Automatic Renewal
The Customer’s choice as to whether the Agreement auto-renews or expires at the end of the Term is specified in the Agreement. If "Auto-Renew Agreement" is selected, provided TELUS has given the Customer at least 60 days prior notice of the renewal and any changes to the pricing or other terms and conditions that apply to the Services during the renewal Term, unless the Customer declines the renewal in writing no later than 60 days after the renewal date, the Agreement and the Services will automatically renew for another Term with the same length as the previous Term.
If (a) "Do Not Auto-Renew Agreement" is selected, or (b) "Auto-Renew Agreement" is selected and the Customer declines the renewal or TELUS fails to send a renewal notice to the Customer, the Agreement will expire at the end of the Term and any Services that continue to be provided to the Customer will be subject to the Business Select monthly terms and conditions published at http://www.telus.com/BusinessSelectServiceTerms (the “Month-to-Month Service Terms”) and the use of any such Services by the Customer will constitute consent by the Customer to the Month-to-Month Service Terms.

Use of the Services
The Customer will 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 use the Services in violation of any applicable law.
