What is the 'No Dramas' Contract?
How much is the early termination fee?
The No Dramas Contract is a fair and flexible way of keeping both sides accountable for the service being provided. Any issues (from signing up to the speed you get) give us a chance to help resolve it (contact us asap) and if you are still not happy then let us know and we'll make sure there are no dramas.
So am I in a contract or not?
You would have agreed to a contract term when joining, could have been a 6, 12 or 24 month term. this means you would be agreeing to our standard terms and conditions for getting services with us and that you are agreeing to keep your services for the length of the contract term chosen.
The No Drama Terms is removing hassle/worry out of the contract making sure that if you have a genuine reason for needing to end the contract early, we’d rather avoid any dramas.
What does it mean to work in good faith?
This is simply upholding your end of the contract (like we will for ours) so things like:
- You pay your bill on time.
- You tell us about your genuine reason as soon as it comes up.
- You give us a chance to fix it or find a solution and do your part in good faith, by providing the reasonable information and taking the reasonable steps we request to troubleshoot the problem and/or resolve it (for example, if we suggest some specific steps to improve the quality of your connection, actually taking those steps).
When would the contract not be removed?
- You only need broadband for a month or two (say in your Bach over summer).
- You want to sign up to a limited time special offer with another provider.
- You’ve decided you don’t need broadband anymore.
