ATTACHMENT A – ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
1. General Policy:
Mi3 reserves the sole discretion to deny or restrict your Service, or immediately to suspend or terminate your Service, if the use of your Service by you or anyone using it, in our sole discretion, violates the Agreement or other Mi3 policies, is objectionable or unlawful, interferes with the functioning or use of the Internet or the Mi3 network by Mi3 or other users, or violates the terms of this Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”).
2. Specific Examples of AUP Violations.
The following are examples of conduct which may lead to termination of your Service. Without limiting the general policy in Section 1, it is a violation of the Agreement and this AUP to: (a) access without permission or right the accounts or computer systems of others, to spoof the URL, DNS or IP addresses of Mi3 or any other entity, or to penetrate the security measures of Mi3 or any other person’s computer system, or to attempt any of the foregoing; (b) transmit uninvited communications, data or information, or engage in other similar activities, including without limitation, “spamming”, “flaming” or denial of service attacks; (c) intercept, interfere with or redirect email or other transmissions sent by or to others; (d) introduce viruses, worms, harmful code or Trojan horses on the Internet; (e) post off-topic information on message boards, chat rooms or social networking sites; (f) engage in conduct that is defamatory, fraudulent, obscene or deceptive; (g) violate Mi3’s or any third party’s copyright, trademark, proprietary or other intellectual property rights; (h) engage in any conduct harmful to the Mi3 network, the Internet generally or other Internet users; (i) generate excessive amounts of email or other Internet traffic; (j) use the Service to violate any rule, policy or guideline of Mi3; (k) use the service in any fashion for the transmission or dissemination of images containing child pornography or in a manner that is obscene, sexually explicit, cruel or racist in nature or which espouses, promotes or incites bigotry, hatred or racism; or (l) download or use the Service in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria or to destinations that are otherwise controlled or embargoed under U.S. law, as modified from time to time by the Departments of Treasury and Commerce.
3. Copyright Infringement/Repeat Infringer Policy.
Mi3 respects the intellectual property rights of third parties. Accordingly, you may not store any material or use Mi3’s systems or servers in any manner that constitutes an infringement of third party intellectual property rights, including under US copyright law. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable laws, it is the policy of Mi3 to suspend or terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the Service provided to any subscriber or account holder who is deemed to infringe third party intellectual property rights, including repeat infringers of copyrights. In addition, Mi3 expressly reserves the right to suspend, terminate or take other interim action regarding the Service of any Subscriber or account holder if Mi3, in its sole judgment, believes that circumstances relating to an infringement of third party intellectual property rights warrant such action. These policies are in addition to and do not affect or modify any other rights Mi3 may have under law or contract. If you believe that copyrighted material has been used in violation of this policy or otherwise been made available on the Service in a manner that is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law, please follow the instructions for contacting Mi3’s designated Copyright Agent as set forth in Mi3’s Copyright Policy located at http://www.Mi3connect.com/terms.html.
Mi3 may, but is not required to, monitor your compliance, or the compliance of other subscribers, with the terms, conditions or policies of this Agreement and AUP. You acknowledge that Mi3 shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pre-screen, refuse, move or remove any content available on the Service, including but not limited to content that violates the law or this Agreement.
4. Theft or Fraudulent Use of the Service; Loss or Theft of Equipment.
If your Equipment is lost or stolen, or if you become aware at any time that the Service has been stolen or is being fraudulently used, it is very important that you notify Mi3 immediately, so that Mi3 can suspend your Service (and the ability to use any Equipment that you have purchased or leased for use in association with that Service) in order to prevent further usage and limit your liability. You can do this by calling Mi3’s customer service department at (646) 722-7200. Once you notify Mi3, Mi3 will suspend your Service (i.e., until you possess replacement Equipment usable with the Service or such fraudulent activity has ceased, as applicable), and you will not be responsible for charges incurred with the lost or stolen Equipment during that period of suspension. If a Term Commitment applies to your Service, then you will be obligated to fulfill the remainder of your Term Commitment, which will be deemed extended by the full duration of the period that your Service is suspended; and, if you do not fulfill the remainder of your Term Commitment, then the Early Termination Fee (or the restocking fee, as applicable) will become due and will be chargeable automatically by Mi3 to your Card (or through an EFT, if and as applicable).

4. Internet Filtering and Monitoring Services (MI3)
1. For the purposes of this section, Mi3 refers to the suite of internet filtering services offered by Mi3, and when used to refer to an organization, any Mi3 owned or affiliated entity providing such services.
2. License to download. If you ordered a service that allows downloading of software, this Agreement constitutes a license for you, the Account Administrator (herein referred to as “User”), to download and use Mi3 Software as intended herein. Under the terms of this license, Mi3 Software, intellectual property, advertising, copyrighted material, or any other Mi3 product may not be re-sold without the express written consent of Mi3. All Users of Mi3 Software must read and agree to the terms of this privacy policy and User agreement.
3. Use of Mi3 Software by Children. Children under the age of 13 must have consent of parent(s) or legal guardian to use Mi3 Software and/or Mi3 Accountability Reports. All Accountability Partners of children under the age of 13 must have consent of parent(s) or legal guardian to act as Accountability Partners.
4. Acknowledgement of User to use and pay for services; payment schedule. You, as the User of Mi3 Software, agree that you are 18 years old or older and are the owner of all computers and mobile digital devices, or have been authorized by the owner of all said devices, on which Mi3 Software is to be installed. Because other people may use said devices, it is incumbent upon you, the User, to ensure that all other Users of said devices have read and agree to this User-Privacy agreement. You also agree to pay a monthly or annual recurring fee for the services of Mi3 Software, to be billed in advance, before the beginning of the service period. Credit cards will be charged in advance of the service, typically 5 to 7 days before the beginning of the next period of service. Mi3 will provide a statement by e-mail to the e-mail address provided in the signup procedure detailing charges that have been made. In the event of termination by you, the User, charges already processed will not be refunded.
5. Cancellation of service; identification of User. Service may be cancelled at any time by you, the User, for any reason or no reason at all upon notice to Mi3. Uninstalling Mi3 Software does not constitute cancellation of service. In order to cancel, you must call the Customer Support team. Mi3 reserves the right to cancel service for breach of this contract. Moreover, Mi3, at any time, without advance notice, with or without cause, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to refuse, cancel, and/or discontinue service to any individual or organization. Failure on the part of you, the User, to provide payment for the service of Mi3 will result in termination of service by Mi3, and until proper Uninstall procedures (provided by Mi3) are followed, may result in an inability to access the Internet by computers owned and/or operated by User (for the purposes of this agreement, “computer(s)” includes all cell phone devices and/or Personal Digital Devices). In the event Mi3 receives a request to verify any username or password, to cancel any account, or to receive the uninstall code, such will be provided upon our judgment (and solely upon our judgment) that the Account Administrator or other authorized person is the person making such request; it is your responsibility to ensure the security and accuracy of all identification information on your account (including your verification question and its subsequent answer) in this regard.
6. Refund policy. From the date of first service, users who cancel within the first 30 days of service will, upon request, be refunded the entire amount billed during that first 30 days. Beyond the first 30 days of service, in the event of termination by you, the User, charges already processed will not be refunded once the term of service has begun. Only the User or the person whose name is on the account’s credit card can have requests for refunds honored. Any member creating accounts with the intention of bypassing accountability shall forfeit any right for a refund.
7. Privacy; use of information provided to Mi3. Mi3 is committed to protecting your privacy concerning any information collected under the terms of your agreement(s). In acknowledging your agreement with this policy, you as the User have agreed to allow Mi3 to monitor and/or filter your use of the Internet at your own computer. Certain levels of internet filtering provided by Mi3 require you to assign a person or group of people that will monitor your Internet usage, called Accountability Partners. If you subscribe to such a service, You, the User, agree that your Internet use may be monitored and reported to you and/or your Accountability Partners; monitored Internet use includes, among other things, web browsing, newsgroups, FTP, IP addresses, times of use, and may also include recording and reporting of additional Mi3 accounts owned by you which may have different Accountability Partners. If one or more Accountability Partners are deleted, or if the account is canceled, Accountability Partners may be provided with a then-current report of activity up to the time of deletion or cancellation. In turn, Mi3 promises that any information collected will only be provided to you or your Accountability Partner(s) as per this agreement, except upon specific request by you or your active Accountability Partner(s), and limited to the purposes of said request. Except as noted above, and in paragraph 15, use by Mi3 will be expressly limited to internal use only for the purposes of database management or systems operations; in the event that Mi3 uses any data collected for such internal purposes, no such data will be preserved in any format that is associated with your name or account. Accountability data is kept for 30 days, after which it is permanently and irretrievably deleted from our databases. After deletion, the data cannot be recovered by Mi3. If a permanent record is desired, it is incumbent upon members and/or Accountability Partners either to make an electronic copy or hard copy of detailed logs or other data. Information which will be retained securely and indefinitely by Mi3 includes names, usernames, passwords, billing information (including credit card), demographics (including IP addresses), and other account information. Mi3 will never share any information gathered under this contract with any third party unless requested by you, the User, or unless required to do so by a court of law; this information includes all information regarding your Internet use, demographic data, your personal address/phone/e-mail information, your credit card information, or any other information gathered under the terms of this agreement. In the event that you sign up for Mi3 Software through any organization which is affiliated with Mi3 (including Mi3 affiliates, strategic partners, resellers, or licensees), you agree to any/all of the said organization’s User/Privacy Agreement(s), which may include the release of your personal contact information to said organization(s). In the event that the person signing up for Mi3 Software is different from the person, persons, and/or organization responsible for payment of the credit card used on the account, it is understood that the phrases “you,” “your,” and/or “you, the User” shall include the person, persons, and/or organization responsible for payment of the credit card used on the account.
8. Restriction against re-selling license to use Mi3 Software. You, as the User, agree not to purchase and then resell Mi3 Software, nor include Mi3 Software as any package which you otherwise sell or market, without express written consent of Mi3.
9. Voluntary provision of information and agreement to disclose; protection of password. You, as the User, are voluntarily providing Mi3 with certain information and with permission to monitor and record use of the Internet at your computer. You, as the User, agree that all users of your computer and User ID will be informed that monitoring/recording is being made, and that in so being informed, other users will not have their privacy invaded. You should recognize the value of your User ID, and that casually allowing others to use your ID can lead to inappropriately ascribing Internet use to your own account; and you, the User, agree that Mi3 is not responsible for maintaining the privacy of the User ID information either of you or your Accountability Partners (see also paragraph 5).
10. Agreement to comply with laws and restrictions on harmful transmissions. You, as the User, agree that you will comply with all applicable laws regarding Internet use, both now and in the future as laws are generated which may affect use of the Internet. You also agree not to attempt to pursue in any way any transmission of information to Mi3 servers or other equipment which could be harmful to its database or other functions. The transmission of any material in violation of any state or United States regulations is expressly prohibited, and will result in immediate termination of use.
11. No warranty or guarantee of service. Mi3 makes no warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, those of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This includes loss of data resulting from delays, nondeliveries, misdeliveries or service interruption however caused. Mi3 does not guarantee continuous or uninterrupted monitoring of Internet use. Routine maintenance and periodic system repairs, upgrades and reconfigurations, public emergency or necessity, force majeure, restrictions imposed by law, acts of God, labor disputes and other situations, including mechanical or electronic breakdowns may result in temporary impairment or interruption of service. Every effort will be made to perform routine maintenance between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m. (EST).
12. Limitations on security of e-mail transmissions. The security of any/all e-mail messages sent by Mi3 cannot be guaranteed on the Internet as information can be intercepted, corrupted, lost, destroyed, arrive late or incomplete, or contain viruses. Mi3 does not accept liability for any errors, omissions or viruses in the contents of e-mail correspondence sent to you or your Accountability Partner which arise as a result of e-mail transmission.
13. Data provided not to be construed as interpretation of the data. Reports and other data provided by Mi3 to you, the User, or to your Accountability Partners consist of data without interpretation. The analysis of sites provided by Mi3 proprietary rating procedures and algorithms is, in itself, data corresponding to results of those procedures and algorithms. Similarly, the summaries of reports, which Mi3 refers to as the “Quick Look,” are also data corresponding to a proprietary procedure and algorithm, and are not, nor are they intended to be, an interpretation of any data. The statements “Report Looks Good,” “Review Suggested,” and “Close Review Recommended” are summaries of data collected and given in the report, are based wholly on the data of individual sites in the report, and do not indicate a pattern of behavior or intent on the part of the User. It is entirely up to you as the User and to your Accountability Partners to interpret the data (including the Quick Look) in terms of the actual content of any particular site or sites, the appropriateness for the User viewing those sites, or any motivation or pattern of viewing by the User.
14. Disclosure as to accuracy of rating. Owing to the ever-changing nature of the Internet, no rating system and/or filter application will perform without error 100% of the time. Mi3 does not accept liability and makes no warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, incorrect ratings, which may also result in incorrect blocking and/or allowing websites when the filter is in use, whether the rating is claimed to be too high or too low, of any/all website source code, websites, website domains, website URLs, website titles, and electronic transmissions through any/all Internet protocols. Mi3 strives for perfection in its Dynamic Scoring Filter and Accountability Software applications. Occasionally, but rarely, a website may be rated incorrectly. If you believe a website is rated incorrectly, you may request a rating change. Mi3 reserves the right to accept or deny any/all rating change requests. Final judgment on the rating of any particular website will remain at the sole discretion of Mi3.
15. Rating Change Request constitutes request to view report. When a rating change request or request by phone, e-mail, or other means for assistance in understanding an Accountability Report is submitted by the User and/or other members on this account and/or an Accountability Partner, said request constitutes permission by you, the User, to allow Mi3 to view said member report for the purpose of analysis. The said request itself shall be retained by Mi3 indefinitely, but the associated report will not be retained, in compliance with paragraph #5 above; however, any portions of reports included in e-mail correspondence between the member or Accountability Partner and Mi3 will be retained by Mi3 for the purposes of documenting the correspondence. Mi3 will not make interpretations of data provided in reports.
16. Indemnification, limit of liability. You shall indemnify Mi3, its shareholders, affiliates, officers, directors, licensees and licensers from any and all claims and expenses, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees arising from any cause. Furthermore, liability of Mi3 shall in any case be limited to and shall not exceed the total amount of monies paid by you, the User, to Mi3 for use of the Mi3 Software. The parties agree that any dispute arising from this agreement shall have as its venue Brooklyn, NY, wherein are located the offices of Mi3.
17. Amendments to this agreement. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by Mi3 without notification to users; such amendments may be made either by changes in this Agreement on the Mi3 website, or by e-mail.
18. Mi3 SSL Services.
1. The following terms apply to Mi3 SSL Filtering Services
2. With SSL filtering, the filter examines your SSL-encrypted communications. This means that the filter has access to data which may be sensitive and/or of highly personal nature. This includes, but is not limited to, data from financial institutions, credit card transactions, passwords, merchant accounts, and other accounts. After examination, the information is re-encrypted, and sent to your browser. This patch allows your browser to accept the data, after it has been examined by the filter.
3. Mi3 is committed to safeguarding your sensitive information. The filter system does not retain any of the information it examines, and the data is not available to anyone. The systems are hardened, and protected from hacking. However, it is impossible to anticipate all possible circumstances.
4. You additionally agree to appoint Mi3 and its affiliates as an authorized agent to access any such websites and perform the filtering services on those websites. You agree that it is your sole responsibility to determine whether using Mi3 SSL filter would comply with the website’s terms of services, and you agree to only use Mi3 SSL filter for lawful purposes.
5. By requesting SSL filtering, and installing the software, you agree that you have read and understood the above information. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mi3 Connectivity Solutions, Mi3 and its affiliates, for any damages, costs, liabilities, and attorney’s fees we may incur from any claim arising from your use of these services. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SERVICE SUPPLIED HEREUNDER IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” OR “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS. MI3 (AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, AND AFFILIATES) (COLLECTIVELY THE “MI3 PARTIES”), ITS THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, PROVIDERS AND SUPPLIERS, DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS FOR THE SERVICE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, NON-INTERFERENCE, TITLE, COMPATIBILITY OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS, COMPATIBILITY OF SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, INTEGRATION, AND THOSE ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF TRADE, OR ARISING UNDER STATUTE. ALSO, THERE IS NO WARRANTY OF WORKMANLIKE EFFORT OR LACK OF NEGLIGENCE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION GIVEN BY MI3 OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO ADVICE PROVIDED. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MI3 PARTIES OR MI3 THIRD PARTY LICENSORS, PROVIDERS OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR: (A) ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR INFORMATION OR DAMAGE TO DATA ARISING OUT OF THE USE, PARTIAL USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, OR RELIANCE ON OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM OR THE NATURE OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE ARISING UNDER CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY, EVEN IF MI3 HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CLAIM OR DAMAGES, OR (B) ANY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU BY ANY OTHER PARTY.
5. Voice over IP Services
1. A high speed internet connection is required in order to use Mi3’s VOIP phone service; Wi-Fi or 3G/4G may be required for our mobile applications. Our service may not be compatible with home security systems, TTY, and other systems. Your use of our services constitutes acknowledgment of these limitations.
2. Unlimited calling and other services are subject to normal use.
3. e911 Service
1. Mi3 e911 service is different from traditional wireline 911 and cellular/wireless 911, but it is a safe and reliable means of emergency dialing that may differ depending on where you are located, and the device used, when using your VOIP service.
2. Mi3 customers have access to Enhanced 911 (E911), basic 911 or our national emergency call center. With E911 service, when you dial 911 your Mi3 phone number and registered address is sent to the local emergency center serving your location, and emergency operators have access to this information in order to send help and call you back if necessary. With basic 911, when you dial 911, local emergency operators answering the call may not see your Mi3 telephone number or your registered address. The emergency center may not be equipped to receive, capture or retain your Mi3 telephone number and registered address, so you must be prepared to give them this information. Until you give the operator your phone number, he/she may not be able to call you back or dispatch help if the call is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak. Once local emergency centers are capable of receiving our customers’ information, we automatically upgrade customers with basic 911 to E911 service.
3. If you do not have access to either basic 911 or E911 for any reason, your 911 call will be sent to the Mi3 national emergency call center, where a trained agent will ask for your name, telephone number, and location, and then transfer you to the local emergency center nearest to your location.
4. We require you to provide the physical address where you will be using our service for 911 purposes. For E911 and basic 911, this address is used to route 911 calls to your local emergency center. When you initially provide your physical address, it can take up to 24 hours to verify your address and activate 911 service at this address. You will receive an email letting you know when 911 service is activated.
5. If you move this device to another location, you must update your address. You may register only one location at time. If you do not update your location, your 911 calls may be sent to an emergency center near your old address. When you update your location, it can take several hours to activate 911 service at the updated address. You will receive an email letting you know when 911 service is activated at the updated address.
6. Please note that our 911 Dialing service will not function in the event of a broadband or power outage or if your broadband, Internet Service Provider (ISP), or Mi3 phone service is terminated.
7. 911 Dialing from Mobile Applications. Mi3 mobile applications are not a replacement for your cellular service and you cannot make emergency (e.g., 911) calls using the software. If you attempt to make a 911 call from the mobile application the mobile application will close and the call will be placed over your cellular carrier’s network. However, this does not prevent you from using your mobile phone for making emergency calls via your cellular provider as normal. If you dial internationally recognized emergency service numbers while using a mobile application, the mobile application will close, the native dialer will be launched, and the call will be placed over your carrier’s cellular network. Neither your phone number nor your location will be reported to an emergency operator when dialing an internationally recognized emergency service number.
4. Service Distinctions. Our service may be subject to different regulatory treatment than traditional voice telecommunications service. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before regulatory agencies. Our service requires high speed broadband or, for certain mobile applications, a WIFI or other data connection (e.g. 3G/4G) which we do not provide unless separately ordered. Certain of our other services may be used with devices such as wireless telephones, mobile telephones, smartphones, PDA’s, tablets or pads which we may or may not provide. Events beyond our control may affect our service, such as power outages, fluctuations in the Internet, your underlying ISP or broadband service, system maintenance or acts of God. We will act in good faith using commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruptions to your use of and access to our service.
5. Residential and Mobile Use of Service and Device. Mi3 VOIP service is a single (and not extended or multi-) family residential voice service. It is engineered to process and deliver traffic profiles and utilization levels of our typical residential customers’ calling patterns (also referred to as “normal use” by residential plan customers). “Typical” refers to the calling patterns of at least 95% of our customers on a particular calling plan. Normal residential traffic profiles and utilization may arise from business, multiple or extended family, community or fraudulent use. “Unlimited” does not refer to those types and levels of usage. Telephone utilization that is indicative of, or arising from, impermissible business, multiple family, community or fraudulent use, as outlined herein, on a residential class of service line may create network congestion that will manifest itself in increased busy signals for themselves and others. Mi3’s residential unlimited service plans and features are for single (and not extended or multi-) family residential (or personal, non-commercial) or co-branded use only. Co-branded use is defined as Mi3 service that is provided by a third party partner under that third party partner’s marketing brand, with or without reference to Mi3. This means that only the account holder and residential family members (as defined below), may use Mi3’s residential unlimited service plans. “Residential family members” refer to those members of your immediate family who reside in your personal residence – e.g., spouse, domestic partner, parents and/or children. If your residential service plan allows you to extend the service or feature(s) to another residential or mobile number, all use under that service plan is aggregated and must conform to single ( and not extended or multi-) family residential (or personal, non-commercial) or co-branded use. Mi3’s mobile unlimited service plans and features are for normal, personal non-commercial use and are device specific. Use of Mi3’s unlimited mobile plans must be in accordance with this Reasonable Use Policy and these Terms of Service, and consistent with other typical customers on the same mobile calling plan. Unauthorized or excessive use beyond that normally experienced by typical mobile customers on the same plan may cause busy signals and may result in service termination.
6. Use Inconsistent with Normal Use. If you use the service, any feature and/or any device (including, but not limited to, your personal computer(s), mobile phone(s) or Mi3 equipment) in a way that is inconsistent with the normal use for your service, feature or plan, you will be required, at Mi3’s sole discretion, to (a) pay the rates for the service, feature or plan that would apply to the way you used the service, feature or device, (b) change to a more appropriate plan or (c) terminate the plan. For example, if you subscribe to one of our residential service plans, and your aggregate usage is inconsistent with normal residential or personal use, you may thereafter be required to pay our applicable, higher rates for service for all periods in which your use of our service or the device was inconsistent with normal residential use. Unlimited voice services are provided primarily for continuous live dialogue between two individuals. Lack of continuous dialogue activity, unusual calling patterns, excessive conferencing or call forwarding, excessive numbers dialed and/or consistent excessive usage (which may also apply to features such as Directory Assistance) will be considered indicators that your use may be inconsistent with normal use by other Mi3 customers aggregating their usage under a similar service plan, or that impermissible use as set forth in Section 10 and/or in the Reasonable Use Policy may be occurring and may trigger an account review or further action by us.
A non-exhaustive list of examples of uses of our service that are generally considered to be impermissible and inconsistent with normal residential or co-branded use, include, but are not limited to, use:
1. by or for others who do not live with you
2. operating a business, even if operating from the residence
3. at a multi-residential address for more than one single residence
A non exhaustive list of examples of uses of our service that are generally considered to be impermissible and inconsistent with either single (and not extended or multi-) family residential or small or home business use, or co-branded use, include, but are not limited to, use:
4. operating any other enterprise, including not-for-profit or governmental
5. operating a call center
6. resale to others
7. auto-dialing or fax/voice blasts
8. telemarketing
9. without live dialogue, including as a monitor, intercom or for transcription
Mi3 evaluates customer usage in comparison to similarly situated customers, e.g., residential use under residential service plans or small business use under small business service plans or affiliate use under co-branded service offers or plans. For example, over ninety five per cent (95%) of Mi3’s residential unlimited calling plan customers use less than three thousand (3000) minutes per month and do not have any unusual calling patterns. We may conclude that a customer’s aggregate usage is outside of normal use if it exceeds 3000 minutes per month IN COMBINATION with one or more of the following, including, but not limited to, excessive:
10. number of unique numbers called
11. call lengths
12. frequency of call forwarding/transferring
13. conference calling
14. excessive calls to conference bridges
15. short duration calls or chats
16. calls made during business hours
17. number of calls terminated and re-initiated consecutively, which, in the aggregate, result in excessive call lengths during a specific time frame; or
18. other abnormal calling patterns indicative of an attempt to evade enforcement of these Terms of Service and our Reasonable Use Policy
Mi3 may also determine that abnormal, unreasonable or impermissible usage is occurring, and may take appropriate steps described below even if the number of minutes used is not excessive, when a customer’s calling patterns during more than one month reflect excessive:
19. unique numbers called;
20. call lengths;
21. frequency of call forwarding/transferring;
22. conference calling;
23. short duration calls;
24. number of calls terminated and re-initiated consecutively, which, in the aggregate, result in excessive call lengths during a specific time frame; or
25. other abnormal calling patterns indicative of an attempt to evade enforcement of these Terms of Service and our Reasonable Use Policy.
Mi3 may take appropriate steps to enforce these Terms of Service and our Reasonable Use Policy. We reserve the right to review your account and take further action, including, but not limited to, immediate suspension of your Mi3 service if account usage is beyond normal standards, impermissible or detrimental to other customers’ ability to use the service or adversely affects our operations. We may assess abnormal usage based on comparisons to the usage patterns and levels of our other customers. If we determine that you are engaging in abnormal or impermissible usage, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform you and provide you with the opportunity to correct the improper usage. If we give you the opportunity to correct your abnormal usage patterns and you fail to immediately conform to normal use, we may exercise our right to transfer your service to a more appropriate plan, charge applicable rates or suspend or terminate your service. You acknowledge that if your service is terminated under this provision, you are subject to all applicable fees and taxes at the time your service is terminated. Mi3’s right to terminate your account under these terms of service (with or for no reason) is not limited by this provision.
7. No 0+ or Operator Assisted Calling; May Not Support x11 Calling. Our service does not support 0+ or operator assisted calling, including, without limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls, 900, or calling card calls. Our service may not support 311, 511, and other x11 services in one or more service areas. Our service may support specified dialing such as 911 and 411, although certain mobile applications may not provide such dialing services. 411 charges may vary by plan.
