    2. To this end, Vianova may limit Internet connection speeds (known as traffic shaping), intervening as a matter of priority on mobile applications that involve higher bandwidth consumption (e.g. peer-to-peer, file sharing, etc.) or that exceed a certain amount of data exchanged (megabytes/hour).

    3. During the suspension period, Vianova will allow access (within Italy) to emergency numbers (112, 113, 115, and 118) and to Customer Service (145), unless the suspension is due to a force majeure event.
    4. In cases where the Customer has a Subscription Plan, Vianova will have the right to suspend the Customer in the event of a default.

    5. Following the verification of the sums due from the Customer, including those owed to foreign operators for international traffic, Vianova will assess the value of the traffic according to the terms and specifications indicated in the Vianova Offer and will invoice the Customer for the amounts due.
  22. Termination of the Contract
    1. Vianova will have the right to terminate the Contract pursuant to Article 1456 of the Italian Civil Code by giving written notice via registered letter with return receipt, fax, or certified email, in the event that the Customer delays in fulfilling or fails to fulfill (even in part) the payment obligations set out in Article 4, or fails to fulfill any one of the obligations incumbent upon it according to Articles 3 (untruthfulness, incompleteness, inconsistency of the documentation and information provided), 10 (use of the SIM in a way that does not comply with the Contract), 14, and 15.
    2. In the aforementioned cases, Vianova reserves the right to claim for the damages suffered.

    1. If the Customer requests the MNP service, the following General Supply Terms and Conditions will also be applied.
  2. Definitions
    In addition to the definitions indicated in the Vianova General Supply Terms and Conditions, the following are added:
    • Donor Operator: the Operator to which the number covered by the portability request is assigned by the competent administrative bodies;
    • Donating Operator: the Operator that transfers the number. In the case of initial portability, the Donor and Donating Operators are the same;
    • Recipient Operator: the Operator that acquires the Customer with the number transferred;
    • Ported Number: the number of the National Numbering Plan for Mobile and Personal Communications Services (Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number – MSISDN) acquired by the Recipient Operator;
    • Activation Date: the date on which the ported number is activated by the Recipient Operator and simultaneously disconnected by the Donating Operator.
  3. Subject of MNP
    1. These MNP General Supply Terms and Conditions govern the relationship between Vianova and the Customer regarding the MNP Service.
    2. This service allows the Customer to use the Vianova Mobile services without changing the telephone number assigned to it by another mobile Operator.
    3. To this end, the Customer expresses its unequivocal desire to terminate the existing contractual relationship with the Donating Operator regarding the telephone number to be ported and to establish a contractual relationship with Vianova, with the consequent activation of the indicated number on the latter’s mobile network.
    4. Vianova will provide the MNP service in part by making use of the collaboration and services of third parties.
  4. Activation of MNP
    1. The Customer may send a request to activate the MNP service, which must be accompanied by a copy of the Customer’s valid identity document or the legal representative’s valid identity document.
    2. The number portability request does not relieve the Customer of the obligations arising from the previous contract with the Donating Operator.
    3. From the date on which MNP is activated, the ported number will be available to the Customer on the Vianova SIM card, and the Customer will be able to use Vianova Mobile.
    4. MNP can only take place following the signing of a Subscription Plan contract or the activation of a Pay-As-You-Go SIM card.
  5. Specific obligations of Vianova (Recipient)
    1. In particular, Vianova undertakes:
      1. to transmit the processing order relating to the MNP request to the Donating Operator and, upon the Donating Operator’s documented request following disputes relating to MNP, a copy of the corresponding documentation;
      2. to keep the original MNP request received from the Customer, together with the corresponding documentation;
      3. not to forward the MNP service request to the Donating Operator if it encounters a condition that impedes the activation of the Customer as established in the Vianova Mobile General Supply Terms and Conditions.
    2. In accordance with the Number Portability agreements in force between mobile telephone Operators, MNP is activated within two working days of the request being sent to the Donating Operator.
    3. The Customer acknowledges that, during the operations to activate the MNP service, temporary interruptions to or suspensions of the service may occur in relation to the number covered by the request.
  6. Suspension, refusal, ineffectiveness, and invalidity of the request
    1. The request to activate the MNP service may be suspended, refused, or canceled. The request may be suspended in the event of:
      1. proven technical disruptions;
      2. justified service requirements.
    2. The request may be refused in the following cases:
      1. there is a mismatch between the tax code/VAT number and the number to be ported in the case of a Subscription Plan service provided by the Donating Operator;
      2. there is a mismatch between the serial number of the SIM card and the number to be ported, in the case of a prepaid service provided by the Donating Operator;
      3. the number to be ported does not belong to the Donating Operator or is incorrect;
      4. the data necessary to transmit the request is incomplete or inaccurate;
      5. the service associated with an MSISDN number is completely deactivated by order of the court authorities;
      6. in the absence of a request for the identifier that certifies that the Recipient has acquired the report made to the court authorities, in the event of a lost or stolen SIM;
      7. the number has been deactivated for over 30 calendar days.
    3. The portability request will be canceled in the following cases:
      1. a previous portability request for the same number was sent by the same operator;
      2. a previous portability request for the same number was sent by another operator other than the original operator. Refusal and suspension do not preclude the sending of a new order to activate the MNP service.
  7. Liability
    1. Vianova will in no way be liable in the event of the failed and/or delayed activation of MNP due to causes not attributable to it, namely for circumstances beyond its control, including those attributable to the conduct of third parties (for example the Donor or Donating Operator), in the event that it is not in a position to fulfill its obligations towards the Customer.
    2. Likewise, Vianova will in no way be liable in the event of the suspension of or interruption to the activation of MNP attributable to unforeseeable circumstances, force majeure, or other cases provided for by law, even if this suspension or interruption is permanent.
    3. In the cases indicated above, Vianova will not be liable for any loss, damage, or injury, whether direct or indirect, that is foreseeable or unforeseeable and connected.
  8. Leftover Credit Transfer and arrears
    1. With the activation of the MNP service, the Customer can instruct Vianova to ask the Donating Operator to transfer the Leftover Credit present on the previous Pay-As-You-Go SIM card; the corresponding request is non-reversible.
    2. The Leftover Credit Transfer can only be requested at the same time as the Mobile Number Portability service and is in any case subject to the correct completion of MNP.
    3. The amount transferred will correspond to the amount communicated by the Donating Operator to Vianova, net of complimentary traffic, promotions, auto-top-up options or mechanisms, and any service costs contractually established by the Donating Operator.
    4. The credit transfer will not be carried out if the Customer has zero or insufficient credit, i.e. where the credit is less than any service costs requested by the Donating Operator.
    5. The credit communicated by the previous operator and relating to all the SIM cards transferred to Vianova will be added to the Customer’s Available Credit.
    6. As an alternative to the Leftover Credit Transfer request, the Customer can contact the previous Operator and request that this amount be directly returned according to the relevant contractual conditions.
