Hardware Rental Terms

These terms and conditions are specific to modems supplied for Wireless Broadband rental plans.

Equipment and Ownership

SpinTel retains ownership of the modem supplied to you for your Wireless Broadband rental plan. We may supply a refurbished modem that has been tested and factory reset before dispatch.

When your rental plan ends, you must return the modem to SpinTel within 21 days. If you do not return the modem, or if it is damaged or misused (excluding reasonable wear and tear), you must pay the full retail price of the modem.

Installation

Your modem is delivered before your service is installed. Setup is self-service plug and play.

Faulty and Replacement Equipment

If you have a problem with your modem whilst you have an active service, we will send you a replacement modem and a return bag for the faulty unit. If your exact model is unavailable, we will substitute a modem with similar functionality.

You must return the faulty modem within 21 days of the replacement being dispatched. We run diagnostics when the modem is returned. You are not charged if the modem is faulty, excluding reasonable wear and tear.
