Certain words used in these Terms have specific meanings. Where they do they appear in bold text. A list of the majority of these words is set out below under the heading “Defined Terms”. Others appear in the text of these Terms.
In exchange for you paying the relevant Charges, we will provide you with the following:
Before we can provide you with the Service you must satisfy the following conditions:
You must have:
2.3 The Service Address must be within the Service Availability Area. We will only provide the Service to the Service Address.
2.4 The Equipment (including but not limited to the modem and/or router) must be correctly installed;
2.5 The line must be activated by the Telecom Provider to accept the Service.
2.6 Activation of the Service may result in you experiencing a temporary loss of your analogue line. We accept no responsibility for and will not be liable for this loss.
2.7 Some modifications may need to be made to your Access Device to enable you to use the Service and it is your responsibility to ensure that such modifications do not invalidate the terms of any warranty or contract you may have in relation to your Access Device. We will not be liable for the invalidation or breach of your Access Device's warranty or any other contract relating to your Access Device as a result of work carried out by you, Supanet or Supanet's agents in order to make your Access Device operate with the Service unless such breach or invalidation is a result of Supanet's negligence.
2.8 You must cancel any other broadband (or other internet access service) supplied by another service provider through the BT or other non-cable telephone line that you wish to use to receive Service from Supanet and your telephone landline at the Service Address must be clear of your former service provider's broadband or internet access service.
The Contract Minimum Period for the Service(s) is 24 months (“the Contract Minimum Period”). Upon the expiry of the Contract Minimum Period you may terminate the Service(s) by giving us not less than 30 days written notice. Where we provide the Service(s) as part of a package of services and have agreed a shorter Contract Minimum Period for the Service(s) this may be subject to you complying with the applicable terms of that package in default of which a minimum term of 24 months from the Service Start Date will apply.
Our standard charges for the Service are set out in the Price List. Where we provide the Service as part of a package of services we may agree to discount our standard charges.
The Charges you have to pay will be set out in the Price List and/or your Order Confirmation.
Certain service products have monthly data transfer allowances (“Usage Allowance(s)”) that stipulate the amount of data you can transfer each month, measured in Gigabytes, without any additional charges. Details of the usage allowance applicable to your chosen Service product are set out in your Order Confirmation, on the Website and in Showmybill. Should the amount of data you transfer exceed your usage allowance, Supanet may, at its sole option, limit your usage by use of "speed limiter", which prevents further data transfer once the threshold has been reached, or charge you for data transferred in excess of the usage allowance in the manner set out below.
The data you transfer using the Service is measured automatically and all data on your data usage is gathered in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
You can monitor your usage and the amount of data you transfer each month in Showmybill.
If in any billing month you exceed your usage allowance you will be charged for any bandwidth usage in excess of the applicable allowance in 1 Gigabyte increments at the rate of £1.29 per Gigabyte or as otherwise set out on the Price List.
Information and guidance on bandwidth use can be found on the Website.
You may upgrade to Service products with higher usage allowances at any time by contacting a member of our sales team.
You may only downgrade your Service product to a product with a smaller usage allowance after the Contract Minimum Period has ended.
5.1 We do not warrant (or promise) that the Service will be free of defects, uninterrupted or secure but we will endeavour to correct reported defects as soon as we reasonably can. In performing our obligations under the Contract we will exercise the care and skill to be reasonably expected of a competent internet service provider.
5.2 The quality of the Service is dependent on the distance of the Service Address from the BT exchange, the quality of your BT telephone line and the internal wiring at the Service Address, the number of other ADSL connections within the same cable to the exchange, interference from electrical devices at or near the Service Address, geographic, atmospheric or other conditions or circumstances beyond our control.
5.3 Supanet's provision of the Service is dependent upon the operation of the Telecom Provider's telecommunications network and the operation of the Internet in general. The Service is provided to you on a contended basis, which means that you share network capacity with other customers.
5.4 Supanet will not be liable for any failure or delay in the Service due to problems with the Telecom Provider's telecommunications network or the Internet in general, except to the extent that those problems are caused by our negligence.
5.5 Where you use Third Party Equipment or software in conjunction with the Service our provision of the Service is dependent upon the operation of the Third Party Equipment. Supanet will not be liable for any failure or delay in the Service caused by or due to problems with Third Party Equipment, except to the extent that those problems are caused by our negligence.
5.6 From time to time we may suspend the whole or any part of the Service for routine maintenance work. We will give you as much notice of any suspensions as is reasonably possible by posting details on the service status page at www.Supanet.co.uk or by e-mail, but we will not be liable for any loss suffered by you or others as a result of such suspension.
5.7 Whilst Supanet uses reasonable endeavours to keep the Service secure and free of viruses, worms and other hostile code we do not guarantee that this will be the case. Supanet reserves the right to suspend the whole or any part of its Service at any time without notice or compensation to investigate and take steps to try to stop or prevent any security breach or remove any suspected virus, worm or other hostile code.
6.1 You agree not to use the Services:
6.2 You agree not to tamper with your telephone line or otherwise do anything, which may cause damage to it.

6.4 In using the Service, you must comply with:
6.5 All information and material submitted to and accepted by Supanet via the Service or the Website by way of contributions to chats, discussions and user reviews shall be deemed to be and shall remain your property.

Supanet shall not be subject to any obligations of confidence regarding such information, data or material except as required by law.
7.1 As part of the Service we may provide you with email facilities, web hosting and other services that involve Supanet providing online storage space.
7.2 In order to manage our computers and services Supanet may restrict the amount of storage space it provides. The current limits are set out on the Website and in Showmybill.

We also reserve the right to refuse to accept material and/or to delete material, which exceeds the relevant limit.
8.1 We will hold all information that you submit about yourself in a computer database. The ways we use your data are detailed in the Privacy Policy. For the purposes of providing you with telephone support you agree to your personal data being accessed from outside the EEC.
