Fair Use. KELTIC FISH’s business service plans and features are for normal, reasonable business use and consistent with the types and levels of usage by typical customers on the same business calling plan. “Typical” refers to the calling patterns of at least 95% of KELTIC FISH’s business customers on the same business calling plan. Certain calling and messaging plans, including unlimited calling and messaging plans, are designed for normal commercial use and are not intended to represent typical usage by unique organizations such as call centers, resellers, fax messaging services, telemarketing firms, or for use without live dialog, such as transcription services, intercom or monitoring services.

Customer agrees to use unlimited voice plans for normal voice and/or text message related communications with aggregated usage that falls within the range of similarly situated business customers. Customer will not employ methods or use devices to take advantage of unlimited plans by using the Services excessively or for means not intended by KELTIC FISH. KELTIC FISH may terminate service immediately if it determines, in its sole discretion, Customer is abusing an unlimited minute plan. KELTIC FISH deems usage that substantially exceeds the average volume of its other unlimited usage plan customers as abusive. Customer agrees that KELTIC FISH has the right to terminate Customer’s service and/or charge Customer additional fees if Customer’s usage is considered abusive in the sole discretion of KELTIC FISH.

15.5 Excessive Usage.

If, in KELTIC FISH’s sole discretion, KELTIC FISH affords Customer the opportunity to correct Customer’s abnormal usage patterns and Customer fail to immediately conform to normal use, KELTIC FISH may exercise its right to transfer Customer’s service to a more appropriate plan, charge applicable rates for that plan, implement other limitations or suspend or terminate Customer’s service with or without notice.

Local Number Portability

31.1 Number Transfer on Service Activation. In the event, Customer is not utilizing a new phone number or numbers for the Services, but rather is transferring existing phone number(s) which currently is subscribed to a carrier other than KELTIC FISH to KELTIC FISH, the terms and conditions of this Section shall apply:

Customer hereby authorizes KELTIC FISH to notify Customer’s current local telephone company or other service providers of its decision to switch local, local toll, and long-distance services to KELTIC FISH and represents that Customer is authorized to take this action.

Customer acknowledges that service providers require verification of identity, as well as authorization and other reasonable information in order to transfer (or “port”) any numbers to KELTIC FISH. The customer must correctly complete a letter of authorization, and provide KELTIC FISH with a copy of the Customer’s most recent bill from such service provider. Provide KELTIC FISH with any other information required by such service provider to port the Customer’s number to KELTIC FISH. FAILURE TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION REQUESTED BY KELTIC FISH OR THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER WILL DELAY THE PORTING OF THE NUMBER TO KELTIC FISH. KELTIC FISH SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAY IN THE PORT OF CUSTOMER’S NUMBER AND WILL NOT PROVIDE CREDIT FOR ANY SUCH DELAYS.

Customer agrees and acknowledges that if the Services are set up prior to the date that the number transfer becomes effective (“Port Effective Date”). Customers may only be able to make outgoing calls using the Services. In such event, Customer should keep another phone connected to the existing phone number to receive incoming calls until the Port Effective Date, after which Customer will be able to both make and receive calls using the Service. Customer agrees and acknowledges that if the Activation Date has not occurred as of the Port Effective Date, its existing phone service for the number being transferred may be disconnected and Customer may have no service for that number. Therefore, to avoid an interruption in Customer’s phone service, Services must be activated prior to the Port Effective Date. An estimate of the Port Effective Date will be sent to Customer via e-mail by KELTIC FISH.

31.2 Number Transfer on Service Termination. After the Activation Date, KELTIC FISH or its providers may receive requests from other telephone providers (“Requesting Party”) acting as agents on Customer’s behalf to port a telephone number currently assigned to Customer to a third-party provider (“Port-Out”). KELTIC FISH will support all such requests and will cooperate with the Requesting Party to perform any Port-Out in accordance with the Requesting Party’s reasonable directions and KELTIC FISH’s or its vendors’ standard operating procedures. Until the effective date of Customer’s proper termination (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), Customer will: (a) remain a KELTIC FISH customer. (b) be responsible for all charges and fees associated with Customer’s KELTIC FISH Service. Customer will not receive any refund or partial refund or any credits for any charges already billed to Customer’s account. KELTIC FISH assumes no liability for costs associated with any numbers that cannot be ported or that Customer chooses not to port. Customer acknowledges that in the event of any account termination or cancellation, all telephone numbers associated with Customer’s account may be released. Similarly, the cancellation of individual services that have associated telephone numbers will result in the release of such numbers. Customer acknowledges that it is Customer’s responsibility to work with a third-party provider to port out those numbers prior to Customer’s termination or cancellation of Customer’s account or termination of Services.

31.3 Ported Telephone Numbers Upon Cancellation.

31.3.1 Cancellation. If Customer requests that a new service provider port a number from KELTIC FISH, then Customer is required to inform KELTIC FISH of Customer’s intent to terminate the specific affected Services on Customer’s account or KELTIC FISH will continue to bill for such Services. Customer will continue to be responsible for all the charges and fees associated with the remaining Services on Customer’s KELTIC FISH account. Customer will not receive any refund or partial refund or any credits for any charges already billed to Customer’s account.

31.3.2 Consent & Electronic Submission. Customer may withdraw Customer’s consent to submit Customer’s porting request electronically by contacting KELTIC FISH Customer Care prior to Our submitting the porting request to the carrier.

31.3.3 Facsimile Service. Numbers assigned by KELTIC FISH for KELTIC FISH’s facsimile service cannot be ported to a new service provider without the assistance and cooperation of KELTIC FISH’s underlying partner.

For the most part, simply exercising good judgment and common sense while using the Service should enable Users to remain within the purview of acceptable conduct as further described in these Policies. The categories listed below are intended merely to serve as guidelines regarding appropriate and inappropriate conduct.

1. As used in this Acceptable Use Policy, the terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:
   1. Service. Includes KELTIC FISH’s networks (also referred to as, “Network”), systems, services, and products that utilize, or are utilized in connection with, KELTIC FISH’s networks, machinery, intellectual property, or other instrumentality owned by KELTIC FISH.

While it is not KELTIC FISH’s intent to control or monitor the Customer’s online experience or content of online communications, KELTIC FISH may edit or remove content that is deemed to be in violation of the Policies or that it otherwise deems harmful or offensive. The Policies apply to all aspects of the Service, including e-mail, USENET postings, chatting, and browsing.
   1. The customer is entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its passwords, account information, and security of its network.
   2. Furthermore, the Customer agrees to immediately notify KELTIC FISH of any unauthorized use or breach of security to the Customer’s account.

1. Rights of KELTIC FISH. If Users engage in conduct while using the Service that is in violation of the Policies or is otherwise illegal or improper, KELTIC FISH reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate the Service or the User’s access to the Service. Where appropriate, KELTIC FISH will attempt to notify the User of any activity in violation of the Policies and request that the User ceases such activity. However, in cases where the viability of the Service is threatened or cases involving UCE/SPAM, mail relaying, alteration of source IP address information, denial of service attacks, harassment or copyright infringement, nuisance, or any other illegal activity, KELTIC FISH reserves the right to suspend the Service or the User’s access to the Service without prior notification.

In addition, KELTIC FISH may take any appropriate action, legal or otherwise, against the User for violations of the Policies or federal or state law. Furthermore, KELTIC FISH makes no promise, nor alleges any obligation, to monitor or police activity occurring via the Service.

3. Users of the Network are responsible for configuring their own systems to provide the maximum possible accountability. For example, Users should ensure that there are clear “path” lines in news headers so that the originator of a post may be identified. Users should also configure their Mail Transport Agents (“MTA”) to authenticate (by look-up on the name or similar procedures) any system that connects to perform a mail exchange, and should generally present header data as clearly as possible. Users should maintain logs of dynamically assigned IP addresses.
4. Unauthorized Access/Interference. Users may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to, or attempt to interfere with or compromise the normal functioning, operation, or security of any network, system, computing facility, equipment, data, or information.

Illegal Activity. Users agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. Use of the Service for transmission, distribution, retrieval, or storage of any information, data, or other material in violation of any applicable law or regulation (including, where applicable any tariff or treaty) is prohibited. This includes, without limitation, the use or transmission of any data or material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent, or other intellectual property right without proper authorization, and the transmission of any material that constitutes an illegal threat violates export control laws or is obscene, defamatory, or otherwise unlawful.

   4. Attempting to circumvent or alter the processes or procedures to measure time, bandwidth utilization, or other methods to document the use of KELTIC FISH’s services.

 

Privacy. Because the Internet is an inherently open and insecure means of communication, any data or information a User transmits over the Internet may be susceptible to interception and alteration. KELTIC FISH makes no guarantee regarding, and assumes no liability for, the security and integrity of any data or information a User transmits via the Service or over the Internet, including any data or information transmitted via any server designated as “secure.”

Additional Terms and Conditions. The use of the Network by Customer is subject to the terms and conditions of any agreements entered into by such Customer with KELTIC FISH. This Acceptable Use Policy is incorporated into such agreements by reference.

 

1. Limitation of Liability. KELTIC FISH SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY AND ALL: INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, GENERAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR LOSS OF USE, EVEN IF YOU ARE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, TO YOU FOR A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR AN ORDER FORM OR WRITTEN POLICY OF KELTIC FISH. IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OR FAILURE OF ANY OBLIGATION OF KELTIC FISH, YOUR DAMAGES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICE FOR THE PRECEDING 3 MONTHS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT THE SERVICE ON AN “AS-IS” NON-WARRANTABLE BASIS. KELTIC FISH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE REGARDING THE PROVIDING OF GOODS AND SERVICES TO YOU.

Risk of Loss. At all times, the risk of any loss, damage, or destruction of any of the Customer's assets, equipment, or property provided or maintained by KELTIC FISH, from fire, water damage, theft or other casualties will be born by the Customer at all times. The customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring the said property and filing insurance claims for losses associated therewith. If KELTIC FISH is aware of loss or casualty to the Customer’s property, KELTIC FISH will immediately notify the buyer stating the extent of loss or damage incurred and the cause, if known.

Hold Harmless. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold KELTIC FISH harmless, as well as its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, consultants, suppliers, and any third-party Web site provider, from and against all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, losses, expenses, damages, judgments, and costs, including attorneys’ fees, resulting from Customer’s violation of this Policy, misuse or abuse of the Service, or infringement thereof by Customer or Users of Customer’s account.

Modifications. KELTIC FISH reserves the right to modify this Acceptable Use Policy at any time without prior notice. Wherever possible, KELTIC FISH will attempt to notify the Customer of any such modifications by e-mail.

Acknowledgment. By using the Service, Customer acknowledges that Customer and Customer’s users that have gained access to the Service through Customer’s account (collectively “Users”) have read, understood, and agreed to abide by these Policies.

Waiver. The waiver or breach of any provision of the Policies or any agreement of KELTIC FISH shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent or similar breach, and the balance of the Policies and agreements shall remain enforceable and in full effect.

Prohibition on Resale and Restrictions on Unlimited Call Plans. If You have subscribed to KELTIC FISH’s “VoIP” Service, the Service and Equipment are provided to You as a business user.  This means that You are not to resell or transfer the Service or Equipment to any other person for any purpose, without express written permission from KELTIC FISH in advance.  You agree that KELTIC FISH’s “Unlimited” Business Plans do not confer the right to use the service for auto-dialing, continuous or extensive call forwarding, inbound or outbound call centers, or telemarketing (including without limitation charitable or political solicitation or polling), fax broadcasting or fax blasting.  For the purposes of determining if Your Service is being used for any of the aforementioned activities, KELTIC FISH may, at its sole discretion, employ a cap of 3,500 pooled minutes for each endpoint (VoIP phone).

Use of Phone Service and Equipment by Customers Outside of the United States. KELTIC FISH does not offer local phone service or 911 emergency services outside the United States. If You use the Equipment in a country other than the United States, You do so at Your sole risk, including the risk that such activity violates local laws and that 911 emergency services are unavailable. You are liable for any and all charges, fees, fines, taxes, regulatory charges, or penalties resulting from the use of the Service and/or Equipment outside the United States by Yourself or any person making use of the Service or Equipment provided to You and agree to indemnify and hold harmless KELTIC FISH against any and all liability for any such use. Should the removal from the United States of the Equipment violate any export control law or regulation, You will be solely liable for such violation and agree to indemnify and hold harmless KELTIC FISH against any and all liability for such violation. KELTIC FISH does not guarantee that the Service or Equipment will operate overseas.

Emergency 911 Calling (E911).

You acknowledge and understand that KELTIC FISH liability is limited for any Service outage and/or inability to dial 911 from Your line or to access emergency service personnel, as set forth in this document. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless KELTIC FISH, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and agents, and any other service provider who furnishes services to You in connection with this Agreement or the Service, from any and all claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees) by, or on behalf of, You or any third party or user of Your Service relating to the absence, failure or outage of the Service, including 911 dialing and/or inability of You or any third person or party or user of Your Service to be able to dial 911 or to access emergency service personnel.

You acknowledge that any extensions located outside of the registered physical address will initiate a 911 call to the registered physical address. Failure to provide the current and correct physical address and location of Your certified Equipment will result in any 911 communications You may make being routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider. This must be the actual physical street address where You are located, not a post office box, mail drop, or similar address. Fees involved in emergency service to improper address are solely the responsibility of You.

You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing does not function if You change Your phone number or (for such newly added or ported numbers) if You add or port new numbers to Your account, unless and until You have successfully registered the new location with KELTIC FISH by means of a signed letter, and until such later date that such activation has been confirmed to You through a confirming email. Although You may have activated 911 dialing with Your former KELTIC FISH phone number, You must separately register for 911 dialing for any changed or newly added or ported number.

You acknowledge and understand that 911 dialing does not function properly or at all if You move or otherwise change the physical location of Your certified Equipment to a different street address, unless and until You have successfully registered the new location with KELTIC FISH by means of a signed letter, and until such later date that such activation has been confirmed. 911 dialing must be re-activated although You may have activated 911 dialing using Your former address, and You must separately activate 911 dialing for any new physical address. Failure to provide the current and correct physical address and location of Your certified Equipment will result in any 911 dialing You may make being routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider.

Due to the technical constraints on the manner in which it is possible to provide the 911 dialing feature for KELTIC FISH Service at this time, You acknowledge and understand that there is a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 communication made utilizing Your certified Equipment as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public telephone networks. KELTIC FISH or its officers or employees, may not be held liable for any claim, damage, or loss, and You hereby waive any and all such claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to 911 dialing unless it is proven that the act or omission proximately causing the claim, damage, or loss constitutes gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct on the part of KELTIC FISH.

You acknowledge that KELTIC FISH does not offer primary line or lifeline services. You should always have an alternative means of accessing traditional E911 services.

Privacy Policy

Our commitment to privacy

Our Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment to combine the highest-quality products and services with the highest level of integrity in dealing with our clients and partners. The Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site and our products and services. This statement will be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices, and our customers’ needs.

What information do we collect?

Credit card information

If you choose to purchase products or services from us or our partners, you may need to give personal information and authorization to obtain information from various credit services. For example, you may need to provide the following information:

1. • Name
   • Mailing address
   • Email address
   • Credit card number
   • Home and business phone number
   • Other personal information (i.e. mother’s maiden name)

Notice of new services and changes

Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services, and special offers we think you will find valuable. As our valued client, you may notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by emailing: service@KelticFish.com.

How do we secure information transmissions?

When you send the confidential personal credit card information to us on our Web site, secure server software that we have licensed encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our Web site.

Other emails that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information such as Social Security, Tax Identification Numbers, or account numbers to us through an unsecured email.

How do we protect your information?

1. Information security

We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration, or destruction.

1. Evaluation of information protection practices

Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance with corporate policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality, and quality of our information.

1. Employee access, training, and expectations

Our corporate values, ethical standards, policies, and practices are committed to the protection of customer information. In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential information and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes, and transactions.

What about legally compelled disclosure of information?

We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights.

Your consent

By using our services you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we may disclose it.

Indirect End User Phone Contact Information (Personal Identifiable Information)

Keltic Fish acts as a data processor with regard to indirect end-user personal identifiable information and our Clients act as the data controller of such data. In the course of Keltic Fish’ processing and protection of such data, all users will be in conformity with the data controller’s instructions.

Specifically, only when enabled via system permission on Keltic Fish Mobile Android and Keltic Fish Mobile iOS, Keltic Fish shows personal contacts within the respective application. When the user sends an SMS message to one of his/her phone contacts, or when the user initiates a call to one of his/her phone contacts, the phone number is sent securely through Keltic Fish’s API. Keltic Fish does not store this number with any other PII, and it cannot be directly or indirectly attributed to any person or persons; Keltic Fish stores only the phone number and pertinent metadata so as to be compliant with all applicable state and federal laws, and Keltic Fish does not share this data with any advertisers or third parties under any circumstances. A user can revoke phone contact access on his/her mobile device at any time, and his/her app experience is not hindered or interrupted.

Keltic Fish Mobile Android and iOS also uses Gravatar, only when enabled via Settings and UIConfigs, which is a service that provides avatar images linked to the MD5 hash of the user’s email address. This means that, only when Gravatar use is enabled, we hash each contact’s email address and send it to Gravatar to try and retrieve an avatar image. MD5 hashes cannot be directly or indirectly attributed to any person or persons, and we only send the MD5 hash to Gravatar, never the email address in plain text. As with phone contacts, a user can revoke Gravatar access at any time in Settings or via UIConfig, and his/her app experience is not hindered or interrupted.
