These
Terms of Service constitute the agreement ("Agreement") between
CoreDial, LLC ("we," "us" or "CoreDial") and the user ("you," "user" or
"Customer") of CoreDial's business services and any related products or
services ("Service"). This Agreement governs
both the Service and any devices, such as an IP phone, Multimedia
Terminal Adapter, Analog Telephone Adapter, switch, router or any other
IP connection device ("Device" or "Equipment"), used in conjunction
with the Service. If you purchased Equipment from a dealer, retail
store or other provider other than CoreDial, you are a "Retail
Customer" for purposes of this Agreement. BY
ACTIVATING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL
AGE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND
AND FULLY ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
1. EMERGENCY SERVICES - 911 DIALING 1.1
Non-Availability of Traditional 911 or E911 Dialing Service. The
Service does not support traditional 911 or E911 access to emergency
services in all locations. Where we do not offer traditional 911 or
E911 access, we offer a feature known as "911 Dialing" which is a
limited emergency calling service available only on CoreDial,
LLC-certified Devices or Equipment. The 911 Dialing feature may not
work at all when used in conjunction with a Soft Phone, Virtual Numbers
or Subscriber provided Customer Premise Equipment. Our 911 Dialing
feature is not automatic; you must separately take affirmative steps,
as described in this Agreement and on our website, to register the
address where you will use the Services in order to activate the 911
Dialing feature. You must do this for each CoreDial, LLC phone number
that you obtain. The 911 Dialing feature of the Service is different in
a number of important ways from traditional 911 or E911 service as
described on our website page for 911 Dialing under "Features," and
below. You shall inform any household residents, guests and other third
persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize
the Service of (i) the non-availability of traditional 911 or E911, and
(ii) the important differences in and limitations of the CoreDial, LLC
911 Dialing feature as compared with traditional 911 or E911 dialing.
The documentation that accompanies each Device that you purchase should
include a sticker concerning the potential non-availability of
traditional 911 or E911 dialing (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 at (484)784-4300. 1.2 Registration of
Physical Location Required. For each phone number that you use for the
Service, you must register with CoreDial, LLC the physical location
where you will be using the Service with that phone number. When you
move the Device to another location, you must register your new
location. If you do not register your new location, any call you make
using the 911 Dialing feature may be sent to an emergency center near
your old address. You will register your initial location of use when
you subscribe to the Service. Thereafter, you may register a new
location by following the instructions from the "911" registration link
on your CoreDial, LLC web account dashboard features page. For purposes
of the 911 Dialing feature, you may only register one location at a
time for each phone line you use with the Service.
1.3 Confirmation of Activation Required. Your 911 Dialing feature will
not be activated for any phone line that you are using with the
Service, unless and until you receive an email from us confirming that
the 911 Dialing feature has been activated for that phone line.
1.4 How Emergency Personnel are Contacted. We contract with a
third party to use the address of your registered location to determine
the nearest emergency response center and then forward your call to a
general number at that center. When the center receives your call, the
operator will not have your address and may not have your phone number.
You must therefore provide your address and phone number in order to
get help. Some local emergency response centers may decide not to have
their general numbers answered by live operators 24 hours a day. If we
learn that this is the case, we will send your call instead to a
national emergency calling center and a trained agent will contact an
emergency center near you to dispatch help. You hereby authorize us to
disclose your name and address to third-party service providers,
including, without limitation, call routers, call centers and public
service answering points, for the purpose of dispatching emergency
services personnel to your registered location.
1.5 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 Termination of Broadband Service or ISP
Service. Service outages or suspensions or terminations of service by
your broadband provider or ISP will prevent all Service, including 911
Dialing, from functioning. (c) Service Outage Due to
Suspension or Termination of Your CoreDial, LLC Account. Service
outages due to suspension or termination 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 or 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. In that
event, provided that you alert us to this situation, we will attempt to
work with you to resolve the issue. During the period that the ports
are being blocked or your Service is impeded, and unless and until the
blocking or impediment is removed or the blocking or impediment is
otherwise resolved, your Service, including the 911 Dialing feature,
may not function. You acknowledge that CoreDial, LLC is not responsible
for the blocking of ports by your ISP or broadband provider or any
other impediment to your usage of the Service, and any loss of service,
including 911 Dialing, that 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 unless and until you terminate the Service in
accordance with this Agreement. (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 Agreement. 1.6 Re-Activation
Required if You Change Your Number or Add or Port New Numbers. 911
Dialing does not function if you change your phone number or if you add
or port new phone numbers to your account, unless and until you
successfully register your location of use for each changed, newly
added or newly ported phone number. 1.7 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. 1.8 Possible Lack of
Automatic Number Identification. It may or may not be possible for the
local emergency personnel to automatically obtain your phone number
when you use 911 Dialing. Our system is configured to send the
automatic number identification information; however, one or more
telephone companies, not us, route the traffic to the emergency
response center and that center may not be capable of receiving and
passing on that information. As a result, the operator who answers your
911 Dialing call may not be able to automatically obtain your phone
number and call you back if the call is not completed or is not
forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, if you are unable to speak to
tell the operator your phone number, or if the Service is not
operational for any reason. 1.9 No Automated
Location Identification. In most service areas, it is not possible at
this time to transmit to the local emergency response center the
address that you registered for 911 Dialing. You will need to state the
nature of your emergency promptly and clearly, including your location
(and possibly your telephone number), as the operator will not have
this information. Emergency personnel will not be able to find your
location if the call is not completed or is not forwarded, is dropped
or disconnected, if you are unable to speak to tell the operator your
location, or if the Service is not operational for any reason.
1.10 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 CoreDial, LLC 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 CoreDial,
LLC, 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. 1.11 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 terminating the Service.
2. SERVICE 2.1 Term. Service is offered
on a monthly or multi-month basis as is determined in your Service
activation or order form, or via our online ordering process. The term

Agreement automatically renew on a monthly basis unless you give us
written notice of non-renewal at least ten (10) days before the end of
the monthly term in which the notice is given. You are purchasing the
Service for full monthly terms, meaning that if you attempt to
terminate Service prior to the end of a monthly term, you will be
responsible for the full month's charges to the end of the then-current
term, including, without limitation, unbilled charges, plus a
termination fee, if applicable, all of which will immediately become

(including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing
calls or calling card calls). The Service may not support 311, 511
and/or other x11 (other than certain specified dialing such as 911 and
411, which are provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) services in
one or more (or all) service areas. 2.15 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

compatible with 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 alarm monitoring or
security system with the Service. (b) Certain Broadband and

services and expressly disclaim any express or implied warranties
regarding the compatibility of the Service with any particular
broadband service. 3. CHARGES; PAYMENTS; TAXES;

replaced on account of loss or theft, you must advise us at once. We

frequent intervals if the amount you owe to us at any time exceeds
$250. Any usage charges will be billed in increments that are rounded
up to the nearest minute except as otherwise set forth in the rate
schedules found on our website. 3.2 Billing

receiving your credit or debit card statement if you dispute any
CoreDial charges on that statement or you will be deemed to have waived

3.3 Payment and Collection. (a) Payment.
We only accept payment by credit or debit card, unless other payment
terms have been explicitly agreed to in writing by CoreDial, LLC. Your
subscription to the Service authorizes us to charge your credit or
debit card. This authorization will remain valid until 30 days after we
receive written notice from you terminating our authority to charge
your credit or debit card, whereupon we will charge your credit or
debit card for the termination fee, if applicable, and any other
outstanding charges and terminate you Service. We may terminate your
Service at any time in our sole and absolute discretion if any charge
to your credit or debit card is declined or reversed, your credit or

replacement credit or debit card or in case of any other non-payment of
account charges. (b) Collection. If your Service is
terminated, you will remain fully liable to us for all charges pursuant
to this Agreement and any and all costs we incur to collect such

portion of the final month's charges. If your Service is terminated on
account of your breach of any provision of this Agreement, you will be

addition to payment for the Service or Devices and will be billed to
your credit card as set forth in this Agreement. If you are exempt from
payment of such taxes, you must provide us with an original certificate

status. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date we
receive such certificate. 3.6 Termination Fee. You

and the FULL RETAIL PRICE for each Device supplied by CoreDial if your
Service is terminated for any reason during the Term following the
activation of your Service. 3.7 Money Back

terminate or revoke this money back guarantee at any time, without
prior notice. 3.8 Payphone Charges. If you use our
"Toll Free" feature or any toll free feature that we offer in the
future, we will be entitled to recover from you any charges imposed on
us either directly or indirectly in connection with toll free calls
made to your number. We may recover these amounts by means of a
per-call charge, rounded up to the next cent, or in such other fashion
as we deem appropriate for the recovery of these costs.
