6. Emergency Services and Accessibility
6.1 Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and 911 Services. VoIP services allow you to make or receive telephone calls over the Internet to or from the public switched telephone network similar to traditional telephone service, yet there are important distinctions that the user needs to be aware of. This notification should be deemed actual notice of these critical distinctions. The customer acknowledges and agrees that differences exist between traditional telephone service and IP-based voice services and that the emergency calls may be handled differently than emergency calls placed with traditional telephone service. Customer expressly consents to the limitations of the E911/911 services, including without limitation, those described herein, and may consider alternate means for accessing traditional emergency services.
6.2 Customer Responsibilities. Customer acknowledges that the E911/911 services may not be available in the event of a power failure, fraudulent use, failure of Customer’s equipment, service outage, or network or Internet congestion or outage, and Customer accepts the responsibility of confirming that its users have the means to make emergency calls in such circumstances. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that the E911/911 services rely on the networks, products, services and operations of third parties, including telecommunications carriers and Public Safety Answering Points (“PSAP”), and the Company is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any such third parties. Customer also agrees to notify its users of the nature and limitations of the E911/911 services as described in this Notification. The Company will not be liable for any loss or damage (financial or otherwise) where Customer fails to do so.
6.3 Provision of E911/911 Services. The provision of E911/911 shall be conditioned on Customer providing the Company with accurate location data, call back number, valid address or any other information required and requested by the Company in order to provide the E911/911 services. Customer shall provide this information in a timely manner and in a format required or requested by the Company. Customer shall update this information whenever necessary to reflect changes. The Parties understand and acknowledge that should Customer fail to provide any such information, the Company may not be able to provide the E911/911 services, in whole or in part. Customer agrees to release indemnify and defend the Company and all of its affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, shareholders, agents, vendors, and representatives from any and all claims that may arise from Customer’s failure to satisfy this section including resulting from the failure of Customer to provide a correct or updated address to the Company.
6.4 Limitation of Liability. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Company, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, underlying local provider(s) or other public or private agencies and any third party providers will not be liable for any injury, death or damage to persons or property, or any other claim arising directly or indirectly out of, or relating in any way to the E911/911, including without limitation any inability on the part of the Customer or a user to access the E911/911 service, except to the extent such claims or causes of action arose from the Company’s gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct.
6.5 IP Desk Phones and Soft Phones. With traditional PSTN services, your 911 call is routed to the appropriate local PSAP based on your automatically generated location information. For E911/911 services provided in the United States of America, the Customer affirmatively acknowledges (and agrees to maintain similar affirmative acknowledgements from its End Users) that the Company does not provide traditional E911/911 services and that the services are subject to the following limitations:
a) Emergency Service Personnel May Lack Automatic Access to Caller’s Number or Location. Unlike conventional 911 services, when a Customer’s End User contacts 911 using IP Desk Phones or Soft Phones, the emergency responders may not have immediate access to the caller’s phone number or physical address. End Users may need to inform the emergency responders about the nature of the emergency, provide their phone number, and describe their location. If the call gets disconnected for any reason, emergency responders may be unable to return the call or identify the location.
b) Incorrect Service Address Registration May Lead to Misdirected Emergency Calls. If a Customer or End User provides a wrong physical address, emergency calls may be directed to an inappropriate emergency service provider. This situation may prevent emergency responders from addressing the emergency, transferring the call to the correct emergency center, or providing any assistance.
c) Mismatched Telephone Numbers and Geographic Locations Can Result in Emergency Call Issues. Emergency service personnel cannot accurately determine a location through the Company’s system, so it is crucial to keep the location registration up-to-date. For instance, if an End User uses their telephone equipment in Virginia with a 703 area code but has an assigned number with a 212 area code (associated with New York City), dialing 911 may not connect them with any emergency personnel. Even if they manage to reach emergency personnel, it may not be the appropriate emergency service for their actual location, and the responders may be unable to transfer the call, address the emergency, or offer any help.
d) Moving Equipment Without Updating the Registered Location May Lead to Emergency Call Issues. It is essential to accurately register the location of IP Desk Phones or Soft Phones every time they are relocated. If the equipment is moved without updating the registered location, a 911 call may fail to connect to any emergency personnel. Even if the call reaches emergency responders, they may not be the ones closest to the caller’s actual location if the location has not been updated, and the responders may be unable to transfer the call, address the emergency, or provide assistance.
e) Failure to Re-register New Location or Calling 911 Within 48 Hours of Updating the Location May Cause Problems. It is crucial to accurately register the location of IP Desk Phones or Soft Phones whenever they are moved. Location updates may take up to 48 hours to be reflected in the Company’s records. During this time, calls may not connect with any emergency service provider or may reach the wrong emergency services provider.
6.6 High-Speed Internet Connection Required
Subscriber understands, acknowledges, and agrees that:
-
-
- Subscribers must have a high-quality, high-speed internet connection to use the services.
- Telxi is not providing an internet connection for the subscribers.
-
Telxi does not control and is not responsible for:
-
-
- Subscriber’s internet connection.
- The quality of the Subscriber’s internet connection.
- Any third-party products and/or services related to Subscriber’s internet connection.
- Problems with the services that are caused by or related to Subscriber’s internet connection.
-
CRITICAL E911 NOTIFICATION
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) in relation to 911 services is subject to certain limitations and differences when compared to traditional telephone services. By using VoIP services, the Subscriber expressly consents to these limitations and acknowledges the responsibility to confirm that they have the means to make emergency calls under various circumstances. The provision of E911/911 services depends on the Subscriber providing accurate location data, call back number, valid address, or any other information required and requested by the Company.
IP Desk Phones and Soft Phones have specific limitations when it comes to emergency calls. It is crucial for the Subscriber to provide accurate and up-to-date location information and be aware of potential issues with emergency calls, such as calls not reaching the correct emergency services or emergency personnel not being able to call back.
Emergency Services provided in the United States and Canada are subject to additional provisions and limitations. The Subscriber agrees to provide their End Users with appropriate notice or stickers that explain the limitations of E911/911 services. The Subscriber acknowledges that only certain dial digit plans are acceptable for the completion of emergency calls and that non-provisioned or improperly provisioned telephone numbers may result in additional fees.
In case of emergency calls from a mobile phone using the Telxi Service, the call will be routed to the mobile carrier, which will handle the provision of the 911 Services. It is essential to be aware of potential technical failures that may prevent successful 911 calls.
911 Connection Issues. There may be instances where 911 calls fail to connect due to specific technical issues, such as:
a) Malfunction of system access equipment. b) Incorrect configuration settings. c) Power outages or disruptions. d) Telecommunication carrier disruptions. e) Termination or suspension of services as outlined in the agreement. f) Internet-related issues (including network congestion, loss, or deterioration of Internet services).
Due to the limitations of contacting 911 via VoIP, it is best practice to use a traditional phone service to call 911, where possible.
7. FAIR USE POLICY
The Fair Use Policy (FUP) applies to Metered Services and Unlimited Services offered by Telxi, including, but not limited to, unlimited calls or unlimited minutes or Metered Services with specific channel allowance. Telxi may enforce the FUP when, in its reasonable opinion, the Customer’s usage of Telxi’s Unlimited Services is excessive or unreasonable, as outlined below.
7.1 Fair Use excludes activities such as auto-dialing, constant call forwarding, telemarketing, and call centers as they create port-congestion and might impact every other customer of Telxi and thus they are forbidden
7.2 Limitation of Liability: Telxi shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or any loss of revenue, profits, or data, arising in connection with the enforcement of the Fair Use Policy, whether in an action in contract or tort, even if Telxi has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
7.3 If the Customer’s usage of Unlimited Services significantly exceeds estimated usage patterns over any month or is inconsistent with typical usage patterns, the Customer’s usage will be deemed excessive or unreasonable.
7.4 If the Customer’s usage is excessive or unreasonable, Telxi will notify the Customer of a breach of the FUP. The Customer will be asked to cease or modify their usage to comply with Telxi’s Fair Use Policy or be offered an alternative per-minute plan, where the FUP does not apply.
7.5 If the Customer’s excessive or unreasonable usage persists after receiving a request to cease or modify such usage, Telxi may, without further notice, apply per-minute charges to the Customer’s account for the excessive and/or unreasonable portion of usage; suspend, modify, or restrict the Customer’s use of the Services; or revoke the Customer’s access to the Services.
