4. EMERGENCY SERVICES/E911

INTERNET-ONLY E911 DIALING IS DIFFERENT THAN TRADITIONAL 911 SERVICE AND IS GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS ENHANCED 911 OR E911.

911 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND WARNING LABELS.

CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LOYALTY FORGE’S EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES DO NOT SUPPORT 911 EMERGENCY DIALING OR OTHER EMERGENCY FUNCTIONS IN THE SAME WAY THAT TRADITIONAL WIRELINE 911 SERVICES WORK. THE DIFFERENCES ARE DETAILED IN THIS SECTION AND CUSTOMER AGREES TO NOTIFY ANY POTENTIAL USER OF THE SERVICES, WHO MAY PLACE CALLS USING CUSTOMER’S SERVICES, OF THE 911 LIMITATIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN. CUSTOMER AGREES TO RESPOND AND AFFIRMATIVELY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT LOYALTY FORGE HAS ADVISED CUSTOMER OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH LOYALTY FORGE’S E911 SERVICE MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN COMPARISON TO TRADITIONAL 911 EMERGENCY DIALING. LOYALTY FORGE ADVISES CUSTOMER TO MAINTAIN AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF ACCESSING TRADITIONAL 911 SERVICES.

ELECTRICAL POWER.

CUSTOMER HAS NO CLAIM AGAINST LOYALTY FORGE FOR INTERRUPTION OR DISRUPTION OF SUCH SYSTEMS BY THE SERVICES.

OTHER OUTAGES AND DELAYS.

SOME OUTAGES FOR ANY REASON MAY PREVENT 911 DIALING FROM FUNCTIONING. SUCH OUTAGES MAY OCCUR FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO NETWORK CONGESTION, INABILITY TO PROVISION E911 ADDRESS IN REALTIME, PROGRAMMING OR SOFTWARE ERRORS, A THIRD PARTY OUTAGE. E911 PROVIDES REDUCED SPEED IN THE ROUTING OF A 911 CALL COMPARED TO THE TRADITIONAL 911 DIALING OVER TRADITIONAL PUBLIC TELEPHONE NETWORKS. E911 SERVICE DOES NOT GUARANTESS THAT EMERGENCY CALL WILL ANSWERED BY LIVE OPERATOR. CALLS OVER E911 SERVICE HAVE HIGHER RISK OF ENCOUNTERING A BUSY SIGNAL.

LOYALTY FORGE’S E911 SERVICE IS A MANDATORY COMPONENT OF OUTBOUND VOICE SERVICE FROM CUSTOMER’S SIP COMPATIBLE DEVICE FOR CUSTOMERS USING THE SERVICE FROM USA OR CANADA. E911 SERVICE IS SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY WITHIN YOUR CALLING JURISDICTION. E911 SERVICE IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN SELECTED AREAS WITHIN USA AND CANADA. CUSTOMERS WHO SUBSCRIBE TO LOYALTY FORGE’S E911 SERVICE WILL BE REQUIRED TO REGISTER THE PHYSICAL LOCATION OF THEIR EQUIPMENT WITH LOYALTY FORGE, AND AGREE TO UPDATE THE LOCATION WHENEVER THE PHYSICAL LOCATION OF SERVICE CHANGES.

CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT ANY ENHANCED LOCATION INFORMATION PASSED TO AN EMERGENCY OPERATOR BY LOYALTY FORGE WILL BE BASED UPON THE PHYSICAL LOCATION PROVIDED TO LOYALTY FORGE’S CUSTOMER. IN THE EVENT THAT THE PHYSICAL LOCATION HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED OR IS NOT COMPLETE, LOYALTY FORGE MAY ATTEMPT TO ROUTE A 911 CALL TO THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY CENTER.

CUSTOMER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LOYALTY FORGE’S E911 SERVICE HAS CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS WHICH MAKES IT DIFFERENT FROM TRADITIONAL, LEGACY, PSTN CIRCUIT-SWITCHED 911 SERVICE.

BECAUSE CUSTOMER CIRCUMSTANCES VARY, CUSTOMERS SHOULD CAREFULLY EVALUATE THEIR REQUIREMENTS WHEN DECIDING WHETHER TO RELY UPON LOYALTY FORGE’S E911 SERVICE. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE THE TECHNOLOGY OR COMBINATION OF TECHNOLOGIES BEST SUITED TO MEET CUSTOMER’S EMERGENCY CALLING NEEDS, AND TO MAKE THE NECESSARY PROVISIONS FOR ACCESS TO EMERGENCY CALLING SERVICES (SUCH AS MAINTAINING A CONVENTIONAL LANDLINE PHONE OR WIRELESS PHONE AS A BACKUP MEANS OF COMPLETING EMERGENCY CALLS). THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS DISTINGUISH LOYALTY FORGE’S E911 SERVICE FROM TRADITIONAL, LEGACY, CIRCUIT-SWITCHED 911 SERVICE:

REGISTRATION OF PHYSICAL LOCATION: YOU MUST REGISTER WITH LOYALTY FORGE THE PHYSICAL LOCATION WHERE YOU WILL BE USING LOYALTY FORGE SERVICE. YOU MUST CONFIRM THE ACCURACY OF YOUR PHYSICAL ADDRESS VIA CALL TO 922. IF YOUR ADDRESSES CAN NOT BE VALIDATED WE MAY RESTRICT YOUR USE OF LOYALTY FORGE SERVICE. YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT THE CURRENTLY SELECTED E911 ADDRESS CORRESPONDS TO YOUT PHYSICAL LOCATION. IF YOU DO NOT UPDATE YOUR LOCATION, ANY 911 CALLS YOU MAKE MAY BE ROUTED TO THE WRONG EMERGENCY CENTER AND MAY RESULT IN HELP BEING SENT TO THE WRONG ADDRESS. FOR PURPOSES OF 911 DIALING, ONLY ONE ADDRESS CAN BE SELECTED AS THE CURRENT ADDRESS. IF YOU MOVE OR RELOCATE SIP/ATA DEVICE/IP PHONE CONNECTED TO LOYALTY FORGE TO ANOTHER LCOATION, YOU MUST UPDATE YOUR E911 ADDRESS. LOYALTY FORGE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHARGE YOU EXTRA FEES WHICH WE MAY INCUR WHEN 911 RESPONSE PERSONNEL ARE SENT TO THE WRONG ADDRESS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT UPDATED YOUR PHYSICAL LOCATION.

** LOYALTY FORGE’S E911 SERVICE WILL NOT FUNCTION IF CUSTOMER’S ATA, PHONE OR TRUNKING GATEWAY FAILS OR IS NOT CONFIGURED CORRECTLY OR IF CUSTOMER’S SERVICE IS NOT FUNCTIONING FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ELECTRICAL POWER OUTAGE, INTERNET SERVICE OUTAGE, OR SUSPENSION OR DISCONNECTION OF SERVICE BECAUSE OF BILLING, NEGATIVE OR ZERO ACCOUNT BALANCE OR OTHER ISSUES. IF THERE IS A POWER OUTAGE, CUSTOMER MAY BE REQUIRED TO RESET OR RECONFIGURE THE EQUIPMENT BEFORE BEING ABLE TO USE THE LOYALTY FORGE SERVICE, INCLUDING FOR E911 PURPOSES. E911 REGISTERED ADDRESS AND THE AUTOMATIC NUMBER ASSIGNED MAY FAIL TO BE PASSED PROPERLY TO THE LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE OPERATOR.

** LOYALTY FORGE DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER WHETHER, WHEN OR THE MANNER IN WHICH E911 CALLS ARE ANSWERED OR HANDLED BY ANY EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER. WE DISCLAIM ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ABILITY OF THE EQUIPMENT TO CONNECT TO AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER, THE CONDUCT OF THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER AND THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY CALLING CENTER. LOYALTY FORGE RELYES ON THIRD PARTIES TO PROVIDE 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.

** WITH E911 SERVICE, WHEN YOU DIAL 911 YOUR CURRENT E911 ADDRESS AND AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGNED E911 CALL-BACK TELEPHONE NUMBER IS TRANSMITED TO THE PSAP/(EMERGENCY ANSWERING CENTER). EMERGENCY OPERATORS MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION THEY NEED TO SEND HELP AND REACH YOU VIA A CALLBACK FOR UP-TO 24 HOURS AFTER 911 CALL. SOME EMERGENCY CENTERS ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO RECEIVE, PROCESS, OR RETAIN TELEPHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS AND WILL PROVIDE LIMITED E911 ASSITANCE. PLEASE NOTE, YOU MAY RECEIVE LIMITED E911 OR NO E911 AT ALL IF YOUR SIP DEVICE IS REGISTERED FROM GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION DIFFERENT FROM CURRENTLY CONFIGURED E911 ADDRESS OR IF A THIRD PARTY FAILS TO PROPERLY DELIVER ADDRESS INFORMATION AND TELEPHONE NUMBER TO THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER. AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGNED CALL-BACK NUMBER WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM YOUR LOYALTY FORGE PHONE NUMBER. WITH LIMITED E911, THE 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. SOME CUSTOMERS MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO EITHER BASIC 911 OR E911. IN SOME CASES 911 CALL MAY BE SENT TO THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY CALL CENTER. EMERGENCY PERSONNEL DO NOT RECEIVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER OR PHYSICAL LOCATION WHEN YOUR 911 CALL IS ROUTED TO THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY CALL CENTER.
