In the event of an assessment error resulting in your disqualification from receiving a standard installation, the technician shall inform us, and we shall engage in discussions with you to determine the appropriate course of action and any associated charges.
2.7
If the installation cannot proceed as scheduled. The technician shall exert all reasonable efforts to complete the installation as planned. However, if circumstances such as safety concerns, complexity, or the requirement for specific materials hinder the installation, the technician shall notify us and request your confirmation regarding the need for a subsequent appointment. Reasonable costs incurred as a result may be charged to you. In the event that we are unable to contact you or reschedule access to your property despite our reasonable efforts, we reserve the right to terminate the Contract. As we do not guarantee the completion of the installation and activation of your Services on the agreed-upon date, we advise against terminating your current broadband provider until our Services have been installed and activated.
2.8
Our rights under the Communications Act 2003. By placing an order and requesting the installation of our Service, you acknowledge that the Wurzel Ltd Network Equipment installed on your property with your consent, including the internal network termination point within your premises, shall remain in place regardless of whether you or any subsequent purchaser of your property utilise our Services. It is your responsibility to ensure that any future buyers of your property are made aware of its connection to our network and the location of the Wurzel Ltd Network Equipment. You acknowledge that our installation and provision of Services are contingent upon obtaining all necessary consents and permissions from you or other relevant parties, such as your landlord if you are a tenant.
- Our charges and your payments
3.1
Calculation of monthly charges. The amount payable for our Services is determined by the type and level of Service ordered and is indicated as a monthly sum, inclusive of VAT, on the Order Confirmation. Payment must be made exclusively via direct debit. In the event of any changes to your bank details, it is imperative that you notify us immediately; failure to do so may result in suspension or termination of Services. The initial payment shall include the Activation Fee, if applicable, and charges for non-standard installations.
3.2
Minimum Term. By entering into this Contract, you agree to be bound by a Minimum Term for acceptance and payment of our Broadband Service, which shall commence from the Activation Date (for new orders), or the date specified on the Order Confirmation (for changes and upgrades). The Minimum Term relevant to your order is stipulated on your Order Confirmation. Should you terminate the Contract during the Minimum Term, an Early Termination Charge may be imposed. To understand the process of terminating this Contract and the corresponding rights and obligations, please refer to clause 9.

Post-Minimum Term period. Unless expressly agreed upon otherwise or upon your decision to terminate the Contract, the Contract shall continue after the Minimum Term, and you shall continue to receive the Services.

3.4
Annual Price Increase. At our discretion, on or after 1st October each year, commencing from October 2023, we may apply a percentage increase to the price of your Broadband Service. The percentage increase shall be the Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 3.5%. In the event that the published CPI is negative in any given year, the price increase shall be 3.5% exclusively. If you receive a discount on your monthly price, the price increase outlined in clause 3.5 shall be applied to the discounted price. The calculated increase shall be rounded up to the nearest whole pence.
3.5
Other modifications to charges. We retain the right to review our charges for any of our Services at any time. In the event of changes to the prices of our Services, we shall provide you with a minimum of one month’s notice, except in circumstances where reasonable notice is not feasible (for example, due to legal or regulatory reasons, in which case we shall provide notice to the extent possible). Should you disagree with these price changes, you have the right to terminate the Contract by contacting us (refer to clause 9 below). This termination right does not apply to changes in prices resulting from the annual price increase described in clause 3.4, as you have agreed to such annual increase as part of this Contract.
3.6
Changes and Upgrades. Should you decide to modify or upgrade your Services, we shall inform you of the new monthly charges and request your confirmation of acceptance (refer to clause 7.1, “Your right to make changes”).

3.9
Non-payment. If you fail to make payment for our Services within the specified timeframe and do not remit payment within 7 days of our reminder, we may suspend or terminate the supply of Services until the outstanding amounts are settled. We shall notify you regarding the suspension of Services. Should you dispute the unpaid bill, we will not suspend the Services (refer to clause 3.11).
3.10
Debt collection. In the event of non-payment for the Services, we reserve the right to disclose your personal information, including your details, to a debt-collection agency for the purpose of debt recovery. Furthermore, we retain the right to transfer your debt to any other business (in which case, your personal information shall also be transferred) that may attempt to recover the amount owed using any appropriate means. This clause 3.10 shall remain applicable even after termination of the Contract with us.
3.11
Late payment interest. In the event of non-payment by the due date, we may charge you interest on the overdue amount at a rate of 4% per year above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank, as determined from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the actual payment date of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You shall be liable for payment of interest along with any outstanding amounts. Additionally, you shall bear all reasonable costs incurred for any debt recovery action or proceedings undertaken by us to collect the debt owed under this Contract, including fees charged by any debt collection agency employed by us.
3.12
Disputes regarding charges. If you believe that a bill contains errors, please promptly contact us to report the issue. In such cases, we shall refrain from charging interest until the matter is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved, we shall charge interest on the correctly billed amounts from the original due date.
- Utilisation of our services
4.1
Compliance with Acceptable Use Policy. You hereby agree to adhere to our Acceptable Use Policy. The usage of our Services shall be limited to lawful purposes only. You acknowledge and consent to intermittent monitoring of your utilisation of our Services, including data volume and traffic type, whether authorized by statute or other legislation, to ensure compliance with applicable laws and to facilitate traffic management. In the event of improper or negligent use of the Services, or if such use interferes with the usage rights of other customers, we reserve the right to suspend your access to our Services (as outlined in clause 5 below) or terminate this Contract (as described in clause 10 below). We retain the right to immediately remove any material, whether placed on our servers by you or other users, that breaches the terms of this Contract or is deemed detrimental to our interests or the interests of our other customers.
4.2
Liability for breaches of Acceptable Use Policy. You acknowledge that you are liable for all usage of our Services, regardless of whether you granted permission.

If you report a fault that is traced within your property boundaries, we will arrange an appointment to repair the fault or replace the faulty Equipment or Wurzel Ltd Network Equipment. However, if, in the reasonable opinion of the engineer, the fault was caused by damage to the Equipment or the Wurzel Ltd Network Equipment, a charge may be imposed. Failure to return any Equipment within 30 days after receiving a replacement may result in the suspension of your Services until the Equipment is returned, or we may seek to recover the costs associated with non-returned Equipment.
4.4
Network faults beyond property boundaries. Upon becoming aware of a network fault outside your property boundaries, we will make reasonable efforts to diagnose and repair the fault within 3 working days.
4.5
Performance guarantees. Due to the shared nature of networks and external factors beyond our control, such as access to third-party content and services, the availability of your internet access and the speed of the Broadband Service delivered to your router may vary from time to time. Speeds measured over Wi-Fi are likely to be lower than the advertised speed to the router for the Broadband Service. Although we strive to ensure satisfactory Wi-Fi performance and coverage throughout your home, such performance and coverage are not guaranteed as part of the Broadband Service, as they are subject to factors beyond our reasonable control, including limitations inherent in Wi-Fi technology and environmental factors specific to your location and the device in use.
