making any change but we do not have to pay you anything if we
change your number.
Clause 7. Wireless Data And Internet Content
If the service allows you to access material that originates from you or third parties, we may monitor material made available by you or any third party and remove any material that we consider to be
inappropriate or in breach of any law or third party right. We take no
responsibility for any material accessible using services that do not
originate directly from us. If the services provide links to third party sites,
we are in no way responsible for such links or the content of any such
sites. We have included such links for convenience and such inclusion is
in no way an endorsement of the applicable site or third party. We are not responsible for:
> ensuring that the information you access or make available through
using the services will be private or secure or free from viruses or
other harmful things.
> any transactions you enter into through use of the services or any
dealings between you and any advertisers or other third parties using
the services or your participation in any promotions.
> any inaccuracies in any material you obtain from the services or any
loss or damage arising from your use of such material.
> any delay in your receipt of information you select for transmission
to your mobile phone.
> fixing any faults in your mobile device or in any part of the Internet
beyond our telecommunications network.
Clause 8. Your Responsibility For Our Charges
Outgoing calls: For calls made from your mobile phone there is a one
minute minimum charge. Calls are charged in one minute increments.
You agree that you are liable for our charges for the services we provide
for you no matter who uses them. For example, you are responsible for
the charges for anyone else’s use of your telephone, even where you lose
your telephone. The standard charges for all our commonly used services
can be found at boostmobile.co.nz. We may change our charges from
time to time. You must pay the purchase price of any mobile phone or
other equipment you buy from us. We will continue to own the phone
and other equipment until you have paid for it in full. It will be at your
risk from the time it is delivered to you.
Clause 9. Using Your Boost Mobile Account
Topping Up your Account Balance: Our charges to you will include call
charges for your use of the network. You will only be able to use our
THE BOOST MOBILE GUIDE TERMS & CONDITIONS PAGE 33
Boost Mobile service to make calls if there is a credit balance in your
Boost Mobile account. To maintain a credit balance in your account, you
need to top up from time to time by buying and using Boost Mobile
Top-Up Cards or Telecom Go PREPAID Cards, by using selected ATM’s,
online at boostmobile.co.nz or by using your qualified credit card. You do
this over the phone by calling us free on 0800 32 32 32. We will tell you
which credit cards we accept. If the credit balance in your Boost Mobile
account is used up while you are on a call, the call will be automatically
disconnected. Boost Mobile & Telecom Go PREPAID balances and cards
are not refundable.
> Restricted use after your credit balance is used up: If you use up the credit balance in your Boost Mobile account and don’t top-up
you will be able to receive most incoming calls (except Collect Calls)
but the only calls you will be able to make will be 111 and other free calls.
Clause 10. Other Common Charges
Examples of other common charges for commonly used services include:
> charges for calls to Telecom Directory Assistance and our Cellular
Secretary message retrieval service.
> charges for other services available on your Boost Mobile Phone.
You must also pay any reasonable expenses we incur in exercising any of our legal rights.
STOPPING SERVICES
Clause 11. Withholding, Suspending Or Restricting Services:
If you do not meet any responsibilities you have to us or any Telecom
company, we may withhold, suspend or restrict any service at any time.
We will try to contact you before doing this. If our Boost Pre-Paid
Mobile service to you is suspended for this reason, you may have to pay a reconnection charge before you can use it again. If we restrict or disconnect a service, you may still be able to use some services and
normal charges continue to apply to your use of those other services.
We may also suspend or restrict any service in any other circumstances
if we think it reasonable or necessary. We will try to contact you before doing this.
Clause 12. Giving Up Or Ending Services
You may temporarily or permanently give up any additional service we
provide for you with our Boost Mobile service (such as our Cellular
Secretary message retrieval service) by calling our customer services on
0800 4BOOST. You may also give up our Boost Pre-Paid Mobile service
either by calling our customer services or simply by not topping up your
Boost Mobile account. Either way, the agreement you have with us will
remain in place unless you end it by writing to us. If you give up a
service and later want it reconnected, you may have to pay a
reconnection charge. If you give up your Boost Mobile Service:
> any unused Boost Mobile Top-Up Cards you have will still expire on
their expiry date.
> any unused credit balance on your Boost Mobile account will lapse.
> unless we agree otherwise (for example, if you have transferred to
another Telecom Mobile call plan covered by another agreement with us), any telephone numbers allocated for you to use under this
agreement will no longer be available to you; if those numbers are
listed, we may remove them from the next telephone book. We may
decide to stop providing any of our services to you. If we do this, we
will try to tell you at least one month before we stop providing the
service. We may do this by giving you notice under clause 20. The agreement you have with us will remain in place.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
THE BOOST MOBILE GUIDE TERMS & CONDITIONS PAGE 34
COMPENSATION AND LIABILITY
Clause 13. Your Rights To Compensation From Us
Reasonable Expenses: Where a service we provide to you is affected
because we do not meet our responsibilities to you, and you reasonably
incur expenses as a result, please let us know. We will contribute to your
expenses by sending you Boost Mobile Top-Up Cards to a value we
consider appropriate in the circumstances. For us to consider your claim,
you must tell us within one month after the service is affected. A Boost
Mobile Top-Up Card benefit is not available where such an event occurs
because we are not given correct information or through other causes
beyond our reasonable control. Consumer Guarantees Act 1993: If you
are acquiring our services for the purposes of a business as defined in
the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, or if you indicate to us that you are
doing so, you agree that the provisions of the Act do not apply to the
services we provide under this agreement. If you are not acquiring our
services for those purposes, the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 may
apply to the services we provide for you. Any rights you may have under
the Act apply in addition to the rights set out in this agreement.
Clause 14. Exclusion Of All Other Liability
We have set out your rights to claim compensation from us. We now
exclude all other liability we may have to you. The exclusion also applies
for the benefit of these people:
> Us and every Telecom company.
> Network operators other than us whose networks are connected to each other or to our network.
> All officers, employees, contractors and agents of the people listed above.
> Anyone else that the people listed above are responsible for.
None of these people are liable to you or has to pay for anything else
caused by or resulting from anything any of them do or do not do, or
delays in doing, whether or not it is contemplated or authorised by any
agreement you have with us. This exclusion applies whatever you are
claiming for and however any liability arises or might arise if it were not
for this clause. This exclusion does not prevent you getting a court order
requiring us to do anything we have agreed to do for you.
Clause 15. Limitation Of Our Liability
We have set out your rights to claim compensation from us and
excluded all other liability we or any of the people listed in clause 14 may have to you. If any of the other people listed in clause 14 are ever liable to you and, for any reason, cannot rely on the exclusion of
liability set out in clause 14, then this clause applies. Where this clause
applies, the maximum combined amount the persons listed in clause 14 (together) will have to pay you and anyone else who uses the
services we provide to you (together) is:
> $5,000 for any event or any series of related events
> a total of $10,000 in any 12 month period.
This limitation does not limit any rights you may have under the
Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 if you are not acquiring our services for the purposes of a business as defined in that Act or if you have not
indicated to us that you are doing so.
THE BOOST MOBILE GUIDE TERMS & CONDITIONS PAGE 35
GENERAL
Clause 16. Information About You
Collecting Information: While you have an agreement with us, you
agree that we and Telecom companies may collect information about
you. The information may be obtained from you and others or generated
within our network when you or anyone else uses our services. You may
decide whether to provide any information any of us seeks from you.
However, if you do not provide it, we and Telecom companies may not
be able to provide services for you. You may ask to see information any
of us holds about you and ask for any details that are wrong to be
corrected. Holding and Using Information: We and Telecom companies
may hold the information and share it with each other and with Telecom
employees and contractors and with credit reference agencies. This
enables us and Telecom companies and agencies to provide services to
you and others, send you bills, recover money you owe and keep you
informed of services available to you. We and Telecom companies may:
> share with other network operators the telephone numbers allocated
to you and any other information needed to enable you to make and
receive calls through their networks; this does not include your name
and address.
> share with any person using services provided by any of us the
telephone numbers allocated to you (except when sharing with other
network operators) your name and address; this information may
also be used in directories and other publicly available publications
and databases. We may occasionally monitor telephone calls and
conversations between customers and our personnel so as to help
train our personnel to provide better customer service. Any
information we collect by doing this will be used in strict compliance
with privacy laws. Restricting Access to Information: You may prefer
to restrict access to your name, address and telephone numbers
allocated to you. Please call us on 0800 4BOOST if you want to
know about ways you can do this. You are responsible for keeping
confidential any Personal Identification Number or password used by
or allocated to you. We may assume that any request or instruction
we receive is authorised by you if it is made from your mobile phone.
Clause 17. These Terms Apply At All Times
These terms continue to apply for as long as the agreement you have with us remains in place, no matter where you live and whatever
telephone numbers we allocate for you to use from time to time. These terms do not apply to anything any other network operators
agree to do for you under any agreements between you and them.
Clause 18. Changing These Terms
We may change or remove any of these terms or add new ones. Changes may take the form of completely new terms. We can do this
without the need to obtain the consent of the people listed in clause 14.
We will try and give you one month’s notice of any changes. We may do this by giving you notice under clause 20. The notice may set out the actual changes or explain their general nature. Please ask us at any
time for a free copy of the current terms governing our Boost Pre-Paid
Mobile service. A copy of our current terms are always available at
boostmobile.co.nz.
Clause 19. Other Terms
Other terms apply to some services we may provide for you in
connection with our Boost Mobile service. For example, additional terms apply when we provide Telecom Directories’ listing services. Where that is the case, we will tell you about those terms or send you a copy of them.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
THE BOOST MOBILE GUIDE TERMS & CONDITIONS PAGE 36
Clause 20. Sending Notices
If you tell us your address or fax number, we may send notices to you at the last address or fax number you have given us. Please tell us if you
change your address or fax number by calling our customer services. We
may also send you notices by SMS (or any other means available to us).
We can assume that any notice has been delivered five days after we
sent it and any fax has been received if we hold a correct confirmation
of transmission. You do not have to tell us your name, address or fax
number. If we do not have these details we may not send notices to you.
Clause 21. Meeting Our Responsibilities Through Agents
We may have any Telecom company or Telecom-approved agent
perform any part of our side of the agreement you have with us. In that
case each of those companies or agents and their officers, employees,
contractors and agents will have the benefit of any terms of this
agreement that confer benefits on us.
Clause 22. Transferring Our Responsibilities
We may transfer to someone else the whole of our side of the
agreement you have with us.
Clause 23. Each Term Separately Binding
Each term of every agreement you have with us is separately binding. If for any reason you, we or any of the people listed in clause 14 cannot
rely on any term, all other terms remain binding.
Clause 24. Ending The Agreement You Have With Us
The ending of this agreement does not affect any rights and
responsibilities which are intended to continue or come into force
afterwards. These include the rights and responsibilities under clauses 4 to 10, 13 to 16, 23 and 24 of this agreement.
