    2. TERM OF SERVICE. The initial term of service shall begin on the Commencement Date and continue for the duration of the term as defined in this Agreement. Individual Terms of Service for each order shall be made part of any Service Order. In the event the SO does not specify a length of years for the initial term of Services, the initial term of Service is thirty six (36) months.
    3. RENEWAL. This Agreement and all Services shall automatically renew for a term of twelve (12) months, unless one party notifies the other party in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term of its intention to not renew this Agreement.
    4. PROVISION OF SERVICES. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Maxsip shall provide to Customer the Services solely for Customer's own use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party. Customer may allow its employees, agents, and other users to access the Services on Customer's behalf, provided Customer communicates the terms and conditions of this Agreement to all potential users, and obtains from each user (or, in the case of a minor user, from the parent or legal guardian) a substantively equivalent agreement that limits the liability of Maxsip as described in this Agreement. Customer takes full responsibility for the use of the Services by any minors and hereby consents to such minors' use of the Services. The Services provided by Maxsip to the Customer are not for resale without the prior written agreement of Maxsip. In the event the Customer attempts to sell the Services, including the routing of Internet Protocol traffic from other individuals or organizations, Maxsip must be notified. In such case, Maxsip may, at its sole discretion, increase the fees associated with the Services rendered hereunder, or terminate this Agreement, pursuant to the termination provisions contained in these Terms and Conditions.
    5. PROHIBITION ON RESALE. If Customer has subscribed to Maxsip’s Services, the Service and Device are provided to Customer as a user. This means that Customer is not to resell or transfer the service or device to any other person for any purpose, without express written permission from Maxsip in advance. Customer agrees that the Maxsip Plans do not confer the right to use the service for auto-dialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, telemarketing (including without limitation charitable or political solicitation or polling), fax broadcasting or fax blasting. Maxsip reserves the right to immediately terminate or modify the Service, if Maxsip determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer's Service is being used for any of the aforementioned activities beyond normal usage for that class of customer.
    6. UPGRADES AND SUPPORT. From time to time, Maxsip may (and has the right to) send information and offers to Customer and its users about upgrades, documentation and other services offered by Maxsip. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise agreed in writing, under no circumstances shall Maxsip have any obligation to provide Customer with upgrades, enhancements, modifications, or support for the Services other than as set forth herein.
    7. QUOTATION FOR SERVICES. Quotations for Maxsip Services are valid for one (1) month from the date on the quotation. If the quotation is set to expire in less than one (1) month, a specific expiration date will be noted on the quotation itself. Customer executed quotations thereby become Service Orders and made part of this Agreement.
    8. Customer agrees and understands that monthly fees do not include on-site support. See Section 2 for rates and charges associated with on-site visits.
    9. EMERGENCY SERVICES – 911 DIALING. Enhanced 911 or E911 service is a North American telecommunications based system that automatically associates a physical address with the calling party's telephone number, and routes the call to the most appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for that address. The caller’s address and information is displayed to the PSAP calltaker immediately upon call arrival. This provides emergency responders with the location of the emergency without the person calling for help having to provide it. It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to make sure that the proper physical address for their location is associated with their phone number. If the physical address changes, or Customer transfers the phone number out of their location, they must notify Maxsip of the address change in order for E911 to operate properly. The system only works in North America if 911 is called. Calls made to other telephone numbers, even though they may be listed as an emergency telephone number, may not permit this feature to function correctly.
      1. All Customers are automatically enrolled in E911 services and are charged a one time setup fee of $15.00 and a recurring monthly fee of $1.95 for the E911 service. These fees are subject to change at any time. Customers may opt out of E911 service and must do so in writing.
      2. Customer acknowledges, understands and agrees that dialing 911 without having E911 service will result in a charge of $85.00 on their bill for each call made to 911.
      3. 411 DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE. All Customers are automatically enrolled in 411 Directory Assistance and are charged a one time setup fee of $30.00 and a recurring monthly fee of $1.95 for the 411 service. These fees are subject to change at any time. Customers may opt out of 411 service and must do so in writing. Each Customer may list one number in the 411 Directory. Customers may list additional numbers subject to a fee for each additional number to be listed.
      4. Customers calling 411 Directory Assistance will be billed $1.00 per 411 call. This fee is subject to change at any time.
  2. Customer Responsibilities
    1. Customer agrees to adhere at all times to the then current operating rules for each Service, or Services, as identified in the MSA, SO and applicable Supplemental Terms & Conditions for Service(s). Should Customer fail to comply with such operating rules, Maxsip reserves the right to terminate this Agreement, or any associated Service(s) upon written notice of such violations of the then current operating rules. Customer shall have thirty (30) days to cure such violations. Should such violations constitute a violation of local, state or federal rules, regulations or laws, Customer shall have five (5) days to cure such violations upon the delivery of written notice.

    5. In the event of any maintenance or repair visit to the Customer’s premises in response to a trouble report charges for maintenance and repair will charged based on the level of the problem from a minimum of $125.00 per hour to a maximum of $250.00 per hour during normal business hours defined as Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm.

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, Maxsip can also change rates, terms and conditions in this Agreement at any time by sending Customer written notice prior to the billing period in which the changes would go into effect. If Customer chooses to use Maxsip Services after that point, Customer thereby accepts the changes.
    2. In the event there is a ruling, regulation, or order issued by a judicial, legislative or regulatory body that causes Maxsip to believe that this Agreement may be in conflict with such rules, regulations, and orders, Maxsip may terminate or modify any or all of our Services and/or this Agreement immediately without notice.
    3. Maxsip’s failure at any time to insist upon strict compliance with any of the provisions of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such terms in the future.

    4. LIMITED PERFORMANCE WARRANTY.

  5. Governing Law/Resolution of Disputes

The arbitrator's decision shall follow the plain meaning of the relevant documents, and shall be final and binding. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that no arbitrator has the authority to: (i) award relief in excess of what this Agreement provides; or (ii) award punitive or exemplary damages. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All claims shall be arbitrated individually and Customer will not bring, or join any class action of any kind in court or in arbitration or seek to consolidate or bring previously consolidated claims in arbitration. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
    2. GOVERNING LAW. The Agreement and the relationship between Customer and Maxsip shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent court action is initiated to enforce an arbitration award or for any other reason consistent with Section 5a, Customer and Maxsip agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the state of New York and waive any objection as to venue or inconvenient forum. The failure of Maxsip to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. Customer agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
    3. SEVERABILITY. If any part of this Agreement is legally declared invalid or unenforceable, all other parts of this Agreement are still valid and enforceable. Such invalidity or non-enforceability will not invalidate or render unenforceable any other portion of this Agreement.
    4. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT. Maxsip may change the terms and conditions of this Agreement from time to time. Changes to this Agreement supersede all previously agreed to electronic and written Terms and Conditions.

    5. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sub-licensable by Customer except with Maxsip’s prior written consent. Maxsip may assign all or part of this Agreement or Customer debts to us without notice, and Customer agrees to make all subsequent payments as instructed.
    6. FORCE MAJEURE. Customer shall not hold Maxsip liable for any delay or failure on performance whatsoever due to acts of God, earthquakes, shortage of supplies, transportation difficulties, labor disputes, riots, war, fire, epidemics and similar occurrences beyond Maxsip’s reasonable control.
    7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
