    • Our agreement to provide Fibre Access or VDSL Access to you is conditional on us confirming that we are able to supply Fibre Access or VDSL Access to your Premises and your confirmation to meet any additional costs or terms that might apply.
    • If you move Premises to a location outside of a Fibre Access or VDSL Access area we cannot guarantee to provide your Fibre Access or VDSL Access at your new address. We will advise you at the time of your move what access and services options are available to you, although this Agreement will continue for the remainder of the Term.
  5. INSTALLATION
    • Unless expressly set out otherwise in the Agreement, you are responsible for all costs in relation to the installation of Fibre Access or VDSL Access at your Premises including any set-up charges.
    • On the first day of the installation we or the LFC technician will discuss with you what is required for installation at your Premises. Installation will only proceed if you consent to any non-standard installation charges that may apply.
    • If your installation is non-standard, your installation will incur additional charges. If you do not agree to such charges, we will not be able to supply you with Fibre Access or VDSL Access.
    • There are two standard installation options:
      • Standard Connection only: only available when you already have a pre-existing VDSL or Fibre Access, which you are transferring to us;
      • Standard Connection and Wiring: if you do not already have an active VDSL or Fibre Access. We will undertake a full reinstallation of the line, during which time your previous services that used the Fibre or VDSL connection will be unavailable. We do not make any representations or warranties about the outage time, or whether we will be able to successfully install Fibre or VSDL.
    • Our Standard Connection Only and Standard Connection and Wiring options do not include:
      • Additional work associated with your installation which has additional cost (including additional work which is required due to the quality and capacity of your lines);
      • Any trench excavation;
      • Additional line capacity at your Premises or new lead-ins at your Premises which you request that we install;
      • Wiring from the MDF at your Premises if your building is fitted with a MDF;
      • Installation or configuration of your router (e.g. for LAN); or
      • Any other factor associated with your installation or set-up which we (or our agent) reasonably consider to be non-standard.
    • Third party consents will be required in a number of situations, including:
      • If you are not the owner of the Premises or the property on which the Premises is located;
      • If the Premises are accessed via a right-of-way; or
      • If the Premises are part of a multi-unit dwelling, shared with other workplaces, or a campus.
      • You must provide us with all information and assistance required to assess what consents may be required. You must obtain the consent of the owner(s) of your Premises(s) to all works being undertaken at the Premises(s) and obtain or assist us or the LFC to obtain all other required authorisations, licences and consents.
      • Fibre Access or VDSL Access will not be installed and Services will not be supplied until all required access, authorisations, licences and consents are obtained.
      • You must be present at the Premises during the installation of the Fibre Access or VDSL Access, and make available any person required by us or the LFC, or the Fibre Access or VDSL Access may not be able to be installed
      • Installation of Fibre Access or VDSL Access at your Premises may require trench excavation. Where we agree to undertake excavation of your cost, restoration will be limited to restoration of the area where a trench has been dug and may include reinstating surfaces in a ‘like for like’ manner (i.e. grass with grass, concrete with concrete or asphalt with asphalt etc.), however if this type of restoration is covered the finish or match of the reinstated surface is not guaranteed. Where a LFC is engaged, such restoration will be limited to the restoration policy of that LFC. You are responsible for any restoration beyond the LFC’s restoration policy, including the costs of the restoration.
      • Some shared UFB infrastructure may need to be installed before we can install your specific Fibre Access or VDSL Access. The LFC may require the building owner to contribute to the cost of the shared infrastructure. Our charges do not cover any contributions to the cost of the shared UFB infrastructure, which is a matter for the building owner and the LFC.
      • Some line characteristics and conditions are not apparent until the line is built and can be tested. Once the line is built and tested we may discover that we are unable to provide you with Fibre Access or VDSL Access because your lines are unable to support Fibre or VDSL. If this occurs, we will attempt to re-activate your previous connection, but we cannot guarantee that such reactivation will be successful.
  1. INSTALLATION FEES
    • Fees may apply if you have not kept an agreed appointment, have not been present at your Premises during the installation or call-out, or have failed to provide access to the Premises or the appropriate people needed. Such fees shall be charged at the applicable rates set out on our website from time to time.
    • Should you move premises then a disconnection fee and reconnection fee will be payable at the rates set out in the website.
  2. SERVICE LIMITATIONS
    • Fibre Access and VDSL Access is an access service only, which provides infrastructure for the relevant Services to be delivered to your Premises. Your Services will have the capability and characteristics stated for those Services, and not necessarily the full capability and characteristics of the Fibre Access or VDSL Access.
    • Fibre Access and VDSL Access are reliant on mains power, both at your Premises and in our network. In the event of a power failure the Fibre Access or VDSL Access will not work.
    • Fibre Access and VDSL Access may not provide a level of data throughput required to deliver some voice and video communications. Fibre Access and VDSL Access services should not be your primary access service for emergency services calling (111 calling).
    • We do not guarantee that the Fibre Access and VDSL Access will support third party services and devices (for example: monitored alarms, modems, sky set top boxes, faxes, medical alarms and eftpos). It is your responsibility to contact your relevant third party service provider to ask whether such services are compatible with Fibre or VDSL. You may require an alternative access if your third party service provider cannot guarantee compatibility with our Fibre Access or VDSL Access.
    • Statements about the speed of your Fibre Access and VDSL Access are based on theoretical maximums and are not guarantees of continuous speed. The actual speed that your Fibre Access and VDSL Access can achieve may depend on a number of factors including: your equipment (including your computer and Wi-Fi capability); your internal and external premises wiring; the distance of your premises from the exchange; New Zealand and overseas networks; internet traffic congestion; other environmental factors, and how many other people are using it at the time.
  3. YOUR OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES
    • You may not terminate your Fibre Access or VDSL Access independently of any Services provided over Fibre Access or VDSL Access. If you terminate your Fibre Access or VDSL Access, Services provided over that Fibre Access or VDSL Access will also be terminated.
    • If you are replacing an access service from another provider with Fibre Access or VDSL Access, you are responsible for terminating your previous service. We recommend you do not cancel any previous services from third parties until your Fibre Access or VDSL Access service is operational.

Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

This Acceptable Use Policy shall apply whenever you use Broadband, Tomizone Business VoiP or other Services whereby you use content. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Specific Terms and Conditions and the General Terms and Conditions these Specific Terms and Conditions shall prevail to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency.

  • TNZ desires that users understand the intended and permissible uses of its Equipment and Services, and further desires to prevent fraud, exploitation and abuse of certain TNZ calling plans and features.
  • Certain calling plans, including unlimited calling plans, are designed for normal commercial use and are not intended to represent typical usage by unique organizations such as call centers, resellers, fax messaging services, telemarketing firms, or for use without live dialog, such as transcription services, intercom or monitoring services. Unauthorized or excessive use beyond that normally experienced by typical business customers violates this AUP and may cause extreme network capacity and congestion issues and interfere with TNZ’s network and third party networks with whom TNZ connects for call initiation and completion services.  As a guide, users will be considered to be in violation of this AUP when aggregate outbound land to mobile [or land] calling exceeds 1000 minutes per subscriber extension (user) per month.
  • In addition, unlimited plans may not be used for any of the following prohibited uses (which are in addition to the other prohibited uses under this AUP or otherwise applicable to the TNZ Equipment and Services):
    • Spamming or blasting (e.g., sending one hundred (100) or more bulk and/or junk voicemail or faxes simultaneously);
    • Cryptocurrency mining;
    • Bulk call-in lines (e.g., customer support or sales call centers, “hotlines”, 0900 numbers, sports-line numbers, etc.); or
    • Auto-dialling or “predictive” dialling (i.e., non-manual dialling or using a software program or other means to continuously dial or place out-bound calls).
      • If you use the Service in a way that is inconsistent with the normal use for your Service or plan (or which is otherwise in breach of this AUP) we may:
        • monitor and investigate your usage; and
        • Either:
          • (i)             Suspend and/or withdraw the Service; or
          • (ii)           Charge our standard per minute rate for additional calls or standard rate for data/internet usage.
