1.1. These terms and conditions apply to the Company and all its employees, agents and representatives ("End Users").
1.2. This Schedule 1 sets forth the general terms and conditions of the Agreement for the supply of the products and services ("the Service(s)") to be provided by TP Operations Australia Pty Ltd and its Affiliates (hereinafter 1GLOBAL, we, us and our) to Customer and its End Users, (collectively and individually you and your as the case may be) pursuant to the Agreement with 1GLOBAL for the Service, into which its Schedule 1 is incorporated by reference, for use by You and each End User. Your use of these Services is subject to this Agreement including any other terms and conditions associated with any ancillary services offered by 1GLOBAL as notified to you in writing and which will also be incorporated into this Agreement. A copy of this Agreement should be retained for future reference and any changes or updates to this Agreement will be notified to you in writing.
1.3. You may only access and use the Services in accordance with this Agreement.
2. Minimum Contract Period
Connection to the 1GLOBAL Services is subject to 1GLOBAL carrying out and being satisfied with your credit status. The minimum contract period set out in the relevant Agreement ("Minimum Contract Period") shall not commence unless and until 1GLOBAL is satisfied with your credit status. By entering into an Agreement, you agree to make the payments due under this Agreement as they relate to the Services requested and used by you for the Minimum Contract Period. Save in respect of your termination of this Agreement under clause 9.4(a) or 9.4(e), early termination will not relieve you of the payment obligations and liability for the monthly charges that apply for the duration of the Minimum Contract Period.
3. Service
3.1. We shall provide you with national and international telecommunications services including voice, text and where available data services based on the capabilities of a multi-IMSI SIM card.
availability
3.2. You acknowledge that mobile telephony is a form of wireless communication and operates on the basis of transmission over radio frequency spectrum. As such it can be interfered with by numerous external sources or by obstacles inherent in buildings, vegetation or terrain and as such we cannot guarantee a perfect or error free transmission, both in terms of quality or availability of the Service.
3.3. The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We shall take all reasonable steps to make the Service available to you at all times, contingent upon our and/or our service provider's ability to maintain necessary licenses or permissions, or our and or our service provider's network capacity and connection availability. Please note that the network operator in the country of use will be responsible for network coverage, quality and availability.
3.4. We do not warrant or guarantee a fault free Service and give no warranties or guarantees as to network coverage, quality or availability. In the event of a fault, upon becoming aware of the fault or upon receipt of notice of the existence of such a fault by you, we shall use reasonable efforts to promptly correct the fault.
3.5. We reserve the right to choose our network operators and technology partners as we deem appropriate and to provide access to the Service in any manner we deem in the best interest of our business requirements. In this regard you hereby consent to us disclosing and using any of your personal data for the provision of the Service, subject to any applicable data protection or similar legislation or regulations, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Any such use of your personal data will be subject to the terms of our Privacy Policy, updated versions of which shall be notified to you in writing and can also be found on www.1GLOBAL.com ("our Website").
3.6. If an End User is in an area where their 1GLOBAL SIM Card is searching for a wireless signal or there is no wireless signal or wireless service, it is highly probable that an Emergency call will not go through. The End User must not rely solely on the 1GLOBAL SIM card in an emergency situation. In an emergency, the End User must locate the nearest landline phone and call for help.
local numbers
3.7. You can add multiple available nominated additional country 1GLOBAL mobile numbers to your SIM account that we offer as part of our Services and which have been contractually agreed with you.
3.8. The current list of countries where we offer additional local mobile numbers and the process for adding additional country numbers can be found on our Website or you can call 1GLOBAL Customer Services for an up to date list and information on how to add an additional country number. 1GLOBAL reserves the right to amend this country list from time to time.
3.9. The use of any numbers assigned to your End Users’ SIM Cards is subject to this Agreement and any material breach of this Agreement may result in your use of one or more of the allocated numbers being withdrawn from your use.
roaming
3.10. As with any GSM mobile service, a core feature of the Service is the inclusion of roaming on foreign networks in order to provide the Service outside your chosen home country and any agreed 1GLOBAL designated countries ("Roaming"). Roaming means that you will be using foreign networks, over which we have no control and therefore cannot provide any guarantees about the Service, particularly its availability or quality. In addition your use of the Service whilst Roaming may be subject to different laws and regulations that apply. We will not accept any liability for your failure to comply with those laws or regulations.
local tariffs for designated countries
3.11. The unique feature about the 1GLOBAL Service is the ability to be charged local rates for calls in certain identified countries outside your chosen home country. Where you have subscribed to have access to local tariffs for your SIM one or more of these other 1GLOBAL countries and provided the necessary fees have been paid, your End Users will be able to make and receive calls on your 1GLOBAL SIM Cards at local call rates in those chosen countries.
3.12. Where 1GLOBAL does not have an arrangement with a specific country for the purchasing of local rates and thereby the offering of local rates on the 1GLOBAL SIM, then your End Users may still use the 1GLOBAL SIM but this will be on a Roaming basis. You will incur additional charges for this Roaming ability including for the making and receiving of calls, texts and data access whilst Roaming.
3.13. It is your responsibility to check the billing status (i.e. whether local tariffs are applicable for subscribing to or roaming only) of the country you intend to use the Service in before you travel to that country and incur any charges by using the Services in that country. 1GLOBAL will not be liable for any charges incurred by you or your End Users based on your misunderstanding of the applicable and available tariffs in a particular country.
suspension
3.14. From time to time we may be required to upgrade, modify or maintain the Service and or equipment used to provide the Services. On such occasions the Service may be temporarily unavailable, however, we will endeavour to keep such disruption to a minimum and notify you in advance when possible.
3.15. We reserve the right to suspend the Service, or the Service to any End User(s), as appropriate, without giving you notice where:
a) we have reason to believe you or an End User are in breach of the Service conditions of usage (clause 5 below) or any of our policies as notified to you;
b) pending the outcome of an investigation following receipt of a complaint made against you or an End User;
c) there are any outstanding bills or Service charges which have not been paid when they are due for payment and 1GLOBAL has provided reasonable written notice for remedying the non payment of the outstanding bills;
d) we are notified that the SIM Card licensed to you and an End User by us is lost or stolen;
e) we are obliged to comply with an order, instruction or request of any government, regulatory, or emergency services organisation, or other competent administrative authority;
f) in order to prevent damage or degradation of our or our contracting party's network integrity which may be caused by you or anyone using your access;
g) for operational reasons or in an emergency or for security reasons.
monitoring
3.16. We may at our discretion bar or disconnect an End User's SIM Card if we have reasonable cause to suspect any form of fraudulent use including relating to a SIM Card or mobile phone whilst using the Service.
3.17. We may monitor the Service, including for usage, fraud and quality purposes, and disclose information gained from such monitoring in order to satisfy any law, regulation or other governmental request, to operate and administer the Service, or to protect us or our other customers.
4. Activation
4.1. The Service shall commence following activation of the SIM Card so that the Service is operationally available for your End Users' use (Activation).
4.2. If non-activiated SIM Card has been provided to you, you can call our customer service to activate the SIM Card.
5. Your obligations
use
5.1. You agree that your End Users shall use the Service lawfully and in compliance with this Agreement and that you are responsible for all use of the Service by your End Users including call costs and charges incurred to your account for using the Service (including such use, call costs and charges incurred by any third party using your account with or without your permission). You furthermore procure that you will obtain the necessary consents from your End Users for the processing and/or transfer of their personal data outside their country of residence for the provision of the Service and regulatory compliance purposes. Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy and Fair Usage Policy which you and your End Users must adhere to. A copy of each of those policies is available on our Website and shall also be available on request. You agree to ensure that all End Users are provided with a copy of the Acceptable Use Policy and are made aware of the Privacy Policy and Fair Usage Policy. If we make any changes to these policies we shall notify you in writing and you agree to advise all End Users of any such changes. Any use in contravention of these policies will entitle us to terminate the Service to you and/or your End User(s) and to cancel your account, as appropriate. We will where reasonably practicable and legally possible to do so, notify you of any breaches of our policies by you or your End User(s) and allow you to remedy such breach within 7 days prior to any suspension or termination of the Service by us.
5.2. You shall be responsible for all use of the Service including but not limited to Devices its proper configuration and installation, compliance with any regulations and applicable instructions issued either by us or the supplier of the Device.
5.3. You must comply with all reasonable directions of 1GLOBAL including relating to any security procedures and standards with respect to the Service.

SIM card
5.4. You must inform us immediately if any SIM Card provided to you under this Agreement is lost or stolen. You will remain fully liable for all call costs and charges incurred with respect to that SIM Card and Services until you do so.

The cost of replacing a lost or stolen SIM Card is subject to the payment of an administration charge of AUD$20.

Device
5.5. You shall be responsible for ensuring that your End Users' Devices are compatible with the Service that you purchase from us. This may include ensuring that these Devices are 'unlocked' and are compatible with the network in the country where you wish to use them.
The quality of the Service is also dependent on the quality of the Device model you use and we have no control or influence over the quality of such Device. The choice of Device is solely yours.
Content
5.6. You are solely responsible for any and all content, information and communications transmitted by an End User using the Service and you agree that we have no responsibility for the deletion, corruption or failure to store any content transmitted using the Service.
Regulatory compliance
5.7. Certain countries have additional regulatory requirements that need to be fulfilled prior to 1GLOBAL being permitted to provide certain elements of the Services to customers. These include the obtaining, verification and retention of End User personal data. If an End User intends to travel to a country where 1GLOBAL is required to satisfy these additional regulatory requirements, then it is a condition of 1GLOBAL providing the Service that you co-operate and provide the required information and/or documentation prior to obtaining the Services.
5.8. 1GLOBAL shall have no liability to you for any costs or charges incurred by you or End Users for failing to comply and satisfy any regulatory requirement of a country prior to using the Services in that country.

Disputed invoices
6.7. Billing queries with respect to any invoice must be made in writing within (1) month of the date of receipt of the applicable invoice after which time the invoice will be deemed to be accepted and you waive any remedies which you would otherwise have to query such invoices.

6.8. If you challenge the accuracy of any invoice, or a dispute arises between you and us as to the accuracy of a sum due under this Agreement then, at the written election of either party, the procedures set out in Clauses 6.9 to 6.14 (inclusive) shall be used to resolve such dispute.
6.9. If the amount in dispute represents less than five percent (5%) of the total amount of the invoice (excluding GST), the invoiced amount shall be payable in full pending the resolution of the dispute.

i) a definitive re-calculation of the relevant sum due to you under the terms of this Agreement.

ii) reasonable access to information and relevant extracts of records or other of our working papers to review the re-calculation.
6.11.

6.12. If you notify us that you do not accept such re-calculation and provide as much detail as is reasonably practicable of the matters it does not accept as being correct, the parties shall meet and attempt to resolve any dispute or difference relating to the amount due.
