The main points of our agreement.
Full conditions are below.
Please read them. Here is a summary of the main conditions.
1 The SIM card has been issued for the minimum period set out on the
agreement form. You may have to pay us a cancellation charge if you cancel a
SIM card within that time. After your minimum period has ended you can cancel
without having to pay a cancellation
charge.
2 You can phone us and end your
agreement or cancel a SIM card at any time. Please be
aware that a cancellation charge may apply (see above). Your agreement will
terminate one calendar month from our receipt of your notice. You are free to
restore your agreement throughout the notice period.
3 You may pay for some services in arrears
and other services in advance. We may use
credit balances from your pre pay account to offset against amounts you owe us
if your
monthly account in put into suspension for late payment.
4 We will issue you with a bill each
month for those services you pay in arrears; please pay it by the date set out
on it to ensure continued service.
5 If either your phone or SIM card are
lost or stolen, please call Customer Services at once. You will have to pay for
any calls made before you told us.
6 We will try to provide a high-quality
phone service to you at all times. However, because T-Mobile is using radio
technology, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide service.
Service can be affected by factors outside our control for example, buildings,
tunnels, hills or faults in other networks.
7 We will write to you and tell you of
any increase in our charges 30 days before it happens. In most cases we will
write to you and tell you of a change in our conditions 30 days before it
happens. We can change your payment terms if we think we have to.
8 We can set and change credit limits
for charges. If you go over your credit limit, your
service may be interrupted.
9 If you replace a phone under our
upgrade scheme then you will enter into a new minimum term on your existing SIM
card. 10 We can at any time ask you for a deposit (or an extra deposit) as
security for charges.

Charges from You.
2.3. We will connect you to the Services as soon as we can.
2.4. At the end of the Minimum Term this Agreement will continue until
terminated.

nominated SIM Card. Once that Minimum Term is over this Agreement will continue

Upgrade or Renewal.

access to the Services if your limit is exceeded. Charges are not capped by any
limit we set as some Charges, for example international and roaming call

incurred could therefore exceed your credit limit before Your Account is

reason, for instance, if we want all customers on the same conditions. We will

this. The new terms and conditions will automatically apply to you once any
notice period that we are able to give you has run out.

following means that you will have broken an important condition of this

network of any third party, you agree that you may not be able to access the
Network but may instead be connected to the network of one of Our Roaming

those calls will not come out of Your Allowance (unless the "What It
Costs" for your Price Plan states otherwise).

Kingdom mobile number will exclude calls to the numbers or customers of networks
which are not a United Kingdom national cellular mobile operator network.

you to access networks in foreign countries so that you can use the Services
whilst Roaming. We can't guarantee the quality and coverage that any foreign
network may provide. Additional Charges for Roaming are set out in Our
"What It Costs (Non Standard Charges)" booklet. You may have to ask us
to set up Your Account for Roaming. We may credit check you and may only agree

any VAT.
4.3. You may pay Charges in two different ways. You will pay for certain
Services as a Monthly Account and you may pay for other Services as a Pay As
You Go
Account.
4.4. Monthly Account

a bill available to you every month by post or electronic means. The Monthly
Charge is for the month to come. Additional Services may be charged in arrears

earlier time if not previously charged for.

If You don't pay a bill by the date set out on it You will have broken an
important condition of this Agreement which entitles Us to terminate this
Agreement immediately in accordance with point 7.3.1.1 except where:
4.4.2.1. You have a genuine dispute with us; and
4.4.2.2. Before the date by which Your bill must be paid, You have written (see
point 9.7) to Us setting out the details of Your dispute, including the amount
of Your claim against Us and the amount You intend to withhold as disputed. If
the amount you intend to withhold is less than the total amount you owe us then
you must pay the difference by the date set out on the bill. If you don't, then
we can terminate this Agreement immediately.
4.4.3. Our rights set out in here are in addition to any other legal rights we
may have against you.
4.5. Pay As You Go Account
4.5.1. We may allow you to pay for some Services in advance on a pay as you go
basis. When you top up with pay as you go credit, we will apply credits to Your
Pay As You Go Account, and deduct Charges from that credit for those Services
You pay for using this Account. We will deduct Charges from that credit at Your
Price Plan Charges rate but in accordance with these Pay As You Go Account
conditions.
4.5.2. We reserve the right to use credit balances from Your Pay As You Go
Account to offset any amount you may owe us for Services You pay in arrears.
Pay as you go balances will only be applied against Your Monthly Account where
Your Monthly Account is put into suspension for non payment, or in accordance
with point 4.8.
4.5.3. As Charges are incurred they will be deducted from amounts credited
against Your Pay As You Go Account. Charges are deducted at the time a call is
made. If you have selected Additional Services with a periodic service Charge,
the Charge will be deducted at the time(s) and for the period(s) set out in Our
"What It Costs (Non Standard Charges)" booklet. You are responsible
for all Charges correctly deducted in accordance with this point.
4.5.4. If you have selected Additional Services with a daily, weekly or monthly
Charge, the Charge will be deducted at the time and for the period set out in
Our
"What It Costs (Non Standard Charges)" booklet. If at the time we
attempt to deduct daily, weekly or monthly Charges from Your Pay As You Go
Account, You do not have enough credit on Your Pay As You Go Account:
4.5.4.1. You will not be able to make any outbound calls (except to emergency
services and to Us), send or receive any Additional Services or receive any
reverse
billed Services on that day unless You have any remaining Allowance which You
can use to access those Services; and
4.5.4.2. You will not be able to make or receive calls whilst roaming. If,
later that day, you top up Your Pay As You Go Account with sufficient credit, we
will deduct the Charge for the Additional Service and reinstate Your Service.
4.5.5. When all credits on Your Pay As You Go Account have been used You will
not be able to make further use of those Services which You have chosen to pay
for as you go until a further sufficient credit is made to Your Pay As You Go
Account. You will still be able to use those Services for which unused
Allowances apply. You will also be able to make calls to the emergency services
and to us whilst Your SIM Card is connected to the Network. You may still
receive calls and text messages (except for any reverse billed Services) whilst
Your SIM Card is connected to the Network.
4.5.6. You must also have sufficient credit on Your Pay As You Go Account to
enable You to make a call of one minute's duration, to send (or receive) the
Service in question or to send or receive a minimum of 2MB of data. Minimum
balances reserved for the first Service activated will not be available for any
subsequently
activated yet concurrently used Service. Services used simultaneously will be
charged for simultaneously. We will not pay interest on top up credit held on
Your
Pay As You Go Account.
4.5.7. We will not refund pay as you go credit in any circumstances except as
set out in point 7.2.6 below.
4.6. You are responsible for all Charges applied to Your Account, except
Charges applied after you called customer services to advise that Your SIM Card
has been lost or stolen (see point 2.9.1).
4.7. We can change Payment Terms for any good reason, for instance, if you do
not pay a bill by the date set out on it. We may not be able to tell you before
we do.
4.8. You shall be required to pay a deposit (or an extra deposit) as security
for the Charges if we have a good reason to require it, for example, if we
raise your credit limit. We can keep the deposit until the Agreement ends. We
will return it when you pay us everything you owe. We will not pay interest on
deposits. We can use your deposit to pay what you owe except where you have
followed the process for disputed Charges outlined at point 4.4.2 above. If you
don't pay the undisputed amount by the date of your bill or tell us not to use
any deposit to pay the disputed amount, then we will use any deposit and/or any
pay as you go credit balance to pay the disputed sum.
4.9. Charges for Services You have used may be applied against Your applicable
Allowance(s) on the date that We process them, which may be later than the date
that You used those Services and may be applied against Your next periodic
Allowance.
4.10. We may use credit reference agencies to help us make credit decisions or
for fraud protection. You agree that we may register information about you and
the conduct of Your Account with any credit reference agency. For the purpose
of fraud prevention and credit management, information about you and the
conduct of Your Account may be disclosed to financial institutions and other
phone companies. Such information may also be passed to debt collection
agencies for debt collection purposes.
4.11. You may be able to use the Service to buy goods and/or services from
third parties. You may be able to pay for that through Your Monthly Account or
a Pay As You Go Account. It is your decision whether or not to enter into a
legal relationship with that third party, who you may not have heard of or
bought from before. If you do buy from a third party using the Service, unless we
say otherwise, you will have a direct relationship with that third party even
if you pay for the goods and/or services with Your Account. As we will not be a
party to that agreement between you and that third party, we won't be in any
way responsible for any loss or damage you may suffer because of your contract
with that third party.

may suspend or disconnect the Services

6.3. We can charge to reconnect You to the Services
except where something in point

reconnection.
6.4. The rights that We have under this point 6 are in addition to the other

7.1.2. We can suspend, change, increase the price of or withdraw part or all of
the Additional Services on giving active users of the Additional Service a
reasonable period of Written Notice. The change will then apply to You once that notice has run out.
7.1.3. We can suspend, change or withdraw Your Price Plan or Price Plan
Services. We will give You Written Notice one calendar month before We do so. The change will then apply to You
once that notice has run out.
7.1.4. We can increase any Price Plan Charge. We will give You Written Notice
one calendar month before We do so. The change will
then apply to You once that notice has run out.
7.2. Your termination rights
7.2.1. You can give Us notice to terminate this
Agreement at any time by calling customer services. Your Agreement will
terminate one calendar month from when We receive Your
call. You must pay Us everything You owe Us if You
terminate this Agreement, including any cancellation charge as described below.

Price Plan Charges up to and including the date that this Agreement terminates.
7.2.3. You are free to change Your mind and call Us

period.
7.2.4. Apart from as described in points 7.2.5 and 7.3.2 below, if You are terminating whilst You are within Your Minimum Term,
a cancellation charge will apply. We calculate a cancellation charge by firstly
adding together all remaining Monthly Charges (or other periodic Charges, plus
any other Charges stated in the terms and conditions for any Service) for the
remainder of the Minimum Term. We then take off 4% of that figure to get the
final charge.
7.2.5. A cancellation charge won't apply if You are within Your Minimum Term
and:
7.2.5.1. Our entitlement to operate the Network ends at any time; or
7.2.5.2. You are a Consumer and the change that We
gave You Written Notice of in point 2.11.2 or 7.1.4 above is of material
detriment to You and You give Us notice to immediately cancel this Agreement
before the change takes effect; or
7.2.5.3. The change that We gave You Written Notice of in point 7.1.4 is an
increase in Your Price Plan Charge (as a percentage) higher than any increase
in the Retail Price Index (also calculated as a percentage) for the 12 months
before the month in which We send You Written Notice and You give Us notice to
immediately cancel this Agreement before the change takes effect.
7.2.6. If You are terminating this Agreement and a
cancellation charge doesn't apply because the circumstances outlined in clause
7.2.5 have occurred, You can then ask for a refund of any unused Pay As You Go
Account balance that You may have.
7.3. Our immediate termination rights
7.3.1. We can terminate this Agreement immediately and You must pay Us
everything that You owe (including any cancellation charge as described in
point 7.2.4 above) if any of the following happen:
7.3.1.1. You break an important condition of this Agreement or a number of less
important conditions;
7.3.1.2. You break a less important condition of this Agreement and do not put
it right within 7 days of Us asking You to;
7.3.1.3. You are unable to pay Your debts (within the meaning of section 123 of
the Insolvency Act 1986); You make, or offer to make, an arrangement with Your
creditors; You commit an act of bankruptcy; someone brings a petition,
receiving order or administration order against You to make You bankrupt; You
are a limited company and a resolution to wind You up is passed or a receiver
or administrator is appointed over all or part of Your assets (otherwise than
for a solvent reconstruction or amalgamation). We can also terminate this
Agreement if We think any of these things or something
similar may happen; or
7.3.1.4. Any information You give to Us is not true at
the time You give it.

to run the Network is ended. However, You won't have
to pay a cancellation charge as described in point 7.2.4 above.

applies to You:
8.1. What's on the Portal We will try to maintain Content on the Portal which
is within Our control, but We can't promise that it
will always be complete, accurate and up to date. We aren't responsible to You or any third party for any action You take because You
relied on what We said or how We provided Content on the Portal.
8.2. Changes to what You see on the Portal We will try
to give You Written Notice (as described in point 7.1.2 above) a reasonable
period before changing an Additional Service which is Content. However, We may have to change, suspend, withdraw or increase the
price of Content without giving You any warning. The new nature of the Content
will be clear before You buy the Content following any
change and if You then purchase the Content following the change, We will take
that as acceptance of the new Content.
8.3. Leaving the Portal We may provide links to other third party web sites
which may include links to the web sites of Our
partners. If You follow those links, You will be
leaving the part of the internet or Portal that We or Our partners control.
Because of that, any content or webpage that You

Our Privacy Policy
How We use personal information.
In order that We can supply You with Services, We may share some of the
information We hold about You with other members of the Deutsche Telecom Group
(Our parent company) and other companies which We have a business relationship.
If We have to send Your details to countries without
proper data protection laws, We remain responsible for keeping this information
secure. We will only share them if permitted by law. Until You
object, We will use information You give Us to provide You with information
about goods and services offered by Us and other organisations with which We
have a business relationship. We or they may contact You
by email, telephone or other on-line or interactive media. If You would prefer not to receive such information, simply let
Us know at any time. If You are Our customer, We hold
Your Account information. As You use Your SIM Card,
some records are kept for statistical purposes. This data helps Us understand and serve Our customers better and improve Our
Network. Data relating to the routing, timing or duration of communication may
be kept for up to a year. To ensure security for You
and Our staff and to help maintain service quality, some calls to customer
services are monitored. Your personal details are not held indefinitely, but
are destroyed after a period of time. Some information will be held after You have closed Your Account with Us.
Credit and Fraud Checks
If You apply for credit, We will register and check
Your details with credit reference agencies to help Us make credit decisions
about You. You must be able to disclose information about anyone else with whom
You have a financial link. Your details may be linked
to records relating to one or more of those people. We will also check Your details with fraud prevention agencies. If You give Us false or inaccurate information which leads Us
to suspect fraud We will record this and details will be passed to fraud
prevention agencies. Law enforcement agencies may access and use this
information. We and other organisations may also access and use this
information to prevent fraud and money laundering, for example, when: Checking
details on application for credit and credit related or other facilities;
Managing credit and credit related accounts or facilities; Recovering debt;
Check details on proposals and claims for all types of insurance; and Check
details of job applications and employees. These agencies will also use the
records for statistical analysis about credit, insurance and fraud. We and
other organisations may access and use from other countries the information
recorded by fraud prevention agencies.
Changes to Our privacy policy
If We decide to change Our privacy policy We will
publish the changes on Our website so You are always aware of the way We
collect, use and disclose information.
Access to Your Information
If You want, You can always access Your personal
information (or details of those fraud prevention agencies from whom We obtain
and with whom We record information about You). Just make a written request
clearly identifying Yourself and the information You
require. We'll charge You £10 to cover the cost of
supplying the information. If We hold any inaccurate
information about You We will correct it. Our address is: T-Mobile,
Here's a helpful summary of the terms which We think will be the most important
to You:
1. Minimum Term Your SIM Card has been issued for the Minimum Term agreed with
You. You may have to pay Us a cancellation charge if
You terminate a SIM Card within that time. After Your Minimum Term has ended You can terminate this Agreement without having to pay a
cancellation charge. (See points 2.4 and 7 of these terms and conditions.)
2. Upgrades and Renewals We don't have to provide You
with an Upgrade or Renewal. If You accept an Upgrade
or Renewal offer then a new Minimum Term will apply to Your SIM Card. (See
point 2.6 of these terms and conditions.)
3. Terminating this Agreement You can phone Us and
terminate this Agreement or a SIM Card at any time. Please be aware that a
cancellation charge may apply (see above). Your Agreement will terminate one
calendar month later. (See point 7 of these terms and conditions.)
4. Billing We will make a bill available to You each month for those Services
You pay in arrears; You must pay it by the date set out on it to ensure
continued access to the Service. (See point 4.4 of these terms and conditions.)
5. Lost or Stolen If either Your phone or SIM Card are
lost or stolen, please call customer services at once. You will have to pay for
any Charges that You incur before You told Us. (See
points 2.9.1 and 4.6 of these terms and conditions.)
6. Our Network We will try to provide a high-quality
Network to You at all times. However, We cannot
guarantee that We will always be able to provide Network coverage. (See point 3
of these terms and conditions.)
7. Credit Limits We can set and change credit limits for Charges. If You go over Your credit limit, Your Service may be
suspended. (See point 2.10 of these terms and conditions.)
8. Buying Content You can buy Content from us or You
can buy other content from third parties. If you buy from third parties, that
charge may be added to Your T-Mobile Account but We
won't be part of the agreement between You and that third party for the supply
of that content. Any disputes about content that You
buy from third parties are therefore between You and that third party. (See
point 8 of these terms and conditions.)
9. Changes to the Service and Charges We will give You Written Notice of
changes to Additional Services, Your Price Plan, Price Plan Services and Price
Plan Charges before those changes take place. (See point 7 of these terms and
conditions.)
10. These key facts Remember that this is just a
summary of the important bits of the Agreement between You and Us. It isn't a
substitute for what the main Agreement says, and if there's a clash between
what the main Agreement and these key facts say, then what the Agreement says
is right.
