PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION.

AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.
1. EMERGENCY SERVICES - 911 DIALING
1.1 911 Dialing
Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice 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. Most of BroadVoice customers
in the U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada have access to basic 911 or Enhanced
911 (E911) service. Enhanced 911 (E911) service is available for all U.S. and Canadian
customers who register a valid E911 service address.
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 Broadvoice, traditional wireless or wireline telephone service that offers
access to emergency services. You further recognize that Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice 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
Broadvoice, 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
2. SERVICE
Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice
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 Broadvoice 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.
Broadvoice'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 Broadvoice'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 Broadvoice'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
Broadvoice'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 Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice 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.
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 Broadvoice'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, Broadvoice 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, Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice immediately, in writing or by calling
the Broadvoice customer care line at (978)418-7300, 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.
Broadvoice, may, but is not obligated to, detect or report unauthorized use or fraudulent
use of Services. You agree to save, defend, indemnify and hold Broadvoice harmless
from all claims, costs, liabilities and damages arising out of such fraudulent use.
5.1 Long Distance
Unlike most telephone service providers Broadvoice 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 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 Site
5.3 Free International Calling
All Broadvoice Freedom, Business, and Hosted PBX plans that include more than 500
minutes receive 60 minutes of free international calling to qualifying destinations
every monthly bill cycle. 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 Broadvoice'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.
5.4 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.
5.5 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.
5.6 Toll-Free Numbers
Toll Free numbers can be attached to any Broadvoice service plan. Toll-Free numbers
are chared per month, and inbound calls are charged per minute.

5.8 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, Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice. These charges are non-negotiable
and Subscriber waives the right to dispute these valid charges.
5.9 Reasonable Use Policy
Because over 98% of Broadvoice'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, Broadvoice 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
("Broadvoice's Rights") including suspension or cancellation of service.
5.10 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
Broadvoice, Broadvoice shall charge $75 for each call placed. These charges
are non-negotiable and Subscriber waives the right to dispute these valid charges.
6. EQUIPMENT
Broadvoice provides the option to purchase hardware or lease hardware for suing
the service. For purchased hardware, defective equipment will be replaced at no
cost within the first twelve months. Beyond twelve month, new or refurbished replacement
hardware may be purchased, or leased hardware can be provided by Broadvoice. Contact
Broadvoice customer service for details. Subscriber must return to Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice
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 Broadvoice. In the event
Subscriber does not return all original power supplies to Broadvoice, 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 Broadvoice is owned by the customer and is exempt from the hardware return
policy.
6.1 Subscriber Supplied Equipment
Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice's service can be found at http://broadvoice.com/support_installation_byod.html
Broadvoice reserves the right to add or remove equipment to this list at any time.
Broadvoice reserves the right to alter the software on Subscriber's ATA in order
to guarantee compatibility with Broadvoice's service. Any device used with Broadvoice'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 Broadvoice Supplied Equipment
Should a Subscriber who has supplied their own hardware wish to instead utilize
Broadvoice's leased equipment, this option is available by contacting our Support
Department. Subscriber must authorize Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice Supplied Equipment to Subscriber Supplied Equipment
Subscribers may convert from Broadvoice Supplied Equipment to their own equipment
by contacting our Support department. Any Leased equipment must be returned to Broadvoice
within 30 days of converting to Subscriber Supplied Equipment.
6.4 SIP Credentials
Residential Subscribers may choose to have their SIP Credentials enabled via their
My Account portal. To enable SIP Credentials, Subscriber must understand and agree
that Broadvoice will not offer any technical support for any Subscriber device(s)
using hand-configured credentials. Broadvoice will continue to offer normal support
for all auto-provisioning devices, including Broadvoice supplied phone adapters,
softphones, BYOD devices that use Broadvoice'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. Broadvoice makes no
assertions regarding which devices may be properly configured for use on the Broadvoice
network and any account may be disabled at any time if, in Broadvoice's belief,
Subscriber's device is causing issues on or with the Broadvoice network.
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
7. TERM
This Agreement is effective upon Subscriber's acceptance as provided above and shall
continue until terminated by Subscriber or Broadvoice 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. Broadvoice 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
Broadvoice 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. Initial charges, including first month service
and shipping and handling charges are non-refundable immediately upon submission
of an order. Such thirty (30) day period begins on the date on which Broadvoice
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 Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice receives a written termination request from a Subscriber, Broadvoice
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 isless. 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 Broadvoice has failed to cure after what Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice in the
Subscriber's valid written termination request. Broadvoice must in turn be given
the opportunity to resolve the problem and the Subscriber must be willing and able
to troubleshoot with Broadvoice. Broadvoice 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:
Email Billing@Broadvoice.com. Please include your name, account number, Broadvoice
telephone number, and reason for cancellation.
Via fax to: (818) 301-7465
Via mail to:
Broadvoice Attn:
Cancellation Department
20847 Sherman Way, Winnetka,
CA 91306
9. TERMINATION BY Broadvoice
If, in Broadvoice'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, Broadvoice'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 Broadvoice's technical support
staff, customer service staff or any other Broadvoice employees or representatives;
(d) Broadvoice receives an order from a court of competent jurisdiction to terminate
a Subscriber's Service; or (e) Broadvoice for any reason ceases to offer the Service,
then Broadvoice at its sole election may terminate or suspend such Subscriber's

Subscriber remains liable for all unpaid fees and other charges accrued or otherwise
payable under the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation the equipment
charges set forth herein, if applicable.
10. TERMINATED SUBSCRIBER
Broadvoice, 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 Broadvoice, 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, Broadvoice 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
Broadvoice assumes that all Subscribers possess a basic understanding of their computers
and their limitations. Broadvoice 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.

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

cards, routers, complex network configurations or telephone lines, neither will
they provide any technical assistance or support for any third party Software. The
scope of support is limited to a single line analog telephone connected directly

to initiate and be available for technical support during Broadvoice's hours of
operation. If a Subscriber wishes to utilize Broadvoice's technical support, the
Subscriber must be available at the same location as the hardware to help troubleshoot
the connection or computer setup. Broadvoice 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. Broadvoice does not provide
on-site technical support.

(a) Non-Voice Equipment Limitations. You acknowledge that our service may not be
compatible with all non-voice communications equipment, including but not limited
to home security systems, TTY, medical monitoring equipment, TIVO, satellite television
systems, PBX, Centrex, other private telephone networks, and dial-up modems. You
waive any claim against Broadvoice for interference with or disruption of these
services and equipment, as well as any claim that Broadvoice is responsible for
any disruption to your business, if applicable.
(b) Hardware Compatibility Issues. There may be other internet services or hardware
with which our service may be incompatible, including but not limited to: Fixed

services and expressly disclaim any express or implied warranties regarding the
compatibility of our service with any particular broadband service.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION WITH BROADVOICE 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.com customer care at (888)607-6937. In the unlikely event
that PhonePower.com’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.com
agrees to pay all costs of the arbitration, but in no event shall PhonePower.com
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.com to at least the same extent as you would be in court. Further,
under certain circumstances (as explained below), PhonePower.com 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.com has offered you to settle the dispute.

16.1 Arbitration Agreement
(a) Broadvoice and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between you and
Broadvoice 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 "Broadvoice", "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 BROADVOICE
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 Broadvoice should
be addressed to: Broadvoice 20847 Sherman Way Winnetka, CA 91306 ("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 Broadvoice and you do not reach
an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received,
you or Broadvoice may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration,
the amount of any settlement offer made by Broadvoice or you shall not be disclosed
to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which
you or Broadvoice is entitled. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form
to initiate arbitration from http://www.adr.org/si.asp?id=6376.
(c) After Broadvoice 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, Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice 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, Broadvoice
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 Broadvoice
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 Broadvoice's
last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then Broadvoice
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 Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice may have a right to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses if
it prevails in an arbitration, Broadvoice 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 BROADVOICE 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 Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice 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 Broadvoice
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
Broadvoice'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 BROADVOICE'S CONTROL
Broadvoice 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.
20. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, including all policies posted on Broadvoice's website, which are
fully incorporated into this Agreement by reference, constitutes the entire agreement
between you and Broadvoice with respect to the subject matter hereto and supersedes
any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements whether written or oral. Any changes
by you to this Agreement, or any additional or different terms in your purchase
orders, acknowledgements or other documents, written or electronic, are void.
