This Subscription Agreement constitutes the agreement ("Agreement") between MORRIS BROADBAND, LLC ("we," "us" or "MORRIS") and the user ("you," "user" or "Customer") of MORRIS' residential and/or small business voice communications services and any related products or services ("Service"). This Agreement governs both the Service and any devices, such as a Multimedia Terminal Adapter, Analog Telephone Adapter or any other IP connection device ("Device" or "Equipment"), used in conjunction with the Service and it applies to all lines on each MORRIS account. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date it is signed by MORRIS or the date Service is activated (the "Effective Date").

1. EMERGENCY SERVICES | 911 DIALING

1.1 911 DIALING
All of our customers using the Service at their registered address will have access to either basic 911 or Enhanced 911 (E911) service, depending on their location and except as otherwise provided for herein. With E911 service, when you dial 911, your telephone number and registered address are simultaneously sent to the local emergency calling 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 calling 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. You authorize us to disclose your name and address to third-parties involved with providing 911 Dialing and service to you, including, without limitation, call routers, call centers and local emergency centers.

1.2 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 using your Service. The documentation that accompanies each Device that you receive from MORRIS should include a sticker explaining the potential non-availability 911 service (the "911 Sticker"). It is your responsibility, in accordance with the instructions that accompany each Device, to place the 911 Sticker as near as possible to each phone 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 MORRIS.

1.3 LOCATION OF SERVICE
This Service is provided at a specific permanent address to be registered with the local emergency calling center and is not available as a nomadic offering. Before you move to another location, you must notify MORRIS to determine if service can be provided at your new permanent address and to provide the new address for 911 purposes. Service will only be provided at locations where 911 connectivity is available and a proper address is registered with the local emergency calling center for E911 to function.

1.4 SERVICE OUTAGES

(A) SERVICE OUTAGES DUE TO POWER FAILURE OR DISRUPTION If there is a power failure your Device and the ability to place and receive calls, including 911 calls, may not function. Depending on your location, network backup power systems may not be available in the event of a power failure. The Device provided may provide limited battery backup if your location is without power. If you are unsure of your battery back­up capability consult with MORRIS to determine whether or not your device has battery backup.

  • 1. DEVICE WITH BATTERY BACKUP
    Battery backup on qualifying Devices is limited. Excessive use during a power outage will result in shortened life of the internal battery. The Device should provide indication of low battery voltage. Customer should contact MORRIS for instructions or replacement. Failure of network power backup systems or the Device internal backup power system during a power failure or disruption will prevent all service, including 911 dialing, from functioning.
  • 2. DEVICE WITHOUT BATTERY BACKUP
    Devices that do not have a battery backup cannot support 911 or any other dialing in 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 YOUR MORRIS ACCOUNT
Service outages, network power outages or suspensions or disconnections of service by MORRIS, will prevent all Service, including 911 Dialing, from functioning.

 

1.5 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 call made utilizing the Service as compared to a traditional 911 call made over the traditional public telephone network.

1.6 DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
MORRIS does not have control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using our 911 Dialing service are answered or handled by any local emergency calling or response center. We disclaim all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency calling and response centers and the national emergency calling center. We rely on third parties to assist us in routing 911 calls to local emergency calling and 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 MORRIS NOR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, OR AGENTS 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. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MORRIS, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to you in connection with 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 calls, and/or the inability of any user of the Service to be able to use 911 Dialing or access emergency service personnel.

1.7 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
You understand and acknowledge that you may lose access to MORRIS' voice Service or the Service may not function properly, including the ability to call for 911/E911 service, under certain circumstances, including but not limited to, the following: (i) IF MORRIS' NETWORK OR FACILITIES ARE NOT OPERATING; (ii) IF YOU OTHERWISE LOSE YOUR BROADBAND CONNECTION; (iii) IF YOU EXPERIENCE A POWER OUTAGE; (iv) IF ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MODEM IS INTERRUPTED; and/or (v) IF YOU FAILED TO PROVIDE A PROPER SERVICE ADDRESS OR MOVED THE SERVICE TO A DIFFERENT ADDRESS. You understand and acknowledges that in order for 911/E911 calls to be properly directed MORRIS must have your current service address and if you move your Service to a different address without MORRIS' approval, 911/E911 calls may be directed to the wrong emergency authority, may transmit the incorrect location address for responding or the Service (including 911/E911) may fail altogether. You are required to notify MORRIS of any change of address of the Device for E911 calling service to work properly. You agree that, to the maximum extent allowed by law, MORRIS shall have no liability for any damages caused, directly or indirectly, by your inability to access the Services, including the 911/E911 services.

1.8 ALTERNATE 911 ARRANGEMENTS
If you are not comfortable with the technical limitations of the 911 Dialing service, you should consider having an alternate means of accessing traditional 911 or E911 services.
