THE FOLLOWING TERMS GOVERN THE USE OF THE SITE AND INCLUDE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISIONS. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WHEN YOU REGISTER TO USE THE SITE AND YOU ARE BOUND BY THEM EVEN IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO READ THEM.

1. APPLICATION AND ACCEPTANCE.  You must register with Bell MTS to access the Site and to use any Services offered through the Site in connection with one or more Accounts. You must be 18 years of age or older to register on behalf of consumer Accounts. If you register on behalf of a business Account you affirm that you are duly authorized to agree to these terms and conditions on behalf of the business customer related to that Account. Access to the Site and the Services provided through the Site is provided only with the consent of Bell MTS, which consent is subject to your acceptance, through the registration process, of the MyAccount Terms and Conditions and of any other terms and conditions that are specific to a Service provided through the Site to which you have subscribed (collectively the “Terms and Conditions”). Your use of the Username and password issued to you or chosen by you during the registration process to access the Site and/or the Services (as applicable) constitutes continued knowledge and acceptance of the Terms and Conditions as they may be amended from time to time.
2. USERNAME AND PASSWORD.  Bell MTS may assign to you a Username and temporary password to access MyAccount. You will be required to choose your own password during the registration process.
