VOXOX OFFICE TERMS
This Master Services Agreement governs the Service, any Equipment, such as an IP phone, Router, Analog Telephone Adapter or any other IP connection Equipment, (“Equipment”) and all other services provided to Customer (such as, but not limited to; Fax lines, any and all types of Data circuits) used in conjunction with the Service. By activating the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and you represent that you are of legal age to enter this Agreement and become bound by its terms.
1. SERVICE
1.1 Term
Service is offered on a term which begins on the date that VOXOX activates your Service and ends on the day before that same date in the final year of said term. Unless otherwise specified the Term of this Agreement will automatically be renewed for 1 Year, upon expiration of any existing contracted term, until such a time as service and terms are renegotiated by the Customer or a 30 day written notice of termination is received by VOXOX. Customer is purchasing service for full year terms, meaning that if you attempt to terminate services prior to the end of a term, you will be responsible for early termination fees equal to 100% of the full monthly recurring charges for all terminated services to the end of the then-current term, in addition to all unbilled charges, waived fees, and term discounts, all of which immediately become due and payable. The early termination fee becomes due and payable immediately upon termination and will be billed directly to the Customer, or to Customer's credit card for those customers who elect the credit card billing option unless terminated for material breach of this Agreement. Expiration of the term or termination of Service does not excuse the Customer from paying all unpaid, accrued charges due in relation to the Agreement.
1.2 Pricing for Service
Pricing for VOXOX service is provided in the form of a separate quotation document called the “Master Services Order” or “Proposal” which has been signed and accepted by Customer.
1.3 Use of Service and Equipment – Acceptable Use Policy and Prohibition on Resale
(a) If you have subscribed to VOXOX’ Services with “Managed Hardware”, you are not to resell or transfer the Service or Equipment to any other person for any purpose, without express written permission from VOXOX in advance.
(b) You agree not to use VOXOX Service for auto-dialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, fax broadcasting or fax blasting. VOXOX reserves the right to immediately terminate or modify the Service, if VOXOX determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer’s Service is being used for any of the aforementioned activities.
(c) VOXOX reserves the right to terminate Service or bill for any usage that exceeds 5,000 minutes of use per line or channel, per month on any Service provided.
1.4 Lawful Use of Service and Equipment
(a) Prohibited Uses
You agree to use the Service and Equipment only for lawful purposes. Without limitation, you agree not to use the Service or Equipment for transmitting or receiving any communication or material of any kind which in VOXOX’ sole judgment the transmission, receipt or possession of such communication or material: (i) would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to a civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law or (ii) encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to a civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law (the uses described in clauses (i) and (ii) above are collectively referred to as “Prohibited Uses”). VOXOX reserves the right to terminate your service immediately and without advance notice if VOXOX has proof that you are using the Service or Equipment for a Prohibited Use. Upon any such termination, you shall continue to be responsible for the full month’s charges to the end of the current term, including without limitation unbilled charges, plus a disconnect fee, all of which immediately become due and payable and may at VOXOX’ discretion be immediately charged to your credit card. You are liable for any and all use of the Service and/or Equipment by yourself and by any person making use of the Service or Equipment provided to you and agree to indemnify and hold harmless VOXOX against any and all liability for any such use. If VOXOX, has proof that you have used the Service or Equipment for a Prohibited Use, VOXOX may forward the objectionable material, as well as your communications with VOXOX and your personally identifiable information to the appropriate authorities for investigation and prosecution and you hereby consent to such forwarding.
(b) Use of Service and Equipment by Customers Outside the United States
While we permit use of the Service within the United States to place and receive calls to and from other countries, VOXOX does not presently support the use of Services located in other countries. If you remove the Equipment to a country other than the United States and use the Service from there, you do so at your sole risk, including the risk that such activity violates local laws in the country where you do so. You are liable for any and all charges, fees, fines, taxes, regulatory charges or penalties resulting from use of the Service and/or Equipment outside the United States by yourself or any person making use of the Service or Equipment provided to you and agree to indemnify and hold harmless VOXOX against any and all liability for any such use. Should the removal from the United States of the Equipment violate any export control law or regulation, you will be solely liable for such violation and agree to indemnify and hold harmless VOXOX against any and all liability for such violation. VOXOX does not guarantee that the Service or Equipment will operate outside the United States. VOXOX does not provide 911 Service outside the United States.
1.5 Loss of Service Due to Power Failure or Internet Service Outage or Termination or Suspension or Termination by VOXOX
You acknowledge and understand that the Service does not function in the event of power failure. You also acknowledge and understand that the Service requires a fully functional broadband connection to the Internet (which may not be provided by VOXOX) and that, accordingly, in the event of an outage of, or termination of service with or by your Internet service provider (“ISP”) and/or broadband provider, the Service will not function, but that you will continue to be billed for the Service unless and until you terminate the Service in accordance with this Agreement. Should there be an interruption in the power supply or ISP outage, the Service will not function until power is restored or the ISP outage is cured. A power failure or disruption may require the Customer to reset or reconfigure equipment prior to utilizing the Service. Power disruptions or failures, or ISP outages will also prevent dialing to emergency service numbers including the 911 calling feature. Should VOXOX suspend or terminate your Service, the Service will not function until such time as VOXOX restores your Service (which may require payment of all invoices and reconnection fees owed by you and/or cure of any breach by you of this Agreement).
(a) Quality of Services (QOS) Exclusions for Non VOXOX provided Internet Bandwidth or Networking Equipment
In the event that Customer chooses to provide their own Internet connection (an Internet connection not supplied by VOXOX), or networking equipment (including, but not limited to routers, switches and gateways), VOXOX shall not be responsible for voice quality, otherwise known as Quality of Service or QOS, on the VOXOX Services. VOXOX is not responsible for the speed or quality of any Internet connection that is being provided by a service provider other than VOXOX. VOXOX is not responsible for the configuration, security, or management of any network or telephone equipment that was not provided by VOXOX. Any service disruptions that result from such a Customer provided Internet connection, or networking equipment, as well as restoration of said Internet connection, or networking equipment, are the sole responsibility of the Customer. VOXOX SLAs, Customer Service response time and Mean Time to Repair shall be void in situations where service interruptions, quality issues or outages are the result of Customer provided Internet connection.
By accepting an integrated line with no QoS, customer agrees that their only remedy to solve any quality issues that are related to a non QoS Data Circuit, is to purchase a dedicated voice circuit, or to upgrade to an MPLS enabled circuit. Customer also agrees to waive their right to terminate service unless one of these options is elected, or be responsible for the Early Termination Penalties assessed on the service.
In the event that customer is utilizing VOXOX services in an environment which does not use a VOXOX managed router and bandwidth, and needs technical assistance for setup or trouble shooting, VOXOX will bill customer at a rate of $120 per hour. If after troubleshooting the cause of the issue is deemed to be an error with the VOXOX system, then no charges will be assessed to customer.
1.6 Copyright / Trademark / Unauthorized Usage of Equipment, Firmware or Software
The Service, Equipment and all firmware and software used to provide the Service are provided to you in conjunction with providing the Service, or embedded in the Equipment, and all Services, information, documents and materials on VOXOX’ website(s) are protected by trademark, copyright or other intellectual property laws and international treaty provisions.

You shall not reverse compile, disassemble or reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to derive the source code from the binary code of the firmware or software.
1.7 Tampering with the Equipment or Service
You agree not to change the electronic serial number or equipment identifier of the Equipment, or to perform a factory reset of the Equipment, without express permission from VOXOX in each instance, which VOXOX may deny at its sole discretion. VOXOX reserves the right to terminate your Service should you tamper with the Equipment, in which case you shall be responsible for: (i) the full charges to the end of the current term, including without limitation unbilled charges; (ii) a disconnect fee, and (iii) the cost of all tampered Equipment, all of which immediately become due and payable. You agree not to hack or disrupt the service or to make any use of the Service that is inconsistent with its intended purpose, or to attempt to do so.

When you call or write, you must provide your account number and a detailed description of the circumstances of the Equipment theft or fraudulent use of Service.

1.12 Service Distinction
You acknowledge and understand that the Service is not a telephone service. Important distinctions (some, but not necessarily all, of which are described in this Agreement) exist between telephone service and the enhanced Service offering provided by VOXOX. The Service is subject to different regulatory treatment than telephone service. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before Federal, State or other telecommunications regulatory agencies.
1.13 Ownership and Risk of Loss
You shall be deemed the owner of the Equipment, and bear all risk of loss of, theft of, casualty to or damage to the Equipment, from the time it is received by you until the time (if any) when it is returned by you pursuant to Section 1.9 and has been received by VOXOX.

1.15 Directory Listings
You acknowledge and understand that the Service does NOT support traditional 911 or E911 access to emergency services. VOXOX does offer a limited 911-type service available, only on certified equipment as described herein. You acknowledge and understand that 911-type dialing is NOT automatic, that you must separately take affirmative steps, as described in this Agreement, to activate such 911-type dialing capabilities and that such 911-type dialing is different in a number of important ways (some, but not necessarily all, of which are described in this Agreement) from traditional 911 service. VOXOX 911 dialing cannot be used in conjunction with a VOXOX Soft Phone application and is only available on VOXOX-certified.
2. EMERGENCY SERVICES-911 DIALING
2.1 Non-Availability of Traditional 911 or E911 Dialing Service
You acknowledge and understand that the Service does NOT support traditional 911 or E911 access to emergency services. VOXOX does offer a limited 911-type service available, only on certified equipment as described herein. You acknowledge and understand that 911-type dialing is NOT automatic, that you must separately take affirmative steps, as described in this Agreement, to activate such 911-type dialing capabilities and that such 911-type dialing is different in a number of important ways (some, but not necessarily all, of which are described in this Agreement) from traditional 911 service. VOXOX 911 dialing cannot be used in conjunction with a VOXOX Soft Phone application and is only available on VOXOX-certified.
2.2 Description of 911-Type Dialing Capabilities – Activation Required
VOXOX does offer a 911-type dialing service provided by a third-party in the U.S that is different in a number of important ways from traditional 911 service. You acknowledge and understand that 911-type dialing is NOT automatic. When you dial 911, your call is routed from the VOXOX network to VOXOX’ third-party 911 service provider, to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) or local emergency service personnel designated for the address that you listed at the time of activation. You acknowledge and understand that when you dial 911 from your Certified equipment it is intended that you will be routed to the general telephone number for the PSAP or local emergency service provider and may not be routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls using traditional 911 dialing. VOXOX relies on a third-party for the forwarding of information underlying such routing, and accordingly VOXOX disclaims any and all liability or responsibility in the event such information or routing is incorrect. As described herein, this 911-type dialing currently is NOT the same as traditional 911 or E911 dialing, and at this time, does not necessarily include all of the capabilities of traditional 911 dialing. Neither VOXOX 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 911 dialing unless it is proven that the act or omission proximately causing the claim, damage, or loss constitutes gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct on the part of VOXOX. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless VOXOX from any claim or action arising out of misroutes of 911 calls, including but not limited to your failure to follow correct activation procedures for 911 calling or your provision to VOXOX of incorrect information in connection therewith.
2.3 Service Outage
(a) Power Failure or Disruption
You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing does not function in the event of a power failure or disruption. Should there be an interruption in the power supply, the Service and 911 dialing will not function until power is restored. A power failure or disruption may require the Customer to reset or reconfigure equipment prior to utilizing the Service or 911 dialing.(b) Broadband Service / ISP Outage or Termination / Suspension or Termination by VOXOX
You acknowledge and understand that service outages or suspension or termination of service by your broadband provider and/or ISP will prevent ALL Service including 911 dialing.(c) Service Outage Due to Suspension of Your Account
You acknowledge and understand that service outages due to suspension of your account as a result of billing issues will prevent ALL Service, including 911dialing.(d) Other Service Outages
You acknowledge and understand that if there is a service outage for ANY reason, such outage will prevent ALL Service, including 911 dialing. Such outages may occur for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to those reasons described elsewhere in this Agreement.(e) Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
You acknowledge and understand that VOXOX’ liability is limited for any Service outage and/or inability to dial 911 from your line or to access emergency service personnel, as set forth in this document. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless VOXOX, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to Customer in connection with this Agreement or the Service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees) by, or on behalf of, Customer or any third party or user of Customer’s Service relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including 911 dialing and/or inability of Customer or any third person or party or user of Customer’s Service to be able to dial 911 or to access emergency service personnel.
2.4 Dialing Requires Registration
You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing does not function unless you have successfully registered your phone location by designating the correct physical address of each phone by means of a signed customer order form. You acknowledge and understand that you cannot dial 911 from this line unless and until you have received a confirming email.
2.5 Failure to Designate the Correct Physical Address When Activating 911 Dialing
Failure to provide the current and correct physical address and location of your certified equipment will result in any 911 communications you may make being routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider. This must be the actual physical street address where you are located, not a post office box, mail drop or similar address.
2.6 Requires Re-Activation if You Change Your Number or Add or Port New Numbers
You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing does not function if you change your phone number or (for such newly added or ported numbers) if you add or port new numbers to your account, unless and until you have successfully registered the new location with VOXOX by means of a signed order form, and until such later date that such activation has been confirmed to you through a confirming email. Although you may have activated 911 dialing with your former VOXOX phone number, you must separately register for 911 dialing for any changed or newly added or ported number.
2.7 Requires Re-Activation if You Move or Change Location
You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing does not function properly or at all if you move or otherwise change the physical location of your Certified equipment to a different street address, unless and until you have successfully registered the new location with VOXOX by means of a signed order form, and until such later date that such activation has been confirmed to you through a confirming email. 911 dialing must be re-activated although you may have activated 911 dialing using your former address, and you must separately activate 911 dialing for any new physical address. Failure to provide the current and correct physical address and location of your Certified equipment will result in any 911 dialing you may make being routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider.
2.8 Possibility of Network Congestion and/or Reduced Speed for Routing or Answering 911
Due to the technical constraints on the manner in which it is possible to provide the 911 dialing feature for VOXOX Service, at this time you acknowledge and understand that there is a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 communication made utilizing your certified equipment as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks. You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing from your Certified equipment will be routed to the general telephone number for the local emergency service provider (which may not be answered outside business hours), and will not be routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls at such local provider’s facilities when such calls are routed using traditional 911 dialing. You acknowledge and understand that there may be a greater possibility that the general telephone number for the local emergency service provider will produce a busy signal or will take longer to answer, as compared to those 911 calls routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls using traditional 911 dialing. You acknowledge and accept that VOXOX relies on third parties for the forwarding of information underlying such routing, and accordingly VOXOX disclaims any and all liability or responsibility in the event such information or routing is incorrect. VOXOX or its officers or employees, may not 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 911 dialing unless it is proven that the act or omission proximately causing the claim, damage, or loss constitutes gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct on the part of VOXOX.
2.9 Automated Number Identification
With VoIP E911 services it may or may not be possible for the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and the local emergency personnel to identify your phone number when you dial 911. VOXOX’ third-party 911 system is configured, in most instances, to send the automated number identification information; however, one or more telephone companies, not VOXOX, route the traffic to the PSAP and the PSAP itself must be able to receive the information and pass it along properly, and PSAPs are not yet always technically capable of doing so. You acknowledge and understand that PSAP and emergency personnel may or may not be able to identify your phone number in order to call you back if the call is unable to be completed, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak to tell them your phone number and/or if the Service is not operational for any reason, including without limitation those listed elsewhere in this Agreement.
2.10 Automated Location Identification
It may not be possible to transmit identification of the address that you have listed to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and local emergency personnel for your area when you dial 911. You acknowledge and understand that you will need to state the nature of your emergency promptly and clearly, including your location, as PSAP and emergency personnel will NOT have this information in some cases. You acknowledge and understand that PSAP and emergency personnel will not be able to find your location if the call is unable to be completed, is dropped or disconnected, if you are unable to speak to tell them your location and/or if the Service is not operational for any reason, including without limitation those listed elsewhere in this Agreement.
2.11 Alternative 911 Arrangements
You acknowledge that VOXOX does not offer primary line or lifeline services. You should always have an alternative means of accessing traditional E911 services.
3. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT
VOXOX may change the terms and conditions of this Agreement from time to time as business dictates, or in response to regulatory changes which are imposed on VOXOX. VOXOX must provide proof that such changes are mandatory while the customer is under contract. Notices will be considered given and effective 30 days after they are duly posted to the “Service Announcements” section of VOXOX’ website (currently located at http://www.voxox.com). Such changes will become binding to Customer on the date posted to the VOXOX website and no further notice by VOXOX is required. It is Customer’s responsibility to review Service Announcements for any recent updates. This Agreement as posted supersedes all previously agreed to electronic and written terms of service, including without limitation any terms included with the packaging of the Equipment, including without limitation any written terms enclosed within the packaging of the Equipment.
3.1 Traffic Profile for Voice Services
VOXOX retail rates are based upon a standard profile of the distribution of traffic for retail customers. If we provide retail domestic or international outbound voice services, or Toll Free services to you under one or more Master Service Orders or under this Agreement, we reserve the right to review your voice services profile on a periodic basis and adjust rates based on that profile. If access costs for your traffic are higher than the average costs based upon a standard traffic profile, we may increase the net rate per minute for your retail voice services upon written notice to you. Our average access costs will be calculated for the same period used to analyze your traffic. In addition, we reserve the right to review your voice services access profile on a periodic basis and review whether your average call duration exceeds one (1) minute. If for any reason your average call duration falls below one (1) minute, we reserve the right to analyze the financials of the existing traffic and either: (i) increase rates; (ii) terminate the Service.
4. CHARGES / PAYMENTS / DEFAULT / TAXES / TERMINATION
4.1 Billing
Customers that are approved for credit will be invoiced by VOXOX. Payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date. Otherwise, you must give us a valid credit card number (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express or any other issuer then-accepted by VOXOX) when the Service is activated. VOXOX reserves the right to stop accepting credit cards from one or more issuers. If the card expires, you close your account, your billing address changes, or the card is cancelled and replaced owing to loss or theft, you must advise VOXOX immediately. We will bill all charges, applicable taxes and surcharges monthly in advance (except for usage-based charges, which will be billed monthly in arrears, and any other charges which VOXOX decides to bill in arrears) to your credit card, including but not limited to: activation fees, monthly Service fees, long distance fees, international usage charges, advanced feature charges, equipment purchases, equipment rental and lease fees, disconnect fees and shipping and handling charges.

Please write your account number on the check. Otherwise, VOXOX accepts payments by credit card as set forth in Section 4.1. Your initial use of the Service authorizes VOXOX to charge the credit card account number on file with VOXOX, including any changed information given VOXOX if the card expires or is replaced, or if you substitute a different card, for VOXOX charges as set forth in Section 4.1. You authorize VOXOX to use your new credit card expiration date of the credit card on file in the event your credit card is renewed. This authorization will remain valid until 30 days after VOXOX receives your written notice terminating VOXOX’ authority to charge your credit card, whereupon VOXOX will charge you the disconnect fee and any other outstanding charges, and terminate the Service. VOXOX may terminate your Service at any time in its sole discretion, if any charge to your credit card on file with VOXOX is declined or reversed, your credit card expires and you have not provided VOXOX with a valid replacement credit card or in case of any other non-payment of account charges. Termination of Service for declined or expired card, reversed charges or non-payment leaves you FULLY LIABLE to VOXOX for ALL CHARGES ACCRUED BEFORE TERMINATION and for all costs incurred by VOXOX in collecting such amounts, such as (but not limited to) collection costs and attorney’s fees.
4.4 Termination/Discontinuance of Service
VOXOX reserves the right to suspend or discontinue providing the Service generally, or to terminate your Service, at any time for cause with 7 days advanced notice to Customer. If VOXOX discontinues providing the Service generally, or terminates your Service in its discretion without a stated reason, you will only be responsible for charges accrued through the date of termination, including a pro-rated portion of the final month’s charges. If your Service is terminated for any stated reason, including without limitation violation of this Agreement, or because of any improper use of the Service or Equipment (such as, but not limited to, your attempts to hack, disrupt, or misuse the Service or your acts or omissions that violate any acceptable use policy of VOXOX or of a third party provider to which VOXOX is subject), you will be responsible for the full charges to the end of the current term, including without limitation unbilled charges, plus the disconnect fee set forth in Section 4.6, all of which immediately become due and payable. Customer reserves the right to terminate this Agreement for material breach by VOXOX, provided VOXOX shall have 60 days from the receipt of written notice of said breach to cure the alleged breach and to notify Customer in writing that the cure has been effected. If the breach is not cured within the 60 days, Customer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement without further notice.

You are responsible for, and shall pay, any applicable federal, state, provincial, municipal, local or other governmental sales, use, excise, value-added, personal property, public utility or other taxes, fees or charges now in force or enacted in the future, that arise from or as a result of your subscription or use or payment for the Service or Equipments. Such amounts are in addition to payment for the Service or Equipment and will be billed to your credit card as set forth in this Agreement. If you are exempt from payment of such taxes, you shall provide VOXOX with an original certificate that satisfies applicable legal requirement attesting to tax-exempt status. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date VOXOX receives such certificate.
