1. The Service
This agreement covers the supply by Telecoms Bridgend Ltd (TelBridge) of telecommunication services with a separate agreement relating to broadband supply. We may vary these Terms and Conditions at any time and our discretion, but not without giving 30 days written notice.

2. Duration of Contract
The minimum term will be detailed on the contact signed and will be confirmed in the confirmation letter, with 30 days written notice required to end the contract. A contract may be cancelled by the customer if TelBridge break a term of this agreement and, after written notice, fail to rectify within 10 working days. Either party may immediately end this agreement without notice if the other stops trading, enters administration, becomes insolvent or wound up. TelBridge may end this agreement without giving notice should a customer break any obligation as detailed in clauses 4 and 5. On termination of this agreement, the customer will:

• immediately pay any outstanding invoices
  
• be responsible for any engineering costs required to use an alternative provider
• pay the monthly line rental charges in advance up to the end of the contract period or a minimum disconnection charge of £149 + VAT should the contract be terminated early.

3. Costs
All charges made are specified in our published price lists and charges are calculated from data received by us, not from customer records. If a direct debit is unpaid because of insufficient funds or cancellation, a £10 + VAT administration charge will be included on the next monthly bill. A £7 + VAT charge may be issued for restricting outbound calls due to late payment of an invoice. A charge of £20 + VAT will be added to the next monthly bill in the case of reinstating suspended services due to continued non-payment of an invoice.

If, during the first 12 months of this agreement, we increase our charges to an extent greater than the Retail Price Index of the relevant period, a customer may end this agreement without paying a disconnection fee.

Line rental, service charges and call bundle costs will be billed one month in advance.

TelBridge will charge £129.99 to reinstate lines that have been ceased due to non payment.

Calls will be charged and inclusive allowances deducted in one minute increments (with any part minutes rounded up to the nearest minute). Individual charges will then be rounded up to the nearest half penny and your total call charges rounded up to the nearest whole penny. In addition, and not withstanding the preceding sentence, there is a per call connection charge and the details of these call connection charges appear in our price list which is available on our website.

4. Payment Terms

• All customers must pay by Direct Debit. TelBridge refuse the right to refuse customers not wishing to pay by Direct Debit. Arrears and / or unwillingness to maintain payment by Direct Debit may result in your lines being restricted. An administration fee will be charged for payments tendered by means other than Direct Debit.
  
• Cancellation of the Direct Debit does not constitute cancellation of the contract.
  
• If there is a failure to pay any sum due, TelBridge reserve the right to charge interest on the amount due at the rate of four percent (4%) above the HSBC Bank plc base rate ruling from time to time and calculated from the due date until collection.

• TelBridge may, at its sole discretion and at any time, impose a credit limit on a customer's account. Any credit limit imposed can be amended without prior notice. If a customer exceeds any such credit limit, TelBridge may demand immediate payment of the Charges and / or suspend the Service and the customer will still be responsible for all Charges incurred including those exceeding the credit limit.
