911 SERVICE & LIMITATIONS (FOR FULLY HOSTED SERVICE)
The CRTC requires that Inline Communications Inc. provide e911 service to all customers using the Service within Canada. The terms in this section apply to all customers regardless of location. The e911 service provided by Inline Communications Inc. works differently than traditional wireline 911 emergency services. These characteristics may make e911 services unsuitable for some customers. Because Customer circumstances vary widely, customers should carefully evaluate their own circumstances when deciding whether to rely solely upon the e911 service. The customer acknowledges that it is the Customer’s responsibility to determine the technology or combination of technologies best suited to meet the Customer’s emergency calling needs and to make the necessary provisions for access to emergency calling services.
E911 CONSIDERATIONS
LIMITED AVAILABILITY: Customer acknowledges that the Service, including e911 service, will not function in all conditions, including but not limited to the following:
ABSENCE OF ELECTRICAL POWER: If there is a power outage, the Customer may be required to reset or reconfigure the Equipment before being able to use the Service and e911 service.
INTERNET ACCESS: The Service and e911 service will not function if there is an interruption of the Customer’s broadband or high-speed internet access service.
CONFIGURATION AND AVAILABILITY: Customer’s e911 services will not function if Customer’s phone fails or is not configured correctly or if the Service is not functioning for any reason, including suspension or disconnection of Service because of billing or other issues.
NETWORK ISSUES: Due to technical factors in network design, and in the event of network congestion on the Inline Communications Inc. network, there is a possibility that an e911 call will produce a busy signal or will experience unexpected answering wait times and/or take longer to answer than standard 911 calls placed via traditional, legacy, circuit-switched telephone networks.
NON-VOICE SYSTEMS: The Service and e911 service may not function without dialing systems including home security systems, medical monitoring equipment, TTY equipment, and entertainment or satellite television systems. The customer has no claim against Inline Communications Inc. for interruption or disruption of such systems by the Service, including e911 service.
COST: Inline Communications Inc. passes through to the Customer a mandatory e911 service subject to current regulatory terms to cover the costs associated with providing this service. This fee will be charged to the Customer for each occurrence.
PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS: Customers who subscribe to e911 service will be required to register the physical location of their Equipment with Inline Communications Inc., and agree to update the location whenever the physical location of their Equipment changes.
The customer’s responsibility to verify each of these emergency response addresses to ensure first responders are able to assist the Customer in case of an emergency. The customer acknowledges that the only mechanism for routing e911 calls to the correct emergency call taker is the physical location(s) currently registered for the account. There may be some delay before the automatic number and location information is passed to the local emergency service operator. In the event that the physical location has not been updated or is not complete, Inline Communications Inc. may attempt to route an e911 call based upon the bill-to or ship-to addresses associated with the customer’s account or initial Order.
WARNING LABELS: Inline Communications Inc. will provide the Customer with warning labels regarding the limitations or unavailability of e911 service. The customer agrees to place a label on and/or near each telephone or other Customer premise equipment on which the services may be utilized.
911 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: The Service does not support 911 emergency dialing or other emergency functions in the same way that traditional wireline 911 services operate. The differences are detailed in this section and you agree to notify any potential user of the services, who may place calls using your telephone/communication system(s), of the e911 limitations described herein. The customer hereby acknowledges that it has been advised of the circumstances under which e911 service may not be available or may be limited in comparison to traditional 911 emergency dialing.

TOLL CHARGES. Every call to or from Equipment using the Service that originates or terminates in the Public Switched Telephone Network (“PSTN”), including other VoIP networks and inbound toll-free number calls to the Customer’s toll-free number (if applicable), is considered a Toll Call. The duration of each call is to be calculated in 30-second increments and rounded up to the nearest 30-second increment for any fraction of minutes used. If the computed charge for a call includes a fraction of a cent, the fraction is rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Customers who are on an Unlimited Plan (defined below) shall not be charged for telephone calls to inclusive countries, as agreed upon at the time of acceptance of the original Order. As noted therein, certain types of calls, including but not limited to mobile phones and premium rate phones, will not be included in the unlimited calls program and will be billed in accordance with our premium rate charts.
INTERNATIONAL RATES. When a Customer dials an international PSTN phone number or mobile phone number, charges may apply regardless of whether the party on the other line answers the call. By default, all international calling routes are closed at the original time of Service installation and are only programmed upon request for the specifically requested country codes. The customer is responsible for identifying the country codes the Business will require calling at the time of acceptance of the original Order. Calls made by a Customer to an international mobile or premium rate international telephone number may result in higher toll charges. International rates vary by the destination country, city, and band, and are subject to change by Inline Communications Inc. from time to time without prior notice. You will be charged for all calls to any international destination, excluding inclusive countries, in full-minute increments at Inline Communications Inc.’s then-current rate, available upon request.
