the number of workstations using a single connection.

maintain all necessary rights of access to Service Location(s) for
Phoneall Cloud to install and provide the Services, unless Phoneall Cloud has
secured such access prior to this Agreement. In addition, Customer
shall provide an adequate environmentally controlled space and
such electricity as may be required for installation, operation, and
maintenance of the Phoneall Cloud Equipment used to provide the
Services within the Service Location(s). Phoneall Cloud and its employees
and authorized contractors will require free ingress and egress into

of Services. Upon reasonable notice from Phoneall Cloud, Customer shall
provide all required access to Phoneall Cloud and its authorized personnel.

of the necessary facilities and equipment to provide the Services, or
in the case of Voice, the day Voice Service is activated, Phoneall Cloud

Date." Any failure or refusal on the part of Customer to be ready to
receive the Services on the Service Commencement Date shall not
relieve Customer of its obligation to pay applicable Service charges.
2.5 Phoneall Cloud Equipment. Phoneall Cloud Equipment is and shall remain
the property of Phoneall Cloud regardless of where installed within the
Service Location(s), and shall not be considered a fixture or an
addition to the land or the Service Location(s). At any time Phoneall Cloud

connection with providing the Services. Customer shall not move,
rearrange, disconnect, remove, attempt to repair, or otherwise
tamper with any Phoneall Cloud Equipment or permit others to do so, and
shall not use the Phoneall Cloud Equipment for any purpose other than
that authorized by the Agreement. Phoneall Cloud shall maintain Phoneall Cloud
Equipment in good operating condition during the term of this
Agreement; provided, however, that such maintenance shall be at
Phoneall Cloud’s expense only to the extent that it is related to and/or
resulting from the ordinary and proper use of the Phoneall Cloud
Equipment. Customer is responsible for damage to, or loss of,
Phoneall Cloud Equipment caused by its acts or omissions, and its
noncompliance with this Section, or by fire, theft or other casualty at
the Service Location(s), unless caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Phoneall Cloud. Customer agrees not to take any action
that would directly or indirectly impair Phoneall Cloud’s title to the
Phoneall Cloud Equipment, or expose Phoneall Cloud to any claim, lien,
encumbrance, or legal process, except as otherwise agreed in
writing by the Parties. Following Phoneall Cloud’s discontinuance of the
Services to the Service Location(s), Phoneall Cloud retains the right to
remove the Phoneall Cloud Equipment including, but not limited to, that
portion of the Phoneall Cloud Equipment located within the Service
Location(s). To the extent Phoneall Cloud removes such Phoneall Cloud
Equipment, it shall be responsible for returning the Service
Location(s) to its prior condition, wear and tear excepted.
2.6 Customer-Provided Equipment. Phoneall Cloud shall have no
obligation to install, operate, or maintain Customer-Provided
Equipment. Customer alone shall be responsible for providing
maintenance, repair, operation and replacement of all inside
telephone wiring and equipment and facilities on the Customer’s
side of the cable modem, route and/or coaxial 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 Phoneall Cloud’s employees or authorized contractors when
the difficulty or trouble report results from Customer-Provided
Equipment.
2.7 Engineering Review. Each Service Order submitted by Customer
shall be subject to an engineering review by Phoneall Cloud. The
engineering review will determine whether the cable plant must be
extended, built or upgraded in order to provide the ordered Services
at the requested Service Location(s), or whether Service installation
has to be expedited to meet the Customer’s requested Service
Commencement Date ("Custom Installation") . Phoneall Cloud will provide
Customer written notification in the event Service installation at any
Service Location will require an additional one-time installation fee
("Custom Installation Fee"). Customer will have five (5) days from
receipt of such notice to reject the Custom Installation Fee and
terminate, without further liability, the Service Order with respect to
the affected Service Location(s).
2.8 Administrative Web Site. Phoneall Cloud may, at its sole option, make
one or more administrative web sites available to Customer in
connection with Customer’s use of the Services (each an
"Administrative Web Site"). Phoneall Cloud may furnish Customer with
1
V. 1 Effective FEB 07 2012
one or more user identifications and/or passwords for use on the
Administrative Web Site. Customer shall be responsible for the
confidentiality and use of such user identifications and/or passwords
and shall immediately notify Phoneall Cloud if there has been an
unauthorized release, use or other compromise of any user
identification or password. In addition, Customer agrees that its
authorized users shall keep confidential and not distribute any
information or other materials made available by the Administrative
Web Site. Customer shall be solely responsible for all use of the
Administrative Web Site, and Phoneall Cloud shall be entitled to rely on all
Customer uses of and submissions to the Administrative Web Site as
authorized by Customer. Phoneall Cloud shall not be liable for any loss,
cost, expense or other liability arising out of any Customer use of the
Administrative Web Site or any information on the Administrative
Web Site. Phoneall Cloud may change or discontinue the Administrative
Web Site, or Customer’s right to use the Administrative Web Site, at
any time. Additional terms and policies may apply to Customer’s use
of the Administrative Web Site. These terms and policies will be
posted on the site.
ARTICLE 3. CHARGES, BILLING AND PAYMENT
3.1 Charges. Customer shall pay Phoneall Cloud one hundred percent
(100%) of the Custom Installation Fee prior to the installation of
Service. Customer further agrees to pay all charges associated with
the Services, as set forth or referenced in the applicable Service
Order(s) or invoiced by Phoneall Cloud. These charges may include, but are
not limited to installation charges, monthly recurring service
charges, usage charges including without limitation charges for the
use of Phoneall Cloud Equipment, per-call charges, charges for service
calls, maintenance and repair charges, and applicable federal, state,
and local taxes, fees, surcharges and recoupments (however
designated). Some Services such as measured and per-call charges,
(as explained below in the Voice Additional Terms) may be invoiced
after the Service has been provided to Customer. Except as
otherwise indicated herein or on the applicable Service Order(s),
monthly recurring charges for Internet Services shall not increase
during the initial Service Term.
3.2 Third-Party Charges. Customer may incur charges from third
party service providers that are separate and apart from the
amounts charged by Phoneall Cloud. These may include, without
limitation, charges resulting from accessing on-line services, calls to
parties who charge for their telephone based services, purchasing or
subscribing to other offerings via the Internet or interactive options
on Public View Video, Video, or otherwise. Customer agrees that all
such charges, including all applicable taxes, are Customer’s sole
responsibility. In addition, Customer is solely responsible for
protecting the security of credit card information provided to others
in connection with such transactions.
3.3 Payment of Bills. Except as otherwise indicated herein or on the
Service Order(s), Phoneall Cloud will invoice Customer in advance on a
monthly basis for all monthly recurring Service charges and fees
arising under the Agreement. All other charges will be billed monthly
in arrears. Customer shall make payment to Phoneall Cloud for all invoiced
amounts within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. Any
amounts not paid to Phoneall Cloud within such period will be considered
past due. If a Service Commencement Date is not the first day of a
billing period, Customer’s next monthly invoice shall include a pro-
rated charge for the Services, from the date of installation to the
first day of the new billing. In certain cases, Phoneall Cloud may agree to
provide billing services on behalf of third parties, as the agent of the
third party. Any such third-party charges shall be payable pursuant
to any contract or other arrangement between Customer and the
third party. Phoneall Cloud shall not be responsible for any dispute
regarding these charges between Customer and such third party.
Customer must address all such disputes directly with the third
party.
3.4 Partial Payment. Partial payment of any bill will be applied to
the Customer’s outstanding charges in the amounts and proportions
as solely determined by Phoneall Cloud. No acceptance of partial
payment(s) by Phoneall Cloud shall constitute a waiver of any rights to
collect the full balance owed under the Agreement.
3.5 Payment by Credit Card. Upon Customer’s written request and
Phoneall Cloud’s acceptance of such request, Phoneall Cloud will accept certain
credit card payments for charges generated under the Agreement.
By providing Phoneall Cloud with a credit card number, Customer
authorizes Phoneall Cloud to charge the card for all charges generated
under this Agreement, until (i) this Agreement is terminated or (ii)
Customer provides sixty (60) days prior notice that Phoneall Cloud stop
charging the credit card. Customer agrees to provide Phoneall Cloud with
updated credit card or alternate payment information on a timely
basis prior to the expiration or termination of the credit card on file
or in the event that Customer’s credit card limit is or will be
insufficient to cover payment. If Phoneall Cloud is unable to charge
Customer's credit card for any reason, Customer agrees to pay all
amounts due, including any late payment charges or bank charges,
upon demand by Phoneall Cloud. Phoneall Cloud may limit the option to pay by
credit card to specific Services or may discontinue acceptance of
credit card payments in whole or in part upon thirty (30) days prior
notice to Customer.
3.6 Credit Approval and Deposits. Initial and ongoing delivery of
Services may be subject to credit approval. Customer shall provide
Phoneall Cloud with credit information requested by Phoneall Cloud. Customer
authorizes Phoneall Cloud to make inquiries and to receive information
about Customer’s credit history from others and to enter this
information in Customer’s records. Customer represents and
warrants that all credit information that it provides to Phoneall Cloud will
be true and correct. Phoneall Cloud, in its sole discretion, may deny the
Services based upon an unsatisfactory credit history. Additionally,
subject to applicable regulations, Phoneall Cloud may require Customer to
1
V. 1 Effective FEB 07 2012
make a deposit (in an amount not to exceed an estimated two-
month's charge for the Services) as a condition to Phoneall Cloud’s
provision of the Services, or as a condition to Phoneall Cloud’s
continuation of the Services. The deposit will not, unless explicitly
required by law, bear interest and shall be held by Phoneall Cloud as
security for payment of Customer's charges. If the provision of
Service to Customer is terminated, or if Phoneall Cloud determines in its
sole discretion that such deposit is no longer necessary, then the
amount of the deposit will be credited to Customer's account or will
be refunded to Customer, as determined by Phoneall Cloud.
3.7 Taxes and Fees. Customer shall be responsible for the payment
of any and all applicable local, state, and federal taxes or fees
(however designated). Customer will be responsible to pay any
Service fees, payment obligations and taxes that become applicable
retroactively.
3.8 Other Government-Related Costs and Fees. Phoneall Cloud reserves
the right to invoice Customer for any fees or payment obligations in
connection with the Services imposed by governmental or quasi-
governmental bodies in connection with the sale, installation, use,
or provision of the Services, including, without limitation, applicable
franchise fees (if any), regardless of whether Phoneall Cloud or its
Affiliates pay the taxes directly or are required by an order, rule, or
regulation of a taxing jurisdiction to collect them from Customer..
These obligations may include those imposed on Phoneall Cloud or its
affiliates by an order, rule, or regulation of a regulatory body or a
court of competent jurisdiction, as well as those that Phoneall Cloud or its
affiliates are required to collect from the Customer or to pay to
others in support of statutory or regulatory programs. For example,
Voice customers are charged a monthly regulatory recovery fee to
help defray Phoneall Cloud’s contributions to municipal, state, and federal
programs including, without limitation, universal service, telecom
relay services for the visually/hearing impaired, and 911/E911
programs and infrastructure. This regulatory recovery fee is not a
tax, and it is not government-mandated. Taxes and other
government-related fees and surcharges may be changed with or
without notice,
3.9 Disputed Invoice. If Customer disputes any portion of an invoice,
Customer must pay the undisputed portion of the invoice and
submit a written claim, including all documentation substantiating
Customer’s claim, to Phoneall Cloud for the disputed amount of the
invoice by the invoice due date. The Parties shall negotiate in good
faith to resolve the dispute. However, should the parties fail to
mutually resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days after the dispute
was submitted to Phoneall Cloud, all disputed amounts shall become
immediately due and payable to Phoneall Cloud.
3.10 Past-Due Amounts. Any undisputed payment not made when
due will be subject to a reasonable late charge not to exceed the
highest rate allowed by law on the unpaid invoice. If Customer’s
account is delinquent, Phoneall Cloud may refer the account to a
collection agency or attorney that may pursue collection of the past
due amount and/or any Phoneall Cloud Equipment that Customer fails to
return in accordance with the Agreement. If Phoneall Cloud is required to
use a collection agency or attorney to collect any amount owed by
Customer or any unreturned Phoneall Cloud Equipment, Customer agrees
to pay all reasonable costs of collection or other action. The
remedies set forth herein are in addition to and not in limitation of
any other rights and remedies available to Phoneall Cloud under the
Agreement or at law or in equity.
3.11 Rejected Payments. Except to the extent otherwise prohibited
by law, Customer will be assessed a service charge up to the full
amount permitted under applicable law for any check or other
instrument used to pay for the Services that has been rejected by
the bank or other financial institution.
3.12 Fraudulent Use of Services. Customer is responsible for all
charges attributable to Customer with respect to the Services, even
if incurred as the result of fraudulent or unauthorized use of the
Services. Phoneall Cloud may, but is not obligated to, detect or report
unauthorized or fraudulent use of Services to Customer. Phoneall Cloud
reserves the right to restrict, suspend or discontinue providing any
Service in the event of fraudulent use by Customer.
ARTICLE 4. TERM
4.1 Agreement Term. This Agreement shall terminate upon the
expiration or other termination of the final existing Service Order
entered into under this Agreement. The term of a Service Order shall
commence on the Service Commencement Date and shall terminate
at the end of the stated Service Term of such Service. Unless
otherwise stated in these terms and conditions, if a Service Order
does not specify a term of service, the Service Term shall be one (1)
year from the Service Commencement Date.
4.2 Service Order Renewal. Upon the expiration of the Service Term,
this Agreement and each applicable Service Order shall
automatically renew for successive periods of one (1) year each
("Renewal Term(s)"), unless otherwise stated in these terms and
conditions or prior notice of non-renewal is delivered by either Party
to the other at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the
Service Term or the then current Renewal Term, or in the case of
Louisiana Customers, notice of non-renewal is delivered to Phoneall Cloud
within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Service Term
or the then current Renewal Term. Except as otherwise identified in
the Agreement, at any time during initial Service Term and from
time to time thereafter, Phoneall Cloud may increase the charges for Voice
Services subject to thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer.
Effective at any time after the end of the initial Service Term and
from time to time thereafter, Phoneall Cloud may modify the charges for
Internet Services subject to thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer.
Customer will have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to
cancel the applicable Service without further liability. Should
1
V. 1 Effective FEB 07 2012
Customer fail to cancel within this timeframe, Customer will be
deemed to have accepted the modified Service pricing.
ARTICLE 5. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT AND/OR A SALES ORDER
5.1 Termination for Convenience. Notwithstanding any other term
or provision in this Agreement, Customer shall have the right to
terminate a Service Order, or this Agreement in whole or part, at
any time during the Service Term upon sixty (60) days prior notice to
Phoneall Cloud, and subject to payment to Phoneall Cloud of all outstanding
amounts due for the Services, any and all applicable Termination
Charges, and the return of any and all Phoneall Cloud Equipment.
5.2 Termination for Cause.
(a) If Customer is in breach of a payment obligation (including failure
to pay a required deposit), and fails to make payment in full within
ten (10) days after receipt of notice of default, or has failed to make
payments of all undisputed charges on or before the due date on
three (3) or more occasions during any twelve (12) month period,
Phoneall Cloud may, at its option, terminate this Agreement, terminate
the affected Service Orders, suspend Service under the affected
Service Orders, and/or require a deposit, advance payment, or other
satisfactory assurances in connection with any or all Service Orders
as a condition of continuing to provide the Services. However,
Phoneall Cloud will not take any such action as a result of Customer’s non-
payment of a charge that is the subject of a timely billing dispute,
unless the parties have reviewed the dispute and determined in
good faith that the charge is correct.
(b) If either party breaches any material term of this Agreement and
the breach continues without remedy for thirty (30) days after
notice of default, the non-defaulting party may terminate for cause
any Service Order materially affected by the breach.
(c) A Service Order may be terminated by either party immediately
upon notice if the other party has become insolvent or involved in
liquidation or termination of its business, or adjudicated bankrupt,
or been involved in an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.
(d) Termination by either party of a Service Order does not waive
any other rights or remedies that it may have under this Agreement.
5.3 Effect of Expiration or Termination of the Agreement or a
Service Order. Upon the expiration or termination of a Service Order
for any reason: (i) Phoneall Cloud may disconnect the applicable Service;
(ii) Phoneall Cloud may delete all applicable data, files, electronic
messages, voicemail or other information stored on Phoneall Cloud’s
servers or systems; (iii) if Customer has terminated the Service Order
prior to the expiration of the Service Term for convenience, or if
Phoneall Cloud has terminated the Service Order prior to the expiration of
the Service Term as a result of material breach by Customer,
Phoneall Cloud may assess and collect from Customer applicable
Termination Charges; (iv) Customer shall, permit Phoneall Cloud access to
retrieve from the applicable Service Locations any and all Phoneall Cloud
Equipment (however, if Customer fails to permit access, or if the
retrieved Phoneall Cloud Equipment has been damaged and/or destroyed
other than by Phoneall Cloud or its agents, normal wear and tear
excepted, Phoneall Cloud may invoice Customer for the full replacement
cost of the relevant Phoneall Cloud Equipment, or in the event of minor
damage to the retrieved Phoneall Cloud Equipment, the cost of repair,
which amounts shall be immediately due and payable); and (v) if
used in conjunction with the terminated Service, Customer’s right to
use applicable Licensed Software shall automatically terminate, and
Customer shall be obligated to return the Licensed Software to
Phoneall Cloud.
5.4 Regulatory and Legal Changes. The parties acknowledge that the
respective rights and obligations of each party as set forth in this
Agreement upon its execution are based on law and the regulatory
environment as it exists on the date of execution of this Agreement.
Phoneall Cloud may, in its sole discretion, immediately terminate this
Agreement, in whole or in part, in the event there is a material
change in any law, rule, regulation, Force Majeure event, or
judgment of any court or government agency, and that change
affects Phoneall Cloud’s ability to provide the Services herein.

understanding of the parties related to the subject matter hereof.
The Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, proposals,
representations, statements, or understandings, whether written or
oral, concerning the Services or the parties’ rights or obligations
relating to the Services. Any prior representations, promises,
inducements, or statements of intent regarding the Services that are
not expressly provided for in this Agreement are of no effect. Terms
or conditions contained in any purchase order, or restrictive
endorsements or other statements on any form of payment, shall be
void and of no force or effect. Only specifically authorized
representatives of Phoneall Cloud may make modifications to this

is executed in writing by authorized representatives of both parties.
13.6 Tariffs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Agreement, Phoneall Cloud may elect or be required to file tariffs with
regulatory agencies for certain Services. In such event, the terms set
forth in the Agreement may, under applicable law, be superseded by
the terms and conditions of the Tariffs. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, in the event of any inconsistency with
respect to rates, the rates and other terms set forth in the applicable
Sales Order shall be treated as individual case based arrangements
to the maximum extent permitted by law, and Phoneall Cloud shall take
such steps as are required by law to make the rates and other terms
enforceable. If Phoneall Cloud voluntarily or involuntarily cancels or
withdraws a Tariff under which a Service is provided to Customer,
the Service will thereafter be provided pursuant to the Agreement
and the terms and conditions contained in the Tariff immediately
prior to its cancellation or withdrawal. In the event that Phoneall Cloud is
required by a governmental authority to modify a Tariff under which
Service is provided to Customer in a manner that is material and
adverse to either party, the affected party may terminate the
applicable Sales Order upon a minimum thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice to the other party, without further liability.
13.7 Construction. In the event that any portion of this Agreement is
held to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall replace the
invalid or unenforceable portion with another provision that, as
nearly as possible, reflects the original intention of the parties, and
the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
13.8 Survival. The rights and obligations of either party that by their
nature would continue beyond the expiration or termination of this
Agreement or any Service Order, including without limitation
representations and warranties, indemnifications, and limitations of
liability, shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement or
any Service Order.
13.9 Choice of Law. The domestic law of the state Wyoming shall
govern the construction, interpretation, and performance of this
Agreement, except to the extent superseded by federal law.
13.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not
expressly or implicitly provide any third party (including users) with
any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action, or
other right or privilege.
13.11 No Waiver. No failure by either party to enforce any rights
hereunder shall constitute a waiver of such right(s).
13.12 Independent Contractors. The Parties to this Agreement are
independent contractors. Neither Party is an agent, representative,
or partner of the other Party. Neither Party shall have any right,
power, or authority to enter into any agreement for, or on behalf of,
or incur any obligation or liability of, or to otherwise bind, the other
Party. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed to
create an association, agency, joint venture, or partnership between
the Parties or to impose any liability attributable to such a
relationship upon either Party.
13.13 Article Headings. The article headings used herein are for
reference only and shall not limit or control any term or provision of
this Agreement or the interpretation or construction thereof.

commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the registration of the

the extent that Customer provides Phoneall Cloud with all necessary

------------------------------------------------------------
ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO VOICE SERVICES AND
HOSPITALITY VOICE SERVICES
In addition to provisions 1 THROUGH 13 above, the following
Articles 16 through 20 are specifically applicable to Voice Services.
ARTICLE 16: USAGE BILLING
16.1 Voice Service calling plans billed as a flat monthly fee may not
include certain call types. These excluded call types will instead be
1
V. 1 Effective FEB 07 2012
charged on a per-call basis (e.g., operator services) or a measured
basis (e.g., international calls). Generally, for billing purposes, a
measured call begins when the call is answered by the called party
or an automated answering device (such as an answering machine
or fax machine); it ends when one of the parties disconnects the call.
16.2 Except as otherwise provided in these General Terms and
Conditions, Voice Service measured calls are recorded in whole
minutes, with partial minutes rounded up to the next whole minute.
If the computed charge for a measured call or for taxes or
surcharges includes a fraction of a cent, the fraction is rounded up to
the nearest whole cent.
16.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
some providers (e.g., those involved in calls to foreign countries)
charge for a completed call when the called party’s line rings or after
a certain number of rings. If such a provider charges Phoneall Cloud or its
Associated Parties, as if such a call were answered by the called
party, Phoneall Cloud will charge Customer for a completed call. Voice
Service, including Hospitality Voice Service, pricing lists and fees can
be found at https://phoneall.net/phoneall-cloud.
ARTICLE 17: USE POLICY
17.1 Additional Use Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in
the General Terms and Conditions, Voice Service may only be used
at Service Location(s) where such service is installed by Phoneall Cloud.
Customer understands and acknowledges that if Customer attempts
to install or use the Phoneall Cloud Equipment or Voice Service at another
location, Voice Service, including but not limited to 911/E911, may
fail to function or may function improperly. It will be considered a
material violation of this Agreement if Customer moves Voice
Service to another location without first notifying Phoneall Cloud.
Customer expressly agrees not to use Voice Service for auto-dialing,
continuous or extensive call forwarding, telemarketing, fax
broadcasting or fax blasting, or for any other use that results in
excessive usage inconsistent with standard commercial calling
patterns. If Phoneall Cloud determines, in its sole discretion, that
Customer’s use of Voice Service is excessive or in violation of this
Agreement, Phoneall Cloud reserves the right, among other things, to
terminate or modify Voice Service immediately and without notice.
ARTICLE 17A: SERVICE LIMITATION
17A.1 Disruption of Service. Customer acknowledges and
understands that Voice Service will not be available for use under
certain circumstances, including without limitation when the
network or facilities are not operating or if normal electrical power
to the MTA, ATA or ALG is interrupted and such equipment does not
have a functioning backup. Customer also understands and
acknowledges that the performance of the battery backup is not
guaranteed. If the battery backup does not provide power, Voice
Services will not function until normal power is restored. Customer
also understands that certain online features of Voice Service, where
such features are available, will not be available under certain
circumstances, including but not limited to the interruption of the
Internet connection.
17A.2 Provision of Service. Subject to the terms and conditions
herein, Voice Services are intended for commercial use only.
ARTICLE 18: LIMITATIONS OF 911/E911
18.1 Limitations. Voice Services includes a 911/ Enhanced 911
function ("911/E911") that may differ from the 911 or Enhanced 911
function furnished by other providers. As such, it may have certain
limitations. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND ACCEPTS ANY
LIMITATIONS OF 911/E911.
18.2 Correct Address. In order for Customer’s 911/E911 calls to be
properly directed to emergency services, Phoneall Cloud must have
Customer’s correct Service Location address. If Customer moves
Voice Service to a different Service Location without Phoneall Cloud’s
approval, 911/E911 calls may be directed to the wrong emergency
authority, may transmit the wrong Service Location address, and/or
Voice Service (including 911/E911) may fail altogether. Therefore,
Customer must contact Phoneall Cloud at least five (5) days before moving
Voice Service to a new Service Location. All changes in Service
Location require Phoneall Cloud’s prior approval.
18.3 Service Interruptions. Customer acknowledges and
understands that certain Voice Service uses the electrical power in
Customer’s Service Location. If there is an electrical power outage,
911 calling may be interrupted if the battery backup in the
associated MTA, ALA or ALG is not installed, fails, or is exhausted
after several hours. Furthermore, calls, including calls to 911/E911,
may not be completed if Customer exceeds its Voice Service and
equipment configuration calling capacity or if there is a problem
with network facilities, including network congestion,
network/equipment/power failure, or another technical problem.
18.4 Suspension and Termination by Phoneall Cloud. Customer
understands and acknowledges that Voice Service, including
911/E911, as well as all online features of Voice Service, where
Phoneall Cloud make these features available, will be disabled if
Customer’s account is suspended or terminated.
18.5 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION. CUSTOMER
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER Phoneall Cloud NOR ITS
ASSOCIATED PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY VOICE SERVICE
OUTAGE, INABILITY TO DIAL 911 USING THE SERVICES, AND/OR
INABILITY TO ACCESS EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL. CUSTOMER
AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS Phoneall Cloud
AND ITS ASSOCIATED PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES,
DAMAGES, FINES, PENALTIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING
1
V. 1 Effective FEB 07 2012
BUT NOT LIMITED TO REASONABLE ATTORNEY FEES) BY, OR ON
BEHALF OF, CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY OR USER OF THE
VOICE SERVICES RELATING TO THE FAILURE OR OUTAGE OF THE
SERVICES, INCLUDING THOSE RELATED TO 911/E911.
ARTICLE 19: VOICE EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
19.1 MTA. To use Voice Service, Customer will need a multimedia
terminal adapter ("MTA"), application layer gateway ("ALG"), analog
telephone adapter ("ATA") or other adapter device. Customer can
lease an MTA from Phoneall Cloud, in which case it will be Phoneall Cloud
Equipment. Or, in some areas, Phoneall Cloud may permit Customer to use
Voice Service with an MTA that Customer has purchased, in which
case the MTA will be Customer Equipment. Customer agrees to keep
the MTA plugged into a working electrical power outlet at all times.
19.2 Incompatible Equipment and Services. Customer
acknowledges and understands Voice Service may not support or be
compatible with:

MTAs, ATAs or ALGs not currently certified by Phoneall Cloud as

machines, and traditional Caller ID units;

calling;
(e) 311, 511, or other x11 calling (other than 411 and 911); and
(f) Other call types not expressly set forth in Phoneall Cloud’s product
literature (e.g., outbound shore-to-ship calling).
ARTICLE 20: ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON Phoneall Cloud’S LIABILITY
FOR VOICE SERVICE
20.1 Limitations on Phoneall Cloud’s Liability for Directories and
Directory Assistance for Voice Service Customers. THESE
LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY WHERE Phoneall Cloud MAKES AVAILABLE AN
OPTION TO LIST CUSTOMER’S NAME, ADDRESS, AND/OR
TELEPHONE NUMBER IN A PUBLISHED DIRECTORY OR DIRECTORY
ASSISTANCE DATABASE, AND ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
CONDITIONS OCCURS: (i) CUSTOMER REQUESTS THAT CUSTOMER’S
NAME, ADDRESS AND/OR PHONE NUMBER BE OMITTED FROM A
DIRECTORY OR DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE DATABASE, BUT THAT
INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN EITHER OR BOTH; (ii) CUSTOMER
REQUESTS THAT CUSTOMER’S NAME, ADDRESS AND/OR PHONE
NUMBER BE INCLUDED IN A DIRECTORY OR DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE
DATABASE, BUT THAT INFORMATION IS OMITTED FROM EITHER OR
BOTH; OR (iii) THE PUBLISHED OR LISTED INFORMATION FOR
CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT CONTAINS MATERIAL ERRORS OR
OMISSIONS. IF ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS PERTAIN, THEN THE
AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF Phoneall Cloud AND ITS ASSOCIATED PARTIES
SHALL NOT EXCEED THE MONTHLY CHARGES, IF ANY, WHICH
CUSTOMER HAS ACTUALLY PAID TO Phoneall Cloud TO LIST, PUBLISH, NOT
LIST, OR NOT PUBLISH THE INFORMATION FOR THE AFFECTED
PERIOD. CUSTOMER SHALL HOLD HARMLESS Phoneall Cloud AND ITS
ASSOCIATED PARTIES AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES
CAUSED OR CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED, DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, BY THE ERRORS AND OMISSIONS REFERENCED ABOVE.
FURTHERMORE, IF Phoneall Cloud MAKES AVAILABLE DIRECTORY
ADVERTISING SERVICES, NEITHER Phoneall Cloud NOR ANY OF ITS
ASSOCIATED PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTS, ERRORS, OR
OMISSIONS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECTORY ADVERTISING.
20.2 CUSTOMER INFORMATION. Phoneall Cloud and its suppliers reserve
the right both during the term of this Agreement and upon its
termination to delete Customer’s voicemail, call detail, data, files, or
other information that is stored on Phoneall Cloud’s or its suppliers’
servers or systems, in accordance with our storage policies.
Customer understands and acknowledges that Phoneall Cloud shall have
no liability whatsoever as a result of the loss or removal of any such
voicemail, call detail, data, files, or other information.

ARTICLE 20B: ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO TRUNK SERVICES
In addition to provisions 1 THROUGH 13 and Articles 17, 19 AND 20
above, the following Article 20B is specifically applicable to Trunk
Services offered by Phoneall Cloud:
20B.1 Limitation. Subject to service availability, Customer may order
Trunk Services. Trunk Services are not intended for residential use.
20B.2 911 Notice for Trunk Services. Customer expressly
acknowledges and agrees that it has reviewed, understands, and
agrees to the terms set forth below.
(a) Customer action is essential to the protection of its employees
and other users of the Trunk Services, as described below. Multi-
line telephone systems, such as PBX systems, ordinarily only
transmit the same, generic location information for all 911 calls
placed from any handset connected to the PBX or other system. For
example, in the case of a business with telephone extensions in
three buildings and multiple floors in each building, the E911 call
taker would only see the same main telephone number and location
that the customer has identified, regardless of which station was
used to place the call. If Customer does not take action as described
below, fire, police and other emergency responders may be
delayed or even prevented from timely reaching its location in
response to a 911 call.
(b) Phoneall Cloud offers the opportunity for Customers to designate up to
ten different zones within their premises that would be separately
identified to the E911 call taker, such as a specific floor, side of a
building, or other identifying information that could assist
emergency responders to more quickly reach the appropriate
location. To utilize this option, Customer must in the initial or a
subsequent Service Order request the assignment of Emergency
Location Information numbers and provide location information for
each zone exactly as it should appear to the 911 call taker. For each
zone requested, up to ten, Customer will receive a phone number
that Phoneall Cloud will register in the 911 database or databases with the
specific location information provided by Customer. Customer is
solely responsible for programming its telephone system to map
each station to one of these numbers, and for updating the system
as necessary to reflect moves or additions of stations within the
premises.
(c) Many states now require businesses using multi-line telephone
systems to program their systems to transmit specific location
information for 911 calls. Customer acknowledges and understands
that it, and not Phoneall Cloud, bears sole responsibility to ensure that it
identifies and complies with all such applicable laws, and any failure
to do so is a breach of the Agreement. Customer represents,
warrants and covenants that it will utilize the Phoneall Cloud Emergency
Location Information numbers described above at least to the
extent required by law, and that Customer does not require the use
of more than ten different location identifiers or other features not
currently offered under this Agreement in order to comply with
applicable laws. Customer also warrants that it does not currently
have "Private Switch/Automatic Location Identification" service in
connection with its existing telephone service from another provider
at the location(s) for which it has ordered Trunk Services from
Phoneall Cloud.
(d) Phoneall Cloud will post only the main billing telephone number in the
911 database or databases using Customer’s billing address as the
Registered Location, unless Customer requests the assignment of
Emergency Location Information as set forth above. Customer must
notify Phoneall Cloud at least five (5) days prior to moving the Trunk
Service to another location. Customer acknowledges that if they
move prior to providing such notice and a 911 call is placed using the
Trunk Services, or if Customer when using Emergency Location
1
V. 1 Effective FEB 07 2012
Information numbers does not timely update their telephone system
to account for internal moves, adds and changes, the E911 call taker
may see incorrect or incomplete location information and the caller
may need to confirm their actual location information to the call
taker. (e) Some businesses elect to make test calls to 911 from
multiple stations to verify that the 911 call taker receives the desired
location information and is able to call back one or more of the
telephone numbers that they receive to confirm it rings to the
station from which the 911 call was placed. If Customer chooses to
do so, it agrees to obtain prior approval from the relevant
emergency communications center and assumes all responsibility
for the placement of such calls.
20B.3 Recommended Battery Back-Up is NOT Included
Customer acknowledges and understands that the Trunk Services
use the electrical power from the Service Location. Customer
understands and acknowledges that they may lose access to and use
of the Trunk Services, including 911/E911, if electrical power to the
Integrated Access Device (IAD), PBX switch, and/or handsets is
interrupted and such devices are not supported by a working battery
backup. Customer also understands and acknowledges that
Phoneall Cloud does not provide a battery backup for such devices and
Customer is urged to arrange for their own backup power supply to
these devices. In the event of a power outage, the duration of Trunk
Service during a power outage using the Phoneall Cloud Equipment
installed to provide Trunk Service will depend on Customer’s backup
power choice. If the IAD is disconnected or removed and/or a
battery is not charged, Trunk Service, including access to 911, will
not be available. Customer acknowledges and agrees that in the
event of a power failure, Phoneall Cloud bears no responsibility for such
loss of service.
20B.4 Customer Responsibility for Telephone Equipment
(a) Customer is solely responsible for providing and maintaining
working PBX equipment and handsets (Customer- Provided
Equipment), notifying and training its users regarding proper use of
the system in accordance with applicable, including regulatory,
requirements, and for any programming to its telephone system
that may be necessary to enable direct dialing of N11 numbers such
as 911 and to enable calls to be connected to new area codes.
Customer also acknowledges and accepts that Phoneall Cloud does not
support seven- digit local calling even in areas of the country that
still permit that option, and Customer will program its system as
necessary to support ten-digit dialing for local calls.
(b) Phoneall Cloud shall not be responsible to the Customer if changes in
any of the facilities, operations or procedures of Phoneall Cloud utilized in
the provision of Trunk Service render any Customer-Provided
Equipment or other equipment provided by a Customer obsolete or
require modification or alteration of such equipment or system or
otherwise affect its use or performance.
(c) Customer must arrange its Customer-Provided Equipment to
provide for the interception of assigned but unused station
numbers. A call intercepted by the attendant will be considered to
be completed and subject to a charge for the call.
(d) Customer acknowledges and agrees that Trunk Service is not
compatible with alarm and security systems, certain medical
monitoring devices, certain fax machines, and certain "dial-up"
modems. Customer’s attempt to use any such systems in connection
with Trunk Services is solely at its own risk and Phoneall Cloud shall not be
liable for any damages whatsoever for any non-operation or damage
to such services or devices.
20B.5 Trunk Service Charges.
(a) Prices. Trunk Service is subject to the trunk service pricing
identified in the applicable Service Order, and subject to the pricing
lists and fees found at https://phoneall.net/phoneall-cloud.
(b) Billing Increments. Unless otherwise stated in a Service Order,
domestic long distance calls, and in-bound domestic calls to toll-free
numbers associated with Trunk Services will be billed on a per-
minute or per-message basis. Service calls invoiced on a per-minute
basis will have an initial minimum call duration of one (1) minute,
subsequent intervals of one (1) minute each, and will be billed by
rounding to the next whole minute. All other calls will be billed in
accordance with the increments identified in the pricing lists and
fees found at https://phoneall.net/phoneall-cloud. For purposes of this section, "domestic" means
calls within the continental United States.

20B above, the following Article xxx - xxx is specifically applicable

Agreement or in any Proposal, Customer acknowledges and agrees

22. Telephone Number Assignment. Customer shall assign

Rate Center). Customer shall be responsible for all toll or long

local calling area differs from the local calling area of the relevant
ILEC, and including calls that are unauthorized and/or originated by
fraudulent means).
23. Traffic Thresholds. If Customer's traffic is comprised of greater
than twenty percent (20%) of traffic originating from and/or

Customer does not send Phoneall Cloud the correct signaling information
or removes such information, including but not limited to CPN and
ANI, Phoneall Cloud shall be entitled to charge Customer Phoneall Cloud’s
tariffed per minute access charge rates associated with such traffic

option, if Customer does not cooperate with Phoneall Cloud to purchase
such additional PRIs, Phoneall Cloud shall install such PRIs at its
convenience and begin billing Customer for same or will charge
Customer $.02 per minute on each minute of use over the threshold
set forth in this Section. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase
