1.4 Service Performance Commitment
TCCP services come with a Service Availability Target performance commitment. Where we fail to achieve the Service Availability Target in any month we will provide you with the applicable credit indicated in the table below. The payment of the credit is your sole remedy for a failure by us to meet the Service Availability Target and such a failure will not be considered a breach or default of this agreement by us.
| Measure | Standard | Target | Total Monthly Outage Time = Credit Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Service Availability | 100% 7 days x 24 hours | 99.9% | ≤ 43 mins = 0% of applicable Monthly Fixed Price > 43 mins to 15 hrs 6 mins = 20% of applicable Monthly Fixed Price > 15 hrs 6 mins to 29 hrs 30 mins = 40% of applicable Monthly Fixed Price > 29 hrs 30 mins to 43 hrs 54 mins = 60% of applicable Monthly Fixed Price > 43 hrs 54 mins = 80% of applicable Monthly Fixed Price |
The Service Availability Target is the percentage of time in a calendar month that the TCCP services should be available for your use on a per location basis. TCCP services are deemed available at a location if it is being provided through either the primary or the backup access for the location. We use remote monitoring and other systems to measure the actual availability result at a location over a month and express the result as a percentage. When we measure and calculate the result we assume each month is 30 days but we include all periods of unavailability over the calendar month except for any period of unavailability that is caused or contributed to by one of the following excusable downtime:
(a) networks or equipment of another carrier or service provider,
(b) you, your network or your other services,
(c) an event of force majeure as defined in the General Terms and Conditions, and
(d) any period of unavailability that occurs when we are performing maintenance activities.
The credit is calculated as a percentage of the applicable Monthly Fixed Price at each affected TCCP services at an affected location up to a maximum of 80% of the applicable Monthly Fixed Price of each affected TCCP service.

Some changes may require installation and/or other professional services to complete. If so, charges may apply. These charges are set out on Your Service & Charges Summary.
1.7 Service Requests
Move, Add, Change, Disconnect
We will perform Moves, Adds, Changes and Disconnects (MACD) for your TCCP services when requested. These charges are set out in Your Service & Charges Summary. All new services and changes to existing TCCP services implemented by way of a MACD will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as it relates to TCCP services, and despite any other provision in this Agreement, without the necessity of the parties executing a formal amendment to this Agreement.
By continuing to use TCCP services, as changed by MACD, after receipt by you of a bill from us reflecting any changes, you are deemed to have accepted i) the changes and that this Agreement has been amended with respect to TCCP services provided by us and ii) that our records with respect to the changed TCCP services are a complete and accurate record of the TCCP services contracted by you.
Self-Serve
You can use the Administration and End User self-care portal for unified communication and collaboration applications to perform many changes to your TCCP services. This is the recommended approach for most basic changes and will not result in any charges.
1.8 Power Failure
You acknowledges and agree that it has been advised that TCCP services may not be available for use in the event of a power failure at your locations. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for, and have been advised by us to implement, at the your cost, emergency backup systems and a disaster recovery plan which may include analog backup telephone lines, cellular telephones, a universal power supply (UPS) system, geographical diversity and training to ensure that users are aware of alternate PSTN accesses available in the event of a power failure or power disruption.
1.9 Emergency 9-1-1 Calls
With traditional enhanced 9-1-1, when a caller dials 9-1-1, the call is automatically routed to the serving emergency service call answering point and in cases where the caller is unable to speak, emergency services will be dispatched to the address associated with the calling phone number. With VoIP 9-1-1 there is no physical address associated to the service due to the service having the ability to be nomadic. As such, calls placed to 9-1-1 are routed to an emergency operator, who will determine, from the information obtained from the caller, where the caller is located and then transfer the caller to the correct emergency service answering point.
As a result, a web portal is available at http://nomadic911.telus.com for you to update current physical locations online for the purposes of dispatching emergency services in cases where a caller cannot communicate with one of the emergency operators. It is your sole responsibility to enter and update the current location and ensure that information is accurate. If the information is entered incorrectly, or if you fail to update the current location in the portal, or fails to update it on time, 9-1-1 emergency calls may be directed to an incorrect location and emergency services may not be dispatched to the location from which 9-1-1 was called. The portal is operational in Canada only and does not accept locations outside of Canada. You expressly authorizes TELUS and its affiliates (and will obtain the necessary authorizations from your callers for same if applicable) to use and disclose the information entered in the portal. We are not liable for any damages or losses, direct or indirect, arising from or relating to your use of the portal. Any personal information collected, used, stored or disclosed in connection with the portal will be subject to TELUS Privacy Code and Privacy Commitment found at http://telus.com/privacy, as amended from time to time.
It is your sole responsibility to inform all users and potential users of the VoIP service of the nature and limitations of the VoIP service when compared to analog voice services. We may provide you with stickers for its phones to achieve that end.
Furthermore, VoIP 9-1-1 service is subject to more variables and limitations than enhanced 9-1-1 service, including dependency on uninterrupted provision of power and network connection. Consequently, it is your sole responsibility to implement, at your cost, emergency backup systems such as analog backup telephone lines, cellular telephones and a universal power supply (UPS) system, as well as user training.
In addition to any exclusion specified elsewhere in the Agreement, the total liability of us (and of the emergency services provider) toward you for any and all claims of any nature howsoever relating to or arising out of specifically of the provision of 9-1-1, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, will not exceed the total charges paid by you for the TCCP services in association with which the 9-1-1 service is provided during the twelve months period immediately preceding the event which gave rise to the claims
1.10 Directory Listings
When a page directory listing is included in the TCCP services, although we undertake to make every reasonable effort to accurately convey the information required for directory listings, the parties agree that we may not in any way be held liable for any error, omission or oversight that may occur.
1.11 Transfer Authorization
By agreeing to these Service Terms and Conditions, you authorize us to make the necessary modification with its former carrier to transfer the phone numbers specified in Your Service & Charges Summary. You also authorize us to have its former carrier transfer or disconnect these phone numbers. The transfer of the phone numbers can cause a temporary interruption of your voice services. You will execute any authorizations required by other companies in order for us to provide the TCCP services.
1.12 Long Distance Charges
In using TCCP services you must use our Long Distance services. If your long distance services are not subject to an agreement between you and us, our current Long Distance Terms of Service will apply and are incorporated by reference and form part of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
