Residential Terms and Conditions
Changes have been made to Condition 7 (Charges, Payment Terms, Credit Limits and Deposits). These changes are intended to provide greater clarity in relation to our Charges and credit vetting procedures. They do not increase the amount you currently pay for your services nor do they impose new charges for existing customers. These changes:
· more clearly set out and explain your payment obligations and the consequences of non-payment;
· provide further clarity as to when charges become due and payable (conditions 7.1, 7.3, 7.6 and 7.10);
· more clearly set out and explain the consequences of not paying your bill on time, and the circumstances in which our existing charges in relation to non-payment will apply (conditions 7.14 and 7.15);
· provide an explanation as to why your first bill may be higher than your subsequent bills (condition 7.8);
· more clearly set out our credit vetting policy and procedure (condition 7.5);
· set out circumstances where we may request you to pay a deposit (condition 7.2);
· provide further information about credit limits that may apply to your account, whether now or in the future (condition 7.3);
· explain that we may use an external debt collection agency to recover debts that you may owe to us and by instructing an external debt collection agency may result in you incurring additional costs (condition 7.19).
Condition 11 (Rights to Cancel - Cooling Off Period) has been updated to reflect changes in the law brought about by The Consumer Contract (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, which replace the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.
Condition 12 has been amended to allow us to treat your contract as terminated if you cancel your Direct Debit or other continuous payment authority without previously notifying us or if we receive notification from another provider that you are switching services to them.
We have also made other more minor changes to the terms and conditions to make them easier to read, but without changing their legal effect.
Broadband Service Terms and Conditions
The main change made to our Broadband Service Terms is in relation to Condition 9, with the introduction of a Home Move Fee, which can be found in our Price List, available on our website.
We have made other more minor changes to these Service Terms to avoid repetition and make them easier to read, but without changing their legal effect.
Telephony Service Terms and Conditions
The main change we have made to our Telephony - CPS and Line Rental Terms is in relation to Condition 4.7, providing information regarding credit limits that may apply to your account now or in future.
We have made other more minor changes to these terms to avoid repetition and to make them easier to read but without changing their legal effect.
Multi-play Package Terms and Conditions
We have removed the section “Can I Cancel This Contract?” These details have been clarified further in the update to our Residential Terms and Conditions, above.
