This TOS supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposal, whether oral or written, between voicelogic and you with respect to the Services.

You are required to indicate your assent to this agreement through one or more mechanisms provided by voicelogic, (e.g. clicking on a button indicating your agreement to the TOS) before accessing the Services.

Your use of the Services may be governed by one or more other agreements with voicelogic in addition to the terms set forth herein. If you access the Services through voicelogic’s website (the “website”), you hereby agree to be bound by the website terms of use, available at. If you access Services through voicelogic’s Softphone™ software, you are required to agree to the End User License Agreement for that software, available here. If you subscribe to voicelogic OfficeSM services, those services require you to agree to the Supplemental Terms of Service for voicelogic OfficeSM, available at Office Supplemental TOS and the Supplemental Terms of Service for voicelogic DigitalLineSM VoIP Services.

2. 911 CALLING NOT AVAILABLE IF YOU DO NOT SUBSCRIBE FOR voicelogic DIGITALLINE VOIP SERVICES.

The voicelogic Softphone is downloadable software that acts as a graphical user interface (GUI) on your computer. The Softphone allows you to control inbound calls by, among other things, accepting and answering inbound calls, sending the inbound calls to voicemail, and responding to an inbound call using voicelogic’s interactive voice response (IVR) system. The Softphone also allows you to access your voicelogic account to view your call-logs, change your user preferences, etc. However, absent voicelogic DigitalLine VoIP Services, the voicelogic Softphone does not allow you to place outbound calls. Therefore, voicelogic Softphone does not offer 911 or emergency calling unless you subscribe to voicelogic DigitalLine VoIP Services.

  • If you do not subscribe to voicelogic DigitalLine VoIP Services, you must make alternative arrangements to place 911 calls using your landline, mobile or cell phone and should not rely on voicelogic for 911 calling capability.
  • If you do subscribe to voicelogic DigitalLine VoIP Services, you are advised that 911 calling using voicelogic DigitalLine VoIP Services is different than traditional 911 calling and subject to certain limitations and restrictions described more fully below in Availability and Limitations of 911 Service in the Supplemental Terms of Service for voicelogic® DigitalLineSMVoIP Services for Canada. You are hereby advised to carefully fully read the Supplemental Terms of Service for voicelogic® DigitalLineSMVoIP Services for Canada if you subscribe to voicelogic® DigitalLineSMVoIP Services.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU CANNOT USE THE voicelogic SERVICES TO CALL 911 OR FOR EMERGENCY CALLING. You understand and agree that no voicelogic Service is a replacement for your traditional telephone service. You agree to separately maintain wireless or traditional wireline telephone service that will enable you to call 911.

8. CHARGES, PLAN CREDITS AND CHARGEBACKS

Generally. You are responsible for paying all charges for your Account, including but not limited to, toll-free, local, long distance and directory assistance charges, and for all taxes and surcharges imposed on you or us as a result of your use of the Service. All fees and charges related to the Service are listed on the Service Plans section of the Company’s website, available here. These fees and charges, include the your monthly service charge for the Service, the cost of any additional overage minutes, termination and transfer fees, any applicable government taxes, fees and assessments and any administrative fees charged by voicelogic in connection with maintaining the Service and/or assessing or collecting such government taxes, fees and assessments. Customers with a past due balance on previous or multiple accounts will be charged the full balance upon opening a new account or updating their credit card information on file. voicelogic also reserves the right to charge termination and transfer fees consistent with each plan’s terms and conditions and as provided in this Terms of Service.

Plan Credits. voicelogic offers several different Service plans. Some of the plans provide for a fixed number of monthly credits. Credits may be used for domestic or international calling and faxing; however, all credits are quoted for domestic minute usage. Rates for international calling may differ. All credits available for use with the Services, including bonus minutes and/or other promotional incentives (e.g., “tell-a-friend” credits) and the like (collectively “Plan Credits”), have no monetary value. Plan Credits may only be redeemed by the holder of the Account to which the Plan Credits have been credited, and may not be sold, transferred, or assigned, or used by another user or with another user’s Account. Upon termination of your Account for any reason, all unused Plan Credits shall expire in their entirety and no refund or pro-ration shall be made for any unused Plan Credits.

International Calling. Because Plan Credits are quoted for domestic minute usage, you may be charged additional Plan Credits and/or additional rates may apply if you use your Plan Credits for international calling. voicelogic’s current international rates may be found on the voicelogic’s website under “International Rates” by clicking here. You are advised to refer to your specific Service plan details regarding all domestic and international charges and all other terms and conditions of your Service plan.

Fraudulent or Erroneous Charges. voicelogic strongly encourages you to contact voicelogic directly in cases of suspected fraud or error involving your account. In most cases, voicelogic can correct fraudulent or erroneous charges without bank or credit card company intervention. If you suspect fraud or discover erroneous charges on your voicelogic account, please contact voicelogic customer support at 1 (888) 898-4591. When you contact customer support, please have the following information available: (a) your name, contact information, and the voicelogic Account telephone number in question, (b) the date that the Account in question was created, (c) the credit card account number used to open the Account, and (d) the total amount charged to the Account. If you request that your bank/credit card perform a chargeback without first contacting voicelogic and voicelogic subsequently determines that the charges at issue are not erroneous or fraudulent, voicelogic reserves the right to take any available legal action except where prohibited by law.

9. BILLING AND PAYMENT

Any applicable initiation charges, usage and monthly recurring charges and fees are billed in full in advance. Termination and transfer charges are billed in arrears. Upon termination of your Account for any reason, all unused Plan Credits shall expire in their entirety and no refund or proration shall be made of any unused Plan Credits or of any remaining periods/months on any pre-paid Service plan except where prohibited by law.

When you subscribe to our service, you will provide us with a payment method, such as a valid credit card, and, if applicable, authorize us to collect from your payment method. Any authorization will remain valid until 30 days after you terminate our authority to charge your payment method. We will then charge you any disconnection fee and any other outstanding charges and disconnect your service. You will advise us of any changes to your payment method, such as credit card account number or expiration date changes. Time is of the essence for payment. Therefore, you agree to pay us interest at the lesser of (a) 18% per annum or (b) the highest amount allowed by law for any amounts unpaid as of the due date. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “Paid in Full”) shall not waive any of our rights to collect the full amount due.

Billing cycle end dates may change from time to time. When a billing cycle covers less than or more than a full month, we may make reasonable adjustments and prorations to charges to your Account.

10. EQUIPMENT RETURNS

You are responsible for all return shipping charges for any hardware returned to voicelogic for any reason, including situations in which hardware is covered under warranty. If you have purchased any hardware from us or we have otherwise provided you with any hardware and your Account is terminated for any reason after the end of any free-trial period and prior to the end of your first year of service, you hereby authorize us to immediately bill your credit card the full list-price of the hardware (if the hardware was provided for free) or for the balance of the list-price of the hardware (if the hardware was sold to you at a discounted price) if such hardware is not returned to and received by voicelogic in good working condition within 21 days of cancellation or disconnection. voicelogic will assess an additional $30 charge for any functioning equipment returned in poor condition (e.g., missing components and/or scratches).

11. REASONABLE USE

Unusually high usage of the Service attributable to individual Accounts may impair voicelogic’s ability to provide the Services and/or indicate misuse of the Services. Accordingly, for all Service Plans, reasonable use means that your use of the Service does not materially impair voicelogic’s ability to provide the Service to other users.

UNLIMITED OR UNMETERED PLANS

All unlimited or unmetered plans (“Unlimited Plans”) are subject to all of the Prohibited Use and Reasonable Use limitations set forth in the Reasonable Use Policy. In addition, all unlimited or unmetered plans are subject to the following terms and conditions:

  • Unlimited Plans are for normal residential or business use.
  • Unlimited Plans cannot, under any circumstances, be used for call-in lines, call centers, conference calling, trunking (to a PBX or otherwise), continuous or extensive call forwarding, autodialing, fax blasting, telemarketing (including without limitation charitable or political solicitation and/or polling), junk faxing, fax spamming, or other high volume or multi-person calling or faxing purposes.
  • Excessive Use of Unlimited Plans is prohibited. “Excessive Use” means that your use exceeds the monthly minutes used by 98% of all voicelogic Unlimited Plan customers. Excessive Use is measured on a monthly basis. For example, if you use 7,500 minutes in one month and 98% of all voicelogic Unlimited Plan customers used less than 7,500 minutes that month, your use would constitute Excessive Use and would be in violation of the Reasonable Use Policy.

voicelogic reserves the right to review and monitor your usage of your Unlimited Plan at any time (i) to calculate Excessive Use and (ii) compliance with this Reasonable Use Policy, including that there is no Excessive Use.

Except where prohibited by law, if you violate the Reasonable Use Policy, including but not limited to by Excessive Use of the Service, you hereby acknowledge and agree that voicelogic may modify, suspend, terminate, disconnect or take any other reasonable action regarding your Service to prevent continued violation of this Reasonable Use Policy (a “Plan Modification”), including charging you on per minute basis, at voicelogic’s published per minute rates, for any Excess Use or automatically converting your Unlimited Plan to a metered plan. You hereby agree to pay voicelogic, and hereby authorize voicelogic to charge your credit card for any additional fees, charges and penalties related to any Plan Modification.

You understand that unless you arrange with a new service provider to port your RC number to that new service provider, the number assigned to you will be reassigned upon termination of your Service. voicelogic will not be liable for any damages (including consequential or special damages) arising out of any such reassignment.

13. NUMBER AVAILABILITY

**The following Supplemental Terms of Service only apply if you have subscribed for voicelogic DigitalLineSMVoIP Services.

Supplemental Terms of Service for voicelogic® DigitalLineSMVoIP Services for Canada

Date of Last Revision: October 5, 2009

Date of Last Revision: August 2009

These Supplemental Terms of Service for voicelogic DigitalLineSMVoIP Services (“TOS”) constitute an agreement between voicelogic, Inc., and its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, and/or licensors (“voicelogic”, “we” or “us”), and the end-user customer (“Customer”, “you” or “user”) for voicelogic’s DigitalLine voice-over-internet protocol service (“DigitalLine”, "VoIP” or “VoIP Service”).

You are required to indicate your assent to this TOS agreement through one or more mechanisms provided by voicelogic, (e.g. clicking on a button indicating your agreement to the terms of use) before accessing voicelogic’s DigitalLine service.

voicelogic’s DigitalLine services are available only as an additional feature provided in connection with voicelogic’s telecommunications and facsimile services. Your use of voicelogic’s DigitalLine services are subject to voicelogic’s Terms of Service governing those services, available at here (the “General TOS”), as well as to the additional terms below. voicelogic’s DigitalLine service shall also be considered a voicelogic “Service” as that term is used in the General TOS.

1. GRANT OF RIGHTS

voicelogic hereby grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license and right to install one VoIP line per device for each user. For clarification, while you are permitted to register multiple VoIP lines on one voicelogic Professional account, only one (1) user is permitted to use each VoIP line. If you want to allow multiple users to use VoIP, you will need to purchase a separate VoIP line for each user.

2. CHARGES AND PLAN CREDITS

Downgrade Fee. voicelogic offers several different plan options for DigitalLine service. You may change your DigitalLine service plan at any time; however, a one-time processing fee of $10 applies when “downgrading” an existing plan to one with fewer minutes and/or features. In addition, certain plans may entitle you to receive discounts on equipment used in connection with voicelogic’s DigitalLine services. If you receive any equipment discounts associated with a DigitalLine service plan and subsequently change that plan to one that does not feature those discounts, you agree to reimburse voicelogic for those discounts.

Equipment Returns. All equipment obtained from voicelogic in connection with DigitalLine services is subject to voicelogic’s cancellation and return. Please also be aware that if you purchased a voicelogic Office service plan and you cancel the voicelogic Office service plan prior to the end of your initial term, cancellation, termination or phone, hardware and other equipment fees may apply. You hereby authorize voicelogic to charge your credit card, and you hereby agree to be liable for all such fees, costs and charges in accordance with voicelogic’s cancellation and return policy.

Plan Credits. voicelogic offers a number of different service plans with monthly credits, as well as credits, bonus minutes, and other promotional incentives (collectively “Plan Credits”). Plan Credits may be used for DigitalLine calling; however, all credits are quoted for domestic DigitalLine usage. Rates for international calling may differ. All credits available for use with the DigitalLine have no monetary value. Plan Credits may only be redeemed by the holder of the Account to which the Plan Credits have been credited, and may not be sold, transferred, or assigned, or used by another user or with another user’s Account. Upon termination of your Account for any reason, all unused Plan Credits shall expire in their entirety and no refund or pro-ration shall be made for any unused Plan Credits.

3. REASONABLE USE

Unusually high usage of the DigitalLine Service attributable to one or more individual accounts may impair voicelogic’s ability to provide the Services and/or indicate misuse of the Services. Accordingly, as with all of voicelogic’s services, DigitalLine Service is subject to reasonable use restrictions described in the General TOS and herein. As with all voicelogic Services, reasonable use means that your use of the DigitalLine Service does not materially impair voicelogic’s ability to provide DigitalLine Services to other users. For “unlimited” RC Office Service plans, reasonable use means that, in addition to any other restrictions on your use of voicelogic’s Services set forth herein or in the Terms of Service, your use of the DigitalLine Service does not exceed 10,000 minutes per DigitalLine line per month. Except where prohibited by law, voicelogic reserves the right to immediately disconnect, suspend or modify your DigitalLine Service or bill you at our normal “per minute” rates for any excess minutes if your use of the DigitalLine Service violates (or it is determined by voicelogic that your use of the Service violates) this reasonable use policy. Further, it is not reasonable use for you to use an “unlimited” DigitalLine Services in a call-center, for chat-lines and similar type services or to connect to a PBX.

4. DIALING 911 AND REACHING EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICES

Availability and Limitations of 911 Service. You may use voicelogic’s DigitalLine VoIP Service to reach emergency response services by dialing 911. Because voicelogic DigitalLine VoIP 911 Service operates differently than traditional 911 service, there are circumstances under which 911 may not be available or may be in some way limited in comparison to traditional 911 service. Such circumstances include:

  • Internet connection failure. If the connection to the Internet over which your voicelogic DigitalLine VoIP service is provided were interrupted, you would not have access to voicelogic DigitalLine VoIP service during that interruption and therefore would not have access to 911 service during that interruption.
  • Relocation of your DigitalLine VoIP equipment. If you relocate your IP phone, ATA with traditional phone, or DigitalLine VoIP equipment (other than highly portable devices, which are discussed below) that you use to access your voicelogic DigitalLine VoIP service, you must update your Registered Location. Calls call you make using voicelogic DigitalLine VoIP will be routed to the national call center where a trained agent will assist you in reaching the proper PSAP. voicelogic will route all 911 calls to the National Emergency Call Center. Emergency personnel do not automatically receive your phone number or physical location when your 911 call is routed to the National Emergency Call Center and therefore, you must be prepared to provide your current location and phone number when you dial 911. You must not disconnect the call unless told to do so, and you should call back if the call is disconnected. Keep your service address up to date. voicelogic will attempt to provide the emergency operator with your service address, so please ensure that your information on file with us is always accurate and updated. If you do not do this (for example, if you are unable to speak during a 911 call), the emergency operator may assume that you are calling from the last registered address. Once you notify us of a change in your Registered Location, there may be a delay in making the new Registered Location available to properly route 911 calls and to advise national call centers of your Registered Location.
  • Highly-portable devices and the National Emergency Call Center. Highly-portable devices are physical phone devices such as Wi-Fi phones or your voicelogic Softphone™ softphone. Highly-portable devices do NOT include VoIP services. Calls from highly-portable devices will be routed to the national call center where a trained agent will assist you in reaching the proper PSAP. voicelogic will route all 911 calls to the National Emergency Call Center. Emergency personnel do not automatically receive your phone number or physical location when your 911 call is routed to the National Emergency Call Center and therefore, you must be prepared to provide your current location and phone number when you dial 911. You must not disconnect the call unless told to do so, and you should call back if the call is disconnected.
  • Loss of electrical power. Unless you have a backup system to power both your Internet connection and any device (PC with Softphone softphone, IP phone, ATA with traditional phone, or other device) that you use to access your voicelogic DigitalLine VoIP service, you will not have phone service or 911 service during any power outage. Because access to voicelogic DigitalLine VoIP service via any battery powered device such as a PC with Softphone softphone requires an Internet connection, 911 service will not be available unless you have a backup system to power your Internet connection even if your device can still operate using battery power.

Registration of Physical Location Required. You must register the physical location (“Registered Location”) where you will be using DigitalLine VoIP service for each DigitalLine VoIP phone line you purchase from voicelogic (e.g., if you purchase the RC Office Service Plan with four (4) DigitalLine VoIP lines, you must provide the Registered location for each DigitalLine VoIP line). voicelogic will obtain your Registered Location as part of the service initiation process, and will not provide service until you have provided your initial Registered Location. You must update your Registered Location when you use your DigitalLine VoIP service from a new location. Regardless of what address you register for a highly-portable device, emergency calls you make from these devices will be routed to the National Emergency Call Center.

If you do not update your Registered Location, 911 calls you make with your DigitalLine VoIP service will be routed based on your previously provided Registered Location and therefore may not be routed to the appropriate PSAP for your current location. In addition, because voicelogic will, where possible, automatically transmit your Registered Location to the PSAP, you must update your Registered Location to ensure that voicelogic transmits accurate location information to the PSAP. You may update your Registered Location by logging on to your online account or calling 1-800-574-5290. For purposes of 911 Dialing, you may only register one Registered Location at a time for each DigitalLine VoIP line.

You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete Registered Location information to voicelogic as part of the service initiation process and to update as soon as possible your Registered Location with true, accurate, current and complete information whenever you use your DigitalLine VoIP service from a new location. If you provide Registered Location information that is, or that voicelogic suspects to be, false, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, voicelogic has the right to suspend or terminate the Services and refuse any and all current or future use of all Services, or any portion thereof. Ring Central will not, however, disable your ability to make a 911 call during any service suspension.

Notify All Users. You agree to inform all business colleagues, household residents, guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize DigitalLine VoIP service of the circumstances under which 911 may not be available or may be in some way limited in comparison to traditional 911 service. voicelogic will provide subscribers to its DigitalLine VoIP service with stickers warning that “VoIP 911 service is different than traditional telephone 911 services. Before dialling 9-1-1 make sure you know your address/location. 9-1-1 service will not be available if there is a power failure or service outage. For more details visit www.voicelogic.com” by including stickers with any DigitalLine VoIP equipment and/or by mailing stickers to subscribers upon service initiation. It is your responsibility to place these stickers on the equipment you use to access DigitalLine VoIP service. If you have not received a sticker, or you require additional 911 Stickers, please contact our customer care department at 1-800-574-5290.

Disclaimer of 911 Liability. voicelogic disclaims all responsibility for the conduct of PSAPs and all other third parties involved in the provision of emergency response services. voicelogic does not have any control over PSAPs and is therefore not responsible for whether they answer 911 calls made using DigitalLine VoIP service, how they answer these calls, or how they handle these calls. voicelogic relies on third parties to assist it in the provision of 911 service, and disclaims any and all liability for acts or omissions by third parties in the provision of voicelogic’s 911 service. Neither voicelogic nor its officers or employees may be held liable for any claim, damage, or loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) by, or on behalf of, you or any third-party user of voicelogic’s 911 dialing capability.

Waiver of Claims. You waive all claims or causes of action arising from or relating to voicelogic’s provision of 911 service unless the claims or causes of action arise from voicelogic’s gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct. You waive all claims and causes of action arising from or relating to the provision of 911 services by voicelogic’s third-party suppliers unless the claims or causes of action arise from the third-party supplier’s gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct.

5. OPERATOR ASSISTED CALLING, 311, 511, AND OTHER X11 CALLING

DigitalLine service does not support 0+ or operator assisted calling (including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls, 900 or calling card calls). DigitalLine Service may not support 311, 511 and/or other x11 calling (other than certain specified dialing such as 911 and 711, which are provided for elsewhere in this TOS) in one or more (or all) service areas.

6. DIALING 711

DigitalLine service allows you to dial 711 to reach Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS). TRS enables persons with hearing or speech disabilities to access the public telephone system to communicate with voice telephone users through a communications assistant at a TRS relay center. Because voicelogic DigitalLine allows you to use a phone number that may not reflect your geographic location, 711 calls made using DigitalLine service may not be routed to the appropriate TRS center for your geographic location.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY

Your use of the DigitalLine Service is subject to our privacy policy, which contains restrictions, limitations and confidentiality terms related to the collection, use and protection of confidential and customer information.

8. LINE-NUMBER PORTABILITY.

You may port your DigitalLine number in accordance with the Company’s line-number portability policy.

9. BREACH OF CTRC RULES.

Your use of the DigitalLine Service is subject to all rules and regulations promulgated by the Canadian Radio and Telephone Commission (CRTC). Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, if and as directed by the CRTC, voicelogic will terminate the DigitalLine Service on any customer that breaches the CRTC's rules on unsolicited telecommunications.

10. ADDITIONAL TERMS OF SERVICE.

Your use of the DigitalLine Service is subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in voicelogic’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (, including the following: billing frequency and payment policy; disconnection policy; security deposit policy (if and as adopted from time to time); policy on directories; voicelogic’s name and address; toll-free number for further information or complaints; billing date; due date for payments; interest rate applicable to late payments; information concerning 9-1-1 and MRS; information concerning privacy protection (availability of privacy safeguards and treatment of confidential information).

The parties confirm that it is their wish that this Agreement as well as all other documents relating to this Agreement, including notices, be drawn up in English. Les parties aux presentes confirment que c’est leur volonte que la presente convention de meme que tous les documents, y compris les avis, s’y rattachant, soient rediges en anglais.

You hereby confirm, accept and acknowledge that voicelogic does not support any of the following privacy safeguards with respect to its DigitalLine VoIP Service: delivery of a privacy indicator when invoked by an end-customer; provision of automated universal per-call blocking of calling line identification; provision of per line call blocking of qualified end customers; disallowance of Call Return to a blocked number; and the provision of universal call trace.
