If Customer subscribes to the UniFi Talk service (the “Service”), Customer agrees to the following additional terms and conditions. The definition “Customer” under this Addendum shall include Customer’s Authorized Users.

• Emergency Service. VoIP services allow Customers to make or receive telephone calls over the Internet to or from the public switched telephone network. The nature of VoIP telephone calls, while appearing similar to traditional telephone calling services, create unique limitations and circumstances, and Customer acknowledges and agrees that differences exist between traditional telephone service and VoIP telephone services, including the 9-1-1, 1-1-2 or other emergency services (the “Emergency Service”).
  • Emergency call service: Because of the unique nature of VoIP telephone calls, Emergency Service calls through the VoIP service (the “VoIP Emergency Calls”) will be handled differently than traditional phone service (the “Traditional Emergency Calls”). The following provisions describe the differences and limitations of the VoIP Emergency Calls, and Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees the differences between Traditional Emergency Calls and VoIP Emergency Calls as described below.
  • Placing emergency calls: When Customer makes a VoIP Emergency Call, the VoIP service will attempt to automatically route such call through a third-party service provider to the Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”) corresponding to Customer’s address of record. However, due to the limitations of the VoIP telephone services, the VoIP Emergency Call may be routed to a different location than that which would be used for traditional 9-1-1 dialing. For example, the call may be forwarded to a third-party specialized call center that handles emergency calls. This call center is different from the PSAP that would answer a Traditional Emergency Call which has automatically generated the address information, and consequently, Customer may be required to provide Customer’s name, address, and telephone number to the call center.
  • How Customer’s information is provided: The VoIP service will attempt to automatically provide the PSAP dispatcher or emergency service operator with the name, address and telephone number associated with Customer’s account. However, for technical reasons, the dispatcher receiving the call may not be able to capture or retain Customer’s name, phone number or physical location. Therefore, when making a VoIP Emergency Call, Customer must immediately inform the dispatcher of the location (or the location of the emergency, if different). If Customer is unable to speak, the dispatcher may not be able to locate Customer if Customer’s location information is not up to date.
  • Correctness of information: Customer is responsible for providing, maintaining, and updating correct contact information (including name, address and telephone number). If Customer does not correctly identify the actual location where Customer is located, or if Customer’s account information has recently changed or has otherwise not been updated, the VoIP Emergency Calls may be misdirected to an incorrect emergency response site.
  • Disconnections: Customer must not disconnect the emergency call until told to do so by the dispatcher, as the dispatcher may not have Customer’s number or contact information. If Customer is inadvertently disconnected, Customer must call back immediately.
  • Connection time: For technical reasons, including network congestion, it is possible that a VoIP Emergency Call will produce a busy signal or will take longer to connect when compared with Traditional Emergency Calls.
  • Emergency calls may not function: For technical reasons, the functionality of VoIP Emergency Calls may cease or be curtailed in various circumstances, including but not limited to: failure of service or Customer’s service access device - if Customer’s system access equipment fails or is not configured correctly, or if Customer’s VoIP service is not functioning correctly for any reason, including power outages, VoIP service outage, suspension or disconnection of Customer’s service due to billing issues, network or Internet congestion, or network or Internet outage in the event of a power, network or Internet outage; Customer may need to reset or reconfigure the system access equipment before being able to use the VoIP service, including for VoIP Emergency Calls; and changing locations - if Customer moves Customer’s system access equipment to a location other than that described in Customer’s account information.
  • Alternate services: If Customer is not comfortable with the limitations of VoIP Emergency Calls, Provider recommends that Customer terminates the VoIP services or consider an alternate means for accessing Traditional Emergency Calls.
  • Inform other users: Customer is responsible for notifying, and Customer agrees to notify, any user or potential users of Customer’s VoIP services of the nature and limitations of VoIP Emergency Calls as described herein, including but not limited to, by affixing any labels or other notices relating to Emergency Services accompanying the Covered Products to such products.
  • Mobile app: Customer agrees and acknowledges that the mobile app of the Service is unable to provide the precise location of the caller to the Emergency Services. Customer shall notify and prohibit its Authorized Users from contacting Emergency Service through the mobile app of the Service.
  • Liability: Customers are advised to review the entire Agreement and this Addendum with respect to Provider’s limitations of liability.
• Additional Agreements. Customer acknowledges that Provider utilizes certain third party providers (collectively, the “Third Party Service Providers”) to provide the Service and Customer acknowledges and agrees that:
  • Provider and the Third Party Service Providers may interrupt, limit, suspend or impose additional requirements on the Service at any time and for any period of time for any reason, including, but not limited to the following: (i) any conduct that violates Provider’s and the Third Party Service Providers’ policies; (ii) any conduct that involves the use of abusive, derogatory, insulting, threatening, vulgar or similarly unreasonable language or behavior directed at any of Provider’s and the Third Party Service Providers’ employees or representatives whether it be in person, over the phone, or in writing; (iii) any abusive use of the Third Party Service Providers’ network or the Service; (iv) any use of the Covered Products and/or the Service for an unlawful or fraudulent purpose; (v) any use of the Covered Products and/or the Service in any way that: (1) is harmful to, interferes with, or negatively affects the Third Party Service Providers’ network, customers, or the network of any other provider, (2) is harmful to, interferes with, or negatively affects Third Party Service Providers’ services or operations, (3) infringes intellectual property rights of the Third Party Service Providers, or (4) generates spam or other abusive messaging or calling, a security risk, or a violation of privacy; (vi) any failure to make all required payments when due or any required advance payment or deposit; (vii) any provision of inaccurate or misleading credit information; (viii) any modification of the Covered Product from its manufacturer’s specifications; or (iv) it has become impractical or unfeasible for any legal or regulatory reason to provide the Service.
  • Customer is not acquiring the Service for the purposes of re-licensing, resale or redistribution of similar services. The Service is for Customer’s internal business use only and Customer may not resell the services to any other party. The Service, including any plan that offers unlimited calling or messaging, is designed for normal commercial use by individuals and are not intended to represent typical usage by any high-volume callers (including but not limited to call centers, resellers, or telemarketing firms) and are not intended for any services that is inconsistent with typical operation by humans, including but not limited to auto-dialing, trunking or forwarding to other numbers, usage without live dialog, transcription service, or intercom or monitoring services. Unauthorized or excessive use beyond that normally experienced by typical business customers violates the Agreement and may cause extreme network capacity and congestion issues and interfere with Provider’s and the Third Party Service Providers’ network and other networks with whom Provider connects for call initiation and completion services.
  • Provider and the Third Party Service Providers are not responsible for the selection, supply, installation, operation, or maintenance of any device, product, equipment or software owned or licensed by Customer and used in connection with the Service.
  • Unless expressly set out in the Agreement, Provider and the Third Party Service Providers make no representations, warranties, covenants or guarantees relating to: (a) network transmission capacity; (b) whether data will be transmitted in an uncorrupted form; (c) the security of any transaction, communication, facility or service; (d) the fault tolerance of the Service or the suitability of same for high risk activities; (e) the compatibility of the Service with Customer’s use; or (f) devices and telephone numbers, or other third party supplied components.
  • The Service does not extend to any maintenance, repair, rearrangement, alteration, modification or adjustment which becomes necessary due to, resulting from or in any way related to, damage, misuse or failure on Customer’s part. In addition, in the event of the interruption, failure or breakdown of the Service, or the loss or spoiling of Customer’s programs or data, Provider and Third Party Service Providers make no warranty that any of them will be restored. Customer assumes full responsibility for backing up Customer’s own files and preserving Customer’s own data.
  • The use of any information available through the Service is at Customer’s own risk and responsibility.
  • Customer understands that the Third Party Service Providers and Provider cannot guarantee the security of data transmissions, and will not be liable for any lack of security relating to the use of the Service.
  • All phone numbers are subject to rules and restrictions imposed by telecommunications providers and Provider or the Third Party Service Providers may, at their sole discretion, reclaim the phone numbers as determined by such telecommunications providers.
  • In the event Provider or the Third Party Service Providers discover or have reason to believe (i) suspicious or fraudulent calls being made, (ii) calling patterns or volumes materially outside of Customer’s regular usage patterns or (iii) other usage in violation of the terms and conditions hereof, Customer consents to Provider or the Third Party Service Providers taking actions they deems reasonably necessary (including temporary suspension of the affected Service or blocking or limiting access to particular calling numbers or geographic areas), without notice to Customer, to prevent such calls from taking place, if such immediate suspension is required to protect Provider or the Third Party Service Providers, their vendors, their other customers, the Service or other third parties. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Provider is not liable for any fraudulent calls processed and billed to Customer’s account unless such calls are the result of Provider’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
  • The Service is provided through the public Internet and third party networks which are outside of Provider’s and the Third Party Service Providers’ control. Provider and the Third Party Service Providers make no representation that the Internet or any such third party network will adequately secure or protect the privacy of Customer or any end user’s personal information, and Provider expressly denies any associated liability. Actions or inactions caused by these third party networks can result in situations in which Customer’s connections may be impaired or disrupted. Provider and the Third Party Service Providers expressly disclaims warranties with respect to these third party networks or any disruptions that may occur thereon.
• Restrictions. Customer shall not (and shall not allow any third party to):
  • remove any product identification, disclaimers, labels, copyright, or other notices on the Covered Products;

• Number Portability. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Provider and the Third Party Service Providers, at their sole discretion, reserve the right to refuse to allow Customer to port away any phone number ported into the Service or purchased from the Service. Furthermore, Customer agrees that phone numbers are “locked” by default solely to prevent phone numbers from being ported away maliciously or mistakenly. Regardless, Provider or the Third Party Service Providers may, at their sole discretion, allow Customer to port away phone numbers that Customer purchase from the Service and allow Customer to port away phone numbers that Customer port to the Service, provided that Customer (a) is in good standing with payments; (b) provides clear notice of their intent to port the phone numbers away from the Service before execution of the port-away request; and (c) is in compliance with the Agreement.
  • If Provider or the Third Party Service Providers agree to port any phone numbers into the Service, Customer hereby authorizes the Provider and the Third Party Service Providers to process Customer’s order and to notify Customer’s current local telephone company or other service provider of its decision to switch all phone services to Provider and the Third Party Service Providers, and represents and warrants that Customer is authorized to take this action.
  • Customer agrees and acknowledges (i) that the porting of Customer’s numbers requires Customer’s provision of specific, detailed and accurate information to Provider and other service providers, as applicable, and the completion of certain steps and procedures, as well as third parties’ completion of certain tasks, and (ii) that numbers may not be ported in or ported out unless such information matches the information on record with Provider or other service providers. The completion of a port request is dependent upon these and other factors which may be outside the control of Provider or other service providers, and accordingly, Provider is not responsible for delayed or incomplete ports.
  • Provider and the Third Party Service Providers may receive requests from other telephony providers (“Requesting Party”) acting as agents on Customer’s behalf to port a telephone number currently assigned to Customer to a third party provider (“Port-Out”). Provider will cooperate with the Requesting Party to perform any Port-Out in accordance with the Requesting Party’s reasonable directions and Provider’s or its vendors’ standard operating procedures. Customer will be responsible for all monthly, usage and disconnect fees associated with Service until the Port-Out date of completion or last date of the service period, whichever comes last. Provider assumes no liability for costs associated with any numbers that cannot be ported or that Customer chooses not to port.
  • Telephone numbers provided by Provider or the Third Party Service Providers (“Provided Numbers”) to Customer shall be leased and not sold. Customer will use Provided Numbers it leases with the Service and on devices approved or prescribed by Provider. In the event Customer does not port Provided Numbers following termination of Service, Customer thereafter relinquishes any rights in such numbers, and Provider and the Third Party Service Providers reserve the right to move, change or cancel Provided Numbers not ported by Customer following termination in its reasonable discretion.
• Changes to the Service. Provider and the Third Party Service Providers reserve the right, but in their sole discretion and without any obligations, to (i) remove, add, or modify features and functions of the Service; (ii) to provide fixes, updates and upgrades to the Service; (iii) change or replace any feature of the Service at any time, provided that such change will not materially alter the core features, functionality or security of the Service; or (iv) make improvements to or correct any error or omissions in any portion of the Service without any notice. Customer agrees to implement promptly all fixes, updates, upgrades and replacements of software as directed by Provider or the Third Party Service Providers. Provider shall not be liable for inoperability of the Service due to failure of Customer to timely implement the required changes.
• Recordings and Communication Monitoring. If Customer records or monitors telephone calls or other communications using the Service, then Customer represents and warrants that Customer will comply with all applicable laws prior to doing so at all times. Provider and the Third Party Service Providers make no representations or warranties with respect to recording or monitoring of telephone calls or other communications, and recommend that Customer always secure prior consent to record or monitor communications using the Service. Customer acknowledge that these representations, warranties, and obligations are essential to the ability to provide Customer with access to recording and monitoring features that are part of the Service, and Customer further agrees to reimburse, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider, Provider’s Affiliates and the Third Party Service Providers against all costs and expenses arising out of or related to Customer’s acts or omissions in connection with recording or monitoring telephone calls or other communications, whether such claims arise under contract, tort, statute or other legal theory.
• Messages.
  • If Customer enables any messaging functions provided by the Service (including but not limited to SMS, MMS and other chatting tools), Customer must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, Twilio’s policies (including, but not limited to, the Twilio Acceptable Use Policy and Twilio Messaging Policy) and industry standards (including but not limited to telecommunications providers’ policies).
  • Customer agrees and acknowledges that certain communication practices are regulated by the Marketing Laws. Customer agrees, covenants, represents, and warrants that:
    1. Customer is the maker, sender or initiator of any messages and is solely responsible for determining the content, destination and recipients of such messages;
    2. Provider and the Third Party Service Providers are merely a transmitter of the messages; and
    3. All content, communications, information, and data provided by Customer and Customer’s use of the Service will be solely for lawful purposes, and in no event will Customer’s use of the Service be in violation of the Marketing Laws or any other similar laws.
  • Provider and the Third Party Service Providers may act immediately and without notice to suspend or terminate the Service if, in their sole discretion, Customer’s or its end users’ use of the Service violates any applicable laws, including the Marketing Laws, or the policies of any telecommunication providers.
  • Customer further agrees to reimburse, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider, Provider’s Affiliates and the Third Party Service Providers against all costs and expenses arising out of or related to Customer’s acts or omissions in connection with its use of the messaging functions.
• Limitations of Liability. Unless prohibited by law, the following limitations of liability apply:
  • The Service may be interrupted, delayed, or otherwise limited for a variety of reasons, including environmental conditions, system capacity, equipment modifications and repairs. Third Party Service Providers may block access to certain categories of numbers at their sole discretion.
