2. EMERGENCY SERVICES – 911 DIALING
2.1 Non-Availability of Traditional 911 or E911 Dialing Service.
The VoIP Service does not support traditional 911 or E911 access to emergency services in all locations. Where we do not offer traditional 911 or E911 access, we offer a feature known as “911 Dialing” which is a limited emergency calling service available only on Seed Voice certified Equipment. The 911 Dialing feature may not work at all when used in conjunction with a Softphone, mobile app, Virtual Numbers or Subscriber provided Customer Premise Equipment.
OUR 911 DIALING FEATURE IS NOT AUTOMATIC; YOU MUST SEPARATELY TAKE AFFIRMATIVE STEPS, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ON OUR WEBSITE, TO REGISTER THE ADDRESS WHERE YOU WILL USE THE SERVICE IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THE 911 DIALING FEATURE. You must do this for each Seed Voice phone number that you obtain. The 911 Dialing feature of the VoIP Service is different in many important ways from traditional 911 or E911 service as described on our website page for 911 Dialing under “Features,” and below. YOU SHALL INFORM ANY HOUSEHOLD RESIDENTS, GUESTS AND OTHER THIRD PERSONS WHO MAY BE PRESENT AT THE PHYSICAL LOCATION WHERE YOU UTILIZE THE VoIP SERVICE OF (I) THE NON-AVAILABILITY OF TRADITIONAL 911 OR E911, AND (II) THE IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES IN AND LIMITATIONS OF THE SEED VOICE 911 DIALING FEATURE AS COMPARED WITH TRADITIONAL 911 OR E911 DIALING. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PLACE A NOTICE ON EACH DEVICE OR OTHERWISE FIND A MEANS TO ALERT DEVICE USERS OF THESE LIMITATIONS.
2.2 Registration of Physical Location Required.
For each phone number that you use for the VoIP Service, you must register with Seed Voice the physical location where you will be using the VoIP 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 call you make using the 911 Dialing feature may be sent to an emergency center near your old address. You will register your initial location of use when you subscribe to the VoIP Service. Thereafter, you may register a new location by following the instructions from the “911″ registration link on your Seed Voice, web account dashboard features page. For purposes of the 911 Dialing feature, you may only register one location at a time for each phone line you use with the VoIP Service.
2.3 Confirmation of Activation Required.
Your 911 Dialing feature will not be activated for any phone line that you are using with the VoIP Service, unless and until you receive an email from us confirming that the 911 Dialing feature has been activated for that phone line.
2.4 How Emergency Personnel are Contacted.
We contract with a third party to use the address of your registered location to determine the nearest emergency response center and then forward your call to a general number at that center. When the center receives your call, the operator will not have your address and may not have your phone number. You must therefore provide your address and phone number in order to get help. Some local emergency response centers may decide not to have their general numbers answered by live operators 24 hours a day. If we learn that this is the case, we will send your call instead to a national emergency calling center and a trained agent will contact an emergency center near you to dispatch help. You hereby authorize us to disclose your name and address to third-party service providers, including, without limitation, call routers, call centers and public service answering points, for the purpose of dispatching emergency services personnel to your registered location.
2.5 Service Outages.
(a) Service Outages Due to Power Failure or Disruption.
911 Dialing does not function in the event of a power failure or disruption. If there is an interruption in the power supply, the VoIP Service, including 911 dialing, will not function until power is restored and device(s) are “online” or registered. Following a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or reconfigure the device prior to utilizing the service, including 911 dialing.
(b) Service Outages Due to Internet Outage or Suspension or Termination of Broadband Service or ISP Service.
Service outages or suspensions or terminations of service by your broadband provider or ISP will prevent all VoIP Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.
(c) Service Outage Due to Suspension or Termination of Your Seed Voice Account.
Service outages due to suspension or termination of your account will prevent all VoIP Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.
(d) 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 VoIP Service is provided or otherwise impede the usage of the VoIP 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 VoIP Service is impeded, and unless and until the blocking or impediment is removed or the blocking or impediment is otherwise resolved, your VoIP Service, including the 911 Dialing feature, may not function. You acknowledge that Seed Voice is not responsible for the blocking of ports by your ISP or broadband provider or any other impediment to your usage of the VoIP Service, and any loss of service, including 911 Dialing, that may result. In the event you lose VoIP Service as a result of blocking of ports or any other impediment to your usage of the VoIP Service, you will continue to be responsible for payment of the Services’ charges unless and until you terminate the Services in accordance with this Agreement.
(e) Other Service Outages.
If there is a VoIP Service outage for any reason, such outage will prevent all VoIP 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.
2.6 Re-Activation Required if You Change Your Number or Add or Port New Numbers.
911 Dialing 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.
2.7 Network Congestion; Reduced Speed for Routing or Answering 911 Dialing Calls.
(a) Network Congestion. 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 network
(b) Analytics monitoring. Seed Voice uses advanced analytics monitoring for all calls on our Seed Voice server. Calls are data captured and stored on these servers for up to (14) days for troubleshooting purposes along with packet captures and other important tools to help remedy any call quality issues you might experience. Seed Voice WILL NOT listen to any calls on this server without explicit consent from Customer. Any customer may opt out of this troubleshooting and monitoring service by opening a ticket at Help@Seed Voice . com.
2.8 Possible Lack of Automatic Number Identification.
It may or may not be possible for the local emergency personnel to automatically obtain your phone number when you use 911 Dialing. Our system is configured to send the automatic number identification information; however, one or more telephone companies, not us, route the traffic to the emergency response center and that center may not be capable of receiving and passing on that information. As a result, the operator who answers your 911 Dialing call may not be able to automatically obtain your phone number and call you back if the call is not completed or is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, if you are unable to speak to tell the operator your phone number, or if the Service is not operational for any reason.
2.9 No Automated Location Identification.
In most service areas, it is not possible at this time to transmit to the local emergency response center the address that you registered for 911 Dialing. You will need to state the nature of your emergency promptly and clearly, including your location (and possibly your telephone number), as the operator will not have this information. Emergency personnel will not be able to find your location if the call is not completed or is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, if you are unable to speak to tell the operator your location, or if the Service is not operational for any reason.
2.10 Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification.
We do not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using our 911 Dialing service are answered or addressed by any local emergency response center. We disclaim all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centers and the national emergency calling center. We rely on third parties to assist us in routing 911 Dialing calls to local emergency response centers and to a national emergency calling center. We disclaim 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 Seed Voice, nor its affiliates, owners, officers, managers, directors, employees, independent contractors or agents 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 our 911 Dialing service unless such claims or causes of action arose from our gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seed Voice, its affiliates, owners, officers, managers, directors, employees, independent contractors or 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) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including 911 Dialing, incorrectly routed 911 Dialing calls, and/or the inability of any user of the Service to be able to use 911 Dialing or access emergency service personnel
2.11 Alternate 911 Arrangements.
If you are not comfortable with the limitations of the 911 Dialing service, you should consider having an alternate means of accessing traditional 911 or E911 services or terminating the Service.
3. SERVICE DISTINCTIONS
3.1 The Service is not a telecommunications service.
Important distinctions exist between telecommunications service and the Service offering that Seed Voice provides. The Service is subject to different regulatory treatment than telecommunications service. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before regulatory agencies.
3.2 No 0+ or Operator Assisted Calling; May Not Support x11 Calling.
The Service does not support 0+ or operator assisted calling (including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls or calling card calls). The Service may not support 311, 511 and/or other x11 (other than certain specified dialing such as 911 and 411, which are provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) services in one or more (or all) service areas.
3.3 No Directory Listing.
The phone numbers you obtain from us will not be listed in any telephone directories. Phone numbers transferred from your local phone company may, however, be listed. As a result, someone with your phone number may not be able to utilize a reverse directory to lookup your address.
3.4 Incompatibility With Other Services.
(a) Security Systems/Fire Alarm/Elevator/Postage.
The Service may not be compatible with security systems/fire alarms. You may be required to maintain a telephone connection through your local exchange carrier in order to use any alarm monitoring functions for any security system installed in your home or business. You are responsible for contacting the alarm monitoring company to test the compatibility of any alarm monitoring or security system with the Service.
(b) Certain Broadband and Cable Modem Services.
You acknowledge that the Service presently may not be compatible with some broadband services. You further acknowledge that some providers of broadband service may provide modems that prevent the transmission of communications using the Service. We do not warrant that the Service will be compatible with all broadband services and expressly disclaim any express or implied warranties regarding the compatibility of the Service with any particular broadband service.
3.5 Use of Service and Device by Customers Outside the United States.
Although we encourage you to use the Service to place calls to foreign countries from within the United States and Canada, we do not presently offer or support the Service in any countries other than the United States and Canada. If you use the Service or the Device outside of the United States or Canada, you will be solely responsible for any violations of local laws and regulations resulting from such use. We reserve the right to terminate your Service immediately if we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that you have used the Service or the Device outside of the United States or Canada.
3.6 Service Level Commitment.
Seed Voice Services are provided on a best-effort basis.
In general our upstream provider maintains a greater than 99% uptime service level. Uptime is not guaranteed by Seed Voice, and as such failure to meet any amount of uptime in any given month is considered part of normal operations. Subscribers will not be credited for any service outages that are directly or indirectly caused by Seed Voice, or Seed Voice’s upstrem provider(s). Seed Voice is under no obligation to deliver uninterrupted service. Seed Voice will make every effort to restore interrupted services, but no guarantee of specific service level is made. Any implied service level or assumed uptime is always on a best-effort basis. Service will be impacted by maintenance events. All scheduled maintenance will be performed After Hours. Further, interruptions or interference with your use resulting from causes outside of Seed Voice’s control do not qualify for a credit, including but not limited to: Internet provider outages, customer/ISP network packet loss, or customer owned equipment failures or non-compatibility (ex. switches, router, non-supported firewall) and other issues set forth in Section 11.1 which are not caused by Seed Voice.
4. TERM AND TERMINATION
4.1 Term.
Service is offered on a term basis identified in your service activation form, activation agreement, quotation, order form, or via our online ordering process. Your Initial Term shall begin on the Activation Date and end at 11:59 p.m. on the day before the anniversary date of your Term, subject to auto-renewal (See Section 4.2). For example, if you have an Initial Term of two-years that is activated on August 1st, it will end on July 31st two years after the Activation Date of August 1st. Subsequent terms of this Agreement automatically renew for a duration that is the same as your Initial Term (each a “Renewal Term”) unless you give Seed Voice written notice of non-renewal in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 4.2 hereinbelow. The Initial Term and each Renewal Term are together, the “Term.” (a) Termination of Existing Contracts. It is your responsibility to terminate any existing contracts with your current carrier and/ or service provider. Seed Voice is not responsible for terminating any existing contracts or any damages associated with your failure to do so.
4.2 Auto-Renewal.
(a) Auto-Renewal Where Term is Greater Than Thirty Days.
At the end of your Initial Term and each Renewal Term, your Service will automatically renew for a renewal term of a duration that is the same as your Initial Term (each a “Renewal Term”) unless you send to Seed Voice by USPS certified mail or via an e-mail directed to info@Seed Voice.com written notification of your desire to terminate Service at the end of the then-applicable Initial Term or Renewal Term (“Termination Notice”). The Termination Notice must be received at least sixty (60) days before the expiration of the then applicable Initial Term or Renewal Term or the agreement shall automatically renew. The Termination Notice is valid only if it includes your Seed Voice phone number, Customer name, date you wish the Service to be terminated and is submitted in accordance with this section.
(b) Auto-Renewal Where Term is Month-to-Month.
If your Service is based on a month-to-month term, your Service will continue month-to-month until you send to Seed Voice by USPS certified mail or via an e-mail directed to info@Seed Voice.com written notification of your desire to terminate Service (“Termination Notice”). The Termination Notice must be received at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the then-current month of the Term or you will be responsible for payment for the subsequent full month. The Termination Notice is valid only if it includes your Seed Voice phone number, Customer name, date you wish the Service to be terminated and is submitted in accordance with this section.
(c) Notice to Terminate by Seed Voice.
If Seed Voice does not desire that a Term extend through auto-renewal, Seed Voice shall give you a Termination Notice in the same manner and time frame as required of you, the effect of which shall be termination of Service at the end of the then-applicable Term.
4.3 Termination; Effect of Termination of Service; Payment for Full Term.
(a) Termination by You Prior to End of Term.
Termination of Service will not excuse you from paying all accrued and unpaid charges due for Service rendered to the effective date of termination. Further, if you desire to terminate Service prior to the end of the then-applicable Term, you shall be responsible for payment of all charges for the remainder of the then-applicable Term and must return any leased Equipment immediately. These charges will include, without limitation, unbilled charges for the balance of the Term, plus an early termination fee, determined at Seed Voice’s sole discretion, up to a maximum amount of 6 times the monthly total billing amount, all of which will become immediately due and payable upon termination of your Service and must be paid within ten (10) days thereafter. Thus, for example, if you are one year into a two year term and desire to terminate Service before the end of the two year term, you will still be responsible for payment of all Service fees for the remainder of the two year term, and all such charges will be due and payable within ten (10) days of the effective date of termination.
(b) Termination by Seed Voice Prior to End of Term for Cause.
In Seed Voice’s sole and absolute discretion, Seed Voice has the right hereunder to terminate Service and use of the Equipment prior to the end of the Term for Cause. “Cause” means:
1. Your breach of these Terms of Service or terms set forth in any other agreement by and between you and Seed Voice. Except for breaches that cannot be cured, are violations of law, are Prohibited Acts set forth in Section 4 hereinbelow, or which involve tampering in violation of Section 6.2, Seed Voice shall give you written notice and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure before exercising its right to terminate for Cause.
2. Where use of the Service by Customer is prohibited by law or is disruptive to, adversely impacts or causes a malfunction to the Service, Seed Voice’s servers or other equipment, or the use and enjoyment of other users; or
3. Where Seed Voice receives an order from a court of competent jurisdiction to terminate Customer’s Service.
In the event of Termination for Cause, you shall be responsible for payment of all charges for the remainder of the then-applicable Term and must return all Equipment. These charges will include, without limitation, unbilled charges for the balance of the Term, plus a termination fee, if applicable, all of which will become immediately due and payable upon termination of your Service and must be paid within ten (10) days thereafter. Thus, for example, if you are one year into a two year term and desire to terminate Service before the end of the two year term, you will still be responsible for payment of all Service fees for the remainder of the term and they will be due and payable within ten (10) days of the effective date of termination. Nothing herein shall preclude Seed Voice from also pursuing claims for damages or for injunctive relief.
(c) Number Transfer on Service Termination.
Upon the termination of your Service, Seed Voice may, in our sole and absolute discretion, release to your new service provider the telephone number that you ported (transferred or moved over) to us from your previous service provider and used in connection with your Service if:
1. such new service provider is able to accept such number;
2. your account has been terminated by you in accordance with these Terms of Service, or by Seed Voice for reasons other than for Cause under Section 3.3(b);
3. your account is completely current, including payment for all charges and applicable termination fees; and

There will be no refund unless a suitable replacement cannot be provided.
7.6 Warranty on Purchased Phones.

The rented Equipment is under warranty throughout the Term, and term renewals, so long as Customer has timely paid invoices. The warranty covers defects in the Equipment, not your loss or damage thereto. If you elect to rent Equipment from Seed Voice, you will execute an Addendum to this Agreement, or the rental terms will appear in your Activation Agreement, Quotation or Purchase Order. Service plans that indicate a phone is included with the plan price are considered to have a phone rental included in the service.
(a) Rental Termination Fee (phones, etc).
If you have rented Equipment from Seed Voice and terminate this Agreement before the end of the then-applicable Term, you will be liable for an early termination fee of:
(a1) FULL MRSP PRICE for each PHONE/DEVICE returned to Seed Voice before HALF of the Term has transpired and
(a2) HALF MRSP PRICE for each PHONE/DEVICE returned to Seed Voice after HALF of the Term has transpired. You may also be charged a Restocking fee of $75.00 per Device for Devices returned prior to the end of the applicable Term.
(b) Return of Rented Equipment.
If you are renting or leasing (including $0 leasing) Equipment from Seed Voice, you are legally responsible for returning such Equipment, at your expense, in good working order and condition upon termination of Service.

8. BILLING; BILLING DISPUTES; PAYMENTS
8.1 Billing; Fees and Charges. When the Service is activated, you must provide us with a valid email address and Seed Voice will bill all charges, applicable taxes and surcharges monthly in advance (except for usage-based and applicable support charges, which will be billed monthly in arrears, and any other charges which we decide to bill in arrears) via electronic billing to your bank account (ACH/eCheck) or major credit/debit card or in a manner that is consistent with your service activation and/or order form, including but not limited to:
1. activation fees;
2. monthly Service fees;
3. international usage charges;
4. advanced feature charges;
5. equipment purchases;
6. termination fees; and
7. shipping and handling charges.
The amount of such fees and charges will be outlined in your Activation Agreement, Quotation or Purchase Order, or shall be published on our website and may change from time to time, but any price increase will not take effect for your account until the end of a Term and will only apply during a Renewal Term if notice of such price increase is provide to you sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-applicable Term. Notification of monthly invoices will be sent to you via your email address on file with us. Any usage charges will be billed in increments that are rounded up to the nearest minute except as otherwise set forth in the rate schedules found on our website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if new features are added which you utilize, Seed Voice can charge you for those enhancements to your Service resulting in an increase in the pricing set forth in your monthly invoices.
8.2 Taxes. You are responsible for all applicable federal, state, provincial, municipal, local or other governmental sales, use, excise, value-added, personal property, public utility or other taxes, fees or charges now in force or enacted in the future, that arise from or as a result of your subscription or use or payment for the Service or a Device. Such amounts are in addition to payment for the Service or Devices and will be billed to you in accordance with this Agreement. If you are exempt from payment of such taxes, you must provide us with an original certificate that satisfies applicable legal requirements attesting to tax-exempt status, and by making this submission to us, you are indemnifying Seed Voice for any liability associated with your representation should it be incorrect. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date we receive such certificate.
Seed Voice does not charge telecommunications related taxes or fees to our clients directly. Our upstream provider charges telecommunications taxes to Seed Voice, which is passed through to our clients. This is known in the industry as de minimis tax billing, which greatly simplifies telecom tax remittance. Seed Voice clients will see a Telecom Recovery Fee on their billing which represents this telecom tax passthrough. Any mention of telecommunications taxes or fees on any written communications from Seed Voice are informational only, and do not indicate tax collection by Seed Voice.
8.3 Billing Disputes.
You must notify us in writing within thirty (30) days after the invoice date if you dispute any Seed Voice charges or you will be deemed to have waived any right to contest such charges. All notices of disputed charges should be sent to:
Seed Voice, LLC
Attn:Billing Department
1600 N. Milwaukee Avenue
Suite 1010
Vernon Hills, IL 60061

8.4 Payments.
Seed Voice only accepts payment by credit, debit card and ACH, unless other payment terms have been explicitly agreed to in writing by Seed Voice. Your subscription to the Service authorizes Seed Voice to charge your credit, debit card and ACH. This authorization will remain valid until thirty (30) days after we receive written notice from you terminating our authority to charge your credit or debit card, whereupon we will charge your credit or debit card for the termination fee, if applicable, and any other outstanding charges (including charges for damaged or unreturned rented Equipment), and terminate your Service. We may terminate your Service at any time in our sole and absolute discretion if any charge to your credit or debit card is declined or reversed, your credit or debit card expires and you have not provided us with a valid replacement credit or debit card or in case of any other non-payment of account charges.

Seed Voice shall also have the right to suspend Service in the event that you are in breach of the other terms of this Agreement and either fail to cure the breach in a reasonable time after notice or refuse to cure the breach. You are responsible for paying all monthly fees while Service is suspended due to non-payment.
9. 30 DAY SATISFACTION GUARANTEE.
We are confident that you will find Seed Voice to be an ideal solution for your communication needs, but in the event you do not find it to be a good fit for you, you can upgrade, downgrade or cancel your activation within the first 30-days from the Activation Date by sending written notice to Info@Seed Voice.com within the 30-day period. If you downgrade or cancel, we will refund the applicable activation fee and monthly charge for the first month of Service. Before you make a decision, we hope you will reach out to share your issues and give us a chance to meet your needs as the problem may be unrelated to Seed Voice, such as Internet provider outages, customer/ISP network packet loss, or customer owned equipment failures or non-compatibility (ex. switches, router, non-supported firewall). These same problems will likely exist with any VoIP providers so let our trouble shooter experts assist you. If cancelling during the 30-day guarantee period, please email info@Seed Voice.com, return the Equipment to us (cost of shipping to be borne by you) and a refund will be issued, unless the Equipment is damaged or missing. Federal excise taxes and any other applicable taxes cannot be refunded. You will remain responsible for any charges for usage fees including but not limited to local or international usage, calls to Seed Voice toll free numbers and directory assistance. We reserve the right to terminate or revoke this money back guarantee at any time, without prior notice.
