This agreement is established between you and Videotron. It stipulates the terms and conditions (the "terms of service") that apply to the use of T911 service (the "Service").

For the purposes of the terms of service, "Customer" indicates the person or company whose name appears on the Service Subscription form and on the invoice.

1. Description of service
   The Service can be accessed from a mobile phone. The Service enables people who are deaf, hearing impaired or who have a speech impediment to communicate with 911 services via text messaging. This service is free.
    
2. How it works
   To use the Service, the Customer must:
   a. Subscribe to the Service by filling out the form found on our website, at videotron.com.
   b. Receive a text message from Videotron, confirming that the Service has been activated. If the Customer does not receive a text message within five (5) working days, they must contact Customer Service.
   
   When making an emergency call, the Customer must:
   a. Make a voice call to 911 emergency services. The customer must be sure to unlock the keypad of their mobile phone prior to making a voice call to 911.
