1. EMERGENCY SERVICES - 911 DIALING
- 1.1 911 Dialing.
Phone Power uses the same national 911 network that all traditional telephone companies
use. Be aware that (a) Service Outages Due to Customer 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 Customer Internet Outage or Suspension
or Disconnection of Broadband Service or Internet Service Provider ("ISP") Service.
Service outages or suspensions or disconnections of service by your broadband provider
or ISP will prevent all Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning. (c) Service
Outage Due to Disconnection of Your Phone Power LLC Account. Disconnection 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,
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. If you suspect this has happened to you, you should alert us to this situation
and we will work with you to attempt to resolve the issue. During the period that
the ports are being blocked or your Service is impeded, your Service, including
911 Dialing, may not function. You acknowledge that Phone Power LLC is not responsible
for the blocking of ports by any third party 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 disconnect 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.
You authorize us to disclose your name and address to third-parties involved with
providing 911 Dialing to you, including, by way of illustration but not limitation,
call routers, call centers and local emergency centers.
- 1.2 Registration of Physical Location Required. For each phone line that
you utilize with the Service, you must register the physical location where you
will be using the Service with us. Your initial location will be registered as a
part of subscribing to the Service. It is incumbent on you to confirm the accuracy
of your physical address through your online account and update it if you have any
changes, additions or transfers of phone numbers. When you move the Device to another
location, you must update your location. If you do not update your location, 911
calls you make may be sent to an emergency center near your old address. You may
update a location by logging on to your online account. For purposes of 911 Dialing,
you may only register one location at a time for each phone line.
- 1.3 Alternate 911 Arrangements. If you are not comfortable with the limitations
of the 911 Dialing service, you should make arrangements for an alternate means
of accessing traditional 911 or E911 services or disconnecting the Service. You
understand that additional arrangements should be made to access emergency services.
To access emergency services, you acknowledge and accept that it is your sole responsibility
to purchase, with a third-party separately from Phone Power LLC, traditional wireless
or wireline telephone service that offers access to emergency services. You further
recognize that Phone Power LLC is not a replacement for your primary telephone service
and you are hereby advised to maintain a traditional wireline or wire-based telephone
service at all times. By agreeing to these terms of service and by your use of the
Device, you acknowledge and accept that the Device may not support or provide emergency
service at all times. You represent and warrant to Phone Power LLC that you already
have made additional arrangements with a third party to access emergency services.
- 1.4 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.
- 1.5 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 expressly disclaim any and
all responsibility for the conduct of such 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 Phone Power LLC nor any of its officers, directors, members 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 arise from our gross negligence,
recklessness or willful misconduct. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
Phone Power LLC, its officers, directors, members, 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, attorneys fees) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party
relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including 911 Dialing,
incorrectly routed 911 Dialing calls, and/or the inability of any user of the Service
to be able to use 911 Dialing or access emergency service personnel.
- 1.6 Notify All Users. You should inform all 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 will 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.
If you did not receive a 911 Sticker with your Device, or you require additional
911 Stickers, please contact our customer care department.
2. SERVICE. Phone Power LLC will provide you with digital phone service,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Service"). We recommend
waiting until the Service is installed and tested for a few weeks before assuming
that the Service will be available and of good quality.
3. SUBSCRIBER INFORMATION. You acknowledge that you are eighteen (18) years
of age or older, and you agree that you have the legal authority to enter into this
Agreement and affirm that the information you supply to us is correct and complete.
You understand that Phone Power LLC relies on the information you supply and that
providing false or incorrect information may result in Service delays or the suspension
or termination of your Service. You agree to promptly notify Phone Power LLC whenever
your personal or billing information changes, including without limitation, your
name, address, telephone number, and credit card number and expiration date, if
applicable.
4. GENERAL PRICING AND FEES. Phone Power LLC's prices
are shown in the Pricing Schedule and you will be charged based on the Plan and
Options you select during the ordering process. A Subscriber who selects a "Month
to Month" Plan (a "Monthly Subscriber") will pay the monthly price(s) listed on
the Pricing Schedule corresponding to the Plan and Options chosen by such Monthly
Subscriber at the time of order. However, such monthly prices are subject at any
time to increase to Phone Power LLC's then current prices. A Subscriber who selects
a "1 Year Contract" Plan (a "Contract Subscriber") will pay the monthly price(s)
listed on the Pricing Schedule corresponding to the Plan and Options chosen by such
Contract Subscriber at the time of order. Such monthly prices for Contract Subscribers
are guaranteed for the initial twelve (12) month Term. Following the initial twelve
(12) month Term, a Contract Subscriber will automatically become a Monthly Subscriber
and will pay Phone Power LLC's then current prices, subject to increase as described
above, unless such Subscriber registers for a new "1 Year Contract" Plan at such
time, to the extent available. A Subscriber who selects a "Prepaid" Plan (a "Prepaid
Subscriber") will pay the full amount listed on the Pricing Schedule corresponding
to the Plan and Options chosen by such Prepaid Subscriber at the time of order.
Following the initial prepaid Term, as defined by the Plan and Options selected,
a Prepaid Subscriber will automatically become a Monthly Subscriber and will pay
Phone Power LLC's then current prices, subject to increase as described above, unless
such Subscriber registers for a new "Prepaid" Plan at such time, to the extent available.
From time to time Phone Power LLC may offer promotional packages to entice new customers
to join. Unless otherwise stated, these promotional packages are not valid for existing
customers. In addition to regular fees set forth in the Pricing Schedule, you agree
to pay all other charges, including but not limited to network usage, applicable
taxes, fees and surcharges, including charges imposed against Phone Power LLC by
third party providers that it passes on to you. The taxes and surcharges may vary
on a monthly basis and may change at any time without notice; any variations will
be reflected in your monthly charge. The current Regulatory Recovery Fee is ninety-nine
cents ($0.99) for all clients. E911 Recovery Fee is ninety-nine cents ($0.99) for
all clients in the US. Phone Power collects a Federal, State and Local Services
(FSLS) Recovery fee for most voice services. This fee is a percentage of billable
service, and covers a variety of taxes, surcharges and fees billed by federal, regional
and local agencies. The current rate is 7.3%, and is subject to change without notice.
When possible, Phone Power LLC will break out such charges on the monthly invoice.
- 4.1 Taxes and Fees on Free Services. Any plan that comes with free service
will be assessed applicable taxes, surcharges, and fees periodically, based on the
details of the plan selected. These fees will be calculated based on the standard
price for the service. Services are subject to suspension and termination if balances
are not paid in a timely manner per Section 4 of Phone Power's Terms of Service.
5. PAYMENT, LATE FEES AND OTHER CHARGES. There is
no money back guarantee for any Services unless specifically written in a special
one time promotion. There are no pro-rated refunds for unused time. All services
will be charged via automatic credit card withdrawal. Unless otherwise stated in
the Pricing Schedule, Phone Power LLC will invoice and charge Subscribers monthly.
Subscribers are responsible for paying monthly subscription fees while Services
are suspended due to non-payment. In the event that an account is terminated for
any reason with an outstanding balance, Phone Power will continue to electronically
charge the credit card on file for the outstanding balance until all balances are
fully resolved. All disconnected accounts and all accounts suspended for non-payment
are subject to a fifteen dollar ($15.00) reconnection fee. Any requests for a change
in telephone number are subject to a fifteen dollar ($15.00) change fee. Subscribers
are responsible for any disputed charges beyond sixty (60) days from the date of
the charge. Any account which goes into collection status will be transferred to
a collection agency and incur a twenty-five dollar ($25.00) processing fee and all
other applicable fees and charges. Subscribers must pay a twenty-five dollar ($25.00)
service charge on disputed credit cards and credit card chargebacks. Past due accounts
will accrue a monthly charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the past due
balance or one dollar ($1.00), whichever is greater.
- 5.1 Long Distance. Unlike most telephone service providers, Phone Power provides
all local and long distance minutes within the continental US as a bundle within
your package. Actual long distance minutes are measured but not charged as long
as the client remains below their specific plan’s usage thresholds.
- 5.2 Residential Freedom Plan. Only residential addresses qualify for residential
pricing. If a residential line exceeds 3,000 outbound minutes per month, from your
bill date, within the continental US and Canada, Phone Power may notify the client and bill
for excess minutes at $0.04 per minute.
- 5.3 Residential 500 Plan. Only residential addresses qualify for residential
pricing. If a residential line exceeds 500 outbound minutes per month, from your
bill date, within the continental US and Canada, Phone Power may notify the client and bill
for excess minutes at $0.04 per minute.
- 5.4 Phone Power Business Plan. Business lines qualify for advanced business
features such as auto attendant, music on hold, and toll free numbers. This plan
is designed for a small business. Each business line is allowed 5000 outbound minutes
per month, from your bill date, within the continental US and Canada. If a business line exceeds
5000 outbound minutes, Phone Power may notify the business and bill for excess minutes
at $0.02 per minute.
-
5.5 Residential and Small Biz Freedom Plan. If a Residential and Small Biz
Freedom line exceeds 5,000 minutes per month, from your bill date, within the continental
US and Canada, Phone Power may notify the client and bill for excess minutes at
$0.02 per minute.
- 5.6 International Calling. International calling is enabled by default. Customers
may enable or disable it at anytime by logging into their My Account page. All International
calls are billed at their respective international rates. Each customer account
is given a credit limit for international calls. If an international calling balance
exceeds the credit limit prior to their next bill date, the account will be charged
the balance immediately. Failure to pay will result in suspension of service.
- 5.7 Free International Calling. All Phone Power Freedom,
Business, and Hosted PBX plans that include more than 500 minutes receive 60 minutes
of free international calling to qualifying destinations every monthly bill cycle.
500 and Metered Rate plans do not receive any Free International Minutes.
Details of qualifying destinations can be found using the International Phone Number
and Rate Lookup tool, located on Phone Power's
International Page. These rates and qualifying destinations are subject
to change on the 1st business day of every month. This tool is the final arbiter
of which phone numbers qualify for Free International Minutes. After 60 minutes
of qualifying calls have been made each month, standard billing will commence using
the listed rates for each destination.
- 5.8 Directory Assistance and Operator Services. Directory Assistance is charged
at $0.99 per call and $0.10 per minute after two minutes. Directory Assistance is
enabled by default on all new phone lines. Operator calls are billed at $3.00 per
call. Operator calling is disabled by default on all new phone lines, but may be
activated using the My Account Dialing Options.
- 5.9 Call Forwarding. Certain features such as call forwarding may incur outgoing
minutes automatically when they are enabled. All forwarded calls count against standard
minute usage caps. Before activating these features, consider this usage and whether
it will affect your usage thresholds.
- 5.10 Toll-Free Numbers. Toll Free numbers can be attached to any Phone Power service plan. Toll-Free
numbers cost $5 per month plus $0.04 per minute, billed in 1 minute increments.

6. EQUIPMENT. Phone Power LLC will provide you with
either a new or used ATA (Phone Adapter) or combination ATA and router. All used
equipment is sold on as-is basis and you agree to hold Phone Power LLC harmless
for any defective equipment. Defective equipment, including the original power supply,
must be returned to Phone Power at Phone Power’s expense via provided UPS shipping
label within 30 days of receiving the replacement device. Customers may opt to pay
forty dollars ($40) for an overnight shipment. Subscriber must return to Phone Power
LLC the complete ATA or combination ATA and router, including the original power
supply, in a usable condition at Subscriber's expense within thirty (30) days of
termination of the Service by Subscriber or Phone Power LLC. Subscriber must pay
ninety-nine dollars and ninety cents ($99.90) plus applicable taxes to purchase
any ATA or combination ATA and router if Subscriber does not return to Phone Power
LLC in working condition within such thirty (30) day period. The purchase of hardware
at a retail location is owned by the customer and is exempt from the hardware return
policy.
- 6.1 Subscriber Supplied Equipment. Phone Power provides the option for Subscribers
to supply their own ATA (Phone Adapter). If a Subscriber supplies their own ATA,
the Subscriber assumes the risk of service incompatibility. Incompatible Subscriber
ATAs or other Subscriber equipment shall not relieve Subscribers from any of their
obligations under this Agreement while troubleshooting defective or incompatible
equipment even if Subscriber's Service is down during such periods of troubleshooting.
The current list of equipment that is compatible and approved for use with Phone
Power's service can be found at www.phonepower.com/services/voip/byod.aspx. Phone Power
reserves the right to add or remove equipment to this list at any time. Phone Power
reserves the right to alter the software on Subscriber's ATA in order to guarantee
compatibility with Phone Power's service.
Phone Power does not provide SIP credentials to any customers, including those who
are supplying their own ATA. Any device used with Phone Power's service
must not be locked or currently provisioned to any other provider and you must have
the admin password for said device. Any device received from another VoIP provider
will most likely NOT work due to this restriction.
- 6.2 Converting From Subscriber Supplied Equipment to Phone Power Supplied Equipment.
Should a Subscriber who has supplied their own hardware wish to instead utilize
Phone Power's leased equipment, this option is available by contacting our Support
Department. Subscriber must authorize Phone Power to charge their account a one-time
fee for shipping and handling of this equipment, based on the current shipping rates
for new customers. This hardware is provided on a free-lease basis, subject to the
terms and conditions described in Section 6.0 of this Agreement.
- 6.3 Converting From Phone Power Supplied Equipment to Subscriber Supplied Equipment.
At this time, Phone Power does not offer the option to change from Phone Power Supplied
Equipment to Subscriber Supplied Equipment.
7. TERM. This Agreement is effective upon Subscriber's
acceptance as provided above and shall continue until terminated by Subscriber or
Phone Power LLC pursuant to this Agreement.
- 7.1 Monthly Subscribers. Each Monthly Subscriber is on automatically renewing
monthly terms billed on the anniversary of their service commencement.
- 7.2 Prepay Subscribers. A Prepay Subscriber pays upfront for a specified term
("Service Term"), including initial taxes and fees. The length of the Service Term
is determined by the service package selected by the Subscriber during the sign-up
or renewal process. If the Service Term is longer than twelve (12) months, additional
taxes and fees will be charged after the initial twelve (12) months have passed.
Following the initial Service Term, a Prepay Subscriber will automatically become
a Monthly Subscriber.
- 7.3 Contract Subscribers. A Contract Subscriber is on either a twelve (12)
month term or twenty-four (24) month term ("Contract Term") beginning on the day
such Subscriber accepts the terms of this Agreement as provided above. The length
of the Contract Term is determined by the service package selected by the Subscriber
during the sign-up or renewal process. Phone Power provides a 30-day grace period
during which penalties will not be assessed for terminating a new contract. Any
Contract Subscriber who wishes to change or cancel their service plan during their
Contract Term will be assessed a Contract Termination Fee of $99 or the remainder
of your contract amount, whichever is less. Following the initial Contract
Term, a Contract Subscriber will automatically become a Monthly Subscriber.
8. TERMINATION BY SUBSCRIBER. Subscriber may terminate
this Agreement at any time for any reason by providing Phone Power LLC with a thirty
(30) day written notice in the form of a valid written termination request and paying
all fees and other charges accrued or otherwise payable under the terms of this
Agreement. Initial charges, including first month service and shipping and handling
charges are non-refundable immediately upon submission of an order. Such thirty
(30) day period begins on the date on which Phone Power LLC receives Subscriber's
valid written termination request. A Monthly Subscriber's termination will be effective
on the later of (a) the end of last day of the calendar month during which such
thirty (30) day period ends (e.g., a valid written termination request received
by Phone Power LLC any time during January will result in termination effective
at the end of February) or (b) the end of last day of the calendar month requested
by the Monthly Subscriber. A Contract Subscriber's termination, if received by Phone
Power LLC at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of their Contract Term, will
be effective at the end of such Contract Term, unless such Contract Subscriber requests
an earlier date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section 8, if
Phone Power LLC receives a written termination request from a Subscriber, Phone
Power LLC may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement on a date earlier
than the date otherwise prescribed by this section 8. If this Agreement is terminated
prior to the end of a Contract Subscriber's Contract Term, such Contract Subscriber
must pay, in addition to all fees and other charges accrued or otherwise payable
under the terms of this Agreement, an early termination fee in the amount of ninety-nine
dollars($99.00) ("Early Termination Fee") or the remainder of the contract amount,
whichever is
less. In the event a Contract Subscriber terminates this Agreement
prior to the end of their Contract Term because of a service-related problem not
caused by the Subscriber that Phone Power LLC has failed to cure after what Phone
Power LLC determines in its sole discretion to be a reasonable amount of time based
on the circumstances, the Subscriber is entitled to a waiver of the Early Termination
Fee. For such waiver to apply, the reason for the waiver stated above must have
occurred before termination and the Subscriber must report such reason for termination
to Phone Power LLC in the Subscriber's valid written termination request. Phone
Power LLC must in turn be given the opportunity to resolve the problem and the Subscriber
must be willing and able to troubleshoot with Phone Power LLC. Phone Power LLC does
not monitor Subscriber accounts for activity, and absence of activity or cancellation
of a Subscriber's Internet service will never constitute a termination request.
A written termination request is valid only if it includes your VOIP phone number,
main username, date you wish the service to be cancelled and is submitted using
one of the following approved methods:
- Navigating to http://www.phonepower.com/cancel
and submitting the form as directed.
- Via fax to: (818) 301-7465
- Via mail to: Phone Power LLC

LLC's sole and absolute discretion, (a) a Subscriber is in breach of any of the
terms of this Agreement (including but not limited to the Acceptable Use Policy);
(b) a Subscriber's use of the Service is prohibited by law or is disruptive to,
adversely impacts or causes a malfunction to the Service, Phone Power LLC's servers
or other equipment, or the use and enjoyment of other users; (c) a Subscriber acts
in an abusive or menacing manner when dealing with Phone Power LLC's technical support
staff, customer service staff or any other Phone Power LLC employees or representatives;

accrued or otherwise payable under the terms of this Agreement, including without
limitation the equipment charges set forth herein, if applicable.
10. TERMINATED SUBSCRIBER. Phone Power LLC, in its
sole and absolute discretion may refuse to accept a Subscriber's application for
renewal or re-subscription following a termination or suspension of such Subscriber's
use of the Service. If a Subscriber's Service is terminated for any reason, such
Subscriber, upon approval by Phone Power LLC, may enter into a new Agreement and
must pay a new setup or activation fee as provided above. Upon the termination of
a Subscriber's use of the Service, Phone Power LLC has the right to immediately
delete all data, files and other information stored in or for the Subscriber's account
without further notice to the Subscriber.
11. TECHNICAL SUPPORT. Phone Power LLC assumes that
all Subscribers possess a basic understanding of their computers and their limitations.

or creating directories). Technical support is intended to facilitate the setup
of your properly functioning computer system for access to our services. Your computer
