9.    Additional Provisions.

a.       Customer acknowledges that the voice-enabled Airband Equipment used to provide VoIP Services requires electricity to work, and that the VoIP Services, including the ability to access 911 services and home security and medical monitoring services, may not operate in the event of a power outage or if Customer’s internet connection is disrupted or not operating for any reason.  Customer further acknowledges that any battery included in the voice-enabled Airband Equipment may enable back-up service for a limited period of time or not at all during power outages, and that inclusion of the battery does not ensure that VoIP Services will be available in all circumstances.

b.       Airband will not be responsible for any losses or damages arising as a result of the unavailability of VoIP Services, including but not limited to inability to reach 911 or other emergency services, or to contact Customer’s security or monitoring systems provider. Airband does not guarantee or represent that the VoIP Services will operate with any security or monitoring services.  Customer shall be solely responsible for contacting all of Customer’s security and/or monitoring providers to test Customer’s system’s operation with the VoIP Services. Customer shall be solely responsible for the cost of any such testing and any fees for configuring Customer’s security or monitoring systems to work with the VoIP Services.  Customer further acknowledges that the Services are subject to certain laws and regulations and that Airband reserves the right to modify the Service or require Customer to provide additional information or make changes for Airband to continue providing the Service in compliance with any applicable laws or regulations.
