LAMWIRE TERMS
OF SERVICE
These Terms of Service constitute the agreement ("Agreement")
between LamWire Inc. ("we," "us" or "LamWire" and the user ("you,"
"user" or "Customer") of LamWire's Basic, Residential services or
Small Business services and any related products or services
("Service"). This Agreement governs both the Service and any
devices, such as an IP phone, Multimedia Terminal Adapter, Analog
Telephone Adapter or any other IP connection device, ("Device" or
"Equipment") used in conjunction with the Service. By activating the
Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood, and you
agree, to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and you
represent that you are of legal age to enter this Agreement and
become bound by its terms.
1. SERVICE
1.1 Term
Service is offered on a monthly basis for a term which begins on
the date that LamWire activates your Service and ends on the day
before the same date in the following month. Subsequent terms of
this Agreement automatically renew on a monthly basis without
further action by you unless you give LamWire written notice of
non-renewal at least seven (7) days before the end of the monthly
term in which the notice is given. You are purchasing the Service
for full monthly terms, meaning that if you attempt to terminate
Service prior to the end of a monthly term, you will be responsible
for the full month's charges to the end of the then-current term,
including without limitation unbilled charges, plus a disconnect
fee, all of which immediately become due and payable. Expiration of
the term or termination of Service does not excuse the Customer from
paying all unpaid, accrued charges due in relation to the Agreement.
1.2.1 Basic Plan, Premium
Plan, Residential Plan Use of Service and Device
If you have subscribed to LamWire's Basic Plan, Premium Plan,
Residential Plan services, the Service and Device are provided to
you as a residential user, for your personal, residential,
non-business and non-professional use. This means that you are not
using them for any commercial or governmental activities,
profit-making or non-profit, including but not limited to home
office, business, sales, tele-commuting, telemarketing (including
without limitation charitable or political solicitation or polling),
autodialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, fax broadcast,
fax blasting or any other activity that would be inconsistent with
normal residential usage patterns. This also means that you are not
to resell or transfer the Service or the Device to any other person
for any purpose, or make any charge for the use of the Service,
without express written permission from LamWire in advance. You
agree that your use of the Service and/or Device, or the use of the
Service and/or Device provided to you by any other person for any
commercial or governmental purpose will obligate you to pay
LamWire's higher rates for commercial service on account of all
periods, including past periods, in which you use, or used, the
Service for commercial or governmental purposes. LamWire reserves
the right to immediately terminate or modify the Service, if LamWire
determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer's Service is being
used for non-residential or commercial use.
1.2.2 Small Business Use of
Service and Device - Prohibition on Resale
If you have subscribed to LamWire's Small Business services, the
Service and Device are provided to you as a small business user.
This means that you are not to resell or transfer the service or
device to any other person for any purpose, without express written
permission from LamWire in advance. You agree that the LamWire Small
Business Plans do not confer the right to use the service for
auto-dialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, telemarketing
(including without limitation charitable or political solicitation
or polling), fax broadcasting or fax blasting. LamWire reserves the
right to immediately terminate or modify the Service, if LamWire
determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer's Service is being
used for any of the aforementioned activities.
1.3.1 Prohibited Uses
You agree to use the Service and Device only for lawful purposes.
This means that you agree not to use them for transmitting or
receiving any communication or material of any kind when in
LamWire's sole judgment the transmission, receipt or possession of
such communication or material (i) would constitute a criminal
offense, give rise to a civil liability, or otherwise violate any
applicable local, state, national or international law or (ii)
encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give
rise to a civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable
local, state, national or international law. LamWire reserves the
right to terminate your service immediately and without advance
notice if LamWire, in its sole discretion, believes that you have
violated the above restrictions, leaving you responsible for the
full month's charges to the end of the current term, including
without limitation unbilled charges, plus a disconnect fee, all of
which immediately become due and payable and may at LamWire's
discretion be immediately charged to your credit card. You are
liable for any and all use of the Service and/or Device by yourself
and by any person making use of the Service or Device provided to
you and agree to indemnify and hold harmless LamWire against any and
all liability for any such use. If LamWire, in its sole discretion
believes that you have violated the above restrictions, LamWire may
forward the objectionable material, as well as your communications
with LamWire and your personally identifiable information to the
appropriate authorities for investigation and prosecution and you
hereby consent to such forwarding.
1.3.2 Use of Service and
Device by Customers Outside the United States
While we encourage use of the Service within the United States to
other countries, LamWire does not presently offer or support the
Service to customers located in other countries except Canada. If
you remove the Device to a country other than the United States or
Canada and use the Service from there, you do so at your own sole
risk, including the risk that such activity violates local laws in
the country where you do so. You are liable for any and all such use
of the Service and/or Device by yourself or any person making use of
the Service or Device provided to you and agree to indemnify and
hold harmless LamWire against any and all liability for any such
use. Should the removal from the United States or Canada of the
Device violate any export control law or regulation, you will be
solely liable for such violation and agree to indemnify and hold
harmless LamWire against any and all liability for such violation.
1.4 Loss of Service Due to
Power Failure or Internet Service Outage or Termination or
Suspension or Termination by LamWire
You acknowledge and understand that the Service does not function
in the event of power failure. You also acknowledge and understand
that the Service requires a fully functional broadband connection to
the Internet (which is not provided by LamWire) and that,
accordingly, in the event of an outage of, or termination of service
with or by, your Internet service provider ("ISP") and/or broadband
provider, the Service will not function, but that you will continue
to be billed for the Service unless and until you or LamWire
terminate the Service in accordance with this Agreement. Should
there be an interruption in the power supply or ISP outage, the
Service will not function until power is restored or the ISP outage
is cured. A power failure or disruption may require the Customer to
reset or reconfigure equipment prior to utilizing the Service. Power
disruptions or failures or ISP outages will also prevent dialing to
emergency service numbers. Should LamWire suspend or terminate your
Service, the Service will not function until such time as LamWire
restores your Service (which may require payment of all invoices and
reconnection fees owed by you or cure of any breach by you of this
Agreement).

outstanding charges and terminate the Service. LamWire may terminate
your Service at any time in its sole discretion, if any charge to
your credit card on file with LamWire is declined or reversed, your
credit card expires and you have not provided LamWire with a valid

account charges. Termination of Service for declined or expired
card, reversed charges or non-payment leaves you FULLY LIABLE to

status. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date
