These terms and conditions can be downloaded by clicking here. You can also ask us for a copy by emailing us on info@alivfibr.com. These terms and conditions are divided into a general section that applies to every service (GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS), and then into service-specific terms and conditions (SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS). The services that we provide are voice telephony, television, and Internet services. Please read the general section and each section that applies to your service because the GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS and the SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS that apply to each service and device(s) that you acquire from us, will apply together. Your order and both of these sets of terms and conditions will constitute our contract. If there is any doubt about which of these provisions applies, the GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS will always take precedence.

4. Charges:

Each service will have its own price and the charges must be paid according to the terms and conditions for that service.

Charges are payable on the 20th of each month, and some charges may be payable in advance.
