Formal Investigation

It may be necessary for Calls UK LTD to conduct a formal investigation to establish the root cause of customer misconduct. We prioritise the support of our staff and ensure that our customers understand the boundaries. This investigation will involve discussing the incident with both parties and evaluating the evidence. You will be notified of this investigation via email.

An obvious breach of contract may not require a formal investigation. If this is the case, you will be informed via email the date of your termination.

Steps to Terminate the Contract

Calls UK Ltd will notify you via email to inform you of the termination of your contract and the reasons for termination.

  1. a) You will have 30 days from the date of the email to find a new service provider. You will receive a final invoice for these 30 days. If this period extends into the following month, you will receive a partial invoice at the beginning of the subsequent month.
  2. b) It is your responsibility to ensure that your new service provider takes over all services. Calls UK Ltd will not be held responsible for any losses resulting from your new provider’s failure to take over the services before the termination date.

Right to Appeal

If you are dissatisfied with the reasons for contract termination, you have the right to appeal.

  1. a) If your contract was terminated due to an obvious breach, you can request a formal investigation. If, at the conclusion of this investigation, you are found to be at fault, your contract will still be terminated on the originally stated date in the first email.
  2. b) If your contract is terminated following a completed formal investigation, you are not entitled to an appeal, and the termination date will remain unchanged.

Termination Request by You

If you wish to terminate your contract with Calls UK, please provide a written request to Accounts@callsuk.co.uk outlining the reasons why. Allow up to 24 hours for your request to be acknowledged. Your account will be closed 30 days from the date of acknowledgement by our customer service team. Fees may apply.

  1. a) If you intend to terminate the contract based on a complaint, please contact us at support@callsuk.co.uk to ensure that our “Complaint Code of Practice” has been followed by our team and that your complaint has been escalated accordingly.
  2. b) If you wish to terminate the contract due to changing business needs, please contact us at Accounts@callsuk.co.uk to explore the possibility of meeting your new business requirements.

Early Termination Fee

If you terminate the contract within the initial 12 or 24-month period, an early termination fee will apply. This fee will be calculated as 30% of your recurring invoices (standard recurring invoices refer to invoices that remain the same each month) multiplied by the number of months remaining in your contract.

  1. a) If you are in a monthly rolling contract, you will be charged for the next 30 days from our customer service staff acknowledging your request. If a new month begins within these 30 days, you will be charged for the remaining days of the original 30-day period. The final invoice will be charged at the end of that month for the days used.

Change of Mind

If you have recently signed up for a new service and wish to change your mind, you have a 14-day window from the start of the service to do so. You will receive an invoice for the 14-day period, as well as any hardware received from us as part of the service.

If you no longer wish to terminate the contract and have previously contacted us with the intention to do so, you must immediately contact us via email or our main phone number. If our team has already initiated the account closure, we will make efforts to rectify the situation and prevent any service disruption. However, Calls UK Ltd will not be held responsible for any loss of service to your business resulting from your change of mind and any delays encountered by our team in rectifying your account.

This Agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements, or representations.

  1. Broadband Speeds Code

The minimum guaranteed download speed is defined as fifty percent (50%) of the advertised download speed of the relevant qualifying service as of the agreement’s commencement date, communicated to you by us prior to your submission of the signed order form.

The actual download speed delivered by your qualifying service is determined by us through measurements taken at the service equipment. It’s important to note that the download speed experienced on devices or apparatus connected beyond the service equipment may vary due to various factors, as detailed on our website.

We hold no liability under the agreement or this section if the actual download speed falls below the minimum guaranteed download speed beyond the service equipment, except in the following cases:

-Outage of the qualifying service.

-Disruption caused by planned maintenance, provided we have notified you in advance.

-Any act, omission, failure, or breach by you, whether direct or indirect.

To enable us to diagnose any speed fault, you must keep the service equipment connected, powered on, and configured to allow us to obtain traffic speed information.

If you believe you are experiencing an issue with your actual download speed, you must promptly notify our customer care team via telephone using the contact details provided on our website.

If we are unable to resolve the issue over the telephone, we will commence remote monitoring of your actual download speed starting from the day following your initial notification. A speed fault is deemed to have occurred if our monitoring demonstrates that your actual download speed fell below the minimum guaranteed download speed on three (3) consecutive days during the monitoring period, whether continuously or intermittently.

Upon completion of the speed monitoring period, we will inform you of the results without delay.

If a speed fault is confirmed, we will endeavour to rectify it within thirty (30) days from the date of your initial telephone notification (referred to as the fix period). We may extend or delay the fix period reasonably if circumstances beyond our control, such as cancelled engineer visits or missed appointments, or other exceptional circumstances, hinder the resolution of the speed fault.

 

At the conclusion of the fix period, we will provide you with a written outcome notice, indicating either:

-Successful resolution of the speed fault, absolving us of any further liability regarding the fault.

-Inability to rectify the speed fault, triggering the provisions outlined in clauses 18.11 to 18.14.

If we fail to rectify the speed fault within the fix period, you may exercise your right to cancel the affected qualifying service(s) and any other bundled standard voice and broadband products, or any other service solely dependent on the affected qualifying service (including VoIP services), without incurring cancellation charges. This right to exit applies solely to the applicable services and does not extend to other parts of the service or the agreement, which remain in full force and effect.

Our outcome notice will specify:

-Whether the right to exit has arisen for the applicable services.

-The available options following the conclusion of the fix period.

If you wish to exercise your right to exit, you must notify us in writing within the specified timeframe, as indicated in the outcome notice.

In the event of a right to exit, we will aim to cancel the affected services within thirty (30) days of receiving your written notice. However, we reserve the right to extend this period if circumstances beyond our control hinder the cancellation process.

If we successfully rectify the speed fault within the fix period, our liability regarding the fault ceases, and no further action is required.

This broadband speed code section does not apply to any customer, product, or service other than qualifying customers and qualifying services as defined herein.

Please note that all other terms and conditions of the agreement remain in effect, and this section will continue to apply even after the agreement’s termination.

To initiate the cancellation, write to us via email. Our team will send you a confirmation email upon receipt of your request.

  1. Miscellaneous

Unless otherwise stated in the agreement, the rights and remedies provided under the agreement are cumulative and do not supersede any other legal rights and remedies. The failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy under the agreement does not constitute a waiver, and the right or remedy may be exercised in the future. The exercise of any right or remedy, either in whole or in part, does not prevent the exercise of that or any other right or remedy in the future.

If any part of the agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable by a court or relevant authority, it does not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining parts of the agreement. In such cases, both parties will discuss the affected part of the agreement to find a substitute provision that, to the extent possible, achieves the same economic effect and is legally binding.

Any provisions intended to remain in force after the agreement or any part of it ends will continue to be effective.

Unless prohibited by relevant restrictions in the agreement, either party may request the other party to complete necessary paperwork and take reasonable actions to give full effect to their rights under the agreement. The party making the request will bear the reasonable costs associated with completing the paperwork or carrying out the requested actions.

The agreement does not create a partnership between you and us, nor does it establish an agency relationship between you and us. You and we agree that the agreement cannot be enforced by any third party under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or any amendments to it.

Additional Rights and Remedies

The rights and remedies provided under the agreement are in addition to, and do not override, any other legal rights and remedies.

Exercise of Rights and Remedies

The failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy under the agreement does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy. The exercise of any right or remedy, either in whole or in part, does not prevent the future exercise of that right or remedy.

Severability

If any part of the agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable by a court or relevant authority, it does not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining parts. The parties will work together to find a substitute provision that achieves the same economic effects and is legally binding.

Survival of Provisions

Any provisions intended to remain in force after the agreement or any part of it ends will continue to be effective.

Completion of Paperwork and Actions

Unless otherwise restricted in the agreement, either party may request the other party to complete necessary paperwork and take reasonable actions to give full effect to their rights under the agreement. The requesting party will bear the reasonable costs associated with completing the paperwork or carrying out the requested actions.

Third-Party Rights

The agreement is not enforceable by any person other than you and us under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or any amendment to it.

28.Settling Disputes

In the event of a dispute between you and us regarding the agreement that cannot be resolved within 30 days of providing notice to the other party, either party may refer the dispute to arbitration or the courts of England. However, both parties will continue to fulfil their obligations under the agreement while following the dispute resolution procedure. This clause does not prevent either party from terminating the agreement in accordance with the standard terms and conditions or any applicable special terms. Equitable relief may be sought from a court if damages alone are deemed insufficient to remedy a breach of the agreement.

  1. Governing Law and Arbitration

The agreement and any obligations arising from or related to it are governed by and interpreted according to English law. Disputes not involving complex legal issues or amounts exceeding £5,000 may be referred to arbitration or another appropriate method of dispute resolution. Legal actions or proceedings related to the agreement shall be conducted exclusively in the English courts. Both parties fully accept the jurisdiction of the English courts to decide on such actions or proceedings.
