Acceptable Use Policy

1. High Risk Use. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PLAN SERVICES ARE NOT DESIGNED, MANUFACTURED, INTENDED, OR RECOMMENDED FOR USE FOR ANY HIGH-RISK OR FAIL-SAFE PURPOSE OR ACTIVITY OR IN ANY ENVIRONMENT WHERE FAILURE, INTERRUPTION, MALFUNCTION, ERROR, OR UNAVAILABILITY COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LIABILITY OR DAMAGES, PHYSICAL HARM OR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR DISMEMBERMENT, OR PROPERTY OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU AND YOUR END USERS WILL NOT USE THE PLAN SERVICES FOR ANY SUCH PURPOSE OR ACTIVITY OR IN ANY SUCH ENVIRONMENT.

2. Customer Legal Compliance. You represent and warrant that all use and usage of Your Plan Services, the Account(s), and the Plan Services will at all times comply with all applicable Laws, including but not limited to the rules, policies and regulation of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), and all Laws relating to Do-Not-Call provisions; unsolicited marketing; telemarketing; faxing; telemarketing; email marketing; spamming or phishing; data security or privacy; international communications; account or debt collection; recording of calls or conversations; export control; export of technical or personal data; end user, end-use, and destination restrictions imposed by the United States or foreign governments; consumer protection; pornography; trade practices; false advertising; unfair competition; anti-discrimination; harassment; defamation; intellectual property; or securities.

3. Reasonable Business Use. ULTATEL service plans and features are for normal business use. Normal, reasonable use on ULTATEL business plans must be in accordance with this Acceptable Use Policy, our Terms of Service, and consistent with typical customers’ types and levels of usage on the same plan. ULATATEL evaluates customer usage in comparison to typical levels of permissible usage engaged in by legitimate customers. 

Over 95% of ULTATEL unlimited calling plan customers use less than 2,500 minutes per month per user and do not have any unusual usage patterns in terms of unique numbers called, high call forwarding/transferring usage, international usage and other high-risk patterns. A customer’s aggregate usage may be considered outside of normal use if it exceeds 2,500 minutes per month per user or has other unusual usage patterns as it may be detrimental to other customers’ ability to use the service or adversely affects our operations. 

If we determine that you are engaging in abnormal or impermissible usage, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform you and may provide you with the opportunity to correct the improper usage. If we afford you the opportunity to correct your abnormal usage patterns and you fail to immediately conform to normal use, we may exercise our right to transfer your service to a more appropriate plan, charge applicable rates for that plan, implement other limitations, or suspend or terminate your service with or without notice.
