Voxtell’s Services are only for use by persons or entities whose primary residence or business address is in the United States. Voxtell’s Services are designed to work generally with unencumbered high-speed internet connections. However, if the high-speed internet connection you are using is outside the United States and/or your ISP places restrictions on the usage of VoIP services, Voxtell does not represent or warrant that use of the Service by you is permitted by any other jurisdictions or by any or all the ISPs.
If you remove the Device to a country other than the United States or use the Service from there, you do so at its own risk, including the risk that such activity violates local laws in the country where you do so. You will be solely responsible for any violations of local laws and regulations or violations of ISP terms of service resulting from such use.
You also agree to indemnify us for any claims, damages or expenses resulting from your use of the Services outside of the United States. Voxtell reserves the right to disconnect Services immediately if Voxtell determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that you have used the Service or the Device in violation of applicable laws, including without limitation laws of jurisdictions outside the United States. You are solely liable for any and all use of the Service and/or Device by any person making use of the Service or Device provided to you.
5.6. Account Ownership.

If no legal entity is provided upon sign-up, the account owner shall be the owner of the credit card used to open such account. Subsequent changes to ownership must be supported by appropriate legal documentation. VOXTELL shall not adjudicate ownership-related disputes, or any other internal business dispute. If VOXTELL is unable to determine the valid owner of the account, VOXTELL reserves the right to suspend or terminate the account and Services.

You may be required to complete a letter of authorization, provide us with a copy of your most recent bill from your service provider, as well as provide us with any other information required by your service provider to port your number. Failure to provide any information requested by VOXTELL or the third-party services provider will delay the porting of the number to VOXTELL. You acknowledge that the porting of your numbers is dependent upon the cooperation of you and third parties not under the control of VOXTELL. VOXTELL shall not be responsible for any delay in the port of your number and will not provide credit for any such delays.
6.2 Activation.

VOXTELL has no responsibility or liability due to such port-outs.
7. SERVICE DISTINCTIONS.
You acknowledge and understand that the Service is not a telephone service, and we provide it on a best efforts basis. Important distinctions exist between telephone service and the enhanced Service offering provided by VOXTELL. The Service is subject to different regulatory treatment than telephone service. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before Federal and State telecommunications regulatory agencies or judicial forums. Events beyond our control may affect our service, such as power outages, fluctuations in the internet, your underlying ISP or broadband service, or maintenance. We will act in good faith to minimize disruptions to your use of and access to our service.

By accepting this Agreement, you waive any claim you may have against VOXTELL for interference with or disruption of such systems due to the Service.
7.4.2. Certain Broadband, Cable Modem, and Other Services.
There may also be other services with which our Service may be incompatible. Some providers of broadband service may provide modems that prevent the transmission of communications using the Service. We do not warrant that the Service will be compatible with all broadband services and expressly disclaim any express or implied warranties regarding the compatibility of the Service with any particular broadband service.
7.5 Use Outside of the United States.
As previously noted there are limitations with the Service’s access to 911. Voxtell’s Service does not provide access to emergency services in any country outside of the United States.
