ZattCo Subscriber Agreement

This is an agreement ("Agreement") between Zatt Co. ("we", "us" or "ZattCo") and you, an end user ("you", "user" or “Customer”) of ZattCo's Residential or Small Business enhanced communications services (the "Service") as described herein. By establishing, activating, using, or paying for the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these terms, you agree to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, and you represent that you are of legal age to enter this Agreement and become bound by its terms, including those pertinent to 911 Emergency Dialing, and to the prices, charges, and conditions provided to you in association with your enrollment, including marketing materials and the ZattCo website, which are incorporated herein by reference. This Agreement governs the Service and any devices - such as a VoIP phone, analog telephone adaptor, multimedia terminal adapter, or computer operating software enabling the Service (each alone or all collectively known as "Equipment") - website, or software used in conjunction with the Service.

911 EMERGENCY DIALING

PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING 911 VERY CAREFULLY. BY ACTIVATING AND PAYING FOR THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE LIMITATIONS OF ZATTCO 911 EMERGENCY DIALING SERVICE, AND UNDERSTAND THE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN SUCH SERVICE AND TRADITIONAL 911 or E911 CALLS. You agree to notify any user who may place calls using your Service, including any household residents or guests who may be present in your household, of the limitations of ZattCo 911 Emergency Dialing.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT EVEN IN THOSE AREAS IN WHICH ZATTCO OFFERS 911 SERVICE, ZATTCO CANNOT AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE WILL OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY THAT YOU HAVE FUNCTIONING 911 SERVICE IS TO TEST THE SYSTEM; ZATTCO IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO MAKE TEST CALLS TO THE 911 SYSTEM AND CANNOT AUTHORIZE YOU TO DO SO. YOU MAY WISH TO CALL THE NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER OF YOUR LOCAL POLICE OR FIRE DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT IF THEY ARE ABLE TO HELP YOU OBTAIN SUCH PERMISSION.

ZATTCO RECOMMENDS THAT YOU MAINTAIN AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF ACCESSING EMERGENCY SERVICES IN THE EVENT OF A SERVICE DISRUPTION FOR ANY REASON.

ZattCo 911 Service. ZattCo 911 Emergency Dialing is not available in all areas. To activate this service where available, you must register the physical location of your Equipment with ZattCo, and that location must be within the geographic serving area of a Public Safety Answering Point ("PSAP") to which ZattCo has enabled for this service. If you fail to activate and properly configure 911 Emergency Dialing, the Service will not support 911 Emergency Dialing, and you acknowledge and agree to this requirement. 911 Emergency Dialing may not function for up to ten (10) business days after ZattCo activates your Service, and you acknowledge and agree to this requirement.

Service Address. You must provide the address which will be associated with the Service ("Service Address") during the registration process. The service address you provide must be in the same rate center as the Household (primary) number you have selected. Failure to provide the correct and proper Service Address may result in misdirecting 911 calls to the incorrect PSAP or emergency operator and/or the failure to reach the correct location and render emergency service when requested. You acknowledge that 911 dialing will not function properly if you move your Equipment to another Service Address, either temporarily or permanently, unless the new Service Address has been properly recorded and is in an area for which ZattCo provides 911 Emergency Dialing. You may change your Service Address by sending an email with current and new Service Address information to address_change@zattco.com. Change of Service Address will take a minimum of ten business days to properly update the 911 emergency databases.


911 Service Limitations. The following additional limitations apply to 911 Emergency Dialing when it is provided by ZattCo:

P        ZattCo service is only available in areas where 911 service can be provided to new customers.

P        ZattCo 911 service will not function if the Equipment is not configured properly or if your ZattCo Service is not functioning for any reason. This includes a broadband or electrical power outage or if your broadband, ISP, or ZattCo Service is suspended or terminated. In addition, in the event of a local disaster, there is a greater possibility that a ZattCo 911 call will produce a busy signal, fail to be completed, or experience long connection times due to network congestion.

P        ZattCo 911 Service will not function properly for several days after you are able to make outbound calls with your Service. Because of the time it takes to properly update the 911 emergency databases, your 911 service will not be available immediately.

P        You must select a Household (primary) Number that is associated with your Service Address otherwise 911 service will not be available. Calls to 911 service route to the appropriate emergency administrator based on the telephone number you have chosen and the geographic location that you have provided to ZattCo. 911 must be available in your area for ZattCo to offer you service.

P        If you move or intend to use your ZattCo service away from the geographic location you have registered with ZattCo, you must update your account with your new location. You may change your Service Address by sending an email with current and new Service Address information to address_change@zattco.com. Since it may take 10 days or more to properly update the 911 emergency databases, you should NOT rely on ZattCo Service for 911 emergency dialing if you are using the Service when you are temporarily traveling away from home.

Enhanced 911 ("E911"). In certain areas in which ZattCo provides 911 Emergency Dialing, ZattCo provides E911 capabilities, if you have activated and properly configured 911 Emergency Dialing. When the caller dials 911 on a ZattCo-enabled phone with E911 service, ZattCo will automatically deliver the location information you provided at the time of activation, or as subsequently and properly updated, validated, and acknowledged by ZattCo, to the PSAP with the 911 call. If the location information you provided is incorrect, the emergency call may be misdirected to a PSAP that does not serve your location, which as a result may be unable to render sufficient emergency service. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for maintaining accurate physical location information on your ZattCo account. If you move your ZattCo equipment to another location, you must update your Service Address by sending an email with current and new Service Address information to address_change@zattco.com.

Basic 911. In some areas in which ZattCo provides 911 Emergency Dialing, ZattCo may not support E911, and your physical location information may not be automatically delivered to the PSAP with the 911 call. The PSAP or local emergency dispatcher receiving a non-E911 emergency call may not be able to capture and/or retain automatic number or location information. This means that the dispatcher may not know the phone number or physical location of the person who is making the 911 call. Therefore, a caller dialing 911 using ZattCo may need to immediately tell the dispatcher the location of the emergency, and the caller must not prematurely disconnect the line, since the dispatcher may not have the phone number to call back the caller. If the caller is unable to speak or sufficiently describe the location, the emergency dispatcher may not be able to render emergency service to the appropriate location.

Acknowledgement. You understand and acknowledge that ZattCo 911 Emergency Dialing has certain characteristics that distinguish it from traditional, legacy, circuit-switched 911 service. These characteristics may make ZattCo unsuitable to some users. You should carefully evaluate your circumstances when deciding to activate ZattCo Service. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to determine the technology or combination of technologies best suited to meet your emergency calling needs, and to make the necessary provisions for access to emergency calling services, such as maintaining a conventional phone line or wireless phone as a backup means of completing emergency calls.


Suspension of Your Account. You acknowledge and understand that a Service outage due to suspension of your account as a result of billing issues or any other reason, including, but not limited to, those reasons described elsewhere in this Agreement, will prevent all service, including Emergency 911 Dialing.

Indemnification. You acknowledge and understand that ZattCo will not be liable for any Service outage and/or inability to dial 911 using ZattCo or to access emergency service personnel due to the characteristics and limitation of ZattCo Service set forth in this document. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ZattCo, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to you in connection with the Service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party user of the Service relating to the failure or outage of the Service, including those related to 911 dialing. You acknowledge that ZattCo does not offer Lifeline service, and that we strongly recommend that you always have an alternative means of accessing emergency service. This provision supplements the general indemnification provision found below.

SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Service Requirements. The Service requires Equipment obtained through ZattCo that allows you to place and receive calls by using your high-speed Internet connection. ZattCo does not provide or support your high-speed Internet connection, which you need to supply at your own expense. We recommend that your high-speed connection have a capacity of at least 90 kbps upstream and downstream. Since the Service depends on your high-speed connection, the correct configuration of the Equipment, and an adequate power supply, ZattCo does not guarantee continuous availability. You acknowledge and understand that the Service will not function in the absence of electrical power or if there is an interruption of your high-speed Internet connection. A power failure may require you to reset or reconfigure your Equipment or other equipment in order to restore the Service.

Service Limitations. You understand and acknowledge that the Service may not be compatible with all non-voice communications equipment, including but not limited to, home security systems, medical monitoring equipment, fax machines, satellite television systems, and computer modems. You waive any claim against ZattCo for interference or disruption of such services and equipment.

Service Term. The Service is offered on a month-to-month basis, beginning on the date ZattCo activates Service, and automatically renews on a monthly basis. You may cancel the Service at any time by contacting ZattCo according to the procedure described on the ZattCo website. If you cancel Service prior to the end of a monthly term, you will be responsible for paying the full month's charges to the end of the then current monthly term, including applicable fees and usage charges. Expiration of the term or cancellation of Service does not excuse you from paying all unpaid, accrued charges due in relation to the Agreement. You will not receive a partial credit for any prepaid monthly service charge for any days remaining in your cancellation month.

Service Distinctions. The Service is not a telecommunications service, and important distinctions exist between telecommunications service and the Service. In addition, different regulatory treatment is applied to the Service as compared with telecommunications service, which may affect your rights before regulatory agencies.

Your Responsibility. You acknowledge and agree that you are fully responsible for all use on your account, and you accept full liability and responsibility for the actions of anyone who uses the Service via your account with or without your permission. You should safeguard your usernames and passwords, as well as the identifier of the Equipment (referred to as the "MAC address") which ZattCo uses to authenticate usage on your account.

CHARGES AND PAYMENTS

Billing. You must provide a valid credit or debit card number when the Service is activated. You authorize ZattCo to charge automatically to your credit or debit card any amounts payable by you in connection with your use of the Service. Your right to use the Service is subject to any limits established by your credit or debit card issuer. Your charges and credits issued will appear on a billing statement that will be sent to the email address on record with ZattCo. You give ZattCo permission to obtain authorization for use of your credit or debit card from your card issuer. If the card expires, you close your account, your billing address changes, or the card is cancelled and replaced owing to loss or theft, you must advise ZattCo at once. Your initial use of the Service authorizes ZattCo to charge the card account number on file with ZattCo, updated by any changed information related to card expiration, replacement, or substitution. This authorization remains valid until 30 days after ZattCo receives your notice to terminate ZattCo's authority to charge your card, whereupon ZattCo will charge you for any outstanding charges and terminate the Service. ZattCo bills all charges and applicable taxes monthly in advance (except for usage-based charges, which will be billed monthly in arrears, plus any other charges which ZattCo chooses to bill in arrears) to your card. ZattCo is not responsible for any overdraft or other charges imposed by your card issuer or bank due to insufficient funds in your account. ZattCo reserves the right to bill at more frequent intervals if the amount due at any time exceeds $50. All charges will be billed according to the rates and terms set forth in published materials and found on the ZattCo website.

Commencement of Billing. You understand that you are responsible for self-installation of the Equipment per the provided instructions.  You will be billed an activation fee and associated shipping and handling when the Equipment is shipped from ZattCo, and your Service will be considered active seven days after the shipment date or on the day you activate the Service, whichever comes first (the "Activation Date"). You are encouraged to complete installation of the Service by the Activation Date in order to take full advantage of your Service period. You will be responsible for full payment for the charges on your ZattCo bill even if you do not install the Equipment promptly or use the Service.

Price and Price Changes. Prices and charges relating to the Service are posted on the ZattCo website. We may change the prices and charges for the Service from time to time. We may decrease prices without providing advance notice. Increases to the prices or charges for the Service are effective no sooner than fifteen days (1) after posted on the ZattCo website or (2) you are otherwise notified of the changes.

Failure to Pay. We may suspend, restrict, or cancel the Services and this Agreement if you do not make payments for current or prior bills by the required due date. Service suspension or cancellation will result in your loss of the number associated with the Service.

Late Payment Charge. We may add interest charges to any past-due amounts at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowed by law, prorated for each day payment is past due. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked "Paid in Full" or with other restrictions) shall not waive any of our rights to collect the full amount of your charges for the Service. You agree to reimburse us for reasonable attorneys' fees and any other costs associated with collecting delinquent or dishonored payments. If charges cannot be processed through your credit or debit card, we will charge you an additional $15.00. If the state where you receive the Service requires a different fee, we will charge you that amount.

Taxes. You are responsible for, and must pay, any applicable federal, state, local, or other governmental sales, use, excise, public utility, or other taxes, fees, or charges now in force or enacted in the future, that arise from or as a result of your subscription or use or payment for the Service or associated equipment. These amounts are in addition to payment for the Service or equipment and will be billed to your credit or debit card as set forth in this Agreement. If you are exempt from payment of such charges, you must provide documentation satisfactory to us that you are exempt. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date ZattCo receives this documentation. Taxes will be in the amounts specified by federal, state, and local authorities.

Service Interruption. You acknowledge and agree that credit allowances for interruption of the Service will not be provided.

Billing Disputes. You must notify ZattCo Customer Care at (800) 606-9916 within seven days after receiving your credit or debit card statement if you dispute any ZattCo charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived.
