In the event of a conflict between any service description, FAQ or other terms regarding the Service located on the Web Site and these Customer Terms of Service, the latter shall govern.
1. TERM OF SERVICE
1.1 Initial Term
Service is provided for either a term of thirty (30) days or one (1) year, depending on whether you select a “monthly” plan or an “annual” plan (the “Term”) by Number Wholesale. In either case, the initial Term begins on the date that you purchase the Service (the “Commencement Date”). You are purchasing the Service for the full length of the applicable Term. This means that if you terminate Service prior to the end of the then current Term (which shall constitute a Default as described below), you will be responsible for the full Term’s charges as if you remained a customer through the end of the then-current Term, including, without limitation, outstanding charges, unbilled charges, and any applicable disconnection fee, as described below (collectively, “Default Charges”). In addition, you will not be entitled to a refund for any unused portion of prepaid Term charges.
1.2. Renewal
The Term for all Service plans will renew automatically for successive Terms of the same length without further action by or notice to you unless you notify Number Wholesale of non-renewal at least fifteen (15) days before the end of the then current Term by calling customer service.
1.3 Termination
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, suspend, or terminate the Service without notice for any reason, including without limitation, for your failure to pay any sum due hereunder, for suspected fraud or other activity, for your termination of the Service prior to the end of the then current Term, and/or for any other breach of this Agreement (each, a “Default”). We reserve the right to determine, in our sole discretion, what constitutes a Default and you agree that our determination is final and binding on you. In the event of a Default, you shall pay Number Wholesale all Default Charges within fifteen (15) calendar days of your receipt of a bill for such charges, and shall reimburse Number Wholesale for all attorney, court, collection and other fees and costs incurred by Number Wholesale in the enforcement of its rights hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may switch to a higher cost plan at any time without being in Default. In the event you make such a switch during a Term, you immediately will be billed a prorated amount of the difference between your previous monthly or annual plan fee and that associated with your new plan based on the amount of time left in the current Term.
1.4 Plans
Some of Number Wholesale’s plans and other Services are offered on an “unlimited minutes” or “unlimited SMSs” basis. All unlimited plans:
- May only be used for normal business purposes, not including call centers or other type of “call blasts” or marketing campaigns.
- Are provided only for dialog between two individuals at any given time per extension.
- Exclude international calling, which is available for an additional fee.
- Unlimited minutes are issued on a “single concurrent call basis”, meaning that in case of concurrent (simultaneous) calls only the first call will be unlimited and other concurrent calls will be assessed minutes. The term “Unlimited Minutes” applies only to calls that are terminated or initiated from a Number Wholesale extension associated with an IP Phone or a Softphone that is defined as an “Unlimited Minutes Extension” or “Unlimited Extensions”, and does not overlap with any calls to the same extension.
- Unlimited plans also may not be used for any of the following prohibited uses (which are in addition to the other prohibited uses applicable to all Services):
- Trunking or forwarding your Number Wholesale number to (an)other phone number(s) capable of handling multiple simultaneous calls, or to a private branch exchange (PBX) or a key system that is billed on a per minute basis only, unless otherwise specifically agreed.
- Spamming or blasting (e.g., sending one hundred (100) or more bulk and/or junk voicemail or faxes simultaneously).
- Bulk call-in lines (e.g., customer support or sales call centers, “hotlines”, 900 numbers, sports-line numbers, etc.).
- Auto-dialing or “predictive” dialing (i.e., non-manual dialing or using a software program or other means to continuously dial or place out-bound calls).
In addition, unusually high usage of the Services may impair Number Wholesale’s ability to provide high quality Services to others and/or indicate unauthorized use of the Services, in which case Number Wholesale may suspend or terminate your account or, upon prior notice, convert your account to a metered calling plan that charges higher usage rates.
High volume services are provided under individual case basis pricing and contract terms.
Inbound toll-free calls from a toll-free number assigned to this account will be billed separately. Number Wholesale reserves the right to add to, modify or amend this Use Policy at any time for any reason at its sole discretion.
1.5 Sign-up Offers, Service Plans, Special Offers, and Free Trials
We may offer several different sign-up offers, special offers, promotional discounts, as well as various service plans, pricing plans, and/or bundles, which may include primary service, premium features, or any other aspect of the service, at any given time. In general, the specific terms and conditions of these offers will be communicated via the website pages or other medium displaying the offers. Use of the service in any way in excess of the stated terms and duration will result in Customer being immediately billed in accordance with Section 5.
2. Emergency Services and 911 DIALING
2.1 Number Wholesale 911 and E911 Service Overview
Number Wholesale provides all of its two-way phone service subscribers with basic 911 (which refers to the ability to connect a 911 call to a public safety answering point or “PSAP”) and provides enhanced 911 or “E911” (which refers to the additional ability to provide the PSAP with the caller’s telephone number and location) where available. Customers utilizing one-way calling services or over-the-top (“OTT”) application only, including MAC or PC softphones and mobile applications available on iOS and Android, do NOT have direct access to E911 service. If you opt for one-way calling services or OTT application service from Number Wholesale and require E911 service, you must make special arrangements with us, and execute an additional E911 service agreement. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY WHILE USING ONE-WAY CALLING SERVICES OR OTT APPLICATION ON YOUR WIRELESS PHONE, HANG UP AND DIAL YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY NUMBER. YOU MUST UTILIZE THE TELEPHONE SERVICE PROVIDED BY YOUR LOCAL OR WIRELESS CARRIER TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY CALL.
With E911 service, your registered address and phone number is automatically delivered to the proper local emergency call center. This information appears on the emergency dispatcher’s computer screen. If you live in an area where E911 has not yet been deployed, your call will be routed to an emergency call center through the traditional 911 network based on the information on record, however the dispatcher will not have your address and may not have your phone number. In order to provide 911 and E911 service, Number Wholesale must know the physical location of the Number Wholesale the physical telephone instrument provided to you in connection with activation of the Service (the “device”). You will be prompted to provide this information during sign-up. If this address is not accurate OR IF YOU MOVE YOUR DEVICE TO ANOTHER LOCATION, EVEN TEMPORARILY, you must use the online account management features of the Web Site or call customer service at XXX-XXX-XXXX to update the physical location of your DEVICE. IF THE PHYSICAL LOCATION OF YOUR DEVICE IS NOT ACCURATELY ON RECORD, EMERGENCY SERVICES WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LOCATE YOU IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO SPEAK YOUR ADDRESS OR ARE DISCONNECTED (EVEN IN AREAS WHERE E911 SERVICE IS AVAILABLE) DURING A 911 CALL AND/OR THE CALL MAY BE MISDIRECTED TO AN INCORRECT LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDER. Upon sign up, it may take several hours to process your 911 address. In the interim, Number Wholesale will send any 911 calls made using the Service from a phone connected to your DEVICE to a national emergency response center. Per Federal Communications Commission requirements, customers utilizing the two-way communications service ARE NOT permitted to “opt out” of 911 service. If you are using an OTT application, you must request 911 service be added.
2.2 Differences in Availability and Operation of Emergency Dialing Service
2.2.1 Information Service and VoIP
You acknowledge and understand that the two-way phone service is an information service using Voice over Internet Protocol (“VOIP”) technology and as such it does NOT function or connect the same as traditional copper, fiber or wireline telecommunications with respect to support for traditional basic 911 or E911 service access to emergency services. The 911/E911 services offered by Number Wholesale in conjunction with services provided are available only for calls made through the Service from telephones connected to your DEVICE, and only in the areas specified by Number Wholesale. You acknowledge and understand that 911-type dialing is NOT automatic. When ordering the Service, you must separately activate such 911-type dialing capabilities by specifically requesting them at the time of Service activation or thereafter, subject to Number Wholesale, governmental and/or industry technical approval, availability and restrictions, with specific confirmation from Number Wholesale, as described herein. Such request must contain specific information as requested (including any additional information Number Wholesale may request from time to time in its sole discretion), and must be accompanied by your acceptance of the specific term, conditions and responsibilities attendant thereto, including but not limited to maintenance and communication to Number Wholesale in advance of any changes in information relating to the physical location for which the 911-type capabilities may be activated, and/or authorized login, passwords and authorized users on the account.
2.2.2 911 Dialing
You acknowledge and understand that you cannot dial 911 from a phone using the Service unless and until you have received a confirming email regarding Service activation for two-way service and a primary number assignment associated with the geographic location you have provided and agree to maintain. Similarly, if you have opted for one-way calling Service from Number Wholesale, E911 service will not be available until you have received a confirming email regarding Service activation, and a primary number assignment, which will be issued after you have executed the required additional E911 Service Agreement. Once you have received a confirming email that such limited 911 dialing has been successfully activated according to this Agreement, you may dial 911 as needed. 911 AND E911 SERVICE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNLESS ALL SERVICE REQUIREMENTS ARE ACTIVATED, OPERATIONAL AND CONTINUOUS WITHOUT INTERRUPTION FOR THE DURATION OF THE CALL, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, POWER SUPPLY, BROADBAND INTERNET CONNECTION, INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER LOGIN WITHOUT “TIMING OUT” (EVEN WITH AN AUTOMATIC RESTART, AS THAT MAY CAUSE A REASSIGNMENT BY YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER OF A DIFFERENT SESSION-BASED INTERNET ADDRESS), AND SERVICE LOGIN.
2.2.3 911 Specified Location
You acknowledge and understand that unless emergency service personnel are verbally told otherwise during a 911 call, such personnel will consider any 911 call made through the Service from any telephone connected to your DEVICE to have been made from the physical location designated and associated with the account, regardless of where the caller or any third party may desire or require emergency assistance and regardless of the DEVICE’S actual physical or geographical location at the time of the call. In addition, as such, calls will be routed to the emergency service personnel associated with the registered location, and said personnel may NOT necessarily be able to provide service to the location requiring assistance at all. WHEN YOU DIAL 911 ON YOUR PHONE UTILIZING Number Wholesale PHONE SERVICE, YOUR CALL MAY BE ROUTED TO A DIFFERENT DISPATCHER THAN THAT USED FOR TRADITIONAL 911 DIALING. THE DISPATCHER WILL BE LOCATED AT EITHER THE PSAP OR WILL BE LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL DESIGNATED FOR THE ADDRESS YOU LISTED AT THE TIME YOU REGISTERED FOR THE SERVICE.
2.2.4 911 Dialing Notification Responsibility
911 dialing cannot be used in conjunction with any OTT application installed on a wireless phone, or one-way Service. You agree to inform any household residents, guests, employees, agents, contractors, 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 dialing 911 through the Service, as described in this Agreement and on the Web Site (including the unavailability of 911 service in the event of a power or Internet outage), including by conspicuously posting on the Equipment any caution or warning materials as may be appropriate. You agree to make reasonable efforts to inform such persons of the proper and specific operation and requirements of the Service and/or to restrict third parties’ access to the Service, and to use your reasonable judgment in so informing and/or restricting such persons.
2.2.5 911 Terms Acceptance and Agreement
You will not attempt to use Number Wholesale’s one-way calling Services or OTT application to access or allow access to Emergency Services, unless you do so consistent with, and have agreed to, Number Wholesale’s E911 Service Agreement. IF YOU HAVE NOT AGREED TO THE Number Wholesale E911 SERVICE AGREEMENT, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES OVER ONE-WAY CALLING SERVICES OR VIA THE OTT APPLICATION. HANG UP AND DIAL 911 VIA YOUR UNDERLYING TELEPHONE SERVICE OR WIRELESS SERVICE.
2.3 Service Outage
2.3.1 Power Outage
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT 911 DIALING, LIKE THE SERVICE AS A WHOLE, DOES NOT FUNCTION IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE. Should there be an interruption in the power supply, the Service and 911 dialing will not function until power is restored. A power failure or disruption may require the Customer to reset or reconfigure equipment, connections and/or logins, prior to utilizing the Service or 911 dialing.
2.3.2 Broadband Service Outage
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT SERVICE OUTAGES OR INTERRUPTIONS BY YOUR BROADBAND PROVIDER WILL PREVENT ALL SERVICE, INCLUDING 911 DIALING, FROM OPERATING. Even a brief interruption in your broadband internet connection may cause the Service and 911 calling to fail until you reset or reconfigure equipment, connections and/or logins.
2.3.3 Service Outage Due to Suspension of Your Account
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT SERVICE OUTAGES DUE TO SUSPENSION OF YOUR ACCOUNT AS A RESULT OF BILLING ISSUES OR OTHER BREACHES OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL PREVENT ALL SERVICE, INCLUDING 911 DIALING.
2.3.4 Other Service Outages
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT IF THERE IS A SERVICE OUTAGE FOR ANY REASON, SUCH OUTAGE WILL PREVENT ALL SERVICE, INCLUDING 911 DIALING. Such outages may occur for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, failure of network elements provided by parties other than Number Wholesale and other reasons described elsewhere in this Agreement or on the Web Site.
2.3.5 Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
You acknowledge and understand that our liability is limited for any Service outage and/or inability to dial 911 from your line or to access emergency service personnel, as set forth in this Agreement. YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS Number Wholesale, AND ITS AFFILIATES, PARENTS AND SUBSIDIARIES, TOGETHER WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE MEMBERS, OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, VENDORS AND REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “Number Wholesale INDEMNITEES”), FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, FINES, PENALTIES, COSTS, LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS, INCLUDING COSTS ON APPEAL) INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY ANY OF SUCH Number Wholesale INDEMNITIEES RELATING TO ANY FAILURE, OUTAGE, AND/OR DEGRADATION IN QUALITY OR FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THOSE RELATED TO 911 AND/OR E911 DIALING OR SERVICE.
2.4 Re-Activation Required If You Change Your Number
You acknowledge and understand that 911 service does not function if you change your phone number unless and until you have successfully activated the 911 dialing feature following the instructions from the “Emergency 911” link on your control panel, and until such later date that such activation has been confirmed to you through a confirming email. 911 dialing must be re-activated. Although you may have activated 911 dialing with your former Number Wholesale phone number, you must separately activate 911 dialing for any new number.
2.5 Possibility of Network Congestion and/or Reduced Speed for Routing 911
Due to the manner in which it is technically possible to provide the 911 dialing feature for Number Wholesale Phone Service at this time, you acknowledge and understand that there is a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 communication made utilizing your Equipment as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks. You acknowledge and understand that there may be a greater possibility that the general telephone number for the local emergency service provider will produce a busy signal or will take longer to answer, as compared to those 911 calls routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls using traditional 911 dialing.
2.6 Automated Number Identification
At this time in the technical development of Number Wholesale 911 dialing, it may or may not be possible for the PSAP and the local emergency personnel to identify your phone number when you dial 911. The Service is configured in most instances to send the automated number identification information; however, the Service routes the traffic to the PSAP and the PSAP itself must be able to receive the information and pass it along properly, and at this time all PSAPs are not necessarily always technically capable of doing so. You acknowledge and understand that PSAP and emergency personnel may or may not be able to identify your phone number in order to call you back if the call is unable to be completed, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak to tell them your phone number and/or if the Service is not operational for any reason, including without limitation those listed elsewhere in this Agreement.
2.7 Automated Location Identification
At this time in the technical development of Number Wholesale 911 Dialing, it may not be possible to transmit identification of your Service address that you have listed to the PSAP and local emergency personnel for your area when you dial 911. You acknowledge and understand that you may need to state the nature of your emergency promptly and clearly, including your location, as PSAP personnel may NOT have this information. You acknowledge and understand that PSAP and emergency personnel may not be able to find your location if the call is unable to be completed, is dropped or disconnected, if you are unable to speak to tell them your location, and/or if the Service is not operational for any reason, including without limitation those listed elsewhere in this Agreement.
2.8 Alternative 911 Arrangements
You acknowledge that the Service is not intended to be a primary line or lifeline service. Number Wholesale recommends that you carefully evaluate your own circumstances when deciding whether to rely solely upon the Service for 911 service. You acknowledge that it is solely your responsibility to make such an evaluation and to make the decision best suited to meet your emergency service needs. Maintaining an alternative means of accessing traditional 911 service (e.g. conventional landline phone or wireless phone) is always a prudent course of action.
2.13 No compatibility with other equipment
All non-voice communications equipment, including but not limited to, home security systems that are set up to make automatic or automated phone calls, fax machines, modems, TTY equipment, entertainment or satellite television systems, and medical monitoring devices, may not be compatible with the Service. By accepting this Agreement, you waive any claim against Number Wholesale for interference with, damage to, or disruption of such systems due in part or in whole to the Service (including any Equipment).
2.14 911 Service Fees
IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER FEES AND CHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SERVICE, YOU MAY BE CHARGED A MONTHLY SERVICE FEE FOR 911/E911 SERVICE (THE “E911 SERVICE FEE”). THE E911 SERVICE FEE IS ASSESSED ON A “PER-LINE” (I.E. PER PHONE NUMBER) BASIS, AND WILL BE SET AT A LEVEL THAT REIMBURSES Number Wholesale FOR THE DIRECT COSTS WE INCUR IN PROVIDING 911 SERVICE, INCLUDING EXPENSES WE INCUR, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE FORM OF STATE, COUNTY OR MUNICIPAL 911 SURCHARGES, 911 AUTOMATIC LOCATION INFORMATION (“ALI”) DATABASE STORAGE, LINE INFORMATION DATABASE AND CALLER ID (“LIDB/CNAM”) EXPENSES, AND ANY OTHER TAXES OR SURCHARGES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROVISION OF SERVICE TO YOU. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, REDUCE, INCREASE, AND/OR INTERMITTENTLY APPLY OR REMOVE THE E911 SERVICE FEE FROM TIME TO TIME TO REFLECT CHANGES IN OUR COSTS AND/OR COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES WITH APPLICABLE REGULATIONS. THE E911 SERVICE FEE MAY NOT BE REFLECTED IN YOUR BILL FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL BILLING CYCLES, WHICH SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS AN INDICATION THAT SUCH FEE WILL NOT BE APPLIED IN THE FUTURE.
3. USE OF SERVICE
3.1 Use of Virtual Office Service
If you have subscribed to Number Wholesale’s Phone Service, the Service is provided to you as a home or business user. This means that you are not permitted to resell or transfer the Service to any other person or entity for any purpose. You agree to limit your use of the Service to ordinary and usual home or office voice communications and not to use the Service for auto-dialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, telemarketing, fax broadcasting, fax blasting, or any type of automated or continuous use. Number Wholesale reserves the right to immediately terminate or modify the Service, if Number Wholesale determines, in its sole discretion, that the Service is being used for any of the aforementioned activities, subject to applicable law regarding such terminations.
3.2 Bundled Service
You acknowledge and agree that certain Services that are offered on a bundled basis (which may include local, toll, long distance and international service) cannot be separated. You acknowledge that these services (local, toll, and long distance) are not available individually and that in order to maintain any of the services in the bundle, you must maintain the others on the same Service line.
3.3 Lawful Use of Service and Device
3.3.1 Prohibited Uses
You agree to use the Service and Equipment only for lawful purposes and not to use them for transmitting or receiving any communication, content or material of any kind which, in Number Wholesale’s sole judgment, is unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene or otherwise objectionable, including where the transmission, receipt and/or possession of such communication or material would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to a civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law. Number Wholesale reserves the right to terminate your Service immediately and without advance notice if Number Wholesale, in its sole discretion, believes that you have violated the above restrictions, in which case you will be responsible for paying the Default Charges. You are liable for any and all use of the Service by any person making use of the Service and agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Number Wholesale Indemnities from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney fees and costs, including costs on appeal) incurred or suffered by any of such Number Wholesale Indemnities (collectively, “Indemnifiable Damages”) arising out of any such use that fails to comply with this Section. If Number Wholesale, in its sole discretion, believes that you have violated the above restrictions, Number Wholesale may forward the objectionable material, as well as your communications with Number Wholesale and your personally identifiable information to the appropriate authorities for investigation and prosecution.
3.3.2 Use of Service and Device by Customers Outside the United States
While we encourage use of the any service (such as Phone Service or other service that involves a physical phone) within the United States to make calls to other countries, Number Wholesale does not presently offer or support such service to customers located in other countries. If you remove any Equipment to a country other than the United States and attempt to use the service from there, you do so at your own risk, including the risk that such activity violates local laws in the country where you do so. You are liable for any and all use of the service and/or related Equipment by any person making use of the Service or such Equipment provided to you. Transport or sale of the Equipment outside of the United States may result in a violation of US or foreign technology import/export laws or rules; compliance with which is your sole responsibility. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT 911 SERVICE WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL IF THE PHONE SERVICE OR OTHER SERVICE THAT INVOLVES A PHYSICAL PHONE IS USED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service may be used outside of the United States in accordance with local laws.
3.3.3 Copyright / Trademark / Unauthorized Usage of Device, Firmware or Software
The Service, including any Equipment, firmware or software used to provide the Service or provided to Customer in conjunction with providing the Service (including firmware embedded in any Equipment), and all information, documents and materials provided or offered by Number Wholesale and on the Web Site are protected by trademark, copyright and/or other intellectual property laws and international treaty provisions. All websites, corporate names, service marks, trademarks, trade names, logos and domain names (collectively “marks”) of Number Wholesale are and shall remain the exclusive property of Number Wholesale and nothing in this Agreement shall grant you the right to right or license to use such marks. You acknowledge that you are not given any license to use any firmware or software used to provide the Service or provided to you in conjunction with providing the Service, or embedded in any Equipment, other than a nontransferable, revocable license to use the same (without making any modification thereto) strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that the Equipment is exclusively for use in connection with the Service. You represent and warrant that you possess all required rights, including software and/or firmware licenses, to use any other equipment (e.g. telephone handsets) permitted to be used with the Service and you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Number Wholesale and the Number Wholesale Indemnities from and against any and all Indemnifiable Damages incurred or suffered by them arising out of or in connection with your use of such equipment with the Service.
3.3.4 Tampering with Equipment
You agree not to change the electronic serial number or equipment identifier of any Equipment, or to perform a factory reset of any Equipment, without express permission from Number Wholesale in each instance. Doing so shall constitute a material violation of this Agreement.
3.3.5 Loss or Theft of Service
You agree to notify Number Wholesale immediately, by calling the Number Wholesale customer service line, if any Equipment is lost, damaged, broken or stolen, or if you suspect or become aware at any time that Service is being stolen, tampered with or fraudulently used. You will be liable for all use of the Service using Equipment or any access code, password or the like lost by or stolen from you and any and all stolen Service or fraudulent use of the Service until Number Wholesale is informed of the loss or theft. In addition, you will be responsible for all lost, damaged, stolen or broken Equipment and may be required to purchase replacement Equipment in order to continue Service at the retail price of the Equipment, plus applicable shipping costs and taxes.
3.3.6 Phone Numbers
Number Wholesale will provide telephone numbers to be used in connection with the Service (each, a “Number”). In the alternative, customers may port a number to Number Wholesale for use with Number Wholesale’s Service. A request by you to port your Number from Number Wholesale to another provider may be deemed a request by you to terminate your agreement with Number Wholesale. If you decide to port your Number to another service provider, you remain liable to Number Wholesale for any applicable early termination fees, equipment charges, and any outstanding balances due on your account. In addition, you may be charged a port-out fee for each such number to cover our costs of this process. Your account must remain active until the port is complete. If your service is terminated prior to porting, it will result in the loss of the Number. As a result, the Number will not be eligible for porting. [CONFIRM]
3.3.6.1 New Phone Numbers
You may select a new Number or Numbers for use with the Service. In some instances, certain numbers may not be available due to a lag in database updates. Therefore, when you reserve a Number or Numbers from our inventory, you must test the Number(s) by calling the Number(s) from a line outside of the Number Wholesale network (e.g. landline, cellphone, or from a non- Number Wholesale Number) within 48 hours of reservation to confirm the Number(s) are attached to your account. Number Wholesale’s liability for a Number that is unavailable due to a database lag is limited to the cost the Customer paid for the Number itself. Number Wholesale’s will not be responsible for any consequential damages, including, but not limited, to marketing costs associated with the use of the Number(s) that are ultimately unavailable. By utilizing Number Wholesale’s Number Database, you agree to abide by this condition. [CONFIRM]
3.3.7 Service Distinctions
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE SERVICE HAS DIFFERENT TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS AND OTHER TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AS COMPARED WITH TRADITIONAL TELEPHONE SERVICE. THE SERVICE MAY BE SUBJECT TO DIFFERENT REGULATORY TREATMENT THAN TRADITIONAL OR WIRELINE PHONE SERVICE. THIS TREATMENT MAY LIMIT OR OTHERWISE AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES BEFORE FEDERAL AND/OR STATE REGULATORY AGENCIES. In addition, you acknowledge that the Numbers you obtain from us will not be listed in any telephone directory (except for Numbers ported to us from your local phone company, which may be listed). One of the consequences of this is that a reverse directory lookup of your Number will most likely not reveal your address.
3.3.8 Compliance With Law
In connection with your use of the Service, you agree to comply with all applicable Federal, state, local, and international laws, rules, regulations, ordinances and decrees, including, without limitation, U. S. export laws (discussed further below) concerning the transmission of technical data and other regulated materials via the Service, and regarding the notification and consent, including two-party consent, where applicable, with respect to the recording of telephone conversations. You are responsible for your compliance with all laws relating to the recording of conversations, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Number Wholesale for any violations committed by you, your employees, agents, contractors, or other third party utilizing your Service. Number Wholesale expressly disclaims all liability and responsibility with respect to your recording of telephone conversations.
3.3.8.1 Compliance with Export Laws

You agree to comply with all international and domestic export laws and economic sanctions as they may apply to our Services and any software and equipment provided in connection thereof. Should you transfer or resell the Services to the extent permitted by these Terms of Service, you agree to comply with any licensing or authorization requirements necessary to export, re-export, or transfer any software or equipment necessary to utilize the Services. For your reference, these laws may preclude or restrict destinations, End Users, and end use for the Services, software, and equipment.

We reserve the right to transfer customer’s authorization to charge their credit card onto any new credit card replacing existing one.

Such amounts are in addition to all other charges for the Service and will be billed to your account.

Our provision of Service to you is at all times subject to credit approval by us. You agree to provide us with such credit information or assurance as we may reasonably request from time to time. You acknowledge that we may discontinue credit at any time without notice and/or require a deposit.

Although we may suspend your account, you are not eligible for a pro-rated refund for the time that your account was suspended. If we terminate your Service, your account will be terminated, and all files, emails, settings, configuration and other data stored by Number Wholesale will be deleted and your phone number(s) may be reassigned.

Reclaimed numbers will be returned to the relevant numbering administrator that provided the number to Number Wholesale. If we are required to reclaim a number from your account, we will provide you at least two (2) weeks’ notice, unless we are prevented from doing so by the applicable regulatory agency, governmental organization, or numbering administrator.
