Virgin Plus Terms of Service

The agreement is between you and Virgin Plus, a brand operated by:

  • Bell Mobility Inc. for mobile services (“Wireless Services”)

(“Virgin Plus”, “we” or “us”).

We are federally regulated and the Agreement is governed by the federal laws of Canada, including the CRTC’s Internet Code, Television Service Provider Code and Wireless Code. More information about these Codes can be found at crtc.gc.ca. Provincial laws may also apply.

Our Agreement with You

  1. How do I accept this Agreement and what does it cover?

    • TV programming;

  3. Can Virgin Plus make changes to the Agreement?
  4. If a Commitment Period applies (see Section 4), we will not change an essential element of the Agreement, particularly the nature of the equipment or the Services that are the object of the Agreement, the price of the equipment or Services or, if applicable, the Commitment Period. But we may change other elements of the Agreement, including the provision of the Services as well as the management of your account and information.

    If there is no Commitment Period, we may change any term of the Agreement including these elements:

    • the Services;
    • the equipment;
    • the Charges for the Services and the equipment (see Section 12);
    • the warranties and our liability; and
    • the management of your account and information.

    We will send you, at least 30 days before the amendment comes into force, a written notice drawn up clearly and legibly, setting out exclusively the new clause, or the amended clause and the clause as it read formerly, the date of the coming into force relating to the amendment and your rights relating to the amendment. You may refuse the amendment and cancel the Agreement without a cancellation indemnity (see Section 55) by sending us a notice to that effect no later than 30 days after the amendment comes into force, if the amendment entails an increase of your obligations or a reduction of ours.

  5. Can I make changes?
  6. You may not make any changes to these terms of service.

    You may be able to add, change or remove a Service. In certain circumstances, you may have to pay an Early Exit Charge (see Section 55). Check your plan details, My Account (download the app or see virginplus.ca/myaccount), virginplus.ca or contact us to see if additional charges apply.

  8. There is no set period unless you agree to a term of greater than 1 month (“Commitment Period”). At the end of any Commitment Period, we will continue to provide the Service to you without a set period, at the then-applicable rates.

  9. Can the Agreement or Services be transferred?
  10. You may not transfer or assign the Agreement, your account or the Services (including monthly minutes or data) without our written consent. We may transfer or assign all or part of the Agreement (including any rights to accounts receivable). We may also move the Services to other networks or platforms, or change suppliers.

  22. You are responsible for deleting any personal information on the equipment or Device.

    Billing and Payment

  23. How do you bill me for the Services?
  24. The charges (plus applicable taxes) for the Services may include and are billed as follows:

    • your monthly plan, which may be subject to a Commitment Period, in advance;
    • monthly add-ons, such as additional data, that are not subject to a Commitment Period, in advance;
    • pay per use or additional usage, at the rate in effect when purchased or used;
    • one-time charges when you incur them, such as administrative, payment processing, transaction, activation or cancellation charges (for more information, for Wireless Services, see virginplus.ca/onetimecharges and, for Residential Services, see virginplus.ca/onetimecharges);
    • monthly rental charges for Our Equipment, in advance;
    • Device charges, such as monthly Sweet Pay instalments, in advance,; and
    • third-party charges, such as government 9-1-1 charges, in advance or as incurred;

    (together, “Charges”).

  25. When is my payment due?
  26. We bill you monthly and your payment is due upon receipt. Your bill sets out acceptable payment methods. If your account is for prepaid Wireless Services, see Section 14.

    If you don’t pay within 30 days of the bill date, you will be charged interest on the balance owing, at the interest rate of 3% per month (42.576% per year), calculated and compounded monthly from the bill date (“Late Payment Charge”). We may refer your account to collection agencies if you fail to pay the Charges owing to Our Companies referred to in Section 8.

  27. How is a prepaid Wireless Services account billed?
  28. You will not receive a monthly bill. The following Charges are debited from the funds you deposit in your account:

    • your plan and add-ons, in advance;
    • one-time Charges when you incur them, such as transaction and activation charges; and
    • pay-per-use Charges as incurred.

    Prepaid funds are non-refundable. The funds in your account are available for the number of days we specify (“Active Period”). Within 7 days of expiry of the Active Period, those funds can be restored if you deposit additional funds. You may add new funds by “topping up” and the new Active Period will apply to all funds from the moment you top up.

  29. When can you charge my credit card or debit my bank account?
  30. You allow us to charge your credit card or debit your bank account for all Charges when:

    • you set up pre-authorized payment;
    • you make a payment; or
    • if your account is for prepaid Wireless Services, you top up.
  31. What if I dispute a Charge on my bill?
  32. If you dispute any Charges, do so within 90 days of the bill date. Disputed Charges are not considered past due unless we conclude that the Charges are correct. You must pay all undisputed portions of the Charges within 30 days of the original bill date, failing which you will be charged the Late Payment Charge for the undisputed portion.

  33. How do offers work?
  34. We may apply any credits, incentives or offers (including for bundles of Services or multiple Services) to your account while:

    • we maintain these credits, incentives or offers; and
    • you meet the eligibility requirements.

    Before you make changes to the Services (including TV programming or features), review the restrictions and eligibility requirements, as certain changes may result in loss of, or changes to, credits or offers.

    Credits may not apply to partial billing periods. This means, for example, if a Service is cancelled in the middle of a billing period, we will not apply the credit for that partial billing period.

    Promotional funds provided to prepaid Wireless Services accounts will not change the Active Period of your existing balance.

  35. How is Internet usage billed?
  36. Data usage is rounded up to the nearest kilobyte (for example a 0. 25 KB download will be rounded up to 1 KB).

  37. How do you calculate my Wireless Services usage Charges?
  38. Voice (local and long distance calls)

    Both local and long distance calls are rounded up to the nearest minute (for example a 9 minute and 14 second call will be rounded up to 10 minutes). If you call a phone number outside of your local coverage area or if you receive a phone call when outside your local coverage area, you will be charged for long distance. For an explanation of local and long distance coverage areas, see virginplus.ca/coverage. Additional charges may apply to calls to special phone numbers, including those beginning with a “#” or a “*” or short codes (billed per call).

    Text messages

    Billed per text message, whether received or sent. An additional charge may apply for certain text messages such as:

    • premium texts;
    • text messages sent or received from a messaging application or landline; or
    • text messages received while roaming or from a U.S. or international phone number.

    Data

    Data usage is rounded up to the nearest kilobyte (for example a 0. 25 KB download will be deemed 1 KB). Charges apply from the moment a data transmission starts whether or not it was successfully sent or received. Certain apps may generate data usage even when you are not actively engaged in using them. Certain plans and add-ons do not include data for modems or tethering.

    Roaming

    Roaming occurs (in Canada or internationally) when your Device uses another wireless service provider’s network to send or receive voice, text or data transmissions. For current roaming rates, see virginplus.ca/roaming. Rounding practices for U.S. and international roaming may vary.

  39. How does data sharing for Wireless Services work?
  40. Shareable data from eligible plans is combined and made available on a first-come, first-served basis to users on your account with an eligible plan.

  41. What happens if I go over my usage limits?
  42. You are responsible for all usage. This includes usage generated automatically by the equipment, your Device or apps. You will be billed any usage that goes over the usage limits of your plan or add-ons at the rates set out in the Agreement, My Account (download the app or see virginplus.ca/myaccount), virginplus.ca or, for Wireless Services, virginplus.ca/rates.

  43. Will a deposit or interim payment ever be required?
  44. A deposit may be required and if so we will provide you with the reason.

    We will apply the deposit and any earned interest against the outstanding Charges or other amounts you owe to us and/or any of Our Companies. We will refund the balance of the deposit, if any, when:

    • the Services are cancelled; or
    • the conditions requiring the deposit no longer apply (typically 6 months from the date the deposit was received if all bills are paid in full and on time).

    For Wireless Services accounts with multiple deposits, we will refund you the balance, if any:

    • when all Services on the account are cancelled; or
    • typically after 6 months from the date the last deposit was received if all bills are paid in full and on time.

    In exceptional circumstances, we may also require you to pay the Charges on an interim basis. If this happens, you must pay these Charges on or before the required due date to avoid cancellation or suspension of the Services.

  45. What if I have another account with a Bell Company that is in arrears?
  46. If you have another account with one of Our Companies that is in arrears, we may bill you for, collect or set off any amounts owed. If you don’t pay these arrears, we may also refuse to provide you with Services.

  47. Do you provide tools to help manage my bills?
  48. Go to virginplus.ca and My Account (download the app or see virginplus.ca/myaccount) to find tools to help you manage your bills, including, as applicable, notifications on data usage, roaming, data caps and usage monitoring tools.

    Services

  49. Are there circumstances when you cannot install or provide the Residential Services as ordered?
  50. We may not be able to install or continue to provide the Services in certain circumstances, including:

    • network availability;
    • network congestion or interference;
    • geography;
    • third-party restrictions or limitations;
    • inaccessibility of premises; or
    • condition of premises, which you are responsible for, including wiring and your equipment.

    In such cases, we may need to make changes to the Services or cancel the Agreement.

  51. Where are the Wireless Services available?
  52. We and our roaming partners may change networks or geographical coverage areas (both in and out of Canada). See virginplus.ca/coverage for our latest Service coverage areas.

  53. What factors can impact the performance of the Services?
  54. The performance, speed, or availability of the Services may be impacted by several factors, including:

    • the configuration, compatibility and location of the equipment, network or your Device;
    • weather conditions or geography;
    • third party restrictions or limitations;
    • network changes or changes to geographical coverage areas;
    • network congestion or interference;
    • network outages, including during planned hardware or software upgrades;
    • power outages (for Residential Services, see also Section 28);
    • equipment or Device failure, including due to tampering or damage; or
    • a modem reboot/restart whether spontaneous or otherwise.

    We are not responsible for other services you have that may be impacted by the performance, speed, or availability of the Services, for example:

    • third-party communications services or equipment; or
    • monitored security alarms or monitored medical devices (including some monitored by us).

    Due to equipment or Device limitations, Services may not achieve peak speeds.

  55. How does a power outage impact my Residential Services?
  56. The Residential Services will not work during a power outage if there is no battery backup or once the battery is depleted. Third-party communications services or equipment, monitored security alarms or monitored medical devices (including some monitored by us) may also not work in such circumstances.

  57. Are there any times when access to 9-1-1 is not available?
  58. Access to 9-1-1 emergency services may not work when the Services are not available (see Section 27).

  59. Are you responsible for emergency alerts?
  60. Emergency alerts are required by law and we are not responsible for them, including the content, timing or receipt of an alert.

  61. Do I own the phone number or identifiers that you assign to me?
  62. You do not own any assigned phone number or identifier.

  63. How do I transfer the Services (including a phone number)?
  64. When you subscribe to our Services, tell us you wish to transfer the services and your phone number from your existing provider. We can then contact that provider on your behalf to cancel the services and complete the transfer. Most phone numbers can be transferred but not all.

    When you transfer your Services to another provider, the transfer may cause interruption or disconnection of any service or loss of any credit or offer. A “transfer” of a phone number does not include the transfer of any associated services, including voicemails and apps. Before your new provider cancels a Service on your behalf, it is your responsibility to review the impact such cancellation may have on your eligibility for any credit or offer. For more information, see virginplus.ca/portability.

  65. How do you manage my content?
  66. We assume that you own or have the rights to use any content you upload or otherwise transmit using the Services. We may use your content in order to provide the Services.

  67. How does Virgin Plus help to ensure fair network access, efficient operation and the responsible use of the Services?
  68. We may use methods to manage our networks such as the prioritization or deprioritization and Internet traffic management practices, which may include:

    • allocation of bandwidth (which may impact speeds);
    • filtering for spam and malicious or illicit content;
    • anti-virus mechanisms; or
    • measures to protect the integrity of our networks (such as the blocking of your traffic or other traffic in the event of denial of service attacks).

    For a description of our Internet traffic management practices, see virginplus.ca/ITMP.

    You must comply with and we enforce the rules in the “Responsible Use Policy” in Schedule A. We have the right (but not the obligation) to monitor the Services, including your use of the Services and the location of the equipment receiving the Services and your Device.

    We may monitor or investigate any content, use of TV programming or your use of our networks, including bandwidth usage and how it affects Services and our network operation and efficiency.

    We may disclose any information required to ensure the Services are not being used contrary to the Responsible Use Policy or in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

  69. How am I responsible for my account?
  70. You are responsible for:

    • the protection of your accounts and passwords;
    • for all use of your account and the Services by yourself and any other users;
    • designating authorized users on your account and notifying us if you wish to add or remove users; and
    • payment of all Charges billed to your account whether authorized by you or not.

    If you don’t access content associated with your account, such as emails or voicemails, within a certain period of time or if the Service is cancelled, we may delete that content.

  71. Will Virgin Plus ever replace its equipment or networks?
  72. As part of the ongoing provision of Services, we may replace, modify or upgrade Our Equipment, our networks and platforms. Rather than maintain existing technology, we may choose to replace it with alternative technology and you may need to provide us access to your premises (see Section 46).

    You must ensure that your equipment and Device remain compatible with the Services. If not, you will have to cancel the Services or you will continue to be billed.

  73. Do you modify software?
  74. We can modify our (or third party) software on the equipment and your Device to the extent these modifications are reasonably necessary for the continued efficient operation of the Services. We may also do so to ensure the software remains compatible and functions properly with technological improvements to the Services. These modifications may be required for you to continue receiving the Services.

    Content or TV Programming

  75. Can I rebroadcast, share or copy the content or TV programming?
  76. We may provide content or TV programming from Our Companies or third parties. You may not rebroadcast, copy, share or transmit any content or TV programming in any form, or charge or receive a fee for same.

    TV programming is restricted for your private viewing at your Service Address, other than as authorized on certain personal devices (see Section 40).

  77. Is the content or TV programming I subscribe to always available?
  78. All content or TV programming is provided on a “subject to availability” basis. Any refund or credit for interruptions or unavailability is at our discretion.

  79. Can I watch the content or TV programming I subscribe to on my personal devices?
  80. Where permitted by the content or TV programming provider, you may view select content or programming on your Device and certain other personal devices.

    Viewing content or TV programming may be subject to data usage charges. Interactive services and applications may also incur additional data usage charges. You are responsible for any data usage charges.

    A limit may apply on the number and type of devices that can be used. See, for example, virginplus.ca/supporteddevices.

  81. Can I make changes to my TV programming?
  82. You may order new TV programming (and obtain information about applicable Charges) or change your TV programming online through My Account (download the app or see virginplus.ca/myaccount) or by contacting us.

  83. Is there a minimum subscription period for certain TV programming?
  84. Certain TV programming may be subject to a minimum subscription period. If you cancel, we will remove this TV programming as of the next billing period date after your request without credit or refund.

    Equipment for Residential Services

  85. How do I get equipment from you and how is it installed?
  86. You may be able to:

    • buy certain equipment; or
    • rent Our Equipment.

    Our Equipment remains our property. We may replace any part of Our Equipment with new or refurbished equipment. Our Equipment can only be installed and activated at the Service Address. If you rent Our Equipment and it is lost or stolen, you are responsible for all costs associated with us replacing Our Equipment.

  87. Clause required under the Consumer Protection Act. (Long-term contract of lease)
  88. The consumer has no right of ownership in the goods leased. The merchant shall assume the risk of loss or deterioration by superior force of the goods forming the object of this contract except where the consumer withholds the goods without right or, where such is the case, after ownership of the goods has been transferred to him by the merchant. The consumer benefits from the same warranties respecting the leased goods as a consumer owning such goods. Where the consumer is in default to perform his obligation in the manner prescribed in this contract, the merchant may: (a) either exact immediate payment of that which is due; (b) or retake possession of the goods forming the object of the contract. Before retaking possession of the goods, the merchant must give the consumer a notice in writing of 30 days, during which time the consumer may, as he chooses: (a) remedy the fact that he is in default; (b) return the goods to the merchant. The consumer may also return the goods to the merchant at any time during the leasing period even if he has not received a notice of repossession. If the consumer returns the goods to the merchant, the contract is rescinded of right. In such a case, the merchant is not bound to return to the consumer the amount of the payments due he has already received, and he cannot claim any damages other than those actually resulting, directly and immediately, from the rescission of the contract. The merchant is bound to minimize his damages. It is in the consumer’s interest to refer to sections 103, 150.10, 150.11 and 150.13 to 150.17 of the Consumer Protection Act (chapter P-40.1) and, where necessary, to communicate with the Office de la protection du consommateur.

  89. What if I choose self-installation?
  90. You are responsible for installation and activation. If you do not install or activate the equipment within the time we specified, we may cancel your order and you must return Our Equipment (see Section 47).

  91. When do you need access to my premises?
  92. You must give us (including our third-party agents or contractors) access to your premises, whether for your benefit or the benefit of others, to install, maintain, replace or upgrade:

    • Our Equipment;
    • the Services; or
    • our networks.
  93. When do I return Virgin Plus’s Equipment?
  94. Upon cancellation, you must return Our Equipment in good condition within 30 days.

    In addition, at the end of Our Equipment’s useful life, we may:

    • remove Our Equipment;
    • abandon Our Equipment; or
    • request that you return Our Equipment.

    You are responsible for any damage you cause to Our Equipment.

    Your Device for Wireless Services

  95. What are the Device options?
  96. You may be able to:

    • bring your own Device; or
    • purchase your Device from us, with the option of Sweet Pay instalments.
  97. What is your Device return policy?
  98. You may return a Device purchased from us (up to 2 times per Device activated on your account) if the Device is returned:

    • within 15 days of the start date;
    • in “like new” condition with the original packaging, manuals and accessories; and
    • with the original receipt from the store of purchase or to the address specified for returns if you purchased the Device online or by phone.

    SIM cards cannot be returned once the packaging is opened or the SIM card is activated.

    For postpaid Wireless Services accounts, you are responsible for all Charges incurred prior to the return of your Device. We will not accept returns for Devices with excessive usage in violation of our Responsible Use Policy. If you are a person with a disability, the same conditions apply; however, you may return your Device within 30 days of the start date.

    For prepaid Wireless Services accounts, we will not accept returns of Devices if usage exceeds 30 minutes of voice usage or 50 MB of data. Funds added to your account are non-refundable. If you are a person with a disability, the same conditions apply; however, you may return your Device within 30 days of the start date and double the permitted usage set out above.

  99. What happens if my Device is lost or stolen?
