By accepting these terms you agree to make the payments due under this Agreement as they relate to the Services requested and used by you for the Minimum Contract Period. Save in respect of your termination of the Agreement under clause 9.4(a) or 9.4(d), early termination will not relieve you of the payment obligations and liability for those monthly charges applicable for the duration of the Minimum Contract Period. 

3. Service

3.1. We shall provide you with national and international telecommunications services including voice, text and where available 3G data services based on the capabilities of a multi-IMSI SIM card.

availability

3.2. You acknowledge that mobile telephony is a form of wireless communication and operates on the basis of transmission of radio and signal frequencies. As such it can be interfered with by numerous external sources or by obstacles inherent in buildings, vegetation or terrain and as such we cannot guarantee a perfect or error free transmission, both in terms of quality or availability of the Service.

3.3. The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We shall take all reasonable steps to make the Service available to you at all times, contingent upon our and/or our service provider's ability to maintain necessary licenses or permissions, or our and or our service provider's network capacity and connection availability. Please note that the network operator in the country of use will be responsible for network coverage, quality and availability.

3.4. We do not warrant or guarantee a fault free Service and give no warranties or guarantees as to network coverage, quality or availability. In the event of a fault, upon becoming aware of the fault or upon receipt of notice of the existence of such a fault by you, we shall use reasonable efforts to promptly correct the fault.

3.5. We reserve the right to choose our network operators and technology partners as we deem appropriate and to provide access to the Service in any manner we deem in the best interest of our business requirements. In this regard you hereby consent to us disclosing and using any of your personal data for the provision of the Service, subject to any applicable data protection or similar legislation or regulations. Any such use of your personal data will be subject to the terms of our Privacy Policy, updated versions of which shall be notified to you in writing and also be found on our Website.

3.6. If an End User is in an area where their Truphone SIM card is searching for a wireless signal or there is no wireless signal or wireless service, it is highly probable that an Emergency call will not go through. The End User must not rely solely on the Truphone SIM card in an emergency situation. In an emergency, the End User must locate the nearest landline phone and call for help.

local numbers

3.7. You can add multiple available nominated additional country Truphone mobile numbers to your SIM account that we offer as part of our Services and which have been contractually agreed with you.

3.8. The current list of countries where we offer additional local mobile numbers and the process for adding additional country numbers can be found on our Website www.truphone.com or you can call Customer Services for an up to date list and information on how to add an additional country number. Truphone reserves the right to amend this country list from time to time.

3.9. The use of any numbers assigned to your End Users' SIM cards is subject to these terms and conditions and any material breach of these terms and conditions may result in your use of one or more of the allocated numbers being withdrawn from your use.

local tariffs for designated countries

3.10. The unique feature about the Truphone Service is the ability to be charged local rates for calls in countries outside your chosen home country. Where you have subscribed to have access to local tariffs for your SIM for another country and provided the necessary fees have been paid, your End Users will be able to make and receive calls on your Truphone SIM cards at local call rates in those chosen countries.

3.11. Where Truphone does not have an arrangement with a specific country for the purchasing of local rates and thereby the offering of local rates on the Truphone SIM, then your End Users may still use the Truphone SIM but this will be on a roaming basis. You may incur additional charges for this roaming ability including for the making and receiving of calls, texts and data access whilst roaming.

3.12. It is your responsibility to check the billing status (i.e. whether local tariffs are applicable for subscribing to or roaming only) of the country you intend to use the Service in before you travel to that country and incur any charges by using the Services in that country. Truphone will not be liable for any charges incurred by you or your End Users based on your misunderstanding of the applicable and available tariffs in a particular country.

roaming

3.13. As with any GSM mobile service, a core feature of the Service is the inclusion of roaming on foreign networks in order to provide the Service outside your chosen home country and any agreed Truphone designated countries (Roaming). Roaming means that you will be using foreign networks, over which we have no control and therefore cannot provide any guarantees about the Service, particularly its availability or quality. In addition your use of the Service whilst Roaming may be subject to different laws and regulations that apply. We will not accept any liability for your failure to comply with those laws or regulations.

suspension

3.14. From time to time we may be required to upgrade, modify or maintain the Service including the migration of your account from one billing platform to a new or upgraded billing platform. On such occasions the Service may be temporarily unavailable, however, we will endeavour to keep such disruption to a minimum and notify you in advance when possible.

3.15. We reserve the right to suspend the Service, or the Service to any End User(s), as appropriate, without giving you notice where:

a) we have reason to believe you or an End User are in breach of the Service conditions of usage (condition 5 below) or any of our policies as notified to you;

b) pending the outcome of an investigation following receipt of a complaint made against you or an End User;

c) there are any outstanding bills or Service charges which have not been paid when they are due for payment and Truphone has provided reasonable written notice for remedying the non payment of the outstanding bills;

d) we are notified that the SIM card licensed to you and an End User by us is lost or stolen;

e) we are obliged to comply with an order, instruction or request of any government, regulatory, or emergency services organisation, or other competent administrative authority;

f) in order to prevent damage or degradation of our or our contracting party's network integrity which may be caused by you or anyone using your access;

g) for operational reasons or in an emergency or for security reasons.

monitoring

3.16. We may at our discretion bar or disconnect an End User's SIM if we have reasonable cause to suspect any form of fraudulent use including relating to a SIM card or mobile phone whilst using the Service.

3.17. We may monitor the Service and disclose information gained from such monitoring in order to satisfy any law, regulation or other governmental request, to operate and administer the Service, or to protect us or our other customers. 

4. Activation

4.1. The Service shall commence following activation of the SIM card so that the Service is operationally available for your End Users' use (Activation). Activation can be done on the Website; or by dialling 808; or calling Customer Support on UK +44 20 3318 0733 or USA +1-646-358-3496 or AUS +61 289 994 206.

content

5.6. You are solely responsible for any and all content, information and communications transmitted to or by an End User using the Service and you agree that we have no responsibility for the deletion, corruption or failure to store any content received on or transmitted using the Service.

regulatory compliance

5.7. Certain countries have additional regulatory requirements that need to be fulfilled prior to Truphone being permitted to provide certain elements of the Services to customers. These include the obtaining, verification and retention of End User personal data. If an End User intends to travel to a country where Truphone is required to satisfy these additional regulatory requirements, then it is a condition of Truphone providing the Service that you co-operate and provide the required information and/or documentation prior to obtaining the Services.
