4.
SERVICE USE AND
LIMITATIONS.
a. You acknowledge that you are 18 years of age or older, and you agree
that you have the legal authority to enter into this Agreement and
affirm that the information you supply to us is correct and complete.
You understand that AT Cyber Systems relies on the information you
supply and that providing false or incorrect information may result in
Service provisioning and delivery delays, the suspension or termination
of your Service and the inability of a 911-dialed call to be correctly
routed to emergency service personnel, as further explained below. You
agree to promptly notify AT Cyber Systems whenever your personal or
billing information changes (including, for example, your name,
address, e-mail address, telephone number, and credit card number and
expiration date).
b. You agree that you are responsible for all use on your account. You
understand this means that you accept full liability and responsibility
for the actions of anyone who uses the Service via your account, with
or without your permission. You acknowledge that AT Cyber Systems will
be sending you information via e-mail over the Internet. You agree that
the Internet is not a secure network and that third parties may be able
to intercept, access, use or corrupt the information and telephone
calls you transmit over the Internet. In order to maintain the security
of your Service, you should safeguard your User IDs and Passwords, as
well as the media access control (MAC) address of the Adapter. The MAC
address is one of the pieces of information used by AT Cyber Systems to
authenticate customer calls and should not be shared.
c. Residential Use of Service and Device. The Service is provided to
you as a residential user, for your personal, residential, non-business
and nonprofessional use. This means that you are not using it for any
commercial or governmental activities, profit-making or nonprofit,
including but not limited to home office, business, sales,
telecommuting, telemarketing, autodialing, continuous or extensive call
forwarding, fax broadcast, fax blasting or any other activity that
would be inconsistent with normal residential usage patterns. This also
means that you are not to resell or transfer the Service to any other
person for any purpose, or make any charge for the use of the Service,
without express written permission from AT Cyber Systems in advance. AT
Cyber Systems reserves the right to immediately terminate, change the
calling plan or modify the Service if AT Cyber Systems determines, in
its sole discretion, that you are using the Service for nonresidential
or commercial use. Usage in excess of 1,000 minutes in any month, shall
be considered above normal residential use and may be investigated and
subject to the conditions above. You acknowledge and understand that
you cannot make 500, 700, 900, 976, 0+ collect calls or dial-around
calls (e.g., 1010-XXXX). In addition, you understand that this service
does not support n11 calling with the exception of 411 and the limited
form of 911 described below.
d. You agree that your use of the Service, without limitation,
is your sole responsibility, is solely at your own risk and is subject
to all applicable local, state, national and international laws and
regulations. You agree that the Internet is not owned, operated or
managed by, or in any way affiliated with, AT Cyber Systems. You
further agree that AT Cyber Systems does not own or control all of the
various facilities and communications lines through which the Service
may be provided. You also agree to use the Service only within the
United States. This Service is not offered or shipped to any address
outside of the United States.
e. Loss of Service Due to Power or Broadband Failure. You
acknowledge and understand that the Service will not function in the
event of power failure. Should there be an interruption in the power
supply, the Service will not function until power is restored. A power
failure or disruption may require you to reset or reconfigure equipment
prior to utilizing the Service. In addition, since the Service is
dependent on the broadband connection, the availability of an adequate
power supply and correct Equipment configuration, AT Cyber Systems does
not guarantee that the Service will be continuous or error-free. AT
Cyber Systems will not offer credits for service failures due to power
outages or disruptions in your broadband connection.
f. International Calling. You will be able to make calls to
destinations outside the United States. Charges for calls to Canada,
Mexico and all other international locations will be added to your
monthly invoice at reduced rates, which are available on the Web site.
Information on current international rates is also available by
contacting AT Cyber Systems Customer Care at 815-758-9700. The current
charges and rates for international calling and terms and conditions of
use thereof are incorporated into this Agreement. AT Cyber Systems
reserves the right to block calls to certain countries in the event we
determine that such calls may be linked to fraudulent or illegal
activities or in the event a country places any other restrictions on
Internet traffic.
g. This Service is solely for the use of authorized users. Use
of this Service may be monitored to insure proper operation and for
other quality purposes, to prevent or address misuse, or to meet
obligations imposed under applicable laws, regulations or orders. You
acknowledge and understand that this Agreement is sufficient notice to
you of such monitoring to the extent any notice is required under
applicable state or federal law.
h. Incompatibility with Home Security Systems and Certain Other
Non-Voice Communications Equipment. You acknowledge and understand that
the Service is not compatible with all non-voice communications
equipment, including but not limited to, some home security systems
that are set up to make automatic phone calls, some aspects of
satellite TV systems, digital entertainment systems, fax machines,
modems and medical monitoring devices. By accepting this Agreement, you
waive any claim you may have against AT Cyber Systems for interference
with or disruption of such systems due to the Service.
5.
PRIVACY POLICY. The
Service utilizes, in whole or in part, the public Internet and
third-party networks to transmit voice and other communications. You
acknowledge and understand that AT Cyber Systems cannot guarantee that
voice-over Internet protocol communication is completely secure. AT
Cyber Systems will treat your personal information in accordance with
current Government Privacy Policy as associated with this Agreement.
6.
LIMITATIONS ON EMERGENCY
RESPONSE SERVICES – TRADITIONAL 911 AND E911 NOT AVAILABLE.
a. YOU MUST MAINTAIN AN ALTERNATE MEANS OF REQUESTING EMERGENCY
SERVICES. You acknowledge and understand that CyberTalk does NOT
support traditional 911 and E911 access to emergency services. The
limited emergency response service accessible by CyberTalk differs in a
number of important ways from traditional emergency response services
as further explained below. You must maintain an alternate means of
accessing traditional emergency response services. You agree to inform
any household residents, guests and other third persons who may be
present at the physical location where the Service is utilized as to
the important limitations on emergency response service.
b. The Emergency Response Service Will Not Receive Automated Number and
Location Identification. You acknowledge and understand that when you
call 911 using the Service, the local emergency personnel receiving
your call will not be able to identify your phone number or the
physical address from which you are calling. You will need to state the
nature of your emergency promptly and clearly, including your telephone
number and location. You acknowledge and understand that the individual
answering the call may not be able to call you back or find your
location if the call is unable to be completed, is dropped or
disconnected, or if you are unable to tell them your phone number and
physical location and/or if the Service is not operational for any
reason, including without limitation those reasons listed elsewhere in
this Agreement.
c. You Must Register Your Correct Service Address for the Limited
Emergency Response Service. You acknowledge and understand that your
failure to provide the current and correct physical address and
location of your Equipment as the Service Address will result in any
emergency calls you make being routed to the incorrect local emergency
service provider. During the ordering process, you will provide AT
Cyber Systems the physical address where you will use your Service.
When you dial 911 with CyberTalk, your call will be routed to the
general telephone number for the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)
or local emergency service personnel designated for the Service Address
you have registered with AT Cyber Systems. You acknowledge and
understand that you may not be routed to a dispatcher who is
specifically trained and designated to receive incoming emergency
response calls, and it is possible that the lines at the PSAP will be
occupied and that you will get a busy signal.
d. Emergency Calls from a Location Other Than Your Service Address May
Not Be Directed Correctly to a Local Emergency Service Provider. You
acknowledge and understand that if you use your Equipment and the
Service to call 911 from a location other than the Service Address that
you have registered with AT Cyber Systems (e.g., if you move or use the
Service while you are traveling), unless you have completed
registration of such location as described in Section 6.e below, your
call will not be routed to the correct local emergency service
provider. The provider to whom any such 911 calls are routed will be
unable to transfer the call to a local emergency service provider in
the area from which you are calling.
e. You Must Update Your Service Address If You Move or If You Use the
Service from a New Location. You acknowledge and understand that the
limited emergency response service will not route your emergency calls
to the correct local emergency service provider unless and until you
have registered your new physical location by updating your Service
Address by calling Customer Service at 815-758-9700, and AT Cyber
Systems has completed the registration process by updating all
appropriate systems. This process may take up to five (5) days. You
acknowledge and understand that until your new address is fully
registered, your 911 calls using the Service will continue to be
directed to the local emergency service provider for the physical
address previously provided to AT Cyber Systems.
f. Power or Broadband Service Outage. You acknowledge and understand
that a power or broadband service outage will prevent ALL Service,
including the dialing of 911. Should there be an interruption in the
power supply, CyberTalk, including the limited emergency response
service, will not function until power is restored. A power failure or
disruption may require you to reset or reconfigure equipment prior to
utilizing CyberTalk or the limited emergency response service.
g. Service Outage Due to Suspension of Your Account. You acknowledge
and understand that a service outage due to suspension of your account
as a result of billing issues or any other reason, including, but not
limited to those reasons described elsewhere in this Agreement, will
prevent ALL Service, including the limited emergency response service.
h. Possibility of Network Congestion and/or Reduced Speed for Routing
Emergency Calls. You acknowledge and understand that calls made using
the limited emergency response service of CyberTalk may be subject to
network congestion and/or reduced routing speed.
7.
LOCAL NUMBER
PORTABILITY. In the event you are transferring an existing phone number
that currently is subscribed to a carrier other than AT Cyber Systems
for local service, the following terms and conditions apply:
a) You hereby authorize AT Cyber Systems to process your order for the
Service and to notify your local telephone company of your decision to
switch your local services to the Service and to transfer your
telephone number, and represent that you are authorized to take these
actions.
b) You agree and acknowledge that you must install and activate your
Equipment prior to the date that the number switch becomes effective
(“Port Effective Date”).
c) AT Cyber Systems has the right to refuse to import a number if, in
its sole discretion, it does not have the infrastructure to support the
number. You will be assigned a temporary telephone number until your
transfer is completed. You may place and receive calls using this
temporary number until such time as your phone number is transferred.
8.
TERM AND TERMINATION.
a. Effective Date and Term. This Agreement goes into effect upon your
acceptance of this Agreement and shall continue, subject to the terms
of this Paragraph, until terminated by either party as permitted by
this Agreement.
b. AT Cyber Systems Offers the Following Money-Back Guarantee. AT Cyber
Systems offers a thirty (30) day money-back guarantee period which
begins either when you activate your AT Cyber Systems-provided Adapter
or seven (7) days after you order the Service, whichever is earlier
(the “Guarantee Period”). During the Guarantee Period, if you have used
fewer than 400 minutes of domestic usage, you may cancel the Service
and receive a full refund of any account setup fee, all monthly charges
paid to AT Cyber Systems, and any amounts remaining in your Extra
Services Account that you deposited. If you cancel within the Guarantee
Period, but have used more than 400 minutes of domestic usage, you may
cancel the Service and receive a refund of any account setup fee paid
to AT Cyber Systems. Shipping and handling charges will not be
refunded. If you cancel within the Guarantee Period, AT Cyber Systems
will require you to return the Equipment. Failure to return the
Equipment in working condition in the prepaid envelope that AT Cyber
Systems will provide to you will result in a charge to you, as
explained to you during the ordering process. If you terminate this
Agreement after the Guarantee Period, you may keep the AT Cyber
Systems-provided Equipment, but you will not be entitled to a refund of
any kind.
c. Termination of Service. Either you or AT Cyber Systems may terminate
this Agreement without cause by giving notice to the other in
accordance with the notice provision set forth in this Agreement.
Termination of Service by you will be effective upon your notice to AT
Cyber Systems. If this Agreement is terminated after the expiration of
the Guarantee Period, but prior to the end of the first year of
Service, you will be charged an Early Termination Fee, as described to
you when you ordered the service. Termination by AT Cyber Systems shall
be effective thirty (30) days after the date of notice to you, except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement. With the exception of the
Money-Back Guarantee, AT Cyber Systems will not refund monthly charges
paid to AT Cyber Systems when the Service is terminated between billing
cycles.

in breach of any of the terms of this Agreement or any payment

malfunction to the Service, AT Cyber Systems network or the use and
enjoyment of other users; (3) AT Cyber Systems is required by a
judicial, legislative or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction to
suspend or terminate your Service; (4) a ruling, regulation, or order
is issued by a judicial, legislative or regulatory body that conflicts

offer the Service; or (6) you no longer meet the prerequisites for the
Service, then AT Cyber Systems may terminate or suspend your Service
immediately without notice. AT Cyber Systems shall have sole discretion
in its determination of whether any of the conditions (1) – (6) is met.
e. Terminated Account. AT Cyber Systems, in its sole discretion, may
refuse to accept your application for renewal or re-subscription
following a termination or suspension of your use of the Service. If
your Service is terminated for any reason, you agree to pay a
reconnection fee if the Service is reactivated.
f. Regulatory Compliance. In the event there is a ruling, regulation or
order issued by a judicial, legislative or regulatory body that causes
AT Cyber Systems to believe that this Agreement may be in conflict with
such rules, regulations and orders, AT Cyber Systems may terminate or
modify your Service and/or this Agreement immediately without notice.

not a debit card. If your card is a combination credit card/debit card,
you authorize us to use it as a credit card. You also agree to
indemnify us for any claims or expenses resulting from your providing a
debit card instead of a credit card. If your credit card is declined,
is invalid or payment is not made by the issuer of your credit card at
the time that a charge is attempted, you will not be able to use the
Service until your account is paid in full.
d. Discontinuation of Service for Nonpayment. Service to you may be
denied or discontinued without notice at any time in the event your
credit card provider denies or discontinues providing credit to you for
any reason, or you fail to provide us with a new credit card expiration
date before the existing one expires. If your credit card fails for any
reason during the ordering process, or any regular or monthly billing
process, you will have 24 hours to provide AT Cyber Systems your new
credit card information. If the credit card issue is not resolved
within 24 hours, your service will be discontinued until your account
is paid in full. You agree to pay all charges owed to AT Cyber
Systems, including but not limited to the early termination fee. In the
event AT Cyber Systems utilizes a collection agency or resorts to legal
