    1. To order our Services you must:

        1. a valid UK mobile phone number;

        8. your credit or debit card details in order that we may complete a security check.
    2. The Services account holder must also be the direct debit account holder. You therefore warrant that you are a resident at the installation address and the owner of the account used for the direct debit. If you are not the landline account holder, you also warrant that you have the permission of the landline account holder to contract for the Services. You are responsible for any use of the Services via your account and the payment of all Charges. In the case of Business customers taking any package made available to Businesses, You warrant that your business is operated from the installation address. You also warrant that you are the landline account holder, or have the permission of the landline account holder to contract for the Services. You are responsible for any use of the Services via your account and the payment of all Charges
    3. You agree that we, or third parties acting on our behalf, may carry out credit checks using the information that you provide.
    4. By placing your order you are making an offer to enter into a contract with us for the purchase of the relevant Service from us under the Terms. We will contact you if we accept your offer. We may exercise our discretion, acting reasonably, to refuse to provide any part of the Services to you.
    5. You need to sign up for an O2 online account on www.o2.co.uk with a user name and password at the time of placing your order. If you have an existing www.o2.co.uk account, you may also be required to sign up to and maintain a new account in order to place an order for the Services. You will need to accept the terms and conditions of use of the O2 online account when you sign up for the account. If you are an existing O2 customer you may not be able to use your existing O2 online account. You will be advised of this at the time of signing up for the Services.
    6. We or our agents may record or monitor some telephone calls, emails and any other communications between you and us (or our agents) for training and quality control and our lawful business purposes.
  4.  

  5. What equipment do we provide?

    1. After accepting your order, we will send you the Equipment to your delivery address. The Equipment remains our property and you must take good care of the Equipment while it is leased to you for as long as you continue to receive the Services.
    2. If your O2 Wireless Box is faulty, you must notify us immediately and we will repair or replace it at no cost, providing the fault is not caused by your abuse or negligence. If the fault is caused by your abuse or negligence:
      1. we may charge you the reasonable costs of any repair or replacement; and
      2. you will not be credited for Charges incurred during the period in which the O2 Wireless Box is not operational.
    3. You are only permitted to use the Equipment to connect to our network, or a network approved by us. We cannot support any other equipment used to connect to the Services.
    4. In order to connect to the Services, we may require you install certain software on your computer. If you do not install this software, we may not be able to resolve any installation or connection problems you may experience and we are not responsible to you in relation to any matter that arises as a result of your failure to do so.
    5. Certain elements of the Services are dependent on you having suitable infrastructure available and/or using the correct Software and/or Equipment. In the event that you are unable to provide suitable infrastructure, or fail to use the correct Software and Equipment, then some of the Services may not function correctly, or be able to be supplied to you ("the Affected Services") and O2 shall have no liability for your inability to receive the Affected Services.
    6. Upon termination of your contract, you must return the Equipment in the prepaid returns envelope provided to you and take it to the post office. We must receive the Equipment within 30 days of the termination date. If we do not receive the Equipment within that timeframe your payment card will be charged or your bank account will be debited a fee of £50. If you keep any Equipment after we stop providing Services, it is supplied to you 'as is', without warranty and we are not able to support it.
    7. All Equipment, content, software or other copyright material we supply to you is for your own personal use, and you must not copy, change or publish the material or supply it to any other person for any business purposes. Similarly the Services are for your personal use and you shall not resell the Services.
  6.  

  7. Will you get a static IP address?

    You will receive a dynamic IP address unless you choose to pay monthly in advance for the static IP option. If you have a static IP address, it will be re-assigned to us or to another customer if your Services are disconnected or terminated for any reason.

  8.  

  9. How do you get connected?

    1. You must have a computer with a minimum specification (Windows XP or Windows Vista). You can view these in online help at Broadband help.
    2. You agree to provide any reasonable cooperation and assistance that may be required to get you connected.
    3. When connecting your landline to the Services, there may be a temporary loss of telephone services or other telecommunications services. We will try to keep this disruption to a minimum but will not be responsible for any resulting damage, loss or costs caused, unless caused by our negligence.
    4. The actual speed of your broadband connection under your package will depend on your telephone line. The actual throughput speed that you receive is likely to be lower than the estimated access line speed given to you before your purchase and the headline 'up to' speeds featured in our advertising. Your actual speeds will be influenced by a large number of factors including for example, the distance of your premises from the BT exchange, the quality of your copper line and environmental line noise will all impact your actual speeds, so we cannot guarantee that your connection will reach any specific speeds.
    5. Your actual connection speed may also be influenced by any traffic shaping or management policies which we may have in place from time to time. If such a policy is in place, details of it will be available on our website at o2.co.uk/broadband.
    6. While you're connected to our network, you'll need to remain with the landline provider with which you originally took up the Services. If you change your landline provider, or your landline is disconnected or suspended for any reason you may not be able to continue receiving our Services, and the termination provisions in clause 7 will apply.
  10.  

  11. Termination before Services connection

    1. On the Contract Date, we will charge you a one-off connection fee of £15 (if relevant), a pro-rated amount of the recurring Charges until the end of the month (if relevant) and the next month's recurring Charges in advance.
    2. We may terminate your contract after the Contract Date but before the Services are connected if we're not able to provide the Services to your premises for any reason (other than as a result of your own act or omission). Any Charges you have paid will be refunded to you as a credit to the payment card or your bank account.
    3. In the unlikely event that we send you an email confirming a connection date, but do not actually connect your Service for more than one (1) month after this confirmed connection date (other than as a result of your own act or omission), you are entitled to terminate your contract with us by sending a cancellation notice in writing, notwithstanding clause 7.4. Any Charges you have paid will be refunded to you as a credit to the payment card or your bank account.
  12.  

  13. What is the contract period and how does it end?

    1. Your contract starts on the Contract Date, and the Services start on the Services Connection Date.. The Services Connection Date will be notified to you via your nominated email address and mobile phone number.
    2. After the Minimum Term you will continue to receive the Services until either you or we end your contract in accordance with this clause 7.
    3. You may terminate your contract within the first 14 days after the Services Connection Date (the "Cooling Off Period") by giving us written notice, to be received by us no later than the 14th day after the Services Connection Date. You will receive a refund of all connection and subscription Charges incurred by you during the Cooling Off Period. If you terminate your contract during the Cooling Off Period, you may not be able to request the Services at the same installation address for 6 months after the end of the Cooling Off Period.
    4. After the Cooling Off Period, you may terminate your contract:
      1. by sending us 30 days notice in writing via the O2 Broadband customer service email address given on the Contact Us page of www.o2.co.uk/help/broadband or to the postal address: O2 Broadband Customer Service, Skypark 4, 8 Elliott Place, Glasgow, G3 8EP. You must pay all Charges incurred during the 30 days. If termination is effective within any Minimum Term, you must pay us the monthly subscription charges up to the end of that Minimum Term. This does not apply if you end the Agreement for the reasons in paragraph 7.4 (c); or
      2. by paying an express cancellation fee of £15 and all Charges that would have been incurred during the usual 30 day notice period. If termination is effective within any Minimum Term, you must pay us the monthly subscription charges up to the end of that Minimum Term. This does not apply if you end the Agreement for the reasons in paragraph 7.4 (c). Service will be terminated usually within four (4) days after receipt of your express cancellation notice in writing; or
      3. if we increase the Charges or change the Terms to your significant disadvantage (other than where such increases in Charges or change to the Terms arise as a consequence of a change in prices, tariffs, terms or otherwise made or requested by third party manufacturers or suppliers, or a regulatory body), by giving us 30 days' written notice within 30 days of us informing you of the changes. You must pay all Charges incurred during the 30 days notice period. However, if termination is effective within the Minimum Term, you will not be charged the monthly subscription charges up to the end of that Minimum Term. This clause 7.4 (c) does not apply where the increase or change relates solely to Additional Services in which case you may cancel, or stop using, that Additional Service.
    5. We may terminate your contract or suspend all or part of the Services if:
      1. we have not been able to take payment, by the due date, any money you owe us;
      2. we reasonably believe that you or others (whether under your control or not) are misusing the Services (see our 'Fair and Acceptable Usage Policy');
      3. you otherwise breach the Terms;
      4. you are persistently abusive or make threats, repeatedly cause a nuisance or annoyance or otherwise act illegally towards our staff or our property or that of our agents;
      5. you allow to be done anything which in O2's reasonable opinion may have the effect of jeopardising the operation of the Services, or the Services are being used in a manner prejudicial to the interest of the Customer, other customers and/or O2; or
      6. we are no longer able to provide you with the Services.
    6. Either you or we may terminate your contract by giving thirty (30) days' written notice to the other if:
      1. there has been a material breach of the Terms or any other agreement between us by the other party (and this isn't corrected within thirty (30) days of a written notice notifying the breach);
      2. an event, outside O2's reasonable control, prevents us from providing the Services for more than thirty (30) days; or
      3. we go into liquidation or a Receiver is appointed over our assets
    7. Your request for a MAC key is not deemed to be your notice of termination. However, if the MAC key is used by another broadband provider and if you do not provide notice under clause 7.4, the date that the MAC key was used will be taken to be the date that we received your notice of termination under clause 7.4(a).
    8. If we suspend your Services pursuant to clauses 7.5(a), 7.5(b), 7.5(c) 7.5(d) or 7.5(e), then you will be liable for the Charges during such suspension. If we suspend your Services for any other reason, you will not be liable for the Charges during such suspension.
    9. If we terminate your Services pursuant to clauses 7.5(a), 7.5(b), 7.5(c), 7.5(d) or 7.6(a), then we will be entitled to charge you for the Charges which would have been payable to us as if you had terminated in accordance with clause 7.4(a).
    10. If you terminate the Services pursuant to clause 7.6(b), all recurring Charges for the period of downtime will be refunded as a credit to the payment card or your bank account.

You are responsible for paying the fees as laid out on the website www.o2.co.uk (which are subject to change), VAT and any other tax liability that apply to the Services, costs incurred in collecting late payments from you. You are responsible for the Charges whether incurred by you or anyone else using your account (with or without your knowledge). If your Charges include a discount (for example, for O2 mobile customers) then this is limited to one discount per person and one discount per broadband connection.
    2. The Charges are payable from the Services Connection Date. Recurring Charges will be collected in advance (calculated pro rata if incurred for periods of less than a month), while one-off fees will be collected in arrears.
    3. We do not charge you for calling customer service if you call from a landline or an O2 mobile in the UK (call charges may be incurred from other networks).

You authorize your bank to disclose to us, and under strict obligations of confidentiality, to our subcontractors and agents, details about your bank account in so far as is necessary in connection with your agreement with us and to inform us if your Direct Debit Authority is terminated at any time. If a direct debit payment fails, you must immediately arrange for the Charges to be paid by other means and we may also contact you to take payment. You may also be liable to pay interest under clause 8.5. If we cannot contact you after a failed direct debit payment, we may suspend or terminate the Services and this Agreement under clause 7.5(a) without further notice.
    5. All invoices will be issued and stored in your O2 online account and will specify the date on which each payment is due. We will notify you at your nominated email address or mobile phone number when:

    7. All amounts due to us shall be paid in full (without deduction or withholding except as required by law) and you shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against us in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.
    8. The Charges are inclusive of Value Added Tax which will be charged at the prevailing rate, where applicable.
  16.  

  17. Switching your broadband package

    1. We will advise you if it is possible to switch to another O2 Home Broadband package or tariff. Please contact us via your O2 online account or through customer service.

  18.  

  19. Service speed and interruptions

You will be entitled to the quality of service generally provided by a competent broadband service provider exercising reasonable care and skill.We may need to make changes to our network or the technical specification of a Service or may need to suspend provision of the Services for operational or technical reasons. We will use all reasonable endeavours to notify you in advance of such changes or suspension if it materially affects your Services.
    2. If you experience a total loss of Service directly caused by us (except where you have requested that the Services are moved to a new premises in accordance with clause 11) for more than five (5) consecutive days, you'll be compensated for each day's disruption (including the first five (5) days) by a credit towards your recurring charges for those days. In order to receive this credit, you will need to notify us as soon as the Service failure occurs and request the appropriate credit by contacting customer service when your Service is restored. The credit will be shown on your next, or subsequent invoice depending upon where within the billing cycle the credit is requested.
  20.  

  21. What happens if you move?

    1. If your new address is in an area that's covered by the Services, the Services can be moved to your new address, provided you give us written notice, to be received by us at least 7 days before the expected moving date. There will be some downtime between disconnection from your old address and reconnection at your new address and you will not be refunded any Charges for that period of downtime unless you terminate your the Services pursuant to clause 7.6(b).
    2. We will only move the Services to another address for free once in any 12 month period. Additional moves will incur a charge of £50 per move.

    3. We are not liable to pay damages if anyone else, other than you or us with your permission:
      1. gains access to your connection to the Services, your computer and other related equipment; or
      2. gains access to, destroys or distorts any data or information held by you or about you by us.
    4. We are not responsible for any goods or services supplied in a separate agreement with another supplier, even if access to these goods or services is through our network.

    6. In the case of Business customers, except as set out in clause 12 and this clause 13 and except for the requirements for you to pay all Charges owing to us under this contract, and subject to Clause 13.7, each party's aggregate liability to the other party with respect to this contract for any claims arising in any calendar year (whether in contract, tort, arising as a result of negligence or breach of statutory duty or otherwise) shall not exceed the greater of: (i) £50,000; or (ii) 100% of the Charges due in that calendar year.'
    7. We have no liability other than the duty to exercise the reasonable skill and care of a competent broadband service provider.

  26.  

  27. How do we use your Data?

    1. You agree that we may search the files of credit reference agencies which will keep a record of that search. We may also carry out identity and anti-fraud checks with fraud prevention agencies. We and other organisations may access and use from other countries the information recorded by fraud prevention agencies. If you give us false or inaccurate information and we identify or suspect fraud, we will record this. Details of how you conduct your account may also be disclosed to those agencies, law enforcement agencies and other telecommunications companies. The information may be used by us and other parties in assessing applications for and making decisions about credit, credit-related services or other facilities and insurance (including motor, household credit, life and other insurances and claims) from you and members of your household and for debt tracing, debt recovery, credit management and crime, fraud and money laundering detection and prevention. Information may be used by us and other parties for checking your identity, checking details of job applicants and employees, statistical analysis about credit, insurance, fraud and to manage your account and insurance policies. We may also perform subsequent searches for the purpose of risk assessment, debt collection and fraud prevention with one or more credit reference agencies and/or fraud prevention agencies whilst you retain a financial obligation to us.
    2. Information held about you by credit reference agencies may be linked to records relating to your financial associate(s). For the purposes of this application you declare that you and your financial associate(s) are financially independent and you request that your application be assessed without reference to any 'associated' records, although you recognise that this may adversely affect the outcome of your application. You believe that there is no information relating to your financial associates that is likely to affect our willingness to offer the Services to you. You authorise us to check the validity of this declaration with credit reference agencies and if we discover any associated records, which would affect the accuracy of this declaration we may decide not to proceed with the application on this basis. For the purpose of this paragraph a 'financial associate' is someone with whom you have a financial link, for example, a spouse, partner or family member.
    3. You authorise us to use and disclose, in the UK and abroad, information about you and your use of the Services including, but not limited to, how you conduct your account for the purposes of operating your account and providing you with the Services, for credit control purposes, for fraud and crime detection and prevention and the investigation and prevention of civil offences or as required for reasons of national security or under law to our associated companies, partners or agents, any telecommunications company, debt collection agency and fraud prevention agency or governmental agency and other users of these agencies who may use this information for the same purpose as us. You can obtain further details from O2's Privacy Policy and from our public registration held by the Information Commissioner. If you wish to have details of the fraud prevention agencies from whom we obtain and with whom we record information about you or receive a copy (we will charge a fee) of the information we hold about you, please contact us by writing to the Data Controller at Telefónica O2 UK Limited, 260 Bath Road, Slough, SL1 4DX or, if you have eCare, at mycare@o2mail.co.uk, stating your full name, address, account number and Mobile Phone number.

O2 Home Broadband Standard terms & conditions for customers Pre 17/12/08

The following terms (the “Core Terms”) apply to both Consumer Customers and Business Customers, except to the extent that these terms are varied for Business Customers as detailed in Annex 1 – Business Customer Terms, which Annex shall take precedence over the Core Terms.

In these terms: the expression:

“Business Customer“ means a customer who connects to the Service for business use; and “Consumer Customer“ means a customer who connects to the Service for their own personal private use and not for business use; and “Customer” shall mean a Business Customer or a Consumer Customer as applicable.

These terms and conditions, the Fair and Acceptable Usage Policy, any applicable Charges, the O2 Privacy Policy, the O2 Consumer Code of Conduct and any other terms specified by us, as amended from time to time (together the “Terms”) set out the basis on which Telefónica O2 UK Limited (Company no. 1743099) of 260 Bath Road, Slough, Berkshire SL1 4DX (“O2, we, us, our”) will provide goods and services to the customer with whom we make this agreement or a person who we reasonably believe is acting with the customer’s authority (“You, your”).

“End-User Licensed Software” means any software, the licence terms for which are governed by a separate agreement with the licensor of such software typically by means of a “click-wrap” or “shrink-wrap” licence agreement.

“Services” includes our broadband internet connection and access, Equipment lease services, IP address services, maintenance and support services, and such other services as are agreed in your order or as we may agree to provide you from time to time.

 

1 What is the effect of the terms and conditions?

1.1. You agree to be bound by the terms by ticking the box next to ‘I accept the Terms and Conditions’ on our website; by your use of the Services or by allowing others to use the Services. You must ensure that any others using the Services via your account also comply with the Terms.

1.2. If you are a consumer customer, the Terms set out the express terms on which we agree to provide the Services but nothing in the Terms will affect your statutory rights.

 

2 How do you order our Services?

2.1. To order our Services you must:

2.1.1 be over 18;

2.1.2 be a resident of the UK;

2.1.3 if your Contract Date is before 5 March 2008, be the account holder or have the permission of the account holder of a UK credit or debit card (with a UK billing address) with sufficient credit or funds to pay the Charges. We do not accept American Express of Diners Club;

2.1.4 if your Contract Date is on or after 5 March 2008, pay the Charges by Direct Debit. Accordingly, you must be the account holder of a UK bank account (with a UK account address) with sufficient funds and the requisite authority to pay the Charges using Direct Debit;

2.1.5 provide the following information:

(a) a valid UK mobile phone number;

(b) a current email address;

(c) a clear and operational landline number (except if provided by Talk Talk, Bulldog, Kingston Communications or the landline is a cable landline);

(d) the Migration Authorisation Code (“MAC”) key if another Internet Service Provider is already providing you with a broadband service and you are switching to us;

(e) a delivery address for the delivery of the Equipment;

(f) the installation address for the connection of the Services;

(g) your Direct Debit details to pay the Charges, with the account name and a UK billing address. If your Contract Date is before 5 March 2008 you may continue to pay by alternate means of credit or debit card or may transfer to Direct Debit; and

(h) your credit or debit card details in order that we may complete a security check. Please note that, as set out above, these cannot be used for payment for the Services if your Contract Date is on or after 5 March 2008.

2.2. The Services account holder must also be the Direct Debit account holder. You therefore warrant that you are a resident at the installation address and the owner of the account used for the Direct Debit. If you are not the landline account holder, you also warrant that you have the permission of the landline account holder to contract for the Services. You are responsible for any use of the Services via your account and the payment of all Charges.

2.3. You agree that we, or third parties acting on our behalf, may carry out credit checks using the information that you provide.

2.4. By placing your order you are making an offer to enter into a contract with us for the purchase of the relevant Service from us under the Terms. We will contact you if we accept your offer. We may exercise our discretion to refuse to provide any part of the Services to you.

2.5. You need to sign up for an O2 online account on o2.co.uk with a user name and password at the time of placing your order. If you have an existing o2.co.uk account, you may also be required to sign up to and maintain a new account in order to place an order for the Services. You will need to accept the terms and conditions of use of the O2 online account when you sign up for the account. If you are an existing O2 customer you may not be able to use your existing O2 online account. You will be advised of this at the time of signing up for the Services.

 

3 What equipment do we provide?

3.1. After accepting your order, we will send you the O2 Broadband Pack, including a wireless modem, cables and filter(s) and the set up CD (together the “Equipment”) to your delivery address. The Equipment remains our property and you must take good care of the Equipment while it is leased to you for as long as you continue to receive the Services.

3.2. If your modem is faulty, you must notify us immediately and we will repair or replace it at no cost, providing the fault is not caused by your abuse or negligence. If the fault is caused by your abuse or negligence:

(a) we may charge you the reasonable costs of any repair or replacement; and

(b) you will not be credited for Charges incurred during the period in which the modem is not operational.

3.3. You are only permitted to use the Equipment to connect to our network, or a network approved by us. We cannot support any other equipment used to connect to the Services.

3.4. In order to connect to the Services, we may require you to install certain software on your computer. If you do not install this software, we may not be able to resolve any installation or connection problems you may experience and we are not responsible to you in relation to any matter that arises as a result of your failure to do so.

3.5. Certain elements of the Services are dependent on you having suitable infrastructure available and/or using the correct Software and/or Equipment. In the event that you are unable to provide suitable infrastructure, or fail to use the correct Software and Equipment, then some of the Services may not function correctly, or be able to be supplied to you (“the Affected Services”) and O2 shall have no liability for your inability to receive the Affected Services.

3.6. Upon termination of your contract, you must return the Equipment in the prepaid returns envelope provided to you and take it to the post office. We must receive the Equipment within thirty (30) days of the termination date. If we do not receive the Equipment within that timeframe your payment card will be charged or your bank account will debited a fee of £50. If you keep any Equipment after we stop providing Services, it is supplied to you ‘as is’, without warranty and we are not able to support it.

3.7. All Equipment, content, software or other copyright material we supply to you is for your own use, and you must not copy, change or publish the material or supply it to any other person for any business purposes. Similarly the Service is for the Customer’s use and the Customer shall not resell the Service.

 

4 Will you get a static IP address?

You will receive a dynamic IP address unless you choose to pay monthly in advance for the static IP option. If you have a static IP address, the IP address will be re-assigned to us or to another customer if your Services are disconnected or terminated for any reason.

 

5 How do you get connected?

5.1. You must have a computer with a minimum specification (Windows XP or Windows Vista). You can view these in online help at o2.co.uk/help/broadband

5.2. You agree to provide any reasonable co-operation and assistance that may be required to get you connected.

5.3. When connecting your landline to the Services, there may be a temporary loss of telephone services or other telecommunications services. We will try to keep this disruption to a minimum but will not be responsible for any resulting damage, loss or costs caused.

5.4. The actual speed of your broadband connection under your package will depend on your line (for example, the distance of your premises from the BT exchange, the quality of your copper line, and environmental line noise will all impact your actual speeds), so we cannot guarantee that your connection will reach any specific speeds.

5.5. While you’re connected to our network, you’ll need to remain with the landline provider with which you originally took up the Services. If you change your landline provider, or your landline is disconnected or suspended for any reason you may not be able to continue receiving our Services, and the termination provisions in clause 7 will apply.

 

6 Termination before Services connection

6.1. Your contract for the purchase of the Services begins on the day we dispatch the Equipment to you (“Contract Date”). On the Contract Date, we will charge you a one-off connection fee of £15, a pro-rated amount of the Recurring Charges until the end of the month (if relevant) and the next month’s Recurring Charges in advance.

6.2. We may terminate your contract after the Contract Date but before the Services are connected if we’re not able to provide the Services to your premises for any reason (other than as a result of your own act or omission). Any Charges you have paid will be refunded to you as a credit to the payment card or your bank account.

6.3. In the unlikely event that we send you an email confirming a connection date, but do not actually connect your Service for more than one (1) month after this confirmed connection date (other than as a result of your own act or omission), you are entitled to terminate your contract with us by sending a cancellation notice in writing, notwithstanding clause 7.4. Any Charges you have paid will be refunded to you as a credit to the payment card or your bank account.

 

7 What is the contract period and how does it end?

7.1. Your contract starts on the Contract Date, and the Services start on the date that you have both received the Equipment and BT confirms that your Services are connected to your local BT exchange. The Services connection date (the “Services Connection Date”) will be notified to you via your nominated email address and mobile phone number.

7.3. You may terminate your contract within the first fourteen (14) days after the Services Connection Date (the “Cooling Off Period”) by giving us written notice, to be received by us no later than the 14th day after the Services Connection Date.

If you terminate your contract during the Cooling Off Period, you may not be able to request the Services at the same installation address for six (6) months after the end of the Cooling Off Period.

(b) by paying an express cancellation fee of £15 and all Charges that would have been incurred during the usual thirty (30) day notice period. If termination is effective within the Minimum Term, you will also have to pay a £50 early cancellation charge. Service will be terminated usually within four (4) days after receipt of your express cancellation notice in writing; or

(c) if we increase the Charges or change the Terms to your significant disadvantage, (other than where such increases in Charges or change to the Terms arise as a consequence of a change in prices, tariffs, terms or otherwise made or requested by third party manufacturers or suppliers, or a regulatory body), by giving us thirty (30) days’ written notice within thirty (30) days of us informing you of the changes.

You must pay all Charges incurred during the thirty (30) days’ notice period. However, if termination is effective within the Minimum Term, you will not be charged a £50 early cancellation charge.

7.5. We may terminate your contract or suspend all or part of the Services if:

7.6. Either you or we may terminate your contract by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other if:

(c) the other is unable to pay its debts (within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986); or becomes insolvent or bankrupt; or is subject to an order or a resolution for its liquidation, administration, winding-up or dissolution (otherwise than for the purposes of a solvent amalgamation or reconstruction); or makes an application to a court of competent jurisdiction for protection from its creditors generally; or has an administrative or other receiver, manager, trustee, liquidator, administrator or similar officer appointed over all or any substantial part of its assets; or enters into or proposes any composition or arrangement with its creditors generally; or is subject to any analogous event or proceeding in any applicable jurisdiction.

7.7. Your request for a MAC key is not deemed to be your notice of termination. However, if the MAC key is used by another broadband provider and if you do not provide notice under clause 7.4, the date that the MAC key was used will be taken to be the date that we received your notice of termination under clause 7.4(a).

7.8. If we suspend your Services pursuant to clauses 7.5(a), 7.5(b), 7.5(c) or 7.5(d), then you will be liable for the Charges during such suspension. If we suspend your Services for any other reason, you will not be liable for the Charges during such suspension.

7.9. If we terminate your Services pursuant to clauses 7.5(a), 7.5(b), 7.5(c), 7.5(d) or 7.6(a), then we will be entitled to charge you for the Charges which would have been payable to us as if you had terminated in accordance with clause 7.4(a).

You are responsible for paying the fees as laid out on the website o2.co.uk (which are subject to change), VAT, and any other tax liabilities that apply to the Services, and costs incurred in collecting late payments from you (the “Charges”). You are responsible for the Charges whether incurred by you or anyone else using your account (with or without your knowledge). If your Charges include a discount (for example, for O2 mobile customers) then this is limited to one discount per person and one discount per broadband connection.

8.2. The Charges are payable from the Services Connection Date. Recurring Charges will be collected in advance (calculated pro rata if incurred for periods of less than a month), while one-off fees will be collected in arrears.

8.3. We do not charge you for calling customer service if you call from a landline or an O2 mobile (call charges may be incurred from other networks).

8.4. If you are paying by a payment card (applicable to customers who signed up before 5 March 2008 and are paying by payment card), then you authorise the payment card company to disclose to us and, under strict obligations of confidentiality, to our subcontractors and agents, details about your payment card account in so far as is necessary in connection with your agreement with us and to inform us if your payment account is terminated or suspended at any time.

8.5. If you are paying by Direct Debit you will be required to provide your Direct Debit details (bank account number, sort code, name of bank, name of account holder). You authorise your bank to disclose to us, and under strict obligations of confidentiality, to our subcontractors and agents, details about your bank account in so far as is necessary in connection with your agreement with us and to inform us if your Direct Debit Authority is terminated at any time. If a Direct Debit payment fails, you must immediately arrange for the Charges to be paid by other means and we may also contact you to take payment. You may also be liable to pay interest under clause 8.7. If we cannot contact you after a failed Direct Debit payment, we may suspend or terminate the Services and this Agreement under clause 7.5(a) without further notice.

8.6. All invoices will be issued and stored in your O2 online account and will specify the date on which each payment is due. We will notify you at your nominated email address or mobile phone number when:

9 Switching your broadband package

9.1. You may switch your broadband package to another O2 broadband package no more than once a month by notifying us via your O2 online account or contacting customer service. You can only switch to a package supported by your landline. If you switch your package the actual speed may differ.

10 Service speed and interruptions

10.1. The actual speed of your broadband connection under your package will depend on your line (for example, the distance of your premises from the BT exchange, the quality of your copper line, the quality of the wiring within the premises, and environmental line noise will all impact your actual speeds), so we cannot guarantee that your connection will reach any specific speeds.

10.2. We do not warrant that the Services will be available at all times and fault-free. We may need to make changes to our network or the technical specification of a Service or may need to suspend provision of the Services for operational or technical reasons. We will use all reasonable endeavours to notify you in advance of such changes or suspension if it materially affects your Services.

10.3. If you experience a total loss of Service directly caused by us (except where you have requested that the Services are moved to a new premises in accordance with clause 11) for more than five (5) consecutive days, you’ll be compensated for each day’s disruption (including the first five (5) days) by a credit towards your recurring charges for those days. In order to receive this credit, you will need to notify us as soon as the Service failure occurs and request the appropriate credit by contacting customer service when your Service is restored. The credit will be shown on your next, or subsequent invoice depending upon where within the billing cycle the credit is requested.

 

11 What happens if you move?

11.1. If your new premises are in an area that’s covered by the Services, the Services can be moved to your new premises, provided you give us written notice, to be received by us at least seven (7) days before the expected moving date.

A multi-way adaptor should not be used; and

(g) ensure that all Equipment is used in accordance with any instructions issued by O2 or the manufacturer including ensuring that the Equipment is used only in situations where appropriate environmental conditions exist.

(b) claims for any damage to your tangible property, caused by the negligence or otherwise by any act or omission of ours, our employees, agents or subcontractors, whilst on your premises

13.7. You shall at all times be under a duty to mitigate any losses suffered by you.

13.9. Where the Customer accepts the terms of a licence in respect of any End-User Licensed Software, then those licence terms shall take precedence over any terms within this Agreement relating to End-User Licensed Software and shall exclusively comprise the Customer’s sole rights and remedies in respect of such End-User Licensed Software.

14.1. We will use your mobile phone number and email address to contact you for all purposes under the Terms, including to provide any marketing material related to the Services.

O2 Home Broadband discount for O2 mobile customers terms & conditions

1 The Home Broadband discount for O2 mobile customers terms are in addition to O2’s standard broadband terms and conditions for Business and/or Consumer customers (the “Terms”) for the Services, and terms which are not defined in these Home Broadband discount for O2 mobile customers terms will have the meaning set out in the Terms. If there is any inconsistency between the Home Broadband discount for O2 mobile customers terms and the Terms, the Home Broadband discount for O2 mobile customers terms will prevail.

2 The Home Broadband discount is available to eligible O2 Consumer and Business Pay Monthly and O2 Pay & Go customers (“O2 Mobile Customers”). If you are an O2 Mobile Customer when you sign up for Home Broadband, then the discount will be applied to your O2 Home Broadband Package at the time of you signing up for O2 Home Broadband, or, if you subsequently become an O2 Mobile Customer from the date you tell us you’ve become an O2 Mobile Customer.

3 Only one discounted Home Broadband connection is permitted per O2 Pay Monthly or Pay & Go customer. O2 reserves the right to withdraw or amend the O2 mobile discount at any time on reasonable notice.

4 Pay Monthly Customers

4.1 If you’re an O2 Pay Monthly customer and your O2 Pay Monthly contract is terminated for any reason or if you port to another mobile provider, you are no longer eligible for the Home Broadband discount and will automatically be charged the standard price for your O2 Home Broadband Package from the date of termination of your O2 Pay Monthly contract or porting to another mobile provider.

5 Pay & Go Customers - Minimum Top-Up Requirement

5.1 If you’re a Pay & Go customer and sign-up to a discounted O2 Home Broadband package you need to keep your O2 Pay & Go mobile active (i.e. able to make and receive calls) and satisfy a minimum top-up requirement to keep the discount after your first month of O2 Home Broadband.

5.2 The details of the minimum top-up requirements are:

The O2 Pay & Go mobile used to qualify for the discounted Home Broadband is topped-up by a total at least £10 in the three month period prior to each month’s Home Broadband top-up date (this will always be 3 days before your broadband bill date). This means that if you are due to receive your Home Broadband bill on 4th of each month, then you must make sure your Pay & Go mobile is topped up a total of at least £10 in the three months prior to the 1st of each month (your Home Broadband Top Up Date)

5.3 If you are unable to meet this top-up requirement you will be charged the standard price for your selected Broadband package. If you subsequently fulfil the top up requirements, you will be entitled to receive the discount again for the months in which you meet the top up requirement, but it will not be applied retrospectively to the months where you did not meet the top up requirement. O2 will use its reasonable endeavours to ensure you automatically receive the Home Broadband discount when applicable.

5.4 If you’re an O2 Pay & Go customer and Pay & Go mobile is terminated for any reason or if you port to another mobile provider, you are no longer eligible for the Home Broadband discount and will automatically be charged the standard price for your O2 Home Broadband Package from the date of termination of your Pay & Go mobile or porting to another mobile provider.

3.5. Certain elements of the Services are dependent on you having suitable infrastructure available and/or using the correct Software and/or Equipment. In the event that you are unable to provide suitable infrastructure, or fail to use the correct Software and Equipment, then some of the Services may not function correctly, or be able to be supplied to you (“the Affected Services”) and O2 shall have no liability for your inability to receive the Affected Services.

3.6. Upon termination of your contract, you must return the Equipment in the prepaid returns envelope provided to you and take it to the post office. We must receive the Equipment within thirty (30) days of the termination date. If we do not receive the Equipment within that timeframe your payment card will be charged or your bank account will debited a fee of £50. If you keep any Equipment after we stop providing Services, it is supplied to you ‘as is’, without warranty and we are not able to support it.

3.7. All Equipment, content, software or other copyright material we supply to you is for your own use, and you must not copy, change or publish the material or supply it to any other person for any business purposes. Similarly the Service is for the Customer’s use and the Customer shall not resell the Service.

 

4 Will you get a static IP address?

You will receive a dynamic IP address unless you choose to pay monthly in advance for the static IP option. If you have a static IP address, the IP address will be re-assigned to us or to another customer if your Services are disconnected or terminated for any reason.

 

5 How do you get connected?

5.1. You must have a computer with a minimum specification (Windows XP or Windows Vista). You can view these in online help at o2.co.uk/help/broadband

5.2. You agree to provide any reasonable co-operation and assistance that may be required to get you connected.

5.3. When connecting your landline to the Services, there may be a temporary loss of telephone services or other telecommunications services. We will try to keep this disruption to a minimum but will not be responsible for any resulting damage, loss or costs caused.

5.4. The actual speed of your broadband connection under your package will depend on your line (for example, the distance of your premises from the BT exchange, the quality of your copper line, and environmental line noise will all impact your actual speeds), so we cannot guarantee that your connection will reach any specific speeds.

5.5. While you’re connected to our network, you’ll need to remain with the landline provider with which you originally took up the Services. If you change your landline provider, or your landline is disconnected or suspended for any reason you may not be able to continue receiving our Services, and the termination provisions in clause 7 will apply.

 

6 Termination before Services connection

6.1. Your contract for the purchase of the Services begins on the day we dispatch the Equipment to you (“Contract Date”). On the Contract Date, we will charge you a one-off connection fee of £15, a pro-rated amount of the Recurring Charges until the end of the month (if relevant) and the next month’s Recurring Charges in advance.

6.2. We may terminate your contract after the Contract Date but before the Services are connected if we’re not able to provide the Services to your premises for any reason (other than as a result of your own act or omission). Any Charges you have paid will be refunded to you as a credit to the payment card or your bank account.

6.3. In the unlikely event that we send you an email confirming a connection date, but do not actually connect your Service for more than one (1) month after this confirmed connection date (other than as a result of your own act or omission), you are entitled to terminate your contract with us by sending a cancellation notice in writing, notwithstanding clause 7.4. Any Charges you have paid will be refunded to you as a credit to the payment card or your bank account.

 

7 What is the contract period and how does it end?

7.1. Your contract starts on the Contract Date, and the Services start on the date that you have both received the Equipment and BT confirms that your Services are connected to your local BT exchange. The Services connection date (the “Services Connection Date”) will be notified to you via your nominated email address and mobile phone number.

7.2. The minimum term of your contract is twelve (12) months from the Services Connection Date (the “Minimum Term”). After this Minimum Term you will continue to receive the Services until either you or we end your contract in accordance with this clause 7.

7.3. You may terminate your contract within the first fourteen (14) days after the Services Connection Date (the “Cooling Off Period”) by giving

us written notice, to be received by us no later than the 14th day after the Services Connection Date. You will receive a refund of all connection and subscription Charges incurred by you during the Cooling Off Period. If you terminate your contract during the Cooling Off Period, you may not be able to request the Services at the same installation address for six (6) months after the end of the Cooling Off Period.

7.4. After the Cooling Off Period, you may terminate your contract:

(a) by sending us thirty (30) days’ notice in writing via the O2 Broadband customer service email address given on the Contact Us page of o2.co.uk/help/broadband or to the postal address: O2 Broadband Customer Service, Skypark 4, 8 Elliott Place, Glasgow, G3 8EP.

You must pay all Charges incurred during the thirty (30) days. If termination is effective within the Minimum Term, you will also pay a £50 early cancellation charge; or

(b) by paying an express cancellation fee of £15 and all Charges that would have been incurred during the usual thirty (30) day notice period. If termination is effective within the Minimum Term, you will also have to pay a £50 early cancellation charge. Service will be terminated usually within four (4) days after receipt of your express cancellation notice in writing; or

(c) if we increase the Charges or change the Terms to your significant disadvantage, (other than where such increases in Charges or change to the Terms arise as a consequence of a change in prices, tariffs, terms or otherwise made or requested by third party manufacturers or suppliers, or a regulatory body), by giving us thirty (30) days’ written notice within thirty (30) days of us informing you of the changes.

You must pay all Charges incurred during the thirty (30) days’ notice period. However, if termination is effective within the Minimum Term, you will not be charged a £50 early cancellation charge.

7.5. We may terminate your contract or suspend all or part of the Services if:

(a) we have not been able to take payment, by the due date, of any money you owe us;

(b) we reasonably believe that you or others (whether under your control or not) are misusing the Services (see our ‘Fair and Acceptable Usage Policy’);

(c) you otherwise breach the Terms;

(d) you are persistently abusive or make threats or otherwise act illegally towards our staff or our property;

(e) you allow anything to be done which in O2’s reasonable opinion may have the effect of jeopardising the operation of the Services, or the Services are being used in a manner prejudicial to the interest of the Customer, other customers and/or O2; or

(f) we are no longer able to provide you with the Services.

7.6. Either you or we may terminate your contract by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other if:

(a) there has been a material breach of the Terms or any other agreement between us by the other party (and this isn’t remedied within thirty (30) days of a written notice notifying the breach);

(b) an event, outside O2’s reasonable control, prevents us from providing the   Services for more than thirty (30) days; or

(c) the other is unable to pay its debts (within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986); or becomes insolvent or bankrupt; or is subject to an order or a resolution for its liquidation, administration, winding-up or dissolution (otherwise than for the purposes of a solvent amalgamation or reconstruction); or makes an application to a court of competent jurisdiction for protection from its creditors generally; or has an administrative or other receiver, manager, trustee, liquidator, administrator or similar officer appointed over all or any substantial part of its assets; or enters into or proposes any composition or arrangement with its creditors generally; or is subject to any analogous event or proceeding in any applicable jurisdiction.

7.7. Your request for a MAC key is not deemed to be your notice of termination. However, if the MAC key is used by another broadband provider and if you do not provide notice under clause 7.4, the date that the MAC key was used will be taken to be the date that we received your notice of termination under clause 7.4(a).

7.8. If we suspend your Services pursuant to clauses 7.5(a), 7.5(b), 7.5(c) or 7.5(d), then you will be liable for the Charges during such suspension. If we suspend your Services for any other reason, you will not be liable for the Charges during such suspension.

7.9. If we terminate your Services pursuant to clauses 7.5(a), 7.5(b), 7.5(c), 7.5(d) or 7.6(a), then we will be entitled to charge you for the Charges which would have been payable to us as if you had terminated in accordance with clause 7.4(a).

7.10. If you terminate the Services pursuant to clause 7.6(b), all recurring Charges for the period of downtime will be refunded as a credit to the payment card or your bank account.

7.11. If your landline is disconnected for any reason or we agree to provide you with the Services again after terminating your Services, we may charge you a reconnection fee of £15.

 

8 What are our payment terms and charges?

8.1. You are responsible for paying the fees as laid out on the website o2.co.uk (which are subject to change), VAT, and any other tax liabilities that apply to the Services, and costs incurred in collecting late payments from you (the “Charges”). You are responsible for the Charges whether incurred by you or anyone else using your account (with or without your knowledge). If your Charges include a discount (for example, for O2 mobile customers) then this is limited to one discount per person and one discount per broadband connection.

8.2. The Charges are payable from the Services Connection Date. Recurring Charges will be collected in advance (calculated pro rata if incurred for periods of less than a month), while one-off fees will be collected in arrears.

8.3. We do not charge you for calling customer service if you call from a landline or an O2 mobile (call charges may be incurred from other networks).

8.4. If you are paying by a payment card (applicable to customers who signed up before 5 March 2008 and are paying by payment card), then you authorise the payment card company to disclose to us and, under strict obligations of confidentiality, to our subcontractors and agents, details about your payment card account in so far as is necessary in connection with your agreement with us and to inform us if your payment account is terminated or suspended at any time.

8.5. If you are paying by Direct Debit you will be required to provide your Direct Debit details (bank account number, sort code, name of bank, name of account holder). You authorise your bank to disclose to us, and under strict obligations of confidentiality, to our subcontractors and agents, details about your bank account in so far as is necessary in connection with your agreement with us and to inform us if your Direct Debit Authority is terminated at any time. If a Direct Debit payment fails, you must immediately arrange for the Charges to be paid by other means and we may also contact you to take payment. You may also be liable to pay interest under clause 8.7. If we cannot contact you after a failed Direct Debit payment, we may suspend or terminate the Services and this Agreement under clause 7.5(a) without further notice.

8.6. All invoices will be issued and stored in your O2 online account and will specify the date on which each payment is due. We will notify you at your nominated email address or mobile phone number when: 4

We may charge you interest on any overdue payments from the date you should have paid until we receive full payment of the amount you owe, including full interest (whether before or after judgement) at the rate of 2.5 per cent per annum above the base rate of HSBC plc as set from time to time.

8.8. All amounts due to us shall be paid in full (without deduction or withholding except as required by law) and you shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against us in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.

8.9. The Charges are exclusive of Value Added Tax which will be charged at the prevailing rate.

 

9 Switching your broadband package

9.1. You may switch your broadband package to another O2 broadband package no more than once a month by notifying us via your O2 online account or contacting customer service. You can only switch to a package supported by your landline. If you switch your package the actual speed may differ.

9.2. Any change to your package may take up to five (5) working days before it is activated and you will be charged at your new package price from the date of activation in the next billing cycle.

 

10 Service speed and interruptions

10.1. The actual speed of your broadband connection under your package will depend on your line (for example, the distance of your premises from the BT exchange, the quality of your copper line, the quality of the wiring within the premises, and environmental line noise will all impact your actual speeds), so we cannot guarantee that your connection will reach any specific speeds.

10.2. We do not warrant that the Services will be available at all times and fault-free. We may need to make changes to our network or the technical specification of a Service or may need to suspend provision of the Services for operational or technical reasons. We will use all reasonable endeavours to notify you in advance of such changes or suspension if it materially affects your Services.

10.3. If you experience a total loss of Service directly caused by us (except where you have requested that the Services are moved to a new premises in accordance with clause 11) for more than five (5) consecutive days, you’ll be compensated for each day’s disruption (including the first five (5) days) by a credit towards your recurring charges for those days. In order to receive this credit, you will need to notify us as soon as the Service failure occurs and request the appropriate credit by contacting customer service when your Service is restored. The credit will be shown on your next, or subsequent invoice depending upon where within the billing cycle the credit is requested.

 

11 What happens if you move?

11.1. If your new premises are in an area that’s covered by the Services, the Services can be moved to your new premises, provided you give us written notice, to be received by us at least seven (7) days before the expected moving date. There will be some downtime between disconnection from your old premises and reconnection at your new premises and you will not be refunded any Charges for that period of downtime unless you terminate your the Services pursuant to clause 7.6(b).

11.2. We will only move the Services to another premises for free once in any 12-month period. Additional moves will incur a charge of £50 per move.

11.3. If your broadband package is not available at the new address you will be automatically moved to another available package which is provided at the same price or the next lowest price.

11.4. If we are unable to provide Services to your new premises, then the cancellation terms in clause 7 will apply.

(b) provide the required information to us (especially during the ordering process) and ensure that this information is always valid, up to date and accurate;

Where the use of an extension lead is unavoidable the extension plug will have a correctly-rated fuse for the equipment to be used, have capacity to prevent overloading and the lead should be positioned carefully to prevent any risk of damage to the cable or present a tripping hazard. A multi-way adaptor should not be used; and

(g) ensure that all Equipment is used in accordance with any instructions issued by O2 or the manufacturer including ensuring that the Equipment is used only in situations where appropriate environmental conditions exist.

13.7. You shall at all times be under a duty to mitigate any losses suffered by you.
