“Service”, “Services”, “Product”, or “Products” shall refer to all goods and services of any kind that we provide to you as specified in a Service Agreement.
“Service Agreement” means the Voice Service Agreement which is not confirmed by us until we accept and confirm your order and verify that the requested Service and installation method is available.
“Commencement Date”, unless otherwise specified, means the date on which we notify you that the Service is available.
“Terms” means these Voice Business Terms.
2. Our Charges
The cost (“Charges”) for each Product or Service shall be outlined in a Service Agreement and shall begin from the Commencement Date, regardless of when they begin to be used. You are liable for all Charges regardless of who uses the Product or Service.
If Services are provided for a specific term and that term has ended, then we will continue to charge you on a month to month basis for that Service unless we agree to a new term. You shall remain liable for those Charges and these Terms shall continue to apply.
3. Billing & Resale
We will send you an invoice for the Charges at the end of each month, which you will pay without deduction (other than validly disputed amounts) on the 20th day of the month following (“the Due Date”). Unless agreed otherwise, fixed charges are payable in advance, and other charges are payable in arrears.
Part payment of any invoice will not amount to full and final settlement and the remainder of your invoice will remain due on the Due Date.
Unless we explicitly agree in writing, you are not permitted to resell any Product or Service and you affirm that you are the end user.
4. Disputed Accounts
You agree that unless you dispute a Charge prior to the Due Date, then you accept that Charge as valid and agree to pay it in full and without deduction. If you dispute a Charge, you must notify us immediately and without delay. We will investigate the dispute, and while we are doing this you do not need to pay the disputed amount, but are required to pay any amount due that is not disputed. If we agree with your assessment, we will issue an amended invoice without delay. If we do not agree with your assessment and you still dispute the account, then you agree to submit the dispute for final and binding resolution to a mediator appointed by the Chair of LEADR New Zealand Inc in accordance with their standard mediation agreement.
5. Overdue Accounts
If you do not pay an invoice by the Due Date, we may charge you interest at 10% per annum on the unpaid amount from the Due Date until the date you pay it. Interest shall be calculated and compounded daily. You must also pay any costs that are incurred by us or our agents in recovering the money that you owe us.
We reserve the right to suspend or restrict any Service that we provide for you until payment is made in full, and you will continue to remain liable for all Charges.
This section does not apply to the portion of any invoice that is validly disputed.

Be sure to check with your current provider before giving us authority to port your numbers and/or broadband that you are out of contract. Any and all termination fines and fees from your old provider are your responsibility to pay unless otherwise discussed with us in written format.
Either party may terminate any or all Services immediately and without penalty if the other party:
• materially breaches these Terms; or
• (or its directors/principals) goes into liquidation, bankruptcy, or receivership; or
• has a receiver or statutory manager appointed over any or all of its assets; or
• is removed from the Companies Register, is dissolved, or dies; or • commits an act of fraud, theft, or dishonesty that impacts the other party.
If we require consent from owners of any site for access in order to supply you with a particular Service and the owners of that site withdraw such consent or request us to remove our equipment, then we may terminate the Service provided to you by written notice with effect of the date on which access to the site will be unavailable to us. You acknowledge and accept that we will not be liable to you in any way for failure to supply any Service where we terminate such Service under this provision.
Termination due to breach of these Terms will not affect other rights and remedies. If
Services are terminated due to breach, then you agree to pay us any monies owing (including any applicable penalty fee of 50% of the total monthly Charges remaining in your term, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the Service Agreement) and immediately return any equipment owned by us or provide us access to retrieve our equipment.
11. Our Equipment & Access
We will supply and install any equipment needed to provide the Services, unless agreed otherwise. Acquiring our Products or Services does not give you any proprietary rights to any part of our network or equipment.
