5.2 Where relevant with respect to online payments, all your credit card details will be passed from your browser for processing using encryption.

5.3 Where you have been allocated a user admin area (an “Account”), this area is protected by your user name and password, which you should never divulge to anyone else.

5.4 Please be aware that communications over the Internet, such as emails/webmails are not secure unless they have been encrypted. Your communications may route through a number of countries before being delivered – this is the nature of the World Wide Web/Internet.

5.5 We cannot accept responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of personal information that is beyond our control.

Information we deem sensitive (like your bank account number and sort code) are stored using encryption. We will only send your data outside of the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) to comply with a legal obligation, or when required to fulfil your service with us (our South African office), or our suppliers. If we do transfer your personal information outside the EEA, we will make sure that it is protected to the same extent as in the EEA.

In the unlikely event of a criminal breach of our security we will inform the relevant regulatory body within 72 hours and, if your personal data were involved in the breach, we shall also inform you.

15.2 You shall pay your invoices by monthly variable direct debit (or by recurring credit or debit card payments if we offer this payment option to you). We reserve the right to refuse any new customer not wishing to pay by direct debit (or by another payment method approved by us). You are responsible for notifying us as soon as possible of any changes to your bank details that may affect your payment of the Charges.

15.3 Recurrent credit or debit card payments: If we allow you and you agree to pay the Charges by recurrent credit card or debit card payments the provisions of this Clause 15.3 will apply to you:

(a) by sending us an Order or setting up an auto top up, you grant us continuous authority to charge your debit or credit card for the Services until such time as the Service(s) or auto top up are cancelled by you and any outstanding monies have been paid. This includes all administration, cessation and porting fees. Should you choose to cancel your monthly service(s) or auto top ups then your continuous authority will be immediately ceased.

(b) In the event that we are unable to take a continuous card authority payment from you, then you will be informed by email and will be prompted to make a immediate payment in order for the Services to continue.

(c) If your credit or debit card details change or expire you must notify us immediately to avoid suspension or termination of the Services due to non-payments.

(d) We reserve the right at our sole discretion any time to stop accepting credit cards or debit cards from one or more issuers.

15.4 You agree that you will advise us by telephone and in writing immediately if the card becomes lost, stolen or if you wish to close your card account or cancel the authority, at which point you will need to provide a new continuous direct debit authority. You also expressly acknowledge that by providing the details referred to above you have the authority to authorise us to deduct payment for the services in accordance with the Agreement.

15.5 Arrears and/or unwillingness to maintain payment by direct debit or recurrent credit or debit card payments may result in one or more of your Services being restricted and in the termination of your Agreement.

15.6 Cancellation of your direct debit does not constitute notice of termination of the Agreement by you, but we reserve the right to terminate the Agreement immediately if you cancel your direct debit for the payment of the Services and/or you chose another payment method not previously approved by us.

15.7 You are protected at all times by the direct debit guarantee as detailed in Clause 33 below.

15.8 If you fail to pay any sum due, within 14 days from the date of the invoice, we shall be entitled to charge interest on the amount due at the rate of four percent (4%) above the Barclays Bank Plc base rate ruling from time to time calculated from the due date until we receive your payment.

15.9 We reserve the right to perform a credit check on you with no prior given notice, and to pass your credit history with us on to other credit agencies and/or County Court.

15.10 Deposits:

(a) We reserve the right to request at any time a reasonable deposit, paid in advance, from you as security to cover the risk of you not paying our bills. For instance, we may ask a deposit from you should periodical credit checks reveal insufficient credit scoring or County Court Judgments against you for debts or non-payments, if you are late paying any invoice or if unusual usage and call Charges are incurred by you (the “Credit Conditions”).

(b) We may agree to provide you with a free line installation, in connection with Phone and/or Broadband Services, in return for you committing to an Initial Term or Renewal Term as applicable. Such deposit will be released against your full payment of our first six months’ invoices or as otherwise specified by us in writing. Furthermore, we shall be entitled, at any time, to use this deposit to pay off any charges you owe us.

No interest is payable on any deposit held by us under the Agreement.

15.11 We may, at our sole discretion and at any time, impose a credit limit on your account or amend it if, for instance, you fail to meet our Credit Conditions or if, for business reasons, we need to manage our financial risk. If you exceed any such credit limit we may demand immediate payment of all the Charges incurred by you up to this moment and/or suspend the Service. We will endeavour to notify you as soon as possible if any of these situations arise. As our billing system is not updated instantly when you use our Services, you may exceed the credit limit, but if this happens, you will still be responsible for all Charges incurred including those exceeding the credit limit. We may amend your credit limit at any time and without prior notice.

15.12 Our current administration charges specified on our Website at www.bonline.com

You must pay the amount not in dispute in a disputed invoice if the disputed amount is more than 5% of the total invoice. In addition, we may also collect any overdue payment from the debit or credit card whose details you have provided to us.

15.16 If you do not pay an invoice before the due date, we may instruct a debt collection agency to collect payment from you (including any interest and/or late payment charges) on our behalf. If we engage a debt collection agency to collect your debt, you must pay the reasonable costs we have to pay to such agency, which will be added to the amount you owe.

5.7 If the Service is fully operational, 999/112 public emergency call services can be accessed from within England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. However, you understand and acknowledge that there may be some limitations as set out in the following paragraphs. If you use the Service outside England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland you will not be able to call emergency services in the country where you are located. A line from another communications provider will be required to call emergency services outside England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. If there is a Service outage for any reason, such outage may prevent access to 999/112 dialling.

5.8 You must register with bOnline the primary physical location where you will be using the Service. Your initial location will be registered as a part of subscribing to the Service. It is your responsibility to maintain the accuracy of your location address if there are any changes. You can do this by emailing any changes to us at voipcare@bonline.com. If you do not update us with changes, it may or may not be possible for emergency operators and authorities to identify your location and phone number when you dial 999/112. Location information of your primary office as notified to bOnline will only be provided to emergency services; extension information may not be provided to emergency services. When you dial 999/112 you will need to state your location and phone number promptly and clearly, as emergency operators and authorities may not have this information.

Emergency operators and authorities may or may not be able to identify your phone number in order to call you back if the call is unable to be completed, is dropped or disconnected, or if you are unable to speak to tell them your phone number and/or if the Service is not operational for any reason. Emergency operators and authorities may also not be able to hold your line open in the event you hang up.

You agree to inform potential users of the Service of the above limitations and you understand and accept that you should always have an alternative means of accessing 999/112 emergency services. If bOnline suspends the Service you will still be able to dial 999.

5.9 Number portability may be unavailable with the Service. If you wish to port your telephone number to bOnline or your telephone number from bOnline to another provider, you may not be able to keep your telephone number. For more information on transferring your telephone number away from bOnline and to bOnline call our customer service team.

If you port out your telephone number to another provider, the Service and this Agreement will not be cancelled and you will remain responsible for payment of all subscription charges and other charges under this Agreement for their full term.

You may not claim any compensation if there is a delay in porting,

A number that can be transferred to bOnline typically takes 20 business days to complete. The process starts with the customer completing a letter of authority (LOA) which authorises bOnline to request a number transfer from your existing provider to bOnline. The information on the LOA must be accurate and complete and match the information held by your existing service provider to avoid the transfer request being rejected by your existing service provider and causing a delay in the transfer of your phone number. bOnline will not take any responsibility for such delays but will endeavour to avoid such delays in so far as it can.

For bOnline to start a number transfer we require the customer to have plugged in their phones, to keep them connected to the bOnline network and to have made and received calls. Where the customer does not perform these actions the number transfer will be delayed.

Once the transfer is agreed by your existing service provider, the existing provider will provide a transfer date which bOnline will notify to you. bOnline or your existing provider may change the transfer date for operational reasons up to the day before the notified transfer date. A change of transfer date in this circumstance does not qualify for compensation from bOnline.

6. Charges

6.1 bOnline charges you for using the Cloud Phone Services covered by this Agreement. The Charges applicable to the Cloud Phone Services will be the: (i) Charges that we confirm to you in our Confirmation Letter; (ii) the Charges that we describe in this paragraph 6; and (iii) the Charges that we describe in Clause 12 of the Business General Terms as applicable.

6.2 You agree to pay and are responsible for paying the Charges for the Cloud Phone Services or for any Equipment you purchase from bOnline.

6.3 In the event that we have agreed to provide you with a bundle for Cloud Phone and Broadband Services and you transfer to other supplier, or terminate, all telephone lines covered by the bundle, we will automatically apply to you our then current Charges for any remaining services.

6.4 bOnline will apply a monthly Charge, specified in our Price Guide which is available on our Website at www.bonline.com.

7. Acceptable Business Use of the Services

7.1 You must use the Service for normal and reasonable use in the course of your business (“Acceptable Business Use”). If you use the Service otherwise than for Acceptable Business Use, we may at our sole discretion terminate the Service immediately. In the case of any termination then without prejudice to any other remedy available to us under this Agreement or at law, you will pay to us as liquidated damages for early termination (being a genuine pre-estimate of the loss and damage we would suffer as a result of early termination) the monthly Service charges that would have been payable to us up until the end of the Minimum Term and you will be responsible for paying all charges under your applicable call price plan including without limitation unbilled charges, early termination charges and other charges all of which immediately become due and payable. We shall immediately charge all these amounts to your account. Each of the following will be considered when evaluating whether your behaviour is outside of Acceptable Business Use:

7.3 The Service is provided primarily for continuous live dialogue between two individuals. Lack of continuous dialogue activity, excessive conferencing or call forwarding will be considered indicators that use may be inconsistent with normal Acceptable Business Use by other bOnline customers.

7.4 Some call plans allow for the use of additional devices and clients (such as our softphone client, personal computers, mobile phones, and mobile client phone numbers registered with bOnline or other Equipment) as part of that call plan. If you subscribe to a call plan which permits use of more than one device or client with the same line, your usage will be aggregated and assessed when evaluating whether your usage is outside of Acceptable Business Use.

7.5 You may only use the Service for lawful and appropriate purposes. You may not use the Service in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent, improper or inappropriate. You may not use any automated means to manipulate the Service or use the Service to violate any law, rule, regulation or any third party’s intellectual property or personal rights.

What bOnline will provide to Customers

2.2 SIM Ownership: bOnline owns each SIM and each SIM remains bOnline’s property at all times. Customers and Users are being allowed to use the SIM on a limited licence to allow them to access Services. bOnline may recall the SIM at any time and customers can only use the SIM to obtain the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.3 SIM Usage: Each SIM can only be used in Equipment which is authorised by bOnline for Connection to the Network.

Customers or Users aren’t permitted to remove the SIM from the Equipment and use it in a mobile device, they will be charged in accordance.

2.4 Usage Monitoring: If bOnline determines in its sole opinion that customers’ or Users’ use of the Services either exceeds that reasonably expected of someone using the Service or materially affects other users’ enjoyment of the Service, or has an adverse impact on the Network, then bOnline will by written notice, give customers a 2-day period in which to reduce usage levels to those reasonably expected of a person using the Service. If usage activity has not decreased within the 2-day notification period, bOnline may at their discretion terminate, suspend, or restrict customers’ Service. bOnline will try to tell customers when bOnline suspends or restricts the Service but bOnline does not have to.

3.5 Disruption Rights: If Users experience continuous or regularly recurring disruption to the broadband services customers may be entitled to a price reduction based on the period of the disruption, in accordance with Section 4.18.

Disruption to bOnline Services
4.1 Network Issues: Due to the nature of mobile telecoms, there may be situations when Services aren’t always available, or the quality or network speeds are affected and so bOnline cannot guarantee continuous fault-free service. For example:
– When Three needs to perform upgrading, maintenance, or other work on the Network or Services.
– When Users are in areas not covered by the Network. In this case, Services rely on other operators’ networks, over which bOnline has no control.
– Because of factors outside bOnline’s control, such as legal or regulatory requirements, lack of capacity, interruptions to Services from other suppliers, faults in other communication networks, the weather, or radio interference caused by hills, tunnels, or other physical obstructions.

4.2 Coverage Information: For more information about coverage see Three.co.uk/coverage

Customers have the right to change their mind and return the Equipment within the first 14 days of receipt of the Equipment following troubleshooting.

4.3 Disruption Reporting: If a User experiences continuous or regularly recurring disruption to Services (such as where customers’ access to Services is limited or unavailable) customers may be entitled to a price reduction based upon the period of the disruption. This may take the form of a partial or full credit or a refund of customers’ Monthly Charge. To receive a credit or refund customers will need to report to bOnline a disruption on the Network in order that bOnline may investigate their concerns, consider the extent to which the User uses the Services in question and measure the disruption against customers’ typical usage history.

Mobile and Broadband Estimated Maximum Speeds

7. Speed Estimates
For Mobile, Mobile Broadband, and Broadband services:

Type 4G
Upload 70Mbps
Download 22 Mbps

Type 5G
Upload 597Mbps
Download 50 Mbps

Based on the estimated maximum speed customers are likely to experience on the Three UK network. The above table assumes that the customer’s mobile broadband device supports the features necessary to achieve that speed. Due to the nature of internet access services provided over mobile networks and geographical, topographical, built environment, and other factors affecting the variability of data speeds, the estimated maximum speeds above are not guaranteed and may not be available at all locations and within all environments. Theoretical maximum 4G and 5G speeds provided are also only available where Three has upgraded the site and deployed all of our 4G/5G spectrum. Currently, this is only on a limited number of our sites but will increase over time. The upload and download speeds achieved by customers may vary due to several factors. These factors are outlined in our terms and conditions. Sometimes we may need to manage internet traffic across our network to deal with exceptional or temporary congestion.

8. Best Possible Speed
To get the best possible speed for your mobile broadband service, it is important that your router is correctly set up. Step-by-step instructions are in our user guide and will help you achieve the best speeds.

9. Advertised 5G Broadband Speed Claim
The advertised 5G download speed of 150Mbps applies to at least 50% of 5G Broadband customers between the peak hours of 8pm and 10pm. Three measures the speeds delivered by 5G Radio Access Network to customers across Three’s 5G Network and calculate the average (median) 5G data throughput rate at peak hours daily. In Dec 23 – Jan 24, the median figure was well above 150 Mbps each day, and we continue to monitor this on an ongoing basis. Due to the nature of the wireless technology delivering your Broadband, the speed that any individual premises will experience is not guaranteed, may vary, and can be impacted by local factors, such as the positioning of the hub, line of sight to your nearest mast, local topography (such as hills), the number of users accessing the network in your area, and the thickness of walls and windows.

10. Coverage and Broadband speeds

bOnline’s advertised and estimated maximum upload and download speeds for its broadband internet services, provided as part of the Services, are set out in its estimated broadband speeds table, available above. bOnline does not guarantee that Business Broadband will achieve any specific speeds. The speeds achieved by Business Broadband will depend on factors such as a User’s geographic location, the type of walls and windows in customers’ or Users’ buildings, the number of people using the network, the external environment, and the correct setup of the Equipment or devices (if applicable). bOnline may implement measures to manage the traffic across the Network in exceptional circumstances to prevent impending network congestion and/or mitigate the effects of any credit issues.

11. Credit Redemption
Any credit may not be redeemed for cash and may solely be redeemed against customers’ use of Services.

By using bOnline’s 4G/5G Business Broadband Services, customers agree to the terms outlined above. For any questions or further details, please refer to the full Terms and Conditions available on bOnline’s official website.
