The right to use the Service is personal to you & will continue until our agreement with you comes to an end.

The Service allows only one person to access the service and only one connection may be made at any time using your user name and password. Please note that a connection from a computer network is not a single connection when more than one user will access the Service, and is therefore a breach of the conditions. You can share use of the Service with members of your family or business provided that only one person is connected to the service at any give time.

In order to use the Service you will be given a password and a user name. It is important that you keep these secret. We will change your password if you request us to do so or if we think that another person is using it.

All fees must be paid in advance of the period of use. The amount payable by you and the payment intervals will be set out on your order form or service connection request.

(a) With 7 days notice in writing or by e-mail if any payment is due to us is 7 days or more overdue.
