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.

11. PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE 9-1-1 SERVICE
- 9-1-1 emergency service delivered by a local VoIP phone service – VoIP services allow you to make or receive telephone calls over the Internet to or from a public switched telephone network. The VoIP telephone calls, while appearing similar to traditional telephone calling services, create unique limitations and conditions of their own, and you acknowledge and agree that differences exist between traditional telephone services and VoIP telephone services, including the lack of traditional 9-1-1 emergency services.
- Traditional 9-1-1 compared to VoIP 9-1-1 service – Due to the nature of VoIP telephone calls, emergency calls to 9-1-1 through your VoIP service are treated differently than calls made using the traditional phone service. The provisions of this section describe the differences and limitations of VoIP 9-1-1 emergency calls, and you hereby acknowledge and understand the differences listed below between the traditional 9-1-1 service and VoIP 9-1-1 with respect to 9-1-1 calls made via your VoIP connection.
- Making 9-1-1 calls – When you make a 9-1-1 emergency call, the VoIP service will attempt to automatically route your 9-1-1 call through to a third party provider service call center for public safety (“CCPS”) serving the address in your subscription record. However, due to limitations of the VoIP telephone services, your 9-1-1 call may be routed to a different location from where the call is routed through the traditional 9-1-1 service. For example, your call can be transferred to a third party that specializes in handling emergency calls. This call center is different from the CCPS that may be reached during a traditional 9-1-1 call and where your details are automatically displayed; therefore, you may need to provide your name, address and telephone number to the call center operator.
- Transmission of your contact information – The VoIP service will attempt to automatically provide the CCPS dispatcher or emergency service operator with the name, address and phone number listed in your subscription record. However, for technical reasons, the dispatcher receiving the call may be unable to record your name, phone number and the address of the place where you are. Therefore, when making a 9-1-1 emergency call, you must immediately inform the dispatcher where you are (or the location of the emergency). If you are unable to speak, the dispatcher may not be able to establish your location if the contact details in your subscription record are not updated.
- Accuracy of Information – You are required to provide your contact information to B2B2C and keep it up to date (including your name, home address and phone number). If you do not properly specify the address where you are, or if your contact information has changed recently or if you have not updated it, the call may be routed to the wrong emergency call center.
- Termination of the call – As it is possible that the dispatcher does not have your number and your address, you should not terminate your 9-1-1 emergency call until the dispatcher tells you to do so. If you lose communication by mistake, call back immediately.
- Establishment time of the communication – For technical reasons, including network congestion, it is possible that a 9-1-1 emergency call will produce a busy signal or that the time of establishment of the communication is longer than that of a traditional 9-1-1 call.
- Inability to call 9-1-1 – For technical reasons, in the following situations, without limitation, it may be impossible to make VoIP 9-1-1 emergency calls, or the 9-1-1 service may be restricted: Failure of service or your service access device – if your service access device stops working or is not configured properly, or if your VoIP service is not functioning correctly for any reason whatsoever, including a power outage, VoIP service outage, suspension or disconnection of the service due to billing problems, network or Internet congestion, or network or Internet failure due to a power outage, because of the network or the Internet; you may need to restart or reconfigure the access device system before you can use the VoIP service, including 9–1–1 emergency calls; and, a change of location – if you install your access device to the system in a location other than that indicated in your subscription or contact information contained in your subscription file with B2B2C.
- Replacement Services – If the limits relating to 9-1-1 emergency call are problematic for you, B2B2C recommends that you terminate the VoIP services or consider an alternative for access to traditional 9-1-1 emergency services.
- Inform other users – You are required to inform, and you agree to notify, any current or potential user of your VoIP services of the nature and limitations of 9-1-1 emergency calls made through the VoIP service, in accordance with this Contract.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
- Non-availability of the service – Considering the nature of the DSL technology required for the provision of the Residential High speed Internet Service B2B2C may, until the date of installation, and even after it, establish that the Service is not available in your area.
- No liability – B2B2C disclaims all liability for claims, damages, losses or expenses arising from the non-availability of the service in your area, even if the non-availability is announced to you after installation.
- Equipment and services of third parties – You are responsible for the use of the Service with third-party equipment and services and their compatibility. B2B2C declines any responsibility for establishing compatibility between the Service and the equipment and services of third parties.

- No liability – Acts and omissions – The rates and fees charged by B2B2C are established based on the risk assessment specified in this Contract and the fact that it provides limited recourses against B2B2C. B2B2C assumes no responsibility for your acts or omissions, or those of anyone who uses your Account, including, without limitation, regarding liability for expenses incurred when making purchases or other transactions with the Service.
- Violation by you or third parties – B2B2C assumes no liability to you or any third party for any losses or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) relating to any allegation, claim, suit or other proceeding based upon a pretense that the use of the Service by you or a third party from your Account violates intellectual property rights or contractual rights of third parties or relating to any allegation, claim, suit or proceeding arising out of your use of the Service for the performance of any act of slander, infringement, of any act which is threatening, abusive, hateful, deceptive, or offensive, or the committing of any offense under the Criminal Code or any applicable law.
- Third party telecommunications carriers – B2B2C is not liable for any act or omission of a telecommunications carrier whose facilities are used in establishing connections to areas that B2B2C does not directly serve.
13. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE CLIENT
- Indemnity – You agree to indemnify and hold B2B2C harmless against all claims and liabilities, as well as for all costs, including legal fees, related to any violation of this Contract by you or anyone using your Account, or resulting from the use of the Service or your Account by you or by a third party.
- Extrajudicial fees – B2B2C reserves the right to claim all extrajudicial fees that it pays with respect to any defense it offer in relation with any lawsuits by third parties due to an improper use of the Service by you or a third party.
14. TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION OF THE ACCOUNT
- Right to suspend or terminate – B2B2C may suspend or restrict the Service or terminate this Contract if you have not paid B2B2C any amount due under this Contract or if there is a breach of the terms and conditions of this Contract.
- Alteration of use – In the case of a misuse of your Account in contravention of the obligations under section 4 hereof that has as effect to alter the operation or efficiency of the Service or to jeopardize it, B2B2C may suspend your Service until you have resolved the issue. If your Service is suspended and the problem is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the date you have been informed by B2B2C of the misuse, this Contract may be terminated and the Service ended.
- No release – Termination of the Contract does not, in any case, have for effect to free you of the obligations under this Contract that would have been born before the entry into force of said termination, particularly in respect of the payment of the amounts due and termination fees payable under the provisions of section 7 hereof.
- Termination at the discretion of B2B2C – If you are not in default in the performance of your obligations under this Contract, B2B2C may nevertheless, by prior written notice sent to you at least sixty (60) days to this effect, terminate any Indefinite term Contract.
15. FINAL PROVISIONS
