Enhanced VoIP Communications Inc. provides VoIP 9-1-1 service that is similar to traditional 911 service but has some important differences and limitations when compared with enhanced 911 service (E911) available im most locations in conjuntion with traditional telephone service. With both traditional 911 and E911 service, your call is sent directly to the nearest emergency response centre. In addition, with E911 service, your call back number and address are visible to the emergency response centre call-taker. With Enhanced VoIP Communication Inc's VoIP 9-1-1 service, your call is sent to a national emergency call centre. The call centre operator will request or confirm your location information and then transfer your 911 call to the emergency response centre nearest to your location. You should be prepared to provide or confirm your address and call-back number with the operator. Due to the nature of VoIP and the ability for customers to move their equipment to any location at any time, emergency personnel may or may not have your up to date location information. If you are unable to provide this location information to the operator the emergency response center will not be able to dispatch emergency services to your location or will dispatch emergency vehicles to your last known address. Location information cannot be provided to emergency personnel automatically in all areas and in the event that such information is incorrect or out of date or unavailable it is important that you provide this information to the emergency services operator. Under no circumstances should you hang up unless told directly to do so and if disconnected, you should dial 911 again and provide your location to the operator.Enhanced VoIP Communications provides a web based interface for updating your physical location. Customers must keep this information current at all times. In case you are not able to speak during the 911 call, the emergency personnel will dispatch emergency response vehicles to your last registered address. You need to update your VoIP 9-1-1 information if you move your device to a different physical location. If different extensions have different physical locations you will need to setup mutliple emergency locations and assign each extension to a different location. Customer agrees and acknowledges that they are solely responsible for updating and maintaining the 911 information and the EOP is not responsible for updating, auditing or maintaining this information on behalf of the Customer.
VoIP 9-1-1 service will not function in the event of a power, broadband, ISP or service outage, or if your account with Enhanced VoIP Communications Inc is suspended or disconnected.

911 service is not available outside the country as set out in your emergency locations profile within your account. 911 service is not available in International locations outside of the USA and Canada. Failure to keep your emergency locations profile up to date with your current address could result in your 911 call not being directed to the correct public safety answering point (PSAP) which may not be able to re-route your call should you be in a location different from your emergency location profile in your account.
There may be a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a VoIP 9-1-1 call made utilizing the service as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks.
You should inform any employees, household members, guests and other persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize Enhanced VoIP Communication Inc's service, of the important differences in and limitations of VoIP 9-1-1 service as compared with E911 service, as set out above.
