G. Long Distance and/or National Directory Assistance Rate Per Call by State. Call rating is based on where the call originates and what area code was used when 1-NPA-555-1212 was dialed. If these two factors involve two different states, the interstate rate per call is $2.49. Intrastate rates are based on the same principle as Interstate. If the call originates in the same state as the area code dialed, the rate per call will be billed as an intrastate Directory Assistance call. It is important that Customer dials an in-state area code with 1-NPA-555-1212 to receive the intrastate rate. For an inquiry out-of-state, Customer may dial any valid area code. Once a caller hears the automated greeting (or the operator), Customer will be billed for the call, even if Customer hangs up before asking for the listing. Additionally, if the operator cannot find a listing or it is "unlisted/not available," Customer will be charged. If an incorrect listing was provided, Customer may call Customer Service to receive a credit for the call.
1. All Interstate Directory Assistance calls are billed at a rate of $2.49

G. Customer Data and Privacy. Customer (a) acknowledges that the Company, its affiliates and agents will, by virtue of the provision of Services, come into possession of information and data regarding Customer, its employees and authorized users of Customer. This information and data ("Customer Data") shall include, but not be limited to, data transmissions (including the originating and destination numbers and IP addresses, date, time and duration of voice or data transmissions, and other data necessary for the establishment, billing or maintenance of the transmission), data containing personal and/or private information of Customer, its employees or authorized users of the Services, and other data provided to or obtained by the Company, its affiliates and agents in connection with the provision of Services under this Agreement; (b) acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its affiliates and agents, may use, process and/or transfer Customer Data (including intra-group transfers and transfers to entities in countries that do not provide statutory protections for personal information): (i) in connection with provisioning of Services; (ii) to incorporate the Customer Data into databases controlled by the Company and its affiliates for the administration, provisioning, billing and reconciliation, verification of Customer identity and solvency, maintenance, support and product development, fraud detection and prevention, sales, revenue and customer analysis and reporting, and market and customer use analysis; and (ii) to communicate to Customer about products and services of the Company and its affiliates by voice, letter, fax, or E-mail. Customer may withdraw consent for such communications (or any use, transfer or processing of Customer Data except for that required to provision, administer, bill or account for the Services) by sending written notice to the Company; (c) warrants that it has obtained and will obtain all legally required consents and permissions from relevant parties (including subjects of Customer Data) for the use, processing and transfer of Customer Data as described in this Section.

Not withstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Companys obligation is to furnish the Service consisting of facilities and equipment that are exclusively of the Companys choosing. The Company may substitute facilities or equipment used to furnish the Service, substitute comparable service, or discontinue the Service, at any time.
I. PROVISION OF DSL LOCAL LOOP CONNECTIONS. DSL local loop connections between Customers location and the Company will be arranged by the Company, and are provided through a local exchange carrier. Customer authorizes the Company to act as its agent with respect to the ordering, installing, monitoring, testing, repairing, and performing all related activities regarding the local exchange carrier and the DSL local loop connection. Customer further authorizes the Company and its suppliers, including the local exchange carrier, to access Customers premises at mutually convenient times in order to install, monitor, test, repair, or perform related activities regarding the DSL local loop connection and other Service components. Customer agrees to pay for all charges of the Company and/or third-parties, including, but not limited to local service providers, associated with installing DSL access to Customers location, including, but not limited to inside wiring charges, line conditioning charges and construction charges.
J. CONDITIONS OF PROVIDING EMERGENCY 911 SERVICE. Customer is responsible for complying with all applicable emergency calling service laws. The ability to access an appropriate PSAP with the Service depends on the type, configuration and location of the phone used. Customer has the option of using three different types of phones (a) a SIP phone provisioned and used in a fixed, identified location (a Fixed SIP phone), (b) a SIP phone provisioned as Mobile i.e., subject to being used in more than one location, and (c) a traditional non-SIP phone provisioned and used in a fixed, identified location. In all cases, the Service cannot support the delivery of the callers station level phone number and specific station location. Furthermore, much like access to Emergency 911 Service via traditional PSTN local service, access to a PSAP will be unavailable if Customers access circuits or local gateway fails. Customer will notify all end-users of the Service that 911 access to an appropriate PSAP is not available using a Mobile SIP phone and that 911 access to a PSAP is limited as described in this Section when using a Fixed SIP phone or a traditional, non-SIP phone.
Mobile SIP Phones . Because the location of a Mobile SIP phone user cannot reliably be determined from its billing phone number[i] (which is how 911 calls ordinarily are routed to the appropriate local PSAP), 911 calls from a Mobile SIP phone cannot be routed to the appropriate PSAP. As a result, when 911 is dialed on a Mobile SIP phone, the call will be blocked.
Fixed SIP Phones . When 911 is dialed on a Fixed SIP phone, the call will be routed to the appropriate PSAP based on the billing telephone number assigned to the Fixed SIP phone. If moved to a new fixed location, a Fixed SIP phone may need to be reconfigured in order for a 911 call to be routed to the appropriate PSAP.
Traditional Non-SIP Phones (Standard Phones) . When 911 is dialed on a traditional, non-SIP (i.e., standard) phone used with the Service, the call will be routed to the appropriate PSAP based on the billing telephone number assigned to the phone.
K. DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN DAMAGES WITH RESPECT TO EMERGENCY 911 SERVICE
1. 911 SERVICE IS OFFERED SOLELY AS AN AID IN CONTACTING AN APPROPRIATE PSAP IN CONNECTION WITH FIRE, POLICE AND OTHER EMERGENCIES. THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSBLE FOR ANY LOSSES, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, SUITS OR ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, WHETHER SUFFERED, MADE, INSTITUTED OR ASSERTED BY CUSTOMER OR BY ANY OTHER PARTY OR PERSON FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY TO OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON OR PERSONS, AND FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF ANY PROPERTY, WHETHER OWNED BY CUSTOMER OR OTHERS, CAUSED OR CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY: (1) MISTAKES, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, DELAYS, ERRORS OR OTHER DEFECTS IN THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY 911 SERVICE, OR (2) INSTALLATION, OPERATION, FAILURE TO OPERATE, MAINTENANCE, REMOVAL, PRESENCE, CONDITION, LOCATION OR USE OF ANY EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES FURNISHING THIS SERVICE.
2. THE COMPANY ALSO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT OR INVASION OF THE RIGHT OF PRIVACY OF ANY PERSON OR PERSONS, CAUSED OR CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BY THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, FAILURE TO OPERATE, MAINTENANCE, REMOVAL, PRESENCE, CONDITION, OCCASION OR USE OF EMERGENCY 911 SERVICE AND THE EQUIPMENT ASSOCIATED THEREWITH, OR BY ANY SERVICES FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE TELEPHONE NUMBER, ADDRESS OR NAME ASSOCIATED WITH THE PHONE USED BY THE PARTY OR PARTIES ACCESSING EMERGENCY 911 SERVICE, AND WHICH ARISE OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER WRONGFUL ACTS OF THE COMPANY, CUSTOMER, ITS USERS, AGENCIES OR MUNICIPALITIES, OR THE EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OF ANY ONE OF THEM.
1 Customers monthly recurring charge does not include the following charges related to Transport Service(s): (a) After hours installation fee of $500 for installation requested outside the hours of 8AM and 8PM ET Monday through Friday (excluding holidays); (b) $99 fee for missed installation appointments when a technician is dispatched and cannot complete an installation because Customer: (i) does not make the appointment; (ii) requests rescheduling or cancels upon arrival; or (iii) has not arranged for access to the telephone box or Network Interface Device (NID) and it is inaccessible -- to avoid the missed appointment fee, Customer must reschedule at least 2 business days before the scheduled appointment time; (c) Relocation of a DSL local loop connection to another qualified Customer location will result in a retermination fee of $500 and an additional installation process; and (d) any applicable network application fees.
[i] As used in herein, the term billing telephone number means the 10 digit North American Numbering Plan number assigned to one or more phones at a Customer location.
