a. A setup charge and a relocation charge if the Service can be relocated to the correct address or phone number;
 
b. A setup charge and an early termination charge if the incorrect Service cannot be relocated.
 
Provisioning may be rejected or delayed by our telecommunications provider due to, but not limited to, transpositioning (where the line cannot carry broadband). Such issues are outside of our control. If there are issues, you must give us the opportunity to fully investigate the reasons for such rejections or delays before terminating the contract.
 
ONSITE SERVICE OF BROADBAND
 
If we determines on reasonable grounds that any fault which you report to us and for which we send out a technician to your premises is not related to our infrastructure (for example faulty socket, modem, internal wiring) an Incorrect Call out fee of $240 may apply.
 
Incorrect Call out fee for iTalkBB Onsite technician:$240
The onsite technician may require the customer to be home during the appointment time and the booking time can be only changed or cancelled 3 or more days prior to the appointment. After making the appointment, if you are not at home during that time, you may be charged for incorrect call out fee in the amount of $240.
 
The actual speeds for our Service can vary substantially due to many factors. These include distance from local exchange, quality of phone line, EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference), the number and type of other services using the line, the capacity of the uplink, and the Customer's modem/router.
 
For the Service, your download speed is throttled (slowed) to a specified speed once the monthly download quota is exceeded until the start of the next billing month. iTalkBB may manage traffic flows in its network for purposes associated with targeting efficient utilization of available network resources.
 
With Plans which consist of a peak and off peak download quota, the download speed is throttled (slowed) to a specified speed for the period in which the download quota has been exceeded (peak or off peak) until the start of the next billing month.
 
iTalkBB may change the peak and off peak times subject to section 11.
In calculating download usage, 1GB (Gigabyte) is equal to 1000MB (Megabyte); 1MB is equal to 1000KB (Kilobyte).
 
 
(a) iTalkBB has the right to suspend, restrict or terminate your Service (at its discretion) at any time if:
• you are in material breach of this Agreement; and
• we have notified you in writing of your breach of the Agreement and
• you have failed to remedy the breach within 7 days of the notification; or
• the breach cannot be remedied (in which case we can terminate the Service immediately upon giving you notice).
You will be in material breach of this Agreement if you:
• do not pay the charges for your Service, including where payment is made by direct debit or Credit Card, and the direct debit or Credit Card is declined for any reason; or
• use your Service in a way which we reasonably believe is fraudulent, poses an unacceptable risk to our security or network capability or is illegal or likely to be found illegal.
(b) iTalkBB can suspend, restrict or terminate your Service (at its discretion) by notifying you with as much warning as we reasonably can if:
• iTalkBB is required by law to do so;
• the Service becomes illegal or iTalkBB reasonably believes that it may become illegal;
• there is an emergency which affects our ability to provide the Service;
• we reasonably believe that providing the Service may cause death, personal injury or damage to property; or
• we are not able to provide the Service to you due to an event outside our reasonable control (e.g. equipment failure where we do not own or operate the equipment, there is an industrial strike or an act of God). (c) iTalkBB can also suspend, restrict or terminate your Service (at its discretion) by telling you with as much warning as we reasonably can if:
• you become bankrupt or insolvent or appear likely to do so; or
• we reasonably consider that you pose an unacceptably high credit risk to us e.g. a history of multiple late payments, dishonoured payments, failure to pay.
 
If the Service is terminated by iTalkBB under Section 7(b), you will be liable for all Service fees accrued through the date of termination and any unbilled charges.
 
If the Service is terminated by iTalkBB under section 7(a) or 7(c), you will be liable for the Service fees which apply for the full month in which the termination occurs, unbilled charges and Early Termination Fees as set forth below (See Early Termination Fees) and all such charges shall be immediately due and payable.
 
Customer shall be responsible for the full monthly Service fee for the month in which notice of termination is received. Early Termination Fees may apply to termination as set forth below (See Early Termination Fees).
 
 
If you sign up to a contract Plan and give notice to iTalkBB to terminate the Service within the Contract Term after the Activation Date, iTalkBB shall charge an early termination fee to Customer's Credit Card or Bank Account ("Early Termination Fee") pro-rata for the months remaining on your Contract Term up to a maximum of AUD 350. The Early Termination Fee will not apply after the end of the Contract Term.
 
 
The fast transfer process is only available to customers who have an active and existing Broadband connection with a participating ISP.
 
We do not guarantee access to the churn process, and will not be liable if the Broadband transfer application is rejected. If you ask us to proceed with the churn process, you will be liable to pay for all charges associated with the transfer regardless of whether it is successful or rejected. You will still be responsible to your current Broadband supplier for any charges incurred and/or billed up to the date the transfer takes effect.
 
Your Broadband service will remain active with your current Internet provider until the transfer takes place.
 
You understand that it is your responsibility to check the terms of your contract with your current Broadband provider to determine if there will be any consequences under that contract as a result of this transfer, such as an early termination payment.
 
 
Migrating to another iTalkBB plan does not reduce the Contract Term or terminate the original Agreement or result in a reduction of the Service fees payable by you to us under the original Agreement. The new plan subscription and/or Service fees will apply from the date of the migration until the end of the Contract Term.
 
A Change of Plan fee and/or Contract Restart fee may apply if you request to change to another iTalkBB Plan(For more details, you can call 1800 248 255).
 
 
iTalkBB reserves the right to change the Agreement, Service or Plan at any time ("Change"). All Changes will be posted on iTalkBB's website thirty days before the effective date of the Change. If we consider that a Change may have major detrimental impact on you, we will contact you to notify you of the change. For all Changes which are not major detrimental Changes, notice is deemed received by Customer and Changes will be binding on Customer on the effective date of the Change(s) as posted on the website. If you can show that any Change has more than a minor detrimental impact on you, we will let you cancel the contract for the Service by only paying the charges accrued up to the date of termination, any installation fees. In all other cases, if you elect to terminate the Service, you will be liable for all amounts due and an Early Termination Fee, if applicable. Customer may, at any time, request a change of Plan subject to paying the charges associated with such change of Plan. iTalkBB may reduce its fees for Service or Plans without prior notice to Customer. The reduced charges will be automatically applied to your account. In the event that iTalkBB does not make any changes to its fees, you must pay all subscription fees applicable to the plan for which you have registered. Failure to pay subscription or usage charges may result in the suspension or termination of your Service as set out in Section 7.
