II. 1010Talk VOIP E-911 EMERGENCY SERVICE DISCLAIMER
E911 Terms
PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING E911 VERY CAREFULLY. BY ACTIVATING AND PAYING FOR THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE LIMITATIONS OF 1010TALK E911 EMERGENCY DIALING SERVICE, AND UNDERSTAND THE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN SUCH SERVICE AND TRADITIONAL 911 OR E911 CALLS.
You agree to notify any user who may place calls using your Service, including any household residents or guests who may be present in your household, of the limitations of Emergency E-911 Dialing. We recommend that you maintain an alternative means of accessing emergency services in the event of Service disruption for any reason.
1010Talk E911 EMERGENCY DIALING SERVICE.
Emergency E-911 Dialing is an included feature of service. To activate this service, you must register the physical location of your 1010Talk Device with an 1010Talk customer service representative as explained below, and that location must be within the geographic serving area of an emergency call center known as a Public Safety Answering Point ('PSAP') to which 1010Talk is enabled for this service. If you fail to activate and properly configure Emergency E-911 Dialing, the Service will not support Emergency E-911 Dialing and you acknowledge and agree to this requirement. Emergency E-911 Dialing will not function until you receive notification from 1010Talk, via electronic mail, or regular postal mail, website notation or some other means, that Emergency E-911Dialing has been successfully enabled for your service, and you acknowledge and agree to this requirement. *Note that activation of 1010Talk’s E-911 emergency dialing service has a recurring monthly fee of $2.
Service Address.
You must provide the correct Service Address during the registration process, which will be utilized by 1010Talk in the establishment and operation of Emergency E-911Dialing. Failure to provide the correct and proper address location may result in misdirecting E-911 calls to the incorrect PSAP or emergency operator and/or the failure to reach and render emergency service. You acknowledge that E-911 dialing will not function properly if you move your Device to another service address, either temporarily or permanently, unless the new address has been properly recorded and in an area for which 1010Talk provides Emergency E-911 Dialing. You may change your Service Address by contacting an 1010Talk representative. Please note a valid US address is required upon activating 1010Talk emergency E911 dialing service.
Basic/Traditional 911 Service.
In select areas, 1010Talk may not support the ability for your physical location information to be automatically delivered to the PSAP with the E-911 call. The PSAP or local emergency dispatcher receiving an emergency E-911call may not be able to capture and/or retain automatic number or location information. This means that the dispatcher may not know the phone number or physical location of the person who is making the emergency E-911 call. Therefore, a caller dialing using 1010Talk’s E-911 emergency service may need to immediately tell the dispatcher the location of the emergency, and the caller must not prematurely disconnect the line, since the dispatcher may not have the phone number to call back the caller. If the caller is unable to speak or sufficiently describe the location, the emergency dispatcher may not be able to render emergency service to the appropriate location.
Enhanced 911 Service.
In select areas, 1010Talk provides Enhanced 911 (E911) capabilities, if you have activated and properly configured Emergency E-911 Dialing and received confirmation from 1010Talk that E911 has been activated. When the caller dials 911 on an 1010Talk enabled phone with E911 service, 1010Talk will utilize the location information you provided at the time of activation, or as subsequently and properly updated, validated and acknowledged by 1010Talk. This location information will be automatically delivered to the PSAP with the 911 call. If the location information you provided is incorrect, the call may be misdirected to a PSAP that does not serve your location, and may be unable to render sufficient emergency service. You are totally responsible for maintaining accurate physical location information on your 1010Talk account. If you move your 1010Talk equipment to another location, you must update your service address in accordance with the instructions contact an 1010Talk customer service operator for further assistance. If the customer does not keep the information for the registered location accurate and current the PSAP will not be able to accurately direct emergency services to the correct location. 1010Talk will not automatically update or verify any addresses provided by customer, it is the customers responsibility to maintain the accuracy of the registered location. The company will not verify that the customers PSAP will accept the registered location information.
911 and E911 Limitations.
1010Talk’s emergency E-911 service is only available in the continental United States. If the customer’s registered location is not within the continental United States, the E-911 service will not operate and therefore the customer must determine other means of calling 911. 1010Talk has no means for determining whether or not the E-911 service actually works. Therefore, it is the duty and obligation of the customer to verify that the correct PSAP has been determined for the registered location and also test the E-911 emergency service from time to time. 911 and Emergency E-911 Dialing will not function if the Device is not configured correctly or if your 1010Talk Service is not functioning for any reason, including, but not limited to, in the event of a power outage, high-speed/broadband service outage, customer owned or leased equipment failure or degradation of such equipment or any suspension or disconnection of 1010Talk Service. For technical reasons associated with the possibility of network congestion in the event of a local disaster, there is a greater possibility that a 1010Talk call will produce a busy signal, fail to be completed, or experience longer connection times, as compared to traditional 911 calls.
1010Talk’s emergency E-911 service will not function if the customers cable, DSL or other broadband service is interrupted for any reason, whether permitted by these terms of service or not. If the customer’s broadband internet service provider (ISP) or any other third party intentionally or accidentally blocks certain ports, the emergency E-911 service will not function. Upon restoration of the blocked ports, it may be necessary for the customer to reset or reconfigure some or all of the equipment provided by 1010Talk. The customer acknowledges that the company is not responsible for the blocking of ports by the customers broadband or internet service provider or any other party. Since the service is dependent on the customer provided internet or broadband service, if that service is slow or congested for any reason, the service will not work or may become unusable, in which case the emergency E-911 service will not work. Please note if the service does not work for any reason whatsoever, the emergency E-911 service will not work. Also if the customers PSAP doesn’t accept or process data regarding the registered location, then the emergency personnel may not know the customers location unless the customer verbally provides that information.
Acknowledgement.
You understand and acknowledge that 1010Talk 911 Emergency Dialing has certain characteristics that distinguish it from conventional 911 Service. These characteristics may make 1010Talk unsuitable to some users. You should carefully evaluate your circumstances when deciding to activate 1010Talk service. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to determine the technology or combination of technologies best suited to meet your emergency calling needs, and to make the necessary provisions for access to emergency calling services, such as maintaining a conventional phone line or wireless phone as a backup means of completing emergency calls.
Suspension of Your Account.
You acknowledge and understand that a service outage due to suspension of your account as a result of billing issues, non-payment or delinquency of your account or any other reason, including, but not limited to those reasons described elsewhere in this Agreement, will prevent all service, including 1010Talk’s Emergency E-911 dialing.
Indemnification.

Service outages or suspensions or terminations of service by your broadband provider or ISP will prevent the Service, including the 1010Talk E-911 emergency dialing service from functioning. Any interruption in your internet access will prevent you from placing E-911 calls during the interruption. Broadband phone service is inherently subject to more network congestion and reduced speed in the routing of E-911 calls than traditional 911 dialing over traditional PSTN. In the event that your 1010Talk account is suspended or terminated for any reason, your 1010Talk Service, including 1010Talk E-911 emergency dialing service will not function.
1010Talk does not control how E-911 calls are answered or handled by any local emergency response center. 1010Talk disclaims all responsibility for the actions and conduct of any and all national and local emergency response centers. 1010Talk relies entirely upon third parties to route E-911 calls to local and national emergency response centers. 1010Talk disclaims any and all liability or responsibility in the event such third party data used to route the call is incorrect or produces an erroneous result. Neither 1010Talk nor its office , directors or employees may be held liable for any claim, damage or loss and you hereby waive any and all such claims or causes of action arising from or related to the Services or 1010Talk E911 Services unless such claims arose from 1010Talk gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct. You, on your own behalf and on behalf of any third party, hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless 1010Talk, its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including the 1010Talk E-911 emergency dialing service or access to emergency service personnel.
