Failure to provide such notice within such ninety (90) day period shall be deemed Customer’s acceptance of the rate increase. In the event the Customer elects to terminate its service with PHONEONE at each or any of the locations affected by a rate increase, this Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect for all other locations covered by this Agreement which were not affected by the rate increase. If any legal authority such as Federal, State, Local or supplier changes, modifies, repeals, or initiates any rules, orders, tariffs, or other legal requirements that impact PhoneOne’s ability to maintain this Agreement in whole or in part and in PhoneOne’s sole determination, PhoneOne may terminate this Agreement without any liability to PhoneOne.

If PhoneOne increases rates on Digital Voice Flex, our Call Path Solution Plan (excluding surcharges and fees) under this Agreement for any location covered by this Agreement, the Customer has up to ninety (90) days from the earlier of its receipt of the first invoice reflecting the rate increase, or prior written notification, if any, of such rate increase to elect (by written notice to PhoneOne or by telephone notice by contacting PhoneOne Customer Service subject to recorded Third Party Verification) to either: (i) migrate the service to another PhoneOne product (including but not limited to Business Voice or SIP Trunking, ).

If any legal authority such as Federal, State, Local or supplier changes, modifies, repeals, or initiates any rules, orders, tariffs, or other legal requirements that impact PhoneOne’s ability to maintain this Agreement in whole or in part and in PhoneOne’s sole determination, PhoneOne may terminate this Agreement without any liability to PhoneOne.

For Customer’s with TDM services in the AT&T territory, AT&T is increasing their activity to retire copper facilities and move these services to VoIP solutions. Should the retirement of TDM services occur while Customer has AT&T locations under contract with PhoneOne, the rates for those locations may have be to renegotiated or the Customer will have the option to move those locations to a PhoneOne provided VoIP solution, which in most cases will be at the same or lower rates than they are paying for TDM services.

Agreements including Broadband Services (i.e. Cable, DSL) have been qualified through PhoneOne’s qualification tool in order to provide availability based on the specific service and speed requested by Customer. These qualification tools can be less than 100% accurate and actual availability of service won’t be known until order placement. After order placement if it is discovered that the selected Broadband Service cannot be  delivered, for example because of distance or construction costs, PhoneOne will automatically move ahead with the next available qualified option and will, when requested, provide documentation to Customer indicating the reason for fallout of the initial product. Furthermore, select Broadband Services may be quoted with a discount based upon a minimum quantity ordered within a defined time period. If the minimum order quantity is not met  within the defined time period, PhoneOne reserves the right to revert pricing to the PhoneOne rates that are in effect at that time, beginning with the next billing cycle following the end of the defined time period.

  1. PHONEONE SERVICE FEATURES & CAPABILITIES. PhoneOne Service offerings include numerous Service tools, features and capabilities (collectively referred to as “Service attributes”), which are either included with the Customer’s base Service offering or provided as part of a Service add-on or upgrade fee. PhoneOne reserves the right to add, change or discontinue any Service attribute or their functionality, as determined or deemed necessary by PhoneOne in its sole discretion, without liability to Customer. PhoneOne may make commercially reasonable updates to the Service attributes from time to time. In certain situations the addition of new Service attributes may be contingent upon Customer’s agreement to applicable additional governing terms and conditions. If PhoneOne makes a material change to the Service attributes, PhoneOne will use reasonable efforts to inform Customer before their implementation, but reserves the right to implement changes immediately if such action is deemed necessary by PhoneOne. PhoneOne reserves the right to make changes to this Agreement (and any linked documents), including pricing, to the extent due to underlying supplier changes or changes to our costs. Unless otherwise noted by PhoneOne, pricing changes will become effective 30 days following notification to Customer of such change. Should any Service attribute be discontinued, PhoneOne will use its best efforts to provide a replacement service with similar attributes. If PhoneOne is unable to provide a replacement with similar attributes, and if the Customer is paying an add-on or upgrade fee for the discontinued service, the price for that feature will be removed (and/or Customer’s account will be credited accordingly), with no further liability to either the Customer or to PhoneOne related thereto.
  1. CANCELLATION. In the event the Customer should cancel any Service prior to the completion of the Term commitment made by Customer pursuant to this Agreement, then Customer shall be responsible: (a) for any PhoneOne and local service provider’s installation requirements, costs and charges and any such termination charges in the event service is cancelled prior to committed Term and (b) for any monthly recurring charges for circuits, loops or connecting equipment necessary for the Services in the event service is terminated prior to completion of the committed Term and (c) for any and all promotional items or discounted services on this Agreement.

If Customer chooses to place an information services provider call or elects to make or receive calls via a carrier other than the PhoneOne LSP or its affiliates, the Customer agrees that it shall be solely liable for such calls, and any or all charges related to such calls.
  1. QUALITY ASSURANCE. PhoneOne’s service quality is intended to be competitive.

The Customer must send PhoneOne written notification that they intend to move the lines to another provider. The notice shall be sent to PhoneOne, LLC, Attention Contract Administration at P.O. Box 2466, Cumming, Georgia 30028. The remaining lines continue in force and are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
  1. OBLIGATION TO PAY. Any credit limit established for Customer shall not be exceeded at any time, unless Customer has received the prior written consent of PhoneOne. If Customer’s charges do or are projected by PhoneOne to exceed its credit limit, or if there is a change in Customer’s credit rating, PhoneOne may require a security deposit or other assurance(s) of payment as a condition to continuing to provide Services (except where such deposits or assurances are prohibited). Customer shall timely pay for all Services in United States dollars. Customer is responsible for payment of all charges incurred in connection with Services furnished to Customer’s number, network addresses and authorization codes. PhoneOne will invoice Customer once a month, for usage and other charges related to the Services.

All billing disputes must be received by PhoneOne in writing within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, and to be effective, must be made in good faith, with an a detailed itemization of the nature and amount of the dispute, and with Customer timely paying all undisputed amounts. Invoiced amounts not timely and appropriately disputed are final. Delinquent balances will be assessed a one and one-half percent (1.50%) per month interest delinquency charge, not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law plus all expenses of collection, including attorney fees. A reactivation fee of $30.50 per Virtual Number or VoIP seat and $250 for Data Circuits applies to reactivate accounts suspended for non-payment. Customers suspended or cancelled due to non-payment may be required to give a deposit or be placed on recurring payment by credit card or electronic debit before being reactivated or reinstated.
  1. TERM AND TERMINATION. Customer commits to purchasing and paying for the Services for the minimum term stated in the Agreement (the “Initial term”). The Initial Term shall commence as of the first billing cycle during which Services are provided to Customer. After the Initial Term and any successor term (Term), this Agreement will renew automatically for an additional twelve (12) month period unless either party provides written notice of cancellation to the address listed below (in the case of notice from Customer) at least one hundred twenty (120) days (but not prior to one hundred eighty (180) days) before the new Term commences. To insure accurate billing of services, it is the customer’s responsibility to notify PhoneOne Account Management when any services that are provided by PhoneOne are to be discontinued.

Customer may not be able to use the Service, IP Phones or CPE and Other Equipment to call for emergency assistance by dialing 911. 911 or E911 calls may be routed to the nearest Public Safety Answering Point office (PSAP). Typically, these calls are answered by the front desk of the PSAP and then routed to an emergency operator at that location. However, some PSAPs will not accept calls in this manner as the following may occur: (a) calls may not connect to the PSAP, or may improperly ring to the administrative line of the PSAP, which may not be staffed after hours, or by trained 911 operators; (b) calls may correctly connect to the PSAP, but not automatically transmit the  user’s phone number and/or location information; or (c) calls may fail or be delayed on account of a number of circumstances that may include, but not be limited to, the following: (i) Customer uses the Service with equipment other than PhoneOne provided or approved equipment; (ii) Customer calls from a location other  than the single location where PhoneOne installed Customer’s Service; (iii) Customer’s router does not have the necessary configuration; (iv) Customer’s Service fails for any reason (including without limitation, power outage, Internet connection is down or interrupted, equipment malfunctions, or any Service outage including a Service outage caused by suspension or termination of Customer’s Service); (v) maintenance work is being performed; (vi) Customer’s equipment, phones, Internet connectivity router, integrated access device, customer premises routers and switches, or IP enabled devices used with the Service fail; (vii) Customer’s voice and data networks/equipment or premises environment fail; (viii) Customer’s area does not have 911 service; (ix) Customer calls from outside the United States; (x) Customer uses a telephone number that is from a geographic area other than Customer’s Service location (outside of Customer’s native rate center); (xi) there is network congestion, radio interference, weak wireless signals or other causes of reduced Internet access service performance; or (xii) Service has not been installed for 30 days (collectively, the “Limitations”). Customer agrees to notify, as appropriate, any of its users of the Service who may place calls using Customer’s phone services of the foregoing Limitations. PHONEONE recommends Customer maintain an alternate means of accessing Emergency Services, such as traditional services or cellular phone services. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT THESE 9-1-1 SERVICE LIMITATIONS ARE APPLICABLE TO THE SERVICE. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, THE CUSTOMER ACCEPTS THE SERVICE ON THESE TERMS,  AND HEREBY WAIVES, AND SHALL INDEMNIFY PHONEONE WITH RESPECT TO, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST PHONEONE, ITS AFFILIATES, UNDERLYING CARRIERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE LIMITATIONS, INCLUDING THOSE BASED ON PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE LIMITATIONS.

20a. STATE SPECIFIC EMERGENCY SERVICES 911 AND E911 CALLING NOTIFICATIONS. Many states, including the State of Oklahoma, require that owners or operators of Multi Line Telephone Systems (MLTS) must configure systems to allow direct dialing to 911. In addition, MLTS need to provide notification to a central location when a person within a facility dials 911, as long as the system may be configured to provide such notification without an improvement to the system’s hardware. Please reference State Specific Notifications at https://MyPhoneOne.com.

20b. WIRELESS VOICE EMERGENCY SERVICES 911 CALLING. 911 calls are routed based on the wireless network’s automatic location technology. Customer is responsible for providing their location address to the Emergency Response Center responsible for sending first responders in the response to a 911 call. The converter device has a battery backup power. However, if a customer connects a landline phone to the device that itself requires external electric power to operate (e.g. a cordless phone that has not  been re-charged), the customer will not be able to place and receive calls over that phone during a power outage. To use the converter’s battery backup power, a corded analog landline phone must be plugged into the converter device.

  1. SESSION INITIATION PROTOCOL USAGE. Digital Voice Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is to be used exclusively for the benefit of PhoneOne customers. Customer may not share, resell or allow the use of PhoneOne SIP service, in whole or in part, by any third party, including but not limited to other providers of computer or communications services. SIP Service may not be used to originate or terminate traffic associated with any switched service obtained from a third party.

All traffic associated with PhoneOne’s SIP offering is limited to delivery by Customer to PhoneOne via SIP-origination, with all traffic delivered by PhoneOne to Customer being limited to SIP-termination. Customers will not use the Services to originate or terminate TDM or voice  calls in a manner that bypasses applicable switched access or other charges. In addition, Customer expressly agrees, represents and warrants that no calls will be made via use of PhoneOne’s SIP Service from any location other than (i) the actual Customer Premises specifically designated by Customer on the Pricing Exhibit and Service Orders, as applicable, and at which SIP Service is established or, (ii) from Customer branch locations interconnected to such Customer Premises by PhoneOne provided VPN or third-party networks.

Customer further represents and warrants that it will use the Services in conformance and compliance with the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act and other laws or regulations pertaining to “do not call” lists or registries.

  1. SPECIFIC NON-VOICE SERVICE REQUIREMENTS. Customer shall identify to PhoneOne any and all non-voice systems, including modem use (e.g. point of sale devices), facsimile and security systems, and any changes in the configuration of such systems during the term of this Agreement, as such systems may require special handling. Customer acknowledges that the Service may not be available for use with such systems, either initially or after a change in configuration, because the Service may not be equipped to function with such systems. Customer waives any claim against PhoneOne for the Service being unavailable for use with such systems, either initially or after a change in the configuration of such systems.

Upon deployment of PhoneOne VoIP services, PhoneOne or its suppliers may deliver to the Customer certain hardware products such as Analog Telephone Adaptors or Integrated Access Devices to facilitate interconnectivity with Customer provided facsimile devices, point of sale devices, modems and non-emergency monitoring devices. PhoneOne’s installation responsibilities shall be limited to establishing connectivity between the PhoneOne provided equipment and the PhoneOne VoIP network. The provisioning and compatibility of these devices are provided on a best effort basis. PhoneOne does not guarantee the interoperability with such Customer provided equipment nor shall PhoneOne be responsible for the operation or maintenance of any Customer provided equipment. In addition to the devices mentioned above, many types of non-voice communications equipment, including but not limited to, security / alarm systems that are set up to make automatic phone calls, elevator phones, medical monitoring devices, pool phones or other critical monitoring devices, have not been certified to be compatible with VoIP services and are thus strictly prohibited unless agreed to in writing. Customer waives any claim against PhoneOne for interference with, or disruption of such systems.

  1. LOSS OF SERVICE DUE TO POWER FAILURE OR INTERNET SERVICE OUTAGE. Customer acknowledges and understands that the Service does not function in the event of a power failure.

In connection with Customer’s use of the Services, Customer is solely responsible for all security measures with respect to the prevention of any unauthorized use of the Services, including, but not limited to, the selection, implementation or maintenance of such security measures and safeguarding all information related thereto (together, the “Security Measures”). PhoneOne shall have no liability or obligation in any way with respect to such Security Measures. Furthermore, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Customer is exclusively responsible for the confidentiality and protection of any account information, including, but not limited to, passwords or other security related information (together, “Security Information”) and any unauthorized access to Customer accounts by way of the use of such Security Information. PhoneOne shall have no liability or obligation in any way with respect to such Security Information. Customer shall indemnify and hold PhoneOne harmless from all costs, expenses, claims or actions, whether direct or indirect, in connection with or arising out of Customer’s failure to take such Security Measures or failure to protect such Security Information. Customer shall be solely responsible for payment of long distance, toll and other telecommunications charges incurred through use of the Services being provided hereunder. Customer shall not be excused from paying PhoneOne for Services provided to Customer that are the result of a failure by the Customer to maintain the Security Measures or protect the Security Information as set forth herein. In the  event PhoneOne discovers a failure by Customer to maintain the Security Measures or protect the Security Information, PhoneOne may, but shall not be obligated to, take immediate action, with or without notice to Customer, that is reasonably necessary, in PhoneOne’s sole and absolute discretion, to address the failed Security Measures and/or breach of Security Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood that PhoneOne is under no obligation to investigate the authenticity of calls charged to Customer’s account and shall not be liable for any fraudulent or unauthorized calls processed by PhoneOne and billed to Customer’s account.
  1. MULTIPLE USERS. Customer acknowledges that Customer is executing this Agreement on behalf of all persons who use the Service and/or PhoneOne Equipment through Customer’s computer(s), phone systems, PBXs and other telecommunications equipment. Customer shall have sole responsibility for ensuring that all such other users understand and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that Customer is solely responsible and liable for any and all breaches of the terms and conditions of this Agreement whether such breach is the result of use of the Service and/or the PhoneOne Equipment by Customer or any other user of Customer’s computer(s), phone systems, PBXs and other telecommunications equipment. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PhoneOne against all claims and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of the use of the Service and/or PhoneOne Equipment by any other user of Customer’s computer(s), phone systems, PBXs and other telecommunications equipment.
  1. ACCESS TO CUSTOMER’S PREMISES. Customer authorizes PhoneOne and its employees, agents, contractors and representatives to enter Customer’s premises (the “Premises”) to install, maintain, inspect, alter, repair and remove any PhoneOne provided equipment. All such services shall be conducted at a time agreed to with Customer. If Customer is not the owner of the Premises, upon PhoneOne’s request Customer shall supply PhoneOne with the owner’s name and address, evidence that the Customer is authorized to grant access to the Premises on the owner’s behalf, and (if needed) written consent from the owner of the Premises. Customer also grants its consent to PhoneOne to contact such owner for the purpose of entering into one or more Right of Access and/or Site Lease(s). If Customer does not provide access as provided herein, PhoneOne shall, at its option, a) declare the full amount for the entire term due and payable immediately, or b) elect to terminate this agreement.
  1. NON-RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION. PhoneOne has informed Customer of the recommended minimum requirements, if any, (the “Minimum Requirements”) for efficiently operating the Service. If Customer allows the installation of the Service utilizing hardware, broadband connections, configurations or network topology that does not meet the Minimum Requirements (a “Non-recommended Configuration”), Customer agrees that (i) Customer shall not be entitled to Customer support relating to any issues other than the quality of the signal delivered to Customer’s IP phone or media converter, and (ii) the following limitations of liability shall apply: PHONEONE DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT A NON-RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION WILL ENABLE CUSTOMER TO SUCCESSFULLY ACCESS, OPERATE OR USE THE SERVICE, NOT THAT ANY SUCH INSTALLATION WILL NOT CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CUSTOMER’S EQUIPMENT, PERIPHERALS, SOFTWARE OR DATA.

With the exception of specified PhoneOne VoIP CPE items, customer shall bear the cost of any loss or damage to the CPE from any cause whatsoever, until the purchase price is paid in full. Customer acknowledges that it has sole and complete responsibility to maintain physical, logical and environmental security and control with respect to all Equipment, and PhoneOne shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any breach of security caused by, related to, or arising out of Customer’s failure to maintain proper physical, logical or environmental security with respect to any Equipment. Unless and until purchased, the Equipment is, and at all times shall remain, the sole and exclusive property of PhoneOne, and Customer shall have no right, title or interest therein, except as set forth by this Agreement. Except as described in this Agreement, Customer has no right to purchase or otherwise acquire title to or ownership of any of the Equipment or property of this Agreement no matter that the Equipment or any part thereof may now be, or hereafter become, attached or affixed to real property or any improvements thereon.

The optional Session Border Controllers or Routers that are sometimes provisioned with the initial installation of PhoneOne VoIP services are engineered to meet the typical requirements for customers that have 10 or fewer concurrent call paths and no more than 10MB of broadband capacity. For customers that require or desire a more robust Session Border Controller or Router device to accommodate higher bandwidth thresholds, additional concurrent call paths or to meet other agreed upon criteria, PhoneOne will provide the customer with a quote for an Upgrade alternative. Following installation, should a customer require a Session Border Controller or Router Upgrades for any reason including the need to accommodate higher bandwidth, or additional call path requirements the customer may select to purchase a model that meets their requirements. In addition, installation charges per PhoneOne’s VoIP Professional Services dispatch schedule will apply. While customers are not required to upgrade their Session Border Controller at the time of their initial order placement, should the customer’s VoIP environment exceed the parameters of the quoted PhoneOne Session Border Controller or Router, any PhoneOne VoIP service quality commitments will not apply.

PhoneOne does not make any claims or representations that the Managed Services CPE, VPN Connectivity, Remote Access VPN, Managed Firewall and Security features provide 100% protection from network security threats. Due to the continual introduction of innovative malicious attacks PhoneOne is not able to accept any liability for IP security breaches. The use of PhoneOne’s Managed Service features do not enhance, change or alter any such services, service level agreements or terms under which they may be provided. PhoneOne’s Managed Services Platforms may be configured in a manner that provides both PhoneOne and the Customer with full access to the Web Management Portal functions for the services ordered. Customer understands that PhoneOne will not be held liable for errors or omissions, whether made by either PhoneOne or the customer, related to the initial setting or subsequent changes to Central Management System settings. Upon customer request, PHONEONE can limit OR disallow Customer access to the Web Management Portal. Customer agrees to not (a) disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer any PhoneOne Managed Services Platform component or equipment; (b) copy or otherwise reproduce any PhoneOne Managed Services product, in whole or in part; (c) modify PhoneOne Managed Services elements in any manner, or (d) use the PhoneOne Managed Services product in any manner to provide service bureau, time sharing, or other computer services to third parties.

A fixed monthly charge will be assessed based on the specified amount of data protection chosen. In addition, usage charges will apply based upon the amount of any excess Wireless Failover usage. The purpose for the Wireless Failover Protection is to provide backup in order that the Customer may continue to transmit vital, yet low bandwidth communications such as the processing of credit card or debit card payment information. In the event the Customer elects to utilize the Wireless Failover Protection for any other purpose, notably data transmissions that will consume considerable bandwidth, Customer acknowledges they will be financially liable for any and all overage usage that should occur.

32b. MANAGED SERVICES VPNS. PhoneOne’s Managed Services Platforms can be configured to establish VPN tunnels between our own MSP devices or through compatible 3rd party VPN links.

Customers that require the use of 3rd party links may subscribe to our Standard MSP offering in which case, the subscriber is responsible for validating the compatibility of the 3rd party VPN and for administration of VPN configurations and ongoing maintenance of the Central Management System portals which is used for defining VPN settings.

32c. ALL WIRELESS SERVICES. PhoneOne offers Wireless services on a best effort basis. There are gaps in geographical coverage that, along with other factors both within and beyond our control or that of the wireless service provider (network problems, software, signal strength, physical wireless device, structures, buildings, weather, geography, topography, etc.), that can result in dropped and blocked connections, slower data speeds, lower voice service performance or otherwise impact the quality of services. Customers that subscribe to 4G Wireless Service acknowledge that if the wireless service can successfully default to 3G service, should they cancel the Managed Services Platform and Wireless Service, they will be liable for any applicable cancellation fees. Other than this exception, in the event that Wireless Service is not available and PhoneOne is unable to resolve or otherwise make such service available, Customer may discontinue their Wireless Service offering along with any CPE provided by PhoneOne for that specific location. Wireless services shall not be used for any remote medical monitoring. PhoneOne reserves the right to fulfill service using non-geographic Mobile Telephone Numbers (e.g. 5XX numbers where the NPA begins with a “5”). Customer may not port non-geographic MTNs to another provider as non-geographic numbers are not portable. PhoneOne may change, reassign or eliminate a MTN upon reasonable written notice under certain circumstances: fraud prevention, area code changes, regulatory and statutory law enforcement requirements. Customer shall bear the cost of any equipment reprogramming requirements which may result. Where the selected Wireless service plan includes roaming capabilities, activated equipment which is mobile may roam within areas where roaming coverage is available, but shall not be permanently located in a roaming location. Due to regulatory requirements regarding the wireless service providers network licenses, Customer must obtain PhoneOne’s approval and written agreement before installing, deploying or using any regeneration equipment or similar mechanism (for example, a repeater) to originate, amplify, enhance, retransmit or regenerate Wireless Service.

  1. PRODUCT TRIALS.
