Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, no service level guarantees or rebates of any kind are payable unless otherwise stated in the relevant Conditions of Service.
Our liability to you for any Interruption to a Service is limited in accordance with Clause 15.

3.2 Training

We are not responsible for training you in the use of Services.

3.3 Licences

We will obtain and hold any necessary licences required under Law in relation to our provision of Services to you.

3.4 Commencement

Our Agreement commences when we accept (at our sole discretion) your Application and continues until terminated in accordance with our Agreement.
When you request us to supply a Service to you, which may be made using our Application Forms (either online or printed), or by telephone, we decide whether to accept your Application and to supply the Service to you based on:

the Conditions of Service;
your eligibility for that Service;
its availability to you;
you meeting our credit requirements; and
your prior conduct or history with respect to any previous supply by us or a reseller of any goods or service to you.

3.5 Application

The terms of these General Terms do not apply to the extent that we have agreed on different conditions with you. In particular, the Application which you completed in order to receive the Service and the Conditions of Service relating to your required service may require different terms, for example you may be required to receive the Service from us for a minimum or fixed term which is greater than a month to month period (‘Fixed Term’).

You acknowledge that if you do contact one of our Third Party Suppliers that you will be liable for all costs imposed on us by our Third Party Supplier in connection with you having contacted that Third Party Supplier directly.

3.7 Changing our Agreement

During the term of our Agreement, we may need to change the terms or charges of our Agreement due to circumstances beyond our control, including changes in Law, urgent changes required for security reasons, changes by one of our Third Party Suppliers of the terms on which they supply services to us or to the functionality or nature of a Service or its underlying technology. We are therefore not always able to provide you with ongoing supply of a Service on the same terms and conditions that existed when we first commenced providing that Service to you.
In addition to changes which we are required to make due to circumstances beyond our control, we may elect to make changes for our own purposes during the term of our Agreement. Any changes we elect to make will take effect for your Service in accordance with Clauses 3.8 and 3.9 below.
You acknowledge and agree that in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b), from time to time the nature of the Services and the terms on which we supply those Services to you may change and that if we elect to change those terms we will give you notice in accordance with Clauses 3.8 and 3.9 below.

3.8 Your Rights if we Change the Agreement

Subject to the exceptions permitted by Clause 3.9, we will give you notice of any changes we propose to make to our Agreement, including the terms of these General Terms, at least thirty days prior to the date on which those changes are to take effect.
Subject to the exceptions permitted by Clause 3.9, if the changes we propose to make will cause more than a minor detriment to you then you may immediately cancel the affected Service without incurring any early termination fee or penalty (provided that we can recover any outstanding Fees incurred up to the date on which our Agreement ends and any outstanding amounts that cover installation costs or equipment where such equipment can be used in connection with services provided by other suppliers), by giving us notice in writing to that effect within 42 days of the date of the notice referred to in paragraph (a) above.
If the date you give notice to us to cancel the Service in accordance with paragraph (b) occurs after the date of the change to our Agreement, the change will not apply to you. We will issue a corrected invoice or adjustment note as appropriate and, if you have overpaid as a result of the change to our Agreement, credit your account with the overpayment or, if you have cancelled your Service with us, refund the overpayment promptly after deduction of any other amounts due by you to us. Upon cancellation of the service due to a change to our Agreement that has more than a minor detrimental impact on you, the charge for costs of equipment we have provided to you that you have not paid for shall be owed by you as a lump sum and payable by the due date.
You acknowledge and agree that if you do not give notice to us within the 42 day period referred to in paragraph (b), you are deemed to have accepted our changes from the date those changes are to take effect and that our Agreement, as amended by those changes, will govern the relationship between you and us from that date.

3.9 Exceptions

You acknowledge and agree that our obligation to give you thirty days’ notice of our proposed changes and to afford you a right to terminate our Agreement in accordance with Clause 3.8 will not apply in relation to:

urgent changes we are required to make by Law, for security reasons or technical reasons necessary to protect the integrity of our network;
the introduction of a new Fee or an increase in an existing Fee due to an additional tax or levy imposed by Law;
the introduction of a new Fee or an increase in existing administrative Fees for ancillary services such as credit card transaction fees (provided we have offered you a reasonable alternative at the same or lesser cost to the original Fee); and
increases in Fees due to increases imposed on us by other suppliers (including Third Party Suppliers) for the following types of Services and charges:
1. international carriage services (including for voice and data) the current Fees for which are available via our website; and
2. content and premium services (including 1900 prefix services) which we resell to you from a third party, including where we collect fees from you on behalf of that third party.

Where practicable to do so, we will give you reasonable notice of the changes referred to in this Clause 3.9 in accordance with the notice provisions of Clause 18.1.

3.10 Change of Account Holder

If you require your account to be changed into the name of another person, you can do so by having you and the new account holder complete the Account Holder Change Form (which will attract an administrative fee as set out in our Schedule of Fees and Charges). You will remain liable for your obligations under our Agreement up to the date that we acknowledge acceptance of the change of account holder. The new account holder will be required to agree to be bound by the Agreement prior to the transfer being accepted by SkyMesh.

If a Service is used to access the facilities or services of another supplier, amounts charged by that other supplier are, unless our Agreement specifies otherwise, your responsibility, and you will indemnify us in relation to any such charges. If we are charged those amounts we may include them in the Fees.
If during any period of our Agreement you do not receive, or are unable to use, the Services you will, unless our Agreement specifically provides otherwise, be liable to pay for all Fees during such period.

We may invoice you for the Service, plus any applicable GST. We may vary invoice frequency upon giving you reasonable notice. All portions of your use of the Services are charged for and unused allocations are not transferable or refundable.

If you contact your bank and we incur a bank fee as a result, we reserve the right to pass this fee on to you.

4.8 Late payment fees

We reserve the right to charge a late payment fee as set out in Our Schedule of Fees and Charges in respect of any invoice which is not paid to us by the Due Date.

4.9 Suspension for Non-Payment

We reserve the right to;

physically disconnect your service if Fees or any other amount payable by you remains unpaid 28 days after the Due Date (unless we have received written notice from you of a legitimate dispute of those Fees or other amount prior to the Due Date and that dispute remains unresolved); and
suspend your service if you fail to pay the outstanding amount in full within 3 days after we give you a notice demanding payment of the Fees which for the avoidance of doubt will include any administrative fees.

4.10 Dishonoured Direct Debit Transaction or Credit Card Authorisation

In addition to any other rights that we have under the Agreement in relation to late payment, if an invoice is paid by direct debit or credit card authorisation and sufficient funds are not available, a dishonour fee will be added to your next invoice as set out in the Schedule of Fees and Charges.

4.11 Debt Recovery Services

We may use debt recovery services to recover any outstanding Fees (which will include any administrative fees and you may be liable for any charges and collection costs such as legal costs).

4.13 Refunds and Credits

The set-up fee is processed upon commencement date and is non-refundable unless we are unable to provision the service for you.
In the event that your account for a Service is terminated and monies are owed to you by us (for example, for the unexpired portion of any Fee paid in advance by you), you agree that we may deduct any outstanding Fees on final settlement of your account and state on your final invoice (as applicable) the amount credited to you or the amount you must pay to us.

If, at the time of application, we have reasonable grounds to believe you may be a credit risk, we may request that you pay in advance the estimated cost of using your Service for an invoice period.
We may decline your Application, cancel, suspend or disconnect a Service if you do not provide the prepayment in advance when requested to do so in accordance with paragraph (a) above.
If we cancel or disconnect all of the Services, we will return to you that portion of the prepayment that is not required to meet any outstanding Fees.

4.15 Disputed Invoices

If you dispute an invoice or claim a refund for overpayment of any Fees under our Agreement you should do so within 5 months of the date of the invoice to which the disputed amount or alleged overpayment relates.
Nothing in this Clause 4.15 limits your right to issue proceedings in relation to a disputed invoice or alleged overpayment.

To the extent that we provide you with a standard telephone service, as defined in the Telecommunications (Consumer Protection and Service Standards) Act 1999, and specified enhanced call handling features, our service must comply with the CSG. The CSG sets out minimum performance standards in relation to service connection times, fault repair times and keeping appointments to provide you with a Service. The CSG does not apply to Customer Equipment or to customers that have more than five telephone services. We will connect Services not covered by the CSG within a reasonable time.
If we do not meet the CSG performance standards, you may be entitled to receive monetary compensation as specified in the CSG. However, there are circumstances in which we may be exempt from meeting those requirements, including if you have agreed to a CSG waiver under the terms of the relevant Conditions of Service in accordance with Part 5 of the Act, where you unreasonably refuse us access to your premises or if you miss an appointment without giving us reasonable notice. For more information about the CSG, go to the ACMA website at https://www.acma.gov.au/.

15.3 Our liability for Interruptions to the Service

1. Subject to Clause 15.3(b), we accept liability to you for Interruptions to the Service to the extent of providing you with a pro-rata refund of service charges payable for the duration of the Interruption.

    1. a system or network outage for an insignificant period;
    2. scheduled maintenance to Our Network, a Third Party Supplier’s network, Our Equipment or Purchased Equipment;

3. if you are separately entitled to receive compensation in respect of the same Interruption in accordance with Clause 15.2 or Clause 15.4.
To receive the refund set out in Clause 15.3(a), you must contact our Customer Support line on 1300 759 637 and lodge a complaint about the Interruption.

15.4 Consumer Guarantees

We agree to provide Services to you subject only to the terms, conditions and warranties contained in the Agreement and those imposed by Law which cannot be excluded. For example, if we supply Equipment or a Service to you which costs less than a prescribed amount (currently $40,000) or which, regardless of cost is of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use, then Consumer Guarantees require that:

the Service will:
1. be provided with due care and skill;
2. be fit for any Disclosed Purpose (unless you do not rely on, or it is unreasonable for you to rely on, our skill or judgement that the Service will be fit for that Disclosed Purpose);

the Equipment will:
1. be of acceptable quality and match any description;
2. comply with any express warranties we give you;
3. have clear title, not be subject to undisclosed securities and give you a right to undisturbed possession, (subject to Clause 10.1(a) and Clause 11.1(a));

5. match any sample or demonstration model.
If the Equipment or Service we supply to you fails to meet a Consumer Guarantee then, subject to our right to limit our liability under Clause 15.5,:
1. when the problem with the Equipment or Service is minor, we can choose between providing a repair or offering you a replacement or refund;
2. when there is a major failure, you can:
  1. reject the Equipment or Service within a reasonable period (including Equipment connected with the Service) and either choose a refund or a replacement; or
  2. ask for compensation for any drop in value of the Equipment or Service; and
3. you can ask for compensation for any reasonably foreseeable loss incurred by you as a result of the failure.

15.5 Limitation of Liability

Where we are not permitted to exclude our liability for our breach of a Consumer Guarantee, but are permitted to limit our liability for such a breach, then, unless you are able to establish that it is not fair and reasonable for us to do so, our liability to you is limited to:
1. if the breach relates to Equipment, the repair or replacement of the Equipment, the supply of equivalent Equipment or the payment of the cost of repairing or replacing the Equipment or supplying equivalent Equipment; or
2. if the breach relates to a Service, resupplying the Service or payment of the cost of having the Service resupplied.
The limitations of liability in Clause 15.5(a) do not apply to:
1. a breach of the Consumer Guarantees relating to clear title, undisclosed securities and undisturbed possession under sections 51 to 53 of Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth); or

any Claim by you or any other person for Consequential Loss (other than as described at Clause 15.4(c)(iii));
any loss or damage suffered by you in connection with this Agreement or the Service to the extent that your acts or omissions or any Customer Equipment cause or contribute to that loss or damage;
any loss to the extent that it results from your failure to take reasonable steps to avoid or minimise your loss; and
acts, omissions or defaults of any Third Party Supplier or any person who provides goods or services directly to you for use in connection with a Service. However, we will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that any Third Party Supplier cooperates in order to deliver the Service in a timely manner, provides and maintains the Service in a responsible fashion and rectifies any faults in relation to the Service in a timely manner.

15.7 Cancellation of a Service

Cancellation of a Service or termination or expiry of this Agreement does not affect the provisions of this Agreement concerning limitation of liability and indemnity.

16. FORCE MAJEURE

any delay in installing a Service;
any delay in correcting any fault in a Service;
failure to provide a Service or incorrect operation of any Service;
Service outages; or
any default by us in compliance with this Agreement,

if it is caused directly or indirectly by a Force Majeure Event.

19.7 Payment Terms

You must pay for the Service over the full Agreement Term, and acknowledge that our payment terms are monthly in advance. Your SkyMesh Tax Invoice will be issued monthly on the same calendar day (where possible), including rental of the service in advance, and any Data Blocks purchased during the prior billing period.
If you’ve registered with us for automatic credit/debit card or direct debit payments, we will process a payment for the invoiced amount within 24 hours of issuance of the Tax Invoice. However, if you also have a SkyMesh Phone or SkyMesh Voice product on the same SkyMesh Tax Invoice, we will give you an extra 10 Business Days to review the charges on your Tax Invoice. If you wish to dispute any charges on your Tax Invoice, you may call our Accounts Team on 1300 759 637 to begin the SkyMesh Invoice Dispute Resolution Process. Once your dispute is lodged, you’ll be re-invoiced and/or credited such that your account balance temporarily reflects only the remaining non-disputed charges. If your payment has not yet been processed, then the payment to be processed will cover only the nondisputed charges. If your payment had already been processed at the time you began the dispute process, your account will be credited or refunded to reflect only non-disputed charges. If the disputed charges are later determined to be fully or partially correct, the relevant charges will be added to your next SkyMesh Tax Invoice. Should your credit/debit card or direct debit account not be able to be debited for any reason, you will be considered in default and we reserve the right to disable your account and to collect all outstanding fees and charges including those charges incurred as a result of your default in payment.
You agree to assist SkyMesh with any requested troubleshooting activities when you report a problem with your Service, and you acknowledge that SkyMesh is not able to progress your support request without your assistance and participation.

You are responsible for providing all necessary equipment for the connection to the Service, including a computer with a network adaptor and a stable 230 Volt AC electricity supply.
