DISCLOSURE CONCERNING IP-ENABLED 9-1-1 SERVICES

1. Definitions. For the purposes of this Disclosure, the following capitalized terms are defined as follows:“Dispatchable Location” means the Service Address and additional data that would permit a PSAP and emergency responders to locate a 9-1-1 caller in a reasonable amount of time. The Dispatchable Location may be the same as or different from the Service Address.

   “E911 Service” means emergency calling by which a 9-1-1 call is routed to the PSAP assigned to the Service Address and information regarding the Dispatchable Location is provided to the PSAP.

   “IP Services” means communications services using internet protocol (IP) in their delivery, including session initiation protocol (SIP), voice over internet protocol (VoIP), hosted IP voice or similar IP-based technologies or applications.

   “MLTS” means a multi-line telephone system.

   “NG911 Service” means E911 Service initiated and/or completed using IP Services. Depending on the capability of the IP Services and PSAP, NG911 may include not only voice but also multimedia data and geospatial location information.

   “PSAP” means a public safety answering point for emergency 9-1-1 calls.

   “Service Address” means the physical address provided by the Subscriber and assigned to or associated with a telephone number provided by connectSCP.

2. Disclosure. NG911 Service works differently than traditional wireline and wireless E911 Service. These differences depend on the services, equipment and devices used to make the emergency call and on the location of the user making the call. Subscribers with NG911 Services are responsible for informing employees, guests, and other persons who may be present at the Service Address of the important differences and limitations of NG911 Service as compared to traditional wireline or wireless E911 Service. If a Subscriber is uncomfortable with any of the terms, conditions, or limitations of NG911 Service described in this Disclosure, the Subscriber may wish to consider also maintaining an emergency landline at the Service Address.
3. Dispatchable Locations for Emergency Calling. connectSCP will obtain from all Subscribers a registered Service Address for all IP Services and/or equipment, including the Dispatchable Location where equipment will be installed, and service will be used. For any services utilizing an MLTS environment, the Subscriber may be required to provide multiple Dispatchable Locations. Complete and accurate Service Address and Dispatchable Location information is essential for emergency responders to locate any users dialing 9-1-1 from a device at the location. connectSCP will not provide IP Services to a Subscriber on an active telephone number and will not activate a telephone number that is intended to have NG911 Service, unless and until a Service Address, Dispatchable Location and any other required information has been provided to connectSCP. The registered Service Address and Dispatchable Location will be associated with a telephone number, which will be used to determine the closest PSAP when 9-1-1 is dialed. Before a Subscriber changes the registered Service Address or Dispatchable Location associated with a telephone number or moves any service, equipment or device, it is important to contact connectSCP, so that connectSCP can confirm that the registered Service Address and Dispatchable Location are properly updated. The Subscriber is solely responsible for providing connectSCP with complete and accurate Service Address and Dispatchable Location information for each telephone number and for keeping such information updated.
4. Functional Limitations of IP Services. IP Services, including NG911 Service, are subject to the following disclaimers and limitations:
   1. NG911 Service will not operate in the event of a power failure or disruption. Should there be an interruption in power, IP Services (including NG911 Service) will not function until power is restored. Please note, Subscriber premises equipment or devices may need to be reset. Subscribers may contact connectSCP for information and options concerning battery or other back-up power.
   2. NG911 Service will not operate if a broadband connection is disrupted. Service outages, interruptions or degradation of broadband service, or termination or suspension of service for any reason, will prevent use of IP Services, including NG911 Service.
   3. Failure to provide an accurate Service Address or Dispatchable Location for a telephone number may result in 911 calls being routed to the incorrect local PSAP and/or emergency responders being dispatched to the incorrect location. NG911 Service may not function, or calls may be routed to emergency responder who will not be able to assist if service, equipment or a device is moved to a different street address or location other than the registered Service Address and Dispatchable Location. It may take several days for any change in a registered Service Address or Dispatchable Location to be processed. The Subscriber must notify connectSCP in advance of any changes to a registered Service Address or Dispatchable Location.
   4. Calls made using IP Services may be delayed or dropped due to the technical constraints of IP Services and underlying network architecture. Because of differences in technology, the impacts of network congestion, and/or reduced speed in the routing of emergency calls made utilizing NG911 Services are different than if the calls were made using traditional (non-IP) public switched telephone networks. If a 9-1-1 call cannot be completed, is dropped or disconnected for any reason, the PSAP and emergency responders may not be able to identify a phone number in order to call back. connectSCP relies on third party carriers for assistance in routing NG911 calls to local PSAPs or a national emergency calling center. connectSCP disclaims all responsibility and assumes no liability for the conduct of local PSAPs and the national emergency calling center and any third party carriers or service providers.
5. Limitations on Liability. connectSCP is not responsible for any service outages related to the loss of electrical power, connectivity, suspension, or termination of broadband Internet services, failure of third party IP technologies or applications, or other circumstances beyond Company’s reasonable control, including any failures resulting from events such as, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of nature, strikes, fire, war, riot, acts of terrorism and government actions. Except as otherwise required by applicable laws or regulations, connectSCP is not responsible for and shall have no liability relating to the performance of NG911 Service provisioned by any other telecommunications carrier or IP services provider, even if such service is accessed using the equipment or underlying IP Services provided by connectSCP.
6. Indemnification. In addition to any other indemnification obligations under applicable service contracts or terms of service (but without any duplication of recovery), the Subscriber shall indemnify and hold connectSCP harmless against any and all damages, claims and expenses resulting from the Subscriber’s failure to comply with any of the Subscriber’s requirements or responsibilities described herein, including without limitation: (a) failing to provide a Service Address, Dispatchable Location or other required information; (b) providing an incomplete or inaccurate Service Address, Dispatchable Location or other required information; (c) failing to promptly update a Service Address or Dispatchable Location information in the event such address, location or information has changed or (d) the use of any service, equipment or devices at a location other than the Service Address and Dispatchable Location.

Backup Power for Home Phone Services during Power Outages

For many years, your home phone would allow you to stay connected to emergency voice services during a power outage. However, many of today’s advanced home phone services require backup battery power to continue functioning during an electric outage. To avoid a disruption of home voice service during an outage –and to maintain the ability to connect to 911 emergency services - we at connectSCP offer you the option of purchasing backup power for your home phones. connectSCP offers two backup power options: (1) a standby battery with a minimum of eight (8) hours of backup standby power, and (2) a standby backup power battery with a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours of standby backup power.

What Your Battery Can – and Can’t – Do for You

connectSCP’s backup eight (8) or twenty-four (24) hour batteries for telephone modems allow you to continue to use your home voice services during a power outage. Without a backup battery or alternate backup power source such as a generator, members will not be able to make any calls, including emergency calls to 911. The only way to maintain the ability to use your phone is by using some form of backup power. Our backup batteries do not provide power to any services other than voice. Home security systems, medical monitoring devices, and other equipment will not run on a home phone backup battery.

Purchase and Replacement Options

If you are concerned about being able to contact 911 emergency services during a power outage, a backup battery may be a good option for you. The batteries offered by connectSCP are approximately one pound (1lbs.) and roughly the size of a milk carton.

If the company provides the backup batteries

You can purchase a backup battery directly through connectSCP. If you have any questions or simply want to purchase a backup battery through us, please call (800) 282-5064 or visit our website. Our 8-hour backup batteries cost approximately $125 and our 24-hour back up batteries cost approximately $250. Both options can be shipped directly to your house or can be picked up in one of our retail locations. If you do not feel comfortable installing your own battery (instructions are provided), please call us to make an appointment and we would be happy to assist you. However, please note that there may be a charge for the installation service.

If a third party provides the backup batteries

You can also purchase a backup battery through local retailers or on-line, including from the vendor identified below. Be sure to purchase the battery model that matches the type of modem that you have. Please contact connectSCP at (800) 282-5064 for this information.

Expected Backup Power Duration

Backup batteries are expected to last at least 8 hours or 24 hours on standby power, depending which option you choose. The 8-hour backup battery should give you [6 hours] of talk time, whereas a 24-hour battery backup will provide 18 hours of talk time. If you feel that is not enough time, you may extend your standby power by purchasing additional 8 or 24 hour batteries.

Instructions for Proper Care and Use of Your Battery

Please follow the more detailed instructions included with your battery for proper use, storage and care of your battery to ensure that it will function as needed during a power outage. If you do not store your battery correctly, it may shorten its useful life. Environmental factors such as temperature can shorten your battery’s useful life. We recommend that you store your battery above 14°F and below 120°F.

These batteries are not rechargeable. They will not last forever and should be replaced every 10 to 15 years, or when your device starts to make a loud beeping sound. That sound means that the battery is depleted, and must be replaced. See the instructions above for purchase and replacement options.

You should also periodically remove and test your battery, as described in the instructions included with your battery, to verify both the operation of the backup battery and its condition.

If you have any further questions about backup batteries, contact us.
