Emergency Maintenance activities may occur outside of Standard Maintenance Windows, without notification, and may be service affecting. Emergency maintenance is undertaken with the intent of minimizing the overall impact to our customers. Our Network Operations Center tracks each event to conclusion.

Inquiries regarding any change activity may be made by reply to the email notification or by calling The Shaw Business Network Operations Center at 1-866-244-7475 or noc@shawbusinesssolutions.ca.

Business Voice Acceptable Use Policy

Introduction

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") governs the customer's use of business voice services provided by Shaw Business (the "Service" or "Services") and any devices and/or equipment used to support the Service, including without limitation, any equipment or software used in conjunction with the Service which is loaned to customer from SB for customer's use solely in connection with the Service (collectively, the "Equipment").

SB may amend this AUP from time to time and will update the revision date on the AUP posted on line atwww.shaw.ca/sbsto indicate when changes have been made. All changes will take effect within 30 days of the date of being posted. CUSTOMER'S CONTINUED USE OF THE SERVICE AFTER CHANGES ARE POSTED WILL BE DEEMED ACCEPTANCE OF THE AMENDED AUP.

Uses and Restrictions

Customer may only use the Service from customer's equipment located at customer's service location as specified in the applicable service appendix signed by customer and SB. The Services are only to be used for normal business calling purposes such as person to person conversations or voice messages.

Customer is solely responsible for use of the Service provided to it by SB, regardless if such use occurred without the customer's consent or knowledge.

Customer may not use the Service for any applications which exceed the network resources for which customer has contracted for under the applicable Service Appendix by more than 120%

The Service may not be used for any activity that violates any local, provincial, federal, international or other applicable law or regulation.

If SB believes, in its sole discretion, that a violation of this AUP has occurred (whether direct or indirect), it may take any responsive action it deems necessary, including suspending or terminating the Services.

Customer abuse or misuse of the Service or breach of any term contained in this AUP may result in the Service being terminated by SB.

CUSTOMER IS REQUIRED TO CONTACT SB BEFORE USING ANY MEDICAL MONITORING DEVICES THROUGH THE SERVICE.

Service Interruptions

SB does not warrant uninterrupted use of the Service. Customer is responsible to ensure that any customer provided equipment used with the Service is compatible with the Equipment and the Service. Most importantly, some equipment may not operate if there is a power failure, resulting in customer losing the ability to use the Service, including access to 9-1-1 emergency services until the power is restored. A power failure or disruption in the Service may require SB to reset or reconfigure the Equipment prior to customer being able to utilize the Service.

Re-Sold Service

Where re-sold telephone service is being provided to customer by SB, as all or part of the Service: (i) maintenance for the local and long distance telephone service may be provided by parties other than SB; and (ii) all local and long distance telephone services may be subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the primary service provider (including applicable tariffs) with respect to the Service. SB reserves the right to provide re-sold local phone service as a SB local service.

Automatic-Dialing Announcing Devices

SB enforces all Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission rules on Automatic- Dialing Announcing Devices ("ADAD") and unsolicited voice and facsimile calls made for the purpose of solicitation. The use of ADAD to make unsolicited calls for the purpose of solicitation, or to place calls to emergency lines or healthcare facilities is strictly prohibited. If customer violates these restrictions or those posted by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission SB may terminate the Service immediately.

The same restrictions that apply to ADAD apply to unsolicited voice and facsimile calls made for the purposes of solicitation. Persons placing unsolicited voice or facsimile calls to solicit are to ensure that an individual's request not to be called again is respected. The individual's name and telephone number must be removed from calling lists within 30 days of receipt of the request.

Directory Service

  1. Customer's name, address and telephone number(s) will be published in the telephone directory for customer's area unless customer contacts SB to advise it does not wish its information to be published in the telephone directory.
  2. In the case of errors or omissions in customer's name, address or telephone number(s) in the directory listings, whether or not the error or omission is with regard to telephone number, address, individual or business name, SB is only responsible to provide customer a refund or credit of any charges associated with the listings in question for the period during which the error or omission occurred.

Provision of 9-1-1 Access

  1. Customer may use the Service to receive access to emergency services through the 9-1-1 service provider. The emergency 9-1-1 fee charged by the municipality may be billed by SB each month as part of customer's monthly charge for the Service or may be billed directly to customer by the municipality.
  2. Emergency 9-1-1 service will not be accessible during any suspension or interruption of the Service, including as a result of a power failure.

Hearing Impaired Assistance

  1. Customer will have access to Hearing Impaired Assistance services through the Service. Hearing Impaired Assistance operators are available to assist customer in placing calls to or from persons who use a telecommunications device for the deaf ("TDD") machine. Long distance charges may apply.
  2. Hearing Impaired Assistance enables customers to communicate with deaf, hard-of-hearing, and speech impaired individuals by relaying messages between TDD's and conventional phone users.

Alternate Billing Format

Upon request, SB will provide invoices in an alternate format for the visually impaired.

Credit and Security Deposit

SB reserves the right to examine your credit records at any time, whether before or after providing the Services.

SB's Liability

SB shall not be liable for:

  1. any interruption or unavailability of the Services, including, without limitation, any interruption or unavailability of emergency 9-1-1 service;
  2. any act or omission of any third party including, but not limited to, any other local telephone company, any connecting carrier or underlying carrier or other provider of connections, facilities or services;
  3. your conduct, acts or omissions;
  4. SB's failure, for any reason, to activate the Services on the activation date requested;
