Customer agrees to pay for the Services, by credit card, paypal, or by check sent to the address provided for herein or on the invoice or by wire transfer sent in accordance with applicable instructions provided by DIDForSale, within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice (“Payment Period”).

Monthly recurring charges are billed in advance while usage and related charges are billed in arrears. The Parties shall provide one another with reasonably requested information for bill validation including, but not limited to, the number of Circuits and charges for each Service.
3.2 Except for amounts in dispute, interest not to exceed 1.5% monthly may be charged on the unpaid balance not paid within the Payment Period. If the interest rate set out above exceeds the maximum rate allowable by law, then the interest chargeable shall be equal to the maximum rate allowed by law. Customer agrees to reimburse DIDForSale for any costs incurred as a result of any collection activity, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, unless otherwise prohibited by law. Customer authorizes DIDForSale to request information from a reporting agency to enable DIDForSale to assess Customer’s credit history. Customer agrees that such action is not the extension of “credit” to Customer and further agrees that DIDForSale, in its sole discretion, may alter any billing arrangements as a result of such report or upon determination of a change in Customer’s financial circumstances. Customer agrees that as a condition of initial or continued Service, it must provide financial statements to DIDForSale’s Credit Department within ten (10) days of receiving a request for such statements from DIDForSale or Service, if already installed, may be suspended or terminated, At any time during and upon two (2) business days written notice, DIDForSale may require Customer to wire transfer a deposit or submit another form of security acceptable to DIDForSale if it reasonably deems itself insecure with respect to Customer’s ability to pay (e.g. if Customer has failed to pay any invoice when due, or if there is a material change in circumstances of Customer’s actual or anticipated usage hereunder or Customer’s financial condition). Failure by Customer to comply with such requirement by DIDForSale may result in Service suspension or termination.
3.3 If Customer disputes any invoice, Customer shall notify DIDForSale’s Credit Department in writing, providing the billing identification, Circuit number, any trouble ticket number and an explanation for the dispute, and shall nevertheless pay the affected invoice within the Payment Period, provided that Customer may withhold payment of the amount in good faith dispute up to twenty percent (20%) of the invoiced charges. DIDForSale will investigate the dispute and in its discretion exercised in good faith, may require additional supporting documentation or reject Customer’s claim as inadequate. No charges may be disputed more than sixty (60) days after the date such charges are invoiced, and if not disputed within that time, all such charges shall be deemed valid and undisputed by Customer. Payment shall not prejudice Customer’s right to dispute charges, so long as they are disputed in good faith in the manner and within the timeframes specified in this Section. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to resolve any such disputes within a thirty (30) day period after the dispute is submitted to DIDForSale. If the dispute is not resolved during this period, then either Party may seek resolution of the dispute in accordance with Article 13.
3.4 If a disputed amount is determined by DIDForSale to be a legitimate charge, interest not to exceed 1.5% monthly may be charged on the balance not paid within the original Payment Period and Customer will make payment of the amount due within five (5) business days of such determination. If the interest rate set out above exceeds the maximum rate allowable by law, then the interest chargeable shall be equal to the maximum rate allowed by law.
3.5 If Customer does not make payment of all invoiced charges in accordance with the provisions herein within the Payment Period, DIDForSale may, at its option and without notice (i) refuse to accept additional Service Orders; (ii) suspend any and all Service provided by DIDForSale under this Agreement and/or any other service agreement until Customer has paid all past due amounts (including interest); (iii) offset such unpaid balances from any amounts that DIDForSale owes to Customer under any other agreement between the parties; and/or (iv) require weekly payments or a surety of up to two (2) times Customer’s aggregrate monthly invoicing and failure by Customer to comply with such requirement by DIDForSale may result in Service suspension. Following suspension of Services for non payment, DIDForSale is not required to reinstate Services to Customer until: (1) Customer has paid in full all charges then due, including any late fees, interest charges, collection costs and any cost of reinstating Services; and (2) Customer provides to DIDForSale satisfactory assurance as requested by DIDForSale (such as a deposit) of Customer’s ability to pay for Services for the remainder of the applicable Service term(s). If Customer fails to timely cure the non payment within the timeframe specified by DIDForSale, Customer will be deemed to have terminated the affected Services as of the effective date of Service suspension, Termination hereunder for non payment shall be treated as termination for convenience by Customer subject to early termination charges as set out in the applicable Exhibit. If Customer has not paid an invoice within the Payment Period and DIDForSale owes any amounts to Customer, DIDForSale may offset respective payments by first applying such amounts owed by DIDForSale to the full balance due from Customer and the remaining amounts owed by DIDForSale, if any, will be remitted in the normal course of business.
3.6 When Service is initiated on a day other than the first day of the month or terminates on a day other than the last day of the month, any monthly recurring charges for that month shall be prorated accordingly.
3.7 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if DIDForSale is required to construct and/or acquire telecommunications facilities in order to provide Service to Customer, Customer acknowledges and agrees that DIDForSale therefore incurs significant costs and expenses in provisioning such Service to Customer, including but not limited to costs associated with constructing and/or acquiring the telecommunications facilities necessary for delivery of DIDForSale Services to Customer. In addition to any other rights and remedies DIDForSale may have at law, in equity or as provided herein, Customer agrees that if Customer cancels this Agreement or any individual Service Order after signature but prior to the Start Of Service Date, or if Customer terminates this Agreement or any individual Service Order prior to expiration of the committed Service term, Customer shall reimburse DIDForSale for all costs and expenses DIDForSale incurred in constructing and/or acquiring such telecommunications facilities.

ARTICLE 9 . EMERGENCY CALLING SERVICE (911 Service)
9.1. Emergency calling service (911 service) is available with 2-way SIP Trunking products and only one the numbers purchased from DIDForSale.
DIDforSale 911 Dialing is different than traditional 911 service.
Most of our customers (other than customers of our WiFi, Softphone and other nomadic products) have access to either basic 911 or Enhanced 911 (E911) service. With E911 service, when you dial 911, your telephone number and registered address is simultaneously sent to the local emergency center assigned to your location, and emergency operators have access to the information they need to send help and call you back if necessary. Customers in locations where the emergency center is not equipped to receive your telephone number and address have basic 911. With basic 911, the local emergency operator answering the call will not have your call back number or your exact location, so you must be prepared to give them this information. Until you give the operator your phone number, he/she may not be able to call you back or dispatch help if the call is not completed or is not forwarded, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak. As additional local emergency centers become capable of receiving our customers’ information, DIDforSale will automatically upgrade customers with basic 911 to E911 service. DIDforSale will not give you notice of the upgrade.
Certain customers do not have access to either basic 911 or E911. If you don’t have access to basic 911 or E911 your 911 call will be sent to our 911 Service provider’s national emergency call center (national emergency call center). A trained agent at the emergency call center will ask for the name, telephone number and location of the customer calling 911, and then contact the local emergency center for such customer in order to send help. Examples of situations where 911 calls will be sent to the national emergency call center include when there is a problem validating a customer’s address, the customer is identified with an international location, or the customer is located in an area that is not covered by the landline 911 network. In addition, if you use a nomadic product via WiFi or Softphone, due to the portable nature of these Devices, your 911 calls will be routed to the national emergency call center. Emergency personnel do not receive your phone number or physical location when your 911 call is routed to the national emergency call center.
You authorize us to disclose your name and address to third-parties involved with providing 911 Dialing to you, including, without limitation, call routers, call centers and local emergency centers.
9.2 Notify All Users.
You should inform any household residents, guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize the Service of the important differences in and limitations of 911 Dialing as compared with basic 911 or E911.
9.3 Registration of Physical Location Required.
For each phone number that you use for the Service, you must register with DIDforSale the primary physical location where you will be using the 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 Service. Thereafter, you may register a new location by following the instructions from the ” Add 911 Service” link on your DIDforSale web account. For purposes of the 911 Dialing feature, you may only register one location at a time for each phone line you use with the Service.
9.4 Confirmation of Activation Required.
Your 911 Dialing feature will not be activated for any phone line that you are using with the Service, unless and until you receive an email from us confirming that the 911 Dialing feature has been activated for that phone line.
9.5 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 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.
(b) 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 Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.
(c) Service Outage Due to Disconnection of Your DIDforSale Account. Service outages due to disconnection of your account will prevent all 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 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 DIDforSale 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.
(e) 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.
9.6 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.
9.7 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.
9.8 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 any and 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 DIDforSale 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 DIDforSale, 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.
9.9 Alternate 911 Arrangements.
If you are not comfortable with the limitations of the 911 Dialing service, you acknowledge that it is your duty to secure alternate means of accessing traditional 911 or E911 services or disconnecting the Service. I have read and agree to the terms and conditions of the Customer Service Agreement.
You agree to pay all charges set forth above. DIDforSale will bill such charges to the credit card designated above according to subscription terms.
ARTICLE 10 . INDEMNIFICATION
10.1. Indemnity. YOU AGREE THAT WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CLAIM BY THIRD PARTIES AGAINST EITHER OF US ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE WEBSITE.

12.2 Customer represents and warrants that all traffic being delivered by Customer or its End Users or agents to DIDForSale for local termination, and all traffic that DIDForSale delivers to Customer or its End Users or agents that has originated in the same local calling area in which Customer’s NPA NXX is assigned and/or in which such traffic is terminated to Customer or its End Users or agents, is local traffic or is legally entitled to be treated as local traffic under all applicable federal, state and local laws, administrative and regulatory requirements and any other authorities having jurisdiction over such traffic. Customer understands that DIDForSale will rely upon such representation to assign local telephone numbers to Customer and/or route Customer’s traffic for termination as local calling. Customer represents and warrants that Customer has paid, or shall promptly pay to DIDForSale, all switched access and other charges associated with any of Customer’s traffic that is delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Customer also represents and warrants that neither it nor any of its end users or agents will remove or in any way alter Automatic Number Identification (“ANI”) or Calling Party Number (“CPN”) information associated with any traffic delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Customer agrees to cooperate with DIDForSale to obtain or verify any necessary regulatory certification or other information regarding the nature of its traffic and/or use of facilities.
12.3 Customer shall promptly pay to DIDForSale all access charges, reciprocal compensation, and/or any other charges, surcharges and/or taxes billed to DIDForSale by a third party, or remitted by DIDForSale to a third party, that are associated with any of Customer’s traffic delivered or facilities utilized pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to any retroactive charges, (collectively, “Additional Charges”) and that are not already reflected in the rates charged by DIDForSale for the Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Although DIDForSale shall not have any obligation to challenge any Additional Charges levied by a third party, if DIDForSale successfully challenges imposition of any Additional Charges by a third party, it will refund to Customer any Additional Charges previously paid by Customer to DIDForSale that were subject to such successful challenge. Within two (2) billing cycles of any such rate increase reflecting Additional Charges, Customer, upon giving written notice to DIDForSale, may elect to transition any Services affected by such rate increase to another carrier over a period of time not to exceed thirty (60) days. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, within the designated two (2) billing cycle period, Customer does not provide written notice to DIDForSale of its election to transition the affected Services to another carrier, Customer shall be deemed to have waived its right to such election. Even if Customer elects to transition the affected Services to another carrier, Customer shall still be responsible for paying any and all Additional Charges billed to or remitted by DIDForSale up to and including the final transition date. The parties agree to cooperate on the scheduling of any such transition.
12.4 Customer agrees that, if DIDForSale is subjected to a third party audit relating to Customer’s traffic or use of facilities which is the subject of this Agreement, Customer will cooperate and assist in any such audit.
