  1. PROVISION OF SERVICES

2.1 Although we marketed under the White Mobile brand, certain of the services are provided by Everything Everywhere network. These terms and conditions do not cover any services that may be provided to Everything Everywhere customers, unless we tell you otherwise. Charges for calls and texts you make to Everything Everywhere customers are charged as calls and texts to customers of another mobile network, unless we tell you otherwise. Further details are shown on the White Mobile website

2.2. We will take all reasonable steps to make the Services available to you at all times. The Services are only available within the range of the base stations that make up the Network. We cannot guarantee a continuous fault free service.

Please note that:

2.2.1. the quality and availability of Services may sometimes be affected by factors outside our control – such as local physical obstructions, atmospheric conditions, other causes of radio interference, features or functionality of your Device, the number of people trying to use the Network at the same time, and faults in other telecommunication networks to which the Network is connected.

2.2.2. the quality of our Services may not be at its best inside buildings or below ground.2.3. When you move outside the White Mobile enhanced service area this may result in:

2.3.1. the call being terminated if you are on a video call;

2.3.2. the speeds at which data is downloaded being affected; and/or

2.3.3. the sound quality being affected if you are on an HD voice call.

2.4. Any coverage maps are our best estimate but not a guarantee of service coverage which may vary from place to place.

2.5. The Network and the Services may from time to time require upgrading, modification, maintenance or other works. These may result in some or all of the Services becoming temporarily unavailable. In such cases, we’ll do everything we can to keep the period of non-availability to a minimum. However, some interruption is inevitable.

2.6. For the purposes of good management and security and to make sure we follow your instructions correctly and to improve our service to you through training of our staff, or to monitor instances of unsolicited messages, we may monitor or record communications. Where we have good reason to believe such communication is unsolicited you agree we may but are not obliged to block such communication.

2.7. We may Suspend the Services in whole or part at any time without notice if we have good reason to believe you haven’t complied with one or more of these terms and conditions or if any money owed by you to us whether in relation to Services or not remains unpaid.

2.8. We shall investigate all complaints made whether by or against you and reserve the right to Suspend the Services if a complaint has been made against you pending the results of investigation of the complaint.

2.9. Roaming relies upon the telecommunications systems of foreign networks over which we have no control. We cannot therefore offer any guarantee about Roaming services.

2.10. If you use Services from a country outside the UK your use of the Services may be subject to different laws and regulations that apply in that other country. White Mobile is not liable for your failure to comply with those laws or regulations.

Storage and transmission of information on the Network

The Content, which is obtained from a large range of sources, is supplied to you on an “as is” basis and White Mobile does not warrant that the Content is of satisfactory quality, fit for a particular purpose, suitable, reliable, accurate, complete, secure or is free from error.

Access to the third party services and the internet

2.16. We have no control over the value or quality of goods, services or Content offered by third parties on or through the Services. As a result we cannot be responsible or liable in any way for and do not endorse, any of these goods, services or Content.
