8- Emergency Services – 911 Dialing

8.1- Croo’s Emergency Calling Service: 911

Nomadic VoIP Service

The Voice Service offered by Croo is known as a Nomadic VoIP Service. This means that Croo allows Customer to make calls from anywhere that you have access to a broadband internet service. As you know, you can simply bring your Device with you and use the Voice Service wherever you are located.

However, because of these nomadic capabilities, Croo is not currently able to automatically detect whether the Voice Service is being used from the registered service address or from some other location. Consequently, when a subscriber relocates, Croo no longer has valid 911 routing or ALI (Automatic Location Information) data with which to process 911 calls from that Customer, unless the Customer updates his/her location information.

Croo’s 911 Service

Following the directives made by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission ‘CRTC’ pursuant to Telecom Decision CRTC 2005-21, Croo has, in compliance with such directives, implemented an emergency calling service or 911 service (the ‘911 Service’).

In order to use the Croo 911 Service, you must be a Croo Voice Service subscriber. You must also activate the 911 Service according to the instructions provided by Croo.

Once the 911 Service is activated, all calls by the Customer using the 911 Service will be connected to an intermediary (such as a third party call centre), which in turn will transfer the call to the proper PSAP or emergency services agency. Based on the information provided by the Customer, the intermediary will direct your call to the appropriate emergency services agency or a public safety answering point.

8.2 Not a traditional 911 Service 

Users of the Croo Mobile App Service on mobile phones should note that dialing 911 using the Croo Mobile application on your mobile phone is equivalent to dialing 911 using the native dialer of your mobile phone. The Croo Mobile application will use the native dialer of your mobile phone to complete your 911 call via your mobile carrier.

Other Croo users including users of the Croo Mobile App Service on devices that do not have phone capabilities (example: iPOD touch), should note that there are inherit differences in functionality between the Croo 911 Service and traditional 911 emergency services and should carefully read the following information.

 

8.3 Limitations to the 911 Service

Croo is advising Customer of the following inherent limitations to the 911 Service due to the nomadic characteristics of VoIP Service.

The 911 Service will not be accessible or available in the following situations:

• A service outage has occurred for any reason, including the following:

• Network Congestion;
• Power failure or disruption;
• Internet connection outage/termination by your Internet service provider;
• Croo terminates, suspends or cancels your Service for any of the reasons specified in our Terms of Service.

The 911 Service may not be accessible or may suffer quality and reliability issues if:

• You are a Voice Service Customer who brought their own Device and that Device does not support the G.711U codec. The ERS (Emergency Routing Service) codec policy enforces the G.711U codec for 911 calls. Subscriber Devices must be able to support the G.711U codec in the RTP payload. If G.711U is not supported by the Devices, the 911 call will be routed over non-emergency routes, which could result in call setup delays and loss of the quality and reliability available with ERS routes. Note that you are not required to use the G.711U codec as the preferred codec for your Device, but it must be offered as a supported codec in order to make use of the ERS on 911 calls.
• Misrouting of 911 calls occur for any reason including but not limited to your failure to follow correct activation procedures for 911 calling or your provision to us of incorrect or inaccurate or not current information in connection with the 911 Service.

The 911 emergency responders that are part of the 911 Service may be delayed if:

• You have not provided an initial location for the 911 Service during account activation AND received an email from Croo confirming your successful activation; All 911 calls are routed to an emergency call center where an emergency dispatcher will confirm the provided location or in case the user has not provided a location, ask for the current location. 
• You do not provide us with current and accurate location information (i.e., where you are);
• You do not advise us immediately of any changes that you make to the location information that you initially provided us; 
• Verification of your location information is not completed. It can take up to 24 hours to complete the verification once we receive new location information.

In the event that an emergency call in progress is interrupted, 911 emergency personnel will be unable to call you at the phone from which you originated the call if:

• You have call-forwarding, do-not-disturb or other similar features programmed and in use at the time you dial a 911 call;
• Your telephone ringer is set to OFF;

In the interest of everyone’s safety, you are obliged to inform all potential users (including your employees and officers of your business and visitors to your business, office or household) of your Croo line of these important limitations.

8.4- Limitation of Liability

Neither Croo nor its affiliated or related companies, divisions, nor any of their respective officers, employees, directors, shareholders, content providers or service partners shall 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 the Service and/or the 911 Service, including, without limitation, your inability to dial 911 from your line or to access emergency service personnel unless it is proven that the act or omission causing the claim, damage, or loss constitutes gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct on the part of Croo.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Croo, its affiliated and related companies, divisions, and their respective officers, employees, directors, shareholders, affiliates and agents and any other third party service provider who furnishes services to you or to us in connection with Service, from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) by, or on behalf of, you or any third party or user of your Service relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including, without limitation, the 911 Service and/or the inability of Customer and/or any third person or party or user that gains access to or use of the Service with or without your express or implied authorization to be able to dial 911 or to access emergency service personnel, and any misrouting of 911 calls, including but not limited to your failure to follow correct activation procedures for 911 calling or your provision to us of incorrect or inaccurate or not current information in connection with the 911 Service.

8.5- Acceptance

Notwithstanding the Limitations that are discussed above, and having fully read and understood those Limitations as well as the limits of Croo’s liability, you hereby fully acknowledge and accept, without limitation, the Voice Service, its Nomadic VoIP Service characteristics, and the 911 Service as currently offered.

9- Copyright / Trademark / Unauthorized Usage of Device, Firmware or Software

The Service and all Service information, documents, software, Device, firmware, and materials on Croo’s web site(s), as well as all of the following (whether registered or unregistered): names, logos, trademarks, trade names, service works, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property (the “Croo Property”) are the exclusive property of Croo or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws and international treaty provisions. You acknowledge that: (a) you will not contest the ownership of the Croo Property; (b) you are not given any license to use the firmware or software used to provide the Service or provided to the Customer in conjunction with providing the Service, or embedded in the Device, other than a non-transferable, non-assignable, automatically revocable license to use the Croo Property (without making any modification thereto) provided to the Customer or otherwise made accessible to the Customer strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you decide to use the Service through an interface device not provided by Croo, which Croo reserves the right to prohibit in particular cases or generally at any time, you warrant and represent that you possess all required rights, including software and/or firmware licenses, to use that interface device with the Service and you will indemnify and hold harmless Croo, the employees, officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates and third party service providers against any and all liability arising out of your use of such interface device with the Service. You furthermore agree that your use of an interface device may, in Croo’s sole discretion, disqualify you from the benefits of Croo’s offer of a Money-Back Guarantee and any other indemnification permitted to you under law or this Agreement.

10- Charges / Payments / Default / Taxes

10.1 Billing and Payment: Croo will bill all charges monthly to your credit card. Monthly fees for Service, according to the plan for which you registered, Device rental charges, and feature charges where applicable, will be charged to your credit card monthly in advance. All charges for long distance, local minutes, fax pages, directory assistance (411), etc. that are not included in, or exceed, the features of the selected package will be charged to your credit card monthly in arrears. However Croo reserves the right to bill at more frequent intervals if the amount due at any time exceeds $250 for toll free or long distance. Where applicable, charges for activation fees, deactivation fees or plan change fees, Device purchases, and shipping and handling charges will be charged to your credit card at the time of your order.

You must give us a valid credit card number when the Service is purchased. If the credit card expires, you close your account or your billing address changes, or the credit card is cancelled and replaced owing to loss or theft, or cancelled for any other reason, you must advise Croo.

When subscribing to the Service via the Croo website or by other means you must acknowledge having read and accepted this Agreement by clicking “I Accept”. Your acceptance of this Agreement authorizes Croo to charge the credit card on file with Croo, including any modified information given to Croo if the credit card expires or is replaced, for all charges as described herein. This authorization will remain valid until 30 days after Croo receives your written notice terminating Croo’s authority to charge your credit card or until all accrued charges to your accounts are paid whichever is later.

10.2 Toll Charges: Long Distance Charges for calls through the Service will be billed to you at rates established by Croo and posted on the Croo web site (www.foneco.co).

Currently there are no charges between Croo users; however charges can be levied at the sole discretion of Croo and will be posted on the Croo web site. Call times for each call are rounded up and billed in six (6) second increments. All calls for which we receive answer supervision and last for at least six (6) seconds, as explained below, shall incur a minimum thirty (30) second charge. Croo relies on answer supervision to determine whether and when a call has been answered. Answer supervision is a signal sent by the carrier connecting the call to indicate the start of call. Answer supervision is generally received when a call is answered; however, answer supervision may also be generated by voicemail systems, private branch exchanges, and inter-exchange switching equipment. Where no answer supervision is received, we will commence billing forty (40) seconds following dial time unless the caller has terminated the call.

10.3 Taxes: The Customer is responsible for, and shall pay applicable federal (GST), Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) and provincial taxes (PST) or any additional telecommunication or other taxes, fees or charges now in force or enacted in the future, that arise from or as a result of Customer’s subscription or use or payment for the Service or purchase or rental of a Device. Such amounts are in addition to payment for the Service and will be billed to your account.

10.4 Billing Disputes: You must notify Croo in writing within seven (7) days after your monthly statement is posted in your account section on the Croo Web site or is sent to your email address if you dispute any Croo charges on that statement or you agree that such dispute will be deemed waived.
