We will attempt to notify you electronically (eg by email or SMS-text) that a new invoice, bill or notice has been provided for you on the web site. However if this notification fails to reach you, or cannot be sent, this does not invalidate the invoice, bill or notice, nor does it remove any obligation that falls on you arising from the invoice, bill or notice. For example, if you do not receive a notification that a new invoice has been issued to you on our website, you are still obliged to pay the fees on the invoice within the normal timespan. You have a responsibility to check the www.iboxtv.co.uk website reasonably often to determine if there is a new invoice, bill or notice on your account. We may decide to send invoices or other documents to you by post, and in this case we will send such documents to the address you supplied at sign-up and you should send any notice to us to our postal address indicated in this document. You must tell us straightaway about any change in your email or postal addresses. We allow 48 hours for you to receive bills and notices through the post. You agree that after 48 hours we can assume you have received the bill or notice. You may send us email communication at the address service@iboxtv.co.uk. However you should be aware that technical difficulties may prevent us from receiving such communication. If the email communication is one that you expect a reply to, and you receive no reply within 72 hours, you must resend the communication.
9.4 Any concession or extra time that we allow you only applies to the specific circumstances in which we give it. It does not affect our rights under these Terms and Conditions in any other way.
9.5 Each of our rights, remedies and powers under these Terms and Conditions are cumulative and will not exclude us from any other right, remedy or power at any time.
9.6 If a clause or condition of these Terms and Conditions is not legally effective, the remainder of these Terms and Conditions shall be effective. We can replace any Condition that is not legally effective with a Condition of similar meaning that is.
9.7 We may use credit reference agencies to help us make credit decisions or for fraud protection. You agree that we may register information about you and the conduct of your Account with any credit reference agency and that any such credit reference agency may make decisions solely by automated means. For the purpose of fraud prevention, debt collection and credit management, information about you and the conduct of your Account may be disclosed to debt collection agencies, security agencies, financial institutions or other phone companies. You also agree that we can do those things that are permitted from time to time under our registration under current data protection legislation.
9.8 Unless expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions, no clause in them, is enforceable by any person who is not the purchaser of the Services.
9.9 These Terms and Conditions and all associated order forms represent the entire agreement between us in relation to the Services. Neither of us has entered into this agreement in reliance upon (and, to the extent permissible under applicable law, we do not have any liability in relation) any representations, term or condition not expressly set out in these Terms and Conditions.
9.10 Any dispute arising between the parties shall be referred by you initially to the Complaints Manager for the purposes of the Terms and Conditions in order that any such dispute may be resolved in good faith and any such dispute shall be conducted in accordance with our Code of Practice. For the avoidance of doubt and in the event of such a dispute, we shall continue to provide the Services in accordance with the Terms and Conditions unless otherwise requested by you.
9.11 The laws of Ireland will apply to these Terms and Conditions and any disputes will be settled exclusively in the courts of Ireland.
