All Customer-Provided Equipment and wiring that Customer uses in connection with the Services must be fully compatible with the Services. Customer shall be responsible for the payment of all charges for troubleshooting, maintenance or repairs attempted or performed by Wired Media Solutions’ employees or authorized contractors when the difficulty or trouble report results from Customer-Provided Equipment.

ARTICLE 3. CHARGES, BILLING AND PAYMENT

3.1 Charges. Customer shall pay Wired Media Solutions one hundred percent (100%) of the Custom Installation Fee prior to the installation of Service. Customer further agrees to pay all charges associated with the Services, as set forth or referenced in the applicable Service Order(s) or invoiced by Wired Media Solutions. These charges may include, but are not limited to installation charges, monthly recurring service charges, usage charges including without limitation charges for the use of Wired Media Solutions Equipment, per-call charges, charges for service calls, maintenance and repair charges, and applicable federal, state, and local taxes, fees, surcharges and recoupments (however designated). Some Services such as measured and per-call charges, (as explained below in the Voice Additional Terms) may be invoiced after the Service has been provided to Customer. Except as otherwise indicated herein or on the applicable Service Order(s), monthly recurring charges for Internet Services shall not increase during the initial Service Term.

3.2 Third-Party Charges. Customer may incur charges from third party service providers that are separate and apart from the amounts charged by Wired Media Solutions. These may include, without limitation, charges resulting from accessing on-line services, calls to parties who charge for their telephone based services, purchasing or subscribing to other offerings via the Internet or interactive options on Public View Video, Video, or otherwise. Customer agrees that all such charges, including all applicable taxes, are Customer’s sole responsibility. In addition, Customer is solely responsible for protecting the security of credit card information provided to others in connection with such transactions.

3.3 Payment of Bills. Except as otherwise indicated herein or on the Service Order(s), Wired Media Solutions will invoice Customer in advance on a monthly basis for all monthly recurring Service charges and fees arising under the Agreement. All other charges will be billed monthly in arrears. Customer shall make payment to Wired Media Solutions for all invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. Any amounts not paid to Wired Media Solutions within such period will be considered past due. If a Service Commencement Date is not the first day of a billing period, Customer’s next monthly invoice shall include a pro-rated charge for the Services, from the date of installation to the first day of the new billing. In certain cases, Wired Media Solutions may agree to provide billing services on behalf of third parties, as the agent of the third party. Any such third-party charges shall be payable pursuant to any contract or other arrangement between Customer and the third party. Wired Media Solutions shall not be responsible for any dispute regarding these charges between Customer and such third party. Customer must address all such disputes directly with the third party.

3.4 Partial Payment. Partial payment of any bill will be applied to the Customer’s outstanding charges in the amounts and proportions as solely determined by Wired Media Solutions. No acceptance of partial payment(s) by Wired Media Solutions shall constitute a waiver of any rights to collect the full balance owed under the Agreement.

3.5 Payment by Credit Card. Upon Customer’s written request and Wired Media Solutions’ acceptance of such request, Wired Media Solutions will accept certain credit card payments for charges generated under the Agreement. By providing Wired Media Solutions with a credit card number, Customer authorizes Wired Media Solutions to charge the card for all charges generated under this Agreement, until (i) this Agreement is terminated or (ii) Customer provides sixty (60) days prior notice that Wired Media Solutions stop charging the credit card. Customer agrees to provide Wired Media Solutions with updated credit card or alternate payment information on a timely basis prior to the expiration or termination of the credit card on file or in the event that Customer’s credit card limit is or will be insufficient to cover payment. If Wired Media Solutions is unable to charge Customer's credit card for any reason, Customer agrees to pay all amounts due, including any late payment charges or bank charges, upon demand by Wired Media Solutions. Wired Media Solutions may limit the option to pay by credit card to specific Services or may discontinue acceptance of credit card payments in whole or in part upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer.

3.6 Credit Approval and Deposits. Initial and ongoing delivery of Services may be subject to credit approval. Customer shall provide Wired Media Solutions with credit information requested by Wired Media Solutions. Customer authorizes Wired Media Solutions to make inquiries and to receive information about Customer’s credit history from others and to enter this information in Customer’s records. Customer represents and warrants that all credit information that it provides to Wired Media Solutions will be true and correct. Wired Media Solutions, in its sole discretion, may deny the Services based upon an unsatisfactory credit history. Additionally, subject to applicable regulations, Wired Media Solutions may require Customer to make a deposit (in an amount not to exceed an estimated two-month's charge for the Services) as a condition to Wired Media Solutions’ provision of the Services, or as a condition to Wired Media Solutions’ continuation of the Services. The deposit will not, unless explicitly required by law, bear interest and shall be held by Wired Media Solutions as security for payment of Customer's charges. If the provision of Service to Customer is terminated, or if Wired Media Solutions determines in its sole discretion that such deposit is no longer necessary, then the amount of the deposit will be credited to Customer's account or will be refunded to Customer, as determined by Wired Media Solutions.

3.7 Taxes and Fees. Customer shall be responsible for the payment of any and all applicable local, state, and federal taxes or fees (however designated). Customer will be responsible to pay any Service fees, payment obligations and taxes that become applicable retroactively.

3.8 Other Government-Related Costs and Fees. Wired Media Solutions reserves the right to invoice Customer for any fees or payment obligations in connection with the Services imposed by governmental or quasi-governmental bodies in connection with the sale, installation, use, or provision of the Services, including, without limitation, applicable franchise fees (if any), regardless of whether Wired Media Solutions or its Affiliates pay the taxes directly or are required by an order, rule, or regulation of a taxing jurisdiction to collect them from Customer.. These obligations may include those imposed on Wired Media Solutions or its affiliates by an order, rule, or regulation of a regulatory body or a court of competent jurisdiction, as well as those that Wired Media Solutions or its affiliates are required to collect from the Customer or to pay to others in support of statutory or regulatory programs. For example, Voice customers are charged a monthly regulatory recovery fee to help defray Wired Media Solutions’ contributions to municipal, state, and federal programs including, without limitation, universal service, telecom relay services for the visually/hearing impaired, and 911/E911 programs and infrastructure. This regulatory recovery fee is not a tax, and it is not government-mandated. Taxes and other government-related fees and surcharges may be changed with or without notice,

3.9 Disputed Invoice. If Customer disputes any portion of an invoice, Customer must pay the undisputed portion of the invoice and submit a written claim, including all documentation substantiating Customer’s claim, to Wired Media Solutions for the disputed amount of the invoice by the invoice due date. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. However, should the parties fail to mutually resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days after the dispute was submitted to Wired Media Solutions, all disputed amounts shall become immediately due and payable to Wired Media Solutions.

3.10 Past-Due Amounts. Any undisputed payment not made when due will be subject to a reasonable late charge not to exceed the highest rate allowed by law on the unpaid invoice. If Customer’s account is delinquent, Wired Media Solutions may refer the account to a collection agency or attorney that may pursue collection of the past due amount and/or any Wired Media Solutions Equipment that Customer fails to return in accordance with the Agreement. If Wired Media Solutions is required to use a collection agency or attorney to collect any amount owed by Customer or any unreturned Wired Media Solutions Equipment, Customer agrees to pay all reasonable costs of collection or other action. The remedies set forth herein are in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies available to Wired Media Solutions under the Agreement or at law or in equity.

3.11 Rejected Payments. Except to the extent otherwise prohibited by law, Customer will be assessed a service charge up to the full amount permitted under applicable law for any check or other instrument used to pay for the Services that has been rejected by the bank or other financial institution.

3.12 Fraudulent Use of Services. Customer is responsible for all charges attributable to Customer with respect to the Services, even if incurred as the result of fraudulent or unauthorized use of the Services. Wired Media Solutions may, but is not obligated to, detect or report unauthorized or fraudulent use of Services to Customer. Wired Media Solutions reserves the right to restrict, suspend or discontinue providing any Service in the event of fraudulent use by Customer.

In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Article 9 and any provision of the privacy policy below, the applicable provision of the privacy policy shall prevail in the resolution of the conflict. A copy of Wired Media Solutions’ privacy policy is available at www.wiredms.com/tos (or any successor URL).

10.2 Use Policies. Customer agrees to ensure that all uses of the Wired Media Solutions Equipment and/or the Services installed at its premises (“use”) are legal and appropriate. Specifically, Customer agrees to ensure that all uses by Customer or by any other person (“user”), whether authorized by Customer or not, comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and written and electronic instructions for use.

The domain name registration service will invoice Customer directly for all applicable registration fees, maintenance fees, and other applicable fees related thereto. Customer hereby acknowledges that Customer is entirely responsible for the payment of any and all such fees. Wired Media Solutions does not represent that the Customer Domain Name will be available on an initial or ongoing basis.

Customer receives no right to Wired Media Solutions’ domain name other that as specifically stated in this Article 15. Upon the termination of the applicable Service Order, Customer shall surrender all rights, privileges and interest in and to the sub- domain name and Wired Media Solutions’ domain name.


------------------------------------------------------------

ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO VOICE SERVICES AND HOSPITALITY VOICE SERVICES

In addition to provisions 1 THROUGH 13 above, the following Articles 16 through 20 are specifically applicable to Voice Services.

ARTICLE 16: USAGE BILLING

16.1 Voice Service calling plans billed as a flat monthly fee may not include certain call types. These excluded call types will instead be charged on a per-call basis (e.g., operator services) or a measured basis (e.g., international calls). Generally, for billing purposes, a measured call begins when the call is answered by the called party or an automated answering device (such as an answering machine or fax machine); it ends when one of the parties disconnects the call.

16.2 Except as otherwise provided in these General Terms and Conditions, Voice Service measured calls are recorded in whole minutes, with partial minutes rounded up to the next whole minute. If the computed charge for a measured call or for taxes or surcharges includes a fraction of a cent, the fraction is rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

16.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, some providers (e.g., those involved in calls to foreign countries) charge for a completed call when the called party’s line rings or after a certain number of rings. If such a provider charges Wired Media Solutions or its Associated Parties, as if such a call were answered by the called party, Wired Media Solutions will charge Customer for a completed call. Voice Service, including Hospitality Voice Service, pricing lists and fees can be found at www.wiredms.com/tos.


ARTICLE 17: USE POLICY

17.1 Additional Use Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in the General Terms and Conditions, Voice Service may only be used at Service Location(s) where such service is installed by Wired Media Solutions. Customer understands and acknowledges that if Customer attempts to install or use the Wired Media Solutions Equipment or Voice Service at another location, Voice Service, including but not limited to 911/E911, may fail to function or may function improperly. It will be considered a material violation of this Agreement if Customer moves Voice Service to another location without first notifying Wired Media Solutions. Customer expressly agrees not to use Voice Service for auto-dialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, telemarketing, fax broadcasting or fax blasting, or for any other use that results in excessive usage inconsistent with standard commercial calling patterns. If Wired Media Solutions determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer’s use of Voice Service is excessive or in violation of this Agreement, Wired Media Solutions reserves the right, among other things, to terminate or modify Voice Service immediately and without notice.

ARTICLE 17A: SERVICE LIMITATION

17A.1 Disruption of Service. Customer acknowledges and understands that Voice Service will not be available for use under certain circumstances, including without limitation when the network or facilities are not operating or if normal electrical power to the MTA, ATA or ALG is interrupted and such equipment does not have a functioning backup. Customer also understands and acknowledges that the performance of the battery backup is not guaranteed. If the battery backup does not provide power, Voice Services will not function until normal power is restored. Customer also understands that certain online features of Voice Service, where such features are available, will not be available under certain circumstances, including but not limited to the interruption of the Internet connection.

17A.2 Provision of Service. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, Voice Services are intended for commercial use only.


ARTICLE 18: LIMITATIONS OF 911/E911

18.1 Limitations. Voice Services includes a 911/ Enhanced 911 function (“911/E911”) that may differ from the 911 or Enhanced 911 function furnished by other providers. As such, it may have certain limitations. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND ACCEPTS ANY LIMITATIONS OF 911/E911.

18.2 Correct Address. In order for Customer’s 911/E911 calls to be properly directed to emergency services, Wired Media Solutions must have Customer’s correct Service Location address. If Customer moves Voice Service to a different Service Location without Wired Media Solutions’ approval, 911/E911 calls may be directed to the wrong emergency authority, may transmit the wrong Service Location address, and/or Voice Service (including 911/E911) may fail altogether. Therefore, Customer must contact Wired Media Solutions at least five (5) days before moving Voice Service to a new Service Location. All changes in Service Location require Wired Media Solutions’ prior approval.

18.3 Service Interruptions. Customer acknowledges and understands that certain Voice Service uses the electrical power in Customer’s Service Location. If there is an electrical power outage, 911 calling may be interrupted if the battery backup in the associated MTA, ALA or ALG is not installed, fails, or is exhausted after several hours. Furthermore, calls, including calls to 911/E911, may not be completed if Customer exceeds its Voice Service and equipment configuration calling capacity or if there is a problem with network facilities, including network congestion, network/equipment/power failure, or another technical problem.

18.4 Suspension and Termination by Wired Media Solutions. Customer understands and acknowledges that Voice Service, including 911/E911, as well as all online features of Voice Service, where Wired Media Solutions make these features available, will be disabled if Customer’s account is suspended or terminated.

18.5 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER Wired Media Solutions NOR ITS ASSOCIATED PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY VOICE SERVICE OUTAGE, INABILITY TO DIAL 911 USING THE SERVICES, AND/OR INABILITY TO ACCESS EMERGENCY SERVICE PERSONNEL. CUSTOMER AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS Wired Media Solutions AND ITS ASSOCIATED PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, FINES, PENALTIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO REASONABLE ATTORNEY FEES) BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY OR USER OF THE VOICE SERVICES RELATING TO THE FAILURE OR OUTAGE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THOSE RELATED TO 911/E911.


ARTICLE 19: VOICE EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

19.1 MTA. To use Voice Service, Customer will need a multimedia terminal adapter (“MTA”), application layer gateway (“ALG”), analog telephone adapter (“ATA”) or other adapter device. Customer can lease an MTA from Wired Media Solutions, in which case it will be Wired Media Solutions Equipment. Or, in some areas, Wired Media Solutions may permit Customer to use Voice Service with an MTA that Customer has purchased, in which case the MTA will be Customer Equipment. Customer agrees to keep the MTA plugged into a working electrical power outlet at all times.

19.2 Incompatible Equipment and Services. Customer acknowledges and understands Voice Service may not support or be compatible with:

(a) Non-recommended configurations including but not limited to MTAs, ATAs or ALGs not currently certified by Wired Media Solutions as compatible with Voice Service;

(b) Certain non-voice communications equipment, including certain makes or models of alarm and security systems, certain medical monitoring devices, certain fax machines, and certain “dial-up” modems;

(f) Other call types not expressly set forth in Wired Media Solutions’ product literature (e.g., outbound shore-to-ship calling).


ARTICLE 20: ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON Wired Media Solutions’ LIABILITY FOR VOICE SERVICE

20.1 Limitations on Wired Media Solutions’ Liability for Directories and Directory Assistance for Voice Service Customers. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY WHERE Wired Media Solutions MAKES AVAILABLE AN OPTION TO LIST CUSTOMER’S NAME, ADDRESS, AND/OR TELEPHONE NUMBER IN A PUBLISHED DIRECTORY OR DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE DATABASE, AND ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OCCURS: (i) CUSTOMER REQUESTS THAT CUSTOMER’S NAME, ADDRESS AND/OR PHONE NUMBER BE OMITTED FROM A DIRECTORY OR DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE DATABASE, BUT THAT INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN EITHER OR BOTH; (ii) CUSTOMER REQUESTS THAT CUSTOMER’S NAME, ADDRESS AND/OR PHONE NUMBER BE INCLUDED IN A DIRECTORY OR DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE DATABASE, BUT THAT INFORMATION IS OMITTED FROM EITHER OR BOTH; OR (iii) THE PUBLISHED OR LISTED INFORMATION FOR CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT CONTAINS MATERIAL ERRORS OR OMISSIONS. IF ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS PERTAIN, THEN THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF Wired Media Solutions AND ITS ASSOCIATED PARTIES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE MONTHLY CHARGES, IF ANY, WHICH CUSTOMER HAS ACTUALLY PAID TO Wired Media Solutions TO LIST, PUBLISH, NOT LIST, OR NOT PUBLISH THE INFORMATION FOR THE AFFECTED PERIOD. CUSTOMER SHALL HOLD HARMLESS Wired Media Solutions AND ITS ASSOCIATED PARTIES AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES CAUSED OR CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BY THE ERRORS AND OMISSIONS REFERENCED ABOVE. FURTHERMORE, IF Wired Media Solutions MAKES AVAILABLE DIRECTORY ADVERTISING SERVICES, NEITHER Wired Media Solutions NOR ANY OF ITS ASSOCIATED PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTS, ERRORS, OR OMISSIONS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECTORY ADVERTISING.

20.2 CUSTOMER INFORMATION. Wired Media Solutions and its suppliers reserve the right both during the term of this Agreement and upon its termination to delete Customer’s voicemail, call detail, data, files, or other information that is stored on Wired Media Solutions’ or its suppliers’ servers or systems, in accordance with our storage policies.

ARTICLE 20A: ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO TOLL FREE SERVICES

In addition to Articles 1 THROUGH 13 and Articles 17 THROUGH 20, the following Article 20A is specifically applicable to Toll Free Services offered by Wired Media Solutions:

20A.1 Limitation. Subject to service availability, Customer may order Toll Free Services. Toll Free Services are not intended for residential use. In order to purchase and retain Toll Free Service with Wired Media Solutions, Customer must have Voice Services, and must map each Toll Free telephone number (“TFN”) to a Voice Service telephone number (“Associated TN”). If Customer terminates an Associated TN at any time during the Toll Free Services term, Customer must immediately: (1) map the applicable TFN to another Digital Voice telephone number on Customer’s Wired Media Solutions account, (2) purchase a new Digital Voice telephone number to map to the TFN, (3) port out the TFN to another toll free carrier; or (4) disconnect the TFN. If Customer fails to take immediate action as indicated above, Wired Media Solutions will disconnect the TFN. Wired Media Solutions shall have no liability for loss of Toll Free Services which results from Customer failing to take immediate action as indicated above.

20A.2 Term and Termination. Toll Free Services are offered on a month to month basis. Customer shall have the right to terminate Toll Free Services, at any time, for any reason, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Wired Media Solutions, subject to payment of all outstanding amounts due for the Toll Free Services and the return of any and all Wired Media Solutions Equipment. Termination of Toll Free Services is not subject to Termination Charges. Toll Free Services will terminate simultaneously with Customer’s Voice Services.

------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE 20B: ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO TRUNK SERVICES

In addition to provisions 1 THROUGH 13 and Articles 17, 19 AND 20 above, the following Article 20B is specifically applicable to Trunk Services offered by Wired Media Solutions:

20B.1 Limitation. Subject to service availability, Customer may order Trunk Services. Trunk Services are not intended for residential use.

20B.2 911 Notice for Trunk Services. Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that it has reviewed, understands, and agrees to the terms set forth below.

(a) Customer action is essential to the protection of its employees and other users of the Trunk Services, as described below. Multi-line telephone systems, such as PBX systems, ordinarily only transmit the same, generic location information for all 911 calls placed from any handset connected to the PBX or other system. For example, in the case of a business with telephone extensions in three buildings and multiple floors in each building, the E911 call taker would only see the same main telephone number and location that the customer has identified, regardless of which station was used to place the call. If Customer does not take action as described below, fire, police and other emergency responders may be delayed or even prevented from timely reaching its location in response to a 911 call.

(b) Wired Media Solutions offers the opportunity for Customers to designate up to ten different zones within their premises that would be separately identified to the E911 call taker, such as a specific floor, side of a building, or other identifying information that could assist emergency responders to more quickly reach the appropriate location. To utilize this option, Customer must in the initial or a subsequent Service Order request the assignment of Emergency Location Information numbers and provide location information for each zone exactly as it should appear to the 911 call taker. For each zone requested, up to ten, Customer will receive a phone number that Wired Media Solutions will register in the 911 database or databases with the specific location information provided by Customer. Customer is solely responsible for programming its telephone system to map each station to one of these numbers, and for updating the system as necessary to reflect moves or additions of stations within the premises.

(c) Many states now require businesses using multi-line telephone systems to program their systems to transmit specific location information for 911 calls. Customer acknowledges and understands that it, and not Wired Media Solutions, bears sole responsibility to ensure that it identifies and complies with all such applicable laws, and any failure to do so is a breach of the Agreement. Customer represents, warrants and covenants that it will utilize the Wired Media Solutions Emergency Location Information numbers described above at least to the extent required by law, and that Customer does not require the use of more than ten different location identifiers or other features not currently offered under this Agreement in order to comply with applicable laws. Customer also warrants that it does not currently have “Private Switch/Automatic Location Identification” service in connection with its existing telephone service from another provider at the location(s) for which it has ordered Trunk Services from Wired Media Solutions.

(d) Wired Media Solutions will post only the main billing telephone number in the 911 database or databases using Customer’s billing address as the Registered Location, unless Customer requests the assignment of Emergency Location Information as set forth above. Customer must notify Wired Media Solutions at least five (5) days prior to moving the Trunk Service to another location. Customer acknowledges that if they move prior to providing such notice and a 911 call is placed using the Trunk Services, or if Customer when using Emergency Location Information numbers does not timely update their telephone system to account for internal moves, adds and changes, the E911 call taker may see incorrect or incomplete location information and the caller may need to confirm their actual location information to the call taker. (e) Some businesses elect to make test calls to 911 from multiple stations to verify that the 911 call taker receives the desired location information and is able to call back one or more of the telephone numbers that they receive to confirm it rings to the station from which the 911 call was placed. If Customer chooses to do so, it agrees to obtain prior approval from the relevant emergency communications center and assumes all responsibility for the placement of such calls.

20B.3 Recommended Battery Back-Up is NOT Included

Customer acknowledges and understands that the Trunk Services use the electrical power from the Service Location. Customer understands and acknowledges that they may lose access to and use of the Trunk Services, including 911/E911, if electrical power to the Integrated Access Device (IAD), PBX switch, and/or handsets is interrupted and such devices are not supported by a working battery backup. Customer also understands and acknowledges that Wired Media Solutions does not provide a battery backup for such devices and Customer is urged to arrange for their own backup power supply to these devices. In the event of a power outage, the duration of Trunk Service during a power outage using the Wired Media Solutions Equipment installed to provide Trunk Service will depend on Customer’s backup power choice. If the IAD is disconnected or removed and/or a battery is not charged, Trunk Service, including access to 911, will not be available. Customer acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a power failure, Wired Media Solutions bears no responsibility for such loss of service.

20B.4 Customer Responsibility for Telephone Equipment

(a) Customer is solely responsible for providing and maintaining working PBX equipment and handsets (Customer- Provided Equipment), notifying and training its users regarding proper use of the system in accordance with applicable, including regulatory, requirements, and for any programming to its telephone system that may be necessary to enable direct dialing of N11 numbers such as 911 and to enable calls to be connected to new area codes. Customer also acknowledges and accepts that Wired Media Solutions does not support seven- digit local calling even in areas of the country that still permit that option, and Customer will program its system as necessary to support ten-digit dialing for local calls.

(b) Wired Media Solutions shall not be responsible to the Customer if changes in any of the facilities, operations or procedures of Wired Media Solutions utilized in the provision of Trunk Service render any Customer-Provided Equipment or other equipment provided by a Customer obsolete or require modification or alteration of such equipment or system or otherwise affect its use or performance.

(c) Customer must arrange its Customer-Provided Equipment to provide for the interception of assigned but unused station numbers. A call intercepted by the attendant will be considered to be completed and subject to a charge for the call.

(d) Customer acknowledges and agrees that Trunk Service is not compatible with alarm and security systems, certain medical monitoring devices, certain fax machines, and certain “dial-up” modems.
