Terms and Conditions for the provision of ADSL / Broadband Connect products by UK Broadband Installation Limited, Registered in England No: 4808046. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU 1. The service. The service is intended to provide you with high-speed network access to the internet and will be provided to you at the premises we agree with you (your premises). 2. When does our contract with you start? When we have received your duly completed order for the service this contract (as set out in these terms and conditions) starts. 3. Our commitment to you. We promise to use every reasonable skill and care in the delivery of the service. Providing the service to you. 4. Getting started. 4.1 Before we can be certain that we can provide you with the service, we need to do the following: successfully complete a line test and survey; and if applicable, successfully install the equipment needed for you to use the service; and successfully activate the service. If we cannot provide you with the service because one of the above cannot be successfully completed we will notify you as soon as possible. 4.2 If we need to arrange the installation of BT Equipment by a British Telecommunications plc engineer or by a duly authorised agent at your premises we may give you some advice on preparing your premises. As a minimum, you will need to provide a BT PSTN phone line and a suitable location for the equipment. 4.3 If access to - or permission to put BT Equipment on - someone else's premises is required in order to provide you with the service you will need to make any necessary arrangements. 4.4 When BT Equipment is being installed at your premises the normal expectation is that you will be likely to lose your telephone service for between a few minutes and two hours. This is because your existing connection needs to be replaced to allow you to access the service. If we have arranged installation of the equipment, we will try and make any loss of service as brief as possible. 4.5 If damage is caused to your premises during installation of BT Equipment due to negligence, we will cover the reasonable costs of any work that is needed to restore your premises to their original condition before the damage happened. In all other cases, restoration is your responsibility. 4.6 Although we will use all reasonable efforts to ensure installation of the service by the date that we agree with you all dates are estimates and we cannot guarantee that we will meet them. 5. BT equipment. 5.1 So that the service remains safe and secure, our equipment connected to or used with the service must be used in accordance with all relevant instructions and safety and security procedures. 5.2 If you damage or lose BT equipment, we may require you to reimburse us for the reasonable charges for repair or replacement. 5.3 We may want to recover the BT equipment from your premises at the end of this contract and you agree to allow us to do this. 6. Accessing your premises. We may need access to your premises from time to time (for example, for installation, repairs, maintenance or upgrades or to recover BT equipment when this contract comes to an end). If we do, we will give you advance notice and so long as appropriate identification is shown you agree to allow us access. We will meet your reasonable requirements and you must meet ours, concerning the safety of people on your premises. 7. Making sure the service is secure. 7.1 We will issue you with a set of usernames and passwords. These are essential for your secure use of the service so you must ensure that they are kept confidential, secure and are used in accordance with all relevant instructions. 7.2 To ensure that the service remains secure, you must not change or attempt to change a username. 7.3 If we think there is likely to be a breach of security or misuse of the service we may: change your password and then we will notify you that we have done this; and/or suspend username and password access to the service (please also see paragraph 16). 7.4 If you think that any username or password has become known by someone not authorised to use it, or if any password is being or is likely to be used in an unauthorised way, you need to inform us immediately. 7.5 If any of the information you give to us when you sign up for the service changes, including any changes to your payment details, you must inform us immediately. 8. Things we may have to do. We may need to temporarily suspend the service for operational reasons (e.g. for repairs, planned maintenance or upgrades), but before we do we will give you as much notice as we can. We promise to restore the service as soon as possible after any suspension. We may have to alter code or access numbers or technical specifications associated with the service for operational reasons, and where we need to tell you about this we will give you as much notice as we can. The technical specification will only be changed where this will not materially affect the performance of the service. We may give you instructions about health and safety issues when using the service, or on your use of the service to ensure the quality of the service we provide to you and other customers, and you agree to observe them. 9. Repairing faults in the service. Although we attempt to provide you with the best possible service, we cannot guarantee that the service will never be faulty. However, we will correct all reported faults as soon as we reasonably can. WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO 10.
