(g) Number Porting: MTA will use reasonable efforts to facilitate the transfer of phone numbers from your current phone service to MTA. Number porting is subject to availability and coverage will vary from time to time. To complete the number porting process, MTA depends and relies on the third parties outside of MTA’s control.

MTA SPECIFICALLY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE THAT YOUR SERVICES, THE ACCOUNT(S), OR THE EQUIPMENT (OR THE USE OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING BY ANY PARTY) COMPLIES OR WILL COMPLY WITH HIPAA OR ANY OTHER LAW OR WILL RENDER ANY PARTY COMPLIANT WITH HIPAA OR ANY OTHER LAW.
(a) Acceptable Use Policy: We provide the Equipment and Services for normal business usage within your place of business. The use of the term “unlimited” as it appears on MTA packaging, in sponsored advertising, on the MTA web site, and in third party marketing materials, or in any other location refers to normal business phone usage as defined herein. You agree to use the Equipment only in a manner consistent with normal business usage patterns. Unlimited voice calling is intended for continuous, live conversation between two individuals. Lack of continuous conversation, unusual calling patterns, excessive caller and calling destinations and/or excessive usage will be considered as indicators that your use of the Equipment may be inconsistent with normal business usage. It may also indicate that the Equipment is being used in a manner not allowed by your Service plan and may result in review of your account and usage history. Failure to contact MTA in response to our notification and/or failure to bring usage levels to normal levels in a timely fashion will result, in MTA’s sole discretion, in immediate mandatory transfer to a calling plan that charges significantly higher per minute usage rates. You acknowledge that if Service to your Equipment is terminated for abnormal usage patterns, you are subject to all applicable usage and service fees for the time periods in which your use of the Equipment was inconsistent with normal small business usage.
(b) General Prohibited Use: You are prohibited from using the Equipment for auto-dialing, predictive-dialing, continuous or extensive call conferencing, trunking or continuous or extensive call forwarding, telemarketing (including, without limitation, charitable or political solicitation or polling), operating a call center, resale of service, fax or voicemail spamming, broadcasting or blasting. Unusually high usage may interfere with MTA’s or MTA’s suppliers, vendors or third party carriers ability to provide Services to its customers and may indicate unauthorized use of Services. You agree we have the right to suspend or terminate your Service and charge you all applicable usage and service fees if we conclude you are using the Service for a prohibited use.
(c) Unlawful and Inappropriate Use or Conduct: You shall use the Equipment and Services only for lawful purposes. You shall not use the Equipment or a Service in any way that is threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another’s privacy, or in any similar manner. If we believe that you have used the Equipment or any of our Services for unlawful or inappropriate purposes or have attempted theft or fraud, we may forward the relevant communication and other information, including your identity, to the appropriate authorities and third parties for investigation and prosecution. You hereby consent to our forwarding of any such communications and information to those authorities and third parties.

(g) Unsolicited Advertisements and TCPA Compliance: Certain communication practices – including without limitation, the placing of unsolicited calls; the placing of commercial messages; the sending of unsolicited facsimile, internet facsimile, SMS, or other messages; and the use of certain automated telephone equipment to place certain calls – are regulated in the United States by the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (also known as the “TCPA”) (available at http://www.fcc.gov/document/telephone-consumer-protection-act-1991), the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, and under a number of similar state, municipal or local laws, regulations, codes, ordinances and rules, and in Canada by the CRTC pursuant to Canada’s Anti-Spam Law (“CASL”) (available at http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/E-1.6/index.html). You agree, represent and warrant that:
At MTA’s sole option and without further notice, MTA may use technologies and procedures, including without limitation, filters, that may block or terminate such unsolicited advertisements without delivering them. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MTA, and any third-party MTA(s) including Supplier from any and all third party claims, losses, damages, fines, or penalties arising: (i) out of your violation or alleged violation of the TCPA, Junk Fax Prevention Act, CASL, or any similar regulation or legislation; or (ii) otherwise related to any voicemail, text, and/or fax spam, solicitations, or commercial messages that you may send and/or receive using the Services.
(h) Privacy and Data Protection Laws: Data protection and privacy laws where you live may impose certain responsibilities on you and your use of the Equipment and Services.. You agree that you (and not MTA) are responsible for ensuring that you comply with any applicable laws when you use the Equipment and Services, including, but not limited to, (i) any laws relating to the recording or sharing of video or audio content that includes third parties or public spaces, or (ii) any laws requiring notice to third parties, or consent or explicit consent of third parties with respect to your use of the Equipment.
Customer acknowledges and understands that it is Customer’s responsibility to determine the technology or combination of technologies best suited to meet Customer’s emergency calling needs and to make necessary provisions for access to emergency calling services (such as maintaining a conventional landline phone or wireless phone as a backup means of completing emergency calls).
Emergency Services – 911 Calling
(a) Non-Availability of Traditional 911 or E911 Calling Service. MTA E911 Service (the “E911 Service”) is a mandatory component of the Services and is only available in certain areas. Most customers have access to either Basic 911 Service or Enhanced 911 Service. The E911 Service enables Customers to communicate with emergency services by dialing 911. However, the E911 Service is different in important ways from traditional landline 911 and cellular/wireless 911, depending upon where Customer is located and the device used with the Services. Customer agrees to notify any user or potential user of the Services who may place calls using Customer’s Services of the 911 limitations described herein. Customer agrees to place a label on and/or near each telephone or other Customer Equipment on which the Services may be utilized regarding the limitations or unavailability of 911 emergency dialing.
Description of Emergency Dialing Capabilities.
How it Works. When a Customer dials 911 from a device connected to or used with the Services (a “MTA device”), the MTA phone number and the registered address Customer has provided to MTA is sent to the local emergency center serving the location of your registered address to enable emergency operators to send help and to call the Customer back, if necessary (“Enhanced 911 Service”). In some areas, emergency operators have access to this information; however, in areas where only basic 911 service is available, the emergency operator answering the call may not be able to see your MTA telephone number or your registered address. Customers in locations in which the emergency center is not equipped to receive the Customer’s telephone number and/or address have what is called “Basic 911 Service.” Customer should always be prepared to provide the emergency operator with Customer’s telephone number and location. Until the Customer gives the requisite call back and location information to the emergency operator, the emergency operator may not be able to dispatch help or return the Customer’s call. This is especially the case if the call is not completed or forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, or if the Customer is unable to speak. As local emergency centers become capable of receiving Customer’s address and call back information, MTA will automatically upgrade customers with Basic 911 service to Enhanced 911 Service. MTA will not provide notice of the upgrade. MTA does not control whether or not the emergency operator receives Customer’s telephone number and address.
No Access to Enhanced or Basic 911 Service. Certain Customers do not have access to either Enhanced 911 Service or Basic 911 Service. If Customer does not have access to Enhanced 911 Service or Basic 911 Service, the Customer’s emergency call will be sent to a national emergency call center. In such case, an agent at the emergency call center will ask the Customer for his/her name, telephone number and location and will then contact the local emergency center for such location in order to send help. Examples of situations where 911 calls will be sent to the national emergency call center include when there is a problem validating 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 911 network. Until Customer gives the agent Customer’s telephone number and location, he/she may not be able to call Customer back or dispatch help to Customer’s location if the call is dropped or disconnected.
Desktop or Softphone App 911 Calls. EMERGENCY CALLS CANNOT BE PLACED THROUGH SOFTPHONES THAT ARE NOT 911-ENABLED. If Customer uses a Desktop or Softphone app, 911 calls will be routed to the local emergency center serving the 911 location that is associated with the Desktop or Softphone app. Therefore, if Customer is using the Desktop or Softphone app in a nomadic manner (e.g., from a hotel, from a home office, etc.), the Customer must update the 911 location on an ongoing basis to ensure that 911 calls will be sent to the appropriate local emergency center that serves the then current Customer location.
E911 Service Fees. Customers are required to subscribe to the E911 Service and will be subject to monthly, government-imposed fees (the “E911 Service Fees”), which are in addition to any applicable state 911 tax based on Customer’s service address and in addition to the applicable Service Fees for the associated line(s). If the E911 Service Fees are not paid, the emergency communications district in Customer’s jurisdiction may seek to collect such amounts from Customer directly. MTA does not profit from Customer’s E911 Service and the E911 Service Fees collected are turned over to the appropriate government authority pursuant to their requirements. MTA reserves the right to adjust the E911 Service Fees associated with the provision of the E911 Service to reflect increases or decreases in the costs it incurs in providing the E911 Service.
(b) Registered Location Required. Upon creation of the Customer account, MTA initially assigns all extensions and MTA devices to the physical street address on file for the Customer. Prior to activation of the Services, Customer shall: (i) register with MTA all additional 911 locations where the Services are to be used, as necessary; and (ii) assign each MTA device to one of the registered 911 locations. In some cases, one extension may have multiple MTA devices, and each such MTA device needs to be assigned a 911 location. Customer may register multiple 911 locations per account and assign all active extensions and MTA devices to such 911 locations. Individual end users may assign and re-assign their current location(s) on an as-needed basis. Customer agrees to ensure that the physical location(s) provided to MTA are correct, and to immediately update such location(s) whenever the physical location(s) of the MTA devices change. If an MTA device will be used in a different or new location, Customer must create and/or register the location for the MTA device. If Customer does not register the new location, any 911 call made from the MTA device may be sent to an emergency center near the prior, registered location. In most cases, the registration process occurs in real-time. In some cases, the registration will be referred to a 911 MTA for validation, which could take days. Customer (i) acknowledges and understands that any location information passed to emergency personnel by MTA will be based upon the physical location information provided by the Customer, and (ii) agrees to promptly assist MTA in validating a 911 location address that has been rejected by the 911 MTA. Customer will receive a confirmation email when the 911 location has been validated for: (i) the initial registered location; and (ii) for any subsequent locations submitted by Customer. If MTA is unable to validate the address Customer provides during the registration process, MTA may terminate Customer’s account.
(c) Use of Service Outside United States or Canada. Customer acknowledges that if a user of the Services calls 911 from outside the United States or Canada, the user may be instructed to hang up and call their local service MTA. Customer shall notify all users (i.e., business colleagues, employees, guests and other persons who may be present at the physical location where Customer uses the Services) that 911 may not be available outside the United States and Canada and that 911 service may be limited in comparison to traditional 911 service. For clarity, 911 service is available only in the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, and Canada, and is not provided in any US territory or in other international locations.
(d) Failure to Designate and Identify the Correct Physical Address. Customer’s failure to provide and keep current Customer’s correct physical location(s) may result in any 911 call or other emergency communication made by Customer or from Customer’s actual location (if different from the location previously supplied to MTA by Customer) being routed to the incorrect local emergency service MTA. Most post office box addresses are not eligible as a validated 911 location. Customer’s physical location(s) may NOT be a mail drop or similar address. If Customer dials 911 before Customer’s registered location has been entered in the emergency operator’s database, Customer’s call will be routed to a national emergency call center. Customer acknowledges that MTA’s only mechanism for routing 911 calls to the correct emergency call taker is the physical location currently registered for Customer’s account. Customer acknowledges and understands that any enhanced location information passed to an emergency operator by MTA will be based upon the physical location provided to MTA by Customer. In the event the physical location has not been updated or is not complete, MTA may attempt to route a 911 call based upon the bill to or ship to address associated with Customer’s account or initial order.
(e) Mobile Applications. Any MTA mobile application (each a “Mobile App”), if applicable, is not a replacement for your cellular service. However, this does not prevent you using your mobile phone for making emergency calls via your cellular carrier as normal. YOU SHOULD NOT USE YOUR MOBILE APP FOR DIALING 911 UNLESS YOU ARE LOCATED AT THE PHYSICAL ADDRESS THAT YOU HAVE REGISTERED FOR THE PHONE NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR MOBILE APP. IF YOU DIAL OR TEXT 911 WHEN USING YOUR MOBILE APP, YOUR CALL WILL BE ROUTED TO THE EMERGENCY CALL TAKER ASSOCIATED WITH THE PHYSICAL LOCATION YOU HAVE REGISTERED FOR THE PHONE NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH THE APP. TO ENSURE PROPER CALL ROUTING, WHEN MAKING 911 CALLS WITH YOUR MOBILE DEVICE, YOU SHOULD MAKE SUCH CALLS USING YOUR CELLULAR CONNECTION AND NETWORK THROUGH YOUR CELLULAR CARRIER.
Service Outage
Automated Number Identification.
Due to limitations at public-safety answering points (“PSAP(s)”), it may not be possible for the PSAP and the local emergency personnel to identify Customer’s telephone number (or the number assigned by MTA) when Customer dials 911 via the Services. PSAP and emergency personnel may be unable to identify Customer’s telephone number in order to call Customer back in the event that an emergency call is unable to be completed, is dropped or disconnected, or if a caller is unable to speak to provide the telephone number from which the caller is calling, and/or if the Services is not operational for any reason including, without limitation, the reasons and situations listed elsewhere in this E911 Notice or the Agreement.
Automated Location Identification.
Due to limitations at PSAPs, it may not be possible to transmit identification of the Customer physical location address to the PSAP and local emergency personnel for Customer’s area when Customer or any caller at Customer’s premises dials 911. A caller must state the nature of the emergency promptly and clearly, including the caller’s specific physical location, as PSAP and emergency personnel may NOT have this information. PSAP and emergency personnel may not be able to find a caller’s location if the call is unable to be completed, is dropped, or disconnected, or if the caller is unable to speak to provide the location from which the caller is calling and/or if the Services are not operational for any reason including, without limitation, those reasons and situations listed elsewhere in this E911 Notice or the Agreement.
(a) Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification: WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER WHETHER, OR THE MANNER IN WHICH, CALLS USING OUR 911 DIALING SERVICES ARE ANSWERED OR ADDRESSED BY ANY EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER. WE DISCLAIM ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ABILITY OF THE EQUIPMENT TO CONNECT TO AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER, THE CONDUCT OF THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER AND THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY CALLING CENTER. WE RELY ON THIRD PARTIES TO ASSIST US IN ROUTING 911 CALLS TO 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. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE INTERNET CONNECTION OR MOBILE TELEPHONE CARRIER SERVICES UTILIZED BY YOU, NOR WHETHER YOU REGISTER ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT, ENTER IN THE CORRECT INFORMATION WHILE PROGRAMMING ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT ONLINE, TEST THE FUNCTION AND RANGE OF ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT AND THE MTA SERVICES, OR CHARGE THE EQUIPMENT, IF APPLICABLE. NEITHER MTA 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. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON THE SERVICES FOR ANY LIFE SAFETY OR CRITICAL PURPOSES. YOU SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS MTA, SUPPLIER, ITS AND THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, AND ASSIGNS, AND ANY OTHER SERVICE MTA WHO FURNISHES SERVICES TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES, FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, FINES, PENALTIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS’ FEES) BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY RELATING TO THE ABSENCE, FAILURE, OR OUTAGE OF THE EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING 911 DIALING, INCORRECTLY ROUTED 911 DIALING CALLS, AND/OR THE INABILITY OF ANY USER OF THE EQUIPMENT TO BE ABLE TO USE 911 DIALING, OR ACCESS EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE LIMITATIONS OF THE 911 DIALING SERVICE, YOU SHOULD HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF ACCESSING TRADITIONAL 911 SERVICES.
(b) Limitations on E911 Access: . E911 service is subject to availability within your calling jurisdiction. With E911 service, when you dial 911, your telephone number, and the service address you registered with MTA is simultaneously sent to the local emergency center assigned to your location. 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, capture, or retain your telephone number and address have basic 911 or limited E911. In addition, you may receive basic 911 or limited E911 if you are assigned a telephone number associated with a different geographic area than the one where you are using the Equipment, or if you dial 911 before your registered location has been entered in the emergency operator’s database. With basic 911 or limited E911, the local emergency operator answering the call may 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 dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak. Certain customers may 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 national emergency call center. A trained agent at the emergency call center will ask for the name, telephone number, and location of the customer calling 911, and will contact the local emergency center for such customer in order to send help. Examples of situations where 911 calls will be sent to the national emergency call center include when there is a problem validating 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. Emergency personnel do not receive your phone number or physical location when your 911 call is routed to the national emergency call center. You authorize us to disclose your name and address to third parties involved with providing 911 emergency services to you, including but, not limited to, call routers, call centers, and local emergency centers.
VoIP 911 LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR 911 ACCESS. THE SERVICE’s 911/ E911 ACCESS COMPONENT DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME FUNCTIONALITY OR AVAILABILITY AS THAT ASSOCIATED WITH TRADITIONAL WIRELINE 911/ E911 SERVICES and is subject to certain limitations and restrictions including those described herein. IN ADDITION TO THE BELOW, THERE CAN BE A GREATED POSSIBLIIYT OF NETWORK CONGESTION AND/OR REDUCED SPEED IN ROUTING OF A 911 DIALING CALL MADE UTILIZING VOIP SERVICE/EQUPIMENT AS COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL 911 DIALING OVER PUBLIC TELEPHONE NETWORKS. CUSTOMER AGREES TO NOTIFY ANY POTENTIAL USER OF THE SERVICE OF THE 911/ E911 LIMITATIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN. Customer acknowledges, and is hereby on notice, that the 911/ E911 ACCESS portion of THE Service will not function or will not function properly for any of the reasons detailed BELOW and represents and warrants it has BEEN INFORMED BY MTA OF THE REASONS TO HAVE at least one backup method of accessing 911/e911 service, such as a circuit-switched TDM telephone or CELLULAR telephone, per customer location.
(c) Registration of Physical Location Required: For each phone line or user account that you utilize with the internet-only service, you must register with MTA the physical location where you will be using the Equipment with that phone line or user account. Your initial location will be registered as a part of new Equipment registration when you receive a new phone number from us. It is incumbent on you to confirm the accuracy of your physical address via your online account if you make any changes, additions, or transfer phone numbers to your account. If we cannot validate the address you provide during the registration process, your 911 call will be sent to the national emergency call center as described in section 9(b) above. If you move the Equipment to another location it should work without further registration, but you still MUST update your physical address in order to ensure proper 911 Dialing function. If you do not update your location, any 911 calls you make may be routed to an emergency center near your old address and may result in help being sent to the wrong location. Should you choose to use the MTA system overseas, you will not have access to emergency calling.
(d) Business Service: The customer who registers the Equipment location and who will have administrative access to the Administrative Portal is the administrator (the “Administrator”). The Administrator may update your main office location by logging into the online Administrative Portal. If you use the multi-site feature, you must register with MTA each physical location for each respective user account. As the Administrator, you agree and understand it is your responsibility to confirm the accuracy of the physical address for each user account and to make any changes or additions needed for each user account. If you are assigned a user account, it is your responsibility to notify the Administrator of any changes or inaccuracies to the physical address associated with your user account.
(e) Notify All Users: You should inform all residents, guests, and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize Services of the important distinctions and limitations of national emergency 911 Dialing as compared with landline 911. You should inform all Alert Contacts of the key aspects of the 911 Alerts feature and that their email and/or mobile phone number is listed as a contact for the service.
(a) No Life Safety or Critical Uses of the Products and Services: You acknowledge and agree that the Equipment and Services, whether standing alone or when interfaced with third-party products or services, are not certified for emergency response. MTA makes no warranty or representation that use of the Equipment or Services with any third-party product or service will affect or increase any level of safety. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES, WHETHER STANDING ALONE OR INTERFACED WITH THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, ARE NOT A THIRD-PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. FURTHER, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL MTA DISPATCH EMERGENCY SERVICES TO YOUR HOME IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.
(b) Reliability of Services: You acknowledge that the Services, including remote access and mobile notifications, are not error-free or 100% reliable and 100% available. Proper functioning of the Services relies and is dependent on, among other things, the transmission of data through your wi-fi network, enabled wireless device (such as a phone or tablet) and broadband internet access, or optional cellular backup service, for which neither MTA nor any wireless or data carrier is responsible, and may be interrupted, delayed, refused, or otherwise limited for a variety of reasons, including insufficient coverage, power outages, termination of service and access, environmental conditions, interference, non-payment of applicable fees and charges, unavailability of radio frequency channels, system capacity, upgrades, repairs or relocations, and priority access by emergency responders in the event of a disaster or emergency (collectively, “Service Interruptions”). You understand that Service Interruptions may result in the Services being unreliable or unavailable for the duration of the Service Interruption. We cannot and do not guarantee that you will receive notifications within any given time, or at all. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON THE SERVICES FOR ANY LIFE SAFETY OR CRITICAL PURPOSES. MOBILE NOTIFICATIONS REGARDING THE STATUS AND ALARMS ON YOUR MTA EQUIPMENT ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY – THEY ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A THIRD-PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY-NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. There is no way for MTA to provide specific information relating to a situation in your home or elsewhere. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to educate yourself on how to respond to an emergency and to respond according to the specifics of your situation.
(c) Service Interruptions; no refund or rebate: The Services may be suspended temporarily, without notice, for security reasons, systems failure, maintenance and repair, or other circumstances. You agree that you will not be entitled to any refund or rebate for such suspensions. MTA does not offer any specific uptime guarantee for the Services.
(d) Privacy and Security: The calling capability and our Services use the public internet, third party networks, and inside wiring in customers’ premises to transmit communications. We have engineered our Equipment and Services to minimize the risk of any loss in privacy when using such systems. You acknowledge, however, that we cannot guarantee that your communications are completely secure. We respect your privacy and treat the content of all communications as private, except as may be required by law.
(e) International Usage: The MTA system has been designed to support installation and use in the U.S. and Canada with a U.S. or Canadian, as applicable, High-Speed Internet service MTA. We currently only provide U.S. and Canadian phone numbers and cannot guarantee installation, performance, or use of MTA Equipment and Service outside the U.S. and Canada If you choose to install and use the MTA system outside of the United States and Canada, you will be solely responsible for any violation of any export laws, tax laws, tariff agreements, U.S., Canadian or foreign regulatory rules, U.S., Canadian, or local laws, or violation of your high-speed internet MTA’s terms of service. You will also be accountable for payment of any taxes, fees, penalties, and/or surcharges associated with use of the MTA system outside of the United States and Canada. MTA reserves the right to suspend Service to any non-U.S. or non-Canadian based system at any time.
(f) Voice-to-Text Limitations: Some MTA Services provide a function that allows voicemails to be converted to text. You understand and agree that this voice-to-text conversion may not be accurate and you are responsible for listening to the original voicemail to verify the accuracy of the conversion. Certain Services utilize human-aided conversions and, as a result, the privacy of your message and its content cannot be guaranteed. You hereby release all claims against MTA and its third-party MTAs with respect to the voice-to-text service.
(g) May Not Support x11 Calling: The Equipment, if not connected to a landline, may not support 311, 511 and/or other x11 services in one or more (or all) service areas (other than certain specified dialing such as 911 and 411, which are provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, and 711, which is used to access telecommunications relay services). To keep all of these services, please have your Equipment, if your Equipment is capable of doing so, connected to a landline.
(h) No 0+ or Operator Assisted Calling: The Equipment, if not connected to a landline, does not support 0+ or operator assisted calling (including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls, 900 or calling card calls).
(i) Third-Party Products and Services: We assume no obligation to provide support services for any third party products or services, or for problems with our service caused by third party products or services unless other required under law or contractual obligations.
(p) Voice Recording and Call Monitoring: If you utilize call recording, you acknowledge that there are federal and state law governing the electronic recording of telephone conversations and that MTA is not liable for any illegal use of the Services. Many jurisdictions require advance notice or consent for electronic voice recording and/or third-party call monitoring. It is your responsibility to determine and comply in full with your own compliance obligations. No Services or Equipment offered by MTA are represented or warranted to comply with electronic recording laws.
(a) By Us: We may terminate any or all of your Services or use of your Equipment at any time if any charge by us to your credit or debit card is declined or reversed, if your credit or debit card expires or is cancelled and you have not provided us with a valid replacement credit or debit card, or if you otherwise fail to pay any charges, taxes, or fees. Any attempt to use or use of a stolen credit or debit card will result in termination of all of your Services and use of your Equipment. We may terminate your use of the Equipment or of any or all Services if you fail to pay undisputed charges after they are due or within 5 business days after we have notified you that, in our sole but reasonable discretion, such disputed charges are valid and should be paid. We may terminate or modify your use of the Equipment or of any or all Services immediately if we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that you violated any of your obligations in this Agreement or that you violated the license granted in Section 4. We may terminate any element of the Services provided to you (but not your use of the Equipment for unlimited calling) for any other reason or no reason by providing notice to you of at least 10 working days.
(b) Phone Number: The phone number assigned to your account may be re-assigned if your Services are terminated by you or by MTA. If you wish to transfer your phone number to another service, you must do so prior to your Services being terminated, otherwise your phone number may not be available for transfer.
