Telus's Acceptable Use Policy
Effective Date: January 7, 2004
Introduction

TELUS Communications Inc. and its affiliates ("TELUS") is committed to being
the best possible network citizen. To assist us in protecting the usefulness
and enjoyment of the Internet for our Customers and for other users, we
require that our Customers comply with the terms of this document, which
outlines our policies on acceptable use of our services.

When using TELUS Internet access services, hosting services, internetworking
services, or any chat rooms, message boards, news groups, software
libraries, personal web pages or any other message or communication services
that may be available to the Customer on or through TELUS Internet systems
(collectively, the "Communication Services"), the Customer is prohibited
from engaging in certain activities which include, but are not limited to,
those described in this Acceptable Use Policy.

For the purposes of this Acceptable Use Policy, a "Customer" is an
individual or organization that has a service agreement or contract with
TELUS for use of the Communication Services, or otherwise uses the
Communication Services.

If the Customer engages in any of the prohibited activities described below
it may, at the sole discretion of TELUS and without notice to the Customer,
result in the immediate (1) restriction, suspension or termination of the

the Customer's TELUS Internet access or hosting service), without
compensation to the Customer, (2) blocking or filtering of the Customer's
content, data or materials, (3) application of complaint processing fees,
disconnection fees and additional service charges to the Customer's account,
(4) deletion of the Customer's content, data or materials from TELUS
servers, or (5) involvement of law enforcement agencies. Such activities may
also result in civil or criminal liability. The foregoing applies
notwithstanding any language or term to the contrary contained in any
agreement that the Customer may have with TELUS.

The Customer is responsible for use of the Communication Services by any
third party who directly or indirectly utilizes the Communication Services
provided by TELUS to the Customer, whether or not such use has been
authorized by the Customer.

  h.. Falsifying address information, modifying message headers to conceal
the Customer's identity or impersonating others, for the purpose of

  i.. Posting, uploading, reproducing, distributing, otherwise transmitting,
or collecting responses from unauthorized or unsolicited duplicative e-mail
messages, junk or bulk e-mail messages, chain letters, newsgroup postings or
other "spam" (TELUS reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion,
whether a message constitutes "spam")
  j.. Engaging in any conduct that directly or indirectly encourages,
facilitates, promotes, relies upon or permits the foregoing prohibited
activities including, without limitation, failing to implement reasonable
technical or administrative measures to prevent spam, viruses and worms
Cooperation with Other Providers

TELUS may cooperate with other on-line service providers to discourage and
resist abuses of acceptable use policies. TELUS reserves the right to take
corrective action against the Customer upon notification to TELUS of
unacceptable activities by the Customer on other networks. The Customer is
prohibited from using the services of another provider to engage in or
facilitate any activity that violates this Acceptable Use Policy.

Indemnification

The Customer will indemnify and hold harmless TELUS from all demands,
claims, proceedings, awards, action, damages, losses, costs, charges and
expenses, including legal fees, incurred by or made against TELUS, which
result from or relate to violation by the Customer of this Acceptable Use
Policy. The Customer shall give TELUS prompt notice of any such demand,
claim or proceeding that the customer is aware of.

Reservation of Rights and TELUS Liability

Nothing in this Acceptable Use Policy shall be interpreted to limit TELUS'
rights or remedies in any way with respect to any of the foregoing
activities (including, without limitation, TELUS' rights or remedies under
any agreement between TELUS and the Customer) and TELUS reserves all rights
and remedies available to it with respect to such activities at law or in
equity. TELUS does not assume liability to the Customer or any other party
for failure to enforce the terms of this Acceptable Use Policy.

Modifications

The terms of this Acceptable Use Policy may change at any time and without
prior notice. The Customer is responsible for frequently reviewing this
Acceptable Use Policy posted on TELUS' web site to obtain timely notice of
any such changes.
