- Fees.

911 Service.
PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW ABOUT 9-1-1 EMERGENCY SERVICE CAREFULLY! By using or paying for the Home Phone Services, the Customer acknowledges and agrees to all of the information below regarding the limitations of using the Home Phone Services for dialing 9-1-1. The Customer acknowledges and understands that the Home Phone Service offers a limited 9-1-1 type service and that such 9-1-1 type dialing differs in important respects from traditional 9-1-1 service, as described below. The Customer agrees to advise all users who may place calls over the Home Phone Service from the Customer's location of these limitations.
- Inter.net Canada 9-1-1 emergency dialing is only supported in software and on Analogue Terminal Adapters (ATAs) or modems provided by Inter.net Canada for use with the Home Phone Services.
- The 9-1-1 call may be routed to a different dispatcher than that used for traditional 9-1-1 dialing. The dispatcher will be located at either the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) or with a local emergency service relay provider designated for the address specified by the Customer at the time of subscription or as properly updated by the Customer from time to time.
- Inter.net Canada 9-1-1 emergency dialing has certain limitations relative to Enhanced 9-1-1 service. Enhanced 9-1-1 service is the type of 9-1-1 service that is generally available on most traditional primary exchange telephone services. With Enhanced 9-1-1 service, your address information associated with your telephone number is usually available to the Public Safety Answering Point at the time of your 9-1-1 call. With the Home Phone Services 9-1-1 emergency dialing, your call is being sent via the Internet rather than a traditional phone line, and as the most up to date Customer address information may not arrive with this call, a different method is required to send this Customer address information accurately. This method may involve the use of an intermediary emergency service operator to help ascertain your current location information.
- Be prepared to confirm your location and telephone number with the operator who answers the 9-1-1 call since the operator may not have this information. It is also recommended to keep in mind that Inter.net Canada is your telephone service provider because if necessary, the Inter.net Canada central call centers can contact emergency services in severe emergency situations to attempt to help. You are also encouraged not to hang up until told to do so, and to call back if you get disconnected, as immediately as possible. Please note that it may take up to three (3) days upon initial activation of service for your address information to fully propagate throughout the 9-1-1 systems.
- Home Phone Services 9-1-1 emergency dialing may not be available: during a power outage, network failure, if Customer's computer, system, equipment or wiring is malfunctioning, in the event of suspension or disconnection of the Home Phone Service because of billing issues or breach of terms of service, due to any disconnection or suspension of underlying broadband access service or due to a Force Majeure event (as defined in this Agreement). Home Phone Services 9-1-1 emergency dialing will also be unavailable during a broadband Internet outage. If there is a power outage, the Customer may be required to reset or reconfigure the ATA or modem (as the case may be), prior to being able to use the Home Phone Service, including for 9-1-1 dialing purposes.
- 9-1-1 dialing will not function correctly if the Customer moves or changes locations without updating the location information with Inter.net Canada. In order to have 9-1-1 calls routed correctly, Customer must update his/her service address at least three (3) days prior to moving by updating the information with Inter.net Canada Customer service by phone or at http://ca.inter.net
- Customer must keep the registered location information current by updating it with Inter.net Canada to help ensure success with the emergency service operator who may assume that Customer is at the last registered address if he/she is not able to speak during a 9-1-1 call. Customer's registered location information is used to accurately connect to the appropriate emergency response center so that they may trigger the appropriate emergency response.
- For technical reasons associated with the possibility of network congestion, there is a possibility that the 9-1-1 call will produce a busy signal or will take longer to answer, as compared to traditional 9-1-1 calls placed from a fixed location known to the emergency service provider.
- Customer should inform any household residents, guests and other persons who may be present at the physical location where the Home Phone Service is utilized of the important differences in and limitations of the 9-1-1 dialing as compared with traditional Enhanced 9-1-1 service, as set out above.
- Customers traveling outside of Canada will not have 9-1-1 dialing services. We cannot support emergency calls made outside of Canada. An operator may answer the call but will not be able to transfer it to the appropriate emergency response centre.
- If Customer is not comfortable with the limitations of the Home Phone Services 9-1-1 emergency dialing, Customer should consider having an alternate means of accessing traditional 9-1-1 or Enhanced 9-1-1 services or disconnecting the Home Phone Service.
- The Customer acknowledges and understands that Inter.net Canada will not be liable for any service outage and/or inability to dial 9-1-1 using the Home Phone Services or to access emergency service personnel due to the 9-1-1 dialing characteristics and limitations listed herein. THE CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, INTER.NET CANADA, ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND UNDERLYING CARRIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, DEATH OR DAMAGE TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE PROVISION OR NON-PROVISION OF 9-1-1 AND/OR EMERGENCY 9-1-1 SERVICE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY INABILITY ON THE PART OF CUSTOMER OR ITS END USERS TO ACCESS 9-1-1 AND/OR EMERGENCY 9-1-1 SERVICE, AND THE CUSTOMER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS INTER.NET CANADA, ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND UNDERLYING CARRIERS FROM ANY LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES ARISING DIRECTLY FROM THE PROVISION OR NON-PROVISION OF 9-1-1 AND/OR EMERGENCY 9-1-1 SERVICE.
Term and Termination.
The term for the Home Phone Services shall begin on the date the Home Phone Service is activated by Inter.net Canada and shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of activation (the "Term"). The Home Phone Service Term shall automatically renew on the same terms and conditions for a period of 30 days ("Renewal Term") following the initial Term and each subsequent Renewal Term. Either party may terminate the Home Phone Service by providing verbal notice to the other party of its intention to terminate. Cancellations shall not be honored by electronic mail, fax or postal mail.
Porting
- Number Transfer or "Porting to Inter.net Canada" If Customer wishes to transfer or port a current telephone number to Inter.net Canada, you must complete a Letter of Authorization (the "LOA") via voice or paper and submit it to Inter.net Canada. The LOA will permit Inter.net Canada to contact your current carrier and request the port of the number to the Inter.net Canada network. Customer is responsible to cancel the service agreement with the current carrier, once informed by Inter.net Canada that the port is complete. Inter.net Canada will not be responsible for numbers that are lost, charges incurred to reclaim the telephone number, or any other porting fees, should the Customer cancel his/her service before the port is complete.
- Number Transfer Away From Inter.net Canada or "Porting Out" If Customer intends to change to another service provider, Customer may request to take or "port out" the telephone number supplied by Inter.net Canada to such other service provider. If Customer asks a new service provider to port a number from Inter.net Canada, Customer must provide Inter.net Canada thirty (30) days written notice of the requested port and Inter.net Canada shall terminate the Service with respect to such number after the successful completion of the port. Customer shall remain responsible for any charges and fees associated with that number until the Service is terminated. If Customer's Service has been suspended due to non-payment, Inter.net Canada reserves the right to deny the port-out request. If a port is unsuccessful for any reason, the Service and this Agreement will not terminate and Customer will continue to be responsible for any charges and fees associated with the Service and Customer's account.
Directory listing.
The telephone number(s) that Customer obtains in connection with the Home Phone Service will not be listed in any telephone directories.

16. VoIP Service- Home Phone Services Specific Provisions
911 Service. PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW ABOUT 9-1-1 EMERGENCY SERVICE CAREFULLY! By using or paying for the Home Phone Services, the Customer acknowledges and agrees to all of the information below regarding the limitations of using the Home Phone Services for dialing 9-1-1. The Customer acknowledges and understands that the Home Phone Service offers a limited 9-1-1 type service and that such 9-1-1 type dialing differs in important respects from traditional 9-1-1 service, as described below. The Customer agrees to advise all users who may place calls over the Home Phone Service from the Customer's location of these limitations.
- Inter.net Canada 9-1-1 emergency dialing is only supported in software and on Analogue Terminal Adapters (ATAs) or modems provided by Inter.net Canada for use with the Home Phone Services.
- The 9-1-1 call may be routed to a different dispatcher than that used for traditional 9-1-1 dialing. The dispatcher will be located at either the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) or with a local emergency service relay provider designated for the address specified by the Customer at the time of subscription or as properly updated by the Customer from time to time.
- Inter.net Canada 9-1-1 emergency dialing has certain limitations relative to Enhanced 9-1-1 service. Enhanced 9-1-1 service is the type of 9-1-1 service that is generally available on most traditional primary exchange telephone services. With Enhanced 9-1-1 service, your address information associated with your telephone number is usually available to the Public Safety Answering Point at the time of your 9-1-1 call. With the Home Phone Services 9-1-1 emergency dialing, your call is being sent via the Internet rather than a traditional phone line, and as the most up to date Customer address information may not arrive with this call, a different method is required to send this Customer address information accurately. This method may involve the use of an intermediary emergency service operator to help ascertain your current location information.
- Be prepared to confirm your location and telephone number with the operator who answers the 9-1-1 call since the operator may not have this information. It is also recommended to keep in mind that Inter.net Canada is your telephone service provider because if necessary, the Inter.net Canada central call centers can contact emergency services in severe emergency situations to attempt to help. You are also encouraged not to hang up until told to do so, and to call back if you get disconnected, as immediately as possible. Please note that it may take up to three (3) days upon initial activation of service for your address information to fully propagate throughout the 9-1-1 systems.
- Home Phone Services 9-1-1 emergency dialing may not be available: during a power outage, network failure, if Customer's computer, system, equipment or wiring is malfunctioning, in the event of suspension or disconnection of the Home Phone Service because of billing issues or breach of terms of service, due to any disconnection or suspension of underlying broadband access service or due to a Force Majeure event (as defined in this Agreement). Home Phone Services 9-1-1 emergency dialing will also be unavailable during a broadband Internet outage. If there is a power outage, the Customer may be required to reset or reconfigure the ATA or modem (as the case may be), prior to being able to use the Home Phone Service, including for 9-1-1 dialing purposes.
- 9-1-1 dialing will not function correctly if the Customer moves or changes locations without updating the location information with Inter.net Canada. In order to have 9-1-1 calls routed correctly, Customer must update his/her service address at least three (3) days prior to moving by updating the information with Inter.net Canada Customer service by phone or at http://ca.inter.net
- Customer must keep the registered location information current by updating it with Inter.net Canada to help ensure success with the emergency service operator who may assume that Customer is at the last registered address if he/she is not able to speak during a 9-1-1 call. Customer's registered location information is used to accurately connect to the appropriate emergency response center so that they may trigger the appropriate emergency response.
- For technical reasons associated with the possibility of network congestion, there is a possibility that the 9-1-1 call will produce a busy signal or will take longer to answer, as compared to traditional 9-1-1 calls placed from a fixed location known to the emergency service provider.
- Customer should inform any household residents, guests and other persons who may be present at the physical location where the Home Phone Service is utilized of the important differences in and limitations of the 9-1-1 dialing as compared with traditional Enhanced 9-1-1 service, as set out above.
- Customers traveling outside of Canada will not have 9-1-1 dialing services. We cannot support emergency calls made outside of Canada. An operator may answer the call but will not be able to transfer it to the appropriate emergency response centre.
- If Customer is not comfortable with the limitations of the Home Phone Services 9-1-1 emergency dialing, Customer should consider having an alternate means of accessing traditional 9-1-1 or Enhanced 9-1-1 services or disconnecting the Home Phone Service.
- The Customer acknowledges and understands that Inter.net Canada will not be liable for any service outage and/or inability to dial 9-1-1 using the Home Phone Services or to access emergency service personnel due to the 9-1-1 dialing characteristics and limitations listed herein. THE CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, INTER.NET CANADA, ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND UNDERLYING CARRIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, DEATH OR DAMAGE TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE PROVISION OR NON-PROVISION OF 9-1-1 AND/OR EMERGENCY 9-1-1 SERVICE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY INABILITY ON THE PART OF CUSTOMER OR ITS END USERS TO ACCESS 9-1-1 AND/OR EMERGENCY 9-1-1 SERVICE, AND THE CUSTOMER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS INTER.NET CANADA, ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND UNDERLYING CARRIERS FROM ANY LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES ARISING DIRECTLY FROM THE PROVISION OR NON-PROVISION OF 9-1-1 AND/OR EMERGENCY 9-1-1 SERVICE.
