GLOSSARY
1. BECOMING AN INTERNETTY FTTP CUSTOMER
1.1 You are becoming a customer of Internetty Ltd whose details are stated above. Internetty Ltd is a provider of Full Fibre (FTTP) Broadband services in the UK. Internetty Ltd builds and operates our own network and therefore we have full control of the service we offer and can make Full Fibre broadband affordable.
1.2 You must be over 18 years old to enter into this Agreement. The address stated on the order is the location where our Service will be installed and activated for your use. The Agreement cannot be transferred to any other address or another individual.
1.3 You must be the current occupier of the property and have the permission of the property owner for us to install the Internetty Ltd Services at your address. You must provide access to your property if this is necessary for us to provide our services.
1.4 Agreement start date. The agreement starts when you sign up for Internetty Ltd broadband service. You have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of signature in which to cancel service without an early termination fee. Offer Terms may have an extended cooling-off period.
The 12-month contractual commitment starts from the date when we connect your service (when your connection goes ‘live’ and we have completed a customer handover or at the point of order cancellation prior to installation).
When you join Internetty Ltd we will agree certain details with you and set them out in your Order Confirmation. This document may include but is not limited to important information such as:
-
Your chosen services and how much this will cost you per month
-
The Minimum Term you have agreed to stay with us
-
The Offer Terms where applicable
-
Additional services you have chosen as part of your package, when they start and end and when you will be charged for these.
1.5 Our website sets out current pricing information and optional services and features that can be added to your package. All these charges will be added to your bill.
1.6 One-off charges. Delivery charges, router fees, connection, activation and installation charges may apply. You will be informed of these charges (if they apply) when you order the Services.
1.7 You will take a Home Broadband Service or a Business Broadband Service, and this will be stated clearly in your Service Confirmation. You must not use Home Broadband Services wholly or mainly for business purposes without seeking prior permission.
2. COOLING-OFF PERIOD
2.1 Your legal right to cancel a service starts the moment you enter into the agreement and lasts 14 days.
This cooling-off period does not affect your right to cancel as a result of problems with your broadband speed, as set out in paragraph 4.9.
2.2 Waiving your cooling-off period. If you make an express request for work to begin early, you cannot cancel without liability.
2.3 If the Service you are cancelling is a package change, a re-contract or an add-on to an existing Agreement, upon cancelling the Service we reserve the right to move you back to your previous Agreement terms or to the closest matching service.
3. SERVICE INSTALLATION AND SETUP
3.1 Internetty Ltd Services will be supplied using a fibre optic cable all the way from the Internetty Ltd exchange point to your premises. This is called Fibre to the Premises (“FTTP”), or Full Fibre.
3.2 Installation Demarcation Point. Internetty Ltd will install your fibre connection to the outside of your premises, to a position known as the Installation Demarcation Point. For information on where this Demarcation Point is typically located please contact our Support team. Residential customers are responsible for any damages to cabling and/or equipment after the Installation Demarcation point. See section 3.14.
3.3 The Electronic Communications Code. We provide our Services over Electronic Communications Apparatus, including fibre optic cables and related equipment, which is placed in the public highway and in private property using rights granted to Internetty Ltd as a Code Operator under the part of the telecommunications legislation known as the Electronic Communications Code.
3.4 Order to installation timing. We want your Services to be up and running as soon as possible after we receive your order. Internetty Ltd endeavours to complete your external within four to eight weeks where your address is within reach of our network. Some may take longer for reasons that cannot reasonably be anticipated, such as blockages within the existing underground ducts in which your fibre optic cable will be installed or your address is part of a phase rollout plan. We will always keep you updated on the progress of your installation via email.
3.5 Access to the Installation Demarcation Point. You must ensure that there are no obstructions outside that will prevent access to the Installation Demarcation Point on your installation date and thereafter. If the existing route to the property from the proposed Installation Demarcation Point is obstructed for any reason, Internetty Ltd reserves the right to change the Installation Demarcation Point to the boundary of the property or to where Internetty Ltd sees best fit for installation.
3.6 The internal installation options. You have two options for the internal installation, which extends the fibre optic connection cable from the Installation Demarcation Point to a suitable location inside your premises for your customer premises equipment: 1) Independent Installation; or 2) Internetty Ltd Approved Installation.
3.7 Independent Installation. You, or an appropriate service provider that you have chosen and commissioned, will carry out the work to connect from the Installation Demarcation Point on the outside of your premises to the required location for your terminating equipment inside your property. You must read the Installation Guide we provide carefully before attempting the internal installation. You must not attempt to connect your modem and router boxes yourself; this must be done by a qualified Internetty Ltd installation technician once your internal installation is complete. The fibre optic cable is designed to be appropriately robust, however, it is protecting very delicate glass fibre strands and therefore needs to be handled with care. If you damage the cable or other equipment you will be charged for replacements.
3.8 Internetty Ltd Approved Installation. The charge for Internetty Ltd approved installation is otherwise agreed with us based on your requirements.
-
You, or another person authorised by you who is over 18 years old, will need to be present.
-
Your internal installation will be carried out by one of our own Internetty Ltd installation teams. All Installation Technicians work to our agreed standards using our approved equipment.
-
On the installation day and prior to commencing the installation, the technician will ask you to agree with the route of the installation from the Installation Demarcation Point to the location of the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), which will usually be within the same room in which the fibre enters the premises. Installations requiring the location of the CPE to be in a different room to the Installation Demarcation Point are usually classed as Non-standard Installations, see section 3.9.
-
Up to a maximum of 15m of internal fibre cabling will be provided to place the internal connection socket in a suitable location. Installations requiring over 15m of fibre cabling are usually classed as Non-standard Installations, see section 3.9.
-
The technician will drill a hole through your external wall, adjacent to the Installation Demarcation Point, and then take the cable from that point to the agreed location for the internal connection socket. The technician will connect your equipment, activate your Service and test the Service to ensure that the installation has been carried out correctly. (Sometimes we may agree to complete the installation prior to your activation date.)
-
Your internal installation works carry a 1-year warranty against defects but not damage.
-
All cabling will be surface mounted on the most appropriate surface and with due care. By purchasing an Internetty Ltd Approved Installation, you accept liability for any minor cosmetic damage or damage to decorative finishes that may result from the installation.
-
We are not liable for business losses. We will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity in relation to your installation service.
-
Your technician will carry out a risk assessment before commencing any work. Please note the following safety rules which apply to all installations:
Technicians are not permitted to work at any premises unless a person over the age of 18 years and authorised by the Account Holder is present.
-
Technicians are not permitted to enter loft spaces or eaves cupboards unless they are correctly boarded and have a walk-in entrance and are not permitted to work in confined spaces.
-
Technicians are not permitted to use your ladders, stepladders, access equipment or tools.
-
Technicians are not permitted to lend their tools or equipment to you to complete parts of the job or any other work.
-
Technicians cannot disturb or work in the vicinity of areas where they believe that asbestos is present.
-
Technicians are not permitted to work above a height of 5m.
-
Technicians are not permitted to access flat roofs or roof structures.
-
Technicians cannot access underground structures, spaces, excavations, lift floorboards or drill through floors.
-
Technicians are not permitted to move your furniture.
-
Technicians are not able to perform specialist trenching or to install cables overhead.
Any specific installations within the above categories will require a specialist trained technician and may carry an additional fee as detailed in section 3.9
3.9 Non-standard installations. A standard installation is one that follows the conditions set out in Section 3.8. If your requirements are not met by the standard installation then you must accept the charges for engineering time and the cable required to meet the non-standard specification (which we will quote to supply), alternatively, customers can opt for an Independent Installation and find a suitable trades-person, who can complete the work for you.
3.10 Installation damage to your property. We will make good any damage to your property caused by us while installing your service. However, we are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your property that we discover while providing the installation services. Internetty Ltd is not liable for minor cosmetic damage/chips or damage to decorative finishes that may result from the installation.
3.11 FTTP Service Activation. If you have purchased the Internetty Ltd Approved Installation, the technician will endeavour to connect your router and modem and activate the service during the same appointment as the internal installation. If you have opted for the Independent Installation, you will need to arrange an appointment for the connection of your router and modem by booking an appointment on the Internetty Ltd website or by calling our Support Team, before you can use your Service.
3.12 The Setup Fee is collected during the signup process.
3.13 Damage to the cable or equipment (Residential Service). For the duration of this Agreement, if for any reason the cable or equipment beyond the Installation Demarcation Point is damaged and needs replacing, you will be liable for all fees including engineer call-out charges. You are also responsible for the upkeep of equipment from the Installation Demarcation Point onwards.
3.14 Damage to the cable or equipment (Business Service). For the duration of this Agreement, Internetty Ltd will take responsibility for any damages that may occur to the cable or equipment up to the Service Demarcation Point (CPE). You are also responsible for the upkeep of equipment and cabling after the Service Demarcation Point. See section 4.1.
4. DURING YOUR AGREEMENT WITH US
4.1 Service Demarcation Point. It is important to know where the responsibility for the Service is handed over from Internetty Ltd to you. All service issues beyond the Internetty Ltd Service Demarcation Point are the responsibility of the customer. The Service Demarcation Point is the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) supplied by Internetty Ltd, with the CPE connected to the external fibre (the Installation Demarcation Point), which is usually on the wall external to the property, using an Internetty Ltd fibre patch lead. The CPE is Internetty Ltd’s responsibility if in warranty and reset to the current standard settings as recommended by Internetty Ltd.
Please see sections 3.13 & 3.14 for clarifications on responsibilities in the event of damage to the cable or equipment (3.13 for residential & 3.14 for business customers)
4.2 Service availability. We do not commit to providing Internetty Ltd Services until we have successfully completed our checks and surveys. If the cost of installation and maintenance of the Internetty Ltd Services is excessive we reserve the right not to provide a service to you. Any fees paid for services upfront will be refunded at this point.
4.3 Cancelling your current broadband services. You may wish to cancel your previous broadband services with your service provider if the services are no longer needed. You must cancel these yourself directly with your service provider unless you agree to use the Internetty Migration Service. We advise that you do not cancel any agreements until the Internetty Ltd Services are successfully activated. If you do not cancel your previous agreements, you will continue to be charged by both Internetty Ltd and your previous service provider(s).
4.4 Using the Services. Internetty Ltd Home Broadband Services are supplied only for non-commercial use unless agreed upon prior to installation. You must have an Internetty Ltd Business Services Agreement for a broadband service that is used wholly or mainly for business purposes. All Services are supplied in accordance with our Fair and Acceptable Use Policy.
4.5 Restrictions. You are responsible for other people that use your equipment and Services. You must not use our Services in any way that is unlawful or illegal with respect to the laws and regulations in force in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, you must not use our Services in any way that is to the detriment of other Internet users. For more information on using our Services and restrictions please review our Fair and Acceptable Use Policy. You agree to take responsibility for all liabilities, claims and losses which are in any way connected with misusing the Services supplied under this Agreement, and you agree to indemnify us if we suffer any losses as a result of your misuse of our service.
4.6 Downloading third-party content. A copyright owner’s permission may be required for downloading protected content. Downloading protected content without the copyright owner’s consent may constitute a criminal offence. Please see our Fair and Acceptable Use Policy.
4.7 Broadband Speed. We aim to supply the broadband speed that you have purchased. Most customers receive this full speed, measured in Mbit/s, at any time of the day, any day of the week. We guarantee to deliver this speed between your Internetty Exchange Point and your Service Demarcation Point within a 20% tolerance for ethernet-connected devices at the advertised average speed of your chosen package. Please note that devices connected by Wi-Fi to your router may not experience the full speed capability, either because of the physical limitations of wireless connections or because your device may not be compatible with ultrafast speeds.
4.8 Factors that affect broadband speed within the premises. Upload and download speeds can be affected by the environment within the premises, including:
-
The type of connection between the router and your devices – wired connections are far more reliable than wireless (Wi-Fi) connections.
-
The capability of your device or computer.
-
The number of connected devices in your premises.
-
The internal environment within your home or business premises.
4.9 Problems with broadband speed. If after your Service is activated you are consistently receiving broadband speeds lower than the product speed you purchased, please contact us so we can try to help. If, after following our recommendations, the speed being delivered between the Internetty Exchange Point to your Service Demarcation Point is still more than 50% lower than the advertised average product speed you purchased within the first 30-days, you can end the Agreement without paying Early Termination Charges. However, we will not refund you for your use of our Service during the period between your Service Activation Date and you ending the Agreement. Internetty does offer Dedicated Bandwidth Services. The dedicated terms and conditions for these services will be made available upon request.
4.10 Disruption to Services. To protect the network and its customers, Internetty Ltd will act to restrict your use of Internetty Ltd Services or equipment where it suspects that the use has contravened its Fair and Acceptable Use Policy, or where Internetty Ltd suspects that your equipment has been infected by a software virus or similar, or where Internetty Ltd suspects a Home Broadband Service is being used wholly or mainly for business purposes. These restrictions will help protect your own network and Internetty Ltd’s network.
4.11 Upgrade. If you request an upgrade or a renewal of your Agreement with us and we agree, you may need to agree to a new Minimum Term and you will need to pay the new charges applicable to that Agreement. Your new Minimum Term will not start until your new Service Activation Date. Some of our services offer a flexible upgrade option which will not affect your minimum term and can be processed online via your My Account area.
4.12 Changes to your terms, services or charges. We may change the Agreement, our Services, or charges at any time, and we will tell you beforehand. Charges for additional services may change from time to time and may be outside Internetty Ltd’s control so you will need to check our website for the latest prices. If we make changes we’ll tell you at least 30 days in advance by email or post of the changes happening, except where:
-
The change is for legal or regulatory reasons.
-
It’s a change that does not cause you any material disadvantage, but we’ll still let you know about the change (for example by updating this page or publishing details on our website).
4.13 Your right to make changes. If you wish to make a change to the Service(s) which you have ordered, please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If the change is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the Service, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the Agreement (see Section 11) but Early Termination Charge(s) may apply as set out on our website.
4.14 IP Address. Internetty Ltd supplies the use of IP addresses to its customers and Internetty Ltd owns these IP addresses. Home and Business Broadband Services uses Carrier Grade NAT (CGN) (RFC6598) and IPv6 DHCP as default but can if needed get a public IPV4 through DHCP ( Some Home and Business Broadband Services can also order static IPv4 addresses separately. The price for a static IPv4 address can be found on our website. We reserve the right to recall or change our IP addresses after the term of the Agreement has finished or for technical reasons. We will give 90 days notice to the customer in this instance.
5. YOUR CUSTOMER PREMISES EQUIPMENT (CPE)
5.1 Equipment supply. We usually supply 1 modem and 1 standard wireless router under this Agreement or a combined fibre modem + router, and the cost of these is included in your service activation charge unless otherwise stated. We want you to experience the best possible connection quality from your Internetty Ltd Service. We select our equipment carefully, and we regularly test our equipment against other routers on the market. Internetty Ltd only selects equipment that has comparable performance to the most popular routers but does not guarantee the performance is greater or equal to all routers on the market, or to previous routers you have used. Your Internetty Ltd equipment is supplied under the following terms:
-
The equipment remains Internetty Ltd’s property at all times.
-
If you have a Home Service, you must use the Internetty Ltd Wireless Router and other Internetty Ltd broadband equipment where applicable to receive the Internetty Ltd Services. You must not use any other router without prior permission.
-
If you have a Business Service and you have also taken our Bridging Service option, you may use 3rd party equipment behind an Internetty Ltd-supplied Customer Premises Equipment (CPE).
-
The software in your Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) may be updated periodically. You must allow this software to be updated. Updates will happen automatically at no extra charge. The updates are important to maintain or improve the Internetty Ltd Services quality and security.
-
Internetty Ltd cannot guarantee that third-party equipment will work with the Service and therefore does not accept any liability for the operation of third-party equipment, nor does Internetty Ltd support any third-party equipment.
-
If the Internetty Ltd Services are terminated (by you or us) prior to activation or during the cooling-off period or due to any unavailability issue, you must return the equipment you have received in the manner we request. Failure to return any such equipment when requested to do so may result in charges.
5.2 Care of equipment. You must look after any equipment we provide. We supply instructions for the installation and care of the equipment; you must comply fully with the installation and care instructions and other advice that Internetty Ltd provides you.
5.3 Equipment Warranty. Your Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) is supplied with a warranty against faults arising during the Minimum Term of your Agreement. If you report a fault with your CPE after this Minimum Term you have two options:
-
Upgrade to a higher speed product and/or take out a new Agreement with a new Minimum Term and Internetty Ltd will supply new equipment.
-
Purchase a replacement router from Internetty Ltd. This CPE will have a warranty against faults arising in the first 12 months after supply. See the Price Guide for current replacement CPE prices.
5.4 Not covered by the Warranty. The following are not covered by your Equipment Warranty: Faults arising from misuse, accidental or deliberate damage to your Customer Premises Equipment (CPE); damage arising from use of third-party equipment, extension cables and network equipment; cosmetic damage which does not affect the functionality of your CPE; computer equipment, software and cables that Internetty Ltd did not supply to you and damage caused by events outside the reasonable control of Internetty Ltd or its equipment suppliers.
5.5 Reporting equipment faults. To report a fault with your CPE, please call us. If a reported fault cannot be remedied by our support staff over the phone, then we will replace the equipment within the warranty period. If your CPE is replaced, you must return the faulty equipment in the manner we request.
5.6 Replacement equipment. Any replacement equipment supplied under the Warranty will be new or ‘as new’ (previously used equipment that has been refurbished by the manufacturer or its authorised agent). We will warrant any repair or replacement until the latter end of the original Warranty period or 3 months from the date it was supplied to you.
5.7 Equipment returns. If you are leaving Internetty Ltd before the end of your Minimum Term, your equipment must be sent at your own cost and undamaged and in its original packaging within 14 days of telling us you want to terminate your Agreement. When we receive the equipment, we will refund any equipment charges that you have paid less an appropriate amount (up to the full value of the refund) where the equipment is damaged.
5.8 Equipment upgrades. We may decide to upgrade your equipment as part of our ongoing improvements to the Internetty Ltd Services. Once you have received your replacement equipment, you must return your old equipment to us within 30 days in the manner we request.
5.9 Failure to return any such equipment. Failure to return Internetty Ltd’s equipment, whether in relation to Service termination, Faults, or Upgrades, when requested to do so may result in charges as set out on our website or Service restrictions.
5.10 Damage to equipment or data loss. Whilst any software or security features provided by Internetty Ltd should be effective, we can’t guarantee they always will be. We take care to prevent any software we provide from damaging your equipment or causing a loss of your data or content. You should back up your data to protect against loss or corruption. We can’t be responsible for any such damage, including but not limited to the following situations:
-
You do not follow our instructions when using, downloading or installing our software.
-
The configurations on your device or potential compatibility issues result in problems that we couldn’t reasonably be expected to be aware of.
-
You do not have sufficient protection against computer viruses or fail to keep your anti-virus software up to date.
-
The damage is due to defects in third-party software, content or acts we couldn’t reasonably be expected to be aware of.
6. Paying for the services
6.1 You are responsible for the cost of all charges you incur whilst using the Internetty Ltd Services, whether you, as the account holder, or someone else incurs these costs.
6.2 The Agreement requires you to pay for the monthly Tariff for the duration of the Minimum Term as set out during your order process. The Agreement start date is the date on your Order Confirmation. The Service Activation Date is logged by Internetty Ltd.
6.3 Billing. Your monthly charge is billed for the month ahead unless we say otherwise. Some services are charged at different billing cycles and will be detailed at the point of order.
6.4 Payment method and timing. We will email you each month with your latest bill. You will need to pay for all charges within 14 days of the date of your bill. We ask that you pay by direct debit or online card payment. Where VAT applies it will be included in the charges unless otherwise stated. Internetty Ltd does not accept cheques. Bank Transfer will attract a manual payment processing fee of £5.00 You can request paper copies of past bills for a charge of £3.50 per bill.
6.5 Changes to our prices. All prices are subject to change unless your discounted price is guaranteed in the Offer Terms, upon Internetty Ltd giving not less than thirty days prior written notice to you.
-
We reserve the right to increase out of contract services by a maximum percentage equal to the Retail Price Index (RPI) + 2% of the same year.
-
We may also increase or decrease your charges if required by law or if any regulatory authority requests or requires a change to any aspect of our pricing, including to reflect a change in the rate of VAT or other applicable taxation charge or levy, which affects your Internetty Ltd Services payment. We will use our reasonable endeavours to notify you before any price increase takes effect under this Condition.
6.6 Offer Terms. If you signed up for a discounted package, your Agreement will have Offer Terms. In this case, your discounted price will last for the agreed period of the Offer. Once the Offer Terms period ends you will automatically move to our standard pricing for the package you selected, as defined in the current Price Guide.
6.7 If you think we have made a mistake with our charges. If you think a bill is wrong, please contact us promptly to let us know and we will not charge you interest until we have resolved the issue. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date (if applicable).
7. If you fail to pay
7.1 If you don’t pay your bill, we will send you a letter to remind you to pay. If we don’t receive payment within 7 days of the date of this first reminder we may suspend your Services. If, after a further 7 days, we have still not received payment, we may terminate the Agreement and cease your Internetty Ltd Services. We may ask a debt collection agency to collect the payment on our behalf. If we do, you will also have to pay the reasonable costs incurred for the agency, which the agency will add to your debt.
7.2 Payment failure. If your payment method fails we will re-attempt to take your charge again before your due date without charge, if it continues to fail we will charge a fee of £12 to cover our administrative costs.
7.3 Late payment. If you pay late we’ll charge a 10% Late Payment Fee on the overdue amount and you’ll also need to pay a reasonable administration charge if we don’t receive a payment within 7 days of your reminder letter.
8. Maintaining your service
8.1 Troubleshooting. We aim to deliver a high-quality service, but we cannot guarantee a fault-free Service. When something goes wrong we want to help you restore the Service as quickly as possible. The Support Team will endeavour to identify the cause of the issue over the phone, email, or live chat.
8.2 Wireless interference. Many of the problems experienced with broadband connectivity are caused by using wireless connections within the premises (Wi-Fi). If you experience problems with your broadband quality, our Support team will need you to connect a wired device to the router using an Ethernet lead – this will help them determine whether there is a problem with your Service, or whether the problem is caused by wireless interference between your router and your device(s).
8.3 Service quality. We aim to provide a high-quality, continuous service to the point of entry to your premises. We recommend you use a wired Ethernet connection to your main devices, such as a home computer, wherever possible. We cannot guarantee a high-quality wireless signal from your internal router equipment everywhere within your premises, as the signal quality is affected by factors outside our control. Our Support team can suggest consumer products that have been designed to overcome the issue of wireless distribution within the premises.
8.4 Engineer visits. Occasionally an engineer visit will be necessary to investigate or fix a faulty service. Engineer visits are free of charge if the problem is found to lie within the Internetty Ltd network using an Internetty Ltd computer that has been wired directly into the Service Demarcation Point and with the configuration as described in section 4.1. When you book an engineer visit, we will:
-
Agree to an appointment date and time window with you and will endeavour to contact you a minimum of two working days in advance where reasonably possible if this changes. You can change or cancel any appointment date but you must give us at least two working days’ notice.
-
Explain that you, the account holder, or someone over 18 years with your authorisation to make decisions relating to the fault on your behalf, must be present.
-
Explain and agree with any pre-requisite requirements for the premises to ensure that the engineer can carry out the work.
-
Explain that we can’t determine whether an engineer visit will be chargeable until the visit has taken place.
-
If the visit relates to poor broadband speeds, we provide our expected target speed in advance of the testing, against which the testing will be compared.
8.5 Charges for engineer visits. You will be charged for the engineer visit if the fault lies on the customer side of the network, and these charges are set out below. A chargeable visit will establish the responsibility for the fault but will not fix it. You will also be charged in the circumstances listed below.
-
You provide an incorrect address.
-
Entry is refused to the premises, or access cannot be gained by the engineer.
-
There is no person at the premises over 18 years and authorised by you to manage the broadband Service.
-
We agreed on pre-requisite requirements for the premises with you to carry out the work successfully, and these requirements have not been met.
-
The engineer finds that the fault that you have raised is not related to our Services or equipment, or the reported fault was not present.
-
The engineering visit is cancelled by the customer later than two working days before the appointment date.
-
The engineer finds that the fault that you have raised is caused by damage to the cabling or equipment. (Residential Services only) See section 3.14
-
The issue could have been fixed using guidance already supplied by our Support team over the phone or by email. A common cause of reduced service quality is the wireless connection from the router situated within your premises to your device(s). Many issues are resolved by connecting your device to the router using an Ethernet lead instead of Wi-Fi, and our Helpdesk will explain how to do this before arranging an engineer visit.
-
An engineer arrives at the premises to carry out the work you requested, but you no longer wish the work to be carried out.
Missed appointment fees are charged at £35.
Engineer appointment within working hours - £45 per hour
Engineer appointments at a weekend or out of hours - £65 per hour.
8.6 Fixing faults on the customer side of the network. If an engineer visit establishes a fault on the customer side of the network, the customer is then responsible for fixing the fault.
8.7 Non-availability of our Services. We use reasonable endeavours to give you a minimum of five days’ notice by email of necessary maintenance and support work on our network, although this may not always be possible if the problem is urgent or an emergency.
9. Our responsibility to you
9.1 Problems with Our Services. We will provide our Services with reasonable skill and care and in accordance with good industry practice. If the Internetty Ltd Services are unavailable we’ll always look to put things right. Our ability to provide the Services is sometimes dependent upon other companies that provide Services to us. You acknowledge that there are factors outside of our control which will limit our ability to provide Internetty Ltd Services to you.

11. Leaving us or suspending the service
11.1 These rights are in addition to any other legal rights you may have to terminate our Agreement. If you want to end the Agreement:
-
Because you simply want to leave us
. You will need to give us a minimum of 30 days' notice by email. If you are outside your Minimum Term you can cancel at any time without paying an Early Termination Charge. If you are within your Minimum Term (but outside the Cooling-off Period) you will need to pay Early Termination Charges as set out in the Price Guide. Other charges may be due as set in the Price Guide. We will continue to provide the Services and you’ll need to pay for all charges during this period.
-
Because of the quality of our Services
. If the Service is materially degraded for a minimum of 14 days or if we don’t do something fundamental that we should have done under this Agreement within 7 days of you asking us in writing, you may be able to leave the Agreement early without paying a termination charge. Please contact us to discuss your options.
-
Because of changes
. If (i) we increase your Tariff (by more than the annual inflation-linked charge set out in 3.7); or (ii) materially change our Services or the Agreement, except where any increase is required by law or any regulatory authority, you will have a right to leave the Agreement early without paying a termination charge. We will let you know if this is the case and what to do before the changes are made. If you take no action within 30 days of us telling you about the changes you will be considered to have accepted those changes.
11.2 If someone else requests that we end our Agreement (for example a provider you’re transferring to) we will accept that notice and will send you a letter via electronic communication advising that we have received notification that another service provider has applied to take over the Service.
11.3 If you cancel your Direct Debit without contacting us to arrange payment by alternative means, we may assume you want to end our Agreement.
11.4 If we want to suspend our Services or end the Agreement and termination charges apply. We may suspend our Services (other than access to the emergency services) or end the Agreement if any of the following apply. If you are within the Minimum Term you will have to pay Early Termination Charges as set out in the Price Guide:
-
We reasonably believe you have provided us with false or misleading details.
-
You don’t pay any charges on time.
-
You repeatedly request your bank to charge back payments that you are not disputing.
-
You or anyone else who is using your Internetty Ltd Services is in breach of our Fair and Acceptable Use Policy or Privacy Policy or if you don’t do something fundamental that you have to do under the Agreement within 7 days of us asking you to do so in writing.
-
Any misuse of the Internetty Ltd Services by you or any third party or the use of any of our Services in a way that may damage or affect the operation of our network.
-
You become bankrupt or make an arrangement with creditors.
-
A licence under which you have the right to run your telecommunications system and connect to the Internetty Ltd system is revoked, amended or otherwise,ceases to be valid and is not immediately replaced with another valid licence.
11.5 If we want to suspend our Services or end the Agreement and termination charges do not apply. There are two cases where we may suspend our Services (other than access to the emergency services) or end the Agreement, and the Early Termination Charge does not apply:
-
Our ability to continue to provide the Service to you is materially and adversely affected because: (i) any of our telecommunications carrier(s) or supplier(s) ceases to provide services to us, or (ii) any authorisation required by us ends or is changed, or (iii) it is not commercially viable to supply the Services to you, or (iv) the service is no longer technically viable.
-
If asked to do so by regulators or if required by law. We may end the Agreement if we are permanently unable to provide our Services to you.
11.6 We will usually give you 14 days’ notice before suspending or stopping our Services or ending the Agreement, and work to resolve any issues with you. However, we may not give this notice if there is a material risk of loss or harm to us or our other customers (for example, where there is a reasonable suspicion of fraud or other abuse).
11.7 If we suspend the Services we may charge a line restriction fee as set out in the Price Guide. We shall also be entitled to recover from you all costs, losses and expenses incurred by Internetty Ltd.
12. MOVING HOUSE
12.1 If you move to a new house during the Minimum Term. Please let us know at least 30 days in advance of your moving date, and we will terminate the services on the next billing date.

If we are able to provide the Services to your new address, we will set up a new Agreement with you, with a new Minimum Term. Activation charges may be applicable for connecting the Internetty Ltd Services to your new house (for example if a new fibre cable is required). You will be subject to Early Termination Charges for the Agreement to supply Services at your old address if we are unable to provide service at your new address. Other charges may be due as set in the Price Guide.

13. After the agreement ends
13.1 If this Agreement is ended by you or us, for whatever reason, you will have to pay all charges up to the date of your next billing date of your Internetty Ltd Services. If you have paid any charges in advance we’ll refund you for any services not used, but we’ll first take off any money you owe us under our Agreement. For security or compliance reasons we may not hold your payment details after our Agreement has ended so you agree that we may make these refunds by cheque.
