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 “Freedom 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 or conference calling until the terms of the deposit account have been completed.  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 Freedom network data of fifty dollars ($50.00) per account per billing cycle.  If you (or they) continue to try to use Freedom network 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 Freedom network 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

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 cancellation 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. If you terminate the primary Line for any associated secondary Line, such as a smart watch data plan, the associated secondary Line will also be cancelled and you will be immediately charged an early cancellation fee equal to any unpaid MyTab balance for the associated secondary Device.

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 within Canada. 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

Freedom may disconnect and terminate any Service(s) if:

(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;

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.

(h) 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 

(i) 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. 

8. Devices, Equipment and SIM Cards

(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, Lightly Loved Devices and other equipment, are covered by the manufacturer's limited warranty, a copy of which is available at the manufacturer's website.

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.

10. Charges and Payments

(a) How your charges are calculated depend on how the Services are being used:

(i) Voice: Depending on your plan, voice Services are charged based on how much airtime is used and sometimes where and how the airtime is used. In all cases, we calculate airtime usage from the moment you initiate a call, or when you answer a call, until the call is ended, rounded up to the next full minute. Airtime usage is charged at a minimum of one minute of airtime and the airtime of the entire call is based on the applicable rate at the beginning of the call. Local and long-distance calls may also be charged at different rates. Your incoming calls are based on your geographical location associated with your phone number (your “Local Service Area”). At the time of your call, if you are within your Local Service Area, all calls you receive will be charged as local calls. Any calls received outside your Local Service Area will be charged as long-distance minutes. Your outgoing calls are based on your actual physical location. At the time of your call, if you initiate a call to a number that is local to your physical location, your call will be charged as local minutes. If you initiate a call to a number that is long-distance to your physical location, it will be charged as long-distance minutes.

(ii) Data: The data included in our plans are generally communicated in megabytes or gigabytes and, depending on your plan, you may be charged for data in certain allotments. When you use data, if you have a certain allotment, you are charged for the entire allotment. We then aggregate the data you use until you reach your allotment, in which case you may be required to order additional data or you will be charged for another allotment according to your plan. Generally, we round your data usage to the nearest 10 kilobytes per session. Similarly, if you pay for data usage ‘on the go’, you will be charged on your data usage rounded to the nearest 10 kilobytes.

(iii) SMS and MMS: SMS are limited to 160 characters. If you send an SMS that is greater than 160 characters, the message will be broken into separate 160 character messages and you will be charged for each 160 character message, rounded up to the next 160 characters. Emoticons and other icons that are not ordinary alphanumeric characters may count for more than 1 character. In the event you send an SMS that is greater than 800 characters, we will automatically convert the message into an MMS. Each MMS sent is charged as a single message in accordance with your plan.

(b) 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. You must activate your new Services within 30 days, otherwise your Services will be terminated and an early cancellation fee equal to any unpaid MyTab balance and TradeUp Return Value will be charged. 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.

(c) 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.

(d) If you have requested pre-authorized payments or are otherwise required to provide pre-authorized payments on your account as per the MyTab Additional Terms of Service, 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, including any applicable early cancellation fees, and you authorize us to keep your pre-authorized payment details onfile. 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 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.

(e)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 data roaming 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.

11. Postpaid Services

(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. If your account remains unpaid for 60 days, we may refer your account to a collections agency. We may also charge you for any 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. If you do not pass our credit check, we may determine, in our sole discretion, that a deposit cannot be applied to your account and you may only qualify for a prepaid account.

(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. 

12. Prepaid Accounts

(a) If you’ve chosen pre-payment, or we determine in our discretion that pre-payment is required, 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 (or other period) plan charges (as applicable), 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 (or other period) 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. 

13. Trial Periods

If you find that you and your new Freedom Mobile product(s) aren’t a perfect match within 15 days: (i) for online and remote orders, return via the prepaid envelope that was sent with your device, or (ii) for in-store orders, return to the store where you made your purchase and as long as you have not used more than 50% of the monthly data included with your service (with the exception of unlimited data plans) and the product(s) are in like new condition, including 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, and for prepaid customers, one-time fees. Extended trial period: People 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.

MyTab Rollover” is the summation of any and all MyTab Savings Rollover and MyTab Charge Rollover.

MyTab Balance Owing” is the summation of any and all Device Savings, Bonus Savings and MyTab Charges associated to the MyTab program as well as any MyTab Rollover that is applicable as part of the MyTab Rollover program.

MyTab Charge is the summation of the optional monthly fee that allows you to establish,
or increase the amount of, your MyTab that is associated to a device.

Total MyTab Savings is the summation of any and all Device Savings, Bonus
Savings and MyTab Savings Rollover received as part of the MyTab and MyTab Rollover programs.

Total MyTab Charge” is the summation of any and all MyTab Charges for a device and MyTab Charge Rollover received as part of the MyTab and MyTab Rollover programs.

2. Eligibility

To be eligible to run a MyTab, you must be a postpaid customer of Freedom Mobile and you must have passed our credit check or agreed to pay a specified deposit as part of our deposit
program and you must enroll in pre-authorized payments for your account by providing and keeping current valid credit card information. You may update your credit card information on file by using the My Account tool, available at freedommobile.ca/myaccount.

3. How MyTab Works

Eligible customers purchasing a New Device, Lightly Loved and Refurbished Device, or End of Life Device from us can elect to run a MyTab. If you are an eligible customer and elect to run a MyTab, you can put a portion of the retail price of the Device, or in some cases the full retail price, on your MyTab balance and then pay us only any remaining portion of the retail price (with tax) on the day you order or activate, as applicable. The amount you can put on your MyTab may vary depending on the plan you select and the amount of credit you are eligible for, based on the results of the credit check. Not every plan is eligible for the MyTab program. The retail price, the amount you paid for your Device, your Monthly MyTab Charge, if applicable, and your initial MyTab balance is set out in your agreement. Subject to your Monthly MyTab Charge payment being made, your MyTab Balance owing will decrease each month by an amount equal to: your current MyTab Balance Owing less any additional partial payments you make that month, divided by the number of months left until your commitment end date. This amount is calculated each month and will be rounded to the nearest penny. You may at any time make a partial payment towards your remaining MyTab balance. Your MyTab can only be used by you, the account holder, and only one MyTab can be established for each Line that you activate with Freedom Mobile.

4. Monthly MyTab Charge

If you choose to add a Monthly MyTab Charge, you agree to pay the Monthly MyTab Charge amount shown on your agreement, every month until your MyTab balance is reduced to zero, up to a maximum of 24 months.

5. You changing your plan

If you have activated a plan with a MyTab and later want to switch to another Freedom Mobile plan, if that new plan is one for which a lower value of MyTab is available with your Device than the current balance of your MyTab, you must pay any difference between your MyTab balance at the date of the plan switch and the value of the MyTab available on that date for your Device and the new plan.  Your commitment end date will not change.  A rate plan change fee may apply.  Your Monthly MyTab Charge may stay the same or may be reduced, depending on which new plan you select. If you received a MyTab program bonus (Device Savings or Bonus Savings) offer at the time of activation or upgrade on a device you purchased, and you downgrade within 24 months from an eligible rate plan (i.e., $40 and up plans then currently in market) to a plan that is not eligible for Device Savings or Bonus Savings, or to a plan that is only eligible for a lower Device Savings or Bonus Savings
amount, then you will be responsible for paying back all, or a prorated part, of the promotional Device Savings, Bonus Savings or MyTab Savings Rollover you received and are not eligible to carry forward on the new rate plan.

6. You upgrading your Device

If you are an existing postpaid customer and want to purchase a new Device and you want to run a MyTab for the new Device, you may do so if: (i) you meet the eligibility requirements
described above for the MyTab; (ii) twelve months or more have elapsed since you purchased your other Device using a MyTab; and (iii) at the time of purchasing your new Device, you have agreed to repay any previous MyTab Balance Owing that is outstanding or cannot be rolled over into the new MyTab Balance Owing for your new Device. Even if you are eligible to upgrade your Device, we reserve the right to limit the availability of specified Devices from time to time, as we see fit.

7. MyTab Rollover Program - You rolling over your current MyTab Balance Owing into a new 24-month service agreement

Freedom may from time to time, in its sole discretion, offer certain existing MyTab customers the opportunity to upgrade their device on a new MyTab prior to the expiration of their existing 24-month service agreement by including any MyTab Rollover into the MyTab Balance Owing of a new 24-month service agreement.

The maximums permitted to be rolled over within the MyTab Savings Rollover and MyTab Charge Rollover allotments may vary depending on the device and rate plan chosen as well as the maximum MyTab amount permitted by the account. Any amount from the previous
MyTab Balance Owing that cannot be rolled over into the new MyTab Balance Owing will be invoiced and payable immediately at time you enter into the new 24-month service agreement.

8. Returning a device on a MyTab within the Trial Period that has any MyTab Savings Rollover or MyTab Charge Rollover included into the MyTab Balance Owing

If during the trial period you i) exchange a device on a MyTab for another device that is not the exact same make and model (including colour and memory variant) or ii) return a
device on a MyTab, then any MyTab Rollover from previous 24-month service agreements will be invoiced and payable immediately regardless of whether another device is taken on a MyTab. 




TradeUp Additional Terms of Service

Effective as of November 12, 2021

1. General

These additional terms and conditions, in conjunction with the Terms of Service and the MyTab Additional Terms of Service set out the basis upon which a TradeUp device return program may be extended to you. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meaning set out in the Terms of Service.

2. Eligibility

To be eligible to receive a TradeUp Device, you must be a postpaid MyTab customer of Freedom Mobile and you must be subscribed to an eligible Freedom Mobile plan.

3. How the TradeUp device return program works

Freedom Mobile's TradeUp device return program allows eligible customers to get the latest devices at lower monthly prices when they activate on eligible Freedom Mobile plan with a 24-month service agreement. If you are an eligible TradeUp program subscriber, you are able to defer a portion of the retail price (the TradeUp Return Value) of your TradeUp Device to be settled later with no interest. At the end of your 24-month term, you have two options for settling your TradeUp Return Value, you can either:

(i) return your TradeUp Device to Freedom Mobile in good working condition to pay off the TradeUp Return Value on or before your Commitment End Date; or

(ii) you can pay to Freedom Mobile the full TradeUp Return Value any time before your Commitment End Date. If you do not return your TradeUp Device on or before your Commitment End Date, you will be charged the full amount of the TradeUp Return Value.

If you terminate your Services, change your rate plan to a non-eligible plan or port your number away from Freedom Mobile, you will not have the option of returning your TradeUp Device to settle the TradeUp Return Value.

If you remain a Freedom Mobile customer after the Commitment End Date, the TradeUp Return Value charges will appear on your next invoice. If you change your rate plan to a non eligible plan prior to your Commitment End Date, the TradeUp Return Value charges will appear on your next monthly invoice following your change to a non-eligible plan. If you terminate your Services or port your number away from Freedom Mobile, the TradeUp Return Value charges will appear on your final Freedom Mobile invoice.The amount of your TradeUp Return Value may vary depending on the TradeUp Device, the eligible Freedom Mobile plan you select and the amount of credit you are eligible for based on the results of the credit check. Not every Device or plan is eligible for the TradeUp device return program. The retail price of your Device, the amount of the TradeUp Return Value, the amount you paid for your Device, your Monthly MyTab Charge, if applicable, and your initial MyTab balance is set out in your agreement. Your TradeUp Device can only be used by you, the account holder, and only one TradeUp Device can be established for each Line that you activate with Freedom Mobile.

4. What does "good working condition" mean?

In order for a TradeUp Device to be returned, it must be in good working condition, which means that it must meet the following criteria:   

TradeUp Device must power on and navigate properly to the home screen.

TradeUp Device must be able to accept and hold a charge.

All passwords or access restrictions must be turned off or removed.

The screen must function correctly and be undamaged (free of cracks, dark spots, blemishes, bruising or other damage).

The rest of the TradeUp Device must be undamaged with no cracks, missing parts or signs of water damage (hinges, keypad, housing, buttons, battery, etc.).

All information must be wiped and TradeUp Device must have the ability to perform a factory reset.

Freedom Mobile will determine whether your TradeUp Device is in good working condition in its sole discretion. If a Freedom Mobile representative determines that your TradeUp Device is not in good working condition, you must pay the TradeUp Return Value to Freedom Mobile.

5. Returning your TradeUp Device

You can return your device in-store at any Freedom Mobile retail location on or prior to your Commitment End Date and, if it is in good working condition as outlined above, you will not owe any TradeUp Return Value.  If you keep the Device or the Device is not returned in good working condition on or before the Commitment End Date, you will be charged the TradeUp Return Value and applicable taxes. If you terminate your Services, change your rate plan to a non-eligible plan or port your number away from Freedom Mobile, prior to your Commitment End Date you will not have the option of returning your TradeUp Device.

6. Taxes on your TradeUp Device

Applicable taxes are initially calculated, charged, collected and remitted on the Retail Price of your TradeUp Device, less the TradeUp Return Value. Applicable taxes on the TradeUp Return Value will be paid by you if you keep the Device or if the Device is not returned in good working condition.

7. Changing or canceling your plan

If you terminate your Services, change your rate plan to a non-eligible plan prior to your Commitment End Date or port your number away from Freedom Mobile, then you must immediately pay the full amount of your TradeUp Return Value. Early cancellation fees and other MyTab charges may apply. See the Terms of Service and MyTab Additional Terms of Service for details.

8. Upgrading your TradeUp Device

Freedom Mobile may present you with an opportunity for an early hardware upgrade that will require the return of your TradeUp Device in good working condition.
