conduct protection such as suspending long distance communication. In this regard, if a Customer reaches

measures, Customer might have to wait until the next billing period or make a payment in order to

9. Service Disclaimer.
-
EMERGENCY SERVICES - 911 DIALING
-
911 Dialing. 911 Dialing is different than traditional 911 service.
Most of our customers (WiFi and SoftPhone customers have specific access under conditions set forth
below) have or will 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 simultaneously sent to the local
emergency center assigned to your location, and emergency operators have access to the information
they need to send help and call you back if necessary. Customers in locations where the emergency
center is not equipped to receive your telephone number and address have basic 911. With basic 911,
the local emergency operator answering the call will not have your call back number or your exact
location, so you must be prepared to give them this information. Until you give the operator your
phone number, he/she may not be able to call you back or dispatch help if the call is not completed
or is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak. As additional local
emergency centers become capable of receiving our customers' information, LD TELECOM will automatically
upgrade customers with basic 911 to E911 service. LD TELECOM will not give you notice of the upgrade.
Certain customers do not have access to either basic 911 or E911. If you don't have access to basic 911
or E911 your 911 call will be sent to the Emergency Call Relay Center ("ECRC"). A trained agent at the
emergency call center should ask for the name, telephone number and location of the customer calling 911,
and then contact the local emergency center for such customer in order to send help. Examples of
situations where 911 calls will be sent to the ECRC center include when there is a problem validating
or confirming a customer's address, the customer is identified with an international location, or the
customer is located in an area that is not covered by the landline 911 network. In addition, if you use
WiFi or SoftPhones, you may provide your initial physical location address for 911 purposes for each
phone and, due to the portable nature of these Devices, your 911 calls will be routed to the ECRC unless
you provide your address for 911 purposes. If you use a WiFi or SoftPhone, you should immediately
change your physical location address for 911 purposes pursuant to Section 9(A)(iii) if you move
locations of use of phone. If you use a SoftPhone and any desktop IP phone, you should immediately
change your physical location address for 911 purposes pursuant to Section 9(A)(iii) if you move
locations of use of phone. Please note that a phone that is an extension of a main phone line does not
have an independent address location designated for 911 purposes and the only address 911 Emergency
Personnel will have on record is that designated to the main phone line. Accordingly, phones that
are extensions of main phone lines can not be moved from the location assigned for 911 purposes. If a
main phone line is relocated or moved from its current location, Client must change the address of its
location for 911 purposes pursuant to Section 9(A)(iii). If an extension phone line is not at the same
location as the main phone line, a 911 caller must inform the 911 Emergency Personnel of the correct
location. AS TO PHONES THAT HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED A UNITED STATES AND CANADA TEN DIGIT PHONE NUMBER AS
THE PRIMARY NUMBER, IN LIGHT OF THE PORTABLE NATURE OF WIFI PHONES, SOFTPHONES, AND OTHER PHONES,
INCLUDING DESKTOP PHONES, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CHANGE YOUR PHYSICAL LOCATION FOR 911 PURPOSES
TO INSURE 911 HAS YOUR CORRECT LOCATION. YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR PHYSICAL LOCATION PURSUANT TO THE
MECHANISM SET FORTH IN SECTION 9(A)(iii) BELOW. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY CLAIMS AGAINST LD TELECOM AND
ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENTS AND AFFILIATED OR RELATED ENTITIES ARISING OUT OF ANY
CLAIMS IN CONNECTION WITH 911 SERVICES AND ANY INCORRECT REPORTING TO OR BY 911 PERSONNEL OF THE
PHYSICAL LOCATION OR ADDRESS IN CONNECTION WITH A 911 CALL.
You authorize LD TELECOM to disclose your name and address to third-parties involved with providing 911
Dialing to you, including, without limitation, call routers, call centers and local emergency centers.
-
Notice to All Users. You should inform any household residents, guests and other third persons who
may be present at the physical location where you utilize the Service of the important differences
in and limitations of 911 Dialing as compared with basic 911 or E911. The documentation that
accompanies each Device that you purchase may include a sticker concerning the potential
non-availability of basic 911 or E911 (the '911 Sticker'). It is your responsibility, in accordance
with the instructions that accompany each Device, to place the 911 Sticker on each Device that you
use with the Service.
-
Registration of Physical Location. Registration of Physical Location. For each phone number
that you use for Service, you must register with LD TELECOM the physical location where you
will be using the Service 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 registered address which is incorrect
for the 911 purpose. You will register your initial location of use when you subscribe to the Service.
Thereafter, you may register a new location by following the instructions from the '911' registration
link on LD TELECOM'S Website www.nexogy.com. For purposes of the 911 Dialing feature, you may only
register one location at a time for each phone line you use with the Service.
-
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 Service,
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 Service,
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 Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.
-
(c) Service Outage Due to Termination of Your LD TELECOM Account. Service outages due to termination
of your account will prevent all Service, 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 Service is provided or otherwise impede the usage of the Service. 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 Service is impeded, and unless and until the
blocking or impediment is removed or the blocking or impediment is otherwise resolved, your Service,
including the 911 Dialing feature, may not function. You acknowledge that LD TELECOM is not
responsible for the blocking of ports by your ISP or broadband provider or any other impediment to
your usage of the Service, and any loss of service, including 911 Dialing, which may result.
In the event you lose service as a result of blocking of ports or any other impediment to your usage
of the Service, you will continue to be responsible for payment of the Service charges unless and
until you terminate the Service in accordance with this Agreement.
-
(e) Other Service Outages. If there is a Service outage for any reason, such outage will prevent all Service, 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.
-
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.
-
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 Service as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone
networks.
-
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 or national 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 LD TELECOM nor its present or former affiliates, owners,
directors, officers or employees may be held liable for any claim, damage, or loss, and you hereby
waive all such claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to our 911 Dialing service.
Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LD TELECOM, its officers, directors, owners,
employees, affiliated and related entities, agents, representatives and any other service provider
who furnishes services or products to you in connection with the Service, from all claims, losses,
damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees and costs)
by, or on behalf of, you or any third party relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service,
including 911 Dialing, dialing that results from outages, incorrect routing information, including
physical location, Service interruption and non-accessibility, and/or the inability of any user of the
Service to be able to use 911 Dialing or access emergency service personnel.
-
Alternate 911 Arrangements. If you are not comfortable with the limitations of the 911 Dialing service,
you should consider having an alternate means of accessing traditional 911 or E911 services or
terminating the Service.
-
State and/or local governments may assess fees to LD TELECOM to pay for emergency services in your
community. If so, these fees will be included on your invoice.
-
Services Not Provided. LD TELECOM'S Service does not provide for 0+ calling (including without limitation
collect, third party billing, 900 or calling card calling). LD TELECOM'S Service does not support 311, 511
or other x11 (other than 911 and 411). LD TELECOM does not list phone numbers for Customers in phone
directories. Accordingly, the phone numbers Customers obtain from LD TELECOM may not be listed in any phone
directories. In addition, in certain countries, toll-free numbers are not accessible from mobile phones and
payphones or may require payment before accessing.
-
Customer acknowledges and agrees that LD TELECOM is not responsible for ensuring the availability of an
international number Customer is adding to its Nexogy line or Service (referred to and may be sold by LD
TELECOM as an "International Local Number") because the international number may be provided by a third
party which LD TELECOM does not control. Accordingly, the International Local Number may be cancelled,
ported or eliminated by the third party provider and, therefore, it may be necessary for Customer to change
the international number. Once the service is cancelled by Customer, the International Local Number may be
reassigned to another. LD TELECOM is not responsible for ensuring that said International Local Number can
be ported to another service provider anywhere.
-
Customer acknowledges and agrees that local and toll-free numbers cannot be used for calling card applications.

TELECOM'S Services. Certain equipment and products may use a different software and firmware version not
