Contract Summary and Contract Information documents for Pay As You Go customers
When you buy something from us on a Pay As You Go tariff, you’ll have the opportunity to view your Contract Information and Contract Summary whilst placing your order.
For more information on what’s included in these documents, please read the FAQs below.
These are two pre-contractual documents that you’ll receive when you select the tariff that you’re interested in, before you complete your order. They’ll give you a summary of the tariff details and the terms and conditions, including any additional benefits you may receive.
We’re required to provide these documents to you as part of the EECC regulation from Ofcom.
Even though you aren’t entering into a Commitment Period and are free to leave at any time, you’ll be using our services so will have to adhere to certain terms and conditions, which makes this a form of contract.
Ofcom have also requested that they are called ‘Contract Summary’ and ‘Contract Information’ documents for both Pay Monthly and Pay As You Go customers.
They’ll give you a summary of all the important information you need to make an informed decision on your purchase. You’ll need to confirm that you’ve received these documents before we can complete your order.
The EECC is an EU directive, which regulates electronic communications networks and services. Ofcom enforce this code in the UK and their overall objective is fairness. They want people to shop around with confidence, make informed choices, switch easily, and get a fair deal. The EECC brings in new ways to protect customers, making it easier for them to take advantage of competition in the market and be aware of other deals available.
Although the UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020, the UK remained under an obligation to implement EU directives that were already underway, into domestic law. In July 2020, the UK Government confirmed that the changes to implement the EECC should proceed and be implemented by Ofcom as planned.
You’ll need to confirm that you’ve received the documents and are happy to proceed, so that you can continue to place your order.
There’s no obligation for you to continue with the order if you’re unhappy with the contents of the documents. You can stop your order and select a different plan if you’d like.
