When signing up to the Services from Vodafone Ireland Limited (a company registered in Ireland having its registered address at MountainView, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland) (“Vodafone”) you will be required to accept the Terms as well as any Service specific terms and conditions which relate specifically to the Services chosen by the Customer.

GENERAL

1. These Terms together with the Customer Application Form and any Service specific terms and conditions, tariff plans or promotions constitute a legally binding agreement (the "Agreement") between Vodafone and you. Use by you or by another person (whether or not such a person is acting with the authority of you) of any of the Services provided by Vodafone, shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance of this Agreement.

2. This Agreement shall commence and you shall be deemed to have accepted that you are bound by, and have agreed to comply with, the terms of this Agreement (as defined above) on the Commencement Date and, subject to termination in accordance with these Terms, shall continue for the Minimum Term of the applicable Services and thereafter shall continue on a month by month basis until terminated in accordance with these Terms. Please note that various related Vodafone products and services including add-ons and Third Party Services may be subject to their own distinct terms and conditions which you are advised to read.

3. Vodafone reserves the right to refuse to accept any customer application.

4. Vodafone may vary or change the Agreement or any part of the Services for any commercial, technical or operational reason and any material changes shall be notified to you in advance.

5. These Terms apply to the Services which Vodafone have contracted to provide you at the time of entering into this Agreement and will continue to provide over the duration of the contract. These Terms can only be changed by Vodafone giving you thirty (30) days’ notice. In the event of any such alteration, you shall have the option to terminate the Service without penalty during that 30 day notice period, subject to payment by you of all Charges due to date. Your continued use of the Service after this 30 day notice period has expired signifies your acceptance of any amendment.

6. Please note that Vodafone Agents are not authorised to amend this Agreement or to agree any provision which is inconsistent here with.

7. Connection to the Services shall be conditional on:

   you having and maintaining a credit rating satisfactory to Vodafone and providing Vodafone with such financial security as it reasonably requires;

   you providing valid proof of identity/address and such evidence of residency in Ireland as Vodafone may require;

   you being over eighteen (18) years of age (if personal application); and

   truthful and accurate completion of the application form by you and the provision of such other information as Vodafone may for any valid reason request.

8. There will be a customer care support service in connection with the Services, available from 09:00 to 21:00 from Monday to Friday and from 10:00 to 18:00 on Saturday, Sundays and Holidays at the following number: 1907.

9. If you are a customer with special needs (for example an elderly or disabled customer) we can provide you with Services and products geared towards your needs. We can also provide you with information material in other formats, such as braille, audio or large print. Please contact us via 1907 and tell us how we can help you.

SERVICE AVAILABILITY

10.  You must have a service delivery address located within a geographic area covered by the network reach of the Access Provider’s network.

11.  Your service address must be capable of a standard installation type as determined by the Access Provider.

12.  If you move house, we will try, but shall be under no obligation, to provide you with the Services at your new address if it is within our serviceable area. You will still be liable to pay the applicable Charges in relation to the Minimum Period for the Services provided to your old address even if you move from that address during the Minimum Period, or if we do not provide you with Services at your new address, or if your new address is outside our serviceable area. Where we agree to provide the Services to your new address, you shall be entered into a new eighteen month minimum term contract for all Services associated with your account from the date of activation in the new address.

13.  If you would like to transfer ownership of this Agreement you must complete and Vodafone must accept a valid transfer of ownership application. It is also possible to change and amend the account holder details for your Vodafone customer account. You can find out more information on www.vodafone.ie.

INSTALLATION

14.  On the placing of an order for the Services, Vodafone will provide you with a timeline within which it will deliver the Services. This timeline may vary from customer to customer depending on the circumstances affecting the delivery mechanism for you. Vodafone will use its reasonable efforts to install the Services in accordance with the timeline it agrees with you, but such dates are estimates only and Vodafone cannot guarantee that it will meet such dates. Vodafone will work with the Access Provider to provide the initial connection to you as soon as possible and in any event within ninety (90) days of the date on your Customer Application Form or as otherwise agreed with you.

15.  Each new order for the Services may require a Vodafone Agent visit to install the Equipment in your home or business premises (“Service Installation”). If an engineer visit is required, you will be notified with an initial appointment date and time (within normal working hours) for Service Installation. If you wish to reschedule this initial appointment, you can do so without charge until 5pm on previous working day, prior to the appointment.

16.  The Service Installation will commence with an overview of your home or business premises (the “Premises”) to ensure that the Premises can support the Services. You must allow the Vodafone Agents access to your property in order to allow for the installation of Equipment and so that they may carry out any works necessary for the provision of such Services.

17.  You must have the Premises ready and safe for the Vodafone Agents to arrange the Service Installation. At the time of placing your order where you have requested that an extension kit be installed, you accept full responsibility to ensure that there is a clear and safe environment for the engineer to carry out the Service Installation. This includes moving any furniture likely to obstruct the path of the extension kit cable prior to the arrival of the Vodafone Agents. Under no circumstances will Vodafone Agents engage in such activity and Vodafone reserve the right to charge for any additional time spent on site by the Vodafone Agents as a result of having to wait, or as a result of having to reschedule the appointment due to the Premises not being ready for the Service Installation.

18.  The Service Installation may require works to be carried out on the Premises, which may include a change of phone socket in the wall or drilling a hole through the wall of your property and affixing a coupler box to an external and internal wall and/or any other works which may be required to complete the Service Installation as deemed necessary by the Vodafone Agents. The Vodafone Agents will utilise any suitable available pre-existing overhead and underground infrastructure where possible, although in certain circumstances, underground digs may be required. Where no underground ducts are available, an overhead install solution may be used between homes and/or businesses and/or from a power line, or telephone, pole onto the façade of your premises. You must be present at the premises at the arranged time for install, in order to facilitate access to the premises, as required and to acknowledge that the works have been carried out to a suitable standard.

19.  As part of the Service Installation you may require Equipment in order to receive the Services. Where this Equipment has been posted to you, it is your responsibility to have the Equipment at the Premises prior to the Service Installation.

20.  YOU ACCEPT THAT IN ORDER TO INSTALL THE SERVICES, CERTAIN THIRD PARTY CONSENTS MAY BE REQUIRED BY THE ACCESS PROVIDER AND IT MAY BE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO OBTAIN THESE CONSENTS WHERE REQUIRED. FAILURE TO OBTAIN THESE CONSENTS SHALL RESULT IN THIS AGREEMENT BEING TERMINATED WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT WITHOUT PENALTY BETWEEN VODAFONE AND YOU. Where rental premises are concerned, it is the responsibility of the tenant to inform and seek permission from the landlord regarding the installation of Equipment, including any required alterations to the premises. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL INDEMNIFY VODAFONE IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM OF TRESPASS BY A LANDLORD OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE YOU HAVE FAILED TO OBTAIN THE APPROPRIATE CONSENT AS REQUIRED UNDER THIS CLAUSE.

21.  Vodafone shall make commercially reasonable endeavours to install the Services but shall not be liable in the event that it is not able to complete installation. In such event, the Agreement shall be terminated with immediate effect without penalty between Vodafone and you.

22.  The Service Installation will be completed by the Vodafone Agents. Vodafone does not accept any liability whatsoever for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises during the Service Installation.

23.  You acknowledge that your power supply may be interrupted during the installation process. Furthermore during the provisioning of a Service you may experience a temporary loss of existing services and Vodafone shall not be held liable to you for any losses or damages howsoever arising during such period.

24.  Please note you will be liable to pay a cancellation/penalty charge to Vodafone in each of the following cases;

    a. If you have not provided the necessary cancellation notice period in respect of the scheduled Service Installation Appointment (i.e. Up to 5pm of the previous working day) or do not answer your phone within 10 minutes of the scheduled Service Installation Appointment;

    b. If the Vodafone Agents cannot gain access to the Premises due to a 3rd party access issue, for example within an apartment block;

    c. If you refuse to allow the Vodafone Agents onto your property on the agreed appointment date;

    d. In the event an extension kit is required and the Premises has not been cleared for the Vodafone Agents to work. This can include the removal of furniture or carpet etc.

    e. Where the environment is considered dangerous or unsafe to the Vodafone Agents, the works may not proceed but the cancellation/penalty charge may be levied regardless.

THE SERVICES

25.  After installation has been completed, Vodafone will provide the Services in accordance with this Agreement.

26.  In supplying the Services, Vodafone will use reasonable skill and care but cannot guarantee fault free performance. Vodafone does not warrant that the Services will be suitable for specific customer applications, that the operation of the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free or that the Services will support or be compatible with any applications or other services which the Customer uses in conjunction with the Services.

27.  Due to the wide range of causes of faults, many of them outside of Vodafone’s control, it is not possible for Vodafone to fix a particular fault in a guaranteed timeframe. However, Vodafone will use all reasonable endeavours to repair faults in a timely fashion. There are no compensation and refund arrangements which apply if targeted service quality levels are not met, the service is provided on a best effort basis.

28.  Vodafone reserves the right, at its discretion and without prejudice to any other provisions of this Agreement, to issue such reasonable instructions concerning the use of the Services as it considers necessary in the interests of safety, quality of the Services, other customers or telecommunications services as a whole. Vodafone may also issue details as to minimum system requirements.

29.  Vodafone may modify the standard settings and/or features of the Services to offer additional services or value to a Customer’s Services or tariff plan from time to time.

30.  Vodafone shall make reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorised access to the Services by third parties but shall have no liability to the Customer for any loss or damage caused by unauthorised third party access to Services or the Equipment.

FAIR USAGE

31.  Vodafone operates a fair usage policy (FUP). It is important to Vodafone that all eligible Vodafone customers are able to access our Services. Accordingly, we have devised a FUP which applies to all our Services. Vodafone may rely on this fair use policy where your usage of the Services is excessive or unreasonable as detailed in this paragraph. Vodafone has developed a threshold for the Services and the related tariffs by reference to average customer profiles and estimated customer usage of the Services (particularly the estimated volume and length of calls likely to be made and data used by end users) (the “Threshold”). If, at the absolute discretion of Vodafone, Vodafone is of the opinion, that your usage of the Services materially exceeds the Threshold over any month, Vodafone may contact you to advise you that your usage exceeds its fair use policy. If the excessive usage continues to exceed the Threshold after receipt of a request to desist from or alter the nature of such usage, Vodafone reserves the right to charge you for the excessive element of your usage at your price plan's standard rate or to suspend, at its absolute discretion, modify or restrict your use of the Service or to withdraw your access to the Services entirely.

SUSPENSION OF THE SERVICE

32.  You agree that from time to time it may be necessary for Vodafone to temporarily suspend the Services during periods of repair, essential maintenance or alteration or improvement to the Services or otherwise in accordance with the law.

33.  Vodafone may immediately, without notice, temporarily bar, suspend, restrict, and/or disconnect your use of the Services (collectively “Suspension”) wholly or partially for any valid reason, including without limitation, where:

    a. you fail to pay any Charges set out in this Agreement

    b. you fail to observe any other term or obligation set out herein or any relevant law; or

    c. you engage in any activity (or permits any activity) which Vodafone (as in its discretion shall determine) considers:

  i. to be contrary to existing legislation or regulations applicable to provision of the Services or

  ii. is or is likely to have an adverse impact on the quality of the Services or the integrity of the Services.

34.  Vodafone shall use reasonable endeavours to contact you, but shall not be obliged to contact you, prior to any such suspension of the Services.

35.  Vodafone shall be entitled to maintain suspension of the Services until any breach outlined in Clause 33 is remedied to Vodafone’s’ satisfaction.

36.  VODAFONE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CHARGE A RECONNECTION FEE, AS SET OUT IN THE TARIFF SHEET, ON RECONNECTION OF A CUSTOMER FOLLOWING ANY TEMPORARY PERIOD OF SUSPENSION PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 33.

37.  Vodafone may suspend the Services from time to time, without liability or notice, for the alteration, improvement or maintenance of the Services and/or where it is required to do so in compliance with any regulatory, government or legal requirement.

38.  Where your Services are suspended in accordance with the above, any request for changes to the Services (including upgrades/downgrades or cessation) shall not be possible.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

55.  On termination of this Agreement, cancellation of any Service or on receipt of any replacement Equipment, where the requirement for a particular piece of Equipment which was necessary for the provision of such Service is no longer necessary, you shall within fourteen (14) days of the date of such termination, cancellation or receipt of replacement Equipment, return the required Equipment to Vodafone.

56.  VODAFONE WILL ARRANGE FOR A COURIER TO COLLECT THE REQUIRED EQUIPMENT. IF YOU MISS YOUR EQUIPMENT COLLECTION OR REPLACEMENT APPOINTMENT YOU MAY BE CHARGED AN EQUIPMENT NON-RETURN FEE.
