1. EMERGENCY SERVICES - 911 DIALING

• 1.1 911 Dialing.
  
  PhonePower uses the same national 911 network that all traditional telephone companies use. Be aware that 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. Service outages or suspensions or disconnections of service by your broadband provider or ISP will prevent all Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning. Disconnection of your account will prevent all Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning. 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. 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 Service is impeded, your Service, including 911 Dialing, may not function. You acknowledge that PhonePower 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 unless and until you disconnect the Service in accordance with this Agreement. 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.
  
  You authorize us to disclose your name and address to third-parties involved with providing 911 Dialing to you, including, by way of illustration but not limitation, call routers, call centers and local emergency centers.
  
  
• 1.2 Registration of Physical Location Required. . For each phone line that you utilize with the Service, you must register the physical location where you will be using the Service with us. 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 physical address through your online account and update it if you have any changes, additions or transfers of phone numbers. 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 your old address. You may update a location by logging on to your online account. For purposes of 911 Dialing, you may only register one location at a time for each phone line.
  
  
• 1.3 Alternate 911 Arrangements. If you are not comfortable with the limitations of the 911 Dialing service, you should make arrangements for an alternate means of accessing traditional 911 or E911 services or disconnecting the Service. You understand that additional arrangements should be made to access emergency services. To access emergency services, you acknowledge and accept that it is your sole responsibility to purchase, with a third-party separately from PhonePower, traditional wireless or wireline telephone service that offers access to emergency services. You further recognize that PhonePower is not a replacement for your primary telephone service and you are hereby advised to maintain a traditional wireline or wire-based telephone service at all times. By agreeing to these terms of service and by your use of the Device, you acknowledge and accept that the Device may not support or provide emergency service at all times. You represent and warrant to PhonePower that you already have made additional arrangements with a third party to access emergency services.
  
  
• 1.4 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.
  
  
• 1.5 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 expressly disclaim any and all responsibility for the conduct of such 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 PhonePower nor any of its officers, directors, members 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 arise from our gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PhonePower, its officers, directors, members, 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.
  
  
• 1.6 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 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.
  
  

2. SERVICE. PhonePower will provide you with digital phone service, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Service"). We recommend waiting until the Service is installed and tested for a few weeks before assuming that the Service will be available and of good quality.

3. SUBSCRIBER INFORMATION. You acknowledge that you are eighteen (18) years of age or older, and you agree that you have the legal authority to enter into this Agreement and affirm that the information you supply to us is correct and complete. You understand that PhonePower relies on the information you supply and that providing false or incorrect information may result in Service delays or the suspension or termination of your Service. You agree to promptly notify PhonePower whenever your personal or billing information changes, including without limitation, your name, address, telephone number, and credit card number and expiration date, if applicable.

4. GENERAL PRICING AND FEES. PhonePower's prices are shown in the Pricing Schedule and you will be charged based on the Plan and Options you select during the ordering process. A Subscriber who selects a "Month to Month" Plan (a "Monthly Subscriber") will pay the monthly price(s) listed on the Pricing Schedule corresponding to the Plan and Options chosen by such Monthly Subscriber at the time of order. However, such monthly prices are subject at any time to increase to PhonePower's then current prices. A Subscriber who selects a "1 Year Contract" Plan (a "Contract Subscriber") will pay the monthly price(s) listed on the Pricing Schedule corresponding to the Plan and Options chosen by such Contract Subscriber at the time of order. Such monthly prices for Contract Subscribers are guaranteed for the initial twelve (12) month Term. Following the initial twelve (12) month Term, a Contract Subscriber will automatically become a Monthly Subscriber and will pay PhonePower's then current prices, subject to increase as described above, unless such Subscriber registers for a new "1 Year Contract" Plan at such time, to the extent available. A Subscriber who selects a "Prepaid" Plan (a "Prepaid Subscriber") will pay the full amount listed on the Pricing Schedule corresponding to the Plan and Options chosen by such Prepaid Subscriber at the time of order. Following the initial prepaid Term, as defined by the Plan and Options selected, a Prepaid Subscriber will automatically become a Monthly Subscriber and will pay PhonePower's then current prices, subject to increase as described above, unless such Subscriber registers for a new "Prepaid" Plan at such time, to the extent available. From time to time PhonePower may offer promotional packages to entice new customers to join. Unless otherwise stated, these promotional packages are not valid for existing customers. In addition to regular fees set forth in the Pricing Schedule, you agree to pay all other charges, including but not limited to network usage, applicable taxes, fees and surcharges, including charges imposed against PhonePower by third party providers that it passes on to you. The taxes and surcharges may vary on a monthly basis and may change at any time without notice; any variations will be reflected in your monthly charge. The current Regulatory Recovery Fee is two dollars and 97 cents ($2.97) for all clients. E911 Recovery Fee is one dollar and ninety-nine cents ($1.99) for all clients in the US. You agree to pay all other charges, including but not limited to applicable taxes, fees and surcharges, including charges imposed against PhonePower by third party providers that it passes on to you. The taxes and surcharges may vary on a monthly basis and may change at any time without notice; any variations will be reflected in your monthly charge. When possible, Broadvoice will break out such charges on the monthly invoice. Contract period and billing for service will begin upon service activation.

• 4.1 Taxes and Fees on Free Services. Any plan that comes with free service will be assessed applicable taxes, surcharges, and fees periodically, based on the details of the plan selected. These fees will be calculated based on the standard price for the service. Services are subject to suspension and termination if balances are not paid in a timely manner per Section 4 of PhonePower's Terms of Service.
  
  

5. PAYMENT, LATE FEES AND OTHER CHARGES. There is no money back guarantee for any Services unless specifically written in a special one time promotion. There are no pro-rated refunds for unused time. All services will be charged via automatic credit card withdrawal. Unless otherwise stated in the Pricing Schedule, PhonePower will invoice and charge Subscribers monthly. Subscribers are responsible for paying monthly subscription fees while Services are suspended due to non-payment. In the event that an account is terminated for any reason with an outstanding balance, PhonePower will continue to electronically charge the credit card on file for the outstanding balance until all balances are fully resolved. All disconnected accounts and all accounts suspended for non-payment are subject to a fifteen dollar ($15.00) reconnection fee. Any requests for a change in telephone number are subject to a fifteen dollar ($15.00) change fee. Subscribers are responsible for any disputed charges beyond sixty (60) days from the date of the charge. Any account which goes into collection status will be transferred to a collection agency and incur a twenty-five dollar ($25.00) processing fee and all other applicable fees and charges. Subscribers must pay a twenty-five dollar ($25.00) service charge on disputed credit cards and credit card chargebacks. Past due accounts will accrue a monthly charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the past due balance or one dollar ($1.00), whichever is greater.

You are responsible for all charges attributable to your account incurred with respect to the Services. You agree to notify PhonePower immediately, in writing or by calling the PhonePower customer care line at (888)607-6937, if you become aware at any time that Services are being stolen or fraudulently used. You are responsible for all usage charges attributable to your account, even if incurred as the result of fraudulent or unauthorized use by third parties, until you report the theft or fraudulent use of the Services. You are solely responsible for securing all passwords and access numbers to guard against and prevent unauthorized access to Services by third parties. PhonePower, may, but is not obligated to, detect or report unauthorized use or fraudulent use of Services. You agree to save, defend, indemnify and hold PhonePower harmless from all claims, costs, liabilities and damages arising out of such fraudulent use.

• 5.1 Long Distance. Unlike most telephone service providers, PhonePower provides all local and long distance minutes within the continental US as a bundle within your package. Actual long distance minutes are measured but not charged as long as the client remains below their specific plan’s usage thresholds.
  
  
• 5.2 Minutes Of Use Per Month. All standard Residential and Small Business Plans, unless otherwise noted include 5,000 minutes of outbound use per month. If a line exceeds 5,000 minutes per month, from your bill date, PhonePower reserves the right to notify the client and bill for excess minutes at $0.02 per minute.
  
  
• 5.3 International Calling. International calling is enabled by default. Customers may enable or disable it at anytime by logging into their My Account page. All International calls are billed at their respective international rates which are updated on the first Tuesday of each month. Any and all call charges are rounded to the nearest whole penny. Each customer account is given a credit limit for international calls. If an international calling balance exceeds the credit limit prior to their next bill date, the account will be charged the balance immediately. Failure to pay will result in suspension of service. All international calls are subject to an FCC-mandated 15.5% Universal Service Fund tax. This rate changes quarterly based on the information located at the FCC Website.
  
  
• 5.4 Free International Calling. All PhonePower plans that include more than 500 minutes receive 60 minutes of free international calling to qualifying destinations every monthly bill cycle. 500 and Metered Rate plans do not receive any Free International Minutes. Premium International plans include 1200 minutes of free international calling to qualifying destinations each month. Details of qualifying destinations can be found using the International Phone Number and Rate Lookup tool, located on PhonePower's International Page. These rates and qualifying destinations are subject to change on the 1st Tuesday of each month. This tool is the final arbiter of which phone numbers qualify for Free International Minutes. After the allotted minutes of qualifying calls have been made each month, standard billing will commence using the listed rates for each destination.
  
  
• 5.5 Directory Assistance and Operator Services. Directory Assistance is charged at $0.99 per call and $0.10 per minute after two minutes. Directory Assistance is enabled by default on all new phone lines. Operator calls are billed at $3.00 per call. Operator calling is disabled by default on all new phone lines, but may be activated using the My Account Dialing Options.
  
  
• 5.6 Call Forwarding. Certain features such as call forwarding may incur outgoing minutes automatically when they are enabled. All forwarded calls count against standard minute usage caps. Before activating these features, consider this usage and whether it will affect your usage thresholds.
  
  
• 5.7 Toll-Free Numbers. Toll Free numbers can be attached to any PhonePower service plan. Toll-Free numbers cost $5 per month plus $0.04 per minute, billed in 1 minute increments.
  
  

  Terminating Destination	Initial Billing Increment (seconds)	Additional Billing Increments (seconds)	Rate per Minute
  Toll-Free (Inbound)	60	6	$0.04

  
  
  
• 5.8 Billing Increments. Any and all call charges are rounded to the nearest whole penny. Current billing increments for available new plans are as follows:
  
  

  Terminating Destination	Initial Billing Increment (seconds)	Additional Billing Increments (seconds)	Rate per Minute
  U.S. Domestic & Canada	60	60	$0.02
  Calling a Toll-Free Number	0	0	FREE
  PhonePower to PhonePower	0	0	FREE
  International (Excluding Mexico)	60	6	See International Rates
  Mexico	60	60	See International Rates
  U.S. Domestic SIP Trunking	6	6	varies by plan

  
  
  
• 5.9 Answer to Seizure Ratio (ASR). For each billing cycle, if more than 20% of a Subscriber's traffic is 6 seconds or less in duration, PhonePower shall charge an additional one-cent ($0.01) per call for all calls that are 6 seconds or less above the 20% limit. Subscriber acknowledges that calls that surpass the call duration threshold and are charged accordingly, as defined above, are due and owing to PhonePower. These charges are non-negotiable and Subscriber waives the right to dispute these valid charges.
  
  
• 5.10 Reasonable Use Policy. Because over 98% of PhonePower's residential unlimited calling plan customers use less than 4000 minutes per month and do not have any unusual usage patterns, a customer's aggregate usage may be considered outside of normal use if it exceeds 4000 minutes per month. Based on such usage, PhonePower may determine that abnormal or unreasonable usage is occurring, and may charge an overage fee of $0.02 per minute over 4000 minutes, or take appropriate steps to enforce this Policy and the Terms of Service ("PhonePower's Rights") including suspension or cancellation of service.
  
  
• 5.11 Click2Call. Click2Call calls are always two physical calls, one to the source number and one to the destination number. Both of these calls are evaluated for billing and accounting purposes separately.
  
  

  Source	Destination	Minute Accounting
  PhonePower	PhonePower	No Minute Usage
  PhonePower	non-PhonePower	Length of Call
  non-PhonePower	non-PhonePower	Double Length of Call

  
  
• 5.12 Unprovisioned 911 Calls. For each billing cycle, if a Subscriber places one or more 911 calls but does not have a valid 911 address on file with PhonePower, PhonePower shall charge $75 for each call placed. These charges are non-negotiable and Subscriber waives the right to dispute these valid charges.
  
  

6. EQUIPMENT. PhonePower provides the option to lease the Subscriber either a new or used ATA (Phone Adapter), combination ATA and router, or other equipment for using the Service. All used equipment is provided on as-is basis and you agree to hold PhonePower harmless for any defective equipment. Defective equipment, including the original power supply, must be returned to PhonePower at PhonePower’s expense via a provided UPS shipping label within 30 days of receiving the replacement device. In the event of Service termination by either Subscriber or PhonePower, Subscriber must return to PhonePower all leased equipment (ATAs, routers, phones, etc) , including the original power supplies, in undamaged, usable condition at Subscriber's expense within thirty (30) days of termination. In the event Subscriber does not return the leased hardware to PhonePower in working condition within such thirty (30) day period, Subscriber must pay ninety-nine dollars and ninety cents ($99.90) plus applicable taxes per unreturned device to purchase the ATA(s) or combination ATA and router(s) from PhonePower. In the event Subscriber does not return all original power supplies to PhonePower, Subscriber must pay a ten dollar ($10.00) Replacement Fee per unreturned power supply at the time the hardware is checked-in. Returned equipment check-in can take up to 3 business days from the date of receipt. Hardware purchased at a retail location or directly from PhonePower is owned by the customer and is exempt from the hardware return policy.

• 6.1 Subscriber Supplied Equipment. PhonePower provides the option for Subscribers to supply their own ATA (Phone Adapter). If a Subscriber supplies their own ATA, the Subscriber assumes the risk of service incompatibility. Incompatible Subscriber ATAs or other Subscriber equipment shall not relieve Subscribers from any of their obligations under this Agreement while troubleshooting defective or incompatible equipment even if Subscriber's Service is down during such periods of troubleshooting. The current list of equipment that is compatible and approved for use with Phone Power's service can be found at www.phonepower.com/hardware.aspx. PhonePower reserves the right to add or remove equipment to this list at any time. PhonePower reserves the right to alter the software on Subscriber's ATA in order to guarantee compatibility with PhonePower's service. Any device used with PhonePower's service must not be locked or currently provisioned to any other provider and you must have the admin password for said device. Any device received from another VoIP provider will most likely NOT work due to this restriction.
  
  
• 6.2 Converting From Subscriber Supplied Equipment to PhonePower Supplied Equipment. Should a Subscriber who has supplied their own hardware wish to instead utilize PhonePower's leased equipment, this option is available by contacting our Support Department. Subscriber must authorize PhonePower to charge their account a one-time fee for shipping and handling of this equipment, based on the current shipping rates for new customers. This hardware is provided on a free-lease basis, subject to the terms and conditions described in Section 6.0 of this Agreement.
  
  
• 6.3 Converting From PhonePower Supplied Equipment to Subscriber Supplied Equipment. Subscribers may convert from PhonePower Supplied Equipment to their own equipment by contacting our Support department. Any Leased equipment must be returned to Phone Power within 30 days of converting to Subscriber Supplied Equipment.
  
  
• 6.4 Equipment Replacement. If any PhonePower supplied equipment appears to be malfunctioning, the Subscriber must contact Technical Support and work with them to determine if the device is in need of replacement. Only a Technical Support representative has the ability to determine if a device is in need of replacement. If a device is determined to have malfunctioned due to manufacturer defect, a free replacement will be provided at PhonePower's expense. If a device is determined to have malfunctioned for any other reason, including but not limited to incorrect power supply, customer negligence, and damage from house wiring, Subscriber must pay a $49.95 damaged device fee. After paying the damaged device fee, a Subscriber has several replacement options:
  
  
  • Subscriber may request a new Free Lease as detailed in Section 6 above, plus $14.95 Shipping and Handling
  • Subscriber may lease a refurbished ATA from PhonePower for free, plus $7.95 Shipping and Handling charge
  • Subscriber may opt to provide their own device, as specified in Section 6.1 above
  
  
• 6.5 Expedited Replacements and New Leases. Any customer who is receiving a new lease or replacement device has the option to request expedited shipping. To authorize expedited shipping, Subscriber must agree to one of the following charges, in addition to the appropriate standard Shipping and Handling fee:
  
  
  • UPS 3-Day Select - $20
  • UPS 2nd Day Air - $30
  • UPS Next Day Air Saver - $40
  
  
• 6.6 SIP Credentials. Residential Subscribers on PhonePower's Aquarius platform may choose to have their SIP Credentials enabled via their My Account portal. To enable SIP Credentials, Subscriber must understand and agree that PhonePower will not offer any technical support for any Subscriber device(s) using hand-configured credentials. PhonePower will continue to offer normal support for all auto-provisioning devices, including PhonePower supplied phone adapters, softphones, zippyphones, BYOD devices that use PhonePower’s auto provisioning system, etc. If a Subscriber is unable to configure their device(s) appropriately, SIP Credentials must be disabled before Technical Support will be provided. Subscribers using SIP Credentials have a limit of 4 registrations and 2 concurrent calls. PhonePower makes no assertions regarding which devices may be properly configured for use on the PhonePower network and any account may be disabled at any time if, in PhonePower's belief, Subscriber's device is causing issues on or with the PhonePower network.

7. TERM. This Agreement is effective upon Subscriber's acceptance as provided above and shall continue until terminated by Subscriber or PhonePower pursuant to this Agreement.

• 7.1 Monthly Subscribers. Each Monthly Subscriber is on automatically renewing monthly terms billed on the anniversary of their service commencement.
  
  
• 7.2 Prepay Subscribers. A Prepay Subscriber pays upfront for a specified term ("Service Term"), including initial taxes and fees. The length of the Service Term is determined by the service package selected by the Subscriber during the sign-up or renewal process. If the Service Term is longer than twelve (12) months, additional taxes and fees will be charged after the initial twelve (12) months have passed. Following the initial Service Term, a Prepay Subscriber will automatically become a Monthly Subscriber.
  
  
• 7.3 Contract Subscribers. A Contract Subscriber is on either a twelve (12) month term or twenty-four (24) month term ("Contract Term") beginning on the day such Subscriber accepts the terms of this Agreement as provided above. The length of the Contract Term is determined by the service package selected by the Subscriber during the sign-up or renewal process. PhonePower provides a 30-day grace period during which penalties will not be assessed for terminating a new contract. Any Contract Subscriber who wishes to change or cancel their service plan during their Contract Term will be assessed a Contract Termination Fee of $99 or the remainder of your contract amount, whichever is less. Following the initial Contract Term, a Contract Subscriber will automatically become a Monthly Subscriber.
  

8. TERMINATION BY SUBSCRIBER. Subscriber may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason by providing PhonePower with a thirty (30) day written notice in the form of a valid written termination request and paying all fees and other charges accrued or otherwise payable under the terms of this Agreement. Such thirty (30) day period begins on the date on which PhonePower receives Subscriber's valid written termination request. A Monthly Subscriber's termination will be effective on the later of (a) the end of last day of the calendar month during which such thirty (30) day period ends (e.g., a valid written termination request received by PhonePower any time during January will result in termination effective at the end of February) or (b) the end of last day of the calendar month requested by the Monthly Subscriber. A Contract Subscriber's termination, if received by PhonePower at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of their Contract Term, will be effective at the end of such Contract Term, unless such Contract Subscriber requests an earlier date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section 8, if PhonePower receives a written termination request from a Subscriber, PhonePower may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement on a date earlier than the date otherwise prescribed by this section 8. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of a Contract Subscriber's Contract Term, such Contract Subscriber must pay, in addition to all fees and other charges accrued or otherwise payable under the terms of this Agreement, an early termination fee in the amount of ninety-nine dollars($99.00) ("Early Termination Fee") or the remainder of the contract amount, whichever is less. In the event a Contract Subscriber terminates this Agreement prior to the end of their Contract Term because of a service-related problem not caused by the Subscriber that PhonePower has failed to cure after what PhonePower determines in its sole discretion to be a reasonable amount of time based on the circumstances, the Subscriber is entitled to a waiver of the Early Termination Fee. For such waiver to apply, the reason for the waiver stated above must have occurred before termination and the Subscriber must report such reason for termination to PhonePower in the Subscriber's valid written termination request. PhonePower must in turn be given the opportunity to resolve the problem and the Subscriber must be willing and able to troubleshoot with PhonePower. PhonePower does not monitor Subscriber accounts for activity, and absence of activity or cancellation of a Subscriber's Internet service will never constitute a termination request. A written termination request is valid only if it includes your VOIP phone number, main username, date you wish the service to be cancelled and is submitted using one of the following approved methods:

• Navigating to http://www.phonepower.com/cancel/ and submitting the form as directed.
• Via fax to: (818) 301-7465
• Via mail to: PhonePower
  Attn: Cancellation Department

9. TERMINATION BY PhonePower. If, in PhonePower's sole and absolute discretion, (a) a Subscriber is in breach of any of the terms of this Agreement (including but not limited to the Acceptable Use Policy); (b) a Subscriber's use of the Service is prohibited by law or is disruptive to, adversely impacts or causes a malfunction to the Service, PhonePower's servers or other equipment, or the use and enjoyment of other users; (c) a Subscriber acts in an abusive or menacing manner when dealing with PhonePower's technical support staff, customer service staff or any other PhonePower employees or representatives; (d) PhonePower receives an order from a court of competent jurisdiction to terminate a Subscriber's Service; or (e) PhonePower for any reason ceases to offer the Service, then PhonePower at its sole election may terminate or suspend such Subscriber's Service immediately without notice.

10. TERMINATED SUBSCRIBER. PhonePower, in its sole and absolute discretion may refuse to accept a Subscriber's application for renewal or re-subscription following a termination or suspension of such Subscriber's use of the Service. If a Subscriber's Service is terminated for any reason, such Subscriber, upon approval by PhonePower, may enter into a new Agreement and must pay a new setup or activation fee as provided above. Upon the termination of a Subscriber's use of the Service, PhonePower has the right to immediately delete all data, files and other information stored in or for the Subscriber's account without further notice to the Subscriber.

11. TECHNICAL SUPPORT. PhonePower assumes that all Subscribers possess a basic understanding of their computers and their limitations. PhonePower will not train you in basic computer skills (e.g., deleting files or creating directories). Technical support is intended to facilitate the setup of your properly functioning computer system for access to our services. Your computer must have an active working connection to the internet before any technical support will be dispensed. If you are having problems connecting to the internet, you will need to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance getting connected first. Our technical support staff is not trained to, has no obligation to, and will not assist you in installing and/or troubleshooting modems, network cards, routers, complex network configurations or telephone lines, neither will they provide any technical assistance or support for any third party Software.

If a Subscriber wishes to utilize PhonePower's technical support, the Subscriber must be available at the same location as the hardware to help troubleshoot the connection or computer setup. PhonePower assumes no obligation to provide support services for any third party products or services, including but not limited to the quality of the connection provided by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) or for problems with our service caused by third party products or services. It is the responsibility of the subscriber to troubleshoot any issues with third party products or services with the provider of that service. PhonePower does not provide on-site technical support.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION WITH PHONEPOWER BY BINDING ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by contacting PhonePower customer care at (888)607-6937. In the unlikely event that PhonePower’s customer care department is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction, both parties agree to resolve such disputes through binding arbitration, for claims of $5,000 and greater, or small claims court, in the event the claim is less than $5,000, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. For any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $75,000, PhonePower agrees to pay all costs of the arbitration, but in no event shall PhonePower be responsible or costs incurred in bringing an action in small claims court, unless directed otherwise by the court. In arbitration you are entitled to recover attorneys’ fees from PhonePower to at least the same extent as you would be in court. Further, under certain circumstances (as explained below), PhonePower will pay you more than the amount of the arbitrator’s award and will pay your attorney (if any) his or her reasonable attorneys’ fees if the arbitrator awards you an amount that is greater than what PhonePower has offered you to settle the dispute.

• 16.1 Arbitration Agreement.
  • (a) PhonePower and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between you and PhonePower of $5,000 and greater. All claims less than $5,000 shall be addressed in small claims court. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:
    • claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;
    • claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
    • claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
    • claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.
    
    References to “PhonePower”, “you,” and “us” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services under this or prior Agreements between us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND PHONEPOWER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
  
  
  • (b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written notice of the dispute by certified mail ("Notice"). The Notice to PhonePower should be addressed to: PhonePower 9221 Corbin Ave. Suite 155, Northridge, CA 91324 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If PhonePower and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or PhonePower may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by PhonePower or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or PhonePower is entitled. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Demand_for_Arbitration_Form_3.pdf.
  
  
  • (c) After PhonePower receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $75,000. (The filing fee currently is $125 for claims under $10,000, but is subject to change by the arbitration provider. If you are unable to pay this fee, PhonePower will pay it directly upon receiving a written request at the Notice Address.) The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for the court to decide. Unless PhonePower and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Except as otherwise provided for herein, PhonePower will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse PhonePower for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules.
  
  
  • (d) If, after a finding in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim, the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of PhonePower’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then Phone Power will:
    • pay you the amount of the award; and
    • pay your attorney, if any, the amount of attorneys' fees, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration (“the attorney premium”).
    If PhonePower did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, you and your attorney will be entitled to receive the alternative payment and the attorney premium, respectively, if the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney premium at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
  
  
  • (e) The right to attorneys’ fees and expenses discussed in paragraph (d) supplements any right to attorneys’ fees and expenses you may have under applicable law. Thus, if you would be entitled to a larger amount under the applicable law, this provision does not preclude the arbitrator from awarding you that amount. However, you may not recover duplicative awards of attorneys’ fees or costs. Although under some laws PhonePower may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in an arbitration, PhonePower agrees that it will not seek such an award.
  
  
  • (f) The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. YOU AND PHONEPOWER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and PhonePower agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
  
  
  • (g) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if PhonePower makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) during the period of time that you are receiving Services, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the Arbitration Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision.
  
  
  

17. CHOICE OF LAW. You and PhonePower agree that the substantive laws of the state of your billing address except to the extent such law is preempted for inconsistent with Federal law, will be applied to govern, construe and enforce all of the rights and duties of the parties arising from or relating in any way to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event of a dispute between us, the law of the state of your billing address at the time the dispute is commenced, whether in litigation or arbitration, shall govern except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable Federal law. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and PhonePower agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

18. COMPLIANCE. PhonePower's failure at any time to insist upon strict compliance with any of the provisions of this Agreement in any instance shall not be construed to be a waiver of such terms in the future. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the unenforceable portion shall be construed as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties. The foregoing does not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions that is part of the arbitration clause; if that provision is found to be unenforceable, the arbitration clause (but only the arbitration clause) shall be null and void.

19. THINGS BEYOND PhonePower'S CONTROL. PhonePower will not be liable for delays, damages or failures in performance due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of a governmental body, acts of God, acts of third parties, fires, floods, strikes or other labor-related disputes, of other things we do not control, or an inability to obtain necessary equipment or services.

21. NOTICE. Notices by PhonePower to you shall be deemed given: (a) when sent to your primary contact email address, (b) when deposited in the United States mail addressed to you at the address you have specified in your account options or (c) when hand delivered to your home, as applicable.

PhonePower has no control over the information that any terminating telephone company chooses to display. All telephone carriers update their Caller ID information periodically, but many companies do not update as often as PhonePower sends updated data. If a disparity is found between the information that PhonePower is sending and the information that a terminating telephone company is displaying, it is the Subscriber's responsibility to contact the terminating telephone company and request that they display the correct data. PhonePower is not responsible for errors involving spelling, punctuation, or capitalization of Caller ID information.
