Services and Term

(a) Small Business Service: Subject to the terms and limitations in this Agreement and payment of applicable service charges, taxes and fees, purchase or rental of certain Zonitel Equipment includes Small Business Service which includes the capability to make calls within the United States and Canada using the Equipment subject to acceptable small business usage limitations. Any and all references on Zonitel packaging, in sponsored advertising, on the Zonitel website, in third party marketing materials and/or in any other context or location that refer to the provision “unlimited” service shall be narrowly construed as providing the customer with the ability to make calls within the United States and Canada, and are subject to acceptable small business usage limitations and subject to the terms and limitations of this Agreement including those pertaining to Service Charges, Billing and Payment set forth in Section 11 of this agreement. These calls will be routed using the Internet Protocol over your High-Speed Internet connection.

(b) Calling Area: Calls within the United States do not include international calls, or calls to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Wake Island, the Midway Islands, Kingman Reef, Johnston Island, Canada and certain other locations within the North American Numbering Plan area, nor do they include calls to content providers (e.g., 900, 976), premium services (such as 411) or operator assisted calls (such as 0+, 00+). Calls to Canada do not include the Northwest Territories/Yukon Territory. Zonitel may choose to block toll calls or charge the customer for reimbursement of charges associated with calls if such calls result in atypical termination costs and/or surcharges, including, but not limited to, calls to “free” phone conferencing services, “free” call management services, phone chat services, 900 numbers, or recorded messages (such as those promoted in connection with reality TV shows, radio contests, or celebrity-sponsored recordings). Your ability to continue to make calls is contingent upon your continuing to subscribe to a High-Speed Internet service or subscribing to LTE Service to enable calling over a third-party cellular data network.

(c) Assignment of Phone Number: If you are using your Equipment without a landline and you have requested a phone number for your Equipment, you will have the option to choose a phone number or we will assign you a new phone number. This phone number may or may not be in your local calling area. If the phone number is not in your local calling area, please be aware that others in your local calling area may incur charges when calling you and that the toll charges to call you from another calling area may be different than at your old landline number. The number assigned will be unique to the Equipment and will transfer with any sale of the Equipment. If, at any time, you cease to use the Equipment, please notify us immediately so that we can re-use your phone number. If, for whatever reason, you cease to use the Equipment for five months, we reserve the right to reassign your phone number to someone else’s equipment. In the event you wish to re-activate your Equipment, we will re-issue you a new phone number, and you may incur re-activation charges. If you select a second phone number during an introductory trial period and, at the conclusion of such trial period, you do not subscribe to our Premier Service, this second phone number will be cancelled and re-assigned.

(d) Term: The term for each Service will begin on the date it is activated and will continue until the Service is terminated by you or by us, as is more fully set forth herein. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in some cases, the description of the Services or the pricing for the Services may provide for or require a minimum initial term. Likewise, the sale of an item of Equipment at a particular price may require, as a condition, a minimum initial term for one or more Other Service(s) which requires an additional monthly service fee. The minimum initial term, the required Other Service(s), and the cost of Other Service(s) may be described on our website, or where you purchase or rent the Equipment or when you activate the Service(s). The provision for any such minimum initial term is incorporated into this Agreement.

(e) Service Distinction: Important distinctions exist between a telecommunications service and our Equipment and Services, and our Equipment and Services are subject to different regulatory treatment than a telecommunications service. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before regulatory agencies.

(f) Right to Change: Our Services are subject to our business policies, practices and procedures, which can change at any time without notice. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, we can change this Agreement or any other terms and conditions of your Services at any time, with or without notice. Changes may include features, prices and usage limits of the Services. Zonitel may, without prior notice, stop providing certain features of the Service or the Services themselves, to you or to users generally. If we do give you notice about the Terms and Conditions of your services or about changes in the Terms and Conditions of your services, it may be provided on the Zonitel website, your account web page, in a newsletter, by e-mail, by telephone or other communication permitted under applicable law. This Agreement may not be amended or modified by you.

(g) Notice: Except as stated otherwise in this Agreement, when a notice is required from us to you, we may provide that notice by e-mail to the e-mail address provided by you when you established your account with us. You are responsible for keeping that e-mail address up-to-date. When you are required to give us notice, you must do so, except as stated otherwise in this Agreement, by using the notice facility on your account page provided on our website or by speaking with a member of our customer support team.

Service Availability

(a) Service Availability: The Services and any telephone calls placed using the Equipment use the public Internet and third party networks and are provided on a commercially reasonable efforts basis. The Services are intended to be accessed and used for non-time-critical information and control of Zonitel Equipment. Things beyond our control may affect the reliability and availability of Equipment, Services, and telephone connections. Such events could include a loss of power at your location, the loss of your High-Speed Internet service, changes in the coverage of third-party cellular data networks, and fluctuations in the quality of service of the public Internet. Other things may also affect availability of Equipment and Services, such as maintenance. Zonitel will act in good faith to minimize disruptions to your use of and access of the Equipment, but will not provide any credits or compensation for potential business loss due to interruptions of Service or hardware failures.

(b) Outages Due to Power Failure or Disruption: All Services, including 911 Dialing and 911 Alerts and Home Security, will not function in the event of a power failure or disruption. If there is an interruption in the power supply, the Equipment and all Services, including 911 Dialing and 911 Alerts and Home Security, will not function until power is restored. Following a power failure or disruption, or if you move the Equipment, you may need to reset or reconfigure the Equipment prior to utilizing 911 Dialing and 911 Alerts and Home Security.

(c) Service Outages Due to Internet Disruption: Service outages, service disruptions, poor quality of service, suspensions, or disconnections of service by your High-Speed Internet will prevent all Services, including 911 Dialing and 911 Alerts and Home Security, from functioning.

(d) Outages Due to Status of Your Zonitel Account: Outages due to suspension, disconnection or termination of your Zonitel account will prevent the Equipment and all Services, including 911 Dialing and 911 Alerts and Home Security, from functioning.

(e) Outages Due to Blocking of Ports, or Other Acts: Your High-Speed Internet Provider, or other third party, may block the communication ports over which the telephone connection is made, or otherwise impede the usage of the Equipment. If you suspect this has happened, you should alert us to this situation and we will work with you to attempt to resolve the issue. During the period that the ports are being blocked or your Equipment is impeded, your Equipment and all Services, including 911 Dialing and 911 Alerts and Home Security, may not function. You acknowledge that Zonitel is not responsible for the blocking of ports by any third party or any other impediment to your usage of the Equipment, and any loss of capabilities of our Equipment and Services, including 911 Dialing and 911 Alerts and Home Security, which may result.

(f) Other Outages: If there is an outage for any reason, such outage may prevent all Equipment and Services, including 911 Dialing and 911 Alerts and Home Security, from functioning. Such outages may occur for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, those reasons described elsewhere in this Agreement.

(g) Landline Backup: If there is a disruption of the Equipment’s calling capability, and your Equipment is connected to a landline, you may be able to complete calls using the landline. This may result in charges by your landline long-distance carrier for calls completed using your landline while the Equipment’s calling capability is unavailable. If you do not hear the special dial tone associated with your Zonitel Services, you will not have access to the calling capability we provide. The Zonitel tab or logo on the Zonitel Hub or Zonitel Telo or Zonitel Office Base Station will display a red light under such circumstances, indicating an Internet connection failure.

(h) Number Porting: Zonitel will use reasonable efforts to facilitate the transfer of phone numbers from your current phone service to Zonitel. Number porting is subject to availability and coverage will vary from time to time. To complete the number porting process, Zonitel depends and relies on the third parties outside of Zonitel’s control. You agree that Zonitel will not be liable for any change in availability, delay or failure in the processing of your number transfer, or for the unauthorized transfer of a number you use with the Zonitel service.

(i) Number Changes: Zonitel may, from time to time, need to change a telephone number that is assigned to you. Zonitel will not be liable for any damages should you need to be assigned a new phone number.

(j) Storage of Information: Zonitel stores your call logs, voicemails, security device data, call recordings and other information related to your account as a convenience to you. You agree that Zonitel has no obligation, responsibility or liability for the storage, deletion or failure to store any of the aforementioned information. You agree that Zonitel may establish limits, at its sole discretion, as to the amount of messages, information and recordings it retains and the duration for which it is retained.

(k) HIPAA: You acknowledge and agree that the use of the Services are not designed, intended, or recommended for use as a repository or means by which to store “protected health information”, as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, and similar legislation in other jurisdictions, and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto (such laws and regulations, “HIPAA”) on a non-temporary basis, and you represent and warrant that neither the Services nor any ancillary product or service that is a part thereof will be used for such purpose. ZONITEL SPECIFICALLY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE THAT YOUR SERVICES, THE ACCOUNT(S), OR THE EQUIPMENT (OR THE USE OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING BY ANY PARTY) COMPLIES OR WILL COMPLY WITH HIPAA OR ANY OTHER LAW OR WILL RENDER ANY PARTY COMPLIANT WITH HIPAA OR ANY OTHER LAW.

(l) Third Party Service Providers: Subject to the terms and limitation of this Agreement, the Equipment, if capable, may be used with third party calling service providers where available and pursuant to any terms or limitations that such providers may require as a condition of providing such services.

Acceptable Use Policy

(a) General Acceptable Use Policy: You shall not use the Equipment and Services in a manner that is illegal, fraudulent, improper, abusive or in any way that prevents or interferes with Zonitel’s ability to provide Services to its customers. You acknowledge that Zonitel may, at its sole discretion, suspend or terminate service to your Equipment and charge you applicable usage and service fees for the time periods in which your use of the Equipment was inconsistent with our acceptable usage policy.

(b) Small Business Service Acceptable Use Policy: We provide the Equipment and Services for normal small business usage within your place of business. The use of the term “unlimited” in conjunction with Zonitel’s Small Business Service offering as it appears on Zonitel packaging, in sponsored advertising, on the Zonitel website, and in third party marketing materials, or in any other location refers to normal small business phone usage as defined herein. You agree to use the Equipment only in a manner consistent with normal small business usage patterns. Unlimited voice calling is intended for continuous, live conversation between two individuals. Lack of continuous conversation, unusual calling patterns, excessive caller and calling destinations and/or excessive usage (e.g. 5,000 minutes per line of service per month or more) will be considered as indicators that your use of the Equipment may be inconsistent with normal small business usage. It may also indicate that the Equipment is being used in a manner not allowed by your Service plan and may result in review of your account and usage history. Failure to contact Zonitel in response to our notification and/or failure to bring usage levels to normal levels in a timely fashion will result, in Zonitel’s sole discretion, in immediate mandatory transfer to a Commercial Service calling plan that charges significantly higher per minute usage rates.

(c) General Prohibited Use: You are prohibited from using the Equipment for auto-dialing, predictive-dialing, continuous or extensive call conferencing, trunking or continuous or extensive call forwarding, telemarketing (including, without limitation, charitable or political solicitation or polling), operating a call center, resale of service, fax or voicemail spamming, broadcasting or blasting. Unusually high usage may interfere with Zonitel’s ability to provide Services to its customers and may indicate unauthorized use of Services. You agree we have the right to terminate your Service and charge you all applicable usage and service fees if we conclude you are using the Service for a prohibited use.

(d) Unlawful and Inappropriate Use or Conduct: You shall use the Equipment and Services only for lawful purposes. You shall not use the Equipment or a Service in any way that is threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another’s privacy, or in any similar manner. If we believe that you have used the Equipment or any of our Services for unlawful or inappropriate purposes or have attempted theft or fraud, we may forward the relevant communication and other information, including your identity, to the appropriate authorities for investigation and prosecution. You hereby consent to our forwarding of any such communications and information to those authorities. In addition, we will provide information in response to law enforcement requests, lawful government requests, subpoenas, court orders, in order to protect our rights and property, or where we believe that failure to disclose the information may lead to imminent harm to you or others.

(e) Unsolicited Advertisements and TCPA Compliance: Certain communication practices – including without limitation, the placing of unsolicited calls; the placing of commercial messages; the sending of unsolicited facsimile, Internet facsimile, SMS, or other messages; and the use of certain automated telephone equipment to place certain calls – are regulated in the United States by the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (also known as the “TCPA”) (available at https://www.fcc.gov/document/telephone-consumer-protection-act-1991), the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, and under a number of similar state, municipal or local laws, regulations, codes, ordinances and rules, and in Canada by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission pursuant to Canada’s Anti-Spam Law (“CASL”) (available at https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/E-1.6/index.html). You agree, represent and warrant that:

(i) You are the creator of the content of, and are solely responsible for determining the destination(s) and recipient(s) of, all outbound communications made using Services (“Customer Communication”);

(ii) All content, communications, files, information, data, and other content provided for transmission through your account or the Services will be provided solely for lawful purposes, and in no event shall any Customer Communication or any content thereof be in violation of the TCPA, Junk Fax Prevention Act, CASL, or any other law; and

(iii) No unsolicited advertisements, commercial messages, solicitations, marketing or promotional materials will be transmitted or distributed in the form of facsimiles or Internet facsimiles through the Services.

At Zonitel’s sole option and without further notice, Zonitel may use technologies and procedures, including without limitation, filters, that may block or terminate such unsolicited advertisements without delivering them. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Zonitel, and any third-party provider(s) from any and all third party claims, losses, damages, fines, or penalties arising: (i) out of your violation or alleged violation of the TCPA, Junk Fax Prevention Act, CASL, or any similar regulation or legislation; or (ii) otherwise related to any voicemail, text, and/or fax spam, solicitations, or commercial messages that you may send and/or receive using the Services.

(f) Privacy and Data Protection Laws: Zonitel Equipment and Services are primarily intended for purely personal, household, and business use. Nonetheless, data protection and privacy laws where you live may impose certain responsibilities on you and your use of the Equipment and Services. For certain video, audio, and facial recognition data that you collect using Equipment and Services (e.g., video and audio signals and data from the Zonitel Smart Cam, Zonitel Call Recording, etc.), you are the controller of certain data these Equipment and Services collect, and Zonitel is the processor of that data, under applicable laws. You agree that you (and not Zonitel) are responsible for ensuring that you comply with any applicable laws when you use the Equipment and Services, including, but not limited to, (i) any laws relating to the recording or sharing of video or audio content that includes third parties or public spaces, or (ii) any laws requiring notice to third parties, or consent or explicit consent of third parties with respect to your use of the Equipment.

Emergency Services

(a) Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification: WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER WHETHER, OR THE MANNER IN WHICH, CALLS USING OUR 911 DIALING SERVICES ARE ANSWERED OR ADDRESSED BY ANY EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER. WE DISCLAIM ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ABILITY OF ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT TO CONNECT TO AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER, THE CONDUCT OF THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER AND THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY CALLING CENTER. WE RELY ON THIRD PARTIES TO ASSIST US IN ROUTING 911 CALLS TO 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. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF YOUR ALERT CONTACTS (AS DEFINED BELOW), OR THE INTERNET CONNECTION OR MOBILE TELEPHONE CARRIER SERVICES UTILIZED BY YOU OR YOUR ALERT CONTACTS, NOR WHETHER YOU REGISTER ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT, ENTER IN THE CORRECT INFORMATION WHILE PROGRAMMING ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT ONLINE, TEST THE FUNCTION AND RANGE OF ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT AND THE ZONITEL SERVICES, OR CHARGE THE EQUIPMENT, IF APPLICABLE. NEITHER ZONITEL 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 OUR 911 DIALING SERVICE OR OUR 911 ALERT SERVICE. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON THE SERVICES FOR ANY LIFE SAFETY OR CRITICAL PURPOSES. MOBILE NOTIFICATIONS REGARDING THE STATUS AND ALARMS ON YOUR ZONITEL EQUIPMENT ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY – THEY ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A THIRD-PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY-NOTIFICATION SYSTEM OR TRADITIONAL 911 SERVICE. YOU SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS ZONITEL, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, AND ASSIGNS, AND ANY OTHER SERVICE PROVIDER WHO FURNISHES SERVICES TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES, FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, FINES, PENALTIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS’ FEES) BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY RELATING TO THE ABSENCE, FAILURE, OR OUTAGE OF THE EQUIPMENT (INCLUDING 911 DIALING AND 911 ALERTS AND HOME SECURITY, INCORRECTLY ROUTED 911 DIALING CALLS AND INCORRECTLY ROUTED 911 ALERT E-MAILS OR TEXT MESSAGES, INCORRECTLY ENTERED E-MAIL ADDRESSES OR MOBILE TELEPHONE NUMBERS FOR THE ALERT CONTACTS), FAILURE OF ANY EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL TO CALL BACK DIRECTLY TO THE NUMBER FROM WHICH A 911 CALL WAS MADE, AND/OR THE INABILITY OF ANY USER OF THE EQUIPMENT TO BE ABLE TO USE 911 DIALING, 911 ALERTS, OR ACCESS OR RECEIVE CALLBACKS FROM EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL. YOU SHOULD HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF ACCESSING TRADITIONAL 911 SERVICES. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE LIMITATIONS OF THE 911 ALERTS SERVICE, YOU SHOULD NOT ENABLE AND/OR USE THE FEATURE.

(b) Limitations on Emergency Calling: Internet-only 911 Dialing is different than traditional 911 service and is generally referred to as enhanced 911 or E911. E911 service is subject to availability within your calling jurisdiction. With E911 service, when you dial 911, your telephone number and the service address you registered with Zonitel are simultaneously sent to the local emergency center assigned to your location. Customers in locations where the emergency center is not equipped to receive, capture, or retain your telephone number and address have basic 911 or limited E911. In addition, if you dial 911 before your registered location has been entered in the emergency operator’s database, your call will be routed to a national emergency call center. With basic 911 or limited E911, the local emergency operator answering the call may not have your call-back number or your exact location, so you must be prepared to give them this information. Until you give the operator your phone number, he/she may not be able to call you back or dispatch help if the call is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak. Certain customers may not have access to either basic 911 or E911. If you do not have access to basic 911 or E911, your 911 call will be sent to a national emergency call center. A trained agent at the emergency call center will ask for the name, telephone number, and location of the customer calling 911, and will contact the local emergency center for such customer in order to send help. Examples of situations where 911 calls will be sent to the national emergency call center include when there is a problem validating a customer’s address or the customer is located in an area that is not covered by the landline 911 network. Emergency personnel do not receive your phone number or physical location when your 911 call is routed to the national emergency call center. You authorize us to disclose your name and address to third-parties involved with providing 911 emergency services to you, including but, not limited to, call routers, call centers, and local emergency centers.

(c) Reduced Speed for Routing or Answering 911 Dialing Calls: There can be a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 Dialing call made utilizing Equipment as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks.

(d) Registration of Physical Location Required: For each phone line or user account that you utilize with the Internet-only service, you must register with Zonitel the physical location where you will be using the Equipment with that phone line or user account. Your initial location will be registered as a part of new Equipment registration when you receive a new phone number from us. It is incumbent on you to confirm the accuracy of your physical address via your online account if you make any changes, additions, or transfer phone numbers to your account. If we cannot validate the address you provide during the registration process, your 911 call will be sent to the national emergency call center as described in Section 9(b) above. If we continue to fail to validate the address you provide during the registration process, we will terminate your account. If you move the Equipment to another location, you MUST update your physical address in order to ensure proper 911 Dialing function. If you do not update your location, any 911 calls you make may be routed to an emergency center near your old address and may result in help being sent to the wrong location. Should you choose to use the Zonitel system outside of the United States, you will not have access to emergency calling.

(i) Zonitel Residential Service: If you are a Zonitel Residential Service customer, you may update a location by logging into your online account or contacting a member of our customer support team at 1-888-711-6662 during working hours. For purposes of 911 Dialing, you may only register one location at a time for each Equipment. Zonitel reserves the right to charge you for penalties that we incur when 911 response personnel are sent to the wrong address because you have not updated your physical location.

(ii) Zonitel Small Business Service: If you are a Zonitel Small Business Service customer, the customer who registers the Equipment location and who will have administrative access to the Zonitel Office Manager site is the administrator of the Business Service account (the “Administrator”). The Administrator may update your main office location by logging into the online Zonitel Office Manager. If you utilize the Zonitel Office Multi-Site feature, you must register with Zonitel each physical location for each respective user account. As the Administrator, you agree and understand it is your responsibility to confirm the accuracy of the physical address for each user account and to make any changes or additions needed for each user account. If you are assigned a user account, it is your responsibility to notify the Administrator of any changes or inaccuracies to the physical address associated with your user account.

(e) Notify All Users: You should inform all household residents, guests, users and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize Services of the important distinctions and limitations of E-911 as compared with traditional 911. You should inform all Alert Contacts (defined below) of the key aspects of the 911 Alerts feature and that their e-mail and/or mobile phone number is listed as a contact for the service.

(f) Landline 911 Emergency Calling: If you have a landline connected to your Zonitel Equipment, 911 will be directed through your local telephone service line provided by your local telephone service company. In such case, your 911 calls will be handled by your local telephone service company, not by Zonitel.

(g) 911 Alerts Feature: The 911 Alerts feature is available in certain Residential Service packages and is subject to the restrictions and limitations of the 911 Dialing services as described herein. To use the 911 Alerts feature, subscribers with access to E911 Dialing must: (i) select the option to enable 911 Alerts in the Preferences tab in your My Zonitel Account; (ii) enter up to three e-mail addresses or mobile phone numbers (the “Alert Contacts”) into the 911 Alerts area of the “My Zonitel” online control panel; (iii) save the changes; and (iv) test the 911 Alerts to make sure the service works for you. You may also enter a custom message that will be included in the alert, but in any event the alert message is limited to 256 characters. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ZONITEL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE, AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR, RELATED TO, OR ARISING OUT OF, YOUR FAILURE TO (I) ENABLE THE 911 ALERT FEATURE, (II) ENTER IN THE CORRECT INFORMATION FOR THE ALERTS CONTACTS, OR (III) TEST THE 911 ALERTS SERVICE. Do not test the 911 Alerts feature by dialing 9-1-1, as this will trigger a call to your local emergency dispatch center. To test the 911 Alerts feature, use the Equipment to dial 6-1-1. You will hear a recorded message that tells you that a test call has been placed. Your Alert Contacts should then check their e-mail inbox and/or phone to make sure the alert was sent and received properly. Double-check that the address included in the alert is up-to-date. By using the 911 Alerts feature, you authorize us to send e-mails and text messages to your Alert Contacts. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR MOBILE CARRIER, AND THE MOBILE CARRIER(S) OF YOUR ALERT CONTACTS, MAY APPLY ADDITIONAL CHARGES TO SEND AND RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES. In the event an Alert Contact experiences a power failure or disruption, outage of Internet service or mobile telephone service, or any other disruption, the 911 Alerts will be delayed or never received by the e-mail inbox or mobile phone of that Alert Contact.

Additional Terms of Equipment and Service

(a) No Life Safety or Critical Uses of the Products and Services: You acknowledge and agree that the Equipment and Services, whether standing alone or when interfaced with third-party products or services, are not certified for emergency response. Zonitel makes no warranty or representation that use of the Equipment or Services with any third-party product or service will affect or increase any level of safety. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES, WHETHER STANDING ALONE OR INTERFACED WITH THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, ARE NOT A THIRD-PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. FURTHER, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ZONITEL DISPATCH EMERGENCY SERVICES TO YOUR HOME IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.

(b) Reliability of Services: You acknowledge that the Services, including remote access and mobile notifications, are not error-free or 100% reliable and 100% available. Proper functioning of the Services relies and is dependent on, among other things, the transmission of data through your Wi-Fi network, enabled wireless device (such as a phone or tablet) and High-Speed Internet access, or optional cellular backup service, for which neither Zonitel nor any wireless or data carrier is responsible, and may be interrupted, delayed, refused, or otherwise limited for a variety of reasons, including insufficient coverage, power outages, termination of service and access, environmental conditions, interference, non-payment of applicable fees and charges, unavailability of radio frequency channels, system capacity, upgrades, repairs or relocations, and priority access by emergency responders in the event of a disaster or emergency (collectively, “Service Interruptions”). You understand that Service Interruptions may result in the Services being unreliable or unavailable for the duration of the Service Interruption. We cannot and do not guarantee that you will receive notifications within any given time, or at all. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON THE SERVICES FOR ANY LIFE SAFETY OR CRITICAL PURPOSES. MOBILE NOTIFICATIONS REGARDING THE STATUS AND ALARMS ON YOUR ZONITEL EQUIPMENT ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY – THEY ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A THIRD-PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY-NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. There is no way for Zonitel to provide specific information relating to a situation in your home or elsewhere. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to educate yourself on how to respond to an emergency and to respond according to the specifics of your situation.

(c) Service Interruptions; no refund or rebate: The Services may be suspended temporarily, without notice, for security reasons, systems failure, maintenance and repair, or other circumstances. You agree that you will not be entitled to any refund or rebate for such suspensions. Zonitel does not offer any specific uptime guarantee for the Services.

(d) Privacy and Security: The calling capability and our Services use the public Internet, third party networks, and inside wiring in customers’ premises to transmit communications. We have engineered our Equipment and Services to minimize the risk of any loss in privacy when using such systems. You acknowledge, however, that we cannot guarantee that your communications are completely secure. We respect your privacy and treat the content of all communications as private, except as may be required by law.

(e) Cyber Security: We maintain administrative, technical and physical security measures and safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information. Unfortunately, no information transmission or storage system on the Internet is 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee, ensure, or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. There is no guarantee that information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

The safety and security of your personal information also depends on you. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your login information. Please note that e-mails and other communications sent to us through our website may not be encrypted, and we strongly advise you not to communicate any confidential information through these means.

(f) Compatibility with Third-Party Home Security and Medical Alert Systems: PLEASE NOTE: Our Services, the Equipment, and calling capability may not be compatible with certain home security and medical alert systems that communicate with the home security provider or medical alert provider by dialing a number using your local telephone service line. You may be required to maintain and pay for a separate landline or cellular telephone service from your local telephone company in order to use such systems. You are responsible for contacting the home security or medical alert company to determine the compatibility of its system with our Equipment and Services. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY CLAIM AGAINST ZONITEL FOR THE INTERFERENCE OR DISRUPTION OF THESE THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT. WE DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR HOME SECURITY AND/OR MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEM IS DISRUPTED. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY AND ALL SUCH CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTIONS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE COMPATIBILITY OF OUR SERVICES, EQUIPMENT, AND/OR ALARM SYSTEM MODE, WITH CERTAIN THIRD-PARTY NON-VOICE COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT. YOU SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS ZONITEL, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, AND ASSIGNS, AND ANY OTHER SERVICE PROVIDER WHO FURNISHES SERVICES TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES, FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, FINES, PENALTIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS’ FEES) BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY RELATING TO THE FAILURE, INTERFERENCE OR DISRUPTION OF THIRD PARTY SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, HOME SECURITY AND MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEMS) DUE TO COMPATIBILITY OR INCOMPATIBILITY WITH ZONITEL’S SERVICES, EQUIPMENT, AND/OR ALARM SYSTEM MODE.

(g) International Usage: The Zonitel system has been designed to support installation and use in the United States with a U.S. High-Speed Internet service provider. We currently only provide U.S. phone numbers and cannot guarantee installation, performance, or use of Zonitel Equipment and Service outside the United States. If you choose to install and use the Zonitel system outside of the United States, you will be solely responsible for any violation of any export laws, tax laws, tariff agreements, U.S. or foreign regulatory rules, U.S. or local laws, or violation of your High-Speed Internet provider’s terms of service. You will also be accountable for payment of any taxes, fees, penalties, and/or surcharges associated with use of the Zonitel system outside of the United States. Zonitel reserves the right to suspend Service to any non-U.S. based system at any time.

(h) May Not Support x11 Calling: The Equipment, if not connected to a landline, may not support 311, 511 and/or other x11 services in one or more (or all) service areas (other than certain specified dialing such as 911 and 411, which are provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, and 711, which is used to access telecommunications relay services). To keep all of these services, please have your Equipment, if your Equipment is capable of doing so, connected to a landline.

(i) No 0+ or Operator Assisted Calling: The Equipment, if not connected to a landline, does not support 0+ or operator assisted calling (including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls, 900 or calling card calls).

(j) No Directory Listing for Residential Services: The phone numbers you get from us will not be listed in any telephone directories. As a result, someone with your phone number cannot use a reverse directory to lookup your address.

(k) Third-Party Products and Services: We assume no obligation to provide support services for any third party products or services, or for problems with our service caused by third party products or services.

Service Charges, Billing and Payment

(a) Service Charges, Taxes and Fees: We may charge you certain Service fees and other taxes and fees, which may include, but are not limited to, fees for Services; activation fees; usage charges; international usage charges; advanced feature charges; data charges; premium services/add-ons; Equipment purchases or rentals; 911 service fee; regulatory compliance fee(s); Federal Universal Service Fee; federal, state, and/or local taxes; 911 fees; reconnection fees; and shipping and handling charges. Failure to pay any Service fees, other taxes or fees may result in suspension or termination of your account without notice.

(b) Valid Credit or Debit Card Required: In order to purchase or rent Equipment or activate Services from us, you are required to provide us with a valid e-mail address and a credit or debit card number from a card issuer that we accept (“Issuer”), together with the billing address for the card. We reserve the right to stop accepting credit or debit cards from one or more Issuers. If your credit or debit card expires, you close your account, your billing address changes, or your credit or debit card is cancelled and replaced on account of loss or theft, you must advise us at once and provide new credit or debit card information or we may terminate Service to you. You acknowledge and agree that you authorize us and that we do not need to obtain any additional authorization from you for any recurring payments, automatic billing options or updated credit card or debit card information provided by your credit card or debit card company to us. Your account will be automatically terminated if you put a stop payment on your account with a financial institution in connection with payment of any of your monthly or annual charges.

(c) Payments: We accept payment only by credit or debit card. Your purchase or rental of Equipment or activation of Services from us authorizes us to charge your credit or debit card. This authorization will remain valid until 30 days after we receive written notice of your intent to terminate our authority to charge your credit or debit card. If you provide such notice, we will charge your credit or debit card for any applicable termination fee and any other outstanding charges and terminate your Services.

(i) Collection: If your Services are terminated, you will remain fully liable to us for all charges pursuant to this Agreement and any and all costs we incur to collect such amounts, including, without limitation, collection costs and attorneys’ fees.

(ii) Notices: You understand that it is difficult for us to distinguish between credit and debit cards. You agree to waive your rights under Regulation E of the United States Federal Reserve to receive ten days advance notice from us regarding the amount that we will debit from your account. While we may send you messages about your billing, we are not obligated to do so. We may change or cease our messages at any time without notice to you.

(iii) Late and Partial Payments: We may add late-payment charges to any past-due amounts at the lower of 1.5% per month of the past-due amounts or the maximum rate allowed by law. Our acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “paid in full” or with other restrictions) shall not waive any of our rights to collect the full amount of the charges. If charges cannot be processed through your credit or debit card, we may add a processing fee of $15 or any lesser amount if limited by state law.

(d) Automatic Billing: Certain of our Services, including but not limited to our Premier Service, Home Security, International Bundle and prepaid billing deposits, feature automatic rebilling. In such circumstances, for your convenience, your credit card will be automatically billed at the end of each term which will renew your membership for another like term. You may terminate automatic rebilling at any time by contacting our Customer Care Department using the contact information posted on the website at least thirty (30) days before rebilling is to take place that you are terminating the Service. Failure on your part to notify us of your desire not to be re-billed, will result in your account being re-billed and you agree to hold harmless and indemnify us from any and all claims of wrongful billing.

(f) No Service Credit: You acknowledge that Services are provided on a commercially reasonable efforts basis using the public network and third-party networks. Therefore, Zonitel will not provide any credits, refunds or other compensation for interruptions of Service or failure of Equipment.

(g) Billing Disputes: If you dispute any charges from us, you must notify us in writing within 30 days after notification to you of the charges (or within any greater period required by law); otherwise, you will be deemed to have waived any right to contest such charges. During the period of a billing dispute, our receipt and acceptance of a partial payment shall not be construed as a payment in full of the contested amount, as set forth below. All notices of disputed charges should be sent to: Zonitel Solutions LLC, c/o Billing Department, 403 W Grand Parkway S Ste F #304, Katy, TX 77494, or via e-mail at accounting@Zonitel.com.

(h) Reactivation and Number Change Fee: You agree that we may charge you a fee for reactivation after a period of non-use or to change the phone number associated with the Equipment.

(i) Number Porting Fee: You agree that we may charge you a fee for porting your phone number from another provider. Number porting is subject to availability and other restrictions in certain geographic areas, and to policies of the provider from whom the phone number port is requested. You should allow up to 21 days, or longer depending upon your provider, for number porting to be completed, and should not cancel your existing phone service until the number port is completed.

(j) Collect Calls and Third-Party Billing: Should you incur charges for collect calls or other third-party service billed to your Zonitel phone number, Zonitel will charge you the cost of the call or service, as determined by the billing party, plus an additional service charge calculated as a percentage of the billing party amount. Failure to pay for these charges may result in suspension or termination of your account.

Return of Equipment and Refunds

(a) Purchases Directly from Zonitel: If you bought your Equipment directly from Zonitel, you may return the Equipment to us within 30 days of the date you received the Equipment (or as otherwise required by law) and we will refund the purchase price to you, provided that you:

(ii) Terminate your account with us within the same 30-day period;

(iii) Return original proof of purchase with the Equipment, together with all parts, and accessories;

(iv) Obtain a valid return authorization number from our customer care department prior to returning the Equipment to us by calling 833-966-4835; and

(b) No Refunds on Unused Services: Subject to applicable law, there are no refunds for unused service terms and all Service charges, taxes, fees and prepaid balances are non-refundable.

Termination of Services

(a) By You: You may terminate any or all Services by contacting our Customer Care Department using the contact information posted on the website. You may make the termination effective at any time after five (5) working days from your termination request, except for Services where a minimum initial term is specified, in which case the termination may be effective on any date after the minimum initial term expires, plus five (5) working days. There are no refunds for unused service terms.

(b) By Us: We may terminate any or all of your Services or use of your Equipment at any time if any charge by us to your credit or debit card is declined or reversed, if your credit or debit card expires or is cancelled and you have not provided us with a valid replacement credit or debit card, or if you otherwise fail to pay any charges, taxes, or fees. Any attempt to use or use of a stolen credit or debit card will result in termination of all of your Services and use of your Equipment. We may terminate your use of the Equipment or of any or all Services if you fail to pay undisputed charges after they are due or within five (5) business days after we have notified you that, in our sole but reasonable discretion, such disputed charges are valid and should be paid. We may terminate or modify your use of the Equipment or of any or all Services immediately if we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that you violated any of your obligations in this Agreement or that you violated the license granted in Section 4. We may terminate any element of the Services provided to you (but not your use of the Equipment for unlimited calling) for any other reason or no reason by providing notice to you of at least ten (10) working days.

(c) Phone Number: The phone number assigned to your account may be re-assigned if your Services are terminated by you or by Zonitel, including when your services are terminated because you returned your Equipment to a Retailer, as set forth in Section 12(b). If you wish to transfer your phone number to another service, you must do so prior to your Services being terminated, otherwise your phone number may not be available for transfer.

(d) Responsibility for Charges and Reconfiguration of Telephone Line: You will be required to pay for all Service charges, taxes, and fees through the date of termination. You will also be required to pay any termination charges for a terminated Service, unless we terminate the Services pursuant to the last sentence of Section 13(b). You will be responsible for arranging with your local telephone service company for any reconfiguration of your local telephone service line and for paying any charges from your local telephone service company for such reconfiguration. If you terminate our Instant Second Line Service, you must remove the “call forward on busy” feature on your telephone service line or redirect the call forwarding to a different telephone number.

(e) Reactivation: If you wish to reactivate a terminated account, and we agree at our sole discretion to reactivate the account, you will be required to pay the reactivation fee as set forth on our website at https://zonitel.com/fees.

Warranties

(a) Limited Equipment Warranty: We provide a limited warranty on the Equipment as to manufacturing defects for a period of ONE (1) year from the date of purchase or rental (the “Limited Warranty”). This 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, damage by a Retailer, damage from dropping, abuse, water damage, electrical or lightning, or from other types of customer handling. Your sole remedy for any breach of this limited warranty is to obtain a repaired or replacement item of Equipment. You must include with the returned Equipment a letter stating that you are returning the equipment for warranty repair or replacement and state the nature of the defect. The capability to use the Equipment to make calls, as described and qualified herein, will continue with any Equipment obtained from us to replace the original Equipment under this warranty. This Limited Warranty does NOT cover cost of shipment. You must be registered with Zonitel as the primary account holder of record to exercise rights under this paragraph.

(b) Option to extend Limited Equipment Warranty: During the first year of coverage for purchased Equipment, the customer has the option to extend the Limited Warranty for additional periods for a one-time charge, as more fully described on our website and incorporated by reference herein. Separate terms and conditions apply to that extended limited warranty.

(c) Requests for Replacement Equipment: To request replacement Equipment under the terms of this paragraph, the customer is required to call and speak with a member of Zonitel Customer Support at 1-833-966-4835. The customer must provide a valid credit card (American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa). Zonitel will ship replacement Equipment along with a shipping label to return the damaged or broken Equipment. The customer is required to return the damaged or broken Equipment within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the replacement Equipment or the credit card on file will be charged. Should Zonitel determine that the damaged or broken Equipment is not covered under the terms of this paragraph, the customer will have fourteen (14) days to return the replacement Equipment or the credit card on file will be charged for the full retail price of the replacement Equipment plus any associated taxes, shipping and handling fees.

(d) No Other Warranties: OTHER THAN THE LIMITED EQUIPMENT WARRANTY EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ON THE EQUIPMENT, USE OF THE EQUIPMENT, OR ON ANY SERVICE. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ANY WARRANTY ARISING BY USAGE OF TRADE, COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY SERVICES WILL BE WITHOUT FAILURE, DELAY, INTERRUPTION, ERROR, DEGRADATION OF VOICE QUALITY OR LOSS OF CONTENT, DATA, OR INFORMATION, OR THAT THE FIRMWARE OR SOFTWARE IS ERROR FREE. ANY STATEMENTS AND DESCRIPTIONS CONCERNING THE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES BY ZONITEL OR ITS AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES ARE INFORMATIONAL AND ARE NOT GIVEN AS A WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

THIS AGREEMENT GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. THE DISCLAIMERS AND EXCLUSIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE HEREOF.

(e) No Warranties Against Occurrences: YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES ARE NOTIFICATION, SIGNALING AND DETECTION EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES. THE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES DO NOT ELIMINATE OCCURRENCES OF EVENTS, SUCH AS FIRES, FLOODS, BURGLARIES, ROBBERIES, AND MEDICAL ISSUES. FURTHER, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES MAY NOT AVERT OR MINIMIZE SUCH OCCURRENCES OF EVENTS, OR THEIR CONSEQUENCES, AND, THEREFORE, ZONITEL MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE) THAT THE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES WILL SO AVERT OR MINIMIZE SUCH OCCURRENCES OF EVENTS, OR THEIR CONSEQUENCES.

Arbitration

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM ZONITEL. In the event that Zonitel is not able to resolve a dispute it has with you, any member of your household, or any of your guests or any user of your Equipment or Services arising out of or relating to use of the Equipment or Services after 60 days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any Zonitel claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy, End User License Agreement (if applicable), including any future modifications of those agreements by Zonitel, the charges for Equipment and Services, and other related materials found on our website, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. The arbitration will be conducted in Harris County, Texas, unless you and Zonitel agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Zonitel from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to protect any of Zonitel’s proprietary interests. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AND ZONITEL ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.

You agree to comply fully with all relevant export laws and regulations of the United States, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, administered by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (the “U.S. Export Controls”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you expressly agree that you shall not export, directly or indirectly, re-export, divert, or transfer any portion of the Equipment or Services or any direct product or technical data thereof to any destination, company, or person restricted or prohibited by U.S. Export Controls.
