Enhanced 911 Disclaimer

VOIP EMERGENCY SERVICE DISCLAIMER

1. BROADBAND ACCESS AND OTHER SUBSCRIBER OBLIGATIONS.
   
   
PRESS 8 LP IS NOT A TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIER AND PROVIDES BROADBAND ACCESS AND VOIP TELEPHONY ONLY, NOT TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE SERVICE.


2. EMERGENCY CALLING (911 AND E911) LIMITATIONS; INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE AND LOSS OF EMERGENCY E911 SERVICE.
   
   
You may experience interruption of Service (or of certain features of the Service) or degraded service quality at any time and without notice. You will likely experience Service outages in the event of electric power outages affecting your home or the area in which PRESS 8 LP provides the Service. While PRESS 8 LP will make commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the disruptive effects of such interruptions, degraded service quality, or outages, it makes absolutely no guarantees or assurances that these will not occur. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, such commercially reasonable efforts are PRESS 8 LP's sole obligation regarding such interruptions.

Such outages or other Service disruption may include loss of emergency 911 Service dialing capabilities for extended periods of time.

It is likely that You currently have access to either basic 911 or Enhanced 911 (E911) service. With E911 service, when You dial 911, your telephone number and registered address is sent to the emergency 911 center (sometimes referred to as a "public-safety answering point" or "PSAP") assigned to your location, thus giving emergency operators access to your telephone and address information and permitting them to immediately respond to your emergency call. If You are located in an area where the emergency center does not support E911 (i.e., is not capable of simultaneously receiving your telephone number and address) You have basic 911 service. With basic 911, the local emergency operator will not have immediate access to your call back number or your exact location when receiving your emergency call. Accordingly, You must be prepared to give the basic 911 operator this information. Until and unless You do so, the basic 911 operator may be unable to call You back or to otherwise assist You in the event of an emergency.

PRESS 8 LP depends upon its underlying E911 provider to assist PRESS 8 LP in supporting your 911 and E911 calls. As they upgrade our underlying connections to emergency call centers and as these emergency call centers are upgraded from 911 to E911 answering capabilities to support E911 information, PRESS 8 LP will automatically upgrade customers from basic 911 to E911 service. You will not receive notice of this upgrade. Accordingly, as a precaution, You should be prepared to give the local operator the basic 911 information described above. Furthermore, our 911 and E911 Services may not function in the event of an electric power outage until power is restored. Following an electric power outage, You must reset or reconfigure the terminal adapter equipment prior to utilizing the Service, including 911 and E911 Service. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE TELEPHONE SERVICE, EITHER WIRELESS OR WIRELINE, THAT IS CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING 911 OR E911 CALLING AND IS AVAILABLE AS AN ALTERNATIVE AT ALL TIMES IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME FORMS OF WIRELESS SERVICE DO NOT SUPPORT AUTOMATIC LOCATION IDENTIFICATION OR HAVE OTHER E911 CALLING LIMITATIONS.

BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO ASSUME THE RISK OF LOSING EMERGENCY 911 DIALING CAPABILITIES AND CONSENT TO THE DISCLOSURE OF YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER AND OTHER IDENTIFYING INFORMATION TO EMERGENCY 911 AUTHORITIES AS PRESS 8 LP DEEMS NECESSARY IN ITS SOLE OPINION AND DISCRETION.

PLEASE NOTE FURTHER THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS ON PRESS 8 LP'S 911 AND E911 SERVICE:

911 and E911 Service may be limited or unavailable in the following circumstances:


1. In certain geographic areas where PRESS 8 LP's underlying E911 provider has limited access (or no access at all) to the PSAP's facilities;
2. If your PRESS 8 LP broadband connection, equipment, Services or other broadband access connections are disconnected, suspended, or interrupted;
3. If You modify your equipment or relocate your equipment to a location other than to the location that You registered with us ("Registered Location");
4. If You change your phone number or if You add new phone numbers to your account. (Please note that You must give us your updated Registered Location specifying the location where You will use the Service for each changed or new phone number);
5. If there are delays or disruptions of Service in the network or Services of PRESS 8 LP's underlying E911 provider;
6. If there are network congestion, disruptions, or other problems associated with PRESS 8 LP's network;

   YOU SPECIFICALLY AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL PRESS 8 LP (OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AGENTS) BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIONAL DAMAGES ARISING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE OR WITH ANY USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) EMERGENCY 911 SERVICES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. YOU ALSO AGREE TO RELEASE AND DISCHARGE PRESS 8 LP, ITS AFFILIATES (TOGETHER WITH ITS AND THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND CONTRACTORS) FROM ANY AND AGAINST ALL ACTIONS, LAWSUITS, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, JUDGEMENTS, LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) WHATSOEVER THAT YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE IN CONNECTION WITH USE (WHETHER BY YOU OR BY ANY OTHER PERSON) OF THE SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (COLLECTIVELY, "CLAIMS"). TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT (AND COVENANT NOT) TO BRING SUIT FOR SAID CLAIMS AGAINST US OR ANY OF THE OTHER PERSONS MENTIONED IN THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE.


PRESS 8 LP also has no physical control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using our 911 Service are delivered by our underlying 911 provider or whether or if they are properly answered or addressed by any local emergency response center. ACCORDINGLY, PRESS 8 LP HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HANDLING OF SUCH CALLS BY ANY THIRD PARTY OR FOR ANY OTHER CONDUCT OF THE LOCAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER OR OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY CALLING CENTER USED BY PRESS 8 LP'S UNDERLYING 911 PROVIDER.

PRESS 8 LP also relies on its underlying 911 provider and other third parties to route 911 Emergency calls to the proper emergency response center. PRESS 8 LP DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY FAILURE OR OMMISSION ON THE PART OF SUCH THIRD PARTY. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER PRESS 8 LP, NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES (OR ITS OR THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS) WILL HAVE ANY SUCH LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING ANY CLAIM AGAINST PRESS 8 LP, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE EMERGENCY 911 SERIVCE, EXCEPT WHERE SUCH CLAIMS RESULT FROM PRESS 8 LP'S (OR ITS EMPLOYEES' OR AGENTS') GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR RECKLESS OR WILLFULL MISCONDUCT.

FURTHERMORE, YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD PRESS 8 LP, ITS EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS HARMLESS FROM ANY SUCH CLAIM BROUGHT, ASSERTED OR THREATENED BY ANY THIRD PARTY UNLESS CAUSED BY PRESS 8 LP'S (OR ITS EMPOLOYEES' OR AGENTS') GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR RECKLESS OR WILLFULL MISCONDUCT.
