TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In every case, by submitting payment for a mobile number from us, you automatically agree without exception to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions in their entirety regardless of whether or not you have read them in their entirety and/or regardless of whether or not you have intentionally acknowledged or signalled your acceptance of them.
SECTION A: GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. AVAILABILITY OF A MOBILE NUMBER
- We reserve the right at all times to withdraw any mobile number from sale, either temporarily or indefinitely, or to refuse to sell any mobile number, for any reason whatsoever without any prior notice, explanation or liability to us. Our decision is final.
- All mobile numbers are offered for sale subject to availability. If the mobile number you purchased is subsequently found to be unavailable for any reason, we will offer you the choice of an alternative mobile number or a full refund of any money paid in accordance with Section 5 of these Terms and Conditions.
- Mobile numbers cannot be reserved and are offered for sale on a strictly first-come, first-served basis only (subject to availability).
2. PAYMENT
- We only accept payment by (i) credit or debit card via the official Worldpay website (our online payment provider/processor) or, (ii) bank transfer direct from your bank account to our bank account or (iii) cash paid into our bank account “over-the-counter” at any UK branch of National Westminster Bank PLC (also known as NatWest Bank). We reserve the right for any reason, to change the method of payment you must make when submitting payment to us for a mobile number, and you will be advised accordingly should this be the case.
- If you are not paying us by credit or debit card, payment must be received into our bank account within three banking days of the date you were provided with our bank details. If payment has not been received within that period we may, at our sole discretion, cancel any purchase and/or offer any number for resale without any prior notification or liability to us.
- You, or any parties that you represent, take sole responsibility for all losses incurred if a payment fails to reach our bank account for whatever reason. We will accept no liability whatsoever where any funds, money or payment has been sent to our bank account but does not reach our bank account. In particular, all cash payments made to us are at your own risk and you will be liable and responsible for any and all losses incurred.
- You agree to pay any and all associated charges or costs that may be levied by any bank, building society or any other third party entity for providing you with any payment service.
- No mobile number or Porting Authorisation Code (hereon referred to as a PAC) shall be released to you without full payment first being received by us. All mobile numbers remain our property until such times.
3. PRICING
- All prices quoted by us are quoted in British Pounds (£) Sterling. We do not accept any other currency.
- We reserve the right to amend, change or vary the prices of any of our mobile numbers at our sole discretion without prior notification or explanation.
4. TRANSFER OF POSSESSION
- Possession of all mobile numbers is transferred from us to you normally using a PAC which is issued by the appropriate mobile network the mobile number is connected with at that time. At all times we reserve the right to decide the communication method we will use to provide you with any PAC, including but not limited to: email, letter, text message or verbally by telephone.
- It is your sole responsibility to pass any PAC that we give to you to your Service Provider as soon as is reasonably possible after receiving it from us, and in every case before the quoted expiry date of the PAC we have provided to you. Failure to do this may result in you losing the mobile number that you purchased with no liability to us.
- If you fail to use the PAC we supplied to you before the quoted expiry date and you require a replacement PAC, we may charge you an administration fee of £50.00 for providing you with a replacement PAC. In this event we will require you to pay this charge prior to the issuing of a new PAC, and payment is to be made to us in full accordance with Section 2 of this agreement. This charge may be levied subsequently without limit for the issuing of any further replacement PACs.
- We will not accept any liability or responsibility for any PAC issued to you that is subsequently used without your knowledge or permission.
- Under certain circumstances it may be necessary to transfer a mobile number to you by us arranging to connect the number directly to a suitable SIM card you own (hereon referred to as the donor SIM card). This is commonly referred to as a SIM swap or a number swap. All SIM swaps are done solely at our discretion and we retain the right to refuse this method of transfer without any explanation or liability to us.
- In the event that we deem it appropriate to transfer a number by means of a SIM swap, it is your responsibility to provide us with the appropriate and correct donor SIM card details we require in order to successfully complete the swap. The information we require may include, but is not limited to, a SIM Serial Number (SSN) or mobile number attached to the donor SIM card prior to the swap taking effect.
- In providing us with any donor SIM card information we require, you understand and agree that the mobile number connected to the donor SIM card prior to the swap taking place will be disconnected and permanently lost. You also understand and agree that you will be solely responsible for any costs incurred in purchasing, or otherwise acquiring, said donor SIM card.
- As all SIM swaps involve a third party (a mobile network service provider) we cannot specify an exact timeframe for any swap taking effect, and we accept no liability or responsibility whatsoever for any delays in a SIM swap taking effect.
- We do not release or send SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards to clients.
5. CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
- These Terms and Conditions comply with the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000. As performance of our service begins, with your payment being made, there can be no cooling-off period and no right to cancel (under Regulation 13).
- It is of the utmost importance that you are committed to your choice of mobile number specified at the time of purchase, as we shall not consider any requests for cancellations under any circumstances, regardless of the reason, once your payment has been received by us.
- We check and test all mobile numbers prior to release to a client. After the porting of your mobile number completes and it is connected to your own SIM card, we shall cease to consider or offer any refund after this time. Any subsequent faults, issues or problems that may arise with your mobile number will then be the responsibility of the Service Provider your mobile number is connected with and will not be our responsibility.
- If you are entitled to a refund, any such refund will be paid to you by any method of payment of our choice. This may not be using the original method of payment. Our decision is final in respect of all cancellations or refunds and you acknowledge this, and automatically agree to abide by this statement of fact, when you submit payment to purchase any mobile number from us.
6. OUR RIGHT TO CANCEL
- We fully reserve the right to cancel any contract of sale between us and you at any time and without notice, reason or explanation and with no liability to us or you.
- If we decide to cancel any agreement between us and you, we will contact you in the first instance in writing informing you of our decision to cancel. Our decision will be final.
- Any monies paid to us shall be refunded in accordance with our refund terms applicable in Section 5 of these Terms and Conditions.
7. WARRANTIES
- You should be aware that you are purchasing from us the use of a specific mobile number. The use of such mobile number can be subject to cancellation by a Service Provider or other third party entity without prior notice and we cannot accept any liability or responsibility for any subsequent termination of a mobile number, and do not warrant that your use of any mobile number purchased from us shall be uninterrupted or indefinite.
- We shall not be held liable or responsible for any faults, issues or problems whatsoever that may arise after you have taken possession of your mobile number, including but not limited to, breaks in service, mobile number incompatibility, network incompatibility, restrictions of service, failure of own mobile number sending/caller ID, and/or any other faults or problems that may arise whatsoever with your mobile number.
- All network services are network dependent and we shall not be held responsible or liable to you in any way for any network services or features whatsoever being incompatible with any mobile number purchased from us and/or otherwise unavailable for any reason whatsoever.
- We shall be deemed to have fulfilled all our obligations to you in respect of any mobile number purchased from us as soon as that mobile number has been successfully connected onto your own SIM card by your Service Provider. At the point the mobile number connects to your own SIM card, any subsequent faults, issues or problems that may arise in whatever shape or form, or for whatever reason, shall not be our responsibility and we shall accept no liability or responsibility under any circumstances. Any and all faults, issues or problems that may arise with your mobile number must thereafter be directed to the appropriate Service Provider the mobile number is connected with.
- As it is the sole decision of every Service Provider to permit or refuse the porting or transferring of a mobile number onto their network, we do not make any guarantee that use of any mobile number sold by us will be permitted for use on any specific mobile network. It is therefore your responsibility to check with your preferred Service Provider that they will accept the mobile number you want to purchase from us before you actually purchase the mobile number. We will not be held liable or responsible for any instances where a Service Provider refuses your request to port or transfer any mobile number to them.
8. SECURITY
- It is your responsibility to make suitable provision for the safety and security of your mobile number from the moment it is connected to your own SIM card. From that point thereafter you or your Service Provider are responsible for ensuring that your mobile number and/or mobile account remains safe, secure and free from fraud or theft.
- We shall not be held liable in any way whatsoever for any subsequent theft, attempted or actual, of any mobile number purchased from us after that mobile number has been connected and/or transferred to your own SIM card.
- By agreeing to abide by these Terms and Conditions you fully understand your responsibility to ensure that your mobile number is secure at all times and furthermore, that you have legally waived any and/or all rights to take any action against us whatsoever should a mobile number purchased from us be taken from your possession without your express consent.
