    • indicates that there will be extra costs (above the estimated costs) to provide the Service; when installing and connecting the service, something is discovered which was not highlighted by the
    • survey, and this results in there being extra costs (above the estimated costs as confirmed or as changed as a result of any extra costs arising from the survey); or when installing and connecting the Service, you or the landlord of your site asks to (and we agree to) make a change to the Service, and this results in there being any extra costs; the Customer will be advised.

However, HQ TELECOM gives no warranty or assurance that it will ensure that such a warning shall be given).
