IGONET
TERMS OF SERVICE
VoIP
Subscription Service
This VoIP Subscription Service Agreement
("Agreement") is between International Global
Opportunity Network, L.L.C. (“IGONET) and the
authorized user ("End User” or "Customer") of
IGONET'S residential and small business
communications Services and any related products or
Services ("Service"). This Agreement governs both
the Service and any Devices, such as an IP phone,
Multimedia Terminal Adapter, Analog Telephone
Adapter or any other IP connection Device ("Device"
or "Equipment"), used in conjunction with the
Service.
By activating the Service, End
User acknowledges receiving, reading and
understanding this Agreement and accepts the terms
and conditions herein. End User acknowledges that
he/she is of legal age to enter into this Agreement.
1. SERVICE
1.1 Term.
End User is purchasing the
Service in full monthly terms. The term begins on
the date of Service Activation and ends on the day
prior to the same date in the following month. This
Agreement automatically renews on a monthly basis
unless IGONET is provided with written notice
submitted by the End User via email to
notices@igonet.com that declares notice of
non-renewal. Such notice of non-renewal must be
received by IGONET at least ten (10) days before the
end of the monthly term in which the notice is
given. In the event that the End User attempts to
terminate Service prior to the end of a monthly
term, the End User will incur the full month's
charges to the end of the then-current term,
including, without limitation, unbilled charges,
taxes, and other recurring fees, all of which
immediately becomes due and payable. In the event
that the End User does not provide the requisite ten
(10) day written notice of termination in the
following month, the End User will also be
responsible for the next full month's charges.
Neither expiration of the term, nor termination of
Service will relieve the End User from the
obligation of paying for all accrued and unpaid
charges due IGONET under this Agreement. The terms
of termination of this Agreement are defined in
Paragraph 4.0 below.
1.2 Number
Portability.
“Number Portability” refers to
the End User's ability to transfer a non-IGONET
telephone number to the IGONET service. In regard to
porting a non-IGONET telephone number to IGONET
service, the End User understands and agrees:
• All End Users Begin Service
with an IGONET telephone number
End Users desiring to port an
existing phone number to the IGONET network must
first activate service with an IGONET telephone
number.
• Port Before Service
Cancellation
Transferring a current active
phone number to IGONET'S Service requires the End
User to issue a porting request to their current
provider, before termination of service is effected
with that Service provider. In order for an active
phone number to be transferred (ported) to IGONET,
the port request will be processed only if the
service remains active with the Service Provider
from which the End User is porting his/her number
from; cancellation of service must not be evoked by
the End User until the End User has received
acknowledgement from IGONET of a successful number
transfer.
c. Customer Initiates Request
The process of porting numbers
to the IGONET service requires the End User
initiating such activity with their current service
provider. IGONET has no ability to process these
requests independently and it is incumbent upon the
End User to initiate the port request through their
original service provider.
• Number Porting Limitations
IGONET does not have the
ability to transfer all phone numbers in North
America. IGONET has no control over the timing of
the release of the transferring number; thus, IGONET
makes no guarantees or warranties with respect to
the timing or availability of number transfer.
1.3 Residential &
Small Business Use of Service and Device.
The End User understands and
agrees that IGONET'S Service is offered solely for
residential use and for use by small businesses with
four lines or less. This Agreement explicitly
prohibits the End User from re selling or
transferring the Service or the Device to another
party without IGONET'S prior written consent. Use of
the Service or the Device for auto-dialing,
continuous or extensive call forwarding,
telemarketing (including, without limitation,
charitable or political solicitation or polling),
fax or voicemail broadcasting or fax or voicemail
blasting is strictly prohibited. IGONET reserves the
right to immediately terminate or modify Service if
it is determined, at IGONET'S sole and absolute
discretion that use of the Service or the Device is,
or at any time was, inconsistent with normal
residential usage patterns. In addition, the End
User will be required to pay higher rates for
residential or commercial Service for all periods in
which use of the Service or the Device was
inconsistent with normal residential use.
1.4 Prohibited Uses.
The End User shall use the
Service and the Device only for lawful purposes. The
End User shall not use the Service or the Device in
any way that is threatening, abusive, harassing,
defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent,
invasive of another's privacy, or any similar
behavior, herein referred to as "inappropriate
conduct”. IGONET reserves the right to immediately
terminate the End User's Service if, in the
Company's sole and absolute discretion, IGONET
determines that the End User has used the Service or
the Device inappropriately or for any unlawful
purpose. In the event of such termination, the End
User will be responsible for the full month's
charges to the end of the current term, including,
without limitation, unbilled charges, all of which
will become immediately due and payable upon
termination of the Service. If IGONET believes that
the End User has used the Service or the Device
inappropriately or for an unlawful purpose, IGONET
may forward the relevant communication and other
information, including identity data, to the
appropriate authorities for investigation and
prosecution. The End User hereby consents to
IGONET'S disclosure and delivery of such information
to any local, State or Federal authority law
requesting such information. In addition, IGONET
will provide information in response to law
enforcement requests, subpoenas, court orders, to
protect its rights and property, and, where failure
to disclose the information may lead to imminent
harm to the customer or others.
1.5 Use of Service
and Device by Customers outside North America .
Although IGONET supports
calling to foreign countries from North America,
IGONET currently does not ship Devices out of North
America, nor does IGONET provide Service anywhere
outside North America. Because the Device travels
easily and the End User may choose to travel outside
of America with the Device, in such instances, the
End User is solely responsible for any violations of
local laws and regulations resulting from such use.
IGONET reserves the right to terminate End User's
Service immediately if it is determined, in the
Company's sole and absolute discretion, that the End
User has violated any law or regulation of any
local, State or Federal authority.
1.6 Copyright;
Trademark; Unauthorized Usage of Device; Firmware or
Software .
(a) Copyright; Trademark. All
IGONET websites, corporate names, trademarks, trade
names, logos, Service Marks, and domain names
(collectively "Marks") are now and will remain at
all times the exclusive property of IGONET. The
Service and Device and any firmware or software used
to provide the Service or provided to the End User
in conjunction with providing the Service, or
embedded in the Device, and all Services,
information, documents and materials on the IGONET
websites are protected by trademark, copyright or
other intellectual property laws and international
treaty provisions. Nothing in this Agreement grants
the End User the right or license to use IGONET
Marks.
• Unauthorized Usage of
Device; Firmware or Software. This Agreement does
not grant the End User license to use the firmware
or software used to provide the Service or provided
to the End User in conjunction with providing the
Service, or embedded in the Device. The End User
expressly agrees that the Device is exclusively for
use in connection with the Service . The End User
agrees and understands that IGONET will not provide
any passwords, codes or other information or
assistance that would enable the End User to use the
Device for any other purpose. IGONET reserves the
right to prohibit the use of any interface Device
that IGONET has not provided to the End User. The
End User hereby represents and warrants that he/she
possesses all required rights, including software
and/or firmware licenses, to use any interface
Device that IGONET has not provided to the End User.
In addition, the End User shall indemnify and hold
IGONET harmless against any and all liability
arising out of the End User's use of such interface
Device with the Service. The End User shall not
reverse compile, disassemble or reverse engineer or
otherwise attempt to derive the source code from the
binary code of the firmware or software.
1.7 Tampering with
the Device or Modification of Service.
The End User shall not change
the electronic serial number or equipment identifier
of the Device or perform a factory reset of the
Device without IGONET'S prior written consent. The
End User shall not attempt to hack or otherwise
disrupt the Service or make any use of the Service
that is inconsistent with its intended purpose.
IGONET reserves the right to terminate the End
User's Service if IGONET believes, at the Company's
sole and absolute discretion that the End User has
tampered with, modified or altered the Device. In
the event of such termination, the End User will
remain responsible for the full month's charges to
the end of the current term, including, without
limitation, unbilled charges, all of which will
immediately become due and payable.
1.8 Theft of Service.
In the event of a theft of the
Device or if the End User becomes aware at any time
that the Service is being stolen, fraudulently used
or otherwise being used in an unauthorized manner,
the End User is obligated to notify IGONET
immediately, in writing or by calling the Customer
Support line at 1-800-655-7149.
Upon notification of IGONET, the End User must
provide the account number and a detailed
description of the circumstances of the Device
theft, fraudulent use or unauthorized use of
Service. Failure to do so in a timely manner may
result in the termination of Service and additional
charges to the End User. Until notice is received by
IGONET of the occurrence of the theft, fraudulent
use or unauthorized use, the End User will be liable
for all use of the Service using the stolen Device
and any and all stolen, fraudulent or unauthorized
use of the Service.
1.9 "Out of Box"
Device Failure
In the event that a Device
arrives damaged or inoperable, the End User must
report said damage to IGONET Technical Support by
calling 1-800-809-5589 within 72 hours of
delivery. IGONET'S Technical Support will
verify that the unit has failed out of box, and upon
doing so, IGONET will ship a new unit within 24
hours, along with a shipping label for the prepaid
return of the failed unit.
1.10 Number Transfer
(ported number) Termination
Upon the termination of
Service, IGONET will release to the End User's new
Service provider the telephone number that the End
User had at one time ported (transferred or moved
over) to IGONET from a previous Service provider and
used in connection with the End User's Service if:
• The number transfer request
is submitted to IGONET in advance of service
cancellation
• The End User's account is
completely current
• Such new Service provider
is able to accept the porting number
End User agrees and
understands that in order for a number to be
successfully ported, the porting number must be
active, current and in service. The new Service
provider to whom the terminating IGONET End User
wishes to move the number verifies that the account
is an active, billing account prior to acceptance of
the port order. Therefore, if the End User
terminates the account prior to the fulfillment of
the port order, the order will be rejected by the
new Service receiving the port request.
End User acknowledges that
porting requests submitted to IGONET via the end
user's local exchange carrier will be effected
within one week. Porting Requests received by IGONET
through the an alternate carrier executing the
IGONET customer's request will result in seven day
response time by IGONET in fulfilling the port
request and the End User's IGONET Service may be
cancelled as a result.
IGONET reserves the right to
assess a handling fee where standard processes are
not adequate to cost effectively support the porting
request.
1.11 Service
Distinctions.
The Service is not a
telecommunications Service and IGONET provides it on
a best efforts basis. Important distinctions exist
between telecommunications Service and the Service
offering that IGONET provides. The Service is
subject to different regulatory treatment than
telecommunications Service. This treatment may limit
or otherwise affect the End User's rights of redress
before regulatory agencies.
1 .12 Ownership and
Risk of Loss.
The End User will own the
Device and bear all risk of loss, theft, casualty,
or damage to the Device, upon delivery to or receipt
by End User until the time (if any) when it is
returned to IGONET in accordance with this
Agreement.
1.13 No 0+ or
Operator Assisted Calling; May Not Support x11
Calling.
The Service does not support
0+ or operator assisted calling (including, without
limitation, collect calls, third party billing calls
or calling card calls). The Service may not support
311, 511 and/or other x11 (other than certain
specified dialing such as 911 and 411, which are
provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) Services
in one or more (or all) Service areas.
1.14 Incompatibility
with Other Services.
The End User acknowledges that
some providers of broadband Service may provide
modems that prevent the transmission of
communications using this Service. IGONET does not
warrant that the Services will be compatible with
all broadband Services and expressly disclaims any
express or implied warranties of merchantability or
fitness for an intended purpose regarding the
compatibility of the Service with any particular
broadband Service. The End User acknowledges that
the Service may not be compatible with home security
systems. The End User may be required to maintain a
telephone connection through the local exchange
carrier in order to use any alarm monitoring
functions for any security system installed in the
End User's home or business. The End User is
responsible for contacting the alarm monitoring
company to test the compatibility of any alarm
monitoring or security system with the Service.
2.0 EMERGENCY

IGONET'S underlying carrier provides a non-warrantied,
non-guaranteed e911 Service in limited areas of the
United States only. The End User agrees to the terms
and conditions that apply to the End User's
geographic location of Service usage. Residents of
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and New
York LATA 132 are inside the Underlying Carrier's
e911 Service coverage area. End Users not located in
these areas herein agree to the terms of Paragraph
2.2, No e911 Access. End Users located in the e911
coverage herein agree to the terms of Paragraph 2.3.
• No E911 Access (for
End User's Located Outside the Underlying Carrier's
e911 Coverage Area)
(a) No Access. The End
User acknowledges that by using the Service outside
the e911 coverage area, the End User has no access
to traditional emergency response Services (NO FIRE,
POLICE, AMBULANCE). END USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS

LIFELINE SERVICE, BUT AS A LONG DISTANCE SERVICE.
END USER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE/SHE/THEY WILL
NOT HAVE ACCESS TO TRADITIONAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE

order to have access to fire, police, ambulance and
other emergency response Services (e.g.
“999”/”112”/”911”), maintaining local phone Service
is required. The End User acknowledges and
understands that the Service does NOT function or
connect the same way as traditional copper, fiber,
or wire-line local phone Service and is intended for
domestically originated long distance Service only.
Any local Service is incidental to the primary
purpose of the Service. The End User agrees to
inform any household residents, guests, and other
third persons who may be present at the physical
location where the Service is in use as to the
non-availability of emergency response dialing ,
including without limitation to supply or maintain
existing conspicuous posting on the Device of any
caution or warning materials as may be appropriate.
End User also agrees to make reasonable efforts and
use reasonable judgment in informing such other
users of the Service of the proper and specific
operation and requirements of the Service or,
alternatively, agrees to restrict third parties'
access to the Service for any purpose. All non-voice
communications equipment, including but not limited
to, home security systems (set up to make automatic
phone calls), fax machines, modems, and medical
monitoring Devices, may not be compatible with the
Service.
(b) Service Outage.
End User acknowledges and understands that
the Service as a whole does not function in the
event of a power failure or broadband Service
outage, the source and maintenance of which is the
End User's sole responsibility.
(c) Limitation of

acknowledges that he/she is of legal age to consent
to the terms and conditions of Service herein (i.e.
18 years of age or older). End User acknowledges
receipt of these emergency Service limitations, and
understands and agrees to them. By accepting these
terms and conditions, the End User knowingly and
voluntarily waives any claim against IGONET and the
Company's underlying provider of the Service, RNK,
Inc. (“Underlying Provider”), and either party's
distributors and independent resellers, for
interference with or disruption of non-voice
communications equipment due to the Service. End
User acknowledges and understands that the liability
of IGONET and the Underlying Provider, its
independent resellers and distributors is limited
for any Service outage and/or inability to access
emergency Service personnel, as set forth in this
document, and applicable Tariffs and/or Public
Disclosures. END USER AGREES TO DEFEND,
INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS IGONET AND THE
UNDERLYING PROVIDER, THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AFFILIATES, INDEPENDENT
RESELLERS, AND DISTRIBUTORS OF THE SERVICE, AND ANY

2.3 Limited E911 Service and Terms
WHEN YOUR ADDRESS YOU LISTED
AT THE TIME YOU REGISTERED FOR THE SERVICE
(“REGISTERED LOCATION”).
(a) Service
Registration . By dialing 911 on an IGONET
subscribed telephone, the call is routed to
emergency personnel responsible for the Service
address the End User listed as the registration
address ("Registration Location'). Emergency
resources and personnel will be dispatched to the
registered locations regardless of the actual
location of the telephone at the time of the 911
call. The end user must correctly identify the
actual Service address where the VoIP Device will be
located when the End User registers for the Service.
Failure to do so may result in fire, police or
emergency Services either not being able to find
your location or may significantly delay their
response. The End User is obligated to accurately
report the Service address or may incur fines or
other penalties resulting from the dispatch of
emergency Services.
Should the End User wish to
change the Registration Location of his/her Device,
this can be done online by accessing the
www.myigonet.com
. The End User is required to obtain a new
telephone number if he moves out of the local
telephone exchange.
(b) Service Limitations . The End
User acknowledges and accepts the following Service
limitations:
(1) 911 emergency dialing is
only available on approved Devices or equipment and
upon completion of order processing and Service
activation. If other equipment is used, 911 Service
may fail.
(2) 911 Service will not
function if the End User's VoIP Device is not
configured correctly or if the Service is not
working for any reason including, but not limited
to, power outages, broadband Service outages,
network congestion, suspension or disconnection of
Service because of non-payment or late payment, of
if the End User fails to meet the minimum technical
Service requirements, or for any other reason the
End User's Service is temporarily suspended or
terminated. In the event of a power outage, the End
User may be required to reset or reconfigure the
equipment prior to being able to use the Service,
including for 911 purposes.
(3) End User will advise all
friends, guests, family members (including any
others who might place calls over this Service from
the location at which the Device is installed and
registered) of these limitations, and will place
warning stickers on or near the telephone.
(4) End User acknowledges that
he/she is of legal age to consent to the terms and
conditions of Service herein (i.e. 18 years of age
or older). End User acknowledges receipt of these
911/E911 Service limitations and that he/she
understands and agrees to them. The End User
acknowledges that the liability of IGONET and
Genet's underlying provider of the Service is
limited for any Service outage and/or inability to
dial 911 from the End User's line or to access
emergency Service personnel, as set forth in this
document and in applicable tariffs and/or public
disclosures. The End User agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold harmless the underlying provider,
its officers, directors, employees, agents,
affiliates and independent resellers and any other
Service provider who furnishes Services to you in
connection with the Service, from any and all
claims, losses (including loss of profits or
revenue), damages, fines, penalties, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney fees) by, or on behalf of the End User or
any third party or user of the Service relating to
the failure or outage of the Service, including
those related to 911 dialing.
3.0
Charges; Payments; Taxes; Termination
3.1 Billing.
In order to subscribe to the
Service, the End User must purchase the Device and
pre-pay, prior to shipment, one month base Service
fees, providing IGONET with a valid e-mail address
and payment via electronic check or major credit
card. The form of payment chosen must be associated
with a valid North American billing address .
Monthly Service fees, including usage, with the
exception of the first month's pre-paid Service
fees, will be automatically charged to the End
User's major credit card from a card issuer accepted
by IGONET or via direct debit to the End User's
checking account via a bank specified by the End
User at the time of enrollment and approved by
IGONET.
IGONET reserves the right, at
any time, to stop accepting credit or debit cards
from one or more issuers. If the End User's credit
or direct debit capability expires, the End User
closes his/her account, the End User's billing
address changes, or the End User's credit is
cancelled or debit account closed and/or replaced on
account of loss or theft, the End User must advise
IGONET immediately in writing. IGONET will bill
monthly, in advance, all charges, applicable taxes
and surcharges (except for usage-based charges,
which will be billed monthly in arrears, and any
other charges which apply in arrears), shipping and
handling charges, activation fees, monthly Service
fees, international usage charges, advanced feature
charges, equipment purchases and termination fees.
The amount of the fees and
charges shall be published on the IGONET website
www.igonet.com and may change from
time to time, at the discretion of IGONET.
Notification of monthly invoices will be sent to the
End User via email address as specified at time of
Subscription. IGONET reserves the right to bill at
more frequent intervals if the amount due from the
End User at any time exceeds fifty dollars ($50.00).
Usage charges will be billed in increments that are
rounded up to the nearest minute except as otherwise
set forth in the rate schedules found on the IGONET
website.
3.2 Billing
Disputes.
The End User is obligated to
notify IGONET by calling the Customer Service
Department at 1-800-655-7149 or via email to
billinginquiries@igonet.com after receiving the
billing statement if he/she disputes any charges on
that statement; otherwise, the End User will be
deemed to have waived any right to contest such
charges.
3.3 Payment and
Collection.
• Payment. IGONET accepts
payment by credit card and electronic checking for
the initial fees and accepts credit card and direct
debit to the End User's checking account for payment
of monthly recurring fees. The End User's
subscription to the Service authorizes IGONET to
charge the End User's credit card or debit the End
User's checking account, as specified at the time of
enrollment or as changed from time to time by the
End User. In the event any debit account or manner
of payment is changed by End User to a new or
alternative source, IGONET must be immediately
notified prior to such change. This authorization
remains valid until thirty (30) days from the end of
the monthly billing cycle wherein IGONET receives
written notice from the End User terminating
IGONET'S authority to process such charges,
whereupon IGONET will charge the End User's credit
or debit account for the termination fee, if
applicable, and any other outstanding charges and
terminate the End User's Service. IGONET may
terminate Service at any time at the Company's sole
and absolute discretion if any charge to the End
User's credit card or debit account is declined or
reversed, the End User's credit card expires, or
checking account is closed, and the End User has not
provided IGONET with a valid replacement form of
payment or in the event of any other non-payment of
account charges.
(b) Collection. If the End
User's Service is terminated, End User will remain
fully liable to IGONET for all charges pursuant to
this Agreement and any and all costs IGONET incurs
to collect such amounts, including, without
limitation, collection costs and attorney's fees.
3.4
Charges for Directory Calls (411).
IGONET will charge
$.99 per call made to Directory Assistance.
3.5
Taxes.
The End User is responsible
for payment of all applicable Federal, State,
Provincial, municipal, local or other governmental
sales, use, excise, value-added, personal property,
public utility or other taxes, fees or charges now
in force or enacted in the future, that arise from
or as a result of the End User's subscription or use
or payment for the Service or a Device. Such amounts
are in addition to payment for the Service or
Devices and will be billed as set forth in this
Agreement. If the End User is exempt from payment of
such taxes, he/she must provide IGONET with an
original certificate that satisfies applicable legal
requirements attesting to tax-exempt status. Tax
exemption will only apply from and after the date
IGONET receives such certificate.
4.0 Termination /
Cancellation of Service
4.1 Termination: IGONET'S Right to Discontinue
Service.
IGONET reserves the right to
suspend or discontinue the Service generally, or to
terminate End User's Service at any time, at the
sole and absolute discretion of IGONET. If IGONET
discontinues the Service generally, or terminates
the End User's Service without a stated reason, the
End User will only be responsible for charges
accrued through the date of termination, including a
pro-rated portion of the final month's charges. If
the End User's Service is terminated in response to
the End User's breach of any provision of this
Agreement, the End User is responsible for the full
month's charges to the end of the current term,
including, without limitation, unbilled charges, all
of which immediately becomes due and payable.
4.2 Termination:
Customer's Right to Discontinue Service
The End User has the right to
cancel the Service subscription at any time upon not
less than ten (10) days prior written notice by
either e-mailing the IGONET Customer Care Department
at
notices@igonet.com or by mailing written
notification to IGONET at, 2315 Aaron St. Port
Charlotte , Florida 33952 , ATTN. Customer Service
Dept. Such termination results in the End User
incurring the full month's charges to the end of the
then-current term, including, without limitation,
unbilled charges, taxes, and other recurring fees,
all of which immediately becomes due and payable.
The End User is responsible for the next full
month's charges in the event that he or she does not
provide the requisite ten (10) days notice of
termination prior to the expiration of the
then-current term. Expiration of the term or
termination of Service will not excuse the End User
from paying all accrued and unpaid charges due under
this Agreement. End User further agrees that:
- Cancellation during the
first month of Service will NOT result in
re-imbursement of the initial fees, unless the
Money Back Guarantee has been exercised (see
Paragraph 5.0)
- The End User has no
rights or mechanism for returning the Device;
IGONET has made no claims or warranties in
regard to a Device return program for End User's
terminating Service.
- The End User is expressly
prohibited from reselling the Device.
- Within ten (10) days of
termination notification, IGONET will process
the termination order.
- If the End User decides
to cancel the termination order, the End User
may do so within five (5) days of issuing the
termination request.
- End User understands that
unless a "number transfer' order is submitted at
termination, the phone number associated with
the Service becomes available to other IGONET
subscribers upon processing of the cancellation
order and the End User has no means after that
time to re-associate that phone number with the
End User's Service, should the End User choose
to resubscribe at a later date.
- End User will receive a
cancellation confirmation and a final invoice;
the final invoice will be issued based on the
End User's bill cycle. Termination of Service
does not alleviate payment obligations on behalf
of the End User;
5.0 Money Back
Guarantee; Limitations and Conditions.
IGONET offers a limited money
back guarantee that is only applicable to the first
Service line ordered for use by End User. This
limited guarantee does not apply to additional or
secondary lines.
IGONET will cancel the
Service, refund the activation fee, the monthly
charge for the first month of Service, shipping
charges and the ATA product charge, provided that
End User has:
- requested service to be
cancelled within the first thirty (30) days from
activation;
- not exceeded 200 minutes
of usage at any time;
- returned the Device to
IGONET within two (2) weeks of cancellation
notice in original condition, normal wear and
tear excluded;
- returned the Device in
the original packaging, at his or her cost, with
the UPC or bar code intact and is accompanied by
all original components, accessories, parts,
manuals, registration cards and other
documentation; and
- prior to returning the
Device to IGONET, a Cancellation Request must be

7.0 Miscellaneous
7 .1
Governing Law.
The Agreement
and the relationship between the End User and IGONET

without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To

the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the
courts located within the state of Florida and waive
any objection as to venue or inconvenient forum.
7.2 Mandatory Arbitration and No Jury Trial.
Any dispute or claim
between the End User or any user of the Service and
IGONET arising out of or relating to the Service or
Device will be resolved by arbitration before a
single arbitrator administered by the American
Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with
its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration
will take place in Florida, at the office of the AAA
closest to the corporate office of IGONET. The
arbitrator's decision will follow the plain meaning
of the relevant documents, and will be final and
binding. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties
agree that no arbitrator has the authority to: (i)
award relief in excess of what this Agreement
provides; (ii) award punitive or exemplary damages,
or (iii) award attorney fees or costs. Judgment on

kind in court or in arbitration or seek to

in arbitration. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION

OBJECTION TO JURISDICTION IN FLORIDA, AND

or provision.

and any and all prior or contemporaneous statements,
understandings, writings, commitments, or
representations concerning its subject matter.
7.5 Severability.
If any part of

unenforceable, all other parts of this Agreement
