RingCentral Numbering Policy

Attachment

Use of voice and/or facsimile services provided by RingCentral is subject to this Numbering Policy. This Numbering Policy incorporated into and made a part of the Agreement.

Customer may obtain new numbers from RingCentral for use with the Services, or may port existing numbers, subject to the terms below. 

I. Number Availability

RingCentral makes available phone numbers for use with voice and facsimile services, which Customer may select for assignment to the Customer’s Account. RingCentral’s listing of a number as available may be erroneous and does not constitute a representation or guarantee that such number is actually available for such assignment. In the event a chosen number is not actually available, RingCentral may remove such number from an Account. 

II. Number Porting

RingCentral will use reasonable commercial endeavours to facilitate number transfers or port requests for You, provided it is reasonably practicable to do so and that You comply with the necessary and specific procedures for porting between service providers. You acknowledge and accept that number porting depends on the co-operation of third parties outside of RingCentral’s control, including but not limited to RingCentral’s suppliers of level “3” and/or level “6” numbers. Accordingly, You agree that RingCentral will not be liable for the failure or delay of any third party to cooperate in the porting of any telephone number, or for the allegedly unauthorised porting of any telephone number by a third party. 

A. Number Port-In Request Procedures

Customer must keep the its existing service active in order to port a phone number to RingCentral. 

In order to request the porting of a telephone or facsimile number into an Account, the Account Administrator for the Account into which you wish the telephone or facsimile number to be ported must log in to the Admin Portal for such Account and complete all steps and provide all information requested as part of the number port-in request process (which may include without limitation providing an executed Letter of Agency) or as otherwise requested by RingCentral.

In order to port more than 100 phone numbers from the same third party service provider account into the RingCentral Account, you must contact RingCentral’s Project Porting Department at project.porting@ringcentral.com and comply with their instructions. Porting requests are processed between the hours of 8 am – 5 pm local time, Monday-Friday. After-Hours porting requests will be processed the following day, in accordance with industry practice. 

B. The Number Porting Process

In order to request the porting out to another services provider of a telephone or facsimile number currently assigned to an Account, You must follow the instructions specified by that services provider and must provide all information and cooperation requested by the relevant other services providers, RingCentral, or any other relevant third party. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) the porting of telephone or facsimile numbers into or out of an Account requires Your provision of specific and detailed information to RingCentral and/or third parties (including without limitation other services providers) and completion of certain steps and procedures, as well as third parties’ completion of certain steps; and (ii) numbers may not be ported into or out of an Account unless and until You are able to provide certain specific information that matches other information on record with RingCentral or other services providers. For these and other reasons, the completion of any number port request and the timing of and date by which any such request may be completed depend on a number of factors outside of RingCentral’s control, including without limitation the acts and omissions of both You and third parties, including without limitation other services providers.. 

C. Unauthorised Port Outs

RingCentral is required by law to comply with any valid porting request. Phone numbers may be ported out from an Account due to acts or omissions of third parties, and it may be difficult or impossible for RingCentral to: (i) prevent such port-outs: (ii) retrieve numbers ported out of an Account; or (iii) port such numbers back into an Account. RingCentral has no responsibility or liability due to such port-outs. 

D. Accurate Porting Information

Customer represents and warrants that all information provided in connection with any request to port in or port out numbers to or from the RingCentral Services (including without limitation any information or representations in any Letter of Agency) by Customer or any party acting on its behalf or direction will be true, accurate, and up-to-date. 

E. Customer Compliance with Porting Laws

The porting of numbers is subject to telecommunications and other Laws and may be subject to third-party terms and conditions. Customer, and/or any party acting on Customer’s behalf, shall not: (i) violate any applicable Law or engage in any fraudulent or deceptive conduct in its porting-related requests or activities; (ii) engage in or facilitate “slamming” or the porting out of any telephone or facsimile number or change or attempt to change any party’s telephony service provider without first obtaining the proper, requisite consents and authorisations; or (iii) violate contractual or other obligations to service providers or other third parties. 

F. Release of Numbers

In the event of Account termination or cancellation, all telephone numbers associated with the Account which have not previously been ported to another provider may be released. The cancellation of individual Digital Lines may result in the release of the associated numbers if those numbers have not previously been ported to another provider. Customer is solely responsible for working with its new third-party provider to port out any numbers prior to termination or cancellation of Customer’s Account or Services, or any individual line. 

III. Number Publication by Customer

All new number assignments are provisional until verified by RingCentral and confirmed by Customer. Customer shall not publicise, list, or communicate any number that is assigned to the Account, or purchase or invest in any materials or media reflecting any such number unless and until Customer has confirmed that such number(s) is(are) active and functioning as desired. Acceptable methods of confirmation include test calling such number(s) from a non-RingCentral service plan and verifying that the fees and charges that will be incurred in connection with use of such number(s) are acceptable to Customer. Customer agrees to hold harmless all RingCentral Parties arising from or related to its or any End User’s violation of the immediately preceding sentence.
