Terms of Service
Last updated: 17 December 2024
Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Vertial Holdings Pty Ltd (ABN 72 629 494 926) ("Trvel", "we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using our website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our services.
1. About Our Services
1.1 Service Description
Trvel provides digital eSIM (embedded SIM) services that allow you to access mobile data services while travelling internationally. Our eSIMs are data-only and do not include voice calling or SMS services. Voice and messaging services may be accessed through internet-based applications using your data connection.
1.2 Service Availability
Our eSIM services are available in specific countries and regions as indicated on our website. Coverage, network availability, and data speeds may vary depending on your location, network conditions, and the local telecommunications infrastructure.
1.3 Eligibility
To use our services, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction
- Have a compatible, carrier-unlocked device that supports eSIM technology
- Provide accurate and complete information when making a purchase
- Have legal authority to enter into these Terms
2. Orders and Payment
2.1 Placing Orders
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase our services. We may accept or decline your order at our discretion. An order is only accepted when we send you an order confirmation email containing your eSIM QR code.
2.2 Pricing
All prices are displayed in your local currency where available (AUD, SGD, GBP, MYR, IDR) and include any applicable taxes. Prices are subject to change without notice, but changes will not affect orders that have already been confirmed.
2.3 Payment
Payment is processed securely through our payment provider, Stripe. We accept major credit and debit cards, as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay. You authorise us to charge the payment method you provide for the total amount of your order.
2.4 Order Confirmation
Upon successful payment, you will receive an email containing your eSIM QR code and installation instructions. Please check your spam folder if you do not receive this email within a few minutes of purchase.
3. eSIM Installation and Activation
3.1 Installation
You are responsible for installing the eSIM on your compatible device. Installation requires an internet connection (WiFi or mobile data). We recommend installing your eSIM before travelling while you have stable internet access.
3.2 QR Code Usage
Each eSIM QR code is single-use and can only be installed on one device. Once scanned and installed, the QR code cannot be used again. Do not share your QR code with others. If you accidentally delete your eSIM before using it, contact our support team for assistance.
3.3 Activation
Your eSIM plan validity period begins when you first connect to a mobile network in your destination country, not from the date of purchase or installation. This allows you to install your eSIM in advance of your trip.
3.4 Compatibility
It is your responsibility to ensure your device is compatible with eSIM technology and is carrier-unlocked before purchase. We provide compatibility information on our website, but you should verify compatibility with your device manufacturer if unsure.
4. Data Plans and Usage
4.1 Data Allowance
Our plans include a daily high-speed data allowance as specified at the time of purchase (typically 1GB per day). After the daily high-speed allowance is consumed, you will continue to have unlimited data access at reduced speeds until midnight local time.
4.2 Validity Period
Plans are available in various durations (5, 7, or 15 days as displayed). The validity period is counted in calendar days from the first data connection in your destination.
4.3 Fair Use
All usage is subject to our Fair Use Policy. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate service if we detect usage that violates our Fair Use Policy or these Terms.
5. Refunds and Guarantees
5.1 Refund Policy
We offer refunds under the following circumstances:
- Unused eSIM: If you have not installed (scanned) your eSIM QR code, you may request a full refund within 30 days of purchase.
- Technical Issues: If your eSIM fails to work due to a technical fault on our end, we will provide a full refund or replacement.
- 10-Minute Connection Guarantee: If we cannot get you connected within 10 minutes of you contacting our support team (during your trip), you will receive a full refund.
5.2 Non-Refundable Situations
Refunds are generally not available once an eSIM has been installed, as the QR code becomes single-use upon installation. Refunds are also not available for:
- Incompatible or carrier-locked devices
- User error during installation
- Network issues outside our control
- Change of travel plans after installation
5.3 Australian Consumer Law
If you are an Australian consumer, you have certain rights under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified. These Terms do not exclude, restrict, or modify the application of any condition, warranty, guarantee, right, or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law where to do so would be unlawful.
5.4 Consumer Guarantees
Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled to cancel your service contract with us and receive a refund for the unused portion, or compensation for its reduced value. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.
