Anyone under 18 isn’t permitted to access our Age Restricted Services. n We’ve limited our liability to you as set out in Section 12 of the Terms for 3 Services. n You agree that we can process "Your Information” which we collect or which you submit to us during any sales or registration process, for a number of purposes, including to open and manage an account for 3 Services, to deliver products and services ordered by you, for credit checking and fraud prevention, and for product analysis and direct marketing (subject to your preferences) as set out in our ‘Privacy Notice’ in Section 13 of the Terms for 3 Services. Please read Section 13. Terms for using the 3 network n If you don’t pay your account on time or we reasonably believe that you haven’t complied with certain terms of your agreement, we may suspend or disconnect our 3 Services, but you still must pay all outstanding charges (including a Cancellation Fee for disconnection). n If you wish to end your agreement during your Minimum Term (but outside any money back guarantee that may apply), you must pay a Cancellation Fee which will be the total of the monthly charges remaining during the Minimum Term of your agreement less a discount of: (i) 3% for new connecting customers who are in the first Minimum Term of their agreement with us; or (ii) 10% for existing customers that have upgraded or renewed their existing contract with us for a further, subsequent Minimum Term. 18 TERMS FOR USING THE 3 NETWORK General Terms 1. Who’s who and what’s what 1.1 When we say: (a) ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’, we mean Hutchison 3G UK Limited, trading as ‘3’; (b) ‘you’ or ‘your’, we mean you, our customer; (c) ‘agreement’, we mean your agreement with us for the supply of 3 Services. 1.2 We also have set out in the glossary at the back of this section some useful definitions of words we use in these Terms for 3 Services. 2. About your agreement 2.1 Your agreement is made up of these Terms for 3 Services and your Price Plan, along with any other terms laid down in selected Additional 3 Services on the Phone or Dongle. Additional terms may apply to any promotional or special offers. 2.2 Your agreement is personal to you. You have to do what you’ve contracted to do, unless we write and say you can do something outside the agreement. Unless we give you permission (acting reasonably), you can’t pass your rights or responsibilities to anyone else – even if we give you more than one SIM or you give your Phone or Dongle to others. It’s your responsibility to make sure the SIMs are only used to access 3 Services as permitted in this agreement. 2.3 This agreement does not cover: (a) any products or services you buy while using 3 Services; or (b) the supply of your Phone or Dongle. The manufacturers of Phones or Dongles are not related to us. Any terms relating to Phones or Dongles will be given to you separately. 3. When your agreement begins 3.1 Your agreement starts when we Connect you to 3. (Note that in the special case where you do not Connect to 3 within a month of registering as a 3 customer and receiving your Phone or Dongle, your agreement will automatically start at the end of that month.) 3.2 (a) If your Price Plan has a Minimum Term, you agree to remain Connected to 3 for that Minimum Term. You have limited rights to end the agreement during the Minimum Term as set out in Section 10. (b) If your Price Plan does not have a Minimum Term, or your Minimum Term has expired, we will supply you with 3 Services until either of us chooses to end the agreement in any of the permitted ways set out in Section 10. 19 4. Variations to your agreement or prices 4.1 We may vary any of the terms of your agreement, including our Price Plans, on the following basis: (a) any updated Price Plans and new terms will be available on our website and on request to 3 Customer Services; (b) we will let you know at least one month in advance if we decide to: (i) discontinue your Price Plan; or (ii) make any variations to your agreement which are likely to be of detriment to you; or (iii) increase the fixed periodic charges for your Price Plan (if applicable) by an amount which is more than the percentage increase in the Retail Prices Index Figure (or any future equivalent) in any twelve month period. You can end the agreement for such variations as explained in Section 10. Subject to the above, you will not be able to end the agreement if such variation or increase: (i) is due to changes to the law, government regulation or licence which affect us; or (ii) relates solely to Additional Services; or (iii) relates solely to Add-on(s) (if applicable to you). In such circumstances you will not be able to end your agreement but you will be able to cancel the Add-on(s) by giving us 30 days’ written notice; and (c) if you carry on using 3 Services after the variation commences, you will be deemed to have accepted the variation. 4.2 If we offer a range of Price Plans, you may change from your Price Plan to one of a selected range of other Price Plans on such terms as agreed with us. 5. What we will provide for you A 3 phone number and SIM 5.1 We will open an account for you and provide you with a SIM and a 3 phone number (and we may agree to provide you with additional SIMs and phone numbers on your request). 5.2 We own each SIM and each SIM remains our property at all times. You are being allowed to use the SIM by us on a limited licence to enable you to access 3 Services, in accordance with the terms of this agreement. We may recall the SIM(s) at any time for upgrades, modifications, misuse or when your agreement ends. You can only use our SIM to obtain Services from us. 5.3 Each SIM may only be used in Phones or Dongles which are enabled for 3 Services and are authorised by us for Connection to the 3 network. Any attempt to use the SIM in other Phones or Dongles may result in serious damage to the Phone or Dongle and 20 may prevent you from being able to use it, including the making of emergency calls. In these instances, we are not responsible for any such damage or usage problems. 5.4 Phones or Dongles which can be used to access 3 Services are locked to our network. The software in the Phone or Dongle and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned by the Phone or Dongle manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the Phone or Dongle manufacturer. During the term of your Agreement for the supply of 3 Services, you must not permit your Phone or Dongle to be unlocked via any unauthorised manner (i.e. by anyone other than us or the Phone or Dongle manufacturer). You must contact us if you want your Phone or Dongle to be unlocked from our network. If you contact us to request that your Phone or Dongle be unlocked from our network, we will arrange for your Phone to be unlocked in an authorised manner (which may include replacing your Phone or Dongle with an unlocked Phone or Dongle, which is the same or similar specification to your Phone or Dongle) and you must pay an unlocking administration charge (which will be shown in the Price Guide for 3 Services). In addition, if you have had your Phone or Dongle for less than 12 months, you will also have to pay the Phone or Dongle Unlock Fee (this is also shown in the Price Guide for 3 Services). In addition, you must ensure that there are no outstanding amounts owing on your 3 account. Prior to us arranging for your Phone or Dongle to be unlocked, you must ensure that you back-up or otherwise store separately any of your information or other data on the Phone or Dongle which you may require, as this may be lost during the Phone or Dongle unlocking process. We are not responsible for any information or any other data which may be lost during the Phone or Dongle unlocking process. 3 Services 5.5 Once you are Connected to 3, we will provide you with access to our Services. The 3 Services will include Premium Services, provided you ask for them and we approve, and may also include Age Restricted Services, provided you are 18 or over and you do not show or send any content from the Age Restricted Services to anyone under 18. You can find more details of all 3 Services in our List of Services. 5.6 You will also be able to upload and send your own content using the 3 Services. You grant us a royalty free, perpetual and worldwide licence to store, transmit or otherwise deal with any content you upload on the 3 Services. If you choose to use the 21 POP3 polling features in our Messaging Services, you are appointing us as your agent for enabling the POP3 polling Services to be provided to you. 5.7 We may: (a) change or withdraw some, or part, of the 3 Services from time to time. This may be because of changing technologies, obsolescence, new or different product features, changing content providers or the need to remove, replace or modify content. Subject to Section 4.1, you can end the agreement if this variation is likely to be of detriment to you as explained in Section 10. (b) also determine how 3 Services are presented and delivered to the Phone or Dongle or are otherwise made available to you. We can change the way they are presented, delivered or otherwise made available to you at any time; (c) utilise the traffic management policy. This policy may be varied from time to time and will be available on our website. Limitation of 3 Services 5.8 We will always try to make 3 Services available to you. However, 3 Services are only available within 3’s coverage area (which comprises a video service area and a voice & picture area within the UK). Within this, there may be areas where you do not have access to all 3 Services or where coverage is otherwise limited or unavailable. For more information about coverage, visit our website. Disruption to 3 Services 5.9 There may be situations when 3 Services are not continuously available or the quality is affected and so we cannot guarantee continuous fault-free service. For instance: (a) when we need to perform upgrading, maintenance or other work on the 3 network or 3 Services; (b) when you move outside 3’s video service area whilst you are on a call (in this case calls may not be maintained); (c) when you are in areas not covered by the 3 network. In these cases 3 Services relies on other operators’ networks where we have no control; and (d) because of other factors outside our control, such as the features or functionality of your Phone, regulatory requirements, lack of capacity, interruptions to Services from other suppliers, faults in other communication networks, the weather or radio interference caused by hills, tunnels or other physical obstructions. 6. What you will do in return Secure your PIN, Passwords and SIM 6.1 As we own the SIM and it remains our 22 property at all times, you must ensure that you keep the SIM safe and secure whilst it is in your possession and you must ensure that you are able to return it to us, if required to do so by us at any time, as set out in these terms.

For example: (a) for fraudulent, criminal or other illegal activity; (b) in any way which breaches another person’s rights, including copyright or other intellectual property rights; (c) to copy, store, modify, publish or distribute 3 Services or their content (including ringtones), except where we give you permission; (d) to download, send or upload content of an excessive size, quantity or frequency.

If we publish a policy, we will let you know – such a policy may be amended from time to time – for instance, if we discover that the 3 services are being used fraudulently or for fraudulent purposes, or the excessive use of certain 3 Services is causing problems for 3, its systems or for other users or if we introduce new services which may require certain rules to ensure that such new services can be enjoyed by our customers, again, we will let you know if this happens.

For example, we may limit the size of messages or storage space. 6.10 While we have no obligation to monitor the Messaging Services or Storage Services, if you exceed our use limits set out in our fair use policy, (which is published as part of our Price Guide and is available on our website or from 3 Customer Services) or we are made aware of any issues with your use of these 3 Services, (for example, if we are made aware that you are using 3 Services in any of the ways prohibited in Section 6.8 above) we reserve the right to remove or refuse to send or store content on your behalf.

We are not liable for your failure to comply with those laws or regulations. Paying your Bills 6.13 You must pay us all Charges for all 3 Services which are accessed using the SIM(s) we supply you or which are accessed using your Phone(s) or Dongle(s), whether the 3 Services are accessed by you or by another person, with or without your permission.
