Contract: When you purchase Gigacube, you must agree to the Pay monthly contract. Minimum term applies. Your Pay monthly contract will set out the minimum term applicable to you.

To be eligible for GigaCube, you must also take a Gigacube plan, which is a Pay monthly mobile broadband plan on either a 30-day rolling contract or an 18-month fixed term contract.

Speeds: The speeds achieved while using GigaCube are subject to network coverage and capacity, and therefore may vary significantly. All devices connected to GigaCube share the same 5G/4G network signal, which means the more devices you have connected to your GigaCube, the slower your speeds may be. Please note that during peak periods of congestion we may also manage the Vodafone network by de-prioritising the internet traffic of certain users, which means your GigaCube speeds may be different to the speeds experienced using other services supplied over the Vodafone network.

Data allowance: If you are an existing Vodafone Pay monthly mobile customer, you can check your data allowance at any time by downloading the My Vodafone App, or by logging in to My Vodafone. If you are not an existing Vodafone Pay Monthly mobile customer, you can check your data allowance by logging in to My Vodafone.

You can also log in to My Account Controls at any time to set up data alerts.

If you reach the monthly data allowance limit for your GigaCube, we’ll activate a data cap to prevent you from going over that allowance and receiving any unexpected bills. We’ll also send a text to your preferred mobile number (which can be edited in My Account Controls) when you’ve almost reached your allowance – and another one as soon as you hit it. You can remove the data cap manually by logging into My Vodafone or using the My Vodafone app, but please note if you remove the cap we will automatically add it back within 24 hours to prevent you receiving unexpected charges. Please visit this page to find out more about bundle charges.

If you want to continue using your GigaCube after hitting your monthly data allowance, you can purchase extra data through My Vodafone.

GigaCube and your GigaCube plan are not eligible for international roaming, and any data can only be used on Vodafone’s UK network.

Your agreement with us

Your agreement is with Vodafone Limited, registered in England under number 1471587 at Vodafone House, The Connection, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14 2FN.

It’s made up of these Terms and Charges Guide which cover the SIM card and any services you use in your plan.

It doesn’t cover any equipment. However, see “equipment subsidy” below. We’ll send these to you by post or email. We also encourage you to take a look at our Returns, Privacy, Acceptable Use and Mobile Broadband Traffic Management Policies, which also make up your “Agreement” with us. You can find these documents at www.mailaes.com/terms-and-conditions

Joining us and charges

The basics:  When you join us, we’ll agree certain things with you and set them out in your Order Form or Welcome letter/email. These documents will include important information like: 1. how long we’ll provide our services to you and the minimum period you have agreed to stay with us; 2. your chosen services and how much these will cost you every month; 3. additional services you have chosen as part of your plan, when they start and end and when you’ll be charged for these; and 4. any upfront charges you’ve paid or may have to pay for your equipment.

Charging:  Your Charges Guide sets out current pricing information about out-of-plan charges (if applicable) as well as charges for additional services which are not included in your monthly plan charge. All these charges will be added to your bill as and when you use the services.

Payment:  You’ll need to pay for all charges within 7 days of the date of your bill. We ask that you pay by direct debit – if you wish to pay by other means, please contact us. Where VAT applies, it will be included in the charges. If you pay late, we’ll charge interest of 2% above the base rate of Barclays Bank each year and you’ll also need to pay a reasonable charge to compensate us for the administration costs incurred (see your Charges Guide).

During your agreement with us

Using the services: You’re responsible for other people that use your equipment and services which are only for your personal non-commercial use. We own the SIM number and the SIM card which we can change at any time and you may only use equipment that is approved for use on our network. For more information on using our services and restrictions please review our Acceptable Use Policy.

Changes to your terms, services or charges.

We may change the Agreement, our services, or charges at any time. We’ll tell you beforehand unless it relates to additional services or out of plan services you don’t use regularly. The charges may change as follows:

• Plan charge (data allowance):  Each April your monthly plan charge will increase by an amount equal to the retail prices index (RPI) rate published by the Office for National Statistics in March. We will apply that RPI rate adjustment from your April bill. If the RPI rate is a decrease, your monthly plan charge will not be reduced.

• Out of plan services:  We may increase charges for out of plan services at any time.

• Additional services: Charges for additional services may change from time to time and may be outside of Vodafone’s control so you can check our website for the latest prices. If we change your plan charge, out of plan charges, our services or the Agreement you may have a right to end the Agreement without paying a termination charge (although you’ll need to pay for your equipment subsidy). Please see “Leaving Us” below for more information.

Problems with our services

We’ll provide our services with reasonable skill and care. However, our services are not fault-free and are not available everywhere in the UK. Please check the predicted coverage in your area using our coverage checker. There are a number of reasons why you may find problems with the services and these include moving home or work, weather conditions, damage to our network, the number of people using the network at the same time and so on. Please contact us if you experience a service issue and we’ll attempt to fix it. If we have to interrupt our services for maintenance or we cause a technical fault on our network, you may be entitled to a partial credit of your plan charge based on the number of days you are without our services. If you are experiencing a materially degraded service for an unreasonable period of time, please read our “Leaving Us” section below. We’ll not be responsible for any loss of service due to something outside our reasonable control. To receive a partial credit of your charges or terminate the Agreement, you must report to us a severe disruption which we will assess against your typical usage history. We may offer you alternative equipment to address service quality.

Lost or stolen equipment.

If your SIM card is lost or stolen, you must tell us as soon as possible so we can suspend our services and stop someone else using it. Your maximum liability for charges incurred up until you notify us will be as follows: Notification within 24hrs: £100 maximum. Notification 24+hrs – 5days: £500 maximum. Notification 5 days+: all charges until you have reported to us. You’ll also continue to pay all the remaining plan charges for our services for the minimum period, even if your SIM card or equipment is lost or stolen.

Leaving us / suspending the services

Cancelling, returns and faulty equipment: Please read our Returns Policy for details on how to do this. It also sets out what to do if your equipment is faulty and how you can return your equipment or get your equipment fixed or replaced.

If you want to end the Agreement.

Because you simply want to leave us: If you’re outside of your minimum period, you can cancel at any time but you’ll need to give us 30 days’ notice. If you are within your minimum period, you’ll need to pay a termination fee. Your Charges Guide gives you a calculation to work out how much this will be.

Because of the quality of our services: If the service is materially degraded for an unreasonable period of time you may be able to leave the Agreement early without paying a termination charge (although you’ll need to pay for your equipment subsidy). Contact us to discuss your options.

Because of changes:  If we, (i) increase your monthly plan charge more than once per year or by more than the RPI rate; (ii) increase your out of plan charges or change our services or the Agreement to your material detriment, you’ll have a right to leave the Agreement early without paying a termination fee (although you’ll need to pay for your equipment subsidy). We’ll let you know if this is the case and what to do before the changes are made. If you take no action within 30 days of us telling you about the changes, you’ll be considered to have accepted those changes.

Equipment subsidy:  All the information required to calculate your equipment subsidy is set out in your Welcome Letter. The subsidy you pay will be 1/18th of the original value of the equipment less any up-front payment you made towards it, multiplied by the number of months left of your minimum period at the time the agreement ends. We’ll add this charge to your final bill.

If we want to suspend our services or end the Agreement.

We may suspend our services or end the Agreement if

1. you don’t pay any charges on time;
2. you don’t do something fundamental that you have to do under the Agreement;
3. you use any of our services in a way that may damage or affect the operation of our network; or
4. you become bankrupt or make an arrangement with creditors. Where we end the Agreement in this way termination fees will apply. We may need to suspend our services if asked to do so by regulators or if required by law.

We may end the Agreement if we are permanently unable to provide our services to you. You won’t have to pay a termination fee in this case although you’ll need to pay for your equipment subsidy
