TELUS reserves the right to verify remotely or by contacting you directly that the service address is located in Canada and that all active IRDs o n your A ccount are located at the one address listed on your Account as your “service address”. If you violate this or any other provision or policy, TELUS may disconnect your access to the Programming immediately without n otice. You are respon sible for all Programmin g tha t is orde red for y our IRD. I f you hav e
concerns about other persons ordering Programming for your IRD without your authoriz ation, request a p ersonal identificatio n number (PIN) for your Ac count, w hich wil l be used by our Customer Ser vice Centre to help prevent unauthorized Programming orders. You may also contact our Customer Service Centre to determine if any particular IRD model is compatible with al l Programming in which you are interested. TELUS may, in our sole disc retion, for technological , network o r other rea sons require a migration, recall, substitution or replacement of all or any part of the DTH Equipm ent upon notice to you and on the terms and conditions specified in our notice. An y replacement DTH Equipment will be deemed to be the DTH Equipment referenced in this Agreement.
b) Programming requires telephone connection
Each IRD must be directly and continuously connected to
the same operating telephone service associated with your Account, unless TELUS otherwise expressly approves prior to activation. Connection to an operating telephone service is a condition of our granting you the right to receive and view the Programming and we may, in our sole discretion, disconnect some or all Programming if we determine that the IRD i s not conne cted in th is manner. We may verify the location of your IRDs remotely or by contacting you directly. If TELUS is unable to contact you to perform this verification, it may limit signal reception to a single receiver to a household containing multiple receivers.
c) Minimum level of Programming required
As a condition of our granting you the right to receive and
view the Programming, you must subscribe to and maintain a minimum level of Programming specified by TELUS when you subscribe to the Servi ce. In addition, unless we agree otherwise, the minimum period of time that you must continue to subscribe to at least the minimum level of Programming (and pay for it) is 30 days . Please visit telus.com/tv for information regarding the current minimum level of Programming required.
d) Authorization Devices
Authori zation De vices, in cludi ng Smart Card s, are
non-tran sferable . Your A uthorizat ion D evice will work only in the IRD with which it was packaged or activated . Notwi thsta nding that the Au thorizatio n Device wa s packaged with your IRD (whether purchased or rented), all Authorization Devices are and remain the property of Bell TV and any tampering or other unauthorized modification to an Authorization Device may result in, and subject you to, legal action, or any other action as set out in this Agreement. If you attempt to use that Authorization Device with any other IRD without our authorization, we may terminate your right
to receive and view the Programming. We may require that you return the Smart Ca rd to us if it is defective or damaged, prior to providing a replacement Smart Card to you. In addition, we may require that you return the Smart Card to us if you terminate your Account, and failure to do so will result in a recovery charge being assessed against you. We may, in our sole discretion, implement a mandatory recall, substitution or replacement of existing Authorization Devices, by notice to you that we will substitute or replace, at our expense, the existing Authorization Device in your possession and deliver to you a replacement Smart Card. You shall, within 7 days of our notice to you of the recall, return the recalled Smart Card and activate the replacement Smart Card. We will charge $100 to your TELUS Account for each recalled Smart Card in your possession, which amount will be credited to your Account once you activate the replacement Smart Card.
e) Liability for unauthorized use
If the Smart Card in the IRD you own or rent is destroyed,
lost, stolen or otherwise removed from your pre mises without your authorization, you must notify our Customer Service Centre immediately to avoid liability for payment for any unauthorized use or reception of Programming. You will not be liable for unauthorized use after we have received your timely notification.
f) Additional IRDs in the same household
It is a c onditio n that any additional IRD/Smart Card
combinatio n(s) rented or pu rchased a nd activa ted to receive the same Programming as your initial IRD/Smart Card must be located at the servi ce address listed on your Ac count a nd must be continuously conne cted to the same operating telephone line. We may, in our sole discretion, disconnect the Programming if you activate additional IRDs in breach of this requirement. The activation of any new additional IRDs/Smart Cards is subject to the additional IRD fee described in Section 5(d), if applicable. You may activate up to a maximum of 5 additional IRDs on your Account at any time. If you require more than 5 additional IRDs, you must open a new separate TELUS Account to activate such additional IRDs and you will be billed separately for the services received through those additional IRDs.
g) Vacation Properties or Secondary Locations
Section 4(a) applie s to you even i f you order th e
Programming for a secondary location, vacation property or mobile unit, such as a camper, boat or recreational vehicle. You may not, under any circumstances, including vacation properties, maintain multiple IRDs on one TELUS Account that are active at different locations simultaneously. If an

IRD is installed in a mobile unit such as a camper, boat or other recreational vehicle, you are only permitted to have one IRD active on that Account.
5. Rates, Fees and Charges
a) Introduction
Programming rates, fees and charge s are charged i n
accordance with this Agreement. Other rates, fees and charges, or changes to the amount of existing rates, fees and charges, may apply from time to time upon advance notice to you (see also Section 3). Our r ates, fees and charges for Programming are available upon request from the Customer Service Centre. If you have any concerns contact our Customer Service Centre.
b) Billing policies, Statements and payments
You shall pay in full all amounts billed for Programming and
all taxes, fees and other charges, if any, which are now or may in the future, be assessed on the Statement for Programming and any other services you receive from us. We will bill you each month in advance for your Programming and rental charges. (Usage-based Programming will be billed in arrears.) All bills are due upon receipt. Bills made available through the Internet are received when they are posted. Ch arges not paid before the end of the grace period shown on your bill are assessed a late payment charge at the prime rate of the Bank of Montreal plus 7%, converted to a monthly compound rate and rounded up to the nearest quarter percentage point, calculated from the due date, which you must pay in addition to all other amounts owing to TELUS. 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. If you subscribe to a pre­authorized payment met hod, you waive pre-notification of the amounts and dates of debits from your Account. TELUS may require you to make interim payments for non­recurring 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 3 days after you receive the demand for payment. You are responsible for maintaining a minimum spend of $32 per month on Programm ing, excluding any Pay Per View services, interactive services and all account administration fees.
c) Termination of Programming by TELUS
If you do not pay in full all amounts owing as shown on your
Statement within 30 days after the date when payment is
required, or if you fail to comply with any of your obligations under this Agreement at any time, in addition to our other rights and remedies, we have the right to disconnect your Programming, in our sole di scretion, without not ice or demand to you. We also reserve the right, without notice or demand, to take whatever steps are necessary to disable or modify the software in your IRD and/or Authorization Device if you breach any of your obli gations under this Agreement, including receiving Programming that you have not paid for, in whole or in part.
d) Additional IRD Fee
If you initially or s ubsequently activate more tha n one
IRD on your Account, you may be charged an account administration fee by TELUS for the activation and continued use of multiple IRDs/Smart Cards on your Account. TELUS may reduce or eliminate this fee if you subscribe to specific combo programming packages or if you are renting IRDs from TELUS.
e) Reconnection Fee
TELUS charges an account administration fee to reactivate
an IRD that w as permanently deactivat ed upon your request, or where you transfer or assign ownership of the IRD or otherwise transfer or assign responsibility for payment of an existing TELUS Account, in all cases with prior written consent from TELUS.
f) Digital Service Fee
You shall pay to TELUS a month ly recurr ing digital
service fee. This monthly recurring fee, which relates to costs incurred in o perating the network and maintaining and/o r upgradin g technolo gical plat forms, may b e reduced or eliminated by TELUS, in its discretion, if you subscrib e to specific combo pro gramming packages or based on the technological platform used to deliver Programming to you.
6. Your Termination or Suspension of Programming
a) If you want to terminate all or a portion of your
Programming
(i) Downgrading your Programming: You may terminate or
downgrade the reception of any part of your Programming by notifying our Customer Service Centre, only if these two conditions are met: (x) any continuing Programming is subject to the mini mum Programming re quirements set out in Section 4(c); and (y) your Account is in good standing with all payments up to date. The Programming you request to be terminated will be deactivated effective as of the next billing cycle date after receiving your notice. Since you would have paid for the Programming you are
terminating or downgrading in advance up to the next billing cycle date, no credit or refund will be payable in respect of such terminated or downgraded Programming. In addition, no deactivation fee will be payable in such case. However, if you are a s ubscriber and you attempt to downgrade your Programming below the minimum Programmi ng commitment you have agreed to, certain fees or charges may be applicable.
(ii) Terminating or cancelling your Programming: You
may terminate the reception of all of your Programming by notifying our Customer Service Centre. All the Programming you receive wi ll be deactivat ed on the 30th day after receiving your notice to cancel. However, if you are not a month to month subscriber, and you attempt to deactivate all of your Programming, certain fees or charges may be applicable. If you are entitled to a credit for any amount in excess of $10, TELUS will send you a cheque for that refund amount upon your request, but we will not provide any refund or credit for an amount of less than $10. If you have any questions regarding the return process, please call 310-MYTV (6988).
(iii) Outstanding Balance: If you cancel your right to
receive and view any Programming, you are still responsible for payment of all outstanding balances accrued up to the date of termination.
b) If you want to temporarily suspend your Programming
You may temporarily suspend your righ t to re ceive and
view the Programming at any time by contacting TELUS at 310-MYTV (6988), provided that your Programming is suspended for a minimum period of 6 consecutive weeks, and not greater than 7 cons ecutive months. TELUS charges an account administration fee. Upon reactivation, the minimum 1 month service requirement set out in Section 4(c) will apply. If you fail to call and reactivate your Account at the end of the permitted 7 month period, your Account w ill autom atically be react ivated, b illing wi ll be resumed and you will receive the Programming you were receiving prior to its suspension. If you have temporarily suspended your Programming and decide during that time to terminate or downgrade your Pr ogramming pur suant to Sections 6(a) (i) or (ii) as applicable, your Account will automatically be reactivated prior to any such requested change taking effect so that the terms and conditions of Sections 6(a) (i) or (ii), as applic able, shall apply to you r request t o termina te or downgrade your Pr ogramming. You may be required to continue the pa yment of all rental and other fees applicable to you under this Agreement or other agr eement wi th TELUS relating to yo ur receip t of the Programming.
c) Your transfer of Account or DTH Equipment
If you are renting DTH Equipment from TELUS, you may
not, without TELUS’ prior written consent, transfer or assign your rights to the DTH Equipment to another person. Also, if you own or rent your DTH Equipme nt, you may not assign or transfer your rights to the Programming without our prior written consent. If you do, we may deactivate your Programmi ng. You sha ll notify us immediately, but in any event not more than 5 days, after you move, sell, give away or otherwise transfer any part or all of your DTH Equipment to anyone else. You are considered to be the registered owner or lessee of your DTH Equipment listed on your Account, as the case may be, and beneficiary of the rights in the Programming until we receive such notice, and consent to the transfer of the DTH Equipment or Programming that you requested and you may be liable for any charges or fees incurred by the use of your DTH Equipment by anyone else up to the time that it is transferred. To transfer your DTH Equipment to another person or TELUS Account, an administration transfer fee will be applied to the TELUS Account of the new owner.
d) Security Deposit
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. 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, shall be credited to your Account monthly. 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.
e) Term and Rates
At the end of the minimum term, if any, your TELUS Service
will continue until (i) you terminate this Agreement upon a thirty (30) day notice to TELUS, or (b) TELUS terminates this Agreement as permitted herein (“Term”). Please note that all Programming, programming rates, packaging, fees and charges for other miscellaneous features or services, system access, late paymen t charges, termination or cancellation charges may change over the Term. Taxes are, in all cases, extra.

c) Programming availability
All Programming is provided on a “subject to availability”
basis. Certain Programming, including sports events, may be “blacked out” in your area of reception from time to time at the request of the programmer for copyright or other reasons. If you circumvent or attempt to circumvent
any of these blackouts, you may be subject to legal action. Programming may also be subject to temporary interruption due to natura l p henomena such as thund erstorms. TELUS will not refund charges for the blackout perio d or temporary interruptions. In addition, TELUS, BELL TV, THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND THE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLO YEES AND REPRESENTATIVES OF THE FOREGOING OR ITS SUPPLIERS, (INCLUDING TELESAT CANADA), WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE WHICH YOU SUFFER AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH BLACKOUT OR TEMPORARY INTERRU PTION.

For greater certainty, no credit or refund will be provided for Programming interruptions resulting from TELUS disabling or m odifying the software in an IRD and/or Authorization Device pursuant to Section 5(c) of this Agreement, or if TELUS can no longer provide any particular Programming for any reason.
d) Private viewing
The right we provide you to receive and view the Programming
is for your private home viewing, use and enjoyment. You will not receive, view or exhibit the Programming outside of your private residence. The Programming may not be rebroadcast, transmitted or performed in any form, and no admission charged, or any other consideration received, by or for the benefit of Subscriber from any third party in return for allowing such third party to listen to or view any Programming provided by us.
e) Warning against piracy
It is against the law to receive the Programming, or any
portion of the Programming, without paying for it (unless permitted to do so by TELUS). Doing so may result in civil or criminal penalty. TELUS also reserves the right to take any other action to prevent the reception of its Programming without payment to, or authorization by, TELUS, including the right to modify or disable, or cause the modification or disabling of, the software in the IRD and Authorization Device in accordance with Section 5(c) of this Agreement.

Programming may only be ordered if you also subscribe to other prerequisit e channels on the TELUS Ser vice.
