Mobile telephony is a form of wireless communication and operates on the basis of the transmission of radio and signal frequencies. The transmission of these radio and signal frequencies may be affected by congestion on the Network due to the number of calls or messages or the amount of data being sent and received.

The transmission of the radio and signal frequencies may also be affected by the location of the base stations, obstacles such as buildings or underpasses, and by external factors such as geographic or atmospheric conditions. The Services may also be affected by the quality of the GSM mobile telephone chosen and used by you.

The Roaming Services are subject to the roaming contracts and service quality levels that have been agreed between other national and international telecommunications operators.

SIMs

The Customer agrees to use the SIM Card in a compatible GSM mobile telephone for the purpose of using the Services. IC Mobile Limited. is not the supplier of the GSM mobile telephone. The Customer is solely responsible for any fault with the GSM mobile telephone, which may cause interference, or problems with your use of the Services.

When the SIM Card has been inserted and Customers have registered or activated their Account, they will have access to, and be able to use, the Services.

Associated with your SIM Card are the PIN code (personal identification number) and the PUK code (personal unlocking key). The PIN and PUK codes must never be kept together. You will take every necessary precaution to preserve the secrecy of your PIN and PUK codes. You will be liable for any fraudulent or improper use of your SIM Card or Account that results from the intentional or accidental disclosure of your PIN or PUK code or the transfer of your SIM Card to another person.

The SIM Card remains the exclusive property IC Mobile Limtied. Customers must retain the SIM Card and not lose or damage the SIM Card. IC Mobile. will only replace a SIM Card where it is found to be defective by reason of faulty workmanship or design. IC Mobile may charge you for a replacement SIM Card where IC Mobile. reasonably believes that you are responsible for the loss or damage of your original SIM Card or where someone has stolen your original SIM Card. It is your responsibility to promptly inform IC Mobile. of any loss, damage or theft to your SIM Card, or any fraudulent or improper use of your SIM Card.

If you do not use your SIM Card to make a voice call, or send a message or data, or if you do not purchase a top-up using the Top-Up Services, for a period of 31 days from the date you registered or activated your Account or your last use of the Services (whichever is later), IC Mobile will contact you by SMS or e-mail advising you that your SIM Card will be deactivated. IC Mobile will then provide you with an additional 57 days to make a voice call, send a message or data, or purchase a top-up using the Top-Up Services.

If you make a voice call, send a message or data, or purchase a top-up using the Top-Up Services within the additional 57 day period, your SIM Card will remain active. Any previous credit balance in your Account will remain available for you to use, and you will be able to access and use the Services.

The Top-up Services

The Services are prepaid services. The Customers are required to Top Up in advance, so their Account is in credit. As Charges are incurred, they will be deducted from the amount of credit already applied to the Customer’s Account. No bill or invoice or statement will be issued to you. The Customers may check their credit balance from time-to-time by calling the number listed in the User Guide.

The Customers pay for the Services by topping-up your Account using any one of the Top-Up Services available from IC Mobile. The Customers may use the Top-Up Services at any time after registration or activation of your Account. There are several ways that you may top-up your Account:

The Customers may register your details with IC Mobile, purchase a Top-Up Voucher online and activate the PIN Code by using the Online Top-Up service.

If The Customers top-up their Account within ninety (90) days from the date they registered or activated their Account or your last use of the Services (whichever is later), the amount of the top-up credit the Customers purchased will be added to the credit balance in their Account at the time of your top-up.

The credit balance in Accounts of the Customers may only be used for the Services. The Customers are not entitled to receive any cash refund for any credit balance remaining in their Account at any time, including where they fail to use the Services and their SIM Card has been deactivated or where this Agreement has been terminated.

Interest is not payable on any credit balance in the Customers’ Account. Each time the Customers use the Services (or someone else uses their GSM mobile telephone) the credit balance in your Customers’ Account will be reduced for the voice call, message or data you are making or sending according to the destination and the current Charges.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Top Up Voucher shall expire on the date stated on the Voucher (if any).
