Commencing with the Effective Date and at all times during the Ramp Period thereafter, Customer will receive the rates, discounts, charges and credits set forth herein and will not be subject to the AVC. The Agreement will be automatically extended ("Extended Term") on a month-to-month basis upon the expiration of the Initial Term, unless either party has delivered written notice of its intent to terminate the Agreement at least 60 days prior to the end of the Initial Term. Either party may terminate this Agreement during the Extended Term upon 60 days prior written notice. Term shall mean the Initial Term and the Extended Term. | |
3. | Tariff and Guide. Verizon's provision of Services to Customer will be governed by Verizon's international, interstate and state tariffs ("Tariff(s)"), its "Service Publication and Price Guide" ("Guide") at www.verizonbusiness.com/guide, and this Agreement. This Agreement incorporates by reference the terms of each Tariff and the Guide. Verizon may modify the Guide from time to time and any modification will be binding upon Customer, as provided in the Guide. If a conflict arises, the order of precedence is: (i) Tariffs to the extent applicable (ii) this Agreement (excluding the Guide and Tariffs), and (iii) the Guide. Among the provisions of the Agreement, the order of precedence is: (i) Service Attachments, and (ii) these Terms and Conditions. If Verizon makes any changes to the Guide (other than to Governmental Charges) that affect Customer in a material and adverse manner, Customer may discontinue the affected Service without liability by providing Verizon with written notice of discontinuance within 60 days of the date the change is posed on the Website, unless within 60 days of receiving customer's discontinuance notice, Verizon agrees to remove the material adverse effect on Customer. If a Service is discontinued, Customer's AVC (defined below), will be reduced, as appropriate, to accommodate the discontinuance. |
4. | Rates and Charges; Governmental Charges; Taxes. Customer agrees to pay the rates and charges specified in this Agreement. "Standard" rates and charges means the Verizon Business Services II pricing plan ("VBS II"), where applicable. Except where expressly stated otherwise, all rates and charges are subject to change. Verizon may give Customer notice of pricing changes by posting them on the Guide, by invoice message, or by other reasonable means. All charges are exclusive of applicable Taxes, and Verizon may add or adjust rates and charges in order to receive amounts it is required or permitted by governmental or quasi-governmental authorities to collect from or pay to others in support of statutory or regulatory programs ("Governmental Charges"). Customer will not be eligible to receive any other additional discounts, promotions and/or credits (Tariffed or otherwise). The rates and charges set forth in this |
Page 2 of 121
Agreement do not include (without limitation) charges for all possible non-recurring charges, access service, local exchange service, charges imposed by a third party other than Verizon, on-site installation, Governmental Charges (defined above), network application fees, customer premises equipment or extended wiring to or at a Customer premises. | ||

If Customer's Total Service Charges do not reach the AVC in any Contract Year because the Agreement is terminated early by Customer without Cause or by Verizon with Cause, Customer shall pay an "Early Termination Charge" equal to [**]. If, in any monthly billing period during the Extended Term, Customer's Total Service Charges do not meet or exceed [**] of the Year Two AVC then Customer shall pay: (a) all accrued but unpaid usage and other charges incurred under this Agreement and (b) an "Underutilization Charge" equal to [**]. |
A. | Managed Services Subminimum Underutilization Charges. If in any Contract Year during the Term, Customer's charges for Managed Service do not meet or exceed the Managed Services Subminimum, then Customer shall pay: (i) all accrued but unpaid charges incurred under this Agreement; and (ii) an "Underutilization Charge" (which Customer hereby agrees is reasonable) equal to the difference between [**]. |

Customer will pay a late payment charge equal to the lesser of: (a) [**]% per month, (b) the amount indicated in a Service Attachment, or (c) the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. A "Disputed" amount is one for which Customer has given Verizon written notice, adequately supported by bona fide explanation and documentation. Any invoiced amount not Disputed within [**] of the invoice date is deemed correct and binding on Customer. Customer is liable for all fees and expenses, including attorney's fees, reasonably incurred by Verizon in attempting to collect any charges owned under this Agreement. | |

9. | Confidential Information. The parties will protect Confidential Information, and limit its use and disclosure, as provided further in the Guide. "Confidential Information" means information (in whatever form) designated as confidential by the disclosing party by conspicuous markings (if tangible Confidential Information) or by announcement at the time of the initial disclosure (if oral Confidential Information) or if not so marked or announced should reasonably have been understood as confidential to the disclosing party (or one of its affiliates or subcontractors), either because of legends or other markings, the circumstances of disclosure or the nature of the information itself and that (i) relates to this Agreement or changes to this Agreement; (ii) relates to the disclosing party's customers, products, services, developments, trade secrets, know-how or personnel; and (iii) is received by the receiving party from the disclosing party during the Term. |

II. | TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
A. | Business Application. VoIP Service is offered only to commercial business customers. | ||
B. | Equipment. Optional CPE required for any VoIP Service is provided pursuant to the CPE Service Attachment. | ||
C. | Emergency Calling Services. Enhanced 911 service ("E-911") currently enables users to access an appropriate public safety answering point ("PSAP") by dialing 911 with Automatic Number Identification (hereinafter referred to as "ANI") and Automatic Location Identification ("ALI") displayed at the PSAP. The ANI may be the calling party number ("CPN") or the billing telephone number ("BTN") depending on Customer's configuration. The ability to access an appropriate PSAP depends on the type, configuration and location of the phone used. Verizon provides E-911 only in locations where such 911 calling is available and only under the limited circumstances described below. Furthermore, much like access to 911 emergency service via traditional PSTN local service, access to a PSAP will be unavailable if Customer's access circuit or local gateway fails. Customer is responsible for complying with all applicable 911 emergency calling service laws. |
1. | Long Distance Service/Limitations on E-911. VOIP-based Long Distance Voice Service does not provide E-911 access. Thus, to ensure proper E-911 access and support, Customer must obtain separate Local service when only Long Distance Voice Service is ordered from Verizon. | ||
2. | PS/ALI. If Customer requires location-specific ALI (such as floor and room number within a building) delivery to the PSAP for TDM KSU systems, TDM PBX/KSU systems, IP PBX/KSU systems, or otherwise desires E-911 service to be provided for multiple user configurations, Customer must implement Private Switch/Automatic Location Identification (PS/ALI). Customer may obtain the software and support that enable PS/ALI from a third-party provider. In all cases, VoIP Service can only support the delivery of the caller's station level phone number to a PSAP when such telephone numbers are ported to Verizon during the initial provisioning process or are numbers assigned by Verizon. Before Verizon will support Customer's use of PS/ALI, Customer must execute Verizon's LOA (see Section 3.4, below). Once PS/ALI is implemented, Verizon will continue to send 911 calls to the PSAP; however, Customer and not Verizon |
Page 13 of 121
will be entirely responsible for the content of the information delivered in ALI to the PSAP. | |||
3. | Other Access Limitations. Common events that can limit access to E-911 include but are not limited to: |
ï | Loss of Electric Service. VoIP Service will be interrupted if there is a loss of electric service. Customers are urged to implement a battery backup system for VoIP Service. | ||
ï | Loss of Broadband Service. VoIP Service will be interrupted if the attendant broadband connection is not available. | ||
ï | Failure of Equipment. The malfunction or failure of equipment, software or hardware necessary for end-to-end Internet functionality (e.g., routers, IP phones, analog gateways, etc.) can limit access to E-911. | ||
ï | Failure to Register New Location of Equipment. Currently, Verizon is not able to provide E-911 except at the user's registered primary service location. If a VoIP phone is to be used at a location other than the user's registered primary service location, E-911 will not be available. | ||
ï | Non-Recognition of Phone Number. If an end-user uses a non-native telephone number (i.e., a telephone number from a local exchange area different from where the caller is located), E-911 access may be limited. |
4. | End-User Notice Requirements. Customer will notify all of its end users of Verizon VoIP of the interaction and/or limitations of E-911 with Verizon VoIP. Customer also will notify all such end-users what procedures they must follow for registering a new location prior to moving an IP phone. | ||
5. | Corrupt ANI and Emergency Call Trace Limitations. If the ANI delivered to Verizon in the 911 call setup message is not recognized and therefore considered "corrupt," the call will be automatically routed by Verizon to an Emergency Call Relay Center (ECRC). Such a call will be answered by operators who will relay the call to the appropriate emergency service provider based on the caller's ability to communicate a current location and emergency service needed. If the caller is unable to communicate current location, call trace procedures will be implemented. Note that call trace capabilities may be limited. | ||
6. | Disclaimer of Certain Damages. E-911 service is offered solely as an aid in contacting an appropriate PSAP in connection with fire, police and other emergencies. Verizon is not responsible for any losses, claims, demands, suits or any liability whatsoever ("Losses"), including without limitation (i) losses to or relating to Customer or a third party, (ii) losses for any personal injury or property damage or loss, (iii) losses claimed to have been caused by (a) mistakes, omissions, interruptions, delays, errors or other defects in the provision of E-911, or (b) installation, operation, failure to operate, maintenance, removal, presence, condition, location or use of any equipment and facilities furnishing VoIP service. Verizon also is not responsible for any infringement or invasion of the right of privacy of any person or persons caused or claimed to have been caused, directly or indirectly, by the installation, operation, failure to operate, maintenance, removal, presence, condition, occasion or use of E-911 and the equipment associated with it, or by any services furnished by Verizon including, but not limited to, the identification of the telephone number, address or name associated with the phone used by the party or parties accessing E-911, and which arise out of the negligence or other wrongful act of Verizon, customer, its users, agencies or municipalities, or the employees or agents of any one of them. | ||
7. | Indemnity. CUSTOMER WILL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD VERIZON HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING FROM THE NON-IMPLEMENTATION OF PS/ALI AND/OR ENABLING OF STATION LEVEL 911 SERVICE, OR THE FAILURE OF PS/ALI OR STATION LEVEL 911 SERVICE IF ENABLED. |
Page 14 of 121
D. | Letter of Authorization. To the extent Customer's VoIP Service includes the provision of Verizon's Local voice service and Customer implements PS/ALI, Customer will execute Verizon's Letter of Authorization ("LOA") that lists affected telephone numbers (via range, if applicable) and the attendant street addresses. Verizon will use the LOA to notify the appropriate Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC) that Customer, not Verizon, is now responsible for building, loading, and maintaining the location-specific ALI database for the CPNs associated with the BTNs. | ||
E. | No Resale. VoIP Service is provided only to Customer. Resale by Customer of VoIP Service as a stand-alone service is prohibited. However, if Customer subscribes to a tiered pricing plan for VoIP Service, Customer may provide to and be compensated by end users for VoIP-based services as a component of a larger service offering provided, for example, to a retirement home, campus-living facility, or hotel. | ||
F. | Customer Responsibilities. In addition to the other obligations of Customer contained in this Service Attachment and the Agreement, Customer will be responsible for the following obligations: |
1. | Customer-Obtained Facilities. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, Customer is responsible for obtaining, installing, configuring and maintaining all equipment (including, but not limited to, SIP Phones, gateways and firewalls), software, wiring, power sources, telephone connections and/or communications services necessary for inter-connection with Verizon's network or otherwise for use in conjunction with VoIP Service ("Facilities"). Customer is responsible for ensuring that such Facilities are compatible with Verizon's requirements (including being certified for use with VoIP Service where applicable), and that they continue to be compatible with subsequent revision levels of Verizon-provided equipment, software and services. Customer is responsible for operation and configuration of its computer(s) and LAN/WAN. If Customer connects any Facilities to VoIP Service that Customer reasonably should know may not be compatible with VoIP service, Customer is solely responsible for any effects that arise from that connection on VoIP service, equipment or software of Verizon, Customer, or any third party, and Customer waives any claims against Verizon relating to the performance of VoIP service. |
Page 15 of 121
2. | Security. Use of VoIP service, like other network-based services, carries certain security risks to the systems and networks of Customer, Verizon and third parties including, but not limited to: misuse, unauthorized access; alterations; theft; destruction; corruption; and attacks ("Occurrences"). Customer shall, at its own expense, take security measures, including but not limited to use of firewalls, passwords, access restrictions, encryption, policies and physical access restrictions ("Security Measures") to protect from Occurrences all VoIP Service traffic, Facilities and other equipment, software, data and systems located on Customer's premises or otherwise in Customer's control and used in connection with VoIP service, whether owned by Customer, Verizon or Verizon's subcontractors. Customer agrees that Verizon is not liable, in contract, tort, or on any other basis, for any loss resulting from any Occurrences or use of such VoIP Service traffic, Facilities, or other equipment, software, data and systems. Customer is responsible for all Security Measures, even if Customer uses a third party (or Verizon) to configure and implement them. |
G. | Design Approval. Notwithstanding the inclusion of this VoIP Service Attachment in Customer's contract, availability of VoIP Service on a site-by-site basis is subject to having a site design reviewed and approved by Verizon. | ||
H. | Service Disclaimer. Verizon shall not be responsible for certain conditions r equipment that may affect VoIP Service, including, without limitation: |
ï | Failure or poor performance of Customer's Domain Name Server ("DNS Server") and/or local area network ("LAN") upon which VoIP Service relies. Network-related outages also may occur, and service restoration intervals may vary from those associated with traditional telecommunications service. | ||
ï | Communications from analog modems may have protocol interaction issues when used over VoIP technology (due to their handshake and error-checking rules) and cannot be assured of the same quality as other communications; | ||
ï | VoIP Service is provided without any warranty whatsoever with respect to modems. Modems may not be used on VoIP Service except with Codec G.711 without silence suppression. | ||
ï | Alarm lines (whether or not they use modems) are wholly unsupported on VoIP Service (with respect to both service and wiring, without limitation). | ||
ï | Customer will be responsible for all inside wiring and special construction charges. |
I. | Geographic Coverage. VoIP Service is not available in Hawaii or Alaska and may not be available in other states or regions. | ||
J. | Restrictions. Customer understands that use of VoIP Service is restricted in the following manner: |
ï | Customer may not extend its VoIP service to locations outside of the U.S. without written permission from Verizon. | ||
ï | At any given time, Customer may only place as many concurrent calls as it has purchased; | ||
ï | Customer may not modify the Verizon-installed design and/or configuration without the previous written consent of Verizon; Customer expressly acknowledges that any violation of the foregoing restrictions on its use of VoIP Service will result in the immediate termination of services. |
K. | Call Origination Information. Customer acknowledges that Verizon classifies local and long distance calls to determine appropriate rate allocation (i.e., local, intrastate or interstate). Verizon bases this classification on the information in Verizon's systems identifying each call's originating |
Page 16 of 121
location. As accurate information regarding the origination point of calls is necessary to make the appropriate rate allocation, it is a material condition of this Service Attachment that customer provide Verizon with accurate information reflecting its calls' originating location. Customer therefore warrants that it will, at all times use, for each telephone station, a telephone number with an NPA-NXX code ()i.e., the first six digits of a 10-digit number, representing the area code and exchange) that Verizon has assigned to the rate center area in which that customer telephone station is located. Customer further warrants that it will not alter the originating location of any its calls to reflect the NPA-NXX code associated with an intermediate point or some point other than where the call originated and will, upon request from Verizon, provide Verizon with supporting information to confirm the accuracy of the originating call information from all such calls. Customer hereby indemnifies Verizon with respect to any third-party claims associated with Customer's failure to fulfill its obligations under this section. | |||
L. | Additional Terms and Conditions for BUNDLED pricing Model. The BUNDLED pricing model is subject to the following additional terms and conditions. |
1. | Verizon may interrupt BUNDLED Internet DSL or Internet Dedicated Services for scheduled or emergency maintenance or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Internet DSL local loop connections between Customer's location and Verizon will be arranged by Verizon, and are provided through a local exchange carrier. Customer authorizes Verizon to act as its agent with respect to the ordering, installing, monitoring, testing, repairing, and performing all related activities regarding the local exchange carrier and the Internet DSL local loop connection. Internet DSL may be unavailable in any particular location, even after being ordered. Service availability and speed level cannot be determined until a technician visits the site and performs installation tests. If Internet DSL is not available (either entirely or at the speed level ordered) after being ordered, the order will be deemed canceled. If Internet DSL is available at a lower speed level, customer may reorder the service at the new speed level. Once in service, Internet DSL may be interrupted as a result of various circumstances, including those involving the local exchange carrier, over which Verizon may have limited control. In particular, the resolution of a local loop interruption may be delayed if local exchange carrier support is not available or effective. | ||
2. | VoIP Service Equipment. |
a. | General. At all times, title to any equipment provided by Verizon as part of VoIP Service ("VoIP Service Equipment") will remain with Verizon. Customer shall (i) maintain the VoIP Service Equipment and any associated software, systems, cabling and facilities in accordance with the reasonable instructions or Verizon as may be given from time to time; (ii) not modify, relocate, or in any way interfere with the VoIP Service Equipment unless expressly authorized by a representative of Verizon to do so; and (iii) not cause the VoIP Service Equipment to be repaired, serviced, or otherwise accessed except by an authorized representative of Verizon. Failure of Customer to permit Verizon representatives entry, upon reasonable request, to Customer premises or service locations to repair or maintain VoIP Service or equipment will discharge Verizon from its service obligation. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer will return the VoIP Service Equipment to Verizon at Verizon's expense in the manner set forth in the Guide. | ||
b. | Maintenance. With respect to the VoIP Service Equipment only, Verizon will provide the following maintenance services ("Maintenance Services"): (i) Use commercially reasonable efforts to isolate any problems with the VoIP Service Equipment that resides on Customer's site and send a technician to Customer's site if necessary; (ii) replacement of affected components if Verizon, in its sole discretion, determines that any VoIP Service Equipment that resides on Customer's premise needs to be replaced; such component to be replaced with a |
Page 17 of 121
component in good working order and of like kind and functionality from a manufacturer of Verizon's choice at the time of replacement. | |||
c. | Normal Use Limitation. Maintenance Services only apply to problems arising out of the normal use of the VoIP Service Equipment and do not apply if the VoIP Service Equipment is damaged as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Customer. If repair and/or replacement is required because of damage caused by Customer's negligence or willful misconduct, Customer will be charged time at a rate of $[**] per hour during normal business hours to repair the VoIP Service Equipment, and Customer will be charged the replacement cost of VoIP Service Equipment requiring replacement. |
3. | Service Level Agreement. The Service Level Agreement ("SLA") for VoIP is set forth at www.verizonbusiness.com/terms. Verizon reserves the right to amend SLAs from time to time, effective upon either posting of the revised SLA to that URL or providing other notice to Customer. These SLAs set forth Customer's sole remedies for any claim relating to VoIP Service (including the Internet Dedicated or Internet DSL Office service), including any failure to meet the conditions set forth in these SLAs. Verizon's records and data are the basis for all SLA calculations and determinations. Under these SLAs, the maximum amount of credit available to Customer for any calendar month shall not exceed the following (a) for A LA CARTE pricing, the [**]; or (b) for BUNDLED pricing, the [**]. |
M. | Additional Terms and Conditions for IP Flexible T1 |
1. | E-911 ó Calling Limitations |
a. | E-911 provided via IP Flexile T1 will pass ANI and the registered primary service address of that ANI as ALI. If Customer requires location-specific ALI (such as floor and room number within a building) delivery to the PSAP for TDM KSU systems, Customer must implement Private Switch/Automatic Location Identification (PS/ALI). Customer may obtain the software the support that enable PS/ALI from a third-party provider. In all cases, VoIP Service can only support the delivery of the caller's station level phone number to a PSAP when such telephone numbers are ported to Verizon during the initial provisioning process or are numbers assigned by Verizon. | ||
B. | Before Verizon will support Customer's use of PS/ALI, Customer must execute Verizon's LOA (see Section 3.4 in the Service Attachment). Once PS/ALI is implemented, Verizon will continue to send 911 calls to the PSAP; however, Customer and not Verizon will be entirely responsible for the content of the information delivered in ALI to the PSAP. |
2. | IP Flexible T1 Service Restrictions: |
ï | For each Customer location, up to two T-1 lines may be utilized (each of which must be purchased as part of a separate bundle). | ||

N. | Additional Terms and Conditions for IP Integrated Access |
1. | E-911 ó Calling Limitations. |
Page 18 of 121
a. | E-911 provided via IP Integrated Access will pass ANI and the registered primary service address of that ANI as ALI. If VoIP Service is provided to a campus environment where all buildings have the same service address and rate center using a TDM PBX/KSU, then Customer acknowledges and agrees that when 911 is dialed, the call will be routed to the appropriate PSAP based on the primary service address of the calling ANI. | ||
b. | If Customer purchases VoIP Service in a single-site tenant or hotel configuration with a TDM PBX/KSU, it is responsible for complying with all applicable emergency 911 laws. The latter may include state or local laws that require it (as owner of the TDM PBX) to implement PS/ALI to ensure required E-911 support for multiple user configurations to enable station level 911 ANI and ALI display. | ||
c. | If Customer purchases VoIP Service in a geographically-distributed multi-site environment using a TDM PBX or Key System, then only Long Distance Voice Services will be available and Customer will be responsible for obtaining separate Local service as set forth in Section 3.3.1 in the Service Attachment. |
O. | Additional Terms and Conditions for IP Trunking |
1. | E-911 ó Calling Limitations. |
a. | E-911 provided via IP Trunking will pass ANI and the registered primary service address of that ANI as ALI. If VoIP Service is provided to a campus environment where all buildings have the same service address and rate center using a IP PBX/KSU, then Customer acknowledges and agrees that when 911 is dialed, the call will be routed to the appropriate PSAP based on the primary service address of the calling ANI. | ||
b. | If Customer purchases VoIP Service in a single-site tenant or hotel configuration with a IP PBX/KSU, it is responsible for complying with all applicable emergency 911 laws. The latter may include state or local laws that require it (as owner of the IP PBX) to implement PS/ALI to ensure required E-911 support for multiple user configurations to enable station level 911 ANI and ALI display. | ||
c. | If Customer purchases VoIP Service is a geographically-distributed multi-site environment using an IP PBX, then only Long Distance Voice Service will be available and Customer will be responsible for obtaining separate Local service as set forth in Section 3.3.1 in the Service Attachment. |
P. | Additional Terms and Conditions for Hosted IP Centrex. |
1. | E-911 ó Calling Limitations. |
a. | E-911 provided via IP Integrated Access will pass ANI and the registered primary service address of that ANI as ALI. If VoIP Service is provided to a campus environment where all buildings have the same service address and rate center using a TDM PBX/KSU, then Customer acknowledges and agrees that when 911 is dialed, the call will be routed to the appropriate PSAP based on the primary service address of the calling ANI. | ||
b. | If Customer purchases VoIP Service in a single-site tenant or hotel configuration with a TDM PBX/KSU, it is responsible for complying with all applicable emergency 911 laws. The latter may include state or local laws that require it (as owner of the TDM PBX) to implement PS/ALI to ensure required E-911 support for multiple user configurations to enable station level 911 ANI and ALI display | ||
c. | If Customer purchases VoIP Services in a geographically-distributed multi-site environment using a TDM PBX or Key System, then only Long Distance Voice Service will be available and Customer will be responsible for obtaining separate Local service as set forth in Section 3.3.1 in the Service Attachment. |
2. | E-911 ó Limitations on Mobility. |
Page 19 of 121
a. | When 911 is dialed on an IP phone used with VoIP Service, the call is routed to the appropriate PSAP based on the primary service address of the ANI for the customer's configuration. Therefore, if moved to a new location, Customer must report the change of location and the phone may need to be reconfigured in order for an E-911 call to be routed to the appropriate PSAP. If Customer moves an IP phone without reporting the change of location or moves an IP phone outside Verizon's E-911 service area, VoIP Service may be suspended until Customer informs Verizon of the change or moves the IP phone back within Verizon's E-911 service area. | ||
b. | Change in Registered Location. Any of Customer's end users who want to use a VoIP Service-enabled IP phone other than at its current registered location, must call Verizon's Customer Service Center at 877-769-8956 (or at such number as Verizon subsequently informs Customer) in order to process a Move/Change service order to be re-registered for the new location. These procedures may require a change in the end user's telephone number. Moving an IP phone may cause the phone's IP address to change. Turning the power to a phone off and then back on, or unplugging it and then plugging it back in may also cause the IP address to change. A change in an IP phone's IP address indicates to Verizon that the phone may have been moved. Verizon may, but is not obligated to, monitor the IP phone's IP address. If Verizon detects that an IP phone's IP address has changed, and Verizon is unable to confirm that the IP phone has not been moved, Verizon will conclude the phone has been moved and will suspend VoIP Services to that phone. VoIP Service will remain suspended to that phone until Customer has confirmed to Verizon that the IP phone is at its registered location, or until a new fixed location within Verizon's coverage area has been registered for the location to which that end user's phone has been moved. End users with suspended VoIP Service will only be able to call Verizon's Customer Service Center or make outbound 911 calls; however, the call will be rerouted to the emergency service provider associated with the registered location. |
3. | Service Disclaimer. Customer understands that use of Hosted IP Centrex VoIP Service is restricted in the following manner: |
ï | Customer may not utilize VoIP Service in any call center environment or in connection with any similar such application. | ||
ï | Customer may not use VoIP Service for telemarketing, fax broadcasting, fax blasting or continuous or extensive call forwarding. | ||
ï | Customer may not aggregate traffic from multiple sites into a single site configured with Hosted IP Centrex VoIP Service. | ||
ï | Customer's design may not be configured with more than [**] oversubscription, i.e., no more than [**] DIDs per simultaneous call. | ||
ï | Customers may not utilize continuous or extensive call forwarding. | ||
ï | Customer may not utilize auto-dialers or any similar type of device in connection with VoIP service. |

i. | Availability. Managed Site Availability is based on the total number of minutes in a billing month during which the Managed Site is unavailable to exchange data between all Managed WAN Services sites, divided by the total number of minutes in that month. Sites are considered available whether data is passing through the primary connection or through a back up connection. Availability is based on the total number of minutes per billing month and site design: |
ï | No backup ó Measures the site availability for sites that have no ISDN, Analog dial, or other backup through diverse circuits | ||
ï | ISDN backup ó Measures the site availability for sites that have ISDN dial, Analog dial, or other backup | ||
ï | Dual router, dual circuit backup ó Measures the site availability for sites that have 2 connected routers running hot standby routing protocol ("HSRP") each with a separate diverse circuit, one router with a primary circuit, and the other router with an ISDN dial, Analog dial, or other diverse circuit. | ||
1. | Calculation. Availability is the percentage of time that the Customer's site is available within a given billing month. Availability only applies to Network Outages. |
Monthly Managed Site Availability (%) = | |||
1 Minus ( Total minutes of site Network Outage per month / # days in month x 24 hrs x 60 min ) x 100% |
2. | Credit Structure and Amounts. Customers will be credited for Managed WAN Service MRCs for the affected site. |

II. | Terms and Conditions. |
A. | General Description of Internet Dedicated ó Managed Services. Internet Dedicated ó Managed Service overlays management services (implementation and ongoing support) for Internet dedicated access solutions and associated customer premise-based equipment ("CPE") (collectively "Customer's Network"). Verizon will provide the Internet Dedicated ó Managed Services in the locations ordered by Customer. The Internet Dedicated ó Managed Services will be performed by Verizon or through its agents and subcontractors on a commercially reasonable basis. |
1. | Design Services. Verizon will create a Managed Service design with Customer's input and approval. Verizon will activate, monitor, and manage Customer's Network in reasonable conformance with the design. Verizon will prepare the platform necessary to monitor Customer's Network and activate the routers to be managed. | ||
2. | Managed Implementation. At Customer's request and for the non-recurring charge listed herein, Verizon will provide on-site installation ("Managed Implementation") for Verizon-provided rental CPE, or uninstalled Customer-provided CPE. | ||
3. | Managed Take-Over. With Managed Take-Over, Verizon reviews, optimizes or takes over management of a Customer's existing router or network. Due diligence is the first step of the process which involves collecting and analyzing the logical and physical characteristics for the existing Customer network, as well as its related equipment or assets. The due diligence process is generally accomplished in a non-intrusive manner. All router and network data must be provided by the Customer, including, but not limited to, Customer interviews, Customer-provided network diagrams, and site-specific information. Verizon will determine if Managed Take-Over can be approved during the due diligence. Upon Verizon approval, Managed Take-Over may be supported on either Verizon network access or third party network access. | ||
4. | Monitoring and Management. Verizon provides fault management, configuration management, and security management and monitoring services for CPE managed under this Service Attachment ("Monitoring and Management"). Monitoring and Management is performed by Verizon's Network Operating Center ("NOC") 24 hours per day, seven days per week and is based on the International Standards Organization ("ISO") Management Framework. Management includes out-of-band ("OOB") management via a Customer-provided dedicated analog line and Verizon-provided OOB modem. | ||
5. | Maintenance. Verizon will provide 7x24 on-site CPE maintenance for Verizon-provided rental CPE only ("Equipment"). Customer must obtain 7x24 on site maintenance for Customer-supplied CPE and provide Verizon with necessary maintenance information on such CPE at the time the CPE is added to the Customer Network. Verizon will call out Customer's third party maintenance provider if Customer provides Verizon with maintenance provider details and with Letter of Agency ("LoA") authorizing Verizon to do so at time the CPE is added to the Customer Network. If Customer does not provide maintenance provider of LoA, of if Customer cannot provide 7x24 on-site maintenance, no service level agreements ("SLAs") will apply. |

3. | Service Level Agreement and Objectives Measurement Defined |
a. | Network & CPE Availability |
i. | Definition. Network Availability is defined as the total number of minutes in a billing month during which a specific circuit (including the IP Network infrastructure port and access circuit) and the customer premises equipment (CPE) is available to exchange data between end points, divided by the total number of minutes in a billing month for all managed network routers. The measure is calculated as the percentage of total time that the network is available within a month. If Verizon or a 3rd party vendor provides the router maintenance this guarantee includes the local access circuit, IP Service Network Infrastructure port, and the managed router. If no router maintenance is provided the Network & CPE Availability SLA excludes the managed router. | ||
ii. | Calculation. Network & CPE Availability is the percentage of time that the Customers network is available within a given billing month. Network & CPE Availability only applies to Hard Outages that are always classified as Service Restoration Priority 1. |
Monthly Network &
CPE Availability (%) = |
1 Minus |
( | Total Minutes of Network & CPE non-availability per month Total # managed routers x # days in month x 24 hrs x 60 min |
) | x100 |

iv. | CREDIT STRUCTURE AND AMOUNTS. IF VERIZON FAILS TO MEET THE NETWORK & CPE AVAILABILITY SLA, THE ACCOUNT WILL BE CREDITED THE PRO-RATED CHARGES, WHICH INCLUDE [**]. | ||
Requests for credit must be submitted in writing to the account team within [**] of opening a Trouble Ticket. In order for the outage to qualify for an SLA credit the request must contain the following information: |
ï | The date the outage occurred. | ||
ï | The time the outage began and ended. |
Page 66 of 121
ï | The Site(s) and Circuit ID(s) for each impacted. |
b. | Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) SLA |
i. | Definition. Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) is the average time to restore the Service during a Network outage. This is calculated as the period of time beginning when either the Customer or an Verizon engineer opens a trouble ticket and ending when service is restored (closing of a trouble ticket with the customer). If Verizon or a 3rd party vendor provides the router maintenance this guarantee includes the local access line, the IP Network infrastructure port, and the managed router. If no router maintenance is provided the MTTR SLA excludes the managed router. This commitment also covers loss of site network connectivity due to router software failure. | ||
ii. | Calculation. The Customer's MTTR will be based on the cumulative time of network outage time per circuit and calculated as an average for the applicable monthly billing period. This time commences with the initiation of a trouble ticket that is opened by Verizon or the Customer, and concludes with the restoration of service. |
Managed Router Monthly Mean Time to Repair (Hrs.) =
|
Cumulative length of Network non-availability per circuit Total number of Trouble Tickets per circuit during the billing month |
iii. | CREDIT STRUCTURE AND AMOUNTS. THE CREDIT CALCULATION IS BASED ON THE AVERAGE REPAIR TIMES FOR CIRCUIT OUTAGES WITHIN A CALENDAR MONTH. CUSTOMERS WILL BE CREDITED FOR MONTHLY RECURRING CHARGES FOR AFFECTED MANAGED SERVICE, DEDICATED INTERNET ACCESS CIRCUITS AND IP SERVICE NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE PORT FEES. EXAMPLE CREDITS START WHEN THE AVERAGE MTTR REACHES [**]. | ||
Requests for credit must be submitted in writing to the account team within [**] of opening a Trouble Ticket. In order for the outage to qualify for an SLA credit the request must contain the following information: |

c. | Network Latency SLA |
i. | Definition. Verizon's U.S. Latency service commitment averages round-trip transmissions of [**] or less between Verizon-designated inter-regional transit backbone routers ("Hub Routers") in the contiguous U.S. |
Page 67 of 121
ii. | Calculation. Network Latency is measured by averaging sample measurements taken during a calendar month between Hub Routers. Network performance statistics relating to U.S. Latency performance statistics are posted at the following location: www.verizonbusiness.com/terms | ||
iii. | Credit Structure and Amount. Verizon's failure to meet any Network Latency service commitment in a calendar month this will result in the Customer's account being automatically credited for that month. The credit will consist of [**]. |
d. | Denial of Service |
i. | Definition. Verizon will respond to Denial of Service attacks reported by Customer within [**] of Customer opening a complete trouble ticket with Verizon Customer Support. To open a trouble ticket for Denial of Service, the Customer must call Verizon at 1-800-900-0241 (Option 4) and state: "I am under a Denial of Service Attack." A complete trouble ticket consists of Customer's Name, Account Number, Caller Name, Caller Phone Number, Caller Email Address and Possible Destination IP address/type of Attack. Verizon shall use trouble tickets and other appropriate Verizon records to determine, in its sole judgment, in SLA compliance. Customer must notify Verizon no later than 30 days after the Denial of Service attack(s) occurred. | ||
ii. | Calculation. Verizon characterizes a Denial of Service attack as more than [**]% bandwidth utilization. | ||
iii. | Credit Structure and Amounts. If Verizon fails to meet the denial of Service Responses SLA, the Customer's account will be credited, at the Customer's request, for the [**]. |
e. | Network Packet Delivery |
i. | Definition. Verizon's North American Network Packet Delivery SLA is packet delivery of [**]% or greater between Verizon designated Hub Routers in North America. This SLA measurers the unit of data sent across the network. | ||
ii. | Calculation. Packet Delivery is measured by averaging sample measurements taken during a calendar month between Hub Routers. Each month's Network performance statistics relating to the Network Packet Delivery SLAs shall be posted at: www.verizonbusiness.com/terms. | ||
iii. | Credit Structure and Amounts. If Verizon fails to meet the Network Packet Delivery SLA in a calendar month this will result in the Customer's account being automatically credited for that month. The credit will consist of [**]. |
f. | Network Jitter |
i. | Definition. Verizon's North American Network jitter performance will not exceed [**] between Verizon designated inter-regional transit backbone network routers Hub routers in the contiguous U.S. Jitter is defined as the variation or difference in the end-to-end delay between received packets of an IP or packet stream. Jitter is usually caused by imperfections in hardware or software optimization and varying traffic conditions and loading Excessive delay variation in packet streams usually results in additional packet loss, which impacts quality. | ||
ii. | Calculation. Jitter shall be measured by averaging sample measurements taken during a calendar month between Hub Routers. Each month's Network performance statistics relating to the Network Jitter SLAs shall be posted at www.verizonbusiness.com/terms. |
Page 68 of 121
iii. | Credit Structure and Amounts. If Verizon fails to meet the Network Jitter commitment in a calendar month this will result in the Customer's account being automatically credited for that month. The credit will consist of [**]. |
g. | U.S. Domestic Service Installation SLA |
i. | Definition. Verizon's Service Installation SLA is for Verizon ordered telephone company circuit, activation of an Verizon port, and installation of the managed router to be completed within [**] for T1 services and [**] for T3 services. | ||
ii. | Calculation. The install date shall be counted from the date Verizon has received all of the following from Customer: signed contract (e.g., Service Agreement or Amendment), completed Customer Information Form, and (if requested by Verizon) completed credit application. | ||
iii. | Credit Structure and Amounts. To claim a credit, Customer must request it by calling the Billing Inquiry/Trouble telephone number on its invoice. At the time of this call, Customer must provide the company name, account number, circuit ID, Service, contact name and number, email address, SLA install date, and the actual install date in order to process the request. If Verizon determines in its reasonable commercial judgment that there is a Circuit Install SLA non-compliance, at Customer's request, Customer's invoice will be credited an amount equal to [**]% of Verizon's billed install charge, to include any applicable Internet Port/service install charges and Verizon ordered and billed access install charges for the service for which the SLA is not compliant. |
h. | Proative Outage Notification SLA |
i. | Definition. Verizon provides two types of reporting commitments. |
1. | Network Outage Notification: Network provides Customer notification within [**] after it is determined that service is unavailable. Unavailability is triggered by the receipt of a network alarm form Verizon's Network Management System; this is the device by which Verizon identifies that a network outage has occurred. Verizon's standard procedure is to ping Customer's router every [**]. If the router does not respond after [**] ping cycles, Verizon will deem the service unavailable and the Customer's point of contact will be notified by e-mail or pager, as elected by Verizon. | ||
2. | Scheduled Maintenance Notification: provides customer notification on any maintenance at the UUNET hub to which Customer's circuit is connected (a) of which Customer is notified [**] in advance, and (b) that is performed during a standard maintenance window. The standard maintenance window is Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 AM to 6 AM local time of the UUNET hub to which the circuit is connected. Notice of Scheduled Maintenance will be provided to Customer's designated point of contact by e-mail or pager, as elected by Verizon. |
Proactive Outage Notifications are only available for service provided entirely in the contiguous U.S. Customer is solely responsible for providing Verizon accurate and current contact information for their designated points of contact. | |||
ii. | Calculation |
Page 69 of 121
ï | Network Outage Notification: Within [**] after it is determined that service is unavailable. | ||
ï | Scheduled Maintenance Notification: Provides customer notification [**] in advance. |
iii. | Credit Structure and Amounts. If Verizon fails to meet the Proactive Outage Notification SLA, at Customer's request, the account shall be credited the [**]. | ||
In order to receive a credit on the Proactive Outage Notification SLA, the customer must request the Service Level Agreement credit in writing from the Account Team within [**] of the service outage. The written documentation must contain the following: |
1. | The date the site and circuit outage occurred | ||
2. | The time the site and circuit outage began and ended | ||
3. | The site(s) and circuit ID(s) for each that did not receive notification within the Proactive Outage Notification SLA time frame. |
4. | Credit Application Process |
a. | SLA for Managed Interned Dedicated Access. Customer can request to have compliance checked for all of the standard SLA commitments when requesting credits in any given month. Verizon's calculations will be used to determine if an SLA has been missed and a credit is due to a customer. Verizon will credit the customer's account within [**] following Verizon's confirmation of non-compliance with the SLA. | ||
b. | Process for Customers to Apply for SLA Credits. The customer completes two steps in order to have an outage qualify for a Service Level Agreement credit. First, a trouble ticket needs to be opened in response to service issues. The second step is to request the credit in writing from the account team contact. |
i. | Opening a Trouble Ticket. A Trouble Ticket is required to record the event of a Network Outage. Routinely Verizon Managed Services Operations will generate a trouble ticket for the Customer. The Customer could also notify the appropriate Verizon Customer Service Center or use its Web-based tool to also initiate a trouble ticket. The number for the assigned Customer Service Center is printed on the customer's invoice. Access to the Web-based tool can be requested at the first use or anytime thereafter by contacting your Account Team. | ||
ii. | Service Level Agreement Credit Time Limitation. The customer has options regarding the service after [**] of non-compliance on the part of Verizon for the Service Level Agreement. |
1. | The customer may elect to continue the service for the site inclusive of the credit provided, however, a customer is limited to [**] of credits for any individual SLA within a 12-month period. | ||
2. | The customer may elect to discontinue service without liability except for charges incurred prior to discontinuation of the service. In order to cancel service, the customer must submit a written disconnect notice to their Verizon Account Team within [**] following the end of either the third or subsequent consecutive month of Verizon's failure to meet the SLA. | ||
Verizon has the right to terminate its performance obligations under this MSIDA-SLA at any time after the third consecutive month of non-compliance for any individual SLA. |

A. | General. The provisions of the Guide relating to Customer Premises Equipment or "CPE" (the "CPE Terms") will apply to any Customer order to Verizon for one or more of the following CPE services, in the U.S. Mainland only, during the term of the Agreement of which this service attachment is a part: (i) purchase; (ii) purchase, installation and maintenance subject to third-party lease; (iii) monthly rental, (iv) term rental, (v) installation service, (vi) maintenance service, and (vii) maintenance takeover service. Order need not be signed but Verizon will send Customer a written confirmation (including email) before processing the order. Certain current Guide terms regarding CPE are described in part below (without limitation). | ||
B. | Pricing and Payment. Customer will pay the rate stated on Verizon's documentation of an order for installation; purchase; and the purchase and installation elements of purchase, installation and maintenance subject to third-party lease; provided that the rate is current ó i.e., was first quoted within [**] of the order's submission. For other CPE Services, Customer also will pay the rate stated on Verizon's order documentation, subject to the following. After expiration of any service term commitment by Customer for a particular unit of Equipment, Verizon may change the rates and will provide [**] notice any increase. Any charges for such CPE do not contribute to the AVC or any other minimum purchase requirement. | ||
C. | Title and Risk of Loss. Title to each item of equipment under purchase or purchase, installation and maintenance subject to third-party lease, passes to Customer upon Verizon's receipt of full payment for that item of equipment. Customer bears the risk of loss or damage to rental CPE after installation and while such equipment is located at an installation site and shall pay Verizon the reasonable and customary costs of repair or replacement if loss or damage occurs. | ||
D. | Maintenance. Verizon has the exclusive right maintain CPE subject to maintenance under this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that it is Customer's responsibility to replace (or support) CPE when it is no longer supported by the CPE manufacturer ("Unsupported CPE"). Maintenance service for Unsupported CPE is limited to the level of service Verizon can provide using commercially reasonable efforts: | ||
E. | Customer Responsibilities. Customer hereby authorizes Verizon or its assignee to endorse Customer's name upon any uniform Commercial code filings reasonably necessary to protect the interests of Verizon, its contractors or assignees, if any, in the CPE. Verizon and its contractors are not responsible or liable for Customer's failure to provide backup power, or to adequately duplicate or document files or for data or files lost during the course of performance of maintenance services. Customer will provide a physical and electrical environment for the CPE that meets Verizon specifications and provide Verizon full access to the CPE. Customer shall not move or remove any item of CPE maintained under the CPE Terms without Verizon's prior written consent. For rental CPE, Customer shall provide insurance meeting Verizon's requirements. Customer shall not do anything inconsistent with Verizon's or its assignee's interest in the CPE. | ||
F. | Warranties, Limitations of Liability and Force Majeure. Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Verizon, its affiliates and their respective employees, officers agents or contractors against any damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by any of them (including expenses and costs incurred by Verizon in enforcing the CPE Terms) arising out of Customer's or its employees', contractors' or agents' acts, omissions or breaches of any obligations hereunder, or its use of the CPE or maintenance services in a manner not intended under the CPE Terms. Verizon warrants that any cables and connectors between the CPE and any other equipment on Customer's premises that are provided by Verizon will be in good working order for a period of [**] after installation unless the failure of such cables and connectors is caused by Customer's misuse or abuse. Verizon warrants that maintenance service will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner. Customer's sole remedy for a breach of that warranty is for Verizon to reperform the defective work. Except as specifically set forth in the |
Page 75 of 121
CPE Terms, all CPE provided by Verizon is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. Verizon makes no warranties, express or implied, as to any CPE equipment or related product/service or documentation. Verizon specifically disclaims any and all implied warranties, including without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or noninfringement of third-party rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the end user warranties and sublicenses, if any, of the equipment manufacturer pass through Verizon and inure to the benefit of Customer. Neither party is responsible for a failure to perform resulting from Force Majeure but no Force Majeure relieves Customer of its obligation to make payments for involved amounts. In no event will Verizon be obliged to provide credits for service interruptions to Verizon communication services provided to Customer as a result of any act or failure to act under this Agreement. | |||
G. | Term, Termination and Early Termination Charge. |
1. | If either party materially or repeatedly defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under the aspects of this Agreement that apply to CPE and does not substantially cure that default within 10 days of being given notice of it, then the other party may terminate the aspects of this Agreement that apply to CPE (without affecting the remainder of the Agreement), as of a date specified in its notice of termination. | ||
2. | Upon termination, Verizon has the right to exercise one or more of the following remedies, in addition to any other remedies Verizon may exercise, in law or equity: (1) recover from Customer all amounts due and unpaid, and (2) repossesses any CPE for which title has not passed to Customer. Upon termination, Customer must remove Customer-owned CPE. Customer must return or dispose of rented CPE in accordance with Verizon's requirements within 5 business days after the expiration or termination of the CPE Terms (as a whole or with respect to a particular item of Equipment), or the actual termination of service under the CPE Terms if Customer and Verizon have agreed to it occurring before the 30 day notice period has expired, whichever is sooner. Customer is liable for any loss or damage to CPE resulting from theft, disappearance, fire or any other cause. For each item of CPE not returned, for any reason, within the 5 day period, Customer will be deemed to have purchased such CPE and shall pay Verizon the replacement cost, plus any additional costs incurred by Verizon in replacing the CPE. | ||
3. | If Customer terminates a unit of CPE service before the end of a service term commitment, Customer will pay, without limitation (a) an amount equal to the monthly recurring charges for the terminated unit of service for each month remaining in the service term commitment, and (ii) any credits received by Customer with respect to that unit. |
H. | Export and Legal Compliance. Customer acknowledges that certain equipment, software and technical data which may be provided under this Agreement may be subject to export and re-export controls under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and/or similar regulations of the U.S. or any other country.

3. | Verizon will not insure or be responsible for any loss or damage to property of any kind owned or leased by Customer or by its employees and agents other than losses or damages proximately resulting from Verizon's negligence or willful misconduct. Any Customer insurance policy covering the Equipment against loss or physical damage will expressly provide that the policy's underwriters waive their rights of subrogation against Verizon, the Facility landlord, and their respective directors, officers and employees (the "Providers"), except for such loss or physical damage proximately caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Providers.

I. | Force Majeure. Force Majeure terms and conditions regarding Data Center Services are set forth in the Guide. If the Space is damaged due to a force majeure event, Verizon will give prompt |
Page 88 of 121
notice to Customer of such damage, and may temporarily relocate the Equipment to new Space or a new Facility, if practicable. If the Facility's landlord or Verizon terminates Verizon's right to use a Space due to damage or destruction of the Space, or if Verizon decides not to rebuild the Space, the applicable Service order will terminate as of the date of the force majeure event. In the event of such termination, or a temporary cessation of Service caused by a force majeure event, MRCs for the affected Service will proportionately abate for the period from the date of the force majeure event and, in the case of temporary cessation, re-commerce upon the re-commencement of Service. If neither the landlord of the Facility nor Verizon terminates Verizon's right to use a Space, and if Verizon decides to rebuild the Space, Verizon will repair the Space to substantially the same condition it was in prior to the damage, completing the same with reasonable speed. If Verizon does not complete the repair within a reasonable time period, Customer may terminate the applicable Service order for the affected Space, which termination is Customer's sole remedy. If the Space or any portion of its is rendered untenable by a force majeure event, the MRC for the affected Service will proportionately abate until the Space is repaired or the Equipment relocated. |

Credits are not cumulative month to month. If the SLA issue exceeds 30 days, the same schedule applies for each consecutive month. The total credit percentage that will be applied against the total MRC for the Managed IP PBX Service for all failures to meet the SLAs within a month at a Site will not exceed [**]% of total MRC for the Managed IP PBX Service for the affected month at such Site. Verizon's data and calculations will be used to determine if an SLA has been missed and a credit is due. Verizon will issue a credit within [**] if it determines that a credit is due. When attributes are shared with another Verizon managed service (e.g. router with managed WAN and Call Manager Express) only one payout qualifies for credit payout. |

8.1 | Third Party Products and Services. Verizon may direct Customer to third parties having products or services which may be of interest to Customer for use in conjunction with the Services. Notwithstanding any Verizon recommendation, referral or introduction, Customer will independently investigate and test third-party products and services and will have sole |

Without limiting the liability disclaimers in the preceding subsection and the Master Terms, the total liability of Verizon (including subcontractors, consultants and suppliers) to Customer may not exceed the total amount paid by Customer to Verizon directly attributable to the elements of the Project forming the basis of the Claim, except that this limitation does not apply to actual, direct damages to real property or tangible personal property or for personal injury or death, resulting from Verizon's negligence or willful misconduct. Under no circumstances will either party be liable for damages that could have been avoided by the other party's exercise of reasonable diligence. No party may assert a Claim against the other under any theory that accrued more than one year before bringing a formal proceeding asserting the Claim. |
9. | INTERCONNECTION. Customer will permit Verizon to connect diagnostic software and equipment ("Diagnostic Facilities") to Customer's communications network and equipment ("Customer Network") for purposes of performing the Services. Verizon has no liability or obligation for: (a) the installation, operation or maintenance of the Customer Network; (b) the availability, capacity and/or condition of the Customer Network; or (c) any adverse impact of the Services on the Customer Network. The Diagnostic Facilities will remain the property of Verizon, and Customer will not have any right or interest in them. Customer may not move, alter, or attach anything to the Diagnostic Facilities without Verizon's prior written consent. Customer is responsible for any damage to or loss of the Diagnostic Facilities from all causes, unless caused solely by Verizon's negligence or willful misconduct. | |
10. | INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. The parties are independent contractors to one another, and nothing in this Agreement creates an agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between them. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employer-employee relationship between Customer and either Verizon or any employee or agent of Verizon. |
