1.7 Number portability is available on the Service. Termination

1.8 We monitor and record calls for the training purposes and for the purpose of improving our customer services and for quality purposes.

Charges and Payment

2.1  You will be charged for calls at Clarity Telecom Ltd.’s published rates. Clarity Telecom Ltd. may vary its rates by notice to you in accordance with clause 6.

2.2  Clarity Telecom Ltd. will usually send you a bill once a month to the address set out on your registration form (or such other address as you request that Clarity Telecom Ltd. uses for billing). You must pay all charges within 14 days by direct debit. Clarity Telecom Ltd. will normally send reminders for late payment, but Clarity Telecom Ltd. may, if it wishes, charge you interest at 4% over HSBC’s Bank Plc’s base rate for the whole period of any late payment.

2.3  In the event that any sum remains outstanding for more than 14 days Clarity Telecom Ltd. may, if it wishes, either terminate the Service or suspend the Service until such time all sums owing have been paid in full, together with such security deposit as Clarity Telecom Ltd. may require. If your account is suspended Clarity Telecom Ltd will charge £25 per telephone number for the administration of reactivation of service. If a line is disconnected there will be a new line installation charge to restore service. Clarity Telecom Ltd can not guarantee that your previous telephone number will be available. Late payments (over 30 days) are subject to a £3 administration charge.

2.4  If any sums owing are overdue by more than 60 calendar days, Clarity Telecom Ltd. may instruct solicitors to recover outstanding balances. You will be liable for the debt plus interest and any costs chargeable by our solicitor including enforcement costs.

2.5  In the event a payment received by Clarity Telecom Ltd. is returned unpaid a £15 administration charge will be applied.

2.6  All quoted tariffs are exclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT) unless stated otherwise.

2.7  For customers on a charge per minute contract Clarity Telecom Ltd expects the call volume not to reduce below 50% of the “expected monthly minutes” as stated on the Customer Contract Agreement for a period of more than 3 consecutive months. If this occurs Clarity Telecom Ltd. reserves the right to charge you for the difference between these two amounts. This shortfall of minutes will be charged at your average call costs as incurred during your time with Clarity Telecom Ltd.. The average cost will be obtained by dividing the total number of minutes used, into the total call costs during your time with Clarity Telecom Ltd. For example, if you selected 1,000 minutes as your expected monthly minutes on the Customer Contract Agreement and you used only 100 minutes (assuming you exceeded the 3 consecutive months’ rule) we reserve the right to charge you for 400 minutes at the average cost per minute.

Your Obligations

3.1 You will ensure that any equipment you use with the Service and the equipment provided by us is in good working order and complies with all applicable standards, requirements and approvals.

3.2 You will ensure that the Service is not used for any improper or unlawful purpose or in a manner which is offensive, (including indecent, menacing, nuisance, defamatory or hoax calls).

3.3 You will comply with any reasonable requests and directions that Clarity Telecom Ltd. may make, regarding your use of the Service and/or the equipment provided, as may be necessary to ensure the quality and operational integrity of the Service.

3.4 Fair use policy: Free Calls to O2 tariff; if more than 50% of the total minutes to mobile networks on a monthly basis are to O2 mobiles, surplus minutes will be charged at the normal published rate to call a mobile phone. (e.g. a customer whose mobile call minutes total is 10000 and 9000 minutes are to O2, the surplus calls are charged at 5.4p per minute. The excess O2 minute volume is the difference between the actual O2 minute volume of 9000 minutes and the maximum fair usage (in this case) of 5000 minutes. Here the surcharge would be 4000 minutes x 5.4p per minute, and the actual billed amount would be £216 for all calls to O2 Mobiles). The average call cost per minute for O2 Mobile in this example would be 2.4p per minute (£216/9000 minutes). For Free Calls to Work Mobiles tariff, if more than 50% of the total minutes to mobile networks are to work mobiles, the surplus minutes will be charged at the normal published rate (5.4p per minute). The excess work mobile minutes are the difference between the actual work mobile minute volume and the maximum fair usage (50%).

Length of the Contract

4.1 This Agreement shall come into force on and with immediate effect from the date the Clarity Telecom Customer Contract Agreement is signed (“the Commencement Date”).

4.2 You commit to an initial minimum contract term as stated on the Clarity Telecom Customer Agreement or 24 months (if no term is specified) for the call charges, line rental services and broadband. This is known as the Initial Minimum Period.

This does not apply if we raise charges by an amount equal or less than the percentage in the Retail Prices Index (RPI) plus 3.9% in line with industry standards.

 

5.3 Clarity Telecom Ltd. will be entitled to charge an early termination charge for customers subscribed to the line rental and calls service and / or broadband equal to a sum of the line rental and broadband charges and a sum equal to 50% of the expected monthly minutes, as stated on the Customer Contract Agreement, to the extent not already paid, for the remainder of the term.

5.4 Clarity Telecom Ltd. will be entitled to charge an early termination charge for customers subscribed to the calls only service.

5.7 If you do not give us 30 days written notice of cancellation (whether before or after the Initial Minimum Period (or any subsequent periods) has expired) Clarity Telecom Ltd. will be entitled to charge an amount equal to 30 days average call charges in addition to any other termination charges which arise.

5.8 Clarity Telecom Ltd. may terminate the Service without notice if you become subject to any bankruptcy proceedings or you make an arrangement or composition with your creditors, or a liquidator, administrator, administrative receiver, bankruptcy trustee or similar officer is appointed over any of your assets or you become unable to pay your debts within the meaning of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989; or you do not pay your bill when due; or if we have good reason for believing that any information you have given us is false or misleading.

5.9 Clarity Telecom Ltd. may terminate this Agreement at any time after the Initial Minimum Period has expired by giving you at least 30 days written notice.

5.10 Without prejudice to any other termination rights set out in this Agreement, Clarity Telecom Ltd. may terminate this Agreement immediately on notice if you commit a non-remediable breach of a material obligation of the Agreement or you commit a remediable breach of a material obligation of this Agreement (including without limitation failure to pay any charges by their due date) and fail to remedy such breach within 30 days of the date we notify you of such breach; or where any contract between Clarity Telecom Ltd. and a third party provider of telecommunications services is terminated where such termination affects the provision of the Service. On termination of this Agreement you shall immediately stop using the Service and all amounts you owe as for use of the Service shall be due and payable in full.

5.11  Residential customers or a small business with 10 employees or less, once the Initial Minimum Period has been met will not be rolled into a subsequent term of contract without their express consent.

Unless otherwise stated in the promotional terms and conditions an offer may be amended or withdrawn by us (in relation to some or all of our customers) at any time and without notice. For the avoidance of doubt we are not obliged to include you in any offer we make to our other customers. If any equipment or product has been supplied by us at a reduced cost, or free of charge, as part of a promotion or sales offer in connection with this Agreement and you terminate this Agreement or you are in default of this Agreement before the end of the Initial Minimum Period, or any subsequent annual term as specified on the sales contract, you must return the product in as good a condition as it was in when you received it and in its original packaging.

  1. CHARGES – YOUR ATTENTION IS PARTICULARLY DRAWN TO THIS CLAUSE

5.1.     Although the method for calculation of the Charges outlined in your Order Form will be, subject to Clause 5.2 and 5.3 below, fixed for the Initial Term of the Agreement (subject to the other provisions of the Agreement and any increases introduced by the Network Provider or otherwise outside of our control), we reserve our right to alter our prevailing rates for provision of the Deliverables at any time and without prior notice.

 
5.2.    Where you agree with the Network Provider to downgrade or otherwise reduce, in any way, your tariff with the Network Provider (including through the removal of bolt-ons, any other value added services, or any monetary reduction), during: (a) the Initial Term of this Agreement, you shall pay us on demand, following the expiry of the Initial Term, a sum calculated as the sum total of difference between the amount that we actually received in total Monthly Charges over the remainder of the Initial Term from the date such change became effective less the amount that we would have otherwise received in total monthly Charges (such monthly Charges to be calculated as the mean average of the monthly Charges paid or liable to be paid for each month over the Initial Term prior to the date of your changing your tariff with the Network Provider) over the remainder of the Initial Term from the date such change became effective, assuming your tariff  had remained unchanged, which resulting figure shall be multiplied by 0.56 and paid in addition to an administrative fee of £100 (excluding VAT) per telephone number in respect of the work (calculated on a time and material basis) involved in reducing the tariff with your Network Provider, checking your bill reflects any reduction, and calculating and raising an invoice, in acknowledgement of our reasonably incurred administrative costs (“Calculation Fee”); or, (b) any Extended Term, where your contract with your Network Provider continues into the relevant Extended Term, following the expiry of the relevant Extended Term, a sum calculated as the sum total of difference between the amount that we actually received in total Monthly Charges over the remainder of the relevant Extended Term from the date such change became effective less the amount that we would have otherwise received in total monthly Charges (such monthly Charges to be calculated as the mean average of the monthly Charges paid or liable to be paid for each month over the relevant Extended Term prior to the date of your changing your tariff with the Network Provider) over the remainder of the Initial Term from the date such change became effective, assuming your tariff had remained unchanged, which resulting figure shall be multiplied by 0.56 and paid in addition to a Calculation Fee of £100 (excluding VAT) per telephone number, calculated as set out above.
 

5.3.  If you wish to Upgrade during the term of your Agreement you will be required to enter into a new Agreement with us with a new agreed tariff and Monthly Charge. Any remaining months left from the term of the old Agreement will be added onto the term of the new Agreement, once the relevant Order Form is signed. No Upgrades will otherwise be permitted during the term of the Agreement.

  1. THE PRODUCTS

6.1.     You shall be responsible for the safe keeping and safe use of any Products provided to you during the Initial Term. In particular, you agree during the Initial Term to use all Products with reasonable care in accordance with their relevant operating specifications or manufacturer’s instructions, and not to use any Products we have supplied under the Agreement in conjunction with any equipment which we, or the Product manufacturers, did not supply or otherwise approve of in advance.

 
6.2.     Any Products we provide to you should, as applicable, comply with the standards set by the Telecommunications Act 1984 (Act) and any subsequent or related legislation. We shall not be under any obligation to connect or keep connected any equipment if it does not comply with the Act or if in our reasonable opinion it is likely to cause death, personal injury, and damage or to impair the quality of the Services we provide. You agree to use all applicable Products in accordance with the Act.
 
6.3.     We operate a minimum usage policy in respect of any mobile devices/SIM cards we supply to you to which you must adhere, save where they are provided as part of a trial period as outlined in Clause 10. In general, there must be a reasonable level of genuine and regular outbound call usage. Each mobile device/SIM card we supply to you must make an average of at least 10 minutes per month of outbound calls (or SMS/ GPRS usage of equivalent value, i.e. £1+) over a rolling three month period, to be considered “active” at the time the handset is assessed. If at any time during the Initial Term there is a significant drop in usage of the relevant mobile devices/SIM cards, or there is otherwise a failure on your part to adhere to any of the provisions of this Clause 6.3, we shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement forthwith and/or recover any Incentives paid under the Agreement in addition to all losses and charges which we may incur as a result of doing so.
 
6.4.     In construing clause 5.2 of the General Terms, title to the Products shall be deemed to pass to you upon the expiry of the Initial Term provided that all outstanding Charges due under the Agreement at that date have been paid in full, and no liability is otherwise outstanding from you to us under the terms of any Agreement between us.  
 
  7. INCENTIVES
 
7.1.     From time to time we may offer you Incentives to enter into an Agreement. Where we do the nature and value of any such Incentives shall be set out within the relevant Order Terms.
 
7.2.     Without limiting any of our other rights or remedies, if you, at any time, fail to perform or delay in performing any of your obligations under any contract with us (including where any Charges are outstanding, or where you purport to terminate/break the Agreement during the Initial Term or any Extended Term), we reserve the right to, acting in our discretion: (a) withhold any Incentives otherwise due to you under the Agreement, (b) otherwise set-off any amount owing to you by us against the payment of any Incentives (in accordance with clause 8.12 of the General Terms), or (c) claim repayment of the value of any Incentives paid to you pursuant to any Agreement (as outlined within Clause 9.1 for example). Such failure shall also disqualify you from receiving any Incentives to which you may have been entitled in the future were it not for your failure to perform or delay in performing any of your obligations under the Agreement.
 
7.3.     Where, as part of any Incentive, we offer you a fixed price line rental via cash-back or line credit, this fixed price is dependent on the Network Provider not increasing the price of its services. Where the price of the services is increased by the Network Provider, this is done independently of the Agreement. The amount of payments you receive as part of any Incentive will remain static for the duration of the Agreement and you will remain liable to the Network Provider for any increased charges.
 
7.4.     You shall also be liable to repay any Incentives paid to you where it has not been possible to fully fulfil your order for the Deliverables for reasons outside of our control (including due to any failure of the Network Provider, for example, a failure to provide adequate connections for the Products), and you are entitled or permitted to, and elect to, terminate the Agreement as a result.      
 
 
8. CHANGE CONTROL
 
8.1.     Either party may submit written requests for changes to the Agreement (or any part thereof) to the other party during the term of the Agreement. We shall advise you of the likely impact of any such change, including, but not limited to, any effect on the Charges.
 
8.2.    The parties shall in good faith discuss changes proposed in accordance with Clause 8.1 as soon as reasonably practicable.
