If We are not satisfied, in Our sole judgement, of Your creditworthiness We reserve the right to decline to connect You to the network or to provide You with the Service. We do not accept any liability for the consequences of Our declining to connect You to the network or declining to provide the Service to You.
This Agreement between You and Us applies from the time that We approve Your request for Service.
You must also pay a deposit if We ask for one (see Clause 8.8 below).
We will open an account in Your name and We will apply charges incurred by You to Your account. We will also credit any money, which We owe to You to Your account or provide You with a cash refund when appropriate.
We may set a monthly credit limit at Our discretion for usage charges, and will advise You of that limit. We may bar You from using the Service if You go over the credit limit.
We may from time to time change these terms and conditions or the charges related to the Service. Where possible in the circumstances, we shall give You reasonable advance notice, of not less than thirty (30) days, of any changes which significantly or adversely affect the Service or Your agreement with Us, or which increase Your charges.

Please check these locations regularly to inform Yourself about changes to the terms and conditions. If You do not agree to any changes made to the terms and conditions which adversely affect the Service or Your agreement with Us or which increase Your charges, You may terminate the Agreement, as regards the affected Service only, by giving Us notice in writing within thirty (30) days of the date of Our notice.

This Agreement applies to any further or additional services provided to You unless it is specifically excluded or unless the provision of that service is governed by a separate agreement.

After the expiration of the Minimum Period this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive terms equal to the Minimum Period (“Renewal Period”) unless You give Us written notice no later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Minimum Period or a Renewal Period then in effect that You wish to terminate the Service.
If You want to end this Agreement prior to the end of the Minimum Period then in effect You must pay Us the appropriate cancellation charge. No cancellation charge is payable if You end this Agreement because any licence which We require to run the network is ended.
We may from time to time have certain promotions or offer bundled services (i.e., more than one Service for one discounted total price) which require customers to have Service for a specified length of time. If You agree to participate in such promotions or sign up for such bundled services, You will not be able to terminate the Agreement on notice until the expiration of that period or You agree to pay the appropriate cancellation charge which may include a repayment of all discounts previously given to You. You agree that You will pay the service charges and usage charges up to the end of the notice period and any roaming or incoming collect call charges within three (3) months after the end of the notice period or until You stop using the Services, whichever is later.
At the end of any Minimum Period during which You enjoyed discounted prices, if the Agreement is not renewed under the same or another minimum service plan, Your Service may be converted to a month-to-month Service plan at a monthly fee that may be higher than Your current rate. If You select a new minimum service plan, the terms of that plan will apply.

WHAT AND HOW YOU PAY
You agree to pay Our charges from time to time for providing the Service to You whether You or someone else uses that service. Bills for all charges will be rendered to You and not Your tenants or anyone else unless specific authority is given in writing by You.
We have a monthly billing period and a bill will be prepared in respect of Your account every month. As agreed between You and Us, or as otherwise stipulated by Us, Your bill will either be mailed to You or made accessible to You via electronic means (email or e-billing) or Our customer portal. For service charges the bill will be for the month to come (i.e. in advance). For usage charges it will be for calls made in the month that has just passed and for any calls made at any earlier time if they have not previously been charged or paid for. We can change the billing period or We may agree with You a different billing period, at Our discretion, and We will inform You in writing thirty (30) days before any changes take effect.
You must pay Your bill by the payment due date stated on the bill. If You do not pay Your bill by the payment due date We can bar Your use of some or all of Our services and charge You interest (as outlined below) on what You owe (plus any applicable reconnection fees). We will charge You interest until You pay in full, all outstanding amounts due to Us. You agree that if You do not pay a bill on time We can say that You have broken this Agreement and We can terminate the Agreement immediately. All of these rights are in addition to any other legal rights We may have against You, which We may also rely upon.
If We give You a discount on Your total monthly fee when You sign up for several bundled Services at the same time and You later cease one of the Services within that bundle, You acknowledge and agree that You thereby lose the benefit of a discounted totalmonthly fee and that You will thereafter be billed at the regular monthly charges for the remaining Services that You continue to use. Where Your ] bundled Services were subject to a Minimum Period (as specified on the Service Application Form) You may also be required to pay a cancellation charge, which may include a repayment of all discounts previously given to You.
Enquiries made to international directory information and any other information services both domestic and international shall be charged at the standard rates in force from time to time and will appear on Your monthly bill.
You will not be relieved from making a prompt payment to Us because You have not received a bill showing the amount owed on Your account. You should call Us immediately if You have not received Your monthly bill or cannot access Your account by electronic means or via Our customer portal, to obtain Your current account balance.
We can change the payment terms for any good reason, for instance, if You do not pay Your bill(s) on time or if any payment method used by You is dishonoured. Such change will be made in accordance with Clause 2.6.
We can at any time ask You for a deposit (or an extra deposit) at Our discretion. We will keep the deposit as a partial guarantee of payment until the end of this Agreement. We will return it to You when You pay Us all outstanding amounts You owe Us and return all Our equipment loaned to You, or We can use Your deposit to cover anything You owe Us. Additionally, if during the period of this Agreement Your financial circumstance or payment history becomes reasonably unacceptable to Us, then We may require adequate assurance of future payment as a condition of continuing Service.
Charging for calls begins when We receive an answer supervisory signal from the dialled number. Calls will be charged at the rates prevailing at the time of connection of the call. You are responsible for payment for all calls that are answered by fax machines, answering machines and all other forms of equipment, or facilities connected to the dialled number. Even where outgoing international direct dialling service has been barred You are responsible for all charges for incoming international collect calls accepted at the service address. In case of any dispute arising from incoming collect calls the statement of the distant administration will be conclusive evidence that such call was accepted.
If You have any queries about the charges on Your bill You should write to Us within three (3) months of the date of the bill in question letting Us know what charges You are disputing and why. We will make every effort to investigate Your claim within thirty (30) days of receiving Your query. We are not obliged to consider claims that any account is incorrect made after three (3) months have elapsed from the date of the bill in question, but if We agree to do so We may charge a reasonable fee for carrying out such investigation. If following any such investigation, it is found that such an account was in fact incorrect We shall refund You that reasonable fee. While We are investigating Your claim You will be responsible for paying all undisputed charges.
Service will not be disconnected for non-payment of a disputed charge unless We have reasonable grounds for believing that the purpose of the dispute is to evade or delay payment.
If You have agreed to pay Your bill by direct debit or credit card, You authorise Us to alter Your variable direct debit or credit card instruction in accordance with the charges applicable to Your Service(s). We will notify Your bank or card issuer each billing period of the amount due.
