1.5 Loss of Service Due to Power Failure or Internet Service Outage or Termination or Suspension or Termination by FreePBXHost.com
You acknowledge and understand that the Service does not function in the event of power failure. You also acknowledge and understand that the Service requires a fully functional broadband connection to the Internet (which may not be provided by FreePBXHost.com) and that, accordingly, in the event of an outage of, or termination of service with or by your Internet service provider (“ISP”) and/or broadband provider, the Service will not function, but that you will continue to be billed for the Service unless and until you terminate the Service in accordance with this Agreement. Should there be an interruption in the power supply or ISP outage, the Service will not function until power is restored or the ISP outage is cured. A power failure or disruption may require the Customer to reset or reconfigure equipment prior to utilizing the Service. Power disruptions or failures, or ISP outages will also prevent dialing to emergency service numbers including the 911 calling feature. Should FreePBXHost.com suspend or terminate your Service, the Service will not function until such time as FreePBXHost.com restores your Service (which may require payment of all invoices and reconnection fees owed by you and/or cure of any breach by you of this Agreement).

FreePBXHost.com SLAs, Customer Service response time and Mean Time to Repair shall be void in situations where service interruptions, quality issues or outages are the result of Customer provided Internet connection.
By accepting an integrated line with no QoS, customer agrees that their only remedy to solve any quality issues that are related to a non QoS Data Circuit, is to purchase a dedicated voice circuit, or to upgrade to an MPLS enabled circuit. Customer also agrees to waive their right to terminate service unless one of these options is elected, or be responsible for the Early Termination Penalties assessed on the service.
In the event that customer is utilizing FreePBXHost.com services in an environment which does not use a FreePBXHost.com managed router and bandwidth, and needs technical assistance for setup or trouble shooting, FreePBXHost.com will bill customer at a rate of $125 per hour.

2. EMERGENCY SERVICES- 911 DIALING
2.1 Non-Availability of Traditional 911 or E911 Dialing Service
You acknowledge and understand that the Service does NOT support traditional 911 or E911 access to emergency services. FreePBXHost.com does offer a limited 911-type service available, only on certified equipment as described herein. You acknowledge and understand that 911-type dialing is NOT automatic, that you must separately take affirmative steps, as described in this Agreement, to activate such 911-type dialing capabilities and that such 911-type dialing is different in a number of important ways (some, but not necessarily all, of which are described in this Agreement) from traditional 911 service. FreePBXHost.com 911 dialing cannot be used in conjunction with a FreePBXHost.com Soft Phone application and is only available on FreePBXHost.com-certified.
2.2 Description of 911-Type Dialing Capabilities – Activation Required
FreePBXHost.com does offer a 911-type dialing service provided by a third-party in the U.S that is different in a number of important ways from traditional 911 service. You acknowledge and understand that 911-type dialing is NOT automatic. When you dial 911, your call is routed from the FreePBXHost.com network to FreePBXHost.com’ third-party 911 service provider, to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) or local emergency service personnel designated for the address that you listed at the time of activation. You acknowledge and understand that when you dial 911 from your Certified equipment it is intended that you will be routed to the general telephone number for the PSAP or local emergency service provider and may not be routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls using traditional 911 dialing. FreePBXHost.com relies on a third-party for the forwarding of information underlying such routing, and accordingly FreePBXHost.com disclaims any and all liability or responsibility in the event such information or routing is incorrect. As described herein, this 911-type dialing currently is NOT the same as traditional 911 or E911 dialing, and at this time, does not necessarily include all of the capabilities of traditional 911 dialing. Neither FreePBXHost.com nor its officers or employees 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 911 dialing unless it is proven that the act or omission proximately causing the claim, damage, or loss constitutes gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct on the part of FreePBXHost.com. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless FreePBXHost.com from any claim or action arising out of misroutes of 911 calls, including but not limited to your failure to follow correct activation procedures for 911 calling or your provision to FreePBXHost.com of incorrect information in connection therewith.
2.3 Service Outage
(a) Power Failure or Disruption
You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing does not function in the event of a power failure or disruption. Should there be an interruption in the power supply, the Service and 911 dialing will not function until power is restored. A power failure or disruption may require the Customer to reset or reconfigure equipment prior to utilizing the Service or 911 dialing.
(b) Broadband Service / ISP Outage or Termination / Suspension or Termination by FreePBXHost.com
You acknowledge and understand that service outages or suspension or termination of service by your broadband provider and/or ISP will prevent ALL Service including 911 dialing.
(c) Service Outage Due to Suspension of Your Account
You acknowledge and understand that service outages due to suspension of your account as a result of billing issues will prevent ALL Service, including 911 dialing.
(d) Other Service Outages
You acknowledge and understand that if there is a service outage for ANY reason, such outage will prevent ALL Service, including 911 dialing. Such outages may occur for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to those reasons described elsewhere in this Agreement.
(e) Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
You acknowledge and understand that FreePBXHost.com’ liability is limited for any Service outage and/or inability to dial 911 from your line or to access emergency service personnel, as set forth in this document. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless FreePBXHost.com, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to Customer in connection with this Agreement or the Service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees) by, or on behalf of, Customer or any third party or user of Customer’s Service relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including 911 dialing and/or inability of Customer or any third person or party or user of Customer’s Service to be able to dial 911 or to access emergency service personnel.
2.4 Dialing Requires Registration
You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing does not function unless you have successfully registered your phone location by designating the correct physical address of each phone by means of a signed customer order form. You acknowledge and understand that you cannot dial 911 from this line unless and until you have received a confirming email.
2.5 Failure to Designate the Correct Physical Address When Activating 911 Dialing
Failure to provide the current and correct physical address and location of your certified equipment will result in any 911 communications you may make being routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider. This must be the actual physical street address where you are located, not a post office box, mail drop or similar address.
2.6 Requires Re-Activation if You Change Your Number or Add or Port New Numbers
You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing does not function if you change your phone number or (for such newly added or ported numbers) if you add or port new numbers to your account, unless and until you have successfully registered the new location with FreePBXHost.com by means of a signed order form, and until such later date that such activation has been confirmed to you through a confirming email. Although you may have activated 911 dialing with your former FreePBXHost.com phone number, you must separately register for 911 dialing for any changed or newly added or ported number.
2.7 Requires Re-Activation if You Move or Change Location
You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing does not function properly or at all if you move or otherwise change the physical location of your Certified equipment to a different street address, unless and until you have successfully registered the new location with FreePBXHost.com by means of a signed order form, and until such later date that such activation has been confirmed to you through a confirming email. 911 dialing must be re-activated although you may have activated 911 dialing using your former address, and you must separately activate 911 dialing for any new physical address. Failure to provide the current and correct physical address and location of your Certified equipment will result in any 911 dialing you may make being routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider
2.8 Possibility of Network Congestion and/or Reduced Speed for Routing or Answering 911
Due to the technical constraints on the manner in which it is possible to provide the 911 dialing feature for FreePBXHost.com Service, at this time you acknowledge and understand that there is a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 communication made utilizing your certified equipment as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks. You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing from your Certified equipment will be routed to the general telephone number for the local emergency service provider (which may not be answered outside business hours), and will not be routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls at such local provider’s facilities when such calls are routed using traditional 911 dialing. You acknowledge and understand that there may be a greater possibility that the general telephone number for the local emergency service provider will produce a busy signal or will take longer to answer, as compared to those 911 calls routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls using traditional 911 dialing. You acknowledge and accept that FreePBXHost.com relies on third parties for the forwarding of information underlying such routing, and accordingly FreePBXHost.com disclaims any and all liability or responsibility in the event such information or routing is incorrect. FreePBXHost.com or its officers or employees, may not 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 911 dialing unless it is proven that the act or omission proximately causing the claim, damage, or loss constitutes gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct on the part of FreePBXHost.com.
2.9 Automated Number Identification
With VoIP E911 services it may or may not be possible for the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and the local emergency personnel to identify your phone number when you dial 911. FreePBXHost.com’ third-party 911 system is configured, in most instances, to send the automated number identification information; however, one or more telephone companies, not FreePBXHost.com, route the traffic to the PSAP and the PSAP itself must be able to receive the information and pass it along properly, and PSAPs are not yet always technically capable of doing so. You acknowledge and understand that PSAP and emergency personnel may or may not be able to identify your phone number in order to call you back if the call is unable to be completed, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak to tell them your phone number and/or if the Service is not operational for any reason, including without limitation those listed elsewhere in this Agreement.
2.10 Automated Location Identification
It may not be possible to transmit identification of the address that you have listed to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and local emergency personnel for your area when you dial 911. You acknowledge and understand that you will need to state the nature of your emergency promptly and clearly, including your location, as PSAP and emergency personnel will NOT have this information in some cases. You acknowledge and understand that PSAP and emergency personnel will not be able to find your location if the call is unable to be completed, is dropped or disconnected, if you are unable to speak to tell them your location and/or if the Service is not operational for any reason, including without limitation those listed elsewhere in this Agreement.
2.11 Alternative 911 Arrangements
You acknowledge that FreePBXHost.com does not offer primary line or lifeline services. You should always have an alternative means of accessing traditional E911 services.
3. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT
FreePBXHost.com may change the terms and conditions of this Agreement from time to time as business dictates, or in response to regulatory changes which are imposed on FreePBXHost.com. FreePBXHost.com must provide proof that such changes are mandatory while the customer is under contract.

3.1 Traffic Profile for Voice Services
FreePBXHost.com retail rates are based upon a standard profile of the distribution of traffic for retail customers. If we provide retail domestic or international outbound voice services, or Toll Free services to you under one or more Master Service Orders or under this Agreement, we reserve the right to review your voice services profile on a periodic basis and adjust rates based on that profile. If access costs for your traffic are higher than the average costs based upon a standard traffic profile, we may increase the net rate per minute for your retail voice services upon written notice to you.

In addition, we reserve the right to review your voice services access profile on a periodic basis and review whether your average call duration exceeds one (1) minute.
