This information may be used to provide you with better service. We may send you Service related information on a regular basis via e-mail addressed to the primary e-mail address associated with your Account. You agree to review and to familiarize yourself with all such Service related information, and we are not liable for any damage or detriment to you or your property resulting from your failure to do so. Your continued use of any Service following delivery of any such Service related information means that you accept and agree to comply with such information, as applicable. 8. Minimum Equipment and Software Requirements, Pre-Installation Precautions and Installation Appointments In order to use a Service, your equipment and software must meet minimum equipment and software requirements that may change over time. We will communicate such changes in minimum requirements to you. It is your sole responsibility to update your equipment and software to meet the minimum requirements. If you do not update your equipment and software accordingly, your Service may cease to be accessible, in which case your sole and exclusive remedy is to stop using the Service. We recommend that you back-up all existing files by copying them to another storage medium prior to the installation of the equipment and Software required for any Service. We cannot guarantee that your personal computer will or can be configured to work properly with the Software or Services, and we cannot assist you with any such configuration issues. We assume no liability whatsoever for any damage to or loss of any software, files, data, or for any personal computer or other computer system warranty infringements due to equipment or Software installation related to the Service. We assume no liability whatsoever for any damages or losses associated with any installation that you choose to do. In no event will we be responsible for any claims, damages, losses or expenses, including without limitation lost wages or missed work, in the event that an installation appointment for a Service is missed, either by us or by any third party installer. 9. Credit Checks and Obligation to Pay We shall have the right to inquire about and furnish credit history information regarding you and your Account from and to others, including credit reporting agencies. You shall pay the monthly service rates, any applicable usage charges, installation fees and/or activation fees, equipment purchase fees or lease rates, if any, and other fees and charges (including without limitation telephone charges), if any, together with all applicable taxes and charges, identified to you upon placing your order for the Service or as otherwise identified to you by us from time to time (collectively, the "Service Fees"), which Service Fees may be amended by us from time to time. You agree that each Service is provided to you subject to your payment of the Service Fees for all Services provided by us to you, as the Service Fees become due and payable. For current rates and fees, go to http://www.3web.com/. Please note that rates and fees posted on the above-mentioned website do not include applicable taxes or any long distance or other charges. All equipment installed or provided by us, except equipment purchased outright by you, remains our property and you agree to return such equipment to us promptly when you no longer subscribe to the Service(s) in respect of which the equipment was provided to you or when this Agreement is terminated. While in your possession, our provided equipment may be charged to you as part of your Service Fees. We may require you to pay an equipment deposit prior to providing you with equipment. You agree to pay us the cost of any equipment not returned to us upon disconnection or loss, together with any costs incurred by us in seeking to obtain possession of such equipment. We may charge you all costs relating to repair or replacement of damaged equipment. You authorize us to charge your credit card or debit your financial institution account under your pre-authorized payment authorization, in payment for all outstanding Service Fees. In the event we fail to bill you or underbill you for a charge, you will not be responsible for paying the previously unbilled or underbilled charge except where: (1) in the case of a recurring charge, you are correctly billed within a period of one (1) year from the date the charge was incurred; or (2) in the case of a non-recurring charge, you are correctly billed within a period of one hundred and fifty (150) days from the date the charge was incurred. However, this time limitation does not apply if we have failed to bill you or underbilled you due to deception on your part. Subject to our cancellation and termination policy set out below, fees and charges for partial months of Service use will be prorated. You agree to pay, in full, all amounts due under this Agreement, including but not limited to monthly rates, taxes and other charges, associated with your use of our Services and your Account. Invoices are issued monthly and delivered by e-mail to the primary e-mail address associated with your Account and can be viewed online at https://myaccount.3web.com. Unless otherwise stated, the total amount is due and payable on the invoice date. You must bring any amounts billed to your Account that you dispute to our attention within sixty (60) days from the date billed, failing which you waive your right to dispute such amounts. You may make billing-related inquiries by calling 1-866-330-9511. You have the option to pay for your Services by credit card or by pre-authorized payment, and you hereby authorize us to charge the credit card or debit the financial institution account provided to us for the Service every time an invoice is rendered by us to you for the Service in accordance with the Agreement up to the full amount of the invoice. In the case of payment by credit card, you must provide us with a valid credit card number and related required information at the time when you subscribe to the Service so that we can charge the credit card on a recurring basis. In the case of payment by recurring financial institution account debit, you must provide us with the particulars of the financial institution account to be debited (including without limitation the applicable transit number, institution number and account number) and related required information at the time when you subscribe to the Service so that we can debit the financial institution account on a recurring basis. We may, at our discretion require that you fill out, execute and send to us a pre-authorized payment form in a form provided by us to you or to which you are directed. It is your responsibility to ensure that the credit card or financial institution account information that you provide to us remains valid and current and that we are able to continue charging the credit card or debiting the financial institution account, as the case may be, for amounts invoiced to you by us. A failure by you to adhere to these requirements may result in suspension or termination of your Services or Account without further notice to you, and payment by you to us of any applicable termination and/or other fees. For greater certainty, we may suspend or cancel any Service(s) or your Account whenever you are in arrears in making payments due to us for any Service(s). A late payment charge equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month compounded monthly (or 19.56% per annum) or the highest rate permissible by law will be applied to all amounts remaining unpaid one month after the date of the invoice. You must also pay any fees that we incur in collecting or attempting to collect your unpaid accounts. The use of certain Services may require you to use other telecommunications services and incur corresponding additional charges. Without limitation, one such example is the use of long distance to access dial-up IS when it cannot be accessed from your local calling area. In such cases, you are solely responsible for the payment of all charges associated with your use of such other telecommunications services, whether you obtain such other services from us or other suppliers. 10. Availability and Installation of Service Each Service is only available in those areas to which the network of 3web and the networks of Carriers employed by 3web to provide the Service extend and where the Service has actually been rolled out by us. Service availability is also subject to the availability of appropriate facilities and is dependent on the availability of suitable technology at the location(s) at which you wish to obtain the Service. The availability of high-speed IS ("HSIS") is dependent on the availability of suitable residential telephone lines/local loops and/or cable facilities supplied by other Carriers. The number of service connections per address may be limited. You acknowledge and agree that we shall conduct a preliminary geographical check upon your placing an order to determine if HSIS is available in your geographical area. Due to the nature of HSIS technology, we reserve the right to deem the HSIS unavailable to you up to, including, and after the installation. You acknowledge that VoIP is only available at selected locations served by us where suitable facilities, underlying HSIS and arrangements with other underlying Carriers are available. In order to obtain Service and depending on the nature of the Service, you may have to purchase or lease certain additional equipment and obtain additional services from one or more other providers of telecommunications services. As noted above, leased equipment remains our property at all times. You are responsible for all such equipment and it must be returned to us upon termination of the Service or part of the Service for which it was leased. Self-installation of equipment is not allowed for certain Services. For those Services for which it is allowed, if you choose to install such equipment yourself, the type of equipment to be installed must be pre-approved by us and your installation configuration must conform to applicable specifications. We assume no liability for any damage or losses caused if you choose to self-install. Should your Service include a requirement for local number portability or equal access, your entry into this Agreement also authorizes us, directly or through our underlying Carriers, to port the requested telephone number(s) from your existing local and/or long distance service provider(s), onto our local and/or long distance network. IS includes the ability to establish multiple e-mail accounts. The first e-mail account that you establish will be considered the primary account and will be the account to which we will send you invoices for the Service. Additional accounts may be established for other members of your household, and all such accounts shall form part of your Account and be subject to this Agreement. E-mail accounts created for users who are under eighteen (18) years of age may only be established with the consent of those persons' parents or guardians. Non-use of an e-mail account for a continuous period in excess of thirty (30) days may lead to its suspension and a lack of access to such an account for another thirty (30) days following suspension may lead to its ultimate deletion. Whether and when such suspensions and deletions occur following these minimum periods are entirely at our discretion. Notwithstanding these minimum periods for suspension and deletion of e-mail accounts, we may also, at any time, suspend or delete an e-mail account where the e-mail account or any one of your Services is used in any manner that impairs the use of Service(s) by others, is inconsistent with this Agreement, the AUP or any other applicable governing Document or is contrary to law, or during any period in which any amount payable by you to us is past due. During a period when an e-mail account is suspended: (1) you may access your e-mail on a read-only basis to view copies of e-mails sent to you prior to the suspension; (2) you may not send e-mails from the suspended account; (3) e-mails directed to that account are rejected and an automatic notice is sent to originators of the rejected e-mail messages; and (4) you may call our help desk to reactivate the e-mail account fully at 1-866-330-9511. When an e-mail account is deleted all e-mails in the account prior to deletion will also be deleted and will not be recoverable. As a condition of continued use of any Service we may require you: (1) to download and install upgrades, patches or more recent versions of any component(s) of any applicable Software; and (2) to verify the accuracy of your registration and billing information. 11. Cancellation or Termination of a Service by You If subsequent to the confirmation of an order for any Service(s) you cancel your order prior to activation of the Service(s) you will be charged the regular fee(s) applicable for one month of the Service(s) ordered as a cancellation fee (the "Cancellation Fee"), to the extent permitted by applicable law, as the amount representing a reasonable estimate of damages suffered by us as a result of your failure to activate the Service(s) and not as a penalty. Once your order has been activated, you may cancel the Service(s) as of the end of any pre-paid period, where applicable, on at least two weeks notice prior to the end of that pre-paid period or thereafter at the end of any monthly billing period on notice delivered on or before the 15th day of the month for cancellation effective the end of that monthly billing period. To ensure cancellation of a Service whether before or after activation, you must telephone 1-866-330-9511, select the "account information or billing questions" option, and speak to our billing agent, who will process the cancellation. If you have pre-paid for a Service for any period of time beyond one monthly billing period, you will not receive a refund if you cancel the Service prior to the end of the pre-paid period and the amount retained by us in respect of the balance of the pre-paid period constitutes a reasonable estimate of the damages suffered by us due to the early cancellation and does not constitute a penalty. If you have not pre-paid for Service at all or for more than one monthly billing period and you cancel the Service during a monthly billing period, your fees and charges for that billing period will not be prorated and you Account and Service will be terminated at the end of the billing period. Cancellation is your sole remedy with respect to all matters and disputes, including but not limited to, any dispute regarding Services or the Agreement (including its enforcement or interpretation), any applicable Governing Documents, your ability to access any Services, the content available on any Services, and/or any billing matters. When you cancel a Service we may also levy cancellation fees from you corresponding to any charges that we have to pay our underlying Carriers and other Affiliated Partners due to the cancellation. Any such charges represent a reasonable estimate of the damages suffered by us due to the cancellation and do not constitute a penalty. You authorize us to charge your credit card or debit your financial institution account under your pre-authorized payment authorization, in payment for all cancellation fees. 12. Termination and Account Suspension by Us We, in our sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement for convenience upon thirty (30) days notice, or suspend the Service at any time upon notice to you. We, in our sole discretion, may cancel, suspend or restrict any Service and your Account (without any reduction in your monthly Service Fees applicable to the Service) or terminate this Agreement for cause, at any time without notice, where any of your Services are used in any manner that impairs the use of Services by others, is inconsistent with this Agreement, the AUP or any other applicable Governing Document or is contrary to law, or during any period in which any amount payable by you to us is past due. When we terminate a Service for cause, we may also levy additional termination fees from you corresponding to any charges that we have to pay our underlying Carriers and other Affiliated Partners due to the termination. Any such charges represent a reasonable estimate of the damages suffered by us due to the termination for cause and do not constitute a penalty. You authorize us to charge your credit card or debit your financial institution account under your pre-authorized payment authorization, in payment for all termination fees. If a Service is suspended or restricted for cause and the outstanding problem has not been resolved within eight (8) days from the date of suspension or restriction, the Service may be discontinued, in which case the applicable installation and/or activation fee will apply if you wish to resume your subscription to the Service and we are prepared to allow you to re-subscribe. We shall have no responsibility to notify any third party providers of services, merchandise or information of the termination, suspension or restriction of your Account, any Service(s) or this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement or suspension or restriction of your Account or any Service(s) shall not relieve you from any Service Fees, termination charges as set out in this Agreement, or other fees and charges, owing or other liability accruing hereunder prior to the time that such termination, suspension or restriction becomes effective. 13. Performance Levels of Services To the extent permitted by applicable law, we do not guarantee or warrant the performance of any Service. In the case of dial-up IS, connections may not be established on every attempt and it may be necessary to dial the IS access numbers repeatedly to establish a connection to the Internet. In the case of IS generally, speed is a function of the bottlenecks experienced upon the wider network architecture of the Internet itself. As such we do not guarantee the maximum Service performance (i.e., throughput speeds) levels. You understand and agree that any content that you may access through the IS may be subject to "caching" at intermediate locations on the Internet. Similarly, simultaneous use of high bandwidth applications (example, streaming media) by one or more (example, home networking) users may result in an experience that is slower when compared to a single application used by a single user. In the case of HSIS, underlying Carriers may impose caps on bandwidth usage and hence such usage capacity is not unlimited in those cases. We and those Carriers are entitled to enforce those bandwidth caps. If you refuse to adhere to the caps, your HSIS may be suspended, restricted or terminated. VoIP may not in all instances perform with the same degree of reliability or quality as equivalent traditional wireline telephone services. All of our Services are also subject to the limited warranty set out in this Agreement. 14. Customer Support Support is available in a variety of ways. Free e-mail support is available in English at: help@3web.com and in French at: aide@3web.com. Online help is available at http://help.3web.com. Telephone support for both technical and account/billing issues is available during certain specified hours (8 AM to 12 AM EST) at 1-866-330-9511. Additional charges may apply for telephone support depending on the reason for which support is required and/or the Services to which you subscribe. Questions and problems arising from the installation, operation and use of software and hardware, other than in relation to the basic connectivity to the Services through supported software on systems meeting the minimum system requirements, are outside the scope of our technical support and any such out-of-scope support will be provided only in our sole discretion. From time to time, we may refer you to third parties and third party websites, including without limitation for training, support, maintenance, hardware and software. You understand and agree that all such references are provided as a courtesy only, are without guarantee, are used at your sole risk, and that we shall not be liable for, and hereby disclaim all liability for, such referrals to third parties and their websites, products and services and any damages arising therefrom. Remote technical support is by its nature imprecise. Therefore, you also understand and agree that we shall not be liable for and, hereby disclaim any liability for any advice or instructions provided or not provided when you contact our technical support. 15. Anti-Spam, Anti-Junk E-mail and Anti-Virus Filtering Our IS may include components that attempt to filter out Internet transmissions and e-mails that contain "viruses", "cancelbots", "trojan horses", "worms" or other harmful or disruptive components (hereinafter collectively called "Virus(es)") and/or other components that attempt to redirect e-mail that constitutes "spam" and/or "junk e-mail". We may delete or prevent access to Internet transmissions and/or e-mails that are determined by us or our suppliers (collectively called "Service Provider(s)"), in their entire discretion, to contain Viruses. We may detect and forward e-mail messages that are determined by the Service Providers, in their entire discretion, to be spam or junk e-mail, from your Inbox folder to a "Spam" folder or "Junk E-mail" folder, respectively. Any forwarded spam or junk e-mail messages will not appear in your e-mail Inbox folder; however, you will be able to access such messages in your Spam folder or Junk E-mail folder, as the case may be. It is your responsibility to check these folders for legitimate e-mail messages which may have inadvertently been redirected to these folders. We may also set e-mails in your Spam or Junk E-mail to self-delete after a specified period of time from receipt or we may provide you with that option, if and when supported. Therefore, it is important that you check the contents of these folders for legitimate e-mails that may have been inadvertently misdirected to either of those folders. You understand that the Service Providers may disclose the contents of spam or junk e-mail messages to third parties for use in identifying, blocking and filtering further unsolicited e-mail. You agree to waive, and will not assert, any claims against the Service Providers in connection with your access to or use of the anti-Virus, anti-spam and/or anti-junk e-mail functionalities provided by the Service Providers or the failure of such functionalities to operate as intended or as described, including without limitation any claims based upon the deletion, misdirection or delay of your email or other Internet transmission or loss of, damage to, your records or data. Due to the volatile nature of the Internet and its offerings, the accuracy of the performance of the anti-Virus, anti-spam and/or anti-junk e-mail functionalities is not guaranteed by the Service Providers. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ANY DAMAGE, LOSSES OR EXPENSE RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE ANTI-VIRUS, ANTI-SPAM AND ANTI-JUNK E-MAIL FUNCTIONALITIES THAT MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH OR FORM PART OF OUR INTERNET SERVICES, INCLUDING DELETION OF ANY E-MAIL MESSAGES.

Supplementary Terms and Conditions Applicable to Unlimited Plus Subscription to Unlimited PLUS also known as 3WebLD Unlimited Plus (hereinafter called the "Plan") is also governed by these supplementary terms and conditions (hereinafter called "Supplementary Ts &Cs"), as well as by the provisions of the balance of this Agreement. Subscription to the Plan requires the payment of a flat monthly fee (hereinafter called "Plan Fee") in respect of a specific telephone number ("subscribed originating telephone number") associated with a subscriber's long distance Service account. The flat monthly fee may be modified by us from time to time, and may vary depending on whether the fee also includes the bundling of the Plan with other services offered by us. In return for the payment of the applicable Plan Fee, the subscriber is allowed to register up to three selected telephone numbers ("registered terminating telephone numbers") to which long distance calls from the subscribed originating telephone number may be dialed at no additional charge during the period in which the subscribed telephone number continues to be subscribed to the Plan. The restrictions on the selection and modification of registered terminating telephone numbers under the Plan are as follows: (1) only non-toll-free numbers associated with a land line are eligible - toll-free numbers and numbers associated with wireless services of any kind are not eligible; (2) we may, in our sole discretion determine the long distance calling destinations eligible under the Plan - telephone numbers that do not belong to those destinations are not eligible to qualify as registered terminating telephone numbers under the Plan; (3) modifications to one or more registered terminating telephone numbers may only be made once during each billing period, and such modifications may only be made online using the subscriber's applicable long distance Service account; (4) a modification made to a registered terminating telephone number at any time during a billing period is only effective as of the start of the following billing period; and (5) telephone numbers that are eligible as registered terminating telephone numbers in accordance with the preceding criteria may be selected from the following geographic areas: (i) three registered termination numbers from the North American Numbering Plan Area (hereinafter called "NANP Area"), which includes Canada, the United States of America and portions of the Caribbean adhering to the North American Numbering Plan, as further amended from time to time; (ii) two registered terminating telephone numbers from the NANP Area and one registered terminating telephone number from another eligible international destination; or (iii) one registered terminating telephone number from the NANP Area and two registered terminating telephone numbers from other eligible international destinations. Use of the Plan for data transfers between the subscribed originating telephone number and registered terminating telephone numbers if prohibited. If such use occurs, we may at our discretion cancel the subscriber's eligibility to subscribe to the Plan. Calls from the subscribed originating telephone number to telephone numbers other than the registered terminating telephone numbers are rated and billed in accordance with the rates applicable to our "Wherever" calling plan, as amended or substituted from time to time. Calls involving the subscribed originating telephone number and any registered terminating telephone number that are operator assisted, collect calls, third party calls, or calls billed to a calling card or credit card are rated and billed in accordance with the rates normally applicable to calls of these classes as if the calls did not involve a registered terminating telephone number. We reserve the right to vary the number of registered terminating telephone numbers that may be associated with the Plan or may subdivide the Plan and set different Plan Fees according to the number of applicable registered terminating telephone numbers. 21.

Limitations of VoIP 9-1-1 Service and Related Limitation of Liability You acknowledge that 9-1-1 services provided over VoIP have certain limitations compared to enhanced 9-1-1 services provided over traditional telephone service. For example, operators responding to VoIP 9-1-1 calls may not automatically be provided with available information about a 9-1-1 caller, his/her location or telephone number or be able to prevent the caller from hanging up, which are functions supported by enhanced 9-1-1 services. Therefore, you agree that if you make a 9-1-1 call using VoIP you will be prepared to confirm your location, call-back number and identity with the 9-1-1 operator who answers the call. You also agree to ensure that your location information is kept current with us since the 9-1-1 operator may assume that you are located at the last registered address associated with your VoIP address if you are unable to speak during a 9-1-1 call. You also agree not to hang up during a 9-1-1 call until you are told to do so and to call back if you are disconnected. You also acknowledge that 9-1-1 VoIP may not be available during a power outage and will not be available during a broadband Internet service outage. In order to reduce the chance that your VoIP 9-1-1 calling will be unavailable during a power outage you agree that you will ensure that all of the VoIP equipment provided to you will be connected to your hydro outlet through an uninterruptible power supply (hereinafter called "UPS") and that you will ensure that the rechargeable battery inside the UPS is replaced with a new one at least once a year. You agree that you have understood all of the 9-1-1 limitations of your VoIP and that you will make all other potential users of this service aware of these limitations. Should you operate your VoIP service outside the boundaries of the local telephone exchange associated with the telephone number assigned to you, and/or outside the municipal address registered with us for you, either temporarily or permanently, 9-1-1 service and/or emergency 9-1-1 will not be available. Should you operate your VoIP service with a telephone number other than the one assigned for your VoIP service, either temporarily or permanently, 9-1-1 service and/or emergency 9-1-1 may not be available. Should you not properly install equipment provided by or through us or maintain its proper installation configuration where a self-installation option is permitted or should you tamper with the equipment or the installation of any of the equipment provided by or through us to deliver VoIP or HSIS, your 9-1-1 service and/or emergency 9-1-1 may not be available. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE, OUR AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, UNDERLYING CARRIERS AND AFFILIATED PARTNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, DEATH OR DAMAGE TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY, ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE PROVISION OF 9-1-1 SERVICE AND/OR EMERGENCY 9-1-1 BY US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY INABILITY ON YOUR PART TO ACCESS 9-1-1 SERVICE AND/OR EMERGENCY 9-1-1 IN THE EVENT OF A SERVICE DISRUPTION FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. 23. Limitations of Liability WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE UNAVAILABILITY, INTERRUPTION, OR REDUCTION IN FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR SERVICE OR THE SERVICE IN YOUR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA, WHETHER TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT, EVEN WHERE SUCH MATTERS OCCUR AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE SERVICE. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR LACK OF SERVICE, INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE OR LACK OF FULL FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SERVICE IS CANCELLATION OF THE SERVICE. WE ALSO ASSUME NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO OR CAUSED BY THE INSTALLATION OF ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT BY YOU TO YOUR TELEPHONE OR CABLE CONNECTIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, EQUIPMENT USED TO ENHANCE THE SECURITY, PRIVACY OR ACCESSIBILITY OF THE SERVICE. IN THE EVENT OF ANY BREACH BY US, OUR AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, OR AGENTS, CARRIERS OR AFFILIATED PARTNERS, INCLUDING ANY BREACH OF A FUNDAMENTAL TERM OR ANY NEGLIGENCE, YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO RECEIVE FROM US PAYMENT FOR ACTUAL AND DIRECT DAMAGES TO A MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF THE LESSER OF AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE FEES PAID HEREUNDER BY YOU TO US IN THE LAST THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE RELEVANT BREACH AND ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00). OTHER THAN THE FOREGOING REMEDY, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL WE, OUR AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AGENTS, CARRIERS OR AFFILIATED PARTNERS, BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR: (1) ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS AND LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES THAT RESULT IN ANY WAY FROM THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE USE OF ANY SERVICE OR ACCESS TO THE INTERNET, TELEPHONE NETWORK OR CABLE NETWORK, OR ANY PART THEREOF, BY YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT, OR YOUR RELIANCE ON OR USE OF INFORMATION, SERVICES OR MERCHANDISE PROVIDED ON OR THROUGH ANY SERVICE, OR THAT RESULT FROM MISTAKES, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, DELETION OR CORRUPTION OF FILES, ERRORS, DEFECTS, DELAYS IN PREPARATIONS, OR TRANSMISSION, OR FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION FAILURE OF COMPLETION, INTEGRITY, CONTINUITY OR PROPER HANDLING OF ANY INTERNET TRANSMISSION, TELEPHONE CALL, CABLE TRANSMISSION OR 9-1-1 SERVICE OR 9-1-1 EMERGENCY CALL; OR (2) ANY LOSSES OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING LEGAL FEES) ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ALLEGATION, CLAIM, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING BASED UPON A CONTENTION THAT THE USE OF ANY SERVICE BY YOU OR A THIRD PARTY THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT INFRINGES THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, WE, OUR AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS OR AGENTS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR: (1) ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF A TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIER WHOSE FACILITIES ARE USED IN ESTABLISHING CONNECTIONS TO POINTS WHICH WE DO NOT DIRECTLY SERVE; (2) DEFAMATION OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT ARISING FROM MATERIAL TRANSMITTED OR RECEIVED OVER OUR FACILITIES OR THE FACILITIES OF OUR AFFILIATES, CARRIERS OR AFFILIATED PARTNERS; OR (3) INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS ARISING FROM COMBINING OR USING CUSTOMER-PROVIDED FACILITIES WITH OUR FACILITIES OR THE FACILITIES OF OUR AFFILIATES, CARRIERS OR AFFILIATED PARTNERS. THIS ARTICLE 23 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL APPLY EVEN IF THERE IS A BREACH OF CONDITION, A BREACH OF AN ESSENTIAL OR FUNDAMENTAL TERM, OR A FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. YOU AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET OUT IN THIS ARTICLE 23 ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE IN THE COMMERCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT BUT FOR YOUR AGREEMENT TO LIMIT OUR LIABILITY IN THE MANNER AND TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE. 24.
