I (as a customer) certify the details supplied in accordance with this agreement are correct as stated, and I agree to abide by the terms and conditions outlined in this agreement for the purpose of usage of any connection and any accompanying equipment issued.
- The interpretation:
“We” means Aquafi Mobile Ltd and “you” means the account holder under this agreement.
- Commencement Date:
This agreement begins when we set up your connection to our service to be available for your use or from the date your
connection is activated. The agreement term shall be the term as agreed by both parties and as stated on this agreement.
- Fixed or non fixed Term:
The agreement term shall be the term as agreed by both parties and as stated on this agreement.
If your connection to our service is for a fixed term:
This agreement will continue for the duration of that fixed term, including the period of any suspension unless the suspension was requested by you in accordance with this agreement, in which case the period of any such suspension will be added onto the fixed term. If you terminate this agreement before the end of that fixed term you may have to pay termination charges. If your connection does not have a fixed term, this agreement continues on a month by month basis until it is terminated in accordance with these terms and conditions. You may charge your plan during the contract term, the fee to do so is calculated: original device subsidy less the subsidy on the plan you wish to change to, divided by 24 months and multiplied by remaining term.
- Services and Coverage:
While we will do our best to provide quality service, because of the nature of mobile telecommunications and connection network provided by Vodafone, it is impossible to provide a fault-free service and the quality and coverage of the services depends partly on your mobile devices, partly on our service and partly Vodafone and other Telecommunications networks.
You are responsible for checking the mobile service coverage area prior to entering this agreement, and understand that under no circumstance, and for any reason do we accept liability or claims of compensation from the customer for interruptions to service due to the customer entering a non-coverage area.
- Cancellation of Services:
In the instance that you wish to terminate this agreement before the end of the agreed term, we ask only for at least one month billing cycle written notice in advance and payment of any outstanding current charges and early termination fee which is scheduled upon the length of the agreed period. Additional pricing plan charges may also apply in accordance with these terms and conditions. Where you wish to port the number to another network provider other than Vodafone, or, use on Pre-pay on any network, please be aware in the first instance you will need to once transfer to a Vodafone Pre-pay account, and, then arrange port with your new provider.
- Fixed Term Plan Early Termination Charges (ETC):
Time in Contract: 1 to 6 months – 100% of subsidy, 7 to 12 months – 80% of subsidy, 13 to 18 months – 50% of subsidy, 19 to 24 months – 30% of subsidy
