911 DISCLAIMER
PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING 911 VERY CAREFULLY. BY ACTIVATING AND PAYING
FOR THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE LIMITATIONS OF SINGLEPIPES 911
EMERGENCY DIALING SERVICE, AND UNDERSTAND THE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN SUCH SERVICE
AND TRADITIONAL 911 or E911 CALLS.
- 911 SERVICE DOES NOT WORK IF YOU FAIL TO REGISTER OR UPDATE THE 911 SERVICE WITH
YOUR CURRENT LOCATION
- 911 SERVICE WILL NOT WORK IF THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL OR INTERNET SERVICE OUTAGE DUE
TO ANY CAUSE
- 911 SERVICE WILL NOT WORK IF YOUR SERVICE HAS BEEN CANCELLED BY YOU OR TERMINATED
BY SINGLEPIPE
- YOU INDEMNIFY SINGLEPIPE FOR ANY FAILURE IN THE 911 SERVICE
Most of SINGLEPIPE customers in the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii, have access
to basic 911 or Enhanced 911 (E911) service. Enhanced 911 (E911) service is available
for all U.S. customers who register a valid E911 service address.
With E911 service, when you dial 911, your telephone number and registered address
is simultaneously sent to the local emergency center assigned to your location,
and emergency operators have access to the information they need to send help and
call you back if necessary. If you live in locations where the emergency center
is not equipped to receive your telephone number and address, you have basic 911.
With basic 911, the local emergency operator answering the call will not have your
call back number or your exact location, so you must be prepared to give them this
information. Until you give the operator your phone number and location, he/she
may not be able to call you back or dispatch help if the call is not completed or
is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak.
As additional local emergency centers become capable of receiving our customers'
telephone number and address information, customers will need to register a valid
E911 service address to upgrade the service to E911. SINGLEPIPE will not inform
you that new local emergency centers have been added. If your address is not covered
by E911 service, SINGLEPIPE advises you to attempt to register your address periodically
to determine if a new local emergency center has been added to your area.
Certain customers do not have access to either basic 911 or E911 because there are
no local emergency centers in their area or they did not register for an E911 service
address. If you do not have access to basic 911 or E911, your 911 call will be sent
to the national emergency call center. A trained agent at the emergency call center
will ask for the name, telephone number and location of the customer calling 911,
and then contact the local emergency center for such customer in order to send help.
Emergency personnel do not receive your phone number or physical location when your
911 call is routed to a national emergency call center. Therefore, you must be prepared
to give the operator your phone number and location and any other information that
the operator might request. You authorize the national emergency call center to
disclose your name and address to the third party or parties involved with providing
emergency services to you, including, without limitation, call routers, call centers
and local emergency centers.
Notify All Users Customer’s are responsible for informing any household residents,
guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where
you utilize the 911 SERVICE of the important differences in and limitations of 911
SERVICE as compared with traditional 911 land line or cell phone service.
Registration of Physical Location Required For each primary phone number that you
use for the Service, you must register with SINGLEPIPE the physical location where
you will be using the Service with that phone number. When you move the Device to
another location, you must register your new location. If you do not register your
new location, any 911 calls you make using the 911 SERVICE may be sent to an emergency
center near your old address. You must register your initial location of use when
you subscribe to the Service.
Thereafter, you may register a new location by following the instructions from the
"911" registration link in your SINGLEPIPE Account Portal. For purposes of the 911
SERVICE, you may only register one location at a time for each primary phone line
you use with the Service.
Re-Registration Required if You Change Your Number or Add or Port New Numbers 911
SERVICE does not function if you change your phone number or if you add or port
new phone numbers to your account, unless and until you successfully register your
location of use for each changed, newly added or newly ported phone number and receive
confirmation from SINGLEPIPE.
Confirmation of Activation Required Your 911 SERVICE will not be activated for any
phone line that you are using with the Service, unless and until you receive an
email from SINGLEPIPE confirming that the 911 SERVICE has been activated for that
primary phone number. The activation may take up to three days to complete.
Service Outages You acknowledge and understand that the Service and 911 Service
does not function in the event of power failure. Should there be an interruption
in the power supply, the Service and 911 Service will not function until power is
restored. A power failure or disruption may require the Customer to reset or reconfigure
the Device and other CPE equipment prior to using the Service and 911. You also
acknowledge and understand that the Service and 911 Service requires a fully functional
broadband connection to the Internet (which is not provided by SINGLEPIPE) and that,
accordingly, in the event of an outage of, or termination of broadband service with

and 911 Service will not function. If there is an interruption in the power supply
and/or an ISP/broadband outage, the Service and 911 Service will not function until
the power supply is restored and/or the ISP/broadband outage fixed. You acknowledge
that SINGLEPIPE is not responsible for any service outage related to the loss of
electrical power, connectivity, suspension or termination by your broadband or Internet
service provider, the blocking of ports by your broadband or Internet service provider,
suspension or termination of your SINGLEPIPE Services/Account or any failures resulting
from local or national disasters.

which, calls using the 911 SERVICE are answered or addressed by any local emergency
response center. SINGLEPIPE disclaims all responsibility for the conduct of local
emergency response centers and the national emergency calling center. SINGLEPIPE
relies on third parties to assist us in routing 911 SERVICE calls to local emergency
response centers and to a national emergency calling center. SINGLEPIPE disclaims
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 SINGLEPIPE nor
its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and agents and any other service
provider who furnishes services to you in connection with the Service 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 the 911 SERVICE unless such claims
or causes of action arose from SINGLEPIPES gross negligence, recklessness or willful
misconduct. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SINGLEPIPE, its officers,
directors, 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)

outage of the Service, including 911 SERVICE, incorrectly routed 911 SERVICE calls,
and/or the inability of any user of the Service to be able to use 911 SERVICE or
access emergency service personnel.

that if you are not comfortable with the limitations of the 911 SERVICE, SINGLEPIPE
strongly recommends that you always have an alternative means of accessing emergency
service.
