the Carrier is required to undertake, including any work described under the
headings “Fee for Service Charges” or “Service Charges” in Product Material;

B.1.13. “Term” means the term of the Agreement,
meaning the period from when the Customer signs the Product Application, plus
the term of months or years as set out in the Product Application for the
relevant Internet Connectivity Product, noting that the stated term of months
or years set out in the Product Application starts at the time when the Product
is available for the Customer to use, at the point where the Customer Premises
Equipment begins, regardless of whether the Customer has completed any work
which the Customer is to undertake in relation to the Customer Premises
Equipment (or other work which the Customer is to undertake) to take advantage
of and gain benefit from the Product within the premises of the Customer.

B.1.14. “Upstream Contract” means the contract

C.1. The provisions of clauses 1. – 3. of the
Trading Terms (under the headings “DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION”, “APPLICATIONS
OF THESE CONDITIONS”, and “COMMITMENT TERM”) still apply to Internet
Connectivity Products.

The Customer acknowledges that it is aware that
Connected Platforms is a Reseller for Carriers (and a Reseller for other
Resellers) and that Connected Platforms:

C.4.1. must contract with a Carrier (or with a
Reseller), for a fixed term equal to the Term in order to be able to provide
any Internet Connectivity Product to the Customer; and

C.4.2. does not control all elements of the
connectivity path and depends on the Carrier (and on any relevant Reseller) to
perform their obligations to Connected Platforms, in order for Connected
Platforms to be able to perform its obligations to the Customer under this
Agreement; and

accepts that the responsibilities and
obligations of Connected Platforms under this Agreement are put into context
and are qualified by those acknowledged factors. The Customer confirms and
acknowledges that Connected Platforms is not responsible for events which it
does not control, and that Connected Platforms liability to the Customer and
any responsibility of Connected Platforms for any Loss or Claim to the Customer
are limited and reduced by those acknowledged factors.

D. Termination

D.1. The provisions of Clause 4 of the General
Terms and Conditions (under the heading “Termination”) do not apply to Internet
Connectivity Products.

D.2. The Product and the Upstream Contract
cannot be cancelled (except in very limited circumstances) during the Term, and
therefore this agreement cannot be cancelled or terminated, except as
specifically contemplated in this Agreement.

D.3. The Product cannot be moved to another
location, so the Customer acknowledges that it is aware that if it relocates
its premises during the Term, then it will nevertheless have to pay for the
Product at the Customer’s previous location, in addition to any relevant
product at its new location.

D.4. After the Term, if Connected Platforms has
continued to supply the Product to the Customer, then either party may
terminate this agreement by 30 days’ notice to the other party.

D.5.
If the Customer wishes to terminate this Agreement during the Term, then it may
request Connected Platforms to provide it with a payout figure, including break
costs, for doing so. Connected Platforms may elect to (but is not obliged to)
provide the Customer with a payout figure which will include the cost to Connected
Platforms of the Upstream Contract throughout the Term, as well as a factor for
any lost profit to Connected Platforms or other costs to Connected Platforms
arising from such early termination. If Connected Platforms elects
to provide such a payout figure, and if the Customer pays the relevant payout
figure to Connected Platforms at the time identified by Connected Platforms,
then Connected Platforms will allow termination of this Agreement in return for
that payment.
