Installation of our Equipment
1. When you confirm to us that you wish to receive our Service
we will send an engineer to you to install the equipment. The engineer
will visit at a mutually agreeable time and will need access to your premises
including some parts of your roof. If the engineer cannot visit at the
agreed time we shall contact you to arrange a new appointment. We shall
not be liable to you for any delay in installing and/or connecting the
Equipment.
2. You agree to make your premises as safe as possible before
our engineers arrive to install the Equipment. Any hazards or concerns
you have which may affect the safety of our engineers, particularly if
they need access to your roof, must be notified to the engineer or us
before they begin work.
3. If we need to access or install our Equipment on someone else's
property you must first gain permission from the owner of the property
and make the necessary arrangements for us to access their property in
advance of our visit.
4. A person over the age of 18 must be present during the installation
stage. He or she may be required to show the engineer the location of
a suitable electrical supply to enable the Equipment to function as well
as any other facilities which the engineer may reasonably ask for.
5. Before we can provide you with the Service, we need to successfully
complete the following steps:
(a) test the wireless Signal is strong enough for our Equipment to receive
the Service;
(b) install the Equipment;
(c) test the Equipment; and
(d) activate the Service.
6. If for any reason we cannot successfully connect you to the
Service at the installation stage, the engineer shall remove any Equipment
they have just installed. You accept that prior to installation we cannot
guarantee the Service will work. Accordingly, you will not hold us liable
for any inconvenience caused or minor damage to walls or brickwork created
as a result of fitting the Equipment.
Our Service
7. In exchange for paying the charges as set out in the Charges
section below and complying with the terms of this Agreement we shall
provide you with our Service.
8. When providing the Service we promise to use the reasonable
skill and care of a competent Service Provider. However, in supplying
the Service we cannot guarantee you a fault free performance or a constant
connection to the Internet. Accordingly, we are not liable for any consequences
arising from a specific level of Service performance not being achieved
or maintained, including but not limited to any of the following:
(a) loss of Service through fluctuations in the quality and/or strength
of the Signal; or
(b) loss of Service if our service provider temporarily ceases to provide
us with a Signal; or
(c) reductions in the speed of the Service; or
(d) suspension of the Service for operational reasons e.g. for repairs,
maintenance or upgrades.
9. We may have to temporarily suspend the Service if either we,
or our service provider, need to carry out repairs, maintenance or upgrades
to the Service or Signal. Before the Service is suspended we will endeavour
to give you as much notice as we can. We promise to restore the Service
as soon as possible after operation work has completed. If we cannot restore
the Service after 14 days, and that failure is not due to matters beyond
our reasonable control, you may terminate this Agreement without any additional
charge on giving us written notice in accordance with clause 45.
10. We may have to alter 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.
11. You agree that you will notify us of any defect in the operation
or performance of the Service by telephoning the customer fault line (details
of which appear on the Airzone Website). Where it is not possible to correct
a defect remotely over the telephone, we will use reasonable endeavours
to despatch an engineer to correct the fault.
12. It is your responsibility to ensure that your equipment (including
but not limited to your PC) is compatible with the Service and conforms
with our recommended minimum specifications (details of which appear on
the Airzone Website).
13. You remain liable to pay all charges when you are unable to
access the Service unless the reason you are unable to access the Service
is wholly attributable to our negligence or wilful default or omission.
Use of the Service
14. You must take responsibility for how the Service is used.
You must ensure that neither you nor any other person who has access to
your Service uses the Service to:
(a) send or receive any material which is offensive, abusive, indecent,
defamatory, obscene, menacing, fraudulent or illegal;
(b) cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety in respect of any
other person;
(c) send or receive or publish any material which is illegal and/or grossly
obscene (including without limitation child pornography);
(d) spam or send unsolicited promotional material to any third party;
(e) perform any illegal act or contravene any laws, licence or third party
rights (including without limitation downloading material protected by
any intellectual property right or hacking into secure web-sites without
the consent of the owner);
(f) re-sell, transfer, assign, or sub-licence the Service (or any part
of it) to any third party;
(g) store more than [50MB] of emails on the email account we may provide
you;
(h) send emails with attachments larger than [10MB] in size; or
(i) do anything which does not comply with our Acceptable Use Policy which
can be accessed via the Airzone Website and which may be subject to change
from time to time.
If we have reason to believe that you are using or permitting the Service
to be used in a manner that is contrary to the ways listed above we may
immediately suspend you from the Service and/or terminate this Agreement.
In such event you shall not be entitled to a refund for loss of Service
and shall only be re-connected once we are satisfied that you will not
breach this Agreement again.
15. You agree to fully indemnify us in respect of all damages,
claims and losses which directly or indirectly arise as a result of your
misuse of the Services or failure to prevent misuse of the Services by
others, or any other breach by you of your obligations under clause 14.
16. As part of the Service you may be allocated email accounts
and space to set up your own website. You are responsible for ensuring
that you do not exceed your allocated storage quota for personal web space
or your e-mail account(s). You are also responsible for the content you
place on any website you create or on anyone else's website.
17. The content you use or place on any web space you are allocated
must not in any way be unlawful. In particular, you must ensure that all
necessary licences and consents (including those from owners of copyrights,
performing rights and any other relevant intellectual property rights)
have been obtained.
Security
18. You will be provided with a username and password to allow
you to access the Service. You will be responsible for any use of the
Service which is accessed via your password. Accordingly, you must keep
your password confidential and must not permit any unauthorised third
party to use the Service on your behalf. You agree to immediately notify
us of any unauthorised use of the Service or your account or any other
breach of security known to you.
Equipment
19. In supplying you with the Service we may offer to sell to
you some or all of the Equipment. If you purchase such Equipment you will
own it whether or not you continue to use the Service. In all other cases
any Equipment supplied under this Agreement remains our property and we
retain title and ownership of the Equipment at all times. Unless otherwise
agreed in writing you may not sell or dispose of our Equipment or do anything
with it other than use it to receive the Service in accordance with this
Agreement.
20. You agree that you will be responsible for the Equipment we
provide you for the purpose of receiving the Service, whether or not that
Equipment is attached to your property. You agree to use the Equipment
in accordance with any instructions, safety and security procedures applicable
to it.
21. If you damage the Equipment in any way we are entitled to
charge you for the cost of such Equipment and/or to retain any money we
hold to your credit and use that money towards the cost of the Equipment.
22. Upon termination of this Agreement or indefinite suspension
of the Service you must immediately surrender the Equipment. We shall
notify you of the times our engineer will be able to come to the property
to remove the Equipment. You will agree with us which of these times you
will provide us access to the property and you promise to ensure that
a person over the age of 18 is present at the property during the removal.
If you fail to allow the engineer access to the property after the termination
of this Agreement or the disconnection of the Services, we are entitled
to charge you for the cost of such Equipment and/or to retain any money
we hold to your credit and use that money towards the cost of the Equipment.
23. All Equipment is supplied to us by third parties, and is therefore
covered by the relevant manufacturer's warranties. We will not be liable
in any way for any loss or damage which is caused to your own equipment
or apparatus arising as a result of its use in conjunction with our Equipment.
If there is a fault with the Equipment you shall call our customer fault
line (details of which appear on the Airzone Website) and if it is a problem
we cannot repair remotely we shall arrange to send an engineer to your
property to repair or replace the faulty Equipment. Provided you are not
responsible for the fault we shall repair it free of charge. In all other
cases we reserve the right to apply a charge to fix the fault, details
of which can be found on the Airzone Website.
Charges
24. You will be responsible for paying the charges for the Service
using the payment methods set out in our price list set out on the Airzone
Website. The price list is part of this Agreement.
25. All charges for the Service are inclusive of VAT.
26. We reserve the right to change the charges or payment methods
from time to time on giving you 28 days notice in writing.
Accessing your property
27. From time to time we may need to access your property to carry
out inspection, maintenance checks, repairs or upgrades to the Equipment.
We shall also need access to your property to remove the Equipment upon
termination of this Agreement.
28. We shall arrange a mutually agreeable time to visit your property
and promise to cause as little disturbance as possible when carrying out
our work. You also agree to give our engineers permission to enter your
property upon their arrival as well as any assistance they may reasonably
require during their visit.

29. The following provisions set out our entire liability (including
any liability for the acts and omissions of our employees, agents or sub-contractors)
to you in respect of:
(a) any breach of our contractual obligations arising under this Agreement;
and

Throughout this liability section, any act or omission on the part of
us or our employees or agents or sub-contractors falling within either
(a) or (b) above shall be known as an "Event of Default".
30. You agree that you are accepting these terms and conditions
in the knowledge that our liability is limited and that the prices and
charges payable by you have been calculated accordingly.

Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982;

the date on which the liability first arose; or
(b) the charges we would have expected you to pay over a 12 month period
if you have not received the Services for a full year.

the same loss then they shall be regarded as giving rise to only one claim
under this Agreement.

31 above we shall have no liability to you in respect of any Event of
Default unless you serve us with written notice of it within six (6) months
of the date you become aware of the circumstances giving rise to the Event
of Default or the date when you ought reasonably to have become so aware.
39. You acknowledge that the Service is not guaranteed to be fault
free. When using the Service you agree that you do so without any conditions,

to any warranties or conditions as to satisfactory quality or fitness
for a particular purpose, which are expressly excluded to the maximum

to perform its obligations under this Agreement by a matter which is beyond
its reasonable control (including without limitation severe weather, storms,

with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction). If
these matters continue for more than one (1) month either party shall

or not) other than as expressly set out in this Agreement. The only remedy
available to it for breach of any warranties shall be for breach of contract
under the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this clause shall, however,
operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

(Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by a third party who is not party to
this Agreement.
