The Offer and Contractual Relationship
If an offer of Talk360 is subject to a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this will be explicitly mentioned in the offer.
Talk360 Credit Voucher PINs, offered by Talk360 or third-party resellers, should be redeemed within three (3) years after issuance of the Credit Voucher.
When redeemed, the stated monetary value of the Credit Voucher is loaded into the User’s Talk360 wallet.
The wallet balance may then be used in whole or in part to purchase Talk360’s international calling services or Mobile Top-Up (Shop360) Services, at the User’s discretion.
The value of redeemed wallet credit is treated as normal Talk360 Credit which may be used for Talk360 calling or Shop360 purchases of Mobile Airtime Top-up.
For the avoidance of doubt, the purchase of a Talk360 Credit Voucher itself does not constitute the purchase of any goods or services.
In accordance with applicable VAT principles (including section 10(18) of the South African VAT Act), VAT—if applicable—is determined and accounted for only upon redemption of the credit, depending on the service selected.
This approach applies globally unless superseded by local tax law.
The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the Services being offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable the User to make a proper assessment of the offer. Talk360 is not bound by obvious errors or mistakes in the offer.
Every offer contains information that makes it clear to the User what rights and obligations are related to the acceptance of the offer.
The contractual relationship between Talk360 and the User with respect to the purchase of Credit (see Clause 5) is subject to the terms set out in the offer at the time the User accepts the offer and fulfils its conditions. Upon successful purchase and redemption of a Credit Voucher, Talk360 will immediately increase the User’s Credit balance.
Neither Talk360 nor any third parties provide any warranty or guarantee as to the accuracy, timeliness, performance, completeness, or suitability of the information and materials found or offered on the website and in the Software for any particular purpose. Any such information and materials may contain inaccuracies or errors for which Talk360 accepts no liability to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Third-Party Services
You understand that the availability and use of the Services rely on third-party services, including but not limited to international carriers, local termination partners, and your local telecom and mobile operators (each referred to as a “Provider”).
Some Providers may restrict or prohibit the use of Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) features or other elements of the Services and might impose additional charges related to their use. It is your responsibility to confirm with your mobile operator (or any other relevant Provider) whether the use of the Services is allowed under your contractual agreements with them, and to be aware of and cover any additional fees that may be applied. Please note that once your call is connected to a number provided by Talk360, your Provider may begin charging for the call, even if the receiver is unavailable or the line is busy.
With respect to Mobile Top-Up Services (Shop360 Services), Talk360 acts solely as a distribution agent for independent third-party partners that provide the underlying airtime, data, or bundle products. Once a Mobile Top-Up transaction is completed, Talk360 no longer has control over the prepaid airtime balance or plan. The terms and conditions of the recipient’s local mobile network operator will govern the recipient’s use of the prepaid airtime or plan.
In this context, Talk360’s role is limited to facilitating the purchase and transmission of the Mobile Top-Up Service. The sale of such Mobile Top-Ups may be deemed to occur outside the country of purchase for VAT purposes, as the supplier of the underlying airtime or data product is the third-party partner or operator. Talk360 is not liable for any issues caused by the local mobile network operator or its service conditions.
The Services
Talk360 makes available to the User the Software. The Software is required for the User to make use of the Services. Additional terms and conditions may apply in order for the User to download the Software.
In order to use the Software and the Services, the User will need an internet broadband connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data connection). Additional charges from an internet service provider or telecommunication provider may apply.
The Services include international calling services provided directly by Talk360 and mobile top-up services (Shop360 Services) distributed by Talk360 as agent for independent third-party partners.
Users may access these Services in two ways:
- By redeeming Talk360 Credit — obtained through the purchase of a Talk360 Credit Voucher or by other top-up methods — and using the wallet balance to pay for the chosen Service; or
- By purchasing Shop360 Services directly in the Talk360 App or website using an accepted payment method such as a credit or debit card, without first adding Talk360 Credit to the wallet.
Talk360 may from time to time provide updates to the Software or may change the Services at any time. The User may be required to update the Software in order to continue using the Software and the Services.
The Services do not include support to call emergency telephone numbers (such as 112, 911, or ambulance/doctor telephones). In addition, the Services do not include support to call premium and/or service numbers.
The User shall use the Software and the Services in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands and the laws of the country where the User is located. The User is under no conditions authorised to:
• use any type of spider, virus, worm, trojan horse, time bomb or any other code or instruction designed to distort, delete, damage, emulate or disassemble the Software or the Services;
• send unsolicited communications; and/or
• impact or attempt to impact the availability of the Software or the Services.
In order to protect the interests of Users and ensure consumer protection, Talk360 reserves the right to block calls to specific numbers, groups of numbers, or certain countries either permanently or temporarily.
Talk360 Credit
In order to make use of the Services, the User may purchase or redeem Talk360 Credit (“Credit”).
For the avoidance of doubt, Talk360 Credit is prepaid value loaded by the User in advance and is not intended to be, and must not be interpreted as, the granting of credit or the provision of a loan.
Talk360 Credit represents a monetary balance that can be used within the Talk360 App to access Talk360’s international calling services or to purchase Mobile Top-Up (Shop360) Services for recipients in other countries.
Talk360 Credit can be obtained by:
• purchasing and redeeming a Talk360 Credit Voucher, or
• making a direct purchase using a supported payment method such as a credit or debit card, PayPal, or other means made available by Talk360.
The User is not entitled to any interest on unused Credit.
Talk360 may from time to time issue bonus or trial Credit for promotional purposes. Such bonus or trial Credit will be valid only for the limited period stated in the offer and will be subject to fair-use and other promotional conditions.
Using Talk360 Credit
Credit in the User’s wallet may be redeemed in whole or in part for:
• international calling, provided directly by Talk360; and/or
• Mobile Top-Up (Shop360) Services, distributed by Talk360 as agent for independent third-party partners who supply the underlying airtime, data, or bundle products.
For direct Shop360 purchases made with a card or other accepted payment method, the User may bypass the wallet entirely.
Specific terms and conditions applicable to Shop360 Services, including delivery, local operator taxes, and refund rules, are described in the Shop360 (Mobile Top-Up) Services section below.
Taxes
Taxes or value-added tax (“VAT”), if applicable, will be determined and applied in accordance with the tax laws of the relevant jurisdiction at the time the Credit is redeemed or the service is provided.
In certain destination countries, local operator taxes or fees beyond Talk360’s control may apply and will be deducted from the Top-Up value.
Credit Expiry and Inactivity
Purchased Talk360 Credit will have no fixed credit expiry period. Talk360 Credits will only expire in the event a user becomes inactive.
A User account will be considered inactive if no outbound calls or purchases of Talk360 Credit have been made for eighteen (12) months (365 days).
Talk360 will provide at least seven (7) days’ notice before marking a User inactive and expiring any remaining balance.
Auto-Recharge and One-Click Payments
Talk360 provides an optional auto-recharge feature.
If activated, the User’s Credit balance will be recharged automatically with the same amount and via the same payment method as when the feature was first enabled.
The User authorises Talk360 and its payment service provider to debit the User’s account accordingly.
The User may withdraw this mandate at any time by emailing support@talk360.com.
Talk360 will provide written advance notice of the amount due and the debit date at least twenty-four (24) hours before any SEPA direct debit is initiated.
A one-click payment option is also available for selected credit-card and PayPal payments.
Upon activation, the User authorises Talk360 and its payment service provider to charge the stored payment method when the payment button is clicked.
This feature may be withdrawn at any time by emailing support@talk360.com.
All automatic or one-click payments remain subject to the terms and conditions of Talk360’s payment service provider.
Prices
The standard rates and applicable denominations for Talk360 Services are listed on the Talk360 website and within the App.
Rates and service fees may be changed by Talk360 at any time without prior notice by publishing such changes online.
The new rates will apply once published.
Call durations are charged in one-minute increments, and fractions of a minute are rounded up to the next minute.
Talk360 may include a service fee in the total amount billed; this will not be listed separately.
If payment is made in a different currency, the exchange rate on the payment date will apply and a conversion fee may be charged.
All prices include taxes where applicable.
Shop360 (Mobile Top-Up) Services
Shop360 Services enable Users to purchase prepaid airtime, data, or bundle products (“Mobile Top-Ups”) for recipients on selected mobile networks in various destination countries.
These Top-Ups are supplied by independent third-party partners and mobile network operators. Talk360 acts solely as a distribution agent, facilitating the purchase and transmission of the Mobile Top-Up.
How Shop360 Works
Mobile Top-Ups may be purchased:
• using Talk360 Credit already loaded in the User’s wallet; or
• by paying directly with an accepted payment method (for example, credit or debit card, PayPal, or any other method available in the App or on the website).
Once a Mobile Top-Up transaction is confirmed, the value is sent to the recipient’s mobile operator for crediting to the recipient’s prepaid account.
Delivery times may vary depending on the destination country, network operator, or service conditions.
If a transaction cannot be completed, any reserved payment will be released, and the User will be notified of the outcome.
Users are responsible for ensuring that all recipient details (for example, phone number or other identifier) are accurate and complete.
Once a Mobile Top-Up request is confirmed, it cannot be changed or cancelled.
Transactions are final and non-refundable, except where required by law or where Talk360 determines that an error occurred on its side.
Pricing, Taxes, and Fees as applicable to Shop360
The total price shown at checkout includes all applicable fees and charges.
Talk360 may include a service fee in the total amount billed; this will not be listed separately.
In certain destination countries, local operator taxes or fees beyond Talk360’s control may apply and will be deducted from the Top-Up value.
Talk360 or its partners may impose limits on the number or total value of Top-Ups that can be purchased or received within a specific time period.
If payment is made in a different currency, the exchange rate on the payment date will apply and a conversion fee may be charged.
Rates and service levels may change from time to time; the latest information will be displayed in the App or on the website at the time of purchase.
Completion of the Shop360 Transaction
Once the Mobile Top-Up is accepted by the recipient’s mobile operator or processing hub, Talk360 no longer has control over the prepaid balance or plan.
Responsibility for the use, expiry, or quality of the Mobile Top-Up then rests with the mobile operator or service provider that supplied it.
If you believe a Mobile Top-Up has not reached the intended recipient, contact Talk360 Support immediately and provide payment and recipient details so that the transaction can be investigated.
Right of withdrawal
The User, whose actions are not carried out for objectives relating to the course of a trade, a profession or a business, has the right to dissolve the contract with Talk360, without giving reasons during a period of fourteen days after the day the contract with Talk360 was concluded. The right of withdrawal is not available to the User after the full completion of the services by Talk360.
The User who wants to exercise his right of withdrawal shall report this to Talk360, within the period of fourteen days after the day the contract was concluded, by means of the model form for right of withdrawal (by means of sending an email to support@talk360.com with the following details: “date the call credits were purchased”, “used payment method”, “mobile number / Account ID” and “name and address”).
The risk and the burden of proof for exercising the right of withdrawal correctly and in time rest upon the User.
If the User is refunded purchased credits, the balance outstanding will be deducted from the account of the User.
If the User exercises his right of withdrawal, the User shall owe Talk360 a sum of money that is equivalent to that proportion of the contract that Talk360 has fulfilled at the moment of withdrawal, in comparison with fulfilling the contract entirely.
No refunds shall be given for any promotional amounts and/or bonus credits given by Talk360.
Mobile Topup (Shop360) purchases are not eligible for refunds.
Repetitive refund requests from the same user would be refused.
Talk360 will reimburse the User within 14 days after the day on which the User reported the withdrawal with all payments. For any reimbursement, Talk360 will use the same payment method that was initially used by the User, unless the User agrees to another payment method.
All refund requests must be made within 90 days of a charge by Talk360 or payment to Talk360. After 90 days, all charges and payments are final and non-refundable.
For avoidance of doubt, this right does not apply to Mobile Top-Up Services once delivered or to promotional bonus Credit.
