VOIP Services brought to you by BroadStar

1. EMERGENCY SERVICES – 911 DIALING

1.1 911 Dialing. BroadStar 911 Dialing is different than traditional 911 service. Most of our customers have access to either basic 911 or Enhanced 911 (E911) service. With E911 service, when you dial 911, your telephone number and registered address is simultaneously sent to the local emergency center assigned to your location, and emergency operators have access to the information they need to send help and call you back if necessary. Customers in locations where the emergency center is not equipped to receive, capture or retain your telephone number and address have basic 911 or limited E911. With basic 911 or limited E911, the local emergency operator answering the call may not have your call back number or your exact location, so you must be prepared to give them this information. Until you give the operator your phone number, he/she may not be able to call you back or dispatch help if the call is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak.

As additional local emergency centers become capable of receiving our customers’ information, BroadStar will automatically upgrade customers with basic 911 to E911 service. Certain customers do not have access to either basic 911 or E911. If you don’t have access to basic 911 or E911, your 911 call will be sent to a national emergency call center. A trained agent at the emergency call center will ask for the name, telephone number and location of the customer calling 911, and then contact the local emergency center for such customer in order to send help. Examples of situations where 911 calls will be sent to a national emergency call center include when there is a problem validating a customer’s address, the customer is identified with an international location, or the customer is located in an area that is not covered by the landline 911 network. In addition, if you use certain portable Devices, your 911 calls will be routed to a national emergency call center. Emergency personnel do not receive your phone number or physical location when your 911 call is routed to a national emergency call center. You authorize us to disclose your customer’s name and address to third-parties involved with providing 911 Dialing to you, including, without limitation, call routers, call centers and local emergency centers.

1.2 Notify All Users. You should inform all household residents, guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize the Service of the important differences in and limitations of national 911 Dialing as compared with basic 911 or E911. The documentation that accompanies each Device will include a sticker concerning the potential non-availability of basic 911 or E911 (the “911 Sticker”). It is your responsibility, in accordance with the instructions that accompany each Device, to place the 911 Sticker on each Device that you use with the Service. If you did not receive a 911 Sticker with your Device, or you require additional 911 Stickers, please contact our customer care department.

1.3 Registration of Physical Location Required. For each phone line that you utilize with the Service, you must register with BroadStar the physical location where you will be using the Service with that phone line. Your initial location will be registered as a part of subscribing to the Service. It is incumbent on you to confirm the accuracy of your customer’s physical address. When you move the Device to another location, you must update your location. If you do not update your location, 911 calls you make may be sent to an emergency center near the old address.

1.4 Service Outages.

(a) Service Outages Due to Power Failure or Disruption. 911 Dialing does not function in the event of a power failure or disruption. If there is an interruption in the power supply, the Service, including 911 Dialing, will not function until power is restored. Following a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or reconfigure the Device prior to utilizing the Service, including 911 Dialing.

(b) Service Outages Due to Internet Outage or Suspension or Disconnection of Broadband Service or Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) Service. Service outages or suspensions or disconnections of service by your broadband provider or ISP will prevent all Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.

(c) Service Outage Due to Disconnection of Your BroadStar Account. Service outages due to disconnection of your account will prevent all Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.

(d) Service Outages Due to ISP or Broadband Provider Blocking of Ports or Other Acts. Your ISP, broadband provider or other third party may intentionally or inadvertently block the ports over which the Service is provided or otherwise impede the usage of the Service. During the period that the ports are being blocked or your Service is impeded, your Service, including 911 Dialing, may not function. You acknowledge that BroadStar is not responsible for the blocking of ports by any third party or any other impediment to your usage of the Service, and any loss of Service, including 911 Dialing, which may result. In the event you lose service as a result of blocking of ports or any other impediment to your usage of the Service, you will continue to be responsible for payment of the Service charges.

(e) Other Service Outages. If there is a Service outage for any reason, such outage will prevent all Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning. Such outages may occur for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, those reasons described elsewhere in this Addendum.

1.5 Network Congestion; Reduced Speed for Routing or Answering 911 Dialing Calls. There may be a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 Dialing call made utilizing the Service as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks.

1.6 Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification. We do not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using our 911 Dialing service are answered or addressed by any local emergency response center. We disclaim all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centers and the national emergency calling center. We rely on third parties to assist us in routing 911 Dialing calls to local emergency response centers and to a national emergency calling center. We disclaim any and all liability or responsibility in the event such third party data used to route calls is incorrect or yields an erroneous result.

Neither BroadStar nor its officers or employees may be held liable for any claim, damage, or loss, and you hereby waive any and all such claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to our 911 Dialing service unless such claims or causes of action arose from our gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BroadStar, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to you in connection the Service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including 911 Dialing, incorrectly routed 911 Dialing calls, and/or the inability of any user of the Service to be able to use 911 Dialing or access emergency service personnel.

1.7 Alternate 911 Arrangements. If you are not comfortable with the limitations of the 911 Dialing service, you should consider having an alternate means of accessing traditional 911 or E911 services or disconnecting the Service.

2. SERVICE TERM

2.1 Service Term. Service is offered and paid for on a prescribed recurring basis for a term that begins on the date that BroadStar activates your Service and ends on the day before the same date in the following period (“Service Term”). Subsequent terms of this Addendum automatically renew for the same Service Term unless you give us written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days before the end of the applicable Service Term. You are purchasing the Service for the full Service Term, meaning that if you attempt to disconnect Service prior to the end of the applicable Service Term, you will be responsible for all charges relating to the then-current Service Term, including unbilled charges, plus a disconnection fee, if applicable, all of which will immediately become due and payable.

We may, but are under no obligation to, monitor usage of the Service for violations of this Addendum.

We reserve the right to immediately disconnect your Service without notice, if, in our sole and absolute discretion, we determine that you have used the Service or the Device for an unlawful purpose. In the event of such disconnection, you will be responsible for all fees and charges due under this Addendum, plus a disconnection fee, if applicable, all of which will be immediately due and payable. If we believe that you have used the Service or the Device for an unlawful purpose, we may forward the relevant communication and other information, including your identity, to the appropriate authorities for investigation and prosecution. You hereby consent to our forwarding of any such communications and information to these authorities. In addition, BroadStar will provide customer and call detail information in response to lawful government requests, subpoenas and court orders, or law enforcement requests where the failure to disclose the information may lead to imminent harm to the customer or others. Furthermore, BroadStar reserves all of its rights at law and equity to proceed against anyone who uses the Services illegally or improperly.

2.4 Use of Service and Device by Customers outside the United States. Although we encourage you to use the Service to place calls to foreign countries from within the United States and to use the Service as you travel, BroadStar offers and supports services only in the United States and certain other countries. BroadStar Service is designed to work generally with unencumbered high-speed internet connections.

However, if the high-speed internet connection you are using is not within a BroadStar service area, and/or your ISP or other broadband provider places restrictions on the usage of VoIP services, BroadStar does not represent or warrant that use of the Service by you is permitted by such other jurisdiction or by any ISP or broadband provider. You will be solely responsible for any violations of local laws and regulations or violations of ISP and broadband provider terms of service resulting from such use. We reserve the right to disconnect your Service immediately if we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that you have used the Service or the Device in violation of laws of jurisdictions outside of BroadStar service areas.

You hereby represent and warrant that you possess all required rights, including software and/or firmware licenses, to use any interface device that we have not provided to you. In addition, you shall indemnify and hold us harmless against any and all liability arising out of your use of such interface device with the Service.

2.6 Tampering with the Device or Service. You shall not change the electronic serial number or equipment identifier of the Device or perform a factory reset of the Device without our prior written consent. We reserve the right to disconnect your Service if we believe, in our sole and absolute discretion, that you have tampered with the Device.

2.9 Service Distinctions. The Service is not a telecommunications service and we provide it on a best efforts basis. Things beyond our control may affect the Service, such as power outages, fluctuations in the internet, your underlying ISP or broadband service. Other things may affect Service, such as maintenance. BroadStar will act in good faith to minimize disruptions to your use of and access to Service. Important distinctions exist between a telecommunications service and our Service, and our Service is subject to different regulatory treatment than a telecommunications service. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before regulatory agencies.

2.11 No Directory Listing. The phone numbers you obtain from us will not be listed in any telephone directories. Phone numbers transferred from your local phone company may, however, be listed. As a result, someone with your phone number may not be able to utilize a reverse directory to lookup your address.

2.16 Incompatibility With Other Services.

(a) Home Security Systems. The Service may not be compatible with home security systems. You may be required to maintain a telephone connection through your local exchange carrier in order to use any alarm monitoring functions for any security system installed in your home or business. You are responsible for contacting the alarm monitoring company to test the compatibility of any security system with the Service.

(b) Certain Broadband, Cable Modem, and Other Services. You acknowledge that the Service presently is not compatible with AOL cable broadband service, certain versions of TiVO, and there may be other services with which the Service may be determined to be incompatible. You further acknowledge that some providers of broadband service may provide modems that prevent the transmission of communications using the Service. We do not warrant that the Services will be compatible with all broadband services and expressly disclaim any express or implied warranties regarding the compatibility of the Service with any particular broadband service.

3. CHARGES; PAYMENTS; TAXES; DISCONNECTION

3.1 Billing. When the Service is activated, you must provide us with a valid email address and a payment method that we accept. We reserve the right to stop accepting your payment method or your payments. If your payment method expires, you close your account, your billing address changes, or your payment method is cancelled and replaced on account of loss or theft, you must advise us at once.

We will bill all charges, fees, applicable taxes and surcharges for each prescribed Service Term, in advance (except for usage-based charges, which will be billed monthly in arrears, and any other charges which we decide to bill in arrears) to your payment method, including, but not limited to: activation fees; service fees; usage charges; international usage charges; advanced feature charges; premium services/Add-ons, equipment purchases; regulatory recovery fee; Emergency 911 Cost Recovery Fee; 911 fees; Federal Universal Service Fee; federal, state and/or local taxes; disconnection fees; and shipping and handling charges. The amount of such fees and charges will be made known to you and may change from time to time. BroadStar may introduce new products and services at special introductory pricing. Introductory pricing may change at BroadStar’s discretion. Where required by law, notification of invoices will be sent to you via your email address on file with us. We reserve the right to bill at more frequent intervals if the amount you owe to us at any time exceeds $1000. BroadStar bills usage charges in full minute increments that are rounded up to the next full minute unless otherwise set forth in the rate schedules found on our website. BroadStar bills fractional usage charges in full cents that are rounded up when the value is $.005 or more and down when the value is less than $.005, unless otherwise noted.

The above fees are defined as follows:

Activation Fee – This fee covers charges for setting up your account and activating you on our system.

Service Fee – This is the basic charge associated with your service. This fee includes the calling charges defined by your plan; the features associated with your plan and basic account services.

Usage Charges – If you exceed the number of calling minutes on your plan, BroadStar will bill you for the minutes you use above your allowance. International Usage Charges – These are the fees associated with calls to locations outside of the US, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Advanced Features, Add-ons, Premium Services – BroadStar charges additional fees for enhanced features, add-ons, and other added products and services.

Equipment Purchases – In most instances, you will pay for equipment associated with your BroadStar service with your payment method. However, there may be occasions when BroadStar will offer you the option to bill equipment to your account.

Regulatory Recovery Fee – A regulatory recovery surcharge applies to each phone number. BroadStar uses this fee to pay our regulatory-related fees and expenses, including taxes, number portability charges, and related legal fees.

Emergency 911 Cost Recovery Fee applies to each line of service. This fee is used to recover costs directly associated with developing, implementing and maintaining a nationwide E911 in compliance with FCC regulations, BroadStar 911 dialing and the BroadStar national 911 emergency call center. Taxes – BroadStar is required to bill and collect local, state and federal taxes imposed on BroadStar customers by the various taxing authorities. BroadStar passes all taxes it collects on to the appropriate taxing authority. 911 Fees – State and/or local governments may assess fees on BroadStar to pay for emergency services in your community.

BroadStar bills and collects 911 fees from its customers and remits such fees to the appropriate authority. Depending on where you live, these fees can vary widely. BroadStar is committed to supporting public safety services and resources in your State. For more information, and to learn more about the fees collected in your community for emergency services, contact your state or local elected official. Federal Universal Service Fee – a monthly charge that recovers the contributions that BroadStar, as a VoIP provider, must make to the federal Universal Service Fund (USF). This fund supports the telecommunications needs of low income households, schools, libraries, rural hospitals, and consumers living in high-cost service areas. This fee is applied to Customer’s interstate and international charges at the same rate applicable to BroadStar’s USF contributions and may be subject to periodic adjustment.

3.2 Billing Disputes. You must notify us in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your statement if you dispute any BroadStar charges on that statement or you will be deemed to have waived any right to contest such charges. All notices of disputed charges should be sent to:

3.3 Payment and Collection.

(a) Payment. Your subscription to the Service authorizes us to collect from your payment method. This authorization will remain valid until thirty (30) days after we receive written notice from you terminating our authority to charge your payment method, whereupon we will charge you for the disconnection fee, if applicable and any other outstanding charges and disconnect your Service. We may disconnect your Service at any time in our sole and absolute discretion if any charge to your payment method is declined or reversed, your payment method expires and you have not provided us with a valid replacement payment method or in case of any other non-payment of account charges.

You agree to waive your rights under Regulation E to receive ten (10) days advance notice from BroadStar regarding the amount that BroadStar will debit from your account. BroadStar may send you messages about your billing from time to time, but BroadStar is not obligated to do so. BroadStar may change or cease its messages at any time without notice to you.

3.4 Disconnection; Discontinuance of Service. We reserve the right to suspend or discontinue the Service generally, or to disconnect your Service, at any time in our sole and absolute discretion. If we discontinue the Service generally, or disconnect your Service without a stated reason, you will only be responsible for charges accrued through the date of disconnection, including a pro-rated portion of the final Service Term charges. If your Service is disconnected on account of your breach of any provision of this Addendum, you will be responsible for all charges through the end of the current Service Term, including unbilled charges, plus the disconnection fee, if applicable, all of which will immediately be due and payable. BroadStar will pursue collection for unpaid amounts on disconnected accounts and may report to credit bureaus.

3.5 Taxes. State and local governments may assess taxes, surcharges and/or fees on your use of BroadStar service. These charges may be a flat fee or a percentage of your BroadStar charges and may change from time to time without notice.

You are responsible for all applicable federal, state, provincial, municipal, local or other governmental sales, use, excise, value-added, personal property, 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 a Device. Such amounts are in addition to payment for the Service or Devices and will be billed to your payment method as set forth in this Addendum.

3.6 Charges for Directory Calls (411). We will charge you $0.99 for each call made to BroadStar directory assistance.

3.7 Promotional Pricing. Promotional pricing automatically increases to regular pricing at the end of promotional period. If you elect to discontinue the promotional service, please do so before the end of the  promotional period in order to avoid the automatic increase to regular pricing.
