1. Agreement
By using or subscribing to any of Freedom’s services, including the mobile voice, text, data and related services (“Services”)
provided to you by Freedom Mobile Inc. or any of its affiliates (“Freedom”, “Freedom Mobile”, “us” or “we”), you agree to the
following terms and conditions of service (the “Terms of Service”). These Terms of Service constitute the understanding between
Freedom and the customer responsible for the use and payment of the Services (“you”) and govern the use of the Services. The
term of your agreement begins on the agreement start date and will automatically renew on a month to month basis at the end of
any fixed term you have agreed to until it is changed or cancelled in accordance with these Terms of Service.
2. Definitions
In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in these Terms of Service, the following terms have the meanings indicated:
“Device” means any type of wireless telecommunications device that is, or is to be, used with the Services, including mobile
phones, tablets, Internet data sticks, etc.;
“MyTab” means the amount by which the upfront cost of a Device will be reduced, with such amount being reduced by equal
amounts each month until your commitment end date;
“Monthly MyTab Charge” means an optional monthly fee that allows you to establish, or increase the amount of, your MyTab;
“Lightly Loved and Refurbished Device” means a Device that was returned to us within the trial period in good working
order without physical damage and has been refurbished by a third party; and
“Line” means a wireless phone number assigned by Freedom Mobile to you to enable you to use Services in connection with a
Device.
Freedom Mobile may make changes to the Terms of Service, the Services and the associates prices, fees or charges in its sole
discretion on 30 days' notice, excluding the following key contract terms during a 24-month commitment: your rate plan, the total
minimum monthly charges, your commitment period, the retail price of your Device and the total early cancellation fee. Changes to
Services may include modification or termination of such Services.
Freedom may give you notice of a change by sending it to you by email or text message, by including it on your monthly invoice (for
postpaid customers), by posting it on the My Account tool, available at freedommobile.ca/myaccount, or by any other reasonable
method and such notices may refer you to our website for further details. Subject to Freedom’s right to make these changes, no
other statements (written or verbal, including proposed changes by you) will change these Terms of Service.
You shall be deemed to have accepted any changes made by Freedom Mobile if you continue to use your Services after such
changes are effective with no additional action or agreement required.
4. Services
(a) We will provide the Services to you in accordance with these Terms of Service, starting from the time you activate
the Services. The Services will only be provided in geographic areas covered by our network or by our third party
service providers. Additional charges may apply for use of Services outside of the Freedom Mobile network coverage
area (our “Home network”), with maps of such coverage available at freedommobile.ca/network-and-
coverage/coverage.
(b) The Services may be available both within and outside of Canada through third party service providers with whom
we have roaming agreements and who have compatible technology. You can roam on other wireless networks in
Canada. Some Devices will automatically update data while you roam unless you turn off data roaming. Consult your
owner’s manual for your Device to understand how to turn data roaming off. You may review a list of countries
covered by roaming on our website at freedommobile.ca/roaming. You may be required to activate international
roaming before you are able to roam internationally. You can activate international roaming at any time through the
My Account tool by logging in at freedommobile.ca/myaccount, our call centre, or any other activation channel
authorized by us from time to time before you use international roaming. We suggest you do this before you leave
the Freedom Mobile network coverage areas. Deposit customers are not eligible to use international roaming. You
will be responsible for any domestic or international roaming usage charges incurred. We reserve the right to decline
activation of roaming or make your use of roaming subject to caps, limitations or restrictions. N11 numbers (such as
411 and 911), other special service and toll-free numbers may not operate properly when roaming outside of
Canada. You are responsible for confirming correct numbers and for any connections, charges or liability incurred by
accessing special service numbers while roaming. Freedom will notify you (and subscribers on your account) once
you (or they) reach additional usage charges for data roaming of one hundred dollars ($100.00) per account per
billing cycle. If you (or they) continue to try to use data roaming after this notice, then you will be given the
opportunity to expressly consent to continued additional usage charges. If you do not expressly consent to such
additional usage charges, then your (or their) ability to send or receive data transmissions while roaming will be
suspended. You will also receive notice if your data roaming is restricted or suspended due to a credit limit or past
due amounts. Freedom will also notify you (and subscribers on your account) once you (or they) reached additional
usage charges for home data of fifty dollars ($50.00) per account per billing cycle. If you (or they) continue to try to
use home data after this notice, then you will be given the opportunity to expressly consent to continued additional
usage charges. If you do not expressly consent to such additional usage charges, then your (or their) ability to send
or receive data transmissions will be suspended. You will also receive notice if your home data is restricted or
suspended due to a credit limit or past due amounts.
(c) Some of our Services are offered or described as being “unlimited” in nature. This is subject, at all times, to
reasonable usage limits for personal use by an individual. Our Fair Usage Policy applies to all our data, voice, text
and roaming services. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that your usage is excessive or unreasonable, we
reserve the right to limit or restrict your usage or to terminate your subscription to either the unlimited offering or the
Services generally and to refuse to provide you Services thereafter. Freedom Mobile wants all of its customers to
get the best service, to be free to communicate without limitations, with the best possible conditions, whenever
possible and at low prices. By ensuring that a very few do not abuse our services and engage in unreasonable use,
we can continue to offer the great services you enjoy. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you if we decide to
take such actions, but we also reserve the right to do so without notice.
(d) Certain Services, including without limitation roaming, internet access, premium messaging services, Wi-Fi
Calling, and Freedom Wi-Fi will be subject to additional terms and conditions or will require you to use or download
software which is subject to other terms and conditions. You agree to review and be bound by all such terms and
conditions as a condition of your use of such Services or software.
(e) Materials that you access on the internet or that you otherwise download or retrieve from third parties through the
Services are provided by others and do not form part of the Services. You agree that you are solely responsible for
your access, downloading or retrieval of such materials and acknowledge that you may incur charges in doing so.
We have no obligation or liability to you regarding such materials.
(f) You grant us a worldwide, sub-licensable, transferable and non-exclusive license, without compensation,
reimbursement or any other payment, to transmit, copy, modify, adapt, display, perform, distribute and publish any
content you choose to create, transmit, publish or otherwise communicate using the Services, as reasonably
required by us and our third party service providers to provide the Services to you.
(g) Subject to applicable law, including your rights to transfer the telephone number we assign to you (or which you had
transferred for use with our Services) to another carrier, all telephone numbers, IP addresses, e-mail addresses,
domains and other communication numbers or addresses remain our property. We reserve the right to change or
replace any such domains, numbers or addresses upon 30 days’ notice without any liability to you and the right to
reassign any such domains, numbers or addresses to another customer upon termination of Services.
(h) You may ask us to transfer a telephone number from your current service provider for use with our Services. By
doing so, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are authorized to request the transfer of the telephone number that
you have provided to us; and (ii) you are the listed account holder for invoicing purposes with your current service
provider. You also agree to provide us with: (i) the name you used with your current service provider for invoicing
purposes (if different from the one you have provided us for your account with us); (ii) the name of your current
service provider; (iii) the account number with your current service provider; (iv) the telephone number(s) that you
wish to transfer to us; and (v) any other information reasonably required by us to facilitate the transfer. You
acknowledge that once the transfer is completed, you will no longer be able to use the specified telephone number
with your existing service provider, and will only be able to do so in conjunction with our Services. You also
acknowledge that such a transfer will only transfer the specified telephone number, and not any of the services,
content or other addresses that were provided through your existing service provider. Delays in the processing of
the transfer may delay your ability to activate the Services and use the number being transferred to us.
(i) The availability, access and quality of the Services may be impacted by things outside of our reasonable control, such
as, without limitation, the weather or unforeseen faults or malfunctions (including failures of our equipment or your
Device). In addition, there may be disruptions to the Services due to upgrades, maintenance or other work, or
governmental, regulatory or emergency service prioritizations or restrictions. We and our third party service providers
will not be liable to you in any manner for such events or disruptions or for any failure to perform any of our
obligations under these Terms of Service due to anything beyond our or their control, including, but not limited to,
acts of God, war, acts of terrorism, government actions or failures by other suppliers or operators.
(j) We and our third party service providers may make changes to the Services, cancel, suspend, limit, block or restrict
Services or change coverage areas or change roaming arrangements from time to time in our and their discretion
and without notice to you.
(k) Freedom provides 9-1-1 emergency call routing Service (“9-1-1 Service”). When calling 9-1-1 always provide your
name, wireless phone number and the location you are calling from. Remember, it's important to speak clearly.
Stay on the line for as long as the 9-1-1 operator requires. Calls to 9-1-1 are free so take all the time that you need.
Leave your Device turned on after hanging up in case the 9-1-1 operator needs to call you back. Please do not
program 9-1-1 into your speed dial. This can lead to accidental calls that take up valuable emergency resources.
Calling 9-1-1 on your Device is subject to the same limitations as all wireless calls. If you are underground or too far
away from a wireless antenna, the quality of your call may be affected or you may not be able to connect to the
network. Also, 9-1-1 Service does not work with all Devices: data-only Devices like tablets, modems and turbo
sticks/hubs can’t be used to call or access 9-1-1. While Freedom provides emergency call routing when the 9-1-1
Service is available and the Device is capable, it is local government that provides the 9-1-1 emergency response
services. If you live in an area where 9-1-1 emergency response services are not available, then your call may not
be routed to a live operator. Freedom is not responsible for any inability to access 9-1-1 Service, to the extent
permitted by applicable law. For more information visit our website: freedommobile.ca/911-faq
(a) You may only use the Services for your own individual, personal and non- commercial purposes. You may not share,
assign, transfer, distribute, sell, resell, give or otherwise exploit the Services for any commercial purpose in any
manner whatsoever.
(b) You agree not to: (i) alter any of the equipment or software that you use to access the Services; (ii) use the Services
for any unlawful purpose or in any unlawful manner, or in any manner which is otherwise contrary to or violates any
law, regulation or the rights of any third party; (iii) do anything to damage, disable, overburden, impair or otherwise
adversely affect, as we determine in our sole discretion, the Services or any data, software, networks or equipment
used to provide the Services; (iv) circumvent, disable or interfere with the security of, or otherwise abuse, the
Services or any of the data, software, networks or equipment used to provide the Services, including any security
features or functionality; (v) use excessive capacity, bandwidth or resources or disrupt or interfere with any other
person’s use or enjoyment of the Services; (vi) use another person’s subscriber identity module (or “SIM”) card, e-
mail address, password, personal identification number or other Device or information without that person’s and our
prior written authorization, create or use a false identity, impersonate any person or otherwise misrepresent your
identity; (vii) attempt to obtain unauthorized access to the Services or portions of the Services to which you have not
subscribed or are restricted from accessing; or (viii) harass, abuse or threaten any of our employees or
representatives.
(c) You agree not to use the Services to send, transmit or relay: (i) anything (including without limitation viruses and
trojan horses) which is intended to, is likely to or has the effect of disabling, denying access to, damaging or
destroying, corrupting or affecting the normal use of the Services, or any data, software, networks or equipment used
to provide the Services; (ii) any material that is or is reasonably likely to be construed as deceptive, fraudulent,
libellous, defamatory, threatening, intimidating, abusive, harassing, violent, hateful, degrading, obscene,
pornographic, profane, harmful or injurious to individuals, tortious or that may otherwise result in criminal, regulatory
or civil liability; (iii) any material that violates any agreement, intellectual property rights, moral rights, publicity rights,
privacy rights, fiduciary obligations or other rights of a third party; (iv) spam, chain letters, junk mail or any other type
of commercial solicitation or unsolicited mass e-mail or messaging; or (v) any material that contravenes any notice or
guideline posted by us on our website from time to time.
(d) We reserve the right to limit, restrict or block the use of certain third party applications, as determined from time to
time in our discretion and without notice.
(e) We have the right to monitor or investigate any content that is transmitted using the Services. We may also access
or preserve content or information to comply with legal process in Canada or foreign jurisdictions, operate the
Services, ensure compliance with these terms of service and protect ourselves, our customers or the public.
6. You Leaving Us
You can terminate the provision of Services at any time by contacting our call centre. We will cease providing the Services on the
day we receive your instructions to terminate. If you have your number transferred to another service provider, we will treat that as
your decision to terminate the provision of Services. We will cease providing the Services once the transfer is complete. You agree
to pay to us all charges that you’ve incurred up to the date we stop providing the Services, including for any Services provided or for
any equipment that you’ve purchased including an early termination fee equal to any unpaid MyTab balance. If you terminate the
provision of Services for some but not all Lines on your account, you may do so, but will be required to repay the MyTab balance
owing for the terminated Lines.
On or after expiry or termination of the Services for any reason, if your postpaid account has a credit balance less than ten dollars
($10.00), this credit balance will not be automatically refunded to you when the Services expire or are terminated. If your postpaid
account has a credit balance of ten dollars ($10.00) or more, we will refund that balance to you within thirty (30) days (i) by
processing the refund to a credit card used to make a recent payment on your account or (ii) by mailing a refund cheque to the last
known address that we have for you in our records or any other address that you instruct us to mail to. It is your responsibility to
keep us informed of any change in your credit card details or mailing address. Your failure to inform us of any such changes will, in
the event that any refund to your credit card is unsuccessful or any refund cheque mailed to you is returned as undeliverable, result
in the forfeiture to Freedom of the credit balance amount and any deposits on your account.
7. Us Leaving You
(a) you fail to pay an account that is past due, provided the amount owing exceeds fifty dollars ($50) or has been past
due for more than two months;
(b) you fail to provide or maintain a reasonable security deposit or alternative as requested by Freedom;
(c) you are in breach of any term or condition of these Terms of Service or of the Fair Usage Policy; or
(d) you have previously agreed to a deferred payment plan with Freedom and you fail to comply with its terms. If
Freedom is about to disconnect your Service, you will be provided with a minimum of 14 calendar days’ notice prior
to disconnection, and that notice will let you know (i) the reason for the disconnection and amount owing; (ii) the
scheduled disconnection date; (iii) information on the availability of deferred payment plans (if applicable); (iv) the
amount of the reconnection charge (if applicable); and (v) contact information for a Freedom representative who can
speak with you about the disconnection. Freedom will attempt to notify you at least 24 hours in advance of your
scheduled disconnection unless repeated attempts to contact you have failed. Disconnection will always occur on
weekdays between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. or on weekends between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (unless the weekday or weekend
day precedes a statutory holiday, in which case disconnection may not occur after noon) in your province or territory
of residence.
Freedom may also, without notice and for cause, suspend, cancel or refuse to provide Services to you where:
(f) Freedom has a reasonable suspicion that fraud is occurring or likely to occur;
(g) you misuse or abuse or permit others to misuse or abuse the Services for purposes that are contrary to law, these
Terms of Service or the Fair Usage Policy; or
(h) a pre-set spending limit is reached, such as for customers on credit-limited spending programs, in instances where
the customer was previously made aware of this limit.
If Freedom cancels your Services for cause, an early cancellation fee equal to your remaining MyTab balance will be charged and
you will remain responsible for all other charges payable on your account.
On or after expiry or termination of the Services for any reason, if your postpaid account has a credit balance less than ten dollars
($10.00), this credit balance will not be automatically refunded to you when Services expire or are terminated. If your postpaid
account has a credit balance of ten dollars ($10.00) or more, we will refund that balance to you within thirty (30) days (i) by
processing the refund to a credit card used to make a recent payment on your account or (ii) by mailing a refund cheque to the last
known address that we have for you in our records or any other address that you instruct us to mail to. It is your responsibility to
keep us informed of any change in your credit card details or mailing address. Your failure to inform us of any such changes will, in
the event that any refund to your credit card is unsuccessful or any refund cheque mailed to you is returned as undeliverable, result
in the forfeiture to Freedom of the credit balance amount and any deposits on your account.
(a) SIM cards are provided to you only for your use of the Services. You may not use your SIM card for any other
purpose. You may only use a SIM card provided by us or an authorized retailer specifically to you in order to access
the Services and may not use a SIM card provided by any other person without our prior written consent.
(b) You agree not to modify, reprogram, copy, spoof, reverse engineer, monitor, probe, scan, decode or analyze
(including through the use of packet analyzers) any numbers, codes, components or programming on your Device,
equipment or SIM card or in any software, hardware or networks used to provide the Services, that are used for
identification, authentication or control of transceiver functions or operator privileges or any transmissions used to
provide the Services, or permit anyone else to do so, other than one of our authorized representatives. Except as
required for the normal use of the Services, you agree not to disclose such information to anyone other than our
authorized representatives. You acknowledge and agree that if you unlock your Device using unlock codes that are
not provided by us the warranty on your Device may become void.
(c) You acknowledge and agree that we may transmit or remotely install software, firmware and other updates on your
Device and equipment from time to time in order to maintain, enhance or correct the Services, without notice or
liability.
9. Device Warranty
(a) New Devices, End of Life Devices and other equipment, are covered by the manufacturer’s limited warranty, a copy
of which is available at the manufacturer’s website.
(b) Lightly Loved and Refurbished Devices are final sale and do not carry a manufacturer’s warranty. You can
exchange, subject to Device availability, a defective Device within the trial period at the same Freedom Mobile store
the Device was purchased from, provided the Device is free from physical damage and is accompanied by the
packaging and accessories provided, along with the original sales receipt.
Except as required by law, we do not offer, and expressly disclaim, any representation, warranty or condition in respect of
Devices or equipment, whether express or implied, and have no obligation or liability in respect of Devices or equipment.
(a) You agree to pay us the charges applicable to the Services whether or not they have been incurred by you
personally. The charges for your Services were set out in the agreement you signed when you activated your
Service(s). You can also find them in the My Account tool located on our website at freedommobile.ca/myaccount.
Charges will commence from the time you activate the Services or 14 days after your agreement start date,
whichever is earlier. If you are adding or changing a Service, from the time that addition or change is made. Some of
the charges are flat fees charged for a particular plan, add-on or value added Service package each month, starting
from the time you activate the Service, while other charges are calculated based on the amount of the Services you
use. You also agree to pay all applicable taxes, duties and governmental or regulatory fees, surcharges or levies that
apply to the Services or our charges. Contact us if you want to change your plan and add or remove Services. Any
changes (if not stated differently) will take place within 48 hours. Charges may be pro-rated accordingly based on
the date such change is made. You may only change your plan, add-ons or a value added Service package once in
any given invoicing period.
(b) You can pay for our Services either through a post-paid monthly invoice or pre-pay in advance, using any of the
methods that we describe on your invoice or on our website. We reserve the right to approve you or require
additional conditions (such as satisfactory credit checks, an up-front deposit, limitations on types or quantity of
Services available, or caps on the charges you may incur) for the payment option you select. If we require a credit
check, you authorize us to collect and use information on your past credit history from third parties. We reserve the
right to provide information regarding your payments to us to third party collection agencies. We reserve the right to
refuse to provide some or all Services to you, or terminate or suspend Services to you, or require additional
conditions to be met, based on the results of your credit check or other criteria, as we determine in our sole
discretion.
(c) If you have requested pre-authorized payments, you agree that we may charge to your credit card, bank account or
other payment instrument all outstanding charges on the date which they are due and you authorize us to keep your
pre-authorized payment details on file. You agree to notify us of any changes to the details of your pre-payment
method as required in order to process such charges. You may also choose to authorize us to keep your credit card
on file for future one-time payments made by you. You confirm that you are authorized to use the method of
payment provided to us and that you have the right to use that method to pay such charges.
(d) If you have concerns regarding any of the charges posted to your account, contact us through our call centre. You
agree that: (i) charges for away zone usage, roaming or long distance calls that you do not dispute within 30 days
after being posted to your account; and (ii) all other charges that you do not dispute within 60 days after being posted
to your account, will be deemed to be correct and accepted by you.
(a) If you’ve chosen (and we have approved) postpaid monthly invoicing, your invoice will be made available to you in an
electronic format by logging into your My Account at our website. Notification of new invoices may be sent to you at
the e-mail address you have provided us. You are responsible for ensuring that the e-mail address you have
provided is valid and that you are able to check it regularly. If you do not receive notifications of new invoices by e-
mail, you are still responsible for logging into your account at our website to check for new invoices on a regular
basis and for paying all amounts by the due date specified. You agree to pay each invoice in full by the due date
specified on it. If we don’t receive payment by such due date, you will be charged interest calculated and
compounded monthly on the outstanding amount at the rate of 2% per month (26.82% per year) from the date of the
first bill on which it appears until paid in full. We may also charge you for reasonable administrative or collection
costs that we incur. If your payment is rejected by your financial institution, we may charge you an administrative
fee. We also reserve the right to change the invoicing frequency or to issue interim invoices in our discretion and
without notice.
(b) If we determine in our discretion that a deposit is required, we will notify you of the amount required and any change
in that amount from time to time. Deposits will bear interest at our current rate – Bank of Canada rate PLUS 1%
(bankofcanada.ca/rates/interest-rates/). If you do not pay the full balance of any invoice when due, we may deduct
any unpaid balance from your deposit and apply it to that invoice, in which case you will also be required to top-up
the deposit. We may terminate or suspend Services if you do not maintain the specified deposit amount or if an
unpaid balance remains past due after applying the entire deposit. We may also determine, in our sole discretion,
that based on your payment history we no longer require you to maintain a deposit. We will return any remaining
balance of a deposit to you within 30 days as a service credit against your account or, at your request, via cheque.
(c) If you pay us more than the amount due on a given invoice, we will carry forward the overpayment and apply it to
your next invoice. No interest will be paid on any credit balance. If your account is in a credit balance at the time all
Services are terminated after application against all outstanding charges, any remaining credit balance, if it is ten
dollars ($10.00) or greater, will be refunded to you as set out above.
(a) If you’ve chosen pre-payment, you must maintain your account in a credit balance in order to use the Services. No
interest is paid on credit balances. Your account is credited when we receive payment from you. You should only
pre-pay for Services you expect to use, as all pre-payments are non-refundable. Your credit balance will first be
applied to your monthly plan charges, then to any other fixed monthly charges, then to any pay per use or variable
charges. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible at all times to keep a sufficient balance in your
account to cover all services used.
(b) If you do not have sufficient credit on your account to allow the deduction of the monthly fee for the plan that you’ve
chosen when it’s due, you will be notified by text message and all your Services will be suspended. If you top up
your account within 90 days of such notification to allow for the deduction of the applicable monthly fees, your
Services will be reinstated. If you do not, your Services will automatically be terminated at the end of such 90 day
period, you will forfeit any remaining credit balance, and we reserve the right to reallocate the telephone number that
had been reserved for you. If you do not have sufficient credit on your account to allow the deduction of other fixed
monthly charges or for pay per use charges, the relevant Services will be suspended until you top up your account
with sufficient funds to allow for the deduction of such charges.
If you find that you and your new Freedom Mobile product(s) aren’t a perfect match within 15 days, return to the store where you
made your purchase and as long as the product(s) are in like-new condition, and include the original packaging, accessories and
receipt, we will provide a refund or an exchange. If you return the product(s) or cancel your Services within 15 days, no early
cancellation fee will be charged but you will be required to pay for any pay-per-use usage charges, including long distance minutes
and roaming charges. Extended trial period: Persons with disabilities may require additional time to familiarize themselves with and
integrate a new mobile Device into existing, and/or possibly new, assistive technology and software. Freedom Mobile provides a 30
day trial period during which customers who self-identify as having a disability can terminate their Services without penalty. Devices
provided by Freedom that are in like-new condition, and which include the original packaging, accessories and receipt, may be
returned to the original purchase location.
14. Promotions
We may, from time to time, offer promotions relating to our Services. When we offer promotions relating to our Services, we reserve
the right to change the promotions we offer from time to time (including without limitation the terms and conditions applicable to such
promotions) without notice.

(g) You acknowledge and agree that: (i) you will have no contractual relationship whatsoever with a carrier upon which

OR OMISSIONS AND THOSE OF OUR AFFILIATES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS AND OUR AND THEIR
RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, SUPPLIERS, AGENTS AND REPRESENTATIVES
(COLLECTIVELY, THE “SUPPLIER PARTIES”), AND WILL APPLY IRRESPECTIVE OF THE NATURE OF THE

17. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold the Supplier Parties (as defined above) harmless from and against any and all claims, actions or
demands, judgements against the Supplier Parties and all losses and expenses the Supplier Parties suffer, including without
limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising from or in connection with your use or misuse of the Services or any breach
of these Terms of Service.
(a) You must have an e-mail address and internet access that are accessible through means other than the Services in
order to use the Services, as we will use your e-mail address and our website to communicate with you, including
communications to advise of suspensions or interruptions to Service. You are responsible for all equipment and
services required for such e-mail and internet access. We may also send you communications by text message to
your phone and, occasionally, by phone, voice-mail or regular postal mail.
(b) If you would like to contact us to discuss the Services, you may do it using any of the ways described on our website.
If you would like to send us a letter by post, we’d be happy to hear from you. Please send it to Freedom Mobile Inc.,
207 Queen’s Quay West, Suite 710, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5J 1A7, attention: Executive Office. You agree that
legal claims against us must be sent to us by post or courier at this address, with a copy to the attention of our Legal
Department at Suite 900, 630 – 3rd Avenue SW, Calgary, AB, Canada, T2P 4L4. If you have complaints, we would
encourage you to contact us first. However, you may also contact the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-
television Services Inc. (the “CCTS”) directly at any time if you have a complaint regarding us or our Services. You
can contact the CCTS through their website at ccts-cprst.ca, by e-mail at response@ccts-cprst.ca, by telephone at 1-
888-221-1687 (toll-free), 1-877-782-2384 (TTY) or by post at P.O. Box 81088, Ottawa, Ontario K1P 1B1. The
Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (the “CRTC”) has created a Wireless Code so that
consumers of retail mobile wireless voice and data services will be better informed of their rights and obligations
contained in contracts with wireless services providers. You can find out more about the Wireless Code on the
CRTC website at: crtc.gc.ca/eng/info_sht/t14.htm.
(c) When ordering the Services, a randomly generated personal identification number (your “PIN”) will be sent by text
message to the first phone number you activate. You will need your PIN to access My Account at our website or for
any other changes or inquiries into your account. We will use the PIN to validate that the person contacting us is
authorized to give us instructions, make changes on your account and make inquiries, and will be entitled to treat all
such communications as authorized by you if your PIN is provided to us. It is your responsibility to keep your PIN
safe and secure and not to disclose it to anyone (except as described below). You are solely responsible for any
actions taken using your PIN. You should only provide your PIN when logging into My Account at our website or to
our customer care representatives. If you forget your PIN we might ask you for additional identification. Also, you
agree that your PIN can be sent to your phone number. You can customize this PIN through My Account. If you
want to authorize other individuals to access your account, you can do this through My Account and they will be sent
their own unique PIN. If you ever need to reset your PIN, you can reset it through My Account and we will send you a
reset link to the email address on file.
(d) If you believe the security of your PIN has been compromised, or you suspect unauthorized use, or your Device or
SIM card is lost, stolen, damaged or tampered with, notify us immediately by requesting a PIN reset through My
Account for a compromised PIN or by calling us for any other reason listed. You will be responsible for all changes
to your account, use of Services and charges, whether by you or anyone else, until you notify us. Once you notify
us, we may suspend your account and may arrange for a new account to continue your use of the Services and, if
required, a new SIM card. Replacement of lost or stolen Devices will be your responsibility.
(e) When you notify us that your Device has been lost or stolen, Freedom shall immediately suspend your Services at no
charge and these Terms of Service will continue to apply, including your obligation to pay (i) all charges incurred
before we received notice that the Device was lost or stolen; and (ii) either the minimum monthly charge (plus taxes)
if you continue with your services agreement or the remaining MyTab balance (if applicable), if you decide to cancel
your Services. If you notify us that your Device has been located or replaced and request that the Services be
restored, then Freedom shall restore the Services at no charge.
(a) We will ask you, and you agree to provide us, with certain personal and other information in order for us to provide
the Services to you, such as your contact details and information we require to process your payments, such as your
credit card information. You need to provide us with current, complete and accurate information, and keep us up-to-
date as soon as your information changes. You can do so by logging into My Account at our website or through our
call centre. All personal information that you provide to us will be administered by us in accordance with our Privacy
Policy as amended from time to time. By activating the Services, you consent to us using your personal and other
information in accordance with our Privacy Policy as amended from time to time. In addition you expressly consent
that we may share your personal information with:
1. You or a person who, in our reasonable judgement, is seeking the information as your agent;
2. A directory or listing service company for the purpose of listing your name, address and phone number if you
consent and if that company agrees to use the information only for that purpose; and
3. An agent used by us to evaluate your credit or collect outstanding balances owed to us by you, if the agent
requires the information and agrees to use the information only for that purpose.
(b) We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor usage of the Services and disclose information in order to
satisfy legal, regulatory or governmental requirements, to properly administer the Services and to safeguard the
Services, any data, software, networks or equipment used to provide the Services and our customers.

21. Arbitration
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that, unless we agree otherwise, all claims, disputes or disagreements
(“Disputes”) between you and us relating to the Services, Terms of Service, Devices, equipment or any related promotions,
advertisements, statements or communications will be settled by confidential, final and binding arbitration by a single arbitrator in the
forum and under the rules we mutually agree upon, failing which the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario) will apply.
Where the foregoing is not permitted by applicable law, you agree that you will refer all Disputes to the Commission for Complaints
for Telecom-television Services (CCTS) for resolution prior to initiating a claim in any court of law.
You agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, these Terms of Service will be governed exclusively by the laws of the
province of Ontario.
23. General
If any part of these Terms of Service is for any reason unenforceable, then that part will be considered severable from the Terms of
Service without affecting the validity of the rest of the Terms of Service. The Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement
between you and us in respect of the Services. You may not assign the Terms of Service or any of your rights or obligations under
the Terms of Service, including by operation of law, without our prior written consent, which we may withhold in our discretion or
make subject to conditions (such as a credit check, validation of identity or an administrative fee). We may assign the Terms of
Service in our sole discretion. The Terms of Service shall benefit and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted
assigns of the parties hereto. No waiver of any breach of the Terms of Service by you is effective unless made in writing and signed
by us and, unless otherwise provided, is limited to the specific breach waived.
