1. DEFINITIONS
Some definitions are provided here. Others are provided in the parts of these Terms and Condi- tions where they are first used.
1.1 “Complete Agreement” is the overall agreement of the Parties regarding the provision of Ser- vices. The Complete Agreement is, formed by these Terms and Conditions and any other appli- cable documents, including any Service Agreement, as described more fully in Paragraph 2 below.

1.3 “Service Agreement” means a shorter document that may or may not be physically or electron- ically signed by the Customer that describes particular Service(s) being provided. Where a Service Agreement exists, it is part of the Complete Agreement that also includes these Terms and Condi- tions (“Terms”) and any other applicable documents described in Paragraph 2 below.
1.4 “SIP” or “sip” means Session Initiation Protocol, a format for the transmission of data includ- ing voice embedded in data. “SIP-aware device” or “sip-aware device” means a communications device capable of communicating utilizing SIP.
1.5 “Software” means any computer program or code, software application, and/or any other soft- ware provided by SET to Customer pursuant to this Agreement.
2. PRIORITY OF RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS / MULTIPLE
DOCUMENTS GOVERNING RELATIONSHIP
2.1 These Terms incorporate by reference the following documents, listed from highest to lowest priority, by which you agree to be bound, and which together make up your Complete Agreement with us:
2.1.1 Written Contract. Any written contract document (such as a Services Agreement) that is (i) signed by both you and SET or (ii) signed by you without changes after being presented to you by SET, and that is in force and applicable to the Services provided to you during the relevant time frame (“Written Contracts”). Note that some Written Contracts may provide for amendment by means (including website posting) other than by a contract amendment signed by you.
2.1.2 Filed Tariffs. Any applicable tariffs filed with the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) or the relevant state public service commission (“Filed Tariffs”). However, in any situation in which applicable law compels that Filed Tariffs be given priority over Written Contracts, Filed Tariffs shall have that higher priority. Note that Filed Tariffs may be amended by us without notice to you, although they are publically available for inspection at the office of the applicable regulator, and are usually available online.
2.1.3 Website Terms. Any tariffs, price lists, service descriptions, and/or terms and conditions posted on the Service Electric Telephone website (collectively “Website Terms”.) SET’s website is www.setelephone.com. Note that Website Terms, including pricing, may be amended without notice to you, although they are available for inspection at SET’s website. If posted on the website, these Terms and Conditions you are now reading are Website Terms.
2.1.4 Internet Click-Through Agreement. Any relevant Internet click-through agreement.
2.1.5 Non-Website Terms. Any terms and conditions statements, service orders or product/ser- vice descriptions or other documentation supplied to you that are not in the form of a written con- tract and are not posted on the SET website (“Non-Website Terms”).
2.1.6 Pricing on Invoices. If no document listed above supplies applicable pricing, the pricing stated on invoices you have paid without objection shall be deemed correct.
2.2 Conflicts Between Documents. In the event of a conflict between a document of higher prior- ity and a document of lower priority, the document with higher priority shall control as the issue on which a conflict exists. Documents with lower priority will supply supplementary terms on issues in which there is not a conflict.
In the event of a conflict between two applicable documents of equal priority, the document most specific to the Service or product in question shall control as to the issue on which there is a con- flict, and the less specific document will supply supplementary terms on issues on which there is no conflict.
2.3 Multiple Documents Supplying Complementary Terms. Multiple documents may govern a service relationship. For example, one document may supply pricing and service-specific terms
and another document may supply general terms and conditions. Documents that relate only to Services you are not purchasing shall not apply to you.
2.4 Expiration of Written Contract. If a Written Contract expires, but service continues on an in- formal basis, the Written Contract shall no longer automatically have priority over Filed Tariffs and Website Terms, but if the parties continue to do business in conformity with the terms of the ex- pired Written Contract without objection, the terms of the Written Contract shall continue to have such priority until such time as a party actually asserts in writing pricing or other terms that conflict with Filed Tariffs or Website Terms. As an example, SET may assert conflicting terms by invoicing Customer (by electronic or paper invoice) at pricing different from that in the expired Written Con- tract.
2.5 Priority of These Terms / Posting of These Terms on SET’s Website. In resolving any conflicts among documents making up the Complete Agreement, these Terms you are now reading are Website Terms if posted on SET’s website and Non-Website Terms if not posted on SET’s website, but supplied to you by some other means. Terms that are posted on an SET Website and also supplied to you by other means are Website Terms, and, like any other Website Terms, may later be amended by SET by posting on an SET website (See “Changes to These Terms and Conditions” below), without need to give you additional notice or supply the amendment to you by other means.
3. SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT
3.1 Provision of Services and Equipment by SET. SET shall provide the Services to Customer as set forth in these Terms and Conditions, along with any other documents comprising the Complete Agreement with Customer. SET’s obligations are expressly conditioned upon Customer’s providing (or, if necessary, obtaining from its landlord) permission granting SET and/or its designated agents, contractors or representatives access to the building phone room and roof areas as necessary in SET’s judgment to deliver the Services and to install and maintain equipment.
3.2 Required Equipment. Customer understands and agrees that the Service requires certain equipment provided by Customer such as a sip aware access device, personal computer, an Eth- ernet card and an appropriate operating system (the “Customer equipment”), as well as certain equipment provided by SET such as the Software, an edge access device, an IP phone or SIP gateway (the “SET equipment”). Customer represents that it owns the Customer Equipment or otherwise has the right to use such equipment in connection with the Service.
3.3 Access to Customer’s Premises. Customer authorizes SET and its employees, agents, con- tractors and representatives to enter Customer’s premises (the “Premises”) to install, maintain, inspect, alter, repair and remove the SET equipment. All such services shall be conducted at a
time agreed to with Customer. If Customer is not the owner of the Premises, upon SET’s request Customer shall supply SET with the owner’s name and address, evidence that the Customer is authorized to grant access to the Premises on the owner’s behalf, and (if needed) written consent from the owner of the Premises. Customer also grants its consent to SET to contact such owner for the purpose of entering into one or more Right of Access and/or Site Lease(s). If Customer does not provide access as provided herein, SET shall, at its option, a) declare the full amount for the entire term due and payable immediately, or b) elect to terminate this agreement.
3.4 Ownership of Equipment. All SET Equipment and Software shall at all times remain the prop- erty of SET or its designee. Customer may not sell, transfer, lease, encumber or assign all or part of the SET Equipment or Software, nor shall Customer relocate the SET Equipment outside the Premises. Customer shall pay to SET the full manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the replace- ment of any lost, stolen, unreturned, damaged, sold, transferred, leased, encumbered or assigned SET Equipment or part thereof, together with any incidental costs incurred by SET relating to the replacement of the SET Equipment. Customer hereby authorizes SET to charge Customer’s Visa, MasterCard, or other credit card for any such charges. SET may, at its option, install new or recon- ditioned SET Equipment.
3.5 Back-up Requirements; Limitation of Liability for Loss of Data. The installation, use, inspection, alteration, maintenance, repair or removal of the SET Equipment and software may result in ser- vice outage or potential damage to Customer Equipment. Customer agrees to take all reasonable steps to back-up all existing computer files by copying them to another storage medium prior to such activities , In any event, Customer understands and accepts that SET SHALL HAVE NO LIA- BILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF THE CUSTOMER’S EQUIPMENT, PERIPHERALS, SOFTWARE OR DATA, WHETHER OR NOT SET OR ITS AGENTS ARE AT FAULT.
3.6 Non-Recommended Configuration; SET may inform Customer of the recommended minimum computer hardware and software requirements, if any, (the “Minimum Requirements”) for efficient- ly operating the Service(s). If Customer allows the installation of the Service utilizing software or hardware that does not meet the Minimum Requirements (a “Non-recommended Configuration”), the availability of services may be impacted, and Customer agrees that it shall not be entitled to Customer support relating to any issues other than the quality of the signal delivered to Customer’s IP phone or SIP gateway.
4. INSTALLATION AND SOFTWARE LICENSES
4.1 Installation Process; SET and or its agents may, from time to time, supply SET hardware/soft- ware to be installed within the customer premise as requested to deliver the service. Costs asso- ciated for the installation of services by SET and or its agents shall be as set forth in the Complete
Agreement, including any additional agreements or addendums agreed to by the parties. Cus- tomer may choose to self-install the software, hardware and services at customer’s own risk and expense. SET Technical and Trouble Support for customer self-installed Equipment, Software, or Services will be charged at the current prevailing wage for those services.
4.2 File Modification. As part of the installation process, system files on Customer’s computer may be modified. SET does not represent, warrant or covenant that such modifications will not disrupt the normal operations of Customer’s computer. For these and other reasons, SET rec- ommends, and Customer agrees, that Customer will back-up all files in accordance with Section 3.5 above prior to installation of the Service. If Customer does not back-up all existing computer files prior to installation, Customer’s chances of losing data are increased. SET SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE ABOVE OR OTHER FILE MODIFICATIONS.
4.3 Software.
4.3.1 Non-exclusive License. If Software is provided by SET, SET grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive license to use the Software, in object code form only, solely for the purpose of con- necting Customer’s computer(s) or sip aware device to the Service. This license will permit such use by Customer and any person authorized by Customer to use the Service, provided that Cus- tomer shall be responsible for all uses of the Service as provided in this Agreement. This license will commence upon SET’s acceptance of Customer’s subscription for the Service and will termi- nate immediately upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. Customer will destroy all Software and any related written material, together with any copies, promptly upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.
4.3.2 Copies. Customer may make a single copy of the Software solely for back-up purposes, pro- vided that such copy contains the same copyright notices and proprietary markings as the original Software. Customer cannot engage in, nor permit, any other copying, or any translation, reverse engineering or reverse compiling, disassembly or modification of or preparation of any derivative works based on the Software, all of which are prohibited.
4.3.3 End User Licenses. Customer agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of all end user license agreements accompanying any software or plug-ins to such software distributed in connection with the Service. All end user licenses shall immediately terminate on the date that the Service expires or is otherwise terminated.
5.PAYMENT
5.1 Fixed Monthly Service Fees. The cost for Services requiring a fixed monthly fee shall be as
stated in the Service Agreement and shall be payable monthly, in advance, plus all applicable taxes, tariffs, governmental assessments, surcharges and fees (collectively, the “Fixed Service Fee(s)”). The Fixed Service Fee for the first month of Service shall be due and payable prior to installation of Service and if commencement of Service occurs on other than the first calendar day of the month then the Fixed Service Fee will be prorated by the number of calendar days remaining in the month. Thereafter, the Fixed Service Fee is due and payable in advance on the first day of each month and shall be considered late if not received by SET by the tenth calendar day of each month. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term or Agreed Renewal Term, Fixed Service Fees are subject to change by SET in the same manner as Variable Monthly Usage Fees as discussed below.
5.2 Variable Monthly Usage Fees. The cost for Services based on the usage by Customer and other variable factors shall be computed at the rates stated in the Service Agreement and shall be payable monthly, using a cut-off date selected by SET, in arrears, plus all applicable taxes, tariffs, governmental assessments, surcharges and fees (collectively, the “Usage Fee(s)”). The Services Agreement or other Written Contract Document shall be referenced to determine which rates are subject to change during the Initial Term or an Agreed Renewal Term (see Paragraph 8). If the Services Agreement or other Written Contract does not specify whether a rate is subject to change during the Initial Term or Agreed Renewal Term, rates for domestic voice services (“Domes- tic Rates”) set forth in the Service Agreement shall be valid for the Initial Term or Agreed Renewal Term, but rates for international services (“International Rates”) are subject to change at any time by SET without prior notice, and SET may, at its discretion, choose to adjust the rates for voice services to include the cost, if any, of tariffs, taxes or assessments as imposed upon SET by any governmental agency (“Government Fees”). A statement in the Service Agreement or other Writ- ten Contract that “all rates” are valid for the duration of the contract (or equivalent language) shall be construed to refer only to Domestic Rates other than Government Fees, unless there is also express language stating that International Rates or Government Fees shall not change. When (a) the Initial Term or Agreed Renewal Term expires, (b) a particular rate is subject to change during the Initial Term or Agreed Renewal Term, or (c) the Services Agreement or other Written Contract does not specify a particular rate, SET may change rates by posting to the SET website (without further notice to Customer) or by notifying Customer through some other means, in accordance with Para- graph 16. When the Initial Term or Agreed Renewal Term expires, any rate changes that did not take effect during the Initial Term or Agreed Renewal Term shall become effective. All Usage Fees are due and payable on the first day of the month billed and shall be considered late if not received by SET by the tenth calendar day of such month. Subject to the foregoing, rate changes become effective immediately and are posted on the SET website located at www.setelephone.com.
5.3 Installation Charge and Security Deposit. Charges for any hardware, software, installation, etc., shall be as stated in the Service Agreement as a Non-Recurring Charges “NRC” and shall be due and payable upon ordering the service. An equipment deposit for SET Equipment to be used as rental equipment within the Customer Premises shall be as stated in the Service Agreement and
shall be due prior to installation and shall be refunded to Customer upon termination of service, provided said SET Equipment is returned in good working condition and in its original packaging.
5.4 Agreement to Pay. Monthly payments and any other amounts due to SET may be charged to Customer’s Visa, MasterCard, American Express or other credit card, and/or electronically debited to Customer’s bank account, at Customer’s option. SET may at its discretion issue a monthly in- voice to the Customer. Customer agrees to pay all monthly Service Fees, Usage Fees, Installation Charges, NRCs and Equipment Deposits. Customer hereby authorizes SET to charge Customer’s Visa, MasterCard or other credit card and/or to electronically debit Customer’s bank account for all such fees, charges, taxes and payment transaction processing costs. SET reserves the right to change the acceptable forms of payment at its discretion.
5.5 Late Payments/Failure to Pay. If any payment due to SET is not received by the invoice due date, SET may assess an administrative charge and/or discontinue the Service(s) in compliance with applicable law.
5.6 Price Changes. SET has the right to change its Service Fee at any time and upon 30 days ad- vance notice unless otherwise stated in the Service Agreement.
5.7 Additional Charges. The Service may allow Customer to access the Internet, on-line services and other information.
Customer acknowledges that Customer may incur charges while using the Service in addition to those billed by SET. For example, Customer may incur charges as a result of accessing certain on- line services or purchasing or subscribing to certain other offerings. Customer agrees that all such charges, including all applicable taxes, are the sole responsibility of Customer.
5.8 Credit Inquiries. Customer authorizes SET to make inquiries and to receive information about Customer’s credit experience from others, enter this information in Customer’s file, and disclose such information concerning Customer to appropriate third parties for reasonable business pur- poses. SET reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse to provide Service(s) based upon lack of creditworthiness, or in the alternative to require a security deposit that will be returned to Customer, without interest thereon, upon the expiration or termination of Services assuming all amounts due SET have been paid in full. SET shall have the right to offset against the security de- posit, in part or in full, any amounts due SET that are not paid when due.
6. CUSTOMER CONDUCT AND FAIR USAGE OF
FLAT RATE SERVICES
6.1 Prohibited Uses. Customer shall not use the Service(s) or the SET Equipment, directly or indirectly:
6.1.1 for any unlawful purposes; use of the Service for transmission or storage of any information, data or material in violation of any United States federal, state or local regulation or law is prohib- ited, such limitation shall include, without limitation, posting or disseminating content which is obscene, unlawful, threatening, defamatory, or infringes upon the intellectual property rights of any third party;
6.1.2 to post, transmit or disseminate objectionable information, including, without limitation, any transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, federal or international law or regulation;
6.1.3 to access any other person’s computer, software or data without the knowledge and consent of such person;
6.1.4 to upload, post, publish, transmit, reproduce, create derivative works of, or distribute in any way, information, software or other material obtained through the Service which is protected by copyright or other proprietary rights without obtaining permission from the owner(s);
6.1.5 to copy, distribute, or sublicense any software provided by SET, except that Customer may make one copy of each software program for back-up purposes only;
6.1.6 to service, alter, modify or tamper with the SET Equipment or Service or permit any other person to do the same unless such person is authorized by SET to do so;
6.1.7 to restrict, inhibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of any other person to use or enjoy the Service, including, without limitation, posting or transmitting any information or software which contains a virus or other harmful feature, or generating levels of traffic sufficient to impede others’ ability to send or retrieve information;
6.1.8 to knowingly disrupt the Service;
6.1.9 to resell the Service or otherwise charge others to use the Service; the Service is for personal use only and Customer agrees not to use the Service for operation as an Internet service provider or for any other business enterprise in competition with the Service;
6.1.10 to connect the SIP gateway to any computer outside of Customer’s Premises; or
6.1.11 to allow or provide access to adult content material to anyone under the age of 18 years;
6.2 Fair Usage Policy. Where the Services Agreement or other Written Contract sets a flat rate for usage, unreasonable usage is prohibited and the unreasonable portion of usage is subject to
additional charges at SET’s regular usage rates. As a specific example, where calls to land lines and mobile devices within the United States are included at a flat rate in your subscription, they are subject to a fair usage limit of 2,000 minutes per subscriber line (sip trunk) per month. Upon exceeding the fair usage limit, SET reserves the right to charge a rate of $0.025 per minute for any overages. International calls (calls outside the U.S. and Canada) are included in flat rates only if the Services Agreement or other Written Contract expressly refers to International calls and ex- pressly establishes a flat rate. Where International calls are included in flat rates, unreasonable usage might occur at lower usage levels, because of the higher and more variable cost to SET of carrying International calls. Current international rates are listed at www.irontonglobal.com.
6.3 Call Flooding. To protect the integrity if its network, SET may, in its reasonable discretion and without liability for damages of any type to Customer, its affiliates or End Users, temporarily block duplicate or repeated numbers dialed in succession, where SET considers the number of attempts to be potentially harmful to the network.
6.4 Termination and Indemnification for Customer Conduct. SET reserves the right to immediately suspend the Service if Customer engages in any of the activities listed in Section 6.1 above or if Customer uses the Service or SET Equipment contrary to any other SET policy. Copies of such policies may be posted online at www.setelephone.com. Termination of the Complete Agreement in full or as to specific Service(s) may thereafter follow, in accordance with Paragraph 8 below.
This Section 6.4 shall in no way limit SET’s rights of termination pursuant to Paragraph 8 of these Terms and Conditions. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless SET against all claims and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from Customer’s use of the Services, including, without limitation, the activities listed in Section 6.1 above, or from any other violation of SET policies by Customer. This provision shall survive the expiration or other termina- tion of this Agreement.
7. SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS
7.1 Prorated Credit. Except as otherwise required by law, Customer is entitled to a prorated credit upon request only in the event of a complete failure of the Service due to technical malfunction of the system or network operated by SET for a period of fifteen minutes or more. To obtain a credit, Customer must request a credit in writing to SET within thirty (30) days of the failure. Credits shall be applied against future fees payable by Customer for the Service. A schedule for service inter- ruption and applicable credits is defined in the tariff(s) on file with the appropriate state service commission and may be viewed on the SET website at www.setelephone.com.
7.2 Force Majeure. SET SHALL NOT BE IN BREACH OF CONTRACT, AND SHALL HAVE NO LIABIL- ITY WHATSOEVER FOR INTERRUPTION OF THE SERVICE(S) DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND
SET’S CONTROL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACTS OF GOD, ACTS OF WAR, FLOOD, NATURAL DISASTER, REGULATION OR GOVERNMENTAL ACTS, FIRE, CIVIL DISTURBANCES, STRIKE OR WEATHER.
8. CONTRACT DURATION AND TERMINATION
8.1 Contract Duration and Termination by Customer. Unless the Service Agreement or other Writ- ten Contract sets a different contract duration period, these Terms and Conditions and the Com- plete Agreement as a whole shall be effective (the “Effective Date”) beginning on the earlier of (a) the date of installation or (b) the date Customer and SET enter into a binding contractual arrange- ment. Unless the Service Agreement or other Written Contract sets a different contract duration period, the contract duration period (the “Initial Term”) shall be one year from the Effective Date. Upon expiration of the Initial Term or an Agreed Renewal Term, the parties may (a) continue to do business without a fixed contract duration, on the terms of the Complete Agreement, as SET may modify them by Website Posting or other means, in which case either party may terminate the Ser- vice on 30 days’ notice to the other, or (b) expressly agree in writing to an extend the contract for a specific period of time (“Agreed Renewal Term”). Choice (a) is the default. Please see Paragraph 5 and 16 for a discussion of the broad right of SET to change terms and conditions after expira- tion of the Initial Term or an Agreed Renewal Term and the narrower right of SET to change terms and conditions during the Initial Term or an Agreed Renewal Term. For Services billed by a Fixed Service Fee, Customer may only terminate prior to the end of the Initial Term or Agreed Renewal Term, by giving written notice to SET and paying a Fixed Service Fee Termination Amount equal to the number of months remaining in the Term times the amount of the monthly Fixed Service Fee (“Fixed Service Fee Termination Amount”). For Services billed pursuant to Usage Fees, Customer may only terminate prior to the end of the Initial Term or Agreed Renewal Term by giving written no- tice to SET and by payment of a Usage Fee Termination Amount equal to the number of months re- maining in the Term times the average of the prior three (or if less than three months have elapsed, average over the actual number of months elapsed) months’ Usage Fees (“Usage Fee Termination Amount”). All Fixed Service Fee Termination Amounts and Usage Fee Termination Amounts de- scribed herein shall be referred to herein from time to time as “Termination Fees.” Upon receiving notice of Customer’s early termination, SET shall calculate and invoice Termination Fees, and SET reserves the right to declare the Customer’s notice of termination null and void if Customer does not pay the Termination Fees within 10 days after being invoiced for them.
8.2 Other Termination Provisions. Subject to applicable regulations regarding discontinuance or suspension of service, SET may suspend the affected service immediately upon breach by Cus- tomer of any portions of the Complete Agreement, in order to protect SET or third parties from injury including financial loss. Also subject to applicable regulations, SET may terminate the Com- plete Agreement or the affected service if Customer does not cure the violation within 10 calendar days of receiving notice of the violation from SET. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, a
statement on an invoice that the account is past due shall constitute notice of default, and notice may also be given by other appropriate means. SET need not give notice of default in the case of prepaid cards or other Service for which SET may lacks Customer’s address.
Except during an Initial Term or Agreed Renewal Term, a party may also terminate the Complete Agreement for any or no reason by providing the other party with written notice of such termination no later than thirty (30) days before the date of termination.
In all cases, Service Fees and other charges will continue to accrue through the date of termina- tion. Prepaid Service Fees and charges for cancelled Service will be refunded (unless needed to pay a Termination Fees as discussed in Section 8.1 above), but no refund shall be due if termina- tion is due to violation of the provisions of Section 6.1.
8.3 Customer Obligations. Customer agrees that upon termination of this Agreement:
8.3.1 Customer will pay SET in full for Customer’s use of the Service and SET Equipment up to the later of (i) the effective date of termination of this Agreement or (ii) the date on which the Ser- vice and the SET Equipment have been disconnected and returned to SET. Customer agrees to pay SET on a prorated basis for any use by Customer of the Service or SET Equipment for partial months.
8.3.2 Customer will permit SET, its employees, agents, contractors and representatives to access Customer’s Premises during regular business hours to remove the SET Equipment and other ma- terials furnished by SET.
8.3.3 Customer will ensure the return of all SET Equipment to SET. Customer will return or destroy all copies of any software provided to Customer pursuant to this Agreement. If the SET Equipment is not returned, Customer agrees to pay the charges referred to in Section 3.4 above and SET shall have the right to charge such amounts to Customer’s Visa, MasterCard or other credit card, or to electronically debit Customer’s bank account.
8.3.4 Customer, upon request by SET made not more frequently than monthly, shall provide infor- mation regarding the number of desktop and/or portable computers connected to the SET Service during any month.
8.4 Retention of Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to limit SET’s rights and remedies available at law or in equity. Customer, upon request by SET, shall provide information in a timely fashion regarding the brand/model of phone system(s), the number of desk- top, portable or mobile devices and/or applications (apps) connected to the SET Service. SET reserves the right to delete all data, files, electronic messages or other information for any reason
arising out of or related in any way to the use of the Service and/or SET Equipment by Customer or otherwise arising out of the use of Customer’s computer.
8.5 Survival of Part 8. The terms set forth in this Part 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
9. CONTENT
There may be some content on the Internet or otherwise available through the Service which may be offensive to some individuals or which may not be in compliance with all local, state, or federal laws, regulations, and other rules. SET assumes no responsibility for the content contained on the Internet or otherwise available through the Service. All content accessed by the Customer through the Service is accessed and used by the Customer at Customer’s own risk and SET AND EACH OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, AFFILIATES, SUBCONTRACTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS, SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES, ACTIONS, DAMAGES, SUITS, OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO ACCESS TO SUCH CONTENT BY THE CUSTOMER OR THE CUSTOMER’S EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, OR REPRESEN- TATIVES. SET SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY, QUALITY, AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE.
10. USERS
Customer acknowledges that Customer is executing this Agreement on behalf of all persons who use the Service and/ or SET Equipment through Customer’s computer(s), phone systems, PBXs and other telecommunications equipment. Customer shall have sole responsibility for ensuring that all such other users understand and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that Customer is solely responsible and liable for any and all breaches of the terms and conditions of this Agreement whether such breach is the result of use of the Service and/or the SET Equipment by Customer or any other user of Customer’s computer(s), phone systems, PBXs and other telecommunications equipment. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless SET against all claims and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of the use of the Service and/or SET Equipment by any other user of Customer’s computer(s), phone systems, PBXs and other telecommunications equipment.
11. GENERAL LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
11.1 UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE PROHIBITED BY LAW, NEITHER SET, NOR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, NOR ANY OWNER OR MANAGER OF THE BUILDING OR LAND IN WHICH CUSTOMER’S PREMISES IS LOCATED SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR TO ANY
THIRD PARTY FOR:
11.1.1 ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAM- AGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF EARNINGS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, OR OTHERWISE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH, THE USE OF THE SERVICE BY CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER USE OF THE SET EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DAMAGE RE- SULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF CUSTOMER’S RELIANCE ON OR USE OF THE SERVICE OR SET EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE, OR THE MISTAKES, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, DELETION OF FILES, ERRORS, DEFECTS, DELAYS IN OPERATION, TRANSMISSION OR ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE OR SET EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE; OR
11.1.2 ANY LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, EXPENSES, LIABILITIES OR COSTS (INCLUDING LE- GAL FEES) RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, OR OTHERWISE ARISING IN CON- NECTION WITH ANY ALLEGATION, CLAIM, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING BASED UPON A CON- TENTION THAT THE USE OF THE SET EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, OR SERVICE(S) OR ANY THIRD PARTY’S ACTIONS INFRINGE UPON THE COPYRIGHT, PATENT, TRADEMARK, TRADE SECRET, CONFIDENTIALITY, PRIVACY OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR CONTRACTU- AL RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.
11.2 Application of Liability Limitations. The liability limitations set forth in this Part 11 apply to the acts, omissions and negligence of SET (and its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors and representatives) which, but for this provision, would give rise to a cause of action in contract, tort or any other legal doctrine. However, the liability limitations set forth in this Section 11 shall apply to liability for personal injury or death only to the extent applicable law does not prohibit such limitation.
11.3 No Third Parties. Unless a document within the Complete Agreement states otherwise, there are no third party beneficiaries. Furthermore, no third party owner or manager of Customer’s build- ing or land is a party to this Agreement. Thus, no such owner or manager shall be responsible for or liable to Customer for the quality of the Service(s) or SET Equipment, nor shall SET be liable to such person in relation to the Service(s) or SET Equipment.
11.4 Sole Remedies. Except where otherwise required by law, Customer’s sole and exclusive rem- edies under this Agreement are as set forth in this Agreement, and Customer hereby agrees that its remedies for breach of this Agreement are limited as set forth herein.
12. 911 EMERGENCY CALLING
The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) requires that SET provide basic and, in some situations, enhanced 911 emergency calling service (collectively, “911 Service”) to customers who use certain types of SET services within the United States. A customer may ask if basic or en- hanced 911 Service is provided for a particular service. Enhanced 911 Service differs from basic 911 Service primarily in that Enhanced 911 Service attempts to provide emergency personnel with information regarding the location of the person placing the emergency call.
12.1 Disclaimer:
CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SET’S EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES DO NOT SUPPORT 911 EMERGENCY DIALING OR OTHER EMERGENCY FUNCTIONS IN THE SAME WAY THAT TRADI- TIONAL LANDLINE 911 SERVICES WORK. THE DIFFERENCES ARE DETAILED IN THIS SECTION 12 AND CUSTOMER HEREBY AGREES TO NOTIFY ANY POTENTIAL USER OF THE SERVICES, WHO MAY PLACE CALLS USING CUSTOMER’S SERVICES, OF THE 911 LIMITATIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN. CUSTOMER AGREES TO RESPOND AND AFFIRMATIVELY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SET HAS ADVISED CUSTOMER OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH 911 SERVICE MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN COMPARISON TO TRADITIONAL 911 EMERGENCY DIALING. SET ADVISES CUSTOMER TO MAINTAIN AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF ACCESSING TRADITION- AL 911 SERVICES.
12.2 CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT 911 SERVICE WILL NOT FUNCTION IN THE ABSENCE OF ELECTRICAL POWER AT THE CUSTOMER PREMISES, AND THAT PROVIDING SUCH POWER IS THE CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY. Further, electrical failures within the network of SET or other network providers may also impact the availability of 911 Service.
12.3 Customer acknowledges that 911 Service may not function properly if there is an interruption or a lack of bandwidth of customer’s broadband or high-speed internet access service.
12.4 customer acknowledges that the 911 Service is not set up to function with outdialing systems including home security systems, medical monitoring equipment, TTY equipment, and entertain- ment or satellite television systems. 911 Service may not work if used with such equipment and such equipment may be damaged.
12.5 911 Service is not offered on international numbers, toll free numbers or similar service acces- sories or add-on plans, and certain other services. While provided where required by law, 911 Ser- vice is only available in selected areas. Customers who subscribe to 911 Service will be required to register the physical location of their equipment (ATA or IP phone) with SET, either on the SET user portal, initial order forms, or by calling customer service, and such Customers agree to update the location whenever the physical location of Service changes. Customer acknowledges that, in many cases, SET’s 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 SET will be based upon the physical location provided to SET by Customer.
12.6 Customer acknowledges that SET 911 Service has certain characteristics that distinguish it from traditional 911 Service. These characteristics may make SET’s 911 Service unsuitable for some customers because each customer’s circumstances may vary widely. Customers should carefully evaluate their own circumstances when deciding whether to rely solely upon SET’s 911 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 (such as maintaining a conventional landline phone or wireless phone as a backup means of completing emergency calls). The following characteristics distinguish SET’s 911 Service from traditional 911 Service:
12.6.1 SET 911 Service will not function if Customer’s ATA or IP phone fails or is not configured correctly or if Customer’s SET service is not functioning for any reason, including but not limited to, electrical power outage, broadband service outage, or suspension or disconnection of Service because of billing or other issues. If there is a power outage, customer may be required to reset or reconfigure the equipment before being able to use the SET service, including for 911 purposes.
12.6.2 After initial activation of the 911 Service, and following any change of and update to Cus- tomer’s physical location, there may be some delay before the automatic number and location information is passed to the local emergency service operator. This information is typically pop- ulated into SET’s nomadic 911 Service databases prior to Service activation, but no guarantee can be made that the automatic number and location information will be activated prior to Service activation.
12.6.3 The local emergency service operator receiving SET 911 emergency service calls may not have a system configured for enhanced 911 services or be able to capture and/or retain automatic number or location information. This means that the operator may not know the phone number or physical location of the person who is making the 911 call. Due to technical factors in network design, and in the event of network congestion on the SET network, there is a possibility that a SET 911 call will produce a busy signal or will experience unexpected answering wait times and/or take longer to answer than 911 calls placed via traditional, legacy, circuit-switched telephone networks.
12.6.4 If a customer does not correctly identify the actual location where the SET equipment will be located at the time of activation of the service, 911 communications may not be directed to the correct local emergency operator.
12.7 Limitation on Liability; Indemnification and Hold Harmless Provision Pertaining to 911 Ser- vices. Customer acknowledges and understands all the foregoing provisions of Part 12 herein and that SET WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SERVICE OUTAGE OR INABILITY TO DIAL 911 OR ANY OTHER EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER USING SET OR TO ACCESS AN EMERGENCY SER- VICE OPERATOR DUE TO THE 911 DIALING CHARACTERISTICS AND LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SET, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to customer in connection with the services (“SET related parties”), from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees) by, or on behalf of, customer or any third party or user of the service relating to the failure or outage of the service, including those related to 911 dialing. SET and SET related parties shall also have the benefit of statutory limitations on liability relating to 911 Service.
13. GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION PROVISION
Customer shall defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to SET), indemnify and hold harmless SET and SET’s officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors and representatives from and against any and all claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of SET’s provision, installation, usage, or removal of Service to Customer, or destruction of SET Equipment, Software, or Services in connection with Service to Customer. This indemnification obligation shall apply where Customer is or is alleged to be (by the third party claimant or SET) at fault or partially at fault.
14. PRIVACY POLICY
Customer agrees that SET and/or its agents may, from time to time, collect information regarding Customer’s use of the Service and activities on the Internet. Customer agrees that such infor- mation may be shared with third parties provided that (i) SET does not disclose any personally identifiable information to others, except as allowed by law and (ii) SET otherwise complies with applicable privacy laws. Customer expressly grants SET the right to disclose information relating to Customer and/or Customer’s account in response to a subpoena issued in a civil or criminal investigation, litigation, court order or a civil investigation by a governmental entity.
15. FRAUDULENT CALLS
In the event Customer connects the Services to the public switched network, Customer is sole- ly responsible for selection, implementation and maintenance of security features for protection against unauthorized calling, and SET shall have no liability therefor. Customer is solely responsible for payment of long distance, toll and other telecommunications charges incurred through use of the Services being provided hereunder, even where the known or unknown persons actually using
the service or making calls through the service are not authorized to do by Customer. Customer shall indemnify and hold SET harmless from all costs, expenses, claims or actions arising from fraudulent calls of any nature carried by means of the Services. Customer shall not be excused from paying SET for Services provided to Customer or any portion thereof on the basis that fraud- ulent calls comprised a corresponding portion of the Services.
In the event SET discovers fraudulent calls being made, nothing contained herein shall prohibit SET from taking immediate action, without notice to Customer, which is reasonably necessary to pre- vent such calls from taking place. Notwithstanding, it is understood that SET is under no obligation to investigate the authenticity of calls charged to Customer’s account and shall not be liable for any fraudulent calls processed by SET and billed to Customer’s account.
