Redback Communications Pty. Ltd. ABN: 64 103 466 628 (“We”,” Us” or “Our”) will provide you, the customer specified on the Application Form (“You” or “Your”) with services in accordance with the following terms and conditions.
1. Summary
We supply the service, You pay Us for the service.
2. Services
You get a 3G SIM card from Us and until the card is returned to Us, you pay Us for the service.
If the service doesn’t perform to Your satisfaction, You can return the 3G SIM card to Us and will cancel the service on Our receipt of the 3G SIM card. You are liable for all charges up until the 3G SIM card is returned to Us. If the 3G SIM card is damaged while in your possession or in transit to Us, We will charge You $25.00.
We use the Optus 3G HSDPA and GSM networks to provide the wireless broadband service and You acknowledge that We have no control over the Optus network. Being a wireless service, the signal strength and reliability of the service will depend on a number of factors outside of Our control.
3. Charges
3.1 You will pay us the price of the Services by way of credit card, cash or cheque or such other method of payment as shall be agreed prior to commencement of supply of Service. If You nominate credit card payment, You are authorising Us to debit Your card with the amount included on the adjacent Application Form signed by You as the card signatory.
3.2 Additional fees will be charged for services and/or activities You ask us to undertake on Your behalf. These fees will be advised to You at the time You make your request to Us and prior to Us commencing any work.
3.3 You may, at Your discretion elect to cancel the service within the first 30 days and receive a full refund on the 3G modem as long as it is returned undamaged in its original packaging. You acknowledge that you will be liable for the monthly and usage fees up until the time the 3G modem is received by Us.
4. Duration
This Agreement commences on the Commencement Date and will remain in force until terminated by either party.
5. Pre-Paid plans
Pre paid plans can be purchased in blocks of Time or blocks of GB’s. Each Pre-Paid Plan Type has a set time (expiry date) in which the allowance must be used. If the allowance has been depleted before the active plans’ expiry date, the service will become inactive.
The day You activate the plan is day one. For example, You join on the 1st of April – this is day one. The plan will expire at 11:59pm on the 30th of April, thirty days later.
Once an active plan has reached the expiry date any remaining allowance will be lost.
It is expected that You will top up before your allowance is depleted, or your plan expires. If there is no active plan for a grace period of five (5) days from the expiry date of the last active plan, the service will be terminated. It would then be necessary to purchase a new SIM. For example, if the expiry date of a plan is the 30th of April and You have not topped up in the grace period, which ends at 11:30pm on the 5th of May, the service is terminated. Once the service (SIM) has been terminated, it cannot be reactivated.
If there is any allowance (Time or GB) remaining, but the plan expires, the remaining is lost, even if a subsequent top up has been purchased for the service. You can purchase a top up for your service while You are still using the allowance from the original plan or previous top up.
The expiry date of a top up is not determined by the purchase date apart from the initial plan purchased. The expiry date is then calculated by the start date of the plan which is determined by a) the expiry date of the previous plan (top up) or b) the date the previous plan (top up) allowance was depleted.
Six (6) GB Hard Limit Rule
Maximum usage allowance will be limited to 6GB at any time during the month. After which the service will become inactive, even if any active allowance remains. Any remaining allowance will be reinstated for use on the service in the next calendar month, as long as the plan expiry date has not lapsed.
Customers can use their allowance and then top up as frequently as they like during a calendar month, as long as they don’t go over the 6GB during the calendar month.
If a service has gone over 6GB, a top up can be purchased, but the allowance will not be made active on the service until the next calendar month.
