II. If you haven’t done one of these things, the tariff terms when you signed up, last upgraded or changed your tariff will still apply until you do or until we contact you to tell you otherwise. These terms are in addition to your contract, which can be found at https://www.o2.co.uk/termsandconditions/business (“Business Contract”).

XXII Data Rollover
On selected Tariffs, unused data from one monthly billing cycle will automatically rollover into the next monthly billing cycle. You can only rollover up to 100% of your standard monthly data allowance (“Data Rollover”) into the following month, subject to the amount of Data Rollover and standard monthly allowance not exceeding 200% of your standard monthly data allowance at any one time. Any data that cannot be rolled over will expire. Your rolled over data will be decremented before your core data allowance for that billing cycle.
Data Rollover is included on selected tariffs with a data allowance of 6GB of data or more only, excluding any special or promotional tariffs. For example: 2GB tariffs with triple data offers and 3GB tariffs with double data offers are not eligible for data rollover.
For avoidance of doubt, Data Rollover is not available on any Individual Data Bolt On’s, Best for Business tariffs, Mobex, Unlimited and any Business Shared tariffs with an individual data allowance.
When you decide to change your Tariff such as upgrade, request more or less data allowances, any unused data will not rollover to the new tariff.

XXIII. Flexible Tariffs 
During the Minimum Period, Tariffs can be changed to an alternative Tariff subject to the following:
a)    Tariffs can only be changed to a Tariff which is the same Tariff Type, Minimum Period length and Tier as the Tariff that was selected on the Commencement Date, excluding any promotional tariffs and any discounts.  
b)    Tariff changes can be requested after 30 days from the Commencement Date.
c)    Tariff changes can only be made once per billing cycle 
d)    When a Tariff change is made, it will be implemented no later than the last day of the billing cycle, and the applicable Rental Charge and allowances shall be applied on a pro-rata base based on when in the billing cycle the change was made. 
e)    Tariff changes can be made on request to O2 or if the initial connection was completed via a Business selling O2 products and services in partnership with O2 (“O2 Partner”), then the Tariff changes must be requested via contacting your O2 Partner. 
f)    Any Termination Fees will be calculated based on the price of the Tariff in use when giving notice to terminate. Tariffs cannot be changed after a notice to terminate has been given. 

g)    In the event of a change of tariff, any unused inclusive data will be lost.

h)    Any additional services provided with the Tariff which require a full contractual commitment, are only available while you remain on the original Tariff. They will be permanently lost when a Tariff is changed and will not be reinstated if the Tariff is subsequently transferred back to the original qualifying tariff. 
i)    Any promotions (including but not limited to double data, a number of months for a discounted price, or a recurring credit) are only available while you remain on the original Tariff. They will be permanently lost when a Tariff is changed and will not be reinstated if the Tariff is subsequently transferred back to the original qualifying tariff. 
j)    All Customers with a Mobile Broadband SIM Only Tariff can change to a Tariff with a larger data allowance and back to a lower data allowance. However the Customer cannot change their Tariff to one that has a lower base data allowance or monthly subscription price than the original Tariff. If the original tariff had a data promotion (for example double data) applied to it, the base data allowance is before the promotion (for example if the Customer has a 6GB allowance on a 3GB double data, the base data allowance is 3GB).
k)    Customers on a Small Biz Data only tariff, Mobile Broadband SIM Only or a Business Essentials Data Only tariff can change to a Tariff subject to the Business Flex Tariff Terms found here

2. Data Charges
I. Data usage is measured in kilobytes (KB). 1MB = 1024 Kilobytes (KB), 1024 MB = 1 Gigabyte (GB).  Unless otherwise stated, data usage excludes VAT, is quoted by the MB and then rounded-up to the nearest penny. Data usage will be rounded to the nearest kilobyte and charges are rounded up to the nearest 1p. You are billed for the amount of data that travels over the data network. Please note that your bill may include charges for re-sent data packets and packets added to control the flow of data over the network.

II. Your tariff includes a monthly data allowance which allows you to use data in the UK and in our Europe Zone data network via your mobile phone (internet capable and/or Wi-Fi accredited phones only). If you exceed your monthly allowance you will be charged out of bundle data charges of 3p per MB for any additional data you use. Please see our Fair Usage Policy for more details. Extra data Bolt On’s are available, see https://www.o2.co.uk/business/solutions/mobile/tariffs/bolt-ons

III. Regardless of the amount of data you use, you must not use your SIM Card:
  a. in, or connected to, any device other than the one which it was supplied with or intended by us for use with (for example a mobile phone simplicity tariff SIM Card is intended for use in a mobile phone not a modem (this includes putting your SIM Card into a modem);
  b. contrary to our Fair Usage Policy; or
  c. in such a way that we reasonably believe adversely impacts the service to other O2 customers.

IV. If your device/equipment supports internet-tethering then this will be included in your data bolt on and internet-tethering usage will be part of your monthly data allowance.

V. We reserve the right to use appropriate traffic-shaping, charges or throttling measures to protect our network from types of data usage which we think might impact on levels of service for customers at specific times of day and/or in specific locations.

VI.    If you are using your Equipment abroad and outside of our Europe Zone then additional charges will apply in accordance with the General Conditions for Business. If you use Services abroad, it will usually take longer to be billed. It's best to check the cost of using your Equipment abroad before you travel. Accidental roaming might occur if you are in an area close to national borders because your Equipment picks up a network across the border. If this happens, you may be charged as though you were roaming on an international network. You can prevent this if you are near a national border by setting your Mobile Phone or other Equipment (as applicable) to do a manual network selection and select the 'O2' Network. For more information about using our Service abroad, please visit your nearest O2 store or https://wwwo2.co.uk/business/solutions/mobile/travelling-abroad
