(4a) Term Contracts: All VBuzzer Contracts renew automatically upon their expiration for successive one year terms unless specifically advised otherwise by the Subscriber thirty (30) days before automatic renewal on the activation anniversary date. The Subscriber is responsible for early cancellation fees (ECF) of their contract period. ECF shall be calculated by multiplying the number of months remaining on the contract by the monthly fees associated with the Services in the contract.

For a detailed listing of optimum computer specifications, please see www.realsoftphone.com.

(2) Internet Connection: To use the Services, you must have a working Internet connection. To illustrate, the Services include VOIP services which allow you to make or receive telephone calls over the internet to or from other VBuzzer account holders and the public switched telephone network (PSTN).

III. RESTRICTIONS ON USE

A. IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING EMERGENCY CALLS – 911 Dialing

(1) Limited Reliability: The Services allow you to make or receive telephone calls over the Internet to or from public switched telephone network, but the Services are not a replacement for your primary telephone service. Because the Services are provided over the Internet, there are important limitations on your ability to make emergency 911 calls using the Services.

(a) Connection time: For technical reasons (such as network congestion), it is possible that a 911 emergency call will produce a busy signal or will take longer to connect when compared with traditional 911 calls.

(b) 911 calls may not function: For technical reasons, the functionality of 911 VoIP emergency calls may cease or be curtailed in various circumstances, including but not limited to:

• Service outages or failure of your service access device - If your system access equipment fails or is not configured correctly, or if the Services are not functioning correctly for any reason, including power outage, VoIP service outage, suspension or disconnection of the Services due to the 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 system access equipment before being able to use the VoIP service, including for 911 emergency calls; and changing locations
• if you move your system access equipment to a location other than that described in Your Account information or otherwise on record with VBuzzer.

(c) Your location information may not be immediately known: For technical reasons, the dispatcher receiving the emergency call may not be able to capture or retain your name, phone number or physical location.

(2) VBuzzer’s Recommendation: For these reasons and others, the Services are not intended to support or carry emergency calls to any type of hospitals, law enforcement agencies, medical care unit or any other kind of emergency service, and VBuzzer strongly recommends that you consider alternate means for making emergency 911 calls. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) VBuzzer is not a replacement for your primary telephone service; (ii) VBuzzer is not required to offer access to emergency services under any applicable local and/or national rules, regulations or law; and (ii) you will purchase, separately from the Services, traditional wireless (mobile) or fixed line telephone services that offer more reliable access to emergency services.

(3) Emergency calling (Canada and United States only) is available on paid subscriptions only.

(4) Making Emergency 911 Calls using the Services (Canada and United States Only): If you do choose to make an emergency 911 call in Canada or United States, please also note that:

(a) When you make a 911 emergency call using the VoIP Service, it will attempt to automatically route your 911 call through a third-party service provider to the Public Safety Answering Point ("PSAP") corresponding to your address of record on Your Account. However, due to the limitations of the VoIP Services, your 911 call may be routed to a different location than that which would be used for traditional 911 dialing. 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 which has automatically generated your address information, so you may be required to provide your name, address, and telephone number to the call centre.

(b) The VoIP Service will attempt to automatically provide the PSAP dispatcher or emergency service operator with the name, address, and telephone number associated with Your Account, but there is no guarantee that this information will be transmitted to the dispatcher or emergency service operator.

(c) When making a 911 emergency 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 if your location information is not up to date.

(d) Your contact information on Your Account (including name, residential address and telephone number) must be accurate and up-to-date. If you do not correctly identify the actual location where you are located, or if your information has recently changed or has otherwise not been updated, 911 calls may be misdirected to an incorrect emergency response site.

(e) You must not disconnect the 911 emergency call until told to do so by the dispatcher because the dispatcher may not have your number or contact information. If you are inadvertently disconnected, you must call back immediately.

(f) You must notify any user or potential users of your VoIP services of the nature and limitations of 911 emergency calls on the VoIP services as described in this Agreement.

(5) Waiver: As a condition of your use of the Services, to the extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby waive all claims or causes of action against VBuzzer arising from or relating to the use of the Services for making 911 emergency calls.

(2) No Charges to Third Parties and No Spam: You agree that you shall not charge any third party for use of the Services, and you shall not request or otherwise cause any third party service provider to charge a third party for use of the Services.
