The service is sold exclusively on a prepaid basis.

All services, including related offers and promotions, may be subject to additional, specific terms and conditions. Please check our website regularly, as these terms and conditions are updated from time to time.

You remain responsible to us under the contract for all actions performed by persons whom you have permitted to use the services via your account .

Our obligations

WonderSim provides the service in accordance with the contract and the description of the respective data package, from the moment the customer begins to use the service or purchases the data package.

We strive to make the Service available to you as much as possible. However, the availability and quality of the Service may be affected by factors beyond our control, such as physical obstacles, weather conditions or disruptions to the mobile network (the infrastructure, software and hardware required by a mobile network operator to provide wireless Internet services).

If such disruptions occur and their resolution is beyond our control, we are unfortunately unable to prevent them entirely.

We ourselves or our partners, the mobile network operators (i.e. companies that operate a mobile Internet network and own or control all the components necessary to provide mobile Internet services) must occasionally carry out work to upgrade or maintain the mobile network. This may temporarily affect the availability and/or quality of the service.

We try to keep such interruptions to a minimum, but cannot always guarantee this.

We provide the service with reasonable care and competence and endeavour to make the service available to you.

If you encounter any problems with our service or suspect fraudulent activity on your account, please contact our customer service immediately.

We reserve the right to modify the service from time to time without notice in order to comply with security requirements, legal requirements, regulations and other rules .

In doing so, we endeavour to ensure that such changes do not significantly affect the performance or scope of the service.

Your obligations

You must use the service in accordance with the contract and any other reasonable instructions that we or our customer service department may give you from time to time.

In particular, you are not permitted to use the eSIM card in any device other than the one with which it was supplied or for which it is intended (if it was not supplied with the card).

Furthermore, the eSIM card remains the property of WonderSim and/or its selected partners.

When opening your account, you must inform us of your country of residence.

Depending on applicable law, you are also required to provide us with a copy of your identity card or passport – either before you start using the services or within fifteen (15) days of starting to use the services at the latest.

If you do not comply with this requirement, we reserve the right to suspend the service immediately.

The eSIM card does not have a PIN code by default.

You are solely responsible for controlling access to your eSIM card and agree to pay for the service, regardless of whether you have authorised its use or not.

We accept no liability for fraudulent use of your eSIM card.

If you suspect that your eSIM card is being used without authorisation, please contact our customer service immediately so that appropriate measures can be taken on your account.

The eSIM card is assigned to the first owner of the device. This first owner remains responsible for the use of the card at all times, unless WonderSim has received proof of a device change.

The service is intended for surfing the Internet, email, downloading and uploading apps and content from the internet or third-party apps – usage should not place an excessive load on the network. You may not use the service for illegal, abusive or fraudulent purposes, in particular in a manner that:

  1. Impairs our ability to provide the service to you or other customers ;
  2. Abuses a bonus or promotional programme;
  3. Avoids your obligation to pay for the service.

Furthermore, you may not use the service in a manner that compromises the security or performance of the network, places an excessive and disproportionate load on the network, negatively affects the quality of service or legitimate data streams, reduces network performance, or causes damage to the network or other customers .

In addition, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion and for any reason :
