4. What we will provide to you
A USIM and Account
4.1 We will open an Account for you and provide you with a USIM and, except where you have transferred your previous mobile number to us, a new mobile telephone number and other service numbers, if applicable.
4.2 The USIM remains our property and we may recall it for upgrades or modifications or in other exceptional circumstances so that we can continue to provide the 3 Services to you. We may also recall the USIM when your agreement ends. The USIM is only provided for use with Handsets and Other Devices approved for use on the 3 Network and may be locked so that it cannot be used on an Other Provider's network or with an unapproved handset or other device, such as a GSM handset. This is to maintain the integrity of the 3 Network and to ensure that we can provide 3 Services to you.
3 Services
4.3 Once you are Connected, we will provide you with access to 3 Services. 3 Services include the following services if you have requested them and we approve:
(a) Optional Services; and
(b) Age Restricted Services, provided that you are 18 years of age or over.
4.4 Full details of the range of 3 Services are contained in our Product Guide which will be made available to you before your agreement commences.
4.5 You will also be able to upload and send your own content using the 3 Services. So that we can supply the 3 Services to you, you grant us a royalty free, world-wide licence, for as long as is necessary to store and transmit any content you upload on the 3 Services. If you choose to use the POP3 polling features in our Messaging Services, you are appointing us as your agent for enabling the POP3 polling services to be provided to you.
4.6 We may change or withdraw some, or part, of the 3 Services from time to time because the Content supplied to us varies or in order to improve the 3 Services that we provide to you.
Limitations to 3 Services
4.7 We will always try to make the 3 Services available to you. However, there are inherent limitations involved in the supply of mobile telephone services including our supply of 3 Services. Most 3 Services are only available within the 3 Network coverage area. Limited 3 Services are available while Roaming. Within the 3 Network coverage area there may be places where access to 3 Services is limited or unavailable. For more information about coverage see our Product Guide and coverage maps which will be made available to you before your agreement commences. Before you enter into your agreement with us, you should be satisfied that the 3 Network coverage meets your requirements.
Roaming
4.8 Roaming may occur when you are outside of the 3 Network coverage area in Australia, or at places within the 3 Network coverage area where 3 Network reception is unavailable. When overseas you may Roam in countries where we have Roaming arrangements in place.
4.9 When Roaming, you agree to comply with all your obligations in relation to the use of 3 Services as if you were using the 3 Services on the 3 Network.

(a) when we need to perform any upgrading, maintenance or other work on the 3 Network or 3 Services;
(b) calls and data sessions may not be maintained when you move from the 3 Network to the network of an Other Provider to facilitate national Roaming; or
(c) because of factors outside our control, such as interruptions to services from Other Providers and Content Providers, the weather or radio interference caused by hills, tunnels or other physical obstructions.

5. Handsets, Other Devices and Accessories

Use of Handsets and Other Devices on the 3 Network
5.1 You may only use a USIM with Handsets or Other Devices that have been approved by us for use on the 3 Network, as technical problems may occur through the use of unapproved Handsets or Other Devices which may affect your ability, or the ability of other 3 customers, to access the 3 Services. Not all 3 Services will be available with all Handsets or Other Devices. You must comply with all laws and all reasonable directions by us relating to the use of Handsets and Other Devices.
5.2 If your Handset or Other Device is locked and capable of being unlocked, you must only arrange to unlock your Handset or Other Device through us and may have to pay an unlocking fee. If you arrange to unlock your Handset or Other Device through someone other than us, this may void the warranty for your Handset or Other Device. Before you enter into your agreement with us, we will advise you of any period during which your Handset or Other Device is locked and if it can be unlocked. The circumstances in which you will have to pay an unlocking fee are explained in section 11. The amount of the unlocking fee is set out in our Price Guide.
5.3 We have the right not to Connect a Handset or Other Device for your use on the 3 Network or to Suspend your Account or any or all 3 Services if we are aware or reasonably suspect that the Handset or Other Device has been lost or stolen.
Purchases directly from us
5.4 If you purchase a Handset, Accessory or Other Device directly from us (such as from a 3 Shop, Customer Care or using our website), you enter into an agreement with us for the purchase of those goods. We will retain ownership in all goods purchased from us until you have paid for them in full, other than the USIM which will remain our property at all times.
5.5 You will be responsible for any Handset, Accessory or Other Device as soon as they are delivered to you. If you damage or lose any goods before you have paid for them in full, you will still be required to pay us for the full price of those goods. You are responsible for arranging your own insurance for any Handset, Accessory or Other Device.
Purchases from other retailers
5.6 If you purchase a Handset, Accessory or Other Device from a retailer other than us (a retailer includes one of our authorised dealers) you enter into an agreement with that other retailer for the purchase of those goods. We are not part of that purchase agreement except to the extent that we acquire the right to collect payments and obtain title to Handsets or Other Devices purchased by you under a Handset Instalment Plan.
Handset Instalment Plans
5.7 If you purchase a Handset or Other Device from us on a Handset Instalment Plan, you agree that you will pay all instalment payments in accordance with the Handset Instalment Plan.

Warranty
5.9 The performance, quality, workmanship and suitability of any Handset, Accessory or Other Device may be subject to the manufacturer's specifications and warranty, details of which will be made available to you before your agreement commences. The manufacturer's warranty is in addition to, and not in substitution for, your statutory rights relating to faulty or misdescribed goods or services.
5.10 Unless otherwise stated in the manufacturer's warranty terms, the Handset, Accessory or Other Device warranty is conditional upon:
(a) the Handset, Accessory or Other Device being operated, handled and repaired in accordance with any manual or written instructions of the manufacturer or us;
(b) the Handset, Accessory or Other Device having been properly stored or maintained by you; and
(c) no modification of the Handset, Accessory or Other Device without our consent.
5.11 The Handset, Accessory or Other Device warranty does not cover damage, malfunction or failure resulting from misuse, neglect, abuse, use for a purpose for which the relevant Handset, Accessory or Other Device was not designed or is not suited or normal wear and tear.
5.12 If a Handset, Accessory or Other Device purchased by you is faulty or not functioning because you have misused it or because of wear and tear, it will be your responsibility to arrange, at your cost, to have it repaired or replaced so you can continue to use the 3 Services.

6. Your Obligations Pay your bills
6.1 You must pay us all Charges for 3 Services used on your Account, whether used by you or another person with or without your permission. Your liability to pay these Charges arises when the 3 Services are used, but unless these Customer Terms say otherwise, payment is due on the date specified on your bill.
6.2 Credits on your Account are non-refundable, non-transferable and not redeemable for cash.
6.3 If your USIM, Handset or Other Device is lost, stolen or damaged, or you have sold or given away your USIM, Handset or Other Device, you will remain responsible for all Charges for 3 Services on your Account until such time as you ask us to Suspend your Account or any or all 3 Services or your agreement ends in accordance with these Customer Terms. You will remain responsible for any payments under a Handset Instalment Plan for the length of that Handset Instalment Plan.
6.4 It is our practice to bill you monthly. Your bill will normally include your fixed Charges for the next billing period, usage and administrative Charges for the last billing period and Charges for Roaming in prior periods. The initial invoice may also contain a Charge for Connection. Goods & Services Tax (GST) will be included in your bill at the relevant rate where applicable. All applicable Charges (which include GST) are set out in our Price Guide which will be made available to you before your agreement commences.
6.5 If you incur unusually high Charges on your Account we may contact you to determine why this has occurred and to ensure that your Handset or Other Device has not been lost or stolen or is not otherwise being used fraudulently. In these circumstances, we may require you to make an interim payment so you can continue to use the 3 Services. To do this, we do not have to send you a bill. We may demand payment in writing, over the phone or by sending a message to you.
6.6 We reserve the right to introduce billing fees such as a fee for not paying your Account by direct debit or a fee for paying your Account using a credit card. If we introduce any such billing fee we will provide you with reasonable notice of the fee and the date from which it will apply. There will always be alternative options available for paying your Account, at least one of which will not involve a fee being charged by us. However, Account payment by mail is not an available payment method.
6.7 If you fail to pay your bill on time, you will be in breach of your agreement. If your bill is not paid by the due date, we will notify you and request payment immediately. If you fail to pay the overdue amount within a reasonable time, we can Suspend you. If we Suspend you in these circumstances, we will not re-Connect you until you pay us your outstanding Charges, including all fees for late payment and re-Connection. We may terminate your agreement if you continue not to pay your bills on time.
6.8 If we take legal or other collection action against you for non-payment of the Charges, we will require you to pay our reasonable costs and expenses (including legal costs) of taking that action plus interest calculated at a rate of 2% per annum above the ANZ Bank's corporate overdraft rate from time to time calculated on the daily balance of the unpaid amount from the due date until the date of payment in full.
