8. Service Fees; Account and Payment Information; Notices to You

8.1 Charges for a service will commence on the date that the Service is ordered (the “Order Date”). Unless otherwise agreed to by you and us, we will bill you monthly.

All communication for the purpose of billing or legal notice may be made by email or by delivery to your domicile, which shall be deemed to be the last billing and/or service address(es) that you have provided to us.

8.2 In the event we fail to bill you or underbill you for a charge, you will not be responsible for paying the previously unbilled or underbilled charge except where: (1) in the case of a recurring charge, you are correctly billed within a period of one year from the date the charge was incurred; or (2) in the case of a non-recurring charge, you are correctly billed within a period of 150 days from the date the charge was incurred. However, this time limitation does not apply if we have failed to bill you or underbilled you due to deception on your part.

8.4 You agree to treat our telephone cards and all other access codes and passwords, where applicable, as confidential and non-transferable. We reserve the right to deactivate telephone card codes without notice if, in our sole discretion, fraudulent use is suspected.

You acknowledge and agree that you shall be responsible for all costs incurred until such notification to us.

8.5 In exceptional circumstances, for example, where you present an abnormal risk of loss to us, prior to the normal billing date we may require payment from you on an interim basis for the charges that have accrued. In such cases, the charges will be considered past due three (3) days after they are incurred or three (3) days after we demand payment, whichever occurs later.

8.6 We may request immediate payment in extreme situations, provided we have notified you and the abnormal risk of loss has substantially increased since that notice was given or we, at our sole discretion, have reasonable grounds for believing that there exists an intention to defraud us.

8.7 Unless or except where we require payment by credit card only, you have the option to pay your Service Fees by credit card, debit card or by pre-authorized payment, and you hereby authorize us to charge the credit card or debit the financial institution account provided to us in payment for all outstanding Service Fees every time an invoice is rendered by us to you for the Service in accordance with the Agreement up to the full amount of the invoice. In the case of recurring payments by credit card, you must provide us with a valid credit card number and related required information at the time when you subscribe to the Service so that we can charge the credit card on a recurring basis. In the case of payment by recurring financial institution account debit, you must provide us with the particulars of the financial institution account to be debited (including without limitation the applicable transit number, institution number and account number) and related required information at the time when you subscribe to the Service so that we can debit the financial institution account on a recurring basis. We may, at our discretion require that you fill out, execute and send to us a pre-authorized payment form in a form provided by us to you or to which you are directed. It is your responsibility to ensure that the credit card or financial institution account information that you provide to us remains valid and current and that we are able to continue charging the credit card or debiting the financial institution account, as the case may be, for amounts invoiced to you by us. A failure by you to adhere to these requirements may result in suspension or termination of your Services or Account without further notice to you, and payment by you to us of any applicable ETFs (as defined in Section 8.12) and/or other applicable fees. For greater certainty, we may suspend or cancel any Service(s) or your Account whenever you are in arrears in making payments due to us for any Service(s).

8.8 If payment of an amount due on your Account is not received by us by the required payment date specified by us, it will be considered a delinquent amount and will be subject to a late payment charge of 2% per month, calculated and compounded monthly on the delinquent amount (26.82% per year) from the date of the first invoice on which the delinquent amount appears until the date we receive such amount in full. You agree that we can charge any unpaid and outstanding amount, including any late payment charges, on your Account to your credit card, bank account or any other payment method pre-authorized by you for payment of our charges.

8.11 Any questions or discrepancies regarding Service Fees must be reported to us within 90 days of the date of our invoice or other statement. Failure to notify us within this time period will constitute your acceptance of such Service Fees.

8.12 Unless otherwise set out in the Governing Documents, if you agree to subscribe to one of our plans or Services for a committed period of time (the “Contract Period”), you may be subject to an early termination fee (“ETF”) for each Service. Any decrease in your Contract Period may be subject to a fee. If your Service is terminated prior to the end of the Contract Period, you will pay us an ETF as specified in the Agreement, plus taxes.

8.13 Changes to your Account (e.g., price plan, features or identifiers) may not take effect until after your next billing date.

8.14 All Equipment installed or provided by us, except Equipment purchased outright by you, remains our property and you agree to return such Equipment to us promptly when you no longer subscribe to the Service(s) in respect of which the Equipment was provided to you or when the Agreement is terminated. While in your possession, our provided Equipment may be charged to you as part of your Service Fees. We may require you to pay an Equipment deposit prior to providing you with Equipment. You agree to pay us the cost of any Equipment not returned to us upon disconnection or loss, together with any costs incurred by us in seeking to obtain possession of such Equipment. We may charge you all costs relating to repair or replacement of damaged Equipment.

8.15 Subject to our cancellation and termination policy set out below, fees and charges for partial months of Service use will not be prorated.

8.16 The use of certain Services may require you to use other telecommunications services and incur corresponding additional charges. Without limitation, one such example is the use of long distance to access dial-up Internet Service when it cannot be accessed from your local calling area. Another example is a one-time installation and monthly recurring fee for the use of local loops used to provide Internet Service over DSL, where the carrier that leases the local loop to us is not providing voice telephone services over it as well. In such cases, you are solely responsible for the payment of all charges associated with your use of such other telecommunications services, whether you obtain such other services from us or other suppliers.

9. Deposits and Credit Requirements

9.1 Not applicable to Residents of Québec: We may require a deposit or impose other payment or credit requirements (e.g., interim payments; mandatory pre-payments) at any time and on such terms as determined in our sole discretion.

If your Service is terminated, we will apply any deposits or other payments against the outstanding final balance on your Account.

9.2 Applicable only to Residents of Québec: We may require a deposit or impose other payment or credit requirements (e.g., interim payments; mandatory pre-payments) at any time and on such terms as determined in our sole discretion. Any security deposit held by us will bear interest at the rate determined by regulation, as determined from time to time, from the date we collect a security deposit or from June 30, 2010 if a security deposit is already being held by us at that date, until the date we return it to you. We will notify you in writing upon using all or part of a security deposit. If your Service is terminated, we will return any security deposits with applicable interest minus the outstanding final balance on your Account within 30 days of termination of your Services.

9.3. Upon notice to you, we may assign, change or remove a credit limit on your Account at any time. Service may be suspended, at any time, to any and all of your Accounts, if your balance, including unbilled usage and pending charges, fees and adjustments, exceeds this limit.

10. Availability and Installation of Service

10.1 Each Service is only available in those areas to which the network of TekSavvy and the networks of Carriers employed by TekSavvy to provide the Service extend and where the Service has actually been rolled out by us. Service availability is also subject to the availability of appropriate facilities and is dependent on the availability of suitable technology at the location(s) at which you wish to obtain the Service.

10.2 The availability of high-speed Internet Service is dependent on the availability of suitable residential telephone lines/local loops and/or cable facilities supplied by other Carriers. The number of service connections per address may be limited. You acknowledge and agree that we shall conduct a preliminary geographical check upon your placing an order to determine if high-speed Internet Service is available in your geographical area. Due to the nature of high-speed Internet Service technology, we reserve the right to deem the high-speed Internet Service unavailable to you up to, including, and after the installation. Where a high-speed Internet service having certain characteristics is required in order for us to be able to provide another Service (“Internet Dependent Service”), and the require Internet service is not available, we will be unable to provide the Internet Dependent Service, unless and until you make arrangements to obtain the required high-speed Internet service.

10.3 You acknowledge that TekTalk^TM is an Internet Dependent Service and is only available at selected locations served by us where suitable facilities, underlying high-speed Internet service, direct inward dialled numbers and arrangements with other underlying Carriers are available.

10.4 In order to obtain Service and depending on the nature of the Service, you may have to purchase or lease certain additional Equipment and obtain additional services from one or more other providers of telecommunications services. As noted above, leased Equipment remains our property at all times. You are responsible for all such Equipment and it must be returned to us upon termination of the Service or part of the Service for which it was leased. Self-installation of Equipment is not allowed for certain Services. For those Services for which it is allowed, if you choose to install such Equipment yourself, the type of Equipment to be installed must be pre-approved by us and your installation configuration must conform to applicable specifications. We assume no liability for any damage or losses caused if you choose to self-install.

10.5 Should your Services include a requirement for local number portability or equal access, your entry into the Agreement also authorizes us, directly or through our underlying Carriers, to port the requested telephone number(s) from your existing local and/or long distance service provider(s), onto our local and/or long distance network.

10.6 Internet Service includes the ability to establish multiple e-mail accounts. Email accounts may be established for other members of your household, and all such accounts shall form part of your Account and be subject to the Agreement. E-mail accounts created for users who are under the age of majority may only be established with the consent of those persons’ parents or guardians. Email accounts are terminated upon termination of your Internet Service or Account. We may also, at any time, suspend or delete an Internet Service or e-mail account where the e-mail account or any one of your Services is used in any manner that impairs the use of Service(s) by others, is inconsistent with the Agreement or is contrary to law, or during any period in which any amount payable by you to us is past due. During a period when an e-mail account is suspended: (1) you may not access your e-mail to view copies of e-mails sent to you prior to the suspension; (2) you may not send e-mails from the suspended account; (3) e-mails directed to that account are still received; and (4) you may call our help desk to reactivate the e-mail account fully at 1-877-779-1575 for English service and 1-800-368-6909 for French service after meeting any applicable conditions.

If you have subscribed to a plan or Service for a Contract Period before June 30, 2010, then you must terminate your Services in accordance with Section 11.2; and

• TekSavvy may terminate any or all of your Services or Accounts upon no less than 60 days’ advance notice to you at your billing address, unless you are in default of your obligations pursuant to the Agreement, including one of the events of default described in Section 11.4 below. If you have subscribed to a plan or Service for a Contract Period, then we may terminate your Services only if you are in default of your obligations hereunder, pursuant to Sections 1604, 2126 and 2129 of the Civil Code of Québec.

Applicable charges continue to apply until the date of the notice or a future date specified therein (if applicable), whichever is later. The transfer of your telephone number to another telecommunications service provider constitutes a termination of the applicable Service(s), and an ETF may apply.

11.4 In addition to our rights to terminate your Services pursuant to Sections 11.2 and 11.3, we may restrict, block, suspend or terminate any or all of your Services or Accounts, including 9-1-1 service, or identifiers in any way, without notice or liability to you, if:

• You are in breach of the Agreement, including non-payment of your charges or non-compliance with any Policies;

• You do not maintain Service usage within the prescribed credit limit;

• You exceed reasonable usage limits, as determined by us;

• You have given us false, misleading or out-dated information;

• We reasonably suspect or determine that any of your Account, identifiers, Services or Equipment is the subject of fraudulent, unlawful or improper usage or usage that adversely affects our operations or the use of our services, facilities or networks by others;

• You harass, threaten or abuse us or our employees or agents;

• You fraudulently or improperly seek to avoid payment to us;

• We need to install, maintain, inspect, test, repair, remove, replace, investigate, protect, modify, upgrade or improve the operation of the Services, the Equipment or our facilities or networks;

• Any account or service on which your Services depend is terminated for any reason; or

• We reasonably believe that there is an emergency or extreme circumstance that would warrant such action.

11.5 If we restrict, suspend, block or terminate your Services or Accounts:

• You must pay any amounts owing;

• We may also suspend, block or terminate, without notice or liability, your services under any other agreement or account that you may have with us or a related TekSavvy entity (including accounts that may be in good standing);

• You may be charged for any costs incurred by us or any related TekSavvy entity in connection with your breach of these Terms of Service, including costs incurred to enforce your compliance;

• Your access to emergency or special needs services (e.g., 9-1-1) may also be restricted, suspended, blocked or terminated; and

• Your rates for services with related TekSavvy entities may change in accordance with the terms of those services.

12. Performance Levels of Services

12.1 There are certain limitations to the Services.

12.2 In the case of dial-up Internet Service, connections may not be established on every attempt and it may be necessary to dial the Internet Service access numbers repeatedly to establish a connection to the Internet.

12.3 In the case of Internet Service generally, speed is a function of many technical factors, some of which are not under our control. As such, we do not guarantee the maximum Service performance (i.e., throughput or speed) levels. You understand and agree that any content that you may access through the Internet Service may be subject to "caching" at intermediate locations on the Internet. Similarly, simultaneous use of high bandwidth applications (example, streaming media) by one or more (example, home networking) users may result in an experience that is slower when compared to a single application used by a single user.

12.4 In the case of Internet Service, we or our underlying Carriers may impose caps on bandwidth usage and hence such usage capacity is not unlimited in those cases. We and those Carriers are entitled to enforce those bandwidth caps. If you refuse to adhere to the caps, your Internet Service may be suspended, restricted, subjected to traffic shaping or terminated, and/or extra charges may apply.

12.5 TekTalk^TM may not in all instances perform with the same degree of reliability or quality as equivalent traditional wireline telephone services.

12.6 You acknowledge and understand that the Services or access to the Services, including 9-1-1, public alerts or special needs services, may not function correctly, or at all, in the following circumstances:

• If your Equipment fails, is not configured correctly or does not meet our requirements;

• In the event of a high-speed Internet service outage, regardless of the supplier providing the high-speed Internet service to you;

• In the event of a network outage or power failure;

• If you tamper with or, in some cases, move the Equipment; or

• Following suspension or termination of your Services or Account.

12.7 No TekSavvy Party is responsible or liable to you for any software, content or services provided to you or accessible by you through the Services, any charges incurred in connection with such software, content or services or anything that is or can be done with such software, content or services even if you are billed for such software, content or services. All such software, content or services is accessed or transmitted solely at your own risk.

12.8 You are responsible for the use and compatibility of the Services with any Equipment, Software, services and/or other materials not provided by us (hereinafter called the "Third Party Equipment and Services"). We disclaim all responsibility for determining compatibility between any Service and any Third Party Equipment and Services.

12.9 Not applicable to Residents of Québec: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• The TekSavvy Parties do not guarantee or warrant the performance, availability, coverage, uninterrupted use, security, pricing or operation of the Services, the Equipment or any products, content, applications, services, facilities, connections or networks used or provided by us or third parties (collectively, the “Offering”);

These limits are in addition to any other limits on the TekSavvy Parties’ liability set out elsewhere in the Agreement and apply to any act or omission of the TekSavvy Parties, whether or not the act or omission would otherwise be a cause of action in contract, tort or pursuant to any statute or other doctrine of law.

13.4 This Article 13 of the Agreement shall apply even if there is a breach of condition, a breach of an essential or fundamental term, or a fundamental breach of the Agreement.

13.5 You agree that the limitations of liability set out in this Article 13 are fair and reasonable in the commercial circumstances of the Agreement and that we would not have entered into the Agreement but for your agreement to limit our liability in the manner and to the extent provided in this Article 13.

14. Indemnification

14.1 You will indemnify and hold harmless the TekSavvy Parties from and against any claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and other litigation expenses) incurred by the TekSavvy Parties relating to your violation, alleged violation or misappropriation of any intellectual property, industrial, contractual, privacy or other rights of a third party or any alleged libel or slander by a third party against you.

15. Limitations of TekTalk^TM 9-1-1 calling and Related Limitation of Liability

15.1 There are some differences and limitations in how 9-1-1 calling over TekTalk^TM operates relative to 9-1-1 service over traditional telephone service as further described in the following Sections. Please review all of Article 15 of this document thoroughly before activating, installing or using the TekTalk^TM Service.

15.2 We offer a form of 9-1-1 calling that is similar to traditional 9-1-1 service but has some important differences and limitations when compared with enhanced 9-1-1 service (“E9-1-1”) available in most locations in conjunction with traditional telephone service. With both traditional basic 9-1-1 and E9-1-1 service, your call is sent directly to the nearest emergency response centre. In addition, with E9-1-1 service, your call back number and last address are visible to the emergency response centre call-taker. With our 9-1-1 calling, your call is sent to a national emergency call centre. Regardless of whether your call-back number and the last address registered with us for your TekTalk^TM Service are visible to the call centre operator, when you make a 9-1-1 call, you will be asked to confirm your location information. The call centre operator will then transfer your 9-1-1 call to the emergency response centre nearest your location. You should be prepared to provide or confirm your name, address and call-back number with the operator. Do not hang up unless told directly to do so and if disconnected, immediately dial 9-1-1 again.

15.3 If you are unable to speak during a 9-1-1 call and the call centre operator has access to a call-back number and last registered address associated with your TekTalk^TM Service, the operator will transfer the call to the emergency response centre closest to that address. In order for emergency services to be dispatched to the correct address in such cases, you must ensure that the registered address that you have provided to us is always the same as the physical address at which the Analog Terminal Adapter/other device you use to obtain your TekTalk^TM service (“TekTalk^TM Device”) is located. Whenever you move the physical location of your TekTalk^TM Device or you add a line, you must update your registered address accordingly. Address registrations and updates may be recorded at http://www.teksavvy.com/en/911address.asp in English and http://www.teksavvy.com/fr/911address.asp in French.

15.4 9-1-1 calling will not function in the event of a power or broadband outage or if your broadband service (whether obtained from us or another Internet service provider) is suspended or disconnected. Following a power failure or disruption, you may need to reset or reconfigure your TekTalk^TM Device prior to utilizing TekTalk^TM, including 9-1-1 calling.

15.5 You must successfully register your location of use for each changed, newly added or newly ported number in order for 9-1-1 calling to function as intended. Address registrations and updates may be recorded at http://www.teksavvy.com/en/911address.asp in English and http://www.teksavvy.com/fr/911address.asp in French.

15.6 Improper installation or configuration of your TekTalk^TM Device or other Equipment used in conjunction with TekTalk^TM Service will prevent your 9-1-1 calling from functioning as intended. Immediately following installation of your TekTalk^TM Device and TekTalk^TM Service and following every power outage, or if you have reason to suspect that anyone has tampered with the TekTalk^TM Device or related Equipment or that it has failed, you should make a test call to another telephone number (NOT 9-1-1) using your TekTalk^TM Service to ensure that it is functioning correctly in case a 9-1-1 call will need to be made at some point using TekTalk^TM. If the TekTalk^TM Service is not working correctly at any time, please call technical support at 1-877-779-1575 in English or 1-800-368-6909 in French from another telephone for assistance.

15.7 There may be a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 9-1-1 calls made utilizing TekTalk^TM as compared to traditional 9-1-1 calls dialled over traditional public telephone networks.

15.8 You should inform any household residents, guests and other persons who may be present at the physical location where you utilize TekTalk^TM, of the important differences in and limitations of TekTalk^TM 9-1-1 calling as compared with E-9-1-1 service, as set out above.

15.9 TekSavvy does not currently offer Operator Service and so emergency services cannot be accessed through an operator by dialling “0”.

15.10 We do not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls using our 9-1-1 calling service are answered or addressed by any local emergency response centre. We disclaim all responsibility for the conduct of local emergency response centres and the national emergency calling centre. We rely on third parties to assist us in routing 9-1-1 calls to local emergency response centres and to a national emergency calling centre. We disclaim any and all liability or responsibility in the event such third party data used to route calls is incorrect or yields an erroneous result.

15.11 You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent allowed by law, the TekSavvy Parties will not be liable for any injury, death or damage to persons or property, arising directly or indirectly out of, or relating in any way to 9-1-1 calling from your TekTalk^TM Service and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the TekSavvy Parties for any liabilities, claims, damages, losses and expenses, (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) which you or anyone accessing or attempting to access 9-1-1 calling from your TekTalk^TM Service may suffer or incur, arising directly or indirectly out of or relating to your or that person’s failure to obtain access to 9-1-1 emergency services.

15.12 By subscribing to our TekTalk^TM Service and activating it, you acknowledge all of the limitations of the 9-1-1 calling provided through TekTalk^TM Service, that you will take all of the corresponding measures described above in light of these limitations, that you accept the limitations of liability applicable to 9-1-1 calling provided through our TekTalk^TM Service and that these TekSavvy Terms and Conditions of Service apply to TekTalk^TM. If you do not agree with any of the terms and conditions related to TekTalk^TM, including the limitations and requirements associated with 9-1-1 calling provided over TekTalk^TM, or with these TekSavvy Terms and Conditions of Service, do not subscribe to, or activate, TekTalk^TM, do not install the TekTalk^TM Device or any other Equipment provided in connection with the TekTalk^TM Service and call us immediately at 1-877-779-1575 in English or 1-800-368-6909 in French to cancel your TekTalk^TM Service, if any such service has been ordered or activated.

16. Security, Privacy and Confidentiality

16.1 We will not be responsible for any corrupted files or “viruses”, “cancelbots", "trojan horses", "worms" or other harmful or disruptive components (hereinafter collectively called “Virus(es)”) which affect you or your Services. It is your responsibility to safeguard your computer system, through appropriate means (e.g. using commercially available software), from theft, unauthorized use or system corruption. Any detriment caused to our network or that of our underlying Carriers as a result of your failure to properly secure your system may result in the immediate cancellation of your Services.

16.2 We cannot ensure or guarantee the privacy of any information you choose to transmit through use of the Service. Any such use shall be at your sole risk and the TekSavvy Parties shall be relieved from all liability in connection therewith.

16.3 In the event of a breach of security, including without limitation, if your Account information, including Account numbers and passwords, e-mail account passwords, hosted webpage account passwords or any other Account and password information is compromised, you must immediately advise us by contacting technical support at 1-877-779-1575 for English service and 1-800-368-6909 for French service and accept replacement information from us.

By subscribing to the Service, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information, as described in the above policy.

16.5 Personal information collected in connection with the provision of the Services may be stored and processed in or outside Canada and may be subject to the laws of other jurisdictions.

16.6 Unless you provide express consent, or disclosure is required pursuant to a legal power, all information regarding you kept by us, other than your name, address and listed telephone number, is confidential and may not be disclosed by us to anyone other than:

• You;

18.2 We will make your name, address and telephone numbers available to publishers of paper and electronic telephone directories and to providers of operator services, in accordance with legal or regulatory requirements. However, subject to the 9-1-1 service provider exception described below, you may opt to have your name, address and telephone number listing information omitted from these directories or services by requesting, and paying for, an unlisted telephone number.
