Telexent is sometimes referred to as "we," "us," "our," or "Telexent" and the user is sometimes referred to as "you," "your," "user," or "customer".

By subscribing to or using our service, including those services, features or functionality provided by means of mobile applications, you agree to these Terms of Service. All information linked to these Terms of Service is part of it. However, from time to time, Telexent offers special or different terms and conditions for Telexent services sponsored or co-branded by Telexent business partners.

2. EMERGENCY SERVICES - 911 DIALING
1. 911 Disclosure During Subscribe

Telexent 911 service is different from traditional wire line 911 and cellular/wireless 911, but it is a safe and reliable means of emergency dialing that may differ depending on where you are located, and the device used, when using your Telexent service.

Telexent customers have access to Enhances 911 (E911), basic 911 or our national emergency call center. When you dial 911 your Telexent phone number and registered address is sent to the local emergency center serving your location, and emergency operators have access to this information in order to send help and call you back if necessary. With basic 911, when you dial 911, local emergency operators answering the call may not see your Telexent telephone number or your registered address. The emergency center may not be equipped to receive, capture or retain your Telexent telephone number and registered address, so you must be prepared to give them this information. Until you give the operator your phone number, he/she may not be able to call you back or dispatch help if the call is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak. Once local emergency centers are capable of receiving our customers' information, we automatically upgrade customers with basic 911 to E911 service.

If you don’t have access to either basic 911 or E911 for any reason, your 911 call will be sent to the Telexent national emergency call center, where a trained agent will ask for your name, telephone number, and location, and then transfer you to the local emergency center nearest to your location.

We require you to provide the physical address where you will be using our service for 911 purposes. For E911 and basic 911, this address is used to route 911 calls to your local emergency center. When you initially provide your physical address, it can take up to 120 minutes to verify your address and activate 911 services at this address. You will receive an email letting you know when 911 services are activated.

If you move this device to another location, you must update your address. You may register only one location at time. If you do not update your location, your 911 calls may be sent to an emergency center near your old address. When you update your location, it can take several hours to activate 911 services at the updated address. You will receive an email letting you know when 911 services are activated at the updated address.

Please note that our 911 Dialing service will not function in the event of a broadband or power outage or if your broadband, Internet Service Provider (ISP), or Telexent’s phone service is terminated.

3. CUSTOMER SERVICE

We offer varying types and levels of customer service depending on a number of factors, including the service you are using and the problems you are experiencing. For more information on our customer service, please review the "Support" section of our web site www.voicecentral.com. We assume no obligation to provide support services for any third party products or services, or for problems with our service caused by third party products or services. Unless you have entered into a separate services agreement with us, we may change the customer service options at any time.

4. SERVICE
1. Service Distinctions

Our service may be subject to different regulatory treatment than traditional voice telecommunications service. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before regulatory agencies. Our service requires high speed broadband or, for certain mobile applications, a WIFI or other data connection (e.g. 3G/4G) which we do not provide. Certain of our other services may be used with devices such as wireless telephones, mobile telephones, smart phones, PDA's, tablets or pads which we may or may not provide. Events beyond our control may affect our service, such as power outages, fluctuations in the Internet, your underlying ISP or broadband service, system maintenance or acts of God. We will act in good faith using commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruptions to your use of and access to our service.

2. Residential and Mobile Use of Service and Device

Telexent's service is a single (and not extended or multi-) family residential voice service. It is engineered to process and deliver traffic profiles and utilization levels of our typical residential customers' calling patterns (also referred to as "normal use" by residential plan customers). "Typical" refers to the calling patterns of at least 95% of our customers on a particular calling plan. Normal residential traffic profiles and utilization may arise from business, multiple or extended family, community or fraudulent use. "Unlimited" does not refer to those types and levels of usage. Telephone utilization that is indicative of, or arising from, impermissible business, multiple family, community or fraudulent use, as outlined herein, on a residential class of service line may create network congestion that will manifest itself in increased busy signals for themselves and others.

Telexent's residential unlimited service plans and features are for single (and not extended or multi-) family residential (or personal, non-commercial).  This means that only the account holder and residential family members (as defined below), may use Telexent’s residential unlimited service plans. "Residential family members" refer to those members of your immediate family who reside in your personal residence - e.g., spouse, domestic partner, parents and/or children. If your residential service plan allows you to extend the service or feature(s) to another residential or mobile number, all use under that service plan is aggregated and must conform to single (and not extended or multi-) family residential (or personal, non-commercial) use.

Some Telexent plans allow for the use of additional devices (such as personal computers or mobile phones) outside the residence as part of that service plan. If you subscribe to a service plan which permits use of more than one device with the same voice line, your usage will be aggregated and assessed in accordance with our Reasonable Use Policy.

Telexent's mobile unlimited service plans and features are for normal, personal non-commercial use and are device specific. Use of Telexent's unlimited mobile plans must be in accordance with the Reasonable Use Policy and these Terms of Service, and consistent with other typical customers on the same mobile calling plan. Unauthorized or excessive use beyond that normally experienced by typical mobile customers on the same plan may cause busy signals and may result in service termination.

3. Small Business Plans
1. If you subscribe to any of Telexent's small business plans, we provide service, features and certain equipment to you solely for use as a small business user or domestic business traveler. Some Telexent plans allow for the use of additional devices (such as personal computers, mobile phones or other Telexent equipment) as part of these service plans. If you subscribe to a service plan which permits use of more than one device with the same voice line, your usage will be aggregated and assessed in accordance with our Reasonable Use Policy.
2. The following uses are not considered small business uses and are not permitted under small business plans: autodialing; continuous or excessive call-forwarding or conferencing; inbound/outbound centralized or distributed call center activity; telemarketing of any kind (including, but not limited to, charitable or political solicitation or polling); fax or voicemail broadcasting; and fax or voicemail blasting. See Section 10 for more details. Certain business plans may require you to be responsible for supplying, operating, and supporting the standard SIP-based Customer Premise Equipment for use with the service. As the subscriber and operator or administrator of this equipment, you are responsible for maintaining the security of the equipment, including but not limited to the physical and network security elements of your equipment, and any and all charges related thereto.
3. Some business plans may not be eligible for certain promotional offers.
4. Use of Telexent's small and home business unlimited service plans and features must be in accordance with the Reasonable Use Policy and these Terms of Service, and consistent with typical customers on the same small or home business calling plan (also called "normal use" by small and home business plan customers). Unauthorized or excessive use beyond that normally experienced by typical small or home business customers may create network congestion that will manifest itself in increased busy signals for themselves and others, and may result in service termination.
4. Inconsistent with Normal Use

If you use the service, any feature and/or any device (including, but not limited to, your personal computer(s), mobile phone(s) or Telexent equipment) in a way that is inconsistent with the normal use for your service, feature or plan, you will be required, at Telexent's sole discretion, to (a) pay the rates for the service, feature or plan that would apply to the way you used the service, feature or device, (b) change to a more appropriate plan or (c) terminate the plan. For example, if you subscribe to one of our residential service plans, and your aggregate usage is inconsistent with normal residential or personal use, you may thereafter be required to pay our applicable, higher rates for service for all periods in which your use of our service or the device was inconsistent with normal residential use. Unlimited voice services are provided primarily for continuous live dialogue between two individuals. Lack of continuous dialogue activity, unusual calling patterns, excessive conferencing or call forwarding, excessive numbers dialed and/or consistent excessive usage (which may also apply to features such as Directory Assistance) will be considered indicators that your use may be inconsistent with normal use by other Telexent customers aggregating their usage under a similar service plan, or that impermissible use as set forth in Section 10 and/or in the Reasonable Use Policy may be occurring and may trigger an account review or further action by us.

A non-exhaustive list of examples of uses of our service that are generally considered to be impermissible and inconsistent with normal residential or co-branded use, include, but are not limited to, use:

• By or for others who do not live with you;
• Operating a business, even if operating from the residence.

A non-exhaustive list of examples of uses of our service that are generally considered to be impermissible and inconsistent with either single (and not extended or multi-) family residential or small or home business use, or co-branded use, include, but are not limited to, use:

• Operating any other enterprise, including not-for-profit or governmental;
• Operating a call center;
• Resale to others;
• Auto-dialing or fax/voice blasts;
• Telemarketing; or
• Without live dialogue, including as a monitor, intercom or for transcription.

Telexent evaluates customer usage in comparison to similarly situated customers, e.g., residential use under residential service plans or small business use under small business service. For example, over ninety five per cent (95%) of Telexent's residential unlimited calling plan customers use less than three thousand (3000) minutes per month and do not have any unusual calling patterns. We may conclude that a customer's aggregate usage is outside of normal use if it exceeds 3000 minutes per month IN COMBINATION with one or more of the following, including, but not limited to, excessive:

• Number of unique numbers called;
• Call lengths;
• Frequency of call forwarding/transferring;
• Conference calling;
• Excessive calls to conference bridges;
• Short duration calls or chats;
• Calls made during business hours;
• Number of calls terminated and re-initiated consecutively, which, in the aggregate, result in excessive call lengths during a specific time frame; or
• Other abnormal calling patterns indicative of an attempt to evade enforcement of these Terms of Service and our Reasonable Use Policy.

Telexent may also determine that abnormal, unreasonable or impermissible usage is occurring, and may take appropriate steps described below even if the number of minutes used is not excessive, when a customer's calling patterns during more than one month reflect excessive:

• Unique numbers called;
• Call lengths;
• Frequency of call forwarding/transferring;
• Conference calling;
• Short duration calls;
• Number of calls terminated and re-initiated consecutively, which, in the aggregate, result in excessive call lengths during a specific time frame;
• Other abnormal calling patterns indicative of an attempt to evade enforcement of these Terms of Service and our Reasonable Use Policy, or
• at a multi-residential address for more than one single residence.

Telexent may take appropriate steps to enforce these Terms of Service and our Reasonable Use Policy. We reserve the right to review your account and take further action, including, but not limited to, immediate suspension of your Telexent service if account usage is beyond normal standards, impermissible or detrimental to other customers' ability to use the service or adversely affects our operations. We may assess abnormal usage based on comparisons to the usage patterns and levels of our other customers. If we determine that you are engaging in abnormal or impermissible usage, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform you and provide you with the opportunity to correct the improper usage. If we give you the opportunity to correct your abnormal usage patterns and you fail to immediately conform to normal use, we may exercise our right to transfer your service to a more appropriate plan, charge applicable rates or suspend or terminate your service. You acknowledge that if your service is terminated under this provision, you are subject to all applicable fees and taxes at the time your service is terminated. Telexent’s right to terminate your account under Section 6(E) (with or for no reason) is not limited by this provision.

5. No O+ or Operator Assisted Calling; May Not Support x11 Calling

Our service does not support 0+ or operator assisted calling, including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls, 900, or calling card calls. Our service may not support 311, 511, and other x11 services in one or more service areas. Our service may support specified dialing such as 911 and 411, although certain mobile applications may not provide such dialing services. 411 charges may vary by plan.

If we do give you notice, it may be provided on your account web page or monthly bill, in a newsletter, in a mailing, by e-mail, by telephone or other communication permitted under applicable law.

Cancellation is effective on the date you or we cancel or which you designate as the cancellation date (future disconnection date). Annual prepayment plan charges are not subject to refund. If your service is cancelled before the end of your billing cycle for any reason by you or us, there are no pro-rated refunds. Charges for any overages, payphone calls to Telexent toll free numbers, and out-of-plan international calls or any other features and services outside your rate plan are separately billed and charged to your selected payment method after cancellation. In addition, if you obtain a product or service from us (e.g., a phone adapter) for which a rebate or benefit was given to you that was conditioned on maintaining your Telexent service for a specified length of time, and you disconnect service before the end of that period, you agree to pay us the applicable recovery fee and/or Early Termination Fee. See Section 8(H) below. On multiple line accounts, any Early Termination Fee arising from a cancellation of a line that is subject to an ETF must either be paid upon cancellation or the remaining ETF balance may be transferred to one of the other lines on that account. Such ETF balance continues on the account until either the ETF obligation has expired or been satisfied.

1. Disconnection by Telexent without a Reason.

3. All Charges Owed at the Time of Disconnection will be Immediately Payable.

At the time of disconnection, we will immediately charge the credit or debit card you have provided to us for payment, or initiate an electronic funds transfer if that is your payment method, for all amounts due at that time. We will pursue collection for unpaid amounts on disconnected accounts and may report these unpaid charges to credit bureaus.

14. Service Disconnection on Number Transfer or "Port"
0. Single Line Accounts.

You may be able to take, or "port," your current number to another service provider. If you ask your new service provider to port a number from us, we will terminate our service for that number promptly after we receive notification from our competitive local exchange carrier that the porting of your number to your new service provider has been completed successfully. We will terminate our service in this fashion even if you have not independently called us to request disconnection. Once your service is terminated in this manner, you will remain responsible for all charges and fees through the end of the current billing cycle, including any unbilled charges, as well as for any applicable Early Termination Fees or recovery fees that may be applicable as provided in Sections *(G) and 8(H) below. If a port is unsuccessful for any reason, then unless you independently call us to request disconnection or unless we determine to disconnect your line as stated in these Terms of Service, your service and your agreement with us will not terminate, you will remain a Telexent customer, and you will continue to be responsible for all charges and fees associated with your Telexent service.

1. Multi Line Accounts.

If you request your new service provider to port a number from us and you have multiple numbers assigned to your account and/or additional devices you are required to inform us by calling as specified in Section 6(H), of your intent to terminate all the services on your account, prior to the successful completion of the requested port or we will select the most appropriate billing plan for any remaining numbers and/or devices on your Telexent account, and you will continue to be responsible for all the charges and fees associated with the remaining services on your Telexent account.

We will charge your method of payment in advance for each monthly service plan fee and associated taxes. Note: some financial institutions may not accept charges under one dollar ($1.00). If your financial institution does not accept charges under one dollar, we will round up and charge your account one dollar ($1.00).

We will charge you in arrears for any usage and calls not covered by your plan, and immediately on disconnection for any accrued and unbilled amounts and recovery fees or Early Termination Fees (including taxes), if applicable, that are due.

If you subscribe to a prepaid annual plan, we will bill you in advance for the service plan fee due for the entire year, plus any associated taxes, fees and surcharges.

If your claim is in excess of $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.

6. Fees and Costs

Telexent will advance all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator's costs and expenses upon receipt of your reasonable proof that you cannot afford to pay such fees and costs, provided such proof and your written request that Telexent pay such fees and costs is given prior to the commencement of the arbitration.
