Reasonable Use Policy

Voice Reasonable Use Policy

SyncWave has prepared this Reasonable Use Policy (“Policy”) as a guide for its customers to understand the intended and permissible uses of our service, and to prevent exploitation, fraud, and abuse of its unlimited calling plans and features. And is applicable to all our services.

Normal, Reasonable Residential Use

SyncWave’s service is a single (and not extended or multi-) family residential voice service. It is engineered to process and deliver traffic profiles and utilization levels of our typical residential customers’ calling patterns (hereafter also referred to as “normal” residential use). “Unlimited” refers to that type and level of usage. “Typical” refers to the calling patterns of at least 95% of our customers on a particular calling plan. Normal residential traffic profiles and utilization do not include business line or trunk class of service levels that may arise from business, multiple or extended family, community or fraudulent use. “Unlimited” does not refer to those types and levels of usage. Telephone utilization that is indicative of, or arising from, impermissible business, multiple family, community or fraudulent use, as outlined herein, on a residential class of service line may create network congestion that will manifest itself in increased busy signals for themselves and others. SyncWave’s residential unlimited service plans and features are only for single (and not extended or multi-) family residential (or personal, non-commercial) or co-branded use only. Co-branded use is defined as SyncWave service that is provided by a third party partner under that third party partner’s marketing brand, with or without reference to SyncWave. This means that only the account holder, residential family members, and those Extensions registered with SyncWave by the account holder may use SyncWave’s residential unlimited service plans. Residential family members include your immediate family who reside in your personal residence – e.g., spouse, domestic partner, parents and/or children. If your residential service plan allows you to extend the service or feature(s) to another residential or mobile number, all use under that service plan is aggregated and must conform to single (and not extended or multi-) family residential (or personal, non-commercial) or cobranded use.

Normal, Reasonable Mobile and Business Use

SyncWave’s mobile unlimited service plans and features are for normal personal, noncommercial use and are device specific. SyncWave’s unlimited small and home business service plans and features are for normal small or home business use. Normal, reasonable use on SyncWave’s unlimited mobile and business plans must be in accordance with this Reasonable Use Policy, our Terms of Service and consistent with the types and levels of usage by typical customers on the same mobile or small or home business calling plan. Unauthorized or excessive use beyond that normally experienced by typical mobile, small or home business customers may create network congestion that will manifest itself in increased busy signals for themselves and others, and may result in service termination.

Impermissible Use(s)

SyncWave evaluates customer usage in comparison to typical levels of permissible usage engaged in by legitimate customers (residential use under residential service plans, small business use under small business service plans, or affiliate use under co-branded service offers or plans). Each of the following is not permissible under SyncWave’s residential unlimited plans and considered outside of normal single (and not extended or multi-) family residential (or personal, non-commercial) or co-branded use by or for others who do not live with you, or, with respect to SyncWave Extensions plans, others who are not registered SyncWave Extensions users, operating a business, even if operating from the residence, operating any other enterprise, including not-for-profit or governmental, operating a call center, resale to others, auto-dialing or fax/voice blasts, telemarketing, without live dialog, including use as a monitor, intercom or for transcription purposes.

Based on such a combination, SyncWave may determine that abnormal, unreasonable or impermissible usage is occurring when compared to typical customers on the same calling plan, and may take appropriate steps described below to enforce this Policy and the Terms of Service (“SyncWave’s Rights”). SyncWave may also determine that abnormal, unreasonable or impermissible usage is occurring, and may take appropriate steps described below even if the number of minutes used is not excessive, when a customer’s calling patterns during more than one month reflect excessive: unique numbers called; call lengths; frequency of call forwarding/transferring; conference calling; short duration calls; number of calls made during a month; number of calls made to a conference calling service during a month; calls made during business hours; number of calls terminated and re-initiated consecutively, which, in the aggregate, result in excessive call lengths during a specific time frame; or other calling patterns indicative of an attempt to evade enforcement of this Reasonable Use Policy.
