  1. All West VoIP Services. In addition to the General Terms and Conditions above, the following conditions are specifically applicable to VoIP Services:

a. Description of VoIP Services. VoIP services allow the Customer to make or receive telephone calls over the internet to or from the public switched telephone network. The Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA) is a device that allows you to connect a normal public switched telephone network telephone to the Internet in order to make or place telephone calls. The nature of VoIP telephone calls, while appearing similar to traditional telephone calling services, creates unique limitations and circumstances, and you acknowledge, understand, and agree that differences exist between traditional telephone service and VoIP telephone services, including the lack of traditional 911 emergency services.

b. 911 and E-911 Calls. Prior to the initialization of the Services, on your Application for Services you shall provide accurate name and address information where the ATA and the Services will be utilized (also known as “Registered Location”) for the purpose of updating the E-911 Data Base. If your Registered Location provided on your Application does not convert to a valid Master Street Address Guide (also known to as the “MSAG”) address for your locality, All West will notify you and stop all processing of the order until you provides an MSAG-compatible address.

c. Accuracy of Registered Location Information. You assume all responsibility for the accuracy of the Registered Location that you provide to All West for entry into the E-911 Data Base. You bear the responsibility to notify All West of any changes to the Registered Location. You agree to indemnify and hold All West harmless from any claims, damages, or suits related to the accuracy of data provided by you for inclusion in the E-911 Data Base. You shall provide (and update as necessary) All West with accurate information related to E-911 Service, including, but not limited to: location of individual telephone stations and a description of your facilities, equipment and software for the Services. You acknowledge and agree that you will not use All West’s services from any location other than the Registered Location, and that you will not use the ATA from any location other than the Registered Location. It is your responsibility to update the physical location information where the service is being used, or where the ATA is being used, if it differs from the prior Registered Location.

d. Limitation to 911 and E-Service. You acknowledge and understand that access to emergency services through 911 and E-911 calls is limited; that the VoIP Service supports E-911 (where available); and that access to emergency service is available only if the service is operated from the Registered Location, and then only if you have an active connection to the service. You acknowledge and understand that if there is a service outage (even related to extended power outages) for any reason, such outage may prevent all voice service, including 911 dialing.

e. Service Outages Due to Power Failure or Disruption. Dependent upon your location, network backup power systems may be in place during the event of a power failure. Your device, as set forth herein, may also provide limited battery backup. Consult with All West to determine whether or not your device has battery backup.

f. Service Outages Due to Internet Outage or Suspension or Disconnection of Broadband Service or ISP Service. Service outages or suspensions or disconnections of service by your broadband provider or ISP will prevent all All West VoIP Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.

g. Service Outages Due to ISP or Broadband Provider Blocking of Ports or Other Acts. Your ISP or 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. In that event, provided that you alert us to this situation, we will attempt to work with you to resolve the issue. During the period that the ports are being blocked or your Service is impeded, and unless and until the blocking or impediment is removed or the blocking or impediment is otherwise resolved, your Service, including the 911 dialing feature, may not function. You acknowledge that All West is not responsible for the blocking of ports by your ISP or broadband provider 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.

h. 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.

i. 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.

j. Time. You also acknowledge that it may take All West up to seven (7) days to get the correct address information to E-911 database and that during that time the E-911 Data Base may have the wrong address information. You should be prepared to give the local emergency operator answering the 911 call, your call back number and exact location.

k. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification. You will indemnify and hold All West, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred as a result of any act or omission, representation or statement by you, your affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents related to E-911 services.

l. Release. You agree to release, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless All West from any and all losses, claims, demands, damages, expenses, suits or other action or any liability whatsoever including, without limitation, costs and attorneys’ fees, suffered, made, instituted, or asserted by you and your users against All West arising out of, or related to, 911/E-911 service, including, but not limited to, the delivery of 911/E911 calls to emergency call centers, the delivery of the end user’s call back number and location information, and/or providing information to customers of the capabilities and limitations of 911/E-911 services.

ii. Device without battery backup. Devices that do not have a battery backup cannot support 911 dialing in event of a power failure or disruption. If there is an interruption in the power supply, the All West VoIP Service, including 911 Dialing, will not function until power is restored.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Privacy Policy explains All West’s practices and policies relating to the collection and use of your information through or in connection with our Sites and use of our Services, whether you are browsing our website, purchasing Services from, discussing billing issues with our customer service representatives, or using our facilities for your communications needs. This Privacy Policy applies to all products and Services offered by All West, and details our commitment to protect your information.

By visiting our website or using our Services, you consent to the collection and use of your information by us as set forth in this Privacy Policy. All West reserves the right to change or modify the terms of this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check it regularly for any changes or updates. Updates will be posted on All West’s web site at www.allwest.com. In addition, if you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, you may contact us by telephone or mail at 866.ALL.WEST (255-9378) or 50 West 100 North, Kamas, Utah 84036.

  1. Important Terms Used In This Privacy Policy. Throughout this Privacy Policy we use several specialized terms: “Customer Proprietary Network Information“ (CPNI) means your service usage related information such as the numbers you call and when you call them, as well as the particular services you use, such as call forwarding or voice mail. We collect this information so we can provide you with the services you have requested and send you bills for these services. “Personally Identifiable Information” is information that tells us specifically who you are, your name, street address, email address, billing address, social security number, driver’s license number, credit card information, bank account number, telephone number, and other account information. “User Information” means all Personally Identifiable Information and any other forms of information discussed in this Privacy Policy, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address of a user’s computer and CPNI (as defined below). We use the term “aggregate” when we combine information from various persons and users. Information is said to be “anonymous” if it does not identify individual persons or entities or associate a particular person or entity with such information.
  2. Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI). CPNI is a subcategory of protected customer information defined by federal law as information about a consumer’s account, including usage and billing of telecommunications services. Those services are offered by providers of traditional local, long distance, and wireless services, as well as providers of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services to consumers. CPNI includes what services you subscribe to, how you use them, and what you are charged for them. It does not include your name, address, telephone number, or other types of information such as information about your telephone equipment or Internet access services. We are required to treat CPNI confidentially, and we do. The FCC regulates when and how CPNI can be shared and used.

a. Marketing rules. The FCC has categorized consumer CPNI into three distinct service groups: local, long distance, and wireless service. The CPNI that a carrier can use to market its services to its customers – without their approval – depends on what service groups the customer already buys from. Carriers are permitted to use CPNI for marketing similar products within a service group. For example, if you subscribe to our local service, we are allowed to use that local service information to sell you additional local service products and services.

b. Approval rules. We obtain customer approval to use CPNI across service groups in two different ways. In some circumstances, we ask for customer consent. In other words, we may ask customers to “opt-in” to our use of CPNI across service groups. In most circumstances, however, we inform customers that CPNI will be used unless they instruct us not to. In these cases, the customers must specifically “opt-out” to our use of CPNI across service groups. We can ask for long-term approval (that lasts until it is withdrawn) or we can ask for approval each time we interact with a customer (short-term approval).

c. Rules on non-marketing uses of CPNI. We are allowed to use consumer CPNI for various non-marketing purposes without specific customer approval. These activities include installing, providing, billing for, and collecting for Services. We may also use CPNI without specific approval to protect our rights or property or those of our customers or other carriers and to address fraud, abuse or unlawful subscriptions to or use of our services.

d. Access rules. Before speaking with a caller about account information, we take steps to authenticate the identity of the caller and confirm that he or she is authorized to have access to information on the account. We do not discuss account information with anyone other than the account holder. Per FCC rules, we will not discuss call detail information with customers over the telephone unless the customer provides specific information about the calls in question, such as in the context of a billing inquiry, or unless the customer provides their specific password. We will not release CPNI in a retail store unless our customer presents a valid photo ID. Additionally, our customers cannot access online account information using only account information or generally known information. Rather, online account access is restricted through security code and password requirements.

  1. How We Collect Information And How We Use It. We collect information in three primary ways:

a. You give it to use when you purchase or interact with us about a product or service we offer or provide;

We are not responsible or liable for the actions or policies of third parties.
  7. Control of Your Password. To help secure User Information, we have designed a password protected system. We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Except as specifically permitted by this Privacy Policy or other instructions regarding the Services, you should not, lend, give, or otherwise disclose your password to any unauthorized person, or permit any unauthorized person to use your accounts or related passwords. Any loss of control of passwords may result in the loss of control over Personally Identifiable Information or User Information. You will be responsible for any actions taken on your behalf or any person using your password or user identification. If passwords have been compromised, then you should immediately change your password or notify us so that we may issue a new password.
