22.2 Cambrian's Privacy Policy (as amended from time to time) is available at https://cambrianconnect.co.uk (or any other online address that Cambrian advises the Customer of).
23.1 Assignment and other dealings
23.2 Cambrian may at any time assign its rights under the Contract and may subcontract or delegate in any manner any or all of its obligations under the Contract to any third party.
23.3 The Customer shall not, without the prior written consent of Cambrian, assign any of its rights or obligations under the Contract
23.4 Waiver
Even if Cambrian delays in enforcing the Contract, Cambrian can still enforce it later. If Cambrian does not insist immediately that the Customer does anything that is required under these terms, or if Cambrian delays in taking steps against the Customer in respect of the Customer breaking the Contract, that will not mean that the Customer does not have to do those things and it will not prevent Cambrian taking steps against the Customer at a later date. For example, if the Customer misses a payment and Cambrian does not chase the Customer but Cambrian continues to provide the Goods and/or Services, Cambrian can still require the Customer to make the payment at a later date.
23.5 Severance
If a court finds part of this Contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
23.6 Third party rights
No one other than a party to the Contract shall have any right to enforce any of its terms.
23.7 Governing law and jurisdiction
The Contract, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Furthermore, you will use such equipment in accordance with any instructions, safety and security procedures applicable to the use of that equipment. You acknowledge that all such third party equipment remains owned by the relevant third party and you will be responsible for such equipment while installed at your premises.

You will indemnify us against any claims arising from your use of the areas or any content of the areas, which you post, or create.

This includes, but is not limited to, “denial of service” (DoS) and “distributed denial of service” (DDoS) attacks against another network or individual user. DoS attacks will result in immediate termination of the Broadband Service.
4.5 Any attempt, whether successful or not, to gain access to or retrieve data from any computer system without authorisation from its maintainer or owner will lead to immediate termination of the Broadband Service and possibly to prosecution. This applies to port scanning, vulnerability probes and intentional distribution of “Trojan horse” programs, viruses and worms, as well as making use of systems compromised by third parties.

4.10 We may require you to change your email address and/or website address (if supplied to you) and we may suspend the services if we reasonably believe that any URL or email address you are using is likely to be offensive, abusive, defamatory or obscene or in breach of paragraph 4.9 and you will be responsible for any losses, expenses or other costs incurred by us that are caused by your breach of paragraphs.
5.1 You will pay us the applicable charges for the Broadband Services to which you subscribed, as set out on the Order Form, Purchase Order or as otherwise notified by us to you (the Fees). We reserve the right to change the Fees at any time on giving you not less than 28 days’ notice. The changed fees will apply on expiry of this 28-day period unless you tell us in the meantime that you want to terminate this Agreement.
5.2 We will bill you each month in advance for the Fees applicable. All customers are asked to pay by Direct Debit. For customers choosing to pay by invoice, we reserve the right to charge a monthly £5.00 administration fee. If any instruction for such payment is not confirmed by no later than 7 days prior to the start of the relevant calendar month, we may suspend the provision of the Broadband Services to you immediately without notice. For customers paying by Direct Debit, we will seek payment from your bank or building society via a direct debit mandate on or after the day on which the Fees are payable/due. If any instruction for such payment is not confirmed by your bank/building society by the day on which the Fees are payable/due, we may suspend the provision of the Services to you immediately without notice. We may seek to represent unpaid Direct Debits.
5.3 If we suffer a charge-back (being a debit from our bank account or repayment by us as a result of a transaction dispute procedure initiated by you) of any Fees (or part of them) paid by you to us, you will immediately repay us for the charged back sum and we may: (a) immediately without notice suspend the provision of the Broadband Services to you; and/or (b) charge interest on the charged back sum at a rate of 4% above the base rate of Starling Bank until the sum is repaid to us.
5.4 You may be required to pay a re-connection charge at our rates in force at that time if you wish to be reconnected following a suspension of the Broadband Services resulting from paragraphs 5.2 and/or 5.3.
5.5 If it is necessary to install the Broadband Service on a different property or site at any time, for example as a result of you moving premises, you will be required to pay a moving fee. A quotation is available on request and may be subject to a minimum fee. See also paragraph 9.9 below.
5.6 Our Broadband Packages come with unlimited data usage, but they are subject to a Network Management and Fair Use Policy. We work to provide our customers with a sustainable quality broadband service. Certain applications, such as peer-to-peer file sharing, large file downloads and news groups, which use up lots of bandwidth and can have a negative impact on other customers, may operate slower at peak times. Our network’s busiest times are between 4 and 11pm on weekdays and all day at weekends, but it can be busy at others times as well – depending on the demands on the network. We monitor customers who use the most bandwidth and whose usage has a negative effect on others. Customers who download large amounts at peak times regularly may have restrictions placed on their accounts to reduce their download speeds at peak times. Only a few customers will be affected by this: fewer than 5%. We remove these restrictions when the network is not busy.
6.1 In order to enable you to use the Broadband Services, we may provide you with security details, i.e. a username and password. You will be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of the security details. Where the security details include a password that may be changed by you, you will change the password at frequent and regular intervals.
6.2 You will immediately notify us if any of the security details: (a) have been disclosed to an unauthorised person or are, or may be used in an unauthorised way (or if you suspect, or have reason to suspect that this may occur or have occurred); and/or (b) have been lost or stolen.
6.3 We may suspend your security details if at any time we think that there is, or is likely to be, a breach of security and require you change any password.
6.4 You will be responsible for all actions undertaken by anyone else using the security details unless you have given notice to us at the first possible opportunity upon becoming aware of the events listed in paragraphs 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) above as the case may be. We may suspend the Broadband Services and you will fully indemnify us from all losses resulting from such actions.
6.5 You accept that the Broadband Services are secure in the way of a Hardware firewall but we do not guarantee the prevention or detection of any unauthorised attempts to access the Broadband Services.
6.6 You agree to keep in confidence any information (whether written or oral) of a confidential nature (including software and manuals) obtained under or in connection with this Agreement and will only use such information in order to receive the Broadband Services.

IMPORTANT: Strict restrictions on use of SIM card provided
It should be noted that it is a strict condition of service that the SIM card provided by Cambrian Connect to Subscriber as part of provisioning Subscriber's 4G broadband service MUST ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY BE USED in the 4G equipment as also supplied by Cambrian Connect to Subscriber. If for any reason or at any stage, Subscriber removes the SIM card supplied by Cambrian Connect and fits it into any other 4G-enabled device (e.g. a laptop computer, tablet, mobile phone, alternative 4G modem or similar), then Subscriber specifically and unconditionally accepts and acknowledges that he/she may become liable for potentially substantial data overage charges or other charges as may relate to premium services, if these are utilised by Subscriber.
It should also be noted that it is a strict condition of service that the SIM card provided by Cambrian Connect to Subscriber as part of provisioning Subscriber's Cambrian Connect service MUST ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY BE USED within the confines of the United Kingdom. If for any reason or at any stage, Subscriber accesses the 4G broadband connection provided by Cambrian Connect in any other country or territory, then Subscriber specifically and unconditionally accepts and acknowledges that he/she may become liable for potentially substantial and additional data roaming charges.
It should similarly be noted that it is a further strict condition of service that Subscriber undertakes NOT TO ALTER, AMEND OR DISABLE any of the parameters relating to remote monitoring that Cambrian Connect may have set within any of the equipment as supplied by Cambrian Connect to Subscriber. If for any reason or at any stage, Subscriber has altered, amended or disabled any of these parameters within any of the equipment as supplied by Cambrian Connect, then Subscriber again specifically and unconditionally accepts and acknowledges that he/she may become liable for potentially substantial data overage charges.
Please note that powering off or performing a factory reset on the equipment as supplied by Cambrian Connect will not cause any of the remote monitoring parameters to be altered, amended or disabled.
In direct relation to the preceding paragraphs, data overage charges may be applied to any consumption of data by Subscriber above and beyond the monthly data allowance inherent within the 4G broadband package to which Subscriber has subscribed. If data overage occurs, but Subscriber has not at any stage during the month altered, amended or disabled any of the parameters relating to remote monitoring within the equipment as supplied by Cambrian Connect to Subscriber, then data overage charges will not be applicable.
It is important to note that when applicable, charges for data overage are substantially higher - by a factor of twenty or more - than the "per GB" rate reflected in the monthly pricing of 4G broadband packages as offered by Cambrian Connect. As of July 2020, if applicable, data overages are chargeable to Subscriber at £8.00 inc VAT per GB or part thereof.
In all cases, Cambrian Connect will invoice Subscriber for and Subscriber shall pay for any agreed one-off up-front charges relating to the provisioning of the ordered 4G broadband service, including (where relevant) but not limited to:-
- External 4G antenna
- Internal combo 4G Modem/Wi-fi Router
- Internal and/or external WI-FI access points
- Installation and set-up of such
- Unique SIM card and account activation
- Appropriate delivery charge
- Any additional equipment ordered by Subscriber
However, it should be noted that Cambrian Connect supplies 4G broadband services according to two different transactional methodologies, dependent upon which 4G network any Subscriber is provisioned upon.
In some cases, Cambrian Connect itself bills the Subscriber directly for the ongoing Service on a monthly basis and therefore has a greater level of responsibility to the Subscriber in relation to the Service.
In other cases, Cambrian Connect will simply arrange for the Subscriber to sign up directly into a contractual relationship with the providing 4G Network Operator, who will then itself bill the Subscriber directly for the ongoing Service on a monthly basis. In this event, the 4G Network Operator will hold all responsibilities to the Subscriber in relation to the Service.
Therefore, different sections of the below Terms & Conditions will apply dependant upon the case, as detailed below.
A. In the event where Cambrian Connect itself bills Subscriber directly on a monthly basis for the ongoing provision of the Service(that being a direct transactional relationship between Cambrian Connect and Subscriber), the following sections of the Terms & Conditions shall apply:- Sections 1 - 24
B. In the event where Cambrian Connect does not itself bill Subscriber directly on a monthly basis for the ongoing provision of the Service (that instead being a direct transactional relationship between the 4G Network Operator and Subscriber enabled by Cambrian Connect), the following sections of the Terms & Conditions shall apply:- Sections 1-4, 5.1-5.2, 5.5-5.13, 6-7, 10-11, 14-16, 21-24

5.1. Subscriber agrees to pay the Charges for the Equipment, Installation, Account Activation and other items related to set up as detailed on any order.
5.1.1. Specifically in relation to charges applied by Cambrian Connect to all elements of initial set-up, including but not necessarily limited to Equipment, Installation and Account Activation, it should be noted that the pricing offered by Cambrian Connect is subsidised and as such is offered to Subscriber entirely conditional to and dependent upon Subscriber signing up to a monthly 4G broadband plan as solely supplied by or through Cambrian Connect and adhering to the minimum term of the contract associated with that plan.
5.1.2. In the event that Subscriber either does not take out a monthly 4G broadband plan from Cambrian Connect or fails to adhere to the minimum term of the contract associated with that plan, then Subscriber acknowledges that he or she will immediately become fully liable to pay any difference between the subsidised pricing of Equipment, Installation and Account Activation as originally invoiced by Cambrian Connect and the full or unsubsidised pricing for such.
5.2. Subscriber further agrees to pay the Charges for the Service and other items related to the Service as detailed in any communication.
5.3. VAT Invoices will be sent by email on a monthly basis or upon request to support@cambrianconnect.co.uk
5.4. Subscriber must keep a Direct Debit mandate active with their bank to allow payments to be drawn automatically by Cambrian Connect for the Service. Subscriber must keep such payment method details up-to-date and active or the Service may be withdrawn due to non-payment.
5.5. Cambrian Connect does not have any access to your card details or your Direct Debit details which are held securely by the transaction processors, “Quickbooks” and GoCardless respectively.
5.6. Activation and the first Charges are due on date of first invoice.
5.7. Subsequent Charges will be due on the monthly data reset date as appropriate, unless otherwise informed by Cambrian Connect.
5.8. Continued access to the Service will incur a charge payable on the Start Date and ongoing charges thereafter to be paid by the payment method entered on the Account by Subscriber. The frequency and value of subsequent charges will be established at the time of the latest order for the Service
5.9. Failure to pay the charges will result in access to the Service being withdrawn.
5.10. An automatic increase will be applied once a year - typically every April - to the amounts charged to Subscriber on a monthly basis. The increase applied will be a percentage equal to the retail prices index rate published by the Office for National Statistics in March (RPI rate).
5.11. Where relevant, Subscriber may purchase TopUps for which payments are immediately due and will be taken automatically from the card details entered on the Account.
5.12. If Subscriber allows the Account to lapse for any reason or terminates it, it may be possible to re-activate it if it has not been completely deleted on payment of a Re-activation Charge – currently identical to the Activation Charge in force at the time.
5.13. If the Account no longer exists on our system, then a new Account will need to be setup and for which a full Activation Charge may then be due.
5.14. Unless stated otherwise, all Charges for the Service are inclusive of Value Added Tax at the UK standard rate of 20% or such rate(s) that may be in force at time of invoice.
6.1. Cambrian Connect retains Title to the Equipment Set purchased and any other goods supplied until they have been paid for in full.
6.2. If any Equipment Set or other goods have been installed under funding from any regional or central Government subsidy scheme, then AT NO TIME shall Title to such pass to you. Furthermore, should you move from the property where the funded Equipment Set and/or other goods have been installed under funding from any Government subsidy scheme, you MUST leave all such equipment behind for potential use by and/or benefit of any future occupier of the property.
6.3. All risks associated with the Equipment whether purchased, supplied under any regional or central government subsidy scheme or otherwise supplied shall pass to you upon delivery and it will be your responsibility to insure the Equipment against loss, theft, fire, flood and any other risk of loss or damage from this point;
7.1. Warranty on any Equipment supplied shall normally be on a “Return To Base” basis. This means that you must return the piece of Equipment suspected as being faulty under Warranty to us for test and repair or replacement as required.
7.2 At its discretion and in an effort to increase the efficiency of the Warranty process, Cambrian Connect may choose to supply replacement Equipment out to you on an "Advance Replacement" basis. This means that we may provide you with a replacement piece of Equipment under the Warranty process before you have returned the piece of Equipment suspected as being faulty under Warranty to us.
7.3 In the event of 7.2 above, we will raise an invoice against you for the value of the piece of Equipment that we send out under "Advance Replacement" and despatch it along with that piece of Equipment. In order for you to avoid having to pay this invoice, it is imperative that you return the piece of Equipment suspected of being faulty under Warranty to us at your own expense. If you do not do this, you will be charged the value shown on the invoice referred to above. You should therefore ensure that you always retain any piece of Equipment suspected of being faulty under Warranty during any engineer visit arranged by us, so that you may return it to us. The responsibility for so doing is entirely yours.
7.4. Equipment must be in its original box and then securely and safely packaged in an outer carton suitable for the purpose.
7.5. Costs of return to us and suitable packaging are your responsibility. We will cover the cost of packaging and despatch to you, usually via courier.
7.6. During any Warranty period, we shall have responsibility for repair or replacement of our Equipment except that you accept full responsibility for cost of repair or replacement of our Equipment when the damage or problem has been caused by your negligence, misuse, abuse or violation of any part of this Agreement that is out of our control.
7.7. Warranty on the external installation is the responsibility of the Installer. Where installation is supplied by Cambrian Connect, warranty is as per the CAI Code of Practice: 12 months on equipment used and quality of installation. Wind damage, impact to the external 4G antenna (if fitted), damage other than fair wear and tear are all expressly excluded.
7.8. Warranty and support on accessories such as Wi-Fi Routers, VOIP Adapters etc should be sought from the manufacturer and the manufacturer helpline.
7.9. We do not offer support on equipment or accessories not supplied by us.
7.10. First line support is offered only by phone or email to support@cambrianconnect.co.uk
7.11. Within the UK, a Service Call may be booked if on-site support is required. A service call maybe deemed necessary should there be a “total” loss of service. The cost of call out may be chargeable depending on circumstances and in particular if the service effecting issue is deemed to have been caused by preventable human error or action.
7.12. We do not offer onsite service or installation outside UK. We are happy to provide support to you or your installer by phone or email wherever you are.
8.1. Cambrian Connect agrees to provide Subscriber with the Service on the terms and conditions of this Contract and in performing Cambrian Connect's obligations under this Contract Cambrian Connect will exercise the reasonable care and skill of an Internet Service Provider.
8.2. The Service can only be provided to computer systems that are operating normally and without any infection by viruses or Trojans or other malware that may put other users at risk. Subscriber acknowledges that such use breaches the Unacceptable Use Section 13 and undertakes to keep their system updated, operating normally and kept free of such malware.
8.3. The Service may only be used at the location specified for installation at the time of the Subscriber placing his or her initial order. Cambrian Connect specifically makes no guarantee that the Service will work satisfactorily at any other location.
8.4. To use the Service the Subscriber must have initiated the Start Date defined in 1.19 and have been notified by Cambrian Connect that Subscriber has been accepted to use the Service.
8.5. Provision of the Service is dependent upon a satisfactory installation. Initiating the Start Date does not mean the Service can be successfully activated or that the Subscriber's application has been accepted.
8.6. The Service can only be provided to installations which are covered by a sufficiently strong 4G signal from the network on which the Subscriber will be provisioned. Postcode checkers to estimate 4G coverage from each of the networks used by Cambrian Connect to deliver its Service are available online.
8.7. The Service can only be provided to correctly installed and set up equipment supplied by Cambrian Connect, including an external 4G antenna if such proves necessary in the opinion of Cambrian Connect.
8.8. Subscriber must ensure that any equipment or services connected to or used with the Service is used in accordance with any instructions and safety procedures provided by the suppliers of that equipment and services.
8.9. The Service is provided to the combo 4G Modem/Wi-fi Router supplied by Cambrian Connect. Cambrian Connect does not support any third party equipment that has not been provided by Cambrian Connect to the Subscriber networks setup, configuration or operation other than the information provided in the equipment User Manual.
8.10. Subscriber agrees that in order to receive the Service, some modifications may need to be made to Subscriber's PC and its operating software to make it operate with the Service. As with any installation of new hardware or software, a full back up of the software (including operating software) on the PC should be made before any changes to that software are made. Cambrian Connect hereby excludes liability for any claims, loss, demands or damage of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Service, including, without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damages, whether arising from loss or profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of use or otherwise and whether or not the possibility of such loss has been notified to Cambrian Connect.
8.11. Cambrian Connect expressly disclaims any and all warranties express or implied, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation satisfactory quality, fitness for particular purpose with respect to the Service. Nothing in this Contract removes or limits Cambrian Connect's liability for death or personal injury or fraud caused by something Cambrian Connect has done or has failed to do.
9.1. Cambrian Connect cannot accept any responsibility for any defects, errors or faults in the Service but will endeavour to have any reported faults corrected by the relevant 4G Network Operator as soon as reasonably possible. The Service is distributed on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.
9.2. The internet is a shared resource and because of that, performance cannot be guaranteed.
9.3. The Service is delivered by 4G signal and is dependent on the quality of the individual installation, atmospheric conditions and the 4G network operation itself. In normal operation, availability should be better than 99% but no specific guarantees on availability or performance can be given.
9.4. The Service inevitably has a somewhat higher latency than traditional terrestrial broadband services. Typical latency is of the order of 40ms (when compared to the average 15ms typical with terrestrial services). The higher latency means that a 4G service will be a little slower to respond than the equivalent terrestrial service. This should not have any noticeable effect on all normal internet-based activity – although, certain real-time fast feedback applications such as multiplayer online action gaming may see some slight degradation in responsiveness.
9.5. Most VPNs work effectively over 4G. Some VPNs may need to be configured to allow the higher latency of 4G.
9.6. Service parameters, including monthly data allowances, are specified for the overall connection as delivered to the combo 4G Modem/Wi-fi Router. Where the connection is shared between other computers and devices, the data allowance is also shared.
9.7. Unless otherwise stated, Service is generally provided on an unlimited data allowance basis, but subject to fair usage policies published from time to time by 4G Network Operators. Data allowances apply to the overall mix of data downloaded and uploaded.
9.8. Where applicable, certain Packages allow a set data amount for upload and download each month. If the current monthly usage limit is reached, the Subscriber must purchase additional data to continue using the Service during that month.
9.9. Subscriber acknowledges and accepts that the speeds described in the description of the Service are average speeds, not actual speeds at all times. Actual speeds may vary, based on a number of variables entirely outside Cambrian Connect's control.
9.10. Actual speeds achieved will be affected by many factors including, but not limited to:
9.10.1. internet congestion at the time;
9.10.2. performance of any router or other network device installed by Subscriber;
9.10.3. performance of local wi-fi connection and environment;
9.10.4. performance of Subscriber computer(s) and browser(s) which must be operating normally (i.e. without any errors or error messages or system warnings) and with an operating system kept up-to-date with all updates and patches applied;
9.10.5. number of computers and other internet enabled devices using the Service;
9.10.6. number of TCP sessions opened;
9.10.7. number and nature of applications and downloads running in the background;
9.10.8. malware and virus infection on Subscriber's computer or other devices with access to Subscriber's local network;
9.10.9. where applicable, speed step of the Subscriber's chosen package as determined by the amount of data used in conjunction with the usage parameters of that package as may be stated in the Service Package Description;
9.10.10. performance of the website or internet service that the Subscriber is attempting to use;
9.10.11. performance of the speed test server and the connection established between this server and the Subscriber's computer running the speed test.
9.11. In the case of any plans or packages described as offering unlimited data, it should be noted that these should provide Subscribers with all the access to the internet needed for normal internet usage permissible under these Terms and Conditions and subject to fair usage.
9.11.1. However certain usages of the 4G broadband connections provided by Cambrian Connect are not permitted under these Terms and Conditions (please see Section 13 below for more detail).
9.11.2. Plans or packages made available by Cambrian Connect prior to October 1st 2019 and described as offering unlimited data therefore come with a monthly usage cap set at 1,000 GB, the reaching of which point will result in the Service being suspended in order to help identify potential non-permitted usage.
9.11.3. It is extremely unlikely that such a point will be reached if Subscriber is using the service in permitted fashion. However, should Cambrian Connect then establish that Subscriber's usage of the Service has in fact been entirely permissible, it will re-enable Subscriber's connection with as minimal interruption as possible, so that Subscriber may then continue to use the Service.
9.11.4. Plans or packages made available by Cambrian Connect on or after October 1st 2019 and described as offering unlimited data have no such monthly usage caps and are therefore fully unlimited in terms of monthly data allowance but subject to fair usage. Despite this, certain usages of the 4G broadband connections provided by Cambrian Connect remain not permitted under these Terms and Conditions (please see Section 13 below for more detail).
9.12. The Service may be suspended for operational reasons (such as maintenance or upgrades) or because of an emergency. If it is made aware by a 4G Network Operator of any suspension to or interruption of the Service before such occurs, Cambrian Connect will give Subscriber as much notice as is reasonably possible.
9.13. If a 4G Network Operator has to alter technical specifications associated with the Service for operational reasons, Cambrian Connect will endeavour to give Subscriber as much notice as possible, where appropriate.
9.14. Cambrian Connect may give Subscriber instructions concerning the use of the Service and Subscriber agrees to observe such instructions as are issued.
10.1. Cambrian Connect offers a regional installation service in the UK for installation and set up of the external 4G antenna and internal combo 4G Modem/Wi-fi Router. In addition, Subscribers may carry out their own installation or commission their own installer - but not in the event of any equipment being supplied to Subscriber under any Government subsidy scheme. In any case, the installation must be carried out with due care to Health and Safety, construction regulations and electrical regulations. Subscribers should consult a qualified professional such as a CAI Member. The install must be carried out as per the installation manual provided and following the CAI Code of Practice (www.cai.org.uk).
10.2. Any installation warranty issues must be raised first with the original installer. Where Cambrian Connect carried out the install, we will not cover warranty visits from a different installer.
10.3. A "Standard Installation" is defined as having a maximum cable run of 5m from the external dish 4G antenna to the internal combo 4G Modem/Wi-fi Router, the external antenna being mounted no more than one storey high, on a suitably facing wall through a single wall to a single internal point with no special bracketry or special access requirements but does not include any additional travel costs for rural remote installations.
10.4. In certain cases and dependant upon the strength of the received 4G signal at the Subscriber's location, it may be possible for the Service to be satisfactorily provisioned without the need for an external 4G antenna and thus without a professional installation either. Cambrian Connect itself will advise if this is a possibility and specifically excludes any responsibility for the performance of the Service, should a Subscriber choose not to have an external 4G antenna, when it has been advised that one is necessary.
10.5. Subscribers are advised that, in the event of any equipment being supplied to Subscriber under any Government subsidy scheme, the fitting of an external 4G antenna and the professional installation of such is a mandatory requirement, regardless of 4G signal strength at the Subscriber's location.
10.6. Some more remote and rural post codes may be subject to a post code supplemental charge to cover additional fuel and travelling time costs. Where possible Cambrian Connect will try and absorb this supplemental charge if the installation can be arranged into normal daily activities or journeys. The Remote areas are categorised:
10.6.1. Rural Travel Surcharge – England/ Wales
10.6.2. Rural Travel Surcharge – Scotland
10.6.3. Rural Travel Surcharge – Highlands
10.7. Special requirements may need extra work which will be quoted by Cambrian Connect or the installer to Subscriber before proceeding.
10.8. Setting up of Subscriber networks or special systems is not covered by the Standard Installation.
10.9. You should retain all the original packaging in case you need to return any equipment to us for service or warranty or if you wish to return equipment to us as per your statutory rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
11.1. OFCOM requires that providers of Electronic Communication Services have a transparent, accessible and effective Code of Practice for Complaints Handling with appropriate access to Alternative Disputes Resolution process (ADR).
11.2. Our aim is to provide a high-level of customer service and support. However we recognise that problems can occur and this Code of Practice outlines what we will do to put things right as quickly as possible. You may request a hardcopy at any time from support@cambrianconnect.co.uk and it may be published on our website.
12.1. Cambrian Connect is not liable whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise for the acts or omissions of other providers of telecommunications services of for the faults in or failures of their networks and equipment.
12.2. Subscriber agrees that Cambrian Connect has no control over the information that can be accessed by using the Service, and that Cambrian Connect does not control the use to which Subscriber puts the Service or the nature of the information Subscriber is sending or receiving.
12.3. The Service provides the Subscriber with an ability to use the internet. The internet is separate from the Service and use of the Internet is at Subscriber's own risk and is subject to any applicable laws. Cambrian Connect has no responsibility for any goods, services, information, software, or other materials obtained by Subscriber when using the Internet.
12.4. Subscriber also acknowledges that data transmitted via the Internet may be protected by third party rights, including inter alia, intellectual property rights and copyright. Subscriber is solely responsible for the data Subscriber consults and transfers via the Internet, and Subscriber may not transmit or request data that violates or may violate any third party's rights.
12.5. Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Internet is not a secure network, in particular regarding data transmissions. Accordingly, Cambrian Connect does not warrant the integrity, authentication and confidentiality of the information, files and data exchanged by Subscriber via the Internet. Subscriber is responsible for taking all appropriate steps to protect Subscriber's data and/or software from corruption, virus contamination or intrusion in Subscriber's computer.
12.6. Restrictions on Use:
12.6.1. Subscriber must not re-sell or attempt to re-sell the Service;
12.6.2. Subscriber will not use the Service in a way that does not comply with the terms of any legislation or any license applicable to Subscriber or Cambrian Connect or that is in any way unlawful or fraudulent or has any unlawful or fraudulent purpose or effect;
12.6.3. Additional terms and conditions may be displayed online or elsewhere relating to particular services. If Subscriber chooses to access such services, Subscriber will need to comply with such additional terms and conditions.
13.1. Cambrian Connect reserves the right to immediately suspend the Service, or refuse the Service and terminate this Contract, without liability, if the Subscriber, or anyone using the Subscriber's account, uses the Service:
13.1.1. fraudulently, for fraudulent purposes or in connection with any criminal offence;
13.1.2. in an unlawful manner, in contravention of any applicable legislation or license;
13.1.3. via computers or networks or other systems or devices which are infected with viruses, Trojans or other malware whether or not Cambrian Connect has notified Subscriber of such malware;
13.1.4. via computers or networks or other systems or devices in an infected state once this has been advised to Subscriber by Cambrian Connect or other people whether or not on behalf of Cambrian Connect;
13.1.5. to download an unreasonably large amount of data when compared to the published Service Package Description Limits
13.1.6. in a way that does not comply fully with any instructions that Cambrian Connect has given Subscriber;

13.1.8. in such a way that is uneconomic for Cambrian Connect;
13.1.9. in such a way to cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety;
13.1.10. for transmission of any data which is prohibited, illegal or contrary to international public order, such as, but not limited to, pornography, paedophilia, fascist and/or terrorist related information;
13.1.11. for hacking or any attempt to illegally use, manipulate, or appropriate data or information via the Internet, including, but not limited to, breaking security of any online systems, such as, without limitation, e-commerce Internet sites, financial institutions, and any other activity prohibited by law.
13.1.12. to send, knowingly receive, upload, download, distribute, share, use or re-use any material which is abusive, indecent, defamatory, obscene or menacing (specifically including via P2P file sharing protocols, such as BitTorrent for example);

13.1.17. or if Cambrian Connect considers, in its sole discretion, that the Subscriber's use of the Service is in any other way unacceptable as determined by Cambrian Connect.
13.2. Cambrian Connect shall be entitled to monitor the Subscriber's use of the Service and to modify, edit or remove any material the Subscriber is sending or receiving using the Service entirely in Cambrian Connect's sole discretion.
13.3. If the Service is used as described in this section, Cambrian Connect will regard Subscriber as in breach of contract and will enforce the terms of section 15 Breach of Contract.
13.4. Subscriber will indemnify Cambrian Connect against any claims or legal proceedings that are brought or threatened against Cambrian Connect because the Service is used in breach of this section.

14.5. Each term and condition of this Contract operates separately in itself and survives independently of the others.
14.6. If Cambrian Connect or Subscriber is unable to perform any obligation under this Contract because of a matter beyond their reasonable control such as lightning, flood, exceptionally severe weather, fire, explosion, war, civil disorder, industrial disputes, or acts of local or central Government or other competent authorities or events beyond the reasonable control of Cambrian Connect, Cambrian Connect's suppliers, or Subscriber, Cambrian Connect or Subscriber will have no liability to the other for that failure to perform.
14.7. If any events described in paragraph 14.6 continue for more than 14 days, Cambrian Connect can terminate this Contract by giving Subscriber notice.
14.8. This Contract is personal to Subscriber and Subscriber may not transfer his/her Account or any of his/her rights and obligations under this Contract without Cambrian Connect's written agreement. Cambrian Connect may transfer any of its rights and obligations under this Contract (including Subscriber's Account and any details that Subscriber has provided to Cambrian Connect to enable the ongoing provision of Services to Subscriber) to (i) any person or entity which acquires all or substantially all of the business providing the Services (in which case any reference to Cambrian Connect shall be construed as a reference to its successor in respect of such business); or (ii) any subsidiary or parent of Cambrian Connect, or any subsidiary of any such parent, without the Subscriber's permission. In the event that Cambrian Connect transfers any of its rights or obligations under this Contract to a third party, pursuant to this clause
14.8, Cambrian Connect will also transfer certain of Subscriber's personal data which it holds to such third party, again in order to enable Subscriber to have continuing access to the Service.

16.1. For UK purchases from the website or by phone, the Consumer Contracts Regulations give you the right to cancel within the cooling-off period of fourteen working days of receipt of the goods as long as the Service has not been activated or used. If you wish to cancel, you must inform us in writing within that period and return any supplied and/or installed equipment to us in new condition in their original packaging at your cost.
16.2. You will be given details of your order, all costs, our details and your rights to cancel before we process your order. If this prior information is given verbally at time of order and you choose to proceed, you will receive confirmation by email.
16.3. In the event that we cannot achieve and demonstrate a minimum broadband performance immediately following installation as defined in our Performance Promise or to the stated minimum criteria in the case of a Government subsidised installation, we will remove all equipment at our cost and walk away. We will further refund any monies that you have paid over to us at Cambrian Connect with respect to equipment or installation costs.
16.4. In the event of your choosing to cancel within the fourteen day statutory cooling-off period for any reason other than our failure to achieve and demonstrate a minimum broadband performance immediately following installation as defined in our Performance Promise or to the stated minimum criteria in the case of a Government subsidised installation, the following conditions shall apply:-
16.4.1. You WILL NOT be liable for any equipment costs, PROVIDED THAT you return all equipment to us in new condition in the original packaging at your cost. Once we have received these, any relevant payments made by yourself for the equipment will be refunded to you, or if that equipment has not yet been paid for (as in the case of installations intended to be carried out under Government subsidy), a relevant credit will be raised to offset any invoiced amount. Should you not effect such return, you will be liable for all equipment costs, chargeable at our normal retail pricing in place at the time.
16.4.2. It can take UP TO SEVEN DAYS for your account to be closed off from the point of your giving us notice of your wish to terminate within the fourteen day statutory cooling-off period. Your 4G broadband service will continue until your account is closed off, at which point your ongoing financial liability will end.
16.4.3. You WILL STILL be liable for the full costs of installation work carried out at your property in order to activate the Service. This is because you will have chosen to exercise your statutory rights to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations for reasons other than the failure of the Service to perform to stated minimum specifications. In such an event, if the costs for initial set-up of the Service have already been paid, the installation element of those costs will not be refunded in any event. If the costs for initial set-up of the Service have not yet been paid (as in the case of installations intended to be carried out under Government subsidy), you will in all cases be liable and will need to pay for the installation element of those costs.
16.5. Your statutory rights are not affected in any way by any of the above.

17.4. Special promotions, offers and promotional contracts of other duration may be offered from time to time and additional Ts & Cs will apply to these.
17.5. During the Minimum Contract Period, Subscribers may upgrade their account to one with a higher monthly data allowance if possible. Some charges may occur in such events due to account crossover, as a result of ensuring that Subscribers retain broadband connectivity at all times.
17.5.1. For customers with Vodafone-based accounts, upgrades to accounts can only be applied from the start of the next new billing month and not before.
17.5.2. For customers with Three-based accounts, upgrades to accounts will be applied upon our despatch of the new Full SIM card associated with the Subscriber's newly selected upgraded account. Payments on the Subscriber's old account will cease to be applied upon our receipt of the Full SIM card associated with the Subscriber's original account - as strictly specified in point 16.4.2 above.
17.6. Subscribers may not downgrade during the Minimum Contract Period.
17.7. If the Subscriber has taken up a new Contract within the original MCP, then a new MCP based on the Start Date of the new Contract applies.

18.2. If notice is given during the Minimum Contract Period, the Early Termination Charge will apply.
18.3. The Minimum Notice Period is 30 days. Any payments due within the 30 day period remain due. Where applicable, a discount will be applied to the final payment to reflect any remaining unused days beyond the MCP after the MiNP has expired.
19.1. The Early Termination Charge is calculated as follows:
19.1.1. If you wish to terminate within the MCP, the Early Termination Charge is the balance of all payments due until the end of the MCP.
20.1. This contract may be ended;
20.2. by either Subscriber or Cambrian Connect after the Minimum Contract Period, by giving 30 days' notice (the Minimum Notice Period)
20.3. by Subscriber giving Cambrian Connect 7 days' notice if Cambrian Connect gives Subscriber notice to increase the charges (other than the automatic annual RPI increase detailed in point 5.10 above) or changes the conditions of this Contract to Subscriber's detriment and provided Subscriber gives the notice before the increase or changes take effect.
20.4. at any time by Cambrian Connect giving Subscriber 14 days' notice if Cambrian Connect at its sole discretion decides that Subscriber is either knowingly using the Service for illegal purposes (including but not limited to the improper down- or uploading of copyright protected material) or that Subscriber is abusing the Service in other unreasonable fashion or that Subscriber is acting in a persistently vexatious manner in Subscriber's dealings with Cambrian Connect.
21.1. Subscriber must indemnify Cambrian Connect against any claims or legal proceedings in respect of illegal or unacceptable use, defamation, breach of copyright or other intellectual property right infringement which are brought or threatened against Cambrian Connect by another person and which are attributable wholly or in part to Subscriber's use of the Service and, if Subscriber uses the Service for business purposes, Subscriber must indemnify Cambrian Connect against any claims that anyone (other than Subscriber) threatens or makes against Cambrian Connect because the Service is faulty or cannot be used by them.

This Fair usage Policy (the ‘Policy’) covers all Wireless and Wired communication Services (the ‘Services’) provided by or managed by Cambrian Connect Ltd. These restrictions included in this Policy are in addition to the restrictions included in our various Terms & Conditions. Your use of our Services means that you accept and abide by this Fair Usage Policy and our various other Terms & Conditions.
We reserve the right to revise this Policy at any time by posting an updated version of the Policy to our website. You are expected to check this Policy from time to time to take notice of any changes we make. As they may be legally binding to you. Some of the provisions contained in this Policy may also be superseded by provisions or notices published elsewhere on our site, splash pages or in writing from time to time.
A very small number of customers transfer large amounts of data throughout the day. This type of activity uses a lot of bandwidth and can significantly reduce the speed at which another customer can access the internet, especially during peak hours. We don’t believe this is fair to other customers. This policy is designed to ensure that each customer experience is the best possible service. Services provided and managed by Cambrian Connect Ltd are designed to be suitable for customers with a typical internet usage pattern.
The policy will affect you if you are one of the very few customers who make inappropriate use of the Services. You must make sure that any use of our Services, by you or anyone else using your devices or connected to your service, complies with this policy. If your usage patterns are significantly higher from the standard then you could be in breach of the Policy. If you consume more than 20Gb (Gigabytes) any day or you breach our Policy, we reserve the right to issue a warning to you or to suspend or withdraw the Services immediately, temporarily or permanently or we may manage your bandwidth in such a way that may result in reduced service speeds. In addition, we may restrict the amount of bandwidth available to very heavy users during busy periods to ensure that the majority of our customers have a good experience. Some activities involve more usage than others. Watching a video, for example, typically involves downloading significantly more data than browsing a simple web page or sending a short email. The table below shows what kind of usage is involved in some common activities:
You should also ensure that your ant-virus software and programs on your devices are up to date to ensure that a virus or malware is not transferring data that you are unaware of.
