What is the 'No Dramas' Contract?
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.
