Basic Services Agreement

This VINCE Basic Services Agreement (this "Agreement") sets forth the terms agreed to by and between Telava Wireless. ("Telava"), a Wyoming corporation with offices at 353 Sacramento Street, Suite 1500, San Francisco, CA 94111 and Customer.

Whereas, Telava owns and operates a communications network and is in the business of providing communications services to other entities; and

Whereas, Customer desires to purchase from Telava certain services available through the Telava network;

Whereas, Telava is willing to sell such services to Customer according to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Services”);

Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the two parties agree as follows:

Payments

1. TERM - The term of this Agreement ("Term") begins on the Effective Date of the signed CSOF (Customer Sales Order Form) and continues for the length identified in CSOF, unless terminated earlier as provided in Section 9 of this Agreement. At the end of the current Term, the Term is automatically renewed for an additional one year period unless Customer provides Telava with written notification of intention to cancel the service within sixty (60) days prior to the end of the current Term. Customer agrees to pay for Services for the duration of the Term. Expiration of the Term does not alleviate Customer of responsibility for paying all unpaid, accrued charges due hereunder. If Customer chooses to cancel the Service or any portion of the Service prior to the end of the current Term, disconnection fees may apply as set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement.

2. 911 & SERVICE LIMITATIONS - The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) requires that Telava provide E911 Service to all customers who use Telava services within the United States.

2.1. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TELAVA'S EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES DO NOT SUPPORT 911 EMERGENCY DIALING OR OTHER EMERGENCY FUNCTIONS IN THE SAME WAY THAT TRADITIONAL LAND LINE 911 SERVICES WORK. THE DIFFERENCES ARE DETAILED IN THIS SECTION 2 AND CUSTOMER HEREBY AGREES TO NOTIFY ANY POTENTIAL USER OF THE SERVICES, WHO MAY PLACE CALLS USING CUSTOMER'S SERVICES, OF THE 911 LIMITATIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN. TELAVA WILL PROVIDE CUSTOMER WITH WARNING LABELS REGARDING THE LIMITATIONS OR UNAVAILABILITY OF 911 EMERGENCY DIALING. CUSTOMER AGREES TO PLACE A LABEL ON AND/OR NEAR EACH TELEPHONE OR OTHER CUSTOMER PREMISE EQUIPMENT ON WHICH THE SERVICES MAY BE UTILIZED. IF ADDITIONAL LABELS ARE REQUIRED, CUSTOMER MAY REQUEST THEM FROM TELAVA. TELAVA WILL PROVIDE CUSTOMER WITH ADVISORY NOTICES REGARDING 911 EMERGENCY DIALING AND REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGMENTS FROM CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER AGREES TO RESPOND AND AFFIRMATIVELY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TELAVA HAS ADVISED CUSTOMER OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH TELAVA E911 SERVICE MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN COMPARISON TO TRADITIONAL 911 EMERGENCY DIALING. TELAVA ADVISES CUSTOMER TO MAINTAIN AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF ACCESSING TRADITIONAL 911 SERVICES.

2.2. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SERVICES WILL NOT FUNCTION IN THE ABSENCE OF ELECTRICAL POWER.

2.3. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SERVICES WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IF THERE IS AN INTERRUPTION OR A LACK OF BANDWIDTH OF CUSTOMER'S BROADBAND OR HIGH-SPEED INTERNET ACCESS SERVICE.

2.4. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SERVICES ARE NOT SET UP TO FUNCTION WITH OUTDIALING SYSTEMS INCLUDING HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS, MEDICAL MONITORING EQUIPMENT, TTY EQUIPMENT, AND ENTERTAINMENT OR SATELLITE TELEVISION SYSTEMS. CUSTOMER HEREBY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS AGAINST TELAVA FOR INTERRUPTION OR DISRUPTION OF SUCH SYSTEMS BY THE SERVICES.

2.5. TELAVA E911 SERVICE IS A MANDATORY COMPONENT OF ALL INBOUND/OUTBOUND FAX AND VOICE SERVICE PLANS. E911 SERVICE IS NOT OFFERED ON VIRTUAL NUMBERS, TOLL FREE NUMBERS OR SIMILAR SERVICE ACCESSORIES OR ADD-ON PLANS. E911 SERVICE IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN SELECTED AREAS. CUSTOMERS WHO SUBSCRIBE TO TELAVA E911 SERVICE WILL BE REQUIRED TO REGISTER THE PHYSICAL LOCATION OF THEIR EQUIPMENT (ATA or IP PHONE) WITH TELAVA, EITHER ON THE VINCE USER PORTAL, INITIAL ORDER FORMS OR BY CALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND AGREE TO UPDATE THE LOCATION WHENEVER THE PHYSICAL LOCATION OF SERVICE CHANGES. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TELAVA’S ONLY MECHANISM FOR ROUTING 911 CALLS TO THE CORRECT EMERGENCY CALL TAKER IS THE PHYSICAL LOCATION CURRENTLY REGISTERED FOR THE ACCOUNT. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT ANY ENHANCED LOCATION INFORMATION PASSED TO AN EMERGENCY OPERATOR BY TELAVA WILL BE BASED UPON THE PHYSICAL LOCATION PROVIDED TO TELAVA BY CUSTOMER. IN THE EVENT THAT THE PHYSICAL LOCATION HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED OR IS NOT COMPLETE, TELAVA MAY ATTEMPT TO ROUTE A 911 CALL BASED UPON THE BILL-TO OR SHIP-TO ADDRESSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT OR INITIAL ORDER.

2.6. CUSTOMER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TELAVA E911 SERVICE HAS CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS THAT DISTINGUISH IT FROM TRADITIONAL, LEGACY, CIRCUIT-SWITCHED 911 SERVICE. THESE CHARACTERISTICS MAY MAKE TELAVA’S E911 SERVICES UNSUITABLE FOR SOME CUSTOMERS. BECAUSE EACH CUSTOMER’S CIRCUMSTANCES MAY VARY WIDELY, CUSTOMERS SHOULD CAREFULLY EVALUATE THEIR OWN CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN DECIDING WHETHER TO RELY SOLELY UPON TELAVA E911 SERVICE. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE THE TECHNOLOGY OR COMBINATION OF TECHNOLOGIES BEST SUITED TO MEET CUSTOMER'S EMERGENCY CALLING NEEDS, AND TO MAKE THE NECESSARY PROVISIONS FOR ACCESS TO EMERGENCY CALLING SERVICES (SUCH AS MAINTAINING A CONVENTIONAL LANDLINE PHONE OR WIRELESS PHONE AS A BACKUP MEANS OF COMPLETING EMERGENCY CALLS). THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS DISTINGUISH TELAVA E911 SERVICE FROM TRADITIONAL, LEGACY, CIRCUIT-SWITCHED 911 SERVICE
** TELAVA E911 SERVICE WILL NOT FUNCTION IF CUSTOMER'S ATA or IP PHONE FAILS OR IS NOT CONFIGURED CORRECTLY OR IF CUSTOMER'S TELAVA SERVICE IS NOT FUNCTIONING FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ELECTRICAL POWER OUTAGE, BROADBAND SERVICE OUTAGE, OR SUSPENSION OR DISCONNECTION OF SERVICE BECAUSE OF BILLING OR OTHER ISSUES. IF THERE IS A POWER OUTAGE, CUSTOMER MAY BE REQUIRED TO RESET OR RECONFIGURE THE EQUIPMENT BEFORE BEING ABLE TO USE THE TELAVA SERVICE, INCLUDING FOR E911 PURPOSES.

** AFTER INITIAL ACTIVATION OF THE E911 SERVICE, AND FOLLOWING ANY CHANGE OF AND UPDATE TO CUSTOMER’S PHYSICAL LOCATION, THERE MAY BE SOME DELAY BEFORE THE AUTOMATIC NUMBER AND LOCATION INFORMATION IS PASSED TO THE LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE OPERATOR. THIS INFORMATION IS TYPICALLY POPULATED INTO TELAVA’S NOMADIC E911 DATABASES PRIOR TO SERVICE ACTIVATION, BUT NO GUARANTEE CAN BE MADE THAT THE AUTOMATIC NUMBER AND LOCATION INFORMATION WILL BE ACTIVATED WITHIN THIS SCHEDULE.

** AFTER INITIAL ACTIVATION OF THE E911 SERVICE, AND FOLLOWING ANY CHANGE OF AND UPDATE TO CUSTOMER’S PHYSICAL LOCATION, THERE MAY BE SOME DELAY BEFORE THE AUTOMATIC NUMBER AND LOCATION INFORMATION IS PASSED TO THE LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE OPERATOR. THIS INFORMATION IS TYPICALLY POPULATED INTO TELAVA’S NOMADIC E911 DATABASES PRIOR TO SERVICE ACTIVATION, BUT NO GUARANTEE CAN BE MADE THAT THE AUTOMATIC NUMBER AND LOCATION INFORMATION WILL BE ACTIVATED WITHIN THIS SCHEDULE.

** THE LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE OPERATOR RECEIVING TELAVA E911 EMERGENCY SERVICE CALLS MAY NOT HAVE A SYSTEM CONFIGURED FOR E911 SERVICES OR BE ABLE TO CAPTURE AND/OR RETAIN AUTOMATIC NUMBER OR LOCATION INFORMATION. THIS MEANS THAT THE OPERATOR MAY NOT KNOW THE PHONE NUMBER OR PHYSICAL LOCATION OF THE PERSON WHO IS MAKING THE TELAVA E911 CALL. DUE TO TECHNICAL FACTORS IN NETWORK DESIGN, AND IN THE EVENT OF NETWORK CONGESTION ON THE TELAVA NETWORK, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A TELAVA E911 CALL WILL PRODUCE A BUSY SIGNAL OR WILL EXPERIENCE UNEXPECTED ANSWERING WAIT TIMES AND/OR TAKE LONGER TO ANSWER THAN 911 CALLS PLACED VIA TRADITIONAL, LEGACY, CIRCUIT-SWITCHED TELEPHONE NETWORKS.

** IF A CUSTOMER DOES NOT CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THE ACTUAL LOCATION WHERE THE TELAVA EQUIPMENT WILL BE LOCATED AT THE TIME OF ACTIVATION OF THE SERVICE, TELAVA E911 COMMUNICATIONS MAY NOT BE DIRECTED TO THE CORRECT LOCAL EMERGENCY OPERATOR.

2.7 CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT TELAVA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SERVICE OUTAGE AND/OR INABILITY TO DIAL 911 OR ANY OTHER EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBER USING TELAVA OR TO ACCESS AN EMERGENCY SERVICE OPERATOR DUE TO THE 911 DIALING CHARACTERISTICS AND LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. CUSTOMER AGREES TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS TELAVA, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES AND AGENTS AND ANY OTHER SERVICE PROVIDER WHO FURNISHES SERVICES TO CUSTOMER IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, FINES, PENALTIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEY FEES) BY, OR ON BEHALF OF, CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY OR USER OF THE SERVICE RELATING TO THE FAILURE OR OUTAGE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THOSE RELATED TO 911 DIALING.

3. EQUIPMENT - To provide the Services, Telava may provide certain equipment to Customer, including Provider Equipment (as defined below) and Customer Premise Equipment (as defined below). All equipment shipments are F.O.B. Telava’s facility. Telava’s liability for delivery shall cease, and title (if applicable) and all risk of loss or damage shall pass to Customer upon delivery to Customer. Customer will be provided a twelve (12) month warranty from the date of purchase of equipment. Customer shall be required to obtain an authorization from Telava to return any equipment. Telava will provide replacement equipment only if the equipment is deemed to be defective and covered under the warranty. Telava will not cover replacement for lost, stolen or modified equipment. Equipment returned by Customer that is not covered under warranty may be refused by Telava and Customer will be responsible for all return shipping charges.

3.2. As part of the Services, to the extent Customer purchases Certain Premise Equipment pursuant to the Customer Premise Equipment Purchase Agreement, they shall be considered Certain Premise Equipment hereunder.

3.3. Customer shall take such actions as are directed by Telava to protect the Equipment and shall keep such Equipment free and clear from all liens, claims and encumbrances. Customer acknowledges that Telava may take whatever steps deemed necessary to perfect and protect its interest in the Equipment, including, but not limited to the filing of a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement, with respect to which Customer hereby grants to Telava a limited power of attorney to execute any such document on Customer’s behalf.

3.7. Telava shall not be liable to Customer or any other person for direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages arising from Customer’s use of the Equipment or for damages based on strict or absolute tort liability or Telava’s negligence.

3.8. Customer hereby acknowledges that any manufacturer’s or supplier’s warranties with respect to the Equipment are passed on to Customer by Telava in good operating condition to the extent assignable.

3.9. At the end of the Term, Customer shall return any Telava owned Equipment or leased Equipment to Telava, at Customer’s expense.

3.10. Customer shall provide appropriate equipment space, environment, ducting and electrical power to enable the Equipment to be installed and maintained and Telava to provide the Services.
