Fees & Terms of Service

Full service fees listing

No-one likes fees on top of services – which is why we’re up front and keep ours to the bare minimum. You’ll see our full list of fees (in addition to your your base monthly service fee) below.

Fee Name	Price	Occurrence
Setup Fee	$29	One-off setup of a new connection at time of order.
Late Payment Fee	$15	Added once payment has not been received by 5 days after an invoice due date.
Reconnection Fee	$49	Payment to reconnect a service which has been terminated for non-payment (in addition to payment of the overdue balance and any late fees incurred).
No Fault Found Fee	$199	Payable if a fault is lodged with a fibre company which is proved to not be caused by the fibre infrastructure (e.g. internal wiring, fibre damaged within your property boundary or router misconfiguration)

What happens if I don’t pay my bill?

In order to keep our prices low, Quic uses a lot of automation behind the scenes to cut out manual work. This means that if you fail to make payment on an invoice, our systems will perform the following actions:

Days overdue	Action
1 day	First invoice overdue reminder email sent.
3 days	Second invoice overdue reminder email sent.
5 days	Late fee added to overdue invoice. Service suspended & disconnected. Service suspension email sent. (Service is restored immediately once invoice has been paid.)
10 days	Third & final invoice overdue reminder email sent. (Service is restored immediately once invoice has been paid.)
14 days	Service terminated & disconnected. Service termination email sent. (Service can no longer be automatically restored.)
