About this file
This is Amendment 2 to Contract 15-91579-102 between the State of Wisconsin Division of Enterprise Technology and CenturyLink Sales Solutions, Inc. The amendment modifies an existing contract for HI Capacity Local Voice Trunking Communications Services originally established in March 2012. The document includes both the state amendment form signed in May 2016 and CenturyLink's detailed service exhibit describing the upgraded technology platform and service terms.
The amendment provides an upgrade from CenturyLink's legacy SIP Trunk service (Sonus Platform) to their enhanced CenturyLink IQ® SIP Trunk Service on the Broadsoft Platform. The service includes various session types (Standard, Enterprise, and Usage) with monthly recurring charges ranging from $6.00 to $15.00 per session, and seat options (Basic, Standard, Premium, Mobility) priced from $0.20 to $2.00 per seat monthly. Additional features include hunt groups ($2.95/month), auto attendant ($11.00/month), voice mail seats ($4.50/month), and enhanced 911 service ($1.00/month per telephone number). The original contract term runs from March 27, 2012 through March 26, 2017, with a minimum service term of six months from the start of service date. The pricing structure is based on a 60-month initial term with specific volume-based rates for virtual seats ranging from $13.00 to $15.00 monthly depending on quantity tiers.

Session. IQ SIP Trunk Premium Seats are designed to fit the needs of the majority of a company's professional employees. They provide End Users with advanced IP phone features as well as Anywhere and Mobilelink access.

Rate Sheet. Voice mail only seats are featureless seats that allow inbound callers to leave a voice mail message.

(iv) Virtual Seats. A virtual seat does not include a physical device (like a phone) and is not associated to a IQ SIP Trunk Group. A TN associated with a virtual seat can be used as a line appearance on a phone, but cannot be used as the primary TN.

Standard, Premium, Conference Room, Receptionist and Basic Hosted VoIP seat MRCs, and in the Standard and Enterprise IQ SIP Trunk Session MRCs.

Regardless of where Off-Net pricing for
DGM/JCP/N97552/Amends N71067 long distance is located, the terms and conditions of this Service Exhibit will continue to apply to long distance used with Service. Additional per minute charges apply to each Off-Net Call leg of a conference call.
(ix) Toll-Free. Inbound toll free services are available with the Service. Centurylink is required by the FCC to state in this Service Exhibit that Customer is prohibited from using any toll free TN. or other TN advertised or widely understood to be toll free, in a manner that would violate FCC rule 47 CFR 64.1504. Additional per minute charges apply to international inbound toll free calls. Additional per minute charges also apply to domestic inbound toll free calls in excess of the quantity of waived minutes shown in the "Domestic Outbound Off-Net LD and Domestic Inbound 8XX Pricing" section on the applicable Rate Sheet (the "LD/TF Offer").

(a) Site Conditions. Customer is responsible for ensuring that its Customer Environment is fully prepared for the convergence of voice and data services during the Term. Customer is responsible for fully understanding how changes in its data network will affect voice quality and reliability of the Service. The addition of new data network applications, increased usage, movement of Customer personnel, and equipment failures can all have an impact on Service using that network. Centurylink has no liability for Service deficiencies or interruptions caused by failures or malfunctions in the Customer Environment. A Centurylink representative will assist Customer in a technical interview to determine if the Customer Environment meets the specifications. Customer is responsible for providing all the necessary information to complete the technical interview. If Centurylink determines in the technical interview that the Customer Environment does not meet the specifications needed to use the Service, Customer may terminate the Service without liability for any Cancellation Charge.
(b) Access. Customer must provide Centurylink and/or its representative access to the Customer premises to the extent reasonably determined by Centurylink for the installation, repair, replacement, inspection and scheduled or emergency maintenance of the Service. The installation NRC covers either a single Customer site visit by a
DGM/JCP/N97552/Amends N71067
Centurylink technician (where Service is added to existing Approved Connectivity), or a maximum of two Customer site visits (where installation of the Service includes new Approved Connectivity). If additional site visits are required, time and material charges will apply at CenturyLink's then current rates. Customer is responsible for providing a safe place to work at its premises and complying with all laws and regulations regarding the working conditions at its premises.
(c) Voice Services (Long Distance and Toll Free). Centurylink will provide the voice services under the terms of the Agreement, ISS, and this Service Exhibit, or the State of Wisconsin LO Contract 15-91577-101 (Centurylink contract number 367786). Customer must choose one of the two options stated above.
(i) Description; Service Guide and SLA. Long Distance accepts domestic and international dedicated long distance traffic in IP format and converts such traffic for transmission across the telecommunications network. Toll Free accepts domestic and international toll free traffic and converts it into IP format for transmission to Customer.
The voice services are dedicated offerings. All use of the voice services will comply with and be subject to the Services Guide and applicable sections of the Centurylink IQ SIP Trunk SLA, which is posted at http://www.centurylink.com/legal/. Centurylink reserves the right to refuse to accept, suspend, or limit any or all of Customer's IP traffic not complying with the Service Guide technical specifications or that Centurylink believes is adversely affecting other customers on the Centurylink network. The Service Guide is incorporated into this Service Exhibit by this reference. Centurylink may reasonably modify the Service Guide to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and to protect Centurylink's network and customers, and such change will be effective upon posting to the Web site.
(ii) Telemarketing. With respect to any outbound long distance: (a) Per the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), telemarketers are required to transmit their telephone number to Caller ID services. As such, all telemarketers using Centurylink commercial services are required to provide CPN/pseudo-CPN and a CGN provisioned with the service: IF A TELEMARKETER DOES NOT PROVIDE CENTURYLINK WITH A NUMBER FOR THIS PURPOSE, THE CALL WILL BE BLOCKED BY CENTURYLINK; and (b) Federal Do Not Calls rules require that companies that telemarket or engage in telephone solicitations adhere to the requirements set forth in 47 C.F.R.
section 64.1200 (FCC) and 16 C.F.R. Part 310 (FTC). Please consult with your company's legal advisor for more information.
(iii) Non-Completed Calls. "Non-completed Call Percentage Threshold" means 30% of all attempted calls, both completed and non-completed. If the percentage of Customer's calls that do not complete (out of all attempted calls) meets or exceeds the Non-completed Call Percentage Threshold for any given monthly billing cycle, Centurylink may, upon 30 calendar days notice to Customer, disconnect any and all circuit(s) providing Service on which the Non-completed Call Percentage Threshold was exceeded.
(iv) International Toll Free. International Toll Free Service "ITFS"/Universal International Freephone Number "UIFN" billing increments, usage restrictions and descriptions are found in the RSS. All rates are located in the ISS.

Centurylink has no liability for Service deficiencies or interruptions caused by Customer, its employees, contractors or agents, or End Users reconfiguring or misconfiguring the Approved Connectivity or Approved CPE.
(e) Queuing Method. Customers using Centurylink IQ Networking Private or Enhanced Ports for Approved Connectivity are strongly encouraged to select Queuing Method ("QM") C, if available. If unavailable, Customers are strongly encouraged to select QM B. If Customer instead selects QM A or QM D, Customer may experience call quality and/or call set-up problems under normal usage patterns. If that occurs, Centurylink's first troubleshooting step will be to implement QM C or QM B. Centurylink will thereafter only engage in further troubleshooting if implementing QM C or QM B does not resolve the problem. If changing the QM resolves the call quality and/or set up problems, Customer agrees to continue using the QM implemented by Centurylink to resolve the issue.
DGM/JCP /N97552/ Amends N71067
(f) Customer-Owned CPE. Instead of renting Approved CPE from Centurylink, Customer may, at its option, utilize Customer-owned CPE with Service. Customer-owned CPE includes CPE purchased from Centurylink or another CPE vendor. All Customer-owned CPE used with Service must: (i) be on Centurylink's Approved CPE list;
(ii) be covered by a Centurylink CPE maintenance plan during the entire Term; (iii) include an operating system that complies with Centurylink's minimum requirements; and (iv) be re-imaged or programmed by Centurylink to work with Service. Notwithstanding subpart (iv), Centurylink will not re-image, program or adjust settings on Customer owned LAN switches unless Customer purchases separate network management service from Centurylink. A copy of Centurylink's current Approved CPE list and list of current minimum operating system requirements are available upon request. Unless Customer purchases CPE maintenance from CenturyLink, Centurylink will not maintain the Customer-owned CPE. Centurylink will also not install or maintain operating system software on Customer-owned CPE. Except where Customer has purchased CPE maintenance from CenturyLink on a Customer-owned CPE device, Customer will not be entitled to SLA remedies if Service fails to meet a Centurylink SLA due to a failure or malfunction of that device.
(g) Off-Net Call Billing. Off-Net Call charges are quoted in full minutes. Each domestic Off-Net Call is measured and billed for an initial 18 seconds and rounded up to the next 6 second increment after the first 18 seconds. Domestic Off-Net Calls are also subject to a 30 second MATR per call. If the MATR is not met in a particular month, CenturyLink may add $0.01 to the per minute charge for all domestic Off-Net Calls during that month. Each international Off-Net Call (except to Mexico) is measured and billed for an initial 30 seconds and rounded up to the next 6 second increment after the first 30 seconds. Each International Off-Net Call to Mexico is measured and billed for an initial one minute and rounded up to the next minute after the first minute.
(h) Unsupported Calls. The Services do not support collect or third party billing. The Services may not support 311, 511 and/or other x11 services (other than 911, 711 and 411 dialing) in all service areas. The Services do not support any outgoing calls from seats that are not associated with an IP Device or Soft Phone (i.e., from Voice Mail Only Seats), unless another telephony device from which the call can be originated via the End User Portal is used. The Services do not support remote bridged line appearances ("Remote BLAs") or remote shared call appearances ("Remote SCAs"). Customer is specifically instructed not to enable Remote BLAs or Remote SCAs on its IP devices used with the Services. Additional information regarding potential issues with Remote BLAs and Remote SCAs is found in the "911 Emergency Service" section of this Service Exhibit.
(i) Area of use. The Service is intended to be used only at one of the Customer PPU locations in the United States (not including U.S. territories). Additionally, Customer may not use IP enabled stationary devices that are assigned to, designated for, or configured for use at one PPU location in any other location, unless Customer has requested a temporary change of its 911 location, and has received approval and the 911 Update Confirmation from Centurylink as set forth in the "Use of Service at a Temporary Location" section below. 911 emergency calls automatically route to the appropriate 911 center based upon the Centurylink-Approved 911 Location. If Customer or an End User tries to use the Service (i) at a location other than a Centurylink-Approved 911 Location (including without limitation, using IP enabled devices assigned to, designated for, or configured for use at one location in a different location) or (ii) outside of the United States (including in any U.S. territories), they do so at their own risk (including without limitation, the risk that Customer will not have access to 911 emergency services and/or such activity violates local laws in the jurisdiction where Customer or an End User tries to use the Service).
OJ Use of Service at a Temporary Location. This section only applies to IQ SIP Trunk if Customer purchases the 911 Emergency Service optional feature with IQ SIP Trunk. Customer may temporarily use the Service at a location other than the Customer PPU location only after obtaining Centurylink's approval either (i) by contacting Centurylink at 1-877-878-7543 or (ii) by submitting a 911 location change requestthrough the MyAccount: VoIP portal. Customer must submit a 911 location change request both before using Service at the temporary location and before returning to the Customer PPU location. Failure to obtain Centurylink's approval is prohibited and constitutes a misuse of the Service. Such misuse will result in 911 calls being routed to the incorrect 911 operator based on incorrect address information. Use of Service at a temporary location may not exceed six (6) months in duration.
Upon submission of Customer's 911 location change request, Centurylink will reject the request, or accept and begin processing the request. Customer is responsible for checking the My 911 Location page of the portal to confirm if the request was rejected or accepted. Customer will be notified of the 911 Update Interval (defined in Section 3.1 below) at the time the request is accepted via the My 911 Location page of the portal. Upon completion of the 911 location change and the 911 Update Interval, an e-mail will be sent to Customer's e-mail address of record notifying Customer
DGM/JCP/N97552/Amends N71067 vs 1-27-15 red!ines that 911 service has been successfully moved and is ready for use ("911 Update Confirmation"). In the event Customer does not receive such confirmation by expiration of the 911 Update Interval, Customer agrees to contact Centurylink at 1-877-878-7543. Any 911 calls placed prior to receiving the 911 Update Confirmation will be routed according to the last Centurylink-Approved 911 Location. If, upon submission of a 911 location change request, Centurylink rejects the change request, Customer understands that Centurylink has not approved using the Service at that new location and, as such, Customer is prohibited from using the Service there. To ensure proper routing of calls to 911, Customer and its End Users must not install or use IP Devices or Soft Phones with the Service to dial 911 at another address without following the above address change process.
(k) Compliance. The Service cannot be used for any unlawful, abusive, or fraudulent purpose, including without limitation, using the Service in a way that: (i) interferes with CenturyLink's ability to provide service to Centurylink customers; (ii) avoids Customer's obligation to pay for communication services; (iii) constitutes a criminal offense; (iv) gives rise to a civil liability; or (v) otherwise violates any laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the Service cannot be used for auto-dialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, telemarketing, fax broadcasting or fax blasting, or for uses that result in excessive usage inconsistent with normal usage patterns.
(I) Authorized Use. Customer and its End Users are the only parties authorized to access the Service.
Customer and its End Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords used by Customer and its End Users and will ensure that all use of the Service complies with the Agreement and this Service Exhibit.
Customer is responsible for unauthorized use of the Service.
(m) Power Outages; Internet Connectivity, Customer Data Network and CPE Failures; Maintenance Work; Moving Equipment. The Service will not operate (including, without limitation, End Users will be unable to access emergency 911 services) if any of the following items fail: (i) power used with the Service; (ii) the Internet connectivity used with the Service (including without limitation, failures caused by suspension or termination of the Internet connectivity under the terms of that service); (iii) the Customer Environment; (iv) the Approved Connectivity router; (v) Customer premises routers and switches; or (vi) the IP enabled devices used with the Service.
Additionally, the Service will not operate (including, without limitation, End Users will be unable to access emergency 911 services) (vii) while maintenance work is being performed, (viii) if the SIP signaling interface fails; or (ix) if equipment used with the Service is moved from the Customer PPU location (equipment is assigned to, designated for, or configured for use at one location and may not be used in any other location including without limitation to another location where Centurylink installed Service). If Customer has requested a temporary change of its 911 location, and has received approval and the 911 Update Confirmation from Centurylink as set forth in the "Use of Service at a Temporary Location" section above, Customer may move the IP Device or Soft Phone only.
(n) Privacy. Centurylink, its affiliates and third-party vendors, may access and use infonmation regarding Customer bandwidth usage and performance of Service to: (i) perform related registration (equipment serial number, activation date, and WTN provided to manufacturer), maintenance, support, and other service-quality activities and
(ii) verify AUP compliance and network performance.
(o) Telephone Numbers. Customer must provision at least one TN for use with Service. The TNs may be new TNs or Ported TNs. If Customer requests Ported TNs, Customer authorizes Centurylink to process its order for Service and notify Customer's current carrier of Customer's decision to switch its local, local toll and long distance services to the Service. Customer will be responsible to promptly provide Centuryllnk with its Customer Service Record (CSR) from customer's current carrier to facilitate porting of numbers. CenturyLink's approved porting window is 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. eastern time. If Customer does not order new TNs from Centurylink, and Ported TNs are not ported within 60 days of the Start of Service Date for a specific location, Centurylink reserves the right to terminate Service at that location. Additionally, the Start of Service Date and commencement of billing will not depend on completion of porting. If Customer requests cancellation of Service, it is Customer's sole responsibility to arrange porting of any telephone numbers Customer wants to retain. If porting of numbers is not completed within 30 days following Customer's request for Service cancellation, Centurylink may terminate Service and Customer will lose all telephone numbers. There may be limitations to number porting between providers. Due to the portability of VoIP services, for example, providers may allow non-geographic numbers to be used in connection with their service.

(p) Third Party Billed Services. The Service does not support billing for third party services such as online subscription services, equipment leases and wireless services. Customer will be responsible for payment of all such charges directly to the third party provider.
(q) Local Origination. Customer agrees that the IQ SIP Trunk Diversion Header, ANI and Calling Party Number delivered with each outbound call will accurately reflect the location of the originating party so that appropriate long distance charges may be applied for each call, where applicable. For example, Customer may not utilize tail end hop off routing to route long distance calls across a private WAN VoIP network and drop off the long distance calls to the PSTN as local calls at a remote gateway. Failure to comply will constitute a material breach of the Agreement.
(r) Sending Alien TNs Over CenturyLink's Network (for IQ SIP Trunk only). CenturyLink allows delivery of outbound calls from Alien TNs, including an 8XX number, to CenturyLink for transmission over IQ SIP Trunk only.
Customer agrees to send a valid TN as a Calling Party Number, whether the TN is registered with CenturyLink or with other providers. The TN must correctly represent the physical location of the call where the call is originating.
(s) End User License Agreements. To utilize certain features of the Service, Customer and its End Users must agree to applicable software license agreements governing such software from Centurylink's software vendors. If Customer or its End Users decline, they will not be able to use the applicable features of the Service.
All software license agreements are between Customer (including its End Users) and CenturyLink's software vendors. CenturyLink has no obligations or responsibility for such software. Customer's sole rights and obligations related to such software, in any way, are governed by the terms of the software license agreements with Centuryllnk's vendors. Notwithstanding any provisions in a third-party provider's end user license agreement, if Customer or its End Users use the third-party software .with Service, the Service will support 911 calling with the software, provided Customer and its End Users expressly follow the instructions for 911 calling found in this Service Exhibit and in the 911 advisory for the Service. In part, those instructions state that a Customer End User must not use the third-party software client to dial 911 except from that End User's registered physical location. Use at a location other than the registered physical location may route 911 calls to an incorrect 911 dispatch center, potentially delaying emergency services. CenturyLink strongly recommends Customer and its End Users become familiar with all of the functional limitations described in this Service Exhibit and the 911 advisory. The URL to access the CenturyLink CenturyLink IQ SIP Trunk 911 advisory is http://www.centurvlink.com/legal/HVIQSIP/911 advisorv.pdf.
That URL is also found on the Help screen in the End User portal. It is also recommended that Customer and its End Users maintain alternative access to 911 services.
(t) Customer's Use of Third-Party Content. Customer is responsible for all content it uses in the music on hold feature of the Service. Customer agrees that it has rights from third parties to use any content belonging to others and will not use any content that is unlawful or violates any copyright, trademark or other laws protecting intellectual property. Customer will defend and indemnify CenturyLink, its Affiliates, agents and contractors against all third party claims for damages, liabilities, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, related to Customer's violation of this provision.
2.3 SLA. Service is subject to the CenturyLink IQ SIP Trunk SLA. The SLA is posted at http://www.centurvlink.com/legal/. CenturyLink reserves the right to amend the SLA effective upon posting to the website or other notice to Customer. All other services, facilities, and components relating to Service, including without limitation any CPE, the Customer Environment, Routers, the Customer SIP signaling interface, Customer premise switches and routers, devices used with the Service, another carrier's IP network, and the PSTN are not included in the ·sLA measurement. The SLA credit will provide Customer's sole remedy for any interruptions or deficiencies in the Service.
3. 911 Emergency Service.
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH IF NOT AVOIDED COULD RESULT IN
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
DGM/JCP/N97552/Amends N71067
3. 1 Required Federal Communications Commission ("FCC'] Warning. The FCC requires that CenturyLink inform Customer of potential limitations to 911 services using Service. The Setvice provides access to 911 emergency service only on stationary devices (and not mobile devices). The Setvice does not support any outgoing calls, including calls to 911 emergency service from IQ Sf P Trunk seats that are not associated to a stationary IP enabled device (e.g, from Voice Mail Only Seats), unless another telephony device from which the call can be originated via the End User Porlaf is used. 911 emergency services will not be available or may not function properly (e.g., they may not route to the correct public safety answering point or "PSAP'J under the following circumstances:
(a) if the Service is used at a location other than a CenturyLink-Approved 911 Location in the United States (not including U.S. territories), or if an I P-enabfed stationary device is moved within the CenturyLink-Approved 911 Location and not reconfigured; (b) if Customer selects a telephone number that is not associated with the geographic area of the installed service and Customer neglects to ensure that the telephone number is registered for the installed CenturyLink-Approved 911 Location (e.g., if Customer chooses a California number for use in a Colorado location);
(c) for initial installation of Service - on average 5 days, but for as long as 30 days after installation of Service due to time required to update 911 databases with customer information; {d) for use of Service at a temporary location untif CenturyLink has completed the 911 Update Interval and sentthe 911 Update Confirmation to Customer's e-mail address of record. '911 Update Interval" is approximately 15 minutes, unless fwther address verification is required, in which case the 911 Update Interval could be up to 72 hours (Important: Customer and End Users should always check for the 911 Update Confirmation before using 911 service after a temporary move); (e) if the Service fails or degrades for any reason, such as failures resulting from power outages, CPE failure (e.g., Internet connectivity routers, Customer's data network and equipment, Customer premises switches and routers, phones, handsets, Soft Phones, and other IP-enabled devices), cable cuts, or any Service or broadband outage or degradation (including without limitation, failures caused by suspension or termination of the Se1Vice); or (f) while maintenance work is being performed. Additionally, CenturyLink does not support Remote BLAs or Remote SC As on IP Devices used with the Service. ff a Remote BLA or Remote SCA is enabled, and Customer or an End User make a 911 call from the Remote BLA or Remote SCA fine, the 911 calf will incorrectly route to the PSAP associated with the 911 location of the telephone number assigned to the Remote BLA or Remote SCA, and not to the 911 location of the calling party.
For example, if an End User has a Remote BLA or Remote SCA for a colleague in Chicago on a phone located in San Francisco, and End User in San Francisco places a 911 calf on the Remote BLA or Remote SCA line, emergency setvices will be routed to the 911 location in Chicago associated with the phone number of the Remote BLA or Remote SCA, not to the 911 location in San Francisco.
3.2 Additional Information Regarding the Limitations of 911 Services. When dialing 911 with the Service, End Users should always state the nature of the emergency, and include End User location and number. The default PSAP may not be able to calf the End User back if the calf is not completed, is dropped or is disconnected, or if End User is unable to tell the PSAP their number and physical location. For Hosted VoIP: The PSAP to which the calf is directed will be based on the street address and Calling Party Number for the CenturyLink-Approved 911 Location.
The Calling Party Number will be delivered to the PSAP with the 911 calf and the PSAP will have the CenturyLink Approved 911 Location associated with that Calling Party Number End User's CenturyLink-Approved 911 Location may not sufficiently pinpoint the specific location of the emergency; therefore, End Users must immediately tell the dispatcher the specific location of the emergency so the PSAP can locate the End User and assist with the emergency. For IQ SIP Trunk: Unless Customer has purchased the 911 Emergency Service optional feature with IQ SIP Trunk, the PSAP to which the calf is directed will be based on the street address for the PPU where IQ SIP Trunk is installed. The number delivered to the PSAP with the 911 calf will have the TN for the PPU where IQ SIP Trunk is installed and the address associated with that number. The number delivered to the PSAP may be different from the number from which an End User is calling 911 based on the options Customer has selected for its PBX and/or /AD, and the PPU address may not sufficiently pinpoint the specific location of the emergency; therefore, End Users must immediately tell the dispatcher their phone number and the specific location of the emergency so the PSAP can calf the End .User back if the calf is not completed or is disconnected, and locate the End User and assist with the emergency. ff Customer orders the 911 Emergency Service optional feature with IQ S/ P Trunk, the "For Hosted VoIP" provisions of this section will apply in lieu of the "For IQ SIP Trunk" provisions of this section.
CENTURYLINK RECOMMENDS THAT CUSTOMER AND END USERS ALWAYS HAVE AN ALTERNA f/VE
MEANS OF ACCESSING TRADITIONAL 911 SERVICES.
DGM/JCP/N97552/Amends N71067
3.3 No Privacy Rights. Customer acknowledges that there is no right of privacy with respect to the transmission of number, name, or address when the Setvice is used to access 911 or other numbers used in conjunction with 911 or similar emergency services, either by Customer or End Users.
3.4 Customer Must Notify End Users of 911 Limits.
Customer will notify all End Users (a) of the limitations on access to 911 emergency service described in the Agreement and this Service Exhibit; and (b) that access to 911 emergency service and an appropriate PSAP is only available at the CenturyLink-Approved 911 Location and is not available using an IP enabled mobile device.
CenturyLink will provide labels that will indicate that 911 service has limited availability and functionality when used with Service, and CenturyLink recommends that the labels be placed on or near the equipment associated with the Services. Additionally, when Customer End Users use a Soft Phone with CenturyLink-provided VoIP services, a 911 warning will appear on the Soft Phone device. The End User will need to click on the display to acknowledge the warning. Customer should direct its End Users to the following URL to review these 911 Emergency Service limitations: http://www.centurv/ink.com!legal/HV/QS/P/911 advisorv.pdf.
3.5 Limitation of Liability. CENTURYLINK, ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS AND CONTRACTORS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY SERVICE PROVIDER PROVIDING SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH ACCESS TO 911 EMERGENCY SERVICE) WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY TO OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON, FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF ANY PROPERTY RELATING TO THE USE, LACK OF ACCESS TO OR PROVISION OF, 911 EMERGENCY SERVICE. CUSTOMER AGREES TO DEFEND AND INDEMNIFY CENTURYLINK, ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS AND CONTRACTORS FROM ALL THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, FINES, PENALTIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO 911 DIALING (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LACK
OF ACCESS TO 911 EMERGENCY SERVICES, CUSTOMER'S FAILURE TO ADVISE CENTURYLINK OF
CORRECT ADDRESSES WHERE IP ENABLED DEVICES USED WITH THE SERVICE ARE LOCATED,
CUSTOMER'S FAILURE TO NOTIFY ALL END USERS OF THE LIMITATIONS ON ACCESS TO 911 EMERGENCY SERVICE, OR CUSTOMER'S MOVEMENT OF AN IP ENABLED DEVICE TO A LOCATION THAT HAS NOT BEEN
INPUT INTO THE SERVICE SYSTEMS).
3.6 Use of IQ SIP Trunk Diversion Headers on 911 Calls (for IQ SIP Trunk only). Customer may only use IQ SIP Trunk Diversion Headers when using the Call Forwarding feature with Service. Customer shall not send IQ SIP Trunk Diversion Headers on all calls, and in particular shall never send IQ SIP Trunk Diversion Headers on 911 calls.
