3. FORMATION AND MINIMUM TERM
3.1 The Agreement begins when signed by both parties or when the Service is activated, whichever
occurs first, and continues for the Minimum Term stated in the Special Conditions.
3.2 The Customer acknowledges that the price, installation contribution, promotional benefits and
Equipment arrangements are offered in return for the Minimum Term.
3.3 After the Minimum Term, the Agreement continues on a monthly basis unless the Special
Conditions expressly provide otherwise. Either party may then terminate on thirty (30) days’ written
notice without a Minimum-Term Recovery Charge.
4. INSTALLATION AND ACTIVATION
4.1 The Customer shall provide accurate information, safe access, electricity, internal wiring,
permissions and any landlord, Ministry of Defence, DIO, contractor or third-party consent reasonably
required for installation, relocation, maintenance or removal.
4.2 Any target activation date is conditional on access, approvals, network availability, line of sight, site
readiness and events outside the Company’s reasonable control.
4.3 The Service is delivered and tested at the Installation Point. Internal Wi-Fi coverage and the
Customer’s internal network are the Customer’s responsibility unless expressly included in the
Special Conditions.
4.4 The Company may refuse or postpone installation where it is unsafe, unlawful, technically
impracticable or dependent on an outstanding third-party approval.
5. SERVICE PROVISION
5.1 The Company shall use reasonable skill and care in providing the Service and maintaining its
network.
5.2 Speeds and wireless performance may vary because of radio conditions, contention, third-party
networks, equipment, premises construction, interference, power, weather and other technical
factors.
5.3 The Company does not guarantee uninterrupted or fault-free Service, but will use reasonable efforts
to investigate and remedy faults within its control.
5.4 The Company is not responsible for the Customer’s internal network, third-party equipment or
services beyond the Installation Point.
6. CHARGES AND PAYMENT
6.1 The Customer shall pay the charges stated in the Special Conditions and applicable price schedule
by the due date, whether or not the Customer uses the Service.
6.2 Monthly Charges may be invoiced in advance. Installation, repair, relocation, Equipment, usage and
other charges may be invoiced when incurred.
6.3 Overdue sums may bear interest at the rate stated in the price schedule or, if no rate is stated, at
the lawful rate applicable to the debt.
6.4 The Company may suspend Service for overdue undisputed sums after reasonable notice, without
waiving the debt or the right to terminate.
6.5 The Customer may dispute an invoice in writing, stating reasons and evidence. Undisputed
amounts remain payable.
7. EQUIPMENT
7.1 Equipment remains Company property unless the Special Conditions expressly state that ownership
transfers to the Customer.
7.2 The Customer shall keep Equipment safe, powered and unaltered; use it only for the Service; and
permit reasonable access for inspection, replacement or recovery.
7.3 On termination, the Customer shall return all Company Equipment within fourteen (14) days in
reasonable condition, fair wear and tear excepted.
7.4 If Equipment is not returned, is lost or is damaged beyond fair wear and tear, the Customer shall
pay the replacement value stated in the signed price schedule or, if not stated, the reasonable
documented cost of equivalent replacement equipment.
8. MOVING PREMISES AND RELOCATION
8.1 The Customer shall give at least thirty (30) days’ written notice of a proposed move and provide the
new address and requested relocation date.
8.2 A move does not by itself cancel or discharge the Minimum Term.
8.3 If the Company can provide Service at the new address, the Agreement will continue for the
balance of the Minimum Term, subject to technical feasibility, required permissions and the
applicable relocation fee. If the Customer declines a technically available relocation and terminates,
clause 10 applies.
8.4 If the Company cannot provide Service at the new address, the Customer may terminate. Unless
mandatory law requires otherwise, the charges in clause 10 remain payable because the move is a
Customer circumstance and not a breach by the Company.
8.5 The Company may, at its discretion, waive or reduce a charge under this clause. A waiver in one
case does not create a precedent or waive rights in another case.
9. CUSTOMER TERMINATION DURING THE MINIMUM TERM
9.1 The Customer may request termination at any time by written notice. Termination takes effect on
the later of: (a) the requested date; (b) expiry of the notice period stated in the Special Conditions;
and (c) return or agreed collection of Company Equipment.
9.2 If termination occurs before expiry of the Minimum Term for a reason not caused by an uncured
material breach by the Company, the Customer shall pay the amounts in clause 10.
9.3 Examples include moving premises, leaving Cyprus or a Covered Location, choosing another
provider, no longer requiring the Service, financial circumstances, change of employer or
accommodation, or failure to secure access or permissions.
10. MINIMUM-TERM RECOVERY CHARGES
The parties agree that the amounts below protect the Company’s legitimate commercial interests in
recovering committed revenue, installation and activation expenditure, promotional support, allocated
network capacity and Equipment costs. They are intended as an agreed contractual recovery and not
as punishment. No item may be recovered twice.
10.1 Remaining Commitment Charge: an amount equal to the Monthly Charge multiplied by the number
of complete and partial billing months remaining in the Minimum Term, calculated from the effective
termination date.
10.2 Installation Recovery: the difference between the Company’s standard home installation price of
one hundred and forty-five euro (€145) and any amount already paid by the Customer toward that
installation. Where a different installation price is expressly stated in the Special Conditions, that
stated price applies.
10.3 Promotion Recovery: the value of free months, monthly discounts, waived activation or relocation
fees, bill credits, vouchers, gifts or other promotional benefits actually received by the Customer, to
the extent not already included in the Installation Recovery.
10.4 Outstanding Charges: all unpaid Monthly Charges, usage charges, repair charges and other sums
accrued up to the effective termination date.
10.5 Equipment Recovery: the charge permitted by clause 7.4 if Company Equipment is not returned or
is damaged beyond fair wear and tear.
10.6 Recovery Costs: reasonable and documented third-party costs necessarily incurred to recover an
overdue debt, but only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
10.7 Before collection, the Company shall provide an itemised final statement showing the formula,
months remaining, credits already given, payments already made, Equipment status and any
reduction applied.
10.8 If mandatory law limits any component, that component is reduced automatically to the maximum
lawful amount without invalidating the remaining components.
11. CALCULATION AND FINAL STATEMENT
11.1 The Customer’s Monthly Charge and Minimum Term are those stated in the Special Conditions.
The Remaining Commitment Charge is calculated by multiplying that Monthly Charge by the number
of complete and partial billing months remaining in the Minimum Term.
11.2 The standard home installation price is €145. Any installation contribution already paid by the
Customer shall be credited against the Installation Recovery.
11.3 The final amount due is the total of the applicable components in clause 10, after deducting
payments and credits already received and excluding any duplicated recovery.
11.4 The Company shall issue an itemised final statement. The Customer remains responsible for
returning Company Equipment in accordance with clause 7.
12. TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY
12.1 The Company may terminate for material breach, including non-payment, unlawful use,
interference with the network or Equipment, repeated obstruction of reasonable access, fraud or
serious risk to network security.
12.2 Except where urgent action is reasonably required, the Company will give written notice describing
the breach and a reasonable opportunity to remedy it.
12.3 Where termination results from the Customer’s breach during the Minimum Term, clause 10
applies.
13. FAULTS, COMPLAINTS AND SERVICE REMEDIES
13.1 The Customer shall report faults promptly and cooperate with reasonable diagnostic and
attendance arrangements.
13.2 A complaint must first be submitted to the Company at the contact details in clause 21. The
Company will investigate and provide a written response within a reasonable period.
13.3 Nothing in the Agreement removes any mandatory right or remedy available to the Customer
under applicable law.
14. ACCEPTABLE USE AND SECURITY
14.1 The Customer shall not use the Service unlawfully, resell it without written permission, interfere
with networks, infringe rights, distribute malware or facilitate fraud, abuse or unauthorised access.
14.2 The Customer is responsible for securing passwords, devices and wireless access and for the use
of the Service by persons given access through the Customer’s premises or credentials.
14.3 The Company may take proportionate protective action, including temporary suspension, where
reasonably necessary to protect users, networks, systems or legal compliance.
15. DATA PROTECTION AND CONFIDENTIALITY
15.1 The Company processes personal data in accordance with its Privacy Notice and any data-
protection law applicable to the processing, including the UK GDPR or EU GDPR where either
applies by virtue of territorial scope.
15.2 Personal data may be processed for service provision, installation, support, billing, fraud
prevention, security, debt recovery, legal compliance and the establishment or defence of legal
claims.
15.3 Marketing communications require any consent mandated by applicable law and may be declined
without affecting the Service.
16. LIABILITY
16.1 Neither party excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
16.2 Subject to clause 16.1, the Company is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit,
loss of business, loss of data, third-party services, or failures outside its reasonable control.
16.3 For a consumer, this clause does not limit mandatory rights concerning services not performed
with reasonable skill and care.
16.4 The Customer should maintain appropriate backups, surge protection and alternative
communications for critical or emergency requirements.
17. EVENTS OUTSIDE REASONABLE CONTROL
17.1 Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events outside its reasonable control, including
severe weather, fire, war, civil disturbance, industrial action, power failure, third-party network
failure, access restrictions, governmental or military action, permit delays or damage to
infrastructure.
17.2 The affected party shall use reasonable efforts to reduce the effect and resume performance.
18. CHANGES TO TERMS AND CHARGES
18.1 The Company may change the Agreement for a valid legal, regulatory, security, technical,
operational or commercial reason.
18.2 Where a change materially disadvantages the Customer, the Company will give at least thirty (30)
days’ notice and explain any right to terminate without a Minimum-Term Recovery Charge where
required by mandatory law.
18.3 A website publication alone will not be relied upon as proof that an existing Customer accepted a
materially adverse change where individual notice or consent is required.
19. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
19.1 For an Installation Address situated within the Sovereign Base Areas, the Agreement and any non-
contractual obligation arising from it are governed by the laws in force in the Sovereign Base Areas
of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. For BRS Nicosia, Troodos or any Covered Location outside sovereign SBA
territory, the Agreement is governed by the law mandatorily applicable to that Installation Address. In
every case, mandatory rules prevail over this clause.
19.2 The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Competent Court for the Installation Address,
except where mandatory law permits the Customer to bring proceedings elsewhere.
19.3 Before proceedings, the parties shall use reasonable efforts for thirty (30) days to resolve the
dispute through the Company’s written complaints process.
20. GENERAL PROVISIONS
20.1 The Customer may not transfer the Agreement without written consent. The Company may
transfer it as part of a lawful business or network transfer, provided the Customer’s material rights
are not reduced.
20.2 If a term is invalid or unenforceable, it shall be reduced or severed to the minimum extent
necessary and the remainder continues.
20.3 A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver.
20.4 The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement concerning the Service, without excluding liability
for fraud or misrepresentation that cannot lawfully be excluded.
