SERVICE - GENERALLY |
Times Telecom offers Voice over Internet Protocol (also known as VoIP, Voice over IP) enabled telephone service, including outbound calling, inbound phone numbers, and related telephony features. Service is offered on a prepaid basis. User accounts that are subject to a monthly service charge are automatically replenished through a charge billed to your credit card without further action by you ("Automatic Recharge"). You hereby authorize such charges. Automatic Recharge takes place (i) on a monthly basis at the commencement of each monthly term and (ii) when the account balance is below the level set forth in the Calling Plan Details with respect to your particular calling plan and (iii) on prepaid calling cards when balance drops to a preset limit. Times Telecom provides the VOIP Service for full monthly terms only, beginning on the date that your account is first created. If you signed up for the calling plan in the middle of the month, you will be charged on a prorate basis for the first month at the next billing cycle.
You agree to use the Services, Software and Website for lawful purposes only. You are prohibited from posting on, or transmitting through, the Website any materials, or engaging through the Services in any conduct, that is fraudulent, unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, profane, hateful, discriminatory, or otherwise objectionable, including without limitation, any material or conduct that encourages unlawful activities.

911 EMERGENCY SERVICE |
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 Times Telecom-certified Devices or Equipment.
911 Dialing setup is initiated when you subscribe to Times Telecom service using the address you provide, but our 911 Dialing feature is not automatic. If you wish to update your 911 location information you must separately take affirmative steps, as described in this Agreement, to register the address where you will use the Services in order to activate the 911 Dialing feature. You must do this for each Times Telecom 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 described on our 911 dialing section of the website and hereafter. You shall inform any household residents, guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize the Service of
- the non-availability of traditional 911 or E911, and
- the important differences in and limitations of the 911 Dialing feature as
compared with traditional 911 or E911 dialing. The documentation that accompanies
each Device that you receive should include a sticker concerning the potential
non-availability of traditional 911 or E911 dialing (the "911 Sticker"). It is your
responsibility, in accordance with the instructions that accompany each Device, to place the
911 Sticker on each Device that you use with the Service. If you did not receive a 911 Sticker
with your Device, or you require additional 911 Stickers, please contact our customer care department at 604-606-7888.
Registration of Physical Location Required For each phone number that you use for the Service, you must register with Times Telecom the 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 centre 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 emailing to csr@Times Telecom.com. 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.
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.
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 centre and then forward your call to a general number at that centre. When the centre receives your call, the operator may not have your address and/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 centre and a trained agent will contact an emergency centre 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.
Service Outages
- 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.
- Service outages or suspensions or terminations of service by your broadband provider or ISP will prevent all Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.
- Service outages due to suspension or termination of your account will prevent all Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.
- 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 Times Telecom 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.
- If there is a Service outage for any other 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.
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.
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.
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 centre and that centre 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.
No Automated Location Identification In several service areas, it is not possible at this time to transmit to the local emergency response centre 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 may 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.
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 centre. We disclaim all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centres and the national emergency calling centre. We rely on third parties to assist us in routing 911 Dialing calls to local emergency response centres and to a national emergency calling centre. 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 Times IPTM 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 Times IPTM, 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, legal fees and expenses) 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. |
|
PAYMENT AND BILLING |
You authorize any charges incurred from the use of your Times Telecom account to be billed to you through your credit card. You may use the Times Telecom account only as long as your credit card remains valid and in good standing. You agree to pay for all charges incurred by use of the Times Telecom account issued to you and comply with all other terms and conditions set forth herein.
In order to protect our customers from fraudulent credit card usage we have developed a sophisticated verification process that we activate upon sign up and registration. Consequently, it can take up to forty eight (48) hours from registration for your account to be activated and ready to use.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account number and/or password. You are responsible for all uses of your account, whether or not actually or expressly authorized by you. You agree to notify Times Telecom immediately if you become aware at any time that your account or the Service is being stolen or fraudulently used, in writing by e-mailing to Times Telecom Customer Care. You agree to be responsible for payment of all charges on your account´s detail report incurred as a result of the use of your Times Telecom debit account, including but not limited to the use or misuse by an unauthorized third party, or any error, accidental use or loss.
You are not authorized to use your Times Telecom account after your credit card has expired, or been withdrawn, revoked, or terminated. Nevertheless you remain responsible to Times Telecom for any charges resulting from the use of your Times Telecom account after any such expiration, withdrawal, revocation or termination, which charges are payable immediately to Times Telecom.
Charges for the Service will be rated and charged in accordance with the rates provided by Times Telecom, any promotional offer pursuant to the published terms of such offer by Times Telecom, or as otherwise as provided in our price list or on the Website. Call times for each call are rounded up to the next whole minute and billed in full minute increments. Per call charges are rounded up to the next whole minute. All calls that are determined to have been answered incur a minimum one (1) minute charge. Times Telecom relies on reasonable and standard technologies to determine whether and when a call has been answered, including without limitation signals sent by the carrier connecting the call that indicates the commencement of call. These technologies are not perfect or entirely reliable and it is possible for call-commencement signals to be received in error. All calls made to mobile telephones are deemed to have been completed. You must notify Times Telecom in writing of any disputed charges within thirty (30) days of the charges or you will be deemed to have waived your right to dispute the charges.
Certain federal, state, provincial, municipal, local or other governmental sales, use, excise, value added, personal property, public utility or other taxes, fees or charges now in force or enacted in the future (collectively, "Taxes"), may apply, or become applicable in connection with the use of the Times Telecom accounts or the Services, Software or Website. You will be responsible for any Taxes. Applicable Taxes will be deducted from your prepaid debit account balance or charged directly to your credit card.
All prices are subject to change without prior notice. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of any changes to calling plans subject to a fixed monthly fee (the "Monthly Fee") pursuant to the applicable Calling Plan Details, but such notification shall not be deemed a prerequisite to the effectiveness of any such change. Our rates may not include additional charges you may receive for originating a call from a cell phone, adding multiple phone lines.
All Monthly Fees and any additional per minute charges incurred will be charged directly to your credit card on the same date and at the same time every month, with a possible delay of four (4) hours which may cause a possible shift in date, from time to time.
If you are subscribed to an unlimited calling plan subject to a Monthly Fee, and in the event that you exceed the allowed minutes for the plan, you will be charged on per minute for every exceeding minute as per Times Telecom rates. Unlimited plans will have an upper limit on total minutes for in plan calls. Regularly exceeding this limit will force Times Telecom to put you onto to a higher minute usage plan. In the event that your calling plan is prepaid and you reached your allowed minutes for the month, you may recharge your plan by logging into member area of Times Telecom.
Billing cycle will run at the beginning of the month for the previous month. If your credit card was declined during the beginning of the month billing cycle, you will be notified via email and you will have ten (10) days to change your credit card under your profile. A second billing cycle will run only for failed transactions in 10 days of the first billing cycle and if credit card authorization fails then your account will be temporarily suspended and you may contact Times Telecom customer service to resolve the matter. |

You may terminate your account at any time by providing at least fourteen (14) days´ prior written notice of non-renewal to Times Telecom Customer Care which contains your name, account number and clear request to terminate the Service shall suffice as a written notice for the purpose described in the previous sentence.
If you attempt to terminate Service prior to the end of a monthly term, you will be responsible for the full month's charges through the end of the then-current monthly term. Any notice of termination received within the final fourteen (14) days of any monthly term will be effective as of the conclusion of the subsequent month.
