Service charges will be billed to Customer on a monthly basis and are payable within fifteen days of the invoice date. Customer may not dispute service charges or request credits more than 90-days from the payment date on invoice for such Service.
E. Regulatory Classification: Customer acknowledges that currently, and from time to time, there is uncertainty about the regulatory classification of some of the Services that WMT provides and, consequently, uncertainty about what fees, taxes and surcharges are due from WMT and/or its Customers. Customer agrees that WMT has the right to determine, in its sole discretion, what fees, taxes and surcharges are due and to collect and remit them to the relevant governmental authorities, and/or to pay and pass them through to Customer. Customer hereby waives any claims it may have regarding WMT”s collection or remittance of such fees, taxes and surcharges. Customer understands that it may obtain a list of the fees, taxes and surcharges that WMT currently collects or passes through by writing to WMT.
F. Limitation on Liability: The Customer acknowledges that WMT is not liable for any interruption or impairment of service, including the inability to reach 911 or other emergency services, the inability to contact a security system or remote medical or other monitoring service provider or any failure or fault relating to Customer-provided equipment; and, if Customer, or any of Customer”s pay telephone users, makes a 911 call during this service interruption interval, Customer, or any user of Customer”s pay telephones, may be required to give its physical address and location information to the 911 emergency dispatcher. Customer acknowledges that the Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA) that has been sold to Customer, or is being used by the Customer, and that is used to provide Public Access Line (PAL) Phone Service is electrically powered and that the PAL Phone Service, including the ability to access 911 services and alarm, security, medical and other monitoring services, may not operate in the event of an electrical power outage at Customer or any End User”s facility; any back-up power supply connected to the ATA may enable service for a limited period of time or not at all, depending on the circumstances, and that the use of a back-up power supply does not ensure that the PAL Phone Service will be available in all circumstances. Customer also acknowledges that, in the event of a loss of power that disrupts the WMT network, the battery or back-up power supply to the ATA will not provide back-up service and the PAL Phone Service will not be available. WMT disclaims any and all warranties in relation to the PAL Digital Communications Services, including, but not limited to, warranties of fitness or merchantability. Additionally, WMT”s sole obligation for service interruptions or impairments caused by any act or omission of WMT shall be to provide credit for the cost of service on a pro rata basis for the period of interruption or impairment. In no event shall WMT (or its affiliates, agents, officers, directors, shareholders, or employees) be liable to the Customer for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, any claim for loss of services, lost profits, or lost revenues) arising from or relating to the services provided under or pursuant to this Agreement.
G. Indemnification: Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless WMT, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents, and any other service provider who furnishes services to Customer for WMT”s service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees) by, or on behalf of, Customer or any third party or user of WMT”s service, relating to WMT”s service, including, without limitation, 911 Dialing, or Customer”s device(s), or use of WMT”s service by Customer or others using Customer”s account (whether or not such usage is expressly authorized by Customer).

Additionally, WMT has the right to limit the services to reasonable quantities of minutes and messages used or consumed by the Customer based on any committed minutes per each Public Access Line to prevent abuse from excessive usage or fraud and to maintain a high level of service for other WMT Customers. Any breach of this condition could, at WMT”s discretion, lead to immediate termination of the service at no liability to WMT and payment of all damages incurred.
I.

WMT requires a 30 day written notice to terminate services. In the event that a 30 day notice is not received, WMT must bill for a minimum of thirty days from the date of notification of disconnection or transfer. Any Customer who terminates the Agreement prior to the expiration of its stated term shall be subject to the termination charges on each equivalent Public Access Line removed.

The early termination liability will be billed on the next WMT billing invoice and the Customer agrees to pay WMT such amount upon receipt of invoice. Customer may terminate this Agreement without penalty for cause, provided written notice specifying the cause for termination and requesting correction within thirty (30) days is given and such cause is not corrected within such thirty (30) day period.

No ATA credit is applicable unless there is a minimum of one pay telephone at any given location being billed per the rates in paragraph 1 of the Master Services Agreement-Payphone Service Provider. If the Customer terminates the Agreement without cause prior to the end of the initial stated length of term, a monthly amortized amount based on the initial length of term will be charged to the Customer and immediately due and payable by the Customer for the remaining number of months in the original length of term.
O. Payment Terms: The Customer agrees to pay its monthly bill in full by the due date indicated on the bill which will be fifteen days from date of invoice.

The Customer acknowledges that it is solely responsible for all local charges, long distance charges, miscellaneous charges, taxes, and directory assistance charges. If the Customer fails to pay its bill in a timely manner, then WMT may initiate action to collect all amounts owing including early termination damages and late charges. In the event WMT initiates any collection action, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney fees, including fees on any appeal. All amounts due, damages, costs, and attorney fees awarded to WMT shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month until paid in full.

Q. Successors: This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of WMT and the Customer and their respective successors and assigns, including any future owners, beneficiaries or lessees of the Customer location.
