Quotations

All quotations are based solely on the information by You to Us (for example, contract end dates, tariff/billing information, number of handsets, current network or third-party provider, contract terms) and we cannot accept any liability for error made in calculating tariffs at the point of contract. Acceptance of the quotation is deemed as evidence that you understand and fully accept these terms and conditions & those of the network. We reserve the right to withdraw/amend any part of the quotation at any time from the date of Purchase Order to the end of the cancellation period should it become known that any information provided by you is inaccurate. You will provide us with any additional information required, allowing us to set up your new mobile phone account, and this information will be provided in a timely manner. Tariff prices correct at time of printing. The 'network' including EE Limited & O2 will increase line rental costs in accordance with the RPI (Retail Price Index) in March of each calendar year. Any increase in monthly tariff costs is determined by the network, therefore Pace Comms Ltd cannot be responsible for these additional charges throughout the contractual term.
