You agree that PIRevenue shall not be in breach of its obligations to you hereunder if PIRevenue is prevented from performing such obligations by reason of the breach or other failure by any such Vendor to perform its obligations to PIRevenue.
- Ownership; Software. PIRevenue owns or licenses the content available on or through the Network, including all Intellectual Property Rights associated therewith ("Network Content").

You are not permitted to use the Network Content or Marks without the prior written consent of PIRevenue. The Network Content and Marks are protected under U.S. and international laws. The platform and software (the "Software") upon which the Network is provided to you are licensed to PIRevenue by RingRevenue, Inc. ("RR"). By agreeing to this Agreement, you are also agreeing to be bound by RR's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy ("RR License Terms and Policy") currently available at http://www.ringrevenue.com/terms_of_service and http://www.ringrevenue.com/privacy_policy, respectively. The RR License Terms and Policy may be changed by RR from time to time; and it is your responsibility to ensure you are familiar with the current RR License Terms and Policy. In the event you do not want to agree with any current or future terms in the RR License Terms and Policy, your only option shall be to immediately discontinue your use of the Network. Your continued use of the Network at any time constitutes your acceptance of the RR License Terms and Policy and acknowledgment of your obligations described therein. If there is any conflict between the RR License Terms and Policy and this Agreement, the RR License Terms and Policy shall prevail.
- Modifications to the Network. PIRevenue reserve the right to terminate or modify individual features of the Network from time to time with or without notice.

- Telephonic Services. The telephonic services available through the Network are designed to be used in conjunction with local exchange telephone, wireless telephone, or equivalent telecommunications services that you procure from a third-party provider rather than as a substitute or replacement for such third-party telecommunications services. EMERGENCY SERVICES CANNOT BE ACCESSED BY ORIGINATING CALLS TO 911 USING THESE SERVICES. You understand and acknowledge that emergency services cannot be accessed by originating calls to 911 using the telephonic services available through the Network.

Neither PIRevenue nor any of our affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, agents, network services providers, contractors, suppliers, partners, officers, directors or employees are or will be liable to any extent or in any manner whatsoever for the inability of persons to access emergency services by originating a call to 911 using the telephonic services available through the Network. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS US, OUR AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, PARENT COMPANIES, AGENTS, NETWORK SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS, PARTNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES IN CONNECTION WITH THE telephonic services available through the Network FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, EXPENSES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ATTORNEYS' FEES), PENALTIES, FINES, DEATH, INJURY TO PERSONS OR DAMAGES TO TANGIBLE PROPERTY ARISING BY VIRTUE OF OR RELATING TO THE ABSENCE OF 911 SERVICE AND/OR THE INABILITY OF MEMBER OR ANY THIRD PERSON OR PARTY TO BE ABLE TO DIAL 911 USING THE telephonic services available through the Network.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, we shall not be liable to you or any third party, or responsible for any charges incurred for the termination of services you obtain from third-party providers. Upon termination, any telephone number(s) assigned to you for use with the Network will become unavailable for use and, after an aging period, be returned to the inventory of telephone numbers and become available for assignment by us.
