1. Use of the Services and Rylo Properties
The App, Website, and the Services, and the information and content available on the App, Website and the Services (each, a "Rylo Property" and collectively, the "Rylo Properties") are protected by U.S. copyright laws. Subject to the Agreement, Rylo grants you a limited license to reproduce portions of Rylo Properties for the sole purpose of using the Services for your personal or internal business purposes. A "Registered User" is a user who has a registered account (an "Account") and is the person who will actually use the Services and who must have a hearing or speech disability that necessitates the use of a captioned or relayed telephone service, or is a user who creates an Account for demonstration purposes. Unless otherwise specified by Rylo in a separate license, your right to use any and all Rylo Properties is subject to the Agreement.
1.1. Description. The Service allows Registered Users to create, import and maintain an address book of the Registered User's contacts ("Contacts") to enable a Registered User to place and receive captioned calls to such contacts through the internet via the App or Website. You understand that the captioning provided in connection with the Services is by an automated speech recognition system which provides captions in the App or Website.
1.2. Requirements for Use of Captioned Telephone and Relay Services. In order to use the call captioning Service for free, you represent that you have a hearing or a speech disability that necessitates use of a captioned or relayed telephone service, and you will not allow others who do not have a hearing or speech disability to utilize the Services to make or receive calls through the App or Website. Except as set forth below, you understand that the cost of captioning calls for users with hearing loss through the Services is funded through a government program, and that we may disclose your telephone number to third parties to verify eligibility to use the Services and when required by law, for example, when we seek reimbursement for captioned calls through the Interstate Telecommunications Relay Service ("TRS") Fund. Where required by law, you will notify other calling parties that you are using a service that captions calls. Rylo reserves the right to offer the Services for a fee outside of the TRS program, including those Services that are not captioned telephone services or relayed telephone service.
1.3. App License. Subject to your compliance with the Agreement, Rylo grants you a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install and use a copy of the App on a mobile device or computer that you own or control and to run such copy of the App solely for your own personal or internal business purposes. Furthermore, with respect to any App accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (an "App Store Sourced Application"), you will only use the App Store Sourced Application (a) on an Apple-branded product that runs iOS (Apple's proprietary operating system) and (b) as permitted by the "Usage Rules" set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service. Notwithstanding the first sentence in this section, with respect to any App accessed through or downloaded from the Google Play store (a "Google Play Sourced App"), you may have additional license rights with respect to use of the App on a shared basis within your designated family group.
1.4. Updates. You understand that Rylo Properties are evolving. As a result, Rylo may require you to accept updates to Rylo Properties that you have installed. You acknowledge and agree that Rylo may update Rylo Properties with or without notifying you. You may need to update third-party software from time to time in order to use Rylo Properties.
1.5. Certain Restrictions. The rights granted to you in the Agreement are subject to the following restrictions: (a) you shall not license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, reproduce, distribute, host or otherwise commercially exploit Rylo Properties or any portion of Rylo Properties, including the App; (b) you shall not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any trademark, logo, or other Rylo Properties (including images, text, page layout or form) of Rylo; (c) you shall not use any metatags or other "hidden text" using Rylo's name or trademarks; (d) you shall not modify, translate, adapt, merge, make derivative works of, disassemble, decompile, reverse compile or reverse engineer any part of Rylo Properties except to the extent the foregoing restrictions are expressly prohibited by applicable law; (e) you shall not use any manual or automated software, devices or other processes (including but not limited to spiders, robots, scrapers, crawlers, avatars, data mining tools or the like) to "scrape" or download data from any web pages contained in the App or Website (except that we grant the operators of public search engines revocable permission to use spiders to copy materials from the App or Website for the sole purpose of and solely to the extent necessary for creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials); (f) you shall not access Rylo Properties in order to build a similar or competitive App, Website or service; (g) except as expressly stated herein, no part of Rylo Properties may be copied, reproduced, distributed, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted or transmitted in any form or by any means; and (h) you shall not remove or destroy any copyright notices or other proprietary markings contained on or in Rylo Properties. Any future release, update or other addition to Rylo Properties shall be subject to the Agreement. Rylo, its suppliers and service providers reserve all rights not granted in the Agreement. Rylo may, in its sole discretion, waive any or all of the restrictions set forth in this Section by executing a separate written agreement with a third party on such terms and conditions as Rylo deems appropriate. Any unauthorized use of any Rylo Property terminates the licenses granted by Rylo pursuant to the Agreement.
1.6. Third-Party Materials. As a part of Rylo Properties, you may have access to materials that are hosted by another party. You agree that it is impossible for Rylo to monitor such materials and that you access these materials at your own risk.
2. Registration
2.1. Registering Your Account. In order to access certain features of Rylo Properties you may be required to become a Registered User.
2.2. Registration Data. In registering an account on the App or Website, you agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about the intended user of the Services as prompted by the registration form (the "Registration Data").
You represent that the Registered User is (a) at least eighteen (18) years old (or has reached the age of majority where the Registered User lives), in which case the Registered User must create the Account themselves; or, if the Registered User is under eighteen (18), the Registered User's parent or legal guardian must create the Account on the Registered User's behalf in accordance with Section 2.6 below; and (b) not a person barred from using Rylo Properties under the laws of the United States, the Registered User's place of residence or any other applicable jurisdiction. The person registering the Account further represents that they are of legal age to form a binding contract and have the legal authority to enter into this Agreement on the Registered User's behalf where applicable.
You are responsible for all activities that occur under the Account, whether or not authorized. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Rylo has reasonable grounds to suspect that any information you provide is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Rylo has the right to suspend or terminate the Account and refuse any and all current or future use of Rylo Properties (or any portion thereof). You agree not to create an Account using a false identity or information. Except as expressly permitted under Section 2.6 (Accounts for Minors), you agree not to create an Account on behalf of someone other than yourself. You agree that no Registered User shall have more than one Account at any given time. Rylo reserves the right to remove or reclaim any usernames at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to, claims by a third party that a username violates the third party's rights. You agree not to create an Account or use Rylo Properties if you (or the Registered User on whose behalf you are registering) have been previously removed by Rylo, or have been previously banned from any of Rylo Properties.
2.3. Your Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you acknowledge and agree that you shall have no ownership or other property interest in your Account, and you further acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to your Account are and shall forever be owned by and inure to the benefit of Rylo. Rylo reserves the right to terminate your Account if it has been inactive for more than thirty (30) days.
2.4. Necessary Equipment and Software. You must provide all equipment and software necessary to connect to Rylo Properties. You are solely responsible for any fees, including Internet connection or mobile fees, that you incur when accessing Rylo Properties. By providing your cellphone number and using the Services, you hereby affirmatively consent to our use of your cellphone number for calls and texts in order to perform the Services. Rylo will not assess and charge for any calls or texts, but standard message charges or other charges from your wireless carrier may apply. You may opt out of receiving text messages from us by emailing support@rylo.com.
2.5. Numbering. Rylo assigns you a local ten-digit number during our sign-up process, assigned by geographic location. Per FCC rules, Rylo cannot assign you a toll-free number, but you may obtain one here. You may request that Rylo link your Rylo number with a toll-free number that you obtain. At any time, you may bring an IP Relay number with you to Rylo from another IP Relay provider ("port in") and you may also port out your Rylo number to another internet-based TRS provider. If you initially sign up to use IP Relay with Rylo, Rylo will serve as your default provider. You may use more than one IP Relay provider to make IP Relay calls, with one IP Relay provider serving as the "default provider," at your discretion.
2.6. Accounts for Minors. If the Registered User is under eighteen (18) years of age (or under the age of majority where the Registered User lives), the Registered User may not register an Account themselves. Instead, the Registered User's parent or legal guardian (the "Parent/Guardian") must register the Account on the minor Registered User's behalf. By registering an Account on behalf of a minor Registered User, the Parent/Guardian represents and agrees that:
- The Parent/Guardian is the minor Registered User's parent or legal guardian and has the legal authority to enter into this Agreement on the minor Registered User's behalf, to consent to the minor Registered User's use of the Services, and to provide the certifications and consents required under this Agreement and applicable FCC rules;
- The minor Registered User has a hearing or speech disability that necessitates the use of captioned or relayed telephone service (the Parent/Guardian, not the minor Registered User, signs the TRS eligibility self-certification required under 47 C.F.R. § 64.611 on behalf of the minor Registered User);
- The information provided in Registration Data describes the minor Registered User (including the minor Registered User's full legal name, residential address, date of birth, and any other identifying information required under Section 3), and the Parent/Guardian will additionally provide the Parent/Guardian's own full legal name, residential address, and relationship to the minor Registered User for submission to the TRS User Registration Database as required by the FCC;
- The Parent/Guardian will supervise the minor Registered User's use of the Services, is responsible for all activity on the Account, and accepts full responsibility for the minor User's compliance with this Agreement;
- The Parent/Guardian will promptly notify Rylo if the minor Registered User no longer meets the eligibility criteria, if the Parent/Guardian's legal authority changes (for example, on a transfer of custody), or if the Registration Data otherwise becomes inaccurate.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the minor Registered User remains the user of the Services for purposes of FCC TRS rules and the TRS User Registration Database. The Parent/Guardian's role is to provide consent and certification on the minor Registered User's behalf; the Parent/Guardian does not become the Registered User and may not use the Services for their own communications unless the Parent/Guardian independently has a qualifying hearing or speech disability and separately registers their own Account.
If the minor Registered User is under the age of thirteen (13), Rylo will collect, use, and disclose personal information about the minor Registered User only in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and our Privacy Policy. The Parent/Guardian's verifiable parental consent under COPPA will be obtained as part of the registration process.
2.7 Billing and Auto-Renewal. To the extent you subscribe to and are billed for any Rylo Services, subscription fees will be billed in advance on a recurring basis. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current subscription rate unless you cancel prior to the renewal date. You authorize Rylo to charge the payment method on file for each renewal period without further action on your part. To the extent required by law, you will receive a reminder notice before any automatic renewal. To cancel, you must do so through your account settings or by contacting support at least thirty (30) days before your renewal date; cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period and no partial refunds will be issued for unused time. Rylo reserves the right to change its subscription pricing upon advance notice, and your continued use of Rylo Properties following such notice constitutes your acceptance of the updated pricing.
3. TRS User Registration Database Consent for Internet Protocol Captioned Telephone Service ("IP CTS") Users
You consent that Rylo may collect and transmit the following information to the TRS User Registration Database to ensure proper administration of the TRS program, as required by the FCC: (A) the User's full name; (B) the User's full residential address; (C) telephone number; (D) a unique identifier such as the electronic serial number (ESN) of the User's IP CTS device, the User's log-in identification, or the User's email address; (E) the last four digits of the User's social security number or alternatives (as appropriate); (F) the User's date of birth; (G) Registered Location (if applicable); (H) Rylo as the User's IP CTS provider; (I) date of service initiation and (when applicable) termination; (J) a digital copy of the User's self-certification of eligibility for IP CTS and the date obtained by Rylo; and (K) if you are an existing user, the date on which the User last placed an IP CTS call.
Additional information collected for minor Users. If the User is under eighteen (18) years of age, Rylo will additionally collect and transmit to the TRS User Registration Database the full name and residential address of the Parent/Guardian who registered the Account on the minor User's behalf, and the self-certification of eligibility for the minor User will be the certification signed by the Parent/Guardian on the minor User's behalf in accordance with Section 2.6.
The handling of all information described in this Section 3 is also governed by our Privacy Policy. Failure to consent will require Rylo to deny the User service.
4. Responsibility for Content
4.1. Customer Content. You acknowledge that all communications, data, text, Contacts, sound, messages and/or other materials shared or accessible through Rylo Properties (collectively, "Content"), are the sole responsibility of the party from whom such Content originated.

We do not claim any ownership rights in your Customer Content. As between you and Rylo, you retain any and all of your rights to your Customer Content. We consider all Customer Content to be confidential and we do not use, share, or access Customer Content unless directed to do so by you, to ensure compliance with the Agreement, and/or to comply with applicable law and other legal requirements. For example, with your permission we would access your Customer Content to respond to and solve your support request. You are solely responsible for Customer Content and represent that you own or have the necessary rights to all of your Customer Content, and that use of Customer Content does not infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party's intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation, and that the Customer Content complies with the Agreement. You represent and warrant that you have obtained all consents and permissions needed to provide and use your Contacts in the context of the Services. By making any Customer Content available through the Services, you hereby grant to Rylo a non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, host, cache, store, reproduce, transmit, publish, distribute and modify (for formatting purposes only), your Customer Content solely in connection with operating and providing the Services and Rylo Properties to you. Subject to the foregoing license, as between Rylo and you, you retain any and all of your rights to your Customer Content.
4.2. No Obligation to Pre-Screen Content. You acknowledge that Rylo has no obligation to review Content (including, but not limited to, Customer Content), although Rylo reserves the right in its sole discretion to refuse or delete any Content. In the event that Rylo refuses or deletes any Content, you acknowledge that Rylo will do so for Rylo's benefit, not yours. Without limiting the foregoing, Rylo shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the Agreement or is otherwise objectionable. You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from harmful or destructive Content. Rylo disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from the use by visitors or Registered Users of our Services or from Content there posted.
4.3. Storage. Unless expressly agreed to by Rylo in writing elsewhere, Rylo has no obligation to store any Customer Content. Rylo has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or accuracy of any Content or the failure to store, transmit or receive transmission of Content.

5.1. Rylo Properties. Except with respect to Customer Content, you agree that Rylo and its suppliers own all rights, title and interest in Rylo Properties (including but not limited to, any computer code, themes, objects, concepts, artwork, animations, sounds, audiovisual effects, moral rights, and server software). You will not remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying any Rylo Properties.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the Feedback. You hereby grant to Rylo a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, and fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, re-format, create derivative works of, and otherwise commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner, any and all Feedback, and to sublicense the foregoing rights, in connection with the operation and maintenance of Rylo Properties and/or Rylo's business.

14.2. Prior Use.

14.3. Termination of Services by Rylo. If you have materially breached any provision of the Agreement, or if Rylo is required to do so by law (e.g., where the provision of the App, the Website or the Services is, or becomes, unlawful or when required by the FCC), Rylo has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Services provided to you. You agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in Rylo's sole discretion and that Rylo shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account.

All provisions of the Agreement which by their nature should survive shall survive termination of Services, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability.
14.6. No Subsequent Registration. If your registration(s) with or ability to access Rylo Properties is discontinued by Rylo due to your violation of any portion of the Agreement or for conduct otherwise deemed inappropriate by Rylo, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access Rylo Properties through use of a different member name or otherwise. In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, Rylo reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you.
15. Dispute Resolution
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section ("Arbitration Agreement") carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Rylo and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
15.1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Services, to any products sold or distributed through the App or Website, or to any aspect of your relationship with Rylo, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court by one (1) arbitrator, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) you or Rylo may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
15.2. Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to legal@rylo.com. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys' fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS's most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS's most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS's rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS's filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Rylo will pay them for you. In addition, Rylo will reimburse all such JAMS's filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
15.3. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Rylo. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
15.4. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND RYLO HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Rylo are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 15.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
15.5. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection's limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of New York. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
15.6. Mass Arbitration Procedures. If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Rylo by the same or coordinated counsel, you agree: (a) counsel for the claimants and Rylo shall each select ten (10) claims to proceed first as bellwether cases, with statutes of limitations tolled for remaining claims; (b) following resolution of the bellwether cases, the parties shall mediate all remaining claims; (c) if claims remain unresolved, they shall proceed in batches of no more than fifty (50) at a time; and (d) multiple claimants’ counsel firms shall designate a single liaison counsel. Nothing herein prevents participation in government investigations.
15.7. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: legal@rylo.com within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Rylo username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Rylo account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
15.7. Severability. Except as provided in subsection 15.5, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
15.9. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Rylo.
15.10. Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Rylo makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing Rylo at the following address: Nagish, Inc. dba Rylo, 228 Park Avenue S, PMB 58177, New York, NY 10003, Attn: Legal.

The foregoing release does not apply to (a) any claims, demands, or any losses, damages, rights and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death or property damage caused by a Rylo Party's negligence, fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the App, Website or any Services provided hereunder, or (b) any unconscionable commercial practice by a Rylo Party.

THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE AGREEMENT.
16.8. Notice. Where Rylo requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing Rylo with your most current e-mail address.

Annex 1 — Rylo E911 Services
Rylo understands the importance of making sure a Registered User has reliable, fast access to emergency services when they need it most.
Definitions. Terms capitalized when used within this document have the following meanings:
- "911 Services" means functionality that allows Registered Users to contact emergency services by dialing the digits 911.
- "Enhanced 911 Service" or "E911" means the ability to route an emergency call to the designated entity authorized to receive such calls, which in many cases is a Public Safety Answering Point ("PSAP"), serving the Registered User's registered or user-provided address and to deliver the Registered User's telephone number and registered address information automatically to the emergency operator answering the call.
With E911, when a caller from your registered location dials the digits 911 from the Rylo Service that is associated with a phone number and a properly registered address, the phone number and address are automatically presented to the local emergency center serving the location. Emergency operators will have access to this information regardless of whether the caller is able to verbally provide such information, and whether the caller uses IP Relay or IP CTS.
Emergency Service Disclosure Applicable to IP Relay and IP CTS Calling Services Offered by Rylo. The limitations detailed below are applicable to all of Rylo's Internet-based telecommunications Relay Service ("iTRS") calling Services, including its Internet Protocol Relay Service ("IP Relay") and its Internet Protocol Captioned Telephone Service ("IP CTS"). You acknowledge and understand the potential limitations arising from the delivery of emergency services when dialing 911 and, specifically, the limitations detailed below associated with Rylo's iTRS emergency calling capabilities.
- Rylo's iTRS calling services have 911 capabilities that are similar to VoIP providers but different than those offered by traditional landline providers of local telephone services. All of Rylo's calling Services are Internet-based. As a result, the 911 calling capabilities associated with Rylo's Services are different from those offered by traditional landline providers of local telephone services and calls may be handled differently than emergency calls placed with traditional landline telephone service. You expressly consent to the limitations of the 911 calling capabilities, including without limitation, those described herein, and may consider alternate means for accessing traditional emergency services.
- 911 service may NOT work if you experience a power outage, Internet service outage or any other network disruption. Outages of your electricity and problems with your connection, including network congestion, may disrupt any Rylo calling Service and you may not be able to use it for 911 emergency calling.
- 911 service will NOT work if your internet service is disconnected or you experience an outage for any reason. If you have a Service outage due to a suspension of your account or for any other reason, you will not be able to use any Rylo calling Services for any calls, including for emergency 911 calls.
- You may not be able to reach the correct emergency service center if you have a telephone number that does not match your actual geographic location. While Rylo may leverage GPS and other geolocation information from your mobile device, if you have provided Rylo access to this information, emergency service personnel will not always be able to track your location through Rylo's system. It is therefore important to ensure that your Registered Location information remains updated. You can update your Registered Location at any time. For 911 calls to be accurately routed to the appropriate emergency call center, you must provide accurate address information. Rylo will prompt you to confirm your address when placing a 911 call. In some instances, your call may not reach the emergency personnel near your actual physical location, you may have to provide your location information to a national emergency calling center, and/or the emergency personnel may not be able to transfer your call or respond to your emergency. In an emergency, it is best to dial 911 directly from your native dialer app rather than through TRS.
- You may not be able to reach the correct emergency service center if you fail to register or update your valid service address. Failure to provide a correct physical address in the correct format, or update your Registered Location, may cause calls to be routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider. Furthermore, use of any Rylo calling Service from a location other than the location to which such Service was registered, i.e., the "Registered Location," may result in 911 calls being routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider. That call may instead be routed to the backbone provider 24/7 Emergency Call Center ("ECC"). You acknowledge that for emergency call routing involving the ECC, Rylo has no ability to assist the caller in the event that (i) the caller cannot speak or identify their address; (ii) the data connectivity between the address database and the ECC is interrupted; or (iii) Rylo cannot provide the endpoint location information.
By accepting the Terms of Use, incorporating this Disclosure, you acknowledge that you have received and understand the information regarding the limitations of E911/911 Services.
You acknowledge and agree that Rylo, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, underlying local provider(s) or other public or private agencies and any third party providers will not be liable for any injury, death or damage to persons or property, or any other claim arising directly or indirectly out of, or relating in any way to the E911 or 911 Services, including without limitation any inability to access such Services, except to the extent such claims or causes of action arose from Rylo's gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct.

RYLO AI CANNOT DYNAMICALLY RETRIEVE INFORMATION, AND OUTPUT MAY NOT ACCOUNT FOR EVENTS OR CHANGES TO UNDERLYING FACTS OCCURRING AFTER THE AI MODEL WAS TRAINED. NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM RYLO OR THROUGH RYLO AI SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE HEREIN. RYLO AI IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RYLO DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATED TO RYLO AI, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
