1.1 VoIP Origination Service. Voice over Internet Protocol Origination ("VoIP Origination) is a switched origination service that allows calls originating from the public switched telephone network ("PSTN") in various markets to access Customer.s End Users through iCall.s IP Network using direct inward dial ("DID") numbers either provided by iCall to Customer or ported to Customer using local number portability ("LNP"). The calls originating from the PSTN are converted to data packets in iCall.s IP Network and then delivered to Customer through a Session Initiation Protocol ("SIP") interconnection port. Customer may interconnect to iCall via the public Internet. These arrangements collectively are referred to hereinafter as the .Interconnection.. Customer understands and agrees that iCall shall have no liability whatsoever associated with Customer.s use of the public Internet for access to iCall.s VoIP Origination Service or otherwise, including without limitation with respect to any failure, delay, loss of data or other damages or losses.
iCall.s VoIP Origination service is designed for and liminted to local Calls originated from a caller dialing an iCall-issued or ported DID number. iCall does not support the delivery of collect calls or third party billing information via Customer.s Interconnection.
2. TERM. The initial Service term shall be for one (1) month and shall begin upon acceptance of this Agreement. Upon expiration of the initial Term, unless terminated in accordance with this provision, this Agreement will automatically renew for a similar term and at the same rates (unless otherwise stated in any notice provided by iCall) pursuant to the Terms and Conditions, including the applicable tariff(s) (collectively the initial Term and any applicable renewal term shall be referred to herein as the "Term"). If Customer wishes to terminate a Service for any reason or not to renew such Service, Customer shall provide iCall with written notice (Termination Notice.) addressed to iCall at such location as iCall shall specify from time to time. Such Termination Notice must specify all necessary identifying details about the Service being terminated (e.g. account identifiers such as username and password) and the requested effective date of such termination (which date must not be less than thirty (30) days from the date notice is received by iCall). Termination of Service by any form of communications or means other than as provided above shall not be effective and Customer shall remain obligated to iCall for all Services rendered. For the avoidance of doubt, if Customer elects to take Service for a minimum term or minimum commitment and cancels service before the end of the Term, Customer shall be subject to early termination charges, as further detailed in the applicable Terms and Conditions.
3. RATES. The rates for Services shall be set forth separately and shall be valid for the initial Term subject to the applicable Terms and Conditions. Rates for international Services are subject to change on three (3) days notice from iCall, and the new rates are automatically effective on the 4th day from the date of such notice. Customer acknowledges international long distance wireless terminations are billed at higher rates, as further set forth in the Additional Terms. Rates do not include taxes, surcharges and fees charged by iCall, including but not limited to the Subscriber Line Charge and Long Distance Access Charges. Customer agrees to maintain a blend rate of 80% interstate and 20% intrastate calls, less the full intrastate termination rate will be applied to that call. Interstate and intrastate call classification will be determined by the Customer supplied caller ID information. Any calls containing invalid, toll-free, or otherwise obscured caller ID information will be considered intrastate for all purposes.
4. SUPPLEMENTAL PRODUCT TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The supplemental product terms are listed separately. Only the Product Terms and Conditions for Services ordered and/or used by you are applicable.
5. ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY. Customer agrees to be bound by the iCall Acceptable Use Policy listed separately.

Monthly recurring charges are billed in advance while usage and related charges may be billed in arrears depending upon your choice of payment method. Customer agrees that any additional Services requested whether verbally or in writing will incur additional fees and charges and Customer agrees to pay these fees and charges when invoiced. Invoices not paid within thirty (30) days after date of invoice, will be past due and subject to a 5% per month interest fee or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, on all past due balances. Customers authorizes iCall to request information from a reporting agency to enable iCall to assess Customer.s credit history, that such action is not the extension of "credit" to Customer, and that iCall may alter any Service or billing arrangements as a result, upon notice to Customer.

8. START OF SERVICE DATE.

9. DEFAULT/TERMINATION. Except as otherwise required by law or applicable regulation, if, after the Start of Service Date, Customer: (a) fails to pay any amount required under this Agreement or any other agreement with iCall when due and such failure continues for ten (10) days, or such other cure period as may be specified in the applicable Exhibit, after written notice to Customer that the same is due and payable; (b) fails to comply with any other material provision of this agreement and such noncompliance continues for thirty (30) days after written notice to Customer thereof; or (c) Customer cancels or terminates Service, including any part of an integrated Service offering (except related to an international Service rate change pursuant to section 3, and as further set forth in the Additional Terms), at any time before completion of the initial Term or any renewal Term, then iCall may elect to pursue one or more of the following courses of action, as applicable: (i) terminate in whole or in part Customer.s Service, whereupon all charges for the remaining Term are immediately due and payable for the terminated Services, and, for usage-based Service only, Customer shall pay an additional early termination charge that shall be equal to 75% of Customer.s average monthly usage (for long distance and local voice Services usage as applicable) for the three (3) months prior to the termination month (or such lesser period if fewer than three (3) months of Service were utilized), times the number of months remaining in the Term of the Agreement, (provided, however, that in the event Customer has made an annual or other revenue commitment, the shortfall of that commitment over the remaining Term shall be the measure of the early termination charge); (ii) take immediate appropriate action to enforce payment, including suspension or discontinuance of all or any part of the Services; and/or (iii) pursue any other remedies as may be provided at law or in equity. In addition to any other rights and remedies iCall may have, Customer agrees that if Customer cancels, terminates or breaches this Agreement after execution of the Agreement but prior to the Start of Service Date, except as termination is permitted above, Customer shall pay iCall an early termination charge of two (2) months of the anticipated monthly recurring charges or commitment level, along with all nonrecurring charges. Any action outlined herein by iCall shall not be construed as an exclusive remedy and shall not waive any iCall right to pursue any other remedies. It is agreed that iCall damages in the even of Service cancellation or termination shall be difficult or impossible to ascertain. Early termination charges are intended to establish liquidated damages and are not intended as a penalty.
