1. The Service and who can get it

1.2. The Call Service includes both the Call Service and the Line Rental Service.

1.3. The Broadband Service is a fibre-based broadband service, unless you are using our 4g service.

1.4. The details of your normally available download and upload speed will have been provided to you at the point of sale.

1.5. Your actual speeds are likely to be lower because they are influenced by factors including: the quality of internal phone wiring, if you're using a fixed or wireless connection, faulty equipment, Network capacity, the number of Customers on the Network and Network coverage when using our 4g service.

1.6. The Service is for residential use only and not for business use.

1.7. The Service will be provided at your Address. This Address must be within the United Kingdom. You must be the account holder for your household’s existing telecommunications services or be authorised by the account holder to register for the Service. You can only have one Rolling Term Contract or Fixed Term Contract per Address. If you use the Call Service, the telephone line will be provided on one line at your Address unless we tell you otherwise. If you change your Address you must contact us by logging into your Leo Broadband account.

1.8. To enter into a Contract with Leo Broadband you must be 18 years old or over.

1.9. In respect of a Rolling Term Contract, the Service is subject to a one-month rolling contract and you can cancel at any time after the first month by giving us 30 days' written notice (subject to termination requirements as set out in Condition 9).

1.10. In respect of a Fixed Term Contract, you can cancel at any time by giving 30 days’ written notice, but you may incur an Early Termination Charge if you cancel before the end of the Fixed Term in accordance with Condition 9.3 (subject to termination requirements set out in Condition 9).

1.11. When we provide you with the Service, we will use reasonable skill and care, but we cannot guarantee that the Service will never be faulty. This is because the Network, which allows you to access the Service, may be provided by other third party companies over which we do not have control.

1.12. By purchasing services from Leo Broadband, you agree to manage your account online and pay by direct debit. This allows us to pass on lower costs to you. If you're unable to use our online service due to reasons we determine, acting reasonably, are beyond your control, you will in no way be penalised.

Availability of the Broadband Service only

1.13. Availability of Products (including our 4G Wi-Fi Bolt-On product) will vary depending on the location of your Address. In order to provide you with the Broadband Service under a Fibre & Calls Plan, we need to test your telephone line to ensure that broadband is available in your area. You are responsible for paying for any work that needs to be carried out on your telephone line past the master socket in your Address in order to receive the Broadband Service under a Fibre & Calls Plan. When we activate your Broadband Service under a Fibre & Calls Plan you accept that there may be a temporary loss of your telephone line – this is usually no more than 4 hours.

Availability of the Call Service only in respect of a Fibre & Calls Plan

1.14. Conditions 1.15 to 1.24 (inclusive) apply only in respect of a Fibre & Calls Plan.

1.15. Under a Fibre & Calls Plan, you must have a working telephone line in your home. If you don’t have a working compatible telephone line, we may arrange for a new telephone line to be installed or an existing telephone line to be activated (“New Phone Line”) and you will usually be charged a new line fee (“New Line Install Fee”) of £99.00. The New Line Install Fee will be charged in accordance with the Price List as published on the day you order your New Phone Line. Your New Line Install Fee will be applied to your first or second bill. Leo will not install or arrange for the installation of a New Phone Line where extensive new line construction over and above standard needs is required.

1.16. On receipt of your application to receive the Service, and provided you are eligible, we will begin switching your telephone services to our Call Service. We will notify you in writing of the estimated activation date for your Call Service. If you have an existing compatible line, this normally takes 10 working days (14 days) from the date when the order is accepted. If we are unable to make the switch for any reason we will contact you. If you require a new line to be set up, and we agree to do this for you, your Call Service will normally take approximately 10 working days to be activated from the date you place your Order.

1.17. You will be able to access the emergency services using 999 or 112 if you have the Call Service in place, except where you are using a cordless handset and the power supply is interrupted. When you call these numbers, we will give them information about your location so they can find you if they need to (known as ‘caller location information’).

1.18. If your telephone line is faulty, you will need to contact Customer Services, using the details set out in the "How to contact us" section at the start of these Conditions, to arrange repair and maintain the line and/or connection in accordance with this Contract.

Directories

1.19. Unless you tell us otherwise, you agree that we can give your name, address and phone number to regulated providers of directory services (so your details can be included in phone books and be found using publicly available directory enquiry services).

1.20. You agree that we are not liable if we provide any information about you to an authorised provider of public communications services or a regulated provider of directory services, and they make a mistake with listing your details (although we can tell you about other options that are available to protect and control how your information is used).

International and premium rate access

1.21. You can use the Call Service to make international calls. However, calls to some or all international or premium rate numbers may be barred. Please refer to the Price List for details.

Use of indirect access codes

1.22. You cannot elect to use indirect access codes (prefix numbers) to facilitate using another provider for some or all of your calls. If you endeavour to do so, we reserve the right to restrict or disconnect your Service.

Your telephone number

1.23. You accept that you do not own any telephone number we make available to you under your Contract. You agree not to sell or transfer to any other person any number provided to you or to advertise it in or on a BT phone box.

1.24. You may request us to ‘port’ (transfer) your existing number from another communications provider and we will try to do this wherever it is reasonably practicable. If this is not reasonably practicable, we will provide you with a new number. We will notify you before we change your telephone number.

2. Using the Service

2.2. The Service is for residential use. It must not be used for any commercial or business purposes or for any activities not reasonably expected of someone using the Service for residential domestic purposes unless agreed by Leo.

2.3. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services, or anyone you authorise to use the Services, must be in compliance with any relevant laws that apply and the terms set out in this Condition 2.

2.4. You will be registered as the primary user but you can nominate additional users to manage your account provided they are members of your household and they consent.

2.5. You must comply with any instructions we give you about the Service and you acknowledge that we, our authorised contractors or our agents may give you instructions from time to time which we (or they) believe are necessary for the health, safety or quality of other telecommunications services provided to you by us.

2.6. You, and anyone you authorise to use the Service, must not use the Service:

2.6.1. to download, possess or transmit in any way, illegal material;

2.6.2. to engage in criminal, illegal or unlawful activities;

2.6.3. to send or procure the sending of any unsolicited advertising or promotional material;

2.6.4. to violate or infringe the rights or property of any person, including rights of copyright and any other intellectual property rights, privacy or confidentiality;

2.6.5. to artificially inflate traffic, send, communicate, knowingly receive, upload or download data or make any calls in such a way or in such amount that you know or ought reasonably to know may have a material adverse effect on the integrity of the Network (or any part of it) or impact on other customers’ services;

2.6.6. for any purpose which we may reasonably notify you of, from time to time, due to the introduction of new legislation or applicable regulations; or

2.6.7. other than in accordance with this Condition and, where relevant any internet standards.

2.7. We make every effort to ensure the security of your communications using the Service. You are however advised that for reasons beyond our control, there is a risk that your communications may be unlawfully intercepted or accessed by those other than the intended recipient. For example, your communications may pass over third party networks over which we have no control and if you are connected to an analogue network, there is no protection for your communications over the air interface. If you are connected to a digital network, your communications over the air interface with our systems are encrypted providing a greater level of protection, but even this cannot be guaranteed.

2.8. The Service is also provided to other users and we owe a duty to our Customers as a whole to preserve our Network integrity and to avoid Network degradation. Accordingly, if, in our reasonable opinion, we consider it necessary to maintain Network integrity or prevent Network degradation we may change your Service, (including without limitation, your broadband Transmission Speed) or manage your use of, or access to the Service as we see fit in the circumstances. These reasons include but are not limited to, any circumstances where you are running an application or program that places excessive bandwidth demands on the Broadband Service for continued periods.

2.9. We may modify or temporarily suspend the Service, or part of it, to the extent necessary for us to carry out maintenance, technical repair, enhancement or emergency work. We will try to minimise the impact of this on your use of the Service and we will restore the Service to you as soon as we can. Where possible, we will endeavour to notify you of such activities in advance.

2.10. We reserve the right to investigate any suspected violations of this Condition 2.

2.11. If you or an individual who you have knowingly or unknowingly allowed to access our Services act in breach of Condition 2, we may without prior notice:

2.11.1. issue a formal warning to you, specifying a breach of this Condition and requesting that you comply with its terms;

2.11.2. temporarily restrict or suspend your access to any of the Service;

2.11.3. terminate your account; and/or

2.11.4. take any other reasonable action.

Use of the Broadband Service

2.12. We may require you to reimburse us for any reasonable and foreseeable losses, costs and expenses which we incur as a direct result of the misuse of the Broadband Service or the Router or other equipment provided by us or on our behalf for use in conjunction with the Broadband Service by you or anyone you have allowed to use the Broadband Service.

2.13. Under a Fibre & Calls Plan, if your Call Service is disconnected for any reason, you will lose your connection to the Broadband Service and there may be a delay in being reconnected to the Broadband Service. If a re-connection fee is payable, we will tell you the amount of this fee before charging you. You will be charged for the Broadband Service throughout this period, unless the disconnection or delay in reconnection has been caused by us, our authorised contractors, or our agents.

2.14. In addition to Condition 2.6, you must not use the Broadband Service:

2.14.1. to intentionally impair or attempt to impair, without authorisation, the operation of any computer, prevent or hinder access to any program or data held in any computer or to impair the operation of any such program or the reliability of any such data; or

2.14.2. to prevent legitimate users from using or enjoying the benefit of the Broadband Service or any other similar service, including but not limited to, attempts to 'flood' the Network or to disrupt users from connecting to, accessing or using the Broadband Service (also referred to as Denial of Service Attacks); or

2.14.3. for the purposes of intrusion, or attempts to intrude, into the equipment and systems of any third party, or the mounting of any harassment campaign, including Denial of Service Attacks.

2.15. We recommend that you install your own security software as we do not provide anti-virus software as part of the Broadband Service. Leo is not responsible for any consequences of your failure to employ appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access by any third party to the Broadband Service.

Use of the 4G Dongle/Service Wi-Fi Bolt-On

It is your responsibility to ensure that such modifications do not invalidate the terms of any warranty that you may have concerning your computer.

We shall communicate this date to you, but please note that if you have purchased the 4g Wi-Fi Bolt-On, this will not be the date you activate and starting using the Dongle, but it will be the date your Router “goes live”. After the Minimum Period, this Rolling Term Contract will continue on a monthly basis until either you or we end it in accordance with the terms of this Contract.

Fixed Term Contracts

9.2. Where you enter a Fixed Term Contract with us, your Contract will continue until the end of the Fixed Term unless either you or we end the Fixed Term Contract early.

9.3. If you end a Fixed Term Contract before the end of the Fixed Term and;

9.3.1. we are not in material breach of these Conditions; and

9.3.2. you do have a right to terminate your Fixed Term Contract as described in Condition 8.2 or Condition 9.8,

then we will charge you an Early Termination Charge (details of which are set out in our Price List).

9.4. At least 30 days before the end of your Fixed Term Contract, we will send you a notification via email, confirming the date on which we will automatically extend the terms of your Fixed Term Contract as a Rolling Term Contract.

9.5. When you enter into a new Rolling Term Contract under Condition 9.4, you can cancel this Rolling Term Contract at any time by giving us 30 days' written notice without incurring any Early Termination Charges, but you'll have to pay us the full cost of the Services you've received.

Cooling Off Period

9.6. Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (the "Regulations"), you have the right to cancel your Order, for any reason, within the first 14 days from the day after the day on which this Contract has been entered into ("Cooling-off Period"). You can do this by contacting us, using any of the details set out in the "How to contact us" section at the start of these conditions.

9.8. If you exercise your right of cancellation in accordance with Condition 9.6, this Contract will come to an end and we will reimburse to you all payments received from you for your Service, other than as set out in Condition 9.9.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment you use to pay for your Order, unless you expressly agree otherwise.

9.9. If you request that we provide the Services during the Cooling-off Period and we've already started providing the Service by the time you cancel it, you'll have to pay us the full cost of the Services you've received which may include a disconnection fee for any work that may have been done at your home or local exchange.

9.10. If you cancel a Service within your Cooling-off Period and we've provided you with a Router or a Dongle, you must return the Router/the Dongle (including all cables and software that came with them) to us within 14 days of the cancellation date using the pre-paid returns envelope which we will provide you with. We will accept proof of postage as proof that you have sent us the Router and (if applicable) the Dongle. If you fail to return the Router and the Dongle in accordance with this Condition or the Router or the Dongle is faulty or damaged we may charge you, using the payment method you registered with us, for the full cost of the Router or Dongle (as applicable), as set out in the Price List. This may be more than the price you paid for the Router or (if applicable) the Dongle initially. If the Router and (if applicable) the Dongle is returned we will refund you for amounts already paid for the Router and (if applicable) the Dongle. We reserve the right to reduce the refund if there is any damage or if the value of the Router or (if applicable) the Dongle is less than the original charge.

Suspension and Termination

9.12. If we suspend your Service pursuant to Condition 9.11, your Contract will still continue and you shall reimburse us our costs and expenses reasonably incurred in restricting the Service and/or recommencing them.

9.18.2. we have reasonable grounds to suspect fraud or any other unauthorised activity;

9.18.3. you breach this Contract and we waive your breach, or if we suspend your Service in accordance with Condition 9.11 and you breach the Contract again or act in a way which gives rise to the right for us to suspend your Service in accordance with Condition 9.11 again;

9.18.5. if at any anytime our Network Partners cease to provide services such that we are unable to continue to provide any of the Services to you (for example if the Service has been used contrary to the obligations set out at Condition 2),

we will not refund any Charges or other payments made under this Contract if we end this Contract under this Condition 9.18.
