In this section of the Terms, a reference to “we”, “our” or “us” means eSIM Go Limited, and not Bitrefill, and a reference to “you” or “your” means the person which purchased a Bitrefill eSIM Plan from our website.

Definition. This section “Bitrefill eSIM” (and only this section) uses the following defined terms:

• Activation (and Activated) means registering your eSIM onto a mobile network for the first time for a Plan, or Plans, purchased for the country in which Activation occurs;
• Affiliate means Bitrefill;
• Compatible Mobile Device means a device which can register onto a mobile data network and consuming the Supplier Mobile Data service without a physical subscriber identification module, a list of which is available at the Supplier’s website(and may be amended by Supplier without notice from time to time)
• Competent Authority means any person or entity with relevant statutory jurisdiction over you, the Supplier, or the Mobile Data service;
• Consumer means a natural person entering into this agreement and/or using the Mobile Data services outside their business, trade or profession;
• eSIM means the profile supplied by Supplier for the purposes of using Mobile Data services on a Compatible Mobile Device (including compatible tablets and laptops);
• Group Companies means any subsidiary of eSIM Go Limited, its parent(s) and any subsidiaries of those parent(s);
• Mobile Data means GPRS, 3G, HSDPA, LTE, LTE+ and 5G mobile carrier network access providing access to the internet through the receipt and transmission of electromagnetic energy over paths that are not provided by any material substance constructed or arranged for the purpose of conveying electromagnetic energy; and
• Plan means the Mobile Data package you purchased from us via our website;
• Virus means any manipulating program which modifies other programs and/or replicates itself, or any malicious code or agent introduced to a system for the purposes of spying or causing harm.

Plan. You have the right to cancel your Plan, providing you do so within fourteen (14) days of purchase and have not Activated your Plan or Plans.

All our Plans come with a pre-loaded data allowance that lasts for the term specified when purchased, starting from Activation until the included data allowance is used or the term expires. If your Plan expires before any or all the included data allowance is used, you will lose the remaining balance of any included data allowance.

Any Plans which are not Activated within twelve (12) months of purchase shall expire without any refund to you. Any eSIM which is not used within twelve (12) months of allocation may be cancelled and you may be required to load a new eSIM to your device(s) prior to Activation of a Plan or Plans.

You may purchase additional inclusive allowances from the our website (subject to availability) by purchasing new Plans, at the prevailing rate in force at the time. We do not warrant that any particular Plan will be available, nor guarantee any prices in the future.

We will use reasonable endeavours to let you know by e-mail and an SMS (to your eSIM) when you have used certain percentages of your Plan, and when the Plan is exhausted.  Once the Plan is exhausted, you may need to use WiFi or alternative means of accessing our website to purchase an additional Plan if you need one as Mobile Data connectivity from your device shall cease to work until a new Plan is Activated.

Any inclusive data allowance you have is for use when in the countries specified at the time you purchased your Plan.

Using our Mobile Data service. You may only use our Mobile Data service for your own personal use during short-term travel away from your normal country of residence. You must only use the Mobile Data service in accordance with our Acceptable Use Policy and may not use it for more than sixty (60) consecutive days in any one country.

Our Plans are a Mobile Data service only and do not support voice calling or access to the emergency services.

The Mobile Data service depends on coverage from our in-country network partners which is not guaranteed nor is the Mobile Data service itself guaranteed to be fault-free or free from interruptions. Factors such as (but not limited to) atmospheric conditions, population density, usage of the network by others, terrain, distance from the nearest cellular tower(s), position within a building all affect the quality of the Mobile Data service.

All your usage of the Mobile Data service will be debited from your inclusive data allowance, regardless of how that allowance was consumed (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes any usage caused by a Virus). You are strongly advised to keep your device secure (for example, but not limited to, preventing accidental or malicious pairing), your Breeze account credentials secure, and deactivate downloads or streaming services on devices with a Plan except for over WiFi.

We, or our Affiliate, may take steps to protect the integrity of the Mobile Data service from time to time, by applying traffic management controls the details of which shall be available on our website and amended by us (without notice) from time to time.

Our Liability to You. We are only liable to you as set out in this section. We have no other duty or liability to you.

Except as set out in the preceding two paragraphs, our total liability to you for something we or anyone who works for us does or does not do will be limited to £1,000 for one incident or £3,000 for a number of incidents within any twelve (12) month period.

If you are using the Mobile Data service in connection with your trade or profession, we are not liable to you in any way for any loss or damage that was not reasonably foreseeable at the time you entered this Agreement.

If you are a Consumer, we are not liable to you in any way for any loss of income; business or profits; or for any loss or damage that was not reasonably foreseeable at the time you entered this Agreement.

You must tell us about any claim as soon as reasonably possible. We will not be liable to you if we cannot carry out our duties or provide Services because of something beyond our control.

We will not be responsible for any harm you suffer from a Virus which infiltrates your devices, whether it was transmitted via the Mobile Data services or otherwise. You remain responsible for all Charges applied to Your Account(s) for the use of any Services activated by such a Virus.

This liability clause will apply even after this agreement has been terminated.
