Comply with Applicable Laws
BlackBerry operates as a global company and
does business all over the world. This means we
must comply with the laws of many dierent
countries. You are responsible for knowing and
following the laws that apply where you work or do
business. In addition, because a country’s laws may
apply outside its boundaries you may need to be
familiar with and follow the laws of a country other
than the one where you work or do business.
You may find your activities are subject to the laws
of more than one country at the same time.
If the BS&P or company policies are inconsistent
with local law, you must follow local law. If, however,
a custom or practice permitted by local law is
inconsistent with the BS&P, you must follow the BS&P.
If you are not sure what to do or have any questions
or concerns, you should talk to your manager, HR
Business Partner, Legal or the Integrity & Compliance
Oce. This is particularly important if you think your
activities are subject to the laws of more than one
country and those laws may conflict with each other
or with the BS&P.
Be Aware of the Consequences
Violations of law can have serious consequences for
BlackBerry and you, including substantial monetary
fines, imprisonment or employee discipline up to and
including termination.
Waivers Must Be Provided in Writing
If you would like to seek a waiver of the BS&P,
you must make full disclosure of your particular
circumstances in writing to the Integrity & Compliance
Oce for approval in advance of any action.
Board members and the BlackBerry CEO must seek
such waivers from the Audit and Risk Management
Committee of the Board of Directors. BlackBerry will
disclose such waivers as required by law or applicable
stock exchange rules.
Q: What law or rule should I follow?
A: You should:
• Know and follow the laws of the country (or countries) where you do business.
• Know and follow our BS&P and policies as long as they do not conflict with applicable law.
• When in doubt, ask.
