Web Threat Protect terms and conditions

What we provide

1. The service we agree to give you is a BT network-based service for BT Broadband customers that helps protect devices (including PCs, laptops, tablets, iPads, mobile devices and smartphones) that connect to your home internet service via a BT hub. It also helps protect you when you access the internet from BT Wi-Fi hotspots in the UK when you log in using your BT ID.

When the service starts

2. The service starts when you activate it via bt.com/turnonbtprotect using your BT ID, unless we turn it on automatically when you buy BT Broadband from us.

Cancellation

3. If you wish to cancel the service you must deactivate it via bt.com/turnoffbtprotect using your BT ID.

Quality of Service

4. Although we endeavour to provide you with the best possible service, we cannot guarantee that the service will never be faulty. However, we will correct all reported faults as soon as we reasonably can.

5. If there is a fault with the service you should contact us. Details of how to contact us can be found at bt.com/contact.

Changes we may make

6. We may occasionally upgrade and/or make improvements to your service. If we do this, we may provide you with instructions that you must follow if required.
