2 General Provisions Relating to the
Services
2.1 The Services covered by these
Conditions are only applicable to use by businesses or by individuals
identified by the named business who will be held responsibility for all
billing and use of the service. We will provide you with the Services in
accordance with your Contract and your Contract sets out the only
Services we provide to you. We may appoint any company as our agent to
perform any or all of our obligations in providing the Services to you
and any ancillary matters arising as a result.
2.2 Your Contract will allow us to send you
one incovo bill for the Services that you receive from us. If you choose
to receive invoices online via email, it is a condition of your Contract
that you provide us with a current email address for billing purposes
and that you maintain this address and advise us promptly of any changes
to it. To make this change you will have to phone the Customer Service
Centre or write to us at incovo ltd, 1 Almondview Park, Almondview,
Livingston, EH54 6QB. It is your responsibility to verify that your
mailbox is in proper working order and you must assume the risk of all
consequences for errors in sending and receiving email, unless caused by
our negligence.
2.3 When we provide you with a Service, we
will use the reasonable skill and care of a competent service provider
but we cannot guarantee that the Service will always be fault-free. This
is because other third party companies may provide the Networks which
allow you to make calls and since this is beyond our control we are not
liable for faults in any Service due to these matters.
2.4 If we provide you with a non geographic
telephone number (including a code) for the purpose of providing the
Services you acknowledge that the code and number are not your property
and that we are entitled to alter the telephone number (and/or the code)
at our sole discretion. We shall only change that number where
reasonably necessary or if we are requested to do so by Ofcom or other
similar regulator, and will provide you with reasonable notice of such
change. You acknowledge that, you have no right to sell (or to agree to
transfer) or dispose of in any way, the number provided to you by us.
2.5 We do not provide you with any
equipment such as your telephone. If you rent such equipment from
another provider, you will receive a separate bill from them. We are not
liable for any problems you may have with such equipment and any issues
you may have in relation to it must be raised direct with the relevant
provider.
2.6 You may have existing contracts for
telecommunications services (i.e. line rental, or calls) with your old
service providers which have minimum service periods in them. You are
responsible for checking any such contracts and for paying for any
ongoing charges or charges on termination you may have to pay to your
old service provider. These may be in addition to our charges.
2.7 If you move house and want to access
the Services at your new address you may need to set up new accounts for
that location by calling the Customer Service Centre. You will have to
provide us with what we regard as suitable proof of your new address. If
you do not provide this information, your existing account will not be
terminated and you will be liable for any charges that remain due in
respect of the remainder of the term for the particular Service or part
thereof (for example, the remainder of the Minimum Period).
2.8 Whilst we provide Services to you, you
authorise us to act on your behalf and appoint us as your agent in all
dealings with BT or any other Network Operator or service provider (as
applicable) in connection with such Service, and in particular, you
consent to BT or any other Network Operator or service provider (as
applicable) providing us access to, and transferring to us, any Personal
Data of yours (and other relevant information) to allow us to connect
you to, and for us to provide you with the Services. In order to
facilitate this you are required to complete a BT customer disclosure
form.
2.9You agree that you will not wilfully,
recklessly or negligently, damage or attempt to repair or interfere with
your telephone line or other equipment that is required to enable you to
receive the Services from us.
3 Specific Provisions Relating to the
incovo CPS/IDA Service
3.1 If you enter a Contract for incovo CPS
or IDA Service, it will not include, telephone or other equipment or any
line rental or a maintenance service on your telephone line or the
provision of internet access unless one of the following applies:
3.1.1 We have taken over responsibility for
your telephone connection in accordance with clause 4.4;or
3.2 You acknowledge that if you do have a
Contract with us, your telephone line and connection are provided by BT
or similar network access operator and therefore, if there is a fault
with either the line or the connection, we advise you to contact them as
they should repair and maintain the line and connection in accordance
with the terms and conditions of your agreement with them. In these
circumstances, you will remain responsible for all charges made by BT
relating to your telephone line and connection, together with any repair
and maintenance charges (unless caused by our negligence).
3.3 If you move house, your incovo Service
will continue un-interrupted unless either you have written to us to
terminate your incovo services or your existing telephone number
changes. In the event that you change number as a result of your move,
you will need to let us know so that we can transfer our services to
your new number. The new transfer will take approximately fourteen (14)
days from the date your new number is active or from the date you have
informed us of the change to your number (subject to your new number
being active). Please note that all calls made on your new number prior
to re-connecting our CPS/IDA services to your new number, will not be
billed by us and may be charged at the BT business rates for calls
carried over the BT Network.
3.4 If you request International Access we
will use reasonable efforts to make it possible if available to you, but
owing to the nature of telecommunications Networks (and in particular
various international Networks), it is impossible to provide a fault
free service. As a result, we will not be responsible or liable to you
in any way in circumstances where we are not able to provide the
International Access service to you or where you are unable to obtain a
clear connection to the international number you wish to call.
3.5 While the quality of International
Access calls that you may make will be similar to that of other leading
calling card service providers in the UK, if from time to time the
service is unavailable or you experience any difficulty in obtaining a
reasonably clear connection, you may dial direct to the international
number you wish to call without using the Access Code. Please note that
different call rates will apply to such direct dialled calls and you may
incur a higher call charge.
4 Your Use of the Services
4.1 You agree not to use the Services:
4.1.1 for making calls, sending data,
publishing, knowingly receiving, uploading or downloading any data or

the Customer Services operators who deal with enquiries concerning the
