Provision of Services. CUSTOMER hereby orders and AT&T hereby agrees to provide the AT&T services described in the Attachment(s) to this Agreement (the "Services"). AT&T is not responsible for the quality of transmission or signaling on CUSTOMER's side of the network interface between AT&T and CUSTOMER. Service is furnished subject to the availability of the service components required, and subject to operational and systems constraints. 2. Billing and Payment for the Services. Except as may be provided in an Attachment, AT&T will send a single monthly bill for each of the Services to one location designated by CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER is liable for all amounts due to AT&T under this Agreement. Payment in U.S. currency is due within thirty days after the bill date, except as otherwise provided below with respect to Billing Disputes. 3. Non-Payment. AT&T may add interest charges to any past due amounts at the lower of 12.0% per year or the maximum rate allowed by law. CUSTOMER shall reimburse AT&T for reasonable attorney's fees and any other costs associated with collecting delinquent or dishonored payments. Restrictive endorsements or other statements on checks accepted by AT&T will not apply. 4. Billing Disputes. To dispute a charge on a bill, CUSTOMER must identify the specific charge in dispute and provide a full written explanation of the basis for the dispute using a standard AT&T billing dispute form within 90 days after the bill date. CUSTOMER may withhold payment of a charge subject to a good faith dispute provided: (a) CUSTOMER submits the billing dispute, using a standard AT&T billing dispute form, within thirty days after the bill date; (b) CUSTOMER pays the undisputed portion of all charges; and (c) CUSTOMER cooperates reasonably with AT&T's efforts to investigate and resolve the dispute. If AT&T determines a disputed charge was billed in error, AT&T shall issue a credit to reverse the amount incorrectly billed. If AT&T determines a disputed charge was billed correctly, payment shall be due from CUSTOMER within five days after AT&T advises CUSTOMER in writing that the dispute is denied. 5. Deposits. Using its Deposit standards, AT&T has assessed and CUSTOMER shall pay the Initial Deposit amount specified on the Cover Sheet before Services are provided. AT&T may require CUSTOMER, during the term of this Agreement, to tender a deposit in an amount to be determined by AT&T in its reasonable discretion. AT&T will rely upon commercially reasonable factors to determine the need for and amount of any deposit. These factors may include, but are not limited to, payment history, number of years in business, history of service with AT&T, bankruptcy history, current account treatment status, financial statement analysis, and commercial credit bureau rating, as well as commitment levels and anticipated monthly charges. Any deposit will be held by AT&T as a guarantee for the payment of charges. A deposit does not relieve CUSTOMER of the responsibility for the prompt payment of bills. Interest (at the rate of 6% per year or such other rate as is applicable by law) will be paid to CUSTOMER for any period that a cash deposit is held by AT&T. 6. Obligations Regarding Taxes. CUSTOMER shall pay any applicable local, state and federal taxes, levied upon the sale, installation, use or provision of the Services, except to the extent customer provides a valid tax exemption certificate to AT&T prior to the delivery of Services. CUSTOMER shall not be required to pay any taxes assessed on AT&T's income. Gross Receipts Taxes will be charged to CUSTOMER in the same manner as that provided in AT&T Tariff F.C.C. No. 1, Section 2.5.14, as amended from time to time. 7. CUSTOMER is a Carrier. CUSTOMER certifies it is a "common carrier" as defined in the Communications Act of 1934 (see ss.ss.153(10) and 211), with all required state and federal operating authority. 8. Responsibilities of CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER is responsible for interfacing and communicating with its End Users, for placing any orders, and for assuring that it and any Intermediate Providers comply with the provisions of this Agreement and with all applicable federal and state laws and regulatory requirements with respect to the Services. CUSTOMER is responsible for arranging premises access at any reasonable time so that AT&T personnel may install, repair, maintain, inspect or remove service components. 9. Software. AT&T grants CUSTOMER a personal, non-transferable and non-exclusive license (without the right to sublicense) to use, in object code form, all software and associated written and electronic documentation and data furnished pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, "Software"), solely in connection with the Services and solely in accordance with applicable written and electronic documentation. CUSTOMER will refrain from taking any steps to reverse assemble, reverse compile or otherwise derive a source code version of the Software. The Software shall at all times remain the sole and exclusive property of AT&T or its suppliers. "Third-Party Software" means Software that bears a copyright notice of a third party. "AT&T Software" means all Software other than Third-Party Software. CUSTOMER shall not copy or download the Software, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in the applicable documentation for the Service or in a writing signed by AT&T. Any copy must contain the same copyright notices and proprietary markings as the original Software. CUSTOMER agrees to comply with any additional restrictions that are provided with any Third-Party Software. The term of the license granted with respect to any Software shall be coterminous with the Attachment which covers the Software. CUSTOMER shall assure that its Users comply with the terms and conditions of this Section. Confidential AT&T PROPRIETARY Use Pursuant to AT&T Instructions GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 10. Warranty with Respect to Software. AT&T warrants that all AT&T Software will perform substantially in accordance with its applicable published specifications during a warranty period of ninety (90) days beginning on the date of delivery of the AT&T Software to CUSTOMER. If CUSTOMER returns to AT&T, within the ninety (90) day warranty period, any AT&T Software that does not comply with this warranty, then AT&T, at its option, will either repair or replace the portion of the AT&T Software that does not comply or refund the amount paid by CUSTOMER for such failed or defective AT&T Software. This warranty will apply only if the AT&T Software is used in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and is not altered, modified or tampered with by CUSTOMER or Users. 11. Abuse of Service. The abuse of Service is prohibited. Using Service or permitting Service to be used in the following ways constitutes abuse:(a) interfering unreasonably with the use of AT&T service by others or the operation of the AT&T network; (b) carrying calls that originate on the network of a facilities-based interexchange carrier other than AT&T and terminate disproportionately to domestic locations for which AT&T's cost of terminating switched access (based on the published access rates of the incumbent local exchange companies) is above AT&T's price for the call under this Agreement (after application of discounts); (c) subjecting AT&T personnel or non-AT&T personnel to hazardous conditions; (d) attempting to avoid the payment, in whole or in part, of any charges by any means or device (non-payment of billed charges will not be considered abuse of service for purposes of this Section); or (e) using the Services or displaying or transmitting Content in a manner that violates any applicable law or regulation. In any instance in which AT&T believes in good faith that there is abuse of Service as set forth above, AT&T may immediately restrict, suspend or discontinue providing Service or prevent the display or transmission of Content, without liability on the part of AT&T, and then notify CUSTOMER of the action that AT&T has taken and the reason for such action. To the extent doing so does not interfere with its ability to prevent abuse of Service (to be determined in AT&T's reasonable judgment), AT&T will attempt to notify CUSTOMER before taking such action, and will attempt to limit any restriction, suspension or discontinuance under this Section to the locations, Content, or Services with respect to which the abuse is taking place. 12. Default. If a party breaches any material term of this Agreement and the breach continues unremedied for 60 days after written notice of default, the other party may terminate for cause any Attachment materially affected by the breach. If CUSTOMER is in breach of its payment obligations (including failure to pay a required deposit), and fails to make payment in full within 5 days after receipt of written notice of default, AT&T may, at its option, terminate the Agreement, terminate affected Attachments, suspend Service under the affected Attachments, and/or require a deposit, advanced payment, or other satisfactory assurances in connection with any or all Attachments as a condition of continuing to provide Services; except that AT&T will not take any such action as a result of CUSTOMER's non-payment of a charge subject to a timely billing dispute, unless AT&T has reviewed the dispute and determined that the charge is correct. An Attachment may be terminated by either party immediately upon written notice if the other party has become insolvent or involved in a liquidation or termination of its business, or adjudicated bankrupt, or been involved in an assignment for the benefit of its creditors. CUSTOMER shall be liable to AT&T for Termination Charges, as specified in a terminated Attachment, in the event that AT&T terminates an Attachment as a result of a breach by CUSTOMER. Termination by either party of an Attachment does not waive any other rights or remedies it may have under this Agreement. 13. No Other Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, AT&T MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ANY WARRANTY ARISING BY USAGE OF TRADE, COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. AT&T DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS BY THIRD PARTIES. AT&T DOES NOT AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO MAKE A WARRANTY OF ANY KIND ON ITS BEHALF AND CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT RELY ON ANYONE MAKING SUCH STATEMENTS. 14. Limitation of Liability. EITHER PARTY'S ENTIRE LIABILITY, AND THE OTHER PARTY'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES, FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY SERVICE DEFECT OR FAILURE, OR FOR OTHER CLAIMS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SERVICE OR PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE: (a) FOR BODILY INJURY OR DEATH TO ANY PERSON, OR REAL OR TANGIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE, NEGLIGENTLY CAUSED BY A PARTY, OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF A PARTY OR A BREACH OF THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 17 (USE OF MARKS), THE OTHER PARTY'S RIGHT TO PROVEN DIRECT DAMAGES; (b) FOR DEFECTS OR FAILURES OF SOFTWARE, THE REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE UNDER THE HEADING WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO SOFTWARE; (c) FOR INDEMNITY, THE REMEDIES SET FORTH BELOW UNDER THE Confidential AT&T PROPRIETARY Use Pursuant to AT&T Instructions GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEADING INDEMNIFICATION; (d) FOR DAMAGES OTHER THAN THOSE SET FORTH ABOVE AND NOT EXCLUDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY'S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO PROVEN DIRECT DAMAGES NOT TO EXCEED PER CLAIM (OR IN THE AGGREGATE DURING ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD) AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE TOTAL NET PAYMENTS PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER FOR THE APPLICABLE SERVICE UNDER THE APPLICABLE ATTACHMENT DURING THE 3 MONTHS PRECEDING THE MONTH IN WHICH THE DAMAGE OCCURRED. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFICATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, ADVANTAGE, SAVINGS OR REVENUES OF ANY KIND, OR INCREASED COST OF OPERATIONS, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL AT&T BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY OR ARISING OUT OF: (i) ANY ACT OR OMISSION (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION UNAUTHORIZED USE, THEFT, ALTERATION, LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF SERVICE OR THE APPLICATIONS, CONTENT, DATA, PROGRAMS, INFORMATION, NETWORK OR SYSTEMS OF CUSTOMER, AN END USER OR ANY THIRD PARTY) OF CUSTOMER, AN INTERMEDIATE PROVIDER, AN END USER, OR ANOTHER THIRD PARTY, (ii) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN AN ATTACHMENT, SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS OR LOST OR ALTERED MESSAGES OR TRANSMISSIONS, OR (iii) INTEROPERABILITY, INTERACTION OR INTERCONNECTION OF THE SERVICES WITH APPLICATIONS, EQUIPMENT, SERVICES, CONTENT OR NETWORKS PROVIDED BY CUSTOMER OR THIRD PARTIES. THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SURVIVE FAILURE OF AN EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AND SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, OR NEGLIGENCE (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ACTIVE AND PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE). NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PAYMENT OF CHARGES DUE AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT. 15. Force Majeure. Neither party nor its Affiliates or subcontractors shall be liable to the other party for any delay, failure in performance, loss or damage due to force majeure conditions such as fire, explosion, power blackout, earthquake, volcanic action, flood, hurricane, the elements, strike, embargo, labor disputes, civil or military authority, war, acts of God, acts or omissions of other carriers (except, for CUSTOMER, the acts of omissions of its Intermediate Providers), acts of regulatory or governmental agencies, or other causes beyond their reasonable control, except that CUSTOMER's obligation to pay for services provided shall not be excused. Changes in economic, business or competitive conditions are not force majeure conditions. If CUSTOMER is unable to meet its commitments as a direct result of a force majeure condition, CUSTOMER may suspend its commitments for one full billing month (or longer, with AT&T's written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld). The effect of such a suspension of commitment will be to exclude the affected month(s) from all calculations affecting the CUSTOMER's commitments and to extend the term of this Agreement by the same number of months. CUSTOMER must provide notice to AT&T of the force majeure condition giving rise to the right to suspend commitments within 30 days after its occurrence. 16. Indemnification. CUSTOMER shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AT&T and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from any and all claims, damages and expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising on account of or in connection with CUSTOMER's use, resale or sharing of the Services, including but not limited to: (a) claims for libel, slander, invasion of privacy; (b) claims for infringement of copyright arising from any communication using the Services; (c) claims arising from any failure, breakdown, interruption or deterioration of service provided by AT&T to CUSTOMER or by CUSTOMER to End Users or Intermediate Providers; (d) claims arising from CUSTOMER's marketing efforts; and (e) claims of patent infringement arising from combining or using services or equipment furnished by AT&T in connection with services or equipment furnished by others. AT&T shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CUSTOMER and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from all claims of patent infringement arising solely from the use of the Services. CUSTOMER's indemnification obligations do not apply to claims for damages to real or tangible personal property or for bodily injury or death negligently caused by AT&T. 17. Use of Marks.
