By mutual written agreement, the Parties may enter into one or more Data Processing Addenda, Service Level Addenda, Supplemental Program Addenda, Supplemental Use Policies, and/or Service Orders to specify additional terms and conditions with respect to any Service or Program provided by Simvox Inc.

In the event that you previously entered into an agreement with Simvox Inc (an “Existing Terms of Service”), then such Existing Terms of Service shall automatically terminate without any further action by either Party on the Effective Date.
  2. Service Offerings.
    1. License to the Services. For the Term, and subject to the Terms of Service, Simvox Inc grants you a limited, time-bound, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-assignable license to use the Services in furtherance of your business or personal purposes.
    2. Registration. The Services can only be accessed after the creation of an Account. You may create an Account by providing Simvox Inc with certain information, including contact information, log-in credentials, payment, and billing sources (collectively “Registration Information”) and after authentication by Simvox Inc.  You agree that you shall update and ensure that your Registration Information is current and accurate at all times. You agree that you shall not disclose, transfer, license, or otherwise share your Account authentication without Simvox Inc’s prior written consent in each instance.
    3. Account Activities. The Services are designed to serve as a tool or utility in which Covered Users have broad discretion to Process Covered User Data. Accordingly, unless and to the extent that an event is caused by Simvox Inc’s failure to provide the Services in accordance with its obligations expressly assumed under this MSA, you are solely responsible and liable for all activities that are affiliated or associated with your Account, including without limitation: (i) the Processing of all Covered User Data; (ii) any Data Processed by any Covered User arising from or related to the Services; (iii) and any Data displayed, disclosed, generated, and/or published arising from or related to a Covered User’s use of the Services.

    2. Provision of Data Services. Data plans provide global roaming network connectivity. Simvox Inc pledges to uphold the highest standard of roaming network service as part of its regular business operations. However, given the intricate nature of global roaming and the involvement of third parties, Simvox Inc does not provide a specific assurance regarding local network speed or coverage levels, whether utilizing 3G, 4G LTE, 5G, or any other connection protocol. This disclaimer is notwithstanding the provisions for refunds in case of service failures, as outlined in the terms and conditions below.
    3. Privacy. Simvox Inc complies and operates under various privacy frameworks between the US and the international community which in part requires online service providers like Simvox Inc to protect personal Data of Covered Users from disclosure, subject to actions that satisfy legal due process and your consent (collectively the “Privacy Frameworks”). Simvox Inc’s obligations under the Privacy Frameworks and our privacy practices are described in our Privacy Policy found here. 
    4. Processing. Simvox Inc will allow you to determine where and how you wish to Process Covered User Data, provided that all Covered Users comply with the Terms of Service. Simvox Inc will Process Covered User Data in accordance with your instructions, pursuant to the Terms of Service, and as described in our Data Processing Addendum found here.
    5. Security. Subject to Sections 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, and 11, Simvox Inc will implement reasonable and appropriate measures to secure Covered User Data against accidental or unauthorized access, transmission, loss or disclosure. Unless otherwise expressly specified by an applicable Service Order, Simvox Inc shall have no obligation to maintain Covered User Data, backup Covered User Data, or otherwise store Customer Data on behalf of any Covered User. 
  4. Your Responsibilities. 
    1. Use of Services. You shall be responsible for all Data that is Processed by any Covered User and the otherwise use of the Services by a Covered User. 
    2. Covered Users. You control all Processing of Covered User Data and in your discretion, may permit other Covered Users to access the Services, subject to and in compliance with the Terms of Service. The number and/or types of Covered Users may be limited if and to the extent specified in a Service Order or SPA. Unless otherwise expressly permitted in this MSA, you shall not, and shall ensure that no Covered Users (unless, and solely to the extent permitted by the terms of an applicable open source license): (i) modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, copy, distribute, sublicense, sell, resell, lease, create derivative works based on, or otherwise exploit all or any software-related portion of the Services; or (ii) appoint, authorize, or permit anyone to license, sublicense, or distribute the Services to any third party, or permit any unauthorized third party to access or use, all or any portion of the Services. At all times, you shall be responsible for ensuring that all Covered Users (i) comply with the Terms of Service and (ii) are notified of the existence, modification and/or amendment of the Terms of Service. 
    3. Configuration of the Services. You shall ensure that the Services are properly configured for your purposes and shall take reasonable steps for securing and protecting Covered User Data. Without limiting Simvox Inc’s data security obligations hereunder, you shall ensure that your configuration of the Services contain appropriate and industry standard physical, administrative, and technical safeguards (including the use of firewalls, encryption, and other tools) to protect against breach, disclosure, or unauthorized access of Covered User Data and/or other Data that is Processed by any Covered User in connection with the Services, including without limitation any safeguards required by applicable data security and/or data privacy laws. You shall be responsible and liable for the activities of any individual or entity who gains access to Covered User Data or the Services as a result of your failure to comply with the obligations of this subsection. 
    4. Resale Prohibited. Covered Users are prohibited from selling or reselling any Service unless you, on behalf of yourself and all Covered Users, consent to the appropriate reseller SUP or SPA without exception. 
    5. Third Party Tools and Content. You shall be responsible for ensuring that all third party tools, content, and otherwise components added by you to any Service (collectively “Third Party Content”) shall conform to the Terms of Service, including without limitation Third Party Content made available to you on the Simvox Inc Marketplace. Third Party Content on the Simvox Inc Marketplace is made available to you by TSPs and not from Simvox Inc and may be subject to fees or costs imposed by third party service providers. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that Third Party Content used by you is fit for your purposes. You acknowledge and agree that Simvox Inc is not responsible for any Third Party Content Processed by any Covered User, and that the use of Third Party Content by any Covered User is at your sole and absolute risk. Simvox Inc may, at our sole discretion, prohibit the use of any Third Party Content at any time. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CONTENT, Simvox Inc IS NOT PARTY TO ANY TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN YOU AND THE APPLICABLE TSP, AND THAT IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND AN APPLICABLE TSP, YOU IRREVOCABLY RELEASE Simvox Inc FROM ANY AND ALL DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, REGULATORY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIRD PARTY CONTENT.
  5. Fees & Billing.
    1. Payments. Simvox Inc shall calculate, invoice, and charge Fees in advance of providing service on a daily, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis. For Monthly data plans, or when Auto Refill is selected for an account, you agree that Simvox Inc is permitted to automatically charge the payment mechanism associated with the Account for data package renewals. Payment for all Fees are due within three (3) days of invoicing and shall be paid to Simvox Inc without setoff, counterclaim, deduction, or withholding. Failure to entirely pay all Fees on a timely basis will result in loss of access to the Account and Service interruption. 
    2. Data Plans. The following Terms and Conditions are applicable to Prepaid and Unlimited Travel eSIM plans: 
      1. Prepayment. All data plans offered by Simvox Inc are time-based network access passes, with calculated fees covering the upfront provisioning of requested network resources for the specified time duration. These plans are prepaid, and Simvox Inc ensures the full allocation of data, whether used or not, during the plan's validity.
      2. Daily Data Limits. Plans featuring daily high-speed data limits (Unlimited eSIM plans only) do not permit the accumulation or transfer of unused data to subsequent days. The high-speed data limit remains constant for each 24-hour period, irrespective of prior usage. This limit resets every 24 hours, regardless of actual data consumption. The delivery speed of high-speed data is contingent upon the local roaming network's capability, offering speeds up to 4G LTE or 5G where available, although speed cannot be guaranteed.  
      3. Speed Limitation. Plans imposing speed limitations once the high-speed data quota is exhausted will operate at a maximum speed. This speed, while usually attainable, is not guaranteed and is contingent upon local network conditions and the signal strength at the user's specific location.  
      4. Unused Data. Plans featuring fixed or daily data allowances do not permit the carryover or pooling of unused data beyond the prepaid duration. Under no circumstances will unused data be eligible for refunds or transfer to a new data plan. However, the terms and conditions below outline the rights to refunds in the event of service failures.  
    3. Currency Exchange. Payments to Simvox Inc in currencies other than USD are subject to a variable foreign exchange fee, which is already included in the published prices. For the currencies listed below, no extra fees will be charged by your bank or payment providers, provided your payment account is denominated in the same currency as the selected currency on Simvox Inc. For payments in all currencies not listed below, your bank or payment provider may charge foreign exchange fees. Simvox Inc shall not be responsible for any bank fees or credit card fees for foreign currency exchange, which will be your sole responsibility based on agreements between you and your financial services provider.
      • USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, NZD, MXN, BRL, INR, PLN, ILS, CHF, ZAR, PHP, SGD, HKD, JPY, KRW, AED
    4. Third Party Fees. Simvox Inc shall not be responsible for any bank fees, interest charges, overdraft charges or other fees resulting from your payment of an invoice.
    5. Changes in Fees. Simvox Inc may increase, decrease, or add new Fees for any Service from time to time. Such changes to Fees will be effective after thirty (30) days of advance notice for active subscription plans, or effective immediately for new plan purchases.
    6. Refunds. Simvox Inc shall promptly refund payments for services that do not function, which are otherwise not usable by you, or which are no longer needed due to trip cancellation, change of plans, or any other reason, provided that no data has been consumed by the related service. Any Prepaid eSIM plan which consumes more than 10% of the plan's fixed data allowance, or any Unlimited eSIM plan which consumes more than 1 GB of data over any period of time, will be deemed to have been successfully provisioned and activated on the network, and will be non-refundable. Refunds are subject to the following terms and conditions:  
      1. In order to receive a refund, you must submit a request for a refund via email or through our Help Center.
      2. Refunds may be received in the form of a credit to the original payment method, or in the form of Simvox Inc Rewards Points which may redeemed for a future purchase or purchases according to the terms and conditions below.
      3. In the case of a refund issued to the original payment method, the refund will be issued to the original payment method from which the corresponding payment was received by Simvox Inc, and it will be your sole responsibility to communicate with your financial service provider in case of any failure to receive a refund transaction.
      4. In the case of a refund issued as Rewards Points, the quantity of Reward Points will be of equivalent redemption value to the original purchase transaction, at a ratio of $1 USD = 1000 Reward Points, which is the standard redemption value used throughout Simvox Inc products and services.
      5. Only payments made within thirty (30) days of a submitted cancellation request shall be eligible for a refund.
    7. Rewards Points. Simvox Inc may issue or generate Reward Points, which are available for your use with Simvox Inc, subject to the following terms and conditions:  
      1. Redemption Value. Rewards Points in the program hold a redemption value of $1 USD for every 1000 Reward Points, applicable when redeemed or credited for purchases made on Simvox Inc's website or app.  
      2. Non-Revocation. Simvox Inc commits not to revoke or reduce Rewards Points, nor will the value of Reward Points be altered post-issuance.  
      3. No Cash Value. Rewards Points do not possess any cash value, and no cash deposit or withdrawal to cash of Reward Points is permitted.  
      4. Permitted Usage. Rewards Points may be credited toward purchases and certain other offers made available by Simvox Inc from time to time, in the sole discretion of Simvox Inc. Reward Points may not be used for the payment, offset, reduction, or refund of any invoice generated before the issuance of Reward Points.  
      5. Minimum Redemption. The minimum quantity of Rewards Points that may be redeemed is 1000. 
      6. Discretionary Issuance. The issuance of Rewards Points is performed solely at Simvox Inc's discretion. You may not generate or claim Reward Points in any way except as permitted under the terms of this MSA.

All Intellectual Property and related material, including without limitation, any trade secrets, moral rights, goodwill, relevant registrations, or applications for registration, and rights in any patent, copyright, trademark, trade dress, industrial design, and trade name that is developed or produced by Simvox Inc shall be the sole property of Simvox Inc. The use of Simvox Inc Intellectual Property by a Covered User shall be strictly limited to the Term for the Services arising out of or relating to the Terms of Service, and shall not be used by any Covered User for any other reason. You shall be responsible for any and all damages resulting from the unauthorized use of Simvox Inc Intellectual Property. 
  7. Data and Intellectual Property Licenses. 
    1. Identification of the Parties. Each Party may use the name and logo of the other Party to factually identify Simvox Inc as the provider of the Services or that you are a Simvox Inc customer and may make no other use of any of such other Party’s Intellectual Property without such other Party’s prior written consent in each instance. Without limitation, the Parties shall not misrepresent or embellish the relationship between you and Simvox Inc. Each Party may terminate the other Party’s right to use the applicable Party’s name, logo, and any other marks at any time immediately upon valid Notice.

In addition, you grant Simvox Inc a license to de-personalize and aggregate any of the Covered User Data to determine usage trends, perform analytics, improve the Services, promote and market the effectiveness of the Services, or for any other ordinary business purpose, provided that such uses shall relate to Simvox Inc’s obligations to provide the Services to you. Simvox Inc shall have no obligation or liability in connection with any use of Covered User Data which is anonymized or otherwise de-personalized, unless, and to the extent, restricted by applicable law. 
  8. Appointment of Third Party Service Providers. Certain of Simvox Inc’s obligations under the Terms of Service may be performed by Third Party Service Providers. The responsibilities, obligations, and the rights of the Parties with respect to the use of Third Party Service Providers are provided in the DPA and Privacy Policy. In addition, you agree that Simvox Inc and Simvox Inc’s TSPs may Process Covered User Data in locations other than a Covered User’s country, provided that:
