Your mobile handset will be dispatched after commencement of this offer, which may be different to your mobile service commencement date.

CHANGES TO UPGRADES

10.1 If you have chosen to make a top-up payment to upgrade your joining bonus, and subsequently wish to change your joining bonus, Mercury may in its discretion permit that change prior to the commencement of the Term.
10.2 If your new joining bonus selection also requires a top-up payment, you will need to make a new top-up payment for the new joining bonus you have selected. Your top-up payment for your previously selected joining bonus upgrade will be refunded.
10.3 If your new joining bonus selection is available on your broadband plan without a top-up payment being required, your topup payment for your previously selected joining bonus upgrade will be refunded. If you cancel prior to the start of the Term your top-up payment will be refunded.
10.4 All refunds will be made to your nominated bank account within 10 days of the change or cancellation (as applicable).

CHANGES TO YOUR BROADBAND PLAN BEFORE TERM COMMENCEMENT

(a) If your selected joining bonus is available without payment on your new broadband speed, any top-up payment you may have made will be refunded.
(b) If your selected joining bonus requires a top-up payment on your new broadband plan, you will need to make a new top-up payment.
(c) If your selected joining bonus is available for a different top-up payment amount on your new broadband plan, you will need to make a new top-up payment, and your previous payment will be refunded.
11.2 All refunds will be made to your nominated bank account within 10 days of the change or cancellation (as applicable).

CHANGES TO PRICING

12.1 The price for your broadband plan applies for the Term. However, if you switch or terminate your electricity services during the Term, your broadband price will no longer be fixed and may be subject to change. You will be given notice of any change in accordance with Mercury’s General Terms and Conditions for Residential Customers.
12.2 Your electricity and (if applicable), piped gas and LPG pricing may be subject to change at any time during the Term.
12.3 If you have electricity and either piped gas and/or LPG with Mercury at the same address (determined by Electricity and Gas registry data provided to Mercury), you will receive a 15 cent per day Dual Fuel Discount. The Dual Fuel Discount will be applied as a credit to your bill each month. If you no longer have both electricity and either piped gas or LPG at the same address with Mercury, you will not receive the Dual Fuel Discount.
12.4 At the end of the Term, plan prices and any discounts may be subject to change. You will be given notice of any changes in accordance with Mercury’s General Residential Terms.
12.5 If during the Term you move to a different property, your energy pricing and Dual Fuel Discount may be different at your new property.
12.6 If during the Term you move to a different property, you must remain on the same broadband service you signed up for as part of this offer, and retain your electricity service. If that broadband service is not available at the new property, you must retain a broadband service with us in order to remain eligible for this offer.
12.7 There are no upfront installation costs on standard fibre broadband installations if you’re not already connected to fibre.
If your home is more than 200m from where the fibre cable access point is on the street, or you need additional internal wiring, there may be an additional installation cost.

ROUTER REQUIREMENTS

13.1 Customers who choose a fibre service can choose to receive a Mercury router, or to bring their own device, subject to the device meeting the specifications for a router compatible with Mercury’s fibre services. These specifications are available at mercury.co.nz/fibre-BYOD- specs. Using a non-compatible router means you may not be capable of receiving the stated speeds for Mercury’s fibre services.
13.2 Customers who choose wireless broadband will require a Mercury router for this service.
13.3 A $14.95 postage and handling charge will apply for the delivery of all Mercury-issued routers.

BROADBAND BUNDLE DISCOUNT

14.1 As part of this offer, you’ll have energy and broadband with Mercury, so we will apply a $15 per month discount on your chosen broadband package – the Broadband Bundle Discount. This will apply from the start of the Term.
14.2 The discounted broadband prices (with the Broadband Bundle Discount applied) are shown in the table below.
14.3 You will continue to receive the Broadband Bundle Discount for your chosen broadband plan, as long as you continue to keep a broadband service and an electricity or gas service with Mercury.

CHANGING YOUR BROADBAND PLAN DURING THE TERM

15.1 The following changes are permitted during the Term:
(a) FibreMax customers with a Tier One joining bonus can switch to FibreClassic during the Term.
(b) FibreClassic customers can upgrade to FibreMax during the Term.
(c) Wireless broadband customers may upgrade to FibreClassic or FibreMax during the Term, subject to fibre availability at the property.
(d) Wireless broadband customers may be able to change between wireless broadband plans during the Term.
Changing between wireless broadband plans is subject to availability. Wireless broadband customers may switch to a wireless broadband plan with a lower data allowance. However, Mercury cannot guarantee that a higher data allowance will be available in future if customers wish to switch back to a higher allowance plan.
15.2 The following changes are not permitted during the Term:
(a) Changing from FibreMax to FibreClassic if a Tier Two or Tier Three joining bonus has been selected.
(b) Moving from FibreClassic or FibreMax to a wireless broadband service or to FibreLite.

WIRELESS BROADBAND

16.1 This section 16 applies to customers who select a wireless broadband service.
16.2 Wireless broadband services are not available in all areas, or to all properties or customers within availability areas. In addition, the 1000GB plan is available only in limited areas proximate to cellphone towers. Please contact us or see our
website to determine whether wireless broadband is available at your address.
16.3 If you have chosen a capped wireless broadband plan, any unused data from your monthly data allowance will not be carried forward to the following month.
16.4 Additional data packs are available for capped wireless broadband plans and charged at $10 for 10GB. Data packs are either automatically or manually applied. A one-off 10GB data pack is automatically applied when the full monthly data allowance on your capped wireless broadband plan has been consumed (if no manual data packs have been added already, otherwise it will activate after the manually added data pack has been consumed). There is only one automatically applied data pack available per month. There are 4 manual data packs available for purchase per month for the capped wireless broadband plans. Data packs are available for use for 30 days from purchase.
16.5 If you have chosen a wireless broadband plan that is not a capped plan, any unused data from your monthly data allowance will not be carried forward to the following month. Once your full monthly data allowance has been consumed the maximum speeds for your wireless broadband plan will be reduced to 5Mbps until your monthly plan renewal date. Where your maximum speeds have been reduced, you will still be able to use your wireless broadband but you may experience some degradations (such as lower video resolution) when watching video, streaming or loading images. Your speeds may be less than 5Mbps during the period that your maximum speeds are reduced because of other factors that affect wireless broadband speeds (see Mercury’s Phone and Internet Terms for details).
16.6 You will be able to check on your data usage, but we are unable to show your data usage in real time. It is updated approximately every hour and, under normal conditions, will reflect usage up to 4 hours earlier. However, in some circumstances, such as when there are large numbers of users on the internet, it can sometimes take longer for your usage information to be updated, particularly at the end of your billing month. It is important that you take this into account when tracking your usage. Whilst we will use our best endeavours to notify you when you have used 80% of your data and 100% of your data, it is ultimately your responsibility to manage and monitor how many megabytes or gigabytes of data you have used.

EARLY TERMINATION FEES

17.1 When you sign up to Mercury, we incur costs to provide our services to you. We don’t mind paying these if you commit to taking services from us for the Term. On the other hand, if you terminate early, we still have to pay these costs. If you terminate before the end of the Term, you need to repay some of those costs to us as set out below. If you terminate or switch either electricity or broadband providers within the Term, you’ll need to pay an Early Termination Fee (this will be added to your next bill). This Early Termination Fee varies depending on the broadband service you select and which joining bonus you receive as part of this offer and will reduce by a set amount each month over the term of your Agreement, as set out below. An Early Termination Fee is only payable once during the Term.
17.2 If your Agreement with Mercury is terminated under the “Termination” section of Mercury’s General Residential Terms and Conditions for your breach (including, for example, for regular non-payment of invoices), the applicable Early Termination Fees for your plan will be payable by you.
17.3 If you choose to upgrade the joining bonus you receive by making a top-up payment (i.e., unlocking a higher tiered product), the applicable Early Termination Fee is based on the Early Termination Fee for the equivalent type of product on the bonus tier for your broadband service, as set out below.
