  TERMS & CONDITIONS for INTERNET PHONE SERVICE
  (Herein referred to as "The Service")
• VoIP Service-Specific Provisions. THIS SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT PROVISIONS, INCLUDING THOSE REGARDING 911 ACCESS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. You acknowledge and understand that the service or access to the service, including 911 or special needs services may not function correctly, or at all, in the event of the following circumstances:
  • If your equipment fails, is not configured correctly or does not meet the Net For Less requirements as outlined in this and other documents
  • In the event of a network outage or extended power failure
  • In you tamper with or in some cases, move the equipment, or
  • Following the suspension or termination of your services or account.
  • Description. VoIP Services allow you to make or receive telephone calls over the Internet to or from the public switched telephone network ("VoIP Calls"). The nature of VoIP Calls, while appearing similar to traditional telephone calling services, create unique limitations and circumstances, and you acknowledge and agree that differences exist between traditional telephone service and the VoIP Services, including the lack of traditional 911 services and privacy.
  • 911 Service. Because of the unique nature of VoIP Calls, emergency calls to 911 through the VoIP Service (each a "911 Call") will be handled differently than traditional phone service. The following provisions describe the differences and limitations of 911 Calls, and you hereby acknowledge and understand the differences between traditional 911 service and VoIP Calls to 911 as described below:
    (i)Placing 911 Calls. When you make a 911 Call, the VoIP Service will attempt to automatically route your 911 Call through a third party service provider to the Public Safety Answering Point ("PSAP") corresponding to the address on record with your Account. However, due to the limitations of the VoIP System, your 911 Call may be routed to a different location than that which would be used for traditional 911 dialling. For example, your call may be forwarded to a third-party, specialized call centre that handles emergency calls. This call centre is different from the PSAP that would answer a traditional 911 call, and you may be required to provide your name, address, and telephone number to the call centre.
    (ii)How Your Information is Provided. The VoIP Service will attempt to automatically provide the PSAP dispatcher or emergency service operator (each a "Dispatcher") with the name, address and telephone number associated with your Account. However, for technical reasons, the Dispatcher may not be able to capture or retain your name, phone number or physical location. Therefore, when making a 911 Call, you must immediately inform the Dispatcher of your location (or the location of the emergency, if different). If you are unable to speak, the Dispatcher may not be able to locate you.
    (iii) Correctness of Information. You are responsible for providing, maintaining and updating correct contact information (including name, residential address and telephone number) with your Account. If you do not correctly identify the actual location where your Service Access Device is located, or if your Account information has recently changed, 911 Calls may be misdirected to an incorrect Dispatcher.
    (iv) Disconnections. You must not disconnect the 911 call until told to do so by the dispatcher, as the dispatcher may not have your number or contact information. If you are inadvertently disconnected, you must call back immediately.
    (v) Connection Time. For technical reasons, including network congestion, it is possible that a 911 Call will produce a busy signal or will take longer to connect when compared with traditional calls.
    (vi) 911 Calls May Not Function. For technical reasons, the functionality of 911 Calls may cease or be curtailed in various circumstances, including:

    A. Failure of Service or Service Access Device-if your Service Access Device fails or is not configured correctly or if your VoIP Service is not functioning for any reason, including in the event of power outage, VoIP Service outage, suspension or disconnection of your Service due to billing issues, network or Internet congestion, or network or Internet outage, in the event of a power, network or Internet outage, you may need to reset or reconfigure the Service Access Device before being able to use the VoIP Service, including for 911 Calls;

    B. Changing Location of Service Access Device-if you move your Service Access Device to a location other than that described in your Account information or otherwise on record with NET FOR LESS; and

    C Use outside of Canada or the United States-if you move your System Access Device to a location other than the United States or Canada, excluding Alaska, Hawaii, the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut.
    (vii) Alternate Services. If you are not comfortable with the limitations of 911 Calls, NET FOR LESS recommends that you terminate the services or consider an alternate means for accessing traditional 911 services.
    (viii) Inform Other Users. You are responsible for notifying, and you agree to notify, any user of your VoIP Services of the nature and limitations of 911 Calls on the VoIP Services as described herein.
    (ix) No Liability and Indemnity. You acknowledge and agree that NET FOR LESS will not be liable for any service outage or inability to place 911 calls using your VoIP Service or to access emergency service personnel due to the limitations of 911 service described herein. You further acknowledge and agree that the indemnity provision set out in this document applies to 911 Calls.
  • Privacy. You acknowledge that VoIP Calls and VoIP Services utilize, in whole or in part, the public Internet and third party networks to transmit voice and other communications, which transmissions may be intercepted by other parties.
  • 411 Service. 411 "information" service is available at NET FOR LESS’ current rates as set from time to time in NET FOR LESS’ sole discretion and without notice and available at the NET FOR LESS Web Site.
  • 900 and 976 Numbers. VoIP Calls to certain special service phone numbers, including 900- and 976- numbers, may be limited and NET FOR LESS reserves the right to limit your ability to call any such number at its discretion.
  • Long Distance Services. Long Distance service, are applicable to VoIP Services.
  • Telephone Number Portability. You may be able to transfer an existing telephone number to your VoIP Service or your VoIP Service telephone number to another service provider, provided that your Account is in good standing. However, NET FOR LESS will not be responsible for any termination fees imposed by any other service provider as a result of you transferring or instructing NET FOR LESS to transfer your existing number to the Services. NET FOR LESS cannot guarantee or warrant the timeliness or date of any transfer, nor can it guarantee that you will be able to transfer your number.
  • Directory Services NET FOR LESS will make your name, address and telephone numbers available to publishers of paper and electronic telephone directories and to providers of operator services, in accordance with legal, contractual or regulatory requirements.
  • Limit on Usage Patterns. Even for unlimited calling plans, NET FOR LESS, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to terminate, curtail or suspend your VoIP Services if your calling patterns materially exceed NET FOR LESS’ average customer calling patterns under similar plans or if you breach any part of this Agreement.
  • Bandwidth Usage. VoIP calls require high-speed Internet bandwidth, which may affect throughput over any High Speed Services and will count towards your bandwidth usage for all High Speed Services.
  • Specific Prohibitions. You are prohibited from using any VoIP Services for: (i) automatic-dialling announcing devices and unsolicited voice and facsimile calls made for the purpose of solicitation; (ii) non-residential use or operating a business, including home-based businesses and call centres; (iii) long-distance calls made using call forwarding and three-way calling features; (iv) multi-party conference or party lines; or (iv) any application with continuous or excessive calling patterns, including debit card processing, for auto-dialling, remote call forwarding, telemarketing (including charitable and political solicitation and polling), fax broadcasting or fax blasting.

NET FOR LESS may, in its sole discretion, change such rates and fees upon at least 30 days prior notice posted at such website.
• Unlimited Long-Distance Plan Limitations and Prohibitions.

• Telephone Listings and Directories. We will make your name, address and telephone numbers available to the publishers of paper and electronic telephone directories and to providers of operator services in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. However subject to the 911 service provider exception described herein, you may opt to have your name, address and telephone number listing and information omitted from these directories or services by requesting, and paying for, an unlisted phone number. These directories or services, however, may receive or obtain telephone numbers and address from a source other than Net For Less. Furthermore, your name, address and telephone number will be accessible by 911 service providers, even if you requested and paid for an unlisted phone number.
