PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY.
BY CLICKING "I AGREE," YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
LIMITATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 911 AND E-911 EMERGENCY SERVICES AVAILABLE
THROUGH CALLTURE CALLING SERVICES.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE ANY CALLTURE SERVICE.
DEFINITIONS -- Terms capitalized when used within this document
have the following meanings:
"911 Services" means functionality that allows end users to contact emergency
services by dialing the digits 9-1-1.
"Enhanced 911 Service" means the ability to route an emergency call to the
designated entity authorized to receive such calls, which in many cases is a
Public Safety Answering Point ("PSAP"), serving the Customer's registered or
user-provided address and to deliver the user's telephone number and registered
address information automatically to the emergency operator answering the call.
"Basic 911 Service" means the ability to route an emergency call to the
designated entity authorized to receive such calls serving the Customer's
registered or user-provided address. With basic 911, the emergency operator
answering the phone will not have access to the caller's telephone number or
address information unless the caller provides such information verbally during
the emergency call.
With Enhanced 911 Service ("E911"), when a caller from your registered
location dials the digits 9-1-1 from any CALLTURE offered calling service that
is associated with a phone number and a properly registered address, the phone
number and address are automatically sent to the local emergency center serving
the location. Emergency operators will have access to this information
regardless of whether the caller is able verbally to provide such information.
With Basic 911 Service, when a caller from your registered location dials
the digits 9-1-1, the call is sent to the local emergency center serving that
location. Operators answering the call will not have automatic access to the
caller's call-back telephone number or the associated registered address,even
if that address has been properly registered, because the emergency
center will not be equipped to receive, capture or retain the telephone number
associated with the CALLTURE calling service or the registered address.
Accordingly, callers must be prepared verbally to provide both call-back and
address information. If the call is dropped or disconnected, or if the caller is
unable to speak, the emergency operator answering the call will not be able to
call the caller back or dispatch help to the caller's address.
Emergency Service Disclosure applicable To All calling services offered by
CALLTURE -- The limitations detailed below are applicable to all of CALLTURE's
calling services. Customer agrees to inform all users of CALLTURE's
calling services of the potential complications arising from the delivery of
emergency services when dialing 911. Specifically, Customer acknowledges and
agrees to inform all employees, guests and other third persons who may use
CALLTURE's calling services of the limitations detailed below associated with
all of CALLTURE's emergency calling services.
1. All of CALLTURE's Calling Services Have 911 Capabilities that are
Different Than Those Offered by Traditional Providers of Telephone Services: Customer
acknowledges and agrees that all of CALLTURE's calling services are Internet
based and that the 911 services associated with all of CALLTURE's calling
services are different from those offered by traditional providers of telephone
services. CALLTURE's calling services are not meant to be relied upon in the
case of an emergency. While CALLTURE attempts to provide access to emergency
service, the service is not intended to be used to support or to carry emergency
calls to any type of hospitals, law enforcement agencies, medical care units or
any other kind of emergency services. YOU SHOULD MAINTAIN AN ALTERNATIVE
MEANS OF CALLING EMERGENCY SERVICES.
2. 911 Service Will NOT Work If You Experience A Power Outage Or An Outage
Or any network disruption: Outages in your electricity and problems with
your connection, including network congestion, will disrupt any CALLTURE calling
service and you will not be able to use it for 911 emergency calling.
3. 911 Service Will NOT Work If Your Service Is Disconnected Or You
Experience An Outage For Any Reason: If you have a service outage due to
a suspension of your account due to billing issues or for any other reason, you
will not be able to use any CALLTURE calling services for any calls, including
for emergency service or 911 calls.
4. You May Not Be Able to Reach the Correct Emergency Services If You Have
A Telephone Number That Does Not Match Your Actual Geographic Location: All
911 Services will only be available in the location associated with the
particular CALLTURE assigned direct-inward-dial ("DID") telephone number
assigned to the Customer. For Basic 911 Services or E911 to be accurately routed
to the appropriate emergency call center, the Customer must provide a CALLTURE
assigned DID or a DID ported to CALLTURE as the call-back telephone number for
all 911 calls. Additionally, if you are using the service in one particular area
that has a certain area code but you are using a telephone number with a
different area code, when you dial 911 you may not be able to reach any
emergency personnel. Even if you do reach emergency personnel, you may not be
calling the emergency personnel near your actual location and the emergency
personnel may not be able to transfer your call or respond to your emergency.
5. You May Not Be Able To Reach the Correct Emergency Service If You
Register An Incorrect Service Address: Customer further acknowledges
that failure to provide a correct physical address in the correct format may
cause all Basic 911 Service or E911 calls to be routed to the incorrect local
emergency service provider. Furthermore, Customer recognizes that use of any
CALLTURE calling service from a location other than the location to which such
service was ordered, i.e., the "primary registered address," may result in Basic
911 Service or E911 calls being routed to the incorrect local emergency service
provider.
6. You May Not Be Able to Reach the Correct Emergency Services If You Move
Your Phone to a Location Different From the Address You Initially Registered: It
is important that you register your location every time you move the equipment
associated with your CALLTURE calling service. If you move your CALLTURE
equipment to another location without reregistering, when you dial 911, you may
not be able to reach any emergency personnel. Even if you do reach emergency
personnel, you will not be calling the emergency personnel near your actual
location and this emergency personnel may not be able to transfer your call or
respond to your emergency.
7. You May Not Be Able to Reach the Correct Emergency Services If You Fail
to Reregister Your New Location Or Call 911 Within 48 Hours of Updating Your
Location: It is important that you register your location every time you
move the equipment associated with your CALLTURE calling service. When you
change your location, it may take up to 48 hours for your location change to be
reflected in our records. During that time, you may not be able to reach any
emergency service provider or may not be able to reach the correct emergency
services provider by calling 911 with CALLTURE calling services.
8. CALLTURE calling services allow one emergency service address to be
associated with each telephone number: Certain CALLTURE calling services
do not have a telephone number associated with them but allow for placing and
receiving calls. For example, CALLTURE offers a softphone client. Customers may
choose to buy calling services from CALLTURE that have a telephone number but
then use the softphone client to allow multiple users to place and receive calls
using one telephone number. Customers must use the softphone client and the
CALLTURE calling service that has a telephone number associated with it from the
same location. Using a service that does not have a telephone number in a remote
location will result in the wrong address information being sent in the event of
placing an emergency call by dialing 911. The emergency call operator may not be
able to transfer the call to appropriate emergency call operators. In the event
that Customer intends to use CALLTURE calling services in multiple locations, at
least one telephone number will be required for each location. You acknowledge
and agree to this limitation and agree that you will obtain at least one
telephone number for each location associated with the CALLTURE calling
service.

YOU HAVE READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE LIMITATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 911 AND E-911 EMERGENCY SERVICES
AVAILABLE THROUGH THE CALLTURE CALLING SERVICES.
CALLTURE is not required to offer access to emergency services under any
