4. TELCO SERVICES
4.1 VoIP Service. Customer acknowledges and understands that the Telco Services provided by Sharpen are not traditional telephone services. Important distinctions exist between the Telco Services and a traditional telephone service, including but not limited to, different regulatory treatment. This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before Federal, State or Provincial Telecommunications Regulatory Agencies. Customer acknowledges and understands that the Telco Services provided by Sharpen do not function in the event of power failure. Customer also acknowledges and understands that the Telco Services require a fully functional broadband connection to the Internet (which is not provided by Sharpen).
4.2 International Coverage. Certain usage restrictions may be placed on the Telco Services due to a high risk of fraud or regulatory restrictions. These restrictions include, but are not limited to, the blocking of calls terminating to or originating from certain countries or geographic areas. Restrictions for the Telco Services will be published on Sharpen’s status page (http://status.sharpencx.com).
4.3 Usage Charges. Telco usage charges are assessed to Customer’s account as Telco Services are utilized and are based on usage rates in effect at the time the Telco Services were delivered. Usage is billed in six second increments and may be subject to a minimum connect charge, except as otherwise detailed. Non-contracted usage rates can be found within the Sharpen Application (https://app.sharpencx.com).

Customer may contract for additional concurrent lines from the current Service Order Form. Monthly line usage above the contracted number will be charged at a 15% premium over published list price for concurrent lines. Sharpen has within its discretion the ability to throttle the service by rejecting interaction requests when those requests result in exceeding 2 times the concurrent lines purchased.
4.6 Data Retention Period. Customer data will be retained as required by law to meet Sharpen’s applicable legal obligations. Customer may revise the default retention period within the Sharpen Service for Customer’ business purposes. Customer understands that Sharpen is not responsible for ensuring that Customer meets its own legal and regulatory obligations. Any data revised to be stored longer than the defined period will be charged at the rate as agreed on the current Service Order Form. Sharpen will maintain the minimal telco data elements for the period as required by law.
4.7 Third Party Communication Applications. Customer acknowledges that the use of “Third-Party Communication’s Applications” (Interactive Voice Response (IVR), Auto Attendant, Auto Dialers) utilizing Sharpen provided VOIP Services are strictly prohibited.

Customer may not exceed the “Short Duration Limit” during any billing cycle, which is defined as occurring when 10% or more of Customer’s completed calls are equal to or less than 6 seconds in length during a billing cycle (each a “Short Duration Call”). Sharpen will notify Customer if Customer’s Short Duration Call rate exceeds 5%, and then again when Customer exceeds the Short Duration Limit. If the Customer does not bring its Short Duration Call rate below the Short Duration Limit within thirty (30) days of such second notice, Sharpen may, at its discretion, disable any or all of Customer’s users and/or terminate Customer’s account in accordance with Section 3.1.
