YOUR STATEMENTS - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
There are some terms and conditions associated with setting up your online or SMS bill:
Your Statements Online
1 Asking for online bills
a) To be able to see your statements online, you need to agree to these terms and conditions.
b) If you ask us to set up your bills online, you will also continue to be bound by our general terms and conditions for using Virgin Mobile's services.
c) If there is any conflict between these online bill terms and conditions and our general terms and conditions these online terms and conditions apply.
2 How it works
a) Once you ask us to set up your bills online, you will no longer receive a paper bill in the mail. You will be able to switch back to paper bills or bills by text by clicking Bill options in Your Account..
b) You must have a valid e-mail address and access to the internet in order to be eligible for online bills.
c) If you ask us to set up online bills for you, we will post your bill on our website every month for our services used by you in the month that has just passed and for any services used by you at any earlier time if they have not previously been charged for. We will, as a courtesy, send you an e-mail to notify you when your latest bill has been posted online. However, we will not check that you have opened or read our e-mail, and we are not responsible for your failure to do so. It is your responsibility to check your bill online on a regular basis, and pay your bill when due (see our general terms and conditions for details).
3 Your personal information
a) You confirm that all personal information (including e-mail address) we have for you is current and accurate. You must tell us immediately if there are any changes.
b) Your bill information will be viewed on a website hosted by another company. How we collect, use and store your personal information is set out in our general terms and conditions and Security and Privacy Policy.
4 Protect yourself
a) We strongly recommend that you do not write down or tell anyone your Virgin Mobile password. It is your responsibility to protect your password, and we will disclose information about you or your account to anyone who logs in to our website using your phone number and password.
b) Always remember to log out of your account when you are finished using it. Doing this is especially important if you share a computer or use one in a public place, as it will help to prevent others from accessing your personal information. Just hit the log out button at the top of your screen.
c) If at any time you think your account details might be known by someone else, you should immediately contact our team on 789 or 0845 6000 789.
d) When you sign up for bills online, we will try to protect all information, including messages while in transit across the Internet by using encryption. However, if you use standard e-mail to communicate with Virgin Mobile, the contents of the e-mail will not be protected in any way and the information whilst in transit may not be confidential.
5 Responsible use
You will not access or attempt to access any other person's bill online for any purpose. We can cancel your online bill privileges immediately if you do not use the online bill services responsibly, and you will reimburse us for any reasonable costs we incur for switching you back to paper billing, and for any costs that we have to pay to other people as a result of your irresponsible use.
6 Amending online bill terms and conditions
We can amend these online bill terms and conditions in the same ways and for the same reasons as we can amend our general terms and conditions. Please see our general terms and conditions for details.
7 Right to withdraw online bill services
a) We are providing this online bill service as a convenience to you. We can change or withdraw our online bill service for the same reasons as we can change or withdraw our services under our general terms and conditions.
b) We can also withdraw, suspend or interrupt our online bill services if:
(i) we are required to comply with an order, instruction or request of any government body, any emergency service organisation, or any other person or organisation with the appropriate authority; or
(ii) any service provider (such as our web host or internet service provider) whose services we require to be able to provide our online bill service withdraws or suspends its services to us.
c) If we withdraw our online bill service, we will endeavour to send you an email in advance notifying you that this will happen, and we will send you paper bills after the date of withdrawal of the online bill service.
d) If we suspend or interrupt our online bill services, we will attempt to restore the services as quickly as possible, and will endeavour to provide you with your bill using an alternative method, if our services are suspended during the period when your most recent bill would otherwise have been posted on our website.
