    DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

    2.1 The Service is not a telecommunications service but is a voice communications service that uses Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) technology to transmit voice communications traffic.

    2.2 The Service is an enhancement to the Customer’s Internet service. The Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Service.

    2.5 Residential Service Plans are provided for the Customer’s residential use only. Residential Service Plans may not be used for commercial or other non-residential purposes.

The Company may make such determination based on the Customer’s usage patterns and other criteria determined by the Company to differentiate between residential use and commercial or other non-residential use, and the Customer shall pay the charges for the applicable business service plan as determined by the Company, even if the Customer did not have access to the full feature set of said service plan.

    SERVICE ACCEPTABLE USE

    2.8 Listed below are the Prohibited Uses. The use of Service as described below in this Section is strictly prohibited (“Prohibited Uses”). The Customer hereby authorizes the Company to terminate or modify the Service at any time and without notice, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that the Service is, or was at any time, used for a Prohibited Use. The Customer is solely responsible for any Prohibited Use of the Service by the Customer or by anyone other than the Customer using the Service, whether authorized by the Customer or not. The Prohibited Uses are as follows:

    A. The Customer’s use of the Service for any illegal act;

    E. The Customer’s use of the Service for party line conversations or other similar infractions which are affecting the quality of voice service;

    2.9 The Customer shall not attempt to hack, break-in, circumvent the Company’s billing, tracking or other systems, or otherwise disrupt the Service or make any use of the Service that is inconsistent with its intended purpose. The Company may immediately terminate the Service without notice if the Company believes, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Customer has tampered with the Service or otherwise breached the terms of this paragraph. In the event of such termination, the Customer will remain responsible for all charges incurred while the Service was active in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement.

    2.10 The Service is intended only for use within the continental United States and North America. The Customer’s use of the Service outside the United States is not permitted.

    EQUIPMENT

    2.11 It is the Customer’s duty to determine whether or not the Service is interoperable with any security system, medical alert or other critical systems connected to it. The Company does not recommend use of the Service for security or other critical systems and the Company strongly recommends that the Customer maintain an alternative telephone line for use with any other equipment that is used with security systems because the Service may fail and cause loss of property or bodily injury when used in connection with a security system. If the Customer should determine that the Service will be used with such systems, then the Customer assumes all risk of loss if the Service should fail to perform at any time, the Customer explicitly accepts the Service in its “as-is” condition, with no representations or warranties by the Company of any kind that the Service is suitable for any particular purpose.

    2.12 If the service is not used with the Company’s Wireless or wireline Broadband Internet services the Company cannot determine if the Service is compatible with another broadband service provider’s service and/or equipment. Even if the Service should work with such broadband systems, the Company cannot guarantee that the Service will continue to be compatible, due to the fact that broadband providers may change or upgrade their equipment from time to time. The Company does not warrant that the Services will be compatible with all or any broadband services other than that provided by the Company and expressly disclaims any expressed or implied warranties regarding the compatibility of the Service with any particular broadband Internet service.

    2.13 To use the Service, the Customer will need either (i) an analog telephony adapter (“ATA”) or (ii) an IP Phone system that is capable of establishing or terminating a SIP trunk. Unless the Customer purchases or leases a different Internet Phone Adapter from the Company, the Company will provide a basic ATA to Customer for Customer’s use of the Service. The ATA is necessary for use of the Service and is provided to the Customer as a feature. At no time does the ownership of the Company-provided ATA transfer from the Company to the Customer, unless the Customer chooses to purchase the ATA. The Company will provide a replacement warranty for the ATA and will immediately replace any ATA if found to be defective through no fault or negligence of the Customer. Defective ATAs must be returned, by the Customer, to the Company. Upon deactivation of the Service by either the Customer or Company, and for any reason, the Customer must return the ATA to the Company within thirty (30) days of deactivation. If for any reason the Customer does not return the ATA to the Company within thirty (30) days, or if the ATA is returned in damaged condition, the Company will invoice the Customer $59.95 for replacement of the appropriate adapter.

    2.14 Customer acknowledges and understands that the Service may not support or be compatible with:

    A. Non-recommended configurations including but not limited to analog telephony adapters not currently provided or sold by the Company or otherwise certified by the Company as compatible with the Service;

    B. Certain non-voice communications equipment, including certain makes or models of alarm and security systems, certain medical monitoring devices, certain fax machines, and certain “dial-up” modems;

    C. Rotary dial phone handsets, pulse dial phone handsets, and models of other voice-related communications equipment such as certain private branch exchange (“PBX”) equipment, answering machines, and traditional Caller ID units;

    D. Casual/dial around (10-10) calling; 976, 900, 700, or 500 number calling.

    2.15 Customer acknowledges and understands that the Service may not support or be compatible with Customer-provided firewalls or firewall routers, that are not properly configured to allow for VoIP traffic, connected to the Company-provided ATA and Internet input connection. The Customer understands that the Customer has the option of purchasing a firewall or firewall router from the Company with proper configuration provided by the Company to allow for VoIP traffic and Quality of Service settings. The Company maintains minimum technical and/or configuration requirements for Customer-provided firewalls or firewall routers at http://Portal page.

    2.16 THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO INSTALL, OPERATE, OR MAINTAIN CUSTOMER-PROVIDED EQUIPMENT. The Customer alone shall be responsible for providing maintenance, repair, operation and replacement of all inside telephone wiring, equipment, and facilities on the Customer’s side of the Company-provided analog telephony adapter or Internet input connection. All Customer-provided equipment and wiring that Customer uses in connection with the Services must be fully compatible with the Services. Customer shall be responsible for the payment of all charges for troubleshooting, maintenance or repairs attempted or performed by the Company when the difficulty or trouble report results from Customer-provided equipment.

    2.17 The Customer is solely responsible for providing and maintaining working telephone equipment and handsets including but not limited to telephones, PBXs, IP-PBXs, and/or telephone systems and servers. Customer is solely responsible for notifying and training its users regarding proper use of any working telephone equipment and handsets in accordance with applicable, including regulatory, requirements, and for any programming to its telephone equipment and handsets that may be necessary to enable direct dialing of N11 numbers such as 911 or 711 and to enable calls to be connected to new area codes. Although the Company will configure Customer’s Service according to the specified standard configuration of the Service Plan purchased, it is the sole responsibility of Customer and Customer’s PBX or phone system vendor to ensure that the working telephone equipment is set-up to accept the Service and that the PBX or phone system configuration is suitable to satisfy the Customer’s requirements.

    SERVICE MAINTENANCE

    2.18 Subject to applicable law and to the limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without any obligation to the Customer, to undertake any activities it deems necessary to test, modify, update, manage, inspect, maintain, repair, or monitor the Service and its infrastructure or related infrastructure, carrier network connections, and all of its related components. This may include, but is not limited to, activities relating to administration, system security and intrusion detection, technical performance, and monitoring Customer compliance.

    3.0 CHARGES, PAYMENTS, BILLING DISPUTES, TAXES AND REGULATORY FEES
    3.1 The Company’s fees and charges are set forth within the Company’s website https://www.wyoming.com or by contacting the Company at 1-800-996-4638.

By accepting this Agreement, the Customer agrees that no credit is due when the out-of-service circumstance is due to emergency, catastrophe, natural disaster, loss of power at the Customer’s Service location, nor shall it apply to extraordinary or abnormal conditions of operation such as those resulting from work stoppage, civil unrest, Customer action or equipment, or force majeure.

    5.0 911 EMERGENCY SERVICE; DESCRIPTION, LIMITATIONS, AND CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS
    5.1 AS REQUIRED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF WYOMING AND THE UNITED STATES, THE COMPANY PROVIDES A MEANS BY WHICH YOU MAY ACCESS LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICES BY DIALING “911”. BY CLICKING ON THE “I AGREE TO THE WYOPHONE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE AGREEMENT” BUTTON DURING THE ONLINE INQUIRY FORM SUBMISSION OR OTHER SIGN UP PROCESS, AND BY CONTINUING TO USE THE SERVICE AND THE 911 SERVICE AFTER ANY CHANGE OR MODIFICATION BY THE COMPANY OF THIS SECTION 5.0, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU AGREE TO PROVIDE TRUE AND ACCURATE SERVICE LOCATION INFORMATION AS PROMPTED BY THE ONLINE INQUIRY FORM AND/OR COMPANY, AND THAT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS SECTION 5.0 AND THIS AGREEMENT, THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS SECTION 5.0 “911 EMERGENCY SERVICE” ALONG WITH THIS AGREEMENT (AS IT MAY BE MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME) AND YOU HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE SERVICE AND THE 911 SERVICE ARE SUITABLE TO YOUR NEEDS.

    5.2 When using the Service to make an emergency call by dialing 911, the Service does not work like traditional landline telephone 911 services, which are physically restricted to the service address. When the Customer makes a 911 call using the Service, the emergency operator has no way of accurately knowing the Customer’s exact service location or telephone number from which the call was made. In an attempt to facilitate providing this service location information, the Company has contracted with Contact Communications, Inc. to provide the Company and its Customers with access to the 911 Service ultimately through Intrado, Inc.’s database inquiry and routing services. The enhanced 911 Service (“E911”) needs database inquiry capability to match the Customer’s telephone number with the address provided to the Company by the Customer (the “Service Location”). Assuming the Service Location is accurate and kept current by the Customer, if a 911 call is made from a location within the geographic serving area of a Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”), the E911 Service attempts to forward the address of the Service Location to the PSAP. If the Customer fails to keep the address of the Service Location current and accurate with the Company, then the PSAP may direct emergency services to the wrong address or location. In addition, not all PSAP’s are E911 capable, and thus do not have the means to accept the information regarding the Service Location.

    5.3 The Customer understands that the 911 Service is unreliable and may not work if and when needed. The Service should not be the primary means of the customer to make emergency calls using 911, and it is the Customer’s sole responsibility to inform all residents, guests, and other third parties who may be present at the Customer’s Service Location of the limitations of the 911 Service.

    5.4 During the Online Inquiry Form Submission and/or any Sign-Up process, the Customer is asked to provide the Customer’s complete “Service Location” address for each telephone number to be included in the Service. The Customer’s Service Location is the address where emergency services will be directed (if the applicable PSAP is E911 capable and accepts the Service Location information), regardless of the Customer’s physical location when making the 911 call. It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to provide full and accurate Service Location information to the Company and the Company bears no responsibility for the accuracy of the Service Location information nor is it the responsibility of the Company to maintain the Service Location information except as provided by the Customer.

    5.5 If the Customer moves any equipment needed to use the Service to a location other than the Service Location specified to the Company by the Customer, then it is the duty and obligation of the Customer to update and/or correct the address of the Service Location for each telephone number that is affected. It is the duty and responsibility of the Customer to contact the Company to update and/or correct the address of the Service Location for the Service if the Service, or any Customer equipment, is to be moved to a location other than the Service Location previously provided to the Company by the Customer.

    5.6 The Company will not automatically update or verify any addresses provided by the Customer; it is the Customer’s responsibility to maintain the accuracy of the registered Service Location. The Company will not verify that the Customer’s PSAP is E911 capable or that it will accept the Service Location information. If at any time after the Sign-Up process is completed and the Service has been activated the Customer discovers the Service Location information is inaccurate, or if the Customer moves any Customer equipment needed to use the Service to a location other than the Service Location, then the Customer must contact the Company to correct this information: the Company will not initiate any correction to any Customer’s Service Location information.

    5.7 The Customer may verify or register a new Service Location for each phone number covered by the Service by several means: (1) The Customer may use the Company’s website at https://www.wyoming.com. After logging in and going to the Account Information, the Customer should scroll to the section entitled: “911 Address Service Location” and follow the instructions; or, (2) the Customer can contact the Company at 1-800-996-4638. Any updated address information for the Service Location may take up to ninety-six (96) hours to be updated in the relevant 911 databases. Accordingly, any emergency 911 calls made within this estimated time period after updating the Service Location address information may result in the transmission of inaccurate information to the PSAP. Only one address for the Service Location can be active at any time.

    5.8 In order for the Customer to expect emergency services to be available when needed, the Customer’s Service Location must be within the geographic calling area of a PSAP. The Company does not provide PSAP’s or PSAP information, nor does the Company determine the correct PSAP. The Company will not notify the Customer whether or not the Customer resides within the geographic area of a PSAP and it is the Customer’s obligation to verify whether or not a PSAP will be available in the event of an emergency.

    5.9 Although the Customer may provide information about the Service Location, it is up to each PSAP to accept and process the Service Location information and the Company has no control over what each PSAP does or doesn’t do with the Service Location information. The PSAP may or may not have the ability to know the Service Location information and if the Customer lives in an area where the PSAP does not accept or process this Service Location information, the emergency services personnel will not know the Customer’s location and may not be able to dispatch emergency services unless the Customer provides the information verbally.

    5.10 If the Customer’s Service Location is not within the continental United States, the 911 Service will not operate and the Customer must determine an alternate method for obtaining emergency services in that locale.

    5.11 The Company has no means for determining whether or not the 911 Service actually works for the Customer’s Service Location. Therefore, it is the obligation of the Customer to (i) verify that the correct PSAP has been determined for the Service Location; (ii) test the 911 Service from time to time; and (iii) re-test the PSAP and that 911 Service is working upon each change of information for the Service Location. The Customer should call the non-emergency telephone number for the Customer’s local emergency service provider and request information for means of testing a 911 call to that provider.

    5.12 The Company will not be liable for any delay or failure to provide the Service, including emergency 911 service. Emergency 911 service is complex and dependent upon numerous conditions being satisfied. Accordingly, the 911 Service is susceptible to failure, especially if any Service interruption or degradation of voice service quality caused by any of the following conditions occurs:

    5.12.1 The electricity at the Customer’s Service Location is disrupted or interrupted for any reason;

    5.12.2 The Customer’s Wireless, DSL or other wireline Internet service that the Service uses is disrupted or interrupted for any reason;

    5.12.3 The Service malfunctions or is disabled, terminated or suspended for any reason, whether permitted by this Agreement or not;

    5.12.4 An act or omission of an underlying carrier, service provider, vendor or third party;

    5.12.5 Equipment, other equipment, network or facility failure directly related to any Broadband Internet Service;

    5.12.6 Equipment, other equipment, network or facility upgrade, modification, or relocation directly related to any Broadband Internet Service;

    5.12.7 Service, equipment, network or facility failure caused by the loss of electrical power directly related to any Broadband Internet Service;

    5.12.8 Force majeure events such as, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of nature, strikes, fire, war, riot, acts of terrorism and government actions;

    5.12.9 Any impediment to usage of the Service caused by any third party;

    5.12.10 Any act or omission by the Customer or any person using the Service; or

    5.12.11 Any other cause that is beyond the Company’s control, including without limitation, a failure of or defect in any equipment, the failure of an incoming or outgoing communication, the inability of communications (including, without limitation, 911 Service) to be connected or completed, or forwarded or the failure of emergency personnel to provide emergency services in a timely fashion.

    5.13 Since the Service is dependent upon the Company’s Wireless or wireline Broadband Internet services, if those services are slow or congested for any reason, the Internet services may not work or become unusable. The 911 Service will not work should the Wireless or wireline Broadband Internet services become unusable due to network congestion or overall Internet slowness.

    5.14 If the Service does not work for any reason whatsoever, the 911 Service will not work and no emergency calling will be possible using the Service.

    5.15 If the PSAP doesn’t accept or process data regarding the Service Location, then the emergency personnel may not know the Customer’s Service location unless the Customer verbally provides that information. The Company bears no responsibility or liability for the PSAP’s ability to process Service Location information or data.

    5.16 Upon restoration of the Service after a power outage, Internet service or broadband outage or any number of Service or other interruptions, some of which are described above, it may be necessary for the Customer to reset or reconfigure some or all of the Customer’s Equipment, including Customer provided equipment, e.g., router. It is the Customer’s responsibility to verify that the Service is functioning after each such interruption or outage.

    5.17 The Company will not verify that the Service is functioning at any time at the Customer’s Service Location and it is the Customer’s obligation to determine whether or not the Service is functioning. If the Service does not function, the 911 Service will not function.

    5.18 If there is a change in the telephone number, port, customer equipment or change of any other information upon which is necessary for the Service to function, it is the Customer’s obligation to re-activate the Service after each such change. In order to add a new telephone number the Customer must go through a new Sign-Up process and provide the accurate Service Location address for that new telephone number. The Service Location assigned by the Customer to a telephone number will not be automatically assigned to any new telephone number or any other telephone numbers.

    5.19 The 911 Service may not automatically provide the PSAP with the Customer’s telephone number, name and/or address and the Customer must assume that the 911 operator does not have that information and it must be provided directly to the 911 operator orally by the Customer. The Customer will need to clearly state the nature of Customer’s emergency and also provide the Customer’s telephone number and the address where the emergency is located. In the event the call is dropped, disconnected or forwarded, the emergency personnel will not be able to find Customer location unless the Customer provides this information.

    5.20 If for any reason the Customer is unable to talk or otherwise provide the 911 operator with the Customer’s address, phone number or other relevant information, the 911 operator may not be able to direct emergency services to the Customer’s location.

    5.21 Since the routing and provision of 911 calls throughout the United States is an important function that is extremely complex and based on many standards, protocols and regulations of numerous government agencies, the Company has elected to engage the services of Intrado, Inc., through the Company’s contractual relationship with Contact Communications, Inc., to provide the 911 Service to the Customers. All 911 calls and updated information relating to the Service Location is automatically routed to Intrado, Inc., who in turn attempts to route the call and that information to the correct PSAP. The Company does not have any input or control over this information or process.

    5.22 Due to the fact that the company has engaged the services of Intrado, Inc. to provide the 911 service, the Company has no control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using the 911 service are answered or addressed by any PSAP or any other party. The Company hereby disclaims any and all responsibility for the conduct, actions, inactions or negligence of Intrado, Inc., any PSAP and/or any local police, fire or other emergency response services. The Company disclaims any and all liability for the accuracy or inaccuracy of any data that is entered or provided by the Customer, that is transmitted to Intrado, Inc., the PSAP or any other party which may result in an error or delay in providing emergency services to the Customer or others. The Customer acknowledges and understands that the Company will not be liable or responsible for any delay, power outage, network outage, or service outage of any kind and/or inability to dial 911 using the 911 service or to access emergency service personnel due to the characteristics and limitation of 911 service set forth in this document or otherwise. The Customer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to the Customer in connection with the Service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees) by, or on behalf of, the Customer or any third party user of the Service relating to the failure or outage of the Service, including those related to 911 service. The Customer acknowledges that the Company directs the Customer to always have an alternative means of accessing emergency service and that the 911 service should be not be the Customer’s only or primary means of accessing emergency service. This disclaimer provision supplements the general disclaimer and indemnification provisions found below and is not in lieu of those provisions.

    5.23 The Service Location information is provided by the Customer during the Sign-Up process and may be later updated by the Customer at the Company’s website https://www.wyoming.com or by contacting the Company at 1-800-996-4638. The Customer is solely responsible for all Service Location information provided to the Company, even if such information was provided by unauthorized persons. The Customer must notify the Company immediately if the Customer has reason to know or believes that the Customer’s Service Location information has been compromised or altered by unauthorized persons.
