Terms & Conditions

Your agreement is with WLcom Inc., the service provider for the Data WLcoming SIM card and other Devices, and includes these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"), your Service Agreement, applicable supplemental terms and conditions for other services, and your Rate Plan terms (collectively "Agreement").

Your Rate Plan includes service allotments for minutes, messages or data ("Allotments"), rates, coverage and other terms ("Rate Plan"). The terms of your Rate Plan are available at www.wlcom.mobi and at our retail locations. To the extent any term in your Rate Plan expressly conflicts with these Terms, the term in your Rate Plan will govern.

Please read these Terms carefully. They cover important information about all WLcom Inc. services provided to you (the "Service") and any WLcom supplied phone, SIM card, or other equipment ("Device"). These Terms include limitations of liability, privacy and resolution of disputes by arbitration instead of in court. To the extent these Terms conflict with the WLcom Inc. Terms and Conditions you receive with your Device, these Terms apply; different Terms may apply to different lines of service on your account.

You declare that you are at least 18 years old. If you sign on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to sign. You agree to pay any access and usage charges, taxes, fees and other charges that were accepted or processed through your Device ("Charges"). You may designate others to manage or make changes to your account ("Authorized User"). You and Authorized Users will have access to all account information. If you give your personal account validation information to someone, they can access and make changes to your account just as you can. Those changes will bind you. You may request to switch to another Rate Plan, and if we authorize the change, a transfer fee may apply. Changes may increase or decrease the cost of your service.

1. Acceptance. YOUR AGREEMENT WITH WLCOM INC. STARTS WHEN YOU ACCEPT. You accept by doing any of the following: (a) provide us a written or electronic signature, your personal details or telling us orally that you accept; (b) activating the Service; (c) using your Service after you make a change or addition; or (d) paying for the Service or Device. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT, DON'T DO ANY OF THESE THINGS.

2. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US IN ANY WAY RELATED TO OR CONCERNING THE AGREEMENT, OUR SERVICES, DEVICES OR PRODUCTS, INCLUDING ANY BILLING DISPUTES, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT. This includes any claims against other parties relating to Services or Devices provided or billed to you (such as our suppliers or retail dealers) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. THE ARBITRATOR MUST FOLLOW THIS AGREEMENT AND CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES).

For all disputes whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve your claim by sending a written description of your claim to the address in Section 13 below. We each agree to negotiate with each other in good faith about your claim. If we do not resolve the claim within 60 days after we receive this claim description, you may pursue your claim in arbitration. You may pursue your claim in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Notwithstanding the above, YOU MAY CHOOSE TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN COURT AND NOT BY ARBITRATION if: (a) your claim qualifies, you may initiate proceedings in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ACTIVATED THAT PARTICULAR LINE OF SERVICE (the "Opt Out Deadline"). You may opt out of these arbitration procedures by contacting WLcom Inc. at the address in Section 13 below.  Any opt-out received after the Opt Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your claim in arbitration or small claims court.

If the arbitration provision applies or you choose arbitration to resolve your disputes, then either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. You must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent (see Section 13) to begin arbitration. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court

CLASS ACTION WAIVER. WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE  RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you. If you chose to pursue your claim in court by opting out of the arbitration provision as specified above, this Class Action Waiver provision will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other customer, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt out requirements above.

JURY TRIAL WAIVER. If a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

3. Cancellation and Returns. For customers who purchase a WLcom SIM directly from WLcom SIM’s on-line store you can return your WLcom SIM WITHIN 14 DAYS of purchase (or the maximum as permitted within your province of residence) ("Return Period"). To receive a refund of the purchase price of your WLcom SIM (less any rebates and shipping costs), you must ship the unused package, on your own expense,  to our offices (with original packaging and all contents) within the Return Period in undamaged condition and good working order. You may be required to pay a restocking fee. For WLcom SIM purchased from an independent retailer, return to the retailer for equipment return details. If you purchased your WLcom SIM through a dealer, the dealer's return policy may differ from WLcom Inc. policies.

SERVICE. There will be no refund of Service fees once the Service is activated.

4.    Our Rights to Make Changes. Your Service is subject to our business policies, practices, and procedures, which we can change without further notice. UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY LAW, WE CAN CHANGE PRICES, CHARGES AND ANY TERMS IN THE AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME WITH NO PRIOR NOTICE.

5. WLcom SIM Compatibility with Other Networks. The Data WLcom SIM card (used in all WLcom Devices) is designed to be used only with the WLcom service.

6. Service Availability. You acknowledge and agree that service may not be available in all areas in which you travel. Coverage maps only approximate our anticipated wireless coverage area outdoors; actual Service area, coverage and quality may vary and change without notice depending on a variety of factors including network capacity, terrain and weather. You agree we are not liable for Service availability or problems related to quality.

7. 9-1-1. When making 9-1-1 or other emergency calls, you should be prepared to provide information about where you are located. 9-1-1 operators may not know your phone number or have information about your location. WLcom Inc. is not responsible for failures to connect or complete 9-1-1 calls or if inaccurate location information is provided.

8. Charges. If you are on a data plan, and exceed your data limit, you may purchase an additional data plan to resume data usage. We do not guarantee that you will not receive spam or other unsolicited messages, and you agree that we are not liable for such messages.

Wireless devices can be used to purchase goods, content and services (including subscription plans) such as ring tones, graphics, games and alerts from WLcom Inc. or other companies. You are responsible for all Charges associated with such purchases.

9. Roaming and International coverage. You acknowledge and agree that the WLcom Service covers where WLcom Inc. network coverage is available, see coverage list at https://www.WLcom.mobi/site/faq

11. Payments. If we do not receive payment in full before the Service is activated, WLcom Inc. may immediately suspend or cancel your Service.

12. Your Right to Dispute Charges. If you have a dispute regarding your charges to your account, you agree to notify us of the dispute within 30 days after the date you first receive the disputed bill or charge ("Dispute Period"), unless otherwise provided by law. If you do not notify us of your dispute in writing within this time period, you may not pursue a claim in arbitration or in court. If you accept a credit, refund or other compensation or benefit to resolve a disputed bill or charge, you agree that the issue is fully and finally resolved. For unresolved disputes see Section 2 above. To contact or notify us, see Section 13.

Upon receiving notice that your device is lost or stolen, WLcom Inc. will temporarily deactivate your Service.

The suspension period will not alter the expiration date of the Service for which you have paid prior to your Device being lost or stolen (the "Expiration Date"). The time period for which you have paid will continue to run and your Service will expire on the Expiration Date. If your Service has expired prior to you notifying WLcom SIM customer service that you have purchased a new SIM card and wish to re-activate then you will be required to pay for the full cost of the Service plan you select at time of re-activation.

15. Misuse of Service or Device. You agree not to misuse the Service or Device, including but not limited to: (a) reselling or rebilling our Service; (b) using the Service or Device to engage in unlawful activity, or in conduct that adversely affects our customers, employees, business, or any other person(s), or that interferes with our operations, network, reputation, or ability to provide quality service, including but not limited to the generation or dissemination of viruses, malware or "denial of service" attacks; (c) using the Service as a substitute or backup for private lines or dedicated data connections; (d) tampering with or modifying any Mobile Device or Device; (e) "spamming" or engaging in other abusive or unsolicited communications, or any other mass, automated voice or data communication for commercial or marketing purposes; (f) continuous uninterrupted mobile to mobile or mobile to landline voice calls; (g) reselling WLcom SIM for profit, or tampering with, reprogramming or altering WLcom SIM for the purpose of reselling WLcom SIM; (h) using the Service in connection with server devices or host computer applications, including continuous Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, automated machine-to-machine connections or peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing applications that are broadcast to multiple servers or recipients, "bots" or similar routines that could disrupt net user groups or email use by others or other applications that denigrate network capacity or functionality; (i) accessing, or attempting to access without authority, the information, accounts or devices of others, or to penetrate, or attempt to penetrate, WLcom SIM's or another entity's network or systems; (j) running software or other devices that maintain continuously active Internet connections when a computer's connection would otherwise be idle, or "keep alive" functions (e.g. using a Data Plan for Web broadcasting, operating servers, telemetry devices and/or supervisory control and data acquisition devices); or (k) assisting or facilitating anyone else in any of the above activities. WLcom will presume you are engaging in an unauthorized use in violation of these Terms and Conditions, if in WLcom’s sole opinion, you are placing an abnormally high number of calls, or repeatedly placing calls of unusually long duration, or if your talk, text or data usage is harmful or disruptive to the Carrier’s network or service levels. If we determine, at our sole discretion, that you are using the WLcom's Service in violation of the WLcom Terms and Conditions of Service, or in any other manner that we deem to be unreasonable or excessive, then we may terminate individual calls or data connections, terminate or reduce data throughput or terminate your Service.
