15. Suspension

15.1. We may at our sole discretion (without liability and without affecting any other right or remedy that we may have under these Conditions) temporarily suspend the Services either in whole or in part and/or temporarily disconnect any telephone number until further notice, provided that we use reasonable endeavours to notify you in advance, in the event that:

15.1.8. Operational reasons require it;

15.2. With respect to any suspension or disconnection under sub-clauses 15.1.1, 15.1.2, 15.1.3, 15.1.4, 15.1.5, 15.1.6, or 15.1.7.

16. Commencement, cancellation rights prior to the provision of Services and Termination.

16.1. For orders placed with a confirmed Service Agreement, the Commencement Date will be the date of the signed Service Agreement. For orders placed on the Company’s website or by telephone, the Commencement Date will be the date you confirm the order by email. Should you fail to confirm your order in writing the Contract will commence from the date advised to you in our correspondence unless we have advised you that your order will be cancelled without your confirmation. Where there may be any conflict regarding the Commencement Date, then you agree the Commencement Date will be the date that the Services were first provided to you.

16.2. We may cancel the Contract prior to the first provision of Services to you with no liability if you fail a credit check or if for any other reason we are unable to provide the Services.

16.3. You may cancel the Contract prior to the first provision of Services to you (whether in whole or in part) within any cooling off period (if any) specified in the applicable Service Agreement and by using the cancellation process specified in the relevant Service Agreement.

16.4. We may terminate the Contract (or any Services provided under this Contract) by giving you:

16.4.1. 30 days’ notice; or

16.4.2. Immediately if:

16.4.2.1. You do not make payments to us when they are due;

16.4.2.2. You do not perform or observe any material obligation under the Contract, whether such obligation is specified in the Contract as material or not (a "material breach");

16.4.2.3. You do not perform or observe any other obligations under the Contract (a "breach") and where such breach can be remedied, you fail to remedy the breach within any reasonable time specified by us in a written notice requiring you to do so;

16.4.2.4. A voluntary arrangement is proposed, or a bankruptcy petition is presented or a bankruptcy order is made against you or a receiver or trustee is appointed over your estate or, being a company, you become subject to an administration order (within the meaning of the Insolvency Act 1986) or, being a company, you go into liquidation (except for the purposes of amalgamation or re-construction and in such a manner that the company resulting therefrom effectively agrees to be bound by or assume the obligations imposed on that other party under the Contract);

16.4.2.5. We have reason to believe that you have provided us with false, inaccurate or misleading information either for the purpose of obtaining the Services from us, or during the provision of the Services;

16.4.2.6. We are required to comply with an order, instruction or request of any competent authority;

16.4.2.7. Any contract between us and any of our suppliers which enables us to provide the Services is cancelled or terminated; or

16.4.2.8. Any other authority we have to provide the Services ends.

16.5 Details of your rights to terminate any of the Services both at and prior to the end of the Minimum Term are contained in the applicable Service Agreement (subject always to any Minimum Spend requirement outlined therein and any cancellation charges which may be payable), together with information regarding the parties’ respective rights upon and immediately following termination.

16.6 Cisco routers which are provided as part of an Assured or Converged broadband service, are a managed router from the network, and upon the cancellation of this broadband circuit, the router is required to be returned to the network within 28 days of the cancellation. Should a Cisco router not be returned within 28 days a £270.00 charge will be incurred.

16.7 Accordingly, in setting ETCs (Early Termination Charge), we consider a reasonable pre-estimate of the position an account would be in had the customer continued with services as the contract obliged (i.e. the losses it incurs because the contract is not performed for its fixed term). We will fairly recover in an ETC a sum that reflects that position. Telecoms World will make a reasonable pre-estimate of:

16.7.1 the costs it saves because it no longer has to perform the contract; and

17.6.2 the losses caused by the early termination that it can mitigate, and deducting those from the fixed contractural retail payments outstanding on termination.

16.8 That pre-estimate will include, for example, any variable costs Telecoms World saves on the particular contract terminated (or, in practice, on contracts for the type of services concerned to the types of customers concerned). Again, the same analysis would apply to a term that provides for a charge where the consumers contract because of the consumer's breach. We also include a reasonable pre-estimate of any network costs in a particular, reasonable period averaged over the group of consumers terminating contracts early.

17. General
17.1. We reserve the right to change these Conditions and/or the Services at any time. We will notify you of any changes we make to the Conditions either by writing to you or posting the Conditions on our website before the changes come into effect. If a change is likely to be of material detriment to you, we will give you 30 days’ notice of the change. In the event of a change which is of material detriment to you, you may terminate the Contract (or the part of the Contract that applies to the Services affected by the change) before the change becomes effective by giving us written notice or by contacting our customer services department and by specifying your reason for termination. In this instance, you will not be liable to pay any cancellation charges.

17.2. Neither party will be deemed to be in breach of the Contract or otherwise be liable by reason of any delay in performance or non-performance of any of its obligations under the Contract (other than the obligation to make payments due under it) to the extent that such delay or non-performance is caused by a matter beyond its reasonable control of which it has notified the other party, including but not limited to insurrection or civil disorder, war or military operation, international, national or local emergency, acts or omissions of government, highway authority or other competent authority, failure or delay of a supplier to supply us with the Services, compliance with any statutory or regulatory obligation or constraint, industrial disputes of any kind (whether or not involving our employees), fire, lightning, explosion, flood, subsidence, weather of exceptional severity, or acts or omissions of persons for whom it is not responsible (including in particular other telecommunications service providers). If, pursuant to this clause, either party is unable to perform its obligations under the Contract for a continuous period of 90 days or more, either party may terminate the Contract in whole or in part with immediate effect on giving written notice to the other.

17.3. No single or partial exercise, or failure or delay in exercising any right, power or remedy by any party will constitute a waiver by that party of, or impair or preclude any further exercise of that or any right, power or remedy arising under the Contract or otherwise.

17.4. The Contract sets out the entire agreement and understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings or arrangements, whether written or oral, in respect of the subject matter of the Contract.

17.5. Unless expressly provided in these Conditions, no term of the Contract will be enforceable pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person who is not a party to the Contract.

17.6. If any provision of the Contract is found by any court or competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed not to be a part of this Contract and it shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of this Contract.

17.7. Any dispute arising under or in connection with the Contract shall be referred to arbitration by the IDRS. Please see http://www.idrs.ltd.uk. The costs of the arbitrator shall be borne by the parties as he directs and his decision on the issue in dispute shall be final.

17.8. The Contract will be governed by, interpreted and construed in accordance with English law and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England.
