Toutes les personnes physiques et morales comptant moins de cinquante (50) employés, domiciliées ou ayant été domiciliées au Québec, et ayant payé entre le 1er février 2010 et le 30 juin 2013 des frais de résiliation et/ou d’annulation à Bell Canada (ou Bell ExpressVu LP) en vertu d’un contrat conclu avant le 30 juin 2010 et concernant un service d’accès Internet et/ou de télévision.

Without admission of any kind and for the sole purpose of avoiding a lengthy trial and putting an end to this litigation, Bell Canada will pay $1,000,000 (including taxes).

The class members entitled to an amount will receive a $35 refund (including taxes), after deduction of class counsel fees ($300,000 plus taxes) and other costs and expenses, including those related to the administration of the settlement, subject to Court approval.

Un chèque sera envoyé par la poste à l’adresse figurant dans les dossiers de Bell Canada ou à l’adresse mise à jour par le membre du groupe. Si plus d’un membre du groupe est nommé sur le contrat, le montant de 35 $ ou 70 $ sera divisé en parts égales.

In order to receive the $35 or $70 refund, you have to have:

Entered into a residential (consumer) contract with Bell Canada or Bell ExpressVu LP for Internet or television services before June 30, 2010; AND

Paid early termination (or cancellation) fees between February 1, 2010 and June 30, 2013.
Class members who do not meet the above criteria, including class members who failed to give notice to Bell Canada ou Bell ExpressVu LP 30 days before cancelling their services, are not entitled to any money.

A cheque will be sent by mail to the address appearing in Bell Canada’s files or to the address as updated by the class member. If more than one class member is named on the contract, the amount of $35 or $70 will be divided equally.

Les membres du groupe qui n’encaisseront pas le chèque dans les 6 mois suivant la date du chèque auront renoncé à leur droit à ce montant et n’auront droit à aucun autre montant ou compensation.
