operate identically to traditional fixed line emergency call
services. The Customer also acknowledges that this is a Voice over
Data Network service, and as such, it is dependent on the Customer’s
connection to the data network and the data network itself. The
Customer’s service may therefore cease to function if there is a
power failure or a failure in the underlying data network.
