- USING OURCLOUD’S SERVICES
6.1 The customer agrees that they will not use the Services or permit the Services to be used in any way which:
(a) breaks any laws or infringes anyone’s legal rights;
(b) could interfere with or damage OurCloud’s network, any other operator’s network, or another customer’s enjoyment of OurCloud’s services;

8.5 If the customer makes a claim on any warranty that is held by OurCloud on behalf of the customer, the customer must promptly return the defective Mobile Device to OurCloud with any accessories and all original packaging, together with a copy of the invoice and a written claim specifically identifying the defect(s) to the OurCloud offices at 256 Devon St East, New Plymouth, 4310.
8.6 If any part of the Mobile Device requires repair or replacement because it is lost or damaged and that repair or replacement is not covered by any warranty referred to in clause 8.4 above, or the customer places an order for an additional Mobile Device, then the charges for the repair or replacement and/or additional Mobile Device will be in accordance with OurCloud’s then current standard charges and the customer agrees to pay all such applicable charges.
8.7 The customer acknowledges that OurCloud is not responsible for any loss of data or other information that may occur in the course of or in connection with the repair of any Mobile Device.

(c) as a result
are subject to the fair use policy set out in this clause:
(a) The customer agrees that their use of their internet service must be fair, reasonable, and not excessive, as reasonably determined by OurCloud from time to time by reference to the average of any claim made against OurCloud by a third party as a result of the customer’s use of the internet services, including as a result of material that the customer generates or disseminates by using the internet services.
9.12 All internet services customer profiles and estimated customer usage of the OurCloud data Services.
(b) If the customer’s usage of the internet services materially exceeds estimated use patterns over any day, week or month (or other period of time as determined by OurCloud) or is inconsistent with normal usage patterns, then, in addition to potentially being liable for excess usage charges, the customer’s usage may be excessive or unreasonable.

9.13 Internet speed:
(a) Downstream and upstream speeds are based on a theoretical maximum, and actual speeds will be affected by various factors including NZ and overseas networks, the particular modem and computer technology, internal wiring and other environmental factors. Speeds will vary depending on how many people are on the network at the same time both in the customers premises and in general on the Internet. This is also true for overseas networks when accessing content, such as websites or streaming video.
(b) Content such as web pages and videos are stored on ‘content servers’ so the customer can access them via their internet connection. Content servers within New Zealand and overseas can reduce the rate (bandwidth) at which access to their content available (for instance, when they are very busy), this affects the time it takes to download content and thus the users internet speed.
(c) If connecting via Wi-Fi, the connection can be impacted by environmental factors like other wireless devices in the premises (such as mobile or digital phones) and even a neighbours’ Wi-Fi connection.
(d) The speed capacity of the devices the customer is connecting with may be a limitation, for instance the age of the WiFi adapter. Other hardware and software components can also limit the processing of bandwidth and thus the speed.
(e) The most reliable connection and faster speeds will be achieved by connecting devices directly to the modem via high-speed Ethernet wiring instead of using Wi-Fi. For example, a Cat5e is a high-quality copper cable, designed to deliver Ethernet standard services over short distances at speeds of up to 1Gbps.
9.14 OurCloud may intercept any communications of the customer for the purposes of complying with the Department of Internal Affairs’ Digital Child Exploitation Filtering System, or for the purposes of complying with lawful authority and in continuing to use the OurCloud internet services, the customer consents to this.
- DATA SERVICES
10.1 This clause applies if OurCloud provides data services to the customer.
10.2 Implementation of a data solution will be project managed through to completion. It is expected the customer’s IT department or IT contractor will provide the necessary resources to work with OurCloud during the project in order to ensure a timely and seamless implementation.
10.3 Although initial feasibility results may indicate the data service is available at a particular speed, it is possible that upon physical installation the speed anticipated or quoted may not be available. If this is the case then OurCloud may need to revisit the product and pricing and renegotiate the proposed solution.
10.4 Some data services installations are reliant on existing cabling from a third party telecommunications company’s demarcation point (often in basement or cabling room of building) through to the desired termination/delivery point. If this building cabling does not exist or is not of sufficient quality, the customer may be required to cover the cost of new building cabling to the desired termination/delivery point.
10.5 Data solutions with routers will include a managed router at each site and initial configuration of each router. Additional router configuration required after initial installation will be charged at $150 + GST per hour.
10.6 All Local Area Network configuration and Internet security, including supply of a suitable firewall appliance, is expressly the customer’s responsibility.
10.7 Managed router(s) will be configured and then sent to the customer’s site. Either the customer or the customer’s nominated IT contractor shall plug the router in to the pre-installed, labelled jack point. If the customer does not wish to do this, an onsite installation can be arranged for an additional $150 + GST per site.
10.8 In the unlikely event of a faulty router, the customer shall inform OurCloud immediately and return the faulty router. OurCloud will arrange for a replacement router to be configured and sent out via courier as quickly as is commercially practicable.
10.9 The OurCloud SIP Trunk product has been tested with most leading PBX products. However OurCloud does not guarantee compatibility to any specific product or future software release. It is the responsibility of the PBX vendor to perform compatibility testing. OurCloud will assist where it considers it appropriate with this testing.
10.10 OurCloud takes all reasonable precautions to ensure that the SIP Trunk solution is secure, but as the security of the PBX is beyond their control, OurCloud takes no responsibility if the PBX is compromised and fraudulent calling is generated.
10.11 OurCloud SIP Trunks are not recommended for services such as Eftpos, faxing and alarm monitoring. OurCloud can arrange a separate analogue phone line for these services.
10A. ULTRA-FAST BROADBAND
10A.1 This clause applies if OurCloud provides ultra-fast broadband services to the customer.
10A.2 The customer agrees that in using the ultra-fast broadband service, they will be bound by these terms and the terms of their Local Fibre Company’s End User Terms (which can be found at https://www.crownfibre.govt.nz/crown-partners/). The Local Fibre Company End User Terms relate to, amongst other things, the provision (including installation) and use of that part of the Local Fibre Company’s network which is located on the customer’s premises.
10A.3 The customer must pay for the costs of installation of ultra-fast broadband. On the day that ultra-fast broadband is to be installed, the customer will need to be present to meet with the Local Fibre Company’s technicians who will advise what is required for installation and the costs involved.
10A.4 In order to install the ultra-fast broadband at the customer’s property, land excavation may be required. The extent of restoration will depend on the policy of the Local Fibre Company. Generally, the Local Fibre Company will reinstate like for like, e.g. concrete where concrete has been used, but the Local Fibre Company do not guarantee to match surface finish and reinstatement will be limited to the area where the trench has been dug. The customer will be responsible for any further costs associated with the additional restoration.
10A.5 The following equipment will be installed at the property to allow ultra-fast broadband services to be used:
(a) The External Termination Point, which will remain the property of the Local Fibre Company;
(b) The Optical Network Terminal, which will remain the property of the Local Fibre Company; and
(c) Fibre Enabled Modem or Residential Gateway.
10A.6 If the customer changes to ultra-fast broadband, OurCloud cannot guarantee that the customer will be able to move back to ADSL Broadband. Any change in service may be subject to installation charges and an early termination fee will apply if the customer terminates before completion of the minimum contract period.
10A.7 Initially, the existing copper connection will remain in place for the provision of voice services. The customer agrees that they will migrate to a fibre based service as soon as it is available. At the time it is available, OurCloud will provide the customer with a minimum of 30days’ notice to the commencement of the migration process. A technician will need to visit the customer’s premises to carry out the work, which may require internal access to the customer’s premises. A suitable time will need to be scheduled for the technician to visit the premises. The fibre voice service is reliant on the ONT having power to it and in the event of a power cut, the fibre voice service (and broadband) will no longer work. If the customer is reliant on their phone services for medical or important applications (e.g. emergency services) they should consider whether a fibre based service is appropriate to their needs. OurCloud does not guarantee that the fibre voice service will support all models of low speed analogue device (for example: home alarms, personal medical alarms, low speed modems, sky set top boxes, faxes, low speed modems, eft-pos). It is the customer’s responsibility to contact their relevant service provider to find out whether such services are compatible with fibre. The customer should not sign up for ultra-fast broadband if their provider cannot guarantee compatibility. OurCloud is not liable to the customer in relation to the foregoing.
10A.8 DigiMax UFB Plans are subject to the following;
(a) DigiMax enhanced Restore SLA is based on following: If fault is reported to OurCloud, troubleshooting completed, and fault lodged with fibre supplier by Midday – service restored by 7pm same day, If fault is reported to OurCloud after midday – fault restored by midday the following day.
(b) DigiMax enhanced restore SLA is currently only applicable in Chorus UFB areas: Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Gisborne, Hastings, Palmerston North, Masterton, Blenheim, Timaru, Dunedin, Invercargill.
10B. MOVING ADDRESS
