Net2Phone, Inc. ("Net2Phone") makes available for
your use on its websites ("Website" or "Site")
information, documents, software and products (collectively "Materials")
and various services offered by Net2Phone (collectively "Services")
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this document
("Terms of Use"). By accessing or using this Site, which
includes your access to or use of any Materials or Services, you
agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not wish to
be bound by these Terms of Use, you may not access or use the
Site, Materials, or any of the Services. By using the Materials
or Service, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms of Use.
Net2Phone may modify the Materials, Services and Terms of Use
at any time without notice and such modifications shall be deemed

when using particular Services or Materials, you shall be subject
to all posted agreements, guidelines or rules applicable to such
Services or Materials that may contain terms and conditions in
addition to those in the Terms of Use. All such guidelines or
rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the Terms of Use.
BILLING Call times for each call are rounded up to the
next whole minute and billed in full minute increments. Per call
charges are rounded up to the next whole penny. All calls for
which we receive answer supervision shall incur a minimum one-minute
charge. Net2Phone relies on answer supervision to determine whether
and when a call has been answered. Answer supervision is a signal
sent by the carrier connecting the call to indicate the start
of call. Answer supervision is generally received when a call
is answered; however, answer supervision may also be generated
by voicemail systems, private branch exchanges, and interexchange
switching equipment. Where no answer supervision is received,
we will commence billing forty (40) seconds following dial time
unless the caller has terminated the call. You must notify us
in writing of any disputed charges within sixty (60) days of the
charges or you will have waived your right to dispute the charges.
SERVICE CHARGES, SURCHARGES AND CONNECTION
FEES The PennyTalk calling card has a 99¢ monthly service
fee that applies to all accounts and is charged on each monthly
anniversary of activation. There is a 49¢ connection fee
charged at the time each call is made and answer supervision is
received. Calls made from Alaska are billed an additional 10¢
per minute. Surcharges may apply for calls made from a cellular
phone depending upon your cellular service plan.
