Oldham Technology VoIP Terms of Service

1. 1. These Terms and Conditions of Service (“Terms of Service”) constitute the agreement between Oldham Technology, Inc., a Utah company (“Provider”, “we”, “us”, “our”) and the user of Oldham Technology’s services and any related products or services (“User”, “you”, “your”), and includes these Terms of Service, all attachments, and all documents incorporated by reference.
   2. Your use of any of our products, services, devices, software, or functionality (“Services”) constitutes your agreement to the terms of this Agreement and you acknowledge that we would not agree to provide the Services without that assent. We may change the terms of this Agreement or the Services, including but not limited to the price, content or nature of the Services, at our sole discretion with or without notice. By continuing to use any of our Services after said changes are effective, you accept the terms of those changes.
   3. You agree to communication in electronic form of agreements, notices, and other information. Revisions to these Terms of Service and related policies may occur from time to time and will be posted to our website or sent to you by email, according to our preference. You agree to visit our website from time to time and to check your email to review any such revisions. You also agree to notify us immediately of any change to your email address or contact phone number.

1. The Services we offer include inbound and outbound communication using Voice over Internet Protocol, or VOIP, using a Provider hosted platform. VOIP requires specialized handsets and telephone devices that use specific protocols over the internet. Handsets or other devices you purchase become your property and sole responsibility, including but not limited to, operation, installation, and maintenance. If such devices impair our Services, you will promptly cure such impairments upon notice from us, or one of our vendors or agents.
2. Usage of VOIP services will incur usage of your internet services to communicate with our platform. We do not provide you with internet service. All such internet usage and all related charges or fees are your sole responsibility. Additionally, the quality of VOIP service is highly dependent on a reliable, high quality, broadband internet connection, which you are responsible to maintain. We have the option, but no obligation or responsibility, to assist you in resolving issues arising from poor or underperforming internet connections; or to assist you with problems resulting from handset damage, misconfiguration, or failure of handsets. Such issues are not considered to be faults or failures with our Services.
3. “Unlimited” plans cover only the “typical” usage patterns of at least 95% of our customers on a particular plan (excluding your own usage), and does not refer to an infinite number of minutes or unconditional use. Both “Unlimited” and usage based plans are subject to Prohibited Uses. Unlimited calling applies only to calls made within the continental United States and Canada. Calls to Alaska, Hawaii and all non-Canadian international calls are subject to additional charges.
4. Some service plans may provide software or hardware, including handsets and other devices, which remain our property and may or may not be installed or located on your premises. If we determine supplied assets are damaged beyond normal wear and tear, fees will be assessed to repair or replace such assets. You also agree to provide us with prompt access to any and all assets we own during and after the course of this agreement. Failure to provide prompt access may impair Services, and any resulting issues are not considered to be a fault or failure with our Services, and may incur additional fees.

1. Emergency call service provided through VOIP, known as either basic 911 or enhanced 911 (collectively “E911”), is different from traditional and mobile 911 services and is an optional feature. If you decline the terms of E911 services, you must immediately decline or cancel E911 services on your accounts. E911 may operate differently depending on your location, device used, service plan, and time of day. We provide no warranty or representation respecting the functionality or availability of emergency services. You agree to notify employees and other users of Services of these issues.
2. Basic 911 services do not have physical address information. Enhanced 911 services require you to provide a single physical address where VOIP services will be used. This information may be used to route your call to a local emergency center. Calls may also be routed to a national emergency center or to other third party emergency service providers. Failure to provide an accurate and up-to-date physical address may cause an emergency call to be routed to an incorrect Public Safety Answering Point or other emergency service provider. Using a VOIP device at a location other than the physical address may also misroute an emergency call. Battery backups for phones and related networking equipment are recommended for lines with E911, however, they are not provided nor maintained by us.
3. We will not be liable or responsible to you or any third party, company, or entity for any and all damages, losses, claims, or causes of action, including but not limited to direct, consequential, incidental, actual, punitive, or any other form of damages associated with E911 services including, but not limited to, causes arising from: (a) Internet, power, or Service failure or degradation, (b) failure to provide and update a location that accurately corresponds to your physical location, (c) failure to operate E911 services, including configuration of premise equipment, platform, or proxy, (d) failure of a third party vendor or agent, (e) your failure to discharge any responsibilities set forth in these Terms of Service, (f) incorrect information for location lookup services, data routing, or phone routing, (g) any intentional or accidental error committed by us, by a Public Safety Answering Point, their agents, or the public safety agencies served.
4. NEITHER PROVIDER NOR ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, OR SUBCONTRACTORS MAY BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS, DAMAGES, OR LOSSES.
