Legal Disclaimer
CSDVRS’s provision of Video Relay Services (VRS) is governed by the rules adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) (47 C.F.R. 65.601 et. seq.) pursuant to the FCC’s authority under Section 225 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 225. Under these rules, VRS Communication Assistants (CAs) must meet certain minimum standards in order to qualify as VRS interpreters. While all of CSDVRS’s interpreters are qualified to provide VRS under the FCC’s rules, different credentialing and licensing requirements are imposed by each of the individual states with respect to the qualifications needed to provide legal interpreting, i.e., interpreting for depositions and other legal proceedings. Because CSDVRS is centrally located in some states, it cannot guarantee that all of its interpreters meet all of the legal interpreting qualifications of every single state. No party shall have the right to rely on such VRS for any specialized interpreting service needs.
911 Calls
CSDVRS is not liable for any error during the emergency call process, nor for any delay in the call process or availability of video interpreters. CSDVRS is also not liable for any error in the transmission or interpretation of any information pertaining to the emergency, including but not limited to: location, identifying information such as names, nature of emergencies, or any other details shared during the call. Additionally, CSDVRS is not liable for any delays or problems with emergency personnel’s arrival or services.
WARNING: Please be aware that, currently, some numbering limitations of VRS-based 911 video calls may prevent automatic referral of your location information to 911 emergency authorities. The resulting need to gather this information and convey it to emergency responders manually increases the amount of time for these calls, as well as the risk of error. For this reason, if you do not have a registered 10-digit telephone number, or reside in an area where a geographically appropriate telephone number could not be readily provided to you, CSDVRS recommends for you to dial 911 from a TTY or use a traditional TTY relay services to make 911 calls.

These limitations apply even if the damages are foreseeable or CSDVRS is told they are possible, and they apply to any negligence claim that does not involve willful misconduct or intentional misconduct no matter how that claim is styled or on what legal grounds (such as contract, tort, statute, misrepresentation), it is based on. CSDVRS will be liable for no more than the amount of direct damages to the person or property.
