Broadband T&Cs
1. This Agreement
1.1 This agreement applies to all customers of KOL Broadband.
1.2 This agreement also includes KOLs Standard Terms and Conditions and Acceptable Use Policy.
2. Availability of Services
2.1 KOL Broadband services are only available on a standard Telecom phone line and services must only be used on that line. Only one broadband account can be used on any one phone line. Services are not available in all areas.
3. Initial Provision of Broadband
3.1 For transitions from other broadband services and service providers, it may take up to 15 or more working days from the day you agree to take KOL broadband for us to begin to provide the services to you. It may take longer if you request that we start the service to coincide with the completion of any third party service providers billing cycle. These times are an indication only and not a guarantee.
3.2 For new installation of KOL broadband it may take up to 10 working days from the day you agree to take KOL broadband for us to begin to provide the services to you. This time is an indication only and not a guarantee.
3.3 You will ensure that all information regarding your KOL broadband application is correct and complete. You acknowledge that any incorrect or incomplete information could adversely affect the length of time it takes to connect you to KOL broadband and could impact on our ability to provide adequate services.
4. Phone Support
4.1 Phone support is included for set-up and Internet related technical problems on all KOL broadband accounts and hours of availability are advertised on our website.
4.2 Our service does not cover: Problems in your computer, communication equipment, your software (except for software provided by us) your phone line or any other part of the Internet not forming part of our network. In addition to this you are not covered if you use the service incorrectly or due to any other event beyond our reasonable control.
5. Changing your Address or Phone Line
5.1 If you change your address or phone line, you cannot take your services with you. KOL broadband must be cancelled to avoid charges, even if the phone line is no longer valid. Services must be reinstalled on the new phone line, even if you are maintaining your existing phone number, and will incur installation charges. You will need to call us at least 14 days in advance of the move so we can discuss how to minimise service disruption.
5.2 Should your phone line become disconnected for any reason, we can no longer provide KOL broadband to you and is taken to be a termination of agreement. Should you wish to enter into a new agreement for KOL broadband an installation charge will apply.
6. Quality of Services
6.1 You acknowledge that any claims made about speed of service are best effort peaks and not guarantees. Speed claims are line speeds only and no guarantees are made for national and international traffic, or any particular type of traffic.
6.2 Latency is not guaranteed, but should remain below 1000ms one-way across the line only. There are no jitter guarantees.
6.3 This service is not guaranteed to be fault free or continuous. This is because the service runs over an external service providers unguaranteed network.
7. Billing
7.1 We will bill for services one month in advance and any installation or cancellation charges in arrears. Your first bill will contain charges from when we first begin to supply you with KOL broadband and charges for the month in advance.
7.2 The KOL broadband service is an always on connection and can not be suspended. Charges for the full month will still apply, even if not used.
7.3 Payment for KOL broadband is by direct debit or credit card only.
8. Cancellation of Services
8.1 You can request service cancellation of your KOL broadband service at any time, however it can take up to 5 days to get the billing stopped and the service cancelled, as we are dependent on the lead-times and billing period of Telecom. It is possible to cancel the service quicker - however this requires an agreement to pay all charges incurred up until Telecom has stopped billing for the service, even if your service has been technically disconnected prior to this date. In the event that a tern contract applies to your connection then there may be an early disconnection fee, otherwise there is no cancellation fee.
8.2 When you agree to take KOL broadband you must purchase the service for at least one billing period. This means if you cancel your order as soon as it is placed, you must still pay for the entire billing period.
8.3 We reserve the right to cancel your KOL broadband in the event that we do not receive payment. We will give you 5 days notice via your preferred email address for you to pay your account to avoid KOL broadband cancellation. It is your responsibility to have your email account details accurate with us. In the event that we cancel your KOL broadband, a reconnection fee will apply if you wish to reinstate your services.
9. Changes to Terms and Conditions
9.1 We may at any time change these terms and conditions.
9.2 We may at any time, giving you 30 days notice via email:
- Change the charges for services.
- Amend or discontinue the services, or move you onto another equivalent plan.
It is your responsibility to provide us with correct and current contact information.
10. Your Obligations
10.1 You will indemnify us for any damages, loss or cost caused by you or your actions (including failure to comply with this agreement) which results in us being liable to any third party carrier.
