13. 911/E911. Customer understands that all of “NGX” calling services are Internet based and that the emergency services calling capabilities associated with the Service are different from those offered by traditional providers of local telephone services. “NGX” VoIP calling services are not meant to be relied upon in case of an emergency. Customer should therefore maintain an alternative means of calling emergency services. Customer should not make excessive 911 calls. Excessive calls are classified as making more than three 911 calls per month. Should Customer make excessive 911 calls, there will be additional charges to access the system. “NGX” may change Customer’s E911 monthly recurring charge upon providing Customer with written notification. Additionally, Customer agrees that the “NGX” E911 disclosure shall be incorporated herein.

This Agreement, its respective Terms and Conditions and additional documents executed by Customer Annexes constitute the entire contract of the Parties hereto and supersede any prior agreement between the Parties. Should a provision of this Agreement be determined by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, or should this Agreement contain an omission, then the legal effect of the rest of the Agreement shall not thereby be affected. Instead of the invalid provision a valid provision is deemed to have been agreed upon which comes closest to what the Parties intended; the same applies in the case of an omission.
