SUBJECT:CAG Request for Legacy Agreement and Addendum for New
Contract
This memo is in lieu of our standard contract template which allows for signature by
both parties.
This is a utility agreement for G12 to provide SIP service (since 2020) with an increase to
service of an additional SIP line as well as DID porting for up to 100 numbers. Total
annual cost for complete agreement (both SIP lines) is approximately $15,200 (price +
tax). As there is not a CAG on record that I can find, we would like to establish one at
this time. After conferring with Legal, we have decided this agreement best handled via
memorandum.
Attached are the following documents:

These General Terms and Conditions are between G12 Communications LLC ("G12") and the
individual or entity identied as the customer (“Customer”) in the Service Order Form (“SOF”)

and Conditions, (iii) VOIP 911 Service Disclaimer and Customer Acknowledgement (“911 Notice”)
and (iv) Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), (v) Texting Supplemental Terms and (vi) Completion Notice.
This Agreement sets forth general terms and conditions under which Customer is purchasing G12
services pursuant to the SOF. The Parties agree to be bound by this Agreement as of the day the
SOF is fully executed by the Parties (the “Eective Date”), and arm that each have caused this
Agreement to be executed by their respective duly authorized representatives on the dates
written below their names on the SOF.
1. Services and Denitions. G12 Broadband Phone Service is an enhanced voice
communications service which uses a data network (like the Internet) to transport voice
and text communications that have been converted into data packets. The term “Service”
shall mean G12 broadband phone and text services including all software, equipment, and
other features, products and services provided by G12 under the pricing plan(s) selected by
the Customer in the applicable SOF(s). G12 will provide the Services referenced on the
SOF(s) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. G12 reserves the right, at its sole
discretion, to decline orders and require Customer to post appropriate advanced deposits
for new and existing Services.
2. Obligations of the Customer. The Customer agrees to provide all information, access, and
support for timely installation and proper use of the Service and to comply with all of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Customer also agrees that Customer’s use of

address, e-mail address, telephone number, and credit card information.
4. Term Commitment. For each Service, THE SERVICE WILL BEGIN THE DAY WHEN ALL OR
ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE IS FIRST INSTALLED AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE
CUSTOMER OR 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THE SERVICE ORDER IS EXECUTED, WHICHEVER IS

(1) year. Upon expiration of the Initial Service Term, the Service automatically renews for
successive one (1) year terms(the "Renewal Service Terms") at the rates in Customer’s SOF
unless either Party provides notice of intent to terminate the Service at least thirty (30)
days prior to the end of the Initial Service Term or the Renewal Service Terms, whichever is
applicable at the time of termination (the Initial Service Term and Renewal Service Terms
may be collectively referred to hereinafter as, the "Term" or the "Service Term").
5. Fees and Charges. Customer shall pay for all Services that G12 supplies to Customer. Each
SOF species the fee that the Customer will pay for each Service during the Service Term.
The charges and fees for G12 services are categorized on the applicable SOF as (1) “Monthly
Recurring Charges”, (2) “Non-Recurring Charges”, (3) “Usage Charges”, and (4) “Equipment
Charges”. MONTHLY RECURRING CHARGES WILL BE BILLED MONTHLY TO CUSTOMER
BEGINNING ON THE COMMENCEMENT DATE. Non-Recurring shall be billed as they occur.
Usage Charges for international and toll-free inbound calls will be billed based on the
duration of each call with a one-minute minimum and then in six-second increments after
the rst minute. Equipment Charges will be billed upon receipt of actual equipment when
purchased from G12. In addition, G12 may bill the Customer for other legally applicable
charges, including, but not limited to, Federal and State Universal Service Fund (USF), 911
and E911 Fees, LNP Administration Fees, and any other applicable state and federal taxes or
fees. The charges for the Services, not including the taxes and regulatory charges, are
hereby referred to as the “Rate(s)”. The Rates set out on the Customer’s SOF will vary
depending on the Customer’s Service Term and do not include taxes and other regulatory
charges. G12 may modify its Rates at any time. Customer will be liable for all reasonable
charges, including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by G12 to enforce
the terms of this Agreement or due to Customer’s non-compliance with the terms herein.
6. Payment. G12 will provide to Customer monthly invoices covering thirty (30) day periods
which will be due and payable thirty (30) days from the invoice date (the “Due Date”). All
Monthly Recurring Charges are billed one (1) month in advance and Usage Charges are billed
in arrears. A late payment fee will be applied on balances that remain unpaid thirty (30)
days following the date of the invoice in the amount of 1.5 % per month of the amount of

"$ !#
"
Enterprise Grade Voice
G12SIP 5411
liability to Customer resulting from any termination of Services due to non-payment by
Customer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. G12 reserves the right to bill
Customer retroactively for any Services Customer received which G12 had not billed. In
addition to the remedies contained in this Agreement, G12 reserves its rights in law and
equity, including, but not limited to, its rights under the Uniform Commercial Code.
7. Taxes. Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that all pricing for Services and other
charges due hereunder are exclusive of all applicable taxes, including without limitation,
value added tax, sales taxes, duties, fees, levies or surcharges (including where applicable
any Universal Service Fund or similar surcharges) imposed by, or pursuant to the laws,
statutes or regulations of any governmental agency or authority, all of which shall be the
sole responsibility of Customer and paid promptly when due by Customer, and furthermore,
Customer agrees to indemnify and hold G12 harmless from any liability therefor. Except as
set forth herein, all amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement shall be made
without any deduction or withholding and, except to the extent required by any law or
regulation, free and clear of any deduction or withholding on account of any tax, duty or
other charges of whatever nature imposed by any taxing or governmental authority. If
Customer is required by any law or regulation to make any such deduction or withholding
Customer shall, together with the relevant payment, pay such additional amount as will
ensure that G12 actually receives and is entitled to retain, free and clear of any such
deduction or withholding, the full amount which it would have received if no such
deduction or withholding had been required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a monthly
Universal Service Fund charge shall be added to each invoice for Services based upon the
total billed revenues, the amount of which shall be based upon the Federal
Communications Commission assessment.
8. Unauthorized Use of the Services. The Customer accepts full responsibility for the charges,
taxes and fees invoiced for G12 provision of all Services to Customer, including, but not
limited to, outbound and toll free Services, regardless of whether Customer authorized the
use of the Services and Customer agrees that it is solely responsible for the security of all
user names and passwords associated with the Service and that Customer will be
responsible for any fees, costs or expenses associated with any theft or unauthorized
access, use, or disclosure of such username or passwords. Customer shall indemnify,
defend and hold G12 harmless from any and all costs, expenses, damages, claims or
actions arising from any fraudulent or unauthorized use of the Services. Customer shall not
be excused from paying G12 for Services provided to Customer or any portion thereof on
the basis that fraudulent use of the Services comprised a corresponding portion of the
Services for which charges, taxes and fees are invoiced. In the event G12 discovers or
reasonably believes that the Services are being used fraudulently, nothing contained herein
shall prohibit G12 from taking immediately any and all reasonable actions to prevent the
fraudulent use of the Services, including without limitation, suspension or termination of
Services.
9. Inappropriate Use / Back-Up Power. Customer acknowledges that the services are not
designed, manufactured, intended, or recommended for use for any high-risk or fail-safe
"$ !#
"
Enterprise Grade Voice
G12SIP 5411
purpose or activity or in any environment where failure, interruption, malfunction, error, or
unavailability could result in any liability or damages, physical harm or personal injury,
death or dismemberment, or property or environmental damage. Customer represents and
warrants that customer and its end users will not use services for any such purpose or
activity or in any such environment. In addition, Customer acknowledges and agrees that, if
access to and use of the Services (including, but not limited to, emergency 911 and E911
Services) is desired or required during a power outage, Customer is solely responsible for
providing appropriate back-up power to any equipment located on Customer’s premises to
the extent such equipment may be used to access and use or is otherwise related to the
use of the Services. G12 shall not be responsible or liable to Customer or any third party for
Customer’s the unavailability of the Services during a power outage as a result of
Customer’s failure to provide necessary back-up or secondary power facilities for use of
the Services.
10. Toll-Free Service. Customer is responsible for all charges for toll free Services provided by
G12. G12 assumes no liability where any claim arises out of Customer being provided with
any toll-free number(s) other than the toll-free number(s) requested by Customer. G12 shall

third parties, including without limitation, the Customer’s employees or members of the
public who dial the Customer’s toll free number by mistake and Customer will be
responsible for all such charges.
11. Interruption of Service Credit. In the event that there is any defect, error, omission, delay,
mistake, interruption, suspension, or other failure in connection with furnishing the
Services or maintenance of the Services and the same is reported to and conrmed by G12
(an "Interruption"), the liability, if any, of G12 shall in no event exceed an amount equivalent
to the proportionate charge to Customer for the aected Service for the time period during
which the interruption occurred (the "Interruption Credit"). G12 shall not be liable nor shall
any Interruption Credit be given to a Customer, for any Interruption which is: (1) caused by
the willfulness or negligence of a third-party or any other entity other than G12; (2) due to
failure of equipment, systems provided by G12, Customer or any other entity; (3) due to a
force majeure event as set forth in Section 26 below; or (4) during periods when the
Customer elects to use the Service on an impaired basis. Customer hereby acknowledges
and agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy for an Interruption shall be an Interruption
Credit. Customer will not be entitled to any Interruption Credits or other damages related
to any delay in installing the Service.
12. Termination by G12. In the event that Customer is in breach of any terms of this Agreement,
G12 may provide written or emailed notice to Customer of such a breach, upon receipt of
which Customer shall have ten (10) days to cure such a breach. If such breach is not cured

G12SIP 5411
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Customer’s use of the Services
violates G12' AUP, G12 may, upon email, fax, telephonic or written notice, terminate any and
all Services provided to Customer under any Agreements between the Parties, eective
immediately, without liability to Customer and Customer will be responsible for all
obligations and unpaid amounts under those Agreements, including without limitation, Early
Termination Charges.

without liability, including Early Termination Charges, (i) if G12 is prohibited from furnishing
the Service(s) under this Agreement, or (ii) if any material rate or term contained herein is
substantially changed by order of the highest court of competent jurisdiction to which the
matter is appealed, the Federal Communications Commission, or other local, State or other
federal government authority.
14. Early Termination Charges. If a Service is terminated prior to the end of the Service Term,
then, commencing on the eective date of such termination, Customer will be subject to
Early Termination Charges equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Monthly Recurring
Charges times the number of months remaining in the Service Term, plus any waived
installation charges and discounts from G12 standard rates times the number of months of
discounts applied (“Early Termination Charges”). Customer and G12 acknowledge and agree
that (i) the Early Termination Charges are a fair and reasonable estimate of damages that
would occur in the event that the Service is terminated prior to the end of the Service
Term; (ii) actual damages incurred by G12 as a result of the early termination of the Service
would be dicult to determine ; (iii) and the provisions regarding the Early Termination
Charges in this paragraph are reasonable and appropriate measures of the damages for
such early termination and not a penalty. Customer agrees to pay all such Early Termination
Charges within 30 days of Customer’s notice of termination of Services immediately upon
written receipt of G12 last invoice to Customer (“Final Invoice”). All requests to terminate
Services must be received, in writing to G12 thirty (30) days prior to the termination
eective date. A minimum of thirty (30) days will always be billed to Customer from the
date that the termination notice is submitted.
15. Bill Disputes. Customer’s billing disputes or request for adjustments, together with all
supporting documentation, must be made in good faith, and must be received in writing by
G12 within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice, or Customer’s right to raise such
billing disputes is waived. Customer shall otherwise timely pay any undisputed amount. If
G12 determines that a disputed charge was billed in error, G12 will issue a credit to reverse
the amount that was incorrectly billed. If G12 determines that the disputed amount was
billed correctly, G12 will inform Customer of such determination and provide Customer
proof of correct billing. If Customer does not accept such proof as denitive, the dispute
will be escalated for an ocer review/resolution with G12 and Customer in accordance with
this Agreement. In the event that the escalated dispute is resolved against Customer, or in
the event that Customer accepts the foregoing proof as denitive (or if Customer fails to
notify G12 within thirty (30) days that Customer does not accept proof as denitive),
Customer shall pay the previously disputed amount within ten (10) days thereafter.

16. Resolution of Disputes. Except as otherwise provided herein, any disputes, controversy or
claim (individually and collectively referred to hereinafter as a “Dispute”) arising under this
Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. In the
event of a dispute, and upon the written request of either Party, each of the Parties shall
appoint, within ve (5) business days after a Party’s receipt of such request, a designated
representative who has authority to settle the Dispute and who is at the higher level of
management than the persons with the direct responsibility for administration of the
Agreement. The designated representatives shall meet as often as they reasonably deem
necessary in order to discuss the Dispute and negotiate in good faith in an eort to resolve
such Dispute. The specic format for such discussions will be left to the discretion of the
designated representatives; however, all reasonable requests for relevant information made
by one Party to the other shall be honored. If the Parties are unable to resolve issues
related to the Dispute within thirty (30) days after a Party’s request is made for
appointment of designated representatives as set forth above, either Party may seek any
relief to which it is entitled, whether at law or in equity.
17. Upgrades and Downgrades. An “Upgrade” is dened as a change to Customer’s existing
Services, agreed to by G12, that will result in the increase in Customer’s Monthly Recurring
Charges and/or Non-Recurring Charges. If the Customer Upgrades the Services, Early
Termination Charges will not be assessed. However, Customer will be required to purchase
the Upgrade for a term commitment that extends at least to the end of Customer’s existing
Service Term. A “Downgrade” is dened as a change to Customers’ existing Services or
partial disconnect, agreed to by G12, that results in a decrease in Customers Monthly
Recurring Charges. If Customer Downgrades the Services before the end of the Service
Term, G12, in its sole discretion, may charge Customer Early Termination Charges. Customer
shall provide G12 with thirty (30) days prior written request for all Downgrades and G12 may,
in its sole discretion agree to or deny such request. Any Downgrade of a Service must have
a Term that extends at least to the end of Customer’s existing Service Term.
18. G12 Owned Customer Premise Equipment. Any equipment installed by G12 to perform the
Services under this Agreement and associated software, which was not purchased by the
Customer, is the sole property of G12, and is referred to as “Customer Premise Equipment”
or “CPE”. For the Service Term, G12 grants Customer a limited, personal, revocable, non-
exclusive license to use the CPE provided in conjunction with the Service solely for
Customer’s own internal business use that may not be assigned, sold, sublicensed or
transferred. Upon termination of the Service, all of Customer’s rights with respect to CPE
will immediately terminate. Except as expressly provided herein, the limited license granted
to Customer does not convey any ownership or other rights, express or implied in the CPE
or in any Intellectual Property. G12 has the right to access, maintain, remove, replace or
take any other action in connection with the CPE at any time for any reason. At all times
Customer shall: (1) refrain from physically tampering with or modifying CPE, or authorizing
another to do the same; and (2) provide G12 with reasonable, sucient, and necessary
access to Customer’s facilities in order for G12 to fulll its obligations under this

G12SIP 5411
reasonable times in the event G12 needs to retrieve the CPE during, or upon the expiration
or termination of the applicable Service Term. Customer also agrees to cooperate with G12
in all communications with the landlord at the Customer’s premises if requested by G12
even after the expiration or termination of the applicable Service Term so that G12 may
retrieve physical possession of the CPE. Customer shall be responsible for any and all
damages to the CPE, caused by Customer or its end-users. Furthermore, G12 will not be
responsible for any interference or interruption in Services that are related to or caused by
CPE. Customer is responsible for the initial and ongoing conguration of any equipment
provided by Customer. If any equipment provided by Customer is not compatible or may
not be used with the Services, and Customer terminates the Service as a result, Customer
will be responsible for all Non-Recurring Charges for the Services that are noted on the
SOF, as well as Early Termination Charges and any third-party costs G12 may have incurred.

VOIP 911 Service Disclaimer and Customer Acknowledgement
"$ !#
"
Enterprise Grade Voice
G12SIP 5411
This VOIP 911 Service Disclaimer and Customer Acknowledgement (“911 Disclaimer”) constitutes
a part of your Agreement with G12 Communications, LLC ("G12"). By signing this 911 Disclaimer
Customer and anyone using the Service ("You" or “User”) agree to be bound by the terms and
conditions set forth herein. All capitalized terms are as dened herein or as otherwise dened in
the Agreement as described in the General Terms and Conditions.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION.
Thank you for selecting G12 as your Voice-Over-Internet Protocol ("VoIP ") telephony provider.
Before You begin using G12's VOIP Service, there are a few important things to understand about
the Service and its emergency calling (911 and enhanced 911 (“E911”)) limitations as compared to
traditional 911 and E911 service. Portable interconnected VOIP services can be used anywhere from
virtually any internet connected device, such as VOIP enabled handsets, headsets, conference
calling stations, computers, smartphone, tablet or any device capable of communicating over the
internet (“Softphone”), which raises challenges for the emergency services community in
determining the location from which a 911 call has originated. With basic 911, the public safety
answering point operator (or “911 Operator”) will NOT have automatic access to your telephone
number or location so you must be prepared to give the basic 911 Operator this information. With
E911, your telephone number and registered address will be automatically provided to the 911
Operator located in or near the city or county of your registered address to assist them in
responding to your emergency call,regardless of your actual location so it is critical that your
registered address re ect your actual location. Some locations do not support E911 (i.e.,
automatically providing your telephone number and registered location) so you should always be
prepared to provide your telephone number and actual location when dialing 911.
2. VOIP LIMITATIONS
2.1 EMERGENCY CALLING (911 AND E911) AND SERVICE LIMITATIONS.911 and E911 Service may
be limited or unavailable in the following circumstances:
2.1.1 Power outage or disruption to the equipment or Softphone providing Your Service
(following a power outage, You must reset or recongure the terminal adapter equipment
prior to utilizing the Service, including 911 and E911 Service);
2.1.2 Broadband outage, interruption or malfunction that aects Your Service;
2.1.3 Relocating Your Softphone to a location other than to the location that You
registered with us;
2.1.4 Delays in making Your Registered Location available to the database accessed by
the 911 Operator;
2.1.5 Using a telephone number other than the one that is registered for Your Device,
using a non-native telephone number or blocking Your caller ID:
2.1.6 Network congestion, disruptions, or other problems with Your ISP or G12's network;
"$ !#
"
Enterprise Grade Voice
G12SIP 5411
2.1.7 VoIP Service interruption or termination any reason, including the suspension or
termination of your account with G12 for non-payment or improper use of the Service;
2.1.8 Changing your phone number or adding a new phone numbers to your account
without updating the location you have Registered with us;
2.1.9 Delays or disruptions of Service in the network or Services of G12's underlying E911
provider;
2.1.10 You cannot text a 911 Operator using the Service;
2.1.11 If Your Softphone is used in an oce environment with multiple other Users located
in the same oce then: (1) the registered location for Your Softphone will be the location of
Your oce so if you remove Your Softphone from that location and call 911 from another
location, the location of the oce will still appear to the 911 Operator as Your Registered
Location regardless of Your actual location and (2) If Your telephone number is not the 911
TN from Your oce (dened below), You will need to register Your telephone number as a
911 TN for an additional charge - If You do not know whether the 911 Operator has E911
capabilities, You should always be prepared to provide Your call-back telephone number
and actual location;
2.1.12 Internet viruses that aect Your Softphone or internet connectivity and speed;
2.1.13 In certain geographic areas where G12's underlying E911 provider has limited access
(or no access at all) to the 911 Operator's facilities.
2.2 Non-VoIP Devices . Home alarm systems, fax machines and other equipment that attach
to your home computers, local telephone service, cable system or other networks may not
work with the Service and G12 MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHATSOEVER THAT THE SERVICE WILL WORK WITH THOSE DEVICES.
Except as otherwise described in the General Terms and Conditions, G12 will have no
obligations or liability with respect to any Service outages, interruptions or degradations for
any reason. Additional Service limitations can be found on the FCC’s website at:
transition.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/voip911.pdf.
3. USER OBLIGATIONS.
3.1. You Must Register the Location of Your Softphone.
3.1.1. Single Softphone/Telephone Number.If You are using a single Softphone and
telephone number, then prior to using any telephone numbers provided to You by G12, the
current physical location of Your Softphone and telephone number must be registered with
G12 (“Registered Location”) so that if a 911 call is made from that Softphone, the telephone
number and the Registered Location of the Softphone will be available to the E911 Operator.
3.1.2. Multiple Softphones/Telephone Numbers. (i) Single Location/Oce:If multiple
Softphones are used in a single location or oce, the Registered Location for Your
"$ !#
"
Enterprise Grade Voice
G12SIP 5411
Softphone will be the location of Your oce. If you remove Your Softphone from that
location and call 911 from another location, the Registered Location of the oce will appear
as Your location regardless of Your actual location.(ii) Multiple Locations/Oces:If You
have Softphones in multiple oces, the Registered Location of each Softphone must
correspond to the oce where that Softphone is located and being used. You may not use
a single oce location as the Registered Location for Softphones located in other oces or
locations.(iii) The Oce 911 Telephone Number.Multiple Softphones located in an oce
will likely only have one telephone number (the “911 TN”) from that oce that is able to
register its location with G12’s 911 provider so if any other User from that oce calls 911, the
Registered Location of the 911 TN will be provided to the 911 Operator (the User’s actual
telephone number will still be provided to the 911 Operator provided caller-ID is not
blocked). If You intend to use Your Softphone at a location other than Your oce, You will
need to upgrade your telephone number to a 911 TN and register the actual location where
your softphone is being used each time it is moved.
3.1.3. “Registered Location” Process. (i)IfYouhaveanoce administrator that manages
Your telecommunications Services, contact that administrator for their then-current
procedures for registering Your Softphone and location. (ii) If You manage the
telecommunications Services for Yourself and/or others, contact G12 at
SUPPORT@G12COM.COM and follow their then-current procedures for registering Your
Softphone(s) and location(s). If You have a non-hosted Service and manage the private
branch exchange server or its generic server or technological equivalent (the “PBX), this will
include loading the 911 TN(s) that correspond to the location and telephone number of each
Softphone onto Your PBX.
3.2. Moving a Softphone.If a Softphone in a Registered Location is moved to another location,
before using the Service You must register the new location of that. If you do not register the
new location of your Softphone, any calls you make using E911 will be sent to the 911 Operator
near your old address and register an incorrect location for that Softphone. For example, if
Your Softphone is registered to an address in Seattle and You take the Softphone to Denver
and call 911, the call will be routed to the 911 Operator in Seattle rather than Denver and it will
identify the Seattle address as Your Registered Location. Consequently, IT IS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT THAT THE NEW LOCATION FOR ANY SOFTPHONE THAT IS MOVED IS PROPERLY
REGISTERED.
3.3. Mobile Softphones. Unless you are in Your Registered Location, IF YOU NEED TO DIAL 911
WITH A MOBILE DEVICE (LIKE A SMARTPHONE, COMPUTER OR TABLET) YOU SHOULD ALWAYS
USE YOUR CELLULAR NETWORK AND NOT G12’S 911 SERVICE. Unless you are using Your
cellular network, if You call 911 to an E911 enabled 911 Operator Your mobile Softphone will only
provide the Registered Location to the 911 Operator regardless of Your actual location so if you
are using a mobile Softphone in a location other than its Registered Location or while in
motion (e.g. driving or walking), E911 service will provide inaccurate information to the 911
"$ !#
"
Enterprise Grade Voice
G12SIP 5411
Operator so you must provide your actual location to the 911 Operator. In addition, please
note that some forms of wireless service do not support automatic location identication or
have other E911 calling limitations so you must be prepared to provide Your actual location
when calling 911.
3.4.Alternative 911 Access.Customer acknowledges the limitations of VOIP telephony as
discussed above (e.g., power outages, internet access outages, overloading, registration
requirements, etc.) and, given those limitations, Customer agrees that all users of G12 Services
will have access to 911 or E911 through an alternative service or device other than through the
Services provided by G12.
3.5. Broadband Access. To use G12 VOIP telephony Services You must have a broadband
internet connection provided to You through a third-party ISP or broadband service provider.
Also, G12 is not a traditional telecommunications carrier and provides only VOIP telephony that
relies on Your broadband internet connection rather than traditional telephone lines. G12 is
not responsible for any Service outage, interruption or degradations related to Your internet
connectivity.
3.6. Power Outages. Following a power outage, You must reset or recongure the terminal
adapter equipment prior to utilizing the Service, including 911 and E911 Service.
3.7. Customer Obligation to Give Others Notice of VoIP Service and Emergency 911 Limitations.
Customer agrees to be fully responsible at all times during the term of this agreement for
notifying anyone that uses the Services of (i) the EMERGENCY CALLING (911 AND E911)
LIMITATIONS described above, (ii) VoIP Service limitations described above, (iii) User
Obligations described above and (iv) G12’s Limitation of Liabiliy described below.It is
especially important that Users understand that the loss of internet connectivity, loss of
power to their Softphone or failure to provide a current Registered Location could result in
losing the ability to call 911 and that they must have an alternative method for call 911.G12
will provide 911 warning labels to Customer and Customer agrees to place the label on or near
the Softphone that uses the Service.
3.8 Multi-story Oces or Campus.In a multi-story building be prepared to give the 911
Operator the oor You are on and the location within that oor (e.g., oce number, break
room, etc.). On a campus or in a multibuilding oce-park, be prepared to give the 911
Operator Your exact location on the campus (e.g., cafeteria, gym, etc.) or oce-park building
number and location within that building.
