Emergency (911) Services Conditions and Limitations

YOUR SAFETY IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO SPIDER TECH SUPPORT. THIS IS WHY THE SERVICE OFFERS AN EMERGENCY CALLING FEATURE THAT PERMITS YOU TO DIAL 9-1-1 TO REACH EMERGENCY PERSONNEL. HOWEVER, THE 911-TYPE SERVICE OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICE IS FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT IN SEVERAL IMPORTANT WAYS FROM TRADITIONAL WIRELINE AND WIRELESS 911 EMERGENCY ACCESS SERVICES. SPIDER TECH SUPPORT 911-TYPE SERVICE IS NOT A REPLACEMENT TO THE TRADITIONAL LOCAL WIRELINE 911 SERVICES OFFERED OVER THE PUBLIC SWITCHED TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK AND WIRELESS 911 SERVICES IN YOUR LOCAL SERVICE AREA. SPIDER TECH SUPPORT AND ITS THIRD PARTY UNDERLYING PROVIDERS CANNOT GUARANTEE THE RELIABILITY OF THE 911-TYPE DIALING FEATURES OF YOUR SERVICE. FOR HOSTED PBX SERVICES, SPIDER TECH SUPPORT’S LIMITED 911-TYPE SERVICE IS AVAILABLE ONLY ON SPIDER TECH SUPPORT AUTHORIZED HOSTED PBX EQUIPMENT (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS “EQUIPMENT”), AND FOR SIP TRUNKING SERVICES, ONLY ON SUPPORTED SIP DEVICES (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS “DEVICE”). YOU MUST PROPERLY ACTIVATE AND INSTALL YOUR EQUIPMENT/DEVICE AND ENSURE THAT THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO SPIDER TECH SUPPORT IS ACCURATE. YOU MUST ALSO INFORM ANY OTHER PERSONS WHO MAY BE PRESENT AT THE PHYSICAL LOCATION WHERE YOU UTILIZE THE SERVICE OF THE CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF THE SERVICE’S 911-TYPE DIALING AND THE NON-AVAILABILITY OF TRADITIONAL 911 SERVICES FROM YOUR EQUIPMENT/DEVICE AND SERVICE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT SPIDER TECH SUPPORT HAS APPRISED YOU OF THE CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF THE EMERGENCY

(911) SERVICES AS SET FORTH HEREIN. SPIDER TECH SUPPORT STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU ALWAYS MAINTAIN AN ALTERNATE MEANS OF REACHING AN EMERGENCY (911) OPERATOR IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.

Service Outage, Power Failure or Disruption

Your 911-type dialing will not function in the event of a power failure or disruption in service. Should there be an interruption in power or broadband connection (including wireless broadband connection where applicable) for any reason whatsoever, the Service and 911 dialing will not function unless and until power and service is fully restored. In the event of a power failure you may be required to reset your Equipment, Device, routers, modems and/or switches prior to utilizing the Service or dialing 9-1-1. Service outages or termination of service by your broadband provider and/or ISP or by Spider Tech Support will prevent ALL Service including emergency (911) dialing. You acknowledge and understand that if there is a service outage for ANY reason, such outage will prevent ALL Service, including emergency (911) dialing.

Use of TDD or TTY Devices

Your emergency 911-type service may not be fully compatible with all types of TDD or TTY devices for the hearing impaired and where such devices are used to make calls, neither Spider Tech Support nor Spider Tech Support’s third party providers hold themselves out as providing or enabling Spider Tech Support to provide emergency services compatible with any TDD/TTY or other hearing impaired devices.

Connecting Your Equipment/Device

The emergency (911)-type service will not function unless you have successfully configured and connected your Equipment or Device and provided accurate and updated information to Spider Tech Support. Even if you properly connect your Equipment or Device and receive a dial tone, there may still be a delay in time when your emergency (911)-type dialing feature is fully activated. You cannot dial emergency (911) services unless and until you have confirmation that your Equipment or Device is operational as described herein, and your billable service has begun.

Failure to Designate the Correct Service Address When Activating 911 Dialing or Moving Your Equipment or Device

Your Service Address is the physical address that you provided during the sign-up process. The Service Address is the physical location from where you intend to use your Equipment or Device. Where the Service Address is visible to the emergency response operator, this is where emergency personnel will be sent to if you cannot communicate your actual physical location if different from your Service Address.

For Hosted PBX service, if you have more than one handset at your Service Address and each handset has a different number, you must make sure that the Service Address corresponds to each number where your handset is physically located. If you move your handset to a location other than your primary Service Address, you may not be able to place emergency calls or your calls could be misrouted to the incorrect emergency operator or incorrect emergency service personnel, or emergency personnel could be dispatched to the wrong address.

For SIP Trunking service, you must make sure to register a unique Phone Number with Spider Tech Support for each handset being utilized with your Device, provide and register with Spider Tech Support the accurate location of the handset, and make sure

that when dialing 911, you send the proper Phone Number provided by Spider Tech Support which has the Service Address of the handset’s registered location.  If you send a Phone Number that wasn’t registered for emergency services or with another address other than the service address of the handset placing the call, you may not be able to place emergency calls or your calls could be misrouted to the incorrect emergency operator or incorrect emergency service personnel, or emergency personnel could be dispatched to the wrong address.

Spider Tech Support does NOT recommend that you use the Equipment or Device to dial emergency access services if you move your Equipment or Device away from your registered Service Address.

Changing Your Service Address and Use of Service Outside the United States/Canada 

If you want to change your registered Service Address, you must contact Spider Tech Support’s Customer Service at support@spidertechsupport.com to update your address and determine whether emergency (911)-type services are available at the new location. Emergency (911)-type dialing is not available in all service areas. Emergency (911)-type service will NOT function outside of the United States. If Emergency (911)-type service is available at your new Service Address, it may be necessary for Spider Tech Support to assign a new phone number to you.

Network Congestion

There is a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of an emergency (911) call made from your Service as compared to traditional 911 dialing over wireline or wireless public telephone networks.

Automated Number Identification

The emergency dispatcher or administrative operator may not be able to identify your phone number when you dial emergency (911) using the Service. Existing emergency response systems are not always technically capable of receiving and/or passing routing information properly. Accordingly, emergency personnel may not be able to identify your phone number in order to call you back if your call is not completed, dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak to tell the emergency dispatcher or operator your phone number and/or if the Service is not operational for any reason. If you enable any call redirection services with your Service such as Call Forwarding or Call Block, emergency personnel may not be able to call you back if your call is disconnected for any reason.

Automated Location Identification (E911)

Emergency personnel will be dispatched to your registered Service Address. This may or may not be the actual physical location of your Equipment or Device if you registered an incorrect or false Service Address or moved the Equipment or PBX Device without updating your registered Service Address with Spider Tech Support. If you dial 911, you must immediately tell the dispatcher your location (or the location of the emergency, if different). You must also not disconnect the line as the dispatcher may need a phone number to use to call you back. If you are unable to speak and describe your location, the emergency dispatcher may not be able to locate you or dispatch emergency personnel to the correct location. You will need to state the nature of the emergency promptly and clearly, including your location. You acknowledge and understand that emergency operators and emergency personnel will not be able to find your location if

the call is not completed, 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.

Security Systems and other Non-voice Communications Equipment

By agreeing to Spider Tech Support’s Conditions and Limitations of Emergency (911) Services, you hereby waive any claim against Spider Tech Support and Spider Tech Support’s third party providers for interference with or disruption of your security systems and any and all other communications or electronic equipment that may occur due to your use of the Services and Equipment or Device.

Local Number Portability

The Conditions and Limitations of Emergency (911) Services apply even if you are porting your number to the Service. If your Equipment or Device is not yet activated as of the Port Effective Date (the date on which your phone service is transferred to the Service), your existing phone service for the number you are transferring will be disconnected and you will have no service for that line. To avoid an interruption in your phone service, it is extremely important that you properly install your Equipment or Device prior to, or on, the Port Effective Date. An estimate of the Port Effective Date will be provided to you by Spider Tech Support via e-mail following your completion of the ordering process.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

You acknowledge that the Service’s 911-type dialing is NOT the same as traditional 911 dialing, and does not necessarily include all of the capabilities of traditional 911 dialing. You further acknowledge that the emergency (911) services hereunder may not work under all circumstances and is not as reliable as traditional 911 and E911 dialing.

YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS SPIDER TECH SUPPORT, ITS PARENT, AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE  OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS AND UNDERLYING SERVICE PROVIDERS, FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, FINES, PENALTIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEY FEES) BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY OR USER OF THE SERVICE.

agents and underlying service providers from any and all liability associated with your use of the 911-type service offered through the Service.

Sole Remedy

Your sole and exclusive remedies are expressly set forth in the Terms of Service including these Conditions and Limitations of Emergency (911) Services. Some jurisdictions may not permit the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, and some jurisdictions may not permit the limitations or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so certain of the above exclusions may not apply.
