7. Service Installation and Activation
If you possess the legal authority, you are required to grant us access to your property for the installation of our equipment necessary to provide the Service. It is your responsibility to acquire any licenses and permissions necessary for us to install, operate, and maintain the Service. If you lack the legal authority to grant us these privileges, you must obtain consent from the relevant parties who can provide such authorization. Additionally, you need to ensure that these individuals obtain the required licenses and permissions for us to proceed. We retain the right to withhold Service installation until we are assured that all necessary consents and permissions have been obtained.
If you, or any relevant third party, do not provide, obtain, or maintain the necessary licenses, consents, and permissions, we are not obligated to provide the Service at the property. In such a case, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement. Additionally, you will be liable to pay us for any costs or damages incurred due to the failure to obtain the required licenses, consents, and permissions.
Our installation teams work to agreed standards and only use approved equipment. Unless otherwise stated, or agreed with you, our installation fees are charged as per our Price Book.
The approved third-party installation team or our own installation team will have your contact details so they can keep you updated and let you know of any changes to your installation. They will only use your details in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Our installation teams require access to your property to route the fibre cable from the nearest demarcation point in the street to your chosen location inside your premises, where they will install the fibre equipment. If access to your property is not available, the installation may be canceled, and you could be responsible for a canceled appointment fee.
During the installation process, our teams will make every effort to minimise disruption, and we commit to repairing or replacing any damage, beyond what would be expected from a skilled installer, to your reasonable satisfaction within your premises. Please note that general tidying up, vacuuming, or surface cleaning remains your responsibility.
In certain cases, a non-standard installation may be necessary due to an extended access route or specialised surface requirements. If such a situation arises, we will conduct a cost assessment and furnish you with a written estimate. Upon your approval, the additional one-time cost for this work will be invoiced to you, and payment will be due upon completion of the installation.
Our technician will perform a risk assessment before commencing work and if an installation technician decides that it is not feasible or is unable to perform the installation due to safety concerns, we will not proceed with the installation. We will notify you and attempt to resolve the concern with your help so we can try to complete the installation as soon as possible.
Changes in your requirements, such as altering the cable route or contract term, might impact our ability to conduct a standard installation and affect your charges.
Our installation team will attempt to complete the job. If they can’t due to reasons like safety concerns or complex routes, they’ll suggest rescheduling. You may incur a Non-Standard Installation fee per the Price Book.
We will activate your Service after the installation has been successfully completed. Alternatively, if you already have an existing installation of our equipment inside your premises and only require a Service activation, we will only activate Service once a Sales Order has been confirmed.
If you, or any relevant third party, do not provide, obtain, or maintain the necessary licenses, consents, and permissions, we are not obligated to provide the Service at the property.
