    First, here are some key points you should note:

     

    1. AGREEMENT
      • The agreement between both parties is legally binding, and is governed by the laws of Barbados.
      • Your subscription for your chosen service(s) has a minimum period, which starts on the date your service(s) are installed and successfully activated. The length of the minimum period is 12 months, which you agreed to when you ordered your Digicel + Products and Service(s). After the minimum period, this agreement will continue until either you or we end it in accordance with the terms set out in this agreement.
      • You must keep the Digicel + Service for the duration of the minimum period, unless you or we are allowed to end this agreement earlier, under the terms and conditions outlined in this agreement.

We may charge this amount directly to any credit or debit card which you have provided us with, and by entering into this agreement, you are authorising us to do so. Alternatively, we will levy this charge onto your final bill with Digicel +. We will give you reasonable notice before making any charge.
      • Digicel + reserves the right to amend or change the service(s), or these terms and conditions, subject to notifying you of such amendments.

     

    1. OBTAINING THE SERVICES
      • We will make every effort to meet the date agreed with you for installation or activation of the service(s), in the event that we have to change the installation date we will contact you, in advance, to notify you of any changes. 
      • You agree that you or a person authorised by you (who is 18 or over) will be present when we install the equipmentat your home. You further agree that anyone authorised to represent you may also be required to make decisions on your behalf about equipment, wiring, work required to complete your install, in your absence. We are entitled to assume that any person other than you who is present at installation is authorised to represent you.
      • Where we need to install equipmentat your home, we will make every effort to fit the equipment where you prefer. However, this may not be possible because of technical or other reasons. If this is the case, we will connect the equipment as we see fit. Please do not move any equipment. Should you wish to alter the routing of any existing equipment such as cables or wall sockets, you must contact us.
      • To provide the service(s), the equipment(e.g. a set-top box or modem) must be connected to equipment belonging to you (e.g. a television or computer). You are responsible for ensuring your equipment is working properly. You agree to provide and pay for suitable facilities and all necessary electrical and other installations and fittings (including power outlets or sockets) for the equipment. You must follow our instructions for this.

      • Where you are unable to take part in the set-up of your service(s), but are with us at the install, you authorise us to have access to your equipment to perform such set-up (which may include the installation of software) and to check that those service(s)are working properly. You confirm that you will have prepared your equipment, and will follow our instructions to prepare your equipment, so that we can perform the set-up properly.

Further, we are entitled to assume that all necessary consents have been obtained unless we have been provided with something in writing stating otherwise.
      • Our obligation to provide the service(s)may also be subject to survey. If said survey shows that the service(s) require additional time and resources to be installed or connected at your home, or if a non-standard installation is required, we may delay any installation date to ensure we can complete the work correctly. We also reserve the right to charge an additional installation fee, which would have to be paid in full before the installation is completed. We will notify you as soon as possible of the delay and new date, charges (if applicable) and approach.
      • Where a survey deems that service will not be possible, we may cancel any installation date we have given you and terminate this agreement. You will be notified of this as soon as possible after the survey.
