Mobile Terms and Conditions

These terms (Mobile Terms) apply if we provide Mobile Services to you, in addition to Entity's standard Terms and Conditions (Standard Terms), which also apply to the Mobile Services provided by Entity. To the extent of any inconsistency between these Mobile Terms and the standard Entity Terms and Conditions, these Mobile Terms will prevail.

  1. MOBILE SERVICES
    1. We provide Mobile Services via upstream providers as a mobile reseller;
    2. The Mobile Services allow your users to make and receive local, national and international calls and text messages and consume mobile data (when within our mobile network coverage area) using a Mobile Device. Your users must use an Entity-provided SIM card to connect and use the Mobile Services;
    3. We endeavour to provide quality Mobile Services, but due to the nature of mobile telecommunications networks, at times our ability to do so will be affected by factors outside of our control including, but not limited to, geographic conditions and physical obstructions, weather conditions, the number of people trying to use the Network at the same time or faults in our Network or other networks used by us to provide the Mobile Services. We cannot guarantee continuous or fault-free Mobile Services;

      2. follow any instructions or directions from us for changing the settings on their Mobile Device in order to be on the relevant APN provided by us.
    11. We reserve the right to suspend Mobile Services in whole or in part (including stopping data usage) to any user who does not move to the relevant APN provided by us in accordance with clause 1.10.

This includes when your Mobile Device or SIM has been lost or stolen, and prior to us activating a block on your Mobile Device or SIM;
    15. You must ensure that each Mobile Device and SIM is kept secure at all times. We recommend that you use a PIN and other access code features provided with a Mobile Device and SIM to ensure that only your users are able to access and use the Mobile Services. You must keep all such PINs and access codes confidential at all times. We may assume that any request or instruction it receives is authorised by you if it is made from your Mobile Device;
    16. If a PIN is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM will automatically block and it will not be possible to use it unless it is unblocked. To unblock the SIM the user will need a PUK1 Code, which they can obtain from the SIM packaging or by contacting Entity Support. If an end-user continues to block a SIM by incorrectly entering the PUK1 Code the SIM will be rendered useless after 10 attempts and the user will lose names, numbers and other information stored on it. A new SIM will be required if the user wishes to continue using Mobile Services;
    17. You must inform us immediately if any Mobile Device or SIM is lost, stolen or damaged. You will remain liable for all Charges incurred in relation to the use of a Mobile Device or the SIM up to the time you inform us that the Mobile Device or SIM is lost or stolen, whether the Charges have been incurred by you or someone else. If a Mobile Device is lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, a new Mobile Device and/or SIM will be required for that user to continue using the Mobile Services;
    18. You must comply with the End User Terms set out in Appendix 1 (End User Terms) and must procure that each of your users agrees to the End User Terms before being connected and complies with the End User Terms throughout the term of your agreement;

    20. If a Regulatory Event occurs, we may vary any of the Mobile Services or the Charges or any other provision of these Mobile Terms to the extent that we deem it appropriate, terminate our agreement with you, or cease providing the Mobile Services. We will give you such notice of the Regulatory Event and any variation, termination or withdrawal of service as is reasonably practical in the circumstances and where possible at least 30 days’ notice.
  4. MOBILE DATA
    1. Some plans, packs and extras have a slow data component. This means that each user will have a certain amount of max speed data as specified in each user’s plan (for example, 5GB). This is each user’s maximum speed data allowance. Once each user has used all their max speed data allowance, they may have slow data for the rest of their service period, but speeds will be limited per the plan's definition. This may vary from plan to plan and will impact the user's experience. Each user will still be able to use data as before but may experience some degradation (such as lower video resolution) when watching video, streaming or loading images.
  5. FAIR USE
    1. You must use the Mobile Services fairly. This means you agree to use them in a way that is not overly excessive or unreasonable. This policy is based on how most people use the service and helps us make sure everyone using it gets to enjoy it. If we, acting reasonably and in good faith, believe your use is excessive and unreasonable, we might need to restrict the service or stop providing it to you;
    2. Unlimited talk and text is for standard person-to-person calls and texts to standard NZ numbers. Premium and special numbers are excluded. Unlimited talk and text cannot be used for multiple simultaneous calling, re-supply, call centre usage, telemarketing, bulk messaging, application-to-person communication, continuously call forwarding, auto-dialling, machine to machine communication (including by using the SIM card in any other device), Cellular Trunking Units (CTUs), or any other activity that we consider to be non-standard personal usage.
