2. Description of Services
2.1. Accessing Services
TropiTrade provides a global eSIM platform that facilitates accessible international connectivity via eSIM technology. We offer comprehensive voice, text, and data packages in multiple countries, which can be activated immediately on compatible devices, thereby reducing reliance on traditional SIM cards.
2.2. Account Registration and Management
To utilize our services, customers are required to create an account with TropiTrade. During this registration process, you will be asked to provide personal information such as your name, address, telephone number, and email. It is essential that all information remains accurate and up-to-date. You are solely responsible for the confidentiality and security of your account details, including your login and password. TropiTrade is not liable for any unauthorized access to your account. Immediate notification to TropiTrade is required if there is any unauthorized use or security breach of your account.
The primary registrant of the services will act as the “Account Owner,” responsible for complying with these terms and reaping all associated benefits. If a business entity registers the account, it will be recognized as the Account Owner. Account privileges are non-transferable.
2.3. Customer and Business Information Requirements
All customers, encompassing end users, business users, and those receiving services through another customer’s account, need to agree to our General Terms and Conditions:
- End Users must provide essential details such as first and last names, and email address for personal transactions.
- Business Users require additional information including the company’s name, address, and other contact details to customize services according to business needs.
- Service Recipients will have their details managed by the initiating account owner.
We reserve the right to request additional information as needed to adapt our services to evolving requirements and to enhance user experiences, while respecting privacy laws.
2.4. TropiTrade Engagements
We strive to provide reliable and high-quality services but do not guarantee uninterrupted or flawless service delivery.
2.5. User Conduct and Device Compatibility
Customers must not engage in any activity that is illegal, abusive, or that could damage the network or impair service delivery. Non-compliance may result in suspension of services, though financial obligations continue during any such suspension.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that their device is eSIM compatible and not restricted by network locks. A list of compatible devices is provided during checkout, which customers must review to confirm compatibility. This list is periodically updated to include new compatible devices.
3. Contract Initiation, Duration, and Termination
3.1. Initiation of Contract
The contract between TropiTrade and the Customer is established once the Customer completes an order through the TropiTrade website (https://www.tropitrade.com, including any associated subdomains), on affiliated platforms, or through any TropiTrade product that facilitates order placement.
3.2. Activation and Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the Customer to activate the eSIM and adhere to the Activation Policy provided at the time of purchase.
3.3. Termination of Contract
For individual users (End Users), the contract terminates if there is no active data package or if the eSIM is removed from the device. In contrast, for business clients (Business Users), contract termination is contingent upon the specific terms outlined in any agreement they may have with TropiTrade. If there is an agreement in place or ongoing participation on a partnered platform, the contract remains active, regardless of eSIM status or active data packages. This approach reflects a sustained commitment and partnership between TropiTrade and the Business User.
4. Payment and Charges
4.1. Payment Processing
Customers are required to make payments and cover any associated expenses through a designated third-party payment processing system (“PSP”), such as Stripe. To utilize these services, customers must establish an account with the PSP, agree to its terms of service, provide payment details, and complete any necessary vetting process (referred to as the “PSP Services Agreement”). By accepting these Terms of Service, customers confirm their understanding and agreement to the PSP Services Agreement. TropiTrade is not a participant in the PSP Services Agreement and holds no responsibility or liability under it, as the contract is solely between the customer, the PSP, and any other parties involved.
4.2. Taxation on Services
Prices and fees for services listed on TropiTrade do not include applicable taxes such as VAT, sales, goods, and services taxes, unless explicitly stated. These taxes are calculated based on the rates applicable to the billing address you provide and are added at the time the transaction is charged to your account.
4.3. Payment Methods and Currency
TropiTrade accepts several payment options, including Credit/Debit Card, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and iDEAL (where supported). Transactions are processed in Euro (€) or US Dollar ($), depending on your region. Card transactions are securely managed by recognized PSPs, such as Stripe.
4.4. Future automatic renewal (when available)
TropiTrade may, in the future, offer an optional automatic-renewal service for selected eSIM bundles. If and when this option becomes available, the renewal terms (charges, cancellation, notice period) will be presented during checkout and accepted explicitly by the customer. Currently, all eSIM purchases are one-time transactions; no automatic charges occur after activation.
4.5. Affiliate-partner invoicing
Affiliate partners may issue invoices to TropiTrade for commissions or services rendered, in accordance with the partner agreement. TropiTrade may also offer wholesale invoicing for B2B partners in the future under separate agreement.
5. Delivery
5.1 Delivery to End Users
Upon purchase, End Users will receive their eSIM details directly via a confirmation email. This email will include all necessary information for installing and activating the eSIM, ensuring that users can start using their service promptly and efficiently. All relevant details are securely managed and accessible through the user’s TropiTrade account.
5.2 Delivery to Business Users
Business Users will receive eSIMs and associated top-up packages directly through their registered email, which are also managed on the Partner Platform. This method facilitates efficient handling and deployment of eSIMs tailored to meet the specific needs of each business operation.
5.3 Tailored Delivery Methods
Understanding the diverse needs of our customers, TropiTrade delivers its products and services primarily via email, tailored to the specific integration methods and service requirements of our users. This approach ensures a swift and secure delivery of services to both End Users and Business Users.
6. Refund/Cancellation/Modification Policy
6.1 Refund and Replacement Policy
Customers have the right to request a refund or replacement of their eSIM if they cannot use the services due to an error on our part. Refund requests must be submitted within thirty (30) days from the date of purchase. However, we are not obligated to issue a refund if we resolve the issue within 10 days of being notified. Customers must cooperate with our efforts to solve the problem, and failure to do so may result in the denial of a refund. It is important to note that each data package has a specific validity period, and no refunds will be provided for unused data once this period expires.
6.2 Exceptions to Refund Policy
- Compensation for External Costs: No refunds will be provided for costs incurred through alternative phones, SIM cards, service providers, or any other charges unrelated to the direct services provided by us.
- Fraudulent Purchases: We reserve the right to refuse refunds in cases of suspected abuse, violation of our Terms and Conditions, or fraudulent activity associated with the use of our services.
- Unauthorized Purchases: Customers must notify us immediately of any suspected unauthorized purchases. These cases will be investigated, and refunds will only be processed upon confirmation of the issue.
- Accidental Purchases: Once an eSIM is installed, it is considered used, and no refunds are available unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Disputed Charges: If a charge is disputed in good faith, customers must notify us within twelve (12) days of the charge, explaining why it is incorrect and, if possible, what they believe the correct charge should be.
6.3 Replacement of eSIMs
eSIMs purchased with promotional credits can be replaced within 30 days of purchase, subject to our review and approval.
6.4 General Refund Inquiries
For any refund requests not covered above, we will assess them on a case-by-case basis. If approved, a processing fee may apply. The amount refunded will not exceed the total amount paid by the customer.
6.5 Refund Process
To initiate a refund, customers should contact our support team via web chat. We may request additional information to support the refund request, such as screenshots or detailed explanations of the issue. Refunds can be issued back to the original payment method or as store credit, depending on the customer’s preference. Once issued, refunds may take up to thirty (30) business days to process, depending on the customer’s bank.
6.6 Purchases Through Resellers
Customers who purchase our services through a reseller must request refunds directly from the reseller, as we do not handle refunds for these transactions directly. We are committed to customer satisfaction but must adhere to our resellers’ policies for transactions made outside our direct sales channels.
6.7 Business User Refunds
For transactions made directly with us by business users, refunds may be processed as credits or credit notes, offering flexibility for future purchases or services.
7. eSIM Activation and Expiration
7.1. The validity period of an eSIM begins at the moment of activation. Activation occurs on first connection to a supporting network in the destination country. Unactivated eSIMs remain available for activation for one (1) year from the date of purchase, after which they may expire. Specific expiration details are stated in the order confirmation email.
7.2. Once activated, the validity period of the data bundle (e.g. 7 days, 30 days) starts running according to the bundle’s stated terms. Unused data does not roll over after the validity period ends.
8. Pricing and Promotions
8.1. Prices and changes
All prices on TropiTrade are clearly displayed in the shop. We reserve the right to change prices based on market conditions, supplier agreements or strategic decisions. Changes do not apply to orders that have already been placed and paid.
8.2. Promotions and discounts
TropiTrade may offer promotions, discount codes or temporary deals. Additional terms apply to promotions, which are published at the time of the action. Not all promotions are combinable with each other.
8.3. Affiliate and partner programs
Affiliate partners may receive unique discount codes to share with end users. Misuse of these codes (e.g. publicly sharing on coupon sites without permission) may result in deactivation of the code and/or the partner account.
8.4. Bulk and business pricing on request
Bulk or wholesale pricing for business users with larger orders is not advertised on the site. Business users are welcome to request a custom quote and partnership agreement by contacting [email protected].
8.5. Taxes and levies

9. Compliance with Local Regulations
When utilizing our services, users agree to adhere to all relevant local laws and regulations applicable to the use of telecommunications services and mobile device registration in their respective countries. Necessary actions may be taken on behalf of the user to ensure compliance with these local requirements.
By accepting our Terms and Conditions, users consent to the use of their personal data in line with local data protection laws to facilitate these compliance efforts.
9.1 Local requirements
In some countries, additional local rules may apply to the use of mobile services, such as device or SIM registration requirements. Users are responsible for checking and complying with the rules that apply in the country where they use the service.
10. Location Information Management
10.1. Location use
TropiTrade does not collect precise location data such as GPS coordinates. Our website derives an approximate location from your IP address, for example to show relevant destinations and prices.
10.2. Network data
When you use your eSIM, the mobile network operator that provides coverage processes technical location data (such as cell tower connections) to establish the connection. That processing is done by the operator under its own policies, not by TropiTrade. For support purposes, TropiTrade can view through its eSIM supplier which network and country an eSIM was last registered on; this is country-level information only.
10.3. Your settings
You manage location permissions yourself through your device settings at any time. How we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

20. TropiCredits Loyalty Program
20.1. Program overview
TropiCredits is a customer loyalty program operated by TropiTrade. Eligible orders automatically earn credits that can be applied to future purchases on the Website. Participation is automatic for any customer with a valid email address; no separate enrollment is required.
20.2. Earning credits
On every order with status "Completed", the customer earns credits at the rate announced by TropiTrade from time to time on the Website. The applicable rate may vary based on promotional campaigns, product categories, customer segments, or other commercial considerations. The rate in effect at the time of the order is shown to logged-in customers in their My Credits dashboard. The credits earned for a specific order are shown in the corresponding order confirmation. TropiTrade may change the rate prospectively in accordance with Section 20.13.
20.3. Using credits at checkout
Credits can be applied at checkout via the TropiCredits panel in the discount section. The maximum amount applicable to a single order is limited to the lower of: (a) the customer's available credit balance, or (b) the order total after any coupon discounts and before shipping and taxes. Credits and coupon codes may be combined on the same order.
20.4. Account required to redeem
Earning credits does not require a registered account; credits are tracked against the customer's email address. To redeem credits at checkout, the customer must be logged in to a TropiTrade account associated with that email address. Credits earned as a guest are automatically linked to the customer's account upon registration with the same email.
20.5. Expiry
Credits expire one (1) year after the customer's last credit-affecting activity (earn, redeem, or refund). Each new earning event extends the expiry period by another year. Expired credits are forfeited and cannot be reinstated.
20.6. No cash value; non-transferable
Credits have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred to another customer, gifted, sold or assigned. Credits may only be used to reduce the payable amount of an order placed by the same customer. Credits do not accrue interest.
20.7. Refunds and reversals
When an order is refunded in whole or in part: (a) credits earned on the refunded portion will be reversed proportionally, and (b) credits that the customer used on the refunded portion will be returned proportionally to the customer's balance. The adjustment is calculated automatically and reflected in the customer's transaction history.
20.8. Fraud and abuse
TropiTrade reserves the right to cancel, reverse, or withhold credits, and to suspend or terminate the customer's account, in the event of fraud, abuse, manipulation (including attempts to circumvent the technical controls of the credit system, multiple-account schemes, or unauthorized transfer of credits), or any violation of these Terms or applicable law. Each natural person is entitled to participate in the program with one (1) account only.
20.9. Eligibility
The TropiCredits program is open to individual consumers aged eighteen (18) years or older. The program is not available for wholesale, reseller, or other business accounts unless TropiTrade has explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. TropiTrade may restrict participation in specific countries or regions where required by applicable law or commercial policy.
20.10. Promotional and gift credits
From time to time TropiTrade may grant credits outside the standard earning rate, including but not limited to promotional bonus credits, gift credits (for example as part of the TropiTrade gift-eSIM flow), goodwill adjustments, or compensation credits. Such credits may be subject to specific terms (different expiry, restricted product scope, non-refundable, time-limited) which will be communicated at the time the credits are granted. Where no specific terms are communicated, the rules of this Section 20 apply by default.
20.11. Account closure
If the customer closes their TropiTrade account, or if TropiTrade terminates the account in accordance with these Terms, the customer's credit balance is forfeited as of the moment of closure and cannot be reinstated, except where mandatory consumer law requires otherwise. Pending earned credits that have not yet been credited at the time of closure may be cancelled at TropiTrade's discretion.
20.12. Tax considerations
TropiTrade does not provide tax advice in connection with the TropiCredits program. Any tax consequences arising from the receipt or use of credits are the sole responsibility of the customer. Customers in business contexts are encouraged to consult their own tax advisor regarding the treatment of credits as a price reduction or otherwise.
20.13. Modification and termination of the program
TropiTrade may change the earning rate, the expiry period, the maximum amount applicable per order, the list of eligible products or services, or any other parameter of the program at any time. TropiTrade may also suspend or terminate the TropiCredits program in whole or in part. Material changes will be communicated via the Website and/or by email at least thirty (30) days before they take effect, except for changes required by law or necessary to address fraud, security, or technical issues. Credits already earned remain valid under the rules in force at the time they were earned.
20.14. No warranty on continuity
Participation in the TropiCredits program does not create any contractual right to a specific credit balance, to a specific earning rate, or to any specific program parameters in the future. Credits represent a discretionary benefit granted by TropiTrade and are subject to the limitations of liability set out elsewhere in these Terms.
