You are responsible for all use of your Service and account, whether by you or someone using your account with or without your permission, including all secondary or sub-accounts associated with your primary account, and to pay for all activity associated with your account. You agree to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and rules regarding your use of the Service and to only use the Service within the United States (unless otherwise permitted by this Agreement).
3. Restrictions on Use. Unless otherwise noted in your contract, the Service is a consumer grade service and is not designed for or intended to be used for any commercial purpose. You may not resell the Service, use it for high volume purposes, or engage in similar activities that constitute such use (commercial or non-commercial). If you subscribe to a Broadband Service, you may connect multiple computers/devices within a single home to your modem and/or router to access the Service, but only through a single Xchange-issued IP address. You also may not exceed the bandwidth usage limitations that Xchange may establish from time to time for the Service, subject to the terms of Xchange’s Open Network Policy. Violation of this section may result in bandwidth restrictions on your Service or suspension or termination of your Service.
4. Dial-Up Accounts. If you subscribe to Dial-up Service, your Service may be subject to log-off automatically and without notice if your account is idle for fifteen minutes. An account session may be deemed to be idle if there appears to be no interactive, human generated data received from your computer system within a prescribed amount of time. Use of automatic re-dialer, script or other programs for the purpose of avoiding inactivity disconnects is a violation of this Agreement. You may only use your account for one log-on session per connection type at a time and you may not use more than one IP address for each log-on session.
5. Broadband Accounts. Additional User IDs provided for Broadband customers' email boxes may not be used as dial-up connections.

Personal information you provide to Xchange is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is posted on the Website and is subject to change from time to time. Xchange reserves the right to provide account and user information, including email, to third parties as required or permitted by law (such as in response to a subpoena or court order), and to cooperate with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of any criminal or civil matter. Such cooperation may include, but is not limited to, monitoring of the Xchange network consistent with applicable law. In addition, Xchange is required by law to report any facts or circumstances reported to us or that we discover from which it appears there may be a violation of the child pornography laws. We reserve the right to report any such information, including the identity of users, account information, images and other facts to law enforcement personnel.
AVAILABILITY OF AND CHANGES TO SERVICE.
1. Service and Bandwidth Availability and Speed. The Service you select may not be available in all areas or at the rates, speeds, or bandwidth generally marketed, and some locations may not qualify for the Service even if initial testing showed that your line was qualified. We will provision qualified HSI lines at the maximum line rate available to your location based on our standard line qualification procedures, unless you have selected a level of service with a lower maximum line rate. Bandwidth is provided on a per-line (not a per-device) basis. The bandwidth available to each device connected to the network will vary depending upon the number, type and configuration of devices using the Service and the type of use (e.g., streaming media), among other factors. The speed of the Service will vary based on network or Internet congestion, your computer configuration, the condition of your telephone line and the wiring inside your location, among other factors. We and our suppliers reserve the right, at any time, with or without prior notice to you, to restrict or suspend the Service to perform maintenance activities and to maintain session control.
2. Skywire Service Limitations. Skywire is a fixed wireless service that provides data if you subscribe to a data plan and voice service. Voice service is provided as Voice over Internet Protocol or "VoIP" service. VoIP Service may not be available at any or all times in all areas. Even within coverage areas, and for a veriety of reasons that may be beyond Xchange’s reasonable control, service availability, quality, signal strength, and network speeds may vary, be lower than advertised, or be insufficient for your desired use of the Service. At the time you purchase Service, you agree to provide Xchange with the address of the primary place where you intend to use this service. That address will be used to determine whether adequate coverage should be avaialbe based on Xchange’s coverage maps. Coverage maps only approximate Xchange’s anticipated wireless coverage area outdoors; actual Service area, coverage and quality may vary and change without notice, depending on a variety of factors, some of which are discussed below. You agree that Xchange is not liable for any problems relating to Skywire service availability or quality, regardless of the cause(s) of these problems. You further agree to promptly notify Xchange of any changes in the primary Service address.
3. Changes to your local voice telephony service. If you change your local telephone company or discontinue your local telephone service, we may in our discretion either terminate your Service or continue to provide Broadband Service without local Xchange voice service at the then-current rates, terms and conditions applicable to your new Service plan and you agree to pay any new or higher monthly fee that may apply to your new Service plan. If we elect to terminate your Service under this Section 6.2, then we reserve the right to charge any early termination fees and to apply the Equipment return terms under Section 9.
4. Changes to Service or Features. Xchange reserves the right to change any of the features, content or applications of the Service at any time with or without notice to you. This includes the portal services we may make available as part of the Service or for an additional charge.
5. Maintenance. To provide the best possible service to its customers, Xchange periodically performs maintenance on its network. In some cases, this may require Xchange to conduct either a planned or unplanned interruption of the Service. Xchange will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule maintenance outages in a way that minimizes the impact on customers, but Xchange cannot guarantee that your Service will not be interrupted and cannot always give advance notice of such outages. You acknowledge and agree that Xchange shall not be responsible for any losses or damages (of any kind) that may be suffered by you as a result of any Service interruptions due to maintenance outages.
6. Network Management. Xchange reserves the right to engage in reasonable network management to protect the overall integrity of its network, including detecting malicious traffic patterns and attempting to prevent the distribution of viruses or other malicious code, and through techniques such as reducing the aggregate bandwidth available to excessive bandwidth users during periods of congestion. While the determination of what constitutes excessive use depends on the specific state of the network at a particular location at any given time, excessive use will be determined primarily by resource consumption. For further information, please refer to Xchange's Acceptable Use Policy (attachment A) which forms a material part of, and is incorporated by reference within, these Terms.
7. E911 Noitfication If you use a voice over IP product, in the event of a power outage, and provided that you do not have battery backup installed, you will not have E911 service. If your service is disconnected or interrupted, you will not have E911 service. If you relocate and of the equipment to a different address, you must notify Xchange in advance to update E911 service. During the initial 72 hours of service at your new address, you may be required to provide the E911 operator with your new service address.
8. Security and Medical Alert System Limitations If you use a voice over IP product, yYou acknowledge that Xchange does not support the use of any Voice service as a connection for (i) emergency medical alert systems, (ii) all high security monitoring systems (UL 681 or similar) or (iii) fire alarm systems (UL 864 or similar).

ATTACHMENT A – ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY

General Policy:
Xchange reserves the sole discretion to deny or restrict your Service, or immediately to suspend or terminate your Service, if the use of your Service by you or anyone using it, in our sole discretion, violates the Agreement or other Xchange policies, is objectionable or unlawful, interferes with the functioning or use of the Internet or the Xchange network by Xchange or other users, or violates the terms of this Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP").
Specific Examples of AUP Violations.
The following are examples of conduct which may lead to termination of your Service. Without limiting the general policy in Section 1, it is a violation of the Agreement and this AUP to: (a) access without permission or right the accounts or computer systems of others, to spoof the URL, DNS or IP addresses of Xchange or any other entity, or to penetrate the security measures of Xchange or any other person's computer system, or to attempt any of the foregoing; (b) transmit uninvited communications, data or information, or engage in other similar activities, including without limitation, "spamming", "flaming" or denial of service attacks; (c) intercept, interfere with or redirect email or other transmissions sent by or to others; (d) introduce viruses, worms, harmful code or Trojan horses on the Internet; (e) post off-topic information on message boards, chat rooms or social networking sites; (f) engage in conduct that is defamatory, fraudulent, obscene or deceptive; (g) violate Xchange’s or any third party's copyright, trademark, proprietary or other intellectual property rights; (h) engage in any conduct harmful to the Xchange network, the Internet generally or other Internet users; (i) generate excessive amounts of email or other Internet traffic; (j) use the Service to violate any rule, policy or guideline of Xchange; (k) use the service in any fashion for the transmission or dissemination of images containing child pornography or in a manner that is obscene, sexually explicit, cruel or racist in nature or which espouses, promotes or incites bigotry, hatred or racism; or (l) download or use the Service in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria or to destinations that are otherwise controlled or embargoed under U.S. law, as modified from time to time by the Departments of Treasury and Commerce.
Copyright Infringement/Repeat Infringer Policy.
Xchange respects the intellectual property rights of third parties. Accordingly, you may not store any material or use Xchange's systems or servers in any manner that constitutes an infringement of third party intellectual property rights, including under US copyright law. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable laws, it is the policy of Xchange to suspend or terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the Service provided to any subscriber or account holder who is deemed to infringe third party intellectual property rights, including repeat infringers of copyrights. In addition, Xchange expressly reserves the right to suspend, terminate or take other interim action regarding the Service of any Subscriber or account holder if Xchange, in its sole judgment, believes that circumstances relating to an infringement of third party intellectual property rights warrant such action. These policies are in addition to and do not affect or modify any other rights Xchange may have under law or contract. If you believe that copyrighted material has been used in violation of this policy or otherwise been made available on the Service in a manner that is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law, please follow the instructions for contacting Xchange’s designated Copyright Agent as set forth in Xchange’s Copyright Policy located at http://www.xchangetele.com/terms.html.
Xchange may, but is not required to, monitor your compliance, or the compliance of other subscribers, with the terms, conditions or policies of this Agreement and AUP. You acknowledge that Xchange shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pre-screen, refuse, move or remove any content available on the Service, including but not limited to content that violates the law or this Agreement.
Theft or Fraudulent Use of the Service; Loss or Theft of Equipment.
If your Equipment is lost or stolen, or if you become aware at any time that the Service has been stolen or is being fraudulently used, it is very important that you notify Xchange immediately, so that Xchange can suspend your Service (and the ability to use any Equipment that you have purchased or leased for use in association with that Service) in order to prevent further usage and limit your liability. You can do this by calling Xchange's customer service department at (646) 722-7200. Once you notify Xchange, Xchange will suspend your Service (i.e., until you possess replacement Equipment usable with the Service or such fraudulent activity has ceased, as applicable), and you will not be responsible for charges incurred with the lost or stolen Equipment during that period of suspension. If a Term Commitment applies to your Service, then you will be obligated to fulfill the remainder of your Term Commitment, which will be deemed extended by the full duration of the period that your Service is suspended; and, if you do not fulfill the remainder of your Term Commitment, then the Early Termination Fee (or the restocking fee, as applicable) will become due and will be chargeable automatically by Xchange to your Card (or through an EFT, if and as applicable).

ATTACHMENT B – ADDITIONAL SERVICES TERMS

If you subscribe to any of the following services ("Additional Services"), the terms and conditions below apply to your use of the service(s) in addition to the terms of the Agreement.

EMAIL AND EMAIL MESSAGING SERVICE.
1. Email Service. Use of Xchange email service is subject to Xchange’s email and anti-spam policies, which include important information about limitations on use of the email service such as the storage capacity and deletion of stored messages.
2. Email Security. Xchange reserves the right in our sole discretion to provide the level of security we deem appropriate to safeguard our network and customers, and other Internet users, against Internet threats or abuses, including viruses, spam and phishing threats. These security measures may include, but are not limited to, the use of firewalls and blocklists to block potentially harmful or abusive emails or attachments, anti-spam filters, anti-virus and anti-spyware software, and blocking selected ports. Such activities may result in the blocking, filtering or non-delivery of legitimate and non-legitimate email sent to or from your email account. By using any Xchange-provided email service, you agree that delivery and receipt of email is not guaranteed and to Xchange’s use of such Internet and email security measures we in our sole discretion deem appropriate.
3. Email Aliases. Xchange will issue email aliases (alternate email addresses) based upon availability. You will surrender your alias by changing it or if your account is terminated for any reason and we will not forward emails addressed to that alias. If your Service is reinstated we cannot guarantee your alias will still be available to you.
FREE MINUTES
Xchange offers free minutes with several of the plans. Free minutes are credited at the end of the billing month. If you switch away, or change plans in the middle of the month, you will be charged per minute for the free minutes.

Unlimited Voice Service is subject to the following limitations: Local service is limited to 2,500 minutes of use per month; local toll service is limited to 1,000 minutes of use per month; and domestic long distance is limited to 1,500 minutes of use per month.

Internet Filtering and Monitoring Services (JNET)
1. For the purposes of this section, the JNET refers to the suite of internet filtering services offered by Xchange, and when used to refer to an organization, any Xchange owned or affiliated entity providing such services.
2. License to download. If you ordered a service that allows downloading of software, this Agreement constitutes a license for you, the Account Administrator (herein referred to as "User"), to download and use The JNET Software as intended herein. Under the terms of this license, The JNET Software, intellectual property, advertising, copyrighted material, or any other The JNET product may not be re-sold without the express written consent of the JNET. All Users of The JNET Software must read and agree to the terms of this privacy policy and User agreement.
3. Use of The JNET Software by Children. Children under the age of 13 must have consent of parent(s) or legal guardian to use The JNET Software and/or The JNET Accountability Reports. All Accountability Partners of children under the age of 13 must have consent of parent(s) or legal guardian to act as Accountability Partners.
4. Acknowledgement of User to use and pay for services; payment schedule. You, as the User of The JNET Software, agree that you are 18 years old or older and are the owner of all computers and mobile digital devices, or have been authorized by the owner of all said devices, on which The JNET Software is to be installed. Because other people may use said devices, it is incumbent upon you, the User, to ensure that all other Users of said devices have read and agree to this User-Privacy agreement. You also agree to pay a monthly or annual recurring fee for the services of The JNET Software, to be billed in advance, before the beginning of the service period. Credit cards will be charged in advance of the service, typically 5 to 7 days before the beginning of the next period of service. The JNET will provide a statement by e-mail to the e-mail address provided in the signup procedure detailing charges that have been made. In the event of termination by you, the User, charges already processed will not be refunded.
5. Cancellation of service; identification of User. Service may be cancelled at any time by you, the User, for any reason or no reason at all upon notice to The JNET. Uninstalling The JNET Software does not constitute cancellation of service. In order to cancel, you must call the Customer Support team. The JNET reserves the right to cancel service for breach of this contract. Moreover, The JNET, at any time, without advance notice, with or without cause, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to refuse, cancel, and/or discontinue service to any individual or organization. Failure on the part of you, the User, to provide payment for the service of The JNET will result in termination of service by The JNET, and until proper Uninstall procedures (provided by The JNET) are followed, may result in an inability to access the Internet by computers owned and/or operated by User (for the purposes of this agreement, "computer(s)" includes all cell phone devices and/or Personal Digital Devices). In the event The JNET receives a request to verify any username or password, to cancel any account, or to receive the uninstall code, such will be provided upon our judgment (and solely upon our judgment) that the Account Administrator or other authorized person is the person making such request; it is your responsibility to ensure the security and accuracy of all identification information on your account (including your verification question and its subsequent answer) in this regard.
6. Refund policy. From the date of first service, users who cancel within the first 30 days of service will, upon request, be refunded the entire amount billed during that first 30 days. Beyond the first 30 days of service, in the event of termination by you, the User, charges already processed will not be refunded once the term of service has begun. Only the User or the person whose name is on the account’s credit card can have requests for refunds honored. Any member creating accounts with the intention of bypassing accountability shall forfeit any right for a refund.
7. Privacy; use of information provided to The JNET. The JNET is committed to protecting your privacy concerning any information collected under the terms of your agreement(s). In acknowledging your agreement with this policy, you as the User have agreed to allow The JNET to monitor and/or filter your use of the Internet at your own computer. Certain levels of internet filtering provided by the JNET require you to assign a person or group of people that will monitor your Internet usage, called Accountability Partners. If you subscribe to such a service, You, the User, agree that your Internet use may be monitored and reported to you and/or your Accountability Partners; monitored Internet use includes, among other things, web browsing, newsgroups, FTP, IP addresses, times of use, and may also include recording and reporting of additional The JNET accounts owned by you which may have different Accountability Partners. If one or more Accountability Partners are deleted, or if the account is canceled, Accountability Partners may be provided with a then-current report of activity up to the time of deletion or cancellation. In turn, The JNET promises that any information collected will only be provided to you or your Accountability Partner(s) as per this agreement, except upon specific request by you or your active Accountability Partner(s), and limited to the purposes of said request. Except as noted above, and in paragraph 15, use by The JNET will be expressly limited to internal use only for the purposes of database management or systems operations; in the event that The JNET uses any data collected for such internal purposes, no such data will be preserved in any format that is associated with your name or account. Accountability data is kept for 30 days, after which it is permanently and irretrievably deleted from our databases. After deletion, the data cannot be recovered by The JNET. If a permanent record is desired, it is incumbent upon members and/or Accountability Partners either to make an electronic copy or hard copy of detailed logs or other data. Information which will be retained securely and indefinitely by The JNET includes names, usernames, passwords, billing information (including credit card), demographics (including IP addresses), and other account information. The JNET will never share any information gathered under this contract with any third party unless requested by you, the User, or unless required to do so by a court of law; this information includes all information regarding your Internet use, demographic data, your personal address/phone/e-mail information, your credit card information, or any other information gathered under the terms of this agreement. In the event that you sign up for The JNET Software through any organization which is affiliated with The JNET (including The JNET affiliates, strategic partners, resellers, or licensees), you agree to any/all of the said organization’s User/Privacy Agreement(s), which may include the release of your personal contact information to said organization(s). In the event that the person signing up for The JNET Software is different from the person, persons, and/or organization responsible for payment of the credit card used on the account, it is understood that the phrases "you," "your," and/or "you, the User" shall include the person, persons, and/or organization responsible for payment of the credit card used on the account.
8. Restriction against re-selling license to use The JNET Software. You, as the User, agree not to purchase and then resell The JNET Software, nor include the JNET Software as any package which you otherwise sell or market, without express written consent of The JNET.
9. Voluntary provision of information and agreement to disclose; protection of password. You, as the User, are voluntarily providing The JNET with certain information and with permission to monitor and record use of the Internet at your computer. You, as the User, agree that all users of your computer and User ID will be informed that monitoring/recording is being made, and that in so being informed, other users will not have their privacy invaded. You should recognize the value of your User ID, and that casually allowing others to use your ID can lead to inappropriately ascribing Internet use to your own account; and you, the User, agree that The JNET is not responsible for maintaining the privacy of the User ID information either of you or your Accountability Partners (see also paragraph 5).
10. Agreement to comply with laws and restrictions on harmful transmissions. You, as the User, agree that you will comply with all applicable laws regarding Internet use, both now and in the future as laws are generated which may affect use of the Internet. You also agree not to attempt to pursue in any way any transmission of information to The JNET servers or other equipment which could be harmful to its database or other functions. The transmission of any material in violation of any state or United States regulations is expressly prohibited, and will result in immediate termination of use.
11. No warranty or guarantee of service. The JNET makes no warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, those of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This includes loss of data resulting from delays, nondeliveries, misdeliveries or service interruption however caused. The JNET does not guarantee continuous or uninterrupted monitoring of Internet use. Routine maintenance and periodic system repairs, upgrades and reconfigurations, public emergency or necessity, force majeure, restrictions imposed by law, acts of God, labor disputes and other situations, including mechanical or electronic breakdowns may result in temporary impairment or interruption of service. Every effort will be made to perform routine maintenance between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m. (EST).
12. Limitations on security of e-mail transmissions. The security of any/all e-mail messages sent by The JNET cannot be guaranteed on the Internet as information can be intercepted, corrupted, lost, destroyed, arrive late or incomplete, or contain viruses. The JNET does not accept liability for any errors, omissions or viruses in the contents of e-mail correspondence sent to you or your Accountability Partner which arise as a result of e-mail transmission.
13. Data provided not to be construed as interpretation of the data. Reports and other data provided by The JNET to you, the User, or to your Accountability Partners consist of data without interpretation. The analysis of sites provided by The JNET proprietary rating procedures and algorithms is, in itself, data corresponding to results of those procedures and algorithms. Similarly, the summaries of reports, which The JNET refers to as the "Quick Look," are also data corresponding to a proprietary procedure and algorithm, and are not, nor are they intended to be, an interpretation of any data. The statements "Report Looks Good," "Review Suggested," and "Close Review Recommended" are summaries of data collected and given in the report, are based wholly on the data of individual sites in the report, and do not indicate a pattern of behavior or intent on the part of the User. It is entirely up to you as the User and to your Accountability Partners to interpret the data (including the Quick Look) in terms of the actual content of any particular site or sites, the appropriateness for the User viewing those sites, or any motivation or pattern of viewing by the User.
14. Disclosure as to accuracy of rating. Owing to the ever-changing nature of the Internet, no rating system and/or filter application will perform without error 100% of the time. The JNET does not accept liability and makes no warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, incorrect ratings, which may also result in incorrect blocking and/or allowing websites when the filter is in use, whether the rating is claimed to be too high or too low, of any/all website source code, websites, website domains, website URLs, website titles, and electronic transmissions through any/all Internet protocols. The JNET strives for perfection in its Dynamic Scoring Filter and Accountability Software applications. Occasionally, but rarely, a website may be rated incorrectly. If you believe a website is rated incorrectly, you may request a rating change. The JNET reserves the right to accept or deny any/all rating change requests. Final judgment on the rating of any particular website will remain at the sole discretion of The JNET.
15. Rating Change Request constitutes request to view report. When a rating change request or request by phone, e-mail, or other means for assistance in understanding an Accountability Report is submitted by the User and/or other members on this account and/or an Accountability Partner, said request constitutes permission by you, the User, to allow The JNET to view said member report for the purpose of analysis. The said request itself shall be retained by The JNET indefinitely, but the associated report will not be retained, in compliance with paragraph #5 above; however, any portions of reports included in e-mail correspondence between the member or Accountability Partner and The JNET will be retained by The JNET for the purposes of documenting the correspondence. The JNET will not make interpretations of data provided in reports.
16. Indemnification, limit of liability. You shall indemnify The JNET, its shareholders, affiliates, officers, directors, licensees and licensers from any and all claims and expenses, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees arising from any cause. Furthermore, liability of The JNET shall in any case be limited to and shall not exceed the total amount of monies paid by you, the User, to The JNET for use of the The JNET Software. The parties agree that any dispute arising from this agreement shall have as its venue Brooklyn, NY, wherein are located the offices of The JNET.
17. Amendments to this agreement. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by The JNET without notification to users; such amendments may be made either by changes in this Agreement on the Xchange Telecom website, or by e-mail.
18. JNET SSL Services.
  1. The following terms apply to the JNET SSL Filtering Services
  2. With SSL filtering, the filter examines your SSL-encrypted communications. This means that the filter has access to data which may be sensitive and/or of highly personal nature. This includes, but is not limited to, data from financial institutions, credit card transactions, passwords, merchant accounts, and other accounts. After examination, the information is re-encrypted, and sent to your browser. This patch allows your browser to accept the data, after it has been examined by the filter.
  3. Jnet is committed to safeguarding your sensitive information. The filter system does not retain any of the information it examines, and the data is not available to anyone. The systems are hardened, and protected from hacking. However, it is impossible to anticipate all possible circumstances.
  4. You additionally agree to appoint Xchange Telecom, the JNET and its affiliates as an authorized agent to access any such websites and perform the filtering services on those websites. You agree that it is your sole responsibility to determine whether using the JNET SSL filter would comply with the website’s terms of services, and you agree to only use the JNET SSL filter for lawful purposes.
  5. By requesting SSL filtering, and installing the software, you agree that you have read and understood the above information. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Xchange Telecom, the JNET and its affiliates, for any damages, costs, liabilities, and attorney’s fees we may incur from any claim arising from your use of these services. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SERVICE SUPPLIED HEREUNDER IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" OR "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS. XCHANGE (AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, AND AFFILIATES) (COLLECTIVELY THE "XCHANGE PARTIES"), ITS THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, PROVIDERS AND SUPPLIERS, DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS FOR THE SERVICE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, NON-INTERFERENCE, TITLE, COMPATIBILITY OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS, COMPATIBILITY OF SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, INTEGRATION, AND THOSE ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF TRADE, OR ARISING UNDER STATUTE. ALSO, THERE IS NO WARRANTY OF WORKMANLIKE EFFORT OR LACK OF NEGLIGENCE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION GIVEN BY XCHANGE OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO ADVICE PROVIDED. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE XCHANGE PARTIES OR XCHANGE THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, PROVIDERS OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR: (A) ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR INFORMATION OR DAMAGE TO DATA ARISING OUT OF THE USE, PARTIAL USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, OR RELIANCE ON OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM OR THE NATURE OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE ARISING UNDER CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY, EVEN IF XCHANGE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CLAIM OR DAMAGES, OR (B) ANY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU BY ANY OTHER PARTY.
Telerific and other Voice over IP Services
1. A high speed internet connection is required in order to use Xchange’s Telerific or VOIP phone service; Wi-Fi or 3G/4G may be required for our mobile applications. Our service may not be compatible with home security systems, TTY, and other systems. Your use of our services constitutes acknowledgment of these limitations.
2. Unlimited calling and other services are subject to normal use.
3. e911 Service
  1. Xchange e911 service is different from traditional wireline 911 and cellular/wireless 911, but it is a safe and reliable means of emergency dialing that may differ depending on where you are located, and the device used, when using your Telerific service.
  2. Xchange customers have access to Enhanced 911 (E911), basic 911 or our national emergency call center. With E911 service, when you dial 911 your Xchange phone number and registered address is sent to the local emergency center serving your location, and emergency operators have access to this information in order to send help and call you back if necessary. With basic 911, when you dial 911, local emergency operators answering the call may not see your Xchange telephone number or your registered address. The emergency center may not be equipped to receive, capture or retain your Xchange 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. Once local emergency centers are capable of receiving our customers' information, we automatically upgrade customers with basic 911 to E911 service.
  3. If you do not have access to either basic 911 or E911 for any reason, your 911 call will be sent to the Xchange national emergency call center, where a trained agent will ask for your name, telephone number, and location, and then transfer you to the local emergency center nearest to your location.
  4. We require you to provide the physical address where you will be using our service for 911 purposes. For E911 and basic 911, this address is used to route 911 calls to your local emergency center. When you initially provide your physical address, it can take up to 24 hours to verify your address and activate 911 service at this address. You will receive an email letting you know when 911 service is activated.
  5. If you move this device to another location, you must update your address. You may register only one location at time. If you do not update your location, your 911 calls may be sent to an emergency center near your old address. When you update your location, it can take several hours to activate 911 service at the updated address. You will receive an email letting you know when 911 service is activated at the updated address.
  6. Please note that our 911 Dialing service will not function in the event of a broadband or power outage or if your broadband, Internet Service Provider (ISP), or Xchange phone service is terminated.
  7. 911 Dialing from Mobile Applications. Xchange mobile applications are not a replacement for your cellular service and you cannot make emergency (e.g., 911) calls using the software. If you attempt to make a 911 call from the mobile application the mobile application will close and the call will be placed over your cellular carrier's network. However, this does not prevent you from using your mobile phone for making emergency calls via your cellular provider as normal. If you dial internationally recognized emergency service numbers while using a mobile application, the mobile application will close, the native dialer will be launched, and the call will be placed over your carrier's cellular network. Neither your phone number nor your location will be reported to an emergency operator when dialing an internationally recognized emergency service number.
4. Service Distinctions. Our service may be subject to different regulatory treatment than traditional voice telecommunications service. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before regulatory agencies. Our service requires high speed broadband or, for certain mobile applications, a WIFI or other data connection (e.g. 3G/4G) which we do not provide unless separately ordered. Certain of our other services may be used with devices such as wireless telephones, mobile telephones, smartphones, PDA's, tablets or pads which we may or may not provide. Events beyond our control may affect our service, such as power outages, fluctuations in the Internet, your underlying ISP or broadband service, system maintenance or acts of God. We will act in good faith using commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruptions to your use of and access to our service.
5. Residential and Mobile Use of Service and Device. Xchange Telerific and VOIP service is a single (and not extended or multi-) family residential voice service. It is engineered to process and deliver traffic profiles and utilization levels of our typical residential customers' calling patterns (also referred to as "normal use" by residential plan customers). "Typical" refers to the calling patterns of at least 95% of our customers on a particular calling plan. Normal residential traffic profiles and utilization may arise from business, multiple or extended family, community or fraudulent use. "Unlimited" does not refer to those types and levels of usage. Telephone utilization that is indicative of, or arising from, impermissible business, multiple family, community or fraudulent use, as outlined herein, on a residential class of service line may create network congestion that will manifest itself in increased busy signals for themselves and others. Xchange’s residential unlimited service plans and features are for single (and not extended or multi-) family residential (or personal, non-commercial) or co-branded use only. Co-branded use is defined as Xchange service that is provided by a third party partner under that third party partner's marketing brand, with or without reference to Xchange. This means that only the account holder and residential family members (as defined below), may use Xchange’s residential unlimited service plans. "Residential family members" refer to those members of your immediate family who reside in your personal residence - e.g., spouse, domestic partner, parents and/or children. If your residential service plan allows you to extend the service or feature(s) to another residential or mobile number, all use under that service plan is aggregated and must conform to single ( and not extended or multi-) family residential (or personal, non-commercial) or co-branded use. Xchange’s Telerific mobile unlimited service plans and features are for normal, personal non-commercial use and are device specific. Use of Xchange’s unlimited mobile plans must be in accordance with this Reasonable Use Policy and these Terms of Service, and consistent with other typical customers on the same mobile calling plan. Unauthorized or excessive use beyond that normally experienced by typical mobile customers on the same plan may cause busy signals and may result in service termination.
6. Use Inconsistent with Normal Use. If you use the service, any feature and/or any device (including, but not limited to, your personal computer(s), mobile phone(s) or Xchange equipment) in a way that is inconsistent with the normal use for your service, feature or plan, you will be required, at Xchange's sole discretion, to (a) pay the rates for the service, feature or plan that would apply to the way you used the service, feature or device, (b) change to a more appropriate plan or (c) terminate the plan. For example, if you subscribe to one of our residential service plans, and your aggregate usage is inconsistent with normal residential or personal use, you may thereafter be required to pay our applicable, higher rates for service for all periods in which your use of our service or the device was inconsistent with normal residential use. Unlimited voice services are provided primarily for continuous live dialogue between two individuals. Lack of continuous dialogue activity, unusual calling patterns, excessive conferencing or call forwarding, excessive numbers dialed and/or consistent excessive usage (which may also apply to features such as Directory Assistance) will be considered indicators that your use may be inconsistent with normal use by other Xchange customers aggregating their usage under a similar service plan, or that impermissible use as set forth in Section 10 and/or in the Reasonable Use Policy may be occurring and may trigger an account review or further action by us.
  
  A non-exhaustive list of examples of uses of our service that are generally considered to be impermissible and inconsistent with normal residential or co-branded use, include, but are not limited to, use:
  1. by or for others who do not live with you
  2. operating a business, even if operating from the residence
  3. at a multi-residential address for more than one single residence
  A non exhaustive list of examples of uses of our service that are generally considered to be impermissible and inconsistent with either single (and not extended or multi-) family residential or small or home business use, or co-branded use, include, but are not limited to, use:
  1. operating any other enterprise, including not-for-profit or governmental
  2. operating a call center
  3. resale to others
  4. auto-dialing or fax/voice blasts
  5. telemarketing
  6. without live dialogue, including as a monitor, intercom or for transcription
  Xchange evaluates customer usage in comparison to similarly situated customers, e.g., residential use under residential service plans or small business use under small business service plans or affiliate use under co-branded service offers or plans. For example, over ninety five per cent (95%) of Xchange's residential unlimited calling plan customers use less than three thousand (3000) minutes per month and do not have any unusual calling patterns. We may conclude that a customer's aggregate usage is outside of normal use if it exceeds 3000 minutes per month IN COMBINATION with one or more of the following, including, but not limited to, excessive:
  1. number of unique numbers called
  2. call lengths
  3. frequency of call forwarding/transferring
  4. conference calling
  5. excessive calls to conference bridges
  6. short duration calls or chats
  7. calls made during business hours
  8. number of calls terminated and re-initiated consecutively, which, in the aggregate, result in excessive call lengths during a specific time frame; or
  9. other abnormal calling patterns indicative of an attempt to evade enforcement of these Terms of Service and our Reasonable Use Policy
  Xchange may also determine that abnormal, unreasonable or impermissible usage is occurring, and may take appropriate steps described below even if the number of minutes used is not excessive, when a customer's calling patterns during more than one month reflect excessive:
  1. unique numbers called;
  2. call lengths;
  3. frequency of call forwarding/transferring;
  4. conference calling;
  5. short duration calls;
  6. number of calls terminated and re-initiated consecutively, which, in the aggregate, result in excessive call lengths during a specific time frame; or
  7. other abnormal calling patterns indicative of an attempt to evade enforcement of these Terms of Service and our Reasonable Use Policy.
  Xchange may take appropriate steps to enforce these Terms of Service and our Reasonable Use Policy. We reserve the right to review your account and take further action, including, but not limited to, immediate suspension of your Xchange service if account usage is beyond normal standards, impermissible or detrimental to other customers' ability to use the service or adversely affects our operations. We may assess abnormal usage based on comparisons to the usage patterns and levels of our other customers. If we determine that you are engaging in abnormal or impermissible usage, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform you and provide you with the opportunity to correct the improper usage. If we give you the opportunity to correct your abnormal usage patterns and you fail to immediately conform to normal use, we may exercise our right to transfer your service to a more appropriate plan, charge applicable rates or suspend or terminate your service. You acknowledge that if your service is terminated under this provision, you are subject to all applicable fees and taxes at the time your service is terminated. Xchange's right to terminate your account under these terms of service (with or for no reason) is not limited by this provision.
7. No 0+ or Operator Assisted Calling; May Not Support x11 Calling. Our service does not support 0+ or operator assisted calling, including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls, 900, or calling card calls. Our service may not support 311, 511, and other x11 services in one or more service areas. Our service may support specified dialing such as 911 and 411, although certain mobile applications may not provide such dialing services. 411 charges may vary by plan.
8. No Directory Listing. The phone numbers you get from us will not be listed by us in any telephone directories. However, any phone numbers you transfer from your local phone company may be or remain listed. We have no control over directory listings.
9. Incompatibility With Other Services.
  1. Non-Voice Equipment Limitations.You acknowledge that our service may not be compatible with all non-voice communications equipment, including but not limited to home security systems, TTY, medical monitoring equipment, certain versions of TiVo, AOL, Netflix and other streaming services, cable television services, FiOS, satellite television systems, PBX, Centrex, other private telephone networks, or computer modems. You waive any claim against Xchange for interference with or disruption of these services and equipment, as well as any claim that Xchange is responsible for any disruption to your business, if applicable.
  2. Certain Broadband, Cable Modem, and Other Services. You acknowledge that our service may not be compatible with certain cable broadband service (such as AOL) and certain versions of TiVo. There may also be other services with which our service may be incompatible. Some providers of broadband service may provide modems that prevent the transmission of communications using our service.

The following terms apply to all Services (as defined below):

The term "Service" shall mean any Xchange Telecom LLC provided service, including, but not limited to, internet service by DSL, T1, DS3, fiber optic and wireless; telephony service provided via POTS, T1, DS3, or VOIP, any service provided under the "CentralOffice" or "Skywire" name, and any other service (collectively, the "Service(s)"). The Service shall also include any software or hardware that we provide you in connection with the Service to which you have subscribed, and includes any sub- or secondary accounts associated with a primary account. "Content" shall mean content provided by Xchange or its third party licensors, providers or suppliers and accessible on the Service, including without limitation images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, and text, with the exception of content uploaded by and stored on behalf of users. Xchange Web Site(s) mean the sites located at http://www.xchangetele.com; http://www.centraloffice.com; http://www.centraloffice.net/, http://www.skywirenetworks.com/ and any other Xchange affiliated websites, which are comprised of various web pages, tools, information, software, Content, and features operated by Xchange. The Service may utilize transport service provided by your local telephone company. If you change your local telephone company, or move your local telephone service to a wireless or Internet telephone service provider we may in our discretion either immediately terminate your Service or continue to provide Service without local service at existing terms and conditions under the then-current pricing plan applicable to your Service. If your local telephone company provisions transport service to your location utilizing fiber optic technologies, we may in our discretion terminate your Service and no longer make the Service available to your location.
Contact.
Xchange may contact you from time to time regarding your services or other potential services that may be relevant to you. If you begin but fail to complete the sign up process for the Services, Xchange may contact you in an effort to help you sign up for the Services or another service of Xchange or its affiliates. You hereby authorize Xchange and its affiliates to make such contact, even if you ultimately determine not to sign up for any Xchange or affiliate service.
Term.
This Agreement shall be effective upon your acceptance of this Agreement, as provided above, and shall continue for twelve (12) months thereafter, based on the term period and the Service plan selected (the "Initial Term"), unless otherwise modified by Xchange. In the event you change Service plans, your monthly rate and term commitment may change (depending on the plan you select); otherwise, the terms of this Agreement will remain in effect unless otherwise provided. After the Initial Term, your Service will continue on a month-to-month basis until terminated by either party as permitted by this Agreement. We reserve the right to terminate the Service (or any part thereof) in the event we cease to offer the Service generally or to your location. If we cease offering the Service or any part thereof (other than as described in Section 1, above), we will give you at least thirty (30) days advance notice. Billings for Service will automatically begin on the date provisioning of your Service is complete ("Service Ready Date") unless you are notified otherwise by Xchange, or your equipment lease provides otherwise. We may, at our election, waive any fees or charges.
Prices.
Prices are guaranteed for the Initial Term of Service, subject to the provisions of this Section. For any Service offered on a month-to-month basis, we will give you at least thirty (30) calendar days prior notice of a price change in the manner set forth in Section ‎7.e below. Thereafter, your continued use of the Service constitutes your acceptance of the price change. If you change your Service or your Initial Term, you agree to pay the applicable monthly fee that may apply to your new Service or Initial Term arrangement. You agree to pay all charges associated with the Service and rate plan selected, including but not limited to a) applicable taxes, b) surcharges, c) Federal Universal Service Fund, tax and other recovery fees, d) telephone charges, e) activation fees, f) installation fees, g) setup fees, h) equipment charges, i) termination fees, and j) other nonrecurring charges. Notwithstanding the pricing guarantee set forth above, the taxes, fees and other charges detailed in this section a) - d) may vary on a monthly basis; any variation will be reflected in your overall monthly charge. The amounts and what is included in such charges are subject to change. You also agree to pay any additional charges or fees applied to your billing account for any reason, including but not limited to interest and charges due to insufficient credit or insufficient funds. Activation fees, installation fees, setup fees, equipment charges, and other non-recurring charges, if applicable, will be included in your first month’s bill. Monthly recurring charges will be billed one month in advance. Prepaid pricing plans will be billed in advance. Xchange or its agent will bill you directly, or bill your credit card or your local telephone bill (telephone billing available in selected areas only), as you request and as approved by Xchange. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ELECT TO BE BILLED FOR YOUR SERVICE ON YOUR XCHANGE PHONE BILL, BY USING THE SERVICES YOU AGREE TO HAVE XCHANGE CHARGES INCLUDED ON YOUR PHONE BILL.
Payment.
Late Fee and Credit Related Matters. We will invoice you monthly or on a prepaid basis, as applicable. Payment to Xchange is due upon receipt of invoice and shall be made in U.S. currency. A payment received thirty (30) calendar days or more after the invoice date is considered past due. If your charges are billed by your local carrier, the Late Fee will be equal to the late payment charge that the local exchange carrier applies. If your charges are not billed by your local carrier, you agree to pay interest of 1.5% for each month or part of a month (or the maximum interest allowed by law, whichever is less), pursuant to the Heter Iska Kellali on file at Xchange. Xchange may assign unpaid delinquent charges to a collection agency for action. In the event Xchange utilizes a collection agency or takes legal action to recover monies due, you agree to reimburse Xchange for all expenses incurred to recover such monies (including attorney’s fees). We may evaluate your credit history before modifying or providing you Service. In order to establish an account with us and/or obtain or modify Service, we may obtain a report from a credit agency or exchange information with our affiliates in connection with determining your creditworthiness. If you fail to pay your bill, we may submit a negative credit report to a credit reporting agency, which will negatively affect your credit report. You may be given the option to select a prepaid service plan ("Prepaid Service Plan") which will begin on the later of (a) the date of your order, or (b) the date you change to the Prepaid Service Plan. There will be no refunds for Prepaid Service Plans. At the end of any Prepaid Service Plan, you may be given the option to select a new Prepaid Service Plan. If you do not select a new Prepaid Service Plan, your Service will automatically convert to the then-current month-to-month rate. Xchange’s imposition of a late fee does not impact its ability to choose other remedies under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, termination of services.
Refundable Deposit.
We may require that you provide us with a refundable deposit, which will be specified at the time of your order ("Subscriber Deposit"). We may also require an additional deposit after activation of the Service if you fail to pay any amounts when due. Within ninety (90) days after termination of your Service, we will return your Subscriber Deposit, less any unpaid amounts due on your account, including any amounts owed for unreturned or damaged Equipment. Amounts held on deposit will not accrue interest except as required by law.

Services.
The Services supplied pursuant to this section consist of the receipt and sending of facsimile communications ("faxes"), the storage of such faxes on an Xchange server, the provision of software to the Customer for access to the faxes, the communication via email or telephone regarding the receipt of the faxes, and any ancillary or subsidiary services provided in connection to these services. Collectively, these services will be referred to as "Fax Services."
Xchange offers the following classes of Fax Services:
1. MyFaxMail
2. FaxMail Pro
Page Limits.
Your plan will provide you with page limits. This is the amount of incoming and outgoing pages of faxes per month that are included in your plan. A page consists of any one completely transmitted page of any size; provided, however, that if you fail to inform us regarding a mistransmission of a page within 3 days of attempting to send or receive such page, you will be charged for that page as if it was a complete transmission. After using your monthly page limits, you will be charged a per-page overage fee. Most fax pages take less than sixty (60) seconds to transmit. However, for each outbound transmission, the number of pages sent is calculated based on the greater of the actual number of pages or the number of full and partial 60-second increments of transmission or connection time, whether or not the transmission occurs or is completed (such as instances when someone answers the call or transmission is interrupted before completion). For example, a one page fax with a transmission duration of 30 seconds is recognized as one page and a one page fax with a transmission duration of one minute and six seconds is recognized as two pages. Unused inbound or outbound pages are valid in the month issued and expire at the conclusion of each billing cycle. Inbound or outbound unused pages have no cash value. Such pages do not roll over into the next billing cycle , and you will receive no cash refund in the event any unused inbound or outbound pages that remain in your account upon termination or closure of your account.
Storage.
While your account is active, your plan includes a set amount of storage on the Xchange servers, measured in time. Once a fax is stored for a longer period than the time set by your fax plan, you will be charged a storage fee will shall be assessed per page. To avoid the storage fee, you must delete the copy that is stored on the server. In any case, faxes will be purged from the system as set forth in your plan. To avoid deletion of your faxes, you must save a copy on your own computer before the maximum time for storage has been exceeded. Regardless of your level of service, you acknowledge that Xchange may cease offering this feature or change its practices and/or limitations concerning this feature at any time, including, without limitation, changing the maximum number of days that fax messages will be retained, the maximum number of messages stored at any one time and the maximum storage space allotted on Xchange's servers on your behalf. You further agree that Xchange has no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any failure or malfunction of this feature, whether or not such failure prevents you from utilizing the feature, including but not limited to the storage or deletion of any faxes.
Usage.
You are given a set amount of monthly usage by your plan. This usage will allow you to fax within the Domestic US (48 states). Any fax sent outside the Domestic US will be charged our international rates per minute, in addition to any set per page usage charge (or deduction from per page limit, as appropriate.)
Security.
You are responsible for the security of your username and password to login. If you elect email delivery of your faxes, you understand and acknowledge that email is unsecure, and that Xchange bears no responsibility to ensure the security of your faxes. You acknowledge and agree that Xchange has no responsibility or liability whatsoever for your use of this email feature and that Xchange may discontinue or change the terms under which this email feature is provided to you at any time, including, without limitation, changes in the maximum size of emails that may be received, changes in the maximum storage space available for email storage and changes to or elimination of spam filtering or virus scanning. By using this feature, you acknowledge and agree: (i) to assume sole responsibility for the content of any emails transmitted; and (ii) to assume any liability arising from your transmission of, and/or any third party’s receipt of, your emails. Xchange disclaims any liability or responsibility for any failure or malfunction of this feature, whether or not such failure prevents you from utilizing the feature, including but not limited to: an error in the email transmission or receipt process; deletion of or failure to store any emails; non-receipt of emails; broken or non-functional links to emails; any viruses received through this feature. In the event that Xchange, in its sole discretion, determines or suspects that any emails sent or received through this feature constitute, or may give rise to, a violation of any law or regulation or this Agreement, or you are otherwise in breach of any provision of this Agreement, Xchange reserves the right to remove your emails and/or to deactivate links to emails without further notice to you.
Customer Responsibilities.
You are fully responsible for the contents of your transmissions through the Fax Services. Xchange simply acts as a passive conduit for you to send and receive information of your own choosing. However, Xchange reserves the right to take any action with respect to the Services that Xchange deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion, if Xchange believes you or your information may create liability for Xchange, compromise or disrupt the Services for you or other customers, or cause Xchange to lose (in whole or in part) the services of Xchange's ISPs or other suppliers. Your use of the Services is subject to all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations (including without limitation those governing account collection, export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination, securities or false advertising).

You further agree not to transmit or upload any material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law or regulation. The Services make use of the Internet for you to send and receive information of your own choosing. As a result, your conduct is subject to Internet regulations, policies and procedures. You agree not to use or reference the Services for chain letters, junk fax or junk mail, spamming or any activity making use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process or on such list. You further agree not to attempt to gain unauthorized access to other computer systems. You shall not interfere with another customer's use and enjoyment of the Services. You must (a) obtain and pay for all equipment and third-party services (e.g., Internet access and email service) required for you to access and use the Services; (b) maintain the security of your PIN/password and other confidential information relating to your Services account; (c) immediately notify Xchange of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security known to you; and (d) be responsible for all charges resulting from use of the Services, including unauthorized use prior to your notifying Xchange of such use and taking steps to prevent its further occurrence.

Service Level Agreement.
Xchange strives to ensure that its services perform above industry standards. However, there are inherent risks in sending faxes over VOIP, risks that may not be present where a fax is sent via traditional POTS technologies. Therefore, Xchange makes the following commitment in terms of service quality:
1. We will deliver 80% of faxes error-free. What this means is that out of 100 pages, at least 80 of them will be transmitted without significant degradation such as streaking, mistransmission or incomplete pages.
2. Our service will be available 99% of the time
3. If you experience a failure in service such that the above commitments are not met, we will troubleshoot and attempt to fix the problem.
4. You will receive credit for mistransmissions as long as they are reported within 3 days of the transmission.
5. You will receive credit only if you assist us in troubleshooting the problems.
6. If, after 30 days after acknowledging that we confirm a transmission issue, we cannot resolve your mistransmission issues, you may terminate your contract without penalty.
7. The above is your sole remedy for any failure of the Fax Services.

The Following terms apply to any service using Voice over IP
