4.1 If required and at the discretion of Digital Island, Digital Island may sub-contract other carriers to provide part of any Service.

4.2 Digital Island will use all reasonable endeavours to make the Services available to the customer at all times. However, due to the nature of telecommunications and the reliance placed on networks and services owned by other people, Digital Island cannot guarantee that the Services will always be available or fully functioning.

If the customer needs assistance in using the Services they should call the support centre on 0800 999 010.

6. USING DIGITAL ISLAND’S SERVICES

6.1 The customer agrees that they will not use the Services or permit the Services to be used in any way which:

(a) breaks any laws or infringes anyone’s legal rights;

(b) could interfere with or damage Digital Island’s network, any other operator’s network, or another customer’s enjoyment of Digital Island’s services;

(d) could introduce anything (including any virus) that may harm Digital Island’s or any third party equipment or software.

6.2 The customer agrees that it will:

(a) comply with any reasonable restrictions imposed or instructions or directions given by Digital Island regarding the use of the Services;

(b) ensure that all information the customer gives Digital Island is correct. Where any information the customer has previously supplied to Digital Island changes (such as contact details) the customer must provide Digital Island with updated information as soon as possible;

(d) indemnify Digital Island against any legal action taken against it in connection with the customer’s use of the Services;

(e) not use the Services to spam, mail bomb, upload or publish any offensive or unlawful material, harvest information about others, create a false identity, transmit or upload material which breaches any third party right (including any intellectual property right), discriminates against any person or group, is false, inaccurate, misleading or deceptive or similar activity;

(f) keep confidential any password or PIN number which is used by the customer to access the Services. Digital Island recommends that the customer change these on a regular basis for security reasons. The customer must change their password or PIN number if asked to do so;

(g) authorise Digital Island to act on any verbal instructions the customer gives it in relation to the Services. The customer should notify Digital Island which of their staff are authorised to make changes to their account;

(h) allow Digital Island employees and contractors access as and when they reasonably require (and the customer must obtain any necessary consents to provide such access) if Digital Island needs to install equipment and carry out work at the customers premises. If the customer does not allow Digital Island employees and contractors to access their premises, the customer’s ability to use the Services may be adversely affected; and

(i) make sure nothing is connected to Digital Island’s network unless it has a Telepermit or is otherwise approved by Digital Island. This helps to ensure that the customer’s Mobile Device does not damage the network, although this does not mean that the network will always remain compatible with the customer’s Mobile Device.

7. MOBILE SERVICES

7.1 This clause applies if Digital Island provides mobile services to the customer.

7.2 Technology and Equipment:

(a) Digital Island Mobile & Wireless services are provided using the Spark network. Wireless services are only available in certain mobile coverage areas. Speeds and coverage will vary and can be affected by traffic congestion, outages and where we work on our networks as well as interference from external factors such as the weather and radio. Your coverage and speed can also be affected by how you, and your intended recipient, have set up your mobile devices.

(b) If your mobile phone, wireless modem or SIM is lost, stolen or damaged, please contact us immediately so we can block it from our network. This will stop you being charged for any further activity on your SIM or device. Remember, it’s your responsibility to keep your SIM, mobile device or wireless modem secure.

(c) The customer acknowledges that access to the mobile Services is dependent upon their equipment and hardware. If the products used by the customer do not support all of the mobile Services, Digital Island are under no obligation to ensure the customer’s access to those Mobile Services.

7.3 Mobile Plan Voice and Data Inclusions:

(a) For plans that include unlimited calling and text messages, this means calls to New Zealand and Australian standard mobiles and landline numbers. It does not include mobile roaming usage, calls or texts to other international numbers, 0900 calls, operator assisted and directory related services and calls to special numbers.

(b) All mobile to land (national and international) and mobile to mobile calls made within New Zealand are calculated to the nearest second at 1/60th the appropriate per minute rate, then rounded up to the nearest cent. There is a one minute minimum charge for all calls.

(c) Some of our plans have Endless Data. This means that you’ll have a certain amount of max speed data (for example, 40GB). This is your max speed data allowance. Once you’ve used all your max speed data allowance, you will have endless data for the rest of your pack or plan or extra duration, but your speeds will be reduced, which may impact your experience. You may experience some degradation (such as lower video resolution) when watching video, streaming or loading images.

(d) Data used will be charged against the customer’s data plan allowance in whole 10KB packets, with part packets rounded up. Megabyte usage is based on the amount of data transferred (both uploading and downloading).

(e) Shared data plans include bundled megabytes of data. Any unused megabytes at the end of the month cannot be carried forward or redeemed.

7.4 All mobile Services are subject to the fair use policy set out in this clause:

(a) The customer agrees that their use of the mobile Services must be fair, reasonable, and not excessive, as reasonably determined by Digital Island from time to time by reference to the average customer profiles and estimated customer usage of the Digital Island mobile Services.

(b) If the customer’s usage of the mobile Services materially exceeds estimated use patterns over any day, week or month (or other period of time as determined by Digital Island) or is inconsistent with normal usage patterns, then, in addition to potentially being liable for excess usage charges, the customer’s usage may be excessive or unreasonable.

(c) No mobile Service allows for activities aimed at making profit or reselling the mobile Service or using the mobile Services in an unfair or excessive way and any such use of the mobile Services is a breach of this agreement.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, fair use of the Digital Island mobile Services excludes activities such as auto-dialling, continuously call forwarding, tele-marketing, call centres and use of Cellular Trunking Units (including SIM boxes and GSM gateways).

(e) If Digital island is of the view that the customer’s use of the mobile Services is excessive or unreasonable, it may contact the customer to advise them. If the customer does not alter their usage of the mobile Services after a request to stop, Digital Island may, without further notice, charge the customer for the excessive and/or unreasonable element of the customer’s usage or suspend, modify or restrict use of the customer’s mobile Services or withdraw access to the mobile Services.

7.5 If the customer downgrades or cancels the mobile pricing plan on any of their mobile Services, then the customer may be liable to pay administration and/or early termination charges as described in clause 15.2 below in respect of those mobile Services. If the customer upgrades their plan there will be no administration charge and the new plan will take effect from the 1st of the following month.

7.6 Mobile connections on a term commitment will automatically revert to the advertised open term pricing after the initial term has expired. At this time there will be the opportunity to revisit the pricing and term.

7.7 DigiShare data bucket plans include a set allocation of data each month, if the customer uses more than the included data allowance the customer will be charged and must pay for any usage over the included allowance. The DigiShare data bucket overage data rate is $200 per 10GB

8. PROVISION OF MOBILE DEVICE

8.1 This clause applies if Digital Island provides the customer with a Mobile Device.

8.2 Upon delivery of the Mobile Device, risk in the Mobile Device will pass to the customer.

8.3 Upon payment of the charges for that Mobile Device or, in the case of a Mobile Device that Digital Island has agreed to provide the customer free of charge, upon delivery of the Mobile Device to the customer, title in the Mobile Device will pass to the customer.

8.4 If all or any part of the Mobile Device is under a manufacturers’ warranty, Digital Island will endeavour to give the customer the benefit of the warranty. Where this is not possible, Digital Island will hold the warranty on behalf of the customer. Digital Island will have no obligation to negotiate any warranty or indemnity on behalf of the customer with respect to any Mobile Device (or any associated software).

8.5 If the customer makes a claim on any warranty that is held by Digital Island on behalf of the customer, the customer must promptly return the defective Mobile Device to Digital Island with any accessories and all original packaging, together with a copy of the invoice and a written claim specifically identifying the defect(s) to the Digital Island offices at Level 3, 8 Nugent Street, Grafton, Auckland.

8.6 If any part of the Mobile Device requires repair or replacement because it is lost or damaged and that repair or replacement is not covered by any warranty referred to in clause 8.4 above, or the customer places an order for an additional Mobile Device, then the charges for the repair or replacement and/or additional Mobile Device will be in accordance with Digital Island’s then current standard charges and the customer agrees to pay all such applicable charges.

8.7 The customer acknowledges that Digital Island is not responsible for any loss of data or other information that may occur in the course of or in connection with the repair of any Mobile Device. Digital Island recommends that the customer backs up all data on all item(s) of Mobile Device before those items are sent to Digital Island for repair or replacement.

(a) Where the customer elects to purchase a Mobile Device using Digital Island’s MobiPay scheme, the following provisions will apply:

(b) The purchase price for the Mobile Device will be payable in equal consecutive monthly instalments over 24 months.

(c) An administration fee equal to 10% of the purchase price will be payable where the purchase price is paid early provided that this administration fee will not be payable where the customer wishes to update its Mobile Device as contemplated in paragraph (g) below.

9. INTERNET SERVICES

9.1 This clause applies if Digital Island provides internet services to the customer.

9.2 If the customer downgrades or cancels the plan on any of their internet Services, then the customer may be liable to pay administration and/or early termination charges as described in clause 15.2 below in respect of those internet Services.

9.6 The customer must not have more than one connection to the Service using the customer’s user ID at any time. If for any reason the customer does have simultaneous connections Digital Island reserves the right to charge the customer $5.00 per hour (or part hour) for each additional connection.

9.7 If at any time, or in respect of any period, the customer uses more than the allocated internet services that they have contracted to purchase/use for that time or period, the customer will be charged and must pay for any excess internet services used.

9.8 Digital Island is not liable for any inaccurate, illegal or offensive information which may be obtained from the internet from the customer’s use of the Services.

9.9 Digital Island is not liable for any viruses or other harmful code that the customer may download via the internet using the Services.

9.10 The customer will be responsible for protecting the customer’s computer against any virus, unauthorised access or spam and to the extent permitted by law, Digital Island accepts no liability in relation to any virus, unauthorised access or spam experienced by the customer.

9.11 The customer will indemnify Digital Island against all liability, losses and costs that Digital Island incurs:

(a) through the customer’s failure to do any of the above;

(b) through the customer’s failure to perform any other obligation that it may have under this agreement; or

(c) as a result of any claim made against Digital Island by a third party as a result of the customer’s use of the internet services, including as a result of material that the customer generates or disseminates by using the internet services.

9.12 All internet services are subject to the fair use policy set out in this clause:

(a) The customer agrees that their use of their internet service must be fair, reasonable, and not excessive, as reasonably determined by Digital Island from time to time by reference to the average customer profiles and estimated customer usage of the Digital Island data Services.

(b) If the customer’s usage of the internet services materially exceeds estimated use patterns over any day, week or month (or other period of time as determined by Digital Island) or is inconsistent with normal usage patterns, then, in addition to potentially being liable for excess usage charges, the customer’s usage may be excessive or unreasonable.

(d) No internet service allows for activities aimed at making profit or reselling the internet service or using the internet service in an unfair or excessive way and any such use of the internet service is a breach of this agreement.

(e) If Digital Island is of the view that the customer’s use of the internet services is excessive or unreasonable, it may contact the customer to advise them. If the customer does not alter their usage of the internet services after a request to stop, Digital Island may, without further notice, charge the customer for the excessive and/or unreasonable element of the customer’s usage or suspend, modify or restrict use of the customer’s internet services or withdraw access to the internet services.

9.13 Internet speed:

(a) Downstream and upstream speeds are based on a theoretical maximum, and actual speeds will be affected by various factors including NZ and overseas networks, the particular modem and computer technology, internal wiring and other environmental factors. Speeds will vary depending on how many people are on the network at the same time both in the customers premises and in general on the Internet. This is also true for overseas networks when accessing content, such as websites or streaming video.

(b) Content such as web pages and videos are stored on ‘content servers’ so the customer can access them via their internet connection. Content servers within New Zealand and overseas can reduce the rate (bandwidth) at which access to their content available (for instance, when they are very busy), this affects the time it takes to download content and thus the users internet speed.

(c) If connecting via Wi-Fi, the connection can be impacted by environmental factors like other wireless devices in the premises (such as mobile or digital phones) and even a neighbours’ Wi-Fi connection.

(d) The speed capacity of the devices the customer is connecting with may be a limitation, for instance the age of the WiFi adapter. Other hardware and software components can also limit the processing of bandwidth and thus the speed.

(e) The most reliable connection and faster speeds will be achieved by connecting devices directly to the modem via high-speed Ethernet wiring instead of using Wi-Fi. For example, a Cat5e is a high-quality copper cable, designed to deliver Ethernet standard services over short distances at speeds of up to 1Gbps.

9.14 Digital Island may intercept any communications of the customer for the purposes of complying with the Department of Internal Affairs’ Digital Child Exploitation Filtering System, or for the purposes of complying with lawful authority and in continuing to use the Digital Island internet services, the customer consents to this.

10. DATA SERVICES

10.1 This clause applies if Digital Island provides data services to the customer.

10.2 Implementation of a data solution will be project managed through to completion. It is expected the customer’s IT department or IT contractor will provide the necessary resources to work with Digital Island during the project in order to ensure a timely and seamless implementation.

10.3 Although initial feasibility results may indicate the data service is available at a particular speed, it is possible that upon physical installation the speed anticipated or quoted may not be available. If this is the case then Digital Island may need to revisit the product and pricing and renegotiate the proposed solution.

10.4 Some data services installations are reliant on existing cabling from a third party telecommunications company’s demarcation point (often in basement or cabling room of building) through to the desired termination/delivery point. If this building cabling does not exist or is not of sufficient quality, the customer may be required to cover the cost of new building cabling to the desired termination/delivery point.

10.5 Data solutions with routers will include a managed router at each site and initial configuration of each router. Additional router configuration required after initial installation will be charged at $150 + GST per hour.

10.6 All Local Area Network configuration and Internet security, including supply of a suitable firewall appliance, is expressly the customer’s responsibility.

10.7 Managed router(s) will be configured and then sent to the customer’s site. Either the customer or the customer’s nominated IT contractor shall plug the router in to the pre-installed, labelled jack point. If the customer does not wish to do this, an onsite installation can be arranged for an additional $150 + GST per site.

10.8 In the unlikely event of a faulty router, the customer shall inform Digital Island immediately and return the faulty router. Digital Island will arrange for a replacement router to be configured and sent out via courier as quickly as is commercially practicable.

10.9 The Digital Island SIP Trunk product has been tested with most leading PBX products. However Digital Island does not guarantee compatibility to any specific product or future software release. It is the responsibility of the PBX vendor to perform compatibility testing. Digital Island will assist where it considers it appropriate with this testing.

10.10 Digital Island takes all reasonable precautions to ensure that the SIP Trunk solution is secure, but as the security of the PBX is beyond their control, Digital Island takes no responsibility if the PBX is compromised and fraudulent calling is generated.

10.11 Digital Island SIP Trunks are not recommended for services such as Eftpos, faxing and alarm monitoring. Digital Island can arrange a separate analogue phone line for these services.

10A. ULTRA-FAST BROADBAND

10A.1 This clause applies if Digital Island provides ultra-fast broadband services to the customer.

10A.2 The customer agrees that in using the ultra-fast broadband service, they will be bound by these terms and the terms of their Local Fibre Company’s End User Terms (which can be found at https://www.crownfibre.govt.nz/crown-partners/). The Local Fibre Company End User Terms relate to, amongst other things, the provision (including installation) and use of that part of the Local Fibre Company’s network which is located on the customer’s premises.

10A.3 The customer must pay for the costs of installation of ultra-fast broadband. On the day that ultra-fast broadband is to be installed, the customer will need to be present to meet with the Local Fibre Company’s technicians who will advise what is required for installation and the costs involved.

10A.4 In order to install the ultra-fast broadband at the customer’s property, land excavation may be required. The extent of restoration will depend on the policy of the Local Fibre Company. Generally, the Local Fibre Company will reinstate like for like, e.g. concrete where concrete has been used, but the Local Fibre Company do not guarantee to match surface finish and reinstatement will be limited to the area where the trench has been dug. The customer will be responsible for any further costs associated with the additional restoration.

10A.5 The following equipment will be installed at the property to allow ultra-fast broadband services to be used:

(a) The External Termination Point, which will remain the property of the Local Fibre Company;

(b) The Optical Network Terminal, which will remain the property of the Local Fibre Company; and

10A.6 If the customer changes to ultra-fast broadband, Digital Island cannot guarantee that the customer will be able to move back to ADSL Broadband. Any change in service may be subject to installation charges and an early termination fee will apply if the customer terminates before completion of the minimum contract period.

10A.7 Initially, the existing copper connection will remain in place for the provision of voice services. The customer agrees that they will migrate to a fibre based service as soon as it is available. At the time it is available, Digital Island will provide the customer with a minimum of 30days’ notice to the commencement of the migration process. A technician will need to visit the customer’s premises to carry out the work, which may require internal access to the customer’s premises. A suitable time will need to be scheduled for the technician to visit the premises. The fibre voice service is reliant on the ONT having power to it and in the event of a power cut, the fibre voice service (and broadband) will no longer work. If the customer is reliant on their phone services for medical or important applications (e.g. emergency services) they should consider whether a fibre based service is appropriate to their needs. Digital Island does not guarantee that the fibre voice service will support all models of low speed analogue device (for example: home alarms, personal medical alarms, low speed modems, sky set top boxes, faxes, low speed modems, eft-pos). It is the customer’s responsibility to contact their relevant service provider to find out whether such services are compatible with fibre. The customer should not sign up for ultra-fast broadband if their provider cannot guarantee compatibility. Digital Island is not liable to the customer in relation to the foregoing.

10A.8 DigiMax UFB Plans are subject to the following;

(a) DigiMax enhanced Restore SLA is based on following: If fault is reported to Digital Island, troubleshooting completed, and fault lodged with fibre supplier by Midday – service restored by 7pm same day, If fault is reported to Digital Island after midday – fault restored by midday the following day.

(b) DigiMax enhanced restore SLA is currently only applicable in Chorus UFB areas: Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Gisborne, Hastings, Palmerston North, Masterton, Blenheim, Timaru, Dunedin, Invercargill.

10B. MOVING ADDRESS

10B.1 This clause applies if the customer is moves address and Digital Island provides data services and/or ultra-fast broadband services to the customer.

10B.2 The customer shall give Digital Island notice in writing at least 3 months prior to the moving date, advising the new address and the moving date. If Digital Island is able to continue providing the data services and/or ultra-fast broadband services, it will endeavour to ensure that the data services and/or ultra-fast broadband services will be available at the new address on the moving date.

10B.3 If the customer fails to provide Digital Island with sufficient notice of the moving date, Digital Island may be required to implement interim services to ensure the customer can access data services and/or ultra-fast broadband services at the new address on the moving date. The customer shall pay any additional costs incurred by Digital Island for providing the interim services.

10B.4 If a customer moves address within 12 months of installation of the data services and/or ultra-fast broadband services, the customer shall pay an additional ‘early move fee’, being 75% of the remaining charges of the first 12 months of the fixed term contract.

10B.5 If a customer moves address and the data services and/or ultra-fast broadband services during the initial fixed term contract the customer shall be required to pay for any additional costs Digital Island may incur from network operators.

10B.6 If the data services and/or ultra-fast broadband services that the customer is currently receiving are not available at the new address, Digital Island will provide an alternative solution for the customer, which may require that the customer enter into a new contract and minimum term.

10B.7 The customer must pay for any installation costs of data services and/or ultra-fast broadband services at the new address.

10C. WIRELESS BROADBAND

10C.1 This clause applies if Digital Island provides wireless broadband services to the customer

10C.2 Digital Island Wireless Broadband requires a specific Digital Island Wireless Broadband Modem. This will be supplied with the service.

10C.3 Digital Island does not guarantee that the service can be supplied at a particular location.

10C.4 If you use all your plan data, you will be charged $20 per additional 10GB block or part thereof, up to a maximum of 50GB. At this point the connection will be disabled until the end of the month, with no option to purchase more data.

10C.5 If your Digital Island Wireless Broadband service is disconnected for any reason, we cannot guarantee you will be able to connect back to a fixed line broadband service, particularly if there are capacity issues in your area. If you have an existing broadband connection with another provider, you are responsible for arranging for disconnection of this service.

10C.6 Digital Island Wireless Broadband is only available in certain 4G coverage areas. 4G coverage is not available everywhere.

10C.7 The Digital Island Wireless Broadband Modem contains a SIM card. You may not use this SIM card in any other device. It remains our property and you must return it to Digital Island on reasonable request.

10C.8 You may not use your Digital Island Wireless Broadband Modem to receive the Digital Island Wireless Broadband service at any other location other than the installed location. If you are moving, please contact us. If you are moving to a location within our Digital Island Wireless Broadband coverage area, you may be able to continue to use the service. If you are moving to a location outside our current Digital Island Wireless Broadband coverage area, you will need to end your contract with us. Early termination charges may apply.

10C.9 If we become aware that you are using your Digital Island Wireless Broadband Modem at a location other than the installed location we reserve the right to withhold, suspend, disconnect, or restrict your Digital Island Wireless Broadband service without notice. The reason we retain this right is that we need to be able to manage the network to ensure that all customers using the network receive a reliable and consistent service.

10C.10 If you choose to sign up with Digital Island Wireless Broadband on a term contract, and your service is disconnected before the completion of that minimum contract period, you will be charged an early exit fee of $199.

10C.11 The Digital Island Wireless Broadband Modem requires mains power. In the event of a power failure, service will not be available, including access to emergency services.
10C.12 If you choose to change to another broadband technology (e.g. ADSL), an availability check will need to be done for your address. Digital Island does not guarantee availability of an alternative broadband technology at your address.

10C.13 Any unused data within a monthly data allocation will not be carried forward to the following month.

10C.14 Upstream and downstream speeds are variable, and actual speeds will be affected by various factors including NZ and overseas networks, your modem and computer technology, internal home wiring and other environmental factors.

11. CLOUD SERVICES

11.1 This clause applies if Digital Island provides cloud services to the customer.

11.2 In this clause:
