Responsibility for Complying with the agreement

You, as account holder, are responsible for complying with the Agreement. Among other things, you are responsible for:
All charges on your account:
- Ensuring that anyone who uses Services under your account or with your authorization complies with the Agreement;
- Ensuring that others do not gain unauthorized access to your account and your Services, including by protecting the security of any usernames or passwords relating to your account;
- Ensuring that any information you have provided to us is up-to-date and accurate, and to let us know if it changes.

Transfer my agreement
You will need our prior permission if you want to assign or transfer an Agreement. We may assign or transfer an Agreement or any of our rights or responsibilities under an Agreement without your permission.

Service Term, Changes and Cancellation

Categories of Services covered by my Agreement
Available Services are categorized as follows:
- Ensuring that anyone who uses Services under your account or with your authorization complies with the Agreement;
- “Short-term plan” Services” are Services that you subscribe to on an ongoing basis, but not with a Term; and
- “Pay-Per-Use Services” are Services that you use on a per-usage basis (which may be a one-time usage, or usage for a set period of time, such as one day or one week), but not on an
ongoing basis.

Term of my agreement
The term of each Agreement starts on the initial activation date of the Services or the Equipment, whichever is earlier (“Activation Date”). On your Term expiry date (Device contract) for a Term Service, the Service will automatically become a Month-to-Month Service and you will keep your existing Service and Agreement with us until they are changed or canceled in accordance with these Terms.

Services or Agreement changes
PhoneBox may change your Services or Agreement as described below.

For mobile Services
We may change any aspect of a Monthly service or Short-term plan Service and the corresponding Agreement, as long as we give you at least 30 days’ prior written notice. We may also change aspects of a Term Service and the corresponding Agreement, other than a key term as defined in the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s (CRTC) Wireless Code, upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to you. In either case, we will send you the written notice by text message, e-mail or by message on your online account (My Account) available at gophonebox.com, and it will explain the change and when it will take effect.

For other Services
PhoneBox may change any aspect of a Monthly plan or Prepaid Service or Term Service as well as any term or provision of an Agreement, upon prior written notice to you by text message, e-mail or through your online account ‘My Account” available at gophonebox.com. If you do not accept the change, your remedy will be to cancel the affected Services or Agreement by providing us with notice of cancellation below within 30 days of receiving our notice of change (unless we specify a different notice period or different remedy).

We may change any aspect of a Month-to-Month Service and the corresponding Agreement, as long as we give you at least 30 days’ prior written notice. We may also change a Term Service and the corresponding Agreement upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice, but will not change the price, term, nature or any other essential elements of that Term Service or that Agreement.

Cancel my service
You may cancel any or all of your Services and any corresponding Agreement at any time by calling us at the telephone number +(1) 855-886-0505 or by emailing us at services@gophonebox.com. You may be asked to present the proof of identity and confirm the cancellation request prior to the cancellation taking place. Cancellation takes effect on the day that PhoneBox receives notice of the cancellation, or a future date specified in that notice (if applicable), whichever is later. Applicable charges continue until that date. However, if you only cancel an add-on or plan change, cancellation will take effect on your next billing date for that add-on and applicable charges will continue to apply until your next billing date for that add-on, unless otherwise indicated. If you are under a ‘Monthly plan’, any remaining outstanding balance under your account must be settled (paid) before the cancellation takes place.

Early Cancellation
If you subscribe to a ‘Short-Term plan’, there will be no refund available for this type of plan. If you subscribed for a ‘Monthly plan’, the remaining proportion of an unused service fee remaining under your account, will be provided as a form of refund after the cancellation is submitted.

Transferring Service to another Provider
Transferring your Service(s) is considered as Port out under PhoneBox. You have to abide by our rules and conditions and be responsible for making sure that the transfer is completed. Once the Number is successfully transferred to another provider, it’s no longer our responsibility to assure about any lost or changes of Phone number and/or account under your new provider.
If you are under a ‘Monthly plan’, any remaining outstanding balance under your account must be settled (paid) before the cancellation takes place.

PhoneBox may cancel your service
We may restrict, suspend, block, disconnect or cancel any or all of your Services, Equipment, accounts or identifiers in any way, including 9-1-1 service, without notice or liability to you, if:
- You are in breach of an Agreement, including for non-payment;

Terms and Conditions may still apply even after cancellation
Certain provisions of these Terms may still apply as they may still be relevant even after cancellation of all your Services. Specifically, if any remaining outstanding balance is still occurring under your account, and/or remaining device contract balance which is required to be settled.

Account, Charges and Billing Information

PhoneBox will bill your service
You will receive your bill monthly if you are using one of our Monthly service plans. If you are using a Short-term plan, you will not receive an invoice, but instead, you are required to extend your service by proceeding with a Term extension payment before your term ending date.  Service charges will start on the Activation Date and are billed in advance (advance payment) for the Monthly plan and Short-term Plan. Unless we both agree to a different arrangement, your billing period runs for one month, and ends on the bill date noted on the top of your bill. Your Activation Date and billing period won’t always start on the same day. When this happens, your Service charges and allotted usage are pro-rated for the period between your Activation Date and your bill date. Usage charges, such as additional data, airtime, long distance, text message fees, international calling fee are billed after you use them.

Bill payment due date
Charges on your account are due and payable in full from the date of your bill. If you are using a Monthly plan, your bill will be issued on every 15th of the month, with a payment deadline of the 25th. You have 10 days from the invoice issued date to the payment ending date, otherwise, you will be subjected to a late payment fee. If you are using a Short-term plan, your term extension is required to be made before your term ending date; otherwise, your short term plan will expire and may not be able to be retrieved.

Late bill payment
If we do not receive payment of an amount due on your account by the specified required payment date as specified above, it will be subject to a late payment charge of 5% of the outstanding balance per month . This late payment charge will be calculated and compounded monthly on the outstanding amount from the date of the first bill on which it appears until the date we receive that amount in full. You agree that we can charge any unpaid and outstanding amount, including any late payment charges, on any pre-authorized payment method on your account (e.g., a credit card or bank account withdrawal). For a Monthly plan, you may also be subjected to an Unpaid suspension which means you will temporarily lose your service until the payment is received in full. You will also be subject to Reactivation fee which is the penalty fee that will be charged in order to unsuspend your line.

Other charges
Other charges may be applied in connection with your account, including as a result of the following:
- International calling;
- Phone number (or other identifier) change more than once;
- SIM card fee (request for a new replacement SIM card);
- 911 fees and roaming rates apply on a conditional basis;
- Collection efforts due to non-payment;
- Returned or rejected payments; and/or
- The restoration or suspension of Service.

Questions or disagreement with a charge on my bill
Any questions or discrepancies regarding charges must be reported to us within 90 days of the date of the applicable bill. You can reach out to our customer support at services@gophonebox.com or contact us directly at +(1) 855-886-0505 for further assistance. Failure to notify us within this time period means that you have accepted those charges. If any of those discrepancies resulted in unauthorized or incorrect charges on your account, then we will reverse those charges within 30 days of receiving notice from you.

Discounts and Promotions
We will apply a discount, promotion or benefit to your account as long as you remain eligible for it. We may check your eligibility from time to time, and if you become ineligible to receive that discount, promotion or benefit for any reason, we may remove it and/or transfer your Service to a comparable Service plan, without prior notice.

Long distance charges
Mobile local calling areas are the areas in which you can make or receive calls without incurring long distance charges. Mobile calls are defined as local or long distance based on local calling areas. Incoming calls from an international area code may not occur as long distance charges. Your “Outgoing Call” is determined by your physical location. If you dial a number that is local to your physical location, then it is a local call. If you dial a number that is long distance to your physical location, then it is a long distance call. When using Call Forwarding, long distance charges apply when the number to which you forward the call is outside the geographical location associated with your mobile number, regardless of your physical location. Reach out to our customer support team for more information: services@gophonebox.com.
