TELUS Business Connect™ Service Terms

These TELUS Business Connect Service Terms (the “ Service Terms”) are, together with the Business Connect Customer Service Agreement (the “CSA”) and TELUS’ Privacy Commitment (found at https://www.telus.com/en/about/privacy) (the “TPC”), the entire agreement between TELUS and the Customer (as defined in the CSA) with respect to the Business Connect Services to be provided by TELUS to the Customer. The CSA, these TELUS Business Connect Service Terms and TELUS’ Privacy Commitment are collectively referred to hereunder as the “Agreement”. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the CSA.

Within these Business Connect Service Terms are Section A (General Terms and Conditions) and Section B (Service Terms and Conditions). Section B includes separate Subsections addressing Office Phone Services, Internet Services and Mobility Services.

If there is any conflict or inconsistency between any of the documents which form the Agreement, such conflict or inconsistency shall be resolved in accordance with the following order of priority, with the lower numbered documents superseding the higher numbered documents, but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict or inconsistency: 1) TELUS’ published rate plans, 2) Section B (Service Terms and Conditions) and its Subsections, 3) Section A (General Terms and Conditions), 4) TELUS’ Privacy Commitment, and 5) the CSA.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that TELUS may use third parties (“ Authorized Service Providers”) to assist it in providing some part of or all of the Services, and the Customer agrees that certain rights, benefits, privileges and protections given to TELUS under this Agreement shall, where indicated, also be granted to the Authorized Service Providers.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that, from time to time, TELUS may amend these Service Terms in its sole and absolute discretion, and TELUS will post these amended Service terms on its website. The Customer’s continued use and enjoyment of the Services after any amendment of the Service Terms shall be deemed to constitute its acceptance of such amended Service Terms.

SECTION A GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. Charges and Payment.

1.1 The Customer is responsible for all charges resulting from any calls or messages or other communications made to or from any telephone, computer or other device using the Services. Until the Agreement is terminated, TELUS shall bill the Customer each month, and the Customer shall pay the charges for the Services as specified in the CSA including all government charges and applicable taxes relating to the Services. Recurring charges for a Service shall be billed monthly upon installation of the Service or any unit of the Service. The billed amount is payable in full, without deduction or set off, by the due date shown on the bill. The Customer shall pay a late payment charge of 2% per month (compounded to 26.82% per year), calculated from the billing date, on any amounts not received by TELUS by the due date shown on the bill. TELUS may change the late payment charge at any time by giving at least 30 days’ advance notice to the Customer.

1.2 TELUS may bill the Customer exclusively by posting the Customer’s invoice on the Internet. If TELUS bills the Customer through Internet posting, the Customer agrees that (a) the Customer shall receive its bill, and applicable late payment charges shall begin to accrue, when TELUS posts the Customer’s bill online at the website specified in the notice, and (b) the Customer waives pre-notification of the amounts and dates of debits from the Customer’s account.

2. Term and Termination.

2.1 The term, as it may apply to each component of the Services, if any, and which is also referred to as the “Commitment Period” in the CSA, is described in the CSA (the “Term”).

2.2 TELUS may suspend the Services or terminate the Agreement effective immediately upon notice to the Customer if the Customer breaches any provision of the Agreement and does not remedy the breach within 10 days after notice of the breach (but no notice period shall be necessary if, in TELUS’ reasonable discretion, immediate termination is necessary to protect the operation or integrity of the Services or TELUS’ network or to prevent violations of applicable laws or regulations), or if the Customer becomes insolvent or bankrupt, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or appoints or has appointed for it a receiver or manager, or ceases to do business as a going concern, or is wound up or dissolved. On termination of the Agreement, the Customer shall pay TELUS the termination charges and the other amounts described on this Agreement. TELUS may suspend or restrict the Services temporarily if TELUS reasonably believes it is desirable or necessary to do so to maintain, restore or repair any part of the networks or any part of the Services or for other business reasons. If the Services are terminated for any reason, including a decision to port a number to another carrier, the Customer shall remain liable for all accrued fees and charges. The SIM is not reusable on termination and must be destroyed.

2.3 The Customer may terminate some or all of the Services or this Agreement at any time by giving at least 30 days’ advance notice to TELUS. If the Customer is a small business under Broadcasting and Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2014-576:

(a) the Customer may terminate some or all of the Services or this Agreement by giving notice to TELUS, and

(b) termination of a Service shall be effective when TELUS receives the notice or, if the Service requires disconnection and porting to another service provider, upon disconnection.

2.4 Upon termination by Customer in accordance with Clause 2.3, Customer shall pay all termination fees and charges set out in the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3. Use of the Services.

The Customer shall not: resell the Services; tamper with or change the Services or any TELUS equipment or facilities; abuse the Services or use them in a manner that interferes with any TELUS equipment or facilities, TELUS’ network, or the use of TELUS services by any other person, or in a manner that avoids the payment of any charges or abuse any flat rate or unlimited use service plan offered by TELUS; or use the Services in violation of any applicable law and regulations.

4. Numbers and Property Rights.

Subject to any rights available under applicable laws and regulations, including any right to port a number to another carrier, the Customer does not own or have any property rights in any telephone numbers assigned for use with the Services, or in any TELUS network facilities or equipment. This Agreement does not grant to the Customer any ownership, intellectual property or other rights or licenses in or to any Service Components and does not grant to TELUS any ownership, intellectual property, or other rights or licenses in or to any property of the Customer, unless stated elsewhere in this Agreement. In this Agreement, the “ Service Components” are the facilities, equipment, software, systems, processes, and documentation used by TELUS to provide the Services.

5. No Warranties.

TELUS does not guarantee error-free or uninterrupted operation of the Services, and provides the Services on an “ as is” and “as available” basis. Warranties, representations, and conditions do not apply to the Services and are excluded, to the extent permitted by law. Additional restrictions on or limitations of the Services are set out in Section B (which follows below) and TELUS’ Tariffs. Subsection B.4 contains additional warranty terms.

6. Indemnity.

The Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless TELUS, Authorized Service Providers and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, managers, and employees (each, an “ Indemnified Party”) for all damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses, claims or judgments sustained by or made against an Indemnified Party in connection with (a) the Customer's use or misuse of the Services (or such use or misuse by a third party acting with the Customer’s permission, knowledge, authority, or direction (an “Acting Third Party”)), (b) any Customer equipment used with the Services; (c) a breach of the Agreement by the Customer or its Acting Third Party; (d) any violation of law or regulation by the Customer or its Acting Third Party through their use of the Services; (e) the Customer’s or its Acting Third Party’s misappropriation, violation, or infringement of any right, title, or interest of any third party’s intellectual property rights; or (f) any negligent, reckless, or willful acts or omissions by the Customer or its Acting Third Party.

7. Limitation of Liability.

7.1 In this Agreement, “Third Party Liabilities” means all loss and liability incurred by TELUS resulting from any claim made against TELUS in connection with the Customer’s equipment, software, data or services, or in connection with any access or use of the Services by the Customer or any other person, including use that breaches this Agreement, through the Customer’s equipment, software or services or using any Customer credentials or permissions necessary to access or use the Services, even if the person or the use is not authorized by the Customer.

7.2 Neither party or its Affiliates shall be liable to the other party for loss of profits or business, failure to realize expected savings, loss of or damage to data, loss of goodwill or reputation, or any consequential or indirect damages, arising from or relating to the Services or this Agreement. This exclusion applies even if the party could reasonably foresee or has been advised of the possibility of such losses, failure, or damages. This exclusion does not apply to a party’s responsibility for Third Party Liabilities or obligations to pay liquidated damages.

7.3 TELUS’ entire liability to the Customer arising from or relating to:

(a) a Service is limited to an amount equal to the total charges paid by the Customer for the Service during the one-year period immediately preceding the first event that resulted in any claim by the Customer against TELUS for that Service, and

(b) this Agreement or all of the Services is limited to an amount equal to the total charges paid by the Customer under this Agreement during the one-year period immediately preceding the first event that resulted in any claim by the Customer against TELUS arising from or relating to a Service or this Agreement.

7.4 These limits on liability apply to all claims in aggregate made against TELUS and its Affiliates arising from or relating to this Agreement or the Services.

7.5 These exclusions and limits on liability apply whether the claims are made in contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or otherwise.

7.6 Subsections B.1, B.3 and B.4 contain additional limitations on liability.

8. Confidentiality.

8.1 Unless the Customer provides express consent or disclosure is pursuant to a legal power, all information kept by TELUS regarding the Customer, other than the Customer’s name, address and listed telephone number, is confidential and may not be disclosed by TELUS to anyone other than: the Customer; a person who, in the reasonable judgment of TELUS is seeking the information as an agent of the Customer; another telecommunications company, provided the information is required for the establishment of, or the efficient and cost-effective provision of, telecommunications services and disclosure is made on a confidential basis with the information to be used only for that purpose; a company involved in supplying the Customer with telephone or telephone directory related services, provided the information is required for that purpose and disclosure is made on a confidential basis with the information to be used only for that purpose; an agent used by TELUS to evaluate the Customer’s creditworthiness or collect the Customer’s account, provided the information is required for and is to be used only for that purpose; a public authority or an agent of a public authority, if in the reasonable judgment of TELUS it appears that there is imminent danger to life or property which could be avoided or minimized by disclosure of the information; a public authority or an agent of a public authority, for emergency public alerting purposes, if a public authority has determined that there is an imminent or unfolding danger that threatens the life, health or security of an individual and that the danger could be avoided or minimized by disclosure of information; or an Affiliate involved in supplying the Customer with telecommunications or broadcasting services, provided the information is required for that purpose and disclosure is made on a confidential basis with the information to be used only for that purpose. Express consent may be taken to be given by the Customer where the Customer provides written consent, oral confirmation verified by an independent third party, electronic confirmation through the use of a toll-free number, electronic confirmation via the Internet, oral consent where an audio recording of the consent is retained by TELUS, or consent through other methods, as long as an objective documented record of the Customer consent is created by the Customer or by an independent third party. TELUS may also release to a law enforcement agency, in accordance with the terms of a tariff approved by the CRTC, the identity of the service provider, the Customer name and service address associated with an specific telephone number.

8.2 The Customer hereby consents to the publication of the mobility numbers assigned to the Customer’s account, and presentation of caller ID as well as the disclosure of and sharing by TELUS, its Affiliates and their agents of information that they have about the Customer in order to assess the Customer’s creditworthiness and to market or provide products and services of TELUS, its Affiliates and third parties who provide products and services in association with TELUS and its Affiliates. If the Customer is an individual person, the Customer consents to the collection, use and disclosure by TELUS and its agents of the Customer’s personal information (whether previously collected or to be collected) for the purposes identified in the TELUS Privacy Commitment published at https://www.telus.com/en/about/privacy The TELUS Privacy Commitment may be updated from time to time.

8.3 The Customer may inspect any TELUS records related to the provision of the Services to the Customer, provided that the Customer pays TELUS' related extraordinary costs. The Customer may request that its name and address not be included on any list provided to any other person or used by TELUS. TELUS may share the Customer’s personal information on a confidential basis with third party service providers. The Customer acknowledges that if any such service provider is located in the U.S. or other foreign country, the Customer’s personal information may be processed and stored in that country and may be accessed by the governments, courts, and law enforcement or regulatory agencies of that country under its laws. For the avoidance of doubt, during roaming outside Canada the storage, treatment and transfer of the Customer’s personal information and data may be subject to regulations different from regulations in Canada. The Customer agrees to provide TELUS with the Customer’s current e-mail address (and to inform TELUS if that e-mail address changes) to enable TELUS to provide the Customer with tools and services to manage the Customer’s TELUS account and to ensure that TELUS can communicate with the Customer about account related items on a timely basis.

9. Arbitration.

9.1 TELUS and the Customer shall use mediation and arbitration, as set out below, to resolve disputes as between themselves arising from or relating to the Services or this Agreement, whether the dispute is based in contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or otherwise.

9.2 If the business representatives of the parties hereto have not been able to resolve any such dispute, in order to proceed with the dispute resolution process, a party must submit the dispute to private and confidential mediation before a single mediator. If mediation does not assist in resolving the dispute, in order to proceed with the dispute, a party must then submit the dispute to private and confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator. The mediator and the arbitration shall not be the same individual.

9.3 The above mediation and arbitration shall take place in the city and Province in the Customer’s billing address in the CSA under the Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, including its Rules as to initiation and submission of a dispute to mediation and arbitration, appointment of the mediator and any arbitrator, and responsibility for the fees and expenses arising from or relating to mediation and arbitration.

9.4 An arbitration decision shall be final and binding on the parties, and the parties shall have no rights of appeal. Either party may enforce the decision may be enforced via court proceedings.

9.5 This Clause 9 does not apply to TELUS or its agents in respect of their attempts to collect any monies owing to TELUS in relation to the Services or otherwise under this Agreement, or an injunction application by TELUS, except that in the case of an injunction application, the parties shall use mediation and arbitration to resolve the dispute that led to the injunction application. The Customer waives any right it may have to start or participate in, and agrees to opt out of, any class action against TELUS arising from or relating to the Services or this Agreement. Nothing in this Clause 9 restricts or intends to restrict the rights or powers of any administrative authority with jurisdiction over TELUS or the Services.

10. Amendments.

TELUS has the right to amend this Agreement and any terms and conditions contained herein at any time. However, TELUS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Customer, by e-mail or other means, of any such amendments before such amendments become effective. Each time the Customer uses the Services reaffirms the Customer’s acceptance of the then-current version of the Agreement. If the Customer does not agree to any amendment to the Agreement, the Customer must immediately cease any use of the Services and notify TELUS of termination in accordance with the Agreement.

The words “including” and “includes” mean “including without limitation” and “includes without limitation”.

TELUS may assign or subcontract all or any part of this Agreement or all or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without notice to or consent of the Customer.

11.5 Force Majeure. TELUS is not responsible for the performance of, or in default of, any obligation or provision of this Agreement if delayed, hindered or prevented by labour disruptions, failure of the networks of other companies, casualties, civil disturbances, law, order of a court or other lawful authority, acts of civil or military authorities, terrorism, accidents, fires, epidemics, natural disasters, or other catastrophes or events beyond TELUS’ reasonable control.

11.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is void, prohibited, or unenforceable, this Agreement is to be construed as if that provision had never been part of this Agreement.

11.7 No Waiver. The failure of the Customer or TELUS to exercise any right under this Agreement, or to insist upon strict or full performance of the obligations under this Agreement, does not constitute a waiver or relinquishment of any provision of this Agreement. To bind a party, any such waiver must be express and in writing signed by that party. The rights of the parties under this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.

11.8 Survival. Provisions of this Agreement that expressly or by their nature extend beyond the termination of this Agreement survive any termination of this Agreement.

11.9 Law. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or contravenes any CRTC order or decision, that provision applies only to the extent permitted by the order or decision. TELUS and the Customer shall comply with all laws applicable to the exercise of their rights and performance of their obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement is subject to and is to be interpreted in accordance with the federal law of Canada and the laws of the Province in the Customer’s billing address in the CSA, without regard to that Province’s choice of law rules. Venue and jurisdiction shall be in that Province.

11.11 Entire Agreement. Any terms and conditions in a purchase order or other similar document issued by the Customer in relation to any Services that are different from or in addition to those in this Agreement do not bind and are rejected by TELUS. This Agreement forms the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all written and oral communications and agreements between the parties concerning the Services made before this Agreement came into effect. Changes to this Agreement must be agreed to in writing and signed by both parties to be effective, except as stated elsewhere in this Agreement.

SUBSECTION B.1 VoIP Services

The Service Terms and Conditions in this Subsection are applicable to the VoIP Services specified in the CSA and govern all use of the VoIP Services, including any web pages or web sites in connection therewith. The VoIP Services apply to all editions of TELUS Business Connect and include phone services through an IP telephone, a soft phone and/or the Mobile Application.

The following sections of this Subsection B.1 do not apply to TELUS Business Connect’s Mobile Edition:

  • Section 3 (Service Demarcation);

  • Section 4 (Internet Protocol Telephony Readiness Assessment);

  • Section 13 (Equipment Return Policy); and

  • Section 15 (Call Recordings).

Furthermore, Subsections B.2, B.3 and B.4 of these Service Terms do not apply the Mobile Edition.

1. Service Description.

1.1 VoIP Services are voice communication services provided over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) by connecting an IP telephony device or application running on a personal computer to the Internet (for example, through the Customer’s local area network (“LAN”)) or by using an application running on the Customer’s mobile device with Internet access (the “Mobile Application”) up to the public switched telephone network (“PSTN”), using one of the following connectivities: (a) through TELUS IP-Networks connectivity; (b) through the Internet; or (c) in conjunction with existing TELUS Business Centrex and individual business line services. The VoIP Services include the use of a self-management web portal that allows for the management of certain aspects of the telephony solution by the Customer (the “Voice Manager” portal).

1.2 The VoIP Services are not guaranteed to be compatible with IP telephony devices or applications that are not expressly certified by TELUS.

1.3 The grants the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license and right to use each VoIP Phone line provided in connection with the VoIP Services exclusively with one individual user under the Customer’s account, subject to all the other terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Customer wants to allow multiple users to use the VoIP Service, the Customer shall need to purchase at least one VoIP Phone line for each user.

1.4 The Customer shall only use devices that are compatible with the VoIP Services. The Customer’s devices and the software that the Customer uses in conjunction with the VoIP Services may have to meet certain TELUS standards and be maintained in certain ways and/or in certain locations in order to access the VoIP Services or for the proper operation of the VoIP Services. Such standards may change from time to time in TELUS’ sole discretion. Unless otherwise advised by TELUS, the Customer is solely responsible for updating and maintaining the Customer’s devices and any software the Customer uses in conjunction with VoIP Services as necessary to meet TELUS’ standards.

2. Service Registration Procedures.

Upon signing up for the VoIP Services and at subsequent times as requested by TELUS, the Customer agrees to provide to TELUS with its true, accurate, current, and complete personal name or business name, administrator name, billing address, shipping address, the addresses where the VoIP Services shall primarily be used, 911 registered address for each VoIP Phone line, e-mail address, contact phone number, credit card information, and other data which may be necessary to administer its VoIP Services profile (collectively, “ Registration Data”). The Customer represents and warrants that the Registration Data it provides is accurate, current, and complete, and agrees to promptly update any of the Registration Data if it changes. If the Customer provides Registration Data that is, or that TELUS suspects to be, false, inaccurate, not current, incomplete, fraudulent, or otherwise unlawful, TELUS has the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately suspend or terminate the VoIP Services and refuse any and all current or future use of all VoIP Services by the Customer.

3. Service Demarcation.

For VoIP Services accessed through TELUS IP networks connectivity, the VoIP Services point of demarcation is the IP-Networks customer interface unit (“ CIU”). For VoIP Services accessed through the Internet, the point of demarcation is at the interconnection between the TELUS network and the public Internet. For VoIP Services used in conjunction with existing TELUS Business Centrex and individual business line services, the points of demarcation are the interconnection between the TELUS network and the public Internet and the interconnection between the TELUS network and the PSTN.

4. Internet Protocol Telephony Readiness Assessment.

An IP telephony readiness assessment, conducted by TELUS on a time and material basis, is strongly recommended prior to TELUS’ provisioning VoIP Services. The IP telephony readiness assessment determines whether the applicable portion of the Customer’s network is capable of supporting the minimum requirements for the provision of VoIP Services. Any costs associated with upgrading the Customer’s network infrastructure, connectivity or related charges resulting from such assessment are the sole responsibility of the Customer.

5. Moves, Adds and Changes.

5.1 The Customer may, from time to time, order additional VoIP Phone lines, VoIP Phone optional services, or request moves, adds and changes (collectively “MAC”) in respect of VoIP Services by contacting TELUS.

5.2 The Customer may also perform self-service activities on the Voice Manager portal, including maintaining user passwords and PINs and telephone assignment.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that certain MACs may necessitate changes by the Customer to its network and connectivity and those changes may impact the delivery interval.

6. Customer Responsibilities.

6.1 VoIP Services do not include any connectivities to access the VoIP Services. The Customer must supply, or contract separately with TELUS to obtain, appropriate connectivities, as well as for the telephony device or application necessary to use TELUS VoIP Services. VoIP Services do not include any specific guarantee of Quality of Service (“QoS”). When VoIP Services are provided through TELUS IP-Networks connectivity, the Customer must request by separate agreement that such TELUS IP-Network connectivity is configured with options and configuration to support VoIP Services in order to have QoS on the VoIP Services. The Customer further acknowledges that the VoIP Services shall not ensure any level of QoS when the Customer accesses the VoIP Services on another network (e.g., through another Internet connection or a cellular network). The Customer shall ensure that its network and connectivity meet the minimum requirements for VoIP Services given their service usage levels. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that failure to ensure that its network and connectivity continue to meet the minimum requirements for VoIP Services may impact the quality of VoIP Services.

6.2 When VoIP Services are provided through TELUS IP-Network connectivity, the Customer shall be responsible for obtaining, at its own expense, all access rights, authorizations or consents from third parties required to enable TELUS to install and maintain the Services at Customer site, which is at the Service Address indicated in the pricing section of the CSA. The Customer must grant TELUS safe and timely access to its premises in order to allow TELUS to perform the Services.

6.3 The Customer shall, at its cost, prepare the Customer site for the installation of VoIP Services in accordance with TELUS’ reasonable instructions. This includes upgrading any Customer network infrastructure components in response to any TELUS specified concerns in the IP telephony readiness assessment and providing all equipment, software and services on the Customer’s side of the point of demarcation necessary for use or used in conjunction with VoIP Services. The Customer is responsible for any additional installation costs incurred by TELUS as a result of the Customer’s failure to comply with such instructions. Changes in the environment or location of any Service Components at the Customer site shall require the prior written consent of TELUS.

6.4 When VoIP Services are provided through TELUS IP-Network connectivity, the Customer must maintain a router to host certain static routes relevant to the VoIP Services.

6.5 For each Service assigned, TELUS shall provide the Customer with Voice Manager portal access and the Customer may configure user IDs and passwords. Certain activities must be performed by TELUS and shall not be available on the Voice Manager portal and may be subject to additional charges.

6.6 The Customer shall:

(a) maintain the security of its user IDs, passwords, PINs, security questions and answers, and similar security safeguards of the VoIP Services;

(b) be responsible for the actions of any party using the VoIP Services or the user IDs and passwords assigned to the Customer, including the use of the Voice Manager portal, whether such actions are authorized or unauthorized; and

(c) immediately notify TELUS of any unauthorized use of the Customer’s account or of any other breach of security, and shall provide reasonable assistance to TELUS, as requested, to stop or remedy any breach of security.

6.7 In no event shall TELUS or any Authorized Service Provider or their respective Affiliates be liable for any unauthorized use of the Customer’s account.

6.8 The Customer shall designate a representative as the Customer’s administrator. The administrator shall be authorized to provide TELUS with instructions, orders, authorizations and other directions, on behalf of the Customer, as detailed in these Service Terms. The administrator shall be TELUS’ point of contact for all notices and communications to the Customer relating to VoIP Services.

7. Customer Representations and Warranties.

The Customer represents and warrants that:

(a) Customer has access to, and shall maintain access to at all times, wireless or traditional wireline telephone service that shall enable it to call 911 and any other applicable emergency service number;

(b) Customer shall not use, and shall ensure its users do not use, the VoIP Services in environments requiring fail-safe performance or in which the failure of the VoIP Services could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environment damage;

(c) the Registration Data, user name, contact information, location information, and all other information provided in connection with its account are true and correct at all times; and

(d) Customershall not use, and shall ensure its users do not use, the VoIP Services in violation of the Use Policy herein or applicable law and regulations.

8. Transfer Authorization.

By entering into these Service Terms, the Customer authorizes TELUS to make the necessary modification with its former carrier to transfer the local phone numbers specified in the Agreement. Customer also authorizes TELUS to have its former carrier transfer or disconnect these phone numbers. The transfer of the local phone numbers can cause a temporary interruption of the Services. The Customer shall sign any authorizations required by other companies in order for TELUS to provide the Services.

9. Restrictions and Service Limitations.

9.1 VoIP Services shall be reserved strictly for the Customer's internal use. Customer's internal use may include the use of the VoIP Services by the Customer’s Affiliates, provided that the Customer remains solely responsible towards TELUS for the use and payment of the charges for all Services provided to such Affiliates. These activities may be subject to obligations imposed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (“CRTC”) from time to time.

9.2 VoIP Services are intended for general business use of the Customer only. They are not designed, manufactured, intended, or recommended for use or resale as equipment or services in environments requiring fail-safe performance (e.g. emergency medical care, hazardous activities) or in which the failure of the Services could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage. TELUS specifically disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for high risk activities or services.

9.3 In addition, the VoIP Services are not intended for use as a repository or means by which to store information that falls within the definition of “personal health information” (“PHI”), as defined under the Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 (Ontario) (“PHIPA”) on a non-temporary basis, and TELUS specifically disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for use of the software applications or Service for such purpose. Furthermore, the VoIP Services are not intended for use by any entity that falls within the definition of “health information custodian” or “agent” under PHIPA, or is otherwise subject to PHIPA (a “PHIPA-covered entity”) as a means by which to transmit, receive, or store PHI. TELUS specifically disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for use of the software applications or VoIP Services by a PHIPA-covered entity to transmit, receive, or store PHI.

9.4 The Customer shall not use VoIP Services to bypass toll charges, usage based service charges (e.g., 1-900 and 411 charges) or other long distance charges. Except where expressly identified as being included with VoIP Service, toll charges, usage-based service charges, and other long distance charges are the responsibility of the Customer and are payable in addition to the charges for VoIP Services.

9.5 Other than 911 and 411 as specified in this Agreement, the availability of other N11 calling (e.g. 311, 511 and other N11 calling) varies by location and the VoIP Services may not support other N11 calling.

9.6 In providing VoIP Services and the Mobile Application, TELUS makes no representations or warranties with respect to (a) the availability or security of the Customer’s network connected to the Internet or any computers, software, hardware, devices, networks, or components under Customer’s possession, custody or control other than those provided in connection with the VoIP Services; or (b) any third party wireless network or services used by the Customer (collectively, “Customer Components”). The Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for the availability and security of its network that is connected to the Internet or Customer Components. When VoIP Services and the Mobile Application are provided through the Internet or through use of Customer Components, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that the performance of the VoIP Services and the Mobile Application may vary based on the quality on the Internet connectivity, including any cellular network used by the Customer to access the Internet, or the use of any Customer Components.

9.7 Where TELUS has assisted in problem determination and TELUS has determined that a service outage or other problem was not caused by TELUS, TELUS may bill the Customer for such assistance. TELUS shall provide the Customer with reasonable problem determination assistance before any such assistance becomes billable. TELUS shall advise the Service administrator that there may be billable charges prior to beginning any billable work.

10. Use Policies.

10.1 The restrictions set forth in this Clause 10 constitute the “Use Policy”. TELUS reserves the right to add to, modify or amend this Use Policy at any time for any reason at its sole discretion.

10.2 The Customer shall not, and shall ensure its users do not, use the VoIP Services for any illegal, fraudulent, improper, or abusive purpose or in any way that: (a) interferes with TELUS’ or its Authorized Service Providers’ ability to provide high quality VoIP Services to other customers, (b) prevents or restricts other customers from using the VoIP Services, or (c) damages any TELUS’, its Authorized Service Providers’, or other customers' property or TELUS’ network.

11. 911 Calls.

11.1 Definitions.

In these Service Terms and Conditions:

(a) “ Automatic Location Identification” or “ALI” functionality ensures that a 9-1-1 caller’s name, telephone number (listed or unlisted), address, type of service and other pertinent information is downloaded from an incumbent local exchange carrier’s (“ILEC”) database and automatically transferred to the PSAP along with each incoming 911 call.

(b) “ Automatic Number Identification” or “ANI” functionally ensures that a 911 caller’s telephone number (listed or unlisted) is automatically transferred to the PSAP along with each incoming 911 call.

(c) “ Basic 911 service” refers to the routing of 911 calls to a designated PSAP for connection by a PSAP agent to the required emergency services agency. Basic 911 service:

(i) may provide the PSAP with the caller’s telephone number,

(ii) does not provide the PSAP with the caller’s location information, and

(iii) is effective only if the caller communicates his/her location to the PSAP.

(d) “ Enhanced 911 service” or “E911 service” refers to the capabilities provided by Basic 911 service and additional features and capabilities (when available) including Automatic Number Identification, Automatic Location Identification and call control features, which usually include called party hold, ringback calling party, and disconnect signal.

(e) “ Public Safety Answering Point” or “PSAP” refers to a specialized emergency call answer centre for all 911 calls within a specific geographic area.

11.2 General.

(a) In order to avoid the effect of certain limitations of VoIP Services, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for, and has been advised by TELUS to implement, at the Customer’s cost, emergency backup systems which may include analog backup telephone lines, cellular telephones, and a universal power supply (UPS) system, and training to ensure that end users are aware of alternate public switched telephone network access is available in the event of a failure of a call to, or inability to call, 911 using VoIP Services.

(b) For VoIP Service provided through IP telephones, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that the functionality of 911 services is dependent on the IP telephone on the Customer side of the point of service demarcation remaining, both physically and logically, in the location where it was initially installed. If the IP telephone is physically or logically moved, the Customer shall notify TELUS of the move and provide TELUS with the details of the new location.

(c) Calls to 911 originated from the web portal are supported but not recommended as the location information associated with a call to 911 shall be the location of IP telephone the remote extension is associated with.

11.3 911 Charges.

(a) In the municipalities in which 911 services is available, 911 taxes can apply and shall be added to the unit price for each unit of Service.

(b) In additional to any municipal taxes, TELUS shall charge to the Customer the 911 Network Access Fee imposed by incumbent voice service provided responsible to maintain access to 911 facilities, as described in the applicable tariff of such voice service provider.

11.4 Calls to 911.

(a) Through the Mobile Application:

(i) The Mobile Application transfers calls to 911 to the mobile device’s native dialer whenever possible. The 911 service provided by the mobile service provider for the mobile device will be used if it is available.

(ii) When native mobile voice service is not available (or not supported, for example, on tablets), but Wi-Fi or mobile wireless data is available, the Mobile Application will follow the process outlined below.

(b) Through IP Telephones, Softphones or the Mobile Application on Wi-Fi:

(i) The VoIP Services’ 911 service has certain limitations relative to Enhanced 911 service that is available with traditional telephone service.

(i) Unlike Enhanced 911 service, when a call is made to the 3-digit emergency telephone number 911 using the VoIP Services, the caller’s physical location must be verbally provided in order to connect the caller to the correct PSAP.

(iii) When a call is made to 911 using VoIP Services, TELUS routes the call to a TELUS operator. The TELUS operator attempts to confirm the physical location of the caller. In order to connect the caller with the correct PSAP, the caller must provide the caller’s physical location to the TELUS operator.

(iv) Once the caller provides the TELUS operator with the physical location, the TELUS operator connects the caller to the appropriate PSAP. The caller must provide the PSAP with the calling telephone number and physical location in order for the PSAP to dispatch any required emergency services to the correct physical location. The caller shall stay on the line with the TELUS operator and the PSAP unless otherwise instructed.

11.5 Non-availability of VoIP Services.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that calls to 911 using VoIP Services shall not function in certain instances.

(a) If there is a power failure or disruption:

11.6 Network Congestion.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) there is a greater possibility of network congestion or reduced speed in the routing of a call to 911 using VoIP Services as compared to dialing 911 over traditional public switched telephone networks, and

(b) as a result, calls to 911 may take longer to reach PSAPs or local emergency services providers than in the case of calls to 911 over traditional public switched telephone networks.

11.7 Customer Acknowledgement.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised by TELUS that making calls to the 3-digit emergency telephone number 911 using VoIP Services may differ from calling 911 over traditional public switched telephone networks.

13.4 IP phones and other devices shall include a one-year warranty starting from the date of purchase by the Customer.

14. Number Portability and Availability.

14.1 TELUS shall use reasonable efforts to facilitate number transfers or port requests for the Customer, provided that the Customer complies with the necessary and specific procedures for porting between service providers.

14.2 The Customer acknowledges and understands that number porting depends on the cooperation of third parties outside of TELUS’ control. Accordingly, the Customer agrees that TELUS and its Authorized Service Providers and their respective Affiliates shall 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 unauthorized porting of any telephone number by a third party.

14.3 TELUS works with third party carriers who, on TELUS’ behalf, port telephone numbers in accordance with applicable regulatory rules and industry guidelines. TELUS’ third-party carriers require very specific and detailed information and requirements when completing a port request. Please be informed that TELUS shall be required to provide such detailed and specific information to complete a port request. For porting numbers into the Customers’ account, the Customer must follow the procedures on its account settings page for transferring a number to its account.

20.3 In addition, the VoIP Services are not intended for use as a repository or means by which to store any of the following on a non-temporary basis, and TELUS specifically disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for use of the VoIP Services for such purpose: (a) “personal health information,” as defined under PHIPA, (b) “personal information,” “personal health information,” “health information,” or equivalent terms as defined under applicable privacy laws of Canada or any province thereof, or (c) any other category of information regulated by any healthcare, data privacy, or data security law, regulation, or code of Canada or any other country, state, province, or political subdivision (collectively for the purposes of this Clause, “PHI”). Furthermore, the VoIP Services are not intended for use by any entity that falls within the definition of “health information custodian” or “agent” under PHIPA or equivalent terms as defined under applicable privacy laws of Canada or any province thereof, or any other category of entity regulated by any healthcare information, data privacy, or data security law, regulation, or code (a “Healthcare Information Law Covered Entity”).

20.7 No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by the Customer from TELUS, its Authorized Service Providers, or their respective employees, resellers, partners, or Affiliates or through or from the VoIP Services shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these terms and conditions.

20.8 Although TELUS employs reasonable efforts to ensure that voice-mails and fax transmissions are secure, TELUS makes no guarantees of security.

20.9 Some jurisdictions do not permit the disclaimer of certain implied warranties, so certain of the foregoing disclaimers may not apply. To the extent that TELUS cannot disclaim any such warranty as a matter of applicable laws, the scope and duration of such warranty shall be the minimum permitted under such laws.

Internet speeds and signal strength may vary with a Customer’s configuration, internet traffic, server, environmental conditions, proximity to central office, or other factors.

7.11 If wireless capabilities of the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services are available and specified in the Agreement, when using the wireless capabilities of the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services to access the Internet or any other online network or service, there are certain risks that may allow other service users or Internet users to gain access to the Customer's computer system or Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services account. The Customer shall take all appropriate security precautions when using such wireless capabilities including encrypting its network, installing a firewall and an anti-virus solution, selecting secure passwords, allowing only pre-approved computers and users on its network, and disabling computer file sharing capabilities when moving its computer outside of its home or office network. TELUS shall not be responsible or liable for any claims, damages, losses or expenses relating to use or misuse of the wireless capabilities of the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services including those resulting from the Customer's use of file sharing, print sharing or other functions that may allow others to gain access to the Customer's computer, network or the contents of its transmissions.

TELUS may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services, including the maximum size of any e-mail message that may be sent from or received by an account, the maximum disk space that shall be allotted on TELUS’ servers on the Customer’s behalf, the maximum amount of data that may be sent from or received by an account and the maximum number of days that e-mail messages shall be stored on TELUS’ servers. Such general practices and limits shall be posted on the Services Website or otherwise made available to the Customer. The Customer shall comply with all such general practices and limits, which may differ for different portions of the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services and may be set at different levels for different users based upon factors that may be determined in TELUS’ sole discretion. TELUS has the right to change these general practices and limits at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice. If the Customer violates such practices or exceeds such limits, TELUS may suspend, restrict or terminate the Customer’s account, remove any content, information or materials from TELUS' servers, or impose additional charges (additional charges are described on the Services Website).

The Customer is solely responsible for determining whether the access numbers the Customer is using are subject to any additional or long distance charges and the Customer agrees to pay all such charges, including those that may be billed to the Customer by a third party. Information concerning additional and long distance charges is available on the Services Website.

16. Acceptable Use Policy.

The Customer shall at all times comply with the TELUS Acceptable Use Policy (the “AUP”), published at www.telus.com/aup. TELUS may change the AUP at any time, in its sole discretion, and publishing the changed AUP at www.telus.com/aup shall be sufficient notice of the changes to the Customer.

17. Proprietary Rights.

To comply with any law, regulation, court order or other governmental request or order, TELUS may access, preserve and disclose any telecommunications related data or information associated with the Customer’s use of the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services. TELUS’ rights to disclose under this Subsection shall prevail over the TPC.

19. Service Changes.

19.1 Despite any other provision in this Agreement, in order to maintain or improve the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services or for other business reasons, TELUS may change the charges, plan features, e-mail addresses and minimum systems requirements, the AUP, the TPC, any content on the Services Website, and any other aspect of the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services at any time, without notice or liability, in TELUS' sole discretion.

By continuing to use the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services after receipt of a bill or statement reflecting the change in the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services plan requested by the Customer, the Customer is deemed to have accepted the new Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services plan.

21. Termination.

21.1 In addition to TELUS’ rights in Section A.

21.2 TELUS shall have no responsibility to notify any third party (including any third party providers of services, merchandise or information) of any suspension, restriction or termination of the Customer's account. If the Customer's account is terminated, TELUS shall have no obligation to forward any unread or unsent messages to the Customer or any third party or to maintain any messages, information or other content related to the Customer's account and the Customer acknowledges that all such messages, information and content may be immediately deleted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon termination of the Customer’s account, all e-mail and web page addresses related to its account may be immediately deleted or reassigned to other customers. TELUS' policies regarding handling of customer e-mails upon suspension and termination of customer accounts can be found on the Services Website.

21.3 The Customer shall return any TELUS-owned high speed modems, wireless gateways, and associated components to a TELUS approved depot within 14 days after termination of its Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services account, unless otherwise directed by TELUS. If the Customer does not return such equipment in accordance with the foregoing, if such equipment is returned damaged, or if the Customer has assigned, encumbered, sold, transferred or leased such equipment, the Customer shall pay a $99.95 CDN charge, plus applicable taxes. The location of TELUS approved depots can be obtained by contacting TELUS via the contact information set out in the CSA.

21.4 The Customer may terminate some or all of the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services or this Agreement at any time by giving at least 30 days’ advance notice to TELUS. If the Customer is a small business under Broadcasting and Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2014-576, the Customer may terminate some or all of the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Services or this Agreement by giving notice to TELUS, and termination of such Unmanaged High Speed Internet Service shall be effective when TELUS receives the notice or, if the Unmanaged High Speed Internet Service requires disconnection and porting to another service provider, upon disconnection.

SUBSECTION B.4 OPTIONAL MOBILITY SERVICES

The Service Terms and Conditions in this Subsection apply if Mobility Services are included in the TELUS Business Connect bundle specified in the CSA. If the Mobility Services are specified in the CSA, the Service Terms and Conditions contained in this Subsection form part of the Agreement.

1. Service Description.

1.1 Mobility Services provide the Customer with wireless voice and data services within the TELUS mobility coverage area and includes Wi Fi Internet access service where available through TELUS’ wireless network access points.

1.2 The Customer and TELUS shall not have a binding agreement solely with respect to the provision of Mobility Services until TELUS has activated the wireless devices on TELUS’ network.

2. Interpretation.

In these Service Terms, “ equipment” means all equipment (including phones, smartphones, pagers, SIMs, and modems or any other type of wireless telecommunications device) used in connection with the Mobility Services. “SIM” means subscriber identity module.

3. Charges and Payment.

All Mobility Services use and access fees and other charges, including taxes, are due and payable as specified by TELUS on invoices to the Customer or the person or company paying the bill or as otherwise arranged with the Customer by TELUS. Charges shall be deemed to be correct if not disputed by the Customer within 30 days after the invoice date. The Customer’s Mobility Services use, access fees and other charges shall continue until the Mobility Services are terminated. If the Customer changes its residence from one province to another, a different TELUS rate plan may apply to the Mobility Services. If the Customer’s equipment is lost, stolen or damaged, the Customer must pay all monthly and other charges for the use of the Mobility Services up to the time that TELUS is properly notified. Any credit balance less than or equal to $5 at the time of cancellation of the Customer’s TELUS account for the Mobility Services shall not be refunded to the Customer. A returned payment administration fee shall be charged on the Customer’s next invoice for any payments not honoured by a financial institution or credit card company. The airtime used for each voice call is rounded up to the nearest minute, unless the Customer’s rate plan or feature provides otherwise. The airtime used for each voice call includes (a) for calls the Customer makes, the time between the Customer’s initiation of the call, by pressing the “ Send” button, and the disconnection of the call, and (b) for calls the Customer receives, the time between the moment the call connects to TELUS’ network, including call set-up and ring time, and the disconnection of the call. Local calling airtime is used for all long distance and roaming calls, and is charged in accordance with the Customer’s rate plan. Long distance charges apply to all calls received while the Customer is outside the Customer’s local calling area. The Customer may also incur long distance charges while making a call within a local calling area, as a result of signal propagation in border regions. Data charges are billed per session in increments of 1 kilobyte (20 kilobytes for roaming outside Canada and the United States), with a minimum monthly amount of 1 MB, unless the Customer’s rate plan or feature provides otherwise. Protocol headers and user data are both counted as data usage. TELUS may bill the Customer exclusively by posting the Customer’s invoice on the Internet. If TELUS bills the Customer through Internet posting, the Customer agrees that (c) the Customer shall receive the Customer’s bill, and applicable late payment charges shall begin to accrue, when TELUS posts the Customer’s bill online at the website specified in the notice, and (d) the Customer waives pre-notification of the amounts and dates of debits from the Customer’s account.

4. Term and Termination.

4.1 The Mobility Services shall be provided on a month to month basis unless a Commitment Period is specified in the CSA. If a Commitment Period is specified, the Customer may contact TELUS to extend the Commitment Period. During the Commitment Period, TELUS shall confirm any extension by providing an extension notice (“Extension Notice”) and may change the charges or any other terms and conditions of the Agreement by giving the Customer notice of the changes in the Extension Notice. In the event of an extension, any reference in the Agreement to “Commitment Period” is deemed to include any “Renewal Commitment Period” or extension period noted in the Extension Notice. Continued use of the Mobility Services by the Customer shall be deemed acceptance of the extension and any changes its terms and conditions. With respect to Mobility Services, the Agreement shall remain in effect until the end of any Renewal Commitment Period or extension period noted in the Extension Notice, or on a month to month basis if none is noted, unless terminated by the Customer or TELUS providing 30 days’ prior notice (or such other notice period set out in the Extension Notice).

4.2 At the end of the Commitment Period, unless otherwise included in this Agreement, the Mobility Services shall continue on a month to month basis, until the Customer notifies TELUS that it wishes to terminate the Mobility Services. Current TELUS terms and conditions shall apply to the month to month Service. Any optional features that are not part of the Customer’s rate plan shall be billed at the TELUS current monthly rate. Promotional features shall not be renewed. If the Customer’s rate plan is no longer available, TELUS shall use the nearest current rate plan to continue provision of the Mobility Services.

4.3 If the Customer cancels this Agreement before the end of the Commitment Period or if the Customer violates this Agreement, for instance by not making payments, the Customer must pay a fee equal to the amount left on its device balance for Business Connect Mobile devices and if before paying the full purchase price, the remaining balance shall be charged for any easy pay devices. The Customer shall still be responsible for any unpaid charges for using the Mobility Services. The Customer may cancel the Mobility Services by contacting TELUS toll free at 1-866-558-2273 or from its device at *611 (a free call). The Customer may suspend the Mobility Services at no cost if its phone is lost or stolen.

5. Deposit.

5.1 Under certain circumstances, TELUS may require a security deposit from the Customer. If a deposit is required and the Customer’s TELUS account is kept current for the required time, TELUS shall return the deposit to the Customer by applying the deposited amount to the Customer’s TELUS account. Otherwise, TELUS shall refund the deposit to the Customer (subject to Clause 3 above) upon cancellation of the Customer’s TELUS account, retaining only the amount then owed by the Customer. TELUS may apply the deposit to amounts owing by the Customer for the Services under this Agreement or any other agreement. If the deposit is applied in whole or in part to pay an overdue account, the Customer must replenish the deposit within 10 business days after the date appearing on the notice informing the Customer of the payment.

5.2 If the Customer provided a security deposit in order to get postpaid service, the deposit shall be returned after one year of continuous on-time payments and otherwise when the Mobility Services are cancelled. TELUS is entitled to deduct overdue amounts from the security deposit. TELUS shall pay interest on the deposit when it is returned equal to the Bank of Canada prime rate plus one percent.

6. Use of the Services.

The Customer shall use the Mobility Services in compliance with the law and with all Mobility Service rules adopted by TELUS from time to time, including safe driving and health and safety guidelines. The Customer shall use the Mobility Services for customary voice, messaging and wireless mobile Internet usage purposes only, which specifically exclude the use of the Mobility Services for: voice over Internet protocol, continuous data transmission or broadcasts, automatic data feeds or automated machine to machine connections; or any other application which uses excessive network capacity or may otherwise adversely impact other clients or the Mobility Services. The Customer shall not use the Mobility Services to: transmit or send any annoying, inappropriate, improper, excessive, threatening or obscene material or to otherwise harass, offend, threaten, embarrass, distress or invade the privacy of any individual or entity; engage in any activity that could compromise the security of or disrupt or interfere with the Mobility Services or any network or computers on the Internet or disrupt or interfere with the services of any Internet access provider. The foregoing are examples of types of use that constitute abuse of the Mobility Services. The area in which TELUS provides the Mobility Services may be enlarged or reduced in scope from time to time at TELUS’ discretion. To maintain or improve the Mobility Services, or for other business reasons, TELUS may make changes to TELUS’ networks and other facilities, and may suspend, restrict, or modify the Mobility Services without notice to the Customer. TELUS may terminate the Mobility Services upon reasonable advance notice if TELUS ceases to operate the network facilities used for the Mobility Services.

7. APPLE iPhone Terms and Conditions (includes Apple and third party terms and conditions).

7.1 Use of iPhone constitutes acceptance of iPhone terms and conditions and other third party terms and conditions found in the iPhone box or at:

(a) http://www.apple.com/legal/sla; and

(b) http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/ca/terms.html#SALES.

7.2 If the Customer disagrees with the above referred terms and conditions, the Customer may return the phone in accordance with TELUS return policy. An iPhone purchased from a TELUS authorized dealer is TELUS network compatible only.

8. Rate Plan Changes.

8.1 During the Term, TELUS shall not increase the Customer’s monthly plan rate for the Mobility Services or decrease the number of minutes included in the Customer’s monthly plan without the Customer’s consent. However, TELUS may change other terms, including charges for pay-per-use and optional services, upon thirty days’ notice. Such changes shall apply after 30 days after the effective date in the notice and continued use of the Mobility Services by the Customer shall be deemed Customer acceptance of the changes. Where Mobility Services are an optional service added to TELUS Business Connect selected by the Customer as specified in the CSA, the Customer may change the monthly rate plan to increase the Customer’s monthly commitment at any time during the Term subject to the specific conditions and availability of the other monthly rate plan by submitting a request to TELUS via the contact information set out in the CSA. After the first six months of the Term, the Customer may change the monthly rate plan to decrease the Customer’s monthly commitment, subject to the specific conditions and availability of the other monthly rate plan, by submitting a request to TELUS via the contact information set out in the CSA at any time. For any such change after the first six months of the Term, a $25 administration fee shall apply for each change.

8.2 If the Customer received a discount on its device by agreeing to a minimum monthly spend, the Customer may choose a smaller rate plan provided the Customer pays half of the device balance as listed on the Customer’s bill.

9. Warranties.

9.1 TELUS networks are able to support a wide range of equipment. However, not all equipment shall work on all TELUS networks. Please refer to the warranty statement provided with the Customer’s equipment. Any unauthorized activity including unlocking or tampering with the Customer’s equipment or adding unauthorized third party software or applications (“unauthorized activity”) shall void warranties and may change the Customer’s experience of the Mobility Services.

9.2 New devices purchased under this Agreement are covered by a warranty, guaranteeing ordinary use for a reasonable period, and by the manufacturer’s warranty, which is found in the packaging for the device and generally covers repairs required to fix defects for up to a year. IP phones and other devices shall include a one year warranty starting from the date of purchase by the Customer.

10. Roaming.

Roaming services are available on compatible equipment where technology permits. When roaming outside of TELUS' service area, the Customer is responsible for all applicable charges, and is subject to the terms and conditions of service (including limitations of liability) imposed by the wireless service provider providing the roaming services. TELUS and other wireless service providers who provide roaming services may make changes to the roaming services, networks or other facilities and may enlarge, reduce or change roaming coverage areas, without notice. The Customer may incur roaming charges while still within TELUS coverage areas, as a result of signal propagation in border areas. The Customer shall not be responsible for paying applicable charges for previously unbilled roaming charges if they are not billed within 150 days after the date they were incurred. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that unwanted content and services may be provided to the Customer without notification while roaming. TELUS shall only charge the Customer for content and services the Customer uses. Emergency services numbers such as 911 and many special numbers such as 411 are country specific. Dialing these numbers while roaming outside of Canada may not result in the desired service. It is the Customer’s responsibility to look up and use country specific numbers while roaming outside of Canada. TELUS is not liable for not directing these numbers to the appropriate service while the Customer is roaming outside of Canada.

11. Enhanced 911 Service.

Where available, Enhanced 911 service allows emergency operators to provide better assistance to Customers calling 911 from their mobile phones. It provides emergency operators with more specific information about the Customer’s location and displays the Customer’s mobile phone number to emergency operators. TELUS does not provide 911 operator services. TELUS provides routing of 911 calls to the closest emergency service access point, and these are maintained by local government agencies. If there is no access point serving the area where the Customer makes a 911 call, the Customer shall not have 911 operator services. For more information on the availability, limitations and characteristics of wireless e911 service and handsets, please visit http://www.telus.com/en/on/get-help/services/calling-services/e911/calling-e911/support.do?&eVar35=http://www.telus.com/en/get-help/services/calling-services/e911/calling-e911/support.do.

12. Customer’s Account, Equipment and Online Services.

12.1 The Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all login names and passwords used to access the Customer’s account through TELUS’ web-based account management portal and for all uses of the account management portal, by anyone using the log-in names and passwords. The Customer shall protect the Customer’s equipment against loss, unauthorized use, theft or damage. If the Customer’s equipment is no longer in the Customer’s possession due to loss or theft or if the Customer suspects unauthorized use, the Customer must contact TELUS so that steps may be taken to prevent or cease unauthorized use of the Customer’s equipment. TELUS may, in its sole discretion, alter, limit or delete any part of the online services at any time. Although TELUS may change the timing from time to time without notice, TELUS currently intends to delete: (a) items that are in the Customer’s “Deleted Items” folder for more than seven days; (b) items that are in the Customer’s “Sent Items” folder for more than 30 days; and (c) accounts to which the Customer has not logged on for 90 consecutive days. TELUS is not responsible for any act or omission of any third party service, application or content providers.

12.2 The Customer shall only use devices that are compatible with Mobility Services. The Customer’s devices, and software the Customer uses in conjunction with Mobility Services, may have to meet certain TELUS standards and be maintained in certain ways in certain locations in order to access Mobility Services or for the proper operation of Mobility Services. Such standards may change from time to time in TELUS’ sole discretion. Unless otherwise advised by TELUS, the Customer is solely responsible for updating and maintaining the Customer’s devices and any software the Customer uses in conjunction with Mobility Services as necessary to meet TELUS’ standards.

12.3 TELUS may change the software, features and settings on equipment including through “over-the-air” or other means. The Customer agrees that TELUS can perform the foregoing activities as required and without notice. While such activities are undertaken, Mobility Services shall not be available and TELUS shall employ reasonable efforts to complete such work at times that shall cause the least inconvenience.

12.4 The Customer shall not (and shall not permit anyone other than a TELUS authorized person to) reproduce, alter, adjust, repair or tamper with any signalling, identification (including but not limited to the MIN, ESN, APN, MEID, IMEI, IMSI, MSISDN, domain name and other numbers or authentication information) or transmission function or component of any equipment or other device used on or in connection with the Mobility Services.

13. Content.

TELUS has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor or log any TELUS Internet site or use of the Mobility Services. The Customer consents to any such monitoring and logging that is necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or other government request, or to enhance operating efficiencies, improve service levels, assess client satisfaction, or protect TELUS or its clients from unwanted use of certain services or applications. TELUS reserves the right to delete, remove or block access to any Internet capability, content, information or third party products or services available or transmitted through the Mobility Services that TELUS, in its sole discretion, believes is unacceptable or in violation of these Service Terms. The Customer grants TELUS and TELUS’ service providers a world-wide, royalty-free, unrestricted license to use, copy, adapt, transmit, display and perform, distribute and create compilations and derivative works from, any and all user content the Customer elects to create or post in connection with the Mobility Services, solely as required for TELUS to provide the Mobility Services. The Customer acknowledges that TELUS may store the Customer’s user content on TELUS’ or TELUS’ service providers’ facilities for the purposes of the Customer accessing such content, or others that the Customer wishes to have access such content, but that if such user content is not accessed within a period of not less than 30 days after the last access unless the Customer is informed otherwise or if the Mobility Services terminate, TELUS may delete such user content without notice to the Customer. If the Customer upgrades or replaces equipment, user content including pictures, contacts, music, screensavers, games and ringtones may not be capable of being transferred to the other equipment.

14. Limitation of Liability - Emergency Services.

The liability of TELUS for damages caused by negligence on the part of TELUS in the provision of mandatory emergency services, except in cases where such negligence results in physical injury, death or damage to Customer's property or premises, or where such damages are caused by the deliberate fault, gross negligence, anti-competitive conduct, or breach of contract resulting from gross negligence, on the part of TELUS, is limited to $20.

15. CRTC Wireless Code.

The CRTC is responsible for regulating telecommunications companies in Canada. The CRTC has created a Wireless Code that applies to wireless service, which each Customer can consult at crtc.gc.ca/wirelesscode. To make a complaint under the Wireless Code, the Customer can contact the Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services at 1-888-221-1687.

16. Device Unlocking.

New wireless devices purchased from TELUS can only be used with TELUS service for the first ninety days. After ninety days, if the Customer is in good credit standing, the wireless device can be unlocked for a $50 fee.

17. Contacting TELUS.

The Customer can reach TELUS at any time, toll-free at 1-866-558-2273 or from the Customer’s wireless device at *611 (a free call) or on Twitter @TELUSSupport. To manage the Customer’s wireless account online visit telus.com/my-telus.

18. Trial Period.

TELUS has a customer satisfaction guarantee. If the Customer is not satisfied with its wireless device or the Mobility Services, the Customer may return the wireless device for a full refund and cancel the Mobility Services within 15 days after the start of the Commitment Period. Cancellation fees do not apply unless the Customer has used more than 50 voice minutes or 50 text messages or 50 megabytes of data. The wireless device must be returned in near new condition with the original packaging to TELUS. If the Customer is a person with a disability, this trial period is extended to thirty days and the usage limits are doubled.

19. Managing the Services.

The Customer has unlimited access to the Mobility Services, but additional pay per use charges shall apply once the Customer has exhausted the allowable usage included in the rate plan subscribed to by the Customer. TELUS provides Customers with the tools to cap additional data charges. If selected in the CSA by the Customer, each month, TELUS shall send an SMS message to each device that has incurred $50 of additional charges for data use in Canada and $100 of additional charges for international data roaming. The Customer can then continue using data by replying to the SMS to accept further charges. The additional charges shall be calculated using the pay per use rate that applies to the rate plan and service options subscribed to by the Customer.
