General ...Top
The following are the terms and conditions (called "these Terms") for the supply of goods and services by us. We may change these Terms from time to time without notice to you. However, any changes will only apply to any orders received after the change.
We intend to rely upon these Terms. If you want to change them, please make sure you ask for any changes to be put in writing before you place your order. This is to avoid any misunderstandings as to what we and you are expected to do. It is important that you read and understand these Terms before ordering from us. If there is any term that you do not understand please notify our Customer Care Department before ordering from us.
Our offers will have specific terms which are applicable to them and these will be explained to you by phone or on our website at the relevant page.
You must be over 18 to order any products from us. We only accept orders from you if you are resident in the United Kingdom. By ordering from us you confirm that you are over 18 and in the United Kingdom. Delivery can only be made to addresses in the United Kingdom.
The benefit of any contract entered into with us is personal to you and only you can enforce the contractual terms.
Supply of Phones ...Top
Unless we have specifically agreed to sell you a phone on a handset only basis we only agree to sell or supply a phone to you on the basis that you enter into an airtime agreement to connect the phone we supply to an airtime provider for a minimum period of 12 months on the particular network and tariff that is associated with the phone. If there is a connection fee and/or a delivery charge, you must also pay that. The reason we insist on this is because mobile phones typically are worth several hundred pounds and we can only sell or supply a phone either free or for a price far below what the phone is worth (depending on the model or offer) if you also enter into such an airtime agreement. Your contract for airtime is not with us but is with a separate airtime provider.
If we deliver a phone to you (other than a handset only phone) and you do not enter into the associated airtime agreement or you cancel your agreement AND do not return the phone to us (or where permitted under paragraph 10 do not enable us to collect it) we will charge you the retail price of the handset only phone. Our price list is on the website or available on request.
PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ORDER TO USE A HANDSET ONLY PHONE YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE YOUR OWN SIM CARD AND MAKE SEPARATE ARRANGEMENTS FOR AIRTIME.
The phone and any other goods we deliver to you become your responsibility once they are delivered to you.
Ordering from us ...Top
The details on our websites or in our advertisements or contained in our marketing materials and activities are not offers that you can accept. All orders for phones other than for a handset only phone are subject to you passing any status and credit checks required by the airtime provider. Where you are paying any money for the goods, all orders are subject to obtaining payment authorisation from your credit or debit card provider. We will let you know if you do not pass these checks or if we do not obtain such authorisations.
Please note that any automated reply or acknowledgement of your order that you may receive from us by email is not an acceptance of your order. The contract between us is made when we despatch the goods to you. If you have ordered through our website, we will send you an email confirming this. Only the goods stated on that email will be included in the contract.
Prior to entering the contract, we will be under no obligation to supply you with the mobile phone or other goods or services you have ordered.
We reserve the right to refuse or reject any order to obtain any goods or services at any time.
To purchase from us, you will need to use a credit, debit or charge card. If you order by our website, you will also need an e-mail address as we will use this to contact you. It is your responsibility to verify that your mailbox is in proper working order and you must assume the risk of all consequences for transmission or operational failures.
In order to obtain a phone from us unless it is a handset only phone, it is necessary to pay your monthly payments to the airtime provider by direct debit. We will arrange for this to be set up automatically for you and details will be confirmed to you by your airtime provider in writing soon after connection together with confirmation of when your first and ongoing payments will be taken. If there is a change to the date, amount or frequency of your direct debit, you will be given 10 working days' notice before any money is debited from your account. In the unlikely event of an error, you are entitled to an immediate refund from your bank. You have the right to cancel the direct debit at any time. This guarantee is offered by all banks and building societies that take part in the direct debit scheme. However you should be aware that airtime agreements usually require payments to be made by direct debit and you may be in breach of your airtime agreement if you cancel a direct debit or request a refund. A copy of the safeguards will be sent to you with your confirmation letter within a few days of connection.
If you order insurance through us the insurance company will require a direct debit for any insurance premiums. We will arrange for this to be set up automatically for you and details will be confirmed to you by the insurer in writing soon after connection together with confirmation of when your first and ongoing payments will be taken. If there is a change to the date, amount or frequency of your direct debit, you will be given 10 working days' notice before any money is debited from your account. In the unlikely event of an error, you are entitled to an immediate refund from your bank. You have the right to cancel the direct debit at any time. This guarantee is offered by all banks and building societies that take part in the direct debit scheme. However you should be aware that your insurance may cease if you cancel a direct debit or request a refund. A copy of the safeguards will be sent to you with your confirmation letter within a few days of connection.
Once you are connected to your airtime provider, your first bill may not be for a complete month. The exact period will depend on the particular billing cycle that the airtime provider operates. We do not have any control over this but it does mean that any free minutes and/or free messages are pro rated from connection up until the date of your first bill. We recommend that you check this with your airtime provider upon receipt of the phone. Your airtime provider's telephone number is included with the paperwork that will be sent to you with your phone.
Price ...Top
If you have agreed to pay for the phone or any goods during a telephone call with us, the price will be the price that we tell you during our telephone call. If you order from our website (unless we have made an error) the price will be the price quoted on the online order form.
Occasionally we may make a mistake in the price quoted on our website or in an advertisement and if we have made such an error, then we will inform you of this as soon as we become aware of it and will tell you the correct price and ask you if you still wish to place a new order with us. If we have not heard back from you within 10 days, then we will assume that you did not want to place a new order and we will give you a full refund if you have already paid.
We reserve the right to cancel the contract between us if one or more of the goods you ordered were listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or because of an error in our website. If we do cancel your contract in such circumstances, we will notify you by e-mail and will re-credit to your account any sum deducted by us from your credit card as soon as possible but in any event within 30 days of your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered.
By ordering from us, you agree that we are authorised to charge your credit, debit or charge card with the amount shown on the online order form or the amount we agree with you over the phone.
Delivery ...Top
Delivery is normally free but if certain dates or times are requested, you may be required to pay extra for delivery. Any delivery charges will be explained to you by phone or, if you order from our website, will be stated on the website.
We will try to deliver the goods on the date agreed with you. If we are not able to do so, then we will inform you and we will agree an alternative date with you or you may, if you wish, cancel the contract and we will fully reimburse you. We will deliver to the address agreed with you at the time you place your order. You must be available to accept personal delivery and sign acknowledgement of delivery. If the package appears damaged when it is delivered to you we advise you not to accept delivery.
We strongly recommend that, upon receipt, you inspect the phone. In the unlikely event that we deliver the wrong phone to you or the phone or other goods are defective or damaged, please inform us as soon as reasonably possible.
We will not be liable for any delays beyond our reasonable control. If you delay a delivery, our responsibility for everything other than damage due to our negligence will end on the date we agreed to deliver it.
If we are unable to provide you with the phone you have ordered for reasons beyond our reasonable control, you will be contacted as soon as possible at which point you will be offered the choice of accepting a substitute phone (if available) or a complete refund of any sums that you have paid.
Data Protection and Privacy ...Top

We will also pass on your personal details to service providers to enable them to set up direct debits, administer your airtime agreement and perform checks with credit reference agencies and for anti-fraud checks. We may also carry out status checks. If you order your insurance through us, you give us permission to pass your data to relevant insurance companies. If you order other services through us such as home fixed line services, you consent to us passing your personal data to suppliers of such services
You consent to us and people to whom we pass your personal details to contact you by post, email, SMS and phone. You consent to us obtaining information from the relevant airtime provider, insurance company or provider of mobile phone replacement schemes and any repairers about your use of the phone we supply to you.
You may request us to stop using your data or contacting you in particular ways (other than as is necessary for the performance of our obligations under our agreement or as permitted by law) by contacting our Data Protection Controller at the address below.
We may also disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law for example to the Financial Services Authority and other regulatory and government agencies.
We monitor the use of our website for customer traffic and purchasing patterns and our website uses "session cookies" to enable us to keep track of your orders.
To help us and airtime providers to make credit decisions about you, to prevent fraud and to check your identity, we and the airtime providers may search our own files and the files of credit reference agencies who will record any credit searches on your file. Details of how you conduct your account may be disclosed to such agencies. The information will be used by other credit grantors for making credit decisions about you and the people with whom you are financially associated, for fraud prevention, money laundering prevention and occasionally for tracing debtors.
