You agree to promptly notify AT Cyber Systems whenever your personal or billing information changes (including, for example, your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, and credit card number and expiration date).


b. You agree that you are responsible for all use on your account. You understand this means that you accept full liability and responsibility for the actions of anyone who uses the Service via your account, with or without your permission. You acknowledge that AT Cyber Systems will be sending you information via e-mail over the Internet. You agree that the Internet is not a secure network and that third parties may be able to intercept, access, use or corrupt the information and telephone calls you transmit over the Internet.

This also means that you are not to resell or transfer the Service to any other person for any purpose, or make any charge for the use of the Service, without express written permission from AT Cyber Systems in advance. AT Cyber Systems reserves the right to immediately terminate, change the calling plan or modify the Service if AT Cyber Systems determines, in its sole discretion, that you are using the Service for nonresidential or commercial use.

Should there be an interruption in the power supply, the Service will not function until power is restored. A power failure or disruption may require you to reset or reconfigure equipment prior to utilizing the Service. In addition, since the Service is dependent on the broadband connection, the availability of an adequate power supply and correct Equipment configuration, AT Cyber Systems does not guarantee that the Service will be continuous or error-free. AT Cyber Systems will not offer credits for service failures due to power outages or disruptions in your broadband connection.


f. International Calling. You will be able to make calls to destinations outside the United States. Charges for calls to Canada, Mexico and all other international locations will be added to your monthly invoice at reduced rates, which are available on the Web site.

LIMITATIONS ON EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICES – TRADITIONAL 911 AND E911 NOT AVAILABLE.


a. YOU MUST MAINTAIN AN ALTERNATE MEANS OF REQUESTING EMERGENCY SERVICES. You acknowledge and understand that CyberTalk does NOT support traditional 911 and E911 access to emergency services. The limited emergency response service accessible by CyberTalk differs in a number of important ways from traditional emergency response services as further explained below. You must maintain an alternate means of accessing traditional emergency response services. You agree to inform any household residents, guests and other third persons who may be present at the physical location where the Service is utilized as to the important limitations on emergency response service.


b. The Emergency Response Service Will Not Receive Automated Number and Location Identification. You acknowledge and understand that when you call 911 using the Service, the local emergency personnel receiving your call will not be able to identify your phone number or the physical address from which you are calling. You will need to state the nature of your emergency promptly and clearly, including your telephone number and location. You acknowledge and understand that the individual answering the call may not be able to call you back or find your location if the call is unable to be completed, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to tell them your phone number and physical location and/or if the Service is not operational for any reason, including without limitation those reasons listed elsewhere in this Agreement.


c. You Must Register Your Correct Service Address for the Limited Emergency Response Service. You acknowledge and understand that your failure to provide the current and correct physical address and location of your Equipment as the Service Address will result in any emergency calls you make being routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider. During the ordering process, you will provide AT Cyber Systems the physical address where you will use your Service. When you dial 911 with CyberTalk, your call will be routed to the general telephone number for the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) or local emergency service personnel designated for the Service Address you have registered with AT Cyber Systems. You acknowledge and understand that you may not be routed to a dispatcher who is specifically trained and designated to receive incoming emergency response calls, and it is possible that the lines at the PSAP will be occupied and that you will get a busy signal.


d. Emergency Calls from a Location Other Than Your Service Address May Not Be Directed Correctly to a Local Emergency Service Provider. You acknowledge and understand that if you use your Equipment and the Service to call 911 from a location other than the Service Address that you have registered with AT Cyber Systems (e.g., if you move or use the Service while you are traveling), unless you have completed registration of such location as described in Section 6.e below, your call will not be routed to the correct local emergency service provider. The provider to whom any such 911 calls are routed will be unable to transfer the call to a local emergency service provider in the area from which you are calling.


e. You Must Update Your Service Address If You Move or If You Use the Service from a New Location. You acknowledge and understand that the limited emergency response service will not route your emergency calls to the correct local emergency service provider unless and until you have registered your new physical location by updating your Service Address by calling Customer Service at 815-758-9700, and AT Cyber Systems has completed the registration process by updating all appropriate systems. This process may take up to five (5) days. You acknowledge and understand that until your new address is fully registered, your 911 calls using the Service will continue to be directed to the local emergency service provider for the physical address previously provided to AT Cyber Systems.


f. Power or Broadband Service Outage. You acknowledge and understand that a power or broadband service outage will prevent ALL Service, including the dialing of 911. Should there be an interruption in the power supply, CyberTalk, including the limited emergency response service, will not function until power is restored. A power failure or disruption may require you to reset or reconfigure equipment prior to utilizing CyberTalk or the limited emergency response service.


g. Service Outage Due to Suspension of Your Account. You acknowledge and understand that a service outage due to suspension of your account as a result of billing issues or any other reason, including, but not limited to those reasons described elsewhere in this Agreement, will prevent ALL Service, including the limited emergency response service.


h. Possibility of Network Congestion and/or Reduced Speed for Routing Emergency Calls. You acknowledge and understand that calls made using the limited emergency response service of CyberTalk may be subject to network congestion and/or reduced routing speed.

LOCAL NUMBER PORTABILITY. In the event you are transferring an existing phone number that currently is subscribed to a carrier other than AT Cyber Systems for local service, the following terms and conditions apply:


a) You hereby authorize AT Cyber Systems to process your order for the Service and to notify your local telephone company of your decision to switch your local services to the Service and to transfer your telephone number, and represent that you are authorized to take these actions.


b) You agree and acknowledge that you must install and activate your Equipment prior to the date that the number switch becomes effective (“Port Effective Date”).


c) AT Cyber Systems has the right to refuse to import a number if, in its sole discretion, it does not have the infrastructure to support the number.

If you terminate this Agreement after the Guarantee Period, you may keep the AT Cyber Systems-provided Equipment, but you will not be entitled to a refund of any kind.


c. Termination of Service. Either you or AT Cyber Systems may terminate this Agreement without cause by giving notice to the other in accordance with the notice provision set forth in this Agreement.

AT Cyber Systems shall have sole discretion in its determination of whether any of the conditions (1) – (6) is met.


e. Terminated Account. AT Cyber Systems, in its sole discretion, may refuse to accept your application for renewal or re-subscription following a termination or suspension of your use of the Service.
