1. The most important things You need to know when using Wizton:
1.1 No Emergency Calls: More important than anything: please remember that Wizton does not support any emergency calls to any type of hospitals, law enforcement agencies, medical care unit or any type of emergency services of any kind. Wizton is not a traditional telephone service or a replacement for Your primary telephone service. There are important differences between traditional telephone services and the Products. You need to make additional arrangements in order to access emergency services. It is Your responsibility to purchase, separately from the Products, traditional wireless or fixed line telephone services that offer access to emergency services. If, with Your permission, another user uses Your User Account or the Business Control Panel, it is Your responsibility to inform that user that it is not possible to support or carry emergency calls using the Products.
1.2 Jurisdiction Restrictions: If the law of Your country prohibits You from using the Products because You're under the age limit or just because the Products are not allowed in Your country, please don't use them.
1.3 This Agreement: These Terms of Service together with all updates and any Additional Terms applicable to Your use of the Wizton Services, collectively constitute the legal agreement between You and Wizton. To agree to these Terms of Service, click "Agree". If You do not agree to these Terms of Service, do not click "Agree", and do not use the Products. In some countries the Products may be provided by our local partner. If so, You will be asked to accept the partner's own terms of services, which will supersede these Terms of Service in case of conflict. You should print off or save a copy of these Terms or Service for your records.
2. Definitions
Capitalized terms that are not defined in these Terms of Service shall have the meaning given to them in the End User License Agreement. In addition the following terms and expressions shall have the following meanings:
Product(s): the payable internet communications products provided by Wizton in accordance with these Terms of Service;
Wizton: Wizton, UniReach Inc;
Terms of Service: these terms of service as may be renewed and/or amended from time to time.
3. What You should and should not expect from us
These should be Your expectations when You use Wizton:
3.1 Quality: Wizton will try to provide the Products with minimum disruptions. However please understand that Wizton can not guarantee that the Products will always function without disruptions, delay or other imperfections. Since the Products will be transmitted through public Internet lines and the public switched telephone network ("PSTN"), there may be power outages or Internet service disruption and You may experience some disruptions e.g. packet loss and delay which will interfere with the quality of Your communication.
3.2 Technical improvement and maintenance: Wizton may change technical features in order to keep pace with the latest demands and technological developments or to comply with any regulations. Wizton may also have to repair, improve, and/or upgrade the Products and this may require us to restrict, limit, suspend, interfere and/or interrupt the Products.
3.3 Content of communications: Wizton does not control, or have any knowledge of the content of any communication(s) spread by the use of the Products. The content of the communication is entirely the responsibility of the person from whom such content originated. You, therefore, may be exposed to content that is offensive, illegal, harmful to minors, indecent or otherwise objectionable.
4. What we expect from you.
4.1 Information. You will be required to provide Wizton in good time with any data or information necessary for a proper provision of the Products.
4.2 No reselling. You agree not to resell the Products to any third party.
4.3 Indemnity. YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD WIZTON AND ITS AFFILIATES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY AND COSTS, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES INCURRED BY SUCH PARTIES, IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF YOUR VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION, OR THE RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTIES RELATED TO THE USE OF THE WIZTON PRODUCTS.
5. Payment and Tariff Issues
5.1 Wizton Credit. To use the Products You need a sufficient balance of Wizton credit, which is credit purchased by You (or an Administrator of a Business Control Panel) from Wizton and allocated to Your User Account ("Wizton Credit"). You must deposit sufficient Wizton Credit in Your User Account through Your debit or credit card, PayPal, promotional voucher, or other means which may be made available by Wizton. Wizton reserves the right to stop accepting debit or credit cards from one or more issuers.
5.2 Restrictions. Wizton does not guarantee that You will be able to use Your Wizton Credit balance to purchase all the Products. Certain Products may have to be paid separately.

5.4 REFUND POLICY
(i) Refund Request: You can request a refund for unused and unexpired Products (such as unused Wizton Credit) in 7 days after you bought, by submitting a support request to Customer Support.

No refunds shall be given for Products (including Wizton Credit) that are not directly acquired online from Wizton (e.g. vouchers or pre-paid cards are not refundable). If You purchase Products (including Wizton Credit) via a third party partner of Wizton, any refund requests should be submitted to such partner and not Wizton. The partner may decide in its sole discretion whether or not to pay a refund.

(iii) Wizton reserves the right to deny repetitive refund requests (more than once for any given type of Products).
(iv) Wizton will refund the balance of Your Wizton Credit in the event You terminate Your User Account(s) as permitted under these Terms of Service or in the event that Wizton terminates these Terms of Services without serious cause.
(v) All refunds shall be paid to the person who initially purchased the Wizton Credit or Product, either through the original payment method used, or any other reasonable payment method to be determined by Wizton in its sole discretion, or Your Wizton Credit shall be adjusted accordingly.
(vi) Wizton reserves the right to terminate these Terms of Service with immediate effect, automatically and without recourse to the courts, in the event of any abuse by You of these terms relating to refunds.
5.5 PAYMENT
5.5.1 Charges and Rates

5.5.3 Free WiztonOut Promotions: For a limited period of time, Wizton may offer free WiztonOut calls from and to certain countries.

Wizton reminds You that it does not allow You to resell WiztonOut and that if Wizton does see intentional misuse, it reserves the right to terminate Your access to Your User Account immediately. And by the way, if You're using any service, proxy or other devices preventing us from locating You (for example by allocating You an anonymous IP address), Wizton reserves the right to charge Your calls at the normal rates, regardless of Your real location. Note that WiztonOut promotions exclude WiztonOut Premium and WiztonOut calls resulting from the activation of the "call forwarding" feature.
5.5.4 Charged in error. In the event You believe that Wizton has charged You in error, You must contact Wizton's customer services within 30 days after such charge. No refunds will be given for any charges which are more than 30 days old.
