14 CRITICAL NOTICE FOR US CUSTOMERS ONLY

EMERGENCY SERVICES – 911 Service

14.1 Non-Availability of Traditional 911 or E911 Service.

Reseller MUST MAINTAIN AN ALTERNATE MEANS OF REQUESTING EMERGENCY SERVICES. Reseller acknowledges and understands that Globalink Inc. does NOT support traditional 911 and E911 access to emergency services. The limited emergency response service provided by us differs in a number of important ways from traditional 911 and E911 as explained further below. Reseller must maintain an alternate means of accessing traditional emergency response services.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that our 911 Service cannot be used in conjunction with a Soft Phone or non-interconnected Virtual Numbers (virtual numbers not associated with a DID and therefore cannot receive calls from a PSTN line). Our 911 Service is not automatic; Reseller must separately take affirmative steps, as described in this Agreement and on our website, to register the address where Reseller will use the Services in order to activate the 911 feature. Reseller must do this for each interconnected virtual number that Reseller obtains. The 911 Service is different in a number of important ways from traditional 911 or E911 service as described on our website page for E911 Service and below. Reseller shall inform any household residents, guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where Reseller utilize the Service of (i) the non-availability of traditional 911 or E911, and (ii) the important differences in and limitations of the our 911 service as compared with traditional 911 or E911 Service. The documentation that accompanies each Device that Reseller purchase should include a sticker concerning the potential non-availability of traditional 911 or E911 Service (the “911 Sticker”). It is your responsibility, in accordance with the instructions that accompany  each Device, to place the 911 Sticker on each Device that Reseller use with the Service. If Reseller did not receive a 911 Sticker with your Device, or Reseller require additional 911 Stickers, please contact our customer care department.

14.2 Registration of Physical Location Required.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that for each interconnected virtual number that Reseller use for the Service, Reseller must register with the physical location where Reseller will be using the Service with that virtual number. When Reseller moves the Device to another location, Reseller must register your new location. If Reseller do not register your new location, any call Reseller make using the 911 Service feature may be sent to an emergency center near your old address. Reseller will register your initial location of use when Reseller subscribes to the Service. Thereafter, Reseller may register a new location by logging into your control panel and clicking on the ‘update 911 info’ button located next to your virtual number on the ‘DID Numbers’ page. For purposes of the 911 features, Reseller may only register one location at a time for each phone line Reseller use with the Service.

14.3 Confirmation of Activation Required.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that your 911 Service will not be activated for any phone line that Reseller are using with the Service, unless and until Reseller has submitted a verified address.

14.4 How Emergency Personnel are contacted.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that Globalink Inc. contracts with a third party to use the address of your registered location to determine the nearest emergency response center and then forward your call to a general number at that center. When the center receives your call, the operator will have the address Reseller entered in our 911 database as well as your DID number that Reseller associated with your virtual number. If Reseller has not provided this information, Reseller must provide your address and phone number in order to get help.  In order to allow the emergency operations center personnel to call Reseller back if necessary, Globalink Inc. immediately disables any call forwarding that Reseller may have established in your account.   Some local emergency response centers may decide not to have their general numbers answered by live operators 24 hours a day. If Globalink Inc. learns that this is the case, Globalink Inc. will send your call instead to a national emergency calling center and a trained agent will contact an emergency center near Reseller to dispatch help. Reseller hereby authorize us to disclose your name and address to third-party service providers, including, without limitation, call routers, call centers and public service answering points, for the purpose of dispatching emergency services personnel to your registered location.

14.5 Service Outages.

(a) Service Outages Due to Power Failure or Disruption. Reseller acknowledges and understands that 911 Service does not function in the event of a power failure or disruption. If there is an interruption in the power supply, the Service, including 911 Service, will not function until power is restored. Following a power failure or disruption, Reseller may need to reset or reconfigure the Device prior to utilizing the Service, including 911 Service.
(b) Service Outages Due to Internet Outage or Suspension or Termination of Broadband Service or ISP Service. Reseller acknowledges and understands that service outages or suspensions or terminations of service by your broadband provider or ISP will prevent all Service, including 911 Service, from functioning.
(c) Service Outage Due to Suspension or Termination of Your Account.
Reseller acknowledges and understands that service outages due to suspension or termination of your account will prevent all Service, including 911 Service, from functioning.
(d) Service Outages Due to ISP or Broadband Provider Blocking of Ports or Other Acts. Reseller acknowledges and understands that your ISP or broadband provider or other third party may intentionally or inadvertently block the ports over which the Service is provided or otherwise impede the usage of the Service. In that event, provided that Reseller alerts us to this situation, Globalink Inc. will attempt to work with Reseller to resolve the issue. During the period that the ports are being blocked or your Service is impeded, and unless and until the blocking or impediment is removed or the blocking or impediment is otherwise resolved, your Service, including the 911 Service feature, may not function. Reseller acknowledges that Globalink Inc. is not responsible for the blocking of ports by your ISP or broadband provider or any other impediment to your usage of the Service, and any loss of service, including 911 Service, that may result. In the event Reseller lose service as a result of blocking of ports or any other impediment to your usage of the Service, Reseller will continue to be responsible for payment of the Service charges unless and until Reseller terminate the Service in accordance with this Agreement.
(e) Other Service Outages. Reseller acknowledges and understands that if there is a Service outage for any reason, such outage will prevent all Service, including 911 Service, from functioning. Such outages may occur for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, those reasons described elsewhere in this Agreement.

14.6 Re-Verifying Reseller Address is required if Reseller Change Number or Add or Port New Numbers.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that 911 Service does not function if Reseller change your phone number or if Reseller add or port new phone numbers to your account, unless and until Reseller successfully register your location of use for each changed, newly added or newly ported phone number.

14.7 Network Congestion; Reduced Speed for Routing or Answering 911 Service Calls.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that there may be a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 Service call made utilizing the Service as compared to traditional 911 Service over traditional public telephone networks.

14.8 Possible Lack of Automatic Number Identification.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that it may or may not be possible for the local emergency personnel to automatically obtain your phone number when Reseller use 911 Service. Our system is configured to send the automatic number identification information; however, one or more telephone companies, not us, route the traffic to the emergency response center and that center may not be capable of receiving and passing on that information. As a result, the operator who answers your 911 Service call may not be able to automatically obtain your phone number and call Reseller back if the call is not completed or is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, if Reseller are unable to speak to tell the operator your phone number, or if the Service is not operational for any reason.

14.9 No Automated Location Identification.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that in most service areas, it is not possible at this time to transmit to the local emergency response center the address that Reseller registered for 911 Service. Reseller will need to state the nature of your emergency promptly and clearly, including your location (and possibly your telephone number), as the operator may not have this information. Emergency personnel will not be able to find your location if the call is not completed or is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, if Reseller are unable to speak to tell the operator your location, or if the Service is not operational for any reason.

14.10 Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that Globalink Inc. do not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using our 911 Service are answered or addressed by any local emergency response center. Globalink Inc. disclaims all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centers and the national emergency calling center.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that Globalink Inc. rely on third parties to assist us in routing 911 Service calls to local emergency response centers and to a national emergency calling center. Globalink Inc. disclaims any and all liability or responsibility in the event such third party data used to route calls is incorrect or yields an erroneous result. Neither our Globalink Inc., nor its officers or employees, may be held liable for any claim, damage, or loss, and Reseller hereby waive any and all such claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to our 911 Service unless such claims or causes of action arose from our gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct. Reseller shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless our Globalink Inc. and or any of our subsidiaries, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to Reseller in connection the Service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees) by, or on behalf of, Reseller or any third party relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including 911 Service, incorrectly routed 911 Service calls, and/or the inability of any user of the Service to be able to use 911 Service or access emergency service personnel.

14.11 Alternate 911 Arrangements.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that Globalink Inc. strongly encourages Reseller to have an alternate means of accessing traditional 911 or E911 services or terminating the Service. Globalink Inc. does not recommend Reseller rely on a non-traditional 911 service in an emergency.

14.12 911 Fees.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that Globalink Inc. charge a fee of $30.00 US Dollars for each call made to the 911 Service. This is to cover the cost of the service that Globalink Inc. must pay when Globalink Inc. connect such calls.

14.13 Abuse.

Reseller acknowledges and understands that while our 911 Service is not traditional 911, abusing the 911 Service, making false or prank calls to a 911 service is still a crime. If Reseller commits such acts, your account will be terminated and Reseller may be prosecuted by your local and state governments.

Globalink Inc. may make changes to this agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Reseller, advising of the change and the effective date thereof.
