Drainer Technologies will not be liable to the Customer or any third party in the event that Drainer Technologies exercises its right to modify or discontinue the Services.

9. Telephone Number Portability

Drainer Technologies, Inc. is NOT a telecommunications carrier and therefore does not directly control the porting in or porting out of Customer telephone numbers to Drainer Technologies telecommunications partners. Drainer Technologies will make reasonable efforts to liaise on Customer’s behalf with partner provider to help facilitate number transfers or port requests for Customer, provided that Customer comply with the necessary and specific procedures for porting between service providers. Number porting is defined and regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Customer acknowledges and understands that number porting depends on the cooperation of third parties outside of Drainer Technologies control. Accordingly, Customer agrees that Drainer Technologies will not be liable for the failure or delay of any third party to cooperate in the porting of any telephone number, or for the allegedly unauthorized porting of any telephone number by a third party.

Drainer Technologies will work with third party carrier(s) who, on Customer behalf, can port telephone numbers in accordance with applicable Regulatory Rules and Industry Guidelines. Drainer Technologies third-party partner(s) require very specific and detailed information and requirements when completing a port request. Please be informed that Customer will be required to provide such detailed and specific information to complete a port request.

Drainer Technologies does not guarantee requested telephone numbers will be available, that Customer existing provider will port Customer number, or that circumstances beyond Drainer Technologies control will not prevent or delay a successful port of Customer number for the Services. Customer should not order any printed material, such as business cards or stationery, showing a telephone number, or issue any press releases or otherwise publicize any telephone number until that telephone number becomes active. Drainer Technologies shall not be liable for reimbursement for any damages regarding number porting, in any manner whatsoever.

Customer understands and agrees that Drainer Technologies partner(s) may from time to time need to change the telephone or facsimile number assigned to Customer (due to an area code split or for any other reason). Drainer Technologies shall not be liable for any damages (including consequential, special damages or other damages) to Customer in the event that it needs to assign Customer a new telephone or facsimile number.

18. Emergency Calling Is Limited

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT 911 SERVICE IS ONLY PROVIDED BY DRAINER TECHNOLOGIES IP DESK PHONES AND YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT 911 SERVICE MAY NOT BE PROVIDED OR AVAILABLE ON OTHER DRAINER TECHNOLOGIES SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SOME SOFTPHONES). IF YOU SUBSCRIBE TO ONE OF THE OTHER DRAINER TECHNOLOGIES SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS OR SERVICES (OR YOUR SOFTPHONE DOES NOT PROVIDE E911), YOU MUST MAKE ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENTS TO PLACE 911 CALLS, SUCH AS USING A TRADITIONAL WIRELINE OR CELLULAR TELEPHONE, AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON DRAINER TECHNOLOGIES SERVICES TO CALL 911.

VOIP 911 service operates differently than traditional 911 service. We are required by the FCC to advise Customer of the circumstances under which 911 may not be available or may be in some way limited by comparison to traditional 911 service. Such circumstances include:

Internet Connection Failure. If the connection to the wired broadband Internet over which Customer is provided is interrupted, Customer would not have access to 911 Service during that interruption.

Number Flexibility & Service Portability. Traditional 911 service automatically sends your 911 call to the appropriate local emergency responder, or Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”), based on your telephone number. Traditional Enhanced 911 service (also known as E911) automatically sends Your 911 call to the appropriate PSAP along with your registered address and telephone number. Because the Drainer Technologies Services permits Customer to obtain a telephone number that does not correspond to your geographic location (for example, Customer may obtain a Drainer Technologies VOIP telephone number with a California area code even if Customer does not have a California address) and allows you to use Drainer Technologies Services anywhere you have wired broadband Internet.

Because your address does not necessarily correspond with your telephone number, Customer must provide Drainer Technologies with the street address(es) where Customer will be using Drainer Technologies Services (“Registered Location(s)”) when Customer signs up for service.

If Customer relocates any equipment that Customer uses to access the Services, Customer must update Customer Registered Location(s). If Customer does not update Customer Registered Location(s), any 911 calls Customer make using the Services will be routed based on Customer previously provided Registered Location and therefore may not be routed to the appropriate PSAP for Customer new location. IN OTHER WORDS, YOUR 911 CALL WILL NOT BE ROUTED TO THE PROPER GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY and might be subject to a $500 fine.

In addition, because the Services will, where possible, automatically transmit Customer Registered Location to the PSAP, Customer must update Customer Registered Location to ensure that the Services transmits accurate location information to the PSAP.

Once Customers notify us of a change in Customer Registered Location, there will be a delay in making the new Registered Location available to properly route 911 calls and advise PSAPs of Customer new Registered Location.

In some parts of the country where direct routing to PSAPs is not available for VOIP 911 Service, the Service will route Customer calls to the National Emergency Call Center where trained agents will ask for the name, location, and telephone number of the person calling 911 and will contact the appropriate PSAP to send help. The call center will not automatically receive Customer address and telephone number. In these situations, public safety response times may be delayed. As a result, there may be an additional delay before emergency services arrive.

Loss of Electrical Power. Unless Customer has a backup system to power Customer wired broadband Internet connection and any equipment that Customer use to access Customer Services, Customer will not have phone service or 911 service during any power outage.

Registration of Physical Locations Required. As discussed above, Customer must register the Registered Location where Customer will be using Services for each VOIP phone line Customer use from Drainer Technologies (e.g., if Customer purchase Drainer Technologies Office with three VOIP lines, Customer must provide a Registered Location for each of the three VOIP lines). Drainer Technologies will obtain Customer Registered Location as part of the service initiation process and will not provide Services until Customer has provided Customer initial Registered Location. However, Customer must update Customer Registered Location when Customer uses Customer Services from a new location. Regardless of what address Customer register, in some circumstances, such as unavailability of direct routing to PSAPs or the use of portable devices to access the Services, emergency calls will be routed to the National Emergency Call Center.

Customer agrees to provide true, accurate, current, and complete Registered Location information to Drainer Technologies as part of the service initiation process and to update as soon as possible Customer’s Registered Location with true, accurate, current, and complete information whenever Customer use Customer Services from a new location. If Customer provides Registered Location information that is, or that Drainer Technologies suspects to be, false, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, Drainer Technologies has the right to suspend or terminate the Services and refuse any and all current or future use of all Services, or any portion thereof. Drainer Technologies will not, however, disable Customer’s ability to make a 911 call during any service suspension.

Customer may update Customer Registered Location by calling customer support atFor purposes of 911 Dialing, Customer may only register one Registered Location for each VOIP line.

Notify All Users of 911 Limitations. Customer should inform all business colleagues, household residents, guests, and other persons who may be present at the physical location where Customer utilizes the Services that 911 may not be available or may be in some way limited in comparison to traditional 911 service. Drainer Technologies might provide subscribers to Services for which E911 service is provided stickers warning that “E911 Service May Be Limited or Not Available” for use with any VOIP equipment by mailing stickers to subscribers upon Service initiation. It is the Customer’s responsibility to place these stickers on the equipment Customer use to access Services. If Customer has not received a sticker, or Customer require additional 911 stickers, please contact customer support at

Disclaimer of 911 Liability. Drainer Technologies disclaims all responsibility for the conduct of PSAPs, the National Emergency Call Center, and all other third parties involved in the provision of emergency response services. Drainer Technologies does not have any control over PSAPs, the National Emergency Call Center, or other third parties and is therefore not responsible for whether they answer 911 calls made using the Services, how they answer these calls, or how they handle or respond to these calls. Drainer Technologies relies on third parties to assist it in the provision of 911 services and disclaims any and all liability for acts or omissions by third parties in the provision of Drainer Technologies 911 service.

Operator Assisted Calling, 311, 511, and other X11 Calling. The Services does not support 0+ or operator assisted calling (including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls, 900, or calling card calls). The Services may not support 311, 411, 511, and/or other X11 calling (other than 911 and 711 as specified in this Agreement) in one or more service areas.

19. Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification.

Customer acknowledges and understands that Drainer Technologies does not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using our partner(s) 911 Service are answered or addressed by any local emergency response center. Drainer Technologies disclaims all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centers and the national emergency calling center.

 

Customer acknowledges and understands that Drainer Technologies relys on third parties to route 911 Service calls to local emergency response centers and to a national emergency calling center. Drainer Technologies 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 Drainer Technologies, nor its officers or employees, may be held liable for any claim, damage, or loss, and Customer hereby waive any and all such claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to our partner(s) 911 Service unless such claims or causes of action arose from our gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct. Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Drainer Technologies and or any of our subsidiaries, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to Customer in connection with the Service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney fees) by, or on behalf of, Customer 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.
