This is an agreement between you and TELUS Communications Inc. ("TELUS").

The Services may also include related services, features or functionality provided through mobile applications.

The Service Terms, together with TELUS rules and policies applying to the use of the Services, form the agreement between you and TELUS for the Services (the "Agreement").

By using the Services you are agreeing to the terms of this Agreement. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE SERVICE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SERVICES. For the purposes of these Service Terms, "you" refers to the person or business whose name appears on the bill.

Amendments to this Agreement

1. TELUS has the right to amend the terms of this Agreement, except for changes to certain Key Contract Terms, including minimum monthly charge, commitment period and cancellation fee (the “Key Contract Terms”), which we will not change without your consent during your commitment period. TELUS may however change the Key Contract Terms during your commitment period without your consent if the change is a reduction of the rate for a single service. If you are not on a commitment period or if your commitment period expired, TELUS reserves the right to make any changes to key terms and will provide you with at least 60 days’ notice before doing so.

TELUS has the right to change terms other than key terms at any time, regardless of whether you are on a commitment period. TELUS will provide you with at least 30 days’ notice for such changes.

TELUS will notify you of amendments to this Agreement by posting notice of the amendment at
telus.com/ServiceTerms
(the "Service Web Site"), or by sending you notice on your monthly bill or email bill notice that this Agreement has been amended, directing to where the amendment may be consulted.

If you have access to the Internet, it is your responsibility to go to the Service Web Site at least once every month in order to become aware of any amendments posted on the site, and you agree to consult any amendments provided to you in accordance with the directions received on your monthly bill or email bill notice. You are not obliged to continue using the Services after an amendment to this Agreement is made; however, in the event you choose not to accept the changes, your sole remedy is to cancel the Services, effective at the end of your current billing period. Cancellation fees may apply. If the change we make increases your obligation or reduces ours, cancellation fees will not apply. Your continued use of the Services following any amendment shall be deemed to be your acceptance of the amended Agreement, waiver of any additional notice requirements and agreement to pay for the Services in accordance with the amended Agreement.

Billing and Payment

6. TELUS may provide you with a monthly bill in electronic format made available to you over the Internet, setting forth the charges incurred for use of the Services. Your monthly bill will be sent in paper form if electronic billing is not made available by TELUS. If TELUS makes your bill available over the Internet, it is your responsibility to create an online account management profile, to subscribe to electronic bill notification, and to check your online account every month for your bills. Regularly recurring charges are billed in advance and charges incurred on a per-use basis are billed in arrears. If your bill is lost or if you do not receive a bill, you are still responsible for making the required payment to TELUS.

7. 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, 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, charges may apply for data usage under your mobility service plan.

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.

8. You may change your Services at any time. 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. If you amend your services and recontract, your previous contract will no longer be valid.

9. All bills are due upon receipt. Bills made available through the internet are received when they are posted. Late payment charges of 2.91% compounded monthly (40.09% 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 $50 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.

Service Limitations

10. The Services offer a variety of service plans and features. Not every feature is available on every service plan. Certain features may require additional information or action from you. If that information is not provided or if that action is not taken, the functionality of the feature may be limited.

11. If your plan includes credit reports, scores, and/or credit monitoring features ("Credit Features"), two requirements must be met to receive said features: (i) your identity must be successfully verified with TransUnion; and (ii) TransUnion and Equifax must be able to locate your credit file that contains sufficient credit history information. IF THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT MET YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT FEATURES FROM THE BUREAUS. You will receive Credit Features once the verification process is successfully completed. Any credit monitoring will take several days to begin after your successful plan enrollment.

12. It is your responsibility to ensure that your equipment and software meet the current minimum system requirements specified by TELUS as being necessary for access to the Services. TELUS shall post such minimum system requirements on the Services Web Site or otherwise notify you of such requirements. You acknowledge that such requirements may change from time to time, without notice, at TELUS' sole discretion.
