5. Access and Installation
5.1°
In order to perform our obligations under this Agreement you hereby grant us such rights over your land, buildings and premises ("your land") as are necessary for us to provide the Services to you (including our employees and authorised representatives), from time to time, upon giving you reasonable notice (save in any emergency):
(i)°
to enter those parts of your land to the extent that they are required for the purposes of the installation of Equipment;

You must pay your bill by the date specified in your bill. You will be liable for the Charges from the day on which we first make the Services available to you unless we notify you otherwise.
6.2°
From time to time we may vary our Charges, but we will publish any change in our main offices and on our website prior to the change taking effect. We will however use all reasonable endeavours to give written advance notice of any such increase in our charges which is likely to substantially increase the charges payable by a significant proportion of our customers. If you request a change to the Services supplied to you, we may need to alter the Charges to reflect those changes.
6.3°
You are required to pay your bills in full using the method you have chosen in this Agreement or as we have otherwise agreed. You will allow us to recover the Charges under any direct debit/credit card instruction you have given us. If you have chosen to pay by monthly direct debit and your bank or building society is unable to make payment in any one month we reserve the right to immediately cancel any direct debit facility and demand a different method of payment. If you have agreed to pay by direct debit but then do not maintain payments by this method we may charge you an administration charge to cover our reasonable costs.
6.4°
You agree that the Charges shall be payable monthly in advance. If you do not make your payments on time we may charge daily interest on amounts not paid until we receive your payment in full at a rate equal to 4% each year above the Base Lending Rate of the Dublin Inter Bank Offer Rate whether before or after judgement. Default Rate Interest will continue to accrue even if the Agreement has been terminated, as long as this termination is not due to a breach by us.

7. Equipment

You may also have to pay additional charges under Conditions 6.4 (administration charge) and 19.4 (reconnection/re-commencement of Service charges).
7.6°
If you breach any of the provisions of this Condition 7 our rights to take action for any breach of this agreement will apply. This will include, without limitation, our right to suspend Services, terminate the Agreement, reclaim the Equipment, forfeit the Deposit, withdraw any discounts or require you to pay a deposit or an increased deposit.
7.7°
You will provide at your cost reasonable assistance and facilities including any electricity for the functioning of the Equipment so that the Equipment can be installed. You must provide a suitable place and conditions for the Equipment.
7.8°
A secure and safe electricity power supply is required within your property for installation, provision, operation and maintenance of Services and Equipment. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, this power supply shall be supplied by you at your own expense and not supplied by us via the Company Network. Back-up power is needed if Services are required to continue uninterrupted in the event of a power failure in the principal power supply. We will not be responsible for faults arising in the Equipment or interruption in the provision of Services caused by failures in the power supply.
7.9°
From the time we deliver the Equipment to you you must take reasonable care of it. You must not allow anyone else (other than any of our representatives) to add to, interfere or modify the Equipment in any way. As well as any other rights we may have, such action may result in our suspending the Services, terminating the Agreement, retaining the whole or part of any deposit paid.
7.10°
If you chose to self install the Equipment, you will be responsible for all and any loss or damage to the Equipment that may occur as a result of such installation.
For the avoidance of doubt you will not be responsible for any loss or damage to the Equipment to the extent that it:
(i)°
is caused by us or our employees;
or
(ii)°
is due to a manufacturing or design fault;
or
(iii)°
is due to fair wear and tear.
7.12°
If upon arrival at the customer's house the engineer chooses the best location for the dish having regard to quality of signal etc. and the customer requires him to install the dish elsewhere it will be entirely at the engineer's discretion if he proceeds with the installation or not. If the engineer decides not to proceed with the installation under these circumstances, we reserve the right to charge for the engineers time and expenses and to deduct such amounts from any prepayment received. Should the engineer agree to install runs of cable in excess of 15 metres then this will be the subject of an extra charge which must be agreed with the engineer before commencement of the installation and must be paid to him before he leaves.
7.13°
Television Service (should it be supplied). As the tv. channels are all pre installed before the set top box leaves the factory it is up to the customer to apply all the necessary restrictions to prevent younger viewers to gain access to unsuitable material. ABB TELECOM Ltd., has no control over the content of the programmes available as part of this service. As the available channels change from time to time and as these changes are effected by third parties, ABB TELECOM Ltd., is not responsible for content either now or in the future.
7.14°
Once our engineer has completed the installation he will show the customer the service running on his (the engineer's) laptop. He will connect the service up to the client's computer and because it is a "plug and play" system it should work immediately. If it does not work on the client's computer due to software conflict etc. the engineer will not spend any time making alterations to firewalls or other protective devices within the client's computer software. It will be up to the client to make whatever software changes are necessary himself or else ask his computer supplier to do so.
7.15°
The service from ABB TELECOM is platform independent and it will operate on any personal computer running the Apple Operating System: Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows Operating System which is at least Windows 2000 or newer, Linux etc. The only hardware requirement being the client's computer should have sufficient memory and a network card installed.
