Numeris (“we”, “us”) would like to thank you for agreeing to participate in the Numeris Online TV Panel. This letter confirms you and your household’s agreement to participate in the Online TV Panel (the “Panel”) and outlines our mutual obligations. As part of the Panel, we will be providing your household with an electronic metering device called a FocalMeter (“Meter”). The Meter will only measure your household’s online consumption of video content from select broadcasters (the “Inclusion list”). A complete and updated Inclusion list of the currently selected broadcasters, subject to change, is available at www.numeris.ca/inclusionlist. The Meter will provide this data (“Data”) electronically to Numeris to allow us to measure video consumption from the devices connected to your household network (e.g., computers, smart phones, tablets).
