without limitation, BT) withholds payment of any

sum (in whole or in part) due to us in relation to a

of any sum (in whole or in part) paid to us in

rebate payable to you and keep or demand

payment by you of a sum equal to the amount

delayed, withheld or claimed until such network

operator makes payment of the same in full to us.

10.11 Failure to pay, as per payment terms, could

result in suspension of services until funds due are

paid in full. Affected services may then be resumed.

services or transfer of any numbers, as it would

be if the term of the contract was completed.

SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS

In addition to and where necessary to supersede

out the terms and conditions of business between

us and you in respect of the supply of Products,

Services and the introduction to Airtime Service

Providers. These terms and conditions shall govern

the Agreement to the exclusion of any other terms

and conditions subject to which you have accepted

or purported to have made an Order.

whichever is earlier, prior to acceptance you agree

that we may carry out such credit checks as it

deems necessary.

changes to your communications systems will be as

a result of consultation with you and based solely

upon the information provided to us by you,

considering our knowledge of the products and

Airtime Services. If you choose to enter into an

Airtime Services Agreement, you must enter into

directly. We are not a party to any such

arrangement and have no liability to you in

connection with any such agreement.

yourself with the terms and conditions imposed by

any Airtime Services Provider before entering into

of doubt, we cannot cancel Airtime Service

Agreements on your behalf.

any charges incurred by you in transferring to a

different Airtime Services Provider, this payment

will be made by us not earlier than four months

us in the event that the Airtime Services Agreement

has been terminated before the end of the

Minimum Period, as per Clause 23.1.

Services Provider or the manufacturer of a Product,

we are not responsible for payment of such sums or

written contract;

• assist the controller in providing subject

access and allowing data subjects to

exercise their rights under the GDPR;

• assist the controller in meeting its GDPR

obligations in relation to the security of

processing, the notification of personal

data breaches and data protection impact

assessments;

• delete or return all personal data to the

controller as requested at the end of the

contract; and

• submit to audits and inspections, provide

the controller with whatever information it

needs to ensure that they are both meeting

their Article 28 obligations, and tell the

controller immediately if it is asked to do

something infringing the GDPR or other

data protection law of the EU or a member

state.

• A processor must only act on the

documented instructions of a controller. If

a processor determines the purpose and

means of processing (rather than acting

only on the instructions of the controller)

then it will be considered to be a controller

and will have the same liability as a

controller.

• In addition to its contractual obligations to

the controller, under the GDPR a processor

also has the following direct

responsibilities:

• not to use a sub-processor without the

prior written authorisation of the data

controller;

• to co-operate with supervisory authorities

(such as the ICO);

• to ensure the security of its processing;

• to keep records of processing activities;

• to notify any personal data breaches to the

data controller;

• to employ a data protection officer; and

• to appoint (in writing) a representative

within the European Union if needed.

If a processor (us) fails to meet any of these

obligations or acts outside or against the

instructions of the controller, then it may be liable

to pay damages in legal proceedings or be subject to

fines or other penalties or corrective measures.

If a processor uses a sub-processor then it will, as

the original processor, remain directly liable to the

controller for the performance of the subprocessor’s

obligations.
