About the Services

This agreement sets out the terms and conditions of use of the services. You must consent to these terms and conditions to be able to use the services.
As well as these terms and conditions, your use of the services is subject to other legal stuff (such as our Privacy Policy) which applies to the services which will be published from time to time on our website. We may also introduce a Traffic Management Policy which would provide further details on the use of the services. We may also take measures to help us prevent fraud and to ensure that excessive use of the services by some users does not prevent other users of the service from enjoying the services.
The services that we provide to you are the ability to access the internet and send and receive data through our wireless broadband network and through the internet using wireless technology that we make publicly available in the London Underground. This service is available to existing giffgaff mobile members who also sign up to receive giffgaff Wifi services. This service is not available to non-giffgaff mobile members. giffgaff members must have used their SIM card in line with 13.3 of the giffgaff Terms and Conditions to be eligible to use the service.
We reserve the right to monitor and control data volume and/or types of traffic transmitted via the services.

Using the Service

The service starts when you first connect to a London Underground WiFi access point.
In order to use the service, you must be an existing giffgaff SIM card user and member and have downloaded and installed the giffgaff app. You will need to log-in to the app and opt-in to the WiFi access within the settings page of the giffgaff app. (You should do this before going into the London Underground as you can't register for the first time on the London Underground itself). When members first sign in to the London Underground service, their details will be verified to ensure they are an eligible giffgaff member. Once this has been done, they will be able to use the service.
These London Underground terms apply in addition to the giffgaff O2 Wifi Extra Terms. If there is any inconsistency between these terms and the giffgaff O2 Wifi Extra Terms then the London Underground terms will prevail.
To start using the service on the Underground, you must have downloaded the giffgaff app first and then, depending on your device’s operating system, either:
- Toggled the WiFi switch in the app to “On” (Android);
- pressed “Install WiFi settings” (iOS); or
- followed instructions in the app (Windows).
This will install the necessary settings to your device. Then when in the Underground you should automatically be connected to the service.
