Operation and Limitations of the RingCentral 000/112 Emergency Services

Last Updated: October 15, 2019

This policy forms part of, and is governed by the Customer Agreement and/or the RingCentral Terms of Service, as applicable. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement or the Terms of Service.

RingCentral provides access to emergency calling services, allowing most RingCentral users to access either 000/112 emergency services. RingCentral Office users with a Digital Line, using IP Desk Phones or Softphones, can dial 000/112 emergency services directly from their IP Desk Phones or Softphone. VIRTUAL EXTENSIONS AND MOBILE USERS WITHOUT A DIGITAL LINE CANNOT COMPLETE 000/112 CALLS.

Emergency calling services work differently than you may have experienced using traditional wireline or wireless telephones. Your access may differ depending on your location or the device you are using.

1. Registering Your Location

You must register the address of the physical location where you will use each Digital Line with RingCentral immediately upon activation of your End Point. This is your Registered Address. You or your Account Administrator must accurately register each individual line through your Digital Line Settings or the Administrative Portal. You must use RingCentral voice services only at the Registered Address provided for the applicable Digital Line. If you move a registered device, you must immediately update the Registered Address with the new physical location of the device with RingCentral through the Administrative Portal or in your account settings. If you do not update the Registered Address, any 000/112 emergency services calls made from the device may be sent to the wrong emergency response centre and will not transmit your current location information to emergency responders, delaying emergency assistance to you. It may take up to ten (10) days for the address update to take effect. Customers with more than one Digital Line are solely responsible for ensuring that an accurate and up-to-date Registered Address is maintained for each Digital Line, and that their End Users are aware of how the Registered Address can be changed.

2. Service limitations

RingCentral 000/112 emergency service dialling will not function (i) in the event of an Internet or power outage; (ii) if your broadband, ISP, or RingCentral Service is terminated; (iii), with respect to only the RingCentral Mobile Application, if you do not have mobile service, as the RingCentral Mobile Application cannot send emergency calls over Wi-Fi access; and (iv) in some Global Office countries. It is possible that network congestion may delay or prevent completion of any 000/112 emergency services call. You will not be able to complete a 000/112 emergency services call if you move to a physical location outside the country in which your Digital Line is provided.

Users uncomfortable with any of these limitations should use an alternate means of reaching 000/112 emergency services.

3. How it Works

When you dial 000/112 emergency services using voice services from RingCentral, the RingCentral phone number and the Registered Address you have provided is sent to the local emergency centre serving your location. In some areas, emergency operators have access to this information; however, in other areas the emergency operator answering the call may not be able to see your RingCentral telephone number or your Registered Address. You should always be prepared to provide the emergency operator with your RingCentral telephone number and Registered Address in case the call is dropped or disconnected. If you are unable to speak, the emergency operator may not be able to send help to your location and/or call you back should the call be disconnected. RingCentral does not control whether or not the emergency operator receives your telephone number and Registered Address.

In some cases, 000/112 emergency services calls dialled from your RingCentral Office device cannot be directed to the local emergency response centre, and are instead directed to a non-location based Emergency Call Centre (the “ECC”). That might happen if there is a problem validating a Registered Address, if the Registered Address is an international location, or if the Registered Address is in an area that is not covered by the landline 000/112 emergency services network. 000/112 emergency services calls that are directed to the ECC may not include your RingCentral telephone number or your registered address. Trained operators at the ECC will request your name, location, and telephone number and attempt to reach emergency responders in your local area. Until you give the operator your phone number, and location, he/she may not be able to call you back or dispatch help to your location if the call is dropped or disconnected.

4. Mobile Applications

Calls to 000/112 emergency services placed through the RingCentral Mobile Application on a smartphone are automatically routed to the native dialler on the smartphone, and the call will be handled by your wireless service provider if wireless service is available. If your wireless service is unavailable, the 000/112 emergency services call cannot be placed. The RingCentral Mobile Application cannot place emergency calls over Wi-Fi access. Emergency dialling is not available through the RingCentral Mobile Application on tablets or other mobile devices without a native phone dialler and a wireless service plan.

5. Notification of Employees, Guests, or Other Users

Customers must notify any employees, contractors, guests, or persons who may place calls using the Services or may be present at the physical location where the Services may be used, of the limitations of RingCentral 000/112 emergency service from your RingCentral IP phone, other equipment, or the RingCentral Softphone. Where required, Customer must affix a RingCentral-provided sticker warning that 000/112 emergency services may be limited or unavailable in a readily visible place on each piece of equipment that might be used to access or use the Services.

6. Disclaimer of Liability for Emergency Call Response

Your use, and use by your employees, guests and other third parties, of RingCentral’s 000/112 emergency services dialling is subject to the limitations described herein. The availability of certain features, such as transmission of a Registered Address or your RingCentral telephone number, depends on whether local emergency response centres support those features, and other factors outside of RingCentral’s control. RingCentral relies on qualified third parties to assist us in routing 000/112 emergency services calls and text messages to local emergency response centres and to the ECC. RingCentral does not have control over local emergency response centres, the ECC, emergency responders, or other third parties. RingCentral disclaims all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centres, the ECC, third parties engaged by Customer to facilitate address updates, and all other third parties involved in the provision of emergency response services. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, you hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless RingCentral from and against any and all liability relating to or arising from any acts or omissions of such third parties or other third parties involved in the handling of or response to any emergency or 000/112 emergency services call. Customer indemnifies and holds harmless RingCentral, and any third-party provider(s) from any and all third-party claims, losses, damages, fines, or penalties arising out of: (i) Customer or its End User’s provision to RingCentral of incorrect information, including physical addresses, or failure to update a Registered Address; (ii) Customer’s failure to properly notify any person who may place calls using the Services of the 000/112 emergency services limitations; or (iii) the absence, failure, or outage of emergency service dialling using the Services for any reason; and (iv) the inability of any End User to be able to dial 000/112 or access emergency service personnel for any reason.
