      2. any actions taken by your users or third parties who use your Cloud PBX or any PBX Phone, including (but not limited to) configuration or feature changes made by them.
        Any additional support requested by you in relation to fault will be chargeable on a time and materials basis as may be agreed with you in advance.
  1. Charges:
    1. The monthly Charges payable by you during the Term for your Cloud PBX will be determined based on the number and type of Users having access to your Cloud PBX and the length of the Term selected.
    2. The Charges will be notified to you by a member of our business sales team when you apply for your Cloud PBX and will be set out in your application form.
    3. All calls made from a User’s PBX Phone are chargeable as fixed line calls based on the rates quoted to you (except in relation to New Zealand and Australia if you have purchased the NZ and Aussie Calling Add-On functionality referred to in clause 8(d)(iii)). If you select the Calling Pack add-on feature, the monthly Charge including calls to local, national and mobile numbers in New Zealand and Australia will be zero-rated. If this feature is not selected, Charges will be payable on a per-minute basis. International calls will also be chargeable on a per-minute basis (excluding Australia).
    4. Additional Charges for one-off additional Services, (such as for additional site surveys, cabling, training, installation, replacement Hardware, no-Fault found charges, Downgrade and Replacement Charges), may apply and be payable by you (regardless of whether you are the site owner) in addition to the monthly Charges. These Charges will be notified to you when you apply for Cloud PBX, or during the Term as they may arise and will be added to your monthly invoice. Charges for site surveys we conduct will be payable by you even if you decide not to purchase Cloud PBX. If you are not the site owner, you will provide us with contact details for the owner so that consent can be gained by local fibre companies for the purposes of installing data connections.
  1. Downgrade and Replacement Charges:
    1. If you wish to:
      1. downgrade any of your Users during the Term to any status with less functionality; or
      2. replace and downgrade any of your PBX Phones during the Term,
        you will pay us a one-off Charge at the time of each such downgrade calculated as the previous monthly Charges less the new monthly Charges multiplied by the months (including part-months) remaining and further multiplied by 50%.
    2. If any additional subsidies or credits were provided to you in relation to your Cloud PBX, these must be repaid to 2degrees, calculated on a pro-rata basis for months remaining in the Term.
    3. If you apply for 5 or more Users as part of your Cloud PBX and you reduce the number of your Users to below 5, from the date on which the change is implemented we reserve the right to charge you additional monthly Charges for the remainder of the Term in relation to the basic installation Services initially provided as part of your Cloud PBX.
  1. Cooling Off period: You or we may, within 10 Business Days of you signing your application form (“Cooling Off Period”), cancel your Cloud PBX immediately on notice without incurring Early Termination Charges. Such cancellation will not relieve you of your obligation to pay one-off Charges relating to installation and site survey(s) if such site survey(s) has/have been conducted.
  2. Cancellation: Following the Cooling Off Period, if you cancel your Cloud PBX at any time during the Term (including by terminating your Account with us), you will:
    1. be liable for and pay us a one-off early termination Charge being an amount equivalent to the combination of:
      1. 40% of all remaining Charges (including remaining Charges relating to Hardware) payable by you during the Term based on your Cloud PBX and additional features being consumed by you prior to your nominated date of cancellation; and
      2. any waived installation Charges, or discounts or credits applied to your Account, during the Term.
    2. cease using the Cloud PBX service immediately on your nominated date of cancellation; and
    3. return all Hardware to us in accordance with clause 12(a)(iii).

    1. obtaining all licences and consents for any Music on Hold recordings you wish to use with your Cloud PBX Service, details on obtaining licences can be found here: www.onemusicnz.com; and
