TERMS AND CONDITIONS

9-1-1 SERVICE LIMITATION

This notice contains important provisions regarding 9-1-1 service from your VoIP phone.

Description: VoIP services allow you to make or receive telephone calls over the Internet to or from the public switched telephone network. The nature of VoIP telephone calls, while appearing similar to traditional telephone calling services, create unique limitations and circumstances, and you acknowledge and agree that differences exist between traditional telephone service and VoIP telephone services, including the lack of traditional 9-1-1 emergency services.

9-1-1 service: Because of the unique nature of VoIP telephone calls, emergency calls to 9-1-1 through your VoIP service will be handled differently from traditional phone service. The following provisions describe the differences and limitations of 9-1-1 emergency calls, and you hereby acknowledge and understand the differences between traditional 9-1-1 service and VoIP calls with respect to 9-1-1 calls placed to emergency services from your VoIP phone as described below.

Placing 9-1-1 calls: When you make a 9-1-1 emergency call, the VoIP service will attempt to automatically route your 9-1-1 call through a third-party service provider to the Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”) corresponding to your address of record provided by FGL Telecom VoIP service customer for the VoIP service (“Your VoIP Telephone Provider”). However, due to the limitations of the VoIP telephone services, your 9-1-1 call may be routed to a different location than that which would be used for traditional 9-1-1 dialing. For example, your call may be forwarded to a third-party specialized call center that handles emergency calls. This call center is different from the PSAP that would answer a traditional 9-1-1 call which has automatically generated your address information, and consequently, you may be required to provide your name, address, and telephone number to the call center.
How your information is provided: The VoIP service will attempt to automatically provide the PSAP dispatcher or emergency service operator with the name, address and telephone number provided by your VoIP Telephone Provider for your telephone number. However, for technical reasons, the dispatcher receiving the call may not be able to capture or retain your name, phone number or physical location. Therefore, when making a 9-1-1 emergency call, you must immediately inform the dispatcher of your location (or the location of the emergency, if different). If you are unable to speak, the dispatcher may not be able to locate you if your location information is not up to date.

Failure to keep information current will result in a Customer not being able to communicate during a 9-1-1 call; and/or the emergency operator may assume that Customers are at the last registered address.

Correctness of information: You are responsible for informing your VoIP Telephone Provider of any changes to your contact information (including name, address and telephone number) with your account. If you do not correctly identify the actual location where you are located, or if your account information has recently changed or has otherwise not been updated, 9-1-1 calls may be misdirected to an incorrect emergency response site.

Upon moving to a new address, or change of use of your IP Phone service, the Customer must immediately notify and advise FGL Telecom by email or by telephone with the most current location information. Failure to advise FGL Telecom of any changes will adversely affect the ability to access 9-1-1 Service. You may also update your most likely physical address online through the FGL Telecom Portal.

9-1-1 NOTE for Auto Attendant clients:

For Auto Attendant customers with their associated extensions, please note that only the main company number and the main company service address will be on file for 9-1-1, regardless of where the associated extension is located.

Disconnections: You must not disconnect the 9-1-1 emergency call until told to do so by the dispatcher, as the dispatcher may not have your number or contact information. If you are inadvertently disconnected, you must call back immediately.

Connection time: For technical reasons, including network congestion, it is possible that a 9-1-1 emergency call will produce a busy signal or will take longer to connect when compared with traditional 9-1-1 calls. 9-1-1 calls may not function: For technical reasons, the functionality of 9-1-1 VoIP emergency calls may cease or be curtailed in various circumstances, including but not limited to: Failure of service or your service access device: If your system access equipment fails or is not configured correctly, or if your VoIP service is not functioning correctly for any reason, including power outages, VoIP service outage, suspension or disconnection of your service due to billing issues, network or Internet congestion, or network or Internet outage in the event of a power, network or Internet outage, and changing locations (for instance, if you move your system access equipment to a location other than that described in your account information or otherwise on record with Your VoIP Telephone Provider), you may need to reset or reconfigure the system access equipment before being able to use the VoIP service, including for 9-1-1 emergency calls.

Alternate services: If you are not comfortable with the limitations of 9-1-1 emergency calls, ask Your VoIP Telephone Provider to provide you with an alternate means for accessing traditional 9-1-1 emergency services.

Inform other users: You are responsible for notifying, and you agree to notify, any user or potential users of your VoIP telephone of the nature and limitations of 9-1-1 emergency calls on the VoIP services as described herein.

Liability: You are advised to review this section with respect to FGL Telecom’s limitations of liability.
Conveying Limitations to other household residents and guests: You should inform any household residents, guests and other persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize FGL Telecom service, of the important differences in and limitations of VoIP 9-1-1 Dialing service as compared with E9-1-1 service, as set out above.

Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification: We do not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using our 9-1-1 emergency service are answered or addressed by any local emergency response center. We disclaim all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centers and the national emergency calling center. We rely on third parties to assist us in routing 9-1-1 emergency calls to local emergency response centers and to a national emergency calling center. We disclaim any and all liability or responsibility in the event such third party data used to route calls is incorrect or yields an erroneous result. Neither FGL Telecom nor its officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to you in connection with the Service may be held liable for any claim, damage, or loss, and you hereby waive any and all such claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to our 9-1-1 emergency service unless such claims or causes of action arose from our gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless FGL Telecom, 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, legal fees and expenses) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including 9-1-1 emergency service, incorrectly routed 9-1-1 emergency calls, and/or the inability of any user of the Service to be able to use 9-1-1 or access emergency service personnel.

THE CUSTOMER CONFIRMS THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THESE 9-1-1 SERVICE DIFFERENCES. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, THE CUSTOMER ACCEPTS FGL TELECOM VoIP SERVICES ON THESE TERMS, AND HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST FGL TELECOM, ITS AFFILIATES, UNDERLYING CARRIERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO FGL TELECOM IP PHONE 9-1-1 SERVICE. THE CUSTOMER ALSO AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS THE ABOVE PERSONS FROM ANY SUCH CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING LEGAL FEES. THE CUSTOMER’S WAIVER AND INDEMNITY IN THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

2. SERVICE TERM.

2.1 Acceptance of Terms: FGL Telecom reserves the right to change, modify, update prices (Price Plans, Features, special numbers, etc.) add or remove portions of the Terms of Service at any time without direct notification to subscribers.
The Customer must check these Terms of Service for changes. The Customer’s continued use of this website and of the FGL Telecom service following the posting of changes to the Terms of Service will be considered an acceptance of those changes.

2.2 Service Term: Service is offered and paid for on a prescribed recurring basis for a term that begins on the date that FGL Telecom activates your Service and ends on the day before the same date in the following period (“Service Term”). Subsequent terms of this Agreement automatically renew for the same Service Term unless you give us written notice of disconnection at least thirty (30) days before the end of the applicable Service Term. If you attempt to disconnect Service prior to the end of the applicable Service Term, you will be responsible for all charges, including unbilled charges, plus a disconnection fee if applicable, all of which will immediately become due and payable.

2.3 Residential Use: If you subscribe to FGL Telecom’s residential services, the Service and the Phone adaptor are provided to you solely for residential use. You shall not resell or transfer the Service or the Phone adaptor to another party without our prior written consent.
FGL Telecom evaluates customer usage in comparison to similarly situated customers, e.g., residential use under residential Service plans or small business use under small business Service plans. For example, over ninety five per cent (95%) of FGL Telecom’s residential unlimited calling plan customers use less than two thousand (2000) minutes per month and do not have any unusual calling patterns. FGL Telecom may conclude that a customer’s aggregate usage is outside of normal use if it exceeds 2000 minutes per month.
We reserve the right to review your account and take further action, including, but not limited to, immediate suspension of your FGL Telecom service if account usage is beyond normal standards, impermissible or detrimental to other customers’ ability to use the service or adversely affects our operations. We may assess abnormal usage based on comparisons to the usage patterns and levels of our other customers. If we determine that you are engaging in abnormal or impermissible usage, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform you and provide you with the opportunity to correct the improper usage. If we give you the opportunity to correct your abnormal usage patterns and you fail to immediately conform to normal use, we may exercise our right to transfer your service to a more appropriate plan, charge applicable rates or suspend or terminate your service. You acknowledge that if your service is terminated under this provision, you are subject to all applicable fees and taxes at the time your service is terminated.
In addition, you may be required to pay our higher rates for commercial service for all periods in which your use of the Service, or the Phone adaptor was inconsistent with normal residential use.

We may remove or block any or all communications if we suspect a violation of this Agreement or if we deem it necessary in order to protect the Service, or FGL Telecom, its parent, affiliates, directors, officers, agents and employees from harm. We reserve the right to immediately disconnect your Service without notice, if, in our sole and absolute discretion, we determine that you have used the Service, the Extension or the Phone adaptor for an unlawful purpose or in ways mentioned above. In the event of such disconnection you will be responsible for all fees and charges due under this Agreement, including those referred to in Section 2.1, plus a disconnection fee, if applicable, all of which will be immediately due and payable.

6.5 Phone adaptor Warranties Limited Warranty: Except as set forth herein, if you received the Phone adaptor from us and the Phone adaptor included a limited warranty at the time of receipt, you must refer to the separate limited warranty document provided with the Phone adaptor for information on the limitation and disclaimer of certain warranties and conditions. Remedies for breach of any such warranties will be limited to those expressly set forth in such documentation.
No Warranty: IF A LIMITED WARRANTY DID NOT COME WITH YOUR PHONE ADAPTOR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE PHONE ADAPTOR “AS IS”. YOUR PHONE ADAPTOR IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REPLACEMENT, REPAIR OR REFUND AFTER THE MONEY BACK GUARANTEE PERIOD.
Retail Customer Limited Warranty: For Retail Customers only, we will provide a limited warranty on the Phone adaptor as to manufacturing defects only for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase. This Retail Customer limited warranty does not apply to any defect or failure other than a manufacturing defect, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, does not apply to any defect caused by damage in transit, retailer handling or Retail Customer handling. A Retail Customer’s sole remedy for any breach of this Retail Customer limited warranty is to obtain a repaired or replacement Phone adaptor, by following the return procedures set forth in Section 2.9. Retail Customer must include with the returned Phone adaptor a letter stating that the Retail Customer is returning the Phone adaptor for warranty repair or replacement and stating the nature of the defect. The Retail Customer limited warranty will also apply in lieu of the limited warranty included with the Phone adaptor if such included limited warranty is less favorable to Retail Customer than that contained herein.

Privacy Policy: FGL Telecom regards its Customer’s privacy as one of its most important values and believes that its Privacy Policy will give the Customer confidence whenever they use FGL Telecom services. The following is a summary that outlines how FGL Telecom collects, uses and discloses personal information:

3. Limits.
FGL Telecom will limit its collection of personal information to that which is necessary for the abovementioned purposes. This collection shall only be done by fair and lawful means.
FGL Telecom will not use or disclose personal information for any purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as required by law. When we provide information to third parties, such parties are required to adhere to confidentiality agreements to ensure that the Customer’s information remains safe and secure.

Information that is publicly available (such as a public directory listing of a name or information that is printed on a business card – including the Customer’s address, telephone number and email address) is not considered personal information.

Severability:

If any part of this Agreement is legally declared invalid or unenforceable, all other parts of this Agreement are still valid and enforceable. Such invalidity or non-enforceability will not invalidate or render unenforceable any other portion of this Agreement. If any provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.
