10 911 EMERGENCY

Express Consent Required. 911 emergency service over a VoIP telephone (Broadband Internet) has certain limitations compared to Enhanced 911 services available on most traditional telephones. You must provide express agreement and consent to the conditions and limitations of NPT Technologies’s 911 service. It is very important for the customer to understand the NPT Technologies 911 service. The service is somewhat different from the traditional 911 service. NPT Technologies’s 911 Service offers you reliable means of reaching help in times of emergency. It is important that you understand how it works, how it differs from traditional phone service and what you must do to ensure that it works smoothly when you need it. It is critical for you to inform all other potential users of your NPT Technologies services and of the differences and limitations of its 911 service. NPT Technologies offers a form of 9-1-1 service (9-1-1 Dialing) that is not exactly identical to traditional 9-1-1 (911) service because there are some critical differences, restrictions and limitations when compared with enhanced 9-1-1 service (E911) available in most locations in conjunction with traditional telephone service. The service works similarly when you make a call in an emergency situation. Both traditional 9-1-1 and E911 service will send your call directly to the nearest emergency response center. In addition, with E911 service, your call back number and address are visible to the emergency response center call-taker. Instead with NPT Technologies’s 9-1-1 service, your call is sent to a national emergency call center. In a national emergency call center, an operator will pick up your call and will confirm your location information and then transfer your 9-1-1 call to the emergency response center nearest to your location. You should be prepared to confirm your address and call-back number with the operator. Call 911 and state the emergency in a clear, calm and discernible voice. The emergency dispatcher will ask you to confirm your current location. When confirming your address, mention any distinguishing landmarks that may help the emergency services personnel locate you quickly. Do not hang up until told to do so by the emergency services personnel. If you get disconnected, call back immediately. Your 9-1-1 Dialing service is activated when you subscribe to NPT Technologies service. You should ensure your location information that you provided when you registered with NPT Technologies is kept current at all times. In case you are not able to speak during the 911 call, the call taker will dispatch emergency response vehicles to your last registered address. You do not need to test your 911 calling service. 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. As a result it is critical for you to update your current address in the 9-1-1 Database. If you move your device to a different location, travel in Canada with your adapter, and/or if you add a new line to your account on your web account, the national emergency response center does not receive your phone number or physical location information when you place a 9-1-1 call. You can update your 9-1-1 Dialing address information from our website www.NPT Technologies.com. The link is at the bottom of the page under “Update your address”. Remember that the 911 Dialing service will not function in the event of a power or broadband outage or if your broadband, ISP, or mobile network where you are using a mobile application, is suspended or disconnected. You must maintain your broadband connection in order to use the Service, or, for certain mobile applications, a WIFI or other data connection (3G/4G/LTE/5G) which we do not provide. Some of our Services may be used with devices such as wireless telephones, mobile telephones, smartphones, PDA’s or other Android or Apple tablets or devices which we may or may not provide. Following a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or reconfigure your Box or Extension prior to utilizing the service, including 911 Dialing. You should inform other colleagues, residents, guests, companions and other persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize the NPT Technologies service, of the important differences and limitations of VoIP 9-1-1 Dialing service compared with E911 service, as set out above. VoIP services allow you to make or receive telephone calls over the Internet to or from the public switched telephone network. The nature of VoIP telephone calls, while appearing similar to traditional telephone calling services, create unique limitations and circumstances, and you acknowledge and agree that differences exist between traditional telephone service and VoIP telephone services, including the lack of traditional 9-1-1 emergency services. 9-1-1 service: Because of the unique nature of VoIP telephone calls, emergency calls to 9-1-1 through your VoIP service will be handled differently than traditional phone service. The following provisions describe the differences and limitations of 9-1-1 emergency calls, and you hereby acknowledge and understand the differences between traditional 9-1-1 service and VoIP calls with respect to 9-1-1 calls placed to emergency services from your account as described below. Placing 9-1-1 calls: When you make a 9-1-1 emergency call, the VoIP service will attempt to automatically route your 9-1-1 call through a third-party service provider to the Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”) corresponding to your address of record on your account. However, due to the limitations of the VoIP telephone services, your 9-1-1 call may be routed to a different location than that which would be used for traditional 9-1-1 dialling. For example, your call may be forwarded to a third-party specialized call centre that handles emergency calls. This call centre is different from the PSAP that would answer a traditional 9-1-1 call which has automatically generated your address information, and consequently, you may be required to provide your name, address, and telephone number to the call centre. How your information is provided: The VoIP service will attempt to automatically provide the PSAP dispatcher or emergency service operator with the name, address and telephone number associated with your account. However, for technical reasons, the dispatcher receiving the call may not be able to capture or retain your name, phone number or physical location. Therefore, when making a 9-1-1 emergency call, you must immediately inform the dispatcher of your location (or the location of the emergency, if different). If you are unable to speak, the dispatcher may not be able to locate you if your location information is not up to date. Correctness of information: You are responsible for providing, maintaining, and updating correct contact information (including name, residential address and telephone number) with your account. If you do not correctly identify the actual location where you are located, or if your account information has recently changed or has otherwise not been updated, 9-1-1 calls may be misdirected to an incorrect emergency response site. Disconnections: You must not disconnect the 9-1-1 emergency call until told to do so by the dispatcher, as the dispatcher may not have your number or contact information. If you are inadvertently disconnected, you must call back immediately. Connection time: For technical reasons, including network congestion, it is possible that a 9-1-1 emergency call will produce a busy signal or will take longer to connect when compared with traditional 9-1-1 calls. 9-1-1 calls may not function: For technical reasons, the functionality of 9-1-1 VoIP emergency calls may cease or be curtailed in various circumstances, including but not limited to: Failure of service or your service access device - if your system access equipment fails or is not configured correctly, or if your VoIP service is not functioning correctly for any reason, including power outages, VoIP service outage, suspension or disconnection of your service due to billing issues, network or Internet congestion, or network or Internet outage in the event of a power, network or Internet outage; you may need to reset or reconfigure the system access equipment before being able to use the VoIP service, including for 9-1-1 emergency calls; and changing locations - if you move your system access equipment to a location other than that described in your account information or otherwise on record with (company name). Alternate services: If you are not comfortable with the limitations of 9-1-1 emergency calls, NPT Technologies LTD recommends that you terminate the VoIP services or consider an alternate means for accessing traditional 9-1-1 emergency services. Inform other users: You are responsible for notifying, and you agree to notify, any user or potential users of your VoIP services of the nature and limitations of 9-1-1 emergency calls on the VoIP services as described herein. Liability: Customers are advised to review this section with respect to NPT Technologies LTD’s limitations of liability.
