   2. Enhanced 911 ("E-911") is a feature of the Business Phone service that allows emergency operators to automatically know the telephone number and address of the dialing party. Esta función E-911 tiene ciertos requisitos para poder funcionar y también ciertas limitaciones:
      1. The emergency service provider handling the E-911 call, and the address the emergency service provider will see, are linked to the address Optimum has on file when the Subscriber originally signed up for service. Si el Suscriptor no identifica de manera correcta el lugar donde se encuentra su cable módem con capacidad de voz, o si el cable módem con capacidad de voz es retirado de la dirección original, es posible que las llamadas al 911 realizadas por el Suscriptor sean mal dirigidas hacia la dirección equivocada o hacia el proveedor de servicios de emergencias equivocado. Por lo tanto, para que las llamadas al 911 sean desviadas correctamente, el suscriptor reconoce la responsabilidad de notificar rápidamente a Optimum cualquier cambio en la dirección de servicio.
      2. An Business Phone Subscriber is provided with a voice-enabled modem through Subscriber's Secure Internet service (monthly modem fees may apply) that is installed at the service location.
      3. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Regarding Keeping Your Business Phone Phone Number When you Move: Please be aware that during the first 72 hours of arriving at a new service address, if Subscriber dials 911 from their Business Phone phone, Subscriber must relay to the emergency service operator Subscriber's new (current) service address. Esto es necesario para asegurar que los servicios de emergencia se envíen a la nueva dirección de servicio del Suscriptor y no a la antigua dirección de servicio en caso de que el operador del servicio de emergencia quizás no tenga la nueva ubicación registrada en sus registros.
      4. If Subscriber so chooses, and, Subscriber's voice-enabled modem is compatible with battery backup, Subscriber may separately purchase a spare battery backup for use with their voice-enabled cable modem in the instance of a non-network related outage at http://shop.surfboard.com

   3. Business Phone International Calling: Business Phone offers an International Calling Service for direct-dialed calls made from the Subscriber's business or from any phone via the Business Phone International Calling remote access number to destinations outside of the United States ("U.S."), Puerto Rico, Canada, and the U.S. Virgin Islands at per minute rates. The Business Phone International Calling Service is automatically enabled for each line, including, where applicable, the SIP Trunk Pilot telephone number. Para activar el servicio de llamadas internacionales, el Suscriptor debe ingresar al Centro de Cuentas de Optimum Business y activar el servicio en las líneas deseadas. Audio-text lines/destinations are excluded from Business Phone International Calling.

      IMPORTANTE: el cliente es responsable de proteger la seguridad de su propio sistema de telefonía y red, lo que incluye, entre otros, la protección del centro de intercambio privado ("PBX") para evitar que el PBX pueda estar en riesgo y se realicen llamadas fraudulentas. If fraudulent calls are detected, Optimum reserves the right to disable International Calling without prior notice until the customer properly secures their phone system (including the PBX) or network. Los clientes son responsables de todos los cargos en los que incurran por un sistema de telefonía o una red no segura.

      1. Cargo mensual por plan internacional: el Suscriptor recibirá un cargo mensual por el plan internacional al activar las llamadas internacionales. El cargo mensual del plan internacional cubre todas las líneas en la cuenta y se cobra a la cuenta aunque no se realicen llamadas internacionales.
      2. Per Minute Rates: The per minute rates vary by destination, and by market. For subscribers in NY/NJ/CT, and Jefferson and Hendersonville in NC, international rates and are posted at: https://www.optimum.net/pages/international/post-paid/residential/current.html. For subscribers in other markets, international rates are posted here. Charges for Business Phone International Calling at the per minute rates will appear on Subscriber's monthly billing statement for the relevant usage cycle (the "Usage Cycle"). Business Phone International Calling will be billed in sixty (60) second increments and rounded up to the nearest sixty (60) second increment.
      3. Límites de llamadas:
         1. Optimum reserves the right to impose limits on the unpaid balance for Business Phone International Calling charges incurred by Subscriber during a Usage Cycle (the "Calling Limit"). Optimum tendrá derecho a modificar los Límites de llamadas, ya sea a un suscriptor particular o a todos los suscriptores, a su exclusivo criterio, y podrá establecer distintos límites de llamadas según el estado de cuenta del suscriptor.
      4. Remote Access Feature: Subscribers can use the remote access feature with Business Phone International Calling at per minutes rates while away from Subscriber's place of business. Subscriber understands that when using the remote access feature to make Business Phone International Calling at per minute rate, additional third-party charges may also apply (i.e., pay phone charges, cellular charges, or hotel phone system charges, etc.).

   4. Business Phone offers professional installation of a voice-enabled modem.

      Optimum will be responsible for delivering dial tone to the demarcation point (NID) only. Subscriber will be responsible for wiring from the voice-enabled modem out to the individual phone(s). Optimum reserves the right to determine the manner in which the business wiring solution is executed. In certain cases, Optimum may be required to alter or adapt the Subscriber's inside wiring so that Business Phone is available on the existing phones. Business Phone does not offer a wire maintenance plan. El Suscriptor es el único responsable del mantenimiento de todos los cables y teléfonos dentro del negocio. Business Phone will troubleshoot and fix reported problems for a specified service charge. El cargo por servicio será determinado según la tarifa vigente en ese momento. In certain buildings such as multiple dwelling units, Business Phone may not have access to the Subscriber's inside wiring located within the business. In these instances, Optimum has the right to determine how best to wire the Subscriber's business.

   5. Alarm Systems. If Subscriber has a centrally monitored system, which is not (i) a high security monitoring system (UL 681 or similar) or (ii) an emergency medical alert system, Business Phone will be wired so that it may be available for use with such system. Este pedido se debe hacer al momento de la venta. Si tiene un sistema de monitoreo de alta seguridad (UL 681 o similar) o un sistema de alertas médicas de emergencia debe usar una conexión alternative. Although Business Phone will supply a connection that will allow the operation of Subscriber's existing business security system, Business Phone does not guarantee that any such system will be in complete operational order following the installation of Business Phone. As such, it is Subscriber's obligation to contact their security system provider to inform them of your Business Phone installation and any change in phone number and to request a complete operational test of such system immediately following installation of Business Phone service. Además, es su responsabilidad verificar su sistema regularmente. Business Phone installation will insure proper wiring from the cable modem to the Optimum demark (NID/wiring block). Sin embargo, todo cableado interior desde el NID/bloqueo de cableado hasta el panel de la alarma es responsabilidad del Suscriptor. In the event of a large-scale power outage or network outage (whether unplanned or maintenance related), Business Phone service, including any security system, which uses Business Phone to connect to central station monitoring, will not function.

      Optimum does not support the use of Business Phone as a connection between medical alert systems or, any high security monitoring systems (UL 681 or similar) and the central station monitoring and Subscriber must maintain an alternate connection. Optimum does not support the use of Business Phone as a connection between fire alarm systems (UL 864 or similar) and the central station monitoring for service locations in Pennsylvania. If Business Phone is used as a connection between fire alarm systems (UL 864 or similar) and the central station monitoring for a Subscriber service location as permitted hereunder, Subscriber agrees that it will be solely responsible for contacting its authorized central station monitored fire alarm system provider to test and verify that the central station monitored fire alarm system is in good working order following Optimum's Service installation, including the testing of proper line seizure functionality and the successful transmission of signals at the supervising station.

   6. Optimum Phone may occasionally offer additional service features or functionality. Information about these features or functions will be available through the Optimum Phone Home Page. These features or functions may be further subject to specific términos y condiciones and subject to change at any time by Optimum.
4. Business Phone Service Limitations:
   1. Interrupciones en el servicio. Your voice-enabled modem is electrically powered some select models and will be provided with its own battery backup. Si hubiera un corte de energía local, el servicio continuará funcionando mientras dure la batería. Sin embargo, si la interrupción se debe a un problema en la red de cables o en las instalaciones o si se interrumpe o no funciona la conexión de banda ancha, el Servicio tampoco funcionará, independientemente de las condiciones de la batería de reserva. En caso de cortes de energía mayores, el módem y todos los teléfonos y servicios conectados dejarán de funcionar. Subscriber expressly acknowledges that in such cases Enhanced 911 service, and the use of Business Phone as the connection between a security system and central monitoring services will not work. El Suscriptor puede comprar una batería de reserva adicional para usar en casos de cortes no relacionados con la red, en: http://shop.surfboard.com.

5.
