We acknowledge that the sharing of your personal information in any or all of the five ways described above is at your option and we will not refuse you access to any product or service merely because you have advised us to stop using or sharing your personal information in any or all of the five ways shown.

If we want to use your personal information for a new purpose, we will disclose this to you and ask for your consent unless the new use is already authorized or required by law.

COOKIES

A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your computer by your web browser to remember preferences, shopping cart contents or other information from the Airtelwireless.ca web site. We may use cookies to improve functionality and to provide a more interactive online experience. Cookies may also enable us to track and target your interests to enhance your online experience. If your web browser’s preferences are set to disallow the use of cookies, some areas of our site may not function correctly.

CONSENT

We will obtain your consent to collect, use or disclose personal information except where we are authorized or required by law to do so without consent. For example, we may collect, use or disclose personal information without your knowledge or consent where:

  • the information is publicly available, as defined by statute or regulation;
  • we are obtaining legal advice; or
  • we reasonably expect that obtaining consent would compromise an investigation or proceeding.

Other exceptions may apply.

Your consent can be express, implied or given through an authorized representative such as a lawyer or agent.

Consent may be provided orally, in writing, electronically, through inaction (such as when you fail to notify us that you do not wish your personal information collected/used/disclosed for various purposes after you have received notice of those purposes) or otherwise.

You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal, contractual and other restrictions, provided that you give reasonable notice of withdrawal of consent to us. On receipt of notice of withdrawal of consent, we will inform you of the likely consequences of the withdrawal of consent, which may include the inability of us to provide certain services for which that information is necessary.

LIMITS ON COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will not collect personal information indiscriminately but will limit collection of personal information to that which is reasonable and necessary. We will also collect personal information as authorized by law.

LIMITS FOR USING, DISCLOSING AND RETAINING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Your personal information will only be used or disclosed for the purposes set out above and as authorized by law.

We will keep personal information used to make a decision affecting you for at least one year after using it to make the decision, except to the extent that you delete or remove that information yourself.

We will destroy, erase or make anonymous documents or other records containing personal information as soon as it is reasonable to assume that the original purpose is no longer being served by retention of the information and retention is no longer necessary for a legal or business purpose. Please note, however, it is sometimes not possible or practical to delete information from all backup media, especially if that media is stored offsite or contains co-mingled data.

We will take due care when destroying personal information to prevent unauthorized access to the information.

ACCURACY

We will make a reasonable effort to ensure that personal information we are using or disclosing is accurate and complete. If you demonstrate the inaccuracy or incompleteness of personal information, we will amend the information as required. If appropriate, we will send the amended information to third parties to whom the information has been disclosed. When a challenge regarding the accuracy of personal information is not resolved to your satisfaction, we will annotate the personal information under our control with a note that the correction was requested but not made.

SAFEGUARDING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We protect the personal information in our custody or control by making reasonable security arrangements to prevent unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks.

We will take reasonable steps, through contractual or other reasonable means, to ensure that a comparable level of personal information protection is implemented by the suppliers and agents who assist in providing services to us. Some specific safeguards may include:

  • physical measures such as locked filing cabinets;
  • organizational measures such as restricting employee access to files and databases as appropriate;
  • electronic measures such as passwords and firewalls; and
  • investigative measures where we have reasonable grounds to believe that personal information is being inappropriately collected, used or disclosed.

Also, you might receive messages from third parties. We cannot ensure that these third parties will respect your privacy, so you should be very cautious about sharing any personal information with them.

PROVIDING ACCESS

You have a right to access your personal information held by us.

Upon written request and authentication of identity, we will provide you your personal information under our control. We will also give you information about the ways in which that information is being used and a description of the individuals and organizations to whom that information has been disclosed. We may charge you a reasonable fee for doing so.

We will make the information available within 30 days of receiving a written request or provide written notice where additional time is required to fulfil the request.

In some situations, we may not be able to provide access to certain personal information (e.g., if disclosure would reveal personal information about another individual, the personal information is protected by solicitor/client privilege, the information was collected for the purposes of an investigation or where disclosure of the information would reveal confidential commercial information that could harm the competitive position of us). We may also be prevented by law from providing access to certain personal information.

Where an access request is refused, we will notify you in writing, document the reasons for refusal and outline further steps which are available to you.

COMPLAINTS

We will, on request, provide information regarding our complaint procedure.

Any inquiries, complaints or questions regarding this Policy should be directed in writing to our Privacy Officer as follows:

(403) 257-7100 or e-mail at connect@airtelwireless.ca

CHANGES

We may change this policy from time to time. Please check our website frequently for updates.

You may terminate the Service Agreement at any time by providing written notice to Airtel at least 5 business days prior to the 24th day of each month to Airtel. Airtel will record termination date Airtel receives that notice. You will be responsible for all charges up to and including that date, including all early termination and other fees, if applicable.

Credit Information and Credit Audit

You must maintain satisfactory credit as required by Airtel. You will provide all information reasonably requested by Airtel, and will complete any credit applications provided by Airtel, for the purpose of investigating your credit from time-to-time. You authorize Airtel to collect, use, disclose and rely upon the credit information you supply, the information in credit applications, any data available from commercial credit reference services, and other information (such as payment history with Airtel and other subsidiaries) to determine whether to provide or continue to provide you with Services. Services offered to you may vary based on current credit/rating or previous history. Airtel may at any time, based on your credit history, withdraw or change Service Agreements, or place restrictions or conditions on the use or availability of Services.

Restrictions on Using Services

Airtel has no obligation to monitor any information or content accessible, transmitted or posted through or to the Services. Airtel may monitor your use of the Services electronically from time to time and disclose to any third party any information necessary to: (a) satisfy any legal, regulatory or other government request; (b) operate or provide the Services; or (c) protect itself, other customers or users in accordance with the Policies. Airtel reserves the right to refuse to transmit or post, or to remove or limit access to, any information or content in whole or in part that violates the Service Agreement or is otherwise deemed objectionable by Airtel in its sole discretion.

Handset, Numbers and Account

You must purchase, install and maintain at your cost the Handsets and all other equipment required for you and your users to access and use the Handsets and Services. You must only use Handsets and equipment that are compatible with the Services.

Airtel does not manufacture its Handsets and accessories and therefore provides only a limited 90 day warranty on

Handsets and accessories sold through Airtel (the "Covered Products"). Airtel warrants that the Covered Products will operate substantially in accordance with the documentation provided with those products for 90 days from the date of purchase. Airtel's limited warranty covers only material defects in the Covered Products. Any physical or cosmetic damage, any damage to antennas, any damage caused by moisture, and any damage caused by not using or protecting the products as described in the documentation is not covered by this warranty. Only Airtel certified technicians can assess damage; if the Covered Products are opened by anyone else, the above warranty will be void. All warranty claims must be made by returning the defective unit to Airtel within 90 days from the date of purchase. A loaner unit may be made available to you, depending on defect, damage and availability. If Airtel concludes that your product is covered by the warranty, Airtel will repair or replace the product at Airtel’s expense. THIS IS YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR BREACH OF THE ABOVE WARRANTY.

Airtel’s network & Handsets when programmed correctly will receive wireless text/data transmissions from other carriers, but Airtel is not responsible for those transmissions or the other carriers’ services. Airtel may update or change the software, settings, specifications and features of the Handsets from time-to-time, and you will permit Airtel to do so.

Except for any legal right you may have to transfer your Airtel phone number to another carrier, you do not and will not have any proprietary, ownership or other right to any phone number, identification number, e-mail address or other identifier Airtel assign to you or your users or your Handsets or your account, and Airtel may change any of the foregoing at any time upon notice to you. You and your users must not alter or tamper with any identification, signaling or transmission component or feature of any Handsets or equipment used in connection with the Services.

You are solely responsible for your account with us and for maintaining the security of all of your and your users’ account numbers, names and passwords.

Network Coverage

Airtel does not guarantee uninterrupted radio telecommunication services in any of Airtel’s markets. Service may be temporarily limited or refused due to radio network limitations, environmental conditions, force majeure, radio telecommunication network interferences or any other reasons within or outside Airtel’s control. Coverage maps are available on Airtel’s website. The specific network coverage you receive depends on radio telephone transmissions your Handset sends and receives and Services you have chosen. Airtel’s coverage maps provide high level estimates of Airtel’s coverage areas when using Services outdoors under optimal conditions. Coverage is not available everywhere. Estimating wireless coverage and signal strength is not an exact science. There are gaps in coverage within Airtel’s estimated coverage areas that, along with other factors both within and beyond Airtel’s control (e.g., network problems, software, signal strength, your Handset, structures, buildings, weather, geography, topography, etc.), may result in dropped and blocked connections, slower data speeds, or otherwise impact the quality of Service. Services that rely on location information, such as 911 and GPS navigation, depend on your Handset’s ability to acquire satellite signals (typically not available indoors) and network coverage.

Changes

Airtel may modify, suspend, restrict, or cancel any or all of the Services or take corrective action at anytime without prior notice and for any reason, including installation of required updates to the Service or the Handsets. Airtel may also amend the Service Agreement from time to time, which changes will become effective upon posting to the Airtel website or within your account. To stay up-to-date, please make sure to check the Airtel website regularly or contact us at connect@airtelwireless.ca and we will e-mail you the latest agreement.

Fees and Billing

You must pay all charges set out in the Service Agreement and all other agreements between you and Airtel. You are liable for all charges to your account, regardless of who incurred the charges. Certain transactions may also be subject to a charge (for example:, changing phone numbers, handset upgrades, etc.), although you will be provided notice of these types of fees before Airtel completes the requested transaction. Certain services, if available (such as roaming outside of Airtel’s coverage area), will be subject to additional charges, terms and conditions.

Invoicing provides notice of your monthly charges. It reflects monthly recurring charges (usually invoiced one cycle in advance) and usage/transaction specific charges (usually invoiced on the cycle when they are incurred). Invoice cycles and dates may change from time to time. Your invoice may also include other important notices (for example, changes to this Agreement, to your Service, legal notices, etc.). Your invoice will not include individual call detail.

Your Payment and Late Fees

Payment is due in full as specified on your invoice. If not otherwise specified in the invoice, payment for the first three months of a term contract must be made in advance. If Airtel does not receive payment in full by the date specified on your invoice, you must also pay simple interest on all overdue amounts at a rate of 18% per year, calculated from the date payment was due until the date all overdue amounts were paid in full. Airtel will also charge you costs associated with paying a collections agency to collect unpaid balances from you, and an administration fee for Airtel to collect unpaid balances. Airtel will charge $35.00 for each non sufficient fund (NSF) cheque or other payment paid by you and denied for any reason by a financial institution. Acceptance of payments (even if marked "paid in full") does not waive Airtel’s right to collect all amounts that you owe Airtel. Airtel may restrict your payment method to certified cheque, bank draft, or other similar secure form of payment at any time for good reason. If your account is de-activated, a re-activation fee of the lesser $25.00 per Handset or $95.00 per hour will apply.

Disputed Charges

If you think there has been an error in a charge posted to your credit card or appearing in an invoice, you must notify Airtel within 30 days after the charge has been posted to your credit card, or within 30 days after receiving the invoice. If you fail to do so then the charge will not be adjusted.

Taxes

You must pay all federal, provincial and local taxes, fees and other assessments that Airtel is required by law to collect and remit on the Services and Handsets provided to you. These charges may change from time to time without advance notice. If you are claiming any tax exemption, you must provide Airtel with a valid exemption certificate. Tax exemptions generally will not be applied retroactively.

Protecting Airtel’s Network & Services

Airtel may take any action to: (1) protect Airtel’s network, Airtel’s rights and interests, or the rights of others; or (2) optimize or improve the overall use of Airtel’s network and Services. Some of these actions may interrupt or prevent legitimate communications and usage.

If Your Handset Is Lost, Stolen or Damaged

You must contact Airtel immediately if your Handset is lost, stolen or damaged. You will remain responsible for all usage charges for lost, stolen or damaged Handsets, until Airtel deactivates those Handsets after receiving written notice (via fax or email) from you that the Handsets were lost, stolen or damaged. Airtel will not waive any early termination fees if you choose to terminate Services as a result of loss, damaged or theft of your Handset. You are responsible for the cost of replacing the Handset should you choose to continue Services under your Agreement.
