SIP Trunking Terms of Service

Please review our terms.

FOREWORD.
These Terms of Service constitute the agreement between Telecom Management Group, Inc. (TMG) and the user of Telecom Management Group, Inc.’s communications services and any related products or services. This agreement governs both our service and any TMG-approved or TMG-provided devices used with our service. It applies to all lines on each TMG account. TMG is sometimes referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Telecom Management” and the user is sometimes referred to as “you,” “your,” or “user,” or “customer”. By subscribing to or using our service, you agree to these Terms of Service. All information linked to these Terms of Service is part of it.
TERM.
The term of this agreement shall begin upon the online signup date and continue for a period of one (1) month thereafter (“Initial Term”) unless earlier terminated under the terms of this Agreement. Following the Initial Term, the agreement shall automatically renew for continuous one (1) month terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless written notice of intent to terminate is given no less than fifteen (15) calendar days before the end of the then current Initial Term or Renewal Term by the terminating Party.
INVOICE AND PAYMENT.
1. Customer will be invoiced monthly for all provided services. Services are offered on a prepaid basis requiring a valid credit card stored on file. The credit card on file will be used for automatic and one-time payments to keep the Customer’s account at the Target Balance. Target Balance is based on projected usage of service commensurate to the permitted simultaneous calls and daily call volume. The Prepaid Target Balance will be set at $25.00. With a Prepaid Target Balance of $25.00, Customer is authorizing the credit card on file to be charged to bring the account’s credit balance to this amount. The system will calculate the difference between the current account balance and the Prepaid Target Balance and charge the credit card on file that amount. The Prepaid Replenish Trigger (also known as the Threshold) will be set at $0.01. This is used to determine the circumstances in which the system should charge the credit card on file. For example, the Prepaid Replenish Trigger is set for $0.01. When the account balance reaches $0.01, the system will automatically charge the card on file to bring the account balance back up to the Prepaid Target Balance of $25.00 (resulting in a $25.00 payment). This replenishment will occur automatically, one-time per day. If the cost of usage exceeds the estimated threshold more than once per day, the client can login to the account and make a one-time payment. Additionally, if the usage regularly exceeds the projected amount, Customer can request an increase to the Prepay Target Balance to automatically replenish the credit. TMG reserves the right to revise the Prepaid Target Balance and Prepaid Replenish Trigger at its discretion.
2. Total due at Contract Signing: $25.00
3. Customer will pay the fees described in this Agreement.
4. Customer will bear all taxes, duties, and other government charges relating to the Services (including interest and penalties to the extent caused by Customer’s actions or omissions), except taxes based on TMG’s income. Customer will support any TMG claim of tax exemption with appropriate
5. Interest will accrue on past-due balances as of the date of delinquency at the higher of:
  1. one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or
  2. the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Service may immediately be suspended for non-payment or exceeding customers credit limit without notice. If Services are suspended due to nonpayment of fees or exceeding customer’s credit limit and subsequently reconnected, a reconnection fee or deposit may apply, in addition to applicable interest.
6. Customer unconditionally guarantees that the Customer will timely perform all obligations under this agreement and waives any notification if the Customer is in default and consents to any extensions or modifications granted to the Customer. In the event of a default, the Customer will immediately pay all sums due under the terms of this Agreement without requiring TMG to proceed against Customer, any other party or equipment. Customer consents to personal jurisdiction, venue, choice of law and jury trial waiver as stated in this agreement and agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by TMG related to this
CONFIDENTIALITY.
1. During the course of this Agreement, either Party may receive or have access to Confidential Information of the other. “Confidential Information” means any confidential information or data disclosed by a Party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (“Recipient”) under or in contemplation of this Agreement, which
2. if in tangible form or other media that can be converted to readable form is clearly marked as Confidential, proprietary, or private when disclosed; or
3. if oral or visual, is identified as Confidential, proprietary, or private on disclosure. The terms “Disclosing Party” and “Recipient” include each Party’s corporate affiliates that disclose or receive Confidential Information. Each Party will cause its affiliates to comply with the obligations of this Section 4, and each Party agrees that it is responsible for its affiliates’ compliance with this Section 4. Actions or omissions by a Party’s affiliate, that if taken by said Party would constitute a breach of this Section 4, will be considered actions or omissions of said Party. The Recipient acknowledges the economic value of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
4. The Recipient therefore, will:
  1. use the Confidential Information only in connection with the Recipient’s performance of its obligations or in exercising its rights under this Agreement;
  2. restrict disclosure of the Confidential Information to employees of the Recipient and its affiliates with a “need to know” and not disclose it to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party;
  3. advise those employees who have access to the Confidential Information of their obligations with respect thereto;
  4. treat the Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care to avoid disclosure to any third party as is used by Recipient with respect to its own information of like importance which is to be kept secret; and
  5. copy the Confidential Information only as necessary for those employees who are entitled to receive it and ensure that all confidentiality notices are reproduced in full on such copies.
5. For the purposes of this Section 4 only, “employee” includes third parties retained by the Parties for temporary consultative, administrative, clerical, programming or related Services support. A “need to know” means that the employee reasonably requires the Confidential Information to perform his or her responsibilities in connection with this Agreement.
6. “Confidential Information” will not include, and the obligations of this Section 5 will not apply to, any information or data which the Recipient can demonstrate:
  1. is available to the public;
  2. becomes available to the public through no breach of this or any other agreements between the Parties;
  3. before its disclosure hereunder, was known by the Recipient without any obligation owing to the Disclosing Party (directly or indirectly) to hold it in confidence;
  4. is received from a third party who does not owe any duty to the Disclosing Party (directly or indirectly) with respect to such information;
  5. is independently developed by the Recipient without the use of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or
  6. is approved for release by written authorization of the Disclosing Party but only to the extent of such authorization and without any disassembly, reverse engineering, or similar undertaking by Recipient. If Recipient is required by law or regulation to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, Recipient may do so, but only to the extent and for the purposes of such required disclosure, and only if the Recipient first promptly notifies the Disclosing Party of the need for such disclosure and allows the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order.
  7. Confidential Information, including copies, will be deemed the property of the Disclosing Party. The Recipient will, within twenty (20) days of a written request by the Disclosing Party return all Confidential Information (or any designated portion thereof), including all copies thereof, to the Disclosing Party or if so directed by the Disclosing Party, destroy such Confidential Information. The Recipient will also, within ten (10) days of a written request by the Disclosing Party, certify in writing that it has satisfied its obligations under this Section.
LIMITED WARRANTY.
1. TMG warrants that Services
  1. will meet the applicable specifications in the Agreement; and
  2. will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner by individuals with suitable skills and abilities.

Except as provided in an Attachment, Services will be deemed accepted when performed. TMG does not warrant products, equipment, hardware, or software not manufactured or managed by TMG, but will, to the extent permitted, assign to Customer any warranties given to TMG by the applicable vendor(s).
  3. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, TMG MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT.

ALL OF THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY, HOWEVER, WHETHER THE APPLICABLE CLAIM IS BASED ON LOST GOODWILL, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, OR OTHER PROPERTY, LOSS OR IMPAIRMENT OF DATA OR SOFTWARE, OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER THE APPLICABLE CLAIM ARISES OUT OF BREACH OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.
INDEMNIFICATION.
1. TMG and Customer agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other, its respective officers, agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, invitees, and representatives, from and against any and all third party claims, including without limitation claims by Customer’s customers, of loss, damages, liability, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) for physical injury or death or damage to real property to the extent caused by the indemnifying Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligations under this Section, the indemnifying Party will have the right to conduct the defense of such claim or action and all negotiations for settlement or compromise. However, the indemnified Party, at its own expense, may participate in the defense of any such proceeding through counsel of its own.

  1. for late payments, ten (10) days;
  2. for all other matters, thirty (30) days, after notice specifying, in reasonable detail, the nature of the default, then the non-defaulting Party may by further notice terminate for cause the Attachment or, if such breach affects the entire Agreement, this Agreement. Where TMG is the defaulting Party, the cure period will extend for up to thirty (30) more days if TMG notifies Customer that TMG has commenced cure activities and continues to use good faith efforts to cure the default. On termination by TMG for Cause or by Customer without cause, Customer will pay as liquidated damages and not as a penalty the sum of all remaining recurring Service fees (as well as any past due balances) due under the remaining term(s) of the affected Attachment(s), and any waived setup fees.

  2. result of a Service,
  3. joint development, and/or
  4. enhancement or improvement to or derivative of any of the foregoing (collectively, “TMG Property”). The intellectual property rights associated with TMG Property are referred to collectively as “TMG IP”. Except as provided in an Attachment, Customer receives no right, title or interest in or license to use any TMG IP. However, Customer does receive a non-exclusive, nontransferable, terminable license to use such of the TMG IP that is necessary for Customer to exercise its rights hereunder, but solely in connection with and only for the term of the applicable Service and subject to the terms of any applicable Attachment.

    1. are bound by law or written agreement to comply with Customer’s duties under this Agreement with respect to TMG Property and Confidential Information, and
    2. require such access to assist Customer in its permitted use thereof. Customer will not directly or indirectly reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or copy any TMG Property.

SERVICE LEVELS.

Service Availability Service Level. The Availability Service Level for the TMG SIP INTERFACE and underlying switch is 99.90%. The TMG SIP INTERFACE and underlying switch is considered unavailable if such Service is unable to send and receive traffic for reasons other than an Excused Outage. In the event that the TMG SIP INTERFACE becomes unavailable for reasons other than an Excused Outage, Customer will be entitled to a service credit off of the MRC associated with the affected TMG SIP INTERFACE based on the cumulative unavailability of the affected TMG SIP INTERFACE in a given calendar month as set forth in the following table:

Unavailability (in hrs:mins:secs)	Service Level Credit
0:00:01 – 24:00:00	No Credit
24:00:01 – 48:00:00	1%
48:00:01 – 72:00:00	5%
72:00:01 – 96:00:00	10%
96:00:01 or greater	20%

Customer will not be entitled to a Service Level credit associated with planned maintenance and system upgrades or any other Service Level under this Section to the extent any such failure arises out of or is related to the unavailability event giving rise to credits under this Availability Service Level.

AUTHORIZED USERS.
1. Customer will be enrolled for access to the SIP INTERFACE by TMG, for one individual who is authorized to access and use the interface on behalf of Customer. Customer shall have the right to edit the Authorized User information from time to time at Customer’s discretion.
2. Customer agrees that the person using the interface username and password is the Authorized User assigned to that username and password, and has the access rights and authority to bind Customer consistent with the access rights and authority assigned by Customer to that Authorized User.
3. Customer shall be responsible for the confidentiality and use of the interface username, password and other security data, methods and devices provided by TMG to Customer for use by the Authorized User. Customer shall be responsible for the cost of replacing any security devices lost or stolen after delivery by TMG to Customer. Customer shall immediately notify TMG if there is any unauthorized use of Customer’s username(s), password(s) and other security data, methods or
EMERGENCY 911 SERVICES.
1. Emergency 911 services (including without limitation Enhanced 911 (E911) services) that may be provided by TMG in connection with the Services may differ in certain respects from the emergency calling services provided by a traditional wire-line telecommunications provider. These differences may adversely affect the availability and/or timeliness of the provision of 911 services to Customer or others in the event of an emergency. Customer may have to enable 911 services on its devices or Services account. 911 dialing is not automatic. When a user dials 911 using the Services, the user will be routed to the general telephone number for the public safety answering point (PSAP) or local emergency service provider (which may not be answered outside business hours), and may not be routed to the 911 dispatcher(s) who are specifically designated to receive incoming 911 calls using traditional wire-line telecommunications 911 dialing. TMG relies on third parties for the forwarding of information underlying the routing of 911 calls, and accordingly TMG disclaims any and all liability or responsibility in the event such information is incorrect or delayed, or in the event the routing of a 911 call fails. In addition, due to limitations in technology, the location reported by TMG to the public safety dispatcher for Customer’s telephone may not include the Customer’s specific office or other location within a business premises. Due to the inherent limitation in TMG’s provision of 911 services, CUSTOMER SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE AN ALTERNATE MEANS OF ACCESSING EMERGENCY 911 SERVICES.
2. A Rogue 911 call is any call placed to 911 through UniTel Voice from an unregistered ANI (CallerID). Rogue 911 calls are subject to a fee of up to $300 per our terms of service. To avoid Rouge 911 charges please ensure that any call sent from your system to UniTel Voice uses a registered ANI. For information on how to register a DID for 911 with UniTel Voice please contact the Support Team. If you do send a 911 call to UniTel Voice from an unregistered ANI, you will be assessed a $300 fee, and an email will be sent to you advising of the call and the CallerID used for the call. If you have setup e911 services through the UniTel Voice procedure, be sure to test that your number is correctly registered by dialing 933, and ensuring that the address recorded is accurate.
3. Locations of Users. Customer is responsible for the accurate reporting of the physical location where the Services are to be used and for instructing each employee, agent and contractor that he/she must provide TMG with the specific location in which he/she is located within the Customer’s premises in the event of an emergency. Customer is required to maintain valid E911 addresses for each of Customer’s physical locations where the Services are deployed. Should an emergency arise, emergency services may be delayed or may be unable to respond to Customer’s needs if Customer’s account does not have a valid E911 address on file. Failure to provide and maintain valid and current information as to the physical location of the telephone(s) could result in a $300.00 charge to the Customer’s account. In the event that any equipment used in connection with the Services is moved to another location, Customer is responsible for notifying TMG and updating Customer’s account records to reflect the new address where the Services are to be provided, and for instructing each employee, agent and contractor that he/she must update TMG promptly when such employee, agent or contractor changes the physical location to which the Services are being provided. Even though Customer will be able to use the Services in the event Customer changes the physical location where the Services are to be provided, failure to update emergency dispatch information promptly could result in the failure to dispatch.
  1. As indicated in Sections 12a and 12b, TMG’s provision of Enhanced 911 service has several limitations. Those limitations may prevent Customer from making emergency calls. Additional factors that could result in Enhanced 911 failures include but are not limited to any of the following:
    1. Loss of electrical power
    2. Loss of Internet connection for any reason
    3. Defective customer premises equipment
  2. Network congestion
  3. Delays in updating Customer’s registered service address
  4. Unavailability of E911 service for phones or addresses outside the United States or Canada
4. Customer should inform all employees, agents and contractors who may have access to E911 service about this section of the Agreement and make sure they understand the terms and conditions under which the E911 service is available. Customer is solely responsible for marking its telephones and any other devices regarding the potential non-availability of traditional 911 or E911 dialing. In addition, Customer should inform its employees, agents and contractors of the following guidelines for use of 911 or E911 service in connection with the Services:
  1. Do not hang up from a 911 or E911 emergency service call unless and until instructed to do so by the 911 operators.
  2. If the call is disconnected for any reason, immediately dial 911 again.
  3. The caller must be prepared to provide a physical address and a callback telephone number to the 911 operators.
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
1. Customer agrees to be bound by any additional terms and conditions displayed on the SIP INTERFACE and agreed (or accepted) by Customer that may be applicable to any Service or Customer Order submitted via the SIP INTERFACE.
CHANGES, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF THE SIP INTERFACE.

TMG may, at any time and without notice, change, modify and/or alter the SIP INTERFACE, including, without limitation, the functionality of the SIP INTERFACE and the Service available for ordering by Customer therein; provided, however, that TMG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer of such changes, additions or deletions.

2. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any Customer Order for Service submitted via the SIP INTERFACE by an Authorized User with Customer Order submission authority shall constitute a valid and binding Customer Order of Customer (subject to the same terms and conditions for all Customer Orders under the Agreement), and Customer shall be responsible for any and all charges associated with such Customer Order.
3. has read this Agreement, understands it, and agrees to be bound by all of its terms, conditions, and provisions.

This turn-up can be as quick as 2 business days but completion times can vary. TMG will communicate the necessary timeframe to the Customer. Timeframes are provided in good faith and it is understood that delays may occur outside the control of TMG. TMG will communicate any changes to the turn-up in a timely fashion, in good faith.
2. TMG will work with underlying carrier networks to monitor the utilization and has the right to increase trunk capacity as needed. Changes will be communicated to the Customer.
