The foregoing will not be deemed to limit any disclaimer or limitation of warranty set forth in the documentation provided with the device.

1.5 Trouble Dispatch Call

If a dispatch to the customer’s site is authorized by the customer to investigate and repair a problem, and in the end, the problem is NOT found to be with the Hosted Service or with any equipment provided by Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. which is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, there will be a charge to the customer as follows for the Trouble Dispatch Call.

SECTION 3 – EMERGENCY SERVICES – 911 DIALING

3.1 Non-Availability of Traditional 911 or E911 Dialing Service

The 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 Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. certified Devices or Equipment. The 911 Dialing feature may not work at all when used in conjunction with a Softphone, Virtual Numbers or Subscriber provided Customer Premise Equipment. Our 911 Dialing feature is not automatic and must be separately registered for each address where you will use the Services in order to activate the 911 Dialing feature. Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. will properly register and program all phone numbers and phone installation locations for proper “911 dialing” at the time of installation or when additional phones or lines are added. This must be done for each Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. phone number that you obtain. The 911 Dialing feature of the Service is different in a number of important ways from traditional 911 or E911 service as herein. It is the customer’s sole responsibility to perform testing and audits on the phone to location information.

3.2 Registration of Physical Location Required

Each phone number that you use for the Service, must be registered with Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. associating it with the physical location where you will be using the Service with that phone number. If you move the Device to another location, it MUST be re-registered to be associated with the NEW ADDRESS. If it is not properly reregistered to the new location, any call you make using the 911 Dialing feature may be sent to an emergency center near your old address. 

3.3 Non Location Registration

Any calls that were sent to the Emergency Answering Service that do not have the location information set up in the user portal will receive a $150 or current rate charge to the account.  This fee is passed through to the end user from the Emergency Answering Service.

3.4 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 may not have your address or 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.

3.5 Service Outages

  • Service Outages Due to Power Failure or Disruption. 911 Dialing may not function in the event of a power failure or service disruption. If there is an interruption in the power supply, the Service, including 911 Dialing, will not function until power is restored. Following a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or reconfigure the Device prior to utilizing the Service, including 911 Dialing.
  • 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 Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.
  • Service Outage Due to Suspension or Termination of Your Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. account. Service outages due to suspension or termination of your account will prevent all Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.
  • Service Outages Due to ISP or Broadband Provider Blocking of Ports or Other Acts. Customer’s 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 Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. 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, that 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 terminate the Service in accordance with this Agreement.
  • 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.

3.6 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.

3.7 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.

3.8 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.

3.9 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.

3.10 Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification

Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. does 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 Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. nor its officers or employees 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 Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc., 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) 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. 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.

3.10 End-Of-Life Products

Once a product is declared “End-Of-Life” by the manufacturer, the ability to obtain (new, used or reconditioned) replacement parts and technical support becomes more difficult. Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. and affiliates shall only be required to apply their best-efforts to obtain replacements for failed components and/or to obtain any required technical support for end-of-life products in order to comply with this agreement.

3.11 Transferring of 911 Calls

Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. service provides the ability to send the call details to the emergency answering service.  When a call is transferred to 911, the call information of the original caller is NOT passed on.  It is strongly suggested that customers advise staff that you instruct a caller that requires an emergency response to hang up and call 911 directly so the emergency answering service will get the proper location information.  If a call IS transferred to 911, Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. will pass on the $150 or current fee that Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. is charged for the unregistered location call.

You can decide to bring in and use, at your own expense, a separate backup Internet Service Provider to provide you with backup Internet service should your primary Internet provider ever go “down.” Most Network Service Gateways provide for “automatic failover and revert” should your primary ISP go “down.” Any work we may perform programming and setting this up will be billable to Customer at current rates.

  • The “point of demarcation” for the telephone lines or Internet (demarc) must be located within the purchaser’s premises and also within 6 feet of the telephone system location or Ethernet network hub or switch. All cable proposed is minimum CAT5e (non-plenum). All cable runs are estimated to be100 feet maximum length (and 1 hour of labor) and any substantial additional cable or labor will be billable to Customer at standard rates. All existing cabling to be reused must be minimum CAT5e (non-plenum).It is assumed that ceilings are of the “hung or suspended” type; less than 12 feet high and it is not necessary to use a lift device for ceiling access nor are there any unusual or difficult obstacles or impediments. All cable runs are indoors and within the same structure. Walls are plasterboard with wood or metal studs. While every effort shall be taken to avoid incidental damage to walls and ceilings, some holes or other damage may be unavoidable. The customer/owner/occupant is responsible for the cost of any such repairs. Where outdoor cabling utilizing utility poles is specified, the customer/owner/occupant is responsible for obtaining permission for the use of such poles and for the cost of any required permits.
  • Neither Union Labor nor Union Labor Rates nor “Prevailing Rate” wage levels are required. If such labor or rates are required, an additional charge will apply.

  • There are no required building or construction permits or special licenses. Customer agrees to pay, in addition to the Proposal or Contract amount, for any such permits “at cost.”
  • Satisfactory operation of portable or cordless telephones or other equipment utilizing radio waves depends upon specific site conditions. These conditions were not measured, nor are problems anticipated because the equipment we provide operates in most environments and under most conditions. We will make a good faith effort to make adjustments (without additional cable runs) to achieve satisfactory operation. 
  • Our pricing is based upon the work proceeding from start to finish without undue interruption. When the customer (or unavoidable job conditions outside of the control of Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc.) requires that the job be interrupted due to construction scheduling, permits or for any other reason, there will be an additional charge of $175.00 for each such interruption.

These charges are for the cost of inventory, rescheduling, redeployment and loss of continuity.
  • Where the porting of telephone numbers is postponed by the Customer and such porting delay results in penalty charges to Red Mountain Voice & Data, Inc. from the carrier, such penalty charges will be the financial responsibility of the Customer at cost.
  • The Customer must provide the necessary programming information to us as scheduled, permitting us to program your new system in time to have it ready for your cutover date. If the information is not received, the cutover date may have to be postponed.
  • Any required removal of abandoned cable is to be provided by others and is not included in our prices unless specifically detailed as included on the face of a Proposal or Contract.
