2.1 Be nice!

2.2 Pay your monthly in advance invoice on time. That’s helpful and pertains to clause 2.1. If you don’t a late fee will be charged on overdue accounts. You also agree to pay any additional costs in recovering the debt if you don’t pay us. This includes all costs incurred by debt collectors. We reserve the right to suspend services on overdue accounts see clause 5.1.

2.3 Be aware that you’re responsible at all times for any use of the services you’ve subscribed to, keep it lawful and don’t be a nuisance to anyone!

2.4 That you keep confidential the secret stuff about your Primo account. If someone piggy backs onto your account after they find out your password etc, then you’re responsible for paying the bill. Ouch!

2.5 You’ll also agree to change your password if we ask you to.

2.6 You need to take your e-mails off the mail server, that means download them on a regular basis to keep your files on the server to less than 10MB. We can charge you for more space if you want but may remove the data if it is in excess of 20MB if you haven’t organised this prior.

2.7 You’ll respect the privacy of other users like you would want other users to respect yours.

2.8 Keep your virus protection up to date.

2.9 Give us 30 days notice of termination if you decide to leave, subject of course to clause 2.11 if applicable.

2.10 You agree to allow us access onto your property at a reasonable time to repossess our equipment if you don’t want it anymore or if you haven’t paid the bill; refer clause 2.2 (and 2.1!).

2.11 If you have signed up on a minimum time contract, you’re getting a good deal. So, if you decide to change mid way through the contract term, you need to pay us the disconnection fee or the remainder of the term as agreed – it’s only fair. If you don’t pay us, then you also agree to pay any additional costs in recovering the debt. This includes all costs incurred by debt collectors in getting the overdue invoice paid.

2.12 If you move house and Primo is unable to provide a connection at the new property, you will need to
request a termination. Any applicable notice periods and disconnection fees shall apply.

3.1 You won’t do illegal stuff like copyright violation such as pictures and software unless you get the permission of the dudes who own it. Just don’t break any laws!

3.2 You won’t assign your rights over to anyone else under these terms without our written consent. You’ve signed up with us so we’ll deal with you. We can assign our rights though but we’ll let you know if we’re doing that.

3.3 You won’t send multiple unsolicited e-mails to large numbers of people which includes advertising etc. That’s not being nice…you know clause 2.1.

3.4 You won’t on-sell our services to anyone else unless we agree in writing.

3.5 Cause the introduction of harmful stuff like viruses to anyone else. Yuk and also nooooot very popular!

4.1 Be really nice! We are anyway.. If you think we aren’t playing fair refer to clause 20.

4.2 Utilise our best endeavours to make all services for you available 24 hours where reasonable. An unreasonable situation would be if hot molten lava was pouring through our front door, but by then we figure you wouldn’t be at your desk either!

4.3 However if the system goes down and it is your fault then we may charge you for it. You shouldn’t be touching our stuff.

4.4 If lava does pour through the front door or in another situation where our services go down, Force Majeure (clause 17) would operate in this case we’ll take all reasonable measures to get it back up again as soon as reasonably possible, though we won’t take any liability for any consequential loss, our liability being limited to the value of your service provided.

4.5 We’ll keep an eye on your usage of the system for the purpose of ensuring that you’re using the system in accordance with our STC’s.

4.6 We’ll invoice you monthly and send those invoices by e-mail. If there’s a problem with the invoice, you need to let us know before due date.

4.7 Sorry, but if you’re on a full speed plan we’ll also invoice you for additional broadband usage over and above your broadband plan. If you are on a capped plan, you won’t be charged extra but we will slow you down. Any unused broadband usage also won’t be carried through to the next billable month.

4.8 We’ll work to give you the fastest speeds available. Our advertised speeds are based on a theoretical maximum, and actual speeds can be affected by many things including NZ and overseas networks, your router and computer technology, internal wiring and other environmental factors.

4.9 We’ll deliver those e-mails of yours where this is reasonably possible, as opposed to unreasonably possible like that lava event, Tsunami’s, a lack of electricity; you know, that kind of thing.

4.10 Let you know on our website and by email if there are any changes to pricing and stuff. We will give you at least 10 days notice and wherever possible at least one months notice of these changes. Because we’re good guys our pricing is fixed for the duration of your contract except where there is a price decrease – in that case you’ll pay less! Pricing or plan changes will apply from the calendar month following the change.

4.11 We’ll keep all your details confidential with us.

5.1 We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any, or all services that you’ve subscribed to if you are a bad boy/girl and violate any of our STC’s (which you’ve agreed to by taking on our services). Primo will define the violation whether intentional or unintentional. This includes non-payment of charges, abusive, offensive or inappropriate behaviours directed towards us or anyone acting on our behalf. As well as, if you make multiple complaints without reasonable basis for doing so, and you continue to make complaints without any reasonable basis after we have requested you to stop. We’ll come and get our stuff too and depending on the severity might even charge you for the equipment recovery and any other charges incurred. Follow this link to review our non-payment process.

6.1 If you are applying for a Service where we will bill you after you have used that Service, you agree that as part of the application process we can check your credit status with any credit reference agency. We may also conduct further credit checks while you remain a customer with us. We may pass on credit information about you to any credit reference agency at any time.

6.2 If we are not satisfied with the information provided by the credit reference agency, we may: decline your application for the Service; provide a restricted Service; or ask for a non-interest bearing security deposit and/or impose other conditions on your Service (including a mandatory payment method or credit limit).

6.3 Subject to any legal requirement under the Privacy Act to disclose personal information to you, we do not have to disclose our credit criteria or the reasons for our decision to you.

6.4 If you are not satisfied with the information provided by the credit reference agency, you will need to contact them directly.

7.1 We refer to “Stuff” in these STC’s. “Stuff” means all Primo’s equipment whether installed on your house, outhouse or where ever and includes our Access Point sites.

7.2 We’ll need to fix some stuff onto your house (which you confirm you have the authority to allow us to do this) in order for you to get broadband which you fully agree to happen ‘cause you want really fast broadband. We aren’t obliged to run cabling within the wall cavities when we’re installing our “stuff”. This might well be extra and you’ll have to pay this to us or the contractor who’s installing the cabling.

7.3 That “stuff” remains the property of Primo and the rental of the property is covered in the installation fee or the monthly rental fee whichever option you’ve elected to use. Returnable stuff ie routers, modems, UPS etc will be charged on disconnection but credited back on its return.

7.4 You agree to leave the Primo stuff alone.

8.1 As an APSO, you confirm that you have the necessary authority to authorise Primo to install a Primo’s Access Point site on your property whether owned or leased.

8.2 You agree to unreservedly allow us 24/7 access to our equipment.

8.3 You acknowledge that Primo’s Access Point equipment remains the property of Primo.

8.4 As part of the beneficial deal struck between Primo and you, you agree to supply power and security to the site and won’t touch it as it could stuff up the network!

8.5 If you don’t want the AP site on your property (why wouldn’t you?), then unless agreed otherwise you need to give us a minimum of 90 days notice of termination. And we’ll do the same for you if we decide to shift the AP site.

9.1 Primo owns all the IP related to our equipment and/or service.

10.1 As well as agreeing to our Terms and Conditions you also agree that you will be bound by Tuatahi First Fibre Ltd (TFF) End User Terms. These relate to the provision, installation and use of the TFF network which is located on your property. You sign these at the time of connection, these terms can also be found here www.tuatahifibre.co.nz/end-user-terms

• Any modem, SIM card or other equipment of the customer is causing interference with the network.
• The network provider believes or suspects the customer is jeopardising the operation and quality of the network or services it supplies to its own users.
• The network provider is required or instructed to do so by a governmental agency or governmental authority.

12.6 Enhanced Plans

• Are limited to 15 end users per Transmission site.

• The network providers Fair Use Policy applies and if excessive or unreasonable usage continues after a request to stop or alter, the network provider, may without further notice, suspend, modify, or restrict that customer’s use of the service or withdraw it completely.

12.7 Peak data usage is between 6am and midnight, and off peak is from midnight to 6am the following day.

12.8 Data usage

• The network provider measures your usage in 10KB blocks, rounded upwards at the end of a data session or every 20 minutes, whichever comes first. For this reason your Primo Portal usage may differ slightly at time of billing.

14.1 You’re liable for any loss (fire, theft or damage) of the Primo equipment during the term of the contract and whilst it is in your possession. It’s your responsibility to have insurance cover against potential liability under this clause if you elect to do so.

15.1 As a consumer, it is important that you understand that any rights you may have, or obligations we may have to you, under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986 apply alongside these Terms, and are not impacted by anything in these Terms.

15.2 If you are using our Services for business purposes as defined in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 you acknowledge that the provisions of that Act do not apply to the Services we are providing to you under this agreement.

16.1 Your liability to us:

• you accept your liability to us for breach of contract or negligence, and
• you are not liable for any loss to the extent that it is caused by us (for example, through our breach of contract or negligence).

16.2 Our liability to you:

Phew!

16.4 You may become aware that you have suffered loss before we do. If you suffer any loss as a result of this agreement, you agree to take reasonable steps to avoid or minimise your loss and that we are not liable for any loss that results from your failure to take reasonable steps to do so.

Until title passes Primo will have the authority through its agents and employees to retake, sell and otherwise dispose or reuse any part of the stuff by entering your or the property where the stuff is installed or reasonably believed to be so installed for the purposes of removal of the stuff.

19.1 It is important to primo that all eligible Primo customers are able to access our services, and get the best possible experience. For this reason, and to ensure the provision of a quality service, a Fair Use Policy applies to some of our services where your usage can affect that of other customers. We have developed this Fair Use Policy by reference to average member profiles and estimated member use of our services.

19.2 We may issue a warning or suspend your services under this Fair Use Policy where in our reasonable opinion your use of our services is excessive and/or unreasonable by materially exceeding estimated usage patterns over any month. Where reasonable, Primo will provide you with 30 days notice before suspension, restriction or termination.

19.3 If, after we have requested that you stop or alter your use to come within our Fair Use Policy, your excessive or unreasonable use continues, we may after providing written notice, apply charges to your account for the excessive and/or unreasonable element of your use; suspend, modify or restrict your use of our services or withdraw your access to the services. If we terminate your services and you have agreed to a fixed contract term, you may have to pay the applicable early termination fee.

19.4 Bandwidth allocated to unlimited internet users is reviewed and increased as required, but at any time there is a fixed amount of bandwidth available. The aim of this clause of the Fair Use Policy is to ensure that the experience of the vast majority of unlimited internet users is not compromised by the extreme and unreasonable usage of a few. Primo reserves the right to modify (through speed and other variables) the behaviour of individual users that frequently use significantly more data than the majority of the unlimited users and/or use their internet service in a way that negatively affects the experience of other users. If an unlimited internet customer is found to be in the top 1% to 5% of users and their usage is negatively impacting the network, Primo may attempt to communicate with the user asking them to modify their usage, may suggest a more suitable solution for all parties involved, or may exercise its rights outlined in clause 19.2 above.

19.5 You acknowledge that Primo does not and cannot in any way supervise, edit or control the content and form of any information or data accessed through the internet, and Primo shall not be held responsible in any way for any content or information accessed via the service. Furthermore, Primo disclaims all or any responsibility or liability for any material on the internet that you may find offensive, upsetting, defamatory, and personally offensive and in any way unsuitable for minors.

19.6 You are not permitted to operate servers from the service and you are not permitted to on-sell this service without written approval from us. You are not permitted to send spam or bulk mail using the service and we reserve the right to charge you a clean-up fee to rectify the result of such activity by you at a maximum charge of $200 per article.

2.1 On Account Services:

Fixed Term: If you have signed up for a fixed contract term, you agree to receive the On Account Service(s) for at least the length of that fixed period. After the fixed period, we will provide the On Account Service(s) to you on a month by month basis until they are cancelled in accordance with this Agreement. You agree to pay an early termination charge or transfer fee if you terminate the On Account Service, change to another Plan, or sign up for a new fixed term on your current Plan before the end of the fixed term. Your fixed contract term will start from the date your On Account Service is connected, or from the date your connection is activated when switching your phone number from Prepay to On Account.

Open Term: If you have not signed up for a fixed contract term, we will provide the On Account Services to you on a month by month basis until they are cancelled in accordance with this Agreement.

3.1 The quality and coverage of the Mobile Services depends partly on your mobile device and partly on the Network.

3.2 Coverage and Mobile Services can be adversely affected by radio interference, atmospheric conditions, geographic factors, Network congestion, maintenance, outages on other networks and provider sites, the configuration or limitations on your, or your intended recipient’s mobile device, or other operational and technical difficulties which mean that you may not receive some or all of the Mobile Services in certain areas or at certain times.

3.3 Coverage and Mobile Services may also change with Network expansion or reconfiguration.

3.4 The mobile network operator reserves the right to prioritise specific types of traffic over other traffic at times of congestion (and for limited time periods) where they consider there will be significant customer interest in the specific type of traffic and these actions are necessary to ensure customers receive an acceptable experience.

3.5 Voice messaging is part of the Mobile Services we provide. You are responsible for changing the PIN from the present number and setting your own PIN for the Voicemail service. You are responsible for all access into and out of the Voicemail service. We may limit the number and duration of messages that can be left on your Voicemail service. You are also responsible for setting your own password for access to any email services made available to you through the Mobile Services.

3.6 You acknowledge that we do not support third party Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) and that we can provide no assurance that currently available access levels may be maintained.

3.7 We can require you to stop using any SIM card or mobile device immediately if we believe you have used it to spam others or if it is not approved by us for use on the Network or in connection with any of our Mobile Services.

3.8 You must not use any mobile device which masks or in any way alters the true origination of any call or other transmission.

3.9 (Calling 0900 numbers currently unavailable) When you are connected to our Mobile Services, your connection may have been programmed so that you are restricted from making certain calls. Eg. 0900 numbers can be used by scams, and if used inappropriately, can cause excessive call costs, Primo safeguards customers by turning this off.  If you would like to have the restriction removed, you should contact our Helpdesk.

 

3.10 Features, and access to content on Mobile Services may vary between mobile devices, and we cannot guarantee your device supports all our Mobile Services.

4.1 You may be able to use your Mobile Services in other countries. We call this “roaming”.

4.2 For a list of eligible Plans, countries in which you can use roaming services, and our roaming charges, please see one.nz/roaming. The On Account Roaming Terms and Conditions will also apply.

4.3 The terms and conditions on which you may use overseas networks will depend on the country you are visiting. The terms and conditions of those overseas network operators will apply in addition to ours. You may also incur charges directly from the overseas network operator in addition to our Charges.

4.4 Your ability to use roaming services may be subject to you meeting our credit criteria. A set-up fee may apply. We may also ask you to pay a non-interest bearing deposit or impose a credit limit or other restrictions.

4.5 These terms and conditions may change from time to time. Primo’s standard terms and conditions shall also apply.

5.1 You must keep your mobile device and SIM card secure at all times. We recommend that you use a PIN and other access code features provided with your mobile device, the SIM card or the Mobile Services to ensure that only you are able to access and use the Mobile Services.

5.2 If you are using a PIN on your mobile device and the PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card will automatically block. To unblock the SIM card you will need the PUK (Personal Unlocking Code), which you can get in the desktop version of My One NZ. You will be required to answer some security questions first. Entering the incorrect PUK code 10 times will permanently block the SIM and you will not be able to retrieve information stored on the SIM card (such as phone numbers and TXT messages). You will then be required to purchase a new SIM card which comes with a new PUK code.

5.3 If your mobile device or SIM card is lost or stolen, you must contact our Helpdesk immediately so that we can prevent the Mobile Services from being used. This is important as you will be responsible for paying all Charges up until the time you let us know about the loss or theft, (or will lose any Prepay credit used). We may charge you a replacement fee for a new SIM card.

5.4 We will not be responsible for any loss you suffer as a result of the loss, theft, damage to, or unauthorised use of your mobile device or SIM card.

5.5 We will not be responsible for any harm you suffer from a virus or other manipulating programme which infiltrates your mobile device, whether it was transmitted via the Mobile Services or otherwise.

5.6 Some services are available via the internet or other systems operated by third parties and, although we will try to maintain the security of information, we cannot guarantee that information you receive or supply when using the service will be secure at all times. You acknowledge that we are unable to exercise control over, and make no representations or warranties concerning, the security or content of information passing over our Network, any systems operated by third parties and the internet.

6.1 Any Primo SIM card provided to you will remain our property. You must return it to us in good condition when your Mobile Services end if we ask you to do so.

6.2 The SIM card can only be used for Mobile Services and must not be used in machine to machine equipment.

6.3 You are responsible for all Charges and for calls made using the SIM card issued to you until we deactivate the SIM card. Removing the SIM card from your mobile device will not deactivate the SIM card.

7.1 There is a one minute minimum charge for calls. All calls are rounded up and charged by the minute unless we tell you otherwise (e.g. if your call was for 1 minute and 40 seconds, you will be charged for 2 minutes).

7.2 If you call a 0900, calling card access number, audio conference or any other special number you will be charged the rate as published by the telecommunications service provider of that phone number, plus for special numbers, your normal calling rate.

7.3 Calls are charged at the rate which is applicable when the call is started.

7.4 It is your responsibility to check what telecommunications service provider a particular number is with (i.e. whether an 021 number is with One NZ). You can do this by TXTing the number to 300 (TXTs are free).

7.5 A single text message has a limit of 160 standard characters. If you go over this, most devices will break the message into segments with a maximum length of 153 standard characters. You’re then charged your text message rate for each segment sent. Some character sets, such as non-English language keyboards as well as emojis and emoticons, have a 70 character limit per text message and 67 characters per segment. If your message contains special characters, such as emojis, your device may send it as a picture message, or as multiple text messages. If this happens, you’ll be charged for each of those text messages or picture messages. Some devices will also convert long text messages which only contain standard characters to picture messages and you will be charged accordingly.

7.6 You will be charged the applicable Charge for each separate message sent (e.g. TXT, PXT, etc).

7.7 Calls to 123 and any other service number for other Network Operators will be charged. Genuine calls to 111 are free.

8.1 Your rights to suspend or cancel Mobile Services:

You may temporarily suspend your On Account Mobile Service for a period of up to three months by calling Customer Services and giving us one month’s notice. There must be at least twelve months between the end of one suspension and the start of any further suspension. During the period of suspension you will not have access to the On Account Mobile Service.

If you are in the fixed period of your contract when you suspend your On Account Mobile Service, the fixed period will be automatically extended by the length of time your account was suspended.

A reduced minimum monthly plan charge will be payable during the suspension period. We will advise you what this charge will be when you request a suspension.
