Terms of Service THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (TOS) PROVIDE FOR SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES BY ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF JURY TRIALS. See Section 11. These Terms of Service for ATC VoIP ("ATC"), LLC (this "Agreement") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or an entity that you are representing, hereinafter "you") and ATC, LLC. and its suppliers and licensors (collectively "ATC") for the ATC Services ("Services"). Your use of the Services constitutes your agreement to the terms of this Agreement and ATC's Privacy Policy and you acknowledge that ATC would not agree to provide the Services without that assent. Your use of the Services in combination with a third party's products and services with whom ATC has entered into either (a) a marketing arrangement (a "Marketing Partner") or (b) a resale or distribution agreement (an "Authorized Distributor") which may impose additional terms from that Marketing Partner or Authorized Distributor for that Marketing Partner's or Authorized Distributor's product and services, and, in some instances, ATC's products and services. The terms and conditions and policies of a Marketing Partner or Authorized Distributer may be separate and distinct from ATC's Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and other policies applied by ATC to similar situated customers. The terms of ATC's contracts with Marketing Partners and Authorized Distributors may subject customers to different contractual obligations and policies (such as, but not limited to, customer support, offers, communications, credit scoring, collections, fees and charges, rate plan surcharges, late payment and return check fees and other customary fees and surcharges) than those generally applied to other ATC, Marketing Partner or Authorized Distributor customers. The Services include new products, product changes, upgrades, support and other services. You may only receive the Services if you are a Service subscriber in good standing with a valid, authorized payment method on file with ATC. You understand that you must obtain your own Internet connection in order to use the Services. We do not control your Internet access or the quality of your Internet connection. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR FOR PROBLEMS IN THE SERVICES CAUSED BY YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION OR THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES NOR WILL WE CONTACT ANY OF THESE PROVIDERS ON YOUR BEHALF. Unlimited calling applies only to calls made within the continental United States and Canada. Calls to Alaska, Hawaii and all non-Canadian international calls are subject to additional charges. Additional ATC Services can be purchased by users you designate as administrators by calling ATC Customer Care. You hereby authorize those users with administrative privileges to (i) add these Services to your ATC account and (ii) commit you to pay for these Services on a recurring monthly basis. You further authorize ATC to obtain payment of your then-current statement balance from you each month from your credit card account. You may designate one or more users to be an account administrator with full administrative control of your account from the ATC Portal. For most ATC VoIP customers, the primary administrator for your account is known as the Superuser or, in some cases, a primary administrator (collectively hereinafter, "Superuser"). Upon creation of your account, the individual assigned to be the Superuser is the individual who entered into an agreement with ATC through our online sign-up process or, if the agreement was not entered into online, the individual's whose name is identified on your ATC quote sheet. The Superuser: (i) has the ability to make any changes to the account (e.g., service additions, service deletions, assignment of users, account cancellations, updates to credit cards, etc.); and (ii) is the authorized individual on your account with respect to porting of your telephone numbers to a carrier other than ATC. The Superuser may assign one or more additional administrators on the account and may re-assign "Superuser" status to another user. In the event that you wish to re-assign the Superuser designation on your account and the Superuser is unable to make the change, ATC will require that you submit an email from the Superuser's email address which is on file with ATC or otherwise provide a written request via facsimile, on your letterhead and executed by an officer or owner of the company which you represent. Administrators on the account have the ability to authorize an account cancellation and make changes to the account (e.g., service additions, service deletions, assignment of users, updates to credit cards, etc.) but may not (i) designate himself or herself as the Superuser or (ii) designate any other user as an administrator. Should you wish ATC to provide information on your account with respect to a customer service record or actual call log details (other than through the ATC Portal), such request may be made by the Superuser or any administrator on the account, but information provided by ATC will only be transmitted to the email address on file for the Superuser. The Superuser or any other administrator may designate the one or more "Company Contacts" for the account. The Company Contact is the individual(s) who will receive all messages from ATC VoIP concerning matters of general relevance to the account (notices of updates to the account, billing notices, maintenance alerts, etc.), which such notices are typically provided through electronic mail. ATC VoIP will initially assign the Superuser to be the Company Contact. A Company Contact may or may not be the Superuser or an administrator for the account. ATC may adjust the components comprising a specific plan at any time. ATC reserves the right, from time to time, to enhance or change the terms and modify service plans and features, provided that such changes are consistently applied in a manner and degree to similarly situated customers. This may include changes to address issues caused by customers such as violation of the fair use terms associated with unlimited plans (See Section 4.2 for the fair use terms). ATC will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide thirty (30) days advance notice of such proposed changes. ATC also reserves the right to increase pricing when there are government sourced or regulated changes applicable to VoIP providers which increase the cost of VoIP services, and to include/exclude certain international calling destinations at any time based on its commercial or legal judgment. All pricing is exclusive of taxes, fees, and other government charges. 1. PAYMENT & SERVICES. 1.1 Automatic Monthly Billing. The Services are provided on a monthly basis, with an automatic monthly renewal unless you give us seventy-two (72) hours notice of cancellation prior to a scheduled billing date in accordance with the requirements of Section 2 below.

You agree that ATC may receive updated information about your account from the financial institution issuing your credit card. Under certain circumstances a customer may make payments by check. Those customers will be charged a $10 per month processing fee and will be required to maintain a non-interest bearing deposit, to be held on account, in the amount of one month's total billings. This deposit will be adjusted as service levels increase or decline and will be refunded, less any past due balance, if you cancel your account. 1.3 Fee Payments & Late Charges. Except for usage based fees, all fees are due in advance on the first day of each billing period. Fees may include monthly recurring charges ("Service Fees"), and other non-recurring charges including but not limited to, activation fees, porting fees, early termination fees ("ETF"), regulatory compliance and intellectual property recovery fees ("Regulatory Recovery Fees") and government mandated pass through fees such as, but not limited to, Universal Service Fees ("USF") and e911 fees ("Fees"). All usage based charges (including charges for calls to Alaska, Hawaii and international calls), Fees and any other non-recurring charges are due and payable in arrears on the first day of each billing period following the month they were incurred. You agree to pay for all equipment and set up fees at the time you request the Services. You agree to pay for the first month of Services upon your request for such Services. All payments, including payments paid in advance, are completely non-refundable. Failure to pay in full will result in immediate account suspension and ATC shall have no liability for such suspension under any circumstances. Accounts will be reactivated, at ATC's sole discretion, only when the account balance is paid in full and a $25 reconnect fee is paid. ATC will assess an additional 1.5% (or the highest amount allowed by law, whichever is higher) per month late charge if your payment is more than thirty (30) days past due. ATC, a Marketing Partner or an Authorized Distributor may modify the Service fees or other Fees at any time, but will provide at least thirty (30) days advance notice by postal mail, email or by publishing the new Service fees or Fees on its respective website. In the event that you present a check to ATC for payment that is returned by your bank for non-sufficient funds, you shall pay a processing fee of $25. Payment terms for customers acquiring ATC Services from a Marketing Partner or Authorized Distributor will be specified on the invoice, including late payment, reconnect fees, non-sufficient fund fees, and processing fees, if different from the terms herein. A Marketing Partner or Authorized Distributor may suspend Services when payments are not timely made and the timeframe and procedures for doing so may vary by Marketing Partner or Authorized Distributor. You are responsible and liable for any fees, including attorney and collection fees, that ATC, a Marketing Partner, or an Authorized Distributor may incur in its efforts to collect any remaining balances from you. You also agree that you will be billed for and will pay any outstanding balances if you cancel the Services. During any period of suspension for non-payment, Services will be unavailable to you until the account balance is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that your use of the Services involves usage-based charges that in ATC opinion are substantial, ATC may, in its sole discretion, process charges against your payment method prior to your regular monthly billing cycle date and/or require a non-interest bearing deposit to secure your payment obligations under this Agreement. In the event that ATC requires a deposit, the deposit will be in an amount determined by ATC to be equal to your forecasted monthly usage charges. All deposits must be paid via a wire transfer and will be held on account during the term of this Agreement. This deposit may be adjusted as usage levels increase or decline and will be refunded, less any past due balance, if you cancel your account. ATC may suspend your service at any time pending receipt of the required deposit. Marketing Partners and Authorized Distributors may do the same. 1.4 Taxes. Prices for the Services do not include any customs duties, sales, use, import or export, value added, excise, federal, state, local, public utility, universal service or other similar taxes. You may also be charged taxes by a Marketing Partner or Authorized Distributor for non-ATC products and services sold or licensed by that Marketing Partner or Authorized Distributor in connection with your order for ATC Services. All such taxes shall be paid by you and will be added to any amounts otherwise charged to you unless you provide ATC, Marketing Partner or Authorized Distributor, as applicable, with an appropriate exemption certificate.

ATC cannot be held responsible for any adverse currency fluctuations. 1.6 Release of Numbers. You acknowledge that in the event of any account termination or cancellation, all telephone numbers associated with your account may be released. Similarly, the cancellation of individual services which have associated telephone numbers will result in the release of such numbers. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to work with a third party provider to port out those numbers prior to your termination or cancellation of your account or termination of services. 1.7 Regulatory Recovery Fee. A Regulatory Recovery Fee for every phone number assigned to your account will be charged monthly to offset costs incurred by ATC in complying with inquiries and obligations imposed by federal, state and municipal regulatory bodies/governments and the related legal and billing expenses. This fee is not a tax or charge required or assessed by any government. The Regulatory Recovery Fee will apply to every phone number assigned, including toll free and virtual numbers. 1.8 E911 Fee. The FCC requires that ATC provide emergency 911 services, and allows us to charge a recurring monthly fee that is used for the following: next generation costs required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for supporting computer software and hardware upgrades that allow public safety answering points (PSAP) to send assistance to the registered location of a 911 caller.

Unlimited voice services are provided solely for live dialog between individuals. Unlimited voice services may not be used for reselling voice services such as conferencing, monitoring services, data transmissions, transmission of broadcasts, transmission of recorded material, or other connections which do not consist of uninterrupted live dialog between individuals. If ATC finds that you are using an unlimited voice service offering for other than live dialog between two individuals, ATC may, at its option, terminate your service or change your plan to one with no unlimited usage components.

ATC's business service plans and features are for normal, reasonable business use and consistent with the types and levels of usage by typical customers on the same business calling plan. "Typical" refers to the calling patterns of at least 95% of our business customers on the same business calling plan. While most reasonable uses of our Services in connection with the terms of this provision ("Fair Use Policy" or "Policy") are permitted by ATC, unauthorized or excessive use beyond that normally experienced by typical business customers may cause extreme network capacity and congestion issues and interfere with our network and third party networks with whom we connect for call initiation and completion services. Such unauthorized or excessive use may manifest itself in increased busy signals for our customers and others, and may result in service termination. Any use of the Services or any other action that causes a disruption in the network integrity of ATC services or its vendors, whether directly or indirectly, is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of the Services. A. Evaluation of Usage ATC evaluates customer usage in comparison to typical levels of permissible usage engaged in by our customers (business use under business service plans or affiliate use under co-branded business service offers or business plans). Co-branded use is defined as ATC's service that is provided by a third party partner under that third party partner's marketing brand, with or without reference to ATC. Each of the following is impermissible under ATC's business plans and considered outside of normal use, whether obtained directly from ATC, an authorized reseller, or from a co-branded ATC partner: Resale to others Auto-dialing or fax/voice blasts Without live dialog, including use as a monitor or for transcription purposes Continuous or extensive call forwarding Continuous connectivity Constant dialing Iterative dialing Fax broadcast Fax blasting Telemarketing involving practices that are in violation of any law or regulation or any other activity that would be inconsistent with small business usage. You agree that you will NOT use the Services in ways that violate laws, infringe the rights of others, or interfere with the users, services, or equipment of the Services. You agree and represent that you are purchasing the Services and/or the equipment for your own internal use only, and shall not resell, transfer or make a charge to the Services without the advance express written permission of ATC. ATC reserves the right to review usage of unlimited usage plans to ensure that you are not abusing such plans. You agree to use unlimited voice plans for normal voice related communications with aggregate usage that falls within the range of similarly situated business customers. Use of unlimited "paperless facsimile" service must also fall within the normal range of similarly situated business customers and shall in no event exceed 500 transmitted pages sent or received per month. In addition, you agree that you will not employ methods or use devices to take advantage of unlimited plans by using the Services excessively or for means not intended by ATC. ATC may terminate service immediately if it determines, in its sole discretion, you are abusing an unlimited minute plan. We reserve the right to at any time to enforce this policy in accordance with its terms. You agree that your level of usage of our unlimited service plans will be comparable to that of our typical business customer utilizing such plans. ATC deems usage that substantially exceeds the average volume of its other unlimited usage plan customers as abusive. You agree that ATC has the right to terminate your service or charge you additional fees if your usage is considered abusive in the sole discretion of ATC. B. Excessive Usage If it is determined that your usage is abusive, you agree to pay a per minute or per page fee for use in excess of those levels at the then current rate established by ATC, of at least $.06 per minute and/or $.06 per facsimile page. At ATC's sole option, your service may be immediately terminated. THIS OVERAGE FEE APPLIES TO ALL PLANS INCLUDING THE UNLIMITED PLANS. A customer's aggregate usage may be considered outside of normal use if involves excessive: number of calls made to a conference calling service during a month; number of calls terminated and re-initiated consecutively, which, in the aggregate, result in excessive call lengths during a specific time frame; or other abnormal calling patterns indicative of an attempt to evade enforcement of this Fair Use Policy Based on such a combination, ATC may determine that abnormal, unreasonable or impermissible usage is occurring when compared to typical customers on the same calling plan, and may take appropriate steps described below to enforce this Policy and the Terms of Service.

OTHER IMPORTANT PROVISIONS. 11.1 Dispute Resolution And Binding Arbitration PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY, IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. It is important that you read this entire section carefully. This section provides for mandatory resolution of disputes through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Any arbitration under this agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class action lawsuits are not permitted. Arbitration ATC and you agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims between you and ATC. Arbitration means that all disputes and claims will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of by a judge or jury in a court. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be given the broadest possible meaning under the law. It includes, but is not limited to: disputes and claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and ATC, whether based in agreement, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; disputes and claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); disputes and claims that may arise after the termination of this agreement; disputes and claims that are currently the subject of individual litigation; disputes and claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and disputes and claims concerning the scope of this arbitration provision. References to "ATC," "us" and "you" include our respective parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the service under these Terms of Service or any prior agreements between you and ATC. Informal Resolution of Disputes Our Customer Care Department can resolve most customer concerns quickly and to the customer's satisfaction. If you have a dispute or claim against us, you should first contact the ATC Customer Care Department by telephone at 1-844-ATC-VOIP (1-844-282-8647) or by email at http://atcvoip.com/contact-us/ . In the event your dispute or claim is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may seek to have that dispute or claim resolved through mandatory arbitration as set forth below. Formal Notice of Disputes A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute. A Notice of Dispute must be sent to ATC by certified mail addressed to: ATC VoIP, Attn: Chief Legal Officer, 132 W 32nd St, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10040 with a copy by email to partners@atcvoip.com. A Notice of Dispute must be sent to you by certified mail or overnight express delivery with verification at the last mailing address that you registered with ATC and a copy by email to you at the last email address you registered with ATC. The Notice of Dispute must describe the nature and basis of the dispute or claim and set forth the specific relief sought. If you and ATC do not reach an agreement to resolve the dispute or claim within thirty (30) calendar days after the Notice of Dispute is received, you or ATC may commence an arbitration proceeding by downloading or copying a form from the AAA website: http://www.adr.org. The amount of any settlement offer made by you or ATC shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or ATC is entitled. Arbitrator and Arbitral Rules The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). You may contact the AAA by telephone at 1-800-778-7879, by email at Websitemail@adr.org, or by mail at 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10019. The arbitration shall be governed by the AAA's Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Location and Procedure of Arbitration Unless you and ATC mutually agree otherwise, all hearings conducted as part of the arbitration shall take place at a location, convenient to you, in the county or parish of your billing address. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you or ATC may request that the arbitration be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim is in excess of $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Fees and Costs You are responsible for all costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witness fees. If a party elects to appeal an award, the prevailing party in the appeal shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in that appeal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this arbitration provision, ATC shall pay all fees and costs which it is require by law to pay. Waiver of Jury Trial You and ATC agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and ATC are waiving the right to a trial by jury. Waiver of Class Actions You and ATC agree that the arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. YOU AND ATC AGREE THAT YOU AND ATC MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. You and ATC agree that, unless you and ATC agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's or entity's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Statute of Limitations State laws may limit the time period after which you may assert a claim; in some cases you may be required to assert a claim within one (1) year after the occurrence of the event or facts giving rise to a dispute (except for billing disputes). Your failure to timely assert your claim may result in a waiver of your legal rights. Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement You and we agree: you may take your dispute to small claims court, if your dispute qualifies for hearing by such court; if you fail to timely pay amounts due, we may assign your account for collection, and the collection agency may pursue in court claims limited strictly to the collection of the past due debt and any interest or cost of collection permitted by law or the Agreement; you or we may take any disputes over the validity of any party's intellectual property rights to a court of competent jurisdiction; any dispute related to or arising from allegations associated with fraudulent or unauthorized use, theft, or piracy of service may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction; and either you or we may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, necessary to protect the rights or property of you or ATC, pending the completion of arbitration. Modification of Arbitration Provision Despite any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if ATC makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to the Arbitration Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision. 11.2 Complete Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between us, notwithstanding any variance with any purchase order or other written instrument submitted by you, whether formally rejected by ATC or its Authorized Distributors or Marketing Partners or not. The acceptance of any purchase order is expressly made conditional on your consent to the terms set forth herein and any additional terms in your purchase order or similar document shall be null and void. The terms and conditions contained in this Agreement may not be modified by you except in a writing duly signed by you and an authorized representative of ATC. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and such decision shall not affect the enforceability of such provision under other circumstances, or of the remaining provisions hereof under all circumstances. This Agreement will not be governed by the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is hereby expressly excluded. ATC is not liable for editorial, pictorial, or typographical errors in this communication. 11.3 Equipment. You may be required to purchase telecom equipment in order to utilize the Services. Procuring and maintaining that equipment is your sole responsibility. ATC may, at your request, facilitate the provision of equipment from a third party supplier or resell certain equipment. While we suggest and resell some equipment brands and facilitate your purchase of some equipment as an accommodation, the original equipment manufacturer and not ATC shall be responsible for any equipment defects, if applicable. ATC will pass through all original equipment manufacturer warranties for the equipment to you. ATC shall have no liability to you of any nature regarding such equipment. Please check the equipment provider's website for warranty, return rules and other terms and conditions applicable to such third party equipment supplier. Equipment may not be returned to ATC for any reason. ALL EQUIPMENT SALES ARE FINAL. Equipment may be returned to the manufacturer solely in the event of a defect which arises within the applicable warranty period, provided you comply with the terms of this Section and the manufacturer's Return Materials Authorization ("RMA") policy. Prior to returning the equipment, you must contact ATC so that ATC may determine whether a defect exists and to receive an RMA number, which is required along with the return. You must ship the equipment to the manufacturer at the address provided by ATC in accordance with all RMA procedures. You have ten (10) days after receipt of an RMA to ship the equipment back to the manufacturer at the address we provide. You must pay all shipping fees. Once the manufacturer has received the equipment, the original equipment manufacturer will deal with the equipment under its applicable warranty policy. 12. EMERGENCY SERVICES- 911 DIALING & NON-VOICE SYSTEMS. 12.1 Non-Availability of Traditional 911 or E911 Dialing Service. At ATC 911 dialing service operates differently than traditional 911. You agree to inform any business invitees, guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize the Service of the non-availability of traditional 911 or E911 dialing from your ATC's Service and equipment. The physical location where you utilize the Service must be the actual physical street address where the equipment is located, not a P.O box, mail drop or similar address. 12.2 Description of 911-Type Dialing Capabilities – Activation Required. ATC offers 911-type dialing service in certain areas within the U.S. (but may not offer such service in certain areas of the U.S. or non-U.S. locations) that differs from traditional 911 services. When you dial 911 your call is routed from the ATC network to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) or local emergency service personnel designated for the address that you listed at the time of activation. If you make changes to your 911 address using the ATC online web user interface http://portal.atcvoip.com, your call may be routed to a different PSAP or local emergency service personnel, who may ask you to provide your location and other information. Calls to 911 using a ATC-provided mobile or softphone application may use the native dialer of the customer-provided device to complete the call to 911 using the carrier's cellular network. If the native dialer is unavailable due to lack of service coverage or other condition that would prevent the call from being placed, the ATC-provided mobile or softphone application will attempt to complete the call over an alternative, non-cellular network. 911 calls completed using a ATC-provided mobile or softphone application over a non-cellular will be routed to a national clearing house. In such situations, 911 fees and taxes may not be assessed. Calls dialed by handset extensions included in your account with ATC will be routed from the ATC's network to the PSAP or local emergency service personnel designated for the address that you listed at the time of activation. In the event that your equipment is used in multiple locations, or in the event that one or more items of equipment are used in multiple locations, end users designated as administrators on your account may, at your option, create additional service locations and associate your equipment to specific locations for the purposes of routing calls to the local PSAPs for such locations. Individual end users may assign and re-assign their current location on an as-needed basis, provided however, that the Super-user-", or System Administrator has previously activated that functionality. Updates can be made at http://portal.atcvoip.com. It is your sole responsibility to make these changes and to ensure that all business invitees, household residents, guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location(s) where you utilize the Service are aware of this option. For any ATC extensions assigned to a non-US 911 location (subject to applicable local law), calls placed to 911 will be routed to a US-based call center that may not be able to offer local emergency assistance to the caller. 12.3 Service Outage. You acknowledge and agree that (a) 911 dialing does not function in the event of a power failure or disruption. If an interruption in the power supply occurs, the Service and 911 dialing will not function until power is restored and you may have to reset or reconfigure equipment prior to utilizing the Service or 911 dialing; (b) service outages or suspension or termination of service by your broadband provider and/or ISP or by ATC will prevent ALL Service including 911 dialing; (c) service outages due to suspension of your account as a result of billing issues will prevent ALL Service, including 911 dialing; (d) if there is a service outage for ANY reason, such outage will prevent ALL Service, including 911 dialing; and (e) ATC VoIP's liability is limited for any Service outage and/or inability to dial 911 from your line or to access emergency service personnel. 12.4 Possibility of Network Congestion and/or Reduced Speed for Routing or Answering 911. You acknowledge and agree that (a) network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 communication made utilizing your equipment may be greater than that experienced when using traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks; (b) 911 dialing from your equipment will be routed to the general telephone number for the local emergency service provider (which may not be answered outside business hours), and may not be routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls at such local provider's facilities when such calls are routed using traditional 911 dialing; and (c) the general telephone number for the local emergency service provider may produce a busy signal or may take longer to answer, as compared to those 911 calls routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls using traditional 911 dialing. 12.5 Automated Number Identification. Technical limitations may make it impossible for the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and the local emergency personnel to identify your phone number when you dial 911. The local emergency operators answering the call may not see your telephone number or your registered address. The emergency center may not be equipped to receive, capture or retain your telephone number and registered address, 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. ATC's system is configured to send the automated number identification information; however, one or more telephone companies that route the traffic to the PSAP, and the PSAP itself, may not be able to receive the information and pass it along. You acknowledge and agree that PSAP and emergency personnel may or may not be able to identify your phone number in order to call you back if (a) the call is unable to be completed; (b) the call is dropped or disconnected; c) you are unable to speak to tell the dispatcher the location of your phone number and/or (d) the Service is not operational for any reason. 12.6 Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Related to E/911 Services. ATC relies on third parties for the forwarding of information underlying such routing. ATC and its third party provider(s) disclaim any and all liability in the event such forwarded information or routing is incorrect. ATC and its officers, directors or employees may not be held liable for any claim, damage, loss or other cause of action, and you hereby waive any and all claims, damages, loss or causes of action, arising from or relating to ATC's 911 dialing. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless ATC, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and its third party provider(s) from any and all third party claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of, or resulting from (a) your failure to correctly activate 911 calling; (b) your provision to ATC of incorrect information in connection with your 911 calling or service; (c) misrouted 911 or E911 calls; or (d) the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including 911 dialing and/or inability of any user of your Service to be able to dial 911 or to access emergency service personnel. 12.7 Alternative 911 Arrangements. You acknowledge and agree that (a) ATC does not offer primary line or lifeline services; (b) the equipment and Services do not support 911 emergency dialing or other emergency functions; and (c) users of the Services, who may place calls using your phone services, need to be notified of the 911 limitations. ATC ADVISES YOU TO MAINTAIN AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF ACCESSING TRADITIONAL 911 SERVICES SUCH AS TRADITIONAL TELEPHONES AND CELLULAR PHONES. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF ACCESSING TRADITIONAL 911 OR E911 SERVICES. 13.
