These terms and conditions will form part of your Virgin Media customer contract once an eligible request for you to log on to the Virgin Media Connect App has been accepted by us. In addition to the Virgin Media Standard Terms, these terms and conditions set out the End User Licence Agreement for the Virgin Media Connect sharing application (the “Virgin Media Connect App”). In the event these terms and conditions contradict the Virgin Media Standard Terms, these terms and conditions prevail in respect of the provision of the Virgin Media Connect App service. Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy virginmedia.com/legal/privacy-policy carefully because they govern your access to and use of the Virgin Media Connect service, including an application component thereof that enables you to configure, access and use of the various features of the Virgin Media Connect service which are collectively called the “Services”. As a Virgin Media customer, we hold some of your details. Don’t worry, they’re safe and sound, but so you’re clear on the data we hold and how we use it, please read our Privacy Policy virginmedia.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Agreement to Terms

Virgin Media is willing to allow you to access and use the Services only upon the condition that you agree to be bound by the Terms. To indicate that you agree to be bound by these Terms, click on “Accept” or “I Agree” or on a similar prompt that is displayed. If you do not indicate your agreement to accept these terms and conditions, you will not be able to complete the sign up process and will not be able to use the Service. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that company or other legal entity. Upon your acceptance of these Terms the Services will work automatically and you will be deemed a “Subscriber”.

Changes to Terms or Services

The Virgin Media App and the Services are variable in nature and from time to time we may upgrade, update, replace or withdraw the Virgin Media Connect App, the Terms and/or the Services. Updates to the App may be issued through the applicable Appstore. You shall ensure that your devices meet and continue to meet any applicable operating system requirements. Depending on the update, you may not be able to use the App or Services until you have downloaded the latest version of the operating system and accepted any new terms. Where an operating system or device is outdated, we may be unable to provide the Services to you and you will not have a right to cancel your agreement for your core services as a result of such a change. We may modify the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Virgin Media website, or through other communications, such as sending a message to you via the Connect App or through the applicable Appstore. If you set your mobile device not to receive messages, if we modify the Terms we will temporarily override your setting to enable you to receive our message and, once we confirm that you have received our message, we will restore your original setting. It’s important that you review the modified Terms because if you continue to use the Services after we’ve let you know that the Terms have been modified, you are indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms then you may no longer use the Services.

Who May Use the Services

Eligibility

You may use the Services only if you are 18 years or older and capable of forming a binding contract with Virgin Media and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law. Device Registration for Virgin Mobile customers: When you access the Virgin Media Connect App for the first time the app will register your mobile device by collecting and storing on Virgin Media’s server, the mobile device’s phone number (MSISDN) after confirming that it is a Virgin Media mobile device. A WiFi profile for Virgin Media WiFi is then created on your device in order for that device to be able to access the services. The MSISDN enables Virgin Media to associate or track the device and its interactions with our Services and is necessary for our Services to function.

Description of Services
