Phone call conversation / Phone call recordings
MPH Solutions offers you the possibility to record your phone conversations, to your entire and sole discretion. You should be aware that the laws regarding the notice and notification requirements, legality and use of such recorded conversations vary from country to country, state to state or province to province. As such, your recording of such conversation might be illegal, therefore you should make the proper verifications. By recording calls, you acknowledge and agree to be solely and entirely responsible for complying with all international, federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations in the relevant jurisdiction when using this feature, and you warrant to MPH Solutions that you are acting legally. You expressly acknowledge and agree that MPH Solutions will not and cannot be held liable for any and all claims, directly and indirectly related to your recording of phone conversations.

911/Enhanced 911 (e911) Emergency Service
Be aware of the conditions about dialing 911 from your MPH Solutions service.
MPH Solutions allows its customers to make and receive calls through the customers’ internet provider. Usually, VoIP services have some restrictions compared to landline services. By accessing and using MPH Solutions services, the customer accepts and agrees that there are differences between a traditional phone service and a VoIP phone service, including the 9-1-1 emergency service.
Due to recent pursuant FCC/CRTC rulings and regulations, all customers who are using MPH Solutions services as their primary residential or business telephone carrier must activate 911 Emergency Services on at least one of their DIDs. By the present Terms of Service, the customer agrees to comply with such regulations and understands that the Company will assume no liability in case of any breach of said regulations by the customer.
911 phone calls made on DID phone numbers that do NOT have e911 services attached to them will result in a rogue e911 fee of $275.00 USD.
The portion of the 911 service which delivers physical address information to your local PSAP is not guaranteed. It is possible that your physical location will not be provided to the PSAP dispatcher. On occasions of this kind, it will be your sole responsibility to give the dispatcher the location of your emergency to receive emergency service assistance, and the Company shall assume no liability to that extent.
Due to the quality variability of VoIP networks, MPH Solutions cannot and does not guarantee your emergency call will go through. Many conditions such as loss of power, Internet access and or several other may cause 911 to be inoperable. MPH Solutions does not have control over those types of situations and therefore can not be held liable. MPH Solutions will do everything within its power to prevent service outages within its network.
For e911 address information to be passed to your local PSAP dispatcher, you must set your outbound caller ID value to the specific DID you are purchasing e911 service for. Therefore, by agreeing to these Terms of Service, the customer is deemed to have set the outbound Caller ID number to the DID he has enabled e911 services for when making an outbound 911 emergency call.
By using MPH Solutions’ enhanced 911 service, the customer agrees that MPH Solutions, its contractors, executives, members, customers, agents, employees, carriers, 911 providers, and anyone else associated with MPH Solutions is not held liable for emergency calls failing, even if it is determined that it is the fault of MPH Solutions or its associates, and releases the Company from any and all liability. Customer further agrees that they will notify their customers, contractors, agents, employees, associates, shareholders, partners, and anyone who may use the MPH Solutions 911 service of our limitations and make customers agree to not hold MPH Solutions or customer liable.
Robocall Mitigation
MPH Solutions commits to respond to all traceback requests from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), law enforcement, and the industry traceback consortium. We will cooperate with such entities in investigating and stopping any illegal robocallers from using our services to originate calls. All voice traffic that originates with MPH SIP is subject to this robocall mitigation program.
All users of MPH Solutions / MPH SIP trunking and voice services must comply with applicable laws prohibiting illegal robocalling. Any such use of our services is a breach of contract and subject to immediate termination.
MPH Solutions continuously monitors calling patterns in and out of our network to identify fraudulent traffic, including robocalling, traffic pumping, and international toll fraud. MPH Solutions will block services to a customer if it determines that the customer is using the services for any illegal activities, including robocalling. Such customer’s agreement will be terminated if the violation is determined to be intentional.
Changes to Terms of Service
MPH Solutions reserves the right to make changes to its site, services, policies and these Terms of Service at any time.
