3.Data Services

3.1Nature and quality of Data Service

  1. The Data Service is a carriage service that allows your Zeller Terminal, in locations covered by Optus networks, to connect to the public internet. We supply the Data Service on Optus' 3G and 4G networks.
  2. Given the nature of telecommunications systems (including our reliance on Optus' networks and other third party networks, systems and services that we do not own or control), we cannot guarantee or warrant that the Data Service will be uninterrupted or fault-free.
  3. For clarity, the Data Service that we supply under these Terms are independent of and separate from other services and/or goods that you obtain from us under a separate agreement (for example, payment processing services). In this instance, these Terms do not apply to these other services and/or goods.

In order to access or use the Data Service, you are required to purchase:

  1. a Zeller SIM Card;
  2. a Zeller Terminal; and
  3. a Zeller Unlimited Terminal Data Plan (Zeller Data Plan).

To enable the Data Service on your Zeller Terminal, you need to insert a Zeller SIM Card in the terminal. You cannot access or use the Data Service with any other device or equipment.

 

3.3Coverage of Data Service

You must only access and use the Data Service from a Zeller Terminal within Australia in accordance with the operational and technical instructions (including those set out in our manuals or procedures documents) that we may make available to you from time to time (Instructions). To be clear, the Data Service cannot be used for other calls or services, including SMS, MMS, content subscription services, voice or video calls, voicemail, or international roaming.

We can cancel the Data Service and terminate these Terms:

In these circumstances, we will try to give you as much notice as we reasonably can.
