1.   Operation and Limitations of the CyberLynk 911 Service

 

A.     CyberLynk Provides Access to Emergency Calling Services (911).

CyberLynk provides access to emergency calling services, allowing most CyberLynk Managed Phone Service users to access either basic 911 or Enhanced 911 (E911) service. Your access may differ depending on Your location or the device You are using, and emergency calling services work differently than You may have experienced using traditional wireline or wireless telephones. It is strongly recommended that You have an alternative means for placing emergency calls available at all times.

CyberLynk Managed Phone Service users using IP Desk Phones or 911-Enabled Softphones can dial 911 directly from their IP Desk Phones or 911-Enabled Softphone. EMERGENCY CALLS CANNOT BE PLACED THROUGH SOFTPHONES THAT ARE NOT 911-ENABLED.

B.      How it Works.

When a CyberLynk Managed Phone Service user dials 911 on an IP Desk Phone or 911-Enabled Softphone, the CyberLynk phone number and the Registered Address You have provided is sent to the local emergency center serving Your location. In some areas, emergency operators have access to this information; however, in areas where only basic 911 service is available, the emergency operator answering the call may not be able to see Your CyberLynk telephone number or Your Registered Address. You should always be prepared to provide the emergency operator with Your CyberLynk telephone number and Registered Address in case the call is dropped or disconnected. If You are unable to speak, the emergency operator may not be able to send help to Your


location and/or call You back should the call be disconnected. CyberLynk does not control whether or not the emergency operator receives Your telephone number and Registered Address.

Emergency dialing with Your Managed Phone Service works differently than emergency dialing over traditional phone service. In some cases, 911 calls dialed from Your CyberLynk Managed Phone Service device cannot be directed to the local emergency response center, and are instead directed to a National Emergency Call Center (the NECC ). That might happen if there is a problem validating a Registered Address, if the Registered Address is an international location, or if the Registered Address is in an area that is not covered by the landline 911 network. 911 calls that are directed to the NECC may not include Your CyberLynk telephone number or Your registered address. Trained operators at the NECC will request Your name, location, and telephone number and attempt to reach emergency responders in Your local area. Until You give the operator Your phone number, and location, he/she may not be able to call You back or dispatch help to Your location if the call is dropped or disconnected.

C.     Service limitations.

CyberLynk 911 service will not function in the event of an Internet or power outage, if You do not have cellular service (on the CyberLynk Mobile Application), or if Your broadband, ISP, or CyberLynk Managed Phone Service is terminated. The CyberLynk Mobile Application cannot send emergency calls over Wi-Fi access. It is possible that network congestion may delay or prevent completion of a 911 call. CyberLynk 911 service may not be available if You are dialing from a CyberLynk number that is not a Canadian or United States number.

D.     Registering Your Location.

You agree to register with CyberLynk immediately upon activation of Your Account the address of the physical location where You will use the CyberLynk Managed Phone Service, including each IP Desk Phone and each 911-Enabled Softphone. This is Your Registered Address. You agree that You will accurately register each individual line through the Account Admin Portal or the Customer Portal for the applicable End User. If You or Your End Users move a registered device, You agree to immediately update the Registered Address with the new physical location of the device with CyberLynk through the Admin Portal or in Your account settings. You acknowledge that if You do not update the Registered Address, any 911 calls made from the device may be sent to the wrong emergency response center and will not transmit Your current location information to emergency responders, delaying emergency assistance to You. It may take up to several hours for the address update to take effect. Customers with more than one line or extension are solely responsible for ensuring that an accurate and up-to-date Registered Address is maintained for each IP Desk Phone and each 911-Enabled Softphone, and that their End Users are aware of how the Registered Address can be changed.

E.      Notification of Employees, Guests, or Other Users.

You agree to notify any employees, contractors, guests, or persons who may place calls using the Managed Phone Services or may be present at the physical location where the Managed Phone Services may be used, of the limitations of CyberLynk 911 Service from Your CyberLynk Managed Phone Service IP phone, other equipment or the CyberLynk Softphone. You agree to affix a CyberLynk-provided sticker warning that 911 services may be limited or unavailable in a readily visible place on each piece of equipment that might be used to access or use the Managed Phone Services. You and Your End Users should always have an alternative means for placing 911 calls.

F.   Disclaimer of Liability for Emergency Call Response.

You acknowledge and agree that Your use, and use by Your employees and/or guests or other third parties, of CyberLynk s 911 Services and Text-to-911 Services are subject to the limitations described herein.

The availability of certain features, such as transmission of a Registered Address or Your CyberLynk telephone number, depends on whether local emergency response centers support those features, and are factors outside of CyberLynk s control. CyberLynk relies on third parties to assist us in routing 911 calls to local emergency


response centers and to the NECC. CyberLynk does not have control over local emergency response centers, the NECC, emergency responders, or other third parties. CyberLynk disclaims all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centers, the NECC and all other third parties involved in the provision of emergency response services. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by applicable Law , You hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless CyberLynk from and against any and all liability relating to or arising from any acts or omissions of such third parties or other third parties involved in the handling of or response to any emergency or 911 call. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CyberLynk, and any third-party provider(s) from any and all third party claims, losses, damages, fines, or penalties arising out of: (i) Your provision to CyberLynk of incorrect information, including physical addresses, or Your failure to update Your Registered Address; (ii) Your failure to properly notify any person who may place calls using the Managed Phone Services of the 911 limitations; or (iii) the absence, failure, or outage of emergency service dialing using the Managed Phone Services for any reason; and (iv) the inability of any user of the Managed Phone Services to be able to dial 911 or access emergency service personnel for any reason.

B.      Service Availability

You acknowledge and agree that the products or services, including without limitation the Hosting Services, may not be available one hundred percent (100%) of the time. Credit allowances for interruption of the Hosting Services may only be provided on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of CyberLynk and shall be Your sole remedy for any Hosting Services interruptions or other issues with the Hosting Services.

C.     Plan Credits and Minutes

CyberLynk offers several different plans for its products and services. Some of the plans provide for a fixed number of monthly usage minutes ( Plan Credits ). If You exceed Your monthly Plan Credits during the course of a Service month, You may purchase additional Plan Credits as needed. CyberLynk may also provide You certain bonus credit minutes and/or other promotional incentives (e.g., tell-a-friend credits) upon fulfillment of the applicable promotion requirements. All of the Plan Credits are quoted in terms of domestic minute usage,


and may be referred to on the CyberLynk website or by a CyberLynk Customer service representative as minutes . As explained below, international calling may be charged at a different rate than domestic calling, and a Plan Credit minute therefore will not entitle You to a minute of international calling ( International Minutes ).

D.     Metered Calling Plans

CyberLynk offers several monthly metered plans for some of its products and services. Each metered calling plan provides You with a toll-free or local telephone number and a fixed number of Plan Credits each month for a monthly fee, excluding Taxes, surcharges, and fees. When You exhaust Your initial paid allotment of Plan Credits for Your metered plan, unless You advise CyberLynk otherwise in writing, CyberLynk will automatically bill Your Account for the smallest available bundle of Plan Credits for the applicable service. Additional minute usage will be debited at the applicable per minute rate(s) for Your metered plan. However, in some limited instances, calls placed under a metered plan may not be counted against Your monthly allotment (e.g., calls made via a local phone number to leave or check voicemail or configure a system and calls answered on the CyberLynk Softphone). Please check the details of Your metered plan to determine which calls (if any) are not counted against Your monthly minute allotment. For international calling, international rates will apply.

E.      Unlimited Plan

CyberLynk offers unlimited monthly plans for some of its products and services. An unlimited plan provides You with a local or toll-free telephone number and is subject to the terms and restrictions of these TOS. If, for any reason, CyberLynk believes that Your usage of the unlimited plan and services violates these TOS, then CyberLynk may, in its sole discretion with or without notice, either terminate Your unlimited plan or immediately convert Your unlimited plan to a metered plan, as set forth above.

F.   Value, Ownership, and Expiration of Credits or Minutes

In no event shall any Toll-Free Minute , International Minute Credit, Billing Credit, Plan Credit, or any other type of credit or minute issued to You or applied to an Account have any monetary value or be exchangeable or exchanged for cash. Account Credits may be applied to only the Account for which they were purchased and/or provided, and may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or applied to any other Account, account, plan, or customer. Credited Toll-Free Minutes not applied to Usage of the applicable Account during the monthly billing cycle for which they are credited shall expire at the end of such cycle and shall in no event be available for application to Usage occurring during (or roll over to) any other period. Other Account Credits shall expire according to the terms of their purchase or provision.

G.     Discounts

From time to time in its sole discretion, CyberLynk may offer promotions or discounts. Any promotion or discount codes must be provided to CyberLynk upon purchase of the Hosting Services. You are not entitled to a subsequent credit for any promotions or discounts if You do not request the promotion or discount credit at the time of Account creation or change of service. Promotions and/or discounts may not be used cumulatively or retroactively.

C.     Billing for Mid-Year Transactions

In the event that any purchase, transaction, or event involving or resulting in an annually-incurred Hosting Services Amount occurs subsequent to the beginning of an annual billing cycle, CyberLynk may at that time bill You a pro-rated amount for the remainder of the then-current cycle and thereafter bill You conterminously with each subsequent cycle.

D.     Late Fees

You agree and acknowledge that time is of the essence for payment of all fees and charges. Any fees or charges not paid when due shall incur interest at a rate of the lesser of: (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum; or (ii) the highest rate allowed by Law. CyberLynk s acceptance of late or partial payments (regardless of how they are marked or designated (including without limitation as Paid in Full, Accord and Satisfaction, or similarly)) shall not waive, limit, or prejudice in any way CyberLynk s rights to collect any amount due. CyberLynk may terminate the Hosting Services these TOS for non-payment if any fees or charges are not paid within thirty (30) days of the due date.

E.      Form of Payment

All fees and charges are payable to CyberLynk by credit or debit card. You agree to be liable for a processing fee in the amount of the lesser of: (i) fifty dollars ($50.00); or (ii) the highest amount allowed by Law for any credit card chargeback or check or other payment returned for nonpayment.


When You subscribe to Hosting Services, You will provide us with a payment method, such as a valid credit card or information for invoicing (if You are pre-approved by CyberLynk in its sole discretion to be billed via invoice), and, if applicable, authorize us to collect from the payment method provided. Any authorization to charge a provided credit card will remain valid until thirty (30) days after You withdraw the authorization, or immediately upon provision of a replacement valid credit card.

You agree to advise and notify us of any changes to Your payment method, such as credit card account number or expiration date changes. If the credit card or other payment method on Your Account is declined or fails for any reason, CyberLynk will use reasonable efforts to contact You and advise You of the failed billing attempts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, CyberLynk reserves the right to disconnect Your Service and terminate Your Account if Your payment method is declined or fails for any reason, or if You withdraw authorization to charge a valid credit and do not provide an alternative payment method, and CyberLynk reserves the right to continue to attempt charging Your credit card for any outstanding Service charges and additional fees and pursue any other legal remedies available to CyberLynk.

F.   Disputed Amounts

You will waive the right to dispute any billed amount if You do not dispute such amount within thirty (30) days of the date of its billing. In the event that You timely dispute a billed amount and CyberLynk confirms that You were over-billed, CyberLynk shall credit the applicable Account in the amount of the over-billing ( Billing Credits ). Billing Credits shall be CyberLynk s sole and exclusive obligation and Your sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any erroneous billing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if You request that Your bank or credit card company perform a chargeback or decline to process a check without first contacting CyberLynk to dispute the charge, and CyberLynk subsequently determines that the charges at issue are not erroneous, CyberLynk reserves the right to terminate Your Account immediately and take any available legal action.
