Part 2 – Code of Practice for Premium Rate Services and Number Translation Service Calls

 

Purpose of this Code of Practice

This code informs you, our business customers, about our policies on providing information about Premium Rate Service (PRS) and Number Translation Service (NTS) calls and on our charging policy for calls to PRS and NTS numbers.

Unbundled Tariff Numbers

Unbundled Tariff Numbers are non geographic numbers starting with 084, 087, 090, 091, 098, or 118 which are used to provide a range of information and entertainment services and are charged to your telephone bill.

Charges for these services are made up of two parts, a Service Charge and an Access Charge and the total is added to your telephone bill. You will see the Service Charge advertised by the company providing the service alongside the number. Depending on the type of number called, the Service Charge can be up to £3.60 per minute, or £6 per call or per text (including VAT).

The Access Charge is retained by us, your phone company. Our Access Charge for calling Unbundled Tariff numbers is per your contract. Unbundled Tariff numbers in the 084, 087, 090, 091, 098, or 118 ranges are/are not included in your monthly call minutes allowance.

Personal Numbers

Personal Numbers are numbers starting with 070. Calls to Personal Numbers are charged at the same rate as for mobile numbers. Calls to Personal Numbers are/are not included in your monthly call minutes allowance.

Controlled Premium Rate Services

Controlled Premium rate services (CPRS) are Unbundled Tariff numbers which cost 7p per minute or more.  UK-based CPRS numbers are normally prefixed by “09” or “118”. Numbers starting 087 are also designated as Premium Rate numbers and subject to PRS regulation when they cost 7p per minute or more. Typical services include TV votelines, mobile ringtone downloads, technical helplines, charity fund-raising and adult entertainment. Calls to 118 services are capped at £3.65 for a 90 second call (including VAT) plus our Access Charge.

If you have a problem with Premium Rate Services, we can help. We can provide advice on checking the telephone number of any PRS charges that appear on your bill and will try to help you identify the premium rate service provider. We can use call barring to restrict access to “09” numbers. Please call our Customer Support Team for advice on this. We can give you a factsheet on PRS.

You can also ask for help from the Phone-paid Services Authority (PSA) which is the industry-funded regulatory body for Premium Rate Services. PSA operates a Code of Practice that sets out standards for the operation of PRS. You can use the PSA website at www.psauthority.org.uk to check PRS numbers direct and find contact details for the company in question or to submit a complaint. PSA has the legal powers to require a provider of PRS to amend its service or promotional material (or both) and can also order refunds and impose penalties on service providers for breaches of the PSA Code.  For other ways to contact Phone-paid Services Authority, see the “Useful addresses” section below.

Number Translation Services

Number translation services (NTS) are based on numbers that are normally pre-fixed “08”. For example, 0800 and 0808 are used to provide freephone services (some freephone services are also provided on 0500 numbers). Numbers starting 084 are normally used for customer service helplines. 087 numbers are used for information services, technical helplines and telephone banking. They are also used by organisations to help them provide call-management features such as intelligent call routing and fax-to-email services. Numbers starting 087 are also designated as Premium Rate numbers and subject to PRS regulation when they cost 7p per minute or more. Personal numbers prefixed 070 are also used for providing NTS such as “follow me” type services.

Charges for calling services on NTS numbers are made up of two parts, a service charge and an access charge and the total is added to your telephone bill. You will see the service charge advertised by the company providing the service alongside the number and this can range from free up to 13p per minute or per call (including VAT). The access charge is kept by us, your phone company.  Our access charge for calling these services is shown in our price list, which is available on request from our Customer Services Team and via our website. We can also give you a factsheet on NTS.

If you are unhappy with the help you have received from us on a problem with PRS or NTS, please contact Manveer Mangat on 03445 607607 or email manveer.mangat@babble.cloud who has responsibility for compliance with our code of practice for PRS and NTS. You may also complain using the complaints procedure set out in our complaints code including, ultimately, referring your complaint to Ombudsman Services.

Internet diallers

If you use the Internet, it is possible for software to be placed on your computer without you knowing – using the same methods as for computer viruses. This type of software (known as Internet or rogue diallers) can then make calls to PRS and NTS numbers without your knowledge. Software is available to detect this activity and we can help you to access this – please contact our Customer Services Team for details. Phone-paid Services Authority has been given responsibility for policing this type of activity and you can contact them via www.psauthority.org.uk to ask for help or to report examples of this type of abuse. For other ways to contact Phone-paid Services Authority, see the “Useful Addresses” section below. We can also help by barring calls to 09 numbers.

The Telephone Preference Service

If you don’t want to get sales and marketing calls you have not requested, you can add your details to a list run by the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). If your number is on the list, it is illegal for a company to call you for marketing purposes. You can contact the Telephone Preference Service via www.tpsonline.org.uk  or by telephoning 0845 070 0707.

Schedule 1

Terms and Conditions (Hardware)

1.             DELIVERY

  1. Delivery of Hardware as specified in the relevant Customer Order Form shall be made during normal business hours (excluding bank or public holidays). Sesui may levy additional charges for any deliveries made outside such hours at the Customer’s request. Any agreed delivery date or time is approximate only and the time of delivery is not of the essence in this Agreement. Sesui reserves the right to make part deliveries.
  1. Sesui will deliver Hardware as near as possible to the Premises as safe hard road permits and to the ground floor only of such Premises. The Customer shall arrange for the unloading of Hardware with reasonable dispatch. If the Customer does not arrange for the unloading, Sesui shall be entitled to charge the costs of unloading.
  1. The Customer shall note any claim for short delivery and/or damage at the time of delivery and shall confirm such claims in writing to Sesui promptly and in any event within five (5) days of delivery. The delivery of Hardware shall be deemed completed unless the Customer provides written notification to Sesui in accordance with this paragraph.
  1. Sesui will use reasonable endeavours to meet any Customer requests to postpone or arrange part delivery of Hardware. The Customer will pay to Sesui any reasonable additional delivery, insurance, storage or other costs caused by Sesui meeting such a request.
  1. Sesui may charge reasonable costs for storage and redelivery if the Customer does not take delivery of Hardware at the agreed date or time or provides inadequate delivery instructions or fails to reasonably provide other information that is required to complete delivery of the Solutions.

2.             RISK AND TITLE

  1. Risk of damage to or loss of Hardware passes to Customer on delivery and before unloading. Hardware shall remain Sesui’s property as legal and equitable owner and no property in or title to Hardware shall pass to Customer until the Customer has fully paid the charges due in respect of the Hardware. Whilst the ownership of Hardware remains with Sesui, the Customer shall:
    1. store and maintain Hardware in such a manner that Hardware remains readily identifiable as Sesui’s property and attach a notice or otherwise mark Hardware in a manner which makes them readily identifiable as Sesui property;
    2. not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark on or relating to Hardware; and
    3. maintain Hardware in satisfactory condition and keep it insured against all risks for its full price from the date of delivery.

3.             WARRANTY

  1. Sesui warrants that on delivery, Hardware will be new (except as otherwise specified in a Customer Order Form) and, and for any warranty period specified in the Customer Order Form, will be of satisfactory quality and fit for any particular purpose expressly specified in a Customer Order Form. As the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty Sesui shall at its option, (i) in circumstances where Hardware rental charges are included in the Customer’s overall monthly rental charge, repair or replace defective Hardware, or (ii) in circumstances where Hardware has been purchased from Sesui as a separate item under the Order in question, repair or replace defective Hardware or provide a refund of any charges paid in respect of Hardware. In circumstances where Hardware has been purchased from Sesui as a separate item under the Order in question, Sesui will also use reasonable endeavours to transfer to the Customer the benefit of any manufacturer or other third party guarantee, warranty or indemnity and the benefit of any additional support or services provided by any party supplying Hardware to Sesui, which in each case will be subject to the applicable third party terms and conditions. In such circumstances, these warranties are in lieu of all other express or implied warranties and once Sesui has delivered Hardware, the Customer’s sole remedy for any defects will be to make a claim under any manufacturer or third party warranty. Sesui will only make a claim on behalf of the Customer if the manufacturers’ warranty is valid.
  1. Sesui shall not in any circumstances be liable for a breach of the warranty contained in paragraph 3 unless:
    1. the Customer gives written notice of the defect to Sesui within seven days of the time when the Customer discovers or ought to have discovered the defect; and
    2. after receiving the notice, Sesui is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Hardware and the Customer (if asked to do so by Sesui) returns such Hardware to Sesui’s place of business at Sesui’s cost for the examination to take place there.
  1. Sesui shall not in any circumstances be liable for a breach of the warranty in paragraph 3 if:
    1. the Customer makes any use of a Hardware after giving notice to Sesui under paragraph 3(a);
    2. the defect arises from the Customer’s improper use of Hardware or use of Hardware outside its normal application;
    3. the Customer failed to follow Sesui’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of Hardware or (if there are none) good trade practice;
    4. the Customer alters or repairs the relevant Hardware without the written consent of Sesui.

4.             CANCELLATION

  1. A Customer may only cancel an Order for Hardware with Sesui’s written agreement. On the Customer’s request Sesui will inform the Customer of the cancellation charge applicable to the Order (which will depend on the Solution and progress of

the order) and the Customer will then pay that charge if the Customer proceeds to cancel the Order.
