You agree that LINK has the right to terminate your service or charge you additional fees if your usage is considered abusive in the sole discretion of LINK. If it is determined that your usage is abusive, you agree to pay a per minute or per page fee of use in excess of those levels AT THE THEN‐CURRENT RATE ESTABLISHED BY LINK, which is currently $.04 per minute and/or $.04 per facsimile page and, at LINKs sole option, your service will be immediately terminated.

11.1 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. LINK does offer a limited 911‐type service and that service is different in a number of important ways (some, but not necessarily all, of which are described in this Agreement) from traditional 911 service. You agree to inform any household residents, guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize the Service of the non‐availability of traditional 911 or E911 dialing from your LINK Service and equipment.

11.2 Description of 911‐Type Dialing Capabilities ‐ Activation Required.

LINK does offer a 911‐type dialing service in certain areas within the U.S. (but may not offer such service in certain areas of the U.S. or non‐U.S. locations) that is different in a number of important ways from traditional 911 services. When you dial 911, your call is routed from the LINK network 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 equipment it is intended that you will be routed to the general telephone number for the PSAP or local emergency service provider (which may not be answered outside business hours), and may not be routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls using traditional 911 dialing. You acknowledge and understand that your 911 call may not be routed to a PSAP but instead may be routed to a central call center where you will have to provide your location. LINK relies on third parties for the forwarding of information underlying such routing, and accordingly LINK and its third party provider(s) disclaim 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 LINK 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. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless LINK and its third party provider 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 LINK of incorrect information in connection therewith. As described above, all calls dialed by handset extensions included in your account with LINK will be routed from the LINK network to the PSAP or local emergency service personnel designated for the address that you listed at the time of activation. In the event that your equipment is used in multiple locations, or in the event that one or more items of equipment are used in multiple locations, end users designated as administrators on your account may, at your option, create additional service locations and associate your equipment to specific locations for the purposes of routing calls to the local PSAPs for such locations. Individual end users may assign and re‐assign their current location on an as‐needed basis. It is your sole responsibility to make these changes and to ensure that all household residents, guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location(s) where you utilize the Service are aware of this option.

11.3 Service Outage.

11.3.1 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 you to reset or reconfigure equipment prior to utilizing the Service or 911 dialing.

11.3.2 Broadband Service / ISP Outage or Termination / Suspension or Termination by LINK.

You acknowledge and understand that service outages or suspension or termination of service by your broadband provider and/or ISP or by LINK will prevent ALL Service including 911 dialing.

11.3.3 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 911 dialing.

11.3.4 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.

11.3.5 Limitation of Liability and Indemnification.

You acknowledge and understand that LINKs 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 LINK, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to you 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, you or any third party or user of your Service relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including 911 dialing and/or inability of you or any third person or party or user of your Service to be able to dial 911 or to access emergency service personnel.

11.4 Failure to Designate the Correct Physical Address When Activating 911 Dialing.

Failure to provide the current and correct physical address and location(s) of your 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 the equipment is located, not a post office box, mail drop or similar address.

11.5 Requires Notification 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 notified LINK of the correct address for your changed, newly added or newly ported number.

11.6 Requires Notification 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 equipment to a different street address, unless and until you have successfully notified CONCORD of such change in location and the correct address or made appropriate updates on the CONCORD online web user interface (located at https://

my.Concord.com). Failure to provide the current and correct physical address and location(s) of your equipment will result in any 911 dialing you may make being routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider.

11.7 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 the Services 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 equipment as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks. You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing from your 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 LINK relies on third parties for the forwarding of information underlying such routing, and accordingly LINK and its third party provider(s) disclaim any and all liability or responsibility in the event such information or routing is incorrect. LINK 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 LINK.

11.8 Automated Number Identification.

At this time in the technical development of LINK 911 dialing, 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. LINKs system is configured in most instances to send the automated number identification information; however, one or more telephone companies, not LINK, 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.

11.9 Automated Location Identification.

At this time in the technical development of LINK 911 Dialing, it is not 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. 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.

11.10 Alternative 911 Arrangements.

You acknowledge that LINK does not offer primary line or lifeline services. You should always have an alternative means of accessing traditional E911 services. You acknowledge that the equipment and Services do not support 911 emergency dialing or other emergency functions. You agree to notify any user of the Services, who may place calls using your phone services, of the 911 limitations. LINK advises you to maintain an alternative means of accessing traditional 911 services such as traditional telephones and cellular phones.

11.11 Non‐Voice Systems.

You acknowledge that the Services are not set up to function with “out dialing” systems including home security systems, medical monitoring equipment, satellite television systems and some facsimile systems. You have no claim against LINK for interruption or disruption of such systems by the Services.

11.12 Force Majeure.

LINK is not responsible or liable to you for its failure to perform any of its obligations contributed to by causes or circumstances beyond its reasonable control including, without limitation, Internet outages, communications and cable outages, failure of third party services or products that interface or interact with the Services, labor strikes, lockouts, supply shortages, earthquake, fire, flood, war, act of God, criminal acts (e.g. computer hacking that circumvents reasonable security measures), bankruptcy of merchants or licensees, or any acts of governmental bodies or authorities.

  1. VENUE/GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Pennsylvania without regard to conflicts‐of‐laws principles.
