LEGAL – 911 SERVICE AVAILABILITY

Digital Future’s business telephone service differs from telephone service offered by traditional telephone carriers. These differences include differences in how 911 calls are handled. Some of the most important differences are explained below.

SERVICE LIMITATIONS

Digital Future’s business telephone service (the “Services”) will not function if a customer loses electrical power, if the customer experiences interrupted connection to its broadband internet service, or if the customer cannot connect to Digital Future’s platform because of an obstruction on the customer’s wide area network or local area network, such as a port blocked by the customer’s internet service provider. These limitations also apply to Digital Future’s 911 dialing service (“Digital Future 911 Dialing”).

The Services, including Digital Future 911 Dialing, may not be accessible from a particular phone or other calling device if that device is not configured correctly or otherwise malfunctions.

The Services are not set up to provide the autodialing functionality sometimes relied on by security systems, medical monitoring equipment, TTY equipment, etc. Customers should not rely on the Services to provide this functionality.

E911

Enhanced 911 (“E911”) service is 911 service which includes automatic forwarding of location and callback information to emergency responders at a 911 answering point. Automatic forwarding of this information can assist emergency responders and can facilitate callback if a 911 call is dropped before completion. The information forwarded by the E911 system is called Automatic Location Information (“ALI”) and Automatic Number Information (“ANI”).

To facilitate E911 service, Digital Future requires each customer to register a physical address for each calling device on the customer’s PBX. The customer must provide an accurate and physical address for each device. The customer must also provide an updated address if the physical location of a device changes. The customer may notify Digital Future of changes by submitting a request to support@dfcloudpbx.com.

After a customer provides address information for a device, there may be some delay before automatic forwarding of ALI/ANI is enabled. Digital Future will notify the customer when automatic forwarding of ALI/ANI has been enabled.

A device’s registered address is the only means by which to route a E911 call to the geographically-assigned E911 answering point. Therefore, if the customer registers incorrect ALI/ANI information, E911 call routing may not function correctly. If the geographically-assigned E911 answering point is unavailable, E911 calls may be forwarded to a different 911 answering point.

Some 911 answering points are not equipped to receive ALI/ANI information. When an E911 call is directed to a 911 answering point that isn’t equipped to receive ALI/ANI information, the caller will need to provide location and callback information verbally.

As with Digital Future 911 Dialing generally, E911 service will not function if the Services do not function and will be inaccessible from a particular device if the Services are inaccessible from that device.

Notice to Users of Digital Future 911 Dialing

Each Digital Future customer is responsible to notify any individuals who may place calls using the Services of the limitations of Digital Future 911 Dialing as described in this policy. Digital Future will provide the customer with warning labels informing callers of the limitations contained in this policy and the customer is responsible to place them on or near each calling device used with the Services. If a customer has not received labels or needs additional labels, it may request them from Digital Future’s Support by submitting a request to support@dfcloudpbx.com.

In light of the limitations of Digital Future 911 Dialing discussed above, Digital Future recommends that each customer maintain 911 failover services or another alternate means to access traditional 911 dialing service.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Professional Services Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to the person or organization (“Customer” or “you”) purchasing professional services from Digital Future (“Digital Future” or “us” or “we”) pursuant to a mutually agreed to statement of work or similar document between the parties (“SOW”). These Terms are incorporated in and made a part of all SOWs. Each of Customer and Digital Future may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, a SOW is governed by the terms and conditions referenced in the underlying ordering document (“Order”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Order.

  1. Overview. In connection with an Order, you have requested that Digital Future provide certain configuration and implementation services related to Digital Future’s software-as-a-service offerings as more fully described in the applicable SOW (the “Professional Services” or “Services”). Any Professional Services not expressly described in the SOW are deemed out of scope and subject to a separate scoping exercise and mutually agreed to statement of work between the Parties, including additional charges as set forth therein. We may update these Terms from time to time, which will be identified by the last updated date, and may be reviewed at https://www.dfcloudpx.com/legal/professional-services.
  2. Customer Materials. In order to perform the Professional Services, we require access to certain Customer owned or separately licensed materials, such as content libraries, logos, trademarks, information, facilities, software, hosted platforms, APIs, personnel, systems and infrastructure (“Customer Materials”). Customer retains ownership of the Customer Materials and grants Digital Future a limited license to access, use and modify the Customer Materials as reasonably necessary to enable Digital Future to provide the Professional Services. Customer represents and warrants that it has all rights and consents necessary to provide the foregoing license to Digital Future. Our obligation to provide the Professional Services shall be contingent upon your timely provision of the Customer Materials to us.
  3. Project Management and Governance. As needed based on the scope of the SOW, we will assign a project manager to proactively manage and control the scope and budget of the project as well as direct the work of our resources. We agree that all personnel who perform the Professional Services by or on behalf of Digital Future (“Personnel”) are (and shall remain during the delivery of the PROFESSIONAL SERVICES) (i) either regular, full or part-time employees or subcontractors that have valid work authorizations to the extent required by applicable law; and (ii) bound by agreements that contain obligations related to intellectual property and confidentiality no less restrictive than those set forth herein. We retain the exclusive right to select the Personnel that will provide the Professional Services and to make changes as required in our discretion. We are fully responsible for the performance of such Personnel who are providing Professional Services in connection with the SOW.
  4. Deliverables. We will provide the Professional Services in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with our standard procedures and methodology as outlined in the SOW. Upon Customer’s payment of all relevant fees due pursuant the SOW, Digital Future grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, license to use the Deliverables (as defined below) provided to Customer by Digital Future solely in connection with Customer’s access to and use of the relevant Digital Future software-as-a-service offerings to which the Deliverables relate for Customer’s internal business purposes during the applicable subscription term set forth in the relevant Order. Subject to the foregoing license right, (i) Digital Future owns the Deliverables (excluding any Customer Materials contained therein) and all intellectual property used by or on behalf of Digital Future in providing the Professional Services, including without limitation, all processes, know-how, code, data, reports and related materials (and modifications or derivatives thereof); and (ii) Digital Future reserves all rights not expressly granted herein to the Deliverables and all intellectual property rights described in subsection (i) above. Nothing contained herein limits Digital Future’s right to develop, use, market, or sell services or products that are similar to the Deliverables or Professional Services provided pursuant to a SOW, or to use such Deliverables (excluding Customer Materials, as defined below) to perform similar services for any other purposes, including without limitation in connection with other projects and customers. “Deliverables” means any tangible or intangible work product that is created, conceived, developed or otherwise generated by or on behalf of Digital Future in its performance of the Professional Services, including any modifications or derivatives thereof, such as documents, reports, data, models, processes, software, scripts, analysis, specifications, integrations, APIs, interfaces, programs, and other materials and results.
  5. Acceptance and Completion. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the applicable SOW, all Professional Services will be deemed completed when we provide you notification of completion of Professional Services, which may be provided via email. To the extent that the Deliverables require review by you, as determined in our discretion or as otherwise expressly agreed upon in the SOW, we will notify you at the time of completion and provide an acceptance form. You shall have no more than 3 business days from the date that we provide such notification (“Notice Period”) to either (i) sign and return the acceptance form to us, at which point all Professional Services will be deemed completed or (ii) notify us of any material, bona fide issues or defects in the Deliverables that render them in material noncompliance with the specifications set forth in the SOW, provided that such notice shall contain reasonable detail and must be delivered to the Digital Future contact specified in the SOW in writing and must be received by us within the Notice Period, otherwise the acceptance form will be deemed approved and the Professional Services will be complete. You may only reject the Deliverables if they fail to materially conform to the agreed upon specifications set forth in the SOW. In the case of a notification of defect as set forth in (ii) above, if we determine in our sole and reasonable discretion that such issue or defect is material and a result of our performance of the Professional Services, we will make reasonable efforts to correct and redeliver the Deliverables promptly upon receipt of such notice, at which point the Professional Services will be deemed completed and accepted.
  6. Fees and Timeline. The fees for Professional Services will be set forth in the applicable SOW or Order (the “Fees”). Unless otherwise expressly stated in the SOW or Order, all Fees are non-refundable, non-cancellable and due upon the effective date of the relevant SOW. For the avoidance of doubt, license fees or other fees related to access and use of the Digital Future software-as-a-service offerings are outside of and in addition to the Fees due in payable in connection with the Professional Services. Any specific timeline for completion of the Professional Services shall be set forth in the SOW.
  7. General Assumptions. Our obligation to perform the Professional Services is contingent upon the fulfillment of certain obligations and assumptions as follows:
    1. Prior to commencement of the Professional Services, you will designate a person known as the Customer Project Manager who will have the authority to act on behalf of you in all matters regarding the SOW. This single point of contact will be responsible for facilitating all communications between you and us and for cooperating as to issue resolution, activity scheduling, interview scheduling, and information collection and dissemination. The timeliness of communications and other activities will directly affect our ability to meet agreed upon schedule deadlines;
    2. You will ensure that we have access to the account(s) associated with the relevant Digital Future software-as-a-service offerings and all related infrastructure, networks and facilities;
    3. If onsite work is required and agreed upon in the SOW, you will provide us with a work area for Personnel while on site, which shall include access to any required network, servers, printers, Internet connection (to support a Virtual Private Network connection), and a working telephone;
    4. Project delays resulting from Customer-owned (or licensed) software or hardware issues may result in additional fees should the timeline of the project be impacted by these delays;
    5. Professional Services are performed during our normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm local time, excluding holidays). To the extent that you require Professional Services to be provided outside of normal business hours, if acceptable to us in our reasonable discretion, we may issue a Change Order as described in the SOW, which may include an increase to the applicable Fees;
    6. The Fees are independent of any travel or other expenses incurred by us in relation to onsite work and related charges, which shall be separately invoiced by us, as applicable; and
    7. Unless expressly included in a SOW, (i) the scope of Professional Services does not include system administration activities such as creating user accounts, adding users to groups, managing attribute lookup data and related activities; (ii) we not provide hosting or operational support of any middleware logic, applications or related assets.

VOIP SERVICES

Digital Future’s PREMHost CloudPBX Service offering provides users cloud-based VoIP, video, messaging, and contact center services and associated enabling hardware.

  • Technical Sufficiency Criteria. Our PREMHost CloudPBX Services require a properly-configured, high performance, enterprise-grade broadband IP network and connection. Use of the PREMHost CloudPBX Services with any network, services, or connection not compatible with the PREMHost CloudPBX Services may result in partial or complete unavailability, interruption, or underperformance of the PREMHost CloudPBX Services or other services utilizing the same network, services, or connection. Customer will provide and maintain, at its own cost, an IP network, services, and connection meeting the foregoing standard and all equipment necessary for the PREMHost CloudPBX Services to connect to and use such network, services, and connection.
  • Adding or Removing Services. You may add users to your account at any time. We determine the number of users on your service on the final day of the month and will charge your account accordingly. To reduce the number of users, or to terminate this agreement, you must notify us no less than 30 days before the end of the Term, and the reduction or termination will take effect after the end of the then-current Term. For the purposes of this Addendum, “Service Charges” means fixed monthly charges for the Services on your account.
  • Rates. The VoIP Services include specified bundled local and long distance minutes for calling to the applicable landline and mobile phone number (excluding information service/special number prefixing) within the U.S. 48 and Canada. Out of country (international calling) would adhere to the applicable VoIP Service’s international calling plan with rates defined by country and call type (i.e., landline or mobile). All other calls will be billed based on the current regional standard rates set forth in the applicable calling plan. Standard rates are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to revise rates once per year at any time after the Initial Term and upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. Pricing may also change due to regulatory requirements, market conditions, or other pass through charges.
  • Emergency (911) Services.
    • 911 Service Availability and Use. You acknowledge (1) that you have read and understood our 911 Service Policy, which is available at www.dfcloudpbx.com/legal/911-service-policy, and (2) that the 911 dialing service we offer differs from 911 dialing service offered by traditional telephone carriers in the ways described in the 911 Service Policy, including that 911 Dialing will not function if you lose electrical power or broadband internet connection or if anything on your wide area network or local area network blocks your connection to our platform. Also, 911 Dialing will not function if we have deactivated the Services for any reason, including your non-payment.
    • Physical Location Information. You must provide us the physical location of each device used to make or receive calls, and we will not activate a device until we have received this information. If you relocate any device, you must promptly notify our Support Department of the device’s new location by submitting a support ticket and you must pay any fees associated with updating the location database. For the purposes of this Addendum, a “device” is a physical phone, soft phone, fax machine, analog telephone adapter, or other device used to make or receive calls using the Service.
    • Callback Information. Location and callback information associated with a device will normally be automatically forwarded to an “emergency dispatch center,” defined as any local or national answering point for 911 calls, when using 911 Dialing. Because some emergency dispatch centers are not equipped to receive such location and callback information, you acknowledge that you may need to provide location and callback information verbally. Automatic forwarding of location and callback information is not activated for any device until we notify you by e-mail that it has been activated.
  • Regulatory Recovery Fees. Except where prohibited by applicable law, we may charge a monthly regulatory recovery fee in connection with any telephony services provided to you within the United States, to offset costs we incur in complying with inquiries and obligations imposed on us by federal, state, municipal, and/or other regulatory bodies and government agencies. This fee is not a tax or charge required or assessed by any government. We may increase or decrease the regulatory recovery fee without notice.
  • Reasonable Use.
    • “Unlimited” Usage. You acknowledge that: (a) any reference we have made to “unlimited” minutes or features refers to our practice not to charge for the Services on a per-minute or per-use basis when use is reasonable; and (b) that we do not offer “unlimited” plans for call center operations, fax spamming, or other activities that use an unusual amount of connectivity to the public switched telephone network (the “PSTN”). We may limit PSTN connectivity, impose per-minute charges for excessive use, or terminate this agreement if we determine that your average per-user PSTN connectivity exceeds the monthly aggregate total of 1,500 minutes per month multiplied by the total number of users authorized for your account.
    • Use Limits. We may block calls or call destinations we believe are associated with toll fraud or traffic pumping and may suspend or terminate Services we believe were obtained by subscription fraud.
  • Equipment and Additional Products.
    • Purchase and Cancellation. You acknowledge that except as set forth below, all equipment purchases are final and non-refundable. Cancelling an equipment purchase does not terminate the Agreement or any Services you have purchased. You may cancel an equipment order you have previously placed: (a) by notifying us no later than 24 hours after submitting the Order; or (b) if, after more than 24 hours from Order submission, you deliver written notice to us no more than 30 days after submitting the Order and pay a 25% restocking fee for all cancelled or rejected equipment purchases. We will not issue a refund until the equipment is returned to us. Returned equipment must be in like-new condition in original packaging. In addition to the restocking fee, you must pay all costs to replace damaged equipment or missing components or packaging.
    • Shipment. All equipment is sold FOB our shipping point unless otherwise noted. Delivery of equipment to our or another loading point will constitute delivery to you, and regardless of shipping terms, you will bear all risk of loss or damage in transit.
    • Manufacturer’s Warranty. We assign you any and all rights we have under any manufacturer’s warranty for equipment you purchase from us. We may, in our discretion, assist you in obtaining replacement equipment or equipment service under the manufacturer’s warranty.
    • Equipment Rental. If you are renting any equipment from us, whether the rental is separately listed on the Order or is bundled with Services, the terms of that equipment rental agreement, are hereby incorporated by reference.
    • PREMHost Business Continuity. If you are purchasing a subscription to the PREMHost Business Continuity service, the terms of that network services agreement, are hereby incorporated by reference.
    • SD-WAN Purchase. If you are purchasing SD-WAN services, the terms of that SD-WAN purchase agreement, are hereby incorporated by reference.
  • Term & Termination.
    • Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms of Service, the Initial Term begins on the Effective Date and will continue for the duration specified on the Order, measured from the first day of the month following the Effective Date. After the Initial Term, the Services will automatically renew on an annual basis (each, a “Renewal Term”).
    • Early Termination. If you terminate the Agreement or the Services purchased hereunder for any reason (except for our material breach), or if we terminate the Agreement or the Services purchased hereunder due to your breach, you will remain responsible for all applicable Service Charges through the end of the Term.

After the Initial Term, the Services will, unless otherwise specified in the Service Description for a particular Service, automatically renew for additional 12-month periods (“Renewal Terms”), unless either party provides notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the current term expires. You may provide notice of non-renewal for each Service you do not wish to renew at accounting@dfcloudpbx.com. We may agree to align the invoicing under multiple Orders but this will not reduce the term of any Order. Terminating specific Services does not affect the term of any other Services still in effect. If we permit you to reinstate Services at any time after termination, you agree that you will be bound by the then-current Terms and the renewal date that was in effect as of the effective termination date.
  • 3.2. Termination for Cause.

  • 3.3. Effect of Termination. If the Agreement or any Services are terminated, your account may be converted to a “free” or “basic” version of the Service, if available, at our discretion. Otherwise, you will immediately discontinue all use of the terminated Services. Neither party will be liable for any damages resulting from termination of the Agreement, and termination will not affect any claim arising prior to the effective termination date. If we discontinue Services or materially reduce the core functionality in accordance with Section 1.3 above, the related Order will be terminated and we will provide you with a pro rata refund of any prepaid, unused fees. You agree to pay for any use of the Services past the date of expiration or termination which have not been converted to a free version of the Service.
