Please note that text messages that you send to initiate access to ITV Mobile (e.g. MOBILE to 63330) will be charged at two standard messages (usually 10/12p per message dependent on you Mobile Network Operator’s rates).
When you browse the ITV Mobile Portal (WAP site) on your phone you will be charged by your operator for the data that you use in doing so. What you pay is therefore dependent on your operator's own data charges and the amount that you use the service. Ask your operator for details. ITV is not responsible for billing and will not be liable for any failure on the part of your operator or for signal failures.
You may also purchase other products and services through ITV Mobile. Details of the charges and any other conditions that apply will be detailed to you before you purchase. You will not be able to cancel any such purchase after you have requested it.
Please note that these Service Terms incorporate the ITV Mobile Terms of Use and the ITV Privacy Policy.
