Business Transponder Lease Agreement

How you use the transponder

• We’ll register your transponder with the vehicle and licence plate number you give us in this application. You will attach the transponder to that vehicle according to our transponder mounting instructions located at 407etr.com. You must

  not

  use your transponder in other vehicles, including rental vehicles. If you do, you will be responsible for all resulting fees, and we may end this lease and ask you to return the transponder.

• If your transponder stops working, return it to us and we’ll replace it for free, as long as you’ve followed the Terms. If we find that you misused or abused the transponder, or it was lost or stolen, you must pay a replacement fee. To replace a missing transponder, you must let us know immediately and provide a copy of a police report. You must also pay all fees and charges for the use of the transponder up to the time you report it missing.

  Our responsibility under this lease is limited to replacing a defective, lost or stolen transponder.

Paying tolls, fees and other charges

• You may be required to pay a security deposit when you submit your application. We will not keep your security deposit in a separate account or hold it in trust for you and it will not earn interest. We may use your security deposit to pay any fees you owe us. When your lease ends we’ll return your security deposit, less any fees you owe.

• You must pay all tolls, fees and other charges incurred in connection with your transponder or use of the toll highway. The transponder lease fee is non-refundable even if you don’t use the transponder.

  If you don’t pay, we may charge interest and applicable fees, temporarily or permanently disable all transponders you’ve leased, commence collection activities and/or legal proceedings, and you may not be able to renew your vehicle permit or get a new one.

  If we temporarily disable your transponders, we may reactivate them after receiving full payment. All Terms will remain in force while the transponders are temporarily disabled and if they are reactivated. All tolls, fees and other charges are set out in the Fee Schedule and the Complete Fee Details located at 407etr.com.

• Joint owners of a licence plate are both responsible (separately and together) for paying any amounts owed to us.

• We decide how to allocate your payments to the amounts you owe.

• If you get a bill that includes camera charges, call us within 30 days of the bill date to discuss them with us. If you don’t, you’re responsible for all applicable charges plus any interest.

• If you choose to pay for your transponder lease monthly but don’t use the transponder for 12 months in a row, we may move you to an annual lease payment.

• Limitation Period: We have up to 15 years from the date of an unpaid bill to take legal action to collect any Highway 407 ETR amounts you owe us.

How we use your information

• We may collect, use, disclose and retain information about you for the purposes described in our Privacy Notice and in accordance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and Ontario’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, as applicable. For example, for the purposes of operating and managing the toll highway,

  we may contact you about your overdue balance, request a credit investigation or a consumer report about you, or exchange information about you with governmental agencies, credit reporting agencies, collection agencies, or other relevant service providers in Ontario or other jurisdictions. This information may also impact your application.

• We can end the lease by giving you written notice or asking you to return all transponders to us, our authorized agent, or to a police officer. The transponders must be returned to the address above within 15 days of receiving the notice.
