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

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.
USE OF SERVICE
Resale and Transfer. You are
expressly prohibited from reselling or transferring the Service, Equipment,
and/or software to any other person for any purpose, without express written
permission from ZattCo in advance.

intended for normal residential use. The Service and Equipment are provided to
you and your household as a residential user, for your personal, residential,
non-business and non-professional use. This means that you are not using them
for any commercial or governmental activities, profit-making or non-profit. If ZattCo
determines, in its sole discretion, that you are reselling the Service,
allowing persons residing outside of your household to regularly use the

use, ZattCo reserves the right to immediately terminate without notice or
modify the Service and to assess additional charges for each month in which
excessive usage occurred.

the Service and Equipment are provided to you as a small business user. This
means that you are not to resell or transfer the service or device to any other
person for any purpose. You agree that the ZattCo Small Business Plans are for
ordinary and usual office voice communications and do not confer the right to
use the service for auto-dialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding,
telemarketing, fax broadcasting, fax blasting, or any type of automated or
continuous use. ZattCo reserves the right to immediately terminate or modify
the Service, if ZattCo determines, in its sole discretion, that the Service is
being used for any of the aforementioned activities, in accordance with
applicable law regarding such terminations.
Cancellation of Service. You may cancel the
Service at any time by notifying ZattCo Customer Care at (800) 606-9916. You

and you authorize ZattCo to process these charges to your credit or debit card.
If Customer cancels the Service for any reason within twelve
(12) months of the Activation Date and does not return the Equipment to ZattCo,
Customer will be charged a disconnect fee of $30 per voice line (the
“Disconnect Fee”). The Disconnect Fee becomes due and payable
immediately if the Equipment is not returned to ZattCo and postmarked as of the

Customer's credit card. If Customer has multiple lines, Customer will be charged
the Disconnect Fee of $30 per line for each line cancelled. Customer will not

the UPC or bar code intact, and postmarked within fourteen (14) days of
cancellation. All components, manuals and registration card(s) must be included

must be returned with a valid return authorization number obtained from ZattCo
Customer Care. Customer is responsible for return shipping of Equipment.
Money Back Guarantee. ZattCo offers a
30-day Money Back Guarantee, applicable to one primary line per account, not
additional or secondary lines. Under terms of the Money Back Guarantee, ZattCo
refunds the activation fee and first month of Service. ZattCo reserves the
right to terminate or revoke the Money Back Guarantee at any time, without
prior notice.
Customer must cancel Service through ZattCo Customer Care at (800)

usage are not eligible for refund. Customer may not port away a new phone
number (or “DID”) if Customer cancels within thirty (30) days.

bundled basis (including local, toll, long distance and international service)
and cannot be separated. You acknowledge that these services (local, toll, and
long distance) are not available individually and that in order to maintain
each of the services in the bundle, one must maintain the others on the same
service line. Should you wish to change any of these services provided by ZattCo,
you will terminate your Service with ZattCo.
Calling Limitations. ZattCo does not
support certain call types offered by traditional phone services, including,
but not limited to, 0+ calling (including without limitation collect or third

other than ZattCo, the following terms and conditions apply: (1) you hereby
authorize ZattCo to notify your local telephone company of your decision to
switch your local services to ZattCo and to transfer your telephone number, and
represent that you are authorized to take this action; (2) you acknowledge and
agree that you must successfully install and activate your Equipment prior to
the date that the number switch becomes effective; and (3) ZattCo has the right
to refuse to import a number if, in its sole discretion, it does not have the
infrastructure to support the number. You remain solely responsible for any
charges you incur with the telephone company from which the number is being
transferred during the period of the transfer, regardless of delays in
completing the transfer caused by any reason by any party.
Network Integrity and Security. You are
expressly prohibited from any use of the Service or any other action that, in ZattCo's
sole discretion, is deemed to present a risk to the network integrity or
security of ZattCo or its vendors, whether directly or indirectly. ZattCo, in
its sole discretion, may terminate your Service without advance notice if it
determines your actions could cause a network disruption or security breach.

termination of the Service, ZattCo may, in its sole discretion, release a
Number that was ported in from a previous service provider to ZattCo by you and

provider, if such new service provider is able to accept such Number, provided
that your entire account has been terminated, that you have paid all charges
due to ZattCo, and that you request the transfer upon terminating your account.

services. ZattCo, in its sole discretion, may terminate your Service without
advance notice if it believes you have violated the aforementioned
restrictions, or if you act in a manner that is threatening, obscene,
harassing, or abusive to ZattCo personnel. You are liable for any and all use
of the Service by any person using the Service provided to you and agree to
indemnify and hold harmless ZattCo against any and all liability for any such
use. If ZattCo, in its sole discretion, believes that you have violated the
aforementioned restrictions, ZattCo may forward personally identifiable

by ZattCo, which ZattCo reserves the exclusive right to prohibit, you warrant
and represent that you possess all required rights, including software and/or
firmware licenses, to use that interface device with the Service and you will
indemnify and hold harmless ZattCo and its vendors against any and all
liability arising out of your use of such alternative interface device with the

documents, and materials on ZattCo's website are protected by copyright,
trademark, or other intellectual property laws and international treaty
provisions. All websites, corporate names, service marks, trademarks, trade
names, logos, and domain names (collectively "Marks") of ZattCo are
and shall remain the exclusive property of ZattCo and nothing in this Agreement
shall grant you the right or license to use such Marks. You acknowledge that
you are not given any license to use the firmware or software used to provide
the Service or provided to you in conjunction with providing the Service, or
embedded in the Equipment, other than a nontransferable, revocable license to
use such firmware or software strictly in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Agreement, and that the Equipment is exclusively for use in
connection with the Service.

the right to audit your use of the Service to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement. ZattCo reserves the right to track and monitor your Service and
usage subject to the requirements of the United States Patriot Act and other
laws and appropriate law enforcement processes. You acknowledge and agree that

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.
