After ninety (90) days with no active Service Plan, your phone number will be automatically cancelled and will be available for reassignment to another user.
Service Plans
We offer monthly or multi-month service plans ("Service Plans"). We reserve the right to change the Service Plan you are on if your Device is not supported on the Service Plan you select. Some Service Plan changes may be conditioned on the payment of certain charges, and depending on your plan, you may forfeit your remaining Service Plan if your Service Plans change.
Charges
You are responsible for paying all Charges for Services provided under this Agreement, including Charges made by any person you permit to have direct or indirect access to your Device even if you did not authorize its use. These may include, but are not limited to, (a) monthly access charges; (b) usage charges (if your plan includes metered usage); (c) charges for features and add-ons; (d) taxes, fees and other assessments imposed by the government that we are required to collect and remit to the government (to determine your primary place of use ("PPU") and which jurisdiction's taxes and assessments to collect, you are required to provide us with your street address; if you do not provide an address or it is outside our Service area, we will designate a PPU within the Service area for you or we may terminate your Service); (e) other fees and charges including activation, reactivation, prepayment, convenience payment, restocking, Device unlocking, SIM replacement, number change, express delivery, upgrade, program, or other fees, including specific transaction fees, relating to Services and Devices purchased from us; and (f) surcharges that we collect and retain from our customers that include, but are not limited to, federal or provincial regulatory charges, administrative fees, and government taxes or fees imposed on gross receipts, sales and/or property that we incur in providing Services to our customers.

Amounts paid for Service Plans are non-refundable and Service Plans are not transferable, refundable or redeemable. If your Service Plan is suspended or cancelled for any reason you will not be entitled to any refund.

We may also charge you a fee to reactivate Service depending on when you reactivate.

Yes, we may change the Services offered, including rates, and any term of the Agreement, at any time without notice. If required, we will give you notice of these changes using a reasonable method to bring it to your attention, such as through website, email or text message. By purchasing service after a change is posted, including by continuing to purchase renewal service plans, you accept the current terms of service. You can cancel service at any time, without penalty or cancellation fees.

Your Mobile Services
What limits apply to my Service?
You may only use our service for your own individual use, with compatible devices and in compliance with the law. You also agree not to:
▪ Resell service or receive any charge or benefit for the use of the service by any third party;
▪ Use, or otherwise facilitate the use of, the service to send any threatening or obscene material or to harass, embarrass or invade the privacy of another person;
▪ Engage, or otherwise facilitate the engagement of, in any activity that could compromise the security of the service or any network or computers on the Internet, or that could interfere with the services of any Internet access provider;
▪ Use, or otherwise facilitate the use of, the service in any way that requires excessive network capacity or that may adversely affect other SpeakOut Wireless customers or the service;

Where will I have coverage?
Our service covers almost all of the populated areas in Canada. Coverage areas, and the connectivity in these areas, will depend on the availability of network facilities. These are subject to change from time to time, without notice. A coverage map reflecting the approximate geographic coverage area, for general informational purposes only, of our Underlying Carrier and its roaming partners can be found on our website at https://www.speakout7eleven.ca/. However, we do not guarantee coverage or Service availability. Coverage maps are generated using generally accepted methodologies and standards but are only approximations of actual coverage. There may be locations within the estimated coverage area where actual coverage is limited and you may experience interruptions or reductions in Service quality, including due to interference from buildings and other structures, terrain, and foliage. Additionally, actual coverage at any given time may vary by Service and be affected by factors beyond our control. Coverage maps and any statements by us, our agents, or dealers about coverage are only intended to provide high-level estimates of our coverage area when you are using our Services outdoors under optimal conditions and do not mean that service will be available under all circumstances, at all times, or without interruption. We do not guarantee or warrant the coverage of the network of our Underlying Carrier or its roaming partners. Where there is no coverage, 911 calls may not reach public safety answering points. In such instances, subscribers should dial 911 from the nearest landline phone. Coverage maps may be updated periodically and without notice to reflect the current operations of our Underlying Carrier and its roaming partners.
Can I stay connected when I travel outside of Canada?
Roaming service on the prepaid platform is available only in places where SpeakOut Wireless’s Underlying Carrier has roaming agreements with other telecommunications companies that have compatible network technology and are within their coverage areas. There may also be times when you are charged for roaming while still within SpeakOut Wireless coverage areas. This will happen if your device’s radio signal is picked up by a cell tower located in the coverage area of another wireless service provider.
When you are roaming, you will be connected using the services of another wireless service provider. As a result, you will be responsible for all applicable charges and are subject to the terms and conditions of the service as imposed by that other provider (these may include limitations of liability and possibly the provision of unwanted services and content). Please keep in mind that special numbers for emergency services and operator assistance may vary by country, so the numbers that you use in Canada may not work. It is your responsibility to look up and use country-specific numbers when roaming outside of Canada.
Will my Services always work in coverage area?
We monitor our networks to keep them running continuously. However, there are times when we must temporarily suspend or restrict the service to maintain, restore or repair the network. Also, to ensure fair network access to all users, we may manage network resources using methods including, but not limited to:▪ Allocation of bandwidth, which may limit the availability or speed of data service;
▪ Filtering for spam and malicious content, which may occasionally result in unintended blocking of inoffensive content; and
▪ Restricting the network access available to specific transmission protocols.
▪ For a description of the network management practices please see optimization.
In addition, service failure or interruptions can occur due to events beyond our reasonable control. These may include:
▪ Atmospheric conditions (including solar activities);
▪ Physical obstacles interfering with the transmission of radio signals;
▪ Limitations on the capacity of the network or carry traffic from all nearby users;
▪ Technical limitations of the systems of other telecommunications companies or limitations of the interconnection of transmission facilities;
▪ Defects or failures in network equipment; or
▪ Emergency or public safety requirements.
What speeds can I expect?
You can expect access to the network technologies and speeds that were available to you when you activated your current plan. We may offer service at different speeds, and you may be required to change your plan to get access to new network technologies, features or speeds. Speeds may vary with your device, internet traffic, location, environmental conditions and other factors.
Do I own my wireless telephone number?
You have the right to take (or “port”) your phone number to another Canadian telecommunications service provider. However, please note that you do not own your number. If you leave SpeakOut Wireless and choose not to take your phone number with you, we have the right to assign your number to another customer.
Your wireless devices(s)
Can I use any device with my SpeakOut Wireless Service?
Although we are able to support a wide range of devices, not all devices will work on our Underlying Carrier networks. Your wireless device and software must meet our standards to access our service and operate properly with our service. Such standards may change from time to time at our sole discretion and you are responsible for updating your device and software as necessary to meet these standards. We may also remotely update and change the software and settings on your device at any time without notice to ensure that it continues to operate properly on our service. A device that has been reported lost or stolen cannot be used with the service.
Service is subject to transmission limitations caused by certain Equipment (“Equipment” means any device, equipment or hardware used to access the Services or used in conjunction with the Services, including any SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card), and compatibility issues, atmospheric, topographical and other conditions. Further, you acknowledge that Service may be temporarily refused, limited, interrupted or curtailed due to system capacity limitations, technology migration or limitations imposed by the Carrier network, or because of Equipment modifications, upgrades, repairs or relocations or other similar activities necessary or proper for the operation or improvement of the Carrier’s radio telephone system. At any time we, or our Equipment manufacturer, reserve the right to substitute and/or replace any of our Equipment (including phones) with other Equipment including phones of comparable quality. Some functions and features referenced in the User Guide provided with your phone may not be available on your SpeakOut Wireless Service. We do not warrant or guarantee availability of network or of any Services at any specific time or geographic location or that the Services will be provided without interruption. Neither we, nor any Carrier, shall have any liability for Service failures, outages or limitations of Service, including the inaccessibility of 911, public alerts or special needs Services. Because of the risk of being struck by lightning, you should not use your Service outside during a lightning storm. You should also unplug the phone power cord and charger to avoid electrical shock and fire during a lightning storm.
To the maximum extent permitted by law we do not guarantee or warrant the performance of the Equipment or the Services, or any products, services, networks or connections used or provided by us or third parties. All applicable express and implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are hereby specifically disclaimed, and all representations, warranties and conditions, of any kind, express or implied are hereby excluded to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. In no event shall we be responsible or liable for any loss, loss of profits or any incidental or consequential damages arising from this Agreement or from your use of the Services, however caused or arising. You bear the entire risk as to the use, quality, reliability, security and performance of the Equipment and the Services. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from Province to Province.
You are solely responsible for the installation, operation and maintaining the security and privacy of your property and your wireless equipment including wireless mobile phones, the Equipment or our facilities or network; and protecting against any breaches of security or privacy or other risks involved in installing, using, maintaining or changing the Services or the Equipment. You must ensure that your wireless equipment is compatible with and will not interfere with our Service, and that it complies with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. We only support equipment authorized for sale by us. If your equipment is intelligent roaming capable, it shall be periodically programmed with default system settings for roaming service that cannot be changed manually. Your wireless telephone may be compatible only with SpeakOut Wireless Services. You agree to safeguard your SIM Card and not to allow any unauthorized person to use your SIM Card. You agree that you or any other person shall not directly or indirectly alter, bypass, copy, deactivate, remove, reverse-engineer or otherwise circumvent or reproduce the encoded information stored on, or the encryption mechanisms of, your SIM Card. We may, from time to time, remotely update or change the encoded information on your SIM Card. If your SIM card is placed in an unsupported device, we do not guarantee service or may terminate Service. If your SIM card is lost, stolen or damaged, a replacement fee will apply.
Replacement SIM cards are available at an additional charge and telephone number changes are subject to a change fee for each change.
What do I need to know if I am on SpeakOut Wireless Prepaid Service?
Rates for Service Plans may change without notice. Your plan will provide services according to the terms of your specific plan. After expiration of your plan, you must purchase a renewal plan to avoid discontinuation of service to you. Plans vary but ordinarily expire after thirty days but renew automatically if you have registered for Automatic Credit Card payment or by purchasing a top-up voucher and adding it to your account. Service is suspended if your Service Plan is unable to renew. Your account will be deactivated and you’ll lose access to service, your phone number, and any funds remaining on your account, including your add-ons if you do not have an active Service Plan for 90 days. Amounts paid for Prepaid service plans are non- refundable and are not reimbursed if service is cancelled. You can queue a change of a Service Plan at any time but the new Service Plan will only go into effect once the current Service Plan expires. You will not receive any credit for the unused days of the previous plan. Add-ons are available with an active Service Plan, and will expire when the current Service Plan renews.

Who is responsible if someone else uses my account?

Warranties

WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT OUR SERVICES WILL (i) MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (ii) ALLOW ACCESS TO ALL THIRD-PARTY SITES, OR (iii) BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR FREE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE AGREEMENT OR OUR SERVICES TERMS OF USE.

We will not be liable for any act or omission of any other company furnishing a part of our Services or any equipment (including the Equipment) or for any damages that result from any Service or equipment provided by or manufactured by third parties.

These limitations of liability apply to acts or omissions by us, our partners, affiliates and the Suppliers and each of us and our respective officers, directors, employees, suppliers, agents, representatives, consultants or other persons for whom in law such parties are responsible (together "Representatives"), which would give rise to a cause of action in tort, contract or any other doctrine of law.
Relating to the provision of 911 emergency services to end-users on a mandatory basis (pursuant to Telecom Decision CRTC 2003-53) except in cases where negligence on our part results in physical injury, death or damage to the customer property or premises, our liability for negligence related to the provision of emergency services on a mandatory basis (including the provision of your SpeakOut Wireless phone number and location information to emergency service providers) is limited to the greater of $20 and three times the amount the customer would otherwise be entitled to receive as compensation for the provision of defective service under the contract between SpeakOut Wireless and the customer. In respect of the provision of 911 emergency services available on a mandatory basis, we are not liable: (i) for libel, slander, defamation or the infringement of copyright arising from content transmitted over our telecommunications network from the customer's property or premises or recorded by the customer's equipment or our equipment; (ii) for damages arising out of the act, default, neglect or omission of the customer in the use or operation of equipment provided by us; or (iii) for damages arising out of the transmission of content through the Service on behalf of the customer which is in any way unlawful.

Your Privacy
How is my privacy protected?
Your privacy is important to us. We have a long-standing policy of protecting the privacy of our customers in all of our business operations. Our respective Privacy Policies set out the principles that govern the collection, use and disclosure of our customers’ personal information and reflect our continuing commitment to protecting their privacy. All information we keep with respect to you and your service, other than your name and address, is confidential. Unless you provide your express consent or unless disclosure is required under the law, your information may not be disclosed by us to anyone other than:
▪ You or a person who, in our reasonable judgement, is seeking the information as your agent;
▪ Another telecommunications company, but only if the information is used to establish or to efficiently provide telecommunications service, the disclosure is made on a confidential basis, and the information is used solely for the purpose;
▪ An affiliate involved in supplying you with telecommunications and/or broadcasting services, provided the information is required for that purpose and disclosure is made on a confidential basis with the information used only for that purpose;
▪ 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;
▪ An agent used by us to evaluate your credit or collect outstanding amounts owed to SpeakOut Wireless by you, if the agent requires the information and agrees to use the information only for that purpose;
▪ A public authority or its agent if we are subject to a request or subpoena from such authority or reasonably believe that there is danger to life or property that could be avoided or reduced by disclosure of the information;
▪ A law enforcement agency if we reasonably believe that you or anyone using your device is engaged in fraudulent or unlawful activities against us.
By “express consent”, we mean:
▪ Written consent;
▪ Oral confirmation verified by an independent third party;
▪ Electronic confirmation through the use of a toll-free number;
▪ Electronic confirmation via the Internet;
▪ Oral consent, where an audio recording of the consent is retained by SpeakOut Wireless; or
▪ Consent through other methods, as long as an objective documented record of your consent is created by you or by an independent third party.

Subject to the above, you agree that we may collect, use and disclose personal information about you for the purposes identified in the SpeakOut Wireless Privacy Policy as it may be amended from time to time.

service. We may also suspend or cancel service in order to install, maintain, test, repair, remove, replace, modify, upgrade or improve the operation of the Services or the network.
