Terms & Conditions

Terms for 3 Services - key points

When you purchase a 3 phone or services from Matalan mobile you must agree and comply with our Terms for 3 Services. The following list sets out Terms for 3 Services.

Terms for 3 Services - some key points for both ThreePay and Pay Monthly Customers

• Terms for 3 Services only covers the terms on which you may use our Services. They don't cover your purchase of your Handset.
• Additional terms can also be seen in the Price Guide as well as within our Services on the Handset and in other documents about our Services (eg User Guide and List of Services).
• We'll provide our Services within 3's network area but it's always possible that the quality or coverage may be affected at times.
• You must not use our Services for any illegal or improper purposes. Anyone under 18 isn't permitted to access our Age Restricted Services.
• We've limited our liability to you as set out in Section 12 of the Terms for 3 Services.
• You agree that we can process "Your Information" which we collect or which you submit to us during any sales or registration process, for a number of purposes, including to open and manage an account for 3 Services, to deliver products and services ordered by you, for credit checking (if a Pay Monthly Customer) and fraud prevention, and for product analysis and direct marketing (subject to your preferences) as set out in our 'Privacy Notice' in Section 13 of the Terms for 3 Services. Please read Section 13 carefully.

Terms for 3 Services - some key points for Pay Monthly Customers only

• If you don't pay your account on time or we reasonably believe that you haven't complied with certain terms of your agreement, we may suspend or disconnect our 3 Services, but you still must pay all outstanding charges (including a Cancellation Fee for disconnection).

Terms for 3 Services - some key points for ThreePay Customers only

• If you wish to use the 3 Services, you need to top-up your account by purchasing and activating Threepay Vouchers. ThreePay Vouchers (and Add-ons) have limited validity periods. For example, ThreePay Vouchers are valid for 30 days from activation, so if you do not use them within 30 days, you will forfeit any remaining credit or allowance on them (more details of validity periods and usage requirements relating to ThreePay Vouchers can be found in our Price Guide and other customer documentation). ThreePay Vouchers (whether they are an Active ThreePay Voucher or not) and Add-ons on your account are not redeemable for cash.
• We may suspend or disconnect our Services if we reasonably believe that you haven't complied with certain terms of your agreement. We may also suspend our Services or disconnect you if you have not activated a ThreePay Voucher on your account for a certain length of time.

TERMS FOR 3 SERVICES

General Terms (for both Pay Monthly and ThreePay Customers)

1. Who's who and what's what

1.1 When we say:

1. 'we', 'us' or 'our', we mean Hutchison 3G UK Limited, trading as '3';
2. 'you' or 'your', we mean you, our customer (whether you are a Pay Monthly Customer or ThreePay Customer);
3. 'agreement', we mean your agreement with us for the supply of 3 Services.

1.2 We also have set out in the glossary at the back of this section some useful definitions of words we use in these Terms for 3 Services.

2. About your agreement

2.1 Your agreement is made up of these Terms for 3 Services and your Price Plan, along with any other terms laid down in selected Additional 3 Services on the Handset. Additional terms may apply to any promotional or special offers.

2.2 Your agreement is personal to you. You have to do what you've contracted to do, unless we write and say you can do something outside the agreement. Unless we give you permission (acting reasonably), you can't pass your rights or responsibilities to anyone else - even if we give you more than one SIM or you give your Handset to others. It's your responsibility to make sure the SIMs are only used to access 3 Services as permitted in this agreement.

2.3 This agreement does not cover:

1. any products or Services you buy while using 3 Services; or
2. the supply of your Handset. The manufacturers of Handsets are not related to us. Any terms relating to Handsets will be given to you separately.

3. When your agreement begins

Pay Monthly Customers

3.1 If you are a Pay Monthly Customer, your agreement starts when we Connect you to 3. (Note that in the special case where you do not Connect to 3 within a month of registering as a 3 customer and receiving your Handset, your agreement will automatically start at the end of that month.)

3.2 (a) If you are a Pay Monthly Customer and your Price Plan has a Minimum Term, you agree to remain Connected to 3 for that Minimum Term. You have limited rights to end the agreement during the Minimum Term as set out in Section 10.
(b) If you are a Pay Monthly Customer and your Price Plan does not have a Minimum Term, or your Minimum Term has expired, we will supply you with 3 Services until either of us chooses to end the agreement in any of the permitted ways set out in Section 10.

ThreePay Customers

3.3 If you are a ThreePay Customer, your agreement starts when we Connect you to 3. (Note that in the special case where you do not Connect to 3 within a month of receiving your Handset, your agreement will automatically start at the end of that month.)

3.4 Subject to you having an Active ThreePay Voucher on your account, we will supply you with 3 Services until either of us chooses to end the agreement in any of the permitted ways set out in Section 10.

3.5 If you chose not to register your Handset in store, your first call from your Handset may be redirected to 3 Customer Services so that we can activate your SIM (so your Handset is working properly) and to give you the opportunity to register your personal details with us so that we can do more for you in the future and help you get the most from your Handset.

4. Variations to your agreement or prices

Pay Monthly Customers

4.1 We may vary any of the terms of your agreement, including our Price Plans, on the following basis:

1. any updated Price Plans and new terms will be available on our website and on request to 3 Customer Services;
2. if you are a Pay Monthly Customer, we will let you know at least one month in advance if we decide to:
3. discontinue your Price Plan; or
4. make any variations to your agreement which are likely to be of detriment to you; or
5. increase the fixed periodic charges for your Price Plan (if applicable) by an amount which is more than the percentage
6. increase in the Retail Prices Index Figure (or any future equivalent) in any twelve month period.
7. You can end the agreement for such variations as explained in Section 10. Subject to the above, you will not be able to end the agreement. If such variation or increase:
8. is due to changes to the law, government regulation or licence which affect us; or
9. relates solely to Additional Services; or
10. relates solely to Add-on(s) (if applicable to you). In such circumstances you will not be able to end your agreement but you will be able to cancel the Add-on(s) by giving us 30 days' written notice; and
11. if you carry on using 3 Services after the variation commences, you will be deemed to have accepted the variation.

4.2 If we offer a range of Price Plans, you may change from your Price Plan to one of a selected range of other Price Plans on such terms as agreed with us.
ThreePay Customers

4.3 We may vary any of the terms of your agreement, including our Price Plans, on the following basis:

1. any updated Price Plans and new terms will be available on our website and on request to 3 Customer Services;
2. we will let you know at least one month in advance if we make any variations to your agreement which are likely to be of detriment to you. You are free to stop using 3 Services if we make such variations; and
3. if you carry on using 3 Services after the variation commences, you will be deemed to have accepted the variation.

5. What we will provide for you

A 3 phone number and SIM

5.1 We will open an account for you and provide you with a SIM and a 3 phone number (and we may agree to provide you with additional SIMs and phone numbers on your request).

5.2 We own each SIM and each SIM remains our property at all times. You are being allowed to use the SIM by us on a limited licence to enable you to access 3 Services, in accordance with the terms of this agreement. We may recall the SIM(s) at any time for upgrades, modifications, misuse or when your agreement ends. You can only use our SIM to obtain Services from us.

5.3 Each SIM may only be used in Handsets which are enabled for 3 Services and are authorised by us for Connection to the 3 network. Any attempt to use the SIM in other Handsets may result in serious damage to the Handset and may prevent you from being able to use it, including the making of emergency calls. In these instances, we are not responsible for any such damage or usage problems.

5.4 Handsets which can be used to access 3 Services are locked to our network. The software in the Handset and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned by the Handset manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the Handset manufacturer. During the term of your Agreement for the supply of 3 Services, you must not permit your Handset to be unlocked via any unauthorised manner (ie. by anyone other than us or the Handset manufacturer). You must contact us if you want your Handset to be unlocked from our network. If you contact us to request that your Handset be unlocked from our network, we will arrange for your Handset to be unlocked in an authorised manner (which may include replacing your Handset with an unlocked Handset, which is the same or similar specification to your Handset) and you must pay an unlocking administration charge (which will be shown in the Price Guide for 3 Services). In addition, if you have had your Handset for less than 12 months, you will also have to pay the Handset Unlock Fee (this is also shown in the Price Guide for 3 Services). In addition, you must ensure that there are no outstanding amounts owing on your 3 account. Prior to us arranging for your Handset to be unlocked, you must ensure that you back-up or otherwise store separately any of your information or other data on the Handset which you may require, as this may be lost during the Handset unlocking process. We are not responsible for any information or any other data which may be lost during the Handset unlocking process.

3 Services

5.5 Once you are Connected to 3 (and, if you are a ThreePay Customer, subject to you having and Active ThreePay Voucher on your account), we will provide you with access to our Services. The 3 Services will include Premium Services, provided you ask for them and we approve, and may also include Age Restricted Services, provided you are 18 or over and you do not show or send any content from the Age Restricted Services to anyone under 18. You can find more details of all 3 Services in our List of Services.

5.6 You will also be able to upload and send your own content using the 3 Services. You grant us a royalty free, perpetual and worldwide licence to store, transmit or otherwise deal with any content you upload on the 3 Services. If you choose to use the POP3 polling features in our Messaging Services, you are appointing us as your agent for enabling the POP3 polling Services to be provided to you.

5.7 We may:

1. change or withdraw some, or part, of the 3 Services from time to time. This may be because of changing technologies, obsolescence, new or different product features, changing content providers or the need to remove, replace or modify content. Subject to Section 4.1 (if you are a Pay Monthly Customer) and Section 4.3 (if you are a ThreePay Customer), you can end the agreement if this variation is likely to be of detriment to you as explained in Section 10.
2. also determine how 3 Services are presented and delivered to the Handset or are otherwise made available to you. We can change the way they are presented, delivered or otherwise made available to you at any time.

Limitation of 3 Services

5.8 We will always try to make 3 Services available to you. However, 3 Services are only available within 3's coverage area (which comprises a video service area and a voice & picture area within the UK). Within this, there may be areas where you do not have access to all 3 Services or where coverage is otherwise limited or unavailable. For more information about coverage, visit our website.

Disruption to 3 Services

5.9 There may be situations when 3 Services are not continuously available or the quality is affected and so we cannot guarantee continuous fault-free service.
For instance:

1. when we need to perform upgrading, maintenance or other work on the 3 network or 3 Services;
2. when you move outside 3's video service area whilst you are on a call (in this case calls may not be maintained);
3. when you are in areas not covered by the 3 network. In these cases 3 Services relies on other operators' networks where we have no control; and
4. because of other factors outside our control, such as the features or functionality of your Handset, regulatory requirements, lack of capacity, interruptions to Services from other suppliers, faults in other communication networks, the weather or radio interference caused by hills, tunnels or other physical obstructions

6. What you will do in return

Secure your PIN, Passwords and SIM

6.1 As we own the SIM and it remains our property at all times, you must ensure that you keep the SIM safe and secure whilst it is in your possession and you must ensure that you are able to return it to us, if required to do so by us at any time, as set out in these terms. There will be a charge for any replacement SIM (as set out in the Price Guide), unless, of course, it is defective through faulty design or workmanship.

6.2 You must keep all PINs and passwords secure and confidential.

6.3 You should immediately change your PIN or password if you become aware that someone is accessing 3 Services on your account without your permission.

Responsible use of 3 Services

6.4 You may only use 3 Services:

1. as laid out in this agreement (including the User Guide); and
2. for your own personal use. This means you must not resell or commercially exploit any of the 3 Services or content.

6.5 You must not use 3 Services, the SIM or 3 phone number or allow anyone else to use 3 Services, the SIM or 3 phone number for illegal or improper uses. For example:

1. for fraudulent, criminal or other illegal activity;
2. in any way which breaches another person's rights, including copyright or other intellectual property rights;
3. to copy, store, modify, publish or distribute 3 Services or their content (including ringtones), except where we give you permission;
4. to download, send or upload content of an excessive size, quantity or frequency. We will contact you if your use is excessive;
5. in any way which breaches any security or other safeguards of in any other way which harms or interferes with the 3 network, the networks or systems of others or 3 Services;
6. to falsify or delete any author attributions, legal or other proper notices or proprietary designation or labels of the origin or source of software or other content contained in a file that you upload; and
7. to use or provide to others any directory or details about 3 customers.

6.6 You must always co-operate with us and follow our reasonable instructions to ensure the proper use and security of your 3 Services and account. You must only use Handsets and Accessories authorised by us for Connection to the 3 network and also comply with all relevant legislation relating to their use.

6.7 We may publish an acceptable use policy (including a DataCard Usage Policy for DataCard customers) which provides more detail about the rules for use of certain 3 Services in order to ensure that use of 3 Services is not excessive, to combat fraud and where 3 Services we may introduce require certain rules to ensure they can be enjoyed by our customers. If we publish a policy, we will let you know - such a policy may be amended from time to time - for instance, if we discover that the 3 services are being used fraudulently or for fraudulent purposes, or the excessive use of certain 3 Services is causing problems for 3, its systems or for other users or if we introduce new services which may require certain rules to ensure that such new services can be enjoyed by our customers, again, we will let you know if this happens.

Responsible use of Messaging and Storage Services

6.8 While using the Messaging Services, you must not send or upload:

1. anything that is copyright protected, unless you have permission;
2. unsolicited bulk or commercial communications or other unauthorised communications, or knowingly send any viruses; or
3. anything that is obscene, offensive, abusive, defamatory, menacing, harassing, threatening or is unlawful in any other way.

6.9 We may put limits on the use of certain 3 Services, such as Messaging Services or Storage Services. For example, we may limit the size of messages or storage space.

6.10 While we have no obligation to monitor the Messaging Services or Storage Services, if you exceed our use limits set out in our fair use policy, (which is published as part of our Price Guide and is available on our website or from 3 Customer Services) or we are made aware of any issues with your use of these 3 Services, (for example, if we are made aware that you are using 3 Services in any of the ways prohibited in Section 6.8 above) we reserve the right to remove or refuse to send or store content on your behalf.

Responsible use of Age Restricted Services

6.11 if you are under 18, you are not permitted to access our Age Restricted Services (if any). If you are 18 or over and you access the Age Restricted Services, you must not show or send content from the Age Restricted Services to anyone under 18. You must also ensure that you have deactivated any access to Age Restricted Services if you let anyone under 18 use your Handset.

Responsible use of 3 Services outside the UK

6.12 If you use 3 Services from a country outside the UK, your use of the 3 Services may be subject to laws and regulations that apply in that other country. We are not liable for your failure to comply with those laws or regulations.

Paying your Bills - Pay Monthly Customers

6.13 If you are a Pay Monthly Customer, you must pay us all Charges for all 3 Services which are accessed using the SIM(s) we supply you, whether the 3 Services are accessed by you or by another person, with or without your permission. If any of the SIMs are lost or stolen (either separately or with any of your Handsets), you remain responsible for all the Charges to your account until you tell us what happened and arrange for your SIM(s) to be deactivated.

6.14 We will send you a bill on a periodic basis and this will usually be done monthly. However, we reserve the right to change this period (and we would give you at least 14 days' notice of this).

6.15 Your bill will normally include your fixed Charges for the next period and any administration fees along with Charges for your use of the 3 Services in the UK in the last period and outside the UK in prior periods. It may also include an amount to repay the cost of your 3-compatible Handset (depending on the payment scheme you have chosen). Your initial bill may also contain a Connection Charge. VAT will be added to your bill where appropriate.

6.16 You must make your payment by the due date and by one of the payment methods stated on your bill. However, we may also submit an interim bill or require an immediate payment if we think you have exceeded a reasonable limit on your account.

6.17 As described in Section 6.14 above, we will send you a bill on a periodic basis, which will usually be monthly. The bill will state the amount of the Charges due from you and the due date by which you must make payment. If you fail to pay your account on time, you will be breaking your agreement and we may Suspend or Disconnect you. In this case, you will have to pay any outstanding Charges. We may also set a credit limit for you if you fail to pay your account on time - we will let you know what the credit limit on your account is and, if you exceed the limit we set, we may Suspend any or all of the 3 Services you use. You should not use the credit limit for budgeting as the amount you owe is not capped or limited by any credit limit we set.

6.18 We may need to take legal or other collection action against you for non-payment of Charges. This could mean you have to pay our costs and expenses, including legal costs, with interest added daily.

6.19 If you use your Handset to buy goods and services from third parties, you are responsible for paying any bill they may send you.

Paying your Charges - ThreePay Customers

6.20 If you are a ThreePay Customer, you are responsible for all Charges for 3 Services which are accessed using the SIM(s) we give you, whether the 3 Services are accessed by you or by another person, with or without your permission. If any of your SIMs are lost or stolen (either separately or with any of your Handsets), you remain responsible for all the Charges to your account and we have no obligation to make a refund to you of any credit or allowance on any ThreePay Voucher (whether it is an Active ThreePay Voucher or not) or any Add-ons which are used following the loss or theft.

6.21 Your credit or allowances contained in any ThreePay Voucher or Add-on (as applicable) will be reduced each time you use or incur Charges for 3 Services. If for any reason your account balance drops below zero, you will not be able to access 3 Services and you will need to purchase and activate a ThreePay Voucher on Add-on or otherwise make a payment to us to clear the negative balance on your account. You may only use ThreePay Vouchers and Add-ons to obtain credit or allowances for access to 3 Services. ThreePay Vouchers, Add-ons and any credit or allowance on your account are not redeemable for cash under any circumstances.

6.22 ThreePay Vouchers and Add-ons must be activated on your account before the expiry date specified on the ThreePay Voucher or Add-on (or where there is no expiry date specified, they will be valid for 90 days from the date of purchase (whichever is earlier).

6.23 Top-ups to your account via a ThreePay Voucher or Add-on (including any complimentary credit or allowances provided on Connection to the 3 Services) are valid for 30 days from the date of activation (unless otherwise specified). Any unused credit or allowances remaining at the end of these 30 days will be forfeited.

6.24 If you use your Handset to buy goods and Services from third parties, you are responsible for paying any bills they may send you.

6.25 We will place a charge on your account if a bank fails to honour a debit or credit card payment for your purchase of a ThreePay Voucher or Add-on or other payment to your account.
