Connectivity Services – Terms and Conditions

 

  1.  Service Contract Period

All contracts for all VoIP Services, PSTN lines, broadband, leased lines and other connectivity service are subject to a minimum initial period of 12 months (unless otherwise stated) which starts on the date of our acceptance email (or on service delivery date), and your Service starts on the date that you are connected to our network, service or your local BT exchange. After the initial minimum contract period of twelve (12) months (unless otherwise stated) has elapsed, you can terminate your contract at any time without paying any cancellation fees, providing you give us one (1) months’ written notice of termination. However, if you wish to terminate your account with less than one (1) months’ notice, there’s an express cancellation fee of £50+VAT (service dependant). Service will be terminated between 1 and 30 days after receipt of your written express cancellation notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the cancellation of any connectivity service may result in an additional Circuit Cessation Charge.

 

  1. Installation / Cancellation Charges

Our services are subject to the following cancellation charges.

  1. A) Before Circuit Delivery Date

Should you wish to end your contract before you are connected you may do so, but you must agree to pay all connection Charges incurred and you will need to pay the express cancellation administrative fee of £50 (service dependant) +VAT to terminate your contract.

  1. B) Within contract period (12 months)

Our Broadband service is subject to a 12 month minimum term. If you cancel a service (with 30 day written notice) within 12 months of the Circuit Delivery Date (the date on which the circuit is installed) you will be required to pay £38.64+VAT (service dependant) and remaining contract fees (cost of remaining contract term).

  1. C) Out of contract period (after 12 months)

Services are subject to 30 day notice period, and require one (1) months’ written notice of termination. If you cancel after 12 months you may be required to pay a cancellation fee of £17 +VAT (service dependant).

  1. D) Additional installation and activation charges may apply for connectivity services.

Some services (eg leased lines and FTTP services) may be subject to additional installation and activation charges. These must be understood, agreed and accepted before the order can be placed.

 

  1. Payment

You must pay the fees (together with VAT and any applicable taxes) when you order Goods or order or renew any Services. Payment for Goods may be made by Direct Debit or BACS, in advance or, if we agree to credit terms, within 14 days of our invoice.
