PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy was last updated August 12, 2024. LV Voice, LLC (“LV Voice,” “we” or “us”) provides Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone services (the “Services”). This Privacy Policy contains important information on how we use, maintain and disclose personal information collected about you on this website and webpages owned and operated by LV Voice as well as the Services provided on our website through the customer portal for business customers. By accessing this website or providing information to us through this website, or by ordering our Services, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy. How we collect and use your personal information LV Voice collects certain information from you when you request information about Services, establish an account, request information, or ask to be included in an email or other contact list. Through our website and customer portal, you may provide us with certain personal information in order to set up an account, contact us, request information, access information or subscribe to Services. This information may include your first and last name, phone number, email address, mailing, service or other physical address, payment information (including credit or debit card information), and other information needed to provide you with the information or services you are requesting. You may enter this information through our contact us form or through our customer portal, available at lvvoice.net.

Children We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. We do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive information from children under the age of 13, nor send them requests for personal information. In the event that we determine that we possess personal information from children under the age of 13, we will delete that information. Cookies and Tracking Technology Like many other websites, we use standard technology such as cookies, web beacons, and pixels (collectively, called “cookies” herein) to collect information about how you use our website. A cookie is a small data file that may be sent to your computer when you visit our website. A cookie is used to identify you when you use our website or return to our website. We use cookies to better serve our website users and help us improve your experience on our website. We may use session and persistent cookies—a session cookie enables certain features on our website, but is deleted from your computer when you end your browsing session, whereas a persistent cookie remains on your computer after you close your browser, and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to our website. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings tab. You may also have the option to delete most cookies. By changing the settings of your browser, you may be able to effectively refuse or delete cookies, but that may affect the display function of certain features on our Website. How we protect your information We make reasonable efforts to maintain the security of our servers and computer networks in order to help prevent the loss, misuse, and modification of the personal information we collect on our website. We protect the security of your personal information by using specialized software during the Service application process, enrollment, or when you pay for Services via our customer portal. We also maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the personal information in our possession. We have established security protocols to ensure that we are doing our part to protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security and integrity of our systems. Even though we take reasonable steps to maintain information security, and expect our vendors to do the same, we cannot guarantee the security of personal information. We also encourage our customers to do their part in protecting their personal and sensitive information, including being responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account login information and other passwords. Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) Certain of the information that we collect from you may constitute Customer Proprietary Network Information, or CPNI. CPNI is certain information that we obtain solely by virtue of providing you with the VoIP Services, and that concerns the VoIP Services you purchase, including the type, destination, technical configuration, location and amount of use of such Services, along with related billing information. From time to time, we may use the CPNI information we have on file to provide you with information about our communications-related products and services or special promotions. LV Voice’s use of CPNI may also enhance our ability to offer products and services tailored to your specific needs. LV Voice may use your CPNI to let you know about communications-related services other than those to which you currently subscribe that LV Voice believes may be of interest to you. In some instances, LV Voice will want to share Customer’s CPNI with its independent contractors, suppliers, agents or “Marketing Partners” in order to provide Customer with information about LV Voice’s communications-related products and services or special promotions. Your signature on a service agreement or sales order signifies Customer’s consent that LV Voice may use and disclose CPNI as described herein or in our Terms of Service posted at www.lvvoice.net. Nonetheless, you do have the right to restrict LV Voice’s use of your CPNI. Customer may deny, withdraw or restrict our right to use CPNI at any time by advising LV Voice via email message to info@lvvoice.net If Customer denies or restricts its approval for LV Voice to use Customer’s CPNI, Customer will suffer no effect, now or in the future, with regard to how LV Voice provides any Services to which Customer subscribes. Any denial or restriction of Customer’s approval remains valid until Customer’s Services are discontinued or Customer affirmatively revokes or limits such approval or denial. LV Voice may disclose CPNI without your consent, and without asking for Customer’s authorization, in any of the following circumstances: ● When disclosure is required by law or court order. ● To protect the rights and property of LV Voice or to protect Customer and other carriers from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of services. ● For directory listings. ● To provide LV Voice Services to the Customer, including assisting Customer with troubles associated with its Services. Without limiting the foregoing, if you purchased your LV Voice Services through a designated LV Voice “Marketing Partner,” that entity will provide you with certain support services, and LV Voice will share your CPNI with that Marketing Partner as necessary to enable it to provide you with customer support. ● To bill the Customer for Services. ● When Customer has approved use of their CPNI for LV Voice, or LV Voice’s partners, affiliates, or independent contractors. Federal privacy rules require LV Voice to authenticate the identity of the Customer calling LV Voice prior to disclosing CPNI. Customers calling LV Voice can discuss their Services and billings with a LV Voice representative once that representative has verified the caller’s identity. There are three methods by which LV Voice will conduct Customer authentication: 1.By having the Customer provide a pre-established password and/or PIN; 2.By calling the Customer back at the telephone number associated with the Services purchased; or 3.By mailing the requested documents to the Customer’s address or email address of record. In the event the Customer fails to remember their password and/or PIN, LV Voice will ask the Customer a series of questions known only to the Customer and LV Voice in order to authenticate the Customer. You may manage your password by contacting us at our customer service number, as posted on our website. LV Voice will notify you of changes to your account. These notifications may be sent to a postal or e- mail address, or by telephone, voicemail or text message. In addition to the protections described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, LV Voice employees are trained on how CPNI is to be protected and when it may or may not be disclosed. LV Voice maintains records of its own and its joint venture partners and/or independent contractors (if applicable) sales and marketing campaigns that may utilize Customer CPNI. LV Voice also keeps records of instances in which CPNI is disclosed to third parties or where third parties were allowed access to Customer CPNI. In the event LV Voice experiences a privacy breach and CPNI is disclosed to unauthorized persons, LV Voice will notify law enforcement as required by Federal regulations. LV Voice cannot inform Customer of the CPNI breach until at least seven (7) days after notification has been sent to law enforcement, or later if law enforcement directs us to postpone disclosure pending investigation. LV Voice is required to maintain certain records regarding any breach involving the release of CPNI, and retain these records for a period of not less than two (2) years. Changes and updates to this Privacy Policy We will change and update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, the Privacy Policy version date, at the top of this page, will be updated to reflect that revision. We encourage you to periodically re-read this Privacy Policy to see if any changes could affect you. Questions, concerns or complaints If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can reach us by sending an email to info@lvvoice.net or by regular mail to 645 East Pittsburgh St. #304, Greensburg, PA 15601.

User’s Registered Location. If you or any of your Users have any changes to the physical location where you are using a Line, you must update the Registered Location of such Line by calling the customer support line or emailing your account manager. LV Voice is providing a VoIP Trunking solution for businesses intended strictly for use at the physical address of the business. Users who are residential users or who have nomadic equipment or phones where the calling location changes as the device used with the Service moves to another location should not use LV Voice’s Service. If use the Services from an address not properly registered with LV Voice, 911 calls made may be sent to an emergency center near your old address unless you update the Registered Location. You acknowledge and agree that LV Voice may incur charges for misdelivered calls or calls delivered to the national emergency call center and you agree that you will pay LV Voice for any such costs or charges upon demand. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, you attempt to use the service in a nomadic manner, or over multiple devices, you understand and acknowledge that a Voice Service Line cannot be used from multiple devices, and you are solely responsible for ordering and paying the costs associated with, a sufficient number of telephone numbers to permit operation of the Voice Service from any device on which you try to access it. LV Voice does not guarantee that any device not provided by it will be compatible with the Service. If Customer fails to provide an accurate physical address, fails to provide any address at all or fails to update the Registered Location of a Line when such Line is moved to a new location and dials 911, 911 calls will not be routed to the appropriate PSAP or other emergency center. LV Voice reserves the right to charge Customer for any or all costs incurred by LV Voice, including without limitation charges imposed by third party carriers or service providers, in the event that Customer uses or attempts to use 911 Dialing without registering or updating a Registered Location for each Line as required by this paragraph. Outages May Disrupt LV Voice’s Service and/or E911 Dialing. 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 Services, 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(s) used with the Services prior to utilizing the Services, including 911 Dialing. Service Outages Due to Internet Outage or Suspension or Disconnection of Broadband Service or Internet Service LV Voice (“ISP”) Service. Service outages or suspensions or disconnections of service by the underlying broadband provider or ISP , for any reason including without limitation your failure to timely pay for services, will prevent all LV Voice Services, including 911 Dialing, from functioning. Service Outage Due to Disconnection of Your LV Voice Account. Service outages due to disconnection, termination or temporary suspension of your account for any reason, including without limitation non-payment or violations of our Acceptable Use Policy, will prevent all LV Voice Services, including 911 Dialing, from functioning. Service Outages Due to Customer Premise Equipment, ISP or Broadband LV Voice Blocking of Ports or Other Acts. Your firewall, ISP, broadband provider or other third party may intentionally or inadvertently block the ports over which the Services are provided or otherwise impede the usage of the the Services, including 911 Dialing. If you suspect this has happened to you, you should alert us to this situation, and we will work with you to attempt to resolve the issue. During the period that the ports are being blocked or your LV Voice Services are impeded, the Services, including 911 Dialing, may not function. You acknowledge that LV Voice is not responsible for the blocking of ports by any firewall or third party or any other impediment to your usage of our Services, and any loss of our Services, 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 LV Voice service, you will continue to be responsible for payment for the LV Voice service charges unless and until you disconnect the LV Voice’s service in accordance with the terms of our Terms of Service. Other Service Outages. If there is a service outage for any reason, such outage will prevent all LV Voice’s 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 policy. Network Congestion May Reduce Speed of 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 LV Voice’s Services as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks. Changes to Your Address or Use of a Non-Native Number May Cause Delays in Assistance. Changes to your Registered Location as described above require processing, and delays in updating your new address in an applicable automatic location information (ALI) database may impair or restrict the ability of emergency personnel to help you. You should allow at least 12-24 hours for the ALI database to update before your new Registered Location will be available to emergency personnel, where available. In addition, if you move to a location that uses a different area code, exchange or other number system from the telephone number that has been assigned to you, processing your emergency call may be delayed by a local emergency center. 911 Dynamic Location Routing 911 dynamic location routing enables users of the Services to send a header containing an address that will override the Registered Location for that telephone number/DID. If the DID the User is dialing from isn’t registered with a Registered Location, you will be charged a fee as described in the paragraph captioned “You Must Register Your Physical Location.” Additionally, if the DID the User is dialing from isn’t registered with an address, the call may go a national call center to attempt to route the call to the correct emergency service provider and the address provided in the header will be ignored. If the User sends the header incorrectly or if LV Voice’s provider cannot locate the address, it will default to the address that the User registered. Users are responsible for ensuring that the header/address being sent has been confirmed by dialing “933” to test service. Direct Access to 9-1-1 Service Required A law called “Kari’s Law” is effective at the federal level and governs 911 dialing by multiline telephone systems (“MLTS”), which includes IP enabled services as well as traditional multiline services such as PBXs. Various states have requirements similar to Kari’s Law. Certain of these state laws require LV Voice to provide our customers in such states with notification of the statutory provisions contained in Kari’s Law. Kari’s Law provides that: A business owner or operator that owns or controls an MLTS and provides outbound dialing capacity or access shall be required to configure the MLTS to allow a person initiating a 9-1-1 call on the system to directly access 9-1-1 without an additional code, digit, prefix, postfix, or trunk-access code. A business owner or operator that provides residential or business facilities utilizing an MLTS shall configure the telephone or equivalent system to provide a notification to a central location on the site of the residential or business facility when a person within the residential or business facility dials 9-1-1, provided that the business owner or operator’s system is able to be configured to provide such notification without an improvement to the system’s hardware. The requirement of this subsection does not require a business owner or operator to have a person available at the central location to receive such notification. If you subscribe to a LV Voice systems of multiple Lines, you agree that you will comply with the foregoing requirements. You will be responsible for managing and directing the configuration and operation of any MLTS Service ordered by you. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer will be responsible for managing its use of the Services and its operation of all equipment and devices used with the Services in accordance with all applicable laws. Customer’s obligations shall include, without limitation, (a) designating one or more administrators who are authorized to order Lines or modifications to the Services, or to reconfigure hardware used with the Services; (b) determining the number of Lines required for Customer’s needs, the assignment and re-assignment of Lines among its Users, and changes in the number, location or other characteristics of Lines required; and (c) the day-to-day operations of the Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a separate telephone/DID must be purchased and assigned to each device that is capable of or configured to place outbound calls to the public switched telephone network in order for 911 Dialing to function properly for such device. Outside the United States. If Customer uses the Service from a location outside the United States, Customer will not be able to use 911 Dialing. E911 Provisioning Intervals. Provisioning 911 Dialing may take additional time following the activation of the Service, during which time 911/E911 emergency calling may not be available or additional fees may be incurred. Required Information. In some circumstances, Customer may need to advise emergency service personnel of the nature of the emergency, the Customer’s telephone number, or the Customer’s physical location. If a call is disconnected for any reason, emergency service personnel may not be able to call the caller back, determine the Customer’s physical location, or dispatch emergency personnel to the Customer’s location. Physical Location. For E911 Service to work properly, the Registered Location in LV Voice’s records MUST correspond to the physical location from which the User uses the Services. A P.O. Box is not sufficient to use as a physical address. The emergency service dispatcher will only send emergency service personnel to Customer’s or the applicable User’s Registered Location. Information. Customer will be responsible for accurately providing LV Voice with all information necessary to ensure the accuracy of each Automatic Location Identification (“ALI”) and Public Safety Answering Position, including, but not limited to, all Direct Inward Dialing (“DID”)/Direct Outward Dialing (“DOD”) numbers, and a correct and valid emergency response address for each DID/DOD number. Further, Customer must furnish all updates of this information to LV Voice. All of Customer’s information must be accurately provided and provisioned in the Automatic Number Identification (“ANI”) database to provide full 911 service functionality. If a 911 call is made from an invalid, non-provisioned, or improperly provisioned telephone number, the call will not be normally and automatically routed to the correct PSAP and may be routed to the backbone E911 provider’s 24/7 Emergency Call Routing Center (“ECRC”). In such event, a per-call charge will be billed to Customer at a rate determined by LV Voice from time to time. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold LV Voice, LV Voice’s affiliates, and its Vendors harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, judgments, damages and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, incurred or suffered by such party relating to the failure of Customer to provide LV Voice with accurate database entries and updates thereto. 911 calls rely on the proper assignment of caller ID and calls that are not properly assigned a provisioned number as a caller ID will result in call failures and/or incurred fees. Do not block the telephone number on the handset when dialing 911, and instruct your Users not to do so. Routing Solution. LV Voice’s Vendors (which term shall include such Vendor’s affiliates or designated 911 vendor(s)) will generally route VoIP E911 calls by way of native 911 solutions where the Vendor’s backbone provider has access to the E911 Service infrastructure. The following limitations apply to Service(s) in regions where a native 911 solution is utilized: In the event of an address geo-coding or Master Street Address Guide (“MSAG”) validation failure, the error records cannot be processed in real-time. Commercially reasonable efforts will be made to resolve the records in error. There may be instances that will prevent the correction of errors, causing delays in uploading data into the provisioning system; and The E911 Service is predicated on using primary wireline PSAP boundaries for routing the Service’s emergency calls to the appropriate PSAP. The primary wireline boundary information is collected and is entered into a database for real- time queries for PSAP boundary lookup. Customer acknowledges that primary wireline PSAP boundary data may not be available for the entire United States and that 911 Service is dependent on the PSAPs to provide such information resulting in the use of wireless PSAP boundary data to route a VoIP emergency call. Non-Native Solution. If E911 Service is provided in regions where a non-native 911 solution is utilized, the following limitations apply: E911 Service uses wireless PSAP boundaries when a primary wireline PSAP boundary is not available. Therefore, the 24x7 PSAP provided when a caller places an emergency call may correspond to a PSAP other than the PSAP that would normally receive wireline emergency calls placed from the caller’s location. A caller’s physical service address and call back number will not be presented to the PSAP; and/or If a caller cannot speak, Customer acknowledges that no information will be provided to the PSAP to contact the caller to obtain information that would automatically allow them to dispatch emergency services to caller’s location. Each PSAP’s internal processes will dictate how the call should or will be handled. Additional Considerations. If an address provided for by Customer or its Users cannot be recognized by the system and/or cannot be geo-coded, neither LV Voice or its third-party carriers, or such other third parties utilized by such carriers, assumes any liability or responsibility for providing emergency calling services for the telephone number associated with such address. In situations where emergency call routing uses ECRC, and if caller cannot speak or identify his or her address; (ii) data connectivity between the address database and the ECRC is interrupted; or (iii) the caller’s location information cannot be provided, Customer acknowledges that the LV Voice and any Vendor shall have no ability to assist the caller and Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, hold LV Voice, LV Voice’s affiliates, and its Vendors harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, judgments, damages and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, incurred or suffered by such party as a result of such instances. Customer understands and acknowledges and commits to informing its Users of the nature and limitations of 911 Dialing over the Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that neither LV Voice nor any of its affiliates or Vendors will be liable for any outage (whether of the Services, electrical power or third party networks) and/or inability of a caller to dial 911 or to access emergency service personnel due to the characteristics and limitation of the Services. Customer understands that all calls must be delivered with the appropriate calling party number (“CPN”) representing the caller’s actual geographic location. Customer will be responsible for 911 configurations for all active CPNs. “Valid CPN” means the calling party’s actual assigned ten (10)-digit telephone number within the North American Numbering Plan assigned by LV Voice, excluding special purpose phone numbers such as 8XX, 950, 555 and N11. Delivery of valid CPN is a material obligation of Customer hereunder and failure to comply shall be deemed a breach of the Terms of Service. For outbound calls other than calls to 911, if Customer does not deliver valid CPN, LV Voice will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the call. For 911 calls, if Customer does not deliver valid CPN, LV Voice cannot complete the call. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold LV Voice, LV Voice’s affiliates, and its Vendors harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, judgments, damages and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation, incurred or suffered by such party relating to the failure of Customer to deliver valid CPN. E-911 Secondary Notification Service. When a 911 call is placed using the Services, a non- secure plain text notice may be sent to one or more Customer selected email addresses when the Customer purchases such a Secondary Notification Service from the LV Voice. The LV Voice does not guarantee, however, that any such notice will be sent or reach the Customer selected email addresses. Call Volume. If the number of 911 calls from Customer’s Users exceeds three percent (3%) of the total call records managed on behalf of Customer in LV Voice’s ALI database in any applicable month, LV Voice may charge Customer a surcharge per call, in an amount established by LV Voice from time to time. Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification. LV Voice does not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using LV Voice’s 911 Dialing are answered or addressed by any PSAP or other local emergency response center. LV Voice disclaims any and all responsibility for the conduct of PSAP or local emergency response centers. LV Voice relies on third parties to assist it in routing 911 Dialing calls and disclaims any and all liability or responsibility in the event such third party data used to route calls is incorrect or yields an erroneous result. None of LV Voice, its affiliates, or any of their partners, shareholders, members, directors, managers, officers, employees or agents may be held liable for any claim, cause of action, damage, loss, liability, expense, cost, fee, charge, or penalty arising out of or related to your use of 911 Dialing, and by using LV Voice’s Services you hereby waive any and all such claims, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, expenses, costs, fees, charges, or penalties, arising from or relating to LV Voice’s 911 Dialing Service unless such claims, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, expenses, costs, fees, charges, or penalties arose solely from LV Voice’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING OR ANY PROVISION OF THE TERMS OF SERVICE, LV VOICE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, FOR OR REGARDING 911 DIALING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LV Voice, its affiliates, all of their partners, shareholders, members, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents, and any other service provider who furnishes services to you in connection with LV Voice’s Services, from any and all claims, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, expenses, costs, fees, charges, or penalties (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party relating to the absence, failure or outage of the LV Voice’s Service, including 911 Dialing, incorrectly routed 911 Dialing calls, your failure to comply with the terms and limitations in this Addendum, your failure to notify any User of the terms and limitations in this Addendum, and/or the inability of any User of LV Voice’s Service to be able to use 911 Dialing or access emergency service personnel. You May Want to Make Alternate 911 Arrangements or Choose Not to Use LV Voice’s ServiceS. 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 LV Voice’s Service.
911 ADDENDUM
ADDENDUM TO TERMS OF SERVICE 911/E911 NOTICE, DISCLOSURES AND TERMS Dated August 12, 2024 This “Addendum” is a material part of the Terms of Service governing LV Voice, LLC’s (“LV Voice”, “we” or “us”) VoIP services (the “Services”). The customer obtaining the Services (“Customer” or “you”) represents, warrants and agrees that it has read, understood and agrees to these limitations, restrictions and terms applicable to calling 911 using the Services. Customer represents and warrants that it shall provide clear and conspicuous notice, in language substantially similar to that contained in this Addendum, to all of Customer’s employees, agents, contractors, guests, invitees or any other person accessing the Services under Customer’s account (“Users”). Enhanced 911 Versus Basic or Limited E911. LV Voice’s 911 dialing (“911 Dialing”) is different from traditional 911 service. Customers have access to either basic 911 or Enhanced 911 (“E911”) service, depending on the capability of their Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”) or other emergency center. LV Voice and its underlying carriers and service providers (“Vendors”) have no control over, and shall have no responsibility or liability for, the ability of any PSAP or other emergency call center to provide E911, receive or process any 911 call or any information provided with such call, or provide any level of 911 service. Enhanced 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. Basic and Limited E911 Service. Customers in locations where the emergency center is not equipped to receive, capture, or retain your telephone number and/or address have basic 911 or, to the extent technically feasible, 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 or 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 upgrade to E911 and become capable of receiving all of our customers' information, LV Voice will use commercially reasonable efforts to upgrade customers with basic or limited 911 to E911 service. LV Voice will not give you notice of the upgrade. By using the Services, you authorize LV Voice to disclose your telephone number, name, and address to third parties involved with providing 911 Dialing to you, including, without limitation, our Vendors, call routers, PSAPs, and other call centers and local emergency centers. 911 Dialing is Different Than Traditional 911 Service. You understand and acknowledge, and shall inform all Users of, the important differences in and limitations of, LV Voice’s 911 Dialing as compared with 911 services provided by traditional telephone services. It is your responsibility, in accordance with the instructions that accompany the Service, to provide clear and conspicuous notice to all Users of the limitations and restrictions on 911 Dialing contained in this Addendum. If you would like warning labels to place on the devices used with the Service, contact us at [tel. # and/or email] so that we may obtain such labels from our Vendors. Differences between 911 Dialing using the Services and traditional 911/E911 services include the following, along with other limitations and conditions described in this Addendum: You Must Register Your Physical Location. For each phone line, telephone number, device or seat (each a “Line”) that you utilize with the Services, you must register with LV Voice the physical location (including validated street address, floor and suite/unit/room number) where you or the User will be using the Services with that Line (the “Registered Location”). You can complete the registration of your initial location via the customer support telephone number posted on our website from time to time, by contacting your account manager, or by such other method as we may instruct. It is incumbent on you to confirm the accuracy of your, or the applicable User’s Registered Location. If you or any of your Users have any changes to the physical location where you are using a Line, you must update the Registered Location of such Line by calling the customer support line or emailing your account manager. LV Voice is providing a VoIP Trunking solution for businesses intended strictly for use at the physical address of the business. Users who are residential users or who have nomadic equipment or phones where the calling location changes as the device used with the Service moves to another location should not use LV Voice’s Service. If use the Services from an address not properly registered with LV Voice, 911 calls made may be sent to an emergency center near your old address unless you update the Registered Location. You acknowledge and agree that LV Voice may incur charges for misdelivered calls or calls delivered to the national emergency call center and you agree that you will pay LV Voice for any such costs or charges upon demand. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, you attempt to use the service in a nomadic manner, or over multiple devices, you understand and acknowledge that a Voice Service Line cannot be used from multiple devices, and you are solely responsible for ordering and paying the costs associated with, a sufficient number of telephone numbers to permit operation of the Voice Service from any device on which you try to access it. LV Voice does not guarantee that any device not provided by it will be compatible with the Service. If Customer fails to provide an accurate physical address, fails to provide any address at all or fails to update the Registered Location of a Line when such Line is moved to a new location and dials 911, 911 calls will not be routed to the appropriate PSAP or other emergency center. LV Voice reserves the right to charge Customer for any or all costs incurred by LV Voice, including without limitation charges imposed by third party carriers or service providers, in the event that Customer uses or attempts to use 911 Dialing without registering or updating a Registered Location for each Line as required by this paragraph. Outages May Disrupt LV Voice’s Service and/or E911 Dialing. 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 Services, 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(s) used with the Services prior to utilizing the Services, including 911 Dialing. Service Outages Due to Internet Outage or Suspension or Disconnection of Broadband Service or Internet Service LV Voice ("ISP") Service. Service outages or suspensions or disconnections of service by the underlying broadband provider or ISP , for any reason including without limitation your failure to timely pay for services, will prevent all LV Voice Services, including 911 Dialing, from functioning. Service Outage Due to Disconnection of Your LV Voice Account. Service outages due to disconnection, termination or temporary suspension of your account for any reason, including without limitation non-payment or violations of our Acceptable Use Policy, will prevent all LV Voice Services, including 911 Dialing, from functioning. Service Outages Due to Customer Premise Equipment, ISP or Broadband LV Voice Blocking of Ports or Other Acts. Your firewall, ISP, broadband provider or other third party may intentionally or inadvertently block the ports over which the Services are provided or otherwise impede the usage of the the Services, including 911 Dialing. If you suspect this has happened to you, you should alert us to this situation, and we will work with you to attempt to resolve the issue. During the period that the ports are being blocked or your LV Voice Services are impeded, the Services, including 911 Dialing, may not function. You acknowledge that LV Voice is not responsible for the blocking of ports by any firewall or third party or any other impediment to your usage of our Services, and any loss of our Services, 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 LV Voice service, you will continue to be responsible for payment for the LV Voice service charges unless and until you disconnect the LV Voice’s service in accordance with the terms of our Terms of Service. Other Service Outages. If there is a service outage for any reason, such outage will prevent all LV Voice’s 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 policy. Network Congestion May Reduce Speed of 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 LV Voice’s Services as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks. Changes to Your Address or Use of a Non-Native Number May Cause Delays in Assistance. Changes to your Registered Location as described above require processing, and delays in updating your new address in an applicable automatic location information (ALI) database may impair or restrict the ability of emergency personnel to help you. You should allow at least 12-24 hours for the ALI database to update before your new Registered Location will be available to emergency personnel, where available. In addition, if you move to a location that uses a different area code, exchange or other number system from the telephone number that has been assigned to you, processing your emergency call may be delayed by a local emergency center. 911 Dynamic Location Routing 911 dynamic location routing enables users of the Services to send a header containing an address that will override the Registered Location for that telephone number/DID. If the DID the User is dialing from isn’t registered with a Registered Location, you will be charged a fee as described in the paragraph captioned “You Must Register Your Physical Location.” Additionally, if the DID the User is dialing from isn’t registered with an address, the call may go a national call center to attempt to route the call to the correct emergency service provider and the address provided in the header will be ignored. If the User sends the header incorrectly or if LV Voice’s provider cannot locate the address, it will default to the address that the User registered. Users are responsible for ensuring that the header/address being sent has been confirmed by dialing “933” to test service. Direct Access to 9-1-1 Service Required A law called “Kari’s Law” is effective at the federal level and governs 911 dialing by multiline telephone systems (“MLTS”), which includes IP enabled services as well as traditional multiline services such as PBXs. Various states have requirements similar to Kari’s Law. Certain of these state laws require LV Voice to provide our customers in such states with notification of the statutory provisions contained in Kari’s Law. Kari’s Law provides that: A business owner or operator that owns or controls an MLTS and provides outbound dialing capacity or access shall be required to configure the MLTS to allow a person initiating a 9-1-1 call on the system to directly access 9-1-1 without an additional code, digit, prefix, postfix, or trunk-access code. A business owner or operator that provides residential or business facilities utilizing an MLTS shall configure the telephone or equivalent system to provide a notification to a central location on the site of the residential or business facility when a person within the residential or business facility dials 9-1-1, provided that the business owner or operator’s system is able to be configured to provide such notification without an improvement to the system’s hardware. The requirement of this subsection does not require a business owner or operator to have a person available at the central location to receive such notification. If you subscribe to a LV Voice systems of multiple Lines, you agree that you will comply with the foregoing requirements. You will be responsible for managing and directing the configuration and operation of any MLTS Service ordered by you. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer will be responsible for managing its use of the Services and its operation of all equipment and devices used with the Services in accordance with all applicable laws. Customer’s obligations shall include, without limitation, (a) designating one or more administrators who are authorized to order Lines or modifications to the Services, or to reconfigure hardware used with the Services; (b) determining the number of Lines required for Customer’s needs, the assignment and re-assignment of Lines among its Users, and changes in the number, location or other characteristics of Lines required; and (c) the day-to-day operations of the Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a separate telephone/DID must be purchased and assigned to each device that is capable of or configured to place outbound calls to the public switched telephone network in order for 911 Dialing to function properly for such device. Outside the United States. If Customer uses the Service from a location outside the United States, Customer will not be able to use 911 Dialing. E911 Provisioning Intervals. Provisioning 911 Dialing may take additional time following the activation of the Service, during which time 911/E911 emergency calling may not be available or additional fees may be incurred. Required Information. In some circumstances, Customer may need to advise emergency service personnel of the nature of the emergency, the Customer's telephone number, or the Customer's physical location. If a call is disconnected for any reason, emergency service personnel may not be able to call the caller back, determine the Customer's physical location, or dispatch emergency personnel to the Customer's location. Physical Location. For E911 Service to work properly, the Registered Location in LV Voice's records MUST correspond to the physical location from which the User uses the Services. A P.O. Box is not sufficient to use as a physical address. The emergency service dispatcher will only send emergency service personnel to Customer’s or the applicable User’s Registered Location. Information. Customer will be responsible for accurately providing LV Voice with all information necessary to ensure the accuracy of each Automatic Location Identification (“ALI”) and Public Safety Answering Position, including, but not limited to, all Direct Inward Dialing ("DID")/Direct Outward Dialing ("DOD") numbers, and a correct and valid emergency response address for each DID/DOD number. Further, Customer must furnish all updates of this information to LV Voice. All of Customer's information must be accurately provided and provisioned in the Automatic Number Identification (“ANI”) database to provide full 911 service functionality. If a 911 call is made from an invalid, non-provisioned, or improperly provisioned telephone number, the call will not be normally and automatically routed to the correct PSAP and may be routed to the backbone E911 provider's 24/7 Emergency Call Routing Center (“ECRC”). In such event, a per-call charge will be billed to Customer at a rate determined by LV Voice from time to time. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold LV Voice, LV Voice’s affiliates, and its Vendors harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, judgments, damages and expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs of litigation, incurred or suffered by such party relating to the failure of Customer to provide LV Voice with accurate database entries and updates thereto. 911 calls rely on the proper assignment of caller ID and calls that are not properly assigned a provisioned number as a caller ID will result in call failures and/or incurred fees. Do not block the telephone number on the handset when dialing 911, and instruct your Users not to do so. Routing Solution. LV Voice's Vendors (which term shall include such Vendor’s affiliates or designated 911 vendor(s)) will generally route VoIP E911 calls by way of native 911 solutions where the Vendor's backbone provider has access to the E911 Service infrastructure. The following limitations apply to Service(s) in regions where a native 911 solution is utilized: In the event of an address geo-coding or Master Street Address Guide ("MSAG") validation failure, the error records cannot be processed in real-time. Commercially reasonable efforts will be made to resolve the records in error. There may be instances that will prevent the correction of errors, causing delays in uploading data into the provisioning system; and The E911 Service is predicated on using primary wireline PSAP boundaries for routing the Service’s emergency calls to the appropriate PSAP. The primary wireline boundary information is collected and is entered into a database for real- time queries for PSAP boundary lookup. Customer acknowledges that primary wireline PSAP boundary data may not be available for the entire United States and that 911 Service is dependent on the PSAPs to provide such information resulting in the use of wireless PSAP boundary data to route a VoIP emergency call. Non-Native Solution. If E911 Service is provided in regions where a non-native 911 solution is utilized, the following limitations apply: E911 Service uses wireless PSAP boundaries when a primary wireline PSAP boundary is not available. Therefore, the 24x7 PSAP provided when a caller places an emergency call may correspond to a PSAP other than the PSAP that would normally receive wireline emergency calls placed from the caller's location. A caller's physical service address and call back number will not be presented to the PSAP; and/or If a caller cannot speak, Customer acknowledges that no information will be provided to the PSAP to contact the caller to obtain information that would automatically allow them to dispatch emergency services to caller’s location. Each PSAP’s internal processes will dictate how the call should or will be handled. Additional Considerations. If an address provided for by Customer or its Users cannot be recognized by the system and/or cannot be geo-coded, neither LV Voice or its third-party carriers, or such other third parties utilized by such carriers, assumes any liability or responsibility for providing emergency calling services for the telephone number associated with such address. In situations where emergency call routing uses ECRC, and if caller cannot speak or identify his or her address; (ii) data connectivity between the address database and the ECRC is interrupted; or (iii) the caller's location information cannot be provided, Customer acknowledges that the LV Voice and any Vendor shall have no ability to assist the caller and Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, hold LV Voice, LV Voice’s affiliates, and its Vendors harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, judgments, damages and expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs of litigation, incurred or suffered by such party as a result of such instances. Customer understands and acknowledges and commits to informing its Users of the nature and limitations of 911 Dialing over the Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that neither LV Voice nor any of its affiliates or Vendors will be liable for any outage (whether of the Services, electrical power or third party networks) and/or inability of a caller to dial 911 or to access emergency service personnel due to the characteristics and limitation of the Services. Customer understands that all calls must be delivered with the appropriate calling party number (“CPN”) representing the caller's actual geographic location. Customer will be responsible for 911 configurations for all active CPNs. “Valid CPN” means the calling party's actual assigned ten (10)-digit telephone number within the North American Numbering Plan assigned by LV Voice, excluding special purpose phone numbers such as 8XX, 950, 555 and N11. Delivery of valid CPN is a material obligation of Customer hereunder and failure to comply shall be deemed a breach of the Terms of Service. For outbound calls other than calls to 911, if Customer does not deliver valid CPN, LV Voice will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the call. For 911 calls, if Customer does not deliver valid CPN, LV Voice cannot complete the call. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold LV Voice, LV Voice’s affiliates, and its Vendors harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, judgments, damages and expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs of litigation, incurred or suffered by such party relating to the failure of Customer to deliver valid CPN. E-911 Secondary Notification Service. When a 911 call is placed using the Services, a non- secure plain text notice may be sent to one or more Customer selected email addresses when the Customer purchases such a Secondary Notification Service from the LV Voice. The LV Voice does not guarantee, however, that any such notice will be sent or reach the Customer selected email addresses. Call Volume. If the number of 911 calls from Customer’s Users exceeds three percent (3%) of the total call records managed on behalf of Customer in LV Voice’s ALI database in any applicable month, LV Voice may charge Customer a surcharge per call, in an amount established by LV Voice from time to time. Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification. LV Voice does not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using LV Voice's 911 Dialing are answered or addressed by any PSAP or other local emergency response center. LV Voice disclaims any and all responsibility for the conduct of PSAP or local emergency response centers. LV Voice relies on third parties to assist it in routing 911 Dialing calls and disclaims any and all liability or responsibility in the event such third party data used to route calls is incorrect or yields an erroneous result. None of LV Voice, its affiliates, or any of their partners, shareholders, members, directors, managers, officers, employees or agents may be held liable for any claim, cause of action, damage, loss, liability, expense, cost, fee, charge, or penalty arising out of or related to your use of 911 Dialing, and by using LV Voice’s Services you hereby waive any and all such claims, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, expenses, costs, fees, charges, or penalties, arising from or relating to LV Voice’s 911 Dialing Service unless such claims, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, expenses, costs, fees, charges, or penalties arose solely from LV Voice’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING OR ANY PROVISION OF THE TERMS OF SERVICE, LV VOICE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, FOR OR REGARDING 911 DIALING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LV Voice, its affiliates, all of their partners, shareholders, members, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents, and any other service provider who furnishes services to you in connection with LV Voice’s Services, from any and all claims, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, expenses, costs, fees, charges, or penalties (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party relating to the absence, failure or outage of the LV Voice’s Service, including 911 Dialing, incorrectly routed 911 Dialing calls, your failure to comply with the terms and limitations in this Addendum, your failure to notify any User of the terms and limitations in this Addendum, and/or the inability of any User of LV Voice’s Service to be able to use 911 Dialing or access emergency service personnel. You May Want to Make Alternate 911 Arrangements or Choose Not to Use LV Voice’s ServiceS. 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 LV Voice’s Service.

Customer’s use of the Service may be subject to certain restrictions and limits, including without limitation as to number of users per subscription and storage, which if applicable will be communicated by Company. If Company determines that Customer has violated or is in violation of this provision, Company will so notify Customer and may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate Customer’s Service. In the event of such termination Customer shall remain bound by its payment obligations for the remainder of the then current month (or other specified term) of Customer’s Service Plan. Customer may not transfer its Service subscription to any other person, company or entity. 3.5Prohibited Uses. Customer agrees not to use the Service in a manner that is actually or potentially libelous, threatening, harmful, harassing, indecent, obscene, in violation of the intellectual property rights of any party, is otherwise unlawful under any applicable law or regulation, or is in violation of the AUP, as the same may be posted from time to time. Customer agrees not to access or attempt to access the Service by any means other than the interface provided by Company, including but not limited to any automated means such as the use of scripts or web crawlers. Customer agrees not to use any trademark, service mark, trade name, or logo of any company or organization in conjunction with the Service in a manner that is likely or intended to cause confusion about the owner or authorized user of such mark, name, or logo. 3.6Company’s Remedies for Prohibited Use. Company may take any lawful action it deems appropriate with respect to prohibited use of the Service or other use of the Service that it deems to be inappropriate, in violation of this Agreement or the AUP, or potentially disruptive to the Service or Company’s or its providers’ network(s), Company’s rights and interests, or the rights of other customers. Company’s remedies for Customer’s prohibited use of the Service include but are not limited to issuing warnings; terminating Customer’s Service, subscription, accounts, or users; disabling access to or suspending the Service, subscription, or accounts; or increasing the monthly rates charged Customer for the period of Customer’s prohibited use and the remainder of the Agreement’s term. Company may take such action without notice or liability to Customer or any other party, although Company shall have no obligation to take any such action. 3.8Support. Company will provide Customer with technical consultation support for the term of the Service. Customer may access technical support by submitting a ticket through the Company’s customer support portal at help.lvvoice.net. 3.9Customer Proprietary Network Information. In the normal course of providing services to its users and customers, Company collects and maintains certain customer proprietary network information (“CPNI”) typical to the US communications industry. CPNI includes the types of telecommunications and interconnected VoIP services Customer currently purchases or subscribes to, how Customer uses those services (for example, Customer’s calling records), and billing information related to those services. Customer’s Company telephone number, name, and address do not constitute CPNI. Company does not sell, trade, or otherwise share Customer’s CPNI with anyone outside of Company and those parties authorized to represent Company to offer Company’s services or to perform functions on Company’s behalf related to Company’s services, except as the law may require or Customer may authorize. US federal law generally permits Company to use CPNI in its provision of the telecommunications and interconnected VoIP services Customer purchases or subscribes to, including billing and collections for those services. Company may also use or disclose Customer CPNI for legal or regulatory reasons such as to respond to a court order, to investigate fraud, to protect Company’s rights or property, to protect against the unlawful use of Company services, or to protect other users. Further detailed information regarding Company’s uses of CPNI is set forth in the Privacy Policy at [url]. Customer may elect to prohibit Company’s use of Customer’s CPNI to market services other than services of the same type that Customer already purchases from Company by providing Company with Customer’s “opt-out” notice within thirty (30) calendar days of Customer’s Service commencement via email at _opt-out@lvvoice.net . If Customer fails to do so within such timeframe, Customer will be deemed to have given Company consent to use Customer’s CPNI to market services other than services of the same type that Customer already purchases from Company. Restricting Company’s use of Customer CPNI will not affect Company’s provision of any service, nor will it necessarily eliminate all types of Company marketing. 4.CUSTOMER’S CONTENT 4.1Customer is solely responsible for the content of all information and communications, whether visual, written, audible, or of other nature, sent, displayed, uploaded, posted, published, or submitted by Customer while utilizing the Service (“Customer’s Content”) and for the consequences of doing so, including any loss or damage to Company or any third parties.

Customer shall not copy, modify, rent, lease, sell, loan, distribute, or create derivative works based in whole or part upon Other Users’ Content unless specifically agreed to by the owners of such Other Users’ Content in a separate written agreement with Customer. 5.3It is Company’s policy to respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable international intellectual property law (including in the United States the Digital Millennium Copyright Act) and to terminate the accounts or subscriptions of repeat infringers. 6.CHARGES AND PAYMENT 6.1Charges. Company will charge Customer’s credit card, or such other payment mechanism as may be approved by Company, for the fees for the Service, including the Service per-user monthly fees and any other fees or charges associated with Customer’s account.

Company will bill any other fees or charges monthly in arrears unless otherwise agreed or specified in writing by Company. Customer will pay all bank charges, taxes, duties, levies and other costs and commissions associated with non-credit card methods of payment.

If, by the end of such 30-day period, Customer fails to pay all amounts then due plus the recovery fee in full, Company may terminate Service to the Customer upon written notice, and Company may thereafter release Customer’s telephone number(s) for reassignment. Customer will not be able to recover its telephone number(s) thereafter. 6.4Billing Disputes.

Unless Customer provides Company with a current tax exemption certificate, Customer is solely responsible for paying all legally required taxes, including without limitation any state or local sales, excise, and/or other taxes and fees which may be levied upon the Service, except for any income tax assessed upon Company. 6.6Regulatory Fees. Company may charge Customer any fees, assessments, surcharges or other amounts which may be assessed on the Company or on or in connection with the Services by any regulatory body or in connection with any regulatory program, including without limitation any applicable federal or state Universal Service Fund contributions. Company may also charge a monthly regulatory recovery fee to offset costs it incurs in complying with obligations imposed by, and inquiries made by, federal, state, and municipal regulatory bodies/governments and related legal and billing expenses. This fee is not a tax or charge required or assessed by any government. If assessed by Company, the regulatory recovery fee will apply to every directly dialable telephone number (in certain cases referred to as DID-phone numbers) assigned to Customer, including toll free and virtual numbers. 7.SERVICE LEVELS AND SERVICE AVAILABILITY 7.1Service Level. Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Service meets a Service Level Objective (“SLO”) of 90% uptime as stated in section 7.2, unless such failure is caused by events beyond Company’s control, such as those enumerated in section 7.3 or due to scheduled maintenance. Company makes no representation or warranty that the Service will be available at all times and temporary disruptions in Service shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. EXCEPT AS EXPESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON A “BEST EFFORTS” BASIS, “AS IS,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS.” NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELIEF SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.2 SHALL BE CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THE FAILURE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE. 7.2Service Availability and Credits. The Company SLO stated in terms of Service Availability shall be deemed to be in an outage condition if Customer is unable to receive and initiate VoIP communications traffic 98% of the time measured cumulatively on a calendar month basis (“Outage”). Customer is entitled to credit equal to the pro rata amount of Customer’s monthly fee per hour of any Outage (“Outage Credit”) in the event of an SLO Outage condition, not to exceed Customer’s monthly recurring charges for the month in which the SLO Outage occurs. An Outage shall be deemed to commence upon Company’s verification of the trouble as stated in the trouble ticket submitted by Customer; this verification will be conducted by Company’s network operator. An Outage shall be deemed to terminate upon the closing of the same trouble ticket (or the termination of the downtime, if sooner), less any time Company is awaiting additional information or premise testing from Customer. The duration of the Outage period and eligibility for Outage Credits will be determined at the sole discretion of Company, based upon Company’s internal records. Customer shall have the right to request Outage Credit(s) for a period of thirty (30) days after the date of the reported occurrence. Customer shall have the right to contest any calculations of credit(s) for a period of thirty (30) days after the application of such credit(s) to Customer’s account. The Outage Credits shall be Company’s sole liability and Customer’s sole remedy in the event of any Outage period or interruption of Service. 7.3No Outage Credits. There shall be no Outage Credits for Outages: (i)Caused directly or indirectly by the acts or omissions of Customer; (ii)Caused by the failure of equipment or systems provided by Customer or any third party (not under the direction or control of Company); (iii)Caused by a Force Majeure event as defined in Section 22.3; (iv)Occurring with respect to a request or an order from Customer for a change in the Service; or (v)Occurring while Customer is in breach of the Agreement. 7.4MAINTENANCE AND MODIFICATIONS TO SERVICE. Company may at any time and without liability modify, expand, improve, maintain, or repair the Service or Company facilities even if such activity might result in temporary suspension(s) of the operation of the Service. Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the Service to Customer and shall use its best efforts to give Customer commercially reasonable notice of a maintenance period prior to the disruption by telephone (real-time or voicemail), facsimile, or e-mail. Credits will not be issued with respect to such Service interruptions if Company has used commercially reasonable efforts to so notify Customer in accordance with this paragraph. 8.COMPANY’S IP RIGHTS 8.1Company’s IP.

Subject to Section 21.3, all Disputes, including without limitation those regarding the formation, interpretation, breach or termination hereof, or any issue regarding whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration hereunder, that cannot be settled by good faith negotiation between the parties within a reasonable period of time, will be conclusively determined by a final and binding arbitration proceeding to take place in Willmar, Minnesota. Such proceeding will be conducted in English and administered by JAMS pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect, or in the event one of the parties is located outside of the United States, pursuant to the JAMS International Arbitration Rules then in effect, before a panel of one arbitrator chosen in accordance with such rules.

The ruling by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties or any of their assets. The parties will evenly split the cost of the arbitrator’s fees, but each party will bear their own attorneys' fees and other costs associated with the arbitration. The parties agree that this arbitration provision may be enforced by injunction or other equitable order, and no bond or security of any kind will be required with respect to any such injunction or order. The parties, their representatives, other participants and the arbitrator will hold the existence, content and result of arbitration in confidence. 21.3Injunctive Relief.

Company may partner with others or subcontract any or all of its obligations under the Agreement but will retain its responsibility to Customer for the timely performance of the work necessary to the provision of Service properly paid for by Customer. 22.3Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure in performance to the extent the delay or failure is caused by events beyond the party’s reasonable control, including without limitation, fire, flood, Act of God, explosion, war or the engagement of hostilities, strike, embargo, labor dispute, government requirement, civil disturbances, civil or military authority, and inability to secure materials, systems, subsystems, components, underlying services or transportation facilities (“Force Majeure”). 22.4Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be deemed properly made when delivered by email, messenger, overnight courier, or mailed via Certified or Registered Mail (Return Receipt Requested) if to Customer: to the information Company has on file; and if to Company: to LV Voice, LLC, 3019 Exeter RD, Greensburg, PA 15601, Attn: Cynthia Dorazio. Notices will be considered effective when sent or posted. 22.5Entire Agreement. The Agreement, including any Attachments and the policies referenced herein, constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement and will supersede all previous and contemporaneous communications, representations or understandings, oral and/or written, between the parties relating to that subject matter and will not be contradicted or supplemented by any prior course of dealing between the parties. If any provision of the Agreement is determined to be unenforceable or invalid by court decision, the Agreement will not be rendered unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and the original unenforceable provision will be changed only minimally as required for it to be enforceable and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision within the limits of applicable law. The failure of either party to assert any of its rights under the Agreement, including, but not limited to, the right to terminate the Agreement in the event of breach or default by the other party, will not be deemed to constitute a continuing or permanent waiver by that party of its right to enforce each and every provision of the Agreement in accordance with their terms.
