Prorata Billing

Prorata billing applies to all new monthly billed services and on the initial purchase only. Prorata billing will not apply should you fail to pay your renewal invoice or any outstanding invoice on your account, the renewal/outstanding invoice must first be paid in order to qualify for the prorata rate on a new service. The bandwidth on a per gig service will be prorated together with the price on purchase. The prorata price and bandwidth is calculated according to the purchase date.

Service Changes (Applies to DSL, Fibre, Mobile and VoIP)

Service Changes are changes to the product, speed, combo or data purchased which changes the renewal of the service/s and are billed prorata.

For ease of understanding, services referred to as Upgraded services are services which result in a price increase on the next renewal and Downgraded services are services which result in a lesser billed renewal than the current service.

New services can only be set to Downgrade from the second month (month after activation) and will only apply from the following month (month 3).

Clients are not able to service change to an Upgraded service and then service change to a Downgraded service in the same month. The Upgraded service change must first be renewed before a Downgrade can be set for the next renewal.

Example: a Mobile Data service is service changed from 1GB to 5GB in August. The client will only be able to set a service change to a Mobile Data service smaller than 5GB during the month of September for October as the service must first be renewed on 1 September at 5GB before it can be downgraded.

Usage Notifications

Kingsley Technologies (Pty) will send an email/sms notification to all data users who have not opted out of receiving notifications when their data usage reaches 50%, 80% and 100% of the available total.

Telkom ADSL Lines

By purchasing/applying for an ADSL Line service it is agreed that you accept and agree to the Terms & Conditions as stated below:

I/We hereby authorise Kingsley Technologies (Pty) to apply for a new convert, migrate, migrate back, convert back of my/our ADSL Line from Telkom SA Ltd or my current ADSL Line Supplier on behalf of Telkom:

In order to apply for an ADSL Line, you are required to have an active monthly billed telephone line with Telkom SA Ltd. ADSL Lines remain the property of Telkom SA Limited, installations and repairs remain their responsibility. ADSL Line sizes are supplied at the maximum stable speed available that is requested by the client, the Telkom SA Ltd network is supplied as a best effort network and therefore service cannot be guaranteed. Telkom SA Ltd. runs automated health checks on all ADSL Lines and might adjust the speed of your line in order to supply the best service possible. Should you experience complete downtime on your ADSL Line for a period exceeding 24 hours, a dispute will be logged with Telkom SA Ltd once the fault has been cleared requesting a credit for the period the line was down. Once this credit has been issued, the client's account will be credited accordingly. Kingsley Technologies (Pty) (Ltd) will on behalf of our client as far as possible deal with Telkom SA Limited on the client's behalf. Should a fault be logged with Telkom SA Ltd. on the client's ADSL Line which results in a Technician being dispatched and it is found that the fault is due to faulty equipment or incorrect setup of equipment by the client an Unnecessary Call-Out charge may be charged to the client's Kingsley Technologies (Pty) account. Any credit due to the client by Telkom SA Limited after the transfer of their ADSL Line to Kingsley Technologies (Pty) remains the responsibility of Telkom SA Limited and the client will need to converse with Telkom SA Limited directly to arrange this if not done automatically. The activation of a new line is dependent on the exchange being ADSL ready as well as ports being available, the activation of a new line, cancellation, upgrade/downgrade or transfer is dependent on Telkom SA Limited as such cannot be guaranteed by Kingsley Technologies (Pty). Telkom SA Limited do not allow two actions to be performed at the same time, we are therefore not able to perform a transfer and an upgrade/downgrade at the same time, we need to process each action separately.

In order to transfer an existing ADSL Line from Telkom/another ISP to Kingsley Technologies (Pty) it is necessary for the client to request their current ISP/Telkom to perform a migrate back application. Only once the migrate back application has been completed will Kingsley Technologies (Pty) be able to apply for the transfer. During this process of transfer between ISP's/Telkom the ADSL line will be in a suspension state with no ADSL access. The client has 30 days from the date of the migrate back application to request re-activation of the ADSL Line, if the re-activation is not done within 30 days, the ADSL Line will be completely cancelled. Applications received where the incorrect number has been supplied by the client will be charged for until the application has been cancelled by Telkom. No refund requests will be considered where the incorrect number was supplied on application.

The client will continue to be billed by Telkom SA Limited for the telephone/fax line rental and telephone/fax calls as well as any other services provided to them directly by Telkom. Should your line be suspended by Telkom SA Ltd, the ADSL service on your line will not be usable until Telkom SA Ltd have lifted the suspension on the line.

The ADSL line rental will be billed to the client by Kingsley Technologies (Pty) together with any other services provided to them. On completion of a new, transfer or upgrade/downgrade of an ADSL Line an invoice will be generated and debited via the clients nominated payment method.

Should your debit order payment against your bank account or credit card be returned (initial and monthly) unpaid the ADSL Line will be migrated back if the outstanding amount is not settled within 7 days. A migrate back will result in the ADSL Line being suspended and completely cancelled 30 days thereafter if the outstanding amount is not settled.

Payment for the rental of the ADSL Line is due before the 1st of every month, failure to pay will result in the ADSL line being migrated back. Should you approach Telkom directly to have your telephone number ported, the ADSL service on your line will automatically be cancelled. Please advise us of your intent to port (move) your telephone line to a new address so that we may arrange for the ADSL line to be moved together with your telephone line. Should an incorrect telephone number be provided for the ADSL line and the service is successfully activated, the client will be liable for any costs arising from the activation of the ADSL Line service.

Please also note that ADSL lines are not cancelled during the month but only at the end of the month, if you wish to have your line cancelled during the course of a month you will not be refunded any monies already paid for that month and the cancellation may be subject to early cancellation fees.

Please be aware that Telkom do not allow us to submit cancellations for a specific date. In an effort to avoid the cancellation or migrate back of the line taking place before the last day of the month we submit these applications on the last 2 working days of every month. It is possible that the cancellation/migrate back will be actioned before the last day of the month or only take place the following month.

Queries pertaining to your ADSL line can be directed to support@kingsley.co.za during office hours, if you are experiencing technical difficulties you can contact our Support Line on 021 799 9600.
