After the Services have been requested, you must provide TELUS with a location on your premises to provide access to the Services and allow TELUS to enter your property and premises in order to install, maintain and repair TELUS’ facilities and equipment. You agree to pay any unusual expenses required to extend TELUS’ network facilities to your premises, including the cost of all trenching and backfilling work, poles, conduits and other facilities TELUS requires to extend its network facilities from your property line to the point of access to the Services on your premises, and any expenses incurred to secure rights of way, access and occupancy.
You must supply all facilities and equipment necessary to connect your facilities and equipment to TELUS’ network facilities, including all wiring inside your premises and all set top boxes. All facilities and equipment you supply must meet the technical standards for certification established by Industry Canada.
If you cancel a request for Services after installation work has started, you will be charged the costs incurred for the installation, including the cost of equipment, materials and supplies specifically provided or used for the installation, the cost of labour, fees for engineering design and supervision, and any other expenses resulting from the installation and removal work.
You are responsible for all charges properly billed by TELUS to your account, including charges for all video on demand and pay per view programming ordered from any set top box providing access to the Services, regardless of who ordered such programming. You are responsible for setting and securing a password on your set top box to prevent unauthorized purchases. You may dispute charges for programming you do not believe were ordered from a set top box providing access to the Services.
You may only use the Services at your premises for private home viewing at the residence you have provided as your service address. You may not redistribute or publicly display any portion of the Services, or use the Services for any commercial purpose. You may not attempt to circumvent any encryption technique or other copy protection method used to restrict access to programming on the Services. You may not directly or indirectly charge any person for the use of the Services, or re-arrange, disconnect, remove, repair, or otherwise interfere with any TELUS facilities or equipment. You may not use the Services in any way that interferes with the ability of other customers to use services provided by TELUS fairly and proportionately, and TELUS may, at any time, limit the use of any Services in order to prevent such interference. TELUS may require you to change or disconnect any of the facilities or equipment at your premises providing access to the Services if they interfere in any way with the Services or the operation of the facilities or equipment used by TELUS to deliver the Services. You also agree not to threaten, abuse or harass any TELUS customer representative.
d) Fees and Other Charges
The Services are provided to you subject to payment of all applicable service rates and any additional charges identified to you at the time you applied for the Services or otherwise in accordance with these Service Terms, including installation and activation fees, together with all applicable taxes and other government charges. Additional charges authorized by these Service Terms may be charged on a one-time, monthly or per-use basis, as TELUS may determine from time to time. If you use the Services through a mobile application or the internet, charges may apply for data usage under your mobility or internet service plan.
When you charge a third-party purchase (for example an application or an add-on service) to your TELUS account, you authorize TELUS to rely on information we receive from the third party to charge your TELUS account or to apply credits for refunds. If you want to stop any recurring third party payments on your TELUS account, you must do so through that third party. TELUS may be able to assist in stopping payments if you provide us with a copy of the written request sent to the third party.
Any purchases you make from a third party and charge to your TELUS account are subject to the terms and conditions imposed by that third party. TELUS only provides a means of payment, and does not accept any responsibility for the product or service provided. TELUS will pay the third party on your behalf and you must then reimburse TELUS for the entire amount of the charge in the month that it appears on your bill.
Provided there is no deception in order to avoid payment, you are not responsible for paying an unbilled or under-billed portion of a charge unless TELUS correctly bills the charge within one year from the date it was incurred. In these circumstances, TELUS will not charge any interest on the amount of the unbilled or under-billed charge owing until the correct charge has been billed to your account. All charges and credits to your account shall be deemed validly incurred unless you dispute the charge or credit within 90 days after receiving the bill that includes the charge or credit.
The Services include the minimum levels of programming required by Canadian government regulation, called Basics by TELUS. The price for Basics is set out on
TELUS.com
, whether provided on its own (“Basics”) or provided as a separate component in a larger Services package (“Basics Component”). Fixed dollar discounts and promotions that may be offered from time to time will not be applied in any case to reduce the monthly price for either Basics or the Basics Component in any Services package.
You may change your Services at any time. If you received a promotional offer in exchange for maintaining a minimum level of Services, cancellation fees will apply if you downgrade below the minimum. Basics service is not available with any promotional offer and downgrading to Basics after accepting a promotional offer will trigger the associated cancellation fees. Charges for additional recurring monthly Services will be reduced in the first month to reflect the number of days remaining until your next invoice. Pay-per-use Services and one-time charges are applied at the current rates at the time of use, which are available at telus.com and may change without notice.
f) Payment for the Services
All bills are due upon receipt. Bills made available through the internet are received when they are posted. Late payment charges of 3% compounded monthly (42.58% per annum) will be applied if payment is not received by the date shown on the account statement except in the respect of non-forborne services and customers in Quebec which will be subject to a 2% Late Payment charge compounded monthly (26.82% per annum). Administrative and collection charges may apply, in accordance with TELUS rules and policies, if your account goes into arrears, including as a result of returned or rejected payments or your failure to inform TELUS of any change to your account information for pre-authorized payments. A $25 administration fee plus applicable taxes will be charged to your account for each cheque or pre-authorized payment that is refused by your financial institution for insufficient funds. If you subscribe to a pre-authorized payment method, you waive pre-notification of the amounts and dates of debits from your account. TELUS may require you to make interim payments for non-recurring charges you have incurred in the period between two monthly bills, for such Services as are identified to you with the demand for payment. The grace period for the payment of charges so identified expires three days after you receive the demand for payment.
TELUS may require a security deposit from you (i) before the Services are provided, if you do not have a satisfactory credit history with TELUS or do not provide other proof of creditworthiness satisfactory to TELUS, or (ii) at any time this Agreement applies, if you have an unsatisfactory credit rating with TELUS as a result of your payment practices, or (iii) if you clearly present an abnormal risk of loss. TELUS will credit your account monthly with interest on any security deposit required by TELUS, at a rate equal to the rate established on January 1 and July 1 of each year for daily interest savings accounts at a chartered Canadian bank. TELUS may apply any portion of the security deposit against unpaid charges on your account at any time and, upon termination of this Agreement or where the conditions justifying the security deposit no longer apply, will refund any outstanding security deposit, with accrued interest, retaining only the amount then owing on your account.
You are responsible for all use of the Services, including by third parties, even if you have not authorized them to use the Services. You are responsible for controlling access to your Services account. You will indemnify the TELUS Entities against any claim made by a third party in connection with their use of the Services.
You are responsible for any damages to TELUS' facilities or equipment located on your property and premises howsoever caused, including by your use of the property or premises, or by the actions of any person whether authorized or not to be on the property or premises.
