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.

If you object to such changes you may be able to terminate this agreement at any time in accordance with the provisions of clause 9.8 by giving us not less than 30 days’ notice. If you terminate in these circumstances the provisions of clauses 9.1.1 and 9.2 shall apply.

13.2 Your Contract sets out the whole agreement between you and us for the provision of the Services and supersedes all prior arrangements, understandings and agreements between you and us.

13.3 If any particular clause of these Conditions shall be or be held to be invalid or shall not apply to your Contract the other clauses hereof shall continue in full force and effect.

13.6 We make every effort to ensure the security of your communications. 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 we shall not be liable to you if this occurs.

13.7 Failure by either you or us to exercise or enforce any right, whether conferred by statute or by your Contract, shall not be deemed as a waiver of any such rights nor prevent the exercise or enforcement of such rights at a later date.
