    1. We provide Mobile Services via the 2degrees Network. The Services are only available within the coverage of the 2degrees Network.
    2. Where we provide a Service to you that is subject to specific terms and conditions, those terms and conditions will form part of this Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between these Mobile Terms and any specific terms and conditions applicable to you, the specific terms and conditions will prevail.
    3. 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 a 2degrees SIM card to connect and use the Mobile Services.
    4. In order to receive the Services you must configure the “network selection” setting of Mobile Device as specified by Kiwi VoIP or the Mobile Services may not work.
    5. Kiwi VoIP will try its best to provide quality Mobile Services. However, because of 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  to, geographic conditions and physical obstructions, weather conditions, the number of people trying to use the Network at the same time or faults in the Network or other networks used by Kiwi VoIP to provide the Mobile Services. Kiwi VoIP cannot guarantee continuous or fault-free Mobile Services, which means you may not receive all of the Services in all areas all of the time.
    6. The quality, speed and coverage of the Mobile Services also depends partly on your Mobile Device, partly on the Network and partly on other third party telecommunications networks. Coverage and Services can also change as our Network partner continues to manage, build, develop and improve the 2degrees Network. Managing the Network include prioritising certain types of traffic over other traffic at times of congestion.
    7. The Mobile Services may be unavailable at times due to maintenance, repairs, upgrades or modifications to the Network or other networks used to provide the Mobile Services. Where it is within our control, we will try to keep such unavailability to a minimum.
    8. Not all mobile phones and devices can receive all the Services and some mobile phones and devices may not be compatible with the 2degrees’ Network. We only agree to provide Services to you when you use a mobile phone or device of a make and model that is compatible with the 2degrees Network and which is approved by Kiwi VoIP and 2degrees on the 2degrees Network. If new features or changes to the Mobile Services (for example, 5G) require new or upgraded Mobile Devices or other equipment, you will be responsible for obtaining this at its cost.
    9. We may restrict or prevent the use of voice over internet protocol (“VOIP”) or message over internet protocol (“MOIP”) communications on the 2degrees Network, where your use of such communications would cause degradation or impact the performance of the 2degrees Network.
    10. Kiwi VoIP will use its best endeavours to maintain security of information, but it cannot guarantee that information received or sent using the Mobile Services will always be secure.
    11. Kiwi VoIP will try to prevent viruses or other manipulating programs from harming your Mobile Device, but will in no event, be responsible if any harm occurs.
    12. Kiwi VoIP may alter information sent by you when using the Mobile Services in order to enable delivery to the recipient.
    13. You must be on the Kiwi VoIP APN to receive the Mobile Services and need to ensure that each of your users:
      1. accept any request from Kiwi VoIP to join that network; and
      2. follow any instructions or directions from Kiwi VoIP for changing the settings on their Mobile Device in order to be on the Kiwi VoIP APN.
    14. Kiwi VoIP reserves the right to suspend Mobile Services in whole or in part (including stopping data usage) to any user who does not move to the Kiwi VoIP APN in accordance with clause 1(m).
    15. The Services may be changed, suspended or removed by us and/or new Services introduced from time to time. If we do so, we will notify you and you may be entitled to end this Agreement in accordance with clause 15.
    16. We can at our discretion impose credit limits for your use of the Services where you no longer meet our credit criteria or have failed to make any required Payments on your Account. We will try to notify you as soon as possible if we impose such limits. We may restrict your use of the Services without prior notice if you exceed any credit limit. You remain liable for all Charges incurred in excess of your credit limit.

D: PLANS

      1. Cannot be redeemed for cash, phone equipment, early disconnection charges or other Charges or anything else, and cannot be transferred or assigned;
      2. Expire on termination of these Mobile Terms, at which point unused entitlements will not be refunded or redeemed, and will be forfeited on disconnection by you;

    2. DataSome 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 max 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  per the plans definition. This may vary from plan to plan, and will impact the users experience. Each user will still be able to use data like before, but may experience some degradation (such as lower video resolution) when watching video, streaming or loading images.
    3. Calls and TextsUn talk and text is for standard person-to-person calls and texts to standard NZ numbers. Premium and special numbers are excluded. Un 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 Kiwi VoIP considers to be non-standard personal usage.
    4. VoicemailVoicemail is one of the Services we provide.
    5. You will be required to set up a 4 digit voicemail PIN to activate your voicemail account. Your voicemail PIN will be used by you to control access to your voicemail account.

    6. Unplayed messages will be stored in your voicemail account for 30 days only and will then be deleted. Your voicemail account will be de-activated after 60 days of inactivity (i.e. where no messages are deposited or retrieved). We may also limit the length and number of messages which may be stored in your voicemail account.
    7. Calls to your voicemail account from your Mobile Phone will be charged. You are responsible for all access to your voicemail account and for any Charges incurred as a result. See 2degrees.nz for our voicemail charges.

 

E: FAIR USE

    2. Your use of the Services must be fair, reasonable and not excessive, as reasonably determined by us by reference to average and/or estimated typical customer usage of the Services. We will consider your usage to be excessive and unreasonable where it:
      1. materially exceeds the average and/or estimated use patterns over any day, week or month (or other period of time as determined by us); and
      2. causes us to incur additional costs or affects the performance of the 2degrees Network or affects another 2degrees’ customers’ use of or access to the Services (Excessive Usage).
    3. Where we offer any included Services under a Plan or other Service (such as included voice or video calls, text or picture messages, data transfer and internet use via the 2degrees Network), such use is offered for your individual private and personal use and benefit only. In no case does any Service allow for activities aimed at making profit or reselling the Service or using the Service in an unfair or excessive way and any such use of the Services by you is a breach of this Agreement. Furthermore, the use of all Services is permitted only through a Mobile Phone. Use of Services through PBX or any other line connected to a computer for the purpose (or any other purpose) of making a large number of voice and video calls and/or sending a high volume of data and/or simultaneously sending text or picture messages is not permitted.

For the avoidance of doubt, fair use of our Services excludes activities such as auto-dialling, premium services, continuously call forwarding, telemarketing, call centres or other activities that use our services for commercial gain and use of Cellular Trunking Units (including SIM boxes and GSM gateways).
    5. If in our reasonable opinion we consider your usage to be Excessive Usage or in breach of this Agreement we may immediately suspend, modify or restrict your use of the Services or withdraw in full or in part your access to the Services without notice to you.
