND/OR 911 DIALING.
