We will rectify any faults free of charge unless they are attributable to something that You have done. You may be asked to take damaged Equipment to a designated location for inspection.

- We may include installation or other one-time charges to Your bill.
- You will receive a bill by post or else in electronic format. We may levy a reasonable charge for the provision of the bill in printed format. This charge is as detailed in the Tariff Plan or Schedule of Charges.
- If for whatever reason You do not receive the bill, this does not exempt You from paying it. You should contact Us and We will re-send You a copy of Your bill. You may also request a copy at one of Our retail outlets.
- You should pay all amounts due by the due date written on Your bill. Failure to pay by this date, including if Your attempt at payment is rejected due to insufficient funds or for any other reason, You will incur late payment charges and/or interest fees to the maximum allowable at law and/or any other punitive and/or applicable charges, which will be added to Your bill. These must be paid along with the rest of Your bill. We may also suspend, restrict or terminate Your Service if payment is not received.
- If You do not agree with a charge in Your bill, You should notify Us by the bill due date so that We may investigate the matter. You should pay the uncontested amount of the bill within the due by date printed on Your bill. In the event that the claim is found to be justified We will refund any applicable late payment charges or late payment interest.
- You will be responsible to pay Your bill even if You were not the person making use of the Service, whether such third party usage was made with or without Your consent. If You suspect that someone is making use of Your Service without Your permission or You have lost access to Your Service, such as by losing Your Device/Equipment, You should notify Us immediately so that We will suspend Your Service and You will not incur any more unauthorised charges on Your bill. We will not be responsible to seek payment from these third parties for the unauthorised charges.
- If You do not pay Your bill, We may have to take alternative steps to recover the amounts due. In this case, any additional charges incurred through these measures will need to be paid by You.
- You agree that in the event of the payment of a deposit and/or any advance payments, no interest shall accrue in Your favour.
- If You suspend the Service for any reason directly attributable to You but want Us to retain the connection for You, You will still be responsible to pay the rental charge for the duration of the suspension.
- We may change the frequency with which We send You bills. These changes will not be deemed to constitute a change to Your terms and conditions of service.
- We will charge You for any applicable installation charges that do not fall under Our standard installation policy either upfront or with Your next bill.
- We may make use of third party payment systems for the processing of payments. In these cases, You should be aware that by making use of these systems You will be disclosing Your personal details to these third parties. You should familiarise Yourself with their terms and conditions before proceeding with affecting the payment, and refrain from using their services if You do not agree with any of their clauses.
- When You make use of third party payment methods, whether those provided by Us or other parties, You may be charged a processing fee. You are responsible to pay this fee. You are also responsible to ensure that You take all necessary measures to keep Your personal details, including Your debit/credit card details, safe.
- We may perform a credit worthiness check on You at any time. We may share Your details with credit reference agencies if You default on Your payments. We may also enforce You to pay using specific methods of payment. Further information on our sharing of Your personal data with third party credit reference agencies may be found in our Privacy Policy.
- It is Your responsibility to ensure that You keep all receipts provided to You. You also need to keep in mind that when You pay through online methods, whether through Our portal or a third party service, the receipt may only be available for a certain period of time, after which it will be deleted and cannot be retrieved. You should ensure that You store or print a copy of these receipts for future reference.

You agree to grant Us access to the Premises to recover any Equipment that cannot be removed by You.
