This Contract shall commence when Vodafone connects you to the Vodafone telecommunications network. Please note that various related Vodafone products and services and third party services may be subject to additional terms and conditions which you are advised to read.
    3. Vodafone reserves the right to alter any terms of this Contract for legal, technical, operational or commercial reasons, or to terminate any package or change its tariffs, on 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 the notice period, subject to payment by you of all Charges due to date. Please note that Vodafone agents are not authorised to amend this Contract or to agree any provision which is inconsistent herewith. Your continued use of the service signifies your acceptance of any amendment.
    4. This Contract is personal to you. You shall not assign or otherwise transfer the Contract in whole or in part. Vodafone may freely transfer this Contract without notice.
  2. What services can you expect and are there any service restrictions?
    1. Depending on the capability of your equipment you may be able to make or receive call/texts or transmit data over the Vodafone network from time to time.
    2. Due to the nature of mobile services Vodafone is not in a position to guarantee or offer any minimum service levels. The quality and the availability of the Service and related Vodafone products and services is subject to certain limitations, including the proximity of base stations and circumstances beyond Vodafone’s reasonable control including, but not limited to, geographic and atmospheric conditions and the functional capability of your equipment. Vodafone does not represent or warrant that the operation of the Service or related Vodafone products and services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free or that it will meet your specific requirements. In particular Vodafone does not represent or warrant that calls will not be dropped, 3G or GPRS sessions will not be lost, transmission of data calls shall occur at any particular speed or that all traffic can or will be transmitted by the network. Vodafone does not accept responsibility for the security of 3G or GPRS Sessions. You conduct any 3G or GPRS session at your own risk and is solely responsible for adopting such appropriate security measures against unauthorised access to and interference with equipment (or associated software/hardware and data) as may be necessary.
    3. Vodafone may modify or suspend the service wholly or partially, with or without notice, if such action is deemed necessary by Vodafone (e.g. for maintenance, security or other valid reasons) or if Vodafone is requested by an authorised authority or required to do so by legislation or for technical, maintenance, security or other valid reasons. All reasonable efforts shall be made to minimise such service disruptions. You shall remain liable for all charges during any such service disruptions unless Vodafone decides otherwise.
    4. Vodafone reserves the right, without prejudice to any other provisions of this Contract, to issue such reasonable instructions concerning the use of the service as may be necessary in the interests of safety, quality of service, other customers or telecommunications services as a whole, or for any other valid reason Vodafone deems sufficient.
    5. You may not make certain types of Calls using the Equipment. Please refer to Vodafone’s Customer Guide for details. In particular you should note that international calls and calls to premium numbers will not be permitted when a customer first subscribes to services from Vodafone. If you wish to have access to such additional services you should contact Vodafone’s customer care in order to lift the bar.
    6. All incoming voice calls which are not answered or which are received when the equipment is busy, switched off or out of coverage will be automatically diverted to the Vodafone voicemail service and this functionality may not be altered.
    7. Vodafone makes no representation and gives no warranty as to the content, quality, availability, suitability or timeliness of any third party service. Vodafone reserves the right to suspend or withdraw access to all or any such third party services on a temporary or permanent basis at any time. Your use of such third party services is at your sole risk and Vodafone shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage suffered arising from the use of such services. Vodafone may be required to charge you for such services.
    8. Vodafone continuously monitors network performance to ensure that the service received by customers is not impacted through a minority of users placing high demand on network resources (e.g. large bandwidths over long periods or exceptionally high call volumes). Any such high-demand users can expect to experience reduced speeds at peak times .Peak times are subject to ongoing change based on actual network demands. This service does not support ‘calls over the internet' or data sharing. If you want to use data services like making calls over the internet or sharing data files over the internet you should choose a tailored data tariff or add-on.
    9. The service includes access to emergency services (you should call 112) free of charge. However, access to emergency services requires there to be some power in your handset battery.
    10. The various customer support services provided by Vodafone change from time to time but details of the most up to date services, the means of obtaining these services and any associated charges are available at http://www.vodafone.ie/helpsupport/contactus/.
  3. How will you pay for the services and what happens if regular payments aren’t made?
    1. Vodafone offers a range of tariff plans with different rates and methods of charging. Charging rates and methods may vary depending on the type of call/data/text sent or received. Vodafone may from time to time vary the charges, the tariff plans (and tariff rules applicable thereto), rates or methods of payment and the terms of same. Vodafone reserves the right to cease offering and/or replace its tariff plans from time to time. Existing tariff plans may not always be available. You are advised to read the relevant Vodafone tariff rules and rates which are available from Vodafone. You may change from one tariff plan to certain other tariff plans subject to the tariff rules applicable thereto.
    2. Some independent retailers may apply a surcharge to call credit sold in their stores. Vodafone does not control the price at which credit is sold by independent third parties and any surcharge is at the discretion of such third party.
    3. You shall be liable for all charges incurred by you personally or otherwise through the use of the equipment calculated according to the relevant charging option (whether or not incurred by the Customer personally).
    4. Each 160 characters (or part thereof) of each non-MMS text message in the English language is charged as a separate text message. The number of characters allowed per text message may be reduced where the default language is changed from English. Please note that text messages sent over MMS are charged by reference to the volume of data sent. Whilst Vodafone will make every effort to ensure that all text messages are delivered, you shall be liable for all charges in respect of any text messages that are not delivered.
    5. Please note that transmissions over 3G or GPRS are charged on the basis of the volume of data/pages sent and/or received by your equipment over the network determination of the volume of data/pages shall be conclusive. For reasons beyond Vodafone's control, volumes may vary depending on the type of equipment used. Volume indications given on handset screens may not be accurate. If there is a minimum charge for each session conducted using your equipment and such session is terminated for any reason, the minimum charge may apply again if the connection is re-established.
    6. You may apply call credit to your account by means of any of the methods made available by Vodafone from time to time and may thereafter make Calls for a certain fixed period as advised by Vodafone from time to time (please refer to Vodafone's Customer Guide for details). The amount of the call credit will reduce as a result of Calls being made. No Calls may be made once all call credit has been used (with the exception of Calls to the emergency services). You may continue to receive Calls for a period of 8 months (or such other period as Vodafone may advise from time to time) following the date on which Call credit is last applied to your account. Top Up codes must be activated within two years of the issue date. After this period, it will not be possible to redeem any credit associated with the code.
    7. A minimum level of Call credit (as specified by Vodafone from time to time) must be applied to your Account at such intervals as Vodafone may specify from time to time failing which no Calls may be made (please refer to Vodafone's Customer Guide for details). All unused Call credit will be carried forward at the time Call credit is applied to your Account provided the minimum required level of Call credit has been applied to your Account at least once during the specified interval. Call credit may only be transferred to another Account owned by you in the event that Vodafone is satisfied that your equipment has been lost or stolen. Call credit may not be transferred to any third party account. If the equipment remains inactive or no call credit is applied for a period of 8 months or such other period as Vodafone may advise, all unused Call credit will be lost.
    8. Equipment is supplied for use on the Vodafone network. Certain network termination charges may apply in the event that you wish to use the Equipment on another mobile network and the amount of Call credit applied to your Account up to the date of termination is less than the amount specified by Vodafone from time to time.
    9. Please note that delays may occur in charging for certain text messaging services. This may result in an immediate reduction in your Call credit when Call credit is next applied to the Account.
    10. Any customer that has opted in to receiving marketing communications and tops up may at Vodafone’s absolute discretion be opted in to Cherry Points without further notice.

2. Service

2.1 The quality and the availability of the Service and related Vodafone products and services is subject to certain limitations, including the proximity of base stations and circumstances beyond Vodafone’s reasonable control including, but not limited to, geographic and atmospheric conditions and the functional capability of Customer Equipment. Vodafone does not represent or warrant that the operation of the Service or related Vodafone products and services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free or that it will meet any Customers specific requirements. In particular Vodafone does not represent or warrant that Calls will not be dropped, 3G or GPRS Sessions will not be lost, transmission of data calls shall occur at any particular speed or that all traffic can or will be transmitted by the Network. Vodafone does not accept responsibility for the security of 3G or GPRS Sessions. The Customer conducts any 3G or GPRS Session at its own risk and is solely responsible for adopting such appropriate security measures against unauthorised access to and interference with Equipment (or associated software/hardware and data) as may be necessary.

2.2 Vodafone may modify or suspend the Service wholly or partially, with or without notice, if such action is deemed necessary by Vodafone (e.g. for maintenance, security or other valid reasons) or if Vodafone is requested by an authorised authority or required to do so by legislation or for technical, maintenance, security or other valid reasons. All reasonable efforts shall be made to minimise such Service disruptions. The Customer shall remain liable for all Charges during any such Service disruptions unless Vodafone decides otherwise.

2.3 Vodafone reserves the right, without prejudice to any other provisions of this Contract, to issue such reasonable instructions concerning the use of the Service as may be necessary in the interests of safety, quality of service, other customers or telecommunications services as a whole, or for any other valid reason Vodafone deems sufficient.

2.4 The Customer may not make certain types of Calls using the Equipment. Please refer to Vodafone’s Customer Guide for details.

2.5 All incoming voice calls which are not answered or which are received when the Equipment is busy, switched off or out of coverage will be automatically diverted to the Vodafone voicemail service and this functionality may not be altered.

2.6 Vodafone makes no representation and gives no warranty as to the content, quality, availability, suitability or timeliness of any Third Party Service. Vodafone reserves the right to suspend or withdraw access to all or any such Third Party Services on a temporary or permanent basis at any time. The Customer’s use of such Third Party Services is at the Customer’s sole risk and Vodafone shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Customer arising from the use of such services. Vodafone may be required to charge the Customer for such services.

2.7 Vodafone continuously monitors network performance to ensure that the service received by customers is not impacted through a minority of users placing high demand on network resources (e.g. large bandwidths over long periods). Any such high-demand users can expect to experience reduced speeds at peak times .Peak times are subject to ongoing change based on actual network demands. This service does not support ‘calls over the internet' or data sharing for any new customers or customers upgrading their tariff or Equipment from [10 March 2010] onwards. If you want to use data services like making calls over the internet or sharing data files over the internet you should choose a tailored data tariff or add-on.

3. Payment

3.1 The following payments shall apply:

  1. Vodafone shall normally offer a range of tariff plans with different rates and methods of charging. Charging rates and methods may vary depending on the type of Call sent or received. Vodafone may from time to time vary the Charges, the tariff plans (and tariff rules applicable thereto), rates or methods of payment and the terms of same. Vodafone reserves the right to cease offering and/or replace its tariff plans from time to time. Existing tariff plans may not always be available. You are advised to read the relevant Vodafone tariff rules and rates which are available from Vodafone.The Customer may change from one tariff plan to certain other tariff plans subject to the tariff rules applicable thereto.
  2. The Customer shall be liable for all Charges incurred by the Customer personally or otherwise through the use of the Equipment calculated according to the relevant charging option (whether or not incurred by the Customer personally).
  3. Each 160 characters (or part thereof) of each non-MMS text message in the English language is charged as a separate text message. The number of characters allowed per text message may be reduced where the default language is changed from English. Please note that text messages sent over MMS are charged by reference to the volume of data sent. Whilst Vodafone will make every effort to ensure that all text messages are delivered, the Customer shall be liable for all Charges in respect of any text messages that are not delivered.
  4. Please note that Calls over 3G or GPRS are charged on the basis of the volume of data/pages sent and/or received by the Customer’s Equipment over the Network determination of the volume of data/pages shall be conclusive. For reasons beyond Vodafone's control, volumes may vary depending on the type of Equipment used by the Customer. Volume indications given on handset screens may not be accurate. There will be a minimum charge for each 3G or GPRS Session conducted using the Customer's Equipment during which the Customer accesses non-Vodafone Call Content (except in the case of multi-media messaging Calls). If such a 3G or GPRS Session is terminated for any reason, the minimum charge shall apply again if it is re-established.
  5. The Customer may apply Call credit to their Account by means of any of the methods made available by Vodafone from time to time and may thereafter make Calls for a certain fixed period as advised by Vodafone from time to time (please refer to Vodafone's Customer Guide for details). The amount of the Call credit will reduce as a result of Calls being made. No Calls may be made once all Call credit has been used (with the exception of Calls to the emergency services and the Vodafone Talkback service). The Customer may continue to receive Calls for a period of 8 months (or such other period as Vodafone may advise from time to time) following the date on which Call credit is last applied to their Account. Top Up codes must be activated within two years of the issue date. After this period, it will not be possible to redeem any credit associated with the code.
  6. A minimum level of Call credit (as specified by Vodafone from time to time) must be applied to the Customer's Account at such intervals as Vodafone may specify from time to time failing which no Calls may be made by the Customer (please refer to Vodafone's Customer Guide for details). All unused Call credit will be carried forward at the time Call credit is applied to the Customer's Account provided the minimum required level of Call credit has been applied to the Customer's Account at least once during the specified interval. Call credit may only be transferred to another Account owned by the Customer in the event that Vodafone is satisfied that the Customer's Equipment has been lost or stolen. Call credit may not be transferred to any third party account. If the Equipment remains inactive or no call credit is applied for a period of 8 months or such other period as Vodafone may advise, all unused Call credit will be lost.
  7. Certain network termination charges may apply in the event that the Customer wishes to use the Equipment on another mobile network and the amount of Call credit applied to the Customer's Account up to the date of termination is less than the amount specified by Vodafone from time to time.
  8. Please note that delays may occur in charging for certain text messaging services. This may result in an immediate reduction in the Customer's Call credit when Call credit is next applied to the Account.
  9. Any customer that has opted in to receiving marketing communications and tops up after 15 March 2011 may also at Vodafone absolute discretion be opted in to Cherry Points without further notice to the customer.

In the event of any conflict the terms and conditions below shall prevail.

2. This Service is immediately available to all bill paying customers with the exception of Small to Medium Enterprise [SME] and Corporate customers in which case authorisation must be obtained via the account holder.

  1. Post Pay Customers must be connected to the Vodafone Network for a period greater than six months and
  2. The billing account of the Post Pay Customers must not be outstanding and the Post Pay Customer must have credit rating acceptable to Vodafone.

Where the Post Pay Customer attempting to use the Service does not satisfy the these criteria any requests or orders for a Top-Up to a Pay as you go Customer shall not be processed.

3. The Service allows Post Pay Customers to credit additional mobile credit to the pre-paid account of any eligible pre-paid subscribers to the Vodafone network (“Pay as you go Customers”) in specified Euro denominations (a “Top-Up”).

4. The Service can be used either on a once-off basis or as a scheduled regular top-up service.

5. The cost of the Service is the amount of the Top-Up which the Post Pay Customer requires to be credited to the Pay as you go customer’s account under the Service. Top-Ups may be requested in amounts of any denomination of €10, €20 and €40 [up to a maximum limit].

6. For once-off Top-Ups the Customer will be required to send the Top-Up request to 50228. The Top-Up request must consist of the mobile phone number of the Pay as you go Customer to which the Top-Up is to be granted along with the amount of the Top-Up. The Post Pay Customer will then receive a confirmation text message containing confirmation of the mobile phone number to which the Top-Up is to be granted and the amount of the Top-Up along with a unique ID code.

7. To complete the Top-Up the Post Pay Customer is required to reply to the confirmation text message with the unique ID code. If the unique ID code is not used within 24 hours of receipt it will expire.

8. Post pay customers may also use the Service on a once-off basis by accessing the My Vodafone website. The Customer will be required to provide the mobile phone number of the Pay as you go Customer to whom he or she wishes to grant the Top-Up and the amount of the Top-Up which will be credited to that customer’s pay as you go account.

9. Customers may also use the Service to schedule regular Top-Ups of mobile phone credit to a specified mobile phone number or numbers (to a maximum of 5 different mobile phone numbers). In order to use the Service in this way Customers must access the My Vodafone website and register the mobile phone numbers of the Pay as you go Customer and the amounts of the Top-Ups. The Customer may also decide the frequency of the scheduled Top-Ups (i.e. weekly, fortnightly or monthly).

10. Once a Top-Up request has been placed whether by text message or through the My Vodafone website it will be processed immediately and can not be cancelled. However Customers may at any time cancel any of the regular scheduled Top-Ups by accessing the My Vodafone website in advance of the time of the scheduled Top-Up and amending the details thereon.

11. Customers will be informed by text message when the Top-Up has been delivered to the relevant Pay as you go Customer. This message will include details of the amount of the Top-Up granted and the mobile phone number to which it has been granted.

12. The maximum amount of mobile phone credit (whether as a once-off Top-Up or regular scheduled Top-Up) which can be credited to Pay as you go Customers under the Service by an individual Post Pay Customers in any one calendar month will be at the sole discretion of Vodafone.

13. Pay as you go customers who do not want to receive Top-Ups may opt-out from the Service by contacting the Customer Care helpline 1747 (from a mobile) or 1850 20 40 20 (from a landline). Pay as you go Customers may also opt-out from the Service through registering on the My Vodafone website and www.vodafone.ie.

14. Customers using the Service will be billed the amount of the Top-Up granted to a Pay as you go Customer directly to their Vodafone account at the time of the delivery of the mobile phone credit to the Pay as you go Customer. Post Pay Customers using the Service will not be charged for text messages sending the Service Order unless the Customer is utilising Vodafone’s roaming service abroad in which case the charges will be as set out by the relevant network provider.

Important Note about the Post pay customers bill:

The billing for Top Me Up is processed in real time, so when a Top Up is applied to a Pay as you go customer - whether once off or scheduled - the Top Up amount is debited to the Post pay customer's account immediately i.e. on the next Direct Debit date even if a bill has already been issued. The reason for this is to avoid double counting VAT on your bill.

Example:

A Postpaid customer is on a Direct Debit schedule to pay his Vodafone bill, the due date is 10th March He receives a bill for €50 on 7th March The customer Tops Up his son with €10 credit on 8th March On 10th March, his Direct Debit date, a total of €60 is taken from his bank account i.e. the original bill amount of €50 plus the €10 Top Up.

15. By using the Service Post Pay Customers are deemed to consent to the disclosure by Vodafone of their mobile phone number to the holder of the mobile phone number to which the Top-Up is granted.

16. Insofar as it is permissible by law, Vodafone shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage, whether foreseen or unforeseen, directly resulting from:

  1. any failure, interruption, delay, suspension or restriction in providing the Service to the Customer which is due to any act of God, government control restrictions or prohibitions, any other act or omission of any public or regulatory authority (whether local, national, international or supranational), an act of default of any supplier, agent or other person, strikes, work stoppages or labour disputes or any other cause whatsoever which is beyond the reasonable control of Vodafone;
  2. any claim arising out of any act or omission by the Customer, its servants or agents or arising out of any reliance placed by such persons on the Service;
  3. any valid suspension of the Service.

17. Vodafone reserves the right to withdraw the Service generally or from any particular customer at any time and to vary or amend any element of this Service at any time without further notice. These terms and conditions may be varied or amended by Vodafone for any valid commercial technical or operational reason.

18. Vodafone may, without notice, suspend the availability of the Service to the Customer wholly or partially for any valid reason, including without limitation, where:

  1. the Customer fails to pay Vodafone any sums due under any other contract with Vodafone on the due date specified in an invoice, notwithstanding the issue of any invoices thereafter; or
  2. Vodafone reasonably believes that the Customer is unable to comply with payment obligations, represents a credit risk or if Vodafone is unable to contact the Customer following reasonable efforts; or
  3. the Customer fails to observe any term or obligation set out herein or any relevant law.

19. Vodafone shall exercise such reasonable skill and care in the provision of the Service as may be expected of a reasonably competent mobile telecommunications operator. Except as expressly provided in these terms and conditions, all conditions, terms, warranties and representations whether express or implied by law in relation to the provision of the Service are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law.
