  7. INTERNET SERVICES

    7.1 Internet Services: If you are using Internet Services, this clause 7 applies to you.
    7.2 Availability: Internet Services are not available everywhere. We will confirm availability before we commence provisioning of Internet Services.
    7.3 Connection and installation Fees: You will be required to pay the applicable connection and/or installation Fees (if any) for the Internet Services as set out in the Quote or Proposal.
    7.4 Routers: a We will initially set up and configure your router for you. If you make unauthorised changes to the configuration of your router which affects the Internet Services, any reset performed by us will be at an additional cost. b If you want the Internet Services transferred to a new copper or fibre line, you may have to pay for the new connection and installation. If you are using fibre services, you may not be able to change back to copper.
    7.5 Fibre installation: If we are providing you with standard fibre services, a standard fibre installation includes the following: a the fibre cable from the street (up to 200m) to your business; b the external termination point; c the optical network terminal (ONT); and d installation of a fibre enabled router.
    7.6 Non-standard installation: If we are providing you with fibre, a non-standard installation includes the following: a where your business is more than 200m from the fibre access point on the street; or b where your router is installed at a separate location to the ONT and additional wiring is required.
    7.7 Speeds: Connection speeds for the Internet Services vary due to various factors. The day-today performance will also be affected by the number of users of the Internet Services, our Underlying Systems or the network of third party providers that we use to provide the Internet Services to you.
    7.8 Limitations: a The configuration of the systems you use to receive the Internet Services may affect, not only your use of the Internet Services, but our provision of it. For example, certain simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) service configurations leave you vulnerable to relaying spam; spam may overload our systems. b The Internet Services will only be delivered to your relevant systems when you have the required connection to receive the Internet Services and will be subject to any service availability limitations and any functionality limitations of your systems. c Subject to clauses 10 and 16.7, we do not and cannot in any way supervise, edit or control the way in which you or other end users use the content, information or other material accessed through the Internet Services we provide to you. d We will not be responsible or liable in any way for the content, information or other material accessed or provided by means of the Internet Services. You are responsible for all content, information or other material that you upload, download, post, email, or otherwise transmit, access or make available through the use of the Internet Services. e We have not reviewed any or all of the sites accessible using the Internet Services and are not responsible for the content of any of those sites.
    7.9 Usage:
    a Data usage is based on the amount of data transferred through the Internet Services (both uploading and downloading) and can be expressed as megabytes or gigabyte (1,000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte). This can include overhead data usage which is required for establishing and maintaining the connection.
    b It is your responsibility to monitor how many megabytes or gigabytes of data you have used. Some viruses can lead to unexpected use of data and this in turn can use up your monthly data allowance. This unwanted usage could lead to you reaching your monthly data allowance faster than you thought.
    c You are entirely responsible for all data usage that occurs under your account, whether or not the usage is caused by a virus, including denial-of-service attacks and any unauthorised usage and/or unrequested traffic. It is your responsibility to make sure you have sufficient security to meet your needs. We encourage you to contact us to find out what security options are available.
    7.10 Service reliability:
    a We are unable to provide specific performance guarantees, however we are committed to providing consistent and reliable Internet Services.
    b While we always strive to provide a consistent service, there are a number of factors that influence reliability of our Internet Services. For this reason, we do not guarantee connection speed bandwidth, latency (delay) or bit rate through the network that we use to provide the Internet Services at any one point in time.
    c As the Internet Services can occasionally go down, you should take this into account when choosing this product and what you will want to use it for. We cannot guarantee how quickly we can arrange for resolution of any problems with the provision of the Internet Services.
    7.11 Termination: There are certain things, that despite our best efforts, we cannot guarantee or provide in relation to the Internet Services. In some cases it may be unavoidable for us to change, withhold, suspend, restrict, replace or terminate any of the Internet Services where, for example, systems or the network are being maintained or otherwise worked on, unavailable or must be protected, to manage network traffic or access to network services (for example, to manage peer to peer traffic types), to improve functionality and attributes of the Internet Services, or for any other reason we think is reasonably necessary or desirable to do so.
    7.12 Changing or replacing Internet Services: Where we change or replace an existing Internet Service we will give you as much warning as we reasonably can. Where we have changed or replaced an existing Internet Service, and we have to do this without providing you with prior notice of the change in order to protect our network, we will advise you of the changes and the impact on you as soon as practicable following the change.
    7.13 Inactivity: You acknowledge that we may suspend, sign out, disconnect, terminate, or delete your Internet Service account (including sub accounts) or any communication session for any particular Internet Service that is “inactive” for a period of time. “Inactive” means that you have not used a particular Internet Service or your account for a period of time, as determined by us, acting reasonably.
    7.14 Interception: We may intercept communications for the purposes of the Department of Internal Affairs’ Digital Child Exploitation Filtering System or otherwise required by law and by using the Internet Services, you acknowledge and consent to this.
    7.15 Support: a The stability and performance of the Internet Services can be affected by a number of potential faults. A fault can originate from our network, a Network Operators’ network, your router, or your computer. If the Internet Services are not meeting your expectations, our Customer Support team are trained to help you identify where the potential fault lies. b Occasionally network outages do occur. There is no charge for fixing such faults during our normal business hours except where you, or anyone you are responsible for, cause the fault or if the fault lies with your own equipment c If we arrange for a service technician to visit your premises and the technician finds that there are no problems with the network, you will be required to pay the cost of the service technician being sent out. We will let you know in advance what the potential charges to you could be.
    7.16 End User Terms: If you are receiving the Internet Services over fibre, you agree that you will be bound by these Terms and the terms of your 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 your premises.

    9.4 Alternative solution: If the Services you are currently receiving are not available at the new address, we may provide you with an alternative solution, which may require that you enter into a new contract and minimum term.

If your use of the Services materially exceeds estimated customer usage patterns over any month, or is inconsistent with normal usage patterns, then your usage is deemed to be excessive or unreasonable.
    10.3 Breach: If your use is deemed to be excessive or unreasonable, we may contact you to tell you that your usage is in breach of our fair use policy. We may then request that you stop or alter your usage of the Services to come within our fair use policy.
