A power failure or disruption may require you to reset or reconfigure Equipment prior to utilizing the Internet Phone Service. c. No Battery Back-Up. The Equipment does not include a battery back-up, and a power failure or disruption will interrupt E911, 911 or other emergency dialing services and make it impossible to place such calls or reach emergency services over the Internet Phone Service. d. Service Interruptions; Required Internet Access Service. You acknowledge and understand that the Internet Phone Service may not function or may function improperly in the event of interruption of your Internet Access Service. You also acknowledge and understand that you must obtain and use Internet Access Service from Bluebird in order to enable the Internet Phone Service to operate properly, and further that the Internet Phone Service may not be used with another provider’s broadband or internet service and we do not authorize you to use the Internet Phone Service with another provider’s broadband or internet service.

IN ADDITION TO THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS IN SECTIONS 34 AND 35, BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU WAIVE ANY CLAIM AGAINST BLUEBIRD, ITS AFFILIATES, THEIR AGENTS OR SUPPLIERS, OR THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS FOR INTERFERENCE WITH OR DISRUPTION OF SUCH NON-VOICE SYSTEMS DUE TO THE INTERNET PHONE SERVICE AND AGREE TO TAKE ALL NECESSARY STEPS TO RESTORE OR MAINTAIN SUCH EQUIPMENT OR INTERNET PHONE SERVICE IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE USING THEM.

IN ADDITION TO THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS IN SECTIONS 34 AND 35, BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU WAIVE ANY CLAIM AGAINST BLUEBIRD, ITS AFFILIATES, THEIR AGENTS OR SUPPLIERS, OR THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS RELATING TO HIGH-RISK ACTIVITIES. The foregoing sentence will survive termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason. 15. Local Number Portability When Available. In the event you are not utilizing a new phone number for your Internet Phone Service, but rather are transferring an existing phone number, which currently is subscribed to another service provider, to the Internet Phone Service, the terms and conditions of this section shall apply: (a) You agree to cooperate fully with Bluebird and to provide promptly all information, including a letter of authorization or otherwise, as requested by Bluebird in connection with the processing of your order for Internet Phone Service; (b) You authorize Bluebird to process your order for Internet Phone Service and to notify your current service provider of your decision to switch your local, local toll and long distance services to the Service, and represent that you are authorized to take this action; (c) You agree and acknowledge that if you set up the Internet Phone Service prior to the date that the number switch becomes effective (the “Port Effective Date”), you will be able to make outgoing calls only over the Internet Phone Service and may not be able to make 911 or E911 calls over the Internet Phone Service. In such event, you should keep another phone connected to an existing phone extension at your service location to receive incoming calls until the Port Effective Date, after which you will be able to both make and receive calls using the Service; and (d) You agree and acknowledge that if the Service is not yet activated as of the Port Effective Date, your existing phone service for the number you are transferring will be disconnected and you will have no service for that line. Therefore, to avoid an interruption in your phone service, it is important that you install the Internet Phone Service prior to, or on, the Port Effective Date. An estimate of the Port Effective Date may be sent to you via e-mail by Bluebird following your completion of the ordering process, but this is only an estimate, not a guarantee of the Port Effective Date. 16. Equipment Location; Tampering with the Bluebird Equipment/Warning Sticker. You agree that the Bluebird Equipment and the Internet Phone Service may be used only at the Service location appearing in Bluebird’s records. You agree not to change the electronic serial number or identifier of the Bluebird Equipment, or to perform a factory reset of the Equipment, without express permission from Bluebird in each instance.

Changes to the Agreement or Charges. We may change or increase any applicable charges for the Service or any other charges at any time, including without limitation, charges for international calling through the Internet Phone Service. However, if we: (a) increase the charges for a Service and you would be charged a termination or similar fee to cancel that Service, or (b) we modify a material term of our Agreement with you and the modification would be materially adverse to you, we will notify you of the increase or modification (as provided in Section 39) and you can cancel the affected Service without paying the termination or similar fee (which is your only remedy) by following the cancellation instructions in the notice. If you do not cancel the Service by following the instructions in the notice, then you agree to the increase or modification, even if you paid for Service in advance.

Service Distinctions. You acknowledge and agree that the Service is not a telephone service. Important distinctions exist between telephone service and the Service offering provided by Bluebird.

You have no ownership or proprietary interest in such IP addresses.

You will not assign to any other person the IP address assigned to you. You will not program any other IP address into the Equipment. 30. Credit Reporting Agencies. You authorize us to ask consumer reporting agencies or trade references to furnish us with employment and credit information, and you consent to our rechecking and reporting personal and/or business payment and credit history, as well as to enter this information in your file and disclose this information concerning you to appropriate third parties for reasonable business purposes.

Initial Term and Renewal Terms/Termination/Early Termination Fee. You will maintain Service for the duration of any minimum Initial Term (as set forth on the Order Form). If during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term (defined below) you decide to change to another Bluebird plan with different rates or features or add Internet Phone Service to your existing Internet Access Service, then you agree that Bluebird may restart the Initial Term or any Renewal Term for the Internet Access Service, as applicable, from the beginning of such change in plan or addition of service. After any Initial Term, each applicable Service will automatically continue and will renew for additional consecutive one-year periods or such other periods as set forth on the Order Form (each a “Renewal Term”), unless terminated as provided in these Terms. You may terminate the Service at the end of the Initial Term or at the end of any Renewal Term, by contacting Bluebird’s Customer Care department as set forth at www.Bluebirdwireless.com and giving notice of termination at least sixty (60) days in advance of the next scheduled renewal date.

You must return all leased Equipment to Bluebird in good working order, reasonable wear and tear excepted, in accordance with Bluebird’s return policy set forth at www.Bluebirdwireless.com. If you do not immediately return the Equipment in good working order, you agree and shall owe Bluebird payment in an amount reflecting the full retail value of the Equipment. In such cases, you agree that Bluebird may charge your Card account (if applicable) the foregoing amounts and to pay Bluebird the foregoing amounts if a Cash Payment customer. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Bluebird and its suppliers reserve the right to delete any voicemails, data, files, electronic messages or other information stored on Bluebird’s or its suppliers’ servers or systems.

Termination/Discontinuance of Service. Bluebird reserves the right to suspend or discontinue providing the Service generally, or to terminate your Service, either in whole or in part, at any time in its sole discretion. If Bluebird discontinues providing the Service generally, or terminates your Service in its discretion (i.e., for a reason other than your or your Users’ breach of this Agreement or your or your Users’ improper use of the Service), you will only be responsible for charges accrued through the date of termination, including a pro-rated portion of the final month’s charges. If your Service is terminated for any stated reason, including without limitation violation of the Agreement, or because of any improper use of the Service or Equipment (such as, but not limited to, any violation set forth in this Agreement including any attempts to hack, disrupt, or misuse the Service or your acts or omissions that violate any Policy of Bluebird or of a third party provider to which Bluebird is subject), you will be responsible for the full month’s charges to the end of the current term, including without limitation unbilled charges, plus the Early Termination Fee set forth in these Terms, all of which immediately become due and payable. Bluebird may, but is not required to, reactivate your Service after Service has been suspended or terminated in accordance with this subsection. BEFORE SERVICE MAY BE REACTIVATED, YOU MUST PAY TO BLUEBIRD ALL PAST DUE AMOUNTS AND LATE PAYMENT FEES PLUS A REACTIVATION CHARGE PER ACCOUNT AND APPLICABLE TAXES. Bluebird may modify the terms of Service before reactivating your Service and may require you to provide us with a deposit. 33. Default; Effect of Termination. You will be in default under the Agreement if you do not pay any sum when due, breach the Agreement or any other agreement between you and us, become the subject of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or become insolvent. In any such case, you shall remain responsible for payment of all charges and fees (including any Early Termination Fee) due under the Agreement (including charges incurred after a bankruptcy filing), which charges will be immediately due and payable. If you receive other services from Bluebird, such as wireless broadband or other services, you must pay your bill in full for such services or your Service will be disconnected as well as any other services you had subscribed to from Bluebird. If Service is suspended or cancelled for a failure to pay, you will lose all functions of the Service, including E911 and 911 dialing for the phone service. We have the right to discontinue Service and/or terminate the Agreement without prior notice if you default under the Agreement. Bluebird may, but is not required to, reactivate your Service after Service has been suspended or terminated. Before Service may be reactivated, you must pay to Bluebird all past due amounts and late payment fees plus a reactivation charge per account and applicable taxes.
