Tierzero Voice Over Internet Protocol, (VoIP) E911 Notice

The FCC recently issued its order on the provision E911 services that includes a requirement that service providers notify their Customers of the limitations on any Voice over IP service. As a Customer of Tierzero’s Hosted PBX Service, (the “Service”), you should be aware that emergency dialing (E911) may not be available under certain circumstances, as described below:

If you move the IP-compatible equipment that you use to access the Service, (whether a phone or personal computer or other device, softphone, etc…), from the registered location, as specified in your order form. Each phone number is registered in a national database (the “ALI Database”) to a specific site address for emergency response purposes. If you dial E911 from a remote location using the Service, emergency personnel will respond to the registered site location listed in the ALI Database. They will not be able to identify or track your remote location; or
If you are using a number for a location that is outside the Rate Center to which the number is assigned (e.g., a non-native telephone number); or
If there is a failure of your broadband connection, (no matter who is your broadband service provider), or loss of electrical power; or
If you fail to timely notify Tierzero of a change to the registered location for any number assigned to you in connection with the Service so that the ALI Database can be updated in a timely manner.

Due to the foregoing limitations, Tierzero highly recommends that all its Customers retain at least one “plain old telephone service” (“POTS”) line in case of disruption of the Service, (broadband or VoIP- service).

Tierzero Terms of Service

1. General

(a) These Terms and Conditions are part of the Contract (referred to as “Agreement”) between Customer (referred to as “you” and “your”) and Tierzero and/or its affiliated companies (collectively referred to as “we“, “us” and “our”). ”

(b) We may increase the rates in this Agreement to pass through any price increases imposed on us by the providers of the underlying facilities used to provide the Services or, in the case of long distance services, by our wholesale providers of such services. We may also change the rates, terms and conditions applicable to Services by giving you at least 30 days prior written notice. If we materially change the rates, terms and conditions applicable to any of our Services except for pass-through rate increases, you may cancel the affected Services provided you notify us in writing before the effective date of the changes. If you cancel any of the Services due to such material changes, you will only be liable for the charges for those cancelled Service(s) incurred up to and including the date of termination. If you do not cancel the affected Service(s) before the effective date of the changes, you will be deemed to have consented to the changes and to a continuation of the Services.

(c) Under certain conditions, you may request that installation of Services be expedited by agreeing to pay an Expedite Fee. No projected date for expedited installation is guaranteed. Payment of the Expedite Fee only earns an advanced priority for your installation process and installation is not entirely in our control. No credit or refund of the Expedite Fee will be made for delay of the installation date beyond the projected or requested date.

(d) We reserve the right to provide Services to you via our choice of technology and to change the manner in which we deliver Services at any time in our sole discretion provided the functionality of the Service provided remains substantially unaffected by the change.

2. Term and Billing Payment

(a) Effective Date. This Agreement is effective when it has been signed by both parties and your credit application is approved. Upon approval, we will begin as soon as practicable the installation, connection and testing of the lines and/or equipment necessary to provide the Services. If you have renewed Services (“Service Renewal”) for a new term, (“Renewal Term”), the Effective Date of the Renewal Term is the date of the first invoice after the Service Renewal is entered into our billing system.

(b) Term. The initial term of this Agreement ("Initial Term") will begin the date we provide notice to you that the Services are available for your use. This Agreement will continue in effect for the entire Term chosen on the Service Agreement and for any subsequent Renewal Term. The chosen term will automatically renew for successive Renewal Terms of one (1) year each thereafter, unless terminated as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement. However, you may renew Services for a Renewal Term prior to the completion of the Initial Term. You may order additional services at the existing service location, subject to our acceptance, under this Agreement. Services for additional Service Locations may also be ordered, subject to our acceptance, under this Agreement. The initial term for additional Services ordered for additional Service Locations will begin the date we provide notice to you that the services are available for your use, will continue in effect for the entire Term specified on the Service Agreement for the additional Services and shall automatically renew for successive periods of one (1) year each after the end of the Initial Term of the additional Services (each successive period being a Renewal Term for those additional Services), unless terminated as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement. The Terms and Conditions of this Agreement shall extend automatically, following termination, to cover the remaining Term of any additional Services provided. See Section 4 of this Agreement for additional terms and conditions applicable to terminations and Renewal Terms, including the rates during Renewal Terms.

(c) Billing. We will begin invoicing you for the Services after giving you notice that the Services are available for your use and will continue invoicing you on a monthly basis until the Agreement is terminated. We will bill monthly recurring charges in advance and usage charges after the usage occurs. You are responsible for all sales, gross receipts, use, excise, and other federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments based on your use of the Services, which will be separately listed on each invoice along with any fees or surcharges applicable to the Services. We may require, in our sole discretion, that you provide a deposit or other assurance of payment before the Services are provided and/or thereafter. Any required deposit shall not bear interest unless required by law. If you delay acceptance of the Services after receiving notice that Services are available, we may, in our sole discretion, begin charging you for the ordered Services. If you continue to delay acceptance of the Services for more than 60 days after the date the Services are available, you will have materially breached this Agreement, and we will be entitled to terminate this Agreement without further notice and to pursue the remedies in Section 4 of this Agreement.

(d) Payment. Invoices are due and payable upon presentation, and become past due after the Pay By Date printed on the invoice. If you have a bona fide dispute with any of the amounts on the invoice (“Disputed Amount”), you shall pay all amounts not in dispute by the Pay By Date and provide us with a written request for a billing adjustment, together with all supporting documentation, within 45 days after the Pay By Date or your right to any billing adjustment shall be waived. If we agree to adjust all or a portion of the Disputed Amount, you will not be obligated to pay a late payment charge on the adjusted amount. If you fail to pay all non-Disputed charges on our invoice by the Pay By Date, we may impose a late payment charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is less, on the unpaid balance until the amount is paid. We may also suspend your services until all delinquent amounts, including late payment charges, are paid in full. An additional charge will apply to each returned check.

3. Customer Obligations

(a) Our Property. Any equipment installed at your premises by us or shipped to you by Tierzero or our authorized third party vendor remains our personal property, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall give or convey to you any right, title or interest in such equipment. You agree not to interfere with or damage the equipment and you agree to reimburse us for any loss or damage that is caused by your intentional or negligent acts or by the intentional or negligent acts of your agents, employees, authorized users or representatives. You will allow us to promptly remove the equipment from your premises or you will promptly return the equipment to us upon termination of the Services for which the equipment was used.

(b) Building Access. You shall obtain all necessary approvals, applicable permits and/or use fees to be attained, if any, for full access by us prior to installation of Service and while Service is provided.

(c) Responsibility for Message Content. You are solely responsible for all content that you make available on or through our Services. You guarantee that all such content will not infringe on, or contain any content that infringes on, or otherwise violates any copyright, patent or any other right held by a third-party and that all such content will not violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or industry standard.

(d) Use of Services. You will not use the Services for any illegal, unlawful, abusive or fraudulent purpose and will use the Services in such a manner as to prevent damage to our network. Your proper use of the Services includes conforming to all (“AUP”) that are available on request and are displayed at our web site at www.Tierzero.com. The AUP may be amended from time to time. If we materially change the AUP, you shall be provided the same right to notification and cancellation provided in Section 1(b) of this Agreement.

(e) Third-Party Obligations. You are responsible to pay any third-party vendor charges and to arrange for disconnection and payment of charges related to the disconnection of any related services with your current carrier(s).

(f) Network Security. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to take whatever actions you deem necessary to make your computer and voice network and circuits adequately secure from unauthorized access. You further acknowledge that we only provide telecommunications services and certain equipment to you and that we are not responsible for the security of your network and circuits from third parties, or for any damages that may result from any unauthorized access to your network. We urge you to seek independent advice with respect to products, equipment (including configurations), and services available to make your computer network and circuits more secure from third parties.

YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NONE OF OUR EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES OR SUBCONTRACTORS HAS MADE, AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE, ANY REPRESENTATIONS CONCERNING THE SECURITY OF YOUR NETWORK OR THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 3(e).

4. Termination

(a) This Agreement and any orders for Services submitted under it shall remain in effect until terminated as stated on the Contract . After the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive periods of one year each at our rates then in effect for your Services unless either party notifies the other in writing within the last sixty (60) days of the then-current Term of the intent not to allow this Agreement to renew for a successive Term. However, even after termination of this Agreement for Services ordered for the original location(s) covered by this Agreement, the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement will automatically extend to cover any remaining Terms or Service Agreements for any additional Services to additional Service Locations which have not expired. The Term of any such additional Service Agreements shall be subject to the same automatic renewal and termination notice provisions as are contained in this Agreement. If either party gives the other party the required notice of a decision not to allow the Agreement or the Term of any additional Services to additional Service Locations to renew at the expiration of a Term, actual termination of Services will not occur until the later of the end of the then-current Term or thirty (30) days after receipt of that notification. If you elect to terminate the Agreement or any orders for Services before the installation of the Services, you must do so in writing, and you shall pay to Tierzero as a termination charge an amount equal to: (1) the non-recurring charges applicable to the Services, even if initially waived, unless those charges have already been paid, and (2), if this Agreement is for a Term of one year, an amount equal to three times the one month recurring charges, or, if this Agreement is for a Term of more than one year, an amount equal to six times the one month recurring charges. You agree that such a termination charge is a reasonable amount because, among other reasons, it would be difficult or impossible to calculate the exact amount of damages suffered by us if you terminate this Agreement or any orders for Services.

(b) Either party may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days notice if the other party materially breaches the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other party fails to cure the default within the 30-day period, including, but not limited to, your failure to pay our invoices for the Services by the Pay By Date. If you terminate this Agreement after our material breach, then you will be responsible only for charges for the period before the date of termination. If, however, we terminate this Agreement as a result of your material breach, or you terminate this Agreement or any Services provided to you for any reason other than our material breach, you shall pay to us a termination charge as follows:

(i) If the effective date of the termination occurs before the last year of the Initial or Renewal Term, we will determine the termination charge as though you had elected an Initial Term ending within the Term year in which you terminate (“Revised Alternate Term”). For example, if you terminate in the 13th month of a three year Term, the Revised Alternate Term would be two years. We will also determine the monthly recurring charge (“Default MRC”) that would have applied if you had chosen the Revised Alternate Term when you first selected a Term. You will then pay us a termination charge equal to: (1) the non-recurring charges for the terminated Services, even if those charges had been initially waived (only applies during Initial Term); (2) the difference between the monthly recurring charges you actually paid for the terminated Services through the effective date of termination and the Default MRCs that would have applied under a Revised Alternate Term; and (3) 50% of the Default MRCs for the period starting with the effective date of termination and ending on the expiration of the Revised Alternate Term.

(ii) If the effective date of the termination occurs during the last year of the Initial or Renewal Term, you will pay us a termination charge equal to: (1) The non-recurring charges for the terminated Services, even if those charges had been initially waived (only applies during InitialTerm); and (2) 50% of the monthly recurring charges for the period starting with the effective date of termination and ending on the expiration of the Initial or Renewal Term.

If you terminate this Agreement or any Services provided to you for any reason other than our material breach, you shall provide us with written notice 30 days in advance, and the effective date of the termination will be the end of that 30 day notice period for purposes of determining the remaining time over which the termination charge will be calculated. If you do not give us that notice, then the effective date of termination shall be the date we terminate this Agreement. For partial months, remaining monthly recurring charges will be determined on a prorated basis.

All termination charges are due and payable immediately on the effective date of termination (including the 50% of remaining monthly recurring charges), and are in addition to any monthly recurring charges, usage charges and other charges due as of effective date of termination.

You agree that each of the above termination charges is a reasonable amount to compensate us for lost MRCs and usage charges following termination. You agree because, among other reasons, it would be difficult or impossible to calculate the exact amount of such damages suffered by us if you terminate this Agreement or any orders for Services.

(c) In addition to any other recoveries we are entitled to, we shall be entitled to recover from you all of the costs we incur (including court costs and reasonable attorneys fees) to collect any delinquent charges owed by you along with all other damages we incur as a result of your breach of this Agreement, including without limitation termination charges, past due recurring and usage charges, any damage to our equipment and any amounts we have to pay to third parties because of violations by you of our AUP.

(d) Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement, inclusive of sub-sections, shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

5. Warranty Disclaimer

(a) This Agreement and any orders for Services submitted under it shall remain in effect until terminated as stated in this Section 4. After the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive periods of one year each at our rates then in effect for your Services unless either party notifies the other in writing within the last sixty (60) days of the then-current Term of the intent not to allow this Agreement to renew for a successive Term. However, even after termination of this Agreement for Services ordered for the original location(s) covered by this Agreement, the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement will automatically extend to cover any remaining Terms or Service Agreements for any additional Services to additional Service Locations which have not expired. The Term of any such additional Service Agreements shall be subject to the same automatic renewal and termination notice provisions as are contained in this Agreement. If either party gives the other party the required notice of a decision not to allow the Agreement or the Term of any additional Services to additional Service Locations to renew at the expiration of a Term, actual termination of Services will not occur until the later of the end of the then-current Term or thirty (30) days after receipt of that notification. If you elect to terminate the Agreement or any orders for Services before the installation of the Services, you must do so in writing, and you shall pay to Tierzero as a termination charge an amount equal to: (1) the non-recurring charges applicable to the Services, even if initially waived, unless those charges have already been paid, and (2), if this Agreement is for a Term of one year, an amount equal to three times the one month recurring charges, or, if this Agreement is for a Term of more than one year, an amount equal to six times the one month recurring charges. You agree that such a termination charge is a reasonable amount because, among other reasons, it would be difficult or impossible to calculate the exact amount of damages suffered by us if you terminate this Agreement or any orders for Services.

(d) Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement, inclusive of sub-sections, shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

6. Miscellaneous Provisions

(a) Assignment and Succession. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement without our prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any unauthorized assignment or transfer shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successor and authorized assigns.

(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the State of California, and shall be construed pursuant to the laws of the State of California without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof.

The arbitration will be held in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA. Either party may initiate arbitration by providing written demand for arbitration (with a copy to the other party), a copy of this Agreement and the administrative fee required by the AAA rules to the AAA office serving the Arbitration Site. The remaining cost of the arbitration shall be shared equally by the parties unless the arbitration award provides otherwise. Each party shall bear the cost of preparing and presenting its case.

The arbitrator’s decision shall follow the plain meaning of this Agreement and shall be final, binding and enforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Tierzero Service Level Agreement

This Service Level Agreement (SLA) applies to customers of Tierzero’s T1/T3/DS3/Ethernet, Dark Fiber, Voice, and Colocation services. This SLA provides Customers with certain rights and remedies regarding the performance of the Tierzero Network. The “Tierzero Network” means the Tierzero owned and operated Internet Protocol (IP) routing infrastructure consisting of selected Tierzero points of presence (POPs) and the connections between them. The Tierzero Network does not include Customer premises equipment or any Telco access facilities connecting Customer’s premises (or any Tierzero Colocation site, if applicable) to such infrastructure.

Availability Guarantee

Tierzero’s goal is to make the Tierzero Network available to Customer free of Network Outages 100% of the time. A “Network Outage” is an instance in which Customer is unable to transmit and receive IP packets due to a Tierzero Network (Tierzero data centers or facilities) outage for more than 15 consecutive minutes, excluding outages relating to Tierzero’s scheduled or emergency maintenance and upgrades or interruptions or degradations caused by access facilities, Telco lines or hardware not specifically provided or resold by Provider. A “Local Loop” failure is not a Network Outage.  Upon Customer’s request, Tierzero will issue a credit to Customer for Network Outages occurring during any calendar month that are reported by Customer to Tierzero and confirmed by Tierzero’s measurements of the Tierzero Network. SUCH CREDIT WILL BE EQUAL TO ONE HOUR OF THE SERVICE CHARGES PAID BY CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO MORE THAN ONE DAY’S WORTH OF CREDIT FOR NETWORK OUTAGES IN A GIVEN DAY.

Limitation On Warranties, Remedies And Liability

Customer agrees that Tierzero’s services are provided “as is,” except to the extent provided below. Tierzero makes no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness of the Tierzero Network for a particular purpose, title or non-infringement or any warranty arising by usage of trade, course of dealing or course of performance. In addition, Tierzero does not warrant that the Tierzero Network will be without failure, delay, interruption, error, omission, or loss of content, data, or information. Neither Tierzero nor its officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents, or any other service provider or vendor who furnishes services, devices, or products to the customer for Tierzero’s service will be liable for unauthorized access to Tierzero’s or Customer’s transmission facilities or premises or equipment or for unauthorized access to, or alteration, theft, or destruction of, Customer’s data files, programs, procedures, or information through accident, fraudulent means, devices, or any other method, regardless of whether such damage occurs as a result of Tierzero’s or its service provider’s or vendors’ negligence. Statements and descriptions concerning Tierzero’s Network, if any, by Tierzero or Tierzero’s agents or installers are informational and are not given as a warranty of any kind. In no event will Tierzero, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents or any other service provider who furnishes services to Customer in connection with Tierzero’s Network be liable for any damages, including but not limited to personal injury, wrongful death, property damage, loss of data, loss of revenue or profits, or for special, incidental or consequential damages of any kind arising out of or in connection with Customer’s use or inability to use the Tierzero Network or a Network Outage. These limitations apply to claims founded in breach of contract, breach of warranty, product liability, tort, and any and all other theories of liability. These limitations apply whether or not Tierzero was informed of the likelihood of any particular type of damages. Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Customer.

TIERZERO’S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER ITS AGREEMENT TO CUSTOMER WILL NOT EXCEED ITS SERVICE CHARGES TO CUSTOMER FOR THE AFFECTED TIME PERIOD. TIERZERO WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIRD PARTY FEES OR CHARGES OF ANY KIND AND IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY BUSINESS LOSSES RELATED TO USE OF SERVICE.

Latency and Packet Loss Over The Internet

Due to the public nature of the Internet, Tierzero does not guarantee or warrant latency or packet loss over the Internet.

Exceptions

Customer shall not receive any credits under this SLA in connection with any failure or deficiency of the Tierzero Network caused by, or associated with:  (A) circumstances beyond Tierzero’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance, interruption of, or delay in, transportation, unavailability of, or interruption or delay in, telecommunications or third party services, failure of third party software, or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in, or equipment needed for, provision of the Service Level Agreement; (B) failure of access circuits to the Tierzero Network, unless such failure is caused solely by Tierzero;  (C) general Telco failure; (D) scheduled or emergency maintenance; (E) DNS issues outside the direct control of Tierzero; (F) outage or error of any Tierzero measurement system; (G) Customer’s acts or omissions, including without limitation, any negligence, willful misconduct, or use of the Tierzero Network or Tierzero services in breach of Tierzero’s Terms and Conditions and Acceptable Use Policy, by Customer, or others authorized by Customer.

Credit Request And Payment Procedures

Requests for credits must be made via email to Tierzero Billing at billing@tierzero.com. Each request in connection with a Network Outage must be received by Tierzero within seven days of the Network Outage. Notwithstanding anything in this SLA to the contrary, the total amount credited to a Customer in connection with Network Outages in any calendar month will not exceed the service charges paid by Customer for such month. Each validly requested credit will be applied to a Customer invoice within 2 billing cycles after Tierzero’s receipt of such request. Credits are exclusive of any applicable taxes charged to Customer or collected by Tierzero.

General

Tierzero reserves the right to change or modify this SLA to benefit the Customer, and will post changes to a Web site designated by Tierzero and made available to Customer. Except as set forth in this SLA, Tierzero makes no claims regarding the availability or performance of the Tierzero Network.

This exchanging of requests, acknowledgements, and final confirmations (commonly referred to as a “double opt-in” process) must be adhered to in their entirety for any mass or commercial email to be considered “solicited” by Tierzero.

Users that send mass or commercial e-mail are required to maintain complete and accurate records of all e-mail subscription requests, specifically including the email and associated headers sent by every Customer, and to immediately provide Tierzero with such records upon request of Tierzero. Subscriptions that do not have a specific recipient generated email request associated with them are invalid, and are strictly prohibited. In the absence of positive, verifiable proof to the contrary, Tierzero considers complaints by recipients of e-mails to be de-facto proof that the recipient did not subscribe or otherwise request the e-mail(s) about which a complaint was generated.

Resellers and Downstream Service Providers

Resellers of Tierzero services are responsible for informing their customers of this Policy and for enforcing its restrictions with regard to their customers’ actions. Breach or non-compliance of this Policy by a customer or end-user or a reseller shall be considered a violation of this Policy.

You will be held responsible for any misuse of the Service that occurs through your account whether due to unauthorized access of your account by a third party, or due to the actions of any third party agent that acts on your behalf, or for your benefit. You must take the appropriate actions to maintain the security of your passwords and user information.

You must configure your system in a secure manner. Should your system be exploited by unauthorized persons, you are responsible for both reporting the violation (where applicable), and fixing the exploited system. For instance, should the security of a mail server be compromised to distribute unsolicited emails, you are responsible for immediately re-configuring the system to prevent further unauthorized use. Users are prohibited from interfering or attempting to interfere with services (“Denial of Service Attacks”), whether intentionally or through neglect, of any other user, host, or network. The prevention of “unintentional attacks,” such as infection and subsequent propagation of computer viruses, are the responsibility of every user: anti-virus software should be installed on every system which connects to Tierzero networks.

Users are prohibited from injecting, intentionally or negligently, false or unauthorized network control data into Tierzero networks, for instance in the form of incorrect routing or DNS information.

Reporting Obligations

You are responsible for immediately reporting to Tierzero any issue that could compromise the stability, service or security of any user or system connected to Tierzero networks.

Information Collected by Tierzero Policy

It is Tierzero’s policy to collect only the personally identifiable information (information that identifies you individually) that is needed to provide the Services with the quality you desire and deserve.

Customers – If you are a customer of Tierzero, personally identifiable information may include your name, address, age, telephone numbers, account number, social security number, user IDs, passwords, email addresses, and other information as provided to Tierzero online or as a customer of Tierzero. Tierzero’s policy is to retain such information only as long as needed for business purposes or as the law may require. Tierzero takes reasonable steps to protect your account information from unauthorized access.

Website Visitors – When you access Tierzero’s website, access log information about your visit is automatically collected, including information such as the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses assigned (numbers assigned to your computer while online), bandwidth used, system and connection performance, browsers used, dates and times of access, and Internet resource requests, including requests to access web pages. Tierzero does not store emails sent and received unless left in a Tierzero account file. As explained below, Tierzero could be required by court order to disclose such information if left on its system.

Online Registrants – In visiting the Tierzero website, registration with Tierzero or participation in a contest, survey or online transaction may require certain personally identifiable information. When asking you for such information, you will be informed of how it will be used and you may elect not to participate.

Cookies – Tierzero, or a vendor that places advertising on Tierzero websites, may use “cookies” to collect information about your visit to the website and to manage information concerning your preferences. A “cookie” is a small computer code added to a file on your computer as a record of its visit. It does not collect or provide your name or any other personal information about you. It can, however, be used by the website that placed it to note information about your visit, such as your type of web browser, operating system and Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, to better tailor the site for you. It can also be used to recognize you when you log in as a registered user or as a repeat visitor returning to Tierzero’s website. This allows Tierzero to tailor its site by remembering you and any options you select. Tierzero may share non-personal information obtained from the varying kinds of cookies and web beacons (see below) with vendors, advertisers and others. You can control what cookies are accepted by your computer through the settings on your web browser or by deleting them from your files. Doing so, however, may limit the personalization available to you.

Third Party Cookies and Web Beacons – These forms of computer code are sometimes placed by advertisers or others with connection to a web page and may be read by the advertisement’s provider. They may use a form of code called a “web beacon” or “clear GIF.” These are usually contained in a transparent image on a page or in an image on an email message and serve as a way to gather information about your visit, such as your Internet Protocol Address and information or statistics about your visit. As with cookies, you can use your browser settings to control web beacons.

Advertisers and other Websites – Tierzero does not control the privacy policies of advertisers or of websites you may link to from Tierzero’s websites or by using its services. You should review their websites for questions about their Internet security and privacy.

Use and Sharing Use Policy – Tierzero considers any personally identifiable information received about you to be confidential, and it is Tierzero’s policy to use it only in providing its websites and internet services – from sales and installation, to operations, administration, advertising, marketing, support, network provision, maintenance, communications with you, billing, collection and in other ways related to its services. Tierzero may also use such information in dealing with fraud and unauthorized use of its services. Tierzero may associate personal account information with data from third parties about you or similar persons to better predict your product and service preferences for use in programming, advertising transactions and to market its services to you.

Aggregate Information – Tierzero uses aggregate information about its customers and website visitors for a variety of purposes. Such aggregate information does not identify individual customers. Tierzero may share such aggregate and related demographic information with third parties.

Retention Policy – Tierzero may retain personal customer information in its regular business records as long as someone is a customer or until no longer needed for business or legal purposes. Tierzero’s security measures for this information are discussed below.

Sharing Policy – Tierzero’s overall policy is not to disclose to others outside of Tierzero and its affiliates, vendors and business partners any personally identifiable information about its customers without their prior written or electronic consent. Tierzero does not sell or provide your personal information to parties unconnected with the services we provide without your permission.

Special Exceptions – Tierzero reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable information in its possession if Tierzero has a good faith belief that it is necessary to: (1) comply with the law or legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend its rights or property or those of others; (3) respond to fraud, abuse or unauthorized reception; (4) enforce this Policy, other policies, or related standards; or (5) act in an emergency to protect your safety or that of another. Tierzero may also share information if Tierzero sells or transfers all or a portion of the business operations, merge or combine with another organization.

Third Parties – Tierzero sometimes uses affiliates, vendors or third party partners in association with the provision of its Services and may provide personally identifiable information about users for such purposes. In providing such information, Tierzero requires that the outside party maintain at least the same level of confidentiality that is maintained by Tierzero for such information. In addition, any use by the vendor or third party may not exceed that needed to provide its Services.

Internet Communications – Unless addressed to Tierzero, email messages, instant messages, online chats, or the content of other online communications that reside on or pass through its Service are not read. Tierzero may however, retain and provide such communications if legally required to do so. Incoming and outgoing email messages are generally scanned electronically to identify and filter out likely spam and for viruses and related problems that could harm your equipment, the network or other users.

Law Enforcement Legal Requirements – As a provider of Internet communications services, Tierzero may receive legal requests for customer information from government and law enforcement personnel. Tierzero may also receive discovery requests in civil litigation. In all such cases, Tierzero’s policy is to cooperate as required by law, but to provide only such information as the law requires. This information is generally sought by subpoena served on Tierzero. Under current law, many criminal subpoenas require that Tierzero not disclose or notify you of the request. Tierzero disclaims any duty to notify you of receipt of any legal requests.

Copyright Infringement Claim Procedure – If you believe that specific content on the Tierzero network infringes upon your copyrighted materials, please provide Tierzero with the following information: an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; a description of where the allegedly infringing material is located on the Website, including the url’s of the particular web pages; your address, telephone number, and email address; a written statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use on the Website is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing information is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
