For Home Phone VoIP service, Comwave offers a form of 9-1-1 service (9-1-1 Dialing) that is similar to traditional 9-1-1 service but has some important differences and limitations when compared with Enhanced 9-1-1 service (E9-1-1) available in most locations in conjunction with traditional telephone service.  With both traditional 9-1-1 and E9-1-1 service, your call is sent directly to the nearest emergency response centre.&nsbp; In addition, with E9-1-1 service, your call back number and address are visible to the emergency response centre operator.  With Comwave's 9-1-1 service, your call is sent to a national emergency call centre.  The call centre operator will confirm your location information and then transfer your 9-1-1 call to the emergency response centre nearest your location.  You should be prepared to confirm your address and call-back number since the operator may not have this information.  Do not hang up unless told directly to do so and if disconnected, you should dial 9-1-1 again.

Your 9-1-1 Dialing service is enabled when you activate your Comwave Home Phone service.  You should ensure your location information is kept current at all times.  This information can be updated through the Comwave website under the 9-1-1 section within the “My Account” portal.  In case you are not able to speak during the 9-1-1 call, the operator will dispatch emergency response vehicles to your last registered address.  Remember that you must update your 9-1-1 information if you move your device to a different location, travel in Canada with your Home Phone service, and if you add a new line to your account.

Remember that your 9-1-1 Dialing service will not function in the event of a power or broadband outage or if your broadband, ISP or Comwave service is suspended or terminated.  We suggest purchasing a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) from a local retailer to ensure that your Home Phone Adapter stays powered during short power failures.

Unlike traditional phone lines, you can use your Home Phone Adapter anywhere.&nsbp; Comwave Home Phone service is portable to any location with broadband Internet access.  Since the national emergency call centre uses the address you provide to determine the nearest emergency response centre, you must update your new location when you move, or travel with your Comwave Home Phone in Canada or the USA,.  Simply log into “My Account” at www.comwave.net/myaccount and click on the 9-1-1 Registration link to update your address.

Comwave Home Phone Global, the Customer shall remain obligated to the Contract.

 

3.01 Subscriber Confidentiality and Privacy

Before you begin to use our services, you will be asked to register to become a member. To complete the registration, you will need to give us some information about yourself including but not limited to your name, Email address, zip code, postal code, age, and occupation. Comwave is collecting this information and we retain ownership of it.

3.02 Use of Information

Comwave believes that knowing more about you will enable us to serve you better. It allows us to communicate with you about your service, news and promotions and to personalize the content and services we offer you. Information that you provide to Comwave is kept confidential. Your information is for the use of Comwave and its subsidiaries. It is not shared with any other third party.

3.02.1 ePhone Apps & Mobile Devices

ePhone Apps send us your unique device serial or identification numbers so that we can keep track of how many times the App is being installed and on which devices.  For Apple Inc., we use the UDID and for Android we use IMEI.

3.03 Rate Changes

Comwave reserves the unilateral right to change, modify, increase, decrease, or add surcharges, connection fees as may be required from time to time.

3.04 Promotions

Comwave may at its sole discretion promote Comwave services from time to time through a variety of media channels. This may include free services for a specific period of time (promotional period). After the promotional period the Subscriber will be billed for services automatically. The Subscriber must call Comwave Subscriber Service before the promotional period has elapsed and request to cancel future service. All cancellations must be verbal to Customer Service. With respect to free trial periods for customers on a contract term the free period is deemed a bonus period and added to the contract term. For clarity, Customers who sign up to a 1 year term and are rewarded with 6 Free Bonus Months; the free months are added on top of the 12 month term for a total of 18 months. Therefore 6 months are free and 12 months are billable.

3.05 Reasonable Usage

Comwave's residential plans and features are to be used for residential, non-commercial use only and by only the account holder and the residential family members, at the place of residence listed under the account holder. Residential family members include 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 use your service from other locations through a particular device or application, all use under that service plan is aggregated and must conform to normal residential or personal, non-commercial use.

Because over 95% of Comwave residential unlimited calling plan customers use less than 3000 minutes per month and do not have any unusual usage patterns, a customer's aggregate usage may be considered outside of normal and reasonable use if it exceeds 3000 minutes per month in combination with other factors that may adversely impact other Comwave customers or the Comwave network.

All Comwave plans have a maximum reasonable call duration of 4 hours per call, after which time the call will be disconnected. Unlimited plans are subject to an aggregated limit (outgoing, call forwarding, conferencing etc) of all usage and features of 3000 minutes during each monthly billing cycle for inclusive calls. Incoming and Comwave to Comwave calls are excluded from this policy.

Comwave reserves the right to either suspend your Service and offer you an alternative call plan or terminate your Service if we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that your use of the Service or at any time was, inconsistent with normal residential average usage patterns of other Comwave customers. All usage minutes over 3000 minutes will be billed on a per minute basis based on the rates for the destination country being called. If we deem your use of our Services for commercial use, you will be required to pay our higher rates for Business Plans for all periods in which your use of the Service was inconsistent with normal residential use or the Reasonable Usage limits described herein.
