3.1 MICROSOFT CALLING PLANS

 

VOIP telephony services, as described in the Microsoft Office 365 Service Description, shall be provided by Microsoft only in the Available Countries as listed in said Service Description.

 

 

 

3.1.1 EMERGENCY CALL SERVICES

 

3.1.1.1 Client obligations

 

Client shall provide Supplier with all information necessary to enable the Emergency Call Services, including but not limited to the name and the complete address of each User. Client authorizes Supplier to disclose Users name, telephone number, Address Declared and other relevant identifying information to third-party service providers, including without limitation, call routers, call centers and PSAPs, for the purpose of dispatching emergency services personnel to User location. Client represents and warrants that the information provided about the User’s location as tied to the DID is correct, accurate and complete as of the deployment date and corresponds with the actual address of the User based on official documents (“Address Declared”). Client acknowledges that an oral confirmation of the physical location might be required by the agents of Emergency Services Centers.

 

Client agrees to provide Supplier written notice of any change of such information in a timely manner in order to ensure the accuracy of the relevant Emergency Call Services database and shall be solely responsible for any consequence caused by failure or delay in providing or updating the information.

 

The Client acknowledges that Supplier will not be able to convey calls, including Emergency calls if the information is not provided in accordance with this clause.

 

The Client acknowledges that in case of modification of the Users information, Supplier will modify it as soon as possible and within ten (10) business days from the request. It is Client’s sole responsibility to take into account this timeframe as, during this period, the Emergency Call Services will only be available for the concerned User number based on the previously provided Users information. It is Client’s liability and responsibility to inform Users beforehand of this temporary unavailability and to obtain their enlightened consent.

 

CLIENT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO PROVIDE EACH USER WITH AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ANY EMERGENCY CALL SERVICES LIMITATION IN WRITING PRIOR TO USER’S FIRST USE OF THE SERVICES.

 

3.1.1.2 General rules

 

Supplier provides Emergency Call Services in accordance with the conditions set forth in the Contract and as may be described in the applicable Service Description.

 

Client recognizes and acknowledges that the Emergency Calls Services are limited to Users: (i) with a geographical address located in one of the Available Countries; (ii) with a DID corresponding to the national and local dialing plan of the country where the User is declared; and (iii) who are, when dialing to reach an Emergency Service Center, physically located at the Address Declared.

 

Should Users use the Service in a manner which does not comply with the above conditions, Supplier shall not be held responsible for any consequences due to the unavailability of the emergency calls routing and Client shall hold Supplier, Supplier’s representatives and employees harmless for any and all costs and consequences due to losses, damages or other injuries (including personal injury or death) incurred by Users or a third party as a result of the Emergency Call Services limitations. Client acknowledges and agrees that Supplier may rely on a third party for the routing of Emergency Calls.

 

The Client recognizes and agrees that when a User uses the Emergency Call Services, the CLI is unconditionally displayed to the Emergency Services Center and Client agrees to inform its Users of such display.

 

Client acknowledges that the functionality of all VOIP services, including Emergency Call Services may not function correctly  or at all, (i) in case of occurrence of a force majeure event as defined by the applicable law; (ii) in the event of absence of electrical power, access to the Internet, network congestion or outage that is outside the control of Supplier, its suppliers or its network operators, misconfiguration of Client’s network, equipment malfunction or other general failures associated  with the VOIP services. These events may require that the Client or its Users reset or reconfigure equipment in order to re-establish the VoIP service and the availability of the Emergency Call Service; or (iii) if the Emergency Services Center does not promptly or properly answer or route the call or if errors or omissions are made by the Emergency Services Center or the local exchange carrier servicing the Emergency Services Centers.

 

The Client agrees that Supplier, its suppliers and Supplier’s network operators shall not be held liable for any damages directly resulting from situations or similar situations as mentioned above.

 

The Client understands and acknowledges that the use of the VOIP telephony services from a location other than the Address Declared (“Nomadic Usage”) is possible but does not permit to supply Emergency Calls Services. The Client shall therefore (i) inform its Users at the time of subscription about the non-availability of the Emergency Call Services in case of a Nomadic Usage of VOIP telephony services; and (ii) clearly inform the Users at the time of subscription that each User must use another communication mean for reaching Emergency Service Centers when located at a different address than the Declared Address.

 

 

 

SUPPLIER RECOMMENDS CLIENT TO ENSURE USERS HAVE ACCESS TO A REGULAR TELEPHONE LINE ENABLING ROUTING OF EMERGENCY CALLS WHEN NOT PHYSICALLY LOCATED AT THE ADDRESS DECLARED.

 

3.1.1.3 United States and Canada specific rules

 

3.1.1.3.1 Different routing solutions

 

The Client acknowledges that different routing solutions of the emergency calls shall be used due to national applicable law regarding the Emergency Services Centers. The Client therefore agrees that the following limitations to the Emergency Call Service features shall apply:

 

1/ If the address of User is not validated due to errors (for example a post code that is not matching the street name), then the correction of these errors shall not be done in real-time. The Emergency Call Services may therefore not be correctly supplied when the correction is being made.

 

2/ if the primary method of routing of emergency calls is not available for the entire territories of United States or Canada, Supplier and its underlying suppliers shall therefore use a second routing solution according to the applicable regulatory framework. Client understands and agrees that the following limitations to Emergency Call Service features will apply in case the emergency call is routed via this second solution:

 

§  When the User places the emergency call, this may be routed to an Emergency Services Center other than the Emergency Services Center that would normally receive the emergency call placed from the User location.

 

§  The User physical location and CLI will not be presented to the Emergency Services Centers.

 

§  If the User cannot speak, no information will be provided to the Emergency Services Centers in order to contact Supplier to obtain information that could allow them to dispatch emergency services to the User's location.

 

3.1.1.3.2 Differences with traditional 911 emergency services

 

VoIP service allow people to make or receive telephone calls over the Internet to or from the public switched telephone network. The nature of VoIP telephone calls, while appearing similar to traditional telephone calling services, creates unique limitations and circumstances, and Client understands and agrees to the differences between traditional telephony service and VoIP telephony services. Client also understands and agrees that VOIP telephone services may not provide the most timely or accurate location data if used for the Emergency Call Services, and there are certain circumstances under which the Emergency Call Services may not be available through VOIP telephony services or may be limited by comparison to traditional 911 service. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, relocation of the User's IP-compatible Customer Premises Equipment [CPE] (i.e. laptop, PC, IP Phone, etc.), use by the User of a non-native telephone number, broadband connection failure, loss of electrical power, and delays that may occur in making an Address Declared available in or through the Automatic Location Information (ALI) database. Supplier will not be liable for such resulting errors or delays.

 

Clients acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for informing its Users of the differences between traditional telephony service and VoIP telephony services, including the lack of traditional 911 emergency services. Prior to establishing access to the Services for User, Client must provide Users with a telephone warning "stickers" (the text of which is available at http://terms.arkadin.com/e911_warning_stickers.pdf ) and directions to place the sticker on or near the User VoIP telephone. Client must annually provide all Users with reminders of the 911 service limitations and stickers and directions to place the sticker and reminder on or near the User’s VoIP telephony. If Client or its Users are not comfortable with the limitations on VoIP 911 dialing, Client and Users should have an alternative means of accessing traditional 911 services.

 

3.1.1.3.3 Placing 911 calls

 

When a 911 emergency call is made, VOIP telephony services will attempt to automatically route the 911 call through a third-party service provider or call center that will then route the call to a Public Safety Answering Point based on registered address information provided by the Client. This third-party service provider is different from the PSAP that would answer a traditional 911 call which has access to automatically generated user address information. Consequently, User may be required to provide the User name, address, and telephone number to the third-party service provider answering the 911 call. The VOIP telephony services will attempt to automatically provide the PSAP dispatcher or emergency service operator with the registered name, address and telephone number associated with the Client account and associated phone number from which the call is made. However, for technical reasons, the dispatcher receiving the call may not be able to capture or retain User’s name, phone number, or physical location. Therefore, when making a 911 emergency call, User must immediately inform the dispatcher of his or her location (or the location of the emergency, if different). If the User is unable to speak, the dispatcher may not be able to locate the User if the location information associated with the Client account and associated phone number is not up to date.

 

3.1.1.3.4 Disconnections

 

Users must not disconnect the 911 emergency call until told to do so by the dispatcher as the PSAP or Emergency Services Centers may not have the User’s number or contact information. If the User is inadvertently disconnected, the User must reiterate its call immediately.

 

3.1.1.3.5 Connection Time

 

For technical reasons, including network congestion, a 911 emergency call may produce a busy signal or may take longer to connect than a traditional 911 call.

 

3.1.1.3.6 Liability (United States and Canada only)

 

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EXCEPT FOR ANY CLAIM, LOSS, FINE, PENALTY OR COST, DEATH, DAMAGE TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY CAUSED BY SUPPLIER’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, NEITHER SUPPLIER, ITS UNDERLYING CARRIER(S), THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES NOR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE ROUTING, HANDLING, DELIVERY OF EMERGENCY CALL SERVICES OR ANSWERING OR RESPONDING TO EMERGENCY CALLS (the “INDEMNIFIED PARTIES”), MAY BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSES OF ACTION, LOSS, FINE, PENALTY OR COST, DEATH, DAMAGE TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE 911 SERVICES OR EMERGENCY CALL SERVICES.

 

Client shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from a claim or action of any third party (including any User) relating to (i) the absence, failure, outage of the equipment or the inability to connect to a PSAP or to the Emergency Services Center; (ii) the Internet connection and/or VoIP 911 dialing service or feature; (iii) the data (including User address information) used to route the call to Emergency Services Center or PSAP is incorrect, incorrectly entered or generates errors; (iv) the inability of any User to access emergency service personnel; (v) the conduct of the PSAP or the Emergency Services Center and/or whether or how calls using VoIP 911 dialing are answered or addressed

 

3.1.2 FAIR USE POLICY

 

Client’s use of the Telephony Services is subject to the applicable Microsoft Fair Use Policy.

 

3.1.3 SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

 

If the Client fails to pay an undisputed invoice in due course, Supplier is entitled to limit the access to the Services to dialing emergency calls and to receiving calls, during the period of non­payment by sending a written notice to the Client to remedy such breach. Should the Client fail to pay within thirty (30) days after receiving such notification, Supplier may terminate the Contract. Client understands and agrees that in the event Services are terminated pursuant to the Contract, Users will not be able to access Emergency Service Centers from the User’s DID.
