2.0 Billing Increments. Unless otherwise noted, NETRIO will calculate for billing purposes the length of each U.S. domestic metered call based upon a minimum billing period of thirty (30) seconds with rounding to the next higher six (6) seconds. Decimal Rounding will be to 4 places.

3.0 Call Detail Records. For usage based services purchased by CLIENT, NETRIO shall, upon request, make available to CLIENT its call detail records (“CDRs”) via a website or FTP site within ten (10) business days from the completion of each billing cycle.

4.0 Voice Acceptable Usage Policy. All voice service rate plans, whether unmetered (monthly flat-rated) or metered (usage-based) on NETRIO Product Description and SOW provided to CLIENT are based on standard business use and standard call distribution. Examples of non-standard usage include but are not limited to excessive amounts of the following: short duration calls, failed call attempts, intrastate calling, invalid CPN (inadequate signaling-related information, non-RBOC/non-major mobile carrier calls and average per line minutes of usage on unmetered product plan.

4.1 CLIENT’s Signaling Responsibilities for IP Terminating traffic. CLIENT may not deliver excessive amounts of traffic that does not contain signaling information identifying the telephone number of the calling party and if different, of the financially responsible party. In this regard, CLIENT will normally be deemed the “financially responsible party.” If CLIENT does not populate information in the CPN parameter NETRIO reserves the right to do so. This requirement applies to all SS7 information including, but not limited to CPN and Charge Number. This requirement also applies to Internet protocol signaling messages, such as calling party identifiers contained in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) header fields, and to equivalent identifying information as used in successor technologies.

4.2 If CLIENT’s use of Service(s) exceeds business usage and call distribution standards, NETRIO reserves the right at its sole discretion to change CLIENT’s rates with seven (7) days written notice and/or block certain traffic as necessary to conform with NETRIO’s acceptable use standards per section 4.6 of this agreement. NETRIO also reserves the right to block any traffic that it deems harmful to the functioning of its network.

4.3 For metered Rate Deck based services purchased by CLIENT NETRIO may change its prices at its sole discretion. Each rate change notice must include the effective date of the rate change along with the new rates.

Rate changes shall not apply to Service previously provided to CLIENT by NETRIO. Notice of price changes by NETRIO shall be communicated to CLIENT by email. In the absence of CLIENT’s formal acceptance of any such price change, CLIENT shall be deemed to have accepted such price change when NETRIO sends email, or by continuing to use NETRIO’s Services. CLIENT will provide email address for receiving Rate Change notifications on the applicable service order.

4.4 Dialer Traffic & Short Duration Surcharge. CLIENT shall not use NETRIO to terminate Dialer with Short Duration calls. A Short Duration call is a completed call that is six (6) seconds or less in duration. CLIENT will not intentionally send Short Duration traffic. It is CLIENT’s responsibility to monitor its traffic for SD traffic. If, however, Short Duration traffic is sent to NETRIO, the number of Short Duration calls during any billing cycle must not exceed the following threshold of 10% of calls to NETRIO. Short Duration traffic percentages are calculated based on the total traffic associated with the CLIENT terminating traffic trunk to NETRIO. For SD Threshold violations, NETRIO will charge, without notice and in addition to the per minute rates (Interstate Long Distance, Intrastate Long Distance and Local, if applicable) a surcharge equal the higher of our costs from our underlying carriers or a $0.01 per Short Duration call exceeding the applicable SD Threshold during that billing cycle for the item in the Service Order.

In such cases, NETRIO makes no representation that the Internet or any such third party network will adequately secure or protect the privacy of CLIENT or any end user’s personal information, and NETRIO expressly denies any associated liability. Actions or inactions caused by these third party networks can result in situations in which NETRIO CLIENTs’ connections may be impaired or disrupted.

CLIENT further agrees not to move such device to another location without first providing NETRIO with notification of such move and the new address on a change of address form designated by NETRIO. CLIENT understands that the address registered with NETRIO as being associated with a device and area code and number will be the address provided when Emergency 9-1-1 service is accessed from such device and/or area code and number. If not a NETRIO Hosted PBX Service, then CLIENT’s premises equipment must out pulse a valid Calling Party Number (“CPN”) via the CPN field with an area code and telephone number previously registered with NETRIO on NETRIO’s approved form. The CPN that is out pulsed, and the associated address previously registered with NETRIO will be used for 9-1-1 routing. All out pulsed numbers must be registered with a true, accurate and complete street addresses for NETRIO’s Emergency 9-1-1 service. CLIENT dialed Emergency 9-1-1 calls using unregistered CPN will be routed to a National Call Center where agents will try to determine which local PSAP the call needs to be routed to and transfer the call accordingly. The CLIENT surcharge for these unregistered Caller ID’s will be $170 per call or at NETRIO’s current rate.
