Quick Summary

We’ve summarised the key points that we’d like you to be aware of when using XclusivNet Home Broadband. The full terms of this Agreement with us for use of XclusivNet services are set out below – it’s important that you read and understand them before you sign up to XclusivNet and start using XclusivNet Services. At the end of these Terms we’ve set out definitions of capitalised words used in these Terms. If there is any inconsistency between this summary, and the full terms set out below, the full terms will govern.

  1. What these terms cover: The Service provides you with the ability to access the Internet from any of your devices using the Equipment that we provide to you. These terms cover how you may use our Services and the Equipment.
  • Using XclusivNet Services: By plugging in your Equipment you are expressly requesting that XclusiNet provide you with our Services on these terms.
  • Fourteen Day Money Back Guarantee: If you contact us within 14 days from the date you received your Equipment you may cancel this Agreement with us. You will need to send the Equipment back to us undamaged. If you do not return the Equipment within 14 days or if the Equipment is damaged then we will charge you for the replacement cost of the Equipment (see Section 8.4)
  • Your Minimum Commitment: You agree to stay with us for the Minimum Term. The minimum price for XclusivNet Services provided under this Agreement is the Monthly Charge for the Minimum Term.
  • Annual Price Increase: Each April, your Monthly Charge will increase by an amount equal to the December CPI Rate, published in January of that year, plus 3.9%. We’ve shown an example in the following table of how this increase will work. For more information, see Section 4.1:
Monthly Price until March 2024Monthly Price from April 2024 to March 2025Monthly Price from April 2025 to March 2026
  Price APrice A plus an amount equal to the December 2023 CPI Rate + 3.9% (= Price B)Price B plus an amount equal to the December 2024 CPI Rate +3.9% (= Price C)
We’ve set out an example below, showing how this would work, if your Monthly Charge is £25 and CPI Rate is 4% in December 2023 and (for example) 4% in December 2024
£25.00  £25.00 + £1.98 (7.9% of £25.00) = £26.98  £26.98 + £2.13 (7.9% of £26.98) = £29.11
