Art. 4
Conclusion of the Agreement
4.1 The Agreement is concluded for an indefinite period, with termination taking effect at the end of the next billing period following the period in which the termination occurred, unless the Detailed Regulations or the Agreement state otherwise.
4.2 An Agreement concluded for a fixed term equal to or longer than 30 days is automatically extended to an indefinite period after its expiration unless the Subscriber submits, at least 10 days before the expiration date, a declaration in documentary, written, or electronic form stating their will not to extend the Agreement. If the promotional price period expires simultaneously with the term of the Agreement, standard rates according to the price list apply to calculate the subscription fee.
4.3 The provision of Article 4.2 does not apply to Agreements concluded under public procurement procedures.
4.4 If the Agreement is concluded with a Consumer or a Para-Consumer outside the Operator’s business premises or remotely, the Subscriber has the right to withdraw from the Agreement without giving any reason within 14 days from the date of its conclusion by submitting an appropriate declaration in Written, Documentary, or Electronic Form. However, this right does not apply if the service includes software or other digital data or if the Service covered by the Agreement has been fully activated before the end of the Subscriber’s withdrawal period. This provision does not apply to services specified as custom-ordered with parameters designed according to the Subscriber’s specifications.
4.5 When concluding an Agreement with an individual, the Operator will store and process the Subscriber's data contained in the Agreement, data provided by the Subscriber during the execution of the Agreement, and data related to the Service necessary, among others, for its correct billing. The Subscriber has the right to access and correct their personal data.
4.6 By concluding the Agreement, the Operator commits to providing Services under the terms defined in the Agreement, Regulations, Price List, and Detailed Regulations, while the Subscriber agrees to comply with the provisions of the Agreement, Regulations, Price List, and Detailed Regulations, particularly by timely paying for the Services.
4.7 The Operator has the right to refuse to conclude an Agreement in the following cases:
4.7.1 If there is no technical feasibility to provide the Service,
4.7.2 If an entity other than a natural person refuses to provide the Operator with copies of documents regarding its legal status, registered office, and assigned NIP and REGON numbers,
4.7.3 If the Ordering Party fails to fulfill obligations under an Agreement previously concluded with the Operator, particularly if they have outstanding payments,
4.7.4 If a previous Service Agreement concluded with the Ordering Party or another person using the Services at the Premises was terminated by the Operator or expired due to a violation of its provisions or the provisions of the Regulations.
4.8 If an Agreement is concluded for a fixed term, a Subscriber who is not a Consumer is obligated to pay the Minimum Agreement Value in full during the term of the Agreement, covering the costs of service implementation, equipment operation, energy costs, and other operational costs. This constitutes the total fees due to the Operator. This provision does not apply to payments for additional services not explicitly included in the Agreement but ordered separately, e.g., as a one-time order. If the service is terminated prematurely due to the Subscriber’s fault (termination or withdrawal), the Subscriber must pay the difference between the minimum amount and the fees already paid under the Agreement. In the case of termination, the amount due includes fees for services during the notice period plus compensation equal to the fees remaining until the end of the service period. If the Agreement is withdrawn from, the amount due as compensation is the difference between the Minimum Agreement Value and the fees paid under the Agreement. Variable costs (such as fees for measured electricity consumption) are not included in these amounts.
4.9 An Agreement concluded for a fixed term during the Minimum Service Period is considered a single continuous service. After the Minimum Service Period, it becomes a recurring service unless the parties extend the Minimum Service Period by an annex to the Agreement.
4.10 The Minimum Service Period for a Subscriber who is a Consumer may not exceed 24 months from the date the Service is activated.
4.11 When concluding an Agreement in Documentary Form, the Operator provides its content and all statements in the form of a durable medium, e.g., an email signed with an appropriate electronic signature.
4.12 The Subscriber may, at any time during the term of the Agreement and within the complaint period (12 months from the end of the Agreement or the last invoice), request all documents related to the Agreement, Regulations, or statements on a durable medium.
4.13 The Minimum Service Period for a Subscriber who is a Para-Consumer may not exceed 24 months from the date of Service activation unless, at the time of concluding the Agreement or Annex, they declare that they waive the rights granted to Consumers.
Art. 5
Required Documents
5.1 The Agreement may be concluded with a natural or legal person who presents the Operator’s Representative with a document confirming their identity or authorization to represent the Subscriber.
5.2 If there are doubts regarding the authority of the Representative of a legal entity, the Operator has the right to request additional documentation.
5.3 If the Agreement is concluded by an attorney-in-fact, the authorized person must confirm their identity to the Operator’s Representative and present a document confirming their authorization.
5.4 To conclude the Agreement, the Operator may verify the identity of the Subscriber or their representative in accordance with legal requirements.
5.5 Para-Consumers are required to submit a declaration of their status as a "micro-entrepreneur" or a public benefit organization and to state whether they waive the rights granted to Consumers.
Art. 6
Usage Monitoring
6.1 For services whose cost depends on resource usage during a given Billing Period, the Operator provides the Subscriber with the ability to check the current resource status via online interfaces.
6.2 Upon the Subscriber’s request, the Operator provides the Subscriber with resource usage measurements from backup measurement systems, if available for a given resource.
6.3 If, for technical reasons, the measurement frequency does not allow for real-time indication or if the resource is measured by an external entity specified in the Agreement, the Operator provides information on resource usage with the granularity permitted by technical capabilities or in a manner consistent with the Agreement.
Art. 7
Modification, Termination, and Expiry of the Agreement
7.1 Any modification of the Agreement requires Written, Electronic, or Documentary Form.
7.2 Either party may terminate an Agreement concluded for an indefinite period or modify such an Agreement in a way that limits the scope of provided Services by submitting a termination notice, effective at the end of the Billing Period following the Billing Period in which the termination was submitted. The termination date is considered the date the termination notice is received by the Operator. During the termination period, the Service is provided under the terms of the Agreement until its termination date.
7.3 The Subscriber may withdraw from the Agreement if the provision of Services does not commence within 30 days from the date specified in the Agreement.
7.4 A one-time change in service parameters that increases its scope, such as activating an additional service, increasing service parameters, bandwidth, or a cable television package, may be ordered by phone or through another remote communication method provided by the Operator. In cases where the order involves significant financial or organizational commitments for the Subscriber, the Operator may require confirmation of the order in Writing, Electronic, or Documentary Form.
7.5 If the Subscriber terminates an Agreement concluded for a fixed term before its expiration, or if the Agreement is terminated by the Operator under Article 7.6.4, the Subscriber is required to pay the Minimum Agreement Value, which is the difference between the Minimum Agreement Value and the payments made under the Agreement. For a Subscriber who is a Consumer or a Para-Consumer who has not waived Consumer rights, the obligation includes reimbursement of discounts granted to the Subscriber up to the service expiration date. For a Subscriber who is not a Consumer or a Para-Consumer who has waived Consumer rights, this payment constitutes compensation.
7.6 The Operator may terminate or modify the Agreement in a way that limits the scope of provided Services without prior notice in the following cases:
7.6.1 If before starting the provision of Services, the Operator loses the necessary authorizations to provide Services, particularly the authorization to conduct telecommunications activities, use numbering, or frequency,
7.6.2 If the commencement of Services is otherwise impossible, particularly due to technical reasons,
7.6.3 If telecommunications services provided by other entities that are an integral part of the Operator’s Service are suspended,
7.6.4 If the reasons for Service suspension under Article 14.1 or 14.2 persist for more than 14 days.
7.7 Termination or modification of the Agreement in a way that limits the scope of provided Services is made in electronic, written, or documentary form and is sent by the Operator to the Subscriber’s designated address on a durable medium, and by the Subscriber to the Operator’s address specified in the Agreement.
7.8 The Agreement expires in the event of:
7.8.1 The Operator receiving notice of the Subscriber’s death,
7.8.2 The legal entity Subscriber ceasing to exist unless its legal rights and obligations are transferred to a legal successor.
7.9 Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, the Operator:
7.9.1 Ceases to provide Services unless they were suspended earlier,
7.9.2 Subject to applicable legal provisions, has the right to delete all data and information related to the Subscriber obtained in connection with the provision of Services,
7.9.3 Returns the Subscriber’s devices that were part of a colocation service, provided the Subscriber has settled all financial obligations to the Operator. If the Subscriber has outstanding payments or there are formal deficiencies, the Operator withholds device return or, in justified cases, exercises a lien,
7.9.4 If the Agreement covered a Service in which the Subscriber placed devices or media in colocation and failed to collect them within 14 days of the Agreement’s expiration for reasons not attributable to the Operator, the Operator has the right to charge a storage fee according to the Operator’s price list. The storage fee also applies to the situation described in Article 7.9.3 when non-payment by the Subscriber prevents the return of the devices.
7.10 The Operator confirms every document constituting a declaration of intent between the Subscriber and the Operator in a durable medium without delay, no later than 14 days after receiving it.
Art. 8
Price List
8.1 The amount of fees charged by the Operator for the provided Services is specified in the Price List applicable at the time of Service provision unless the Agreement or Specific Terms define fixed prices for a given Service or its part.
8.2 The Operator reserves the right to change prices not explicitly stated in the Agreement at any time, effective at the end of the billing period following the one in which the price list change occurred. If the price increases, the Operator will notify the Subscriber on a durable medium at least one Billing Period in advance. If the Subscriber does not accept the price increase, they have the right to terminate the Agreement, and if they exercise this right, the Operator is not entitled to any compensation claims, except for the Right to a Balancing Payment.
8.3 The Subscriber may submit a written, electronic, or documentary statement of termination due to non-acceptance of the price increase within 14 days of receiving the notice referred to in Art. 8.2. If the Subscriber does not submit such a statement within this period, it is assumed that they accept the price change.
8.4 For Agreements concluded for a fixed term that explicitly define a fixed subscription fee for the Service, the prices stated in the Agreement apply throughout its duration, unless the Specific Terms state otherwise, provided that the Service’s technical parameters have not changed during this period.
8.5 In the case of Agreements that include a variable cost for electricity, calculated as a lump sum or based on actual consumption, the Operator has the right to change the price of this Service component proportionally to the changes introduced by the electricity supplier. This does not constitute a change to the Agreement.
Art. 9
Invoices and Bills
9.1 The bill is issued for a given Billing Period and includes information on the fees for Services provided by the Operator during that Billing Period or previous Billing Periods, provided they were not included in previous bills.
9.2 The Operator reserves the right to issue bills less frequently than specified in Art. 9.1. The Operator is also entitled to issue a bill for a period shorter than the Billing Period if a specific service or part thereof is shorter than the Billing Period.
9.3 A bill for services charged based on resource usage may be issued separately, after the measurement date, also covering previously unbilled periods in which resource consumption occurred.

13.1.1 The date of signing the Agreement, or
13.1.2 The date of modification of the Agreement.
13.2 The Operator has the right to make the activation of the Service conditional upon:
13.2.1 In the case of Subscribers who have failed or are failing to meet their obligations towards the Operator at the time of activation of the Service or an additional service, providing an Operator-approved confirmation of the ability to meet the obligation towards the Operator, in particular by providing an appropriate security deposit,
13.2.2 Providing a deposit or another security specified in the Agreement,
13.2.3 Submitting the documents specified in Art. 5,

The Subscriber must provide access to installation locations upon the Operator’s request, especially for removing failures.
13.5 Before the commencement of the Service, the Operator will conduct tests at its own expense to verify that the Service meets the technical and quality parameters specified in the Agreement. If the test is successful, the Subscriber must sign the Service acceptance protocol if the Operator provides such a protocol.
13.6 For data transmission services, the activation process begins when the Operator presents a handover protocol for a given Link to the Subscriber or their designated representative specified in the Agreement. The presentation of the protocol confirms the Operator’s readiness to provide the Service via that Link.
13.7 The Subscriber must sign the protocol within 7 business days from its presentation. During this period, the Subscriber may conduct their own tests to verify the proper functioning of the Service.
13.8 The Operator starts charging for the Service from the activation date and the issuance of the "acceptance protocol" by the Operator, unless the Subscriber submits justified objections regarding the proper operation of the Service within 7 business days from the protocol presentation, and the identified issues are not immediately resolved.
13.9 If the protocol cannot be presented to the Subscriber's designated representative in the Agreement, or if the protocol is not signed within the specified timeframe, the Operator will begin charging for the Service from the activation date and issuance of the "acceptance protocol."
13.10 Signing the "acceptance protocol" does not in any way limit the Subscriber’s right to submit further complaints under these Regulations or applicable laws but serves as confirmation that the Subscriber accepted the Service in a technical condition that meets the Agreement’s provisions at the time of activation.
Art. 14
Service Suspension or Restriction
14.1 The Operator has the right to limit or suspend the provision of Services to the Subscriber if the Subscriber:
14.1.1 Being a Consumer, delays payment of any amount due to the Operator by more than 15 days after being notified to settle the overdue payment, or a non-Consumer delays payment for more than 15 days from the due date, provided at least 7 days have passed since the payment reminder or 3 days in the case of service restrictions.

15.9.2 Be sent to the complainant by registered mail.
15.10 The Subscriber has the right to:
15.10.1 Submit an appeal against the Operator’s response within 30 days from receiving it, or
15.10.2 At any time, take the matter to a common court, or if the complainant is a Consumer, pursue claims in mediation or arbitration proceedings, provided the complaint process has been exhausted.

Art. 16
Liability
16.1 The Operator is liable for non-performance or improper performance of the Agreement only to the extent specified in the Regulations, Specific Terms, or Agreement, unless otherwise provided in the Agreement or such liability arises directly from the law.
16.2 The Operator shall not be liable for the non-performance or improper performance of the Agreement if the Subscriber fails to fulfill their obligations under the Regulations, Specific Terms, Price List, or Agreement, where such failure affects the Operator’s ability to fulfill the Agreement properly.
16.3 The Operator is not responsible for the compatibility or defects of devices other than the Subscriber Devices specified in Art. 12.1 and does not provide their repair, adjustment, or adaptation unless the devices are leased to the Subscriber under the Agreement.
16.4 If a Service failure lasts more than 24 hours, a non-Consumer Subscriber (or a Paraconsumer who waived Consumer rights) may demand a contractual penalty of 1/30 of the average value of the last three invoices for each additional 24 hours of failure. However, for telephone service interruptions, the penalty applies only if the failure lasts more than 12 hours.
16.5 If a Service failure or interruption is caused by another operator’s network failure, scheduled maintenance, or external factors, a Consumer may claim a penalty of 1/30 of the average value of the last three invoices for each additional 24 hours of failure, with the same 12-hour rule applying to telephone service failures.
16.6 If the Service activation is delayed, the Subscriber may claim 1/30 of the fixed monthly fee for each day of delay, provided that the Agreement specifies a clear activation date.
16.7 The period during which the Subscriber is entitled to a contractual penalty does not include the time during which the failure could not be resolved due to the Subscriber’s fault.
16.8 The Subscriber must allow the Operator access to the Subscriber Device in the Premises for inspections, measurements, and failure repairs.
16.9 The contractual penalty is paid based on a complaint submitted under Art. 15 of the Regulations.
16.10 The total contractual penalties in a Billing Period cannot exceed the subscription fee for that period for non-Consumer Subscribers, unless the Agreement states otherwise.
16.11 The Operator is not liable for lost profits of the Subscriber, unless otherwise specified in the Agreement.
16.12 The Operator is not liable for damages caused by the Subscriber’s disclosure of passwords or other access data to third parties or failure to properly secure their data, unless such security is the Operator’s obligation under the Agreement.
16.13 The Operator is not responsible for damages caused by the Subscriber’s insufficient or incorrect selection of telecommunication resources, covered by the Agreement. This includes exceeding bandwidth limits, exceeding storage capacity, or exceeding allocated memory.
Art. 17
Quality of Data Transmission and Internet Access Services in the Operator’s Network
17.1 The traffic management measures applied by the Operator do not affect the quality of Internet access services, the privacy of end-users, or the protection of their personal data, except for actions taken during mitigation of attacks (DDoS) on the Subscriber’s resources, which may temporarily limit access to some Internet resources.
17.2 Contractual limits on transfer or bandwidth do not affect the quality of connections within the Operator’s network, provided that these limits are not exceeded by the Subscriber's inbound and outbound traffic. If the contractual limits are exceeded, Internet access speed may be restricted, which may result in slower performance, reduced application responsiveness, increased packet transmission times, or partial packet loss.
17.3 The Operator guarantees no lower than the contractually specified download and upload speeds in its network and Internet access service, meaning that the provided Internet link meets or exceeds 100% of the bandwidth specified in the Agreement.
17.4 If technically applicable, the Operator defines the following speed parameters in the Agreement:
17.4.1 Minimum Speed (CIR) – The lowest guaranteed transmission speed within the Operator’s network for the given Subscriber service,
17.4.2 Typically Available Speed – The average transmission speed within the Operator’s network for the Subscriber’s service in a given billing period,
17.4.3 Declared Speed – The speed assigned to a specific service type, published in the Operator’s publicly available offer,
17.4.4 Maximum Speed – The highest transmission speed that the Subscriber’s devices can achieve within the Operator’s network under the Service.
17.5 In the Operator’s network, the Minimum Speed, Typically Available Speed, and Maximum Speed are identical and constitute at least 100% of the speed specified in the Agreement, unless otherwise stated.
17.6 If the Operator does not meet the contractual speed parameters described in Art. 17, the Subscriber may initiate a complaint procedure in accordance with Art. 15 of the Regulations.
17.7 Measurements of deviations from the contractual speed parameters must be performed using dedicated measurement devices, connected directly and exclusively to the network termination point, with the second test point located within the Operator’s network. The measurement must use a lossy protocol with UDP packets.
17.8 The Operator does not apply traffic management policies based on the type or category of applications.
17.9 The Operator does not apply blocking or filtering on the Subscriber’s access lines, except in cases specified in these Regulations or the Agreement, or when such restrictions are requested by the Subscriber.
17.10 The Operator provides the Subscriber with a web-based monitoring tool to track real-time network resource usage. The Operator also provides detailed measurements upon the Subscriber’s request.
Art. 18
Additional Duties and Rights of the Subscriber
18.1 The Subscriber is required to immediately inform the Operator of any changes concerning their legal status or updates to data that were required for signing the Agreement.
18.2 If the Subscriber fails to fulfill the obligation specified in Art. 18.1, any correspondence sent by the Operator to the previous address or containing outdated data shall be deemed properly delivered.
18.3 The Subscriber must allow the Operator to perform Scheduled Maintenance necessary to ensure proper Service operation.

If the Subscriber switches providers during a fixed-term Agreement, they must pay fees equivalent to those applicable in the event of early termination, including a termination fee for the notice period and, in the case of Consumers or Paraconsumers, a refund of granted discounts.
For other Subscribers not entitled to Consumer rights, early termination results in compensation equal to the total remaining contractual obligations.
Art. 19
Confidentiality of Electronic Communications
19.1 As required by law, the Operator ensures the confidentiality of:
19.1.1 Information transmitted within the telecommunications network or stored on resources covered by the Agreement,
19.1.2 The Subscriber’s personal and contact data,
19.1.3 Information regarding telecommunications connections, attempts to establish connections, and their circumstances and types,
19.1.4 Identification and location data of Network Termination Points between which a telecommunications connection was made, as provided by the Operator’s technology—except where disclosure is legally required.
19.2 The technical measures used by the Operator ensure, under normal conditions, compliance with telecommunications confidentiality requirements. However, the Operator does not guarantee absolute security, particularly in cases of:
Service failures,
Unauthorized actions by third parties or the Subscriber,
Force majeure events beyond the Operator’s control.
19.3 The Operator’s telecommunications network allows number identification transmission, meaning that another network user may view the Subscriber’s network termination number.
The Subscriber may request that the Operator block caller ID presentation on their telephone number.
19.4 If a non-Consumer Subscriber is assigned IP address pools, their allocation is subject to RIPE (Réseaux IP Européens) regulations and will be registered in the RIPE database, to which the Subscriber agrees.

In such cases, the Operator is not entitled to claim compensation, except for the Equalization Fee if applicable.
20.2 The Subscriber has 14 days from receiving the notification to submit a written, electronic, or documentary statement terminating the Agreement due to disagreement with the amendments.
Failure to submit a termination statement within this period means the Subscriber accepts the changes.

The changes result from legal amendments, or
The changes are clearly beneficial to the Subscriber and do not increase financial or contractual obligations.
