Contracting Parties

This Agreement is made between; (i) SCC Broadband Limited (Company number 480289, registered office Caherdaniel, Co. Kerry, Ireland V93YTC7) (“SCC Broadband”) and (ii) the party contracting to accept and pay for services from SCC Broadband (“You”).

General Terms & Conditions

Set out within this document are the general terms and conditions (the “General Terms”) which apply to all SCC Broadband broadband services (the “Services”).

Other Specific Terms & Conditions

In addition to the General Terms, other more specific terms may apply and relate to the specific Service ordered by You (the “Specific Terms”).

Binding agreement

The General Terms together with the Order Process and any Service specific terms and conditions, tariff plans or promotions constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between SCC Broadband and You. If any of the Services ordered by You are used by You or anybody else (with or without Your permission), that shall also be deemed to constitute an acceptance of this Agreement.

Commencement and Term

From the Commencement Date, You shall be bound by and deemed to have accepted the Agreement.
Subject to termination in accordance with these General Terms, the Agreement shall continue for the Minimum Term of the applicable Services and thereafter shall continue on a month by month basis until terminated in accordance with these General Terms.

Changes to the Services or the Agreement

SCC Broadband may vary or change the Agreement or any part of the Services for any commercial, technical or operational reason and any material changes shall be notified to You in advance.
These General Terms can only be changed by SCC Broadband giving You thirty (30) days’ notice. In the event of any such alteration, You shall have the option to terminate the Service without penalty during that 30 day notice period, subject to payment by You of all Charges due to date. Your continued use of the Service after this 30 day notice period has expired signifies Your acceptance of any amendment.

Wholesale Providers Requirements

The Service may rely on a Wholesale Provider of fibre access to allow provision of the Services. You must have a service delivery address located within a geographic area covered by the network reach of the Wholesale Provider’s network, and be capable of a standard installation type as determined by the Wholesale Provider.

Moving Home

SCC Broadband shall be under no obligation, to provide You with the Services at Your new address if You move home, but may attempt to do so if it is within our serviceable area. If You move home and SCC Broadband does not provide You with Services at Your new address You remain liable to pay the applicable Charges in relation to the Minimum Period for the Services provided to Your old address. If SCC Broadband does agree to provide the Services to Your new address, You shall be entered into a new Minimum Term contract for all Services associated with Your account from the date of activation in the new address.

Transferring the account

If You would like to transfer ownership of this Agreement You must complete and SCC Broadband must accept a valid transfer of ownership application. It is also possible to change and amend the account holder details for Your SCC Broadband customer account. Please email us at [email protected] to discuss transfer or account amendments.

Timing of Installation

Timelines for Service installation will vary depending on the circumstances affecting the delivery mechanism for You. SCC Broadband will, on receipt of an order, endeavour to provide You with an estimated timeline within which it will deliver the Services. SCC Broadband will use its reasonable efforts to install the Services in accordance with the timeline it agrees with You, but such dates are estimates only and SCC Broadband cannot guarantee that it will meet such dates. SCC Broadband will work with the Wholesale Provider to provide the initial connection to You as soon as possible and in any event within ninety (90) days of the date on Your Order Process or as otherwise agreed with You. If using commercially reasonable efforts, we do not provide You with the initial connection within such 90 day period, SCC Broadband shall not be liable, but the Agreement may be terminated with immediate effect without penalty between SCC Broadband and You.

Engineer Visits for Installation

If an Engineer is required to visit Your home or place of business (the “Property”) to install the Equipment (“Engineer Visit”), You will be notified with an initial appointment date and time (within normal working hours) for the Engineer Visit. If You wish to reschedule this initial appointment, You can do so prior to the appointment. Any charges incurred by SCC Broadband that may arise from rescheduling the appointment will be passed on to You. Charges are likely to arise when rescheduling wholesale fibre service appointments and these charges will be passed on to You in the event that SCC Broadband has been charged due to the rescheduling of an appointment. The Engineer must be allowed access to the Property in order to allow for the installation of Equipment and so that they may carry out any works necessary for the provision of such Services.

Preparing the property for the engineer

You accept full responsibility to ensure that there is a clear and safe environment for the Engineer to carry out the installation of the Service, including moving any obstructing furniture prior to the arrival of the Engineer. The Engineer is forbidden from engaging in such activity and SCC Broadband reserve the right to charge for any additional time spent on site by the Engineer as a result of having to wait, or as a result of having to reschedule the appointment due to the Property not being ready for the installation. You may require Equipment in order to receive the Services. Where this Equipment has been posted to You or delivered to your Address, it is Your responsibility to have the Equipment at the Property prior to the Engineer Visit.

Engineer Works

The installation of the Service may require works to be carried out on the Property, which may include a change of socket in the wall or drilling a hole through the wall of Your property and affixing a coupler box to an external and internal wall and/or any other works which may be required to complete the installation as deemed necessary by the Engineer. The Engineer will utilise any suitable available pre-existing overhead and underground infrastructure where possible, although in certain circumstances, underground digs may be required. Where no underground ducts are available, an overhead install solution may be used between homes and/or businesses and/or from a power line, pole onto the façade of the Property. You must be present at the Property at the arranged time for install, in order to facilitate access, as required and to acknowledge that the works have been carried out to a suitable standard. SCC Broadband has no responsibility for carrying out any remedial works to the Property after cessation of the Service and/or removal of Equipment.

Third Party Consent to Engineer Visits and Works

It is Your responsibility to obtain any third party consents as may be required by the Wholesale Provider. Failure to obtain these consents shall result in this Agreement being terminated with immediate effect. Where rental premises are concerned, it is the responsibility of the tenant to inform and seek permission in writing from the landlord regarding the installation of Equipment, including any required alterations to the premises. Any charges that arise from the Wholesale Provider or SCC Broadband in facilitating an installation or service provided in part or in whole must be paid in full by You should consent not have been adequately sought from the property owner/landowner.

No liability for engineer works or power interruption

The Service installation will be completed by the Engineer. SCC Broadband does not accept any liability whatsoever for any loss or damage that may occur to the Property during the Service Installation.
Your power supply may be interrupted during the installation process and during the provisioning of a Service You may experience a temporary loss of existing services. SCC Broadband shall not be held liable to You for any losses or damages howsoever arising during such period.

Cancellation and penalty charges re Engineer Visit

You will be liable to pay a penalty charge to SCC Broadband in each of the following cases;

If You have not provided the necessary cancellation notice period in respect of the scheduled Engineer Visit appointment (i.e. Up to 4pm of the previous working day) or do not answer your phone within the scheduled appointment window;
If the Engineer cannot gain access to the Property due to a 3rd party access issue, for example within an apartment block or site access issue;
If You refuse to allow the Engineer onto Your Property on the agreed appointment date;
In the event an extension kit is required and the Property has not been cleared for the Engineer to work. This can include the removal of furniture or carpet etc.
Where the environment is considered dangerous or unsafe to the Engineer, the works may not proceed but the cancellation/penalty charge may be levied regardless.

Provision of the services and Service levels

SCC Broadband will, once installed, use reasonable skill and care in supplying the Services, but there is no guarantee of fault free performance. SCC Broadband does not warrant that the Services will be suitable for specific customer applications, that the operation of the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free or that the Services will support or be compatible with any applications or other services which the Customer uses in conjunction with the Services.
Due to the nature of the Service, it is often not possible for SCC Broadband to fix a particular fault in a guaranteed timeframe. However, SCC Broadband will use all reasonable endeavours to repair faults in a timely fashion, but is not liable for compensation or refunds to You if targeted service quality levels are not met.

Unauthorised third party access or interference

SCC Broadband shall on a network level make reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorised logical access to the Services by third parties but shall have no liability to You for any loss or damage caused by unauthorised third party logical access to Services or the Equipment. Security of devices and Equipment is your responsibility.

Fair Usage

To ensure equal internet access for all subscribers, SCC Broadband operates a fair usage policy. Fair usage establishes an equitable balance in internet access across high speed internet services for all subscribers. A fair usage policy also exists in relation to voice packages. To ensure this equity, certain types of traffic such as email and browsing may be prioritised over other traffic. SCC Broadband provides the Service on a “best effort” basis and does not guarantee upload or download speeds.

A copy of the fair usage policy is available on the website https://www.sccbroadband.ie/fair-usage-policy. Article 4.1 (d) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 requires SCC Broadband to provide a clear and comprehensible explanation of the minimum, normally available, maximum and advertised download and upload speed of the internet access services in the case of fixed networks, or of the estimated maximum and advertised download and upload speed of the internet access services in the case of mobile networks, and how significant deviations from the respective advertised download and upload speeds could impact the exercise of the end-users’ rights. SCC Broadband complies with that obligation by the publication of its Broadband Speeds Information document on its website: https://www.sccbroadband.ie/broadband-speeds.

Those speeds form part of these General Terms and are the contracted speeds for your Service.

If you experience any continuous issue or regularly recurring difference with the minimum speed communicated for your access line then please contact our Technical Support Team and we’ll will attempt to diagnose and resolve your issue. Should SCC Broadband Support Team be unable to rectify the non-conformity of performance and should this non-conformity become continuous or a regular recurrence, SCC Broadband shall offer the Customer the option of early termination of their contract without penalty. Any complaints with regard to minimum speed of Service should be submitted, and will be processed, in accordance with the SCC Broadband Code of Practice, available on the SCC Broadband website.

In addition to the termination rights set out above, the Customer may (subject to obtaining your own legal advice) have other rights, under common law or domestic or European legislation, to take legal proceedings for breach of contract and to seek damages or rescission of the contract, or may have other potential remedies under consumer protection legislation, such as the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act, 1980 (as amended). Any such remedies may be subject to limitations on SCC Broadband’s liability, as set out in these General Terms or otherwise applicable pursuant to law.

Suspension of the Service

SCC Broadband is entitled to temporarily suspend the Services during periods of repair, essential maintenance or alteration or improvement to the Services or otherwise in accordance with the law.
