The 911 Dialing feature may not work at all when used in conjunction with a Soft Phone, Virtual Numbers or Subscriber provided Customer Premise Equipment. Our 911 Dialing feature is not automatic; you must separately take affirmative steps, as described in this Agreement and on our website, to register the address where you will use the Services in order to activate the 911 Dialing feature. You must do this for each Cytracom, LLC Device that you obtain. The 911 Dialing feature of the Service is different in a number of important ways from traditional 911 or E911 service as described below. You shall inform any guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize the Service of (i) the non-availability of traditional 911 or E911, and (ii) the important differences in and limitations of the Cytracom 911 Dialing feature as compared with traditional 911 or E911 dialing. The documentation that accompanies each Device that you purchase may include a sticker concerning the potential non-availability of traditional 911 or E911 dialing (the "911 Sticker") that may be obtained and utilized at your option. It is your sole responsibility, in accordance with the instructions that accompany each Device, to place the 911 Sticker on each Device that you use with the Services. If you require additional 911 Stickers, please email us at customercare@cytracom.com with your account name and how many you need.

1.2 Registration of Physical Location Required. For each phone number that you use for the Services, you must register with Cytracom the physical location where you will be using the Services with that phone number. When you move the Device to another location, you must register your new location. If you do not register your new location, any call you make using the 911 Dialing feature may be sent to an emergency center near your old address. You will register your initial location of use when you subscribe to the Services. Thereafter, you may register a new location by following the instructions from the "911" registration link on your Cytracom web account dashboard features page. For purposes of the 911 Dialing feature, you may only register one location at a time for each Device you use with the Services.

1.3 Confirmation of Activation Required. Your 911 Dialing feature will not be activated for any Device that you are using with the Services, unless and until you take the appropriate steps to activate the 911 Dialing feature for that Device.

1.4 How Emergency Personnel are contacted. We contract with a third party to use the address of your registered location to determine the nearest emergency response center and then forward your call to a general number at that center. When the center receives your call, the operator will not have your address and may not have your phone number. You must therefore provide your address and phone number in order to get help. Some local emergency response centers may decide not to have their general numbers answered by live operators 24 hours a day. If we learn that this is the case, we will send your call instead to a national emergency calling center and a trained agent will contact an emergency center near you to dispatch help. You hereby authorize us to disclose your name and address to third-party service providers, including, without limitation, call routers, call centers and public service answering points, for the purpose of dispatching emergency services personnel to your registered location.

1.5 Service Outages. (a) Service Outages Due to Power Failure or Disruption. 911 Dialing does not function in the event of a power failure or disruption. If there is an interruption in the power supply, the Services, including 911 Dialing, will not function until power is restored. Following a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or reconfigure the Device prior to utilizing the Services, including 911 Dialing. (b) Service Outages Due to Internet Outage or Suspension or Termination of Broadband Service or ISP Service. Service outages or suspensions or terminations of service by your broadband provider or ISP will prevent all Services, including 911 Dialing, from functioning. (c) Service Outage Due to Suspension or Termination of Your Cytracom, Account. Service outages due to suspension or termination of your account will prevent all Services, including 911 Dialing, from functioning. (d) Service Outages Due to ISP or Broadband Provider Blocking of Ports or Other Acts. Your ISP or broadband provider or other third party may intentionally or inadvertently block the ports over which the Services are provided or otherwise impede the usage of the Services. In that event, provided that you alert us to this situation, we will attempt to work with you to resolve the issue. During the period that the ports are being blocked or your Services are impeded, and unless and until the blocking or impediment is removed or the blocking or impediment is otherwise resolved, your Services, including the 911 Dialing feature, may not function. You acknowledge that Cytracom is not responsible for the blocking of ports by your ISP or broadband provider or any other impediment to your usage of the Services, and any loss of service, including 911 dialing that may result. In the event you lose service as a result of blocking of ports or any other impediment to your usage of the Services, you will continue to be responsible for payment of the Service charges unless and until you terminate the Services in accordance with this Agreement. (e) Other Service Outages. If there is a Service outage for any reason, such outage will prevent all Services, including 911 Dialing, from functioning. Such outages may occur for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, those reasons described elsewhere in this Agreement.

1.6 Re-Activation Required if You Change Your Number or Add or Port New Numbers. 911 Dialing does not function if you change your phone number or if you add or port new phone numbers to your account, unless and until you successfully register your location of use for each changed, newly added or newly ported phone number.

1.7 Activation Required for New or Added Devices.  911 Dialing does not function for any new Device added to your account, unless and until you take the appropriate steps to activate the 911 Dialing feature for that Device.  

1.8 Network Congestion; Reduced Speed for Routing or Answering 911 Dialing Calls. There may be a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 Dialing call made utilizing the Services as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks.

1.9 Possible Lack of Automatic Number Identification. It may or may not be possible for the local emergency personnel to automatically obtain your phone number when you use 911 Dialing. Our system is configured to send the automatic number identification information; however, one or more telephone companies, not us, route the traffic to the emergency response center and that center may not be capable of receiving and passing on that information. As a result, the operator who answers your 911 Dialing call may not be able to automatically obtain your phone number and call you back if the call is not completed or is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, if you are unable to speak to tell the operator your phone number, or if the Services are not operational for any reason.

1.10 No Automated Location Identification. In most service areas, it is not possible at this time to transmit to the local emergency response center the address that you registered for 911 Dialing. You will need to state the nature of your emergency promptly and clearly, including your location (and possibly your telephone number), as the operator will not have this information. Emergency personnel will not be able to find your location if the call is not completed or is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, if you are unable to speak to tell the operator your location, or if the Services are not operational for any reason.

1.11 Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification. We do not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using our 911 Dialing service are answered or addressed by any local emergency response center. We disclaim all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centers and the national emergency calling center. We rely on third parties to assist us in routing 911 Dialing calls to local emergency response centers and to a national emergency calling center. We disclaim 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 Cytracom nor its officers or employees may be held liable for any claim, damage, or loss, and you hereby waive any and all such claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to our 911 Dialing service unless such claims or causes of action arose from our recklessness or willful misconduct. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Cytracom, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to you in connection the Service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney's fees) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Services, including 911 Dialing, incorrectly routed 911 Dialing calls, and/or the inability of any user of the Services to be able to use 911 Dialing or access emergency service personnel.
