If you decide to cancel any element of the Services, you will still be liable for the balance on your account including, but not limited to, any Charges due under this Agreement up to the date of termination.
f. After the Minimum Period has expired, if you terminate this Agreement or any of the Services between the dates when we issue bills to you, you must pay all Charges which have accrued since the last bill was calculated and the proportion of any Service charges which have accrued up to the next billing date.
g. Our Charges are based upon payment by credit card, debit card or direct debit. It is your responsibility to provide us with updated credit card, debit card and direct debit information in a timely manner to allow us to collect any and all on-going Charges. If we are unable to receive payment for the Charges via such means, you consent to us collecting payment by any other method, including the use of other direct payment methods or other information that you have already provided to us.
h. Save as expressly set out in this Agreement, you shall not be entitled to suspend any payments under this Agreement, as a result of faults and/or defects of the Service.

a. You agree to abide by the terms of the fair use policy of your chosen network:
1. Tooway/Konnect
2. SES
b. In supplying the Services we will use reasonable skill and care but we are unable to guarantee fault free performance. We do not warrant or guarantee that the operation of the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, error free or secure or that the Services will meet any of your specific requirements. You acknowledge that we will not be responsible for unforeseen interruptions or non-availability from outages or deterioration of the Services or Equipment that occur which are out of our control.
c. We will endeavour to correct reported faults as soon as reasonably possible. The Service is distributed on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.
d. The service is a “high-latency” service because the satellites that deliver it are in geo-stationary orbit some 22,300 miles above the earth. Typical latency is of the order of 500 – 900ms although higher ping times are not uncommon. This high latency means a satellite service will be slower to respond than the equivalent terrestrial service – although when it does, the speed will be high. It is not suitable for applications such as gaming where low latency is required.

a. We may at any time:
1. Temporarily suspend the Services for repair, maintenance or improvement of any of our systems wherever located, or temporarily provide replacement Services or Equipment of a similar functionality to those previously supplied; or

b. We will endeavour to give you as much notice as is reasonably practicable, and will give you at least a month’s notice, prior to such suspension and we will aim to restore the Services as soon as reasonably practicable after any temporary suspension.
c. We may suspend our Services without warning:
1. On the occurrence of an Excluded Risk;
2. In an emergency;
3. When we are required to by any third party whose systems we use to provide the Services;

5. If you, your employees/users/a third party given access to the Services by you, do not comply with the conditions of this Agreement, or any other agreement with us;
6. If you, your employees/users/a third party given access to the Services by you damages the Equipment;
7. If you physically or verbally threaten or abuse any of our staff;
8. If you do not pay all Charges due to us by the Due Date; or
9. If you breach this Agreement.
d. We reserve the right to Charge you a re-connection fee where you or your employees/users either acting themselves or through a third party, have caused or contributed to the suspension of the Services.
10. ENDING THE AGREEMENT – TERMINATION

1. The other breaches an important clause or condition of this Agreement or several less important clauses or conditions and (if the breach is capable of being put right) does not put it right within 21 days of written notice to do so;
2. If the other is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar proceedings or, in the reasonable opinion of the party terminating the Agreement, the other is unable to pay its debts;
b. Either we or you can terminate this Agreement following the expiry of the Minimum Period, subject to the provision of 30 days’ written notice. That 30 day notice period can expire on or after the end of the Minimum Period.
c. Cease Charge: If you are a Konnect Subscriber and terminate this Agreement during the Minimum Period (other than when you have a right to end the Services without incurring a penalty), you shall be required to pay a cease charge. The cease charge is the cost payable by us to the wholesale satellite provider when we cancel your subscription. The cease charge payable will be half your monthly tariff for every month remaining in the Minimum Period.
The cease charges will not be more than the charges you would have paid for your chosen Services for the remainder of the Minimum Term less any costs we save, including the cost of no longer providing you with Services, and less the benefit to us in receiving payment early. Unless you tell us otherwise, we may charge your cease charge directly to any of the credit or debit cards which you have provided us with details of (e.g. when you paid for the Services or Installation) or via your direct debit. We will give you reasonable notice before making any charge.
d. You may terminate this Agreement under clause 10a in writing to us at the address set out in clause 19a or by contacting us here.
e. We may also terminate this Agreement:
1. if you fail to pay any Charges within 14 days of the Due Date; or
2. if the satellite operator is unable or unwilling to make such Services available to us, providing we give you at least 30 days’ written notice.
f. At the end of the Agreement you:
1. must pay any valid Charges that are due to the end of the month following the month in which notice of termination is served;
2. must return any of our Equipment that we have asked you to return or you may be liable for the charged detailed in clause 5(e) (1); and
3. will be disconnected from the Services and will no longer be able to use the Services.

a. This clause 11 only applies if you are a consumer.
b.

This must be done in writing to the address set out in clause 19a or by informing us by telephone or email (the “Cancellation Notice”). On the expiry of the Cooling Off Period, no Cancellation Notice may be given and any such notice will be deemed to be a termination of this Agreement during the Minimum Period (see clause 10).
c. If you cancel your Order after any or all of the Equipment has been delivered to you, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Equipment to us and, if necessary, the de-installation of any installed Equipment in accordance with our Published Prices. As we may offer subsidies or special offers on the Equipment or our Installation Charges, the de-installation charges may be more than you paid for initial Installation.
d. Where the Equipment or any relevant part of the Service has been activated prior to our receipt of a Cancellation Notice, you will be liable for any Charges associated with any Services provided to you up to the point of cancellation including any activation Charges. All valid Charges will be deducted from any refunds due to you.
e. After the Equipment is returned to us we will promptly test and inspect the Equipment. If any Equipment is reasonably deemed by us to be damaged or in any other way faulty (not being damaged by us or a result of manufacturing defect), we will raise a Charge equivalent to the reduction in value of the Equipment whether by way of replacement or repair, whichever is the lower.
f. We will provide you with a final invoice detailing any Charges, including any applicable Equipment Charges under clause 5(e) (1), arising and any net balance due to us or payable to you.
