  1. VoIP 9-1-1 Service
      1. Non-Availability of Traditional 911 or E911 Dialing Service.
        KloudTel provides VoIP 9-1-1 service that is similar to traditional 911 service but has some important differences and limitations when compared with enhanced 911 service (E911) available in most locations in conjunction with traditional telephone service. With both traditional 911 and E911 service, your call is sent directly to the nearest emergency response centre. In addition, with E911 service, your call back number and address are visible to the emergency response centre call-taker. With KloudTel’s VoIP 9-1-1 service, your call is sent to a national emergency call centre. The call centre operator will request or confirm your location information and then transfer your 911 call to the emergency response centre nearest your location. You should be prepared to provide or confirm your address and call-back number with the operator. If you use a SoftPhone, your 911 calls will be routed to the national emergency response centre, however, emergency personnel do not receive your phone number or physical location information. Do not hang up unless told directly to do so and if disconnected, you should dial 911 again.
      2. Registration of Physical Location Required.
        You should ensure your location information, when registered with KloudTel, is kept current at all times. All location changes must be entered into the KloudTel Hosted PBX at http://portal.kloudtel.com or sent to [email protected]. In case you are not able to speak during the 911 call, the call taker would dispatch emergency response vehicles to your last registered address. You need to update your VoIP 9-1-1 information if you move your device to a different location and/or if you add a new line or extension to your account. Regardless of what address you register for a SoftPhone or other remote extension medium, the national emergency response centre does not receive your phone number or physical location information when you place a 911 call. Your VoIP 9-1-1 service is activated when you subscribe to KloudTel service.
      3. Service Outages.
        VoIP 9-1-1 service will not function in the event of a power or broadband outage or if your broadband, ISP or KloudTel service is suspended or disconnected. Following a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or reconfigure your Device prior to utilizing the service, including VoIP 9-1-1.
      4. Re-Registration Required if You Change Your Number or Add or Port New Numbers.
        You must successfully register your location of use for each changed, newly added or newly ported number in order for VoIP 9-1-1 to function as intended. All changes must be sent to . Regardless of what address you register for a SoftPhone or other remote extension medium, the national emergency response centre does not receive your phone number or physical location information when you place a 911 call.
      5. Network Congestion; Reduced Speed for Routing or Answering 911 Dialing Calls.
        There may be a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a VoIP 9-1-1 call made utilizing the Service as compared to traditional 911 Dialing over traditional public telephone networks.
      6. Conveying Limitations to others.
        You should inform any employees, household members, guests and other persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize the KloudTel service, of the important differences in and limitations of VoIP 9-1-1 service as compared with E911 service, as set out above.
      7. Disclaimer of Liability and Indemnification.
        We do not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using our VoIP 9-1-1 service are answered or addressed by any local emergency response centre. We disclaim all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centres and the national emergency calling centre. We rely on third parties to assist us in routing VoIP 9-1-1 calls to local emergency response centres and to a national emergency calling centre. We disclaim any and all liability or responsibility in the event such third party data used to route calls is incorrect or yields an erroneous result. Neither KloudTel nor its officers or employees may be held liable for any claim, damage, or loss, and you hereby waive any and all such claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to our VoIP 9-1-1 service unless such claims or causes of action arose from our gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless KloudTel, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents and any other service provider who furnishes services to you in connection the Service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including VoIP 9-1-1, incorrectly routed 911 calls, and/or the inability of any user of the Service to be able to use VoIP 9-1-1 or access emergency service personnel.
      8. Alternate 911 Arrangements.
        If you are not comfortable with the limitations of the VoIP 9-1-1 service, you should consider having an alternate means of accessing traditional 911 or E911 services or disconnecting the Service.
      9. VoIP 9-1-1 Service Acknowledgement.
        You acknowledge that KloudTel’s equipment and services do not support 911 emergency dialing or other functions in the same way that traditional wireline 911 services work. The differences are provided above and the user agrees to notify any potential user of the services, who may place calls using the service, of the 911 limitations.

      1. KloudTel Shipping & Return Policy
        At KloudTel we strive for 100% customer satisfaction. Everything you see on our website is generally in-stock unless otherwise noted. Orders normally ship the same business day you place them provided they are completed before 12:00pm EST. Orders placed on weekends and holidays are shipped the next available business day. KloudTel utilizes warehouses located across the USA & Canada. As such we are able to ship your order from a deep inventory position and get you the product as soon as possible. The shipment fee is calculated based upon a combination of the shipment method, where the product is being shipped to, and the package weight and dimensions. All returns must be initiated within 15 days from when the equipment has been received. In order to process a return, a RMA number must be obtained by emailing and including your order number, your name, the product type, and a reason for the return. Once an RMA has been issued, KloudTel must receive the returned equipment within 15 days. Customers are responsible for all return shipping costs, including defective merchandise. Packages that arrive COD or Postage Due will be refused. All products must be received in new, resalable condition. The condition of the product will be determined at our discretion. A 20% restocking fee will be charged for all non-defective returns. Any equipment refused by the customer will be restocked with a 20% fee deducted from the refund. In addition, any postage due or brokerage fees associated with recovering a refused package will be deducted from the refund. Shipping charges are not refundable under ANY circumstances once an order has shipped. If an item is defective or fails within the first 15 days then please contact us at for an RMA number and we will replace the item for you. Replacement of items that failed but during the first 15 days will be shipped out using our Ground Shipping method. If a product fails after the first 15 days then please contact the manufacturer directly. If you are not sure who the manufacturer is, are not sure how to contact them, or are having problems getting them to replace your product while it is covered under the Manufacturer’s Warranty (if any) then please email us at and we will do our best to assist you. All returned items should be packed in the same manner as they were originally shipped. Products returned without the original packaging will be refused. You will need to write the RMA number on the shipping label. We strongly suggest that you purchase Insurance and Signature Confirmation as we are not responsible for any packages lost or damaged during the return trip. In the event that a package is listed as Delivered but cannot be found, only the signature of a KloudTel representative will suffice as proof of delivery to our warehouse. Refunds will be charged back to your credit card after our warehouse receives, inspects, and processes your return. Bear in mind, your credit card company determines when the issued credit will be reflected in your statement. Please allow one to two billing cycles.

      “Maintenance Window” – means the period of time during which KloudTel performs regularly scheduled maintenance on its network and equipment

      “Service Outage Time” – see Section 4.1 in this Schedule “A”

    6. The Services that are covered by this Agreement are listed below:

      KloudLINQ

      KloudLINQwith

      Customer-Provided Links

      The characteristics and applicable charges related to these Services are described in the Sales Orders that accompany this Agreement.

    7. SERVICE LEVELS
    8. Service Levels for Services covered under this Schedule “A” are listed and defined below, along with guidelines for a proper operating environment for KloudTel’s equipment.

          1. SERVICE AVAILABILITY
      Service Level Component KloudLINQ Products KloudLINQ Products with Customer-Supplied Link(s)
      Service Availability (in %) 99.9 99.9*
      Service Availability (in %) with High Availability Access 99.99 99.99*

      * This is dependent upon KloudTel receiving a Letter of Authorization from the Customer that allows KloudTel to contact the carrier(s) supplying these links directly on service issues.

      The basis for determining Service Availability will be Service Outage Time reported by the Customer and confirmed by KloudTel as tracked in KloudTel’s trouble ticketing system.

      “Service Outage Time” in this Schedule “A” means the period of time in which

      the Services provided by KloudTel are unavailable. Service Outage Time begins when the Customer reports the trouble to KloudTel through the proper support channel (via either the KloudTel Help Desk phone number or e-mail) and releases the affected components to KloudTel, and ends when KloudTel notifies the Customer that the problem has been resolved and the components are available to the Customer to use. Service Outage Time does not include time in which the service is simply degraded or slow.

      The formula for calculation of Service Availability is set out as follows:

      (Total Time in the Month (in hrs) less Total Service Outage Time in the Month (in hrs))

      Total Time in the Month (in hrs)

          1. SUPPORT AVAILABILITY

      The standard KloudTel Help Desk hours of coverage are between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm EST.

          1. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

      KloudTel performs periodic scheduled maintenance to ensure the quality and integrity of its network. KloudTel will provide the Customer notice of a minimum of ten (10) business days prior to a Maintenance Window.

          1. OPERATIN ENVIRONMENT FOR KloudTel HARDWARE

      For optimal performance of hardware provided by KloudTel, the following guidelines should be followed:

            1. Hardware is maintained in a room where the temperature does not exceed 24 degrees Celsius and with adequate air circulation, free of obstruction within 6 inches;
            2. Nothing is place on top of hardware, including additional equipment, papers or books;
            3. Hardware should be plugged into a customer-provided universal power supply (“UPS”) with a minimum 20 minute run time;
            4. All cables plugged into or attached to hardware should be slack;
            5. In order to facilitate physical troubleshooting, there should be easy access to the hardware.
            6. In locations that are prone to electrical surges or extreme weather conditions, surge protectors are recommended.
            7. Some KloudTel hardware is provided with warranty sticker. If this warranty sticker is broken, or if KloudTel determines that there is abuse of the hardware casing, hardware warranties and Service Availability commitments will be voided.

    9. BURST USAGE
    10. KloudTel will measure Customer’s bandwidth usage in five-minute intervals, for each point of connection between Customer and KloudTel (or its upstream provider), in two categories: incoming and outgoing. At the end of each billing cycle, all data samples in each category will be sorted from highest to lowest and the top 5% of measurements will be discarded. The highest remaining data sample in the higher of the two categories will then constitute the Bandwidth Use Level for that particular billing cycle.

      Burstable Bandwidth is the bandwidth usage calculated by subtracting Customer’s committed level of bandwidth from the Bandwidth Use Level for a particular billing cycle; only a positive remainder shall calculate Burstable Bandwidth. Notwithstanding sub-paragraph 2.3(b) of the Master Service Agreement, invoicing for Customer’s monthly recurring charge as set forth on any Service Order shall be monthly in advance for fixed or committed bandwidth, and monthly in arrears for Burstable Bandwidth charges.

    11. BASIS FOR OUTAGE REFUNDS
          1. Outage Refund. If a Service

      covered by this Schedule “A” experiences outages for a cumulative period
      exceeding the minimum service level commitments in accordance with Section
      4.1, the Customer will, upon request, receive a service credit equal to
      1/30th of the monthly recurring charge for the affected Service for each
      incremental hour of unavailability. All credit calculations will be based
      on unavailability in one-hour increments. Any and all service credits
      shall not exceed 40% of the Customer’s recurring monthly charges for the
      affected service for the month in which the service interruption occurred.

          1. Restrictions. The service level

      commitments set out in Section 4.1 and the duration of outage for the
      purposes of credits excludes:

            1. short periods of temporary service degradation, such as slow data transmissions; and service interruptions due to scheduled or emergency network maintenance or facility maintenance by KloudTel, which will be notified to all Customers before they occur; and
            2. service interruptions caused by circumstances beyond KloudTel’s reasonable control, including where caused by individuals not directly employed by KloudTel, or caused by any act or omission of Customer, such as changes made to Customer’s network without at least 30 days prior notification to KloudTel to allow KloudTel to adequately analyze such proposed changes and perform testing; and
            3. unavailability or interruption or delay in telecommunications or third-party services; failure of third-party software or hardware; inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power needed for KloudTel’s network; delay in transportation; or Force Majeure, as defined in the Agreement hereto.
          1. Sole remedy. The service

      credits in this Section 6 are Customer’s sole remedy for failure by KloudTel to meet the service levels described in this Schedule “A”.
