  2. 911 & SERVICE LIMITATIONS

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that Fonality provide E911 Service to all of the Customers using the Service within the United States. The terms in this section apply to all Customers regardless of location.

    E911 service provided by FONALITY works differently than traditional wireline 911 emergency services. It is very important that you read, understand and accept the following warnings and limitations.

    These characteristics may make Fonality E911 services unsuitable for some customers. Because customer circumstances vary widely, customers should carefully evaluate their own circumstances when deciding whether to rely solely upon Fonality E911 service.
Customer acknowledges that it is Customer’s responsibility to determine the technology or combination of technologies best suited to meet customer’s emergency calling needs, and to make the necessary provisions for access to emergency calling services.

    Fonality advises Customer to maintain an alternative means of accessing traditional 911 services.

    • Cost: Fonality passes through to Customer a mandatory E911 service fee of $25 per use to cover the costs associated with providing this service. This fee will be charged to Customer for each occurrence.
    • 911 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT FONALITY’S EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES (THE “SERVICES”) DO NOT SUPPORT 911 EMERGENCY DIALING OR OTHER EMERGENCY FUNCTIONS IN THE SAME WAY THAT TRADITIONAL WIRELINE 911 SERVICES WORK. THE DIFFERENCES ARE DETAILED IN THIS SECTION AND CUSTOMER AGREES TO NOTIFY ANY POTENTIAL USER OF THE SERVICES, WHO MAY PLACE CALLS USING CUSTOMER’S SERVICES, OF THE 911 LIMITATIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

      NON-VOICE SYSTEMS: THE SERVICES MAY NOT FUNCTION WITH OUTDIALING SYSTEMS INCLUDING HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS, MEDICAL MONITORING EQUIPMENT, TTY EQUIPMENT, AND ENTERTAINMENT OR SATELLITE TELEVISION SYSTEMS. CUSTOMER HAS NO CLAIM AGAINST FONALITY FOR INTERRUPTION OR DISRUPTION OF SUCH SYSTEMS BY THE SERVICES.

    • PHYSICAL LOCATION: CUSTOMERS WHO SUBSCRIBE TO FONALITY E911 SERVICE WILL BE REQUIRED TO REGISTER THE PHYSICAL LOCATION OF THEIR EQUIPMENT WITH FONALITY, AND AGREE TO UPDATE THE LOCATION WHENEVER THE PHYSICAL LOCATION OF SERVICE CHANGES.

      CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ONLY MECHANISM FOR ROUTING 911 CALLS TO THE CORRECT EMERGENCY CALL TAKER IS THE PHYSICAL LOCATION CURRENTLY REGISTERED FOR THE ACCOUNT. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT ANY ENHANCED LOCATION INFORMATION PASSED TO AN EMERGENCY OPERATOR BY FONALITY WILL BE BASED UPON THE PHYSICAL LOCATION PROVIDED TO FONALITY BY CUSTOMER. THERE MAY BE SOME DELAY BEFORE THE AUTOMATIC NUMBER AND LOCATION INFORMATION IS PASSED TO THE LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE OPERATOR.


      IN THE EVENT THAT THE PHYSICAL LOCATION HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED OR IS NOT COMPLETE, FONALITY MAY ATTEMPT TO ROUTE A 911 CALL BASED UPON THE BILL-TO OR SHIP-TO ADDRESSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT OR INITIAL ORDER.

    • LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: INDEMNIFICATION: CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT FONALITY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SERVICE OUTAGE AND/OR INABILITY TO DIAL 911 OR ANY OTHER EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER USING FONALITY OR TO ACCESS AN EMERGENCY SERVICE OPERATOR DUE TO THE 911 DIALING CHARACTERISTICS AND LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.

    9. Toll Charges: Every call to or from Equipment using the Services that originates or terminates in the Public Switched Telephone Network ("PSTN"), including other VoIP networks, is considered a Toll Call. The duration of each call is to be calculated in one-minute increments and rounded up to the nearest one-minute increment for any fraction of minutes used. If the computed charge for a call includes a fraction of a cent, the fraction is rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Subject to the section 3.12 and section 4 below, Customers who are on an Unlimited Plan shall not be charged for telephone calls to the Inclusive Countries. The current list of Inclusive Countries (and related exclusions to the types of call covered) can be found at http://www.fonality.com/legal/international-service.html .

    10. International rates:
    11. When Customer dials an International PSTN phone number or mobile phone number, charges may apply regardless of whether the party on the other line answers the call. Calls made by a Customer to an International mobile or premium rate international telephone number may result in higher toll charges. International rates vary by destination country, city, and band, and are subject to change by Fonality from time-to-time without prior notice. You will be charged for all calls to any international destination, excluding Inclusive Countries, in full-minute increments at Fonality’s then-current rate as posted at http://www.fonality.com/legal/rates.html. Note that certain limitations apply to Customer’s ability to place calls to certain international destinations and types of phones, including but not limited to, satellite phones. Contact billing@fonality.com for details or to make arrangements to pre-pay for such services.
    12. Fraud:
    13. It is the express intention of the parties that Customer, and not Fonality, shall bear the risk of loss arising from any unauthorized or fraudulent usage of the Product. Fonality reserves the right, but is not required, to take any and all action it deems appropriate (including blocking access to particular calling numbers or geographic areas) to prevent or terminate any fraud or abuse in connection with the Product, or any use thereof, provided, however, that any such action shall be consistent with applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations and provided further that the failure to take any such action shall not limit Customer’s responsibility for all usage of the product.
    14. Price Changes and other Modifications:
    15. Fonality may decrease prices without providing advance notice. Increases to the prices or charges for the Product (other than international calling) are effective no sooner than five days after we post them on our web site at www.fonality.com/legal/rates.html
    16. Customer must dispute any charges for the Product in writing within thirty (30) days of the date of the charge by Fonality or Customer waives any objection and further recourse.

    4. If Fonality determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer is not using the Unlimited Plans for Reasonable Business Use, Fonality reserves the right to immediately (a) charge the credit card of Customer for the current per-minute rate for any usage determined to be outside of Reasonable Business Use and (b) to terminate or modify the terms of the Product for that Customer.
  5. PROHIBITED USES. Any use of the Product or any other action that causes a disruption in the network integrity of Fonality or its vendors, whether directly or indirectly, is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of the Product at the sole discretion of Fonality.
