8.1.In mobile telecommunications the possibilities for building up connections and the quality and properties of connections cannot be the same in all places at all times. The differences may depend, among other things, on the Mobile Handsets used, the radio coverage of the Mobile Network being used (which can be affected by, among other things, the location or presence in a building), the quantity of telecommunications traffic and atmospheric conditions.

8.2.In mobile telecommunications the transport of information takes place wholly or partly through the air. The Contracting Party accepts that transported information can be received by parties other than those for which it was intended. V-TELL will apply and support technologies, within the technical standards of the Mobile Networks used, that impede the perusal of transmitted information by third parties.

8.3.The Contracting Party can utilize the option to use his Connection, possibly with regard to certain Services, in another country (international roaming) in the cases where V-TELL has provided for this. This option and the associated rates and terms and conditions can vary from one Service Proposition to another. The Contracting Party can use the Services of the foreign provider concerned, with due regard for the use options and quality characteristics that are offered by this provider and the applicable laws and regulations of that country. V-TELL is entitled to make changes in the areas and providers where use can be made of this option and also in the Services provided.

8.4.V-TELL is entitled to specify limits for the use of Services, in particular Content Services, that arise out of the technology used for the Service concerned, the nature of the Service or the Mobile Handsets used by the Contracting Party.

8.5.V-TELL will use its best efforts to provide Service with as little disruption as possible. However it is technically impossible to prevent all Service malfunctions or other limitations to the use of the Service. Liability for the non-functioning or not proper functioning of services only exists within the limits of these General Terms and Conditions or in so far as V-TELL and the Contracting Party have made explicit provisions for this in a further contract, to the extend permitted by law.

8.6.V-TELL makes use of the telecommunications network of third party suppliers for the delivery of the Services. V-TELL and its third party suppliers may temporarily put (a part of) the Network out of operation for the purposes of maintenance. V-TELL will limit this to a minimum and where this is nevertheless necessary and reasonably possible V-TELL will give timely notification if this shutdown has noticeable implications for the Contracting Party.

8.7.As soon as possible after V-TELL becomes aware of them, V-TELL will investigate malfunctions and resolve them to the best of its ability.

8.8.The costs of investigating and resolving malfunctions will be borne by V-TELL.

8.9.V-TELL owes Contracting Party a compensation fee (as meant in article 7.1a of the Telecommunication Act) in the event of a malfunction of the Services which results in the Services being down for a period of time longer than 12 continuous hours. This compensation fee shall be for each 24 hour period, per 24 hour period:

  • for Services for which a monthly Fee applies: 1/30 part of the monthly Fee, with a minimum of EURO 1,- and
  • for Services for which a prepaid Fee applies: EURO 0.50, with a minimum of EURO 1,-.

8.10.If applicable, V-TELL shall pay the abovementioned compensation upon Contracting Party’s request and if the disturbance of the Network ocurred in the place where Contracting Party’s residential address is (as registered by V-TELL). No right to compensation arises from disturbances of the Network as a result of flood, terrorist attacks or war.
