1. Ordering the service

1.1 To order the Service from us you must be at least 18 years old, have a valid email address and a bank account from which we can take payments by Direct Debit. You can provide us your bank details using the secure online link we will make available to you.

1.2 You can order the Service from us either online, by email, over the phone or in person.

1.3 After you have placed your order we will, if we can, accept your order for Services and send you an Order Confirmation. This will set out all the details about the Services we will provide to you, and how much it will cost you. But we will reject your order if we are not satisfied that you are 18 or over or if you fail any credit check that we may carry out. We will also share your payment performance history with credit reference agencies.

1.4 These Terms will become legally binding once we have accepted your Order. We will then send you an Order Confirmation with a copy of these Terms which will let you know when the Services will start and ask you to confirm your Direct Debit details.

1.5 In the Order Confirmation we will let you know if we need to arrange a time to come and visit your premises to install any equipment that might be necessary for the Services to work. When we visit we will may connect the Services to at least one of your devices using the wireless router that we will supply (see more about this equipment below).

1.6 We will try to ensure that we provide the Service to you by the Service Commencement Date or earlier. But to provide you with the Services we may need you to obtain any consents or approvals or rights of way if necessary for the provision of the Service.

1.7 Upon the Service Activation date, we will charge you one month’s full subscription in advance and we may charge you again within 30 days in order to align with your preferred payment date. After that first payment has been made you will then benefit from any free period of Service that we have agreed to provide you, as set out on your Order Confirmation.

1.8 When you contact us, we will take steps to verify your identity as the Account Holder. If you wish for someone else to contact us about your account or the Services we are providing under these Terms, then you must let us know and we will only communicate with them once we are satisfied that they have your permission.

2. Your right to cancel the Service early

2.1 You can change your mind and cancel the service within 14 days of your Service starting (the cooling off period). If we have started providing you the Service, you’ll have to pay us for the cost of the Service we have provided you including any activation fees.

2.2 If you upgrade to a new contract while you are still within the Minimum Period on your old contract, and then choose to cancel the new contract during the 14-day cooling off period, we will revert you back to your original plan for the rest of the original term Minimum Period you signed up to.

2.3 If you cancel a service within the cooling-off period and we’ve provided you with loaned equipment for that service (such as a 4G router), the agreement won’t end until you’ve returned the loaned equipment.

2.4 You must return to us the loaned equipment, within 14 days of cancelling a service. We’ll give you some pre-paid packaging to do this. If you don’t return the loaned equipment within 14 days you’ll have to pay the full cost of the loaned equipment. Once the loaned equipment is returned to us we will inspect it and if it is damaged we will charge you the full value of the equipment.

2.5 In most cases in order to provide you the Service we have to rely upon the broadband routers which are part of your property. If you cancel the Service you agree that you will not damage these routers or attempt to move them physically within your home or remove them altogether, without our express written permission. You acknowledge that although you may no longer require the Service the router is a physical part of your home and the next person who lives there may want to use the router. If you do damage the router we may seek compensation from you for doing so.

3. Keeping your accounts secure

3.1 You or any other member of your household may use the Service. But it is your responsibility to keep any usernames or passwords secret. Do not disclose them to any other person for any reason

3.2 If you lose your password or disclose it to someone else then you must tell us immediately. Until you inform us that your password has been shared, lost or stolen, you will be liable for anything that is done with your account by someone else using your log in details during that time.

3.3 We may deactivate, change or ask you to change your user account passwords at any time if we (i) believe that there has or is likely to be a breach of security, or (ii) to protect the Services for the sue by others, or (iii) if you have breached these Terms, or if (iv) if we are legally required to do so.

3.4 You are responsible if you or anyone else in your household mis-uses the Service in breach of these Terms. It is your responsibility to make sure that people in your household comply with these Terms when using the Service.

4. Providing you with the Service

4.1 You agree that you will not use the services for any commercial or resale purposes. The Service is only for your personal use.

4.2 We will provide the Service to you with reasonable care and skill. We will provide the Service throughout the original minimum term you have signed up for (Minimum Term) and thereafter on a rolling basis until either you or we terminate the Service on 30 days’ notice, or in accordance with the section on Ending Your Agreement below.

4.3 You may at any point during the Minimum term or afterwards choose to buy new Services from us, and if so we will provide you those Services for the new Minimum Term you may have agreed with us.

4.4 We may change the Service from time to time and add in extra features or functionality. But if we do so we will keep the quality, quantity and variety of features and functions overall constant.

4.5 We will try to provide you with an exceptional Service. But your use of the Service is at your sole risk and you assume full responsibility for all costs associated with it, unless we have negligent or we have breached these Terms in which we will be liable to repair the Service of fix any faults as required. However, you accept that we may not always be able to provide the Services entirely free of faults and that we do not undertake to do so.

4.6 We may restrict your use of the Service if we find that you are in breach of our Fair Usage Policy.

4.7 You accept that we may not be able to provide you with the Services if something happens to us that is outside of our control which prevents us from doing so. You should be aware that if that happens you may not be able to make emergency calls. We shall also try to resolve the underlying problem as soon as we can. But if after one month we have not been able to resolve the underlying issue then either you or we can end this Agreement in line with the section below on Ending your Agreement.

4.8 If you do suffer any fault with the Service you must let us know as soon as possible by contacting us on 0330 223 2266 or if a connection is available by other means by email to [email protected]. We will investigate the fault and try our very best to fix it as soon as we can.

5. Updating the Service

5.1 We may sometimes have to interrupt the Service for operational reasons or for planned maintenance, or to upgrade it. If we do so then where possible we will give you forty-eight hours notice by email. But sometimes it may not be practical to give you notice of an interruption and in such circumstances you shall have no claim against us for any such interruption.

5.2 When we upgrade the Service, we may need you to indicate that you accept the upgrade and if necessary any revised terms of service, which may mean changes to these Terms. Where your ongoing use of the Services requires you to accept any updates that we provide and you refuse to accept the updates by refusing to select the “I AGREE” checkbox, we may end our agreement to provide you with the Service and the Service will end on the day of your refusal. In such event, you will receive a refund on a pro-rata basis for any period of time that has been paid for after the termination.

6. Equipment that we may provide you

6.1 Wi-fi Boosters: You may either choose to buy the wi-fi boosters for the price we tell you at the time you place your order as set out in the Price Guide, or alternatively you may choose to hire the wi-fi boosters from us on a temporary basis for the wi-fi booster rental price we set out in our Price Guide.

6.2 If you choose to hire the wi-fi boosters from us then, when your contract ends for whatever reason, you must return the wi-fi booster to us following our written instructions. We may end your Agreement with us for the Service if you fail to keep up with your wi-fi boosters’ rental payments. If you fail to post the wi-fi boosters back to us or show proof that you have posted it, within 30 days of being asked to do so, we will charge you for the cost of the wi-fi boosters as compensation to us. Equally if the wi-fi boosters are damaged beyond fair wear and tear we may charge you for the cost of a replacement or the cost of repair (whichever is cheaper).

6.3 4G router: Where we are unable to provide you with the fibre broadband Service immediately or for a period of time after you have placed your order we may instead provide you with a 4G router. We both agree that the Service from a 4G router will not be as strong as full-fibre broadband service. If we do provide you with a 4G router then we will:

a) aim for you to have to use it for no more than two weeks;

b) send it to you in full working order with a SIM card already loaded so that you can use it immediately.

6.4 When we connect your live Service, you must send back to us the 4G router with the SIM and any other parts, following our written instructions. If you fail to return the router to us within 14 days of being asked to do so, or you send the router back to us and it is not working for reasons other than fair wear and tear, then we will charge you the cost of a replacement router as compensation to us. You may not allow the router to be used by anyone else other than yourself and those who you co-habit with. You may not allow other people who live in separate apartments or flats in the same property as you live in, to use the router.

7. What do I pay?

7.1 All of the charges you will have to pay are set out in the Order Confirmation we send you. We will waive the Set-up charge when we are connecting you to the Service. But if you decide to cancel your order for the Service within 14 days of placing your order then we will charge you the Set-up charge. If you do not cancel your order within 14 days then you will not have to pay the Set-up charge. If for whatever reason we are unable to install the equipment we will not charge you the Set-up charge in any event.

7.2 Charges, apart from the installation charge, will be on a monthly basis. We will make all invoices available on request from [email protected] and these invoices will include itemised billing at no charge. If, for exceptional reasons, we agree to accept a payment method from you other than by direct debit, we will charge you a non-Direct Debit charge for not paying by Direct Debit.

7.3 If you cancel the Agreement you will not be entitled to a refund for any Service you have paid for in advance but not used. If you end your Agreement during the Minimum Term you will have to pay us early termination charges which you can find here.

7.4 All charges include VAT. If the VAT rate changes we will adjust our charges accordingly from when any change in the VAT rate comes into effect.

7.5 If you owe us any money then we may set that amount off against any amount we may owe you.

7.6 We will not charge you for any call to our customers helpline or to the emergency numbers 999 and 112.

7.7 We will not charge you for fixing any faults in your Service unless upon investigation we find that either there was no fault, or the fault was caused by you. In those cases, we will charge you for any time incurred and any equipment that we may need to replace, in accordance with our Price Guide.

7.8 If you miss a booked appointment and do not provide us with at least 24 hours notice we reserve the right to charge you a missed appointment fee in accordance with our Price Guide.

8. What happens if I pay late?

8.1 If you miss a payment we will let you know and ask for you to make an immediate payment. We may also charge you a Late Payment Charge. If you are still unable to pay your debt after 14 days then we may suspend your Service. During any period of suspension, you will still be liable to pay us for the Service. If you have still not paid the outstanding debt after [30 days] of the original missed payment, then we will end your Service.

8.2 We will then write to you asking for you to pay the monies that you owe us. If you still fail to make payment then we may pass your debt on at that point in time to a Debt Collection Agency

8.3 If we do pass your details to Debt Collection Agency (DCA), we will give them your details, including your personal information and ask them to collect the debt you owe for us. The DCA may levy a charge to us for collecting the debt. Where they do so we will pass that charge on to you to cover our costs. VAT will not be added to any extra charge we add to your bill.

8.4 If we have suspended the Service we may charge you a re-connection charge to re-connect your service after we have ceased your Service for non-payment.

8.5 If we consider that you are having difficulty in paying the for the Service then we may reach an agreement with you to downgrade your Service to a more affordable version for a temporary period of not more than three months. After the three months has ended we will revert you back to your original Agreement. We will only do this once during your initial Minimum Period. After the Minimum Period has ended you may choose to downgrade or upgrade your Service as you need.

9. Visiting your home to set up the Service or to fix faults

9.1 We may have to enter your home to install the equipment and if there is a fault we may need to return to your home to check that the equipment is working properly and replace it if necessary. We may also need to inspect the equipment on occasion to make sure it is working properly.

9.2 If we do so we will give you as much notice as possible when we arrange a time to visit you. However, any installation time on the date we give you will be an estimate. But if you are not present when we do come to visit you then we may charge you for our time.

9.3 When we do install equipment in your home it is your responsibility to make sure that we have the necessary permissions to do so. You may need to check the terms of your lease or your tenancy agreement with your landlord before we proceed. This means that you must at your own expense permit, or obtain for us all permissions, licenses, registration and approvals necessary for us or our agents to have access to your premises in order to do the necessary installation work. Even after this Agreement ends you must allow us access to your premises to maintain the equipment until such time as we have removed all our equipment from your Premises.

We will however offer you or someone else at your address a new Minimum Period if you or they wish to upgrade the Services being provided by us.

4.6 We may restrict your use of the Service if we find that you are in breach of our Fair Usage Policy.

4.7 You accept that we may not be able to provide you with the Services if something happens to us that is outside of our control which prevents us from doing so.

If we do so then where possible we will give you forty-eight hours notice by email. But sometimes it may not be practical to give you notice of an interruption and in such circumstances you shall have no claim against us for any such interruption.

5.2 When we upgrade the Service, we may need you to indicate that you accept the upgrade and if necessary any revised terms of service, which may mean changes to these Terms. Where your ongoing use of the Services requires you to accept any updates that we provide and you refuse to accept the updates by refusing to select the “I AGREE” checkbox, we may end our agreement to provide you with the Service and the Service will end on the day of your refusal. In such event, you will receive a refund on a pro-rata basis for any period of time that has been paid for after the termination.

6. Equipment that we may provide you

6.1 Wi-fi Boosters: You may either choose to buy the wi-fi boosters for the price we tell you at the time you place your order as set out in the Price Guide, or alternatively you may choose to hire the wi-fi boosters from us on a temporary basis for the wi-fi booster rental price we set out in our Price Guide.

Equally if the wi-fi boosters are damaged beyond fair wear and tear we may charge you for the cost of a replacement or the cost of repair (whichever is cheaper).

6.3 4G router: Where we are unable to provide you with the fibre broadband Service immediately or for a period of time after you have placed your order we may instead provide you with a 4G router. We both agree that the Service from a 4G router will not be as strong as full-fibre broadband service. If we do provide you with a 4G router then we will:

a) aim for you to have to use it for no more than two weeks;

b) send it to you in full working order with a SIM card already loaded so that you can use it immediately.

6.4 When we connect your live Service, you must send back to us the 4G router with the SIM and any other parts, following our written instructions. If you fail to return the router to us within 14 days of being asked to do so, or you send the router back to us and it is not working for reasons other than fair wear and tear, then we will charge you the cost of a replacement router as compensation to us. You may not allow the router to be used by anyone else other than yourself and those who you co-habit with. You may not allow other people who live in separate apartments or flats in the same property as you live in, to use the router.

7. What do I pay?

7.1 All of the charges you will have to pay are set out in the Order Confirmation we send you. We will waive the Set-up charge when we are connecting you to the Service. But if you decide to cancel your order for the Service within 14 days of placing your order then we will charge you the Set-up charge.

If for whatever reason we are unable to install the equipment we will not charge you the Set-up charge in any event.

We will make all invoices available on request from [email protected] and these invoices will include itemised billing at no charge.

8. What happens if I pay late?

8.1 If you miss a payment we will let you know and ask for you to make an immediate payment. We may also charge you a Late Payment Charge. If you are still unable to pay your debt after 14 days then we may suspend your Service. During any period of suspension, you will still be liable to pay us for the Service. If you have still not paid the outstanding debt after [30 days] of the original missed payment, then we will end your Service.

8.2 We will then write to you asking for you to pay the monies that you owe us. If you still fail to make payment then we may pass your debt on at that point in time to a Debt Collection Agency

8.3 If we do pass your details to Debt Collection Agency (DCA), we will give them your details, including your personal information and ask them to collect the debt you owe for us. The DCA may levy a charge to us for collecting the debt. Where they do so we will pass that charge on to you to cover our costs. VAT will not be added to any extra charge we add to your bill.

8.4 If we have suspended the Service we may charge you a re-connection charge to re-connect your service after we have ceased your Service for non-payment.

8.5 If we consider that you are having difficulty in paying the for the Service then we may reach an agreement with you to downgrade your Service to a more affordable version for a temporary period of not more than three months. After the three months has ended we will revert you back to your original Agreement. We will only do this once during your initial Minimum Period.

We will however offer you or someone else at your address a new Minimum Period if you or they wish to upgrade the Services being provided by us.

3.3 You may at any point during the Minimum term or afterwards choose to buy new Services from us, and if so we will provide you those Services for the new Minimum Term you may have agreed with us.

3.4 We may change the Service from time to time and add in extra features or functionality however, if we do so, we will keep the quality, quantity and variety of features and functions overall constant.

3.5 We will try to provide you with an exceptional Service but your use of the Service is at your sole risk and you assume full responsibility for all costs associated with it. If we have been negligent or we have breached these Terms, we will be liable to repair the Service or fix any faults as required. However, you accept that we may not always be able to provide the Services entirely free of faults and that we do not undertake to do so.

3.6 We may restrict your use of the Service if we find that you are in breach of our Fair Usage Policy.

3.7 You accept that we may not be able to provide you with the Services if something happens to us that is outside of our control which prevents us from doing so.

If after one month we have not been able to resolve the underlying issue then either you or we can end this Agreement in line with the section below on ‘Ending your Agreement’.

3.8 If you do suffer any fault with the Service you must let us know as soon as possible by contacting us on 0330 223 2266 or if a connection is available by other means by email to [email protected]. We will investigate the fault and try our very best to fix it as soon as we can.

Sometimes it may not be practical to give you notice of an interruption and in such circumstances you shall have no claim against us for any such interruption.

4.2 When we upgrade the Service, we may need you to indicate that you accept the upgrade and if necessary any revised terms of Service, which may mean changes to these Terms. Where your ongoing use of the Services requires you to accept any updates that we provide and you refuse to accept the updates by refusing to select the “I AGREE” checkbox, we may end our agreement to provide you with the Service and the Service will end on the day of your refusal. In such event, you will receive a refund on a pro-rata basis for any period of time that has been paid for after termination has taken effect.

5.1 Wi-fi Boosters: You may either choose to buy the wi-fi booster for the price we tell you at the time you place your order as set out in the Price Guide, or alternatively you may choose to hire the wi-fi boosters from us on a temporary basis for the wi-fi booster rental price we set out in our Price Guide.

5.2 If you choose to hire the wi-fi boosters from us then, when your contract ends for whatever reason, you must return the wi-fi booster to us following our written instructions. We may end your Agreement with us for the Service if you fail to keep up with your wi-fi boosters’ rental payments. If you fail to post the wi-fi boosters back to us or show proof that you have posted it, within 30 days of being asked to do so, we will charge you for the cost of the wi-fi boosters as compensation to us. Equally if the wi-fi boosters are damaged beyond fair wear and tear we may charge you for the cost of a replacement or the cost of repair (whichever is cheaper).

5.3 4G router: Where we are unable to provide you with the fibre broadband Service immediately, or for a period of time after you have placed your order, we may instead provide you with a 4G router. We both agree that the Service from a 4G router will not be as strong as a full fibre broadband service. If we do provide you with a 4G router then we will:

aim for you to have to use it for no more than two weeks;
send it to you in full working order with a SIM card already loaded so that you can use it immediately.
5.4 When we connect your live Service, you must send back to us the 4G router with the SIM and any other parts, following our written instructions. If you fail to return the router to us within 14 days of being asked to do so, or you send the router back to us and it is not working for reasons other than fair wear and tear, then we will charge you the cost of a replacement router as compensation to us. Your 4G router may only be used for your Business purposes and for no other purpose.

6. What do I pay?

6.1 All of the charges you will have to pay are set out in the Order Confirmation we send you. We will waive the Set-up charge when we are connecting you to the service, however if you decide to cancel your order for the service within 14 days of placing your order then we will charge you the Set-up charge. If you do not cancel your order within 14 days then you will not have to pay the Set-up charge. If, for whatever reason, we are unable to install the equipment we will not charge you the Set-up charge in any event

6.3 All charges apart from the Set-up charge will be on a monthly basis. We will make all invoices available on request from [email protected] and these invoices will include itemised billing at no charge.

6.4 If you cancel the Agreement you will not be entitled to a refund for any Service you have paid for in advance but not used. If you end your Agreement during the Minimum Term you will have to pay us Early Termination charges which you can find here.

6.5 All charges include VAT. If the VAT rate changes we will adjust our charges accordingly from when any change in the VAT rate comes into effect.

6.6 If you owe us any money then we may set that amount off against any amount we may owe you.

6.7 We will not charge you for any call to our customers helpline or to the emergency numbers 999 and 112.

6.8 We will not charge you for fixing any faults in your Service unless upon investigation we find that either there was no fault, or the fault was caused by you. In those cases, we will charge you for any time incurred and any equipment that we may need to replace, in accordance with our Price Guide.

If you miss a booked appointment and do not provide us with at least 24 hours notice, we reserve the right to charge you a missed appointment fee in accordance with our Price Guide.

7. What happens if I pay late?

7.1 If you miss a payment we will let you know and ask for you to make an immediate payment. We may also charge you a Late Payment Charge. If you are still unable to pay your debt after 14 days then we may suspend your Service. During any period of suspension, you will still be liable to pay us for the Service. If you have still not paid the outstanding debt after 30 days of the original missed payment, then we will end your Service.

7.2 We will then write to you asking for you to pay the monies that you owe us. If you still fail to make payment then we may pass your debt on at that point in time to a Debt Collection Agency (DCA).

7.3 If we do pass your details to a DCA we will give them your details, including your personal information, and ask them to collect the debt you owe for us. The DCA may levy a charge to us for collecting the debt. Where they do so, we will pass that charge on to you to cover our costs. VAT will not be added to any extra charge we add to your bill.

7.4 If we have suspended the Service we may charge you a re-connection charge to re-connect your service after we have ceased your Service for non-payment.

8. Visiting your home to set up the Service or to fix faults

8.1 We may have to enter your Business premises to install the equipment and if there is a fault we may need to return to your Business premises to check that the equipment is working properly and replace it if necessary. We may also need to inspect the equipment on occasion to make sure it is working properly.

8.2 If we do so, we will give you as much notice as possible when we arrange a time to visit you. However, any installation time on the date we give you will be an estimate. If you are not present when we do come to visit you then we may charge you for our time.

8.3 When we do install equipment in your Business premises it is your responsibility to make sure that we have the necessary permissions to do so. You may need to check the terms of your lease or your tenancy agreement with your landlord before we proceed. This means that you must at your own expense permit, or obtain for us all permissions, licenses, registrations and approvals necessary for us or our agents to have access to your Business premises in order to do the necessary installation work. Even after this Agreement ends, you must allow us access to your Business premises until such time as we have removed all our equipment from your Business premises.

We will own the router that we have installed in your Business premises and we are loaning it to you so that you can use the Services. You will own any other equipment we sell to you in connection with the Services such as wi-fi boosters (unless we have loaned you a 4G router to use temporarily until the service is live – see section 5 above).

9.2 You will be responsible for keeping the equipment we have loaned to you safe and secure. You will be liable to us if the equipment is damaged beyond fair wear and tear. You must let us know if the equipment does become damaged. You also agree that you will:

keep the equipment at your Business premises;
look after the equipment in line with our instructions;
not alter, repair or interfere with the equipment without our consent;
not connect any other broadband routers to our network that we have not supplied to you;
not sell or give the equipment to anyone else.

it becomes illegal for us to carry on providing you the Service;
one of our underlying wholesale network service providers supporting us in providing you the Services ceases operations or materially alters the service they are providing us such that it is no longer economically possible for us to provide you the Services;
something happens beyond our reasonable control which means we can no longer provide you with the Service.
12.3 If we have to end the Service for any of these reasons we will refund to you any fees you have paid us in advance for the provision of Service we can no longer provide.

12.4 If you move your Business premises we may be able to provide your Service at your new Business address. If that is possible for us to do we will charge you an administration fee as set out on the Price Guide. We will continue to provide the Service at your new address.
