3.8 Support. Company will provide Customer with technical consultation support for the term of the Service. Customer may access technical support by submitting a ticket through the Company’s customer support portal at https://boom.help.
3.9 Customer Proprietary Network Information. In the normal course of providing services to its users and customers, Company collects and maintains certain customer proprietary network information ("CPNI") typical to the US communications industry. CPNI includes the types of telecommunications and interconnected VoIP services Customer currently purchases or subscribes to, how Customer uses those services (for example, Customer’s calling records), and billing information related to those services. Customer’s Company telephone number, name, and address do not constitute CPNI. Company does not sell, trade, or otherwise share Customer’s CPNI with anyone outside of Company and those parties authorized to represent Company to offer Company’s services or to perform functions on Company’s behalf related to Company’s services, except as the law may require or Customer may authorize. US federal law generally permits Company to use CPNI in its provision of the telecommunications and interconnected VoIP services Customer purchases or subscribes to, including billing and collections for those services. Company may also use or disclose Customer CPNI for legal or regulatory reasons such as to respond to a court order, to investigate fraud, to protect Company’s rights or property, to protect against the unlawful use of Company services, or to protect other users. Further detailed information regarding Company’s uses of CPNI is set forth in the Privacy Policy at https://boomlogic.com/privacy-terms/.
Customer may elect to prohibit Company’s use of Customer’s CPNI to market services other than services of the same type that Customer already purchases from Company by providing Company with Customer’s "opt-out" notice within thirty (30) calendar days of Customer’s Service commencement via email at legal@theboomcoinc.com. If Customer fails to do so within such timeframe, Customer will be deemed to have given Company consent to use Customer’s CPNI to market services other than services of the same type that Customer already purchases from Company. Restricting Company’s use of Customer CPNI will not affect Company’s provision of any service, nor will it necessarily eliminate all types of Company marketing.

6.3 Suspension for Non-Payment. If Customer fails to pay for a subscription with either a credit card or available account balance within fifteen (15) days of the due date, Company may thereafter, in its sole and absolute discretion, suspend Services to Customer without prior notice. Customer will be able to restore Service if, within thirty (30) days following suspension, Customer pays all amounts due for Service plus a "recovery fee," the amount of which shall be posted on Company’s website from time to time. If, by the end of such 30-day period, Customer fails to pay all amounts then due plus the recovery fee in full, Company may terminate Service to the Customer upon written notice, and Company may thereafter release Customer’s telephone number(s) for reassignment. Customer will not be able to recover its telephone number(s) thereafter.
6.4 Billing Disputes. Except for those occurrences addressed in Section 7, Customer must dispute any charges for the Services in writing within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence that forms the basis for the dispute; otherwise Customer waives any dispute or further recourse with respect to the applicable charges.

Company may charge Customer any fees, assessments, surcharges or other amounts which may be assessed on the Company or on or in connection with the Services by any regulatory body or in connection with any regulatory program, including without limitation any applicable federal or state Universal Service Fund contributions. Company may also charge a monthly regulatory recovery fee to offset costs it incurs in complying with obligations imposed by, and inquiries made by, federal, state, and municipal regulatory bodies/governments and related legal and billing expenses. This fee is not a tax or charge required or assessed by any government. If assessed by Company, the regulatory recovery fee will apply to every directly dialable telephone number (in certain cases referred to as DID-phone numbers) assigned to Customer, including toll free and virtual numbers.
7. SERVICE LEVELS AND SERVICE AVAILABILITY
7.1 Service Level. Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Service meets a Service Level Objective ("SLO") of 99.5% uptime as stated in Section 7.2, unless such failure is caused by events beyond Company’s control, such as those enumerated in Section 7.3 or due to scheduled maintenance. Company makes no representation or warranty that the Service will be available at all times and temporary disruptions in Service shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON A "BEST EFFORTS" BASIS, "AS IS," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS." NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELIEF SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.2 SHALL BE CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THE FAILURE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE.
7.2 Service Availability and Credits. The Company SLO stated in terms of Service Availability shall be deemed to be in an outage condition if Customer is unable to receive and initiate VoIP communications traffic more than 0.5% of the time measured cumulatively on a calendar month basis ("Outage"). Customer is entitled to credit equal to the pro rata amount of Customer’s monthly fee per hour of any Outage ("Outage Credit") in the event of an SLO Outage condition, not to exceed Customer’s monthly recurring charges for the month in which the SLO Outage occurs. An Outage shall be deemed to commence upon Company’s verification of the trouble as stated in the trouble ticket submitted by Customer; this verification will be conducted by Company’s network operator. An Outage shall be deemed to terminate upon the closing of the same trouble ticket (or the termination of the downtime, if sooner), less any time Company is awaiting additional information or premise testing from Customer. The duration of the Outage period and eligibility for Outage Credits will be determined at the sole discretion of Company, based upon Company’s internal records. Customer shall have the right to request Outage Credit(s) for a period of thirty (30) days after the date of the reported occurrence. Customer shall have the right to contest any calculations of credit(s) for a period of thirty (30) days after the application of such credit(s) to Customer’s account. The Outage Credits shall be Company’s sole liability and Customer’s sole remedy in the event of any Outage period or interruption of Service.
7.3 No Outage Credits. There shall be no Outage Credits for Outages: (i) Caused directly or indirectly by the acts or omissions of Customer; (ii) Caused by the failure of equipment or systems provided by Customer or any third party (not under the direction or control of Company); (iii) Caused by a Force Majeure event as defined in Section 22.3; (iv) Occurring with respect to a request or an order from Customer for a change in the Service; or (v) Occurring while Customer is in breach of the Agreement.
7.4 Maintenance and Modifications to Service. Company may at any time and without liability modify, expand, improve, maintain, or repair the Service or Company facilities even if such activity might result in temporary suspension(s) of the operation of the Service. Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the Service to Customer and shall use its best efforts to give Customer commercially reasonable notice of a maintenance period prior to the disruption by telephone (real-time or voicemail), facsimile, or e-mail. Credits will not be issued with respect to such Service interruptions if Company has used commercially reasonable efforts to so notify Customer in accordance with this paragraph.

Customer or a third-party provider acting as agent on behalf of Customer ("Requesting Party") may request that Company port a number assigned to Customer by Company to a third party provider ("Port-Out").

Customer will protect such Confidential Information received from Company with no less care than the care it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event, with no less than a reasonable degree of care.
