2. THE AGREEMENT

The purpose of this Agreement is to set out the terms and conditions under which we will provide the Services and Equipment to you.
This Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation on each Party and by Ordering the Equipment and Services, you confirm that you are authorised to enter into this Agreement.
This Agreement begins at the point that you confirm to us via telephone, online or in writing that you wish to Order Services and/or Equipment from us. In placing your Order, this includes your Agreement to make the full payment of the agreed Upfront Charges in a manner acceptable to us including Debit/Credit card, BACS or similar direct bank to bank transfer.
We reserve the right to carry out a credit check on you and to disclose information regarding your payment history to any credit agencies that we choose to do so.
We may at our sole discretion reject your Order for some or all of the Services without any liability or responsibility to provide such reason to you. We may inform you of this rejection up to fourteen days from receipt of Order. Any such rejection will include a prompt refund of any monies paid by you in relation to the rejected Services.
Where we agree to your request for Services, we will endeavour to arrange to connect you to the Satellite Broadband Service as soon as is reasonably practical for us, taking into account our existing installation commitments and opportunities to coordinate installations on a regional basis.
If you select our Installers to conduct a full Professional Installation, they will undertake the activation of the Services and the suitable connection of your primary computer. When we have established suitable proof of connectivity, we require that you complete the authorisation and signature of our Certificate of Delivery and Acceptance and Schedule of Equipment forms whilst our Installer is still with you. In the event that you fail to complete these documents or they are not received by us for any reason, you are deemed to accept these documents as appendices to this Agreement and any other documentation that we have provided to you in relation to the Services and for the Equipment when the Equipment is used to enjoy the Services, for example, when the Internet is first accessed.
The standard durations of this Agreement will be either for:
30 days (a monthly rolling contract) after an initial 30 day period if you have purchased a bigblu home service and bought the equipment outright.
30 days (a monthly rolling contract) after an initial 30 day period if you have chosen a bigblu Pro service and bought the equipment outright.
A minimum period of 12 months when you order the services and your equipment is provided under Tooway Konnect Contract Rental .
A minimum period of 24 months when you order the services and your equipment is provided under SES ‘Rent to Own’ (RTO) scheme. SES Broadband’s rental scheme RTO offers the customer the chance to spread the purchase cost of the equipment over 24 months. If at the end of 24 monthly payments, your account is up to date, the equipment is then yours to keep. Until the 24 monthly payments are made, the ownership and title on the equipment remains with bigblu.
(We may specify a different, bespoke period for short term rental and complex jobs, if we both agree to this and this accepted by us in writing at the time of you Order). At the end of the period you will be entitled to terminate the Service by giving 30 days written notice to us (further details about leaving the service are set out in Section 10 – Ending this Agreement).

You have the right to cancel this Agreement at any time up to fourteen (14) days after your when your equipment is delivered (this is sometimes referred to as a “Cooling-Off Period”) by giving us notice in writing (your Cancellation Notice) during this period. If you exercise the right of cancellation during the Cooling Off Period, you remain liable for any Charges properly incurred by you up to and including the date of disconnection together with the cost of returning the Equipment to us. See Section 11 for more details.
This Agreement can otherwise only be terminated during the Minimum Period at our sole discretion. In the event that you require us to terminate the Services prior to the end of the Minimum Period, you agree that we are able to charge you for all relevant Charges which would have been payable by you up to the end of the Minimum Period. If you want to terminate this Agreement after the Minimum Period, one month’s written notice is required and that notice period shall commence at the end of the month in which we acknowledge receipt of your termination request.

3. PROVISION OF SERVICES

We shall provide and you shall use the Services, and Equipment, subject to the terms of this Agreement, acceptance of which is acknowledged upon the earlier of your ordering of the Services, the completion of the installation or the use of the Services.
We will provide the Services to you from the date we activate them and will continue to do so unless this Agreement is terminated properly.
By way of use of the Services, you acknowledge that our Services are recognised as that of a “mere conduit” as we do not have any impact upon information carried by our Services over the Internet. You therefore represent, warrant and undertake that all information originated, carried and/or routed by and/on your behalf over our Services is your total responsibility.
All consumer broadband services, from all broadband ISP’s (ours included) make use of pure bandwidth sharing to bring fast broadband to the end user for an affordable cost. What this means is the exact bandwidth and “speed” you experience over any broadband connection will vary depending on how many users there are live on the network at that time, as well as the overall busyness of the public internet.
In supplying the Services to you we will use reasonable skill and care but are unable to guarantee fault free performance. We do not warrant that the operation of the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, error free or secure or that the Services will meet any of your specific requirements. You acknowledge that we cannot be held responsible for unforeseen interruptions, non-availability from outages or deterioration of the Services that occur which are entirely out of our control.
The Service is provided with certain performance expectations. For example, the end-to-end service availability rate target is 99.5% measured over a rolling 12 months period for each spot beam (also known as the “Annual Availability rate”). More details of our current technical service levels will be found through our website. The Annual Availability rate excludes interruptions of or degradations in service provision resulting directly or indirectly from atmospheric or extra- atmospheric disturbances (solar storms or solar flares, meteorites, temporary adverse weather conditions etc.), operations of preventive maintenance carried out after we have informed you of the interruption, downtimes caused by system hardware and software upgrades when coordinated with you and/or earth station outages (of a few minutes per day over a period of up to five days maximum, generally in March and October). We will endeavour to provide you with five (5) days notice of any such planned service interruptions where practical and we will also include such information on our website.
If a fault occurs you should notify us at the earliest opportunity. If you are unable to access the Services, you remain liable to pay all Charges that would otherwise apply.
We have the right to change or suspend the Services where we reasonably determine that any technical modification to the Network or change in our trading, operating or business practices or policy is necessary to maintain or improve the Services which we provide to you, including, but not limited to:
changing the code or technical specifications of the Services for operational reasons including quality of service;
interrupting or suspending the Services due to an emergency, for the purposes of repair, maintenance, improvement or because of other operational reasons;
giving instructions to you which we believe are necessary for health or safety or for the quality of the Services provided to you or to other consumers;
where there is any change or amendment to any law or regulation which applies to our trading, operating or business practices or policy or the Independent Regulator and Competition Authority for UK Communications Industries (Ofcom) or any other Competent Authority makes any direction or order recommending or requiring any technical modifications or changes in our trading, operating or business practices or policy;
in our reasonable opinion it is otherwise necessary or desirable to do so.
Where practicable, we will contact you prior to the changes being introduced. We will also publish particulars of any changes (including the relevant dates) through our website as soon as reasonably practical, prior to the changes being introduced.
We are not responsible if you are unable to access the Services due to the fact that your apparatus or equipment is incompatible with the Services provided, or does not conform to any minimum specifications specified by us. It is your responsibility to ensure your equipment is maintained and in working order in accordance with these minimum specifications. We shall not be held liable for any pre-existing defect on, or incompatibility with, your computer hardware or software. We may from time to time alter the minimum specification required to access the Services. Any such notices will be published on our website
In order to get the best performance from your Equipment and Services we recommend the following minimum specification requirements:
Windows 2000 or higher (including Windows XP, VISTA and Windows 7) or Mac OS 10.X or higher.
Network capability (10/100 Ethernet pre-equipped).
If you change address at which you require the Services, we will endeavour, but will be under no obligation, to provide you with the Services at your new address. You will still be liable to pay the applicable Charges in relation to the Minimum Period. You must give us at least 30 days’ notice if you want us to relocate your Service to your new address. Where we agree to provide the Services to your new address, you shall pay us the applicable charges for the de-installation and re-installation of your Equipment that we will quote for you on receipt of your written transfer request.
We will use reasonable endeavours to maintain the stated levels of service availability. However, there may be factors we cannot reasonably control such as the temporary adverse weather conditions or a failure on the part of a third party operator, for example the Satellite Operator. In these circumstances, we or anyone connected to us acting as our agents shall have no liability. We do not take responsibility for access to third party websites and/or servers.
Where we offer services that have unlimited data consumption (like the Tooway MAX or Absolute) this does not mean that these tariffs are free from network management protocols which are in place to manage excessive or above average data consumption. All our products (unless they are specifically noted as uncontended or dedicated bandwidth like NewsSpotter) have systems in place to ensure that at times of peak network activity users who consume substantially more network resource than the majority may have their connection throttled or slowed down. This is common to all broadband services both terrestrial and those operating via satellite.
Also at peak times, certain types of resource heavy traffic maybe assigned a lower priority on the network. This is purely a method of us ensuring that we offer a good quality and fair user experience to all types of users, and that a small number of the very heaviest users on the network, don’t severely impact on the product experience of the very light or average users.

4. USE OF THE SERVICES

You accept that we may change or withdraw any element of the Services from time to time and will use all reasonable efforts to notify you of any necessary change in the Services.
We will try as far as is reasonably possible to keep the Service free from viruses, bugs and errors, but we do not guarantee that it will be free from infection or anything else that may damage your equipment or data. We will not keep any back-up copies of emails or other data belonging to you. We accept no liability for damage caused to your own equipment if you download software or other services using the Services.
As a user of the Services, you accept that we do not control, endorse or censor the material made available by the Satellite Broadband Service and the World Wide Web. You accept that third party material could be illegal, misleading, offensive or deceptive. You use it at your own risk and subject to all applicable national and international laws and regulations.
We do not guarantee that the information and services you may obtain from the Satellite Broadband Service will be suitable for your purposes and requirements. You accept that the information and services you may obtain via the Satellite Broadband Service may not be complete, accurate, up-to-date or free from errors.
We do not permit you or others to cause nuisance or inconvenience to us or to other users in any way. This includes hacking, Network sniffing or similar techniques, or sending unsolicited messages without reasonable cause, by spamming or using anonymous remailers or different servers, or other means. If you, your employees or other users of your Equipment send any such messages through the Satellite Broadband Service, you may be liable to criminal or civil action in either the UK or other appropriate jurisdictions, and we may suspend and disconnect your use of some or all of the Services and such action on our part may give rise to Charges being payable by you.
If you deal with any third party or exchange material with that third party while using the Satellite Broadband Service, you accept that you are entirely responsible for such transactions.
You agree that if we stop providing satellite broadband services to you, you will cease to use the Services and you will immediately return to us all the items supplied to you that remain our property and, at our option, delete or destroy all software that we provided to enable you to access the Satellite Broadband Service. More details can be found in Section 5.
The Satellite Network Operator (Tooway, SES Broadband or Avanti) may from time to time restrict applications that have a negative effect on their satellite network. These include but are not limited to applications for non-professional use, notably peer to peer applications and any other protocol liable to have a deleterious impact on the overall quality of service of the Services.
Due to the inherent latency involved with satellite communications, certain applications and uses are not recommended over the Satellite Broadband Services. Whilst we will make certain efforts to make you aware of this, you accept that it is your responsibility to check with us the suitability of the Satellite Broadband Service for your requirements. If you proceed to purchase the Equipment and Services for use with any application or service that we have not recommended, the failure of the Services to support such an application will not constitute a right to cancel, and as such you will not be entitled to any refunds and the Minimum Period will remain valid. We reserve the right to charge you for technical support if we reasonably consider that the Satellite Broadband Service is working normally, and faults and issues you’re bringing to our attention are related to your own PC, Mac or networking equipment or cables connecting them.
We make the Satellite Broadband Services available to you and, if relevant your designated employees or other authorised users and supply to you the Equipment on the conditions that:
They are not used for anything illegal, immoral or improper;
They are not used to offend or create nuisance;
Only the Equipment or other items as may be supplied by us to use with the Equipment are used to access the Services;

5. EQUIPMENT

We will supply you with the Equipment to allow you to receive and enjoy the Services. You must not use the Equipment for any other purpose and you must comply with any manufacturers’ instructions and any reasonable instructions that we may give you from time to time regarding the use of the Equipment.
We may ask you to confirm to us the location of the Equipment. If we make any such reasonable request, we ask that give us the location as soon is reasonably practical for you but in any event, within one calendar week.
You agree to notify us immediately of any loss or damage to any part of the Equipment.
When you use your own Customer Equipment in conjunction with the Equipment, we do not warrant that the Equipment is compatible with or will work with your Customer Equipment. We will not be liable in any way for any loss or damage that is caused to your Customer Equipment or any data stored thereon arising as a result of its use in conjunction with our Equipment.
As the provider of this equipment and under our obligations under Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment and any amendments thereto (the WEEE Directive”); we draw your attention to the requirement not to dispose of waste electrical and electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste and to have such waste electrical and electronic equipment collected separately and you agree to observe these or any subsequent obligations at a point when the Equipment is no longer required by you or us.
As part of our Services, we will supply to you the Equipment. If we have provided the Equipment to you via a rental or leasing option or if you have purchased the Equipment from us but we have not received cleared payment in full for the Equipment, it will remain at all times our property. Throughout any period where we retain title to the Equipment, you will be liable to us and shall indemnify and keep us indemnified for any loss or theft of the Equipment or any damage however and by whomever it may have been caused.
Where you have purchased and paid for the Equipment from us via the Upfront Charges, the following terms and conditions apply :-
All risks associated with the Equipment shall pass to you upon delivery and it will be your responsibility to insure the Equipment against loss, theft, fire, flood and any other risk of loss or damage from this point;
During any warranty period, details of which will be made available through our website or via our technical team upon request, we shall have responsibility for repair or replacement of our Equipment except that you accept full responsibility for cost of repair or replacement of our Equipment when the damage or problem has been caused by your negligence, misuse, abuse or violation of any part of this Agreement that is out of our control;
Such repair or replacement may involve the swapping of equipment via our return-to-base (RTB) policy. This involves the delivery to you of replacement Equipment which will only be sent to you or left with you by us (or a third party agent) if the matching piece of potentially defective Equipment is returned and received by us first. It’s your obligation to pay the postage to return the item (if applicable). If the returned potentially defective item is tested by us and found not to be faulty, it will be returned to you. If you cannot produce the potentially defective Equipment on request, you accept that we have no obligation to provide you with the replacement Equipment and that any such action will be at our sole discretion and may incur additional Charges including delivery and administration charges.
Where you have rented or leased the Equipment from us, including the provision by us of free hardware forming part of the Equipment which is included as a rental option alongside the standard monthly charge of certain packages, the following terms and conditions apply :-
We may add to or substitute the Equipment as necessary to provide the Services or for other valid reasons. You agree not to do or allow anything to be done that may cause damage to or interfere with the Equipment or prevent easy access to it or recovery of it;
You also guarantee that no other party besides us (or our agent or nominee) shall have rights of ownership, possession or use of any item of the Equipment or shall have any charge or other right or power over any item.
From the time we deliver the Equipment to you until you return the Equipment to us you must take reasonable care of it. You must not and must not allow anyone else (other than our representatives) to add to, interfere or modify the Equipment in any way. The splitting or duplicating any signal lines and/or cable by you is strictly prohibited. As well as any other rights we may have, such action may result in our suspending the Services, terminating the Agreement and/or our retaining the whole or a part of any deposit Charged to you.
Should the Equipment become lost, stolen or damaged for whatever reason during the period of this Agreement and before you return it to us if you have rented the Equipment from us, you agree to notify us of such circumstances immediately. In the event of such loss or damage, you agree to pay the full replacement value of the Equipment, such values to be displayed on our website.
You shall not be responsible for any loss or damage to the Equipment to the extent that it is caused by us or our employees or is due to a manufacturing or design fault; or is due to fair wear and tear. You agree that you shall be responsible for any loss or damage to the Equipment due to any other cause, regardless of how it happens. Wilful destruction or abuse of the Equipment by you will result in reasonable additional Fees being made.
You are responsible for ensuring that the Equipment is at all times kept safe and properly used and in this regard you agree:
While the Equipment is not in use, electricity supplied to it is not turned off and that it remains in the standby/rest mode;
That you shall not dispose of or deal with any of the Equipment in any way by, for example, trying to sell it or hire it to anyone else, or by putting it up as security for a loan, mortgage or charge, or allow any of the Equipment to be seized under any legal process. you shall not move the Equipment to another location without our prior written consent;
That you shall not remove, tamper with or obliterate any words or labels on the Equipment;
That you shall take proper care at all times to prevent the loss or theft of the Equipment. You promise to notify us if you move, change your address or the physical location of the terminal changes for any reason whatsoever.
On termination of this Agreement, or at the end of any agreed Tooway Contract Rental period, or on cancellation of any part of the Services requiring a part of the Equipment, you will within 14 days of the date of termination or cancellation, unless otherwise agreed with us, return to us at our trading address, at cost to you, as a minimum the indoor satellite modem and the TRIA (combined transceiver from the end of the arm on the satellite dish). If you fail to do so, we reserve the right to continue to charge you for the Services until the Equipment is returned or to charge you an unrecoverable equipment charge which will be £100 per satellite modem and £100 per TRIA.
You also agree that we are fully entitled to secure this payment through any payment mechanism that you have historically provided to us, even in the event that you have subsequently cancelled or countermanded any such payment method.
When the Equipment is returned to us, it must be in good condition and in full working order. Otherwise, you shall be liable to us for the lesser of the compensation payment set out above, or in circumstances where (in our sole opinion) economic repair is reasonably feasible, the cost of repair and our reasonable expenses in administering such a repair.
We may, at our option, nominate an agent or third party in place of ourselves to whom such Equipment should be returned, or compensation payment be made. If you rent the Equipment, we require, at minimum, the return of indoor unit (modem) and may require the return of any other remaining parts of the Equipment. Will communicate promptly with you to confirm which parts of the Equipment we specifically require you to return.
We provide you with the Equipment on the condition that you comply with your obligations under this Agreement. If you fail to comply with this Agreement, in particular but not only your obligations under clauses 4 and 5, or if we reasonably suspect that you have failed to comply, we shall have the right to demand that you return the Equipment to us and/or and remove the Equipment from your possession if you have rented the Equipment from us. In such circumstances, you will permit us free and safe access to your premises and/or obtain any necessary landlord, building or occupier consents required for us to achieve the return of the Equipment.

6. INSTALLATION

We will set out in our website or order forms, the acceptable methods of installation through which you will be able to install the Equipment in order to receive the Services. Our recommended option will always be the Professional Installation of the Equipment by our Installers but may also include, but not be limited to selecting your own qualified installer or carrying out the installation yourself.
Our published Charges for installation are based upon a UK mainland installation and are subject to site survey. We will give you a site-specific installation quotation in the event that additional travelling times and expenses are likely to be incurred or a non-standard installation is required. If this quotation is not acceptable to you and both Parties are unable to reach Agreement, either Party may cancel the Order within fourteen days from the preparation and circulation of this quotation.
If you chose our Professional Installation Service, we will endeavour to give you a mutually convenient time for our Installer to visit. It is important to us that we can route our Installers efficiently so your location may have an impact on the installations dates or times that we provide to you.
If we have agreed with you in writing that a site survey may be required, you will be responsible for settling payment for the survey directly with us on demand, the cost of which shall be additional to any other Charges to be paid to us for the Services.
Our Installer is responsible for taking suitable care when installing the Equipment. If you become aware of any potential problems with your installation, you should notify our Installer during the installation if reasonably practical.
Our Installer(s) will have to work both internally and externally at your premises for which they will require suitable access. Therefore, you agree to, at your own expense and in advance of installation:
Obtain all necessary consents including landlord, occupier and other buildings consents for both access and installation of the Equipment and for on-going maintenance of such Equipment; and
Provide full, free and safe access to relevant premises, and a suitable environment for the Equipment including all necessary cable ducts and electricity supply;
The Installer will fit the Equipment and will demonstrate a working system on their PC. They will have no responsibility to configure your PCs or Network as a part of the installation.
A standard installation includes the provision of one network connection up to 3m (using a Cat5e patch cord) from the location of the indoor VSAT modem. Additional network (Ethernet/CAT5) points can usually be provided during the installation visit. Rates are available on request and included on our website. We can provide a written quotation for more extensive network requirements upon request.
If you request us to do so, our Installer can configure your existing wireless LAN or Ethernet routing equipment. Our Charges for such services can be provided on request and are included on our website. Under no circumstances will we accept any responsibility or liability for your existing equipment installation, configuration or maintenance.
If you choose your own installer or wish to complete a self-install, you are fully responsible for the completion of your installation. We are not obliged to provide additional assistance to you or a 3rd party installer. If required to do so, we reserve the right to charge our standard hourly rate at £70 per hour (calculated for every complete or partial thirty minute time period) for the time period that you require us to provide such installation support services to you or your Installer.
In the event that you choose the self-installation option or you choose to use your own installer, you agree that you will make reasonable endeavours to complete the installation within 14 days from receipt of the Equipment. You agree that we are entitled to start to Charge for the Services from this point unless we have agreed in writing to an alternative commencement date, any such date to be agreed by us at our sole discretion.
Our liability with you for any damages or losses whatsoever suffered by you as a result of delayed, cancelled or incomplete installation will not exceed the value of the Installation fee that you have agreed to pay. You accept that you will have no additional rights to terminate this Agreement early on the basis of late or incomplete delivery provided that we have provided you with alternative dates to complete the installation.
As long as we have notified you in advance of the agreed installation date, if you are not at the agreed place of installation on the agreed date and time when we either seek to deliver the equipment or carry-out the installation, we reserve the right to charge you an additional Installation fee for the redelivery or installation of the Equipment or any return visit required including that arising due to insufficient time available on your initial installation date to complete the installation due to your absence or late arrival on site. Any such Charges will be notified by us to you in writing and will be, in our sole opinion, such additional sums as we consider being reasonable in the circumstances.
In certain circumstances, our installer will, where necessary, recommend that electrical grounding be undertaken. When this electrical safety requirement is identified, it should be carried out in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to install effective grounding will, in some locations, constitute a breach of local building regulations. It will remain your responsibility to ensure such work is completed in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Certified electricians should complete grounding work. Our Installer will provide a cabling lead for grounding but may not be a certified electrician and therefore will be unable to complete the grounding work. Where the installer cannot complete the grounding work it is your responsibility to ensure that a certified electrician completes such work.

7. PAYMENT FOR THE EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES

The timely payment for Equipment, the Services and any other such Charges arising properly as a result of this Agreement shall be considered to be of the essence. If you do not pay any Charges as and when they fall due, you accept that you have broken this Agreement and we have the right to terminate this Agreement. This right is in addition to any other legal rights we may have against you, which we may also rely upon.
You must pay all the Charges, which are due, together with any Value Added Tax, and/or any other taxes (at applicable rates from time to time), which apply in relation to the Equipment or Services chargeable under this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we will bill you one billing period in advance for the Services together with any outstanding Charges for Services activated during the previous billing period. You must pay your bill in full by the Due Date without any deduction of any sort or any counterclaim. You will be liable for the Charges from the day on which we first make the Services available to you unless we notify you otherwise. You agree that you are liable for any Charges incurred on your account irrespective of whether those Charges were incurred by you or anybody else using the Equipment and the Services with or without your consent. Unless stated otherwise, all prices quoted by us and listed in our Website are inclusive of VAT and all Charges that appear on your bill are inclusive of VAT. We may vary our Charges from time to time and we may also alter your billing date or billing frequency/period.
The Upfront Charges for the Services are those set out in our order form or our websites or those of any authorised third parties.
Any additional Charges for using the Services must be paid by you by the Due Date.
Subject to us reserving the right to carry out a suitable credit check on you at any point that we deem reasonable, we will normally require you to pay the Upfront Charges before your Installation. All Equipment remains our property until paid in full. Where the Upfront Charges for Equipment and installation have not been settled on demand, we reserve the right to charge a collection fee as detailed on our website from time to time and/or delay or postpone the agreed installation date and/or to demand the return of any Equipment that we had provided to you in good faith in order to facilitate the delivery of the Services and/or the right to remove all equipment supplied, with or without prior notice to you.
All of our Monthly Service Charges are based upon payment by you by credit or debit card. It is your responsibility to provide us with updated credit and debit card information in a timely manner to allow us to collect any and all on-going Charges. In the event that we are unable to receive payment for the Charges via payment card for any reason, you provide your consent to us collecting payment by any method, including the use of other direct payment methods or using other information that you have already provided to us.
Upgrade and Downgrade of the Service – unless you have selected a particular package or promotional offer which requires you to maintain a minimum level of package, you are entitled to change the level of Service assigned to your account by requesting such a change in writing subject to the following terms.
Only one operation of upgrade or downgrade per calendar month is allowed per Account.
SES Broadband S and Tooway S are promotional tariffs for new customers only, and existing customers on other tariffs cannot downgrade to these tariffs.
In case of multiple change requests occurring during the same month, only the last one will be recorded in the system. The last modification recorded during the month of request will become effective from the first day of the following month.
In case of downgrade from a higher to lower package a Downgrade Fee will be chargeable.
If you ask us to downgrade your Service from a package that requires a minimum level of Monthly Service to qualify, at our discretion, we may provide you with a specific one-off Charge to Downgrade your Service. We will usually require settlement of this Charge prior to Downgrading your service. We may also require that you commit to a new Minimum Period, normally being 12 months.
With the availability of any new Services or changes to existing Services, we will tell you the Charges (or changes to the Charges) for these Services prior to accepting any order from you to implement any change of Service levels.
We will normally send you an invoice, invoice schedule or receipt, which could be by e-mail, facsimile or post, for your Services and any other valid Charges plus the Charges for any Services used at any earlier time if they have not previously been charged for (for example, Service upgrades during a previous billing period already invoiced).
Our required method of payment for on-going Monthly (or Periodic) Service Charges is by Credit Card or Debit only. Payment via any other method at any time may incur a handling charge of up to £25 per transaction whichever sum is higher. Such charges represent additional costs incurred by us processing such payments or reflecting the additional administration costs incurred by us in using other payment methods. We may add such Charges to your account or we may ask for such Charges to be settled by you on demand depending on our assessment of the credit status of your account and whether it is or has been delinquent.
If we have tried to collect a payment on or around the Due Date but it has not been received by us within a period of up to a further 5 working days, your account will be considered to be delinquent and the Services may be temporarily or permanently (for persistent payment failures) disconnected. If we agree to re-connect your Services, there will be a reconnection charge that you are required to pay before your Services are restored. Restoration of your Services may take up to three working days from the day that we receive full payment of any outstanding Charges.
Furthermore, if you default in the payment of any monies more than 5 working days from the Due Date, we reserve the right to charge interest from the Due Date until the payment is made in full (irrespective of whether the date of payment is before or after any judgment or award in respect of the same) at 3% per annum above the Barclays Bank plc. base rate from time to time.
We reserve the right at all times to vary the Charges for the Services, the Equipment and the installation. We will make reasonable efforts to give you written notice before any such change to the charges occurs. If the charges are increasing, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice. Where we have increased our like for like charges to you by more than 10% in any 12 month period, you may cancel this Agreement by giving us 30 days’ notice in writing, however you are still liable for the balance on your account including, but not limited to Monthly (or Periodic) Service Charges and/or Equipment Rentals or any other Charges due under this Agreement up to the date of termination.
After the Minimum Period has expired, if you terminate this Agreement or any of the Services between the dates when we issue bills to you, you must pay all Charges which have accrued since the last bill was calculated and the proportion of any Service charges which have accrued up to the next billing date.This termination is subject to the provisions of Clause 10 below.
You agree that whilst Charges remain outstanding beyond the Due Date and/or your account is suspended, no changes are permitted to the level of Services that you receive and no additional Services ordered by you can be actioned by us until all overdue Charges are received by us.
Save as expressly set out in this Agreement, you shall not be entitled to suspend the payments under this Agreement, as a result of faults and/or defects of the service.
All of our prices will clearly state the currency that they are quoted are in and are inclusive of VAT or other relevant taxes at the prevailing rate, unless otherwise stated.
If you default on more than two payments of the Charges in any rolling 12-month period, we have the right to require you to pay for the Charges quarterly in advance without entitlement to any prevailing discounts.

8. NETWORK QUALITY POLICY (“NQP”)

The Network Quality Policy (sometimes also referred to as a Fair User Policy or similar reference) has been defined to enable a high quality internet access service via satellite with a consistent customer experience at an acceptable price. The implementation of the NQP determines the management of your Satellite Broadband Services to prevent any unfair and unacceptable use of the network. You are subject to a NQP during the lifetime of this Agreement.
The Tooway service is maintained at network level by the satellite owners, Eutelsat. They do not make the details of their NQP public. The SES Broadband NQP is clearly defined and can be found here.

At all times, systems will be in place to measure the volume of inbound and outbound data generated by your Satellite Broadband terminal(s). The generated volume measured over certain defined time periods. This data volume is compared with the data thresholds defined in the NQP and the customers chosen monthly data allowance. If the threshold has been reached, the speed of your Satellite Broadband Service will automatically be reduced or restricted (sometimes referred to as “Throttling”), either in upload, download or both directions. These restrictions will be automatically removed once you buy sufficient Volume Booster Tokens to cover your extra usage over your chosen data allowance, or a new month’s data allowance is credited to your airtime account.
The thresholds for the applications of speed restrictions to your Satellite Broadband Service will depend on the level of Service ordered by you. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are fully aware of the relevant thresholds within the NQP for your chosen service level. We will ensure that the NQP is displayed on our website at all times.
NQP policies and restrictions are governed and controlled solely by the Satellite Operator and we cannot change any restrictions applied to your Services due to over usage against service level requested.
We (and the satellite owners who manage the networks) reserve the right to amend the NQP from time to time, where we judge, in our sole reasonable opinion that such changes will be to the benefit of our customers as a whole.
In certain circumstances, we will provide the opportunity for you to purchase additional bandwidth. Further details of additional bandwidth (sometimes referred to as Volume Boosters, Tokens or Booster Tokens) can be found on our website.
Alternatively, you may upgrade your Service to a higher level, if available. If you do, your data consumption in the previous airtime month will still be included in the data calculations (pro-rata) for the first month of your new upgraded service (i.e. your data account doesn’t reset to zero at the beginning of the first month of any upgraded tariff). There is no specific Charge to upgrade your Service Level, only the new level of Monthly (or Periodic) Service Charge.

9. SUSPENDING OR DISCONNECTING THE SERVICES

We may at any time:
Temporarily suspend the Services for repair, maintenance or improvement of any of its systems wherever located, or temporarily provide replacement Services or Equipment of a similar functionality to those previously supplied; or
