The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that where the infrastructure is not available and/or there is insufficient capacity to support the new Service and/or GO is not given full and unhindered access to the premises, including any common parts, GO may experience delays in providing the Service.

4.3 Where delays beyond the stipulated timeframes for the connection of the Service are incurred without justification or for reasons within GO’s control, the Subscriber has the right to terminate the Agreement without incurring any penalties. In this case, any and all Equipment issued by GO to the Subscriber for the purposes of the Agreement shall be returned unused by the Subscriber to GO in the original packaging on the same day in which he terminates the Agreement.

If the applicant or Subscriber is a company, commercial partnership, civil partnership, club, association, co-operative or other entity, we reserve the right to request, at any time, the individual signing, or who has signed, in his representative capacity, to sign GO’s Personal Guarantee Form, in order to personally guarantee, jointly and severally with the aforesaid entity, the payment of any Charges and the observance of these Conditions.

behalf, are to be immediately notified to us by sending an authenticated copy of the Board/Partners’/Committee resolution as applicable, together with a fresh Personal Guarantee Form, if applicable. Failure to submit a fresh Personal Guarantee Form, where applicable, will mean that the individual last known to us, as provided in these Conditions, will remain personally and jointly and severally liable for any Charges.

6.1. Before processing the Application, or after having accepted the Application, we may require the payment of a deposit or any other form of guarantee by way of security for the payment of Charges as well as for the payment of the cost of any loss or damage which may be caused to the Installation. We retain sole discretion to determine the form that such other guarantee should take.

7.3. We shall provide and install any wiring or cabling up to the Installation of the first socket (also referred to as the Master socket) which will be connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network, and any Installation so provided shall remain our property.

7.4. In the case of a request for the Installation of a new telephone line, we will only install the main telephone socket up to five (5) metres from the practical point of entry into the premises. Beyond five (5) metres you will need to apply for an Internal Extension against the applicable Charge as specified in the Price List, or have the work carried out by a competent contractor.

7.5. Furthermore, we reserve the right to recover the extra costs which we incur when the Installation requires external wiring or cabling of a greater length than that used in normal Installations. In the event of extra costs, we will inform you before works commence. However, if no reply is forthcoming and/or no agreement is reached within thirty (30) days thereafter, we will consider that you no longer require the Service, and the Agreement will be automatically terminated.

7.7. If you request some apparatus or facility which we do not normally provide and for which
no Charges are established in the Price List, we will establish such Charges as we consider reasonable and appropriate in each case.

7.8.

In establishing this Charge we will take into account all extra costs which we have incurred on the work performed outside normal working hours.

8. Your Duty of Care

8.1. You are bound to take good care of the Installation provided and maintained by us, and you will be responsible for the safety of all parts thereof as are in or on your premises and, if any part thereof is lost, stolen or destroyed or is otherwise missing or is damaged otherwise than through fair wear and tear, you must pay in respect of the replacement or repair thereof such sum as we may determine but which will not exceed the actual cost of the new part at the time of the replacement or of the repair, as the case may be, and the cost of labour and material required.

8.2. In addition to our right under the preceding paragraph, we reserve the right to take any other action we deem fit in order to protect our rights and property.

9. Your Duties in relation to private equipment

9.1. You are responsible to ensure that your equipment conforms with the relevant laws, regulations and standards approved by the competent authorities.

9.2. Your failure to abide by the conditions laid down in this Clause, will entitle us to suspend the Service until you have complied with these conditions.

10. Limitations on the use of the Service

reasonable and appropriate in each case.

11.4. For the purposes of this Clause, you agree that our records shall be sufficient and conclusive proof of the date/s on which the Installation was made and/or completed.

11.5. Rent shall continue to be payable notwithstanding any interruption or suspension or restriction of the Service, irrespective of the cause, and you are never entitled to any refund of any rent paid or to any remission of rent in case of such interruption or suspension or restriction of the Service.

12. Charges for Business and Residential Rents

12.1. You must use the Service solely for the purposes stated in your Application, namely for the transmission and reception of electronic communications for residential or business purposes, as applicable.

12.2. Two different rates of rents are payable for Exchange Lines, namely the business rate and the residential rate, as may be applicable and as specified in the Price List.

12.3. The business rate shall apply –

12.3.1. where the premises in which the Service or any extension is installed is used otherwise than for residential purposes; 12.3.2. where the telephone number is used on business stationery, literature, advertisements and/or communications.

12.4. Nevertheless, if the Service is installed in your ordinary residence, you may ask us in writing to allow you to use the telephone number of your ordinary residence in business stationery, literature, advertisements and/or communications in connection with a business activity being carried out by you. The Charge for the said concession is that prescribed in the Price List. You are only eligible to make a request under this paragraph if your ordinary residence is not the sole or main place from which you carry out your business.

12.5. The residential rate shall apply where your premises are wholly used for residential purposes and are not connected by an extension with any other premises which are used or are likely to be used otherwise than for residential purposes.

12.6. Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous paragraph, if you lease the premises in which the Service or extension is installed and, saving any other provision of this Agreement, you retain the Service in your own name, the business rate shall then apply.

12.7. We may also in our sole discretion apply the residential rate in the case of Subscribers who are institutions, associations or organisations of a purely social welfare, benevolent or charitable nature, and provided such institutions, associations and organisations are also listed as tax exempt institutions in Legal Notice 182 of 1991, issued under the Income Tax Act 1949 (Cap. 123 of the Laws of Malta), as such legal notice may be amended from time to time.

12.8. Where, in consideration of a change in circumstances, an Exchange Line which is charged the residential rate of rent requires to be charged the business rate of rent, or vice versa, in accordance with the previous paragraphs of this Clause, you must immediately notify us in writing and make the required arrangements as may be requested. Moreover, if you wish to change an Exchange Line which is charged the business rate of rent to an Exchange Line which is charged the residential rate of rent, you are also required to confirm on oath by means of an affidavit that the premises in which the Service is installed is now wholly used for residential purposes and/or is no longer connected by an extension with any other premises which are
used or are likely to be used otherwise than for residential purposes.

12.9. If you are in breach of the provisions of this Clause, we reserve the right to disconnect the Service without notice.

14.1. We will normally send a telephone bill and a statement of your account on a regular basis, at every month or two months. Your bill will include:

14.1.1. Charges for calls effected during a specified period bundled together and separated into different categories depending on the type of calls being made;

14.1.2. Rent Charges for your telephone line covering an indicated period;

14.1.3. Charges for any works performed in relation to your Installation upon your request such as connection Charges, if any;

14.1.4. Charges for any additional facilities or services provided on your Installation upon your request, such as the provision of Star Services.

14.2. You may also opt to receive your bill only through My GO. In this case you will receive an e-mail informing you that the bill is available for access through your My GO service. Thus instead of receiving the bill in the conventional manner, that is, by post, you will be accessing your bill through My GO.

14.3. Calls which are free of charge, including calls to help lines, but excluding the free pulses contemplated in the Price List, are not identified in your bill.

14.4. If you pay your bill within the time-limit stipulated in any bill or notice you may be entitled to a discount on the bill as stipulated in the same Price List.

14.5. You may request an up-to-date bill whenever the need arises, free of charge. This provisional bill covers all Charges, including rent. The information provided in the provisional bill is subject to correction.

14.6. You can also request an itemised telephone bill, listing the different types of calls which have been made, and indicating the date and number called, the time, duration and Charge of
each call.

14.7. In order to receive such itemised telephone bill free of charge, you can choose one of the following methods:

14.7.1. You may subscribe to our My GO! service, which enables you access to download your itemised bills through the internet;

15. Method of Payment of Bills

15.1. We reserve the right to establish the method of payment of bills from time to time. The method of payment shall be stated in the bill.

15.2. When allowed as a method of payment in the bill, all cheques must be made payable to GO plc

16. Telephone Billing Enquiries

16.1. If there is anything you do not understand or you wish to dispute in your bill you should first contact our Billing Enquiries Section on 8007 2121 during normal business hours. Always have the bill and the telephone number about which you are enquiring at hand.

16.2. If you are questioning the bill or any part thereof, the relevant entries in the bill will be re-checked with our official billing records. If any errors are found, these will be corrected accordingly; otherwise you will be requested to pay your bill as issued after we provide you with any necessary explanations in regard to its contents.

16.3. Enquiries concerning Billing contestations and payment programmes are to be made by phoning on 8007 2121.

16.4. If you are still not satisfied, you will be offered the option of lodging a contestation. You are allowed to contest the latest telephone bill issued and the contestation must be recorded with us within fifteen (15) days from the date of the postmark on the same bill.

16.5. As far as possible we will try to settle all billing contestations by the cycle of telephone bills subsequent to that relating to the contested bill.

17. Default in Payment of Telephone Bills

17.1. Bills should be paid within the time prescribed therein.

Call or visit our customer care representative at your nearest GO branch to effect payment.

17.2. Failure on your part to pay any amount due to us within the time given in any bill or notice, will entitle us to levy an additional Charge for late payment in the first bill which shows arrears, as stipulated in the Price List. Interest at the maximum rate allowed by law, currently eight percent (8%) per annum, will commence to run and accrue against you on the arrears
indicated in the bill or any balance thereof, if payment is not effected by the tenth (10th) day following the last day on which payment should have been made as prescribed on the bill that shows arrears. Interest will continue to run and accrue on arrears until payment is effected.

17.3. If payment is still not effected, we will restrict, disconnect and eventually remove your Service. Prior to suspension and/or termination of the Service, GO shall endeavour to notify the Subscriber. This notwithstanding, in the event of persistent non-payment for the Service, GO reserves the right to disconnect the Service without notice.

17.4. Failure on your part to pay any amount due within the time given in any bill or notice may also entail the disconnection and removal of any other Service registered in your name.

17.5. Failure on your part to pay any amount due to us within the time given in any bill or notice, will entitle us, in our sole discretion, to give your details to one or more credit reference agencies, their members and any third party to whom GO is obliged or authorised to transfer such credit-related data by or under any law.

17.6. If you are questioning the bill and we are still investigating, and provided you have paid us the amount of your bill which is not in dispute, we will not disconnect your Service, or divulge your details to any credit reference agency, its members or other legally authorised third party, before you are notified of our conclusion on the issue and you subsequently fail to pay any such amount due.

18. Reconnecting your Service

18.1. Where the Service is disconnected owing to a breach by you of these Conditions, reconnection shall not be made before you regularise your position in accordance with these Conditions and fulfill your obligations hereunder, including your obligation to pay the relative Charge for reconnection as is prescribed in the Price List.

19. Special Schemes

19.1. Nothing contained in these Conditions shall prevent us from introducing from time to time, and under such terms and conditions as we may consider appropriate, any special incentive schemes, including any discount schemes to incentive increased use of the Service or to encourage early settlement of the relative bills, or any other special schemes for any reason which we deem opportune and, in a like manner, nothing shall prevent us from withdrawing any such scheme or amending any of the terms and conditions thereof at any time that this may be considered necessary or expedient.

20. Our rights in certain cases

20.1. Saving any other power or right, we may, after giving you notice:

20.1.1. disconnect any Installation from one Telephone Exchange and connect it with any other Telephone Exchange;

reasonable times, to enter your premises or any other premises to which the Installation may be connected, for the purpose of constructing, inspecting, maintaining, altering or removing the Installation or any part thereof, and to have access at all reasonable times to all such parts of the Installation as may be in or on your premises or in any other premises previously referred to.

21. Subcontracting and Assignment by Us

21.1. We may in our discretion sub-contract our rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any subsidiary, associated and/or related company of ours. This will not affect our liability towards you.

21.2. If we need to assign our rights or obligations under this Agreement we shall notify you in writing and you agree that your failure to object to such assignment by writing to us within three (3) Working Days from receipt of our notification shall constitute your consent to such assignment.

23. Faults in the Installation provided by Us or in our Network

23.2. We will not investigate faults which are not reported by using either of the methods stipulated in the previous paragraph.

23.3. Before reporting any fault, you must ascertain that the fault does not originate from your private equipment and/or privately installed internal wiring. If you fail to do so, and after we investigate the fault it results that the fault originates from your private equipment and/or privately installed internal wiring, you must pay for all expenses we would have incurred (including work done and visits).

23.4. Fault repairs are normally carried out on Working Days and during normal working hours.

23.5. If you ask us to carry out work to remedy any fault in a Service outside normal working hours, and we accept to do so, you must pay a Charge established by us which covers all extra costs incurred on the actual work performed outside normal working hours.

23.6. When a fault is reported, we will try to establish the location of the fault by testing the line from the Telephone Exchange to your premises. If the cause for the fault is beyond our control, we will inform you on your contact number or by mail. Major faults affecting large areas will be publicised in the media.

23.7. Faults in our wiring, cabling or other equipment and installed in your premises may require a technician’s visit, in which case we will endeavour to visit you at mutually convenient times.

23.8. Although we will try to respond to a fault report within the given time scales, matters beyond our control may prevent us from actually correcting the fault within that period.

23.9. Occasionally, faults or disruption of a Service may result from matters beyond our control. Although we will try to repair such disruptions as quickly as possible, faults arising from matters beyond our control are not entitled to claim compensation.

23.10. You are also not entitled to claim compensation:

23.10.1. if we are hampered from repairing the fault as a result of extensive damage to our Public Switched Telephone Network caused by factors outside our control such as abnormal adverse weather conditions;

23.10.2. if you can still make and receive calls on your line in spite of the fault;

23.10.3. if our equipment and/or wiring has been tampered with.

23.11. Our fault repair guarantee covers only our Public Switched Telephone Network up to the master socket and extensions included in the rent of your telephone line.

23.12. Faults arising in any private equipment and/or privately installed internal wiring will have to be rectified by yourself or by third parties acting on your behalf and at your expense.

23.13. We will not clear any fault in the wiring or the terminal equipment not owned by us.

In case of full service unavailability of GO’s Network for reasons not attributable to Force Majeure, the Subscriber and/or other third parties, a maximum repair time of 4 Working Days applies from date fault is reported and subject that customer accepts the first available appointment.

23.16 These timelines do not apply to any damages and/or faults to the Subscriber’s Equipment. The Subscriber agrees to adhere to any reasonable instructions issued by GO in order to facilitate Service restoration. Where such instructions are not adhered to, the Subscriber acknowledges that GO may not be able to adhere to these timelines.

24. Our Liability

24.1. We will not be liable towards you if we cannot meet any of our obligations under these Conditions because of force majeure, that is because of something beyond our control such as lightning, flood or exceptionally severe weather, fire or explosion, war, or military operations, national or local emergency, anything done by government or other competent authority or industrial disputes of any kind (including those involving our employees), acts or omissions of persons or bodies for whom we are not responsible and any cause originating from you as a Subscriber or because of any other thing beyond our control.
