Endeavor Communications is committed to providing reliable, high-quality service to support Clients using our GigTel service. This Service Level Agreement (SLA) outlines the minimum service a Client may expect from the GigTel Product for the contracted term of the service.
The following SLA represents GigTel’s sole responsibility and the Client’s sole remedy regarding GigTel’s SLA and Voice Service Availability Guarantee.
Client shall mean an Endeavor Communications, GigTel, customer who has executed a binding agreement for Endeavor Communications GigTel service, excluding any Client whose account is, or during the period in question, was not in good financial standing with Endeavor Communications or is in violation of the terms and conditions or Endeavor’s acceptable use policy outlined in Endeavor’s Terms of Service.
The terms of this SLA take effect immediately upon the completion of the GigTel’s Commit Date for service activation. In the month when a Client’s GigTel service is terminated, the Customer is not eligible to receive credits for Endeavor Communications not meeting its service commitments for that month.
User Fees are priced per seat, per month for Call Center, Advanced, Standard and Basic to be paid by the Client for GigTel phone extensions. Excluded fees consist of 800 number measured services, international rates, and additional Call Center levels.
Scheduled Maintenance refers to normal maintenance scheduled for either preventative measures or the upgrade of Endeavor’s data network, voice network, and servers used to deliver GigTel Services to the Client. Endeavor Communications makes every effort to conduct Scheduled Maintenance during our normal maintenance window of 12:01AM – 5:00AM EST. It is Endeavor’s policy to notify clients with as much advanced notice as possible by broadcast message and/or posting on the gigtel.com website. Such effects related to Scheduled Maintenance shall not give rise to service credits outlined in this SLA.
Unscheduled Maintenance refers to urgent Endeavor Communications efforts to correct network conditions that are likely to cause service outages or severe network performance degradation impacting multiple Clients and requires immediate action. Unscheduled Maintenance may degrade the quality of service to include the possibility of outages. Endeavor’s policy is to notify the Client with as much advance notice as possible under the circumstance by broadcast message and/or posting on gigtel.com prior to performing the maintenance. Such effects related to urgent Unscheduled Maintenance shall not give rise to service credits outlined in this SLA.
Endeavor Communications GigTel product has a 100 percent uptime goal and a credit allowance will be given for interruptions in the GigTel service preventing inbound or outbound calling on any or all phone extensions in excess of One minute for each seat affected. The time attributed toward Voice Service Unavailability begins when the Trouble Ticket reporting the outage is opened by the Client with GigTel Customer Support and ends when the affected service is again operational. Two or more interruptions during any one 24-hour period will be combined into one cumulative interruption.
Length of Interruption Credit Per Seat Affected
1 minute to 1 hour = 1-day credit
1 hour 1 minute to 24 hours = 3 days credit
24 hours 1 minute or more = 15 days credit
The Voice Service Availability guarantee is subject to the following limitations:
No credit allowance will be made for any interruption in service related to any of the following:
Inability to access the Web-based portal will not give rise to service credits outlined in this SLA. The amount of credit available per month is subject to a cap as described in this Agreement.

Credits are based on the Client’s GigTel User Service Fee and may arise from multiple service guarantees outlined in this SLA. The total combined credits applied to the Client’s GigTel Service will not exceed the GigTel User Fee in any calendar month.
The Client will pay its entire service bill and shall not offset any Service Credits it would anticipate receiving from Endeavor Communications. Client shall cooperate with Endeavor Communications in any Service Claim investigations.
For each cumulative hour of outage or fraction thereof in any calendar month, at Client’s request Client’s account shall be credited for the pro-rated charges for one day of the Endeavor Communications GigTel User Monthly Service Fee for the service with respect to which a Voice Service Availability guarantee has not been met.
Service Credits delivered as remedies in conjunction with this SLA represent Endeavor’s sole responsibility and the Client’s sole remedy related to Endeavor’s GigTel service.
Endeavor Communications reserves the right to change, amend, and/or revise this SLA policy at any time. Changes and/or revisions to the SLA will be deemed effective upon posting the applicable revision on Endeavor’s gigtel.com website.
BY USING PROVIDER’S SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW. ALL SERVICE ORDERS AND SERVICES ARE SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
These Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) are entered into by and between Clay County Rural Telephone Cooperative, Inc. d/b/a/ GigTel (“Provider”) and the customer purchasing products or services from Provider (“Customer”).
The following terms will have the meanings set forth below.
This Agreement will commence on the date Provider accepts the Service Order and will continue for the period of time specified in the Service Order (the “Initial Term”). At the end of the Initial Term, the Agreement will automatically renew for successive additional one-year periods (each a “Renewal Term”), unless either party provides the other party, at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or applicable Renewal Term, written notification in accordance with Section 20.1 of its desire to cancel the Services. The Initial Term and any Renewal Terms are collectively the “Term.”
(a) Provider is entitled, at its sole discretion, to suspend, terminate or change the Services without advance notice upon any misuse by Customer of the Services in any way, Customer’s breach of the Agreement, Customer’s failure to pay any sum due hereunder, or suspected fraud or other activity by Customer or a User that adversely affects the Services, Provider, Provider’s network or another customer’s use of the Services. Provider will be entitled to determine, at its sole discretion, what constitutes a misuse of the Services, and Customer agrees that Provider’s determination is final and binding on Customer. Provider may require, and if required, Customer will pay, an activation fee as a condition for changing or resuming a terminated or suspended account.
(b) Provider is entitled to terminate any affected portion of the Services if: (i) Provider is prohibited by law from providing such portion of the Services; or (ii) any material rate or term contained herein and relevant to the affected Services is substantially changed by or as a result of any regulation or order issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), any other local, state or federal government authority, or any carrier or internet service provider.
(c) Upon termination of this Agreement under this Section 4.2, Customer will be responsible for payment of the full monthly Service Fee for the month in which termination occurs, in addition to any accrued but unpaid usage and other charges. If this Agreement is terminated by Provider pursuant to subsection 4.2(a), Customer shall also pay the Early Termination Charge.
Any telephone number provided by Provider (“Number”) to the Customer will be leased and not sold. Provider reserves the right to change, cancel or move the Number should Provider reasonably determine, its sole discretion, that it is required to do so as a result of its agreements with its underlying service providers or for other business purposes related to the provision of the Services.
The Services use the public internet and third-party networks to transmit voice communications and data. Provider is not liable for the interception, use or disclosure of Customer’s or its Users’ voice communications or data. Provider does not represent, warrant or covenant that the Services will maintain the privacy or security of Customer’s or its Users’ voice communications or data.

If required by law, Customer will inform its Users that Provider may monitor the Users’ communications and store and use the Users’ personally identifiable information as necessary to provide the Services.

It is Customer’s responsibility to determine if the electronic recordings are legal under applicable federal and state laws and to comply with those laws. Customer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Provider for any claims, damages, fines, penalties or costs (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) arising out of Customer’s or its User’s failure to adhere to applicable electronic recording laws.

Customer also agrees to comply with applicable local rules or codes of conduct (including, if applicable, codes of conduct or policies imposed by employers) regarding online behavior and acceptable content. Use of the Services is void where prohibited. Customer will immediately notify Provider of any unauthorized use of Customer’s account or its Users’ accounts or any other breach of security related to Customer’s account, its Users’ accounts or the Services. Customer and each User must “log off” at the end of each session. Provider is not liable for any loss or damage arising from Customer’s or its Users’ failure to comply with any of the foregoing obligations.

Customer or the User retains copyright and any other rights already held in Content that Customer or the User submits, posts or displays on or through the Services or any music or ring-tones Customer or a User uses in connection with the Services. Customer understands and agrees that by displaying, exchanging or uploading Content to a Provider website, transmitting Content using the Services or otherwise providing Content to Provider, Customer automatically grants (and warrants and represents that it has a right to grant) to Provider a worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable (so Provider affiliates, contractors, resellers and partners can deliver the Services), perpetual, irrevocable license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce and distribute the Content in the course of offering the Services, including, without limitation, on associated websites.

Under no circumstances will Provider be liable in any way for any data or other content available on a website or actions taken while using the Services, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any such data, content or activity or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of, access to or denial of access to any data, content or activities on a website. Provider does not endorse and has no control over what Users post, submit to or do on a website. Customer acknowledges that Provider cannot guarantee the accuracy of any information submitted by any User of a website, nor any personally identifiable information about any User. Provider reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject or remove content.
(a) E911 SERVICE WILL NOT FUNCTION IF CUSTOMER’S OR ITS USER’S DTA, PHONE OR VIDEOPHONE FAILS OR IS NOT CONFIGURED CORRECTLY OR IF CUSTOMER’S OR ITS USER’S SERVICE IS NOT FUNCTIONING FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ELECTRICAL POWER OUTAGE, BROADBAND OR OTHER INTERNET SERVICE OUTAGE OR SUSPENSION OR DISCONNECTION OF SERVICE BECAUSE OF BILLING OR OTHER ISSUES. IF THERE IS A POWER OUTAGE, CUSTOMER OR THE USER MAY BE REQUIRED TO RESET OR RECONFIGURE THE EQUIPMENT BEFORE BEING ABLE TO USE THE SERVICE, INCLUDING FOR E911 PURPOSES. E911 SERVICE MAY NOT FUNCTION IF CUSTOMER OR A USER RELOCATES EQUIPMENT OR USES A NON-NATIVE TELEPHONE NUMBER OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON BEYOND PROVIDER’S CONTROL.
(b) AFTER INITIAL ACTIVATION OF THE E911 SERVICE, AND FOLLOWING ANY CHANGE OF AND UPDATE TO CUSTOMER’S OR A USER’S PHYSICAL LOCATION, THERE MAY BE SOME DELAY BEFORE THE ALI IS PASSED TO THE LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE OPERATOR. THIS INFORMATION IS TYPICALLY POPULATED INTO PROVIDER’S NOMADIC E911 DATABASES PRIOR TO SERVICE ACTIVATION, BUT NO GUARANTEE CAN BE MADE THAT THE ALI WILL BE ACTIVATED WITHIN THIS SCHEDULE.
(c) THE LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE OPERATOR RECEIVING PROVIDER E911 EMERGENCY SERVICE CALLS MAY NOT HAVE A SYSTEM CONFIGURED FOR E911 SERVICES OR BE ABLE TO CAPTURE AND/OR RETAIN ALI. THIS MEANS THAT THE OPERATOR MAY NOT KNOW THE PHONE NUMBER OR PHYSICAL LOCATION OF THE PERSON WHO IS MAKING THE PROVIDER E911 CALL. DUE TO TECHNICAL FACTORS IN NETWORK DESIGN, AND IN THE EVENT OF NETWORK CONGESTION ON THE PROVIDER NETWORK, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A PROVIDER 911 CALL WILL PRODUCE A BUSY SIGNAL, THE CALLER WILL EXPERIENCE UNEXPECTED ANSWERING WAIT TIMES OR THE LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE OPERATOR WILL TAKE LONGER TO ANSWER THE CALL THAN 911 CALLS PLACED VIA TRADITIONAL, CIRCUIT-SWITCHED TELEPHONE NETWORKS. IF CUSTOMER OR ITS USER DOES NOT CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THE ACTUAL LOCATION WHERE THE PROVIDER EQUIPMENT WILL BE LOCATED AT THE TIME OF ACTIVATION OF THE SERVICE, PROVIDER E911 COMMUNICATIONS MAY NOT BE DIRECTED TO THE CORRECT LOCAL EMERGENCY OPERATOR.
PROVIDER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR PERFORMANCE OR CUSTOM, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, EQUIPMENT AND ANY OTHER PROVIDER PRODUCTS, SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT PROVIDED HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, PERFORMANCE IN A WORKMAN-LIKE MANNER, COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, QUALITY, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR CURRENCY OF INFORMATION, SYSTEM INTEGRABILITY, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. PROVIDER DOES NOT REPRESENT, WARRANT OR COVENANT THAT THE PRODUCTS, SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT PROVIDED WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR WITHOUT DEGRADATION OR LOSS OF DATA OR BE SECURE. NEITHER PROVIDER NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION, THEFT OR DESTRUCTION OF CUSTOMER’S OR A USER’S DATA FILES, PROGRAMS, PROCEDURES OR INFORMATION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY SUCH DATA IN PROVIDER’S POSSESSION, CUSTODY OR CONTROL, THROUGH ACCIDENT, FRAUDULENT MEANS OR DEVICES OR ANY OTHER METHOD, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE OCCURS AS A RESULT OF PROVIDER’S OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDER’S NEGLIGENCE. IN NO EVENT WILL PROVIDER OR ITS AFFILIATE, SERVICE PROVIDER, FACILITY OPERATOR OR CARRIER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, “PROVIDER PARTIES”) BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, ACTUAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES OR FOR ANY COST OF COVER OR LOST PROFITS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR A PROVIDER PARTY’S PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, A FAILURE OF OR A DEFECT IN THE SERVICES, EQUIPMENT OR ANY PRODUCT, A PROVIDER PARTY’S VIOLATION OF A THIRD PARTY’S RIGHT OR A PROVIDER PARTY’S ACTS OR OMISSIONS. PROVIDER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF, A FAILURE OF, OR A DEFECT IN ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROVIDED BY, OR VIOLATION OF ANY THIRD PARTY’S RIGHTS BY ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER, FACILITY OPERATOR OR CARRIER. THE PROVIDER PARTIES’ MAXIMUM TOTAL LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID BY CUSTOMER TO PROVIDER IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE THE CLAIM ACCRUED. THE PROVIDER PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY TO ANY USER.
Customer will defend the Provider Parties, at Customer’s expense, against any third-party claim or action and indemnify and hold harmless the Provider Parties from any and all losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, settlement obligations, costs, attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses related to such third-party claim or action arising from or related to: (a) Customer’s breach of this Agreement or an agreement between Customer and a third party; (b) Customer’s violation, infringement or misappropriation of the third party’s intellectual property or other rights in Customer’s use of the Services; (c) Customer’s violation of the third party’s privacy, publicity, personality or other rights; (d) Customer’s fraud in use of the Services or fraud or misrepresentation regarding the nature or volume of Customer’s traffic; (e) Customer’s violation of an applicable law; (f) bodily injury, death or property damage to the extent such claim or action arises from the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Customer or in the case where strict liability applies; (g) Customer’s business, acts or omissions; or (h) acts or omissions by Users that, if done by Customer, would constitute a breach of this Agreement. Customer will not settle any claim or action without Provider’s prior written consent. Provider will have the option, at its expense, to participate in the defense or settlement of the claim or action with counsel of its own choosing. If a conflict of interests arises or exists between the parties or if Provider has a good faith belief that its rights are being harmed by the counsel selected by Customer, Provider will have the right to retain separate counsel to represent its interests at Customer’s sole cost and expense.
Provider may make a mobile application for the Services available to Customer. Subject to this Agreement, Provider grants to Customer a limited, personal, revocable, nonexclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license to install and use the mobile application during the Term. Customer has no other rights in or to the mobile application. The mobile application is licensed, not sold. The terms of this Agreement apply to any updated, upgraded or new versions of the mobile application. Use of the mobile application constitutes use of the Services. Provider may require Users to agree to additional terms and conditions governing use of the mobile application, and Customer agrees that its Users will not be permitted to use the mobile application unless they agree to such terms and conditions. Customer agrees that, from time to time and without notice, Provider may amend, modify, update or upgrade the mobile application or create new versions of the mobile application. Customer agrees that Provider may automatically update the version of the mobile application that a User is using on a mobile device. Customer consents, on behalf of itself and its Users, to such updating on mobile devices. Updates may cause Customer or a User to lose data, and Provider will not be liable for such loss. Customer agrees that Provider has no obligation to provide support, maintenance or updates for or to the mobile application. To the extent the mobile application contains any third-party software, Customer’s and User’s rights and obligations with respect to such software will be subject to and governed by the third party’s terms and conditions. Provider does not make a representation or warranty that the mobile application will operate on any particular device or operating system. The mobile application is commercial computer software, and to the extent any U.S. government agency uses the mobile application, the U.S. government is only granted the limited rights granted to all other Provider customers. Provider is not a wireless licensee of the FCC, and the mobile application will not be able to provide access to E911 service unless Customer subscribes to wireless service that complies with the FCC’s E911 program, as further explained in Section 13.6.
The Services and Software, and all intellectual property therein, are and will remain the exclusive property of Provider. Provider reserves all rights not expressly granted under this Agreement. The Software may contain third-party software that is subject to the terms and conditions of third-party licenses. Neither Customer, Users nor any other third party has a right to inspect, possess, use, copy or attempt to discover the source code of (or any portion of) the Software, except to the extent that Customer, a User or a third party is expressly permitted to decompile the Software under applicable law and Customer, the User or the third party notifies Provider in writing in advance of its intention to decompile the Software and its reason for doing so.
Provider may update the Customer and User portals, and Customer agrees that Service may be unavailable during the implementation of such updates. Upon expiration, cancellation or termination of the Services, Customer and Users will relinquish and discontinue use of any accounts, Numbers, voicemail access numbers and/or web portal sites assigned to Customer by Provider or its service providers.

24 hours 1 minute or more = 15 days credit

The following terms will have the meanings set forth below.
This Agreement will commence on the date Provider accepts the Service Order and will continue for the period of time specified in the Service Order (the “Initial Term”). At the end of the Initial Term, the Agreement will automatically renew for successive additional one-year periods (each a “Renewal Term”), unless either party provides the other party, at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or applicable Renewal Term, written notification in accordance with Section 20.1 of its desire to cancel the Services. The Initial Term and any Renewal Terms are collectively the “Term.”
(a) Provider is entitled, at its sole discretion, to suspend, terminate or change the Services without advance notice upon any misuse by Customer of the Services in any way, Customer’s breach of the Agreement, Customer’s failure to pay any sum due hereunder, or suspected fraud or other activity by Customer or a User that adversely affects the Services, Provider, Provider’s network or another customer’s use of the Services. Provider will be entitled to determine, at its sole discretion, what constitutes misuse of the Services, and Customer agrees that Provider’s determination is final and binding on Customer.

(c) THE LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE OPERATOR RECEIVING PROVIDER E911 EMERGENCY SERVICE CALLS MAY NOT HAVE A SYSTEM CONFIGURED FOR E911 SERVICES OR BE ABLE TO CAPTURE AND/OR RETAIN ALI. THIS MEANS THAT THE OPERATOR MAY NOT KNOW THE PHONE NUMBER OR PHYSICAL LOCATION OF THE PERSON WHO IS MAKING THE PROVIDER E911 CALL. DUE TO TECHNICAL FACTORS IN NETWORK DESIGN, AND IN THE EVENT OF NETWORK CONGESTION ON THE PROVIDER NETWORK, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A PROVIDER 911 CALL WILL PRODUCE A BUSY SIGNAL, THE CALLER WILL EXPERIENCE UNEXPECTED ANSWERING WAIT TIMES OR THE LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICE OPERATOR WILL TAKE LONGER TO ANSWER THE CALL THAN 911 CALLS PLACED VIA TRADITIONAL, CIRCUIT-SWITCHED TELEPHONE NETWORKS. IF CUSTOMER OR ITS USER DOES NOT CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THE ACTUAL LOCATION WHERE THE PROVIDER EQUIPMENT WILL BE LOCATED AT THE TIME OF ACTIVATION OF THE SERVICE, PROVIDER E911 COMMUNICATIONS MAY NOT BE DIRECTED TO THE CORRECT LOCAL EMERGENCY OPERATOR.

Customer will not settle any claim or action without Provider’s prior written consent. Provider will have the option, at its expense, to participate in the defense or settlement of the claim or action with counsel of its own choosing. If a conflict of interests arises or exists between the parties or if Provider has a good faith belief that its rights are being harmed by the counsel selected by Customer, Provider will have the right to retain separate counsel to represent its interests at Customer’s sole cost and expense.
Provider may make a mobile application for the Services available to Customer. Subject to this Agreement, Provider grants to Customer a limited, personal, revocable, nonexclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license to install and use the mobile application during the Term. Customer has no other rights in or to the mobile application. The mobile application is licensed, not sold. The terms of this Agreement apply to any updated, upgraded or new versions of the mobile application. Use of the mobile application constitutes use of the Services. Provider may require Users to agree to additional terms and conditions governing use of the mobile application, and Customer agrees that its Users will not be permitted to use the mobile application unless they agree to such terms and conditions. Customer agrees that, from time to time and without notice, Provider may amend, modify, update or upgrade the mobile application or create new versions of the mobile application. Customer agrees that Provider may automatically update the version of the mobile application that a User is using on a mobile device. Customer consents, on behalf of itself and its Users, to such updating on mobile devices. Updates may cause Customer or a User to lose data, and Provider will not be liable for such loss. Customer agrees that Provider has no obligation to provide support, maintenance or updates for or to the mobile application. To the extent the mobile application contains any third-party software, Customer’s and User’s rights and obligations with respect to such software will be subject to and governed by the third party’s terms and conditions. Provider does not make a representation or warranty that the mobile application will operate on any particular device or operating system. The mobile application is commercial computer software, and to the extent any government agency uses the mobile application, the government is only granted the limited rights granted to all other Provider customers. Provider is not a wireless licensee of the CRTC and the mobile application will not be able to provide access to E911 service unless Customer subscribes to wireless service that complies with the CRTC’s E911 program, as further explained in Section 13.6.
The Services and Software, and all intellectual property therein, are and will remain the exclusive property of Provider. Provider reserves all rights not expressly granted under this Agreement. The Software may contain third-party software that is subject to the terms and conditions of third-party licenses. Neither Customer, Users nor any other third party has a right to inspect, possess, use, copy or attempt to discover the source code of (or any portion of) the Software, except to the extent that Customer, a User or a third party is expressly permitted to decompile the Software under applicable law and Customer, the User or the third party notifies Provider in writing in advance of its intention to decompile the Software and its reason for doing so.
Provider may update the Customer and User portals, and Customer agrees that Service may be unavailable during the implementation of such updates. Upon expiration, cancellation or termination of the Services, Customer and Users will relinquish and discontinue use of any accounts, Numbers, voicemail access numbers and/or web portal sites assigned to Customer by Provider or its service providers.

The Gigtel website uses the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). With this function, the provider is able to address visitors to the website with targeted advertising by placing personalized, interest-based Facebook advertisements for visitors to the website if they visit the social network Facebook. The legal basis for the use of Facebook Remarketing is Art. 6(1) sent. 1 (f) GDPR. To carry out this function, the Remarketing Tag from Facebook is implemented on the website of the provider.
When you visit our website, these tags establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers. In this way, the Facebook server is informed which of our web pages you have visited. Facebook will assign this information to your personal Facebook account. Further information on the collection and use of the data by Facebook as well as your related rights and options for the protection of your private sphere are provided in the data protection information of Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ . If you do not wish Facebook to assign the data collected directly to your Facebook account, you can deactivate the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function in your Facebook settings. To do this, you have to be logged into Facebook.
Videos from the company YouTube, YouTube LLC 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a company of Google Inc., Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA are integrated on this website, which are saved at http://www.youtube.com and can be played back directly from our website.
All of the videos have been integrated in the “enhanced data protection mode”, which means that no data about you as a user will be transferred to YouTube unless you play the videos.

YouTube receives a notification when you access a sub-page on our website that features a YouTube video. Some data collected through use of our website, as described in our Privacy Policy, may also be transferred. This will take place regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account into which you are logged in or if no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your YouTube profile, you must log out before playing a video. YouTube will store your data as user profiles and use it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based configuration of its website. In particular, this evaluation takes place (including for users who are not logged in) for the provision of needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; if you intend to exercise this right, it is necessary for you to contact YouTube.
